Chapter 458: The Man Behind the Scenes

Yang Feng was shameless in the face of Wang Xu, who was angry and rushed to the crown, and he couldn't face the questioning gaze of his former life and death brothers, and he didn't mind Zhou Zhi kicking him to the ground, he got up from the ground tremblingly, and knelt down again, crying bitterly. buried his head deep in the ground, and slowly told all the things he knew: "Lord, in fact, the last general doesn't know the details, but with the last general's knowledge, there are a total of six masterminds who steal the medicinal materials in the treasury!"

They are the younger brother of the lord and the chief manager of the non-weapon materials warehouse, Wang Ming! Jin Cao Peng Huan Jie, the younger brother of the book Cao engaged in Huan compilation, and Huan Tao, the chief manager of the weapons storehouse! Cangcao Peng Liu Xian, Changsha Taishou Liu Qian's brother, and Liu Qian, the captain of the agricultural school under the command of the last general! Han Meng, General Han's brother, Han Tao, the garrison captain of Xiangyang County Government! And ......"

Speaking of this, Yang Feng's voice suddenly paused.

Wang Xu, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, suddenly closed his eyes and coldly spit out three words: "Go on!" ”

Yang Feng only hesitated for a moment, and instantly made up his mind, and seemed to let go, and said resolutely: "There is also a nephew in the frustration of the middle of the frustration, Hu Cao's Peng official who is in charge of the collection of medicines and materials!" Zhang Liao, General Zhang's brother, and Zhang Zhi, the official in charge of the concentration and transportation of materials! ”

At this point, the frustration and Zhang Liao who were present instantly turned pale, and the frustration was more calm, his body trembled but he was in no hurry to speak, and Zhang Liao stood up suddenly, his fists crackled, and he roared angrily: "This bastard thing, I'm going to go back and cut him down in person!" ”

Zhao Yun, who was in front of Zhang Liao, knew that it could never be related to this matter, but at this moment, he still got up helplessly and quietly grabbed Zhang Liao. "Wen Yuan is angry, sit down for the time being! This matter is a matter of great importance and needs to be considered in the long run. It is better for the Lord to decide. ”

Xu Huang, who was next to Zhang Liao, was silent and did not speak. Also believe in this brother. But at this moment, he stood up inadvertently and took a slight step, seemingly not making any moves, but in fact, he had already blocked the possibility of Zhang Liao leaving the camp. It's no wonder that they have to guard against it at this time, if Zhang Liao rushes out and causes chaos in the army, it will be a big deal, and the rest of the generals are also silent!

Zhang Liao's martial arts are so strong. The observation is even sharper, and the mind is instantly aware of it, and the head instantly calms down. He didn't blame Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, after all, if it was him, he would do the same, it was not a matter of trust, but the incident was too strict. Immediately, "Puff Tong" knelt on the ground and bowed to Wang Xu, who was sitting in a handsome position: "Lord, Zhang Liao has never participated in this matter, and he is willing to be taken into custody and listened to the lord's death." ”

At this moment, Wang Xu did not hesitate. If he is not a person of later generations, he may have to be detained first, but what kind of character Zhang Liao is is not only evidenced by history. It has been tested for a long time in the conquest over the years, and it is absolutely impossible to have anything to do with this matter. "Wenyuan! Hurry up, please! ”

As he spoke, he got up and stepped forward and helped Zhang Liao up with his own hands. "Wen Yuan doesn't need to be like this, I can trust you!"

"Lord!" Zhang Liao was already extremely depressed and guilty in his heart, but when he was treated like this by Wang Xu, his eyes suddenly burst into tears, and his face was full of shame.

Wang Xu was also in a heavy mood, and comforted him: "Wenyuan, this matter is your brother's fault, although it is a close relative, what does it have to do with you?" Besides, my brother is also involved, you don't have to blame yourself so much, you sit in peace, and discuss how to solve it is the top priority! ”

As he spoke, he whispered to Zhao Yun and Xu Huang: "Zilong, Gongming, step aside!" They are all their own brothers, and they can be trusted! ”

"Hmm!" The two actually didn't believe that Zhang Liao had a problem, and when they got this, they were like being amnestied, so they bowed their hands to Zhang Liao apologetically and sat back.

Helping Zhang Liao to sit back with his own hands, Wang Xu looked at the frustration who had been silent.

