Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Trumpet of War
Tang Hua saw that Zhao Xue and the fool were standing there at the entrance of the village, and Zhao Xue was far away and shouted, Brother Snake, Brother Snake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Damn, why don't you change your words, this little baby really deserves to be spanked. He shook his head and said, "By the way, Xue'er, are the things you need for your eldest brother's marriage ready, if not, hurry up and prepare, and this matter will be settled today and tomorrow." ”
Zhao Xue said happily: "Everything is ready, I've been waiting for you and the second brother to come back." ”
Tang Hua then said: "Big brother has a happy event today, the family will definitely be very chaotic, Xue'er, you find someone to let this injured scholar live first, and let someone take care of him, he is too seriously injured, we definitely don't have time to take care of him in the past two days, let's take him with us when we leave." By the way, let someone cook the medicine for him, serve him, and pay some money to the people who serve him when we leave. ”
After Zhao Xue agreed, she took Zhang He to find the farmer's house, and Tang Hua and the fool went directly to Zhao Yun's house.
When Tang Hua saw Zhao Yun's eldest brother, he saluted him and said: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for you, your marriage was handled in such a hurry, Tang Hua really didn't want to go, you must forgive, and you have to explain to your sister-in-law that it is indeed a special situation in Yanmen." ”
Zhao Yun's eldest brother Zhao Jun said: "What do you say, I still have to thank your brother, otherwise I don't know if I will have to wait until that year to do it." ”
Tang Hua said: "Since this is the case, then we don't have to be polite, let's hurry up." ”
Zhao Jun's wedding went on normally, but the marriage ceremony in the countryside was very complicated, and Tang Hua didn't understand it anyway, so he could only help with chores. There were not many households in Zhaojia Village, Tang Hua asked Zhao Yun to call all the people in the village to have a banquet for two days, and Tang Hua and they set off on the third day.
A few days later, when they arrived at the Yin Pavilion, the fool helped Zhao Yun to settle the family's house, and Tang Hua and Zhang He walked to the gentleman's car. Tang Hua said to him: "I've already arrived at the Yin Pavilion, I don't know where you want to go to Yanmen?" ”
The gentleman is much better now, but now he is just a little weaker, and there will be no problem in speaking, but he has forgotten about his business because he has been too busy these days.
I only heard the scholar say: "Thank you for saving me, and I will report after saving my life, I don't know the benefactor's name?" ”
Tang Hua said to the scholar: "We didn't want you to repay your kindness when we saved you, as for the name, don't say it, I don't know where you are going now?" If the person you're looking for isn't in the Netherworld, we can only find someone to send you to, and we still have something to do in the Netherworld, so we can't send you. ”
The scholar said, "Thank you for sending me to the Yanmen County Mansion." ”
Oh, when Tang Hua heard this, he wanted to go to the county government. Tang Hua looked at the scholar before he said, "Do you know the people in the county government?" ”
The gentleman said, "I don't know." ”
Tang Hua is even more strange, don't you know anyone, what are you going to do? Said: "Then do you have anything to do with going to the county government?" ”
The gentleman said, "I'm looking for a serpent." ”
When Zhang Yiyi heard this, he laughed out loud and said to the scholar: "Since you don't know the snake, what is the matter with you looking for the snake, I heard that the snake is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep in a day, so he has time to receive you." ”
The gentleman said, "Alas, I am here to defect to the serpent, who knew that I would meet the Yellow Turban thieves on the road?" If it weren't for Engong's rescue and healing, he would have survived until now. ”
Zhang Yiyi listened, interesting, and didn't say anything, and then asked: "Why did you go to the snake?" ”
The scholar said: "Engong, you don't know, Daxiong cleared the horse thieves, fought the Xianbei people, and fought the Huns, and was the hero of my Han Dynasty. ”
Zhang Hedao: "Don't you know, the Yanmen of the Fierce Snake is illegally occupied, and the court has recognized its legitimacy. This is a crime against thieves. ”
The scholar said angrily when he heard this: "What illegal occupation, it should be said that it is recovered, it is recovered from the hands of the Xianbei people, I think that the court may not all be incompetent, there will still be some upright people, and the fierce snake to recover Yanmen is also for those people who fled their homes." I have studied the strategy and tactics of the snake, if the people do not have a settlement point, it will drag the snake army, which is dangerous, after all, the strength of the snake army is limited, there are too few soldiers, and the Xianbei iron cavalry has hundreds of thousands, the snake only has high mobility to gradually eliminate the enemy, otherwise it is self-destruction. Of course, the snake is also very clear, otherwise he would not have recovered Yanmen now, for the Snake Army, recovering Yanmen now is a last resort, and it is for the refugees to collect Yanmen. ”
Zhang He continued: "I heard that now the Bingzhou Assassin Shi Dingyuan has sent a large army to clear the Great Bear Army, and there are a large number of Xianbei Iron Cavalry behind, especially the Tuoba Department and the Snake Army are enmity, and the Tuoba Department also has 70,000 or 80,000 Iron Knights, which are all Tiger and Wolf Divisions." The Tuoba Department is also preparing to attack the fierce snake, and there are iron horsemen such as Qianghu and Xiongnu on the side. Aren't you scared when you come at this time? It's very dangerous now. ”
The scholar said, "Engong, you don't know, I believe that the fierce snake can bear it." Ding Yuan of Bingzhou is not afraid, as long as there are 2,000 soldiers stationed on the Yanmen Pass, no matter how many soldiers he has in Dingyuan, he will not be able to defeat them in the short term.
