Chapter 4 Taishou Lu Kang
In a small pavilion in the courtyard of the house, two people sat cross-legged, one was over fifty years old and burly, although he was dressed as a scribe, but it was difficult to hide the murderous aura between his eyes. The pen %fun %pavilion looked at the other person www.biquge.info his eyes, and his deep voice immediately sounded: "In this way, Lujiang County is in danger, how can there be eggs under the nest at that time, and our Lujiang family will also be turned into ashes."
"The state affairs are difficult and the world is chaotic, so I have no choice but to ask Meng Jianxian for help, and I hope that the virtuous brother will take action to save the people of Lujiang from the suffering of war." An old man in his sixties, with a thin body and a look of compassion in his eyes. This person is the Taishou Lu Kang, who has been the Taishou in Lujiang County for seven years. Outstanding political achievements, the people in the county, the family of the family received many favors from it.
Wu Gu thought for a while and showed a look of embarrassment to Lu Kang: "It is our duty to send troops, but I am afraid that we can't do anything about borrowing grain and grass."
"Please also ask Brother Xian not to be busy refusing first, this matter can be considered for a moment before replying." Lu Kang showed a sad face and hurriedly explained to Wu Gu. In order to ensure the tranquility of Lujiang County in recent years, the treasury has long been empty, and it has no choice but to make this decision.
Wu Guzou raised his brows and poured bitter water on Lu Kang: "My Wu clan has a large population, and with the addition of eight hundred soldiers, the annual consumption alone is thousands of gold. If you keep this too much, you will borrow 4,000 pieces of food, and I am afraid that you can only disappoint the adults."
"Chaohu is a land of plastering, is my brother willing to use the Chaohu land west of Chaoxian County as a condition in exchange for 4,000 pieces of grain and grass." Lu Kang thought about it for a while and thought that the military situation was urgent, so he said the maximum condition he could come up with.
Wu Gu shook his head without thinking, although Lujiang County is quite peaceful, but this Chaohu Lake is not a peaceful place: "The Yellow Turban bandits are wanton, and the Chaohu water bandits are even more rampant. It is true that Chaohu Lake is a place of ointment, but there are hundreds of bandits of different sizes. Taishou exchanged these unusable wastelands for 4,000 pieces of grain and grass, and I am afraid that I can't move my Wu clan to take out this only grain and grass and hand it over to Taishou."
"That's it, in that case, let's stop it. After your Wu family soldiers gather, you will go to Hefei Houguo with your brother and wait for the battle." Lu Kang sighed and knew that it was useless to continue talking, so he could only retreat and finalize the matter of sending troops.
Wu Gu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, now there are only 5,000 Hu grain and grass at home, and if he is really moved, he will give 4,000 Hu. This big Wu family, I'm afraid there will really be a mess. What's more, most of the 800 soldiers have to go to battle, and the cost of grain, grass and money is incalculable.
"Slow". A voice interrupted the words of the two, and Wu Hao walked quickly with Wu Hu. He listened to the words just now, and when he thought of a major event in Chaohu in the future, he hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him. In his eyes, not to mention exchanging 4,000 grains and grass for Taishou's permission, it doesn't hurt to have more. If you can level the water bandits, send people to Chaohu Lake, and then open up more than 100,000 acres of fertile land.
Lu Kang was not annoyed when he heard the immature voice, but looked at Wu Hao with more interest. He has long heard that Wu's youngest son does not respect the restraints of etiquette and law, and his parents dote on him a lot, and not long ago he beat Zhou Yu, a child of the Zhou family, in Shu County, the county capital. This one by one made him full of curiosity: "You are the third son of the Wu family who is drunk all over the world and only I am sober?" Or is it the heroic man who punched Zhou Yu, a child of the Zhou family, in the county academy? “。
"The uncle praises falsely, and the nephew is ashamed." Wu Hao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he replied respectfully to Lu Kang, with a slight charm in his tone.
Listening to his son's glorious deeds in the county government, Wu Gu couldn't help but be stunned: "Beat up Zhou Yu, a son of the Zhou family?"
