Chapter 37: Happiness Borrowed Food
Eating quietly while sitting alone is eating, and eating while sitting in a group of people is a culture. Talking about things at the dinner is handed down from ancient times, and this dynasty is no exception, after everyone was drunk, a group of dancers were changed, and the leader of the dance was still Liu Ye's concubine. At this time, Le no longer locked his eyes on Liu Ye's concubine, but on Liu Ye's body.
Liu Ye looked at him when he saw Le, and he understood the intention, and said with a smile: "General Le thinks the dancing girl is good?" ”
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Le held the wine glass in one hand and touched the short beard with the other and smiled.
"Then General Le will pick one of them and bring them back."
Liu Ye raised his wine glass and drank with Le, and then looked meaningfully at his concubine.
Le laughed and said, "Then I might as well be respectful." ”
"I wonder which dancer General Le has a crush on?"
Liu Ye raised his glass again, looked at his concubine, and took a sip.
Le stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Ye's concubine, then smiled, looked at Liu Ye and said, "Brother Liu, I also want to ask Brother Liu for help." ”
Liu Ye was sitting, his body leaned forward slightly, his eyes looked directly into Le's eyes, and said with sincerity: "General Le, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as you can do it in Xia, you will do your best." ”
Le straightened his clothes and said, "There is a shortage of food in the army, is Brother Liu willing to donate some grain and grass?" ”
Liu Lian, who was on the side, suddenly asked, "I don't know how much grain and grass General Le needs?" ”
Le slowly stretched out three fingers and said, "Five thousand stones." [Han Dynasty one stone 60KG]
Liu Lian's hand trembled, and the wine in the cup spilled on the table, and the number of five thousand stones really surprised Liu Lian.
Liu Ye said with a normal face: "Don't worry, general, within seven days, I will definitely raise all the grain and grass for the general." ”
Liu Jian was shocked when he saw Liu Ye agree, and looked at Liu Ye in a panic, and said in his heart: The second brother is not drunk, why do you say such nonsense, the surplus grain at home is only 3,000 stones, and now it is a famine, where to raise the remaining grain and grass. ”
Le said secretly in his heart: I stretched out three fingers, but I said five thousand stones, the meaning is so clear, I can let Liu Ye bargain with me, but he didn't, what is the intention? Although Le just thought so, he smiled as usual: "Brother Liu, this five thousand stones is not a small amount, are you sure you can raise it within three days?" ”
Liu Ye said with a serious face: "I will definitely be able to raise it within seven days, but I have a reluctant request, and I also asked General Le to borrow three hundred men and horses to use it to transport grain." ”
"Okay, no problem, then I'll wait for your food and grass. It's not too early, and it's time for me to go home. ”
Le stood up as he spoke, and looked at Liu Ye's concubine.
Liu Ye glanced at the little concubine, and the little concubine came over and grabbed Le Zuo's arm and went out with Le Zuo. After everyone said goodbye, Liu Ye stood in front of the house and looked up at the sky, the moon was covered by clouds, the light was so powerless, and he didn't even have the strength to break through the clouds.
Liu Jian couldn't control his body anymore at this time, his legs were weak, so he sat on the ground, as the young head of the family, he actually sat on the ground in front of his subordinates, what a gaffe. But Liu Jian couldn't care about it so much, he was really powerless, and he didn't even have the strength to cry.
