Chapter 35: The Yellow Turban Thief

"Hmmm! That's it! Nodding slightly, Hu Min sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Less than half a day away from here, there is a group of remnants of yellow turban thieves, and they have a lot of grain stored there......"

"Oh? Yellow Turban remnants? Where did they come from? Could it be that it was snatched from Dongguan City? ”

Touching his chin, Han Yan couldn't understand Hu Min's logic, it didn't seem to have anything to do with his purpose, right?

"I didn't get it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" touched the back of his head embarrassedly, and Hu Min hurriedly explained: "There are about more than 10,000 people in this group of Yellow Turbans, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, plus relatives, and they are stationed together to farm for a living, so the grain storage is not small. ”

"Oh? The remnants of the Yellow Turban who farmed for a living? Ha ha! Ha ha! Repeating Hu Min's words, Han Yan suddenly laughed, and then, Han Yan, who was originally kneeling, leaned forward suddenly, looked at Hu Min's eyes with fierce eyebrows, and said sharply: "Those who make a living from farming are the people of my Han Dynasty!" You let me plunder them! Hu Tongda! What are your intentions? ”

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! ”

Seeing that Han Yan's eyebrows were already screwed together, Hu Min hurriedly spoke, temporarily persuading the angry Han Yan.

"Oh? Misunderstand? Then I'll give you a chance to explain well, if your explanation doesn't satisfy me......" Han Yan spoke, glanced in Huang Zhong's direction, and then said, "Then I'm afraid I'm going to do something that will make you unhappy tonight......"

Hearing Han Yan's reminder, Huang Zhong's cooperative round eyes widened, put on a murderous look, and looked at Hu Min deadly.

"Yes! Be! Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Hu Min swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then explained, "There is indeed not much grain in Dongguan City, and the nearby cities are not close, but many wealthy merchants in the city have a lot of property. In this way, we will have some grain and grass here, and we will buy some more, and it will be enough for your thousands of people......"

Listening to Hu Min's explanation, Han Yan restrained the anger in his heart and calmed down to think. It is true that what Hu Min said before made Han Yan very angry, but no matter what, the top priority now is grain and grass.

"You...... Let's talk about this gang of yellow turban thieves......"

After hesitating again and again, Han Yan decided to understand the specific situation first, and wanted to judge the feasibility of Hu Min's plan.

"Yes!" agreed, seeing that Han Yan was no longer so excited, Hu Min cleaned up his clothes that were a little messy because of nervousness, and said neatly: "This group of Yellow Turban remnants is led by the former Yellow Turban general Guan Hai, and most of his subordinates are Yellow Turban remnants who drag their families and mouths, except for Guan Hai, there are no other well-known guys, these people are stationed less than fifty miles to the north, and they are almost in Beihai Country." Because the place they are in is really special, and they usually don't come out to disturb the place at all, whether it is Dongguan or Beihai, they are all blind to them. ”

"Hmmm! So that's it! ”

From the analysis of what Hu Min said, Han Yan felt that this group of yellow turbans should still be relatively easy to contact, plus it has been five years since the defeat of the yellow turban thieves, and they should farm for no less than two or three years, so there is a lot of grain stock.

Seeing that Han Yan was deep in thought, Hu Min secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked cautiously, "That...... Is there something I don't know if to talk about or not? ”

"Huh? Do you have anything else? Go ahead! ”

Han Yan, who was still thinking about how to contact Guan Hai, naturally retreated from his contemplation when he heard Hu Min's words.

"Yes! I would like to ask, what do you think of these remnants of the Yellow Turban? ”

Nodding slightly, Hu Min sorted out his thoughts and asked solemnly.

"What do you think of these remnants of the Yellow Turban? Are you asking me what is in my heart? ”

Glancing at Hu Min suspiciously, Han Yan felt that the person in front of him was really not simple, and every time he said something, he could hit his heart, although he was angry with himself just now.

"Yes! Truth! ”

Staring at Han Yan's eyes, Hu Min nodded heavily and repeated the sentence.