As for the Xianbei Iron Cavalry of the Tuoba Division, it is a bit troublesome, but the Fierce Snake has time to prepare, and even if I have studied the Tartars, they will not move south until winter comes, and even if they come, if they can't destroy the Snake Army in a short time, they will not be able to use troops once it snows heavily. As for the Qianghu and the Xiongnu, they will not go far and far to expand Yanmen for the time being. ”
After listening to the words of the scholar on the side, Tang Hua obediently understood that he was a talented person, and said, "What's your name?" ”
The scholar said: "Engong, I am Tian Chou of Youbeiping, Tian Zitai. ”
Tang Hua and Zhang He both laughed out loud after hearing his words, Tang Hua thought to himself, it is really a good person who has a good reward, and he really rescued a great talent by inadvertently saving someone, this time he picked up a treasure.
Tian Chou, Tian Zitai, young and talented, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu heard that Tian Chou is talented, hired as a state pastor, and then Liu Yu sent an envoy to the Chang'an court, after arriving in Chang'an, the court sealed him official, he did not accept, and returned to Youzhou. At this time, Youzhou was destroyed by Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu also died, Gongsun Zan did not recruit, and was released from Gongsun Zan after a few years of imprisonment and returned to his hometown, until Cao Cao attacked Karasuma, helped Cao Cao to destroy Badun, Cao Cao read his merits many times to Tian Chou to seal the marquis, Tian Chou was not accepted.
When Tang Hua heard that he was really Tian Zitai, he was really happy in his heart, so he said to him: "Mr. Zitai, I see that your injuries still have to be recuperated for a period of time, I will help you find a place to live, and then find someone to serve you for a while, and it is not too late to go to see the snake after you recover from your injuries, if you hold on to the snake now, I am afraid that it will affect your injury, and if you want to surrender to the snake, you must also be in good health, what do you think?" ”
After listening to Tang Hua's words, Tian Chou thought for a while and said, "Then thank you so much, can you tell Engong's name?" ”
Zhang Hedao: "Mr. Zitai, you will know when your injuries are healed, and you are not in a hurry." ”
Tian Chou said: "Then thank you two bentos." ”
Then Tang Hua found someone to confess, and went directly to the county government with Zhang He.
I heard that after Tang Hua came back, Zhang Liao, Heizi, Ergou, Mai Zi, and Sima Lang all came, only Li You from Yanmen Pass, Zhang Chuang, and Chen Fang from Luoyang were not there. After Tang Hua introduced Zhang He to everyone, Sima Lang was the first to shout, "My lord, you have disappeared for half a month without knowing it, regardless of the strong enemies around you, regardless of the life or death of tens of thousands of refugees, you are really a hands-off shopkeeper." ”
Tang Hua smiled and said, "Mr. Boda, there are strong enemies around you and General Wenyuan and they resist, it doesn't matter if I'm not there." As for refugees, you are a famous person in the world, and you are a master in internal affairs, who will I not hand it over to you? Besides, I don't know about internal affairs, and if I interfere indiscriminately, it won't be causing trouble for you, sir. ”
Sima Lang is depressed, is this a complete trick? "You always say that you don't understand internal affairs, but I think the terms you used to engage in are very good, and they are more radical and effective than my ideas, what do you mean by this, I think you are just lazy and don't want to be responsible."
Tang Hua saluted Sima Lang and said, "Mr. Boda, I messed around with those things when I had no choice, but when it came to how to do it, I was dumbfounded, I really didn't know anything about government affairs." Besides, with you as a talented man, what else do I care? ”
Sima Lang smiled bitterly after hearing this: "You can rest assured of me, you are not afraid that I will mess around, and you are not afraid that I will leave." ”
Tang Hua laughed after listening to Sima Lang's words, and after glancing at him, he said to him cordially: "Mr. Boda, as long as you promise something, how can you lose your word, I absolutely believe in you, let alone leave, and I believe that you will handle it best." In a word, all the internal affairs in my jurisdiction are handed over to you, and I won't ask about it, just deal with it boldly, if there is any problem, I will come out to help you carry it. ”
After Sima Lang listened to Tang Hua's words, his eyes were red, and he was very excited in his heart, so trusting, so open-minded, he went there to find such a person.
