Chapter 46: Little Calculations
"So...... Lord Assassin Shi is not going to raise an army? ”
Touching his chin, Han Yan looked at the person in front of him and said thoughtfully. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past few months, Han Yan has lived here in Kong Rong. After coming and going, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe also knew about Han Yan's existence, and he came to invite Han Yan to come over as a guest, but later gave up because Han Yan didn't agree. What came today is Chen Gong, a guest on the Qingzhou Thorn Mansion.
"Yes! Lord Thorn Shi can't make the trip because of his ill health, but considering the existence of the young master, at this time, the Lord is willing to give 5,000 soldiers to strengthen the king! ”
Chen Gong opened his mouth to speak, and he was not respectful at all for the thorn in his mouth, but when he looked at Han Yan, there was a trace of heat in his eyes from time to time.
"That's it!"
Nodding, Han Yan understood.
To put it bluntly, Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe didn't want to get involved in this matter. Although Qiao Mao sent a letter to various states and counties saying that the three dukes of Luoyang had a letter, everyone knew that it was fake, and it was just a name for everyone to start an incident. And Qingzhou Assassin Shi Jiaohe, want to be cautious, although he says that he owns Qingzhou, but he really has no talent for leading troops, and Jiao He is not too young, and it is not a contemptible thing for Mingzhe to protect himself.
Merely...... Who said they were going?
Smiling slightly, Han Yan immediately figured it out, waved his hand, and said: "Since this is the case, then thank you Lord Thorn Shi for your success, but in this way, although there are enough manpower, but the grain, grass and ordnance must be well prepared, so you can't resign to Lord Thorn Shi......"
"It's okay, it's okay! Master Assassin Shi has already said that the young master is running for the country, and there is no need to worry too much about the number of etiquette, just have a heart! In addition, the ordnance, grain, grass, and thorn Shi have also been prepared, if nothing else, it will definitely arrive within three days! Seeing that Han Yan agreed, Chen Gong took a deep breath and bowed solemnly, before he spoke: "Since the young master is interested, then Chen Gong has a reluctant request, I don't know if the young master can agree?" ”
"Hmmm! Sir, please speak! ”
In the face of Chen Gong's request, it was naturally impossible for Han Yan to tease You Heng like teasing Youheng, not only that, but Han Yan also straightened his expression and straightened his back.
"I want to go with the young master, I wonder if the young master can agree?"
Chen Gong's slightly thin face showed a touch of fortitude, obviously made up his mind.
"This ...... If the gentleman is interested, it would be great......"
After listening to Chen Gong's words, Han Yan's heart involuntarily trembled twice, and he took several deep breaths in a row before he could hold back the sadness in his heart.
"That being the case, then where is the current stabbing Lord Shi to return to his life, waiting for the coming day, Chen Gong will definitely come back with the grain, grass and ordnance!"
Although he didn't understand what Han Yan's hesitation was for, Chen Gong had already gotten what he wanted, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, and as soon as he gave up his hand, he got up and was about to leave.
"Sir, wait, wait for me to send Mr."
In the face of Chen Gong, such a 'man of action', Han Yan didn't say much, but this send-off was necessary, otherwise he wouldn't be able to show that he valued others.
"Young Master Xie!"
After thanking him, Chen Gong did not refuse, but there was a faint hint of excitement in his eyes.
Han Yan stood up, and it wasn't until he sent Chen Gong out of the mansion that he turned around and returned to his living room.
Looking at Hu Min and the others in the room, Han Yan shook his hand and sighed, "Alas! Broken! ”
"Huh? What does this mean, my lord? ”
Hu Min didn't understand Han Yan's actions, and hurriedly asked.
"What does that mean?" Repeating Hu Min's question, Han Yan's face showed a trace of bitterness, "Originally, I didn't plan to get involved in this matter, but this Chen Gongtai is making such a fuss, I can't do it if I don't agree......"
"Don't want to go? My lord, what's wrong with you? What a great opportunity! ”
In Sun Guan's view, this incident can be described as a great opportunity, if it is done well, it may be promoted several levels in a row, so Sun Guan is very incomprehensible about Han Yan's attitude.
"This incident is obviously caused by Qiao Mao, and although I have worked with Qiao Mao for a short time, I also know some about his person, and this matter must not be what he meant!"
