Chapter 62: Buy some wood

Early in the morning, Chen Qun rode his horse to the riverbank worriedly.

He didn't bring any guards with him this time, not even his most trusted personal attendant, and it was evident from his crooked crown that he was extremely anxious when he went out, and he didn't even comb his hair properly, and he didn't have half of his Coats demeanor.

Cao Jun on the riverside bowed down and saluted when he saw him, and Chen Qun waved his hand and asked them to be exempt from the salute in annoyance.

"What about Yunshan, who came to deliver food yesterday?" He asked anxiously as he pulled through a soldier.

The soldier inexplicably stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance, Chen Qun followed his gaze, and saw that on a big boat by the river, Yun Shan was holding a long knife in his hand, and he was dismantling and practicing the method of water combat with the soldier.

Although Yun Shan was young, he was extremely solid in martial arts, and he patiently taught martial arts to the soldiers on the boat, and did not shy away from the watching of other soldiers at all, and the scene was quite lively.

Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over, and sent someone to call Yunshan over.

After a while, Guan Ping hurried over, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a linen cloth, and solemnly bowed.

Chen Qun hurriedly helped him up and whispered:

"What did you do last night?"

Guan Ping said honestly:

"I went with Mr. Ji Chang to see Gong Kuai last night."

"Kuaiyue?"

Seeing Guan Ping nodding, the big stone in Chen Qun's heart finally landed.

He got the news today that the person who took Fu Xun yesterday entered Fu Xun's house in the name of joining the army in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and quickly killed the guards sent by Cao Cao before.

You must know that there are only two people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who joined the army, one is Fu Xun, and the other is Chen Qun......

Regardless of whether Fu Xun left voluntarily or not, if he could cooperate with Guan Ping so much, he would definitely tell all about Jiangling's defense in the future.

Cao Cao was extremely angry, thinking that there was a problem with the high-level in the army, and now he was investigating - Chen Qun had been with Liu Bei for a long time before, and this time this kind of thing happened, with Cao Cao's suspicious temperament, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he must be very unhappy in his heart.

It's easy to say with Kuaiyue testifying.

Hey, but Fu Xun can defect, and Kuai Yue can't say.

Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"If anyone asks again, just say, last night I commanded you and others to intercept Guan Ping, but Guan Ping has a large number of generals, and there are ...... Zhou Yu led the navy to come in person, so he returned in vain. โ€

"Ah......" Guan Ping froze on the spot, "This, can this work?" โ€

"Why not?" Chen Qunhu said with a blushing face, "Don't worry, I have my own opinions on the rest of the things - I'm lifting you, is it because you don't listen to me?" โ€

"Don't dare!"

"Then tell me, what did you do when you met Kuai Yue last night?"

Guan Ping said solemnly: "Last night, I separated from Kuai Gong and returned to the camp, and I happened to hear that Guan Ping was in turmoil, so I led my subordinates to chase after him, I only hated Guan Ping for having many soldiers, and there were reinforcements in Jiangdong who called themselves Zhou Yu, I couldn't resist it, so I watched Guan Ping run away."

Chen Shenjun personally came to dispatch us to kill the thieves last night, did you forget to join the army. โ€

Chen Qun nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, that's it. You worked hard last night, and your subordinates suffered a lot of injuries, well, I asked someone to send you some bereavement pensions, so that your subordinates can ...... Well, all, all ......"

It can be seen that Chen Qun wants Guan Ping to give his subordinates meaning, Guan Ping nodded slowly, indicating that he understands what he means, Chen Qun also said that Guan Ping is very interesting, the two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had been friends for many years.

After Guan Ping sent Fu Xun away at night, he naturally turned around and returned to Jiangling.

He finally figured out the identity of Yunshan, the general of the Cao Army, and the character design was almost added, how could he expose his identity in order to kidnap Fu Xun.

Everyone can testify that it was the Han general Guan Ping who took Fu Xun away yesterday, and what does it have to do with Yunshan, the general of the Cao army.

Cai Mao's cowhide blew loudly before, saying that God had to call him God in Jingzhou Haotian, and Guan Ping's uncle couldn't call him in vain, so Cai Mao had to share some of the pressure.

Besides, Cai Mao's money hasn't been received yet.

As if he was worried that Guan Ping had sold himself, Cai Mao quickly sent Guan Ping money to buy grain at noon.

A whole boatload of money was sent to Guan Ping, and this tempting copper color made Guan Ping quite excited to look at it.

The veteran who came to deliver the money said with a smile: "Boy, everyone else wants food, what are you doing with so much five-baht money?" โ€

Guan Ping said humbly:

"Boy Meng Lang, let the elders smile."

"I just want to know why.

Even if you want to buy something, you can just buy it with grain, and this copper coin is not easy to carry. โ€

He picked up a copper coin from the boat and weighed it in his hand: "This thing is usually used in good times, but it should not be eaten or drunk when it is carried on the march and fighting, if it is dropped, it will be too distressing." โ€

Guan Ping said with a smile:

"Yes."

Seeing that Guan Ping didn't want to tell him why, the old man frowned a little unhappily:

"Why are you so unhappy? Are you still afraid that the old man will rob you of your good deeds? โ€

Guan Ping smiled without saying a word, and casually diverted the topic:

"I haven't asked the elder yet."

"I can't talk about the big name, the old man Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng, the old man of Jingzhou, insulting Xiaoguan Gongzun."

Huang Zhong?!

When Guan Ping got the "history book" of the devil before, he used to look for it slowly according to the part where Guan Yu appeared, and vaguely remembered that Huang Zhong had a certain connection with his father, this person ...... It seems that I will be the general of my army in the future.

Guan Ping was a little dazed for a while, not knowing how to recruit this person, but Huang Zhong lowered his head mysteriously:

"I've heard something."

"Ugh."

"Cao Gong is going to march. You are good at water warfare, and you are not Deju's subordinate, this opportunity to make meritorious service has come. โ€

"What about Uncle Huang?"

"Hahaha, what does it have to do with me? I beat Cao Hong before, and now everyone in the Cao family wants my life, and I have already found an errand to go to Xiangyang on business. โ€

He stretched out his big fan-like hand and patted Guan Ping's shoulder, "Tanzhi, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future." โ€

ยท

Guan Ping received the money and went straight to Cao Jun's riverside camp to hang out.

With Chen Qun as a guarantee, he was not the subject of investigation, looking at the aggrieved and unwilling faces of a group of Cao soldiers, Guan Ping was a little emotional, opened his mouth to switch to a thick northern dialect, and talked to those soldiers.

To tell the truth, Cao Jun's Tuntian soldiers were really miserable, they were like serfs, they wore the most torn clothes, and they could only stuff some straw into their clothes to keep warm in the cold wind, not to mention any extra money.

Before Guan Ping sold grain, they wanted to buy it, but because of the lack of money, they could only watch - they couldn't use rations to buy rations so outrageous.

When Guan Ping talked to them, he said that there was still food to sell recently, and these people were all looking forward to it, and then they were quite gloomy.

"Hey, what do we have to do with the noble man selling grain? I just hope that this battle can be finished as soon as possible, and let us go home and farm. โ€

Guan Ping smiled and said:

"I have the money, how about buying some wood from you?"

"Wood?" A few soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all a little surprised.

"Do you use money?"

"Yes."

"Can you buy it with cloth?"

"No, no, no, I only use money to buy, you take the money, you can buy food later."

Although I don't know why Shangguan did this kind of thing of taking off his pants and farting, several soldiers still gritted their teeth:

"Cheng, isn't it wood? What kind of wood does Shangguan want? โ€
