Shi Wengong took Huangfu to the Zhongjun tent, and Liang Zhongshu left his seat to greet him, as a member of his side, such a courtesy can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. The seven soldiers and horses were all watching, and they were all unhappy in their hearts: "My lord loves these grass people who have no merit and fame so much, it is really a loss of the court's system!" ”

The current Liang Zhongshu doesn't care what kind of immodest or indecent he is? Whoever can help him make meritorious contributions in battle, he will look up to him. After a few polite words with Shi Wengong and Huangfuduan, Liang Zhongshu was surprised: "Isn't there still a righteous man who steals the horse of the Liao lord?" What's missing? ”

Shi Wengong replied, Duan Jingzhu is a person who is idle and wild, and he is not used to living in the military camp, so he said goodbye early this morning, but Liang Zhongshu's invitation was a step late.

Liang Zhongshu listened and sighed: "Alas! It's still my blessing, and it's a pity to miss out on the geniuses! ”

Since he missed Duan Jingzhu and Huangfu Duan couldn't miss it again, Liang Zhongshu ordered him to go down and have a big banquet to entertain the world. Speaking of the ins and outs of the jade lion in the night, all the officials were shocked, Liang Zhongshu also had to test the ability of Huangfuduan, and ordered someone to lead a few horses he rode to come up, Huangfuduan just glanced at his eyes, and then listed the habits, temper, strengths, and shortcomings of each horse on weekdays, like a number of family treasures, and listed them clearly.

The seven soldiers and horses were not convinced, and they passed Liang Zhongshu, and they also pulled their own war horses up, which was difficult for the emperor. Who knows that it is difficult to be difficult, it is not difficult for those who will know, the emperor Fu holds vegetables with his right hand, drinks with his left hand, looks at the horse in his eyes, criticizes in his mouth, and everywhere he looks, he really has an unobstructed view, and there is no omission, that is, Mr. Storyteller is not so good. The seven soldiers and horses had to be convinced at this time, and they all said in their hearts: "It turns out that this bearded man still has a bit of the ability to go to the side!" ”

Liang Zhongshu saw that Huangfu Duan was indeed a talented man, so he recruited him to be a horse doctor in his army. Seeing that the emperor couldn't excuse himself, he had to comply, Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "With the help of Mr. Huangfu, my army and horses are worry-free!" ”

At this time, the emperor said: "Since my lord has asked me to take charge of the horse, you must rely on me." ”

Liang Zhongshu asked, "But I don't know what it is?" Sir, though. ”

Huangfu talked eloquently: "There are thousands of horses and thousands of troops in the army, the hooves are messy, and it is a place where epidemics are frequent. The sage has a saying - if you don't cure the disease, you will cure the disease, and if you don't cure the disorder, you will not be chaotic, and this is also the saying. If a serious illness has become a cure and a great chaos has been born and then cured, it is like digging a well when you are thirsty, and you are fighting to cast a knife, is it too late? ”

Liang Zhongshu listened, and suddenly felt a sense of bosom friend in his heart, and said secretly: "This Mr. Huangfu is really very human, although these words only talk about medical horses, but how can it not be a proverb for governing the world?" Liangshan is now in turmoil, even if I can calm down the changes here, but after this battle, I don't know how much national money and food has been spent, and the vitality has been greatly injured - when Liangshan was in turmoil at the beginning, where were the princes of Gongon? Alas! Don't say Liangshan, just look at the turmoil in this world, and I don't know how many 'unchaotic' have been ignored, and when it becomes 'chaotic', it will be too late! ”

Thinking of the frustration, I couldn't help but feel proud, but I still cheered up and said to the emperor: "What Mr. said makes people stunned, but I don't know how to prevent it, but what should I do?" ”

Huangfu said: "Please also allocate manpower to buy suitable medicinal materials in all directions, or feed horses to increase their resistance, or boil and sprinkle them in the stable to eradicate the disease. ”

The seven soldiers and horses all listened, and their hearts suddenly brightened: "Okay! Sure enough, he is an official for thousands of miles just for money! The bearded man looked sanctimonious, and now he finally showed the fox's tail. Although there are not many war horses in our army, but if we save chicken feathers and dusters, can we spend less 'small money'? As long as this beard goes up and down, he will be a golden wind after this battle! ”

At this time, I heard Liang Zhongshu say: "Mr. is reasonable, according to Mr. 's words, the money and food are ...... by what Mr. wants."

