Chapter 36 Both civil and military
Gao Huan was in the government office in Julu City, and there were all kinds of official letters on the desk, and he was dizzy when he saw it, which was not wishful thinking, Gao Huan found that he was really not suitable for dealing with these delicate internal affairs issues, and he could not handle everything properly, reasonably and rigorously. In my previous life, when I was a business manager in a decoration company, I felt that I was a good seedling with good eloquence and outstanding ability, but now it seems that I am overestimating my ability. If he marches and fights, Gao Huan is a good hand now, but when dealing with internal affairs, he still needs to be mentioned by his teacher.
Gao Huan rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, I need to find an all-rounder like Zhuge Liang to help me, otherwise I will die of exhaustion in this pile of official letters sooner or later. As the saying goes, there are many thousand miles, and Bole is hard to find, Gao Huan is now Bole, but there are few Maxima who can catch the eye.
Putting down the official letter in his hand, Gao Huan took a sip of the teacup, and then looked at the middle bureaucrats in the audience and said: "At present, the bandits are intermittent, they can't be cleaned up, and there are many local forces who are not convinced, do you have any good ways to say it and discuss it?" ”
A wingman stood up and said: "I think these problems are trivial, and as a general, you will order the whole state, and there is no disobedience." I think the problem we are facing at present is how to solve the livelihood of the people in Dingzhou, as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, the problem of banditry will naturally be lifted. ”
Gao Huan listened to him shaking his head and saying a bunch of nonsense, and he was very angry, damn take my money every month and talk some nonsense. Then he said indifferently: "I know what you said, I need you to give me a specific plan that can be implemented, don't talk to me about empty words!" The last sentence raised the tone of Gao Huan's voice.
The staff member looked embarrassed and said weakly: "This ......, we still need to allow the villain and his colleagues to think again...... Specific scenarios. ”
"Hmph, when the book is used, you usually talk about the scriptures and the Tao in one set, I spent a lot of money to invite you to be a staff member, but now I can't even think of a way to implement it, what's the use of asking you to talk here every day?" Gao Huan is now full of aura as the boss of the civil officials, but he didn't know anything about internal affairs before, and he definitely didn't dare to shout at the internal affairs civil officials.
Everyone in the audience had a difficult look on their faces, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing, this is a staff member named Xu Mingzhi got up and said: "General Huiyu, a person who is recognized in the next place, this person knows the heavens and the earth and the earth, both civil and military, if you can ask him to come out to help, you will be completely relieved in the future in terms of internal affairs." ”
Maxima is coming? Gao Huan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Who are you talking about?" Where is it now? ”
Xu Mingzhi said slowly: "He is a classmate under the surname Murong Shan Heng, this person has empty ambitions, but because of the darkness of officialdom, he has repeatedly failed, and he is currently living in seclusion in his hometown Fan Yang to be a teacher. ”
Gao Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly came down to take Xu Mingzhi's hand and said happily: "If it is really as Mr. said, this person is a rare talent, I am willing to pay a lot of money to hire him and let him serve under my account." May the sir introduce me. ”
Xu Mingzhi was a little flattered and said: "I am determined to live up to my mission and live up to the trust of the general." Gao Huan immediately ordered someone to get the money, and he personally wrote an invitation letter and handed it to Xu Mingzhi, and on the same day, Xu Mingzhi left Julu and went north to Fanyang to ask Murong Heng to come out of the mountain. That's for later.
"General Qiyu, there is an official army outside the city, and the leading general wants to see you by name." The Colonel returned outside the door. In the house, Gao Huan, Gao Yue and the others were still discussing the elimination of several bandits near the giant deer, Gao Yue said a little angrily: "What kind of birdman is making noise outside, I'll take a look!" Who is the general who can see him if he wants? Then he turned around and put on his clothes and went out.
Outside Julu City, the 8,000 men and horses led by Gao Qian were already sleepy and tired, and the grain and grass were also exhausted, so they happened to go to Gao Huan's station, wanting to borrow some grain and grass from him. This Gao Qian is also in his twenties and thirties, a Bohai person, and he was born in a famous family. Three months ago, he was ordered by the Heavenly King Er Zhu Rong to clear the horse thieves in the Xiangzhou area, and pursued all the way to Dingzhou, but was ambushed by the rebels of Zhao County, and lost all the grain and grass and suffered heavy losses. Only then did I go to the Julu area to eat, but now there are continuous natural and man-made disasters, and there is no place where there is enough food to feed a foreign army, so the three months of Gao Qianchao are very miserable, and they are almost up the mountain.
