Nanfeng County was originally a pass, Huazhou perennial war, Nanfeng Pass is a key place to guard the Western Regions, and later Emperor Wu of Wei opened up the territory, drove the people of the Western Regions out of Huazhou, set up three passes to defend, the role of Nanfeng Pass was diluted. Emperor Wei Ming set up Nanfeng County after Nanfeng Pass, which became the key to enter the state, and was the place where the Western Regions must pass through to enter the Central Plains, and was known as the "throat of the Western Regions". Because of the special geographical location, Nanfeng County has a large number of businessmen and people, and has become a large and rich county in the state.

The streets and alleys of Nanfeng County were full of begging refugees, and the atmosphere became tense, and the 3,000 garrisons defending the pass strengthened their defenses, and the government soldiers and recruits who arrived on orders from various states arrived one after another and were stationed in the open space west of the city. Fortunately, Nanfeng County was originally a place to store grain, and the court urgently transported 100,000 stone of grain, which was enough to support the 100,000 army for two months.

At the end of Shen, Jiang Anyi and his entourage hurried to Nanfeng County. After inquiring about the garrison in the west of the city, Jiang Anyi said: "Let's go directly to the barracks." ”

The soldiers from the west of the city, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, Louzhou, Lingzhou and other places have arrived, and the newly recruited soldiers from each state have arrived at the same time. Jiang Anyi did not enter the camp directly, but stationed his horse on a high slope outside the camp to watch the camp, there is a river to the south of the camp tent, the baggage camp is stationed by the river, and the other tents are arranged in a messy manner in the east and west, and the camp is as chaotic as a vegetable field, and there is no patrol team in sight, and no one comes out to ask how such an army can compete with the Western Regions coalition army.

Jiang Anyi's face was gloomy, and Pu Tianhao sighed: "A group of rabble, don't say rely on them to fight, but when you go to the battlefield, you mess up your own position." ”

Smoke rose from the camp and it was time for dinner. Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the baggage camp and made noise in front of the camp. Jiang Anyi lifted the reins and said, "Enter the camp." ”

Someone re-erected the banner of the envoy, and the group galloped into the village, and there were simple fortifications outside the camp, and finally a group of people blocked the way. Pu Tianhao said in a loud voice: "Lord Jiang An Yijiang was ordered to come and take over the camp by order of the envoy of Huazhou. ”

The captain who led the team obviously hadn't seen this meeting, and he was stunned and at a loss. Park Tianhao lit up the seal letter and shouted: "Don't get out of the way yet." ”

The camp was not allowed to gallop horses, Jiang Anyi jumped off his horse and strode towards the baggage camp, Park Tianhao and others handed the reins to the soldiers, and the captain came to his senses and called a soldier and said: "Go and report to Wu Sima, the officials sent by the court have arrived." ”

Ten zhang away, the noise in front of the baggage camp could be heard, and Park Tianhao separated the crowd and let Jiang Anyi in. A few rough-dressed men were arguing with the man dressed as a lieutenant, "...... This corn is moldy like this, and it can't be eaten at all, so let's change it. "There were several wooden barrels on the ground, and the corn in the barrels was gray in color and smelled musty.

The lieutenant pouted and said, "It's good to have something to eat with mud legs, and you can pick and choose, whether you like to eat or not." ”

Someone next to him scolded angrily: "Fuck, it's too bullying, is this what people eat, and pigs won't eat it." The court stipulates that each soldier has two liters of grain per day and half a pickle, but the soldiers in Huazhou are fully supplied, and our soldiers in Lingzhou only have one and a half liters in hand, and the pickles are almost as small as rice grains. ”

"Dude, you're not bad, don't you see that these recruits can only eat moldy rice? Damn, Lao Tzu saw that the grain was pulled away by this guy in the middle of the night, and eighty percent of them were sold. ”

"Let them spit out the grain", "Let's go to the lord to reason", "Reasoning is useless, the lord will be the Sima of Bingzhou, not to themselves", "We will smash the baggage camp, let's stop doing it"......

