Chapter 173: Grain and Grass
Things have developed to this point, which Wei Duyuan never expected.
If Liu Yuan was still here, he would naturally be able to relax, and the affairs over there could be left to him, but now that he is gone, he has to take care of the affairs in Shacheng and the military camp.
There are always one or two soldiers at the border pass who are Prince Gong's people, and the Long Marching Army is also uncertain, and now the Huns are coming to mix again, which really makes him anxious.
He thought about it and decided to lure the snake out of the hole.
Sitting back and waiting for death is only the part of being beaten passively, it is better to take the initiative!
Don't the people in the capital love to work on grain and grass? Okay, this time he's going to do it.
"Something is wrong with the grain?" Zhu Bian shouted in disbelief.
Wei Duyuan was very helpless about Zhu Bian's loud voice, so he glanced at him lightly, and saw that he lowered his voice, so he said: "Yes, the news I got is like this, but I don't know what the real situation is." said that there was a big flood from the Northern Yuan side, and it couldn't be delivered. ”
"Grandma's, Beiyuan hasn't had a big flood for many years, how could this time come to a big flood?" Zhu Bian has never been in the capital, he is used to being rough, and he said without covering his mouth, "It won't be the moth given by someone in the capital, right?" ”
Generally speaking, the army did not move the grain and grass first, and when the partial dragon marched to the army, it set a precedent, saying that it had just sent a batch of grain to the border pass, and let the dragon march army eat with them first, and wait for the next batch of grain to be sent together.
The result? The grain and grass were delayed for half a month!
"This Northern Yuan hasn't had a big flood for many years, how can it suddenly be a big flood?" Zhao joined the army in the end, and thought a lot, "As far as I know, even if there is a big flood there, it shouldn't be too big." ”
"This is another thing I want to say, it is said that there are many victims in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and there is no need to delay, so we will take our military rations to disaster relief first." Wei Duyuan also frowned at this time, as if he was very embarrassed.
Zhu Bian immediately quit: "Disaster relief is urgent, what about so many of our brothers?" There is no food to die! ”
Wei Duyuan glanced at Zhu Bian again, and his face became more serious: "General Zhu, just say this in front of us, don't let people listen to it." If it goes to the capital, you can't eat and walk around! ”
Zhu Bian also knew that Wei Duyuan was for his good, so he turned his head and stopped talking, but he still looked indignant and unwilling.
Wei Duyuan stabilized Zhu Bian, and he wanted Zhao to join the army and insert a bar again.
"Where else can't you say? We are working hard in the frontier, and those dignitaries and nobles in the capital are good, eating and drinking spicy food all day long, and now we don't give us food! Let the brethren starve to death? ”
Zhu Bian's anger that was finally suppressed by him came up again: "Grandma is a bear, but it's not, the soldiers are working hard, the military salary is not much, and the military rations have not yet fallen." ”
When Wei Duyuan heard this, he immediately became angry: "Are you here to join the army to defend your family and the country, or are you here to enjoy happiness?" We're working hard here, don't we just want the people to have a stable home? When you are young, don't you just want your wife and children to be able to eat and wear without worrying about food and clothing? ”
Zhao joined the army and didn't know what was wrong, he looked quite a stable person on weekdays, but now he was on the same side as Wei Duyuan, and he said directly: "You are a young general, and there are people in your family who are blessed, so you naturally don't worry about eating and drinking, and you don't know the suffering of the world." What about us? ”
Zhao joined the army at this time, regardless of the changed faces of the people present, and continued regardless of it: "We have no background, it took so many years to get to this position, and the old and young in the family can't see each other a few times all year round, and the military salary is a fart!" It's not that we are fighting with our lives, the old and young in the family are just half-full, and like me, it's just trying to be full. ”
Zhao Senjun said this truthfully, and many people closed their mouths after this roar, and they all seemed to have the same thoughts. Of course, there are also people who have different thoughts, and Zhu Bian is.
"Lao Zhao! What are you talking about? I don't know about you, you've always had the intention of defending your family and country, you ......"
Wei Duyuan waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Bian's next words: "Zhao joins the army, I didn't know that you had so much resentment in your heart. It's okay, just sprinkle it. As for the matter of military salaries, I will play and explain it to the emperor. The emperor is a wise man, so he will naturally think about it. ”
No one expected that Wei Duyuan would not punish Zhao for joining the army.
"I know how much people are angry with me because I left the barracks in private, even if the soldiers outside don't say it in public, they are still dissatisfied in private. Who else has grievances? Now it's all clear, and if I say it, I can solve it together. ”
Wei Duyuan's face was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger, but he had an inexplicable momentum, which made people dare not slack off, and people couldn't help but believe in him like this.
