Quartz has never been accustomed to living in a mansion, Wugang County Shoufu is indeed luxurious and comfortable, although Quartz does not feel luxurious, but also wants to live there, he feels that people are too comfortable to let his brain stop running, he is a general who has the responsibility of guarding the city for the imperial court, General Ma Tong died strangely, he is Ma Tong's pro-army commander but that day he was called by Duan Wan to receive the intercepted Xiao Yu's grain and grass, he is not doubting that Duan Wan can intercept Xiao Yu's grain and grass, but how can it be so coincidental that day.

When he retired from Shaoling afterwards, he wanted to ask Duan Wan about the specific reason for Ma Tong's assassination, but Duan Wan was transferred to Luzhou as the commander, and Cao Li directly sent him to Wugang to garrison after taking over, he understood what Cao Li meant, after all, he was the commander of Ma Tong's pro-army, Cao Li couldn't trust him, he didn't care about it, whether he stayed in Baoqing or stationed in Wugang, they all served the imperial court, and there was no difference.

Garrisoning Wugang Quartz felt that it was quite relaxed and happy, after all, there was an agreement with the Gu family, and the two sides got along harmoniously, and the front line of Lingling was still Gu Qufeng, a genius general of the Gu family.

Clinker suddenly changed, Mengyan's army took Linwu lightly in the rainy season with lightning speed and then divided the troops to Lingling, Gu's defeat, Meng's soldiers pointed directly at Shaoling, and they lost their daily training to build the city wall is quite diligent, even so it is a little unbearable, the focus is still a lack of food, some time ago, Baoqing City can still transport grain and grass by water, but Baoqing has not seen the ship for five consecutive days, he does not doubt that Cao Li will do something to him at this time, he is worried that the waterway between Wugang and Baoqing is cut off by Mengyan.

"General, there is still no news from Baoqing City, and the food in the army has been less than three days." Quartz's thoughts were interrupted by a reminder from the pro-soldier.

"What's going on outside the city?" Quartz asked.

"It's very strange, after yesterday's night battle, I thought that I would attack during the day, but the other side was silent, and the report just now said that the retreat outside the southern city was clean, and the soldiers on the opposite side were still fishing and bathing in the river." The guard replied.

Quartz fell into contemplation again, what kind of fucking battle is this, fighting desperately when it shouldn't be fought, but resting when it's time to fight, and this is too different from the way it played a few days ago, there is no discipline at all, is it the opposite side of the change?

"Madam, I'll still send someone to send you back to Chencheng to recuperate, if you don't want to go back to Chencheng, Shaonancheng is fine, and I feel more relieved to have my father-in-law look at me." Meng Yan comforted while waiting for Cang Shu Haoyue to drink soup.

"Don't go back, Baoqing is fine, you're busy with you, I won't make trouble for you." Cang Shu Haoyue said coquettishly.

"This is before the army, it is very dangerous, can you be obedient if you are pregnant." Meng Yan said patiently.

"The city is full of your people, where is there danger, even if there is danger, don't forget that I am also a person who has been on the battlefield, I am not afraid, besides, you didn't send the pear to the battlefield, you are not afraid of hurting her Sanniang to trouble you?" Cang Shu Haoyue had a mocking tone.

"Crisp pear just went to deliver the letter, and besides, there is no problem with her water-based self-preservation." Meng Yan argued.

Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly stared at Meng Yan, stared at it for a while, squinted her eyes and said, "You don't plan to let women lead the army, right?" ”

"Madame is really smart, but she has this plan, if she can accept quartz, I plan to let the pear lead the guards, supplemented by quartz, so that Shaoling can be stabilized as soon as possible, and the old and new barriers in the army can be eliminated." Meng Yan did not hide it.

"There are two meanings for the Crisp Pear Army, one is to seal my mouth and refuse to take a concubine, but to solve the problems of concern of the Quartet for Crisp Pear, right?" Cang Shu Haoyue didn't believe that Meng Yan would only have the idea of stabilizing Shao Ling, Meng Yan always liked to keep his hands behind, once Crisp Pear took over as his Guard, no matter who it was, it would be impossible to chase the forces behind Crisp Pear anymore.

