Huan Rong

Chapter 69

Huan Rong's new official took office, and he dared not be careless.He got up before dawn, leaving Xun You and Qian Shi to guard the camp, and led Zhong Lin, Dian Kui and twenty-five servants to the camp where the vanguard army was stationed.

Huanxi received thirty military sticks and was demoted to team leader.

Liu Laozhi took over the forward right army and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Immediately after the official document was issued, he led his troops to the camp, holding the general's seal in his hand, and issued several military orders in succession to deal with five or six confidantes placed by Huanxi, replace three building masters, and rectify the infantry patrolling the camp.Anyone who dares to take the lead in provoking trouble will be dealt with by military law.

However, in just one day, the barracks changed drastically.

General Liu's new official took office three fires, which made the forward and right army miserable, but they dared not openly disobey, and complained a few times, but they were terrified.

When it comes to being stern and selfless, General Liu is the best.Regardless of whether you are a general or an infantry, and whoever stands behind you, once you violate the military order, you will be knocked down, and you will be beaten with a military stick.

Huanxi woke up from a coma and learned that he had been demoted, and there were only 200 people under him, and he was furious immediately.Knowing that all the confidantes who were placed in the army were eliminated, and the three masters were replaced by generals of the Beifu Army, they came to find a theory surnamed Liu.

"My son, be careful!"

The doctor was looking at the decoction, and there were only two children in the tent. Huan Xi couldn't stop the furious Huan Xi, he could only watch him jump up, halfway his face was pale, his whole body was stiff, and he fell down on the couch with a scream.

"Sir!"

The little boy was so frightened that his voice changed, and he rushed forward to help him.In the end, his strength was useless, the wound on Huan Xi's back burst open, and the bandage was instantly stained red with blood.

"what!"

From birth to now, Huanxi has lived for more than [-] years, and Huanxi has never suffered such a crime.Being supported by the little boy, he lay down on the couch, sweating profusely from the pain, and gnashing his teeth in hatred.

Don't let him seize the opportunity, otherwise, you must make that slave look good!

The doctor brought the decoction into the account, and seeing Huan Xi's wound burst, his expression changed immediately.He was not worried about Huanxi, but he was afraid of Sima Huan. Even if he healed the son's stick wound, he would be guilty of negligence if the incident got out today.

Sima Huan frowned, he could never have a better life.

The doctor thought about it, and decided not to leave Huanxi's side.Similarly, Huanxi was not allowed to leave the bed for half a step until the injury improved.

Therefore, before the army set off, Huanxi basically didn't show up in the army.So much so that most of the generals almost forgot that Prince Nanjun was still in the forward barracks and would go out with the army.

In this way, it will save Liu Laozhi and Huan Rong a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Even if Xi Chao came up with a plan to attack the two, if Huan Xi didn't show up, even the best plan would fail.The people under him have long been kicked out by the subordinates. Whoever dares to take the lead in causing trouble will be beaten down with a military stick. If he is dishonest, he must be honest.

Liu Laozhi is a natural general, he is meticulous in rectifying military discipline, and spares no effort in supervising the training of generals.

After Huan Rong entered the camp, he could clearly feel the atmosphere was different.

Tight and chill.

He was [-]% sure that before Liu Laozhi took over, with Huanxi's ability to lead troops, the forward right army would never have such evil spirit.

"I've seen the general!"

When the two met, Huan Rong was the first to salute.

Regardless of the personal friendship, now that Liu Laozhi is the leader of the forward right army, and Huan Rong is working under him, he must take the lead in saluting to show military discipline.

Liu Laozhi had received Huan Rong's gift and invited him into the account with a smile.Call the previous grain transport officer, take out the book that records the grain and fodder, and hand it over face to face.

"The corn, soybeans and wheat are all counted and loaded into the grain truck."

The grain transport officer handed out the booklet, smiling all over his face.

Zhong Lin opened the book and checked it with a civil servant.

The official surname is Wang Tong, but it has nothing to do with the Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family.

He was born in a poor family, his ancestral home was Kuaiji, and his arithmetic ability surpassed that of ordinary people.If you come from a noble family, you are at least the head of the county and county now. Unfortunately, there are restrictions on family status, and it is the limit to be a civil servant in the army.

Huan Rong and Liu Laozhi sat and talked, mainly about the departure date and route of the forward right army.

Once the army sets off, food and grass are the top priority.Huan Rong shoulders a heavy responsibility and must not make mistakes.Otherwise, it would be impossible for Liu Laozhi to lead his troops deep into the enemy's territory and lack food and clothing to win the battle.

