Chapter Ninety-Nine: Zhang Bin's mind is restless
Late August 311 A.D
After Shi Le defeated and captured Xun Xi in Mengcheng, he began to advance in the direction of Chenliu, in the words of the military advisor Zhang Bin, while making a detour to the vicinity of Luoyang, planning and preparing for the next move, while observing whether the Han State would have further operational instructions or any sudden opportunities......
Zhang Bin constantly ordered to send patrol cavalry, scouts and spies everywhere, according to Zhang Bin's orders, even the slightest unusual thing must be reported to the gentleman's camp in every detail, even if the ants in the grass fight, it must be reported......
On the way to the march, Shile's army continued to attack and co-opt large and small dock forts (mostly choose places suitable for defense and agriculture that have both mountains and forests, and can be used for farming. It is more common to take the form of blood and region, with the clan and the township as a link of reunion. The family or local tycoon is the master of the dock, or the suzerain. They organized local separatist forces based on clan and township relations, and the controlled clan villagers were actually the personal subordinates of the dock master. In addition, there are also dock walls that appear in the form of gatherings of displaced people, and the owners of the dock are all appointed by the talented or relatively powerful clan power of the displaced people. Dock forts are prevalent mainly in the northern regions. The rulers of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Northern Wei Dynasty were often given official positions according to the strength of the dock owners, and the large and small dock walls became the governing places of local political power institutions at all levels. In the early period of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the suzerain's supervision and protection system was implemented, which more fully recognized the legal status of the suzerains and the large and small docks under their control. Emperor Wei Xiaowen implemented the three-chief system, and the three-chief replaced the suzerain; Local grassroots organizations such as neighborhoods, neighborhoods, and party organizations have also replaced large and small dock organizations. After the Tang Dynasty, the dock wall turned into decline, but it was not eradicated. These large and small dock forts not only have a strong labor force but also a lot of food and materials, which is the best source of replenishment of soldiers and materials. Through such a slow accumulation, not only can the war be nourished by war, but also the combat effectiveness and morale of the army can be maintained, and it has to be said that Zhang Bin's strategy is very successful.
At night, Shi Le and Zhang Bin roasted in front of the fire, Shi Le rarely had the leisure to bake and eat by himself, that focused look, so that the Zhixiong on the side, Kui An both recalled the past life in Chiping Ranch, Zhixiong (Wang Yang, Kui'an, Zhixiong, Ji Bao, Wu Yu, Liu Ying, Tao Leopard, Lu Ming and other eight horsemen for the group of thieves; Then Guo Ao, Liu Zheng, Liu Bao, Zhang Yufu, Hu Yanmo, Guo Heiluo, Zhang Yue, Peacock, Zhao Lu, Zhiqu Liu, and other ten people also came to defect, known as the Eighteen Horsemen. Today I came to Shile as a grain officer to return to my life, as one of the first eight horsemen, the relationship between him and Kui An is also very good, there are talking and laughing, only Zhang Bin on the side is frowning for some reason, I don't know what I am thinking......
Kui An is also a thoughtful person, chatting with Zhixiong about the interesting things of the year while also paying attention to Zhang Bin's strangeness. In Kui An's heart, this Han man really has too many things that surprise him, whether it is governing the army or managing internal affairs, he admires him, so as long as Zhang Bin's every move, Kui An pays close attention to learning.
Zhixiong really wants to talk to Kui An, but he thinks that Kui An is a bit of an ape!
Zhixiong said unhappily: "Xiao Anzi, you son of a bitch, what do you look at when you drink wine and stare at other men!" Is there something more energetic on the face of a military advisor than a woman?? ”
Zhixiong's words suddenly embarrassed Kui An, but fortunately it was night, Kui An could still laugh and laugh by the firelight, but in his heart, he scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Zhixiong, the old bastard.
Shi Le was also amused by Zhixiong's words, and his bold laughter eased Kui'an's embarrassing situation.
Zhang Bin also came back to his senses from thinking, this time he really shouldn't be distracted, but I don't know why Zhang Bin has always had a strange sense of foreboding, but he can't get it, so he has been a little in a trance recently, if the big war is imminent, this is a big mistake......
Now being laughed and scolded by Zhixiong, everyone's atmosphere is a lot more harmonious, Zhang Bin's mood is also a lot soothed, and everyone laughed together, Kui An is very clear about his attention, and even sometimes he will intentionally or unintentionally point him out, Kui An, the Hu people, is indeed different from other Hu people, willing to learn Han culture, and can learn fine, and even often has his own unique opinions, Zhang Bin will also take his attention as a kind of supervision, so that he is always vigilant, do not make mistakes, Now that he can see Kui An so embarrassed, Zhang Bin does not have a little schadenfreude in his heart.
For a while, beside the fire, the usual slight estrangement between everyone seemed to have faded a lot, and the Shi Le at this time was still the Shi Le in the pasture, which was the common feeling of Kui An and Zhixiong, and the Shi Le who was usually in front of everyone made people feel extremely cordial at this moment.
Shi Le handed the freshly baked food in his hand to Zhang Bin and chuckled, "What else can make our Meng Sun worry like this?" Haha".
