Seventy-seven Yuanzhou
Liu Ce is very annoyed now, really annoyed, Feng Ying once again rejected his plan to install a horse equipment, in the final analysis, there is still a lack of iron. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Thinking of this, Liu Ce began to ask Qin Mo and Ye Bin to go to Yuanzhou City to find merchants to buy iron materials and other materials, and by the way, let them go back to their hometowns to see, after all, the two have also left the Far East for many years, even if they are no longer at home, it is good to go to Yuanzhou City to relieve homesickness, and he took over from Qin Mo and began to draw a topographic map of the Han Tombs.
Qin Mo and Ye Bin were ordered to go, and before leaving, Qin Mo asked Liu Ce to write a report document and ask them to bring it to the Governor's Mansion along the way. After all, Jiang Xun is Liu Ce's direct boss now, no matter how Jiang Xun treats everyone in the Jingwei Camp, he can't be too stiff in face, especially now at the critical moment when many things have to start all over again.
Liu Ce thought about it and agreed, and personally wrote a letter of report that he thought was more sincere, but as for the gift proposed by Ye Bin, it was directly ignored by Hua Li. Although he has seized a lot of money in Heyuan for more than half a year, he has not yet reached the point of being a boy who scatters money, not to mention that the current financial department is expected to have only expenditure and no income for a long time, and if he can save unnecessary expenses, he will try to save them on the tip of the knife.
After Qin Mo and Ye Bin said goodbye to Liu Ce, they took dozens of soldiers to Yuanzhou City to purchase the materials they needed. Liu Ce looked at the two of them leaving their backs, and said to Hong Yingwen behind him: "Old Hong, this general has just arrived, you can take me to the forts under your jurisdiction now, and I can also think about what to do next." ”
Hong Yingwen replied respectfully: "Obey orders." He Chinese New Year's Eve six years of his military career, because his family was poor, he had no money to bribe his former boss, and over time he was assigned here to be a city guard and fend for himself.
Now, a new boss has finally appeared, and he has just been in office for more than ten days, and he has made Hanling City full of vitality, which has made his already dead mentality a little more energetic.
……
In Yuanzhou City, Qin Mo and Ye Bin walked on the side of the spacious street, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"It's been six years, Brother Qin, how do you feel about revisiting your hometown this time?" Ye Bin looked at the middle of the busy street and asked casually.
However, there was no response from Qin Mo for a long time, Ye Bin looked back, and saw that Qin Mo was staring blankly at the surrounding street scene and deaf to Ye Bin's words, Ye Bin smiled and did not disturb his friend.
After a long time, Qin Mo sighed and said: "The people outside the city are like hell on earth, but here is such a peaceful scene, alas~ This is the Shi clan~"
Ye Bin patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Brother Qin, don't think too much, with the general and the Jingwei battalion here, I believe that the people of the Far East will soon be as safe and easy as here, isn't this the reason why you and I are far away?" ”
Qin Mo nodded and said: "What Brother Ye said is exact, Mo just has some feelings, let's hurry up and contact the merchants, buy the materials needed by the general, and go to the governor's palace to report and hurry back to the Han Tomb, the general still has a lot of things waiting for us to help......"
After a morning of buyers, Ye Bin and Qin Mo contacted more than a dozen merchants and purchased a large number of iron, stone, wood and cloth materials that are urgently needed. After paying the deposit, the merchant promised to deliver the goods within three days and then deliver it to the Hanling City within five days......
As soon as they entered the inner city of Yuanzhou, Qin and Ye were stopped by the guards, and they needed to show their identity or passage documents on behalf of the scholars, after all, Yuanzhou City stipulated that only people from the scholars could enter and leave at will. Qin Mo is no longer a member of the scholar clan, so he naturally has no identity items, but with Liu Ce's report booklet in his hand, the guard is naturally not embarrassed. Although Liu Ce belongs to the Shu clan, no matter how people say it, he is the commander of an entire flag regiment, and he is by no means a small guard who can provoke at will. And Ye Bin just traveled away from home, and his identity was still from the Shi clan, I saw him take out the red bronze square plate of the Ye family in the Far East, and the guards immediately let him go without saying a word, and the two of them easily entered the inner city and walked towards the governor's mansion......
"Lord Qiqi, there are two people outside the door who claim to be subordinates of Liu Ce of the Jingwei Battalion and ask to see them, saying that they have sent a booklet to take office." In the hall of the Governor's Palace, the guards were reporting to Jiang Xun about the arrival of Qin Mo and Ye Bin, asking if they would meet.