"Whew! In that case, I'll tell you! With a sigh of relief, Han Yan's whole person relaxed, "Saying these Yellow Turban remnants is naturally saying that the Yellow Turban Thieves, in my eyes, most of these people are just some poor people who can't eat enough, but in the later stage of the uprising, people's hearts are unpredictable, so things are a little difficult to control, if there is a choice, I believe they are willing to be the cornerstone of my Han, not ...... The thief who stirs up the world......"

"Yes! If there is a choice! ”

Sighing lightly, Hu Min didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat Han Yan's words.

"Hmmm! If the court forces the people to have no way out, then the people still have one last way to go, and there is a rebellion, which is not shameful or hateful, everything is just the court's own fault. ”

Somehow, Han Yan suddenly remembered some things that he had seen in the future, and he was full of emotion for a while, and said everything in his heart.

"Yes! This is not shameful, nor hateful, everything is the fault of the imperial court......" Repeating this sentence, the expression on Hu Min's face changed, but in the end, it became cautious, and as soon as he arched his hand towards Han Yan, Hu Min opened his mouth and said, "I don't know who Your Excellency is?" Why was he able to subdue the 'Taishan Thief' in Kaiyang City, and why did he know so much about the problem of the Yellow Turban Thief? ”

"Who am I? What do you think...... Who am I? ”

ignored Hu Min's question, but Han Yan did not veto it, but sold it to the other party.

"This ...... I can't guess how many talented people there are in the world, how can I guess them all? Obviously stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on Hu Min's face, "However, I guess Your Excellency must be a rare sage in the world, I don't know if what I said is correct?" ”

"Hmm~~~, this is really ......" Facing Hu Min's answer of retreating, Han Yan was a little speechless, and waved his hand fiercely, Han Yan stiffened his face, "Don't talk about these useless things, let's talk about the actual ones!" How much grain and grass can you take out in Dongguan City, and how much silver can you come up with? ”

"This ...... Since Your Excellency asked, I will tell you the truth. After hesitating for a moment, Hu Min made up his mind and made up his mind, "There are now more than 3,000 stones of grain in Kaiyang City, but considering the daily consumption, we can give you up to 600 stones, and we are willing to make up the rest with the equivalent amount of silver, I don't know if you are satisfied with this?" ”

"Not satisfied? Are you going to treat me like a bandit? Muttering a little unhappily, Han Yan frowned and thought about it, "This is a journey of dozens of miles to Guan Hai, and you should be able to arrive within half a day, if you buy grain and grass from Guan Hai, it will be simple." If not...... Then you can't rob it yourself! In this way, the six hundred stone of grain and grass will be ...... Alas! ”

"If Your Excellency is not at ease, then I am willing to accompany you on a trip, and when the time comes, I can't buy grain and grass from Guan Hai, I will let Dongguan City send three times as much grain and grass to you to escort over, what do you think?"

Hu Min saw Han Yan's hesitation at a glance, so he didn't hesitate and pressed himself up directly.

"Six hundred stones is actually enough to grit your teeth, but now it's not a problem!" Shaking his head, Han Yan's face showed a touch of sorrow, "You must know that I have been strictly controlling the supply of grain and grass for the past few days, and today it is only when I arrived in your Dongguan City that I let my soldiers have a full meal, and this is the first ...... It's a little hard to control in the back! ”

"Since you can't control it, why don't you just control it?"

Hu Min didn't understand the meaning of Han Yan's words, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"You...... Alas! You have to think about the bad in everything, so that you don't have to be in a hurry if something goes wrong! ”

Han Yan knew in his heart that people like Hu Min had never been in the army, and some things he didn't understand very well, so he didn't say anything to blame, but opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing Han Yan's explanation, Hu Min immediately understood, "I understand! Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, and be prepared! ”

"If you understand, go back and prepare food and grass!"

Waving his hand weakly, Han Yan was ready to send off the guests, and the next things had to be planned well, otherwise there would really be chaos.

"Huh? Why is it in such a hurry? ”

didn't expect Han Yan to issue an eviction order so quickly, Hu Min was stunned at the time.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Prepare for the morning road! Otherwise, when the time comes, there will not be enough food and grass, and you will really wait for Dongguan City to make up for it? If you march in a hurry, you can save a few more meals, you can save a little...... It's a little bit! ”

Raising his hand and rubbing his somewhat aching forehead, Han Yan waved his hand impatiently to drive Hu Min away.

