Chapter 177 The extravagant feast

For Li Jin, this is a reward for his kindness, but for Wen Chou, this is a kind of good cause and good result.¥f

At this time, seeing Wen Chou turn his eyes to look at him, Li Jin smiled and said, "I knew that the lieutenant had planned to set up a horse and mountain. Although I had known that I was there at that time, I was just watching and listening. I never made any plans or plans. This victory was all the contribution of the lieutenant. How could I take advantage of the lieutenant's achievements? Let me tell the king about the battle."

Although Li Jin had a wrong idea, Wen Chou knew that he could answer Liu Yuzhi's question. He calmly and gently spoke the story of this battle concisely. After listening carefully, Liu Yu clapped and praised: "The lieutenant is outstanding in wisdom! If an ordinary person is assassinated, he would have been scared to death, but the lieutenant was unable to let go of it. When the assassin held his blade, he thought of this plan. Great, great."

Huang Ming smiled at the seat under the hall and said, "The Lieutenant attacked Heishan from Zhoubo. The enemy was not afraid. Ling Gang destroyed the strong and broke through all the way. What's more, there were almost a few assassins? The so-called "look at danger as peaceful as a peace and treating danger as a barbarian" refers to people like the Lieutenant."

All the people in the hall, Huang Zong, Feng Shang, the envoy Du Gu, and Yao Xie, the doctor, all praised him, but the servant He Fa sat upright and said speechlessly. Wen Chou said in his heart: "Li Jin said that He Fa is upright and upright, it seems that it is true."

During the months of chaos in Heishan, Liu Yu had no appetite during the day and couldn't sleep well at night. He felt that his head was always covered with thick shadows. He would die at some point and be frightened and lost more than 20 kilograms. Finally, Huangfu Song pacified Jizhou, and Wen Chou came to serve as the lieutenant of Changshan Kingdom. Today, he talked about his spirits. After asking about the Battle of Mafushan, he talked about the situation in the middle school.

He said to Wen Chou: "Lieutenant, I heard from Duan Jun that in the west of the country, thieves gathered in the valleys of the west, and they disturbed counties and townships at the time. There were famous kings among them. The most were the most, with ten thousand people. I wonder if it was true or false?"

"Among the thieves in the west, the kings were indeed the most, but there were not ten thousand people, at most more than three thousand."

Tian Feng was capable, and although he had not yet found out the details of the remaining Heishan tribes and the thieves in the west and Heizhu Valley. But he already knew a rough idea. Tian Feng knew that Wen Chou knew. Wen Chou was also known. He dipped his fingers in the soup and roughly drew the terrain of Changshan Kingdom on the table. He dripped water and thought it was a mountain, dripping lines and thought it was a river, and pointed to the west of the county, starting from the king in the north to the Zuoxu tribe, which had been destroyed in the south. The situation of the trick Yuan Hao inquired out was one by one.

The people in the hall heard him talking. After he finished speaking, the country's tutor Huang Zong sighed, "Although I have lived in the middle of the country for a long time, I only know the thieves in the valleys of the west and the black valleys but do not know the details. When the lieutenant arrived, he has now been less than twenty days old, but he has already known the details of the thieves. He knows the thieves where the thieves are hiding, the name of the thieves Qushou, and the number of thieves. Compared with the lieutenant, I am ashamed."

Fu did not participate in state affairs. However, because he was responsible for "guiding the king to be kind", he had a high status in the country. "Etiquette is like a teacher but not a minister."

Wen Chou was not a hatred for Huang Zong, and his respect was even greater than that for Li Jin. However, his respect was not entirely due to Huang Zong's transcendent status in the country, nor was it because of his virtue and reputation in the country, but mainly because of Huang Zong's hometown.

Liu Yu said happily: "Although the mountain hides thieves, there are lieutenants in the country. I can sleep on my pillow."

Wen Chou knew that the world was in chaos, so he intended to do something while serving as a lieutenant of Changshan Kingdom. He only had the right to manage the army, not the people, wealth, and food. If he wanted to do something, he had to get the support of all the officials in the country, at least not be opposed by them. At this moment, he saw that everyone was happy with him and was very satisfied with him, and said to him, "Then what method was originally upright and did not say a word, but he also praised me at this time. Xu Zijiang's praise was actually stronger than two thousand infantry and cavalry under my command!" Satisfaction was the inner thing. On the surface, he maintained his usual humility. He said to Liu Yu modestly, "Chou was lucky to be prepared for the position, knowing that he could be shallow, and only knowing that he was loyal to the king's affairs, and only after death."

He paused and continued: After Sun Qing surrendered, Zhang Yan fled in the mountains, and the remaining tribes of Heishan in Jizhou fled into the mountains, hiding in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhao, and Wei. As Chou said just now, outside the left thieves, there are still many black mountains such as Huanglang in China, and there are many thieves who have taken advantage of the chaos. There are many thieves, most of them are nearly 10,000, and the few are three or four hundred, and there are all in a whole, and there are probably nearly 50,000, or even more than 50,000. Therefore, Chou thought that the king and the dukes should not be taken lightly against the West because of a small victory in Mafushan. "

Li Jin nodded and said, "The Lieutenant said so much." He asked Wen Chou, "Since the Lieutenant knew the thief's feelings, I would like to know that there is a plan to combat the thief. I would like to hear it."

