Xiaoguangong

Chapter 136 Is the General a Loyal Minister?

Since ancient times, fighting a war is an opportunity to make a fortune, and fighting a big war is an opportunity for everyone to make a fortune.

Sima Fu had previously felt that there should be some tacit understanding between Guan Ping and Xiakou, so Liu Beijun and Sun Quanjun on Xiakou's side did not go ashore to seek their bad luck.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all, and even smartly pretended not to notice it at all, and even helped Guan Ping carefully hide some flaws.

Fighting is a matter for the superiors, and it is an irreconcilable conflict between Cao Cao and Sun Liu. What does it have to do with the specific executors below.

Now that Jiangling is besieged like an iron barrel, it is so difficult to transfer military rations, but there are still a large number of Shu brocade merchants who can take the Yangtze River to transfer in Jiangling. Zhou Yu's supply of food and grass is so tight that he has to rely on buying some from the surrounding Cao Jun. .

Since it can't be stopped, why not enjoy it happily?
Sima Fu had previously felt that Yunshan was not a mere martial artist, and after getting in touch with him these days, he believed that this person was a powerful speculator who would sell anything as long as he could bring huge benefits.

At present, Cao Jun has assembled tens of thousands of people in Dangyang, surpassing Zhou Yu's siege army in Jiangling. Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army are about to have a big battle no less than before.

The Sima family, who hadn't caught up with the fortune before, couldn't miss it this time.

Although Sima Fu’s good education since he was a child told him that this is not a good thing, but everyone does it. You will not only appear to be out of group, but also lose the foundation of a celebrity-a celebrity must not face the loess like everyone else Working with your back to the sky, you have to wear a Confucian robe, hire hundreds of servants, drink the best wine, ride a horse without variegation, wear a good sword, and often chat with people. This kind of life does not have a lot of money How about supply.

Sima Fu couldn't help it either.

Although Guan Ping had shamelessly obtained a lot of military rations with Sima Fu before, but after all, it was just a small fight, and it was a bit of Cao Zhi's wool. I hate being late.

Wool has to find a big one, and such a big battle is the best opportunity.

So Guan Ping thought for a while, recruited Huo Jun directly in front of Sima Fu, ordered Huo Jun to cross the river, and discuss the next big deal with Liu Beijun in Jiangnan.

Xiakou is a small place that lacks food, salt, and everything, but its geographical location is so good that it happens to be stuck at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River. This geographical location is so convenient that it makes people drool.

Sima Fu knew that the celebrities in the Central Plains had a huge demand for the Shu brocade in Yizhou and the pearls in Jiaozhou. If he could act as a fulcrum, he would definitely be able to bring huge profits to Sima's family.

Only with money can one have greater fame, this is the foundation of a wealthy family, otherwise Zheng Xuan has such a great knowledge, why his family can't do it?Is it because of lack of money?

After hearing Guan Ping's arrangement, Huo Jun couldn't believe his ears.

At first, he thought that Sima Fu was his own, but he didn't expect that Sima Fu was just here to discuss business, which made Huo Jun feel that his three views were about to collapse.

"This, can it still be like this?" After Sima Fu left, he held Guan Ping in disbelief and asked, "Is everyone like this? Is everyone like this?"

Lu Yi's face was calm, and he was not surprised by this matter.

"I don't know how your army is doing, and so is Jiangdong."

Huo Jun temporarily took over this small elite army from his elder brother, and has always been under the care of Cai Mao's commander-in-chief. Cai Mao has done all the bad things, so Huo Jun naturally has no way of knowing.

Lu Yi told him that the same is true of Jiangdong's soldiers.

Corrupting military rations and selling them everywhere is already the most basic operation. Pan Zhang's own army, who went too far, directly opened a market to resell military supplies, and even robbed his own soldiers' belongings.

The bigger the battle, the more common such behavior is, and now everyone has long seen it.

He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only cast a questioning look at Guan Ping.

"Are we the same?"

Guan Ping naturally knew who we were talking about.

Huo Jun, Ma Liang and many Jingzhou people are willing to take risks all the way, instead of following the trend like other Jingzhou aristocratic families, because they believe that the tranquility under Liu Bei's rule is more in line with their ideal of ruling the world in their hearts.

What happened today made Huo Jun dizzy, so he couldn't wait to get the answer from Guan Ping.

"We are not." He said quickly, "I don't know if it will be like this in the future, but at least for now, we haven't become like this."

Lu Yi wanted to say that it was inevitable in the future, but looking at Guan Ping and Huo Jun, he wisely shut his mouth.

"General Guan," surrounded by his own people, Huo Jun also simply called Guan Ping directly, "I want to kill the enemy, I want to kill the enemy! I know what you do is also important, but I am tired of making false claims with these people.

I want to kill the enemy, I want to kill the enemy with all my heart, please give me this chance, General! "

If Huo Jun stayed under Guan Ping's tent all the time, he would have no worries about food and clothing, and he would be able to ride the wall smoothly and continuously get promotion awards. This kind of good thing is something that others can't ask for, but Huo Jun actually wanted to refuse, which made Lu Yi feel a little emotional.

Why do people like this go to Liu Bei?

