Chapter 81 Getting up early with chicken soup and stealing half a day's leisure

This unpredictable ghost weather, presumably not a person is complaining, first the continuous rainstorm, so that the loess that claims to be unable to hold water is almost absorbed, and then two or three days of sunny days, the invisible water vapor steaming people are uncomfortable, and before the mud and sun drying all over the ground, it is a cold wave again.

The wheat in the field is in the wintering period of previous years, but this sudden weather has been stirred up, and it is estimated that most of them are dead. Nine times out of ten, the harvest in the first quarter of next year will be very bleak.

There is a lively business, and the southern branch has been notified in advance to reserve more grain and transport it to the north.

All of a sudden, the road connecting the north and south was mostly filled with ox carts transporting grain.

In the city guard mansion of the lonely bamboo city, Qin Baili, the general of the Qin army, was holding a bamboo slip that told the customs of Yan Country at this moment, and several attendants were lined up on both sides.

After looking at the bamboo slips in the dim room for a few hours, even if the body is good, as long as it is a living person, it will be a little tired.

Occasionally resting and adjusting, the Qin army, which had been waiting outside for a long time, would report the military situation that needed to be dealt with urgently.

Qin Baili was playing with a frozen peach in one hand, while listening to the sergeant's report, and from time to time he gave a few orders, and one of the attendants went out to deal with it.

In addition to those miscellaneous things, there are only three biggest problems that Qin Jun encounters at the moment, one is that the number of sick numbers continues to grow. The second is the lack of warm clothes and quilts. Third, although the food is still enough for a few days, the forage for the horses is somewhat insufficient.

Qin Baili nodded, signaling that he understood: "Go and call Zheng Gongzi." ”

What was the original intention of the alliance between the Qin State and the Yan State this time, no one in this team except him knew it. But the obvious meaning on the face is to train this group of disciples of the Yanwu Hall, so that they can fully understand the bits and pieces in the army.

The lack of food and grass, the increase in sickness, and the lack of warm clothes and quilts were almost impossible to encounter in the Qin State itself. At this time, it will be handed over to them to deal with, and if it is handled properly, it will have a better chance of winning in the future with other countries. Even if it is not handled properly, after this experience, when they lead the army themselves, at least they know how to avoid this situation.

???????? Not long after, Zheng Gongzi followed an attendant into the side hall where Qin Baili was: "Meet General Qin." ”

????????“ Sit. Qin Baili pointed falsely, and Zheng Gongzi knelt down behind the low table on the side: "I don't know why General Qin called the lower officials?"

???????? This time, in order to facilitate everyone to command the military horses, King Qin specially gave them some temporary false titles before departure. Although there is no formal seal robe, it can be regarded as an official position after all. At this moment, Zheng Gongzi calls himself a subordinate official, which is not wrong.

????????“ I asked someone to reveal the lack of food and grass in the army a few days ago, have you thought of a solution?"

???????? Zheng Gongzi was shocked in his heart, it turned out that this matter was revealed by General Qin, no wonder those gang leaders dared to discuss the shortage of military food in private, you know, according to Qin's law, this is a capital crime.

However, although I have long heard that there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, I really haven't thought about how to solve it, and for a while, I can't think of any good way, after all, what Yanwutang teaches is how to win a war when there is enough food and grass, not how to find food when there is a lack of food and clothing: "The lower officer has not thought of a way yet." ”

????????“ The problem of the quilt and the sick number, I guess you don't know how to deal with it?" Qin Baili put down the frozen peach in his hand, and the peach at this moment had been played with a little transparently.

????????“ The subordinate officer did not think it well, and asked the general to punish him. "Although Zheng Gongzi is the nominal commander-in-chief of the North Road, Qin Baili has the tiger talisman personally awarded by the King of Qin after all. Zheng Gongzi wouldn't think that his false title could be bigger than anyone.

????????“ Do you still remember what the Captain said before leaving? Qin Baili leaned forward and stared straight into Zheng Gongzi's eyes.

????????“ The words of Xia Guan are engraved in my heart, and I dare not forget them. "Although there is no shame, after all, I am at fault first, and there is nothing that I can't admit about it.

????????“ Just remember, you will all lead the troops to fight in the future, don't let down the Great Qin soldiers. Qin Baili frowned and sat up straight.

????????“ The lower officials should remember the teachings of the adults. ”

????????“ Stand down, I'll ask you again tomorrow, don't use unexpected, unthoughtful, and inconsiderate prevarication of me. General Qin waved his hand. Zheng Gongzi got up and saluted and withdrew.

??????? Hearing Zheng Gongzi's footsteps gradually disappear, General Qin's brows furrowed even deeper. With a palm slapped on the table, the bamboo slip stopped looking at it and returned to the inner room.

???????? The fragrance of peaches spreads far away. There is only a bamboo slip and a peach pit left on the table.

???????? Zheng Gongzi came and went, and it was tea time, Xu Ao and the others were still squatting on the threshold of the door, drinking chicken soup and watching the people on the street.

???????? As soon as he saw Zheng Gongzi coming, Xu Ao, the youngest, immediately got up, stood aside, and gave up a section of the threshold, which was regarded as giving up his seat to Zheng Gongzi.

???????? It is strange to say that this Zheng Dagongzi is the son of his uncle of the country, both his father and mother are all wealthy families, and he is also a young talent recommended by Lord Taiwei to enter the Yanwutang, which can be regarded as a collection of thousands of lights.

???????? But since he entered the Yan Kingdom, he has not discussed and studied with those people who have made a name for himself, but has mixed with them, a small gang of money roads, and he can't say anything.

???????? Zheng Gongzi didn't care about Xu Hu and their thoughts, sat down, took the ginseng soup handed over by the little guy, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve like a rough man in the market, how could he look like a wealthy and noble son, and took a few breaths: "Today, General Qin passed me over, and I was limited to come up with a solution to the problem tomorrow." These three problems are lack of clothing, more sickness, and less food. ”

casually put the empty bowl behind him, looked left and right to confirm that there were no idle people and other people to pay attention to this, and then said: "If you can't think of it, although you won't lose your head, once General Qin mentions it in the monthly reply, you all understand the consequences." I hope you can help me. ”

Xu Ao and the others didn't know that for the same question, everyone in the Meritorious Road except for Xu Ao was called by General Qin to ask about it. At this time, most of them are gathering three or two friends and thinking hard about the solution.

There is a huge city guarding mansion, and I am afraid that only a small group of people like Xu Ao are idle.