When attacking the Western Mountains, the thieves in Heishan were related to the safety of Changshan Kingdom, the wealth, life and future careers. Liu Yu and others were all obsessed with Wen Chou and listened to him quietly.

Wen Chou said in his heart: "I cannot tell you all about my 'punishment strategy'."

After returning, he thought day and night that he had already had a draft of how to "punish the thief". However, his draft of draft was not all "punish the thief", but more about how to take the opportunity to expand his strength. Such as controlling county soldiers, summoning bravery, controlling city defense, etc. He could not say these contents bluntly, and he had to change his appearance and say something else.

He had prepared for this and said, "There are only two ugly strategies."

"Two methods? What are them? Please tell me!"

"First, epidemic prevention."

Huang Ming said: "Prevention?"

"Only, in the nine gates, the number of dead bandits and our army was no less than 100,000. There were also many dead in the battle in Dongjun, Runan, Yingchuan, and Nanyang. Not to mention anything else, my troops alone, from Yingchuan to Julu, were 30% off in just a few months. There were many soldiers and thieves, and more people died because of the war. Chou left Yingchuan and went through several states and counties. He saw the dead on his horse, and sat on the distance and looked near-sighted. When he was close to the road, he was hungry and hungry. Foxes carried corpses to the nest, jackals and wolves fought for their flesh. All kinds of tragic situations were unbearable. Chou saw it with his own eyes, and more than hundreds of thousands died because of the war!

"So many people who died in chaos, the sun was exposed to the sun and the rain was washed away. If the local area was not buried, it would inevitably cause a major epidemic. Once the epidemic broke out again, it would be given the evildoers' chances, and someone might be planning a rebellion."

Since Huan and Ling, there have been many major epidemics in the world. These people in the palace have experienced epidemics, or some people in their families and clans died in epidemics. When Wen Chou talks about epidemics, they all become more despised. They have a bit of the meaning of a tiger changing color.

Li Jin said, "The Lieutenant is right! I was thinking about this a few days ago. I was planning to send an edict to each county to order the county magistrates of the counties to send people to each township, and urge the Qiangfu of the township and the Li Kui of the Li family to properly bury the dead."

Liu Yu asked: "Epidemic prevention is one, what is the second?"

"Prepare food."

"Prepare food?"

"This year's thieves have delayed the seeds, and the thieves have plundered counties and townships. They have robbed the people's grain storage. Now the autumn harvest is over, and the people are still short of people, which is even more afraid. There are not many warehouses in the country, so I am afraid that they will not be able to care about each other when they come. If this situation occurs, there will be many people who are thieves. I think it is better to prepare them early and make good use of the grain to prepare for the urgent needs."

Li Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "What the lieutenant said is very much. I also have this worry... But, the chaos has passed, and all counties and states in Jizhou are short of food, where does this food come from?"

Wen Chou said in his heart: "Food is planted, not fallen from the sky. If you want to get food, there are naturally only two ways, either plant or grab it. Now it is too late to plant it, so there is only one snatch it."

Who will steal? Who will have food? Who will have food? Who will have food? The powerful and powerful.

He looked at the people quietly. He saw: Liu Yu was worried, Huang Zong frowned, Huang Ming scratched his head, and he pondered. It was obvious that they were thinking hard about how to get food. He thought to himself: "Liu Yu, Huang Zong and others lived in the country for a long time, and may not understand the thief in the mountains. But they must know the situation of the rich and powerful families in the country. They would not know that these powerful families were all rich and rich in grain, but looking at their hard-working and worried appearance, they seemed to have not thought about this at all."

Li Jin, Huang Zong, Huang Ming, He Fa and others were either from gentry or from powerful men. Of course they would not make any decisions on their class. Yes. They are not from Changshan. The powerful men of Changshan seemed to have nothing to do with them. They snatched them. Anyway, they were robbed. The powerful men of Changshan. The gentry were robbed. Anyway, they were robbed. Don’t forget that there are also local officials in their hometowns. If this starts, the local officials in their hometowns will do the same. What should they do? It is one thing to crack down on the powerful men and destroy the big surnames, and it is like cutting off the illegal powerful men and powerful men from themselves. In order for the class to occupy a dominant position for a longer time, and forcing the strong men and the big men to take action against them for no reason. It is another thing to force food from them. This behavior will harm their own interests.

Huang Ming scratched his head and sighed sadly, saying, "Picture cakes cannot fill your hunger, and cannot turn into food out of thin air. Alas, this food is not good... I wonder if the lieutenant has a good idea?"

