It's another good day, and the mood of people with good weather is good. After breakfast, Su Ren first tasted a pot of tea in the courtyard, and then stood up energetically. Li Danghu, Gongsun He and Wei Qing appeared in front of Su Ren at the same time, Li Danghu's face was embarrassed, Wei Qing lowered his head and said nothing, Gongsun He, who had always loved to chatter, turned his head to look at himself left and right.

"Look at the two of you!" Gongsun He glanced at Li Danghu and Wei Qing with disdain: "It's not a shameful thing, you don't say it." ”

Su Ren looked at the three of them with a smile, these people followed him from Chang'an to Huiji, and they worked hard and complained along the way, and they had never been so pretentious as they are now. Li Danghu is upright, and Wei Qing can't lie. Su Ren didn't speak, waiting for the three of them to speak.

"Do you really want to use troops against the Vietnamese in half a year?" Gongsun He asked.

Su Ren nodded: "Yes, what is your opinion?" ”

"No opinion, just ask you, what kind of soldiers are the three of us leading? If it's still the 200 guards who came with us, then forget it! If there are other soldiers and horses, do you have to let us see them, lest we not be able to command them when we get them? ”

"And what soldiers do you want to lead? The forbidden army in Chang'an, or the southern army or the northern army? ”

Gongsun He waved his hand: "Don't talk this nonsense, to tell you the truth, if the three of us don't pick, we will kill the soldiers, don't they have 10,000?" We have two thousand each, leave four thousand for them, and when the Yue people are destroyed, I will take the lead, how about it? ”

"Do you like all the county soldiers?"

"Hey! What can be done if you can't look at it? There is nothing else in this place except these people, I can only pick the short one, I knew that I would have asked the old man to send me more people, why bother to look at other people's faces now. ”

Li Danghu frowned: "We have Your Majesty's holy decree, and it is also the intention of the imperial court to dispatch Huiji County soldiers to quell the chaos, and he Huang Qi doesn't dare to make an obstacle from it, right?" ”

Su Ren smiled: "Doctor Li has no confidence in speaking, which means that this Huang Qi will definitely not hand over the person happily, and the matter of leading the troops is the most difficult to do among all things." ”

"Then let's recruit troops! I still don't believe it, such a big county can't recruit 10,000 soldiers? Gongsun He patted his chest: "We now have grain, grass and armor, why bother to be cheap Huang Qi and Yan Zhu, our brothers wiped out the Yue people, and the credit is ours." ”

Wei Qing shook his head: "It's not that simple, will there be so many people in Huiji County who are willing to join the army, don't say first, if we recruit troops, Huang Qi will definitely not be willing, the holy decree is written to let the Huiji County soldiers fight, but it is not written to let us recruit troops, if this matter is played in the imperial history, Brother Su will be responsible, and we must all follow Brother Su to Huiji." ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?" Gongsun He turned his head to look at Su Ren. Li Danghu and Wei Qing also looked at Su Ren, waiting for Su Ren to figure out a way.

Su Ren drank the water in the teacup, got up and flicked his clothes, straightened his crown, and left the table and walked out of the door. The three of them saw that Su Ren was about to go out, and Gongsun He hurriedly shouted, "Why did you leave?" Before you say anything, where are you going? ”

"Looking for Huang Qi!"

"What are you looking for him?"

"Aren't you going to lead the troops? I asked him for an errand for you, why don't you want to lead the troops? ”

"It's not! If you want him, give it? ”

"He will definitely not agree to the captain of 2,000 people, it is possible to be a Sima or a horse, and it will never be a problem to give a captain or a captain!"

"What? Wu Chang, what is the chief? Thanks to what you said, I can't look down on just a few people! ”

Su Ren rolled his eyes and glared at Gongsun He: "This is what you said, I won't go yet, it's a long history, and this face is also valuable." ”

Li Danghu hurriedly grabbed Su Ren: "Don't don't, don't be, do you mean to be a Sima or a horseman?" ”

Su Ren nodded. Li Danghu gritted his teeth: "I'll go!" ”

"I'll go too!" Wei Qing immediately complied.

Gongsun He stood up suspiciously, and pointed at Li Danghu and Wei Qing: "You two are crazy, what is the dignified Taizhong doctor doing Sima and Qidu, if it is transmitted back to Chang'an, you don't feel blushing, I still blush, if you want to go, I won't go to death." ”

Li Danghu said: "It's just right, all the two hundred guards we brought will be handed over to you, just leave me ten, and the safety of the Changshi Mansion will be free from the Gongsun Gongzi." ”

"Are you really going to be a rider or a horse?"

Li Danghu nodded solemnly. Wei Qing patted Gongsun He on the shoulder: "Although the cavalry can only lead five hundred soldiers, Sima is only eight hundred, that is also hundreds of soldiers and horses, and it is also a force at the critical moment, as long as we control these people, we will have a foothold in the Huiji County soldiers, and we will be able to speak in the face of the Yue people in the future." ”

Gongsun He looked at Wei Qing: "Usually you don't say a word, there are so many twists and turns hidden in your stomach, anyway, I don't look down on Sima and Qidu, you can go if you want to, if you can really affect the soldiers of Huiji County, it is also a good thing." ”

Li Danghu dragged Su Ren out of the door and stuffed him into the carriage, and ran towards the Governor's Mansion. Before coming to Huiji, Su Ren said to Liu Che that dealing with the Yue people was a military training, so Liu Che stuffed all the people around him who could handle it into Su Ren's hands. He just wanted to see if these cronies he was optimistic about could show the qualities that the emperor needed in dealing with the Yue people.

