Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Three Kingdoms Hidden Marquis!
Xudu, Shangshu Province.
"Alas!"
Xun Yu held Cao Cao's military order in his hand, his brows were tightly locked, and he sighed.
On the table are dozens of military orders urging grain and grass, each letter is marked with a date, the earliest one turned out to be more than half a month ago, that is, the day before the torrential rain poured, counting the time, the army's grain and grass should only have six or seven days of grain left.
Xun Yu is frowning now, and now even if he requisitions grain and grass and transports it to the Guanzhong camp, he is afraid that it will be too late.
Because, the grain and grass in the Xudu treasury are simply not enough to transport it to the camp in front, in other words, because of the relationship between the refugees gathering in Xudu, the grain stored in Xudu is no longer enough to support a war!
Alas!
The military order came a little late!
If before, he could have mobilized some grain and grass to transport to the front line, and Xu Du would not have taken in so many refugees, but now, ...... All military orders were stopped by a heavy rain.
Xun Yu believes that this is only the military order he saw, and he believes that there are some military orders that he can't see, such as the messenger who delayed the military order and defected directly!
"What to do! What should I do...... Grain...... There are more than 100,000 troops on the front line, where can they get food by themselves! Xun Yu stroked his beard and paced back and forth anxiously, this matter is imminent, you must know that there is no supply of grain and grass, the army in front will definitely be in turmoil, rout and flee, at that time the heyday of the Cao Wei group will inevitably plummet, and I don't know how many ambitious people will take advantage of the situation and stir up
This world!
……
"My lord, Lord Shangshu Zhong of the Ministry of Rites asks to see you!" The guard outside the door saluted Xun Yu and said.
"Oh? Please come in! ”
Xun Yu's brows tightened, thinking of this ritual book who loves calligraphy and becoming a demon, and he didn't know what would happen to him.
As Xun Yu fell, Zhong Yu walked in with a well-dressed man and saluted Xun Yu with a glance.
"Zhong Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Lower Rites, has seen Lord Xun!"
"Uh...... Lord Zhong, please wait a moment......" Xun Yu looked stunned when he saw Zhong Xuan's appearance of playing right, and then quickly forgave his sins, returned to the back hall and put on his official uniform, and then returned to the front hall.
The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, are the major affairs of the country, and the most important way to make decisions is sacrifice and war.
This is passed down from ancient times, and the ritual is the evolution of the sacrifice, and the Confucian saints also advocated the resumption of the Zhou ceremony, and educated the world.
Yes, Xun Yu attaches great importance to etiquette and behavior, otherwise...... What is the difference with uncivilized savages?
"Lord Xun, now the floods are raging, the fields are not harvested, the people in the states and counties are displaced, and now there are a large number of refugees who continue to come to Xudu, even though the Xudu Treasury is abundant, but if you want to hold on to the autumn harvest, you will be stretched thin if you want to come to the treasury!
Moreover, the lord of the front is using troops against Chang'an, and the armies of the rear are also guarding the border fortress to prevent Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and others from taking advantage of the situation.
In this way, the accumulation of grain and grass must be in the future, I don't know what Lord Xun plans to do? ”
Hearing Zhong Xuan's words, Xun Yu slowly sat up straight, his eyes looked at the other party seriously, he didn't believe that the other party would come to him for no reason and talk nonsense.
"I don't know how Lord Zhong can solve his worries?" Xun Yu said solemnly.
"Lord Xun, the reason why our family can do learning with peace of mind is precisely because of the protection of the lord, therefore, Zhong is not talented, and is willing to lobby all the families in Xu Capital City to prepare 100,000 stones of grain and grass to solve Xu Du's urgent needs!"
"Really?"
Hearing Zhong Xuan's words, Xun Yu stood up with a pout, grabbed Zhong Xuan's hand tightly, and didn't care about any etiquette at the moment, this is really a sleepy insect sending a pillow!
"You have no jokes!"
