Chapter 016: Falling into the Bag for Safety
"What if Hao Meng can't rebel, or if the two of them don't have the guts?" Han Yin asked.
Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "Then spend money to buy his daughter..."
Han Yin was ecstatic when he heard this, and said in his heart, don't rebel too early, you have to let me send the dowry to Xiapi first.
Seeing Han Yin's worried face, Yuan Shu had a gloomy smile on his face.
"That Hao Meng and Chen Gong are all antipathetic, if Lu Bu is not obedient in the future, he can also make Xuzhou chaotic, send a few rumors over, it will be enough for Lu Bu to drink a pot."
"The Lord is wise... No... It is His Majesty who is wise. Han Yin hurriedly complimented.
When Yuan Shu heard the praise, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Although the emperor is preparing to ascend the throne, but after all, there is no sacrificial ceremony, and it will be until next spring at the earliest.
"The minister can save it." Han Yin bowed down.
Yuan Shu waited until mid-August, but Xiapi didn't come with the news he wanted, but Xiao Pei had new information.
Liu Bei, who was taken in by Lu Bu, was funded by Shangjia and was recruiting troops near Xiaopei, which seemed to have the intention of making a comeback.
"This mat weaver and shoe seller."
Yuan Shu listened to the report and took the case, he could tolerate Lu Bu's temporary occupation of Xuzhou, but he couldn't get used to seeing Liu Bei jumping around under his nose.
Yuan Shu felt that Liu Bei was Cao Cao's shadow, and he couldn't leave him half a chance, so he named Yan Xiang.
"Wen Ze, how are you preparing for the dowry that Lu Bu wants?"
Yan Xiang replied: "Gold, silver, cloth, ordnance and other things are ready, but the military rations need to be requisitioned from all over the country have not yet arrived, and there are more than 100,000 yuan of grain in Shouchun, and when all the dowry is all raised, it will take more than half a month." ”
"It's only 200,000 Hu, and you need to prepare for a month? What's going on? Yuan Shu frowned.
Yan Xiang replied: "The counties of Lujiang are far away, and half of them are not connected to waterways, so it is indeed time-consuming to transport grain..."
Yuan Shu secretly thought that the current Lujiang was too incompetent, and he would replace him when he ascended the throne next year and became emperor, he nodded noncommittally, and then instructed Han Yin:
"Now that the gold, silver and cloth are ready, you will first load 50,000 grains and transport them to Xiapi, and then block Lu Bu's mouth first."
"Huh? Fifty thousand? Master Yan doesn't mean that Shouchun has more than 100,000..."
Han Yin looked at Yuan Shu with a puzzled expression, and said in his heart You bargain so hard, how can I share the spoils with Long Xiang when I come down?
"The rest of the military rations are used for other purposes, and 200,000 Hu is not a small amount, so it is not an exaggeration to send them to Xiapi in batches." Yuan Shu replied solemnly.
"Yui." Han Yin nodded reluctantly.
Yuan Shu said again: "After you arrive in Xiapi, you will stay a few more days, discuss marriage, and watch Lu Bu by the way, so that he will not send troops to help Liu Bei." ”
"It's... The dowry of the lord is not enough, and I am worried about Na Lu Bu..."
Han Yin swallowed his saliva, a look of embarrassment on his face.
"The dowry will be delivered in batches, and before our army arrives in Xiaopei, the follow-up military rations will have already arrived in Xiapi, and you can send people to Lujiang to supervise the grain, and send it away directly by water." Yuan Shu waved his hand disapprerovingly.
"I'll save it, I'll do it..."
Han Yin bowed, then turned around and walked out of the main hall, he was thinking about how to share the spoils with Long Xiang all the way.
Yuan Shu then ordered Ji Ling: "Liu Bei recruited troops in Xiaopei, and he must secretly collude with Cao Cao, and with 100,000 soldiers and horses in Rusu, he is ready to set off on the day to destroy the big-eared thief." ”
"Yui." Ji Ling came out of the class and hugged his fists sonorously.
Yuan Shu mobilized 100,000 troops to fight, and it took a long time to complete the preparation.
