After everyone retreated, Zhuang Shaoyou was also a little tired and went back to his room to rest.

When I woke up, the sky was already dark, and after dinner, my subordinates came down to report that Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, was visiting!

In the living room, Zhuang Shaoyou and Qiao Mao sat down as guests. Zhuang Shaoyou took a sip of tea and asked, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Qiao's visit tonight?" ”

When Qiao Mao heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully: "The general personally took command this time to pacify the Qingyan Yellow Turban Army, and the lower official came here to ask, I don't know when the general is going to go on the expedition?" Xia Guan is good to prepare some carts, horses, grain, grass and baggage to supply! ”

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough! This guy is afraid that he will occupy the dove's nest, right? So he smiled and said, "Qiao Taishou can rest assured!" General Ben has already sent people to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, as fast as a few days, as slow as ten days, there will be some gains, and then General Ben will personally go out to quell the rebellion! ”

When Qiao Mao heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, and smiled: "The general is dedicated to the country and the people, and he is really a model for us!" No! It's out of reach! I just don't know what else the general can do for the lower officials? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou sneered, his eyes rolled, and he turned against the first army: "Qiao Taishou said this, but there is indeed something that needs Qiao Taishou's help, this general has just arrived, he is not familiar with the place, and it is very unfavorable for the battle, Qiao Taishou's men and horses are all locals, and they are very familiar with the terrain, so it is better for Qiao Taishou to send a group of men and horses to quell the rebellion with this general, I don't know what Qiao Taishou will do?" ”

When Qiao Mao heard this, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and sent an army to you? Isn't that a meat bun beating a dog? No, no, no! But Zhuang Shaoyou was ordered to discuss, and all the counties along the way were at his disposal, if he was not allowed, wouldn't he be disrespecting the order? After thinking for a long time, he said:

"General, Puyang City has few soldiers, only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not enough to defend the city, where can it be used to quell the rebellion? Besides, if it is not peaceful today, there are small remnants of yellow turbans everywhere in the land of Yanzhou, in case there is an enemy coming to the army, and the soldiers and horses are outside, how can it be good? There are more than 200,000 people in the city! Please also General Haihan! However, all the general needs is a few guides to lead the way, and if there are not many of them, it is not difficult for the lower officials to do it! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said secretly: Sure enough! The response is quite fast! Immediately said: "As Qiao Taishou said, the Puyang defenders are indeed not suitable to act rashly!" It's General Ben who owes it to consideration! ”

Qiao Mao hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare!" The lower officials also want to follow the general's tail and rebel against the rebellion, but they can't help themselves and can't do it! However, Puyang City has plenty of grain and grass, although the lower officials can't arrive, but they can also prepare more grain and grass for the general to go on the expedition. Hehe! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou listened, then nodded, and suddenly said: "Qiao Taishou, the river flooded last month, Puyang was hit hard, and there were countless refugees, I heard that there were more than 100,000 refugees who died of hunger and disease near Puyang City, and Qiao Taishou said that the city has enough grain and grass, so why not open a warehouse for disaster relief?" Destroying more than 100,000 lives? ”

When Qiao Mao heard this, she scolded in her heart, just take care of herself these days, who will care about the life and death of those irrelevant refugees? Are you full? Who will do what is not profitable? Isn't that knowingly asking?

Although I think so in my heart, I can't say that, for the officials and the people, this is the teaching of the saint, and some unspoken rules can't be put on the table!

"General, you don't know, last month's flood, Puyang City was also soaked in water for more than half a month, the traffic was blocked, people outside couldn't get in, people in the city couldn't get out, and occasionally used a small boat to transport some food out, it was a drop in the bucket, and the officials were powerless!"

What Qiao Mao said was half-true and half-true, it was indeed like this when there was a big flood, but it didn't last long, only a few days, in the final analysis, Qiao Mao didn't want to do it, thankless things, stupid to do!

Zhuang Shaoyou did not pursue it, and continued: "Now the flood has long subsided, but there is no harvest in the fields of Dongjun, hundreds of thousands of people need relief, and now it is summer and can get by, but what to do this winter?" This general is the envoy of the Qin Mission, the general department of the affairs of the two states, the suppression is the anti-thief, the people of Fu, if Qiao Taishou can't think of a way, this general doesn't mind doing it on his behalf! ”

Threat, the threat of Chiguoguo!

Qiao Mao hated it in her heart, can't you suppress your bandits? Why do you have to meddle in your own affairs? But Zhuang Shaoyou is obviously the master who can't be offended, in case he really takes over Puyang on this ground, Qiao Mao will be unemployed immediately! Gritting his teeth, he said:

"The general's lesson is that it was the lower official who was negligent, and the lower official will immediately start preparing for disaster relief tomorrow! Please rest assured, General! ”

…………

The next day, the ink conveyed Zhuang Shaoyou's meaning to Liaonan Moshishou.

In the administrative hall of Liaonan County, Mo Mei couldn't help but ask when he saw Mo Shi's brows: "Senior brother, what's wrong?" ”

Mo Shi glanced at Mo Mei and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law asked me to let Thirteen go back to war!" ”

When Mo Mei heard this, he first frowned and was displeased, and then reacted and said angrily: "Senior brother! Huge people! How did you get so flamboyant? ”

Mo Shi smiled: "Senior sister, isn't it a matter of time or time?" If it weren't for Gongsun Taishou's face, you would have gotten married a long time ago, maybe now there are several babies! When I come back this time, I will give you Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, and you will become a parent, you and Linglong are not young, and if you don't marry, you will become an old girl! People who don't know still think that our Mo family is stingy and can't afford a dowry! ”

When Mo Mei heard this, his face turned purple, and he put the piece of his hand on the table hatefully, and ran out ashamed and angry, leaving Mo Shi shaking his head in the administrative hall and smiling bitterly.