"The waterway in the north is bound to be blocked due to the severe drought in June. The commander-in-chief ordered that the soldiers in the army dig through Juye for three hundred miles, divert the Wenshui River into the Qingjiang River, and then pull the boat into the river."

Liu Jianzhi spread out the map and pointed out the location of crossing the river to Huan Rong.

This map is very crude, only slightly better than that drawn by Xi Chao.Huan Rong frowned, but didn't say anything hastily. He just listened carefully and sketched in his mind to form a more intuitive road map.

"The boat enters the Qingjiang River and goes upstream, passing Xiapi first." Liu Laozhi pointed a circle drawn in ink, and then pointed out two directions respectively, and said, "In the opinion of the commander-in-chief, the army will pass through Pengcheng. If you think that you will meet Murongchui after crossing Pengcheng, it is better to go to Yecheng via Lanling County, bypassing Yuzhou."

Overall, both routes of entry are good.

Sima Huan intends to fight steadily and win one or two small victories first, while envoy Xi Ting wants to save some effort and go straight to Huanglong.

It cannot be said who is right and who is wrong, but judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the latter is preferable.

It's just that Sima Huan may not be willing to accept the opinions of his "opponent".

He organized the Northern Expedition with the intention not to destroy the Yan State, but to accumulate prestige and pave the way for forcing the Jin Emperor to Zen.

If Yecheng is attacked, Xianbei will surely rush forward, and the war will definitely drag on for a long time.If we don't move Yecheng, we should first take a few counties close to Jin, which can not only deter Murong Xianbei, but also gain reputation among the people, why not do it?

The purpose behind it can also be inferred from the time he set for the march.

June is not the best time to go north.There is also a drought, and there will be no rain for several months. The waterway will definitely be difficult, and the army may be trapped on the way.

Go north along the land route, and start a war with the Xianbei cavalry who are waiting for work?

Just kidding!

Huan Rong knew the result of the Northern Expedition.

In fact, history moves forward according to the trajectory, and he will be safer if the Eastern Jin and Northern Expeditions fail.However, when he thought of the generals who were about to be killed and wounded, and the people of the Han family who were imprisoned and enslaved by the Hu people, he felt confused and even guilty. It was as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, which was so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe.

Liu Laozhi concentrated on looking at the map, but didn't notice Huan Rong's abnormal condition.

After Zhong Lin finished counting the books, she turned around and saw him in a daze, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think there is something wrong, Mr. Fu?"

"No." Huan Rong shook his head, took a deep breath, barely suppressed his irritability, took the counted books, and said, "The numbers are the same?"

"There is no discrepancy in the number in the book, and the grain trucks still need to be counted."

Huan Rong nodded, and exited the general's tent on the pretext of counting the grain carts himself.

When the army set off, and which route to go north, he could not decide.All he can do is to stick to his job and ensure that the military rations are safe.

As for the others, with my current ability, it's useless to think too much, it just adds to my troubles.

Huan Rong is not a military talent, and he doesn't have the confidence to give advice and change the entire battle situation with a few words.If you don't know how to pretend to know how to intervene indiscriminately, it will make the situation worse, and it will be too late to regret.

Xi Yin's participation in the Northern Expedition has changed history.

Whether it can push the gears of history and push the war situation to another track is both man-made and God's will.

"Your Majesty, the grain cart is now in the north of the camp." The clerk leading the way said respectfully.

"So, lead the way."

The closer the grain truck was, the more nervous the grain transport officer became.Ever since Huan Rong decided to inspect the grain trucks himself, the grain transport officer's expression changed several times, showing a little fear in his nervousness.

Huan Rong found out that something was wrong, so he got worried and didn't ask on the spot.When they arrived at the storage place of grain and fodder, they immediately sent away the pawns guarding the grain carts, and ordered Buqu and Jianfu to come forward and count them.

After checking this, I found the problem.

On the surface, the amount of corn, soybeans and wheat is not bad, but when the cloth bag containing the grain is untied, it contains moldy grain!

Continue to check, one-third of the whole truckload of military rations is moldy, one-third is mixed with stones, and the remaining one-third can only be imported.

"Unload all the cars!"

Huan Rong's face darkened, his hands were behind his back, his fingers were clenched tightly, the knuckles were almost bloodless.

This is military rations?

This is the ration of the vanguard army? !