"Yes! In that case, then I will retire! ”

Hu Min arched his hand towards Han Yan, stood up as he spoke, and walked backwards to the outside of the military tent.

"Whew!"

After Hu Min left, Han Yan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

"Hansheng, have you heard of this Hu Min's name before?"

Thinking back to the conversation with Hu Min just now, Han Yan suddenly became interested in this person, but after thinking about it carefully, he had never heard of this person, so he couldn't help but look at Huang Zhong again.

Huang Zhong, who was asked, was obviously stunned, scratched his forehead, and said with some embarrassment: "Son, you are really ...... I used to be in Jingxiang, and then I came to Luoyang to follow you, this Hu Min is obviously a Hanmen clan, how can I know this person? ”

"That's it!" Nodding, Han Yan also knew that he was a little embarrassed Huang Zhong, "However, this Hu Min is really a little capable." ”

"Oh? Childe is interested in this person? ”

Looking at Han Yan's somewhat excited expression, Huang Zhong was also a little surprised, he had never seen Gongzi in this situation before.

"Hmmm! It's a little, if possible...... It's best to keep him around, after all, there is still a shortage of people to advise......"

As he spoke, Han Yan glanced at Huang Zhong deeply, this Han Sheng is good at everything, but his brain is not so flexible, and he can't count on some things at all, and he is now lacking a strategist!

Speaking of strategists, Han Yan remembered the time when he was in the General's Mansion, whether it was Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or Xiao Ji and Kuai Yue...... Wait a minute! Kuaiyue!

Thinking of this person, Han Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "That, Han Sheng, do you remember that when the general was still alive, there was a man named Kuai Yue under his command?" Can you still remember where he went? ”

"Kuaiyue? The one who went to jail to see you before? After thinking about it carefully, Huang Zhong really remembered that there was such a person, "It seems that he went to Jingzhou with the Marquis of the Northern Army, right?" After the death of the general, you don't seem to have much to do with those people, and it's not easy to find them now. ”

"Yes! He seems to have gone to Jingzhou with Liu Biao! ”

Smacking his lips, Han Yan said with some regret, if he wants to ask him for help, it should be a matter of one sentence, right? But now that the other party has gone to Jingzhou, it is useless to say this.

After thinking about it carefully, there seem to be a lot of people I know who are good at strategizing, just when they were in the general's mansion, there were Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue and others, and Xun Chen, who was good friends with him, seemed to be not bad, and of course Xun Chen's brother Xun Yu. However, these people can't be invited by Han Yan now, and they are too far away.

Speaking of which, now Han Yan can only rely on himself, thinking of this, Han Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! It's tiring! ”

"Huh? Childe, are you going to rest? ”

Originally, seeing Hu Min leave, Huang Zhong thought that the two were going to have dinner again, but who knew that Han Yan was actually tired.

"Hmmm! It's not too early, Hu Min will definitely come tomorrow morning, it's better to sleep first today! ”

Thinking back to Hu Min's urgent appearance before, compared to tonight, he will prepare grain, grass and money, and it will be sent to the front of the barracks at dawn tomorrow.

"That'...... These cooked meats ......"

Looking at the small half pot of cooked meat in front of him, Huang Zhong couldn't help but swallow and spit, and spoke with difficulty.

"These meats...... Take it and eat it! ”

Pressing his forehead hard, Han Yan waved his hand helplessly.

"Yes!" With Han Yan's permission, Huang Zhong reached out and picked up the basin containing the meat, got up and walked outside the tent, and when he was about to walk out, Huang Zhong stopped, "Childe, it's late at night, don't catch a cold!" ”

"Got it! Eat your flesh and go! ”

Hearing Huang Zhong's caring words, Han Yan's heart warmed, and he laughed and scolded Huang Zhong and drove Huang Zhong out.

Coming back to his senses, Han Yan pushed away the chair behind him and lay down directly, in a daze, Han Yan fell asleep.