Frowning, Han Yan recalled the time when he met Qiao Mao, in his memory, Qiao Mao was not such a reckless person, and now like this, the problem can be said to be big.
"Since you don't want to go, Childe, won't it be enough to refuse? Why bother? That's a ......."
Smacked his lips, but Huang Zhong didn't have so many taboos, as an 'old man' who had followed Han Yan for several years, there were some things that were most suitable for her.
"Hey! Why did the lord refuse? That's 5,000 men! And the ordnance, food, and grass, aren't they all what we need? How could Childe refuse such a big gift? ”
Smiling slightly, Hu Min immediately understood Han Yan's thoughts, without him, the five thousand people and the ordnance, grain and grass were too tempting.
"Haha! It's still understandable, but you're only half right about that! After laughing a few times, Han Yan let out a sigh of relief, and said with a solemn expression: "Tongda, do you remember what you said to me when you first met Chen Gong?" ”
"When did you first meet Chen Gong? What do you mean, Childe? ”
After a few months, Hu Min's memory is really not so good, and the most important thing is that Hu Min doesn't know what Han Yan is asking.
"When I first met Chen Gong, you told me that this person has a straightforward temperament, is resourceful, and although he has a good name, he rarely connects with famous people in the sea, which is what you told me! I don't know, do you remember? ”
Han Yan naturally knew about the things he had deliberately written down, so he didn't need to think about it too much, and just said it.
"Ahh It turns out that this is the case, it seems that the lord's plan is the Chen Palace! ”
Not to mention jealousy, although Hu Min's heart was a little unhappy, he finally reined in and did not change his face.
"Huh! Although you have a thousand strategies, but you are always good at large-scale strategy, although few people in this area are as good as you, but if you really want to talk about arranging troops and planning people, you are too bad! ”
Han Yan, who has been the 'lord' for a long time, naturally saw the unhappiness in Hu Min's heart at a glance, and he didn't have to wait to turn back, he directly opened his mouth to explain Hu Min.
Han Yan's words are both positive and negative, but more of it is the affirmation of Hu Min, so Hu Min was immediately relieved, think about it carefully, if he is really good at layout and seeking people, then how can he let a group of wealthy businessmen in Dongguan calculate?
"The lord is interested, that is naturally the best, but this Chen Gong is too upright, so I am afraid of ......"
In the end, Hu Min didn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it, but the trace of worry in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Hmmm! I understand what you mean, so I made up my mind to go to Luoyang to have a look at it while I promised Chen Gong just now, otherwise, why should I find myself bored? ”
Nodding slightly, Han Yan shared his thoughts and thoughts, but thinking about his actions carefully, Han Yan couldn't help but shake his head.
Just as Han Yan was talking to Hu Min and the others, a voice suddenly sounded outside, "Have a letter?" Are you in there? ”
"Huh? It's Taishou-sama! Zhongtai, go open the door! ”
As soon as he heard the voice outside the door, Han Yan knew that it was Kong Rong who came, needless to say, this was when he saw Chen Gong coming directly to find him, he couldn't sit still.
beckoned Sun Guan to open the door, but Han Yan sat steadily.
"Yes! I'll see if there's anything going on on your side. ”
Through the open door, Kong Rong glanced inward, and after making sure that there was no one else, he raised his feet and walked in.
"What's the matter? Naturally, there is nothing! ”
Han Yan, who had already decided to leave, naturally didn't bother to be polite with Kong Rong, and for a long time, looking at this Kong Rong's old face was really boring.
"Nothing? So what is Chen Gong doing here? Could it be that Lord Thorn Shi invited you over again? ”
Seeing that Han Yan was reluctant to say more to himself, the corners of Kong Rong's mouth twitched, and he asked with some displeasure.
"Oh! Lord Taishou is talking about the matter of Chen Palace! Pretending to suddenly realize, Han Yan slapped his head and said, "You said it earlier!" That Chen Gong came to send people and horses grain and grass, and now he is gone! ”
"Giving people food and grass? What's going on? ”
As soon as he heard these two things that Han Yan said, Kong Rong's heart immediately became nervous.
It was good to say that although Han Yan had more than 4,000 people under his command, Kong Rong had nearly 8,000 under his command, and such a huge number naturally gave Kong Rong great confidence, but now if Jiao He does something, then Kong Rong really doesn't dare to think about it.