Jiang Xun was on the desk dealing with the loss books sent from all over the country to deal with the losses caused by the Hulan people, and the brush in his hand did not stop, and when he heard the report from the guards, he didn't raise his head and snorted lightly: "It's been more than ten days before I know how to report, I thought that he Liu Ce didn't take my boss seriously, and the Shu people really don't know how to be polite, let them come in, I want to see what to say." ”
Not long after the guards retreated, Qin Mo and Ye Bin stepped into the hall of the Governor's Mansion, and when they saw Jiang Xunbian, they all knelt down and arched their hands: "Commander Liu of the Jingwei Battalion has sent Shi Qin Mo (Ye Bin), the head of the sect, to meet the Governor." ”
Jiang Xun closed the above book and put the pen lightly on the edge of the inkstone, raised his eyes, and saw that the two kneeling were neatly dressed and dignified, not as vulgar as the Shu soldiers in his impression, so he couldn't help nodding secretly and said, "Get up and talk." ”
After the two of them got up, Qin Mo handed over the report document for the arrival of the Jingwei Battalion in his hand: "Your Excellency the Governor of Qiqi, all the 5,728 soldiers of the Jingwei Battalion have been stationed in Hanling City, and a total of 19,283 people, including the families of the soldiers and craftsmen who have migrated from Heyuan, have also been properly arranged!" Your Excellency the Governor will inspect it. ”
Jiang Xun took the document handed over by Qin Mo, opened it and looked at it a few times, then put it on the table and looked up at Qin Mo, always feeling that he was a little familiar, so he asked, "Forgive me for being clumsy, have you and I seen it somewhere?" ”
Qin Mo said: "My lord, I still remember the sponsor of the Righteous Army six years ago, Qin Mo is the lower official. ”
Jiang Xun's eyes lit up, he suddenly thought about it, and said to Qin Mo: "No wonder I see you so familiar, it turns out that you are the son of Qin Yan of the Qin family, that is, a member of the scholar clan, so let's sit down and talk." ”
Qin Mo said with a smile: "Lord Governor, I have been expelled from the family for many years, and now I am a member of the Shu clan, so I don't dare to sit down......"
Jiang Xun's face couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt: "Qin Mo, don't blame me back then, this is the will of the imperial court, not the intention of the governor, and the governor can only act according to the order, in a few days, I will repair a copy of the book and give it to your father, and I will definitely let you return to the gate of the Shi clan." ”
Qin Mo said: "Don't worry about the governor, Mo has traveled all over the world over the years, and his temperament has long been wild, I am afraid that he will not be able to adapt to so much red tape in Shimen, and he will not be concerned about returning to Shimen for a long time." ”
Jiang Xun sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then put this matter aside for the time being, Qin Mo, you sit down and talk first." ”
Then he looked at Ye Bin who was standing in the hall and said, "Who is this?"
Qin Mo said: "This is Ye Bin, the eldest son of Ye Ren, who has been accompanied by Brother Ye to travel the world with me in the past few years, and has become a confidant. ”
Ye Bin bowed to Jiang Xun and said, "Ye Bin has seen the Governor. ”
Jiang Xun nodded and said, "I don't want to be a member of the Ye family in Dingzhou, it's good, you all sit down and talk, you don't have to be formal, serve tea." ”
After the three of them were seated, several people brought tea and pastries, and after a polite meeting, they entered the formal topic.
Jiang Xun stroked the shiny beard on his chin, and said slowly: "Please forgive the governor for being rude, why are you willing to stoop to the Shu army?" Don't you know that this is a humiliation to the family? ”
Qin Mo said: "Your Excellency, Mo has been traveling the world for six years, but do you still remember what I said to the Governor when I left?" ”
Jiang Xun pondered for a long time and said: "Naturally, I remember that day, you said that you would bring back an elite when you stepped into the Far East again, but ...... That Jingwei Battalion...... Hehe......" Speaking of this, Jiang Xun shook his head and smiled, which obviously meant that he had no hope at all for this army.
Qin Mo and Ye Bin glanced at each other and sneered secretly, this governor's prejudice against the Shu clan was deep-rooted, and he had not even seen the face of the Jingwei Camp to make this conclusion.
Qin Mo said: "My lord, Mo has been in the Jingwei camp for a long time, and Commander Liu has made this Jingwei camp in the hands of your lord is not unusual. ”
Jiang Xun said: "How unusual?"
Qin Mo said: "Gaoyang fell, the officials and troops of Ganzhou were all withdrawn, the thieves were raging, only Liu commanded the Jingwei battalion, and the Ganzhou territory was defeated by tens of thousands of thieves when the thieves were conquered for half a year, and more importantly, ......"