I heard others say that Gao Huan, the assassin of Dingzhou, has money and grain in Jizhou, and is a rich man, Gao Qian plans to borrow some grain from this brother of his own family five hundred years ago with a thick face.
Gao Yue stood up to the city tower with his escorts, pointed at Gao Gan standing at the suspension bridge under the city, and asked loudly: "Who is the person under the city who dares to violate my border?" ”
Gao Gan threw his hand on the horse, and replied loudly: "I am the general of the Chinese army, Gao Gan is also, these days in Dingzhou to exterminate the bandits, because of the heavy robbery, the army has little food, I heard that General Shi Gao is in Julu, I came to ask for help." ”
Gao Yue snorted coldly in his heart: The bandits were robbed, seeing that you are also a waste, and you still want to borrow food from my master, you didn't wake up! Thinking of this, Gao Yue replied: "Since it is an official army, why don't you go back to the garrison to eat, it is useless to come to us to assassinate history, our army is still taking care of military rations." ”
"If I can still take the army back to Luoyang to eat, how can I find your family to assassinate the history? The bandits in this Dingzhou area are all in turmoil, your family assassin history can't be suppressed by yourself, you who came to help me should have given me military rations, but now with this rhetoric, I'm afraid that no one will help your family assassin history in the future. "Gao Qian was a little unable to suppress his anger.
"This doesn't bother the general, please hurry up!" Gao Yue is also on the tower of the city.
When the Gao Qianjun downstairs heard that Gao Huan refused to borrow grain, they immediately shouted and scolded loudly, and they were gearing up to enter the city to grab money and grain. Gao Qian is also angry now, he has no way to suppress a group of hungry male soldiers to walk a few hundred miles back to the Luoyang garrison with him, and the damn robbery will be robbed, and he will be released!
Seeing the chaos under the city, Gao Yue hurriedly ordered the sergeants to be vigilant and prepare to prevent Gao Qian's army from attacking the city gate. The two parties were in a tense moment that was about to erupt, only to hear Gao Huan shouting: "Calm down!" Listen to me. ”
Gao Huan came up to the city tower with his personal guards, glared at Gao Yue, and then turned his head to Gao Qian under the city tower and said loudly: "Since General Gao has come to ask for help, how can I, He Liuhun, refuse people thousands of miles away, quickly open the city gate and put down the drawbridge, and invite General Gao and his entourage to enter the city." ”
Gao Yue was depressed and went to prepare food for Gao Gan's 8,000 men and horses outside the city, there were not so many troops living in the city, and Gao Huan would not let them enter the city, so Gao Gan's army set up camp five miles away from the city and reorganized it, waiting for Gao Huan's grain and grass relief. Gao Qian himself brought more than a dozen generals and entourage into the city, and Gao Huan specially prepared a banquet for them to catch the wind and wash the dust.
At the banquet, everyone drank very happily, after three rounds of wine and five flavors, one of Gao Qian's generals got up drunkly and said to Gao Huan: "Hey, hey, General Gao, today you have the vision to let us into the city, otherwise we can only set fire to the city outside the city and rob the village." ”
Gao Huan frowned when he heard this, Gao Qian turned his face and scolded: "Drink some wine and go crazy?" The bastard who is full of nonsense still doesn't pay General Gao, right? A vigorous rush at the colonel squeezed his eyebrows and made his eyes wink.
Who knew that the general actually ignored Gao Qian's hard work, and said loudly: "Isn't it compensation?" There are two Gao generals here, and the villain doesn't know who to compensate, hahahaha......" The generals and colonels who came with Gao Qian laughed.
"Is this bullying me for being weak and incompetent?" Gao Huan was a little unhappy in his heart. Thinking that everyone is a brother of the party-state, I kindly let you into the city, but you are full of food and drink but use Lao Tzu for entertainment?