Gongsun He chose the safest method, no matter whether the battle in front of Huiji was won or lost, as long as he stuck to Huiji, it was also a great achievement. Li Danghu and Wei Qing had a more long-term vision, they saw Liu Che's determination, as long as they could lead the troops to destroy the Yue people, they would be able to lead the troops immediately when they returned to Chang'an, and they would go to the northern battlefield in the future and make meritorious contributions.

Everyone has their own plans, and Su Ren can't say whose choice is right. First, he will not charge forward with arrows and stones; Secondly, he will not be jealous of these people who are inextricably linked to Liu Che, as long as he stays in Huiji for a few years, as long as Yue Ren does not capture Huiji, he will work hard even if he has no merit.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and after Hawking stepped forward to report, someone went in to report. Su Ren was still muttering with a dark face, Wei Qing said with a smile: "This is a state matter, Brother Su will be reluctant to make it difficult, don't take Gongsun He's words to heart, as long as the Yue people are eliminated, Brother Su will naturally have the greatest credit for being the commander, and Your Majesty will give more rewards." ”

"The reward is good! But you still pray that Huang Qi can agree, otherwise don't talk about Sima and Qidu, I'm afraid I won't even have a share, this time I will beg with this face, I don't know what price Huang Qi will offer, if it is too high, you two will have to compensate me. ”

Li Danghu glared at Su Ren: "Why do you always associate things with interests, I don't believe that Huang Qi dares to disobey the holy decree?" ”

"Huh! Look! The emperor is far away, what can he do if he doesn't listen? This is Huiji, not Chang'an! ”

Several people were still arguing, but Huang Qi personally greeted him, with a smile on his face, and he was extremely excited to see Su Renxian. The last 10,000 stone grain and grass had already made Huang Qi taste the sweetness, no matter what Su Ren wanted to do this time, as long as he loosened his mouth a little, it shouldn't be a problem to get another 10,000 stones.

Entering the lobby, the guests and hosts were seated. Huang Qi had already ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and said to Su Ren with a wine glass: "After Xiao'er took someone to Shaping, he didn't cause trouble for Su Changshi, right?" This kid knows that he has been spoiled since he was a child. ”

Su Ren said with a smile: "The old general is modest, Huang Gongzi is conscientious and conscientious in Shaping, and has captured several groups of spies from the Yue people, and I also saw it when I went to Shaping a few days ago. ”

"Hahaha......" Huang Qi laughed: "It's good if you don't cause trouble, come on, drink!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, Su Ren put down his wine glass, turned his head to look at Li Danghu and Wei Qing, and said to Huang Qi with a smile: "I heard that the soldiers of Huiji County are brave and good at fighting, and I have admired them for a long time, and Dr. Li and Dr. Wei are also people who understand soldiers, and this time I came to Your Majesty to specially advise them to return to the command of General Huang to serve the country, I don't know ......."

Before Su Ren's words were finished, Huang Qi immediately raised his vigilance: "I don't know what official positions Your Majesty wants Dr. Li and Dr. Wei to have?" Why is it not in the Holy Decree? ”

Su Ren smiled: "This matter is just Your Majesty's casual words, and there is no meaning to force it, Dr. Li has followed General Li Guang for many years, and he is a partial general under General Li's account, His Majesty thinks that it should be no problem to be a captain, although Dr. Wei has not experienced the battle array, but he knows the art of war well, His Majesty feels that it is okay to be a Sima." ”

Huang Qi frowned: "Duwei and Sima? ”

"Exactly!" Su Ren said: "I also said it just now, it's just Your Majesty's proposal, General Huang can arrange it at his discretion, no matter what, as long as he can contribute to the country." ”

Huang Qi looked at Li Danghu who was eager to try and Wei Qing, who was silent, and then looked at Su Ren, who was smiling, and was silent for a long time. I don't know what I think in my heart, and I suddenly exhaled: "Since it is Your Majesty's intention, the subordinates should do their best, but the lieutenant of the county soldiers is full, in the old man's opinion, let Dr. Li be a Sima, and Dr. Wei be a cavalry, what does Su Changshi think?" ”

"This ......" Su Ren pretended to be very embarrassed and hesitated: "I have no opinion on this matter, but Your Majesty's words are not ......?"

Huang Qi said: "Although the old man is a lieutenant of the Huiji, how can he be a major general of the Huiji, Doctor Li and Doctor Wei are both talented generals, and they should have been ordered by His Majesty, but there is really no way to arrange it, and I ask Su Changshi to forgive me." ”

Su Ren turned his head to look at Li Danghu and Wei Qing, both of whom were also smart people, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Everything depends on Su Changshi and General Huang, we have no opinion." ”

"That's good, General Huang is already very good, I don't know how many difficulties I have suffered to squeeze out these two positions, then this matter will be done!" Su Ren slapped his thigh, got up and bowed his hand to Huang Qi, expressing his gratitude.

Huang Qi smiled slightly, and stroked his beard: "Your Majesty's will, how dare the old man slacken?" It's just that there is a lack of food and grass in this army, and last time, thanks to Su Changshi's allocation of 10,000 stones, he barely survived a few days, and for the sake of national affairs, the old man was worried that his hair was gray! ”

"This is really a problem, the big war is imminent, the lack of food and grass for the army is worrying, the old general asked, how much food and grass is needed, I must exhaust all my strength in the next and try to gather for the army."

"So good! Then there is a long history of Laosu, it doesn't take much, 30,000 stones are enough! ”