Guan Ping also showed a hint of emotion in his eyes, he did not dissuade Huo Jun, Chen Si said for a moment:

"Does Zhong Miao dare to lead his army deep into the Wancheng area, intercept the enemy's rear for me, and build a base?"

Huo Jun said loudly:
"This is my life's wish, why dare not!"

·
The determination has been made, and Cao Jun's war machine has gradually begun to mobilize.

General Fubo Xiahou Dun arrived in Wancheng on the festival, and organized the supply of grain and grass for Le Jin and Xu Huang. He wanted to mobilize as much grain as possible from the Central Plains to the south, hoard it in Fancheng, and then send it to Dangyang by water from Guanping to ensure the success of the battle. went well.

Both Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were trapped in Dangyang, and there was a treacherous person like Cai Mao by his side. Xiahou Dun didn't dare to be careless, so he went to Fancheng himself, summoned Le Jin, Xu Huang, and Yunshan to discuss the details of the future war.

Guan Ping went back to Xiangyang to pick Le Jin across the river, and sure enough, he saw Le Jin's face was full of anger.

"Hey, don't worry about me after all."

Le Jin didn't bother to hide it in front of Guan Ping, he didn't even bother to say hello, he just reached out and patted Guan Ping's shoulder, rather reluctantly said:
"Tanzhi, Xiahou Yuanrang is not easy to get along with, you have to be careful."

Le Jin relied on force to kill all the way from the grassroots to the top. This time he surrendered Cai Hao. He thought that he would be able to dominate Jingzhou by driving Cao Ren away, but he never expected that Cao Cao would directly parachute a new leader.Although Cao Cao meant to listen to Le Jin in how to fight, but the logistics were all in the hands of others, and Xia Houdun could call Le Jin to hold a meeting across the river casually. How could this make Le Jin lose face?

The whole of Xiangyang has been promoting me for more than half a year, and I have accepted all the gifts, and now a superior has been arranged for me, Le Jin feels that these Jingzhou aristocratic families must be very disappointed.

Guan Ping frowned, then bowed down and bowed down:

"General, Ji Chang and I are willing to obey the general's orders not because of the general's ability, but because of the general's benevolence, which can bring revival to Jingzhou.

Please rest assured, the general, we will definitely advance and retreat with the general! "

Le Jin was overjoyed, and moved to squeeze Guan Ping's strong shoulders:

"It's very lucky for a big man to have a general."

Taking advantage of the time to go ashore, Guan Ping asked again in a low voice:
"Is the general a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?"

Le Jin was startled when asked this question.

If it had been before, he would have scolded Guan Ping for bad intentions, but now he was stunned, stumbled by the rock between the boat and the river bank, and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Guan Ping's upright expression, Le Jin murmured for the first time.

For many years, he has always felt that he owes a great favor to Cao Cao, that Cao Cao has rebuilt him, and he should go all out to repay Cao Cao's kindness.

But after sitting in this position for a long time, Le Jin's mentality also quietly changed, especially Ma Liang and Xiang Lang kept touting, saying that heroes like Le Jin are heroes sent from heaven to protect Jingzhou, and they even said that Le Jin It was transformed by the Dongjun worshiped by Chu people and will bring light to Chu people.

This kind of flattery makes him happy for a day, but he doesn't believe it for two days. After a long time, and encountering such a disappointment again, he feels even more unwilling to the extreme.

"Of course a loyal minister of the great man." He said boldly, his voice full of firmness and sonorous.

Le Jin and Guan Ping are very clear about what it means for Cao Jun's subordinates to say that they are loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty on unofficial occasions.

Neither of them said a word, they walked towards the city of Fancheng.

·
Xiahou Dun had already waited in the city early.

This 50-year-old veteran is tall and majestic, his face is as firm as iron, and the scar on his left eye is shocking. A faint evil spirit surrounds him, and Le Jin, who is unwilling in his heart, is also forced to restrain his edge in front of him and bow down. Bye:
"Meet General Xiahou."

Guan Ping also bowed down with Le Jin, but saw a rather warm smile on Xiahou Dun's grim face.

He first helped Le Jin up, then Guan Ping to look him up and down, and said with a pleasant face:

"You are Tanzhi, right? I can hear your name day and night in Luoyang, but Wen Qian is trustworthy in employing people. He is quite old-fashioned and respectful. It's a great honor for a big man."

Hey, it's different from the legend.

It was rumored that Xiahou Dun was as cold as iron and was very difficult to speak. Isn't this quite friendly?
Xu Huang's face was livid, and he forced a smile and said:

"General Xiahou, it's the first time Tan Zhi meets a superior, and he doesn't understand etiquette, please don't blame him."

Guan Ping hurriedly saluted humbly, Xiahou Dun shook his broad palm and sighed:
"I'm the only one waiting here. How can there be so many customs? There are still some things in our army, and we don't need to eat today. Let's make a long story short—frankly, I am here to supervise the army, and you will handle all the battles, but The money, food, soldiers, and ordnance of the rear army are all handled by me.

I would like to trouble everyone to prepare, and report to me the military records and government inventory receipts within three days, and I will send you food after inspection. "