Liu Ye lowered his head and looked at his brother, slowly bent down and said to Liu Lian: "Brother, seven years ago, when I discussed with you to kill my father's favorite slave together, you also sat on the ground like this. ”
Liu Jian shook his head and said, "Ziyang, a few days ago, my father asked me to take some grain and grass to help the victims, but the food and grass at home is no longer enough. ”
Liu Ye picked up Liu Jian and whispered in Liu Lian's ear: "Nale knows that we have food in stock, so we deliberately want so much, and I also have a way to raise grain and grass, so my brother doesn't have to worry." ”
Liu Jian heard Liu Ye say that he had his own way to deal with it, and his heart dropped a little, so he went back to the room to rest. Ma Hong followed Liu Ye into Liu Ye's room, and as soon as he closed the door, Liu Ye said, "Senior brother, can you guess what method I use to raise grain and grass this time?" ”
Ma Hong paused and said: "The first thing I thought of was that Senior Brother Ziyang wanted to use that three-inch incorruptible tongue to talk about the local tyrants who moved Chengde to raise grain and grass from them." But if you think about it carefully, if Senior Brother Ziyang wants to use his tongue to move the local tyrants, he doesn't need Xiang Le to ask for three hundred soldiers, I think you must be trying to force the local tyrants to hand over the grain and grass in some way! ”
Liu Ye clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, yes, the junior brother has excellent insight, I really want to force the local tyrants to take the initiative to hand over the grain and grass." Senior brother, can you offer a plan? ”
"I have an idea, since you are coming with soldiers, it is better to arrange for these soldiers to go around in front of those local tyrants' houses six or seven times a day, and in two days, senior brother will visit those local tyrants again, I think it will be easier for those frightened local tyrants to stand in the same boat as you, senior brother."
Ma Hong stretched out his fingers and pinched the wick, quickly pulled the wick up, and the room suddenly darkened, and then lit up again.
"It's a good idea, I'll let people do it tomorrow."
Liu Ye stretched out his right hand and approached the oil lamp, and his palm sweated.
Ma Hong looked at the beads of sweat on Liu Ye's palm, and said, "Senior Brother Ziyang, you have to be restrained in sexual affairs!" ”
Liu Ye said seriously: "It's okay, it's okay, it's young, and you recover quickly." ”
Ma Hong smiled slightly, and asked again: "Senior Brother Ziyang, tell me about your strategy!" ”
Liu Ye retracted his right hand, stretched out his left hand and approached the oil lamp, and said, "My strategy, I don't have your strategy as a scoundrel, but it is more dangerous than your strategy." ”
Ma Hong sighed and asked, "Senior Brother Ziyang, does he think that a dangerous strategy or a rogue strategy is better?" ”
Liu Ye retracted his left hand and said, "The object is different, junior brother, your idea is to borrow grain and grass from the hands of local tyrants, and my idea is to borrow grain and grass from the hands of the rogues." ”
Ma Hong sighed and said, "If the rogues have two thousand stones of grain and grass, then these rogues will definitely be difficult to deal with." ”
Liu Ye nodded and said: "It's really not easy to deal with, Le led 5,000 troops to attack Xu Gan in Shaobi Lake three times, but he returned three times in vain." I want to take this opportunity to pull out this thorn for Le, and by the way, raise food and grass. ”
Ma Hong said: "The rogue who can't be destroyed by 5,000 troops, senior brother, you want to destroy it with 300 people, it seems that senior brother you are going to take a risk." ”
Liu Ye sighed and said, "If you don't take the dangerous road, you can't get out of danger." ”
Ma Hong smiled: "This sentence is good, so senior brother, how many people are there in the *Liukou?" ”
"There are about 1,300 young and strong soldiers, they are stationed in Shaobi Lake, guarding in danger, and on weekdays, the rogues attack the fishermen in boats, or board the shore to grab food and women and then escape in a fast boat, Yuan Shu's army has always had no way to do it."
Liu Ye put his finger into the lamp oil, then took it out and put it on the burning wick, a flame burned on his finger, and then Liu Ye immediately clenched his fist to extinguish the flame.
Ma Hong poured a cup of tea, took two sips, and then said to Liu Ye: "Then let our brothers and sisters destroy this gangster!" ”
Liu Ye sighed, stretched out his hand to high-five Ma Hong, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, full of manliness, senior brother likes you more and more." ”
Ma Hong smiled slightly and said, "If the senior brother is in danger, I will accompany the senior brother into the dangerous place to take a look." ”
