Chapter 3: Iron Rooster Feathers
When Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun heard this, they hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it!" If it is feasible, the old man will be rewarded! ”
Li Hui said: "There is no need for rewards, if you can recruit soldiers and give me a lieutenant to do, what do the two generals think?" Huangfu Song was stunned: "In this ......, although the captain is not a big official, he can be regarded as an important minister of the country, and the two of us may not be able to call the shots." ”
Zhu Jun said: "Alas? As long as Brother Li can fill all the barracks of the Southern Army with soldiers, General Huangfu and I will definitely guarantee to Your Majesty, with the protection of the two of us, it is not difficult to be a small captain, Brother Li should tell me your strategy as soon as possible, how about it? ”
"Good!" Li Hui said: "With the words of the two generals, I, Li Hui, must approach the empty southern army camp and fill it with soldiers as soon as possible." ”
Huangfu Song said: "Boy, don't boast about Haikou, tell me what you think first." ”
Li Hui smiled slightly: "If there are no soldiers, recruit soldiers, how could the two generals not think of such a simple thing?" ”
"Humph!" Huangfu Song snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know how to recruit soldiers, but don't you need money, food, and ordnance to recruit soldiers?" With just the two of us, even if we lose all our net worth, we won't be able to recruit a school of soldiers! ”
Li Hui said with a smile: "I know that the two generals are Qing officials and don't have much savings, so think about who is the richest person in the world now?" ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun thought carefully and thought for a long time, and at the same time opened their mouths, but neither of them spoke. Li Hui said: "The richest person in the world is the current emperor, his country is in chaos, how can he not say it if he doesn't pay for it!" I promise that as long as General Huangfu writes an excerpt like His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely come up with money to fund the two of you! ”
Huangfu Song and even Liu Hong's thoughts, the current emperor is indeed not very good as an emperor, and it is first-class to pick up pleasure and business. As a business emperor, it is easy to make money, but it is difficult to make money. Anyway, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have no plan now, so they will stop Li Hui for a while.
Early the next morning, Huangfu Song's recital was placed on Zhang Rang's desk. Zhang Rang saw that Huangfu Song actually asked the emperor for money, and shook out all the affairs of the Southern Army. He also has a share in the empty salary of the Southern Army, if the emperor sees this twist. In this extraordinary period, the emperor is worried about the thief, and maybe his life will be difficult to protect.
Zhang Rang thought about it for a long time, and he came up with a plan, and wrote a new book for the emperor according to Huangfu Song's handwriting. In this compromise, there is no mention of the Southern Army, but I beg Your Majesty to come up with some money to comfort the soldiers on the front line, so that the soldiers can kill the thieves to the death.
When Liu Hong saw this movement, his whole body began to feel uncomfortable. Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty, this Huangfu Song is also a good intention, as the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as Your Majesty takes out some money, the soldiers will fight to kill the thieves, and when you seize the states and counties controlled by the Yellow Turban Thieves, Your Majesty's lost money will definitely be able to make up for it!" ”
Liu Hong smiled: "Ah, father, say it quickly!" ”
Zhang Rang said: "The old slave heard that wherever the Yellow Turban thieves went, they burned, killed and looted, and especially liked to kill officials, Your Majesty, imagine that there are no officials in those places, and the business of our West Garden will definitely be full of sesame flowers!" Hey hey ......"
Liu Hong laughed and kept patting Zhang Rang's back with his hand. In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to allocate 3 million money from the palace treasury to reward the soldiers, and transferred more than 1,000 war horses from the West Garden, and at the same time ordered the ministers to donate money and materials to fund military expenses.
Huangfu Song laughed: "Boy, yes, I didn't expect you to really say it, Your Majesty is really Shengming!" Okay, tomorrow we will post a notice and start recruiting! ”
"Wait!" Li Hui said: "How many people can be recruited with this money, even if you recruit soldiers, you still have to raise soldiers, I don't know if General Huangfu has ever thought about the problem in the future?" Huangfu Song not only glanced at Li Hui twice, but said in his heart: This kid really has some ability! Huangfu Song asked, "Then in your opinion, how should we recruit troops?" ”
Li Hui said: "How to recruit, I can't say now, can the two generals hand over this matter to me, I promise that within ten days, I will recruit enough people from the eighth school!" How is it? ”
Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Hui. They suddenly felt unfamiliar with the young man in front of them, and they were usually in front of the two old fellows, playing tricks and tricks, which made them very happy. From these two things, they couldn't help but have some curiosity about Li Hui.
Zhu Jun said: "Okay, in that case, General Huangfu, we will hand it over to him, I want to see Xiao Lizi's method." ”
Early the next morning, around Luoyang, two notices were posted at various city gates and intersections overnight. The first one is written about how powerful and brutal the Hebei Yellow Turban thieves are, killing people when they see them, and robbing things when they see them. Residents of Luoyang can even meet people who have fled from Hebei on the streets, and the content of the notice is very consistent with the content of the notice.
The second notice was a conscription notice issued by the Southern Army, which said that it hoped that everyone would enthusiastically join the army to surround their homes. It was also said that the ordnance was provided by the imperial court, and the imperial court divided the spoils into three, the captured ones were thirty percent, and the remaining forty percent were the condolences of the deceased. This notice caused an uproar throughout Luoyang City.
Huangfu Song hurriedly brought Li Hui over and said angrily: "Boy, are you recruiting soldiers or robbers?" Li Hui was stunned, and Zhu Jun said: "Brother Li, your method of dividing the spoils of war is a bit sensational, if this is known to the imperial court, let alone you, I and General Huangfu's heads will probably be lost!" ”
Li Hui understood now, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, two adults, as long as you take some measures, not only will the two generals not be implicated, but they may also be promoted, hehe......" Li Hui smiled very mysteriously. Without the consent of the two generals, Li Hui turned around and left the big tent.
Feng Zhen hurriedly ran to Zhang Rang's room and said, "Lord Zhang, it's not good! Huangfu Song's southern army issued a recruitment notice! ”
Zhang Rang smiled: "The Southern Army has been paid empty for all these years, and Huangfu Song wants to fight, can we not recruit soldiers?" Calm, calm! ”
Feng Yu said: "There is nothing to recruit soldiers, he wants to distribute the spoils of war privately!" ”
"What?" When Zhang Rang heard this, he slapped it on the table: "Okay, you Huangfu Song, you deliberately ask Your Majesty for money, and you want to embezzle the spoils of war, do you want to rebel?" ”
Feng Yu said: "Lord Zhang, this Huangfu Song has always been at odds with us, why don't you take this opportunity to get rid of it?" You see? ”
Zhang Rang walked around the room twice and said, "No, Huangfu Song is an important member of the Shilin faction, it's not that you can get rid of it, let me think about it again, I have to think of a foolproof strategy!" ”
