Chapter 406: Grain

In terms of duties, the ambassador of the Hedong thief and the training envoy of the Yunjia regiment are both temporary dispatches, and their grades are about the same; In terms of identity, Li You is a hereditary earl, which is higher than Zhang Guo's Jinshi background; In terms of combat performance, Li You once led the Great Wei Forbidden Army to resist 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Kuo Army, and exterminated the Mixed Yuan Sect, and did not lose to Zhang Guo who pacified the four prefectures in Hedong, so he did not dare to slack off after receiving the news of the envoy, and immediately prepared to meet Li You.

"Haha, Ambassador Zhang pacified the rebellion in the four provinces of Hedong, Li really admires it." Looking at the weathered old man in front of him, Li You took the lead in saluting.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Jiazhou Bo's defense against the Northern Captives and the pacification of the Mixed Yuan Sect is a great credit." Zhang Guo saw that the other party did not use the identity of an earl to oppress people, so he breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Li You into his big tent.

said that it was a big tent, but in fact, it was more spacious than the tent of ordinary soldiers, and there was no such thing as Zhang Guo and other high-ranking officials who should enjoy it, and even the tea was bought temporarily. ”

"Ambassador Zhang has won the award, aren't your soldiers and horses like this?" Li You knew that his soldiers did not harass the people, in addition to strict military discipline, but also because he did not let them lack food and drink all the way, and Zhang Guo's army looked like there was a shortage of food and grass, and when he came in, he also saw that these soldiers could only eat gruel, and they could endure not to rob the people when they were hungry.

"Since my Hedong thief army went south, even if the military rations were cut off, they had never harassed the people." Qin Shixin on the side saw Li You praising his own adult, and couldn't help but interject, he finally met an official who could still look good, and he wanted to complain a few words, but he retreated under Luo Shiji's stern gaze.

"In my opinion, this is all because Ambassador Zhang can share weal and woe with all the soldiers." Li You looked at Zhang Guo, who was also wearing patched clothes, and said, More than 200 years after the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, after all, there are still some officials who are sincere for the country and the people.

Zhang Guo and he also have a general idea, Da Wei Xungui has been in charge of the military for many years, although most of them are wine bags and rice bags, but the one in front of him can be called a young hero, he has also seen the march of the Jiazhou army, to be honest, if it is a head-on confrontation, even if the number of troops in his hands far exceeds Li You, he does not dare to say that he is sure to win.

The two sides had a bit of sympathy for each other, and it didn't take long for them to become a little familiar, Qin Shixin couldn't help but look at Pan Feng behind Li You, as if he was wondering if there was a chance to have a few tricks with this burly man, and Luo Shiji was also observing Sima Cuo, this person had a calm and stable expression, and he was quite a strategic person in his chest.

Realizing that the two sides were already somewhat familiar, Li You couldn't help but ask, "Dare to ask Ambassador Zhang, I see that these soldiers under your command seem to be a little short of food and clothing, didn't the imperial court distribute military rations and materials on time?" ”

As soon as he said that the tent suddenly quieted down, Qin Shixin's face turned red and he was about to say a few words, but Luo Shiji stepped on his foot fiercely under the cover of several cases, Zhang Guo smiled bitterly and said vaguely, "Recently, the imperial court has been troubled, and there are many places that cost money and grain, so it is reasonable that the supply of grain and grass is not enough." ”

"Yes, the first emperor died, the new emperor ascended the throne, and now there are northern captives on the border, and there are really more places for the court to spend money and food." Li You didn't think much of his answer, he expected that those well-founded Qin Wang Jun would not be short of food, and looking at Zhang Guo's appearance, he also knew that he didn't have this kind of relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have such outstanding talent, but at this age he was only a fourth-grade official, you must know that from Fang Cai's conversation, Li You already knew that Zhang Guo had been admitted to the Jinshi for almost thirty years! This qualification is also better than Yuan Rukui.

"Sir, I see that you seem to be ....... in the army" Luo Shiji didn't pay attention, and was seized by Qin Shixin to ask questions, and finally met an official who appreciated his own adults, and looking at his appearance in the army, it seemed that the grain and grass were quite abundant, Qin Shixin thought about whether he could take the opportunity to ask him for help.

But Luo Shiji thinks more far-reaching than him, now the Hedong Thief Army and the Jiazhou Regiment Training Army are two independent armies, if you let the people in the court know that they have collusion in private, it is a great deal, now Zhang Guo has offended Yuan Yu and Wang Jihe, and he has to be caught by someone who has such an important handle? Therefore, he stopped his words again, and turned to other upcoming battles, "Sir, you have dealt with that Yuan Zhang before, I don't know what this person's military strategy is?" ”

"If the two of them each lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against each other, I am not afraid of him." Li You chatted with Luo Shiji as if he hadn't heard Qin Shixin's words, "It's just that the situation in Beijing is unpredictable now, and I can't say what the prospects for this battle are." ”

Although the 200,000 army under Yuan Zhang is terrifying, it is not invincible, but they don't have so many pig teammates on their side, which is their biggest advantage, anyway, Li You doesn't want to cooperate with any of the Great Wei's troops except for Zhang Guo, and the ghost knows how they will react if they really start a war.

Zhang Guo's expression on his face froze, he seemed to hear the meaning of Li You's words, he didn't have an ordinary idea in his heart, but he was now old, and because of his identity, he couldn't say something similar, so he could only turn to ask Li You about the previous battle with Yuan Zhang, he carefully asked about the combat methods of the Mobei Tribes, weapon configuration, etc., and Li You answered them one by one.

In the end, the two sides simply took out the map and carefully studied the combat methods of the Mobei tribes from the chess pieces, Qin Shixin was still the same as if he was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but Luo Shiji and Zhang Guo's faces were becoming more and more solemn, according to Li You, the combat effectiveness of the Mobei tribes was much stronger than the thieves they had pacified before, and I am afraid that this battle would be difficult to deal with in the future.

"If it weren't for the lord's advance notice this time, Zhang would have suffered a big loss at the hands of the Beiyu in the future, and Zhang Mou's 30,000 soldiers under his command in this generation would have thanked the lord for his kindness." In the end, Zhang Guo got up and solemnly thanked Li You.

"This is all for the people of the Central Plains, and Ambassador Zhang does not need to do this." Seeing that it was not early, Li You got up to say goodbye, Zhang Guo and the three of them sent them to the gate of the camp before they gave up, and when they left, Li You seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "By the way, I met a businessman yesterday, he seems to have cheap grain in his hands, Ambassador Zhang might as well come and ask tomorrow."
