Chapter 212 There is no need to worry about the abundant food, and the water is muddy
How much is the military capital of Pengcheng and Donghai that Kan Xuan plundered, I heard Jia Xuyan before that it is worth two years of income from the three counties and three places of Xuzhou, although I think it is a lot, but it is only an approximate number, until I see the bags of corn and gold and copper that were moved out of the cave piled up like a hill, almost half of the valley that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and only half of it was cleared, so that Qin Xu had to sigh that when Xuzhou was rich, how did Kan Xuan's rebel army of only about 2,000 people send so many goods and goods here, Very curious. It's a pity that from the time of aiding Xuzhou, Qin Xu has never seen the figure of Kan Xuan, who dares to call himself the Son of Heaven, from beginning to end, and it is estimated that eighty percent was disposed of by the rest of the party after having no use value, which made Qin Xu feel sorry.
"Brother Zhongming, why do you want to let this potter go? Brother, I held back for more than half a year, and it was easy to wait until there was a big war to have a good time, but I didn't expect that in the end, the yellow turban thief ran away, and the potter's house was also let go by you, so that my brother and I were happy for nothing......" Although he couldn't suppress the joy on his face, Cheng Lian still said to Qin Xu with some complaints.
"This, this time it's really the little brother's wrong ......" Qin Xu was sighing Kan Xuan's amazing means of collecting money and hiding money, and Cheng Lian, who was unexpectedly brought over, complained like a resentful woman, and felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had promised Cheng Lian before, and the promise would definitely make him happy, but the fact made people happy, and said to Cheng Lian with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "But this matter of the potter, not to mention that the Danyang soldiers are the elite of the world after all, although we people are undoubtedly victorious, there will inevitably be big casualties." I can't get it; If it really hurts the pottery merchants, it will inevitably cause the two states of Qingxu to turn against each other, and it will also be very detrimental to the strategy of the lord and Xuzhou. The purpose of swaying us is these grains, grasses and military resources, and it is not a bad idea to let them retreat without using swords! Besides, at present, the drought in Qingzhou has just started, and the people's hearts in various counties and counties are fluctuating, and maintaining stability is the first priority. I can't beat it! ”
"Zhong Ming's actions are all the lord's father, and he knows it well. I also understand the difficulties of the lord now, those people from the scholar family are all twists and turns with flowery intestines. After all, they don't have the same heart as me. Just now, we just talked about it, and my brother didn't have to take it to heart. Seeing that Qin Xu actually gave himself up in a serious way, Cheng Lian was also a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "But then again." We have been following the Lord for a long time. It feels like I'm always running around, and there are frequent wars, but once this calms down, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it. ”
"Lao Cheng, are you using words to squeeze Qin?" Qin Xu listened to what Cheng Lian said, paused slightly, and saw that although this "old" general of Lu Bujun's mouth didn't care, he still felt a little lonely, and Qin Xu, who had been following Lu Bu for a long time. Naturally, he understood the persistent desire of these generals for the battlefield, and shook his head and smiled. said to Cheng Lian in a low voice: "But Lao Cheng, don't be too disappointed, today is just more than a thousand Danyang soldiers, even if it really fights, it's just a small fight, how about a big battle for you in a few days?" But when the time comes, you have to guard this Jinan city for the lord! ”
"What do you mean by that, brother?" Cheng Lian originally thought that this time would be the life of the coachman, but when he suddenly heard what Qin Xu said, his eyes suddenly flashed a little bright, and he asked again and again.
"Ahem, Lao Cheng, do you know that now is not only the beginning of the Qingzhou disaster, as far as I know, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Sili, Yongliang and other large states in the south have not been affected, except for a few large states such as Jing, Yang, Yi, Jiao and other large states in the south, more than half of the states and counties in the Han Dynasty have been affected to some extent."
"So what? These states are generally affected by disasters like Qingzhou, so it is possible that God can still favor anyone. I don't understand why Qin Xu suddenly fell on top of the catastrophe again, Cheng Lian interjected and asked.