Duan Pengju, the supervisor of the Suizhou Soldiers and Horses, was so hot that he stepped forward at the moment and said impassionedly: "My lord! When Mr. Huangfu first came, he failed to know the affairs of the army, and the last general was not talented, and he was willing to be Mr. Huangfu's second! ”

Others also scrambled: "My lord! We are willing to participate in the grand event! ”

Shi Wengong saw that Huangfu could be reused by Liang Zhongshu, and he was secretly happy for him in his heart, and at this time he was excited to see the crowd, he was a straight man, where did he know the mystery? Xin said: "Even these rice buckets are eager to step forward, how can I not help Mr. Huangfu?" Hum! When it comes to getting horses, which one can compare to the men in our Zengtou City? ”

At that moment, he bowed his hand to Liang Zhongshu and said: "My lord, Mr. Huangfu is the chief regent of the army and horses, and he can't do without capable people under his command, our men in Zengtou City are the best at raising horses, so I will transfer one hundred and ten people to Mr. Huangfu to ensure that there is no leakage!" ”

Huangfu listened to it and said secretly: "Oh no, if this Liang Zhongshu accepts Shi Wengong's words, how can I do it?" ”

At that moment, he grabbed the head and said: "Don't volunteer! The people who help me raise horses, although they give priority to knowing the horse's nature, must also be familiar with the military contacts everywhere, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort. Brother Shi's kindness is in his heart, but this candidate is still selected by Lord Liang from the army! ”

Liang Zhongshu looked at the seven soldiers and horses and shook his head, sighed, and then said: "In this case, the seven eunuchs will each pick a capable person to help Mr. Huangfu succeed!" ”

The seven soldiers and horses were overjoyed, and when they looked at the Huangfu again, they immediately looked a lot better, and they all thought: "It turns out that this Huangfu is also a person who can be friends!" ”

Everyone was overjoyed, everyone said goodbye to Liang Zhongshu and left the account, and the seven soldiers and horses took the emperor and talked for a long time, and they went happily.

Shi Wengong waited for Huangfu in the distance, sullen, and as soon as the seven soldiers and horses were gone, he asked, "Mr. Huangfu, why do you refuse your brother's kindness?" Is there any good result in working with those villains? ”

Huangfu said with a handful of money: "Brother Shi, don't worry, listen to me." I know very well that the seven people came for profit, but if I turn them away, they don't dare to do anything in the open, and they plan secretly, and we will try our best to get the horse, but the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, and can only end up in disgrace, and it will end miserably. Brother Shi, if you think about the actions of this group of corrupt officials in the world today, you should understand something, right? ”

Shi Wengong finally came to his senses, and said angrily: "Dog thief! ”

Huangfu persuaded him: "Brother Shi, don't be angry, since you are with them, you must learn to live like a dog and think like a human, this is the right way!" ”

Shi Wengong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "One day......"

Huangfu Duan sneered: "What will happen one day? Liangshan and Hujia generals outside have ushered in one day, but they have not been surrounded and suppressed? ”

Thinking that he was also a member of the encirclement and suppression of Liangshan Hujiajun, Shi Wengong's whole spirit withered like a deflated ball. After a while, he said blankly: "Brother Huangfu, you said, did we do something wrong when we came to fight Liangshan in Zengtou City?" ”

Huangfu said indifferently: "I'm just a doctor, don't ask me such a complicated question!" In fact, you know in your own heart, it's just that the situation is stronger than people, and it's hard to admit it for a while! It's hard to live—"

Shi Wengong didn't say much, just hung his head and rode the horse, his face changed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he returned to his own camp, he talked to the five tigers of the Zeng family and Yu Baosi about the depression in his heart, everyone was speechless, and Zuihou still reluctantly said: "We are here, for the kindness of Lord Liang, and the rest of the seven, seven, eight, or eight, don't worry about it!" ”

Although this topic has been revealed, it is difficult for everyone to feel at ease.

In the next few days, Liang Zhongshu officially wrote, Huang Fuduan was in charge of the war horses in the army, and the seven soldiers and horses were all supervised by their henchmen to assist, and the action of war horse epidemic prevention was vigorously promoted in the whole army. The seven soldiers and horses were smiling day by day, and even commensurate with the Huangfu Duan's brothers, and they were extremely close, even if they lost the dignity of the court officials, they couldn't care about it at this time.

On this day, Liang Zhongshu was promoted to the account and discussed with the generals, but he saw that the seven soldiers and horses were all strange, and he couldn't help but ask carefully.

Liang Zhongshu was puzzled, and was about to secretly order Li Cheng to take a closer look, but suddenly Shi Wengong asked to see him.

