Chapter 63 Timely Rain

Yuan Mai sent an invitation to him again, and Tian Chou decided to take the opportunity to go down the road and agreed. He helped Yuan Mai, who had bowed to the ground, and then asked in a jokey tone: "I don't know why the young master planned to appoint Chou?"

Yuan Mai thought for a brief moment and replied domineeringly: "If you buy it as a prince in the future, the sir will be the prefect of a county and the prime minister of a country; if you buy it, you can achieve the career of the five hegemons, the sir will be the pastor of a state, or the lonely Xiao He!"

Yuan Mai originally wanted to say how he would be after becoming the emperor, but he didn't say it out loud. Although the Han Dynasty was in danger at this time, it had not yet been destroyed. In the eyes of many gentry, the world was still owned by the Liu family. If he said it like this, he would be a bit ruthless, and he would be cautious in his words and actions.

You must not be like Yuan Shu, the brainless second uncle. If you get a jade seal, you will not know that the sky is so high that the earth is so thick that you will be arrogant and become emperor, which will lead to enemies everywhere and eventually die. Because there is no honey water to drink, you will die of grief and anger!

After hearing what Yuan Mai said, Tian Chou not only did not feel arrogant, but instead felt that the fourth son of the Yuan family was very generous. Others were not qualified to say this, but as a descendant of the Yuan family, he had the capital!

"Haha...Chou was just joking, young master, don't take it seriously."

After hearing Yuan Mai's heartfelt words, Tian Chou said politely, "I am a mountain villager. He has no great ability except to teach the people to farm, manage some idle things, and break up disputes between parents. If the young master asked me to give advice and lead troops to fight, he would never be able to let me manage the rear and supply food and grass."

"Sir, you are my Xiao He from today!" Yuan Mai laughed and held Tian Chou's hand.

Finally, I fooled this guy on board. As for whether you will be Xiao He or Cao Shen in the future, it depends on your own ability. Anyway, I lack talents under my subordinates in the early stage, so I will definitely treat you as a great god first.

At this time, the servant brought wine and food, and the three of them raised their glasses to drink. Yuan Mai introduced Wang Shuang to Tian Chou again, saying that he was an unparalleled general, and his martial arts were not as good as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so everyone would discuss military affairs more in the future.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are famous generals in Hebei and are famous all over the world. Tian Chou has long heard of his reputation. Seeing that Wang Shuang was young, about twenty years old, he didn't believe it when he said that he was as good as the martial arts of these two powerful generals. But he didn't say much, but just smiled and agreed a few words, and did not take it seriously.

Yuan Mai still doesn’t know what Tian Chou’s word is, so he asked respectfully. Tian Chou replied that his word “Zi Tai” was called “Zi Tai”. Only then did Yuan Mai realize that, so he changed his words to “Mr. Zi Tai”.

After eating a while, Tian Chou asked, "I heard from the young master that I came to Xu Wushan. In addition to asking me, the village man to go down the mountain, I also had to borrow food. For some reason? Is it true that Lord Mu of the State ordered you and General Qu Yi to conquer Dai County in the north and not to equip you with food and grass?"

"It's really shameful to say that my father has delivered us 150,000 stones of grain and grass, which can supply 10,000 people for three months. Yesterday, when he was preparing to go through the caliber, he was raided by the Black Mountain Army, and he robbed 90,000 stones of grain and grass. He didn't dare to ask for grain from his father anymore, so he borrowed grain from the prime minister of Dong Guo of Changshan. Unexpectedly, the grain and grass in Changshan were already sold out. Dong Cen said that Xu Wushan had food and grass, so he came to borrow grain. I should establish a document. When I captured Dai County, I got the food and grass, and returned it to Xu Wushan!" Yuan Mai put down his wine glass and roughly told the matter.

Tian Chou laughed and said, "This Prime Minister Dong hid food and grass and refused to give it to the young master, but he betrayed me. Fortunately, I still had a few encounters with him! Changshan is close to Taihang and is often robbed by black mountain bandits, but Changshan is rich in land, so it is no problem to take out 100,000 stones of food and grass."

Yuan Mai thought Tian Chou's words meant that he did not want to borrow grain, so he hurriedly promised: "Then Dong Cen said that the Changshan granary only had 30,000 stones of grain and grass, so he borrowed 10,000 stones of grain and grass. It is not easy to force us, so he had to come and ask sir. Zitai, don't worry, I promise you as the son of the provincial maid family that no matter how much grain and grass you borrow, I will return it in full in the future. If Zitai doesn't believe it, I will make a document for you!"