And Tang Hua didn't know what was going on, so he went down and patted Sima Lang's arm and said, "What's the matter, there are dust particles in your eyes, do you want me to help you blow it." ”
Sima Lang burst into tears all of a sudden, suddenly knelt down to Tang Hua, and kowtowed three times to Tang Hua, which really scared Tang Hua, your brother doesn't really want to leave, right? Just about to pull him up, he said: "Sima Lang has followed the lord for the rest of his life, and he will never regret death, please accept it." ”
Now Tang Hua heard it clearly, and quickly helped Sima up. "Mr. Berda, why not! You and I are friends, as long as we all have a heart for the people is more important than anything else, as long as we all want to protect the land and the people, we will cooperate very well, of course, I will never fail Mr. Berda in this life. "Tang Hua is still happy in his heart, is it easy, I finally got you done today, this is a good photo. I heard Sima Lang say again: "My lord, now the number of refugees pouring into our Yanmen County has exceeded 50,000, and we don't have a large amount of food to resettle, and the biggest problem now is the food problem." ”
Tang Hua smiled and said, "Boda, can those 100,000 loads of grain solve the problem?" ”
Sima Lang said: "My lord, the 100,000 quintals of grain that came, if there were 100,000 quintals of food, even if there were 100,000 quintals of food, we would be able to settle 100,000 refugees very well, but now there are no 10,000 quintals." ”
Tang Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boda, I've got 100,000 quintals of grain." ”
Sima Lang glanced at Tang Hua and saw that Tang Hua didn't look like he was joking, but how could this be? Even if someone is willing to sell us food, we don't have the money to buy it, and Sima Lang is very clear about the financial situation. Sima Lang glanced up at Tang Hua again, and when he saw that Tang Hua was indifferent, he said angrily: "The lord is playing me?" ”
Tang Hua smiled and said, "Boda, how dare I play with you, it's true." "After that, this is the cooperation agreement I signed with the Zhen family, let's read it slowly.
Sima Lang looked at the expression on his face more relaxed, and after reading it, he said: "Lord, the Zhen family is not a big loss like this, now we can solve the problem of disaster victims and refugees." ”
When Tang Hua heard it, it was over, it was over, it seemed that although Sima Lang was a master of internal affairs, he really didn't understand business operations. said to him: "Boda, you said that the Zhen family is losing, how is this possible?" This condition was only achieved by me and Mr. Zhen after bargaining for half a day. Originally, Mr. Zhen wanted the exclusive distribution right of jewelry and jade in my jurisdiction, and asked for the distribution right of eighty percent of grain and iron ore. I did not agree, and said that the grain in my jurisdiction is only allowed to enter and not to leave, and no one in my jurisdiction has the right to mine iron ore, only the right to trade. Do you say a businessman would buy or sell at a loss? Definitely not, he just gave us 100,000 quintals of grain and 50,000 catties of iron ore, which is too little, I originally thought that I could get 200,000 quintals, but Old Man Zhen was too cunning to do it. ”
Sima Lang said: "Lord, those distribution rights are virtual and useless. And he paid us twenty taels of gold for that kind of wine, and we should have earned more than him." ”
Damn, you're not going to be dizzy. Tang Hua said: "Boda, the production of that kind of wine is very low, he pays us twenty taels of gold for one jar, but he sells for hundreds of taels of gold per jar, who do you say earns more." If those distribution rights are according to what Mr. Zhen said, we are controlled by his family, and if you want eighty percent of the distribution rights in the hands of his family, it means that the entire grain price and food supply and demand in our jurisdiction are controlled by his family, then we will not all be played to death, and I think even thirty percent is too high. ”
Sima Lang thought for a while and said, "What the lord said makes sense, but I still think we are a good deal." ”
Tang Hua smiled and said: "Then according to Boda's words, but our cooperation with the Zhen family must be kept secret, this is a requirement of both parties, and you can't talk nonsense after you go out." ”
Everyone said: "It's the lord." ”
Tang Hua said: "Then Wen Yuan will talk about the current enemy situation and the situation of our army." ”
At this time, Tang Hua saw Zhao Yun and the fool walking in, Tang Hua hurriedly went over and took his hand and said, "Zilong, have they settled up, big brother?" If you have any difficulties, let Wenyuan and them help you. ”
Zhao Yun said: "Big brother, don't worry, the residence has been found, let them clean up the other things first, I am also careful of the enemy, so I will pull the fool to find you." ”
Tang Hua introduced and introduced all his subordinates to Zhao Yun, and after everyone finished saluting.
Zhang Liao said: "My lord, Ding Yuan has already decided to do something to us, and now they are making preparations for the expedition, and it is estimated that the preparations will be completed in the next two days." Even the scouts of our army reported that Ding Yuan really sent Lu Bu with 20,000 horses to attack us this time. Now we all send a large number of scouts every day to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and if there is a new situation, they will send it immediately. ”
