Chapter 544 Employment
Zhao Hanzhang took the team out of the party with infinite regret and failed to eat the party's buns.
When they were far away, they stopped to trim and nibble on dry food by the way.
Zhao Hanzhang took a bite of the cake in his hand that was about to fall off the slag, chewed fiercely, opened the map to look, and pointed out the location of Shi Le in Xun Xiu's report last time, if she was Wang Zhang and Shi Le, where would she enter the party?
Zhao Hanzhang avoided the path they might take, nodded to the west and said, "Let's go back from here, send someone to find Xun Xiu, and let him go back to Luoyang." ”
Zeng Yue was a little unwilling to say: "Girl, we have all entered the party, so Zhang Tao is not afraid, why not win the party in one fell swoop?" ”
"And then?" Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Are we trapped in the endless war of the Shangdang?" ”
She said: "War can only have one purpose, and that is for profit!" ”
"Whether it is the immediate benefit or the long-term benefit, it is the national interest. The position of the party is special, there is no territory of our Yuzhou army in the east, west, north and south, and there is no way to respond, we can't hold it if we occupy it, today it can be ours, tomorrow it can be Shile's, and it may also fall into the hands of Liu Cong, why occupy it? ”
Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the truckloads of gold, silver, jewelry and grain in the team and said: "If we can get these, we will be worthwhile." ”
She raised her chin slightly and said, "And let them fight like this, and give Luoyang and Yuzhou a chance to breathe, isn't it better than us taking advantage of it and being attacked by all sides?" ”
Zeng Yue was taught, "It is lowly and short-sighted." ”
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Yuan Li, let people spread the news of Wang Mi's death in Luoyang all over the world, especially in the Bingzhou area. ”
She sneered: "There are a lot of Jin State relics, relics, and remnants here, I think, they must not want to live inferiorly, right?" ”
Even if Liu Cong and Shi Le can reach an agreement, she wants them to be anxious and unable to recover all the territory controlled by Wang Mi.
Yuan Li responded and immediately arranged manpower.
After choosing a route, the group began to hurry, and as they approached Luoyang, they saw the beggars waiting on the side of the road.
Zhao Jiajun stopped ten miles away, Zeng Yue was about to go to Xuan Chenwu and others to come to visit, Zhao Hanzhang stopped him and asked him to order ten carts of grain and grass, and she personally sent them over.
Yuan Li felt that Zhao Hanzhang treated the beggar army too favorably.
Unlike the Zhao family's army, which has been living an okay life and has been in military order, the begging army is a peasant army, and there are many family rolls in it.
When Zhao Hanzhang came over, he saw that there were many children about seven or eight years old on the side of the road staring at them with big eyes, their clothes were tattered, they could barely wrap their bodies, barefoot, staring at them with big heads and small bodies, with a look of vigilance.
When they saw the ox cart behind them, their eyes lit up, and they could already guess from the arc of the sack that it was grain.
Immediately, someone happily ran to the camp and shouted excitedly: "There is a battle, there is a battle!" ”
When the people in the camp heard the children's voices, they also became happy and looked at the camp gate.
They only glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and looked at the ox cart behind her, and saw that there were only ten carts of grain, although they were a little regretful, but they were also happy.
"There's finally a fight."
"Who is going to your house this time, aren't your two sons dead?"
"I'll go, my grandson is ten years old, I'll earn food for another two years, and I'll replace him when he turns twelve."
Zhao Hanzhang's ears were sharp, and she took in the discussion and excitement of the people around her, and her eyes swept over the beggar soldiers who were sitting or lying on the ground, she lowered her eyes, pulled the horse and stopped.
Chen Wu, who was having a headache to prepare a gift for Zhao Hanzhang, heard that Zhao Hanzhang personally brought grain and grass, and immediately ran out with his subordinates.
Seeing Zhao Hanzhang on the horse outside the camp gate, Chen Wu immediately walked out quickly, and kicked a few soldiers blocking the road on the way, and scolded secretly: "Hurry up, hurry up, what does it look like to be lazy and lazy?" ”
"Isn't that what you said about moving less, lying down more, and saving food?"
Chen Wu secretly glared at the veteran who spoke to refute him, and then raised his head with a smile on his face, raised his hand and hugged his fists all the way out, "Why didn't General Zhao say it in advance?" It was rude and rude not to be able to go out to meet the general. ”
Zhao Hanzhang dismounted, also raised his hand and saluted back, and said with a smile: "I heard that the beggar army is brave, so Hanzhang wants to come and see it in person." ”
Chen Wu's face was a little embarrassed, and Li Tou and Feng Long behind him had already shouted, making the soldiers lying half-dead and sitting around him get up and line up.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to stop it, and said with a smile: "I believe in General Chen, and I also believe in the beggar army, and I also know that the soldiers are hungry like this, so there is no need to be too polite." ”
When Chen Wu heard this, he couldn't wait to hold Zhao Hanzhang's hand and complained, but unfortunately she was a girl and it was not easy to hold hands, so Chen Wu pulled his narrow sleeves and wiped his tears and said: "Yes, they are all hungry, and they are usually clean and tidy." ”
Feng Long and Li Tou behind him opened their eyes and said nonsense, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, they usually prohibit it, as long as they are full, there is nothing to say about fighting." ”
Zhao Hanzhang pointed to the ten carts of military grain behind him and said: "There is not a lot of grain and grass brought this time, so I will pad the brothers first." ”
Chen Wu didn't care what Zhao Hanzhang wanted them to do, anyway, she was a Jin minister, not to fight the emperor, she could beat anyone, so Chen Wu looked at Feng Long and said politely: "That's so embarrassing, leave these chores to the people below to do, General Zhao, let's talk inside." ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded.
Seeing that she was young and a kind-faced girl, Chen Wu was very happy and enthusiastic, and when she saw Zhao Erlang following her, she greeted her cordially, "This is Zhao Erlangjun, right?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and asked Zhao Erlang to greet Chen Wu.
Chen Wu said with a smile: "Erlangjun is really powerful, I heard that he is now a county guard, and there are not many young county guards like Erlangjun in the world." ”
In fact, there are a lot, all of them are sealed by themselves, and now a thorn or county guard can divide one side, they will naturally give their children an official to do, and there are many people who are named officials at the age of five or six, although the official does not recognize it.
Zhao Hanzhang and Chen Wu politely exchanged words, and began to ask about their strength.
Chen Wu did not hide this aspect, he has been working for people to fight, he is too familiar with this aspect, he said: "I have 5,000 soldiers now. ”
Zhao Hanzhang: "How many family rolls are there for non-soldiers?" ”
"This ......," Chen Wu said: "General Zhao doesn't have to worry, they eat the rations earned by the soldiers, and they will not encroach on the general's military rations." ”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "General Chen misunderstood, I just want to know more about it, so I can arrange what you want to do next." ”
Chen Wu then said: "Family scroll...... There are about 6,000 people. ”
There are indeed quite a few, no wonder they are so hungry, basically one of them works to feed the other, and many of them must be their source of soldiers.
Chen Wu also asked curiously, "I don't know who General Zhao wants to invite us to fight?" King of Nanyang? Jia Taishou, or General Gou? ”
Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but ask: "Can you fight these people?" ”
Chen Wu nodded confidently, "As long as the general is willing to give grain, grass and money." "But if he wins or loses, he's not sure.
