Chapter 42: The Emperor Is Not Short of Hungry Soldiers
Dian Wei said coldly: "Dian Moujie is a martial artist, he can only be a guard by the side of the lord, but it is difficult to take on this responsibility. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Dong Zhuo knew that he couldn't move him, so he smiled and said: "The strong man is really loyal!
A sergeant had already held a jar of wine and put it in front of Dian Wei, and Dian Wei was not polite, grabbed the wine jar and drank it. When they saw it, they applauded in unison.
The scribe sitting on Dong Zhuo's right hand stood up and said, "Wei Da is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and it is really a blessing for the lord to have this strong man to help." The son-in-law congratulated the lord on receiving a tiger general, so it was better to ask Lord Wei to lead Huaxiong's army on his behalf. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Just according to the words of the virtuous son-in-law." ”
Wei Xuanfang knew that this person was his top boss, Shi Liru, the head of the General's Mansion, and hurriedly raised his lamp and said: "Thank you Lord Li for your kind words for Wei, and Wei will borrow the general's wine to salute Lord Li." ”
Li Ru returned the salute and took a drink.
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "Zhong Dao, from today onwards, you will also serve as a captain. He also said: "Where are Zhang Ji and Yang Feng!"
Zhang Ji and Yang Feng stepped forward together and arched their hands: "The subordinates are here!"
Dong Zhuo said: "The two of you will each lead the troops and horses of the department, and they will be dispatched to the Zhongdao account!"
Zhang Ji and Yang Feng said in unison: "Subordinates obey orders!"
Wei Xuan also arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's trust, Wei will definitely live up to his mission!"
From beginning to end, Wei Xuan refused to call Dong Zhuo the master, and Dong Zhuo was helpless. However, Dong Zhuo knew that he didn't stop Huaxiong just now, and tried to recruit Dian Wei, which would inevitably leave a mustard in Wei Xuan's heart, and he could only make up for it by showing favor to Wei Xuan by transferring troops and horses.
Of course, Zhang Ji is his confidant, and it is impossible to fall to Wei Xuan. Yang Feng is a yellow scarf general, and he often harbors a ghost in his heart. And Hua Xiong was killed by Wei Xuan, and his subordinates inevitably hated Wei Xuan. These three soldiers and horses are obviously handed over to Wei Xuan to command, but it is not easy for Wei Xuan to control them. As long as Wei Xuan does not really control these soldiers and horses for a day, these soldiers and horses will still belong to Dong Zhuo, so Dong Zhuo is not worried about Wei Xuan being self-reliant.
As soon as this order was given, the generals inevitably rose up again to toast Wei Xuan. Fortunately, Wei Xuan has the source power to dissolve the strength of the wine, so he will not be drunk by these guys.
After the wine was dispersed, Dong Zhuo quietly asked, "Zhongdao, can things be harmonious?"
Wei Xuan lowered his voice and said, "The past sins have all been eliminated!"
Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and when Wei Xuan left the big tent, he remembered a question. The past sins are gone, but his ambition is inflated, and he will inevitably create more sins in the future, and he is still inseparable from Wei Xuan's help.
Although there was a feeling of being stuck in Wei Xuan's neck, Dong Zhuo was now even more convinced of Wei Xuan's words. In his opinion, Wei Xuan's ability to kill Hua Xiong with one punch was obviously with the help of Judge Cui of Yin Si, otherwise where would Wei Xuan's thin body have so much strength?
Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo's face was cloudy, and whispered in his ear: "This son is not a thing in the pool, if you can't take it for your own use, you should get rid of it as soon as possible!"