Bag after bag of food was moved out of the cart, and there was not enough manpower, so the army infantry was simply called in.More than a hundred people worked together, and within half an hour, the grain cart was emptied.

"Open the bag!"

Huan Rong ordered an inspection on the spot.

The food transport officer was paralyzed on the ground, his face ashen.He wanted to talk to Huan Rong, but Dian Kui kicked him away.

Literary official Wang Tong fell on the ground with a calm expression, even a little relieved.

The food and fodder in the army has been manipulated long ago, from Huanxi down to the owner of the building, they are all filling their own pockets.As a handler, the grain transport officer has benefited a lot from it.

According to the plan, after the army goes north, it will plunder the local grain and wheat as a supplement, and no one will find out that the army rations have been exchanged.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed overnight, Huanxi violated the military order and was punished, and was demoted from general to team leader.The three building owners were demoted and transferred away, and Huan Rong took over the grain transportation.

The grain transport officer had no time to change the grain and grass, so he summoned the civil servants overnight to change the account books, intending to muddle through.

If he can pass this test, if the incident happens in the future, it can be pushed to Huan Rong.Maybe he can take the opportunity to please the prince of Nanjun and get more benefits.

Unexpectedly, things did not develop as expected, and there was no mistake in the account books, Huan Rong actually wanted to check the military rations himself!

No matter how good the account books are, the military rations cannot be exchanged.

Bags of grain were unloaded, and they were opened in front of everyone. The grain transport officer lost his last sliver of luck, knowing that his death was approaching.

The food bags were opened one by one, and the amount of rations that could be imported became less and less. Moldy corn and peas mixed with stones piled up into mountains.

Huan Rong gritted his back molars, Zhong Lin frowned, and Dian Kui glared at the grain transport officer, but Huan Rong could have punched him until he vomited blood.

The soldiers of the vanguard army around them were full of anger, and their eyes were all fierce.

They desperately defended their home and country, with their heads tied to their waistbands, fighting desperately with the barbarians, but these XX children were greedy for their rations!If you eat such rations, you will be poisoned to death if you are not hacked to death by the barbarians!

"Go on, open all!"

More than a hundred carts of military rations and thousands of sheaves of grain and grass are all the lives of the soldiers and the blood of the soldiers!

Huan Rong glared at the food transport officer, really wanting to know what color this person's heart is!

Liu Jianzhi listened to the report, put down what he was doing and rushed over. When he saw the moldy rations, he clenched his fists on the spot and blushed furiously.

"How dare you!"

Pushing away the trilogy twice, Liu Laozhi strode forward and picked up the grain delivery officer, as if he was picking up a chicken.

"Who gave you the guts, say!"

The food transport officer left his feet off the ground, shaking like chaff.Even so, he still gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word.

He is very clear that if he bears the crime, perhaps his family still has a way out.If he dared to bite out Huanxi, let alone his family, the whole family would suffer.

"Say!"

Liu Lao was so angry that he clenched his fingers tightly.The food transport officer's complexion was swollen, his eyes turned white, and his breath gradually weakened.

"General." Huan Rong stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "This man cannot die."

Liu Laozhi was full of anger, his expression was ferocious, and he obviously wanted to kill someone.

Everyone was awed by his prestige, and they all retreated.

Only Huan Rong dared to speak out, and immediately attracted more than a dozen admiring eyes.

It is worthy of being the county magistrate Huan who "boiled the living"!

What a hero!

After being reminded by Huan Rong, Liu Laozhi finally calmed down a bit, let go of his five fingers, and the food transport officer fell to the ground, covering his throat with his hands, coughing quickly, and there was a hooting sound in his throat.

Huan Rong frowned.

With General Liu's strength, this man's trachea may be injured, maybe even his bones are damaged.

If you want to ask for a confession, you need to spend a lot of effort.

Leaving aside the grain transportation officer, Huan Rong discussed with Liu Jianzhi, quickly counted out the military rations, recorded the moldy grains and grains mixed with stones in the book, and delivered them to Sima Huan as soon as possible.

"It's not easy for the general to decide on his own," Huan Rong said.

There was such a big leak in the military rations that Huanxi couldn't get rid of it.But Liu Jianzhi couldn't order to deal with it, and Huan Rong couldn't either.It is best to report the matter to Sima Huan.

From Huan Rong's point of view, dealing with Huan Xi came second, and the most important thing was to supplement the army rations.

How do you fight when you are hungry?

