Chapter 243: Drifting

"Bo Fu, would you like to go to Yunzhou with me to level the thief?" Li You was the first to find Zhou Bofu, it would be a pity if such a fierce general was let go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"As long as there is a big battle, let a certain family go anywhere, since returning to the capital, these days have faded out." As soon as Zhou Bofu heard that there was an opportunity to fight, he immediately agreed.

"Okay, the flower boats and green buildings in Jiangnan are much more atmospheric than those in Beijing, and when I get to Jiangnan, I will definitely take Brother Bofu to have a good time." Wooing him so easily, Li You was very happy.

"If a certain family doesn't go, the little ladies in Jiangnan like to chant poems against each other, and they are not cool at all, and a certain family likes to push it directly." It seems that this Zhou Bofu is not a supporter of traditional culture.

"Haha, what's so hard about that." Li You couldn't help laughing, "When the time comes, let's just smash it with silver, I don't believe that there are really so many Qinglou women in Jiangnan who don't love silver and love talents." ”

After that, Li You went with him to persuade the rest of the Modao team, with Zhou Bofu as an example, these people quickly agreed, and they were all ready to follow Li You to Jiangnan; This is the Great Wei who doesn't know the power of the Modao team, if it is placed in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, who would dare to take such a strategic army as his own?

It is not enough to have a Modao team that can fight and kill, Li You also selected some capable grassroots officers such as army commanders, Shi Chang, and Baihu from the army, as well as some auxiliary officers in charge of military quarters and military law, these people are the core force of his future army, and it took a few days of hard work to make up the quota of the army of three hundred people and a number of officers, and he finally has a force that truly belongs to him.

secretly carefully told Zhou Bofu and other core team members to discuss with their families, and it is best to move their families to Jiangnan; There will definitely be great changes in Beijing in the future, Li You doesn't want them to suffer the pain of bereavement, as for those soldiers are relatively better, they are all selected from all over the Great Wei, most of them are single, they haven't had time to marry, and their families are not in the capital, Li You plans to wait until they settle down in Jiangnan and then write a letter to persuade their families to move to Jiangnan.

The team's problem is solved, then it's time to go to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to ask for supplies, Li You directly brought Zhou Bofu. The officer in charge of the quartermaster and some soldiers of the Modao team swaggered to the yamen of the military headquarters.

"Have you prepared all the weapons that Lord Ben wanted?" Walking straight into the yamen of the military department and finding the person in charge of the distribution of weapons, Li You sat down and asked with a big grin.

"Sir, everything is ready for you, 1,000 knives and guns, 500 bows, 50,000 arrows...... the director reported the list of materials Li You needed, respectfully took Li You to the arsenal, and pointed out the materials prepared for him one by one.

"Go and see if there's anything missing, and we don't want the broken, rusty, and rotten garbage." Li You waved his hand, and Sun Chuyang, who was in charge of the quartermaster in the Zhenwei camp, immediately took a few of his subordinates to check it carefully.

"My lord, there are only 1,000 knives and guns, and there are still 200 of them that are not usable," the first item of materials was counted clearly.

"What is this?" Li You's gaze turned to the head of the military department.

"Drift." The director of the Ministry of War squeezed out two words between his teeth, considering that this was something that Lord Shangshu had instructed him to do well, the director also explained a few words, "Sir, this is the rule of the Ministry of War, it is not easy to prepare materials, and the people who handle it are willing to pay attention to it, right?" Xia Guan thought that this was for you, the lord, and he had already taken the initiative to reduce the drift from thirty percent to two percent, you see, the five thousand knives and guns prepared for Zhang Guo, the prefect of Nanyang, were only in the early three thousand. ”

"Oh? So I have to thank you? Li You lengthened his tone, and he couldn't hear what kind of mood he was in his voice.

"Don't dare, don't dare, as long as the lord can understand our difficulties." The waist arch of the principal became like a shrimp, and he nodded and said.

"My lord, there are only four hundred bows, and fifty of them have been soaked in moth-eaten water." Sun Chuyang's voice sounded again.

"What is this?"

"Drift."

"My lord, there are less than 40,000 feather arrows, and more than 3,000 are either missing arrows or tail feathers, and they are not very useful, and it is estimated that less than 36,000 can be used." Sun Chuyang finished checking the last item.

"Hmm." Li You nodded and snorted, signaling that he already knew.

"Sir, do you think you can sign now?" The head of the military department accompanied the smiling face and handed some documents to Li You, if he met someone else, how could he give such a good face, and if the other party didn't send him the silver that satisfied him, don't think about taking away these materials that are seriously inconsistent with the number of lists?

"Signed?" Li You's face sank, "At the beginning, what Your Majesty and Lord Yuan promised to Li was 1,500 swords and guns, 500 bows, and 50,000 feather arrows, but now the number is not enough, why did Lord Ben sign and draw a pledge?" ”

"Sir, this is drifting! That's the rule for us, it's really not a deliberate embarrassment for the lower officials? Even when the British Duke was there, he also came according to this rule! The head of the military department suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly emphasized again.

"Let's go, you go and talk to Your Majesty about these words." Li You didn't say a word, grabbed his hand and was about to walk out, "Let's see if Your Majesty recognizes your rules?" I said that the British generals who had been fighting for a long time, how could they easily be defeated by Tang Kuo's troops, it turned out that you national beetles swallowed up military supplies, which caused the soldiers and horses under the command of the British to have no weapons to meet the enemy, so they were defeated. ”

Hearing that Li You buttoned this big hat on his head, coupled with the words that he wanted to take him to face the saint, the head of the military department was weak and almost scared; The so-called unspoken rules are such a thing, and even if Yuan Rukui, Wang Ji and such Shangshu squires know these things, they don't dare to talk about it in the court. The head of the military department knew that if this matter was brought to the emperor, he would have to be beheaded.

So he hurriedly begged for mercy, "Sir, sir, let go, the lower official doesn't dare, and the lower official will make it up for you." At the same time, he gritted his teeth and secretly swore that if it weren't for Lord Shangshu's advice to send you out of the capital earlier, I would have a way to clean you up, and when you arrive in Yunzhou, don't ask the military department for military supplies again, otherwise you will be good-looking at that time.

"Also, those broken weapons have also been replaced by this officer." The goal has been achieved, Li You stopped, but still held his hand, it seemed that he refused to let go until the things were ready.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys." The head of the military department ordered his subordinates in frustration, and it seemed that these losses could only be recovered from Zhang Guo. (To be continued.) )