Wen Chou said in his heart: "I am just here. Although I have won a small victory, I have also won the words of Li Jin 's military affairs to me'. However, I can only be considered as having just stopped at Changshan Kingdom and asked the powerful people that the great surname would never say what they wanted for food." Even if he said this, he could not come from him. He sighed inwardly and thought again: "Oh, I can't take it out of the grain warehouse. It's hateful and annoying. Forget it, I will concentrate on solving the county soldiers and city defense matters first, and then Xu Siliang's plan will solve this matter."

He replied with a deep affection: "Give grain and give compensation to the people, this is a civil service. Lieutenant is a military position, and this is not something that Chou is suitable for. Chou is the leader of the prince and the horse."

Huang Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, but he had no way to get food. His family knew his family affairs and knew that he was not a member of the people's governance and relieved the worries of the county and the country. He thought to himself: "What the lieutenant said is very much. It is civil affairs for the people to pay tribute to grain and grain, and to pay mercy to the people, and it is the affairs of the prime minister. The lieutenant is a military position, so it is not appropriate to speak; I am in charge of the guards and the young mansion, and I am not suitable to speak of civil affairs."

He looked at Li Jin sitting opposite him and thought to himself, "Let's worry about this matter!" As soon as he thought of this, he felt relaxed and said to Wen Chou with a smile, "The Prime Minister asked the lieutenant what strategy to combat the thief. The lieutenant answered two strategies: one to prevent the epidemic and two to prepare food. The "Book of Changes" says: "A gentleman is concerned about troubles and he is hesitant to prevent them." Preventing troubles is not the case, but why is the lieutenant not as specific strategy as the thief to combat the thief?"

After hearing Huang Ming's question, Liu Yu, Li Jin, Huang Zong, He Fa all took back his mind and paid close attention to Wen Chou, and listened to him.

Huang Ming couldn't think of a way to raise food, so he simply stopped thinking about it. It seemed that he was not in his position and did not plan his own affairs, but in fact it was a manifestation of his lack of responsibility. He was a child of the powerful family and did not worry about his lack of place. Even if he waited next spring, due to shortage of food, the thieves in Changshan Country were rampant and could not be treated anymore, he could still move to another place. If that was the case, why should he worry about it?

Compared with thieves and food, he was more interested in Wen Chou's specific strategy of fighting thieves. He thought: "Wei Zheng fought in several states and made great achievements. He is a good general. If I can take this opportunity to make some efforts and earn some military achievements, I can also boast about my relatives and friends in Luoyang."

The Han Dynasty emphasizes military merits. Generally, those who want to gain military merits are all for fame and fortune. Huang Ming is not the case. He is good. The purpose of earning military merits is just to wait to return to Luoyang in the future and can brag to his friends about his thoughts. If the Han family children who followed Wen Chou knew about it, most of them would change their nirvana. They would either feel sad that the power of the officials were in power, but they actually made such a person a thousand stones but made talented people feel resentful in their hometowns, or they would simply curse. Of course, they might also envy Huang Ming who has a good father.

Everyone in the palace didn't know Huang Ming's little thoughts

However, this issue was also what everyone was most concerned about. Because they all took back their minds and paid close attention to Wen Chou, listen to him.

Wen Chou had not yet spoken, but Huang Zong suddenly remembered something, turned his eyes and looked at King Zhao Liu Yu, stood up and said, "It is the matter of attacking the mountains and slapping the thieves. This county affairs should be discussed in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Just now, the Prime Minister Li Jin asked Wen Chou about his strategy to combat the thief. Wen Chou said two items: "epidemic prevention" and "preparation of grain". These two items are general arguments. It is okay to say it in the palace, but when it comes to the specific strategy of combating the thief, this is the "military and national affairs" of Changshan. The Han law prohibits the princes and kings from participating in political affairs, and military affairs are even more prohibited. Huang Zong is the tutor of the state. He is in charge of "guiding the king to be kind", what is "good"? For princes and kings, kindness means loyalty, filial piety and law-abiding. Therefore, after he reacted, he immediately made a statement to prevent Wen Chou from presenting the strategy in the palace.

Li Jin also woke up and said hurriedly: "What Mr. Huang said is"

King Liu Yu of Zhao knew the truth and was tactful, and immediately smiled and said, "Downy is coming, since the dukes still have to discuss the strategy of pacifying the thieves in detail, I will not keep them."

He left the table and stood up, and sent everyone out of the palace

When he arrived at the gate of the hall, he smiled and said to Wen Chou: "Now Japan wants to hold a banquet to celebrate the achievements of Wei, but the matter of suppressing the thief is serious, so he has to say that Wei comes from Yuzhou another day. Maybe he doesn't know the property of Jizhou. When Wei has time, he should set up a banquet to celebrate Chen singing and dancing to wait for the Dukes and Wei: roasting leopards and sautumns of Bohai Sea, savoring beautiful grinds in Jiye, and placing winter brews in the mountains, so that the demons of Luancheng will be dedicated to the seats. The elder Fu Xiang is on the right side of the seats. Wei Shaogui is proud and the heroic figure is on the side of the seats. The king of the orphans sits with him and observes the talent dance of Yuanshi, (To be continued.)