Meng Yan nodded in recognition of what Haoyue said, and then said: "And Madame, you should remember that I Meng Yan has a bad fate, fortunately Madame does not give up, I can't marry a wife and concubine again, so you still have this thought." ”

Cangshu Haoyue was happy in her heart, Meng Yan's love words have always been so straightforward, and she proposed to let Na Shu Li be a concubine first, she wanted to spread more branches and leaves for Meng's family, and it was more to test Meng Yan's sincerity, don't look at Xiao Yu and Xiahou Ying seem to be in harmony with the piano, but Xiao Yu's mansion already has three side concubines and four concubines, and the Shaochuan County Mansion is the only one, and the outside is already rumored that the Shaochuan County Duke is afraid of the inside, forget it, if you don't accept a concubine, you won't accept a concubine, and you can have a few more children, thinking of this, her face is hot, and she squirmed and said: "You can speak, Wait for the day when I'm old and yellow, see if you can still say it. ”

Meng Yan saw Cang Shu Haoyue's little daughter's posture, and her heart itched, but looking at Haoyue's big belly, she thought about it or forgot it, and said: "If Madam really doesn't want to leave, help me sort out the paperwork and letterheads, Nie Huan has already complained to me about the lack of manpower two days ago." ”

"Well, by the way, our county lord has a crush on pears or quartz?" Cang Shu Haoyue said playfully.

"The women's army is the best, I can only grieve quartz, I have to let the world know that there is no big difference between men and women, and my pro-army has the responsibility of supervision, and it can be regarded as sharing some for the Tianxuan battalion, isn't it?" Meng Yan is meaningful.

Cang Shu Haoyue's expression moved lightly, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "You are right, you should do this, I hope that the pear can successfully make Quartz bow his head this time." ”

"General, the proprietor of the East Gate Grain Store asks to see you." A personal guard reported to Quartz.

Quartz was studying where there was a breakthrough to kill some people to make a living, and he judged that Baoqing City was basically gone, no food was delivered, no soldiers fled over, and the upstream river was quiet and abnormal.

At this time, there are still grain merchants who are willing to come over, quartz frowned and said: "I personally looked for them two days ago, they used various excuses not to release grain, crying poor, at this time, I guess I came to find that there is no movement outside the city today, and I came to talk about the conditions, I don't want to see them and let them talk to the county guard." "Quartz has always been contemptuous of merchants.

"I'm afraid not, the young owner of the Dongmen Grain Store has designated to see you, if you don't want to believe her, close the door immediately, and their young owner is a woman, and only bring the bookkeeper and a guard." The guards were embarrassed.

The words "closed the door and closed the market" still reminded the quartz, now at this time there is only one grain store to do this move, I am afraid that it will affect the entire Wugang City, now the food supply of the people in the city is still maintained by various grain lines, if the people are closed and the people have no food, the city will inevitably be in chaos, the people have no good impression of the army of the imperial court, once there is a conflict, I am afraid the situation will be uncontrollable.

Thinking of this, Quartz said within, "Please let her in, what the hell will I see what she wants to do?!" 'Closed Doors'! "It's always not nice to be threatened and to be a businessman.

Su Qing took Ye Nan and Mo Geng dressed as businessmen and slowly walked into the lobby of Quartz, and the guards standing in the hall pointed at the three of them with their swords out of their sheaths and crossbows, saying that it was fake not to be nervous, but fortunately, Su Qing accompanied Zhong Roulan to see a lot of the world, and she also came forward to do a lot of the reception of the county mansion, so she calmed down and said with a smile: "Su Qing of the East Gate Grain Store has seen General Shi. Su Qing mixed Shaoling dialect and Lingling dialect that he had just learned, so that he could save the suspicion of quartz.

Quartz stared at the three of them with unkind eyes and didn't speak, only to see the guard whisper: "We have checked that the Dongmen Grain Store belongs to the Su family, a merchant in Lingling." ”

"Miss Su, Lingling is now the place of Chenguo, aren't you afraid that General Ben will kidnap you as a spy?!" Quartz scared.

Su Qing chuckled and said, "Is General Shi so scared by me?" The Su family has been a businessman in Lingling for many years, and even Baoqing City also has our Su family's business name, and Cao Tingshi didn't treat me as a spy, but why are you? ”

Seeing that he couldn't be frightened, Quartz admired Su Qing quite in his heart, and his expression eased and said stiffly: "Miss Su, the grain merchants in the city are unwilling to lend grain to the army, so if you have any conditions, just say it." ”

"There are no conditions, all the grain from the Dongmen Grain Store will be given to the army, and the general can let people go over to receive it now, Mr. Mo, you can tell the general about the grain stockpile." Su Qing said lightly, unfazed.

Mo more? The surname Mo is not common, it just so happened that Quartz knew about the Lingling Mo family, and Ma Tong had dealings with the Mo family when he was still there, and later the Mo family offended the Gu family and was copied, and the children of the family were scattered and disappeared, so it turned out that he worked for the Su family.