"Haha... Master Mai is so serious. Chou doesn't mean that. I am already yours. Do you still care about mere grain and grass? I have been in Xu Wushan for many years. I dare not say that the grain storage is comparable to Shangjun and the state, but it is not much inferior. There are 150,000 stones of grain and grass in the granary on the mountain, so it is not a problem to lend half of it." Tian Chou raised his wine glass and persuaded Yuan Mai to drink, and promised generously.

Yuan Mai was very happy. In this way, he finally replenished the lost food and grass, and finally put down a stone in his heart. The loss of food and grass was caused by his own decision-making mistakes. This was an explanation for the soldiers of the three armies, so that Qu Yi would not let him take his own handle every day to tell things.

"Mr. Zitai is very kind and virtuous, so I won't say much polite words if I buy it. I will repay you in this life. I will write a letter to my father, and I will give you a title to you to commend your achievements!"

Tian Chou was naturally happy to get a job, and said humbly: "It's a matter of raising hands, so why bother? What's more, Xu Wushan can get peace for several years. In addition to my joint efforts with the people on the mountain, it is also inseparable from Yuan Jizhou's efforts to govern. Giving food and grass is also a matter of duty."

"Haha... OK, Mr. Zitai is loyal. I will immediately write a letter to my father, and I will definitely seek a job for you." Yuan Mai raised his glass to toast Tian Chou, and promised with confidence.

Tian Chou nodded slightly: "Premium offering is a problem, and Cho also has another problem. There are more than 3,000 strong people on my mountain. After years of training, although they are not as good as regular troops, they are quite powerful. Many of them want to join the army in order to make achievements. Since the young master has taken over Tian Chou, I will take them together. Tomorrow I will send an order. Those who are interested in joining the army will follow us to Dai County. Those who are unintentional will continue to stay and guard the mountain village. I wonder what the young master wants to do?"

Yuan Mai stood up again and thanked Tian Chou: "Mai is the time to continue using troops. Mr. is just a rain of time. Mr. I really don't know how to thank him for his kindness!"

"However, something makes Chou feel tricky?" Tian Chou touched his chin and said with some concern.

"Sir, do you have any worries? Let me tell you. As long as I can help, I will do my best." Yuan Mai put down his wine glass and asked seriously.

Tian Chou said: "I'm afraid that the Heishan Army will know that I will borrow food to you, so I will send troops to help me. After my strong spirits run away from the mountain, I will come to seek revenge, and the elderly, weak, women and children in the mountain will suffer!"

Yuan Mai thought for a moment and asked, "If a thousand strong spirits are left in the mountains, how long can it take to resist the attack of the Black Mountain bandits?"

"The construction of counterfeit fortifications is extremely perfect, and there are many hidden traps. Even if 10,000 Black Mountain bandits attack, they can resist for half a day!" Tian Chou replied confidently.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Mai had already thought of a countermeasure and suggested: "Is this good? If the strong will join the army tomorrow, and there are less than a thousand people left, the weak will be moved to Changshan City. Dong Cen asked me to borrow food from you, and I felt guilty and would definitely not refuse. If there are a thousand strong will be left, let them guard the mountain village. I will write a letter to Dong Cen, the prime minister of Changshan, and Zhang Rang, if there are black mountain bandits who invade the mountain village, be sure to rush to support as quickly as possible. If the black mountain bandits break the village, how about it?"

Tian Chou nodded and said, "I have to do this, and there is no other good idea to give up this!"

After the three of them finished drinking, Tian Chou sent someone to arrange for Yuan Mai and Wang Shuang to live there. He sent an order. If someone was willing to join the army, he would pack his bags tomorrow and follow him down the mountain. If he was unwilling to join the army, he would continue to stay on the mountain to protect the village.

The next day, Tian Chou counted the number of people. More than 2,100 people were willing to go down the mountain to join the army. There were 1,200 people who did not want to leave the village and just wanted to guard their wives and children at home. Tian Chou then chose a capable and respected person from the people who stayed behind to manage the village for him. He urged them to protect the village well and strictly prevent the robbers from robbers in the mountains.

After all the matters were arranged, Tian Chou urged Yuan to buy it for Changshan. The prime ministers of Zhongshan and wrote a letter, and warned them as the princess of the prefecture to ensure the safety of Xu Wushan. He then brought more than 2,000 people and escorted 80,000 stones of grain to head towards Changshan.

Yuan Mai Xiu wrote a letter, sent an envoy to two places, and wrote a letter to his father Yuan Shao, talking about the fact that the grain and grass were robbed by Zhang Yan. However, he did not mention his mistake in his judgment, but wrote a special book on the "glorious achievements" of defeating the 10,000 people in the Dahong army. He also fought against the "Qu Commander" Dahong, and the grain and grass were robbed because Zhang Wu was not in good combat. He also expressed his achievements in providing grain and soldiers and requested that he be granted an official title.
