Chapter 37: The Conspiracy of the County Lieutenant

Half an hour later, the smell of mutton wafted through the racecourse.

Wang Shuang gave Yuan Maili to the VIP seat, and he and Hao Zhao accompanied him below. Yuan Mai said, tonight, all the brothers are born and die together, kill the enemy together, there should be difficulties to carry together, there is meat to eat together, everyone come and eat together.

After listening to Yuan Mai's instructions, all the people cheered and cheered together, and now they all sat in the open air, drinking and eating meat with Yuan Mai, and experiencing the joy of escaping death from the battlefield.

After three rounds of drinking, Wang Shuang stood up and said loudly to the field: "My Wang family has been running a horse farm for several generations, but when my father is alive, I hope that I can join the army to fight and win the title of meritorious knighthood.

Today, the four sons of the current general and the Jizhou Mu Yuan family are loved, and they do not hesitate to come to this barren mountain to recruit Wang Shuang, how fortunate they are. Therefore, he decided to abandon the horse farm and follow his son. Whether you want to go or stay is up to you. If you want to join the army, you can go to Yecheng with me tomorrow, and if you don't want to join the army, protect your widow and your wife and daughter tomorrow and go back to Longyou to join my brother......"

After listening to Wang Shuang's words, many enthusiastic field players expressed their willingness to follow the second master to serve Yuan Gongzi and gallop on the battlefield in order to seek fame.

Wang Shuang and Yuan Mai were very happy when they heard this, Yuan Mai got up and said Thank you for trusting me Yuan Mai, everyone raised the bowl and drank a bowl together.

"Second master, let's go, what should we do with this horse and the horse farm?" Tang Huan asked while wiping the mutton fat from the corner of his mouth.

Wang Shuang laughed and said, "Are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid?" I am all General Yuan's people, and these horses are naturally General Yuan's horses. ”

Wang Shuang said, turned his head to Yuan Mai and Hao Zhao and said: "Thanks to the general's love, Wang Shuang is willing to offer the horses in the racecourse, a total of three hundred and thirty-two, and I hope that the prince will accept it with a smile." ”

Yuan Mai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, now in this year, horses are scarce materials, large and small princes, and the cavalry under his command are all precious troops, even if it is a giant like Yuan Shao, close to 250,000 total troops, the cavalry is only less than 30,000 people, Wang Shuang offered more than 300 war horses at once, such a shot is really a big deal.

"Okay, Wang Ziquan is so generous, I Yuan Mai is not hypocritical, I will accept it, after I go back, I will definitely show my father the merits and loyalty of Ziquan, and ask you for the title of general!"

Yuan Mai stood up, hugged his fists and thanked Wang Shuang, and then promised to ask him for a title, more than 300 war horses were offered, coupled with Wang Shuang's martial bravery, Yuan Mai believed that Yuan Shao should give himself a face, even if he didn't give himself face, he should also give the horses face.

The value of three hundred war horses, in the time of the Second Emperor Huan Ling, was enough to donate a large official position, and Yuan Shao had no reason to refuse.

"Ah...... Haha, thank you for the general's support, and I swear to serve the general. ”

Hearing that Yuan Mai was going to ask for the title of general for himself, Wang Shuang was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to thank him. When everyone present heard that Yuan Mai was going to ask Wang Shuang for the position of general, they raised their bowls to congratulate him, proposing not to get drunk or sleep tonight.

Although General Pi was only the lowest rank among the generals, as soon as he joined the Yuan Group, he received such treatment, which still made Wang Shuang satisfied and determined to do a great job.

At this moment, the county commander and the county lieutenant of Luxian County rushed over with more than 300 servants, and the son of the lord's family came, who would dare to slack off? What's more, there was a robbery of bandits under their rule, if the son was angry and couldn't get the black yarn to protect it, it wasn't a matter of people's words!

While arranging for the troops to clean up the battlefield, the county commander and the county lieutenant asked the Fan brothers to report to Gongzi, saying that the county commander and the county lieutenant of Lu County asked to see him.

Fan Hu nodded, and went to report very proudly. A few days ago, he was just a flat-headed commoner, but now he has become the object of the local parents' officials' begging, and this change makes people feel very happy.

After a lot of effort, Fan Hu came out of the racecourse, said to the county order and the county lieutenant, Gongzi has an invitation, please come with me, and then took the two of them across the suspension bridge and entered the racecourse.

"The county order of Lu County meets the son...... "The county order Shi Li said.

"The county lieutenant of Luxian County meets the general......" the county lieutenant Shi Li said.

The titles of the two people are completely different, and Yuan Mai prefers the title of "general" relatively more, and can't help but glance at the county lieutenant, only to see that he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face, and a height of seven and a half feet, which can be regarded as dignified. Between words and deeds, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is trembling and trembling with the county order, which is very different.

"Are you two guilty?"

Yuan Mai held a wine bowl in his hand and looked at the two of them with squinted eyes, intending to scare and scare them, and knock out some bamboo poles as military pay in the name of commemorating the deceased.