Zhong Miao nodded heavily, and their hands were clasped tightly.
"Dissatisfied with Lord Zhong, Yu Fangcai is worried about food and grass, isn't this ...... More than a dozen orders from the lord urging grain are on the desk, but a certain person has not made the earth-shattering change of Zhiyuan, and he can't change the grain and grass, but he doesn't want to ......"
Xun Yu was really moved, and he was even more affectionate to Zhong Xuan.
"Lack of food in the main army? Oh...... Yes, it must have been after the flood and the roads were muddy, which made the military order lag behind! ”
Zhong Yu seemed to know, casually glanced at those military orders, and said the reason, which made Xun Yu even more admired.
I didn't expect this person who loves calligraphy and only pays attention to etiquette to be so proficient in government affairs, it seems that the vision of himself and others before was a little narrow!
"I wonder how much you have raised military rations now?"
"Ahem...... Don't hide it from Lord Xun, your Xun family is the first family to lobby! A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhong Xuan's face, and he said to Xun Yu hard.
What the?
When Xun Yu heard this, his face was strange, and he looked at Zhong Yu for a long time without speaking.
"So...... If Lord Zhong can raise 100,000 military rations to send to the front line, Yu will thank the Lord for his generosity for serving the country on behalf of the front line with more than 100,000 troops! ”
Xun Yu held Zhong Xuan's hand and said solemnly.
"Lord Xun rest assured, he will not disgrace his mission in the future!"
Zhong Xuan said resolutely, and then turned around and went to Xun's house to pick up food with Xun Yu's family master's order.
Out of the Wei Palace, Zhong Xuan's steps were light, and he caught a glimpse of an old servant from a distance, and nodded to him quietly.
It's done!
The old servant smiled happily, the young master's strategy was really powerful, as long as Ning Rong was transferred, this person who transported grain and grass to Guanzhong was naturally capable of providing grain and grass.
And as long as the grain and grass can be sent to the front line safely, after the army is victorious, Lord Zhong will be reused for the work of transporting grain, and at that time, the family will continue to take the opportunity to infiltrate, and finally raise its head to suppress the children of the poor family!
Ning Rong didn't know that in order to seize power, the family of Xu Ducheng was able to donate 100,000 stone grain and grass so generously to supply the army.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because at this moment he had deviated from the trap set by Sima Yi.
But Sima Yi, the initiator, had to watch, and he couldn't show a strange expression to let Ning Rong notice it.
"Whew...... This can't be the Yangtze River, right? The water is spectacular......"
Pei Yuanshao stood at the bow of the boat with a mace, looking at the endless river, his face full of shock.
"That's right! This is the ...... of the Yangtze River" Ning Rong sat in the cabin and pouted helplessly, how did he run down the river to the Yangtze River.
Looking at Ning Rong's helpless appearance, Sima Yi muttered to himself, isn't this his intention? And just a coincidence!
"Pei Yuanshao, do you know the waterway! Didn't you let you extend the Huai River east into Huainan? How did you row a boat to the Yangtze River! ”
"Master Hou, I...... Hey, little sanzi, don't you always brag that you grew up near the water and are familiar with water? How did you get here! Pei Yuanshao scratched his head and wanted to explain, and when he saw the little third son rowing in front of him, he reprimanded him with a head and a face.
"Master Hou, Commander Pei, I ...... I just said that I am familiar with the water and can row, but ...... But I don't know the waterways of Yangzhou......" the little third son said aggrievedly.
"You ......"
"That's it! This is the will of heaven, but it is no wonder that he has come, since he has arrived at the Yangtze River, he will appreciate the majesty of the Yangtze River......"
Ning Rong stopped Pei Yuanshao's rude behavior, glanced at the little third son in a vague way, and cast appreciative eyes at him. Hearing Ning Rong's words, Sima Yi's heart was gloomy for a while, so he stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the water of the Yangtze River rolling eastward, and his heart was very dazed.
