At present, there is a large dark cloud hanging over the South Ridge, and it is getting thicker and thicker, everyone thinks that it is going to rain, but it is a pity that it is always dry and thundering. Everyone watched with amazement, fearing that the cloud would suddenly deviate from direction and drop hail elsewhere. Fortunately, so far, everything has been expected. Seeing that cloud was finally going to rain, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The news of South Vietnam changes three times a day, but the distance is not far, but the road is not easy to walk. Except for Ying Guangji, who was in South Vietnam, and Su Ren, who had a special method to send news, everyone else got the news of Panyu two days ago.

Yan Zhu took a few bamboo slips, walked back and forth in the house, and turned his head to look out of the door from time to time: "Are people here?" Send someone to urge again! ”

The housekeeper hurriedly agreed and trotted out of the courtyard gate. After staying in the Yan family for so many years, there are not many times when the master is so impatient. When the Seven Kings Rebellion was waiting for the final news, Yan Zhu was in this state today. I don't know what happened to me today, and I look even more impatient than last time.

Su Ren staggered and rode on a white horse, and walked slowly and leisurely towards the Taishou Mansion. The small traders on the roadside were unaware of what was happening hundreds of miles away, and still shouted at their wares. Huiji is located in a remote area, and the people are poor, and the things sold by small merchants are nothing more than bits and pieces, and there are not even a few people who sell food.

While walking, Su Ren sighed: "What is the most famous food in this meeting?" ”

Huang Shisan shook his head: "I haven't heard that people here can't even eat enough, so how can they have time to cook exquisite food!" ”

Su Ren nodded: "Well, that's a good thing, it's true, only when you are full and warm, you have time to do something else, if you can't eat enough, you can find a bite to eat and swallow it, who cares what it tastes like." ”

There are only two main streets in the north and south of Huiji City, the Taishou Mansion is in the north, the Duwei Mansion is in the south, and the Changshi Mansion is where Su Ren temporarily lives, just a little east in the middle. As soon as he turned onto the main street, he saw Huang Qi coming over with a vigorous attitude under the escort of more than a dozen soldiers. Su Ren touched the belly of the white horse with his left foot, and the white horse consciously turned to the side of the road. Although there are no chickens and dogs jumping on the streets, those pedestrians and small traders are also avoiding them again and again.

"Su Changshi, is it so coincidental?" When Huang Qi saw Su Ren, he greeted him from afar.

Su Ren bowed his hand on the horse: "Yes! Too Shou recruits, and General Huang also goes to Taishou Mansion? ”

Huang Qi nodded: "Yes!" Recently, the Yue people have been unstable, and the old man has just come back, so Taishou sent someone to look for him, and he came over. ”

"Oh? What is the change in the Yue people? Su Ren showed an attitude of humbly seeking advice: "The safety of Huiji is concentrated in the old general, leading the troops outside, sleeping in the open, and the old general can take care of himself." ”

"Hahaha......" Huang Qi laughed, touched his chest twice, and the armor made a thumping sound: "Although the old man is over fifty years old, he can also ride a horse and shoot arrows!" ”

"The old general is mighty, and Lian Po is nothing more than that!"

Huang Qi laughed louder, pointed at Su Ren and said: "You kid speaks well, no wonder your majesty appreciated you at a young age, and let you make a long history." ”

Su Ren also laughed along: "It's not all Taishou and General Huang Lao, you don't have to worry about anything when you come here, General Huang Lao is guarding outside, Taishou is sitting in the city, boy, I am a blessed person." ”

Huang Qi was slapped by Su Ren's sycophancy, and the two entered North Street talking and laughing. The housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion hurriedly ran over and saluted the two who were talking: "Two gentlemen, hurry up!" My master is dying! ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "The villain doesn't know, looking at the appearance of the Taishou should be a big deal." ”

Huang Qi looked at Su Ren, and Su Ren shook his head slightly. Huang Qi said: "Except for the Yue people's affairs, there is nothing else, could it be that the Yue people have started?" ”

Since Taishou had already sent someone to urge, naturally he couldn't delay any longer, and the two of them rode straight to Taishou's mansion. Yan Zhu saw the two of them and quickly came out of the house: "You guys are finally here, hurry up, it's already tense on the South Vietnamese side, do we have to do something?" How can I say that Nanyue is also a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and if its chaos is even affected, the court will blame it......"

Huang Qi interrupted Yan Zhu: "When has this happened, still saying such things!" It is only a matter of time before the Vietnamese people have civil strife, and the plan for today is to open the treasury, distribute grain, grass and ordnance, and make preparations as soon as possible! ”

"Open the treasury?" Yan Zhu was vigilant.

"That's right! Open the treasury and prepare early, if you wait until the Yue people come, it will be too late! Huang Qi looked at Su Ren: "Su Changshi, what do you say?" ”

"Uh......!" Su Ren dragged out a long tone.

Yan Zhu glanced at Huang Qi: "Although the Yue rebellion may affect Huiji, this matter is just a possibility, besides, the Yue rebellion has not yet begun, open the treasury at this time, if the Yue people are not chaotic, will Huang Duwei return the grain, grass and ordnance that he took out?" ”

"How can there be any reason to return what has been distributed? The county soldiers are the barrier of our association, if you are too stubborn and insistent, there will be no one to use at the end of the matter, then it will be too late to regret it, the money, food and ordnance can be gone, if the military heart is lost, it will be in danger! ”

"There are 10,000 county soldiers and tens of thousands of private soldiers, can't even such a small city be protected? Huang Duwei, you have always been responsible for the county soldiers, if there will be mistakes, you are asking! ”

"You!"