Liang Zhongshu was invited to enter the account, Shi Wengong came in in a hurry, and said as soon as he opened his mouth: "My lord! Emergency military intelligence! ”

Hearing this, Liang Zhongshu's heart suddenly jumped, but his face was still silent, and he just asked indifferently: "What is the military situation?" ”

Shi Wengong said: "My lord, do you remember the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu Duan brother who left some time ago?" Today he came back and brought back the great military intelligence - the land where the people of Liangshan were stockpiled with grain, and he found it! ”

Liang Zhongshu listened, his eyes widened, he got up from his seat and asked urgently, "Where is Duan Yishi?" Under the excitement, I didn't feel that my voice trembled.

It is said that the merit is higher than saving the driver, and the poison is better than starving the grain, if the grain and grass of Liangshan can be burned and robbed, its army will be defeated without a fight! Liang Zhongshu has been racking his brains to find a place for the people of Liangshan to store grain, but Ximenqing is very cautious, and Liang Zhongshu has worked in vain. At this time, I suddenly heard that Duan Jingzhu, a golden retriever, had brought information about the land of Liangshan Tun Grain, what was this joy?

Shi Wen said respectfully: "Brother Duan is outside the tent, and he doesn't dare to trespass!" ”

Liang Zhongshu waved his hand and said, "Quick!" Please! No! I'm going to greet it personally! As he spoke, he snatched his feet out of the tent with one foot and one foot lower.

This time, the seven soldiers and horses were overseer, but they didn't care about it. First, if Duan Jingzhu really brought the exact news of Liangshan's grain place, it would definitely be the first merit in the first work, so when Liangshan was broken, how many rewards did Liang Zhongshu get, and what did he get by softening his body at this moment? Second, everyone has a lot of things in their chests and ghosts in their hearts, so they don't care about the rest.

"Where is Duan Yishi?" Liang Zhongshu shouted all the way and grabbed out, and saw a yellow-haired man standing in the distance, and bowed his head when he saw him.

Liang Zhongshu hurriedly ran up to help him up, and took Duan Jingzhu's hand back to the Chinese military tent, just twenty or thirty steps, Liang Zhongshu was already like a river, and Duan Jingzhu's heroic deeds of stealing the imperial horse of the Liao Emperor were boasted of flowers, Duan Jingzhu didn't understand it, but said in fear: "How dare the villain?" How dare the villain? ”

After entering the account and rewarding the seat, Shi Wengong didn't wait for Liang Zhongshu to pave the way again, and had already gone straight to the point: "Brother Duan, the military situation is urgent, let's talk about it quickly!" ”

Liang Zhongshu cast a grateful look at Shi Wengong, and also arched his hand: "Duan Yishi, please speak!" ”

Duan Jingzhu was surrounded by a group of Hebei left-behind envoys and soldiers and horses, and he was at a loss for a while, restless, and muttered for a long time before he could say something smooth.

It turned out that after he said goodbye to Shi Wengong and the others, he was afraid that Liang Zhongshu would be too enthusiastic and send people to chase after him, so he didn't go north, but came to the south.

Unexpectedly, under the unconscious wandering around in the mountains, he found a camp. Before, Duan Jingzhu thought that this was the den of the bandits, but when he got closer, he saw that the orders were strict and the soldiers were majestic, Duan Jingzhu couldn't help but be surprised, and secretly thought: "It's the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court, and they don't have such majesty, where does the ordinary little thief have such a scale and bearing?" ”

This camp does not plant flags, does not mark lights, and in a hurry, Duan Jingzhu does not know what to do here. Until the next day, there was a team of men and horses with countless carts coming, headed by a general, wearing a water-milled white phoenix wing helmet, wearing a silver iron armor, wearing a green unicorn battle jacket, and a small flag in the quiver, on which a couplet was written: "Heroic double spear general, merry ten thousand households." ”

In the camp of Zengtou City, Duan Jingzhu listened to Shi Wengong and the Five Tigers of the Zeng family talk about the top heroes in Liangshan, including the name of Dong Ping, a two-gun general, and heard that he was responsible for guarding the Liangshan grain road, and saw that the grain and rice occasionally leaked between the bumps of the cart - Duan Jingzhu finally realized that this was the place where the Liangshan army gathered grain!

As soon as Dong Ping arrived, the door of the village was wide open, and three heroic people came out, and when Dong Ping greeted him, it was Zhang Qing who had no feathers and arrows and took Gong Wang, the tiger of the flower neck, and Ding Desun, the tiger of the middle arrow, to guard the grain here.

