For Li Jin, this is a peach in return, but for Wen Chou, this is a kind of good cause and good effect.

At this time, seeing Wen Chou turning his eyes to him, Li Jin smiled and said: "The lieutenant's plan to set up a horse to serve the mountain, although I knew it for a long time, I was present at the time, but I just watched and listened, and I didn't come up with a plan or a strategy, and this victory is all due to the lieutenant." How can I take the work of a lieutenant? Let's ask the lieutenant to tell the king about the battle. ”

Although Li Jin would be wrong, he also let Wen Chou know that he could answer Liu Yuzhi's question. He calmly and gently recounted the story of the battle. After listening carefully, Liu Yu clapped his hands and praised: "The lieutenant is brilliant in resourcefulness!" If ordinary people were assassinated, they would have been frightened to death, but the lieutenant thought of this plan when the assassin was on his head. Amazing, amazing. ”

Huang Ming said with a smile on the side seat under the hall: "The lieutenant attacked Montenegro from the state before, and the enemy is still not afraid, Ling Gang is invincible, and how many assassins are there?" The so-called hope for danger and danger is talking about people like lieutenants. ”

Everyone in the hall, Guofu Huang Zong, Zhishu Feng Shang, the confessor Du Gu, and Langzhong Yao Xie were all praised, but the servant He Fa sat speechless. Wen Chou said in his heart: "Li Jin said that what law is upright and serious, it seems that it is true. ”

In the past few months of chaos in Montenegro, Liu Yu has no appetite to eat during the day, and he can't sleep well at night, only to feel that his head is always shrouded in a thick shadow, and he doesn't know when he will die in the thief, he is frightened and frightened, and he has lost more than 20 pounds.

He said to Wen Chou: "Lieutenant, I heard Duan Jun say that a group of thieves gather in the black and western valleys in the west of the country, disturbing the counties and townships, and there is a famous king. It has the largest number of people, numbering 10,000 people. I don't know if it's true or not? ”

"Among the thieves in the West and Black Valleys, Wang Dang is indeed the most numerous, but there are not 10,000 people, at most more than 3,000."

Tian Feng was able to do things, although he had not yet found out the details of the rest of the Black Mountain and the thieves in the Western and Black Valleys. But an approximate idea is already known. Tian Feng knows, and Wen Chou also knows. There was warm soup on the case, and he dipped his finger in the soup at the moment, and roughly drew the topography of Changshan Country on the case, dripping water as a mountain, drawing a line as a river, and pointing to the west of the county, starting from Wang Dang in the north to the southernmost part of the Zuo Whisker Division, which had been wiped out. The trick Yuan Hao probed the situation one by one.

A full house of people listened to him talk. After he said that, the national master Huang Zong sighed: "Although I have lived in the country for a long time, I only know the details of the thieves in the valleys of the West and the Black Mountains. I'm ashamed of the lieutenant. ”

Fu does not participate in state affairs. However, because of the responsibility of "guiding the king to goodness", he has a very high status in the country. "Etiquette is like a teacher, not a minister".

Wen Chou has no hatred for Huang Zong, and the degree of respect is even greater than that of Li Jin. However, his respect is not entirely due to Huang Zong's transcendent status in the country, nor because of his virtue in the country, but mainly because of Huang Zong's origin.

Liu Yu said happily: "Although the mountain hides thieves, the state has a lieutenant." Lonely can sleep peacefully. ”

Wen Chou knew that the world was going to be chaotic, and he intended to do something in the post of lieutenant of Changshan Kingdom, he only had the right to manage the army, not the right to manage the people, money, and food, and wanted to do something. It is necessary to get the support of all the officials in the country, at least not to be opposed by them, and at this time everyone is very satisfied with him, and he said: "Then He Fa was originally upright, and he didn't say a word, but at this time he also praised me." Xu Zijiang's praise seems to be stronger than the two thousand steps under my command! Satisfaction is a matter of the heart, on the surface uphold the consistent self-modesty, he modestly said to Liu Yu, "Ugly fortunate to be prepared, knowledge is shallow, only know how to be loyal to the king, and then die." ”

He paused, and then said: After Sun Qingfu Fa and Zhang Yan escaped, the rest of the Black Mountain in Jizhou fled into the mountains, hiding in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao, and Wei Zhudi, as the ugly Fang Cai said, in addition to the left beard, there are still many black mountains such as Huang Beard in the country, and there are many thieves who took advantage of the chaos, and there are many thieves, many of them are nearly 10,000, and there are three or four hundred, and there are all kinds of them, and there are nearly 50,000 or even more than 50,000 in total. Therefore, I thought that the king and the princes should not take lightly the thieves in the west and the black valley because of a small victory in Mafu Mountain. ”

Li Jin bowed his head and said, "The lieutenant is very true. "Ask Wen Chou," since the lieutenant knows all about the thief, then he must have a strategy to quell the thief, and I would like to hear it. ”

Attacking the thieves in Xishan and Montenegro is related to the safety of Changshan Kingdom, and it is related to everyone's net worth and life and future career.