Fu Zhu was not excited, but slowly got up and knelt on the ground: "Lord, my subordinates really don't know, if they had known about this, they would have personally tied up this son and asked for guilt!" ”

With a deep kowtow, when he lifted it up again, it was already old tears, and there was a great pain of ruining his reputation for a lifetime.

"Gonghe, why are you kneeling!" Wang Xu was really anxious, he never thought that so many people would be involved. Now it is a fierce battle between the two armies, a plan of life and death, once such problems are not dealt with, the foundation of Jingzhou will be shaken.

"Get up! I believe in you too. Wang Xu stepped forward to help him up.

But the temper of the frustrated literati came up, and he still cried bitterly: "Lord, although his subordinates are not involved, they also have responsibilities, and they dare not sit down again, and I hope that the lord will be bound by a rope before he dares to get up!" This matter must not be ascertained, and it will never be untied! ”

The two argued for a long time, frustrated and unable to afford to live or die, and Wang Xu was extremely helpless. Fortunately, Xu Shu cleverly found a rope, and Wang Xu personally tied it so that he could sit back with peace of mind.

At this moment, the big tent quieted down, and everyone was silent, only Fu Zhu and Zhang Liao were ashamed to see people and fidgeted.

For a long time, Guo Jiacai, who had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end, sighed softly and broke the silence: "Lord, this matter needs to be investigated deeply, it is the first time that high-level officials in Jingzhou have conspired to embezzle, and even led our army into a dilemma, and we must be severely punished to set an example." ”

"But now that the war on the front line is tight, and our army is out on the march, what if something happens in the rear?" Wang Xu asked anxiously.

Guo Jialuo was stunned, and he already replied: "For a thorough investigation, the lord must go back to Xiangyang in person, and the speed must be fast, otherwise Xiangyang will be chaotic!" Moreover, now that there is no medicine on the front line, the casualties of the army will be extremely huge and must be dealt with as much as possible. ”

"But once this matter is exposed and the rear changes, what should my army in Jingzhou do? What about the offensive and defensive battles of Nanzheng? Also, without medicine, how can such a tragic offensive and defensive battle continue? Do you just give up? Chen Deng said.

Thinking about the consequences of withdrawing the army, thinking about the countless corpses picked up under Nanzheng City, Wang Xu suddenly trembled, and shook his head suddenly: "No!" Nan Zheng must be taken! ”

As he spoke, he thought about the current situation for a while, and then said decisively: "Overnight, I ordered the soldiers from all over Hanzhong to immediately collect medicines from the people, no matter where they collected, all of them were recorded, and the people were given IOUs to solve their urgent needs first." At the same time, he ordered all the counties under his rule to raise medicinal materials for me as quickly as possible and transport them to the front line as soon as possible. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Kai, who was seated, answered with some concern: "This ...... I am afraid that it is inappropriate to report the compulsory collection in various parts of Hanzhong, and if it arouses public anger, it will be used by rice thieves and ghosts. Woe to you! ”

Wang Xu also knew that it was inappropriate to do so. But what can be done now. couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Big brother! This is a last resort, no matter what, let's solve the urgent need first! ”

"Hey!"

With a sigh, Wang Xu gritted his teeth and did not change this decision, but instead called: "Zhao Yun, Guo Jia!" ”

"The last general (subordinate) is here!" The two surrendered.

After staring at the two of them quietly for a moment, Wang Xu took off the "cadre" sword hanging from his waist and handed it to Zhao Yun, and instructed earnestly: "Zilong." The matter of the stability of the army will be left to you, and when I am not there, you must stabilize the morale of the army, and if there is any problem in the army, you can decide according to the situation. If there is something that shakes the morale of the army and plots against it, you can cut it first and then play it, but you must discuss everything with Fengxiao. ”

Zhao Yun stretched out his hands and tightly grasped Wang Xu's love sword, and said firmly: "Don't worry, the last general will ensure the stability of the army, and he will work together with the military advisor." ”

"Good!" Wang Xu is not verbose. turned to look at Guo Jia. "Fengxiao, the command of the front line will be handed over to you. You have full discretion to besiege the city and deal with it, and you can discuss it with Zilong. ”

"The Lord is safe, and Jia will live up to expectations!" Guo Jia nodded.