"But they don't have food in Qingzhou!" Qin Xu pointed to the mountains of grain and grass in front of him, and had already begun to urgently transfer large trucks of grain and grass from Jinan City and said: "Jiaozhou is too far away, Youzhou is bitterly cold, Jingyang has many waterways, and Yizhou has natural risks. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, including Tao Qian, who has always been humble and wronged to the lord, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? will definitely make some moves in Qingzhou, and that's when you need to serve as a military general like Lao Cheng. ”
"Since that's the case, then if I let go of the potter, won't it cause trouble for Qingzhou out of thin air?" Seeing that Qin Xu didn't look like he was being alarmist, Cheng Lian also realized the seriousness of the problem, his brows furrowed, and said.
"How can there be an impermeable wall in the world? Will the remnants of the original Xuzhou Yellow Turban thieves who have escaped really have the intention of serving the lord? I didn't wait for him, he worked hard and exhausted, and even didn't hesitate to use things like the Kong family, so could it be that he would keep it secret for us? The potter is just a small pawn, and it is useless to kill him! Instead of letting everyone's eyes be on Qingzhou, it is better to let go of the potters and let them go dog-eat-dog to muddy the waters, and we can mediate a thing or two from it. Besides, there is really the idea of those who dare to fight our Qingzhou, is it possible that I will be afraid of them? ”
"If you don't say that your brother is valued by the lord, and the eldest lady is such a good girl to you, just this vision, our old achievements are not as good as it, and we are not convinced a few times before, trying to bet with your brother, and the result is that you have been led to a horse several times! Come on, it's better to hurry up and transport so much military grain and grass back to Linzi as soon as possible, I don't think the thief of the potter is not like a master who can bear it, and he has to prevent him from secretly cheating. Cheng Lian was comfortably tightened by Qin Xu's few faintly praised words, relying on his personal relationship with Qin Xu is quite good, and there is no more door in his mouth, it is obviously a good word to say, but it is like sarcasm, which makes Qin Xu helpless, and there are a few more black lines on his head.
I don't know if Cheng Lian mistook a look at the pottery merchant, or if the eldest son of the Tao family was really "influenced" by Qin Xu, until it took nearly a whole day to empty Kan Xuan's collection and transport it to Jinan City at night, and there was no reoccurrence of incidents, but it made Cheng Lian, who still had some hopes for the Tao Chamber of Commerce, depressed.
"Master Qin, Sima Dubo in the camp asks to see you!" Just as Qin Xu was dealing with it, he was speechless about so many grains, grasses, and military resources that appeared out of thin air. When Lai was beside Mi Fang, who didn't dare to ask questions, Lao Xu's report relieved Qin Xu.
"Brother Zifang, the origin of this batch of grain and grass military funds is not Qin Mou's deception to you. I really know that this matter is not good for you and the Mi family, and Xu is really inconvenient to say. But don't worry, the second brother, if you can talk about it, Xu will definitely be the first to tell you, how about it? "It's no wonder that Mi Fang, who was born in the family of Jujia and is accustomed to seeing big scenes, can't bear his curiosity, if there is a force that can still take out so much grain and grass and military funds to serve Lu Bu when the catastrophe is approaching the soaring price of grain, then the influence of the Mi family in Lu Bu's army. Although there is such a sister-in-law as Qin Xu, and the convenience of making sea salt, it will be greatly discounted. I can't help but be careless. Qin Xu was in the business world in his previous life, and he was very considerate of Mi Fang's thoughts of gain and loss, but now the Mi family is still under the protection of Tao Qian in Xuzhou, even if the Qingzhou soldiers under Lu Bu have successfully taken over the defense of Xiapi City. The three major families in Xuzhou also secretly expressed their willingness to be effective. But after all, the current Xuzhou Mu is still Tao Qian, although he does not dare to provoke the Qingzhou Lu Bu forces with strong military strength in front of the door, but it is not too much trouble to secretly give the Mi family eye medicine. After all, Mi Zhen in his backyard is from the Mi family, and at this stage, Qingzhou also urgently needs to rely on the power of the Mi family, Qin Xu doesn't want to let the Mi family get involved in this lawsuit so quickly.