"The subordinates are guilty, and the son is gracious. Mr. Wang Ziquan is the guest of honor, but he wants to say a few words for a certain kind ......"

When the county magistrate heard Yuan Mai's words, he trembled with fright, and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and pleaded with Wang Shuang, who was kneeling next to Yuan Mai.

But the county lieutenant unhurriedly defended: "What the general said is wrong, the two of us are at fault, but they are not guilty!" ”

"Oh...... Tell me about it? ”

Yuan Mai now has a good impression of this county lieutenant, and is also very interested, seeing that this person seems to be a talent, he suddenly has a heart to woo, and now he pressed his desire to ask his name, testing his opinion on this matter.

The county lieutenant hugged Yuan Mai's wrist, and said in a high-spirited manner: "On the way to the racecourse, Zhao and his subordinates captured several lost rogues, and after interrogation, it was learned that these rogues were the subordinates of Zhang Liang, the original leader of the Yellow Turban rebels, and the leader was called Zou Yan, who used to be a Yellow Turban commander.

This gang of rabble once had a huge momentum, for the sake of disaster to the party, was driven out of Bingzhou by Gao Thorn Shi and Guo Taishou led by the army, and wandered to the area of Chang'an to plunder, and recently was appointed by Prime Minister Cao Cheng Chang'an Taishou Xiahou Yuan to encircle and suppress, so they turned around and came back into Lu County, trying to take advantage of the road to go north and defect to 'Black Mountain Chu Feiyan'.

Even if they knew in advance that the Yellow Turban Bandits were preparing to cross the border, I am afraid that they would not be able to block all the roads, and at most they could only drive the Liukou away, for fear that the scourge of war would be inevitable.

Therefore, I was at fault with the county order, and the fault was that I didn't know the information in advance and reported the information about the suppression of bandits to Lord Taishou Guo Yuan, but I was not guilty...... Besides, it is not a blessing for Seon to lose his horse......"

"Oh...... A loss may turn out to be a gain? I don't know what blessing you're talking about? ”

After listening to the county lieutenant's words, Yuan Mai became more interested, so he replaced his pretending to be angry with an amiable appearance.

The county lieutenant smiled, knowing that the fourth prince was moved by what he said, and he might be appreciated by him, and it was possible to be promoted, "This blessing is yours of the son, and we will follow it, but we can't pass it on, we can only write." ”

"My blessings? Come on, prepare pen and ink! ”

Yuan Mai was confused by what the county lieutenant said, and he didn't know where the blessing came from, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare pen and ink.

After the pen and ink arrived, the county lieutenant splashed ink, not much effort, and wrote a report document with great effort, the general content is as follows: Lu County has been looted by thousands of Yellow Turban thieves in recent days, thanks to the son Yuan Mai appeared in the territory, led his subordinate officers and soldiers and local armed forces to fight back, killed more than 1,000 thieves, and beheaded Zou Yan, the former general of the Yellow Turban Army, with outstanding achievements, and the local people are all grateful to Dade.

After Yuan Mai saw it, he smiled almost from ear to ear, and scolded in his heart, "You guy looks like a talent, and you can't think of giving me such a bad idea."

However, then again, this is indeed a good way to quickly accumulate merits, and it seems that false reporting of military exploits is not the preserve of posterity.

"Well, it's well written, that's the way it is, but that Zou Yan was killed by the prince, you can add a few more strokes to him and report it to your father."

After reading it, Yuan Mai returned the document to the county lieutenant, and instructed him to write some merits for Wang Shuang, which would be conducive to his ability to obtain the position of general for him.

"Humble duty understands."

The county lieutenant took the paperwork and smiled knowingly, it seems that this boy is a smart man with a lively brain, and such a person has a great future in the future.

"What do you call the county lieutenant?"

Yuan Mai stretched out his hand and motioned for the county lieutenant and the county magistrate to sit down and drink together, and decided to recruit this quick-witted county lieutenant.

"The villain's surname is a trick, and the word is scripture."

Hearing Yuan Mai ask for his name, the county lieutenant's heart tightened, and he felt that his premeditation was likely to succeed, and the son of the state shepherd's family really took a fancy to him, so he would have a bright future.

Sitting down happily, but I didn't know that Yuan Mai was even happier than him, it was really "intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows", his trip to the party was really a good thing, he was going to recruit a Wang Shuang, but he didn't expect to buy one and get one free, and he also gave a trick.

Although this trick is not famous in the history of the Three Kingdoms, its comprehensive quality is quite good, it can be civil and martial, can govern the locality, and can also lead the army to fight, in the period when there is a shortage of talents under his command, it is the best result to be able to recruit such talents.

"Well, pull the move? It's a very special surname, but I like your cleverness, I was recently appointed by my father as the supervisor of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and I will go north to attack Gongsun Zan in a few days, I just lack talents like you, I don't know if you are interested in working under me? ”

Yuan Mai looked at Qian Zhao with an unfathomable look and asked, I don't know if he will readily agree to his invitation?