What's more, Liu Huanxi has a bargaining chip in his hands as he is in the front right army.Sima Huan wanted to keep his eldest son alive, so he had to pay the price.Not to mention the replenishment of military rations, some extra benefits must be given to stop more than 5000 mouths of the army.

Otherwise, Huan Xi, as a vanguard general, took the lead in greedy for military rations, and when things like this got out, Sima Huan would not only lose face, but would even be slapped until his face was swollen.

"The general is trustworthy, so I will leave this matter to Rong."

Huan Rong took the initiative to invite Ying, Liu Laozhi calmed down, knowing that there was no better way, he immediately nodded in agreement, and sent someone to report to Xi Jishi.

The food of the forward right army was corrupted, and the forward left army might not be clean.

Whether you want to use this to investigate and take the opportunity to arrange personnel depends on what Xiji envoys plan.

Huan Rong wrote a handwritten letter and ordered his servants to send him back to the station in the city, telling Xun You Qian Shi that he would break out of the camp today and join the forward right army without waiting until tomorrow.

"Tell Xun Sheren that there is an accident with the army rations, and come quickly."

"promise!"

The healthy servant galloped out of the gate of the camp, Huan Rong walked into the temporary tent, spread out the bamboo slips, rubbed the ink and picked up the brush, and the two-hour letter was an official letter, stamped with the seal of the county magistrate, and sent to the Central Military University. account.

"Present it to the commander in chief. If the commander in chief asks, he will say that he doesn't know anything."

"promise!"

Huan Rong kept an eye out, instead of using Dian Kui and others, he ordered Huan Chong's trilogy to deliver the letter.

Huan Chong didn't come across this one when he entered the camp of the Chinese Army, but if he did, he would definitely ask him a question or two.There were so many people in the camp, and the news couldn't be suppressed, how Huan Da Sima would respond, he was really looking forward to it.

I have to admit that cheating is really addictive.Especially when it was the scumbag who fell into the trap, the feeling was like flying.

After dealing with the relevant matters, the military cook set up a cauldron and started to boil water to prepare meals.

Huan Rong ordered people to go back to the station to bring six pieces of mutton, and handed it to the cook to cook the broth.

"Steam wheat cakes and cook bean rice today."

Five thousand soldiers, a few pieces of mutton are naturally not enough.Boiled into a broth, everyone can see some oily flowers in their bowls, and can also taste some meat.

After arranging the soldiers, Huan Rong specially called the cook to prepare a small stove for Huan Xi.

"Use this bag."

Huan Rong raised his chin, signaling the cook to take food from the bag.

The cook scooped up a bowl, looked at the pebbles mixed in the beans, then looked at Mr. Huanfu, who had raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled meaningfully, and immediately understood.

After living for more than 40 years, he has never been so smart as he is now!

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the bean and rice are steamed and will be delivered to the crown prince while it's still hot."

"good!"

Satisfied, Huan Rong turned and walked into the tent.

Holding the pottery bowl, the cook glared at the servant who was about to pick up the stones, and said, "Choose whatever you choose, cook like this!"

The servant was dumbfounded.

Cook like this?

Is that eating stones or eating?

The cook ignored him, walked to the pot with the clay bowl in his hand, poured water into the pot after a random flush.

On that day, Huanxi had the most unforgettable meal in his life.

When Sima Huan received the bamboo slips, he smashed down the low table with both fists. It wasn't Xi Chao who stopped him. He was afraid that he would personally bring Huan Xi up, hang him in front of the tent, and whip him hard.

Do you eat less or wear less?

Dare to be greedy for military rations!

Have you cheated your father so much? !

At the same time, the goshawk flew over Yuzhou and arrived at the border of Luozhou, just in time to meet Qin Jing who was out on patrol, and immediately flew down from midair with a loud cry.

Because Murong Chui has been entrenched in Yuzhou for a long time, Jin soldiers are about to go north. In order to prevent changes, Qin Jing returned from Xihe County to strengthen the defense of Wubao.

Qin Yu received Qin Ce's warrant and temporarily stayed in Wubao, Luozhou, not only to guard against Murong Chui, but also to guard against the unknown Di people.

When the goshawk flew down, Qin Yu happened to come on his horse.Seeing Qin Jing raise his forearm covered with wolf fur, Goshawk stood firm and rubbed his cheek with his head.Compared with the treatment I received, I couldn't help but feel teeth ache.

In vain he had hunted two deer for this bird, just such a differential treatment!

Is it because of the face?

Literally, they were all born to the same father, and he is not bad looking either.

Qin Yu touched his face, feeling more and more puzzled.