"There are a total of 6,000 quintals of grain in the East Gate Grain Bank, which can be used for three days' rations for the army." Mo even looks like a merchant philistine.

This kind of merchant's temperament can't be pretended, but where can there be 6,000 quintals in such a large place as the grain bank, and he wondered: "Mr. Mo, are you deceiving me that I don't understand the operation of the business bank?" With your ability, you can't hold so much food in Wugang City. ”

"General, don't worry, of course the grain store can't store this grain, this grain is in..." Mo was about to say it, but was stopped by Su Qing.

"Mr. Mo, be cautious, you're talking too much." Su Qing pretended to be mysterious.

"What do you mean Miss Su?" Quartz's interest was piqued.

"General, you are short of food in the army, I have food in my hands, if it is known by someone who cares, do you think you can still keep it? Besides, the price has not been discussed, what do you think? Su Qing said with a slightly nervous expression.

Quartz was a little embarrassed, knowing that he was too anxious, and the military rations were confidential at any time, Quartz, who knew that he was speechless, hugged his fists and said: "Miss Su reminds me that the price is easy to say, please Miss Su enter the inner hall for a while," After speaking, he said to the guards: "Prepare tea, let people guard the surroundings of the inner hall, I have important matters to discuss with Miss Su." ”

After the two entered the inner hall and sat down, Su Qing took a sip of tea and frowned, and said, "General, your tea is really bitter." ”

Quartz suppressed his disdain, squeezed out a smile and said, "The army is naturally not as good as Miss Su's home, please make do." ”

"Okay, it seems that General Shi is in a hurry, our grain and grass are thirty miles away from the South River, and General Shi can take it himself." Su Qing said with a smile.

Quartz stood up suddenly, quickly pulled out the saber on his waist and pointed at Su Qing, and asked vigilantly: "The place you said is the camp opposite, who are you?!" ”

Su Qing opened his hands to show that he was not hostile, and slowly took out a letter from his arms and motioned for Quartz to take a look, and Quartz kept staring at Su Qing with a watchful expression, while picking up the letter with a sword and putting it in his hand.

After reading it, the complicated expression on Quartz's face kept changing, and then he looked at it several times repeatedly, and after confirming it, he said to Su Qing, who was still struggling to taste, "Is this true?" ”

"I don't have to lie to you, and there is no need for the county prince to frame us as the county king for a Wugang city, believe it or not." Su Qing gently put down the teacup.

"Take me to see Meng Yan, I want to ask him face to face." Quartz still couldn't believe that Ma Tong's death was done by the important ministers of the court and Xiao Yu.

Su Qing shook his head, "No, Baoqing City has been taken by the county prince, and you only have two choices, fight to the death or revolt." Su Qing deliberately accentuated his voice on the "uprising".

"Uprising? Why not surrender? What do you mean? Quartz was puzzled.

"Literally, the county prince hopes that you will think about whether this court is worth protecting, when the court will be played with by others."

"Could it be that Chenguo is worth protecting?" Quartz still doesn't want to give up easily.

"The people in the south of the country of Chenguo live and work in peace and contentment, you must know, since the army went north, they have seen everything clearly, never disturbed the people, and the people have welcomed them, how many of the people in this Wugang City are facing the imperial court?" Su Qing stimulated the quartz word by word.

Quartz hesitated, the room quieted down, Su Qing brewed the tea unhurriedly, tasted it and was not satisfied, poured it and continued to brew, and finally heard Quartz say slowly when he poured out the tea for the seventh time: "What are the conditions of the county prince?" ”

"The county prince invites you and your subordinates to join the Bai Ze Army as a personal guard battalion."

"The county prince is not afraid that I will take the opportunity to kill him and ask the court for credit?" Quartz asked rhetorically.

"Will General Shi?" Su Qing stood up, she knew Quartz's choice.

"Hahaha! The county prince trusts his life, and Quartz is willing to serve his life! "There is still an element of persecution in the decision of the uprising just now, and now Meng Yan's invitation to let him enter the guard camp has made him completely let go of the mustard in his heart.

"Well, since the general has made a choice, I should also inform General Jin Qian, after the army enters the city, the general can directly lead his subordinates and me to go north along the river to Baoqing City to meet the county duke." After Su Qing finished speaking, he directly pushed the door and prepared to go out.

"Dare to ask if Miss Su's real name is Su Qing?" Quartz asked suddenly.

Su Qing turned his head and smiled slyly and said, "Yes, my name is Su Qing," and then stepped out of the door and said, "By the way, General Shi, I love to eat crispy pear cakes." ”