Wen Chou said in his heart: "My 'peace thief strategy' can't be told to you. ”

After returning, he thought about it day and night, and he already had a draft of how to "calm the thief". However, his manuscript is not all about "flat thieves", but more about how to take the opportunity to expand his strength. Such as controlling the county soldiers, recruiting the brave, controlling the city defense, and so on. He can't say these things bluntly, he has to change his face and say it differently.

In this regard, he was prepared and said: "There are only two ways to be ugly." ”

"Two ways? What is it? Say it! ”

"First, epidemic prevention."

Huang Ming said: "Epidemic prevention? ”

"Only in the two battles of Zhending and Jiumen, there were no less than 100,000 dead in the thieves and our army, and there were also many dead in Dongjun, Runan, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. Not to mention anything else, my single part, from Yingchuan to Julu, is three times out of ten in a few months. Many soldiers and thieves died in battle, and many more civilians died in the war. Ugly from Yingchuan, through several states, counties, along the way, the dead pillow, sitting on the horse and looking at the nearsighted, near the hungry full of road, the distant corpses are all over the field, the fox takes the corpse to the nest, the jackal fights for its meat, all kinds of tragic conditions, all kinds of unbearable, only ugly to see with his own eyes, because of the war and the death of hundreds of thousands!

"So many people who died in the chaos were exposed to the sun and rain, and if they were not buried in the local area, it would inevitably cause a great epidemic. Once the epidemic resumes, it will give those unscrupulous people a chance, and I am afraid that some people will rebel again. ”

Since Huan and Ling, there have been many epidemics in the world, and these people in the temple have either experienced the epidemic, or some people in the family and clan have died in the epidemic. It's a bit of a tiger changing sè.

Li Jin said: "The lieutenant is right! I was thinking about this matter a few days ago, and I was planning to send a message to the counties, and ask the county commanders and governors of the counties to send people to each township and li, urging the township Qiang Fu and Li Zhili Kui to bury the dead properly. ”

Liu Yu asked: "Epidemic prevention is the first, what is the second?" ”

"Prepare food."

"Food?"

"This year's thieves have delayed planting, and thieves have plundered counties and townships. He also robbed the people's grain reserves, and now the autumn harvest has passed, and the people are still lacking, and they are very afraid. There are not many warehouses in the country, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sympathize with them when they arrive. If this happens, the people will be many thieves. Ugly thinks, it is advisable to prepare as soon as possible, so as to make the valley in case of urgency. ”

Li Jin nodded again and again and said, "What the lieutenant said is very true. I am deeply concerned about this, too. ......, it's just that after the chaos, all the counties and countries in Jizhou are short of food, but where does this food come from? ”

Wen Chou said in his heart: "Food is grown, not falling from the sky." If you want to get food, there are naturally only two ways, or plant. Or grab. Now it's too late to plant, so there's only one left to grab. ”

Who's robbing? Whoever has food grabs whom. Who has the grain? Haoqiang, big surname.

He watched them quietly. I saw: Liu Yu was worried, Huang Zong frowned, Huang Ming scratched his head, and he groaned. Clearly, they were struggling to figure out how to get their food. He said in his heart: "Liu Yu and Huang Zong have lived in China for a long time, and they may not know about the thieves in the mountains. But they must understand the situation of the wealthy families and big surnames in the country, and they will not know that these powerful and big surnames are all rich and rich in grain, but looking at their bitter and worried looks, it is obvious that they have not thought about this aspect at all. ”

Li Jin, Huang Zong, Huang Ming, and He Fa were either born into a scholar clan or from a powerful family, so of course they would not make up their minds about their own class. Not bad. They are not from Changshan Country, the Haoqiang and Shi clan of Changshan Country seem to have nothing to do with them, they robbed and robbed, and the robbers are the Haoqiang and Shi clan of Changshan Country anyway, but don't forget, there are also local officials in their hometowns, if they start this and the local officials in their hometowns do the same, what should they do? It is one thing to crack down on the powerful and the powerful, but it is another thing to crack down on the unscrupulous and powerful surnames, and it is another thing to take food from them by forcibly taking food from them, and this kind of behavior will hurt their own interests.