Hearing this, Heavenly King Li Cheng couldn't help but say: "Dong Ping, Zhang Qing and the like are all generals, Ximen Qing actually entrusted the lifeblood of the three armies to these people, which can be regarded as a suspicion and no suspicion!" ”

Liang Zhongshu sighed: "Ximen Qing is known as the righteous Bo Yuntian, and he can best win the death power of heroes and heroes, is it fortunate?" In just this section, it can be seen that his people's means of winning people's hearts are clever - Duan Yishi, what happened later? ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Later, the villain secretly visited for a few days. The villain in the camp has no ability to sneak in, so he had to look around in the surrounding mountains, and later met an old man who collected medicine, only to know that the place where Liangshan Tun grain is called Huangliang Valley, it is a gourd belly terrain, and only one road to go in, which is spacious, enough to get a million stone grain and grass, where the terrain is high, not afraid of rain and snow infiltration, and there is its own spring water in the valley, it is really a God-given place for grain. ”

Li Cheng listened and said: "Enxiang, I only hate that we are outsiders, and we are not familiar with geography, so it is no wonder that we can't find the grain storage land in Liangshan." ”

Liang Zhongshu said: "Liangshan has the help of Erlong Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain, and Baihu Mountain, so that we can find such a treasure land for grain." But today, since we know his organs, we just need to calculate it properly, and let him be wiped out - Duan Yishi, are you familiar with the road to and from this Huangliang Valley? ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "Back to the words of the adults - from Huangliang Valley to Qingzhou, there are three forks in the road. One is Nankeyu, one is Handan Slope, and one is Huaiyinpi - if you hold these three places, the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in. ”

Li Cheng asked: "Can these three places be guarded by Liangshan people?" ”

Duan Jingzhu said: "None." ”

Liang Zhongshu was happy to move the color, and the case started, daxiao said: "The thief is familiar with the terrain, and he is light and unprepared, which is the courage of the sky!" Li Dujian, now you quickly send someone to follow Duan Yishi, and go to the Huangliang Valley, Nankeyu, Handan Slope, and Huaiyinpi, but don't startle the thief - Duan Yishi, this time I will be partial to you again, if you can break the thief, you will be the first credit! ”

Li Cheng agreed, took Duan Jingzhu, who was only promised, took the fine people under his command, and went quickly.

Liang Zhongshu also instructed the seven soldiers and horses to supervise: "The seven of you go back, each of you rectifies the men and horses under your command, and you must make the soldiers strong and strong, and when I give the order, I will send troops immediately!" ”

The seven soldiers and horses all looked at each other and were silent for a while. Liang Zhongshu looked strange and said angrily: "Why do you dare to slow down my military order? ”

Duan Pengju saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to step forward and kneel, and said without a helmet: "If you go back to the adults, it's not the young generals' prevarication, but the sudden epidemic of the war horses in the army, which is at a critical juncture, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm afraid I can't straighten it out! ”

When Liang Zhongshu heard this, he was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Haven't you already made preparations for epidemic prevention? Why is there another sudden epidemic? What exactly do you eat? ”

The seven soldiers and horses all knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, but Duan Peng raised his mouth and said stiffly: "My lord, the young generals have not neglected their duties, if it weren't for the hard work of the young generals who have been quelling the epidemic, I am afraid that this epidemic has already spread in the army!" ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly echoed it.

Liang Zhongshu paused and shouted, "What about Mr. Huangfu? See you at the Emperor's end! ”

After a short time, Huang Fu arrived, and Liang Zhongshu asked: "Mr. Huangfu, I handed over all the horses of the army to you, but why did I have an epidemic and I have no available horses at the critical moment?" ”

"Plague?" Huangfu Duan was deliberately stunned and asked, but seeing that Duan Pengju and the others were desperately looking at him, Huangfu Duan sneered in his heart, lowered his head and said, "Lord Hui, there is indeed a 'epidemic'!" ”

Liang Zhongshu barely suppressed his anger and asked, "How is the epidemic?" ”

Huangfu said: "In addition to the Li Du Supervision Department of the Chinese Army, the two regimental training envoys of Lingzhou, Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo, and the Zengtou City Department of the Volunteer Battalion, the epidemic is a great problem!" ”

Liang Zhongshu was about to gasp when he heard this, but when he thought that there were still Li Cheng, Shan Tingqi, Wei Dingguo, Shi Wengong, Zeng Family Five Tigers and others available after all, it was not completely lost, so he spit out that cool breath again.