Qin Mo paused when he said this, looked at Jiang Xun's inquiring eyes and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Li Suwen burned millions of thieves, but he doesn't know that Liu Cebing is bloodless to capture Gaoyang. ”
Jiang Xun laughed softly when he heard this: "Mr. Qin said that he laughed, wasn't this Gao Yang laid down by Li Suwen?" What does it have to do with him Liu Ce? I may be able to believe what you said before, but everyone in Gaoyang City knows that it was Li Suwen who led the Thunder Army to recover, Qin Mo, as the commander of the Jingwei Battalion, Shi spoke for Liu Ce, and this governor understands it, but you can't talk about it because of this. ”
After hearing this, Qin Mo didn't say anything anymore, just shook his head slightly, feeling worthless for Liu Ce. The strategy of recovering Gaoyang that day was indeed in his own hands, but the executor was Liu Ce, this process was extremely dangerous, in the final analysis, it was necessary to have a very accurate grasp of the psychology of the enemy and me in order to succeed, otherwise one mistake would lead to a loss of the whole game, and even the end of the body in a different place.
But Liu Ce knew the danger for the future of the Jingwei Battalion, but he still gave it away, and after recovering Gaoyang, he gave the credit to Li Suwen, but he was willing to hide behind the scenes, how much courage and open-mindedness does this take? Now the whole world knows the name of Li Suwen, but how can anyone remember what kind of efforts an ordinary Shu soldier made for the entire people of Ganzhou?
Seeing Qin Mo's frowning, Ye Bin pondered for a moment, and said to Jiang Xun with a smile: "My lord, today we just sent a report book for the general, and purchased some materials to go back to build the town. ”
Ye Bin and Qin Mo got up to say goodbye as he spoke, only to hear Jiang Xun say: "The two of you are not in a hurry to leave, by the way, why didn't Captain Liu come in person?"
Qin Mo said: "Commander Liu has just taken office, and he is busy with many things, and he is now patrolling the fort manor, so he can't take time to come to meet the governor, and he also asks Haihan." ”
Jiang Xun nodded and said: "It's good that he Liu Ce has this heart, you wait until you go back and urge him to step up the repair of the city wall and fortress, at the latest September, the Hulan people will go south again, this governor really doesn't want to see many people humiliated again." ”
As soon as he heard the Hulan people, Qin Mo's eyes showed a thorough coldness, and he replied firmly: "My lord, please rest assured, the Hulan people...... He didn't dare to come to the Han Tomb! ”
Jiang Xun listened to Qin Mo's intriguing words, and after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't understand the meaning, only when Qin Mo listened to his words, he would go back and step up his efforts to urge Liu Ce to repair the fortifications.
"Then my lord, I'll leave for the time being." Qin Mo and Ye Bin clasped their fists and saluted together, wanting to leave.
"Wait." Jiang Xun suddenly stopped them.
Qin Mo replied, "What else do you have to say?"
Jiang Xun got up and came to Ye Bin, looking slightly embarrassed and said, "I have a personal matter, please ask the Ye family's son for help." ”
Ye Bin said: "My lord, just give orders." ”
Jiang Xun sighed and said, "I heard that Ye Gongzi is quite familiar with medical techniques and pharmacology, and I would like you to treat the little girl." ”
Ye Bin and Qin Mo glanced at each other, and then said, "What disease does Miss Jiang have?" ”
"This ......" Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment and slowly explained Jiang Ruoyan's situation.
In the past few days, seeing that his beloved daughter tea doesn't want to eat, she is in a daze all day long, and her body is also a lot haggard, Jiang Xun is very heartbroken, and he has invited many doctors to diagnose and treat him to no effect, and he can't say any symptoms, which makes him anxious.
After hearing this, Ye Bin said: "My lord, please forgive the officials for taking the liberty, can you meet Miss Jiang, and you can prescribe the right medicine?"
Jiang Xun thought for a long time and said to the two, "Come with me." ”
As he spoke, he walked towards the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, and Qin Mo and Ye Bin also followed behind Jiang Xun.
"Two, the little girl's room is in front, Ye Gongzi, I'm tired." Coming to the door of a beautiful courtyard, Jiang Xun pointed to his daughter's boudoir opposite and said to Qin Mo and Ye Bin.
Ye Bin nodded, and was about to enter the room, Qin Mo said to Jiang Xun: "My lord, this is Ling Yan's boudoir, and it is still inconvenient for the lower officials to step in, so you can lead Brother Ye in." ”
Jiang Xun was very satisfied with Qin Mo's etiquette in place, and secretly said that Qin Mo was a gentleman among the people, and he was also heroic, and he didn't want to be as good as ever after so many years, but unfortunately he was already married, otherwise he was a candidate to consider, thinking of this and said: "It's okay, Jiang Mou admires Qin Gongzi's personality very much, why don't you go in and take a look, the little girl also admires the heroic deeds on weekdays, the two have traveled the world and have seen a lot, maybe it can make the little girl feel at peace." ”
Jiang Xun's words did not have any official pretenses, and even his surname was commensurate with Qin Mo, which is enough to show that he is a good and sophisticated person, and the Jiang family can stand on the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years, and he has his own unique means.
Seeing Jiang Xun say this, Qin Mo no longer shirked, and slowly stepped into the gate of Jiang Ruoyan's courtyard under the leadership of Jiang Xun with Ye Bin......