Dong Zhuo shook his head and said: "A certain person is a person who cherishes talents, and a virtuous son-in-law doesn't need to say much." ”
How did Li Ru know that Dong Zhuo and Wei Xuan were not ordinary superiors and subordinates, but a cooperative relationship. In a sense, Dong Zhuo has more to ask for Wei Xuan. But as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and first strategist, Li Ru must start from Dong Zhuo's interests. He thought for a moment and said, "Since the lord does not want to get rid of him, he should try to win his heart." ”
Enveloping their hearts and taking them for their own use are different concepts, and enveloping their hearts is more about making friends and letting the other party's heart go to themselves. Dong Zhuo also understood that this might be the best result that could be achieved now, and couldn't help but say: "Please also ask a virtuous son-in-law to teach you." ”
Li Ru said: "BMW sends heroes, and pink gives beauties." The son-in-law knew that the lord had a BMW named Chitu, so why not give it to this son and give him gold beads. Even if this son refuses to submit to his lord, he will not be an enemy of his lord!"
Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "A certain ambition is in the court, why not a horse!"
At this time, although Dong Zhuo was ambitious, he had never thought of becoming an emperor, his wish was only to be able to sit above ten thousand people under one person, the power of the government and the opposition, and the position looked up to by hundreds of officials.
......
Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out. Wei Xuan is in such a mood now, he can't wait to pull the three soldiers who have just been assigned to him to the small school field outside the camp, and come to have the addiction of being a general.
These three troops and horses, each with a thousand people, except for Yang Fengsuo's department, the rest are cavalry. Coupled with the 300 iron cavalry originally under the command of Wei Xuan, he already had 2,300 cavalry and 1,000 infantry under his command.
The Xiliang soldiers are indeed strong, a tall man, strong and powerful, but their military discipline is not flattering. Except for the three hundred iron horsemen who saw Dian Wei like a mouse and a cat, and obediently lined up, the rest of the men and horses gathered for a long time, but they still couldn't line up, and they couldn't line up.
Wei Xuan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, you don't practice on weekdays?"
Zhang Ji arched his hand and said: "The infantry army is better, a small practice in three days, a big practice in five days, and our horse army will only have a small practice in ten days." He was afraid that Wei Xuan would not understand, so he explained: "Half a day of small practice, one day of big practice." Usually two meals, small practice one dry and one thin, big practice one dry and two thin. ”
Dry and thin refers to army food. In this era, corn was the main part of military rations. Because corn is shelf-stable, it can still be eaten in the warehouse for seven or eight years, and it is more convenient to boil it into porridge when eating. If it is thickened, it is called dry, and if it is not, it is called thin.
Dry ones require twice as much corn as thin ones. When the army exercises, the soldiers consume more energy, so they must add a dry meal, so that the burden of military rations will be heavy. In order to reduce the burden, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of exercises. Today is not a day of drill, and the sergeants are still divided into two meals, so they all look listless.
Wei Xuan heard some doorways, but he still didn't have an intuitive concept of dry and thin, so he said: "Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, you and I are eating with the soldiers today, how about it?"
Zhang Ji and Yang Feng had just come back from the banquet, and their stomachs were not hungry anyway, so it didn't matter if they ate dry or thin, not to mention that they could still have a good reputation of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers, so they were naturally full of promises.
After receiving the order, the troops dispersed with a hula and returned to the camp to bury pots and make rice. Half an hour later, a stoneware bowl was placed in front of Wei Xuan, and the corn porridge in the bowl was so thin that it shone on people's faces, and only a spoonful of sauce was served with rice. This porridge is just right for Wei Xuan and others, and it can be used to relieve hangover. But for those sergeants, it was a little more difficult to be hungry.
Wei Xuanjiao took two bites, threw the bowl away, and said, "The emperor is not a hungry soldier, could it be that someone is deducting military rations?"
Zhang Ji reminded in a low voice: "The granary is under the jurisdiction of adults. ”
Wei Xuan then remembered that he still had an official position as a Zhonglang, and the granary was under his control. It's just that since he took office, Jia Xu, who served as Cangcao Shi, has never taken the initiative to visit him, which seems very abnormal. Wei Xuan couldn't help but groan and said, "Go and invite Master Jia to come over." ”