Kui An and Zhi Xiong also looked at each other and smiled, indeed, I really haven't seen Zhang Bin so sad, this strategist who dares to talk about the world while catching lice in front of Shi Le, there is such a heavy time today, which is indeed a little surprising.
Zhang Bin took the food handed over by Shi Le, and after smelling it, he only felt the fragrant fragrance, and suddenly his appetite was opened, and he was not polite, he chewed it and praised it: "Well! Delicious! ”
Zhixiong saw Zhang Bin's vigorous eating, saliva flowed out, and said loudly: "Strategist, don't you know, when you were in the pasture, the lord made that whole sheep delicious!" ”
Zhang Bin said curiously: "Oh? “
"Well, when did not eat, the lord took us to steal the sheep in other people's pastures to eat, because the hunger was really bad, we didn't go far to make a fire to roast the sheep to eat, I didn't expect others to catch up so quickly, the lord was afraid that the other party would find evidence and threw the sheep into the fire pit, buried the soil outside, and then quickly evacuated, and then quickly evacuated, and when the sheep was taken out, I found that the sheep buried in the kang was already suffocated, and the taste was really wonderful! Hahaha, I really want to eat it again! ”
Shi Le was also a little yearning for what Zhixiong said, that sheep was indeed very delicious, and this erroneous cooking method was so evocative.
Kui An was also one of the participants in this incident back then, and when he saw that Shile was also stuck in memories, he felt as if he had returned to the past.
Zhang Bin shuddered by Zhixiong's words, and blurted out: "Zhixiong, how did you say that the lord dealt with that sheep at that time?" Buried? How is it buried?? Say it quickly, tell it in detail! ”
Shi Le, Kui An and Zhixiong were all a little stunned by Zhang Bin's sudden question, the original good atmosphere was gone, Shi Le was also a little dissatisfied, after taking a look at Zhixiong and Kui An, his eyes locked on Zhang Bin, today's Zhang Bin is really abnormal.
Zhang Bin completely ignored the reactions of Shi Le and the other two, and continued to ask: "Zhixiong, say it quickly, this matter is very important, don't hide it in the slightest!" ”
Zhixiong looked at Shi Le, and then looked at Kui'an, I really don't know what happened to the military advisor today, isn't it just eating a sheep? How did you get so nervous......
Shi Le raised his hand at Zhixiong, signaling him not to make a sound, and then said to Zhang Bin: "Meng Sun, after so much time, Zhixiong may not remember it clearly, let me tell me, after all, I was in a hurry at that time."
Zhang Bin's gaze locked on Shi Le, nodded, and waited for Shi Le's explanation.
Shi Le was really a little speechless by Zhang Bin's rudeness, but Shi Le saw that Zhang Bin was so serious, or patiently explained carefully: "We only use horses on the road, so we have a set of ways to perceive the chasing soldiers, such as putting the ear on the ground, you can feel the subtle vibration of the ground, to judge whether there are chasing soldiers, and I was indeed hungry that day, so I didn't go far and began to make a fire to barbecue, when I found that there were chasing soldiers, I threw the whole sheep without hair into the dug fire pit, the fire in the fire pit was very strong, I was afraid of revealing clues, So we dug the earth and buried the fire pit with the sheep, and when we came back, the sheep was not only ripe, but also the wool had faded by itself, which was very delicious, Mengsun, why are you so concerned about this matter??? ”
Zhang Bin listened carefully to Shi Le's explanation, and at the same time he was also thinking about it, only to hear Zhang Bin say as if he was talking to himself: "Dig a pit and bury the sheep whole...... Yes! I know, I finally know why I've been in a trance lately! ”
Zhang Bin's words stunned everyone at once, what is this!
Shi Le also asked with a puzzled look: "Mengsun, what does this mean?" ”
Kui An and Zhixiong are also general ideas.
Zhang Bin seemed to have regained his previous calmness, smiling silently, but looking at everyone and grinning.
Shi Le said in his heart: Could it be that the long-term march has exhausted my military advisor?
Zhang Bin didn't know what Shi Le was thinking now, he just smiled at Zhixiong.
Zhixiong's old face turned red when Zhang Bin looked at him, and blurted out: "Military advisor, I don't ...... old bear."
As soon as Kui An heard Zhixiong's words, he squirted out a sip of wine on the spot......
Shi Le also shook his head secretly, what the hell is this Zhang Bin today, it's really not like words!
Zhang Bin didn't seem to notice everyone's reaction, nor did he hear Zhixiong's words, but got up and bowed solemnly to Zhixiong, and then said to Shi Le: "The lord must greatly reward General Zhi!" ”
Shi Le was stunned by what Zhang Bin said......
Zhixiong is even more confused by the second monk......
Kui An is also a little stupid, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Zhang Bin's gourd, how can I say that one is one out, and there is no rule to follow at all?
Zhang Bin looked at everyone's reactions, but laughed out loud.
Shi Le, Kui An and Zhi Xiong, now suddenly have a common idea, that is, to go up and beat Zhang Bin, the military advisor seems to be a real magic barrier......