Gao Yue, who was at the head of the city, got up and said angrily: "Since you don't know who General Gao is, I will let you know him today!" With that, he pulled out the sword in his hand and jumped to the center of the hall and said, "Come out, I'll try it with you!" ”
Gao Huan hurriedly got up and said: "Gao Yue must not be rude, the person who came is a guest, presumably this general has drunk too much, I won't care about his words." After that, he also picked up the ancestral Pu knife and walked off the stage, and said slowly: "Speaking of the competition, I think about it, today's grand event, drinking should be enjoyable, wouldn't it be better if you danced a sword technique again?" Then the head of the knife pointed at the general: "How about you come out and dance with me?" ”
The general was drunk and wanted to come forward to fight, but was stopped by Gao Gan, Gao Gan turned his face and said to Gao Huan very apologetically: "General Gao is angry, this guy drank a few more cups and said a few drunken words, if General Gao is really interested in sword dancing, I am willing to teach the general." ”
"It's okay for you to come, let's make a casual gesture and liven up the atmosphere." Gao Huan said: I wanted to settle accounts with you, but I didn't lead the troops well, and I brought my subordinates like bandits, if I don't teach me a lesson, you really treat me as a sick cat. Then he rolled up the belt of his robe and rolled up his sleeves, and Pu Dao came out of the sheath to make a gesture of invitation, and said, "You and I will stop at the end of the order, and have fun." ”
Gao Qian was not informal, took off his helmet and drew his saber and walked to the middle of the hall, took a deep breath, put on a posture of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and said, "General Gao, look carefully." Immediately, the sword came out like a rainbow, and Gao Huan came down three ways.
Gao Huan Pu knife blocked, backhand slashed up, Gao Gan turned over to dodge, and immediately stabbed again, Gao Huan hurriedly dodged sideways, a relaxed two-finger sword bounced off Gao Gan's blade, turned around and slashed at Gao Gan with a pu knife. The two advanced and retreated, divided and combined, and fought for thirty or fifty rounds without winning or losing, and everyone in the hall watching couldn't take their eyes off it, and unconsciously cheered loudly.
The more Gao Qian fought in his heart, the more he admired, it seems that this He Liuhun is really worthy of his reputation and martial arts. Parrying Gao Huan's Pu Dao, Gao Qianfei retreated outside the circle, and said loudly with his hand: "General Gao's knife skills are profound, and I admire it and voluntarily admit defeat." ”
Gao Huan was almost tired, of course, he got off the donkey down the slope, withdrew the Pu Dao and arched his hand: "General Miao praised, you and I are equal in strength, and we don't know whether you win or lose." Then he turned back to Gao Yue and said, "Bring the wine, I want to drink three glasses with General Gao." ”
"Hahaha, good! I just like the general's boldness! We don't get drunk today! Gao Qian also swept away his previous mentality of despising Gao Huan, and instead wanted to make friends with him with great admiration. As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other.
Gao Gan's troops were temporarily stationed in Julu, and Gao Huan also felt that he still needed his help to clear up the bandits in Dingzhou, so he invited Gao Gan and his generals to drink in the city for a small banquet in three days and a big banquet in five days.
On this day, Xu Mingzhi, who went to Fanyang to invite Murong Heng, also returned to Julu.
"How did you get from this trip, sir, is Murong Heng willing to serve under my account?" Gao Huan asked eagerly.
"I am fortunate to live up to my mission and bring Murong Heng to meet the general together." Xu Mingzhi replied proudly.
"Good! , where is Mr. Murong now? Take me to him! Gao Huan's thirst for Murong Heng was like pursuing the woman he loved, and now that it was close at hand, he was anxiously scratching his ears and cheeks.
"This man is waiting outside the door to be summoned." Xu Mingzhi said calmly.
"I'm dizzy, how can you treat the gentleman who invited you like this? We all went to meet him at the door. Even if Gao Huan pretended, he had to pretend to be thirsty for talent, and Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang after looking at the thatched house.
Murong Heng was dressed in a gray robe, his hair was raised in a high bun, he had a goatee and a thin face, but he looked like a Taoist priest in the mountains and a detached appearance.
Gao Huan was naturally quite happy to see the deity, and said words of admiration and admiration again and again. For the so-called hermit, you always have to satisfy his strong sense of vanity. Now that Gao Huan feels that he has both civil and military skills, it should be no problem to clean up Dingzhou and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