Calming down, Liang Zhongshu asked, "Is the epidemic bad?" ”

Huangfu said lightly: "Don't worry, my lord, if there are small people here, I will be able to protect the war horses." If a horse dies, the small people dare to use human heads to compensate. ”

Liang Zhongshu listened to these cruel words, put his heart down a little, and then asked, "Why is the epidemic caused?" ”

As soon as Liang Zhongshu finally asked this sentence, the hearts of the seven soldiers and horses were raised.

But listening to Huangfu Duan, he still said lightly: "Back to my lord, when Xiaomin took office, there was an epidemic in the army's war horses, and it was thanks to the cooperation of the seven capital supervisors that the epidemic was controlled, and there was no damage to the horses, which was also a fluke." ”

The seven soldiers and horses all listened to this, and they were all relieved, secretly grateful to Huangfu for covering for them, and thought: "Brother Huangfu is really interesting!" Accept today's love, and let him get more money in the future! ”

Shi Wengong had been silent and speechless, but at this time he wanted to relieve the embarrassment of Huangfu, so he said: "My lord, if there are few horses and can't do anything, you can urgently repair a book and send it to Zengtou City, and you should be able to transfer a batch of horses over for emergency." ”

Liang Zhongshu was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally showed a smile on his face, and said: "If it can be like this, it is good!" Shi Yishi, the matter of borrowing horses from Zengtou City depends on you! It's just that the military situation is urgent......"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Wengong had already said: "In the next place, I will send someone Pegasus to pass the book, and I can't miss the big thing of the adult!" Before the words fell, the man had already clenched his fists and came out of the account.

Huangfu excused himself to dispense medicine for the war horse, and he also resigned, but when he saw Shi Wen Gongzheng and Zeng Tu talking something, Zeng Tu nodded again and again, jumped on the healthy horse, and flew away. Huangfu stepped forward at this time, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Shi for helping me out of the siege!" ”

Shi Wengong asked: "Brother Huangfu, we don't talk darkly, where is there any horse plague in the army now?" What's going on with this 'epidemic'? ”

Huangfu smiled bitterly: "It's a shame to say that my brother Yima I has become the murderer of poisonous horses now!" ”

It turned out that after the seven soldiers and horses were overseen in the fat shortage of purchasing medicinal materials, they all moved quickly one by one, and Huangfu had no choice but to accompany them to be false and wronged.

Wang Yi, the supervisor of the Dengzhou Soldiers and Horses, really forgot his righteousness, and first advocated: "To purchase medicinal materials, we have to pay for it, so it's better for us to take it and leave, spend nothing, and use it as 'public use', wouldn't it be good?" We are doing things for the country, and those people who sell medicinal materials should be willing to donate. Besides, where do the herbs grow? It grew out of the land of the country, and it should be owned by the state, so let's take it now, but the thing will be returned to the original owner. ”

Hearing this grand statement, several soldiers and horses were applauded.

But there are still people who understand. Han Tianlin, the eunuch of the Tangzhou Soldiers and Horses, was quite clever today, shook his head and said, "Lord Wang's idea can only be used when there is nothing to do in peacetime, but it cannot be planned in wartime. Rob once, grab twice, but the money saved is limited - oh, not rob, it's take, it's take - but those Diao people didn't cut off their legs, take them once or twice, will they still come? If you misunderstand the adult's business because of this, you and I can't afford it! ”

Duan Pengju also said: "War horse epidemic prevention is a big deal, it is better to lose two dollars and do it well." Not for Mrs. Cai and Lord Liang, but also for us to think about it - if the army is defeated due to the loss of the war horse, where will you and I go? ”

When Wang Yi heard this, he admitted his mistake bitterly and said: "Brother is a rough man, I can't recognize all the words on the copper coin, I don't care about my head and buttocks, and I make everyone laugh!" ”

So all the soldiers and horses discussed and decided - although the money that should be spent still has to be spent, it can be carefully budgeted and saved, so that the sand gathers into a tower and accumulates armpits into a fur.

So, in the process of procurement, shoddy to fake and real to fish eyes mixed with pearls has become a common phenomenon, the emperor is willing to puppetry, just cold bystanders, do not block their financial road, seven soldiers and horses are monitoring his interest, are full of praise for him.

Who knew that on this day, Wang Yi went to buy beans, but it was too expensive, and when he saw that there was a croton that was very cheap, he thought to himself: "Raw beans and crotons are both beans, aren't they almost the same?" As long as you get by, why worry too much? ”

So, Wang Yi drove dozens of carts of croton back, and he was still smug. This is exactly what it is:

The harsh government is lamentable, and the corruption epidemic is even more tragic. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