"The child thinks that his father should share his worries for the country, and if he can't take out 4,000 Hu, it's good to lend 3,000 Hu to his uncle." Looking at his father's expression, Wu Hao felt embarrassed and quickly changed the topic.
When Lu Kang heard Wu Hao's words, his eyes lit up with an approving look. Originally, I didn't have hope for this matter, but I didn't expect that although there was a thousand less hulls, it was better than nothing. Thinking of this, without waiting for Wu Gu to continue to ask, he immediately interjected: "If the virtuous brother can give his brother 3,000 grains and grass, he is also willing to exchange Chaohu Lake west of Chaoxian County."
Wu Gu glared at Wu Hao, his eyes full of displeasure.
Wu Hao was familiar with his father's character, and he was not afraid, but pushed back with his eyes, revealing a triumphant look. Saying this myself is just pushing the boat along the water. With his father's loyal and patriotic thoughts, even if he doesn't say that he will come back to his senses, he may not give these 3,000 yuan to others.
"Brother Xian is silent, why?". Lu Kangzou frowned, the Wu clan in Chaoxian County was strong, and he had always been loyal to the monarch, so he hurriedly asked for the door. Could it be that he can't take out three thousand hundred?
Wu Gu gritted his teeth in his heart, glared at Wu Hao again, and looked at Lu Kang: "My Wu family should take this matter down."
"Someone". After Wu Gu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Lu Kang to reply, and looked out of the small pavilion.
A middle-aged man dressed as a family member, thin and thin, bowed to Wu Gu: "Obey the orders of the head of the family."
"Open the treasury at home and take 3,000 pieces of grain and hand it over to Taishou." Wu Gu commanded the family, but blood was dripping in his heart.
Lu Kang was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up from his seat, and bowed solemnly to Wu Gu: "Thank you for the great kindness of the Wu family for my brother and the people of Lujiang, so that there is enough food and grass in the army, and the Yellow Turban bandit Kou Xiu wants to step into my Lujiang River."
"Our family has been blessed by the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and these are just what we should do." As soon as the words were spoken, Wu Gu was also free and easy, and got up to return the salute to Lu Kang.
The two stood up straight at the same time, Lu Kang glanced at Wu Hao gratefully, and then smiled heartily: "Your son is really good, so that Brother Wei is envious."
"The military situation is urgent, and I will arrange food and grass for my brother first, and when the soldiers of your family gather, you can immediately go to Hefei Houguo to block the enemy." After Lu Kang finished speaking, he bowed to Wu Gu, and then turned away.
Watching Lu Kang walk away, Wu Guqi's teeth itched, and he stretched out a hand to make a gesture to twist his ears: "Three thousand Hu grains are gone, how do you let your father explain to those branches?" What is Chaohu Lake, don't you know? Where the water bandits are ravaged, what can they do even if the land is plastered? It's not a barren land yet."
"Taishou personally came to the door, will my father not give it?". Wu Hao hurriedly dodged and asked Wu Gu rhetorically.
"Hmph". Wu Gu let out a cold snort in annoyance, neither admitting nor denying it.
Wu Hao took advantage of the victory to pursue and sighed at Wu Gu: "Instead of believing that my father will not give food, I believe that my father will rebel."
Wu Gu was so angry with this young boy that he slapped Wu Hao's head with one hand.
"It hurts". Wu Hao hurriedly rubbed his head and stared at his father with a resentful face. At this time, he was very sure in his heart that he must not be his own, otherwise how could he do it.
Wu Gu deliberately glared at Wu Hao viciously, and reprimanded: "Rebellion, rebellion, such an open-mouthed will sooner or later bring trouble to my Wu family." Let me go back and think about it behind closed doors, and if I break your leg again."
"Oh". Wu Hao saw that his father was angry, so he could only respond aggrievedly. Why is it so difficult to move him to rebel? Do you really want to go outside to find thick thighs, just thinking about it makes people feel a sense of sadness.
Seeing his son reluctantly walk away, Wu Gu showed a helpless smile. The young son is good at everything, but he is open-mouthed, and he always looks like a child who can't grow up.
Thinking of the current situation, he put away his smile and walked directly out of the house.
