Chapter 0999 The No. 1 Old Slippery Head in the World
"I'm going back to Luoyang!" After being away from home for a long time, Wan'er misses her daughter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wan'er will go back to Luoyang first, and I will go to Wangwu Mountain."
The excitement on Wan'er's face faded.
Wangwu Mountain is the place where the sacrificed heroes and martyrs reside.
Liu Mang wants to personally bury the ashes of Yong Saburo and Wang Bodang.
Thinking of Wang Bodang, Liu Mang's eyes couldn't help but pantothenic acid and look lonely.
"Wan'er will go with her husband...... Although Wan'er misses her daughter, she still leans over very considerately, hugs Liu Mang's arm, and says softly.
“…… All right. Wan'er go rest first, I still have some official business. ”
……
Liu Bowen and the others were already ready to stop, just waiting for the arrival of the lord Liu Mang and set off.
Wang Meng, Guo Kan, Zhou Dewei and others, who stayed in Hongnong, came to see them off and laughed with Liu Bowen and Du Ruhui.
Later, Deng Ai, who would lead his troops eastward, and Li Wei, who came to Hongnong to supervise the disaster relief materials, also came to see them off.
Deng Ai has been in the army for a short time, has a low position, and is clumsy, so he doesn't dare to laugh with these sharp-tongued staff. just poked aside in a daze, and occasionally chatted with Li Wei for a few words.
Liu Mang and Wan'er came out, and Wang Meng and others stepped forward to salute.
"My lord."
"It's so lively, what do you say?"
"Hahaha, we're talking about it, the lord is so talented that he can figure out this good thing!" Liu Bowen smiled and pointed to the stirrups hanging on his mount, and patted Liu Mang's ass very naturally!
"yes!" Wang Meng also smiled and said, "We are talking about the extraordinary talent of the lord, and we are also saying that the lord and Mr. Berwyn can really calm down." Such a great thing has been hidden for years! ”
"Exposed early, how did Zheng County's big victory come about? Hahaha......" everyone burst out laughing.
The stirrup was Liu Mang's "invention and creation" in the Shanggu period of Youzhou at the beginning of his army, and Liu Bowen's suggestion was hidden deeply.
It wasn't until the Yongliang War that this simple and magical equipment finally came in handy and reaped miraculous results.
It's just that this magical equipment, once unveiled, is no longer magical.
Liu Mang had thought of this a long time ago.
Zhou Dewei secretly trained the Tielin Army in Dongyuan, Hedong, and needed to assemble stirrups.
Liu Mang ordered the blacksmiths in the army to make stirrups for the Tielin Army, and at the same time, he also built tens of thousands of stirrups and matching belts for hanging stirrups.
Stirrups, which can reduce the difficulty of riding and improve combat ability.
Use one day sooner, see results one day earlier.
As soon as the Tielin Army appeared and the stirrups were exposed, the stirrups and belts that had been prepared long ago were immediately distributed to the cavalry departments of the Luoyang Army.
Su Dingfang's expedition to Youzhou Daijun, the cavalry under his command was equipped with stirrups.
"Hey, good stuff! What a good thing! Liu Bowen praised from the bottom of his heart.
His riding skills were unusual, and finally with stirrups, it was much easier to get on and off the horse, and it was much more stable to sit on it.
"If I had used this thing a few years earlier...... Lao Slippery saw Shangguan Wan'er present, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he leaned into Wang Meng's ear and said with a low laugh: "Lao Liu's ass, you don't have to suffer so many crimes!" ”
Wang Meng was amused by him.
……
Liu Mang and others set off, and Wang Meng and others were sent to the Shili Long Pavilion.
Liu Mang was about to say goodbye to his subordinates who saw him off, when he suddenly saw dust flying on the official road in the east.
"Look at this posture, it should be a six-hundred-mile expedited stagecoach."
Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves gradually increased, and the post man flew in and presented an urgent official document from Luoyang.
The document was jointly signed by the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, who stayed in Luoyang.
Unfolded it, Liu Mang frowned, shook his head a little helplessly, and sighed softly.
