Chapter 35: Five Thousand Servants

"Captain!" As soon as Zhang Yuan walked near the stove room, his subordinates asked, "Have you gone to find the county official?" What did he say? ”

"Shut up and do your thing." Zhang Yuan immediately scolded fiercely: "Do you think Master Meng doesn't know your thoughts? Still want to bully him like a recruit? Tell him to be wronged by small words?

He's an official, and he's really annoyed him, believe it or not, he'll just send you back to the barracks. ”

One man snorted and said, "If I could go back, I'd rather do it." ”

"Then you can go back." Zhang Yuan's voice cooled down, "Look at what future you have in this life, and see what your nephews still have." ”

The man immediately put away the scattered expression on his face, and the people around Zhang Yuan scattered all at once, what to do and what to do.

At four o'clock, when Meng Changqing was inspecting the camp, he saw a crowd moving in the distance.

It's the servant who is coming.

Li Ting took the officials of each county and sent 5,754 people.

"My lord, this is the roster of county officials." Li Ting handed over seven rosters of different thicknesses to Meng Changqing.

"Everyone, let's go to the house and rest for a while."

Lai Cai took a group of officials to the stove room to rest.

Meng Changqing rolled up the roster, turned his head sideways and said to Bafang: "Go and ask Captain Yang, have the guards dug their holes?" ”

During the time he was waiting for Yang Zheng, Meng Changqing looked around the group of people.

There were no women among the servants, and most of them were thin.

Soon, Yang Zheng came over with a lot of guards, "My lord, the Bafang said that more than 5,700 guards came, and I ordered 350 guards to come over." ”

Meng Changqing nodded, handed the roster in his hand to Yang Zheng, "Take someone to check the roster first." ”

Bafang moved a stool for Meng Changqing, and Meng Changqing sat in a leeward place, watching Yang Zheng lead people to do things.

Seeing that the guards who checked the roster with Yang Zheng were all people who were organized and could suppress the servants, he knew that Yang Zheng must have known about these guards.

"Young master, there are so many people, I'm afraid the tools I got back aren't enough, right?"

"Of course not enough." Meng Changqing stood up, "I'll go write a letter." ”

"Hey, young master." Bafang picked up the bench and followed behind, "Who are you writing to?" ”

"Your uncle."

Before Meng Changqing's letter was finished, Yang Zheng found her with the roster, "Returning to my lord, check that it is correct, I will let the guards take it away directly in groups of three, Li Zhutou's side, I have already gone to tell you." ”

"Very well done, take the rest of the guards, go and build the stove first, so many people can't go without food."

"Yes."

After Yang Zheng went out, Meng Changqing sped up his hand speed, quickly ended the letter, and then dried the ink and stuffed it into the envelope.

"You get on my horse, send this letter to the barracks, and hand it over to Lord Wei." Meng Changqing said, "You just send it, put it in his hands and you will come back, under the pretext that things in Beishan County are complicated, and you have to come back to help." ”

"Hmm." Bafang took the letter and was about to run.

Meng Changqing chased out two steps and shouted: "Bafang, remember to call Uncle in person, and call Master Wei too angry." ”

Bafang waved his hand and ran away.

Yang Zheng took the soldiers of Hongjia County and found Zhang Yuan.

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean, these people will follow you and build seven stove houses first."

"The location of the stove room has long been marked on the ground, Brother Yang, you just let them watch the building."

Yang Zheng grabbed Zhang Yuan, who was leaving, and said to the people behind him, "You take tools to dig the foundation first, I have something to say to Captain Zhang." ”

Zhang Yuan let Yang Zheng pull him into the stove room, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Brother Zhang seems to be dissatisfied, is it the reason why adults rely on me more?"

"Where do I dare to have any dissatisfaction, but Brother Yang is too, why ask knowingly.

To tell you the truth, I have already told my adults about this, and the adults blame me for not being strict in governance, and secondly, they say that the gains and losses in front of me should not be taken into account. Zhang Yuan sighed, "It's not that adults don't know, there is a fundamental difference between the people you bring and the people I bring." ”

Yang Zheng held him down and was about to say, "What kind of temper do you think our Lord Meng is?" ”

"Adults are a little juvenile, young people are inevitable."

"You couldn't be more wrong!" Yang Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Although adults are young, their mental wisdom and resourcefulness are by no means comparable to ordinary people. Do you know why the general sent you in a hurry? ”

"Didn't you say there were bandits?"

"Exactly, then do you know how the adults deal with those mountain bandits who have been caught?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the expression of the person in front of him, and his upper body couldn't help but step back, "How to deal with it?" ”

"That night, the adults were not in the camp, and more than 20 mountain bandits came to grab food with murder weapons, but fortunately, we patrolled carefully, and soon found and caught them.

If it's just a teenager, how can you be so ruthless? Yang Zheng said, "My lord was even afraid that my people would be merciful and fool him by deceit, and he also looked through the corpses one by one." ”

Zhang Yuan knew the intention of this passage, and Yang was warning him that this magistrate was a ruthless person.

"My lord has another sentence that impresses me." Yang Zheng continued, "He said that he would rather lack manpower than use disobedient people. ”

"Captain Yang, I know what you mean. I've promised you that I'll take care of my soldiers. ”

"Brother Zhang, you misunderstood me." Yang Zheng explained, "I am telling you this, not to threaten and deter you, but to tell you, don't look down on Lord Meng, he has a lot of plans, and he has his own reasons for doing anything." ”

It is also said that it is not a threat and deterrence, but it is clear.

Bafang rode horses all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of the camp, the skin on his face was tightened.

He got off his horse and handed the name slip in his hand to the soldiers at the gate of the camp, "I am the retinue of the magistrate of Beishan County, Bafang, and I have a letter to give to Lord Futai." ”

"Wait."

Waiting for two quarters of an hour, Bafang rubbed his hands and wanted to look inside, but was stopped by the soldier guarding the door with a shot, "The military camp is heavy, and you must not look around." ”

Bafang smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't know, I won't watch it." ”

Finally waited for Wei Fangyun to come out, and Bafang hurriedly stepped forward, "Uncle! My young master wrote a letter for me to hand it over to you. After speaking, he stuffed the letter into Wei Fangyun's hand, and said according to Meng Changqing's teaching, "There are many things on the young master's side, so I'll go back first." ”

Before Wei Fangyun could say a word, he had already gotten on his horse and walked away.

Wei Fangyun stood at the gate of the camp and opened the letter, there were only two pages in the envelope, which briefly reported the situation in Beishan County today, but the main purpose was to rush something.

That night, the gate of Yangmen County opened, and more than 20 cars went out of it, full of tools and food that had just come from other states.

Meng Changqing seemed to have expected that before the convoy arrived at the camp, she took people to wait a few miles away.