"Since Zhong Ming has something unspeakable, Mi doesn't ask! We are our own people, is it possible that Mi will worry that Zhong Ming will calculate the Mi family? Hearing that Qin Xu even called out the second brother's title from Mi Zhen's treatment, Mi Fang was slightly relieved. Seeing that Sima Mao and Kong Chang, the head of the Kong family who often dealt with him, walked in, he didn't continue to entangle. Quite embarrassed to laugh at himself, and did not forget to remind Qin Xu of the relationship between the Mi family again, the sneering Chong Sima Mao and the disillusioned Kong Chang arched their hands and left without knowing why.
"Dead cat, Kong Hucao, you haven't gone to rest like this, what's the matter here?" Seeing the look in Sima Mao's eyes when he came in, and Kong Chang's appearance as if he might not be able to support it at any time, Qin Xu knew that he was afraid that this Kong Chang was probably following Jiang Jun, who was said to have a good relationship with him, and was cleaned up by Sima Mao's self-proclaimed "very dirty" method, so he pretended not to know at the moment, and asked the two of them.
"Master Qin, Kong is guilty! Kong is ignorant! To be tempted by a traitor to dare to do such a thing is really a sin that deserves death! I also hope that Master Qin's book will start from scratch, that is, he will cut off Kong's rectification, and Kong will never complain! Maybe Qin Xu's acting skills are too good, or Sima Mao didn't mention Qin Xu at all, this is because Kong Chang, the head of the Kong family, couldn't help but tremble slightly since he saw Qin Xu, his chubby body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof", and on his pale face, there were faint tears in his thin eyes.
"Confucius, why is that? Qin heard the words recommended by the three gentlemen who governed Jinan, and they all said that Kong Hu Cao was a capable official of the pillar stone of Jinan, and was about to inquire about the political affairs of Jinan, but Kong Hu Cao said that he was guilty at this time, which made Qin quite incomprehensible! Qin Xu saw that the fat old man seemed to be really frightened, and after getting Sima Mao's affirmative look, he asked tepidly.
"Kong, Kong is guilty, let the Qin master book fall ......" Kong Chang saw that although Qin Xu said gently, he was not too surprised by his current situation, where did he not understand that there must be this gentle and elegant Qin master book mixed with it, raised his head and looked at Sima Mao who glanced at him from time to time, the beads of sweat on Kong Chang's forehead became more and more, as if he had let go of something, his eyes were a little less bright, and he sighed heavily, and poured beans into a bamboo tube, and told the past one by one, It is not much different from Qin Xu's previous inference that the Yellow Turban Yu was looking for Kong Chang's purpose, and Kong Chang's intention to be left and right, the only difference is that although Kong Chang's family members were not violated, they were really forcibly detained in a room by the Yellow Turban Yu Xian, who had a good relationship with Kong Chang before, in order to make a pledge for deterrence. It's no wonder that Qin Xu has always been unable to figure out why the bruises on the hands of the Kong family members don't seem to be fake.
"Oh, why was Kong Hucao so confused before!" Qin Xu didn't care that Kong Chang had already seen that he was also involved in this matter, and still made a look of pity, and personally helped Kong Chang, who was almost soaked in sweat, up, with a warm and comforting look, and said: "But the sage of your family once said that people who are not saints and sages can be without fault, and they can improve greatly, I believe that Kong Hucao can tell the past at this moment, and he must have repentance, right?" ”
"This ...... Kong confessed his guilt and let the master of Qin dispose of it! Kong Chang saw that what Qin Xu said seemed to be loose, and he couldn't figure out what Qin Xu meant for a while, so he cautiously glanced at Sima Mao on the side, forcibly suppressed the general joy of the rest of his life, made a look of bowing his head and confessing, and said.
"Hmm! Kong Hucao's attitude is still very good! Qin Xu took out the trick he learned by chance from a certain novel officialdom in later generations, sighed slightly, and said: "But if this happens, this Cao can't do it." But it makes Qin embarrassed, and he really can't bear to be idle like Wen Shu, so it's better to be like this, Qin's father-in-law and your brother are busy with the affairs of my Qingzhou Jixia School Palace, and I have heard Wen Shu for a long time that your research on family studies is also quite deep, why don't you go to the Jixia School Palace to be a teacher? First, you can temporarily avoid the limelight, and you can get together with your brother for a long time, even if Qin has arrangements for you in the future, and then it can be regarded as a favor for Qin, Jiayue is still contributing to Qingzhou in his old age, and Qin really can't bear it.