Two hours later, at the north wharf of southern Liaoning, Mo 13 stood on a brand-new four-masted warship with high spirits, pinched his waist, and laughed: "The road of heaven is endless, and my Mo 13 has come out again!" What kind of dog day is it, dare to hit the old and young report, don't let the old find out, otherwise the old will definitely pinch your eggs! What to watch? You recruits, do you think the old love will take you? Look at your bear-like looks, as far as your virtue is concerned, do you have a soldier-like appearance? I think it's a bunch of sick seedlings! Also watch? Not convinced? Okay, give you a chance, go head-to-head with me! Pick what you choose! ”

"Report to the captain, the soldier Wu Lao Er challenges you, don't hurt the harmony, just compare the strength of your wrist!"

When Mo 13 heard this, he smiled: "Small, do you think that your arms are thicker than the boss and your strength can be bigger?" Tell you, I strangled a shark to death in the sea, did you see it? The wound on the shoulder was kissed by a shark! ”

The big soldier was stunned when he heard this, but Mo Shisan didn't give him a chance to regret it, he pounced on the soldier and lifted him up, and threw him off the boat with both hands, followed by a "poof" sound.

Mo 13 turned around and looked at the more than two hundred soldiers in front of him arrogantly, and smiled: "Who else is not convinced?" ”

The soldiers on the opposite side were all silent, they had seen Mo Thirteen's power just now, and it was obviously impossible to fight him alone! But in the face of the repeated provocations of this arrogant captain, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, a soldier finally couldn't help but stand up and say:

"Captain! Soldier Fan Arrow challenges you! ”

Mo Thirteen was stunned, followed by hahaha laughter: "Cheap? Good name! I like it! Say, what are you going to challenge? ”

Fan Jian's expression was as usual: "Than archery!" See who shoots right! ”

Mo 13 smiled: "Okay! There are really people who are not afraid of death! Come on, it's a bow or a crossbow, the choice is yours! ”

Fan Jian pondered for a moment and said: "It is difficult to aim at the crossbow machine, so use the crossbow machine!" ”

Mo 13 said nonchalantly: "No problem! It's up to you to decide how to compare! ”

Fan Jian looked around, and finally locked on a few seagulls on the sea not far away: "Captain, the seagulls in front of you are three hundred steps away, so let's shoot the seagulls!" ”

Mo 13 listened, his eyes narrowed slightly, this is a master! The range of the crossbow machine is only two hundred and fifty steps, and it is not a big problem for a master to shoot three hundred steps, but it is extremely difficult to control the accurate head, and there is still wind on the sea, and the boat under his feet is not particularly stable, nodding slightly: "Just according to what you said!" ”

Fan Jian heard it, and he was not polite, he took off the crossbow machine directly, and directly pulled the string with his hand to load two crossbow arrows, and the soldiers around him all applauded in unison, although this crossbow machine is a single crossbow, but everyone usually steps on the arrow with their feet, this guy can change it directly with his hands, which shows that his arm strength is amazing!

"Whoosh!"

As soon as the arrows were changed, Fan Arrow didn't aim, and released them directly at the distance, two crossbow arrows crossed a graceful arc, and the two "poof" two sounds shot down the two of the circling seagulls, and the surrounding soldiers cheered in unison, and then looked at Mo Thirteen gloatingly.

Mo 13 couldn't help but praise: "It's so small, okay, you!" Practice for another two years and you'll catch up with the old! Look at me! ”

Immediately, he also exchanged his hand for an arrow, and quickly turned around, "Whoosh!" Two arrows, followed by "Poof!" "Two sounds, startled by the frightened seagull just now shot down two, anyone can see, these two arrows are not small, because the seagull was defenseless when Fan Jian released the arrow for the first time, although the two were shot down can be called divine accuracy, but compared with Mo Thirteen and Eleven, there is still a little gap.

Fan Jian was not convinced, and immediately changed two more arrows: "Whoosh!" Two sounds, but before he had time to be complacent, Mo Thirteen also followed, "swish" two arrows, and then "Ding Ding!" Two sounds, Fan Jian's two crossbow arrows were intercepted by Mo Thirteen, there was silence all around, Fan Jian was shocked when he saw this, and continued to release the arrows, but Mo Thirteen was unrelenting, no matter how fast he was, he still couldn't escape the fate of being intercepted.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Mo 13 threw the crossbow machine in his hand aside, smiled, and walked towards Fan Jian with bad intentions, Fan Jian became nervous, threw down the crossbow machine, and ran away, but Mo 13 had already taken precautions, and when he accelerated, he chased after him, pushed Fan Jian to the ground, lifted it up, and threw it off the boat.

"Ahh ~Poof! ”

Mo 13 clapped his hands, turned around very proudly, and asked provocatively, "Who else is not convinced?" I started playing crossbow at the age of three, and for more than 20 years, no one dared to compete with the old man! ”

Everyone around was shocked, completely lost their temper, Mo 13 was even more proud, and the words changed and said: "Brothers, put the rope and catch people!" Ready to go! Target Puyang City! When you arrive in Puyang, I will always take you to prostitution! ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then cheered in unison.

"Thirteen! What did you just say?! ”

Mo Shisan frowned and turned to look, just about to scold, but when he saw the person coming, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he changed to a flattering smile: "Seventh aunt and grandmother, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" ”