Turning to Liu Bowen, Wang Meng, Du Ruhui said: "You might as well guess, what happened to the auxiliary machine and Xuanling's urgent report?" ”
Hearing Liu Mang's question, Liu Wang and Du breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Du Ruhui said: "Since it is an official document issued by the auxiliary machine and Xuan Ling, it must not be an urgent military report." The Lord's question should not be an urgent report directly related to me. ”
Liu Mang nodded and asked Liu Wang and the others with his eyes.
Liu Bowen and Wang Meng replied at the same time.
"Cao!"
"Grain!"
Liu Mang nodded, and the letter was handed to the staff along with Cao Cao's letter for help. "Yes, it is indeed Cao Mengde's letter for asking for help from grain and grass."
Liu Bowen read the newspaper and snorted disdainfully. "Others say that Lao Liu is an old slippery head, but in my opinion, his Lao Cao is the first slippery head in the world!"
"yes!" Wang Meng echoed, "The subordinates robbed the tomb and touched the gold, and Lao Cao made a windfall. He had long been guarding against Yuan Benchu, buying and hoarding a large amount of grain and grass, how could he be short of grain? ”
Liu Mang said helplessly: "Seeing that we are in the Yongliang battlefield, we have a harvest, so we take the opportunity to rub the oil." ”
Liu Bowen trembled the paperwork. "Look at the amount of money you are asking for, there are bits and pieces, and it seems that you are calculating, and you just lack so much food!"
Liu Mang waved his hand. "Let's not discuss it here, let's discuss it as we go, how to reply to him."
Liu Mang said goodbye to the subordinates who saw him off, but saw Deng Ai's face flushed a little, as if he had something to say.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Deng Ai nodded vigorously. "Hey...... There is a subordinate matter, which is unknown. ”
Deng Ai joined the army late, because of his stuttering, he was not good at communicating with people. He is not very familiar with military affairs. But he has been working hard, paying attention and learning.
Liu Mang patted him on the shoulder: "Shizai is now a general in the army, so it doesn't hurt to say it directly." ”
"Hey...... At the beginning of the war, Cao Mengde refused to ask for help, why did he open his mouth now? ”
Liu Mang smiled.
Liu Mang said secretly: Deng Ai, Deng Ai, no wonder you died at the hands of political enemies in your previous life. Being able to think of this question means that you have a high enough intelligence. But if you don't know the answer, it means that political ability is far lower than intelligence!
Li Wei on the side, his eyes were rolling slightly, looking at Deng Ai's eyes, he seemed to be a little disdainful.
Liu Mang had the heart to check Li Wei's ability, and said, "Li Wei, you tell Shizai about it." ”
"General Shizai, how simple this is! At the beginning of the war, Cao Mengde did not come to ask the lord, just because he knew that whether to help or not to help was up to the lord, not whether he asked for it or not. If you take the initiative to ask for help, you have to owe our lord a great favor. Cao Mengde is slippery! Now, the lord has sent a large army, and Cao Mengde no longer has taboos. Seeing that we made a fortune in Yongliang, we were naturally greedy and wanted a piece of the pie! ”
Liu Mang looked at Li Wei and nodded with satisfaction.
Although Li Wei explained to Deng Ai, Liu Mang didn't expect Deng Ai to improve much in politics.
Engaging in politics requires talent. If Deng Ai had such a talent, he would not have asked this question.
And Li Wei has enough political talent.
……
Cao Cao's bamboo pole was knocked at the right time.
Cao Cao's meaning is obvious.
Since Liu Mang has sent troops, the matter of Jizhou is the matter of Liu Cao's two families. The battlefield of Qingyan is not only the battlefield of his Cao Cao, but also the battlefield of Liu Mang.
Cao Cao wrote a letter to ask for food at this time, and if Liu Mang agreed, he would lose grain and grass for no reason. If he didn't agree, Cao Cao had a handle. Later, you can take it out and talk about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Mang couldn't help but feel angry. joked to Liu Bowen beside him: "This old Cao is really smoother than you!" ”
Liu Bowen smiled: "But not necessarily!" ”
Liu Mang stared at Liu Bowen. "You have a great idea?"
Liu Bowen smiled very smoothly, which means that he is the first old slippery head in the world...... (To be continued.) )