According to the military system of the Han Dynasty, an integrated army of 3,200 people will not exceed 5,000 even if it is overnumbered.
Ji Ling has to coordinate more than 20 armies, and he has to face nearly 100 officers above the rank of general, and he needs to complete the preparation before the expedition to ensure that the orders and prohibitions of the whole army are enforced.
Because of Han Yin's recommendation, Long Xiang was promoted by Yuan Shu to be a military commander, and the number of soldiers under his command reached 400.
The assembly of various departments and battalions made Shouchun instantly agitated, and Long Xiang and Han Yin went to the dock to load the ship and discuss face-to-face how to 'divide the spoils'.
"The dowry that Lu Bu asked for by name is only military rations and ordnance, and the gold, silver and cloth on the ship are your and my rewards, and when the fleet reaches the boundary of Xuzhou, we will find a way to transfer it."
Han Yin stroked his beard with one hand, looking like he was a bamboo on his chest.
"Those military rations and ordnance, really all of them were given to Lu Bu? The two hundred new ones have not yet been distributed, so can you deduct some of them? Long Xiang asked with humble eyes.
Han Yin was stunned for a moment, and reminded: "Long Sima, you are so confused, no matter how elite you are to arm the pawns, as long as you die on the battlefield, won't the armor and weapons become someone else's?" Or take some gold, silver and cloth, buy a field and a house, and settle down for safety. ”
"But the brothers are working hard for me, if I don't think about them, I can't guarantee that I won't shake this matter out in the future, it's better to be wet with rain and dew..."
Han Yin pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed: "Okay, just do it according to your wishes." ”
"In addition, the soldiers often complain that they can't eat enough of the food distributed in the army, and the last general also wants to deduct some of the 200,000 Hu military rations."
Faced with Long Xiang's request, Han Yin immediately showed a heavy look, only to see him holding his goatee and saying, "Yunqi, you have to inch in, which makes Han quite embarrassed..."
Long Xiang said suddenly: "In the past Kuangting battle, with my father who died in battle, they left a lot of family members like me, now I know that there are one or two thousand people, Long is fortunate to inherit his father's shadow to make up for the military position, but the rest of the people are struggling between hunger and food and clothing, I am ashamed, I can't sleep at night, I always want to do my best to help them..."
Han Yin was stunned when he heard this, and immediately persuaded him seriously: "Yunqi is young and kind, Han admires it from the bottom of his heart, but he thinks that this move is unwise, and now the heroes are rising up, the world is in chaos, and sometimes it can't be a woman's kindness..."
Without waiting for Han Yin to finish speaking, Long Xiang threw out another distribution plan.
"The gold, silver, and cloth all belong to Mr., and what if only some grain will be withheld at the end?"
"This..."
Han Yin's eyes widened like copper bells, he didn't expect Long Xiang to be so benevolent and righteous, but when he thought about it, he was overjoyed, after all, the other party chose not to have money, and he could swallow it completely.
A 'stupid' request like Long Xiang has never been encountered by Han Yin in his life.
"Yunqi wants to be benevolent and righteous, if Han refuses to be virtuous, then it will be decided, but the first batch of grain can't be moved, how about you go to detain the grain of Lujiang?"
"That's okay, I'll allocate half of the soldiers to go first, wait for the grain in Lujiang County to be raised, and then transport it to Xiapi to meet with Mr."
Long Xiang nodded in agreement.
"Yunqi is enough to transfer me 20 people, it is not easy for you to transfer military rations, it is advisable to bring more people to Lujiang."
Han Yin waved his hand lightly and behaved politely, he also had his own heart for a few people, because he had been planning to make a fortune for so long, he was afraid that Long Xiang would be black in the end.
"Just Mr. Yi, the matter is urgent, the last general will lead the troops to Lujiang tomorrow morning, and we will meet in the future." Long Xiang clenched his fists and wanted to leave.
Han Yin hurriedly stopped and reminded: "The grain and grass from the counties of Lujiang will be transported to Lu'an as usual, and then it will be loaded on the ship and taken by water. ”
"Thank you, Mr. for reminding me, the general will definitely plan well." Although Long Xiang hugged his fists and thanked him, he already had a ravine in his heart.