"If I don't talk about it now, maybe I will have this opportunity in the future." Wei Du looked at the people from a distance, and saw that they still didn't seem to have anything to say, so he said, "Since you haven't said anything, it's good to train the soldiers, appease the army, and guard the grain and grass." If something goes wrong, military law will deal with it! ”
Seeing that no one had any objections, Wei Duyuan brought up the matter: "General Nan, how long can our grain and grass last?" ”
General Nan's face was very ugly: "Seven days at most." ”
Wei Duyuan frowned: "The emperor means that he will transfer grain to us as soon as possible from the granary next to him, let's grit our teeth and support it first, and if it doesn't work, we will go to Shacheng to make up for it." ”
Zhu Bian's brows furrowed even tighter: "General Wei, I'm afraid this matter is not feasible!" ”
Wei Duyuan knew that it was not easy to transfer grain from a prefect, not to mention that it was a place like Shacheng where birds don't, but if he was forced to the end of the mountain, even if he used tough means, he still had to adjust it!
"I don't know it well, no prefect is willing to take out the grain under his jurisdiction, but he has to take it if he doesn't take it!"
Zhu Bian still admires this young general, after all, the first time he went to the battlefield, two victories and one draw, that is equivalent to three battles and three victories, even if he praised Wei Duyuan for being a military wizard, he felt that it was not an exaggeration.
In addition, he also admires General Zhenbei quite a lot, so naturally he doesn't want Wei Duyuan to offend the people above.
"There are people in this Shacheng prefect, we don't know who they are, so it's not easy to offend. And he is a notoriously iron, and it is impossible to get something out of his mouth without shedding his skin. ”
Wei Duyuan was in a hurry that day, and he didn't have time to meet this prefect, but when he heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he said with interest: "I want to see where it is sacred." ”
Zhu Bian knew that Wei Du was far from listening to his words, and wanted to persuade him again, but Zhao Senjun intercepted his words: "If he can loosen his mouth, it will naturally be good, if he doesn't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, the general's face will still be given by the prefect of Shacheng." ”
This is really not good, no matter how you listen to it, you feel a little ironic, but at this time, no one dares to persuade it, and Zhu Bian is a Ma Daha, and he doesn't know how to round the field.
Wei Du smiled generously and said, "I hope so." ”
General Nan also followed Wei Duyuan's words and said: "That's naturally good, but if the general doesn't go in person, I'm afraid that the prefect won't agree." ”
The soldiers in the Long Marching Army didn't know the prefect of Shacheng, and they couldn't say anything, but the soldiers who were stationed at the border all the year round were different, and they all felt that General Nan was right, and they seconded the proposal.
Wei Duyuan quietly glanced at General Nan, who proposed this, and his face showed a sad expression: "It's just that Wanye is here, if I go to Shacheng, I'm afraid of ......."
Zhu Bian hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "As long as I Zhu Bian is here, the Hun cubs don't want to cross the border of Dayu!" ”
General Nan bowed and saluted: "General, food and grass are very important, please go to the general!" Otherwise, we would not have fought against the Huns, for they would have been able to surround us for 10 or 20 days. ”
Wei Duyuan frowned: "Okay, the matter is urgent, when I explain the things in the military camp clearly, Ming'er will set off with people, you must guard the border pass." ”
It seems that the promise was very reluctant.
Wei Duyuan looked at Zhu Bian, who was still in the camp tent and raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else about General Zhu?" ”
Zhu Bian smiled rather silly, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak.
Wei Duyuan had no intention of helping him break the siege, so he sat on the top and waited for him to speak.
Zhu Bian was a rough man, and he didn't have so many twists and turns in his stomach, so he finally explained stubbornly: "General Wei, that, oops, no mother-in-law!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Bian poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "It's Lao Zhao, he is just panicking here, and he is also in a hurry, Wanye is not an ordinary opponent, he looks at his brothers like this...... He felt uncomfortable......"
You left suddenly, and you didn't know what to do.
"I know what you mean, I won't do it for personal reasons."
Wei Duyuan knew that Zhu Bian was a loyal and good person, and he did not hesitate to say a few sincere words to him.
"I know that my brothers have a grudge against my sudden departure, and I know that I can't compare with your brothers who have been stationed on the frontier all year round, and I don't want to go beyond your feelings. You think that I am a son-in-law from the capital, and after a few battles, I am arrogant, so I am slack, and I am going to Shacheng to have fun. Is that so? ”
This is what the soldiers said in private, and Zhu Bian really didn't expect Wei Duyuan to know about it.
He was a little at a loss for a while, but soon, as if he had figured it out, he said earnestly: "I know that you are young and vigorous, but the brothers have been like this for so many years, and your sudden departure is really not the work of a commander, let alone the situation that the enemy army has not retreated. Still, I believe in you. ”
The corners of Wei Duyuan's mouth hooked up a smile, where did this person believe him? Why do you say that if you believe in him?
However, it was indeed something he had done wrong, and he could not argue with it, and after a few more polite sentences, he ended the conversation, not wanting to say anything more.
Zhu Bian also saw it, sighed in his heart and went out.
As long as Wei Du is far from stumbling behind Lao Zhao, he will be relieved, and the rest can only take his time.
After this incident, he felt that Wei Duyuan was still young and needed more experience.
What he didn't know was that Wei Duyuan needed more experience, but he lived more clearly and saw it than anyone in this barracks!
It's also more in control!
There are bandits who come to farm