The lieutenant was a little timid, took half a step back, and shouted in a bluff: "Do you want to rebel? A few of you will bring up the barrels, and I will change them for you, and the others will not gather here, but scatter, otherwise I will report to the general and the military law will be engaged. ”

Jiang Anyi looked at it coldly, drank the captain, and said, "Wait, what these people say is the truth?" ”

The captain took care of Jiang Anyi up and down, Jiang Anyi was not wearing an official uniform, and Park Tianhao and the others were also wearing cyan suits, looking extraordinary. There were soldiers from all over the camp, and the lieutenant did not dare to make a mistake, but asked, "Which state are you from?" Something to find Wu Sima. ”

As soon as the words fell, the sound of hurried footsteps came from far and near, and Sima Wu Yuankai hurriedly arrived with a group of people. When the lieutenant saw Wu Yuankai, he immediately had a backbone, glanced at everyone proudly, and shouted: "You gathered a crowd to make trouble, alarmed Lord Sima, wait for the board." ”

The court ordered the soldiers and recruits of the state to gather in Nanfeng County, and the state assassin Shi Quan Xingqing did not dare to slack off, and transferred 2,000 soldiers from the prefecture and 1,000 regiments from each county, and recruited 2,000 new soldiers, so that Sima Wu Yuankai led the way to Nanfeng County, and waited for reinforcements from various states and the army of the court in Nanfeng County. Wu Yuankai is a civilian official, and he has never led soldiers to fight, so he handed over things such as setting up a camp and garrisoning to his two captains, one in charge of soldiers and one in charge of grain, and the one in front of the baggage camp was Suo Jiansheng, who was in charge of food.

Suo Jiansheng hurriedly greeted Wu Sima, bowed down with a smile and saluted: "Master Wu, how did a little thing alarm you, you came back from listening to the scenery of the wind cliff, you must have a good poem again, and the piece of inkstone that you gave you is a good ......."

Wu Yuankai ignored Suo Jiansheng, his eyes fell on Jiang Anyi and his party, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "May I ask who is Master Jiang?" ”

Jiang Anyi bowed his hand and saluted back, saying, "This official, Jiang Anyi, has been ordered to come and take over the barracks. Park Tianhao handed over the seal letter, and after Wu Yuankai inspected it, he dressed again and saluted: "Sima Wu Yuankai of Bingzhou has seen Lord Jiang, the envoy of Huazhou. ”

The soldiers watching next to him discussed softly, not understanding what kind of official the envoy was, but when they saw Wu Sima saluting Jiang Anyi, they knew that it was a senior official sent by the court. Someone shouted: "My lord, Captain Suo has withheld military rations and filled them with moldy corn. ”

The call of "please be the master" sounded Wu Yuankai's face also changed, he had heard about Suo Jiansheng's sale of military rations, but after receiving Suo Jiansheng's benefits, he turned a blind eye, at this moment, in Huazhou, how dare he be perfunctory in front of the commander of the new army of the court, and hurriedly asked: "Suo Jiansheng, what's the matter?" ”

Suo Jiansheng shook and collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Anyi raised his hand, signaled the surrounding soldiers to be quiet, and raised his voice: "This official is Jiang Anyi, the new envoy of Huazhou, and he led you to Huazhou to defend against the enemy on the order of the Son of Heaven. It is a matter of course for a soldier to eat food, and anyone who dares to withhold military rations is a capital crime. ”

Suo Jiansheng was already so frightened that he fainted. Wu Yuankai knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The lower official has neglected to supervise, please surrender your lordship." Jiang Anyi is not one of those literati who can only play tricks, he can be regarded as a murderer, and Wu Yuankai can't help but tremble.

As the commander of the camp, Jiang Anyi really wanted to order Wu Yuankai to be taken down, but he was only a strategic envoy of Huazhou, and he couldn't just ask about Sima Zhou's crime as soon as he arrived, not to mention that the army had to rest in Nanfeng County, and this guy's government soldiers and recruits also had to be trained, so he simply took Wu Yuankai's shortcomings and asked him to cooperate with his heart.

"Wu Sima, your matter will be discussed later, let's go to the baggage camp together first." Jiang Anyi helped Wu Yuankai up and said in a harmonious voice. Wu Yuankai reluctantly stood up, listening to Jiang Anyi's soft tone, and his heart was more stable. Jiang Anyi said to the soldiers around him: "Ten of you have nominated ten people, and they will go in with this official to check." ”

There was a group of people at the back door of the baggage camp who were about to leave secretly, and some soldiers who were watching the excitement found out and shouted loudly, and the group of people became more and more panicked, and some people actually wanted to cross the river.