"Don't worry about it! The meaning of the assassin is that he wants me to go to Luoyang to join the alliance in Luoyang instead of him and jointly crusade against Dong Zhuo, so he will act like this. ”
These things couldn't be hidden, so Han Yan didn't bother to hide them, and directly explained the truth to Kong Rong.
Knowing the truth from Han Yan's mouth, Kong Rong's careful thinking became active, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth grinned upward, "That, there is a letter!" Tell me, how have you been living with me all this time? ”
"Thanks to the care of Taishou-sama, I have been extremely comfortable during this time!"
Although he could see at a glance what Kong Rong was planning, Han Yan still pretended to be confused and chatted with Kong Rong slowly.
"Hmmm! In this way, when the Son of Heaven is in trouble, those who are courtiers must do their best to repay them by swearing to die. You see, I'm ...... How many people are suitable? ”
In the final analysis, Kong Rong still doesn't know much about governing the army, but now it's too late to find Zong Bao, and in desperation, Kong Rong can only discuss with Han Yan with his old face.
"How many people? Taishou, you're going with me! ”
Deliberately making a shocked look, Han Yan looked at Kong Rong in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what an 'interesting' Confucian!
"That's it! Is that! ”
After saying it twice, Kong Rong's face was a little flushed, after all, he had been an official for so many years, and it was the first time that he had spoken so quietly with a junior.
"Hmmm! In the North Sea, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Thieves are still raging, and Lord Taishou, you have left enough people to defend the city. By the way, Lord Assassin Shi also mentioned when he sent someone over that the number of Yellow Turban Thieves in Qingzhou is still quite a lot, if you don't leave enough manpower, I'm afraid that Lord Assassin Shi won't be able to help you at that time. ”
It's none of his business, Han Yan casually analyzed it for Kong Rong, as for how to decide, it was Kong Rong's own business.
"This ...... This ......" After hesitating for a while, Kong Rong gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, then I will leave two thousand people to defend the city!" ”
"Two thousand? That's too guarded, isn't it? ”
Although he understood Kong Rong's eagerness to make meritorious contributions, but he was so radical, Han Yan was really afraid that after he came back, he would even let the Yellow Turban Thief get rid of his old nest.
"This, there is a letter! I don't have a lot of men, so do you think you can help keep 2,000 men behind and help me keep them? ”
Years of food were not eaten in vain, although he didn't know how to govern the army, Kong Rong soon found a good way to relieve his pressure.
"Huh? I leave two thousand people behind? ”
At this time, Han Yan was really a little surprised, what is this Kong Rong doing? Aren't you afraid that you will swallow his Beihai country?
"Yes! Leave two thousand behind! ”
Kong Rong's gaze was firm, and he repeated what he had just said heavily.
"That's it!"
Nodding slightly, Han Yan understood what Kong Rong meant.
It is true that the two thousand people under Kong Rong are not at the same level as the two thousand people under Han Yan, and the two thousand people who are also left on Kong Rong's side are purely the fate of being crushed, but this is the case, but considering that there is no chaos in the world now, it is impossible for these two parties to do it.
Unless it is said that Dong Zhuo's side has usurped power, the Son of Heaven is still there, and even if Han Yan occupies Juxian County, it will be useless, because he has no appointment from the imperial court. Of course, Han Yan is not unable to ask Dong Zhuo for an appointment, but that would be equivalent to tying himself to the other party's camp, and when officials from all over the country began to express their positions, he brazenly stood up against most people, Han Yan believed that he should not live for ten days and half a month.
After pondering for a while, Han Yan understood the other party's plan, frowned slightly, and said: "Although Taishou said so, I can only leave some old, weak, sick and disabled people in these two thousand people, and none of my generals will stay." ”
"This is natural, it is enough to have 2,000 strong people, if you really want to leave 2,000 elites, then it will be difficult to beg the thief!" Seeing Han Yan's statement, Kong Rong naturally smiled, waved his hand to everyone in the room, and said with a smile: "Since there is nothing to do, then I will go down and arrange it first!" ”
"Taishou-sama, go slowly!"
Dealing with it without being salty, Han Yan was already full of unhappiness.
And Han Yan's unhappiness is in stark contrast to Kong Rong's happiness.