"With the guarantee of the two of you, I can return to Xiangyang with peace of mind." Wang Xu smiled slightly, and once again set his eyes on the rest of the people. "Princess, I will rush back to Xiangyang tomorrow morning with Dian Wei, Wen Yuan and Gong and first. After I leave, I hope you will assist Zilong and Fengxiao, and everything needs to be ordered by the two, and there must be no disobedience! The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and the safety of Jingzhou are all entrusted to you, so you must not make mistakes. Also, don't divulge half of today's events, and if you shake the morale of the army, you will be severely punished. ”

"I'll take my orders!"

As everyone agreed, the tired Wang Xu didn't say much, and left with Xu Shu and Zhao Yu first. On the way back to the main camp, Zhao Yu seemed to know that Wang Xu was in a heavy mood, so he rarely didn't ask a word, but just followed quietly behind him, this girl was actually quite sensible.

As soon as he entered his tent, Wang Xu quickly removed his stomach, knelt weakly beside the bookcase, stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, he was too stressed.

Zhao Yu was very well-behaved, walked behind him lightly, and pressed his shoulders for him with dexterous hands. Xu Shu also brought a cup of hot water and put it on the table, and the two sat opposite each other, silent.

"Husband, don't think too much, some things can't be avoided, let's drink some hot water first!" Xu Shu said gently.

"Hey!" Sighing lightly, Wang Xu's voice was slightly bitter: "I know that with the big business of the family and the bigger the stall, I will definitely not be able to unite like the first few brothers, but I really didn't expect it to be so soon." The few people Yang Feng said today are all core personnel, and they are people who are deeply trusted. I still remember the scene when Han Meng went to the north to bring his family and clan back, when Han Tao was still young, but he was smart and lively, clever and clever, although his talent was limited, he was willing to learn, and his ambition was also high, I liked it very much. When he was just 20, I personally promoted him, and often persuaded Han Meng to teach well, how could I think ...... Hey......"

"Now that my territory in Jingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more prosperous, there are more and more management institutions, and the personnel are becoming more and more complex, that Wang Ming is also a child of my clan that I intend to support, and he has some talents, but now he also makes me so disappointed. There is also Liu Qian of the Liu family in Jingnan, I originally wanted to cultivate it, and in the future, I will assist Yang Feng in charge of logistics and Tuntian affairs, and ...... Ay! Forget it, don't talk about it......"

Wang Xu said the words that were pressed in his heart, and felt a little better, picked up the water cup and pecked it gently.

Xu Shu looked at Wang Xu anxiously and couldn't do anything, so she could only comfort: "If they make mistakes, they will be punished, and no one can do anything, just try to put an end to such things in the future." ”

"Huh!" Wang Xu shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes flashed, and his tone suddenly showed a deep regret: "Wife, you didn't think about it, they are okay, what hurts me the most is the other person!" ”

"Huh?" Xu Shu was puzzled.

"Wife, with the rights of a few of them, if you want to make medicinal herbs, you can really do it. But why do we know now, I believe that since Yang Feng knows about this, the people in charge of the treasury don't know? Even if these people were secretly escorted before, they replaced most of the medicinal materials with weeds at the beginning, leaving the medicinal materials covered on the surface to cover people's ears and eyes, but after the initial expedition of the army, countless medicinal materials were transferred, and they still didn't know, was it not quite right? ”

"Shhh Xu Shu instantly comprehended, gasped, and said in astonishment: "Do you think Huan Su and Liu Xian? These are all veterans of Jingzhou's expansion of territory! ”

"No, Liu Xian is not sure!" Wang Xu shook his head and said affirmatively: "Liu Xianxin has not been in charge of Cangcao Peng for a long time, so it is impossible to participate in it, and it is uncertain whether to hide it." After all, there are too many people involved in this matter, and Yang Feng didn't say it before because he was afraid of offending too many people and being persecuted. Today, he deliberately reported the relationship between all the masterminds, and he was also explaining to me the reason why he concealed it. Now that the Jingzhou family has a big business, it is no longer the time for a few brothers to fight in the south and the north, it has formed an officialdom! ”

"But Huan Su, he will definitely not be able to escape the involvement. He is in charge of all the accounts and treasury materials in Jingzhou, will he not know? Even if he was concealed from below before, but now that there is such a big loophole, the army of medicinal materials cannot be allocated, and he doesn't even check it? Don't ask? Don't count? Even if he is not directly involved, it is a big crime to conceal and not report it, I don't care what reason he has, this time I go back, I will be the first to take him! I want to ask, where did the Huan Su who talked with me all night long, and aspired to the world go! (To be continued......)