Huang Ming scratched his head and sighed, and said: "Painting bread can't satisfy hunger, and it can't be turned into food out of thin air." Alas, this grain is not good. ......, I wonder if the lieutenant has a good plan? ”

Wen Chouxin said: "I have just arrived, although I have won a small victory, and I have Li Jin's words of 'entrusting me with all the military affairs', but I can only be regarded as having just gained a foothold in Changshan Country, and I can't say anything if I ask Haoqiang and my surname for food." Even if he spoke, it could not come from his mouth. He sighed secretly, and thought again: "Alas, it is hateful and annoying to see the empty grain depot but not be able to take it. That's it, I'll concentrate on solving the county soldiers and city defense matters first, and then think about good strategies to solve this matter. ”

He replied solemnly: "To the grain and the people, this is civil. Lieutenants, military positions, this is not ugly. Ugly is the only prime minister. ”

Huang Ming lowered his head and pondered for a while, but there was no way to get food, he knew his own family affairs, and knew that he was not the material for governing the people and relieving the worries of the county and the country, so he said in his heart: "What the lieutenant said is very true, giving grain and caring for the people is civil, and it is the matter of the minister of state. Lieutenant is a military position, and it is not appropriate to speak; I am in charge of the Su Wei and Shaofu, and I have nothing to do with civil affairs, so I should not say it. ”

He glanced at Li Jin, who was sitting opposite, and said in his heart: "Let the Minister of State worry about this matter!" As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt relaxed, and said to Wen Chou with a smile, "Xiangjun asked the lieutenant what his strategy was, and the lieutenant replied with two strategies: one is epidemic prevention, and the other is to prepare food. "Yi" cloud: "A gentleman thinks about trouble and precautions". Prevention is better than prevention, this is adherent, but why is the lieutenant not as good as the specific strategy of the thief? ”

Liu Yu, Li Jin, Huang Zong, and He Fa listened to Huang Ming's question, and they all withdrew their minds, focused on Wen Chou, and listened to him.

Huang Ming couldn't think of a way to raise food, so he simply stopped thinking about it, it seemed that he was not in his position, he didn't seek his government, but in fact, it was a manifestation of his lack of responsibility, he was a son of the eunuch family, and he didn't have to worry about having nowhere to go, even if he waited until next spring, because of the lack of food, the thieves in Changshan Country were rampant, and he couldn't stay, he could also transfer to another place Since this is the case, why should he worry about it?

Compared with thieves and food, he was more interested in Wen Chou's specific strategy for leveling thieves, and he pondered: "Wei has fought in several states, and his military achievements are great, he is a good general, if I can take this opportunity to contribute some strength and earn some military merits, but I can also brag to my relatives and friends in Luoyang."

The two Han Dynasty attach great importance to military merits, and all those who want to win military merits are all for the sake of fame Huang Ming, but he is not, he is good, the purpose of earning military merits is just to wait for him to return to Luoyang in the future to brag to his fox friends and dog friends that his thoughts are known by those children of the Han family who were born and died with Wen Chou, I am afraid that most of them will change Nirvana, or they will be saddened that the eunuchs are in power, and they actually make such characters ascend to the position of a thousand stones, but they make talented people resentful of their hometowns, or simply scold, of course, there may also be envy Huang Ming has a good father

Huang Ming's careful thoughts, the people in the hall didn't know

However, his question is also the most concerned by everyone, because they all take back their minds, pay attention to the ugliness, and listen to him

Before Wen Chou could say anything, Huang Zong suddenly remembered something, turned his eyes to look at Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, got up and said: "Hit the mountain and level the thief, this county matter is also, you should say it in the Prime Minister's Mansion"

Just now, Minister Li Jin asked Wen Chou's peace thief strategy, Wen Chou said "epidemic prevention" and "food preparation" two, these two are general, in the palace Chen said that it is no harm, but to the specific thief strategy, this is Changshan State's "military affairs" Han law prohibits the princes and kings from participating in political affairs, and the military is not allowed to participate in the pre-military Huang Zong is the national master, the job is to "guide the king to goodness", what is "good", for the princes and kings, good is loyalty, filial piety and law-abiding So, after he reacted, he immediately spoke out to prevent Wen Chou from stating his strategy in the palace

Li Jin also came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "What Huang Gong said is true"

Liu Yu, the king of Zhao, knew about it, and immediately smiled: "Twilight is coming, since the princes still have to discuss the strategy of leveling the thief, they will not stay together."

He got up from the table and sent them out of the temple

Walking to the door of the palace, he smiled and said to Wen Chou: "Today I wanted to set up a banquet for Wei to celebrate his achievements, but the thief is a big matter, so I have to say another day that Wei is from Yuzhou, or I don't know my Jizhou products, wait for Wei to have time, and set up a banquet Chen Song and Dance to wait for the princes and captains: the young fetus of the scorching leopard, the big carp of the Bohai Sea, the beauty of the Shengji wilderness, the winter brew of Bushan, so that the Luancheng demon girl is dedicated to the public table, Fu Xiang elder, the right of the seat, Yu Shaogui, heroic, the lonely king accompanies the side of the seat, and the talent dance of the Guan Yuan clan, (to be continued.) )