As the saying goes, officials crush people to death. One is the Huiji Taishou, and the other is the Huiji Duwei. In terms of level, Yan Zhu pressed Huang Qi's head, so Yan Zhu spoke confidently, although Huang Qi has military power, the theory is that it belongs to Yan Zhu's jurisdiction, and many words are not easy to say, so he can only be choked to death by Yan Zhu.

Huang Qi saw that he couldn't say Yan Zhu, so he immediately turned his head to Su Ren and said: "Su Changshi, you are a witness, Taishou is obviously going to cut off the Huiji, but it depends on my head, how can the county soldiers have no food, grass and ordnance if they want to fight?" It's just that if you don't give it too much, you have to make us fight to the death, how can there be such a thing in this world? ”

Su Ren smiled.

Without waiting for Su Ren to speak, Yan Zhu pointed the finger at Su Ren again: "Su Changshi, you are the chief inspector of the meeting personally appointed by His Majesty, and it is also your business to quell the rebellion in Yuedi, what can you do about this matter?" ”

"Uh......, this matter is a big deal, and there is no good way to do it in the next hour and a half, so I can only wait and see!"

"Look? Look at the Yue people again, and you'll be in front of you! Huang Qi was a little angry when he saw that Su Ren didn't help him.

Yan Zhu nodded with satisfaction: "Su Changshi is right, there must be no chaos among the Yue people at this time, even if it is chaos, there is still some distance from Nanyue to Huiji, and it will not come so quickly, and the rebellion of the Yue people is not once or twice, each time it can be quickly quelled, this time it may not be impossible." ”

"It's too bad!" Su Ren was finally ready to speak, and clasped his fists at Yan Zhu and saluted: "We don't know when the Yue Ren Rebellion will start, and we don't know when it will end, and we naturally don't know how chaotic it will be, so it's still necessary to make some preparations." ”

"That's right! I'll just say that Su Changshi won't be so short-sighted! Huang Qi came to the spirit, and deliberately used words to squeeze Yan Zhu.

Yan Zhu's face was a little green: "What does Su Changshi mean?" ”

Su Ren said: "The wind is loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and it is good to take precautions!" The rebellion of the Vietnamese people is imminent, it is not a question of whether it can break out, but when it will break out, in case it spreads rapidly after the outbreak, as the border county closest to the Yue people, we have to do something, lest the rebellion of the Yue people really spread, and we lose our proportion. ”

"How do you plan ahead?"

Su Ren said with a smile: "First of all, send troops to guard the main road of the meeting and do it the most secure; Secondly, be prepared to welcome the Vietnamese refugees, set up porridge farms in various places, prepare water and dry food along the way, and at the same time have the ability to digest these Vietnamese people; In the end, the head of a county is Taishou, General Huang is in charge of the army, responsible for the resettlement of refugees, and he can help in the next few suggestions, I don't know what the two of them think about these suggestions? ”

Yan Zhu and Huang Qi both frowned, thinking about Su Ren's plan in their minds, and at the same time calculating what role they would play in this matter and whether their interests would be lost. The long exam is the most uncomfortable, Yan Zhu and Huang Qi have been fighting for 20 years, and with one look at each other, they can understand what to pull.

Yan Zhu glanced at Huang Qi and did not speak. Huang Qi first began to complain: "The county soldiers are to guard the safety of a county, and it is understandable to be stationed in the border areas to guard against the Yue people, but there is not enough food and grass and the ordnance is not in order, even if they go to the border areas, what can they do?" What's more, we only have 10,000 soldiers, and the border with the Yue people is not more than 100 miles, and people will definitely not be able to guard against this. ”

"According to what Su Changshi said, it is better to open the treasury and merge the private sector into the county soldiers, so that the general can encourage it to try, if the Taishou still grasps the grain and grass and does not let go, the army has no fighting spirit, the equipment is insufficient, the soldiers are not enough, no one can stop the crazy Yue people!"

"Open the treasury, open the treasury! If you open the treasury, will you be able to destroy the Yue people? Yan Zhu was very angry: "Don't think I don't know, I will kill the soldiers of the county clearly 10,000, but in fact ......"

"Taishou!" Su Ren hurriedly interrupted Yan Zhu: "The matter of grain and grass can be solved in the future, and there are some armors, all of which will be sent to Huang Duwei, and the treasury cannot be opened for the time being, and when a large number of Vietnamese refugees come to Huiji, it will be the most expensive place, and it will not be too late to talk about it, what do you think?" ”

Yan Zhu snorted coldly, and Huang Qi was extremely happy. This is the best and most compromise method, not only did not open the treasury, Huang Qi also got grain, grass, and armor, which can be said to be a great joy. Huang Qi took Su Ren's hand: "Su Changshi is capable, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, the old man will not let a Yue person enter the meeting!" ”

Su Ren said: "It's not that a Yue person is not allowed to enter Huiji, but not a Yue soldier is allowed to enter Huiji, and the newly built Huiji City still needs Yue refugees to help repair it!" ”

"Hahaha...... you kid is shrewd!"

The two talked and laughed happily, and they didn't care about Yan Suke's mood at this time. While he was talking, the housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion hurriedly came in, almost tripped over the threshold, and staggered to hand a piece of silk to Yan Zhu. Yan Zhu only glanced at it, and the whole person almost collapsed on the cushion: "It's started!" ”