Jiang Anyi said to Park Tianhao: "Go and ask, what are those people doing?" ”

Park Tianhao led people to quickly detain these people, and the group knew that the situation was not good, so they knelt down and snorted. Jiang Anyi looked at it and found that these people did not look like soldiers, and asked, "Who are you and why are you in the barracks?" ”

Park Tianhao said beside him: "My lord, I don't think these people are like soldiers in the battalion, they shouldn't be spies from the Western Regions." ”

The hat was heavy enough, and the group of people wept and said, "Your Excellency, we are not spies, we are grain merchants in Nanfeng City. ”

The situation soon became clear that this group of people had colluded with Suo Jiansheng, and Suo Jiansheng sold the detained grain to them cheaply, while the grain merchants dragged the grain away at night, and at the same time brought in the moldy grain as good grain, and went back and forth to make a profit.

The soldiers watching around were so angry that they scolded, Jiang Anyi thought that he would take this opportunity to clean up the military camp, and immediately said: "Wu Sima, stealing and selling military rations is a big deal, and this official wants to raise the account to inquire about the case." ”

Wu Yuankai was waiting for the guilty body at this time, and hurriedly responded: "Your Excellency, please go to the camp tent of the Chinese army, and the subordinate officials will order people to beat drums and gather generals." ”

The drums sounded, and the generals above the lieutenant colonel of the battalion came to pay respects, and found that the main seat had changed, and Wu Sima stood aside with a bitter face, and knew that the court had sent someone. Park Tianhao loudly announced Jiang Anyi's identity, showed Jiang Anyi's seal letter to everyone, and everyone bowed down to pay homage.

"Generals, when this officer first arrived at the camp, he found that the camp was disorganized and there was no military discipline at all. Suo Jiansheng was in charge of the baggage in the battalion, and he actually used the public to help privately, withheld military rations, and gave moldy grain to the soldiers to eat, which was really a loss of conscience. Jiang Anyi slapped the table heavily and shouted: "If you don't kill these silverfish, it's not enough to calm your anger, come and show Suo Jiansheng's head to the camp." ”

Suo Jiansheng's head fell to the ground, there was a sound of jubilation in the camp, but there was silence in the handsome tent, everyone knew that Master Jiang was killing chickens to show monkeys, and everyone in the tent could not escape the responsibility after careful study.

Taking advantage of Suo Jiansheng's prestige, Jiang Anyi announced a series of general orders, which were rearranged in all aspects such as identifying numbers and flags, camping and training, marching and field battles, and defensive coordination, and the command of the barracks was handed over to Park Tianhao, who was already a guerrilla general under the fifth grade, and it was more than enough to command a group of seven or eight-rank captains.

The military order is like a mountain, and everyone does not dare to disobey it, so they bow down and obey the order. The generals came out of the tent, only Jiang Anyi and Wu Sima were left in the big tent, Wu Yuankai felt the pressure increased greatly, his head seemed to be pressed by a high mountain, and his body couldn't help but be a little shorter.

Jiang Anyi looked at Wu Yuankai with a smile and said, "Wu Sima." ”

Wu Yuankai shook and hurriedly said, "The lower official is guilty, please punish him." ”

Jiang Anyi held back a smile and said, "Wu Sima, you have been negligent, but this official allows you to make meritorious contributions." ”

Wu Yuankai was overjoyed and said, "Please show me." ”

"Wu Sima, those grain merchants who were arrested just now had the audacity to collude with Suo Jiansheng to steal and sell military rations, and filled them with moldy grain, and they really couldn't be let go easily. You took 500 soldiers to raid their grain depots, and pulled all the grain stored by these grain merchants to the barracks, so that the refugees in Huazhou lacked food and clothing, so they used this grain to help the refugees. Jiang Anyi said.

Copying the house is a beautiful difference, and Wu Yuankai happily should be.

Jiang Anyi continued to instruct: "Wu Sima, this official has a word first, but he only confiscates the grain, if these grain merchants accuse you of taking the opportunity to loot property, then the official will punish you for two crimes." What to do, you have to know in your own mind. ”

Wu Yuankai smiled and froze, and his bitter face should be again.
