Chapter 62 Buy some wood
Early in the morning, Chen Qun rode his horse to the river bank with concern.
This time he did not bring a guard, and he even had his most trusted personal follower. From his crooked hat, he was extremely anxious when he went out, and he didn't even comb his hair well, without any slight respect for his noble demeanor.
When Cao's army saw him, they bowed and bowed one after another. Chen Qun waved his hand and asked them to wail the gifts.
"Where is Yunshan who came to deliver food yesterday?" He pulled a soldier and asked anxiously.
The soldier inexplicably pointed to the distance. Chen Qun followed his gaze and saw Yunshan holding a long sword in his hand and was dismantling and practicing the method of water fighting with the soldiers.
Although Yunshan was young, his martial arts were extremely solid. He patiently taught the soldiers on the boat, and did not avoid watching other soldiers. The scene was quite lively.
Chen Qun breathed a sigh of relief, hurried over and sent someone to call Yunshan over.
After a while, Guan Ping hurried over, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with a linen cloth, and bowed solemnly.
Chen Qun quickly helped him up and whispered:
"What did you do last night?"
Guan Ping said frankly:
"I went to see Mr. Ji Chang last night with him."
"Does Kuai Yue?"
Seeing Guan Ping nodding, the big stone in Chen Qun's heart finally landed.
He received news today that the person who took Fu Xun away yesterday entered Fu Xun's family under the name of joining the Prime Minister's Office, and then quickly killed the guards sent by Cao Cao.
You should know that there are only two soldiers in the Prime Minister's Mansion, one is Fu Xun and the other is Chen Qun...
Regardless of whether Fu Xun left voluntarily or not, if he could cooperate with Guan Ping in this way, he would definitely tell Jiangling's defense in the future.
Cao Cao was extremely angry and believed that the senior military leaders had problems and were now investigating quickly. Chen Qun had been with Liu Bei for a long time before, but this happened again this time. With Cao Cao's suspicious nature, even if he didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely feel very unhappy.
It would be easy to say if Kuai Yue testified.
Hiss, but Fu Xun can defect, and Kuai Yue is hard to say.
Chen Qun hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"If anyone asks me again, I will say that I ordered you to intercept Guan Ping last night, but Guan Ping has many soldiers and generals, and... Zhou Yu led the navy to come in person, so he returned without success."
"Ah..." Guan Ping was stunned on the spot, "Is this possible?"
"Why can't it work?" Chen Qun said with a face, "Don't worry, I have my own opinions on the rest of the matter - I am polite you, may you not listen to me?"
"I dare not be humble!"
"Then tell me, I met Kuai Yue last night, what did you do?"
Guan Ping said righteously: "Last night, I parted with Kuai Gong and returned to the camp. I heard that Guan Ping was in chaos, so I led my subordinates to chase him. I only regretted that Guan Ping had many soldiers and that there were reinforcements in Jiangdong called himself Zhou Yu. We couldn't resist it, so we watched Guan Ping run away.
Chen Zongjun came to personally dispatch us to kill the thieves last night. Did he forget to join the army?"
Chen Qun nodded with satisfaction:
"Okay, that's it. You worked hard last night, and your soldiers were injured a lot. Well, I'll ask someone to give you some pensions and let your children... well, all, all..."
It can be seen that Chen Qun wanted Guan Ping to give his subordinates a wish. Guan Ping nodded slowly to show that he understood what he meant. Chen Qun also said that Guan Ping was quite nice. The two looked at each other and smiled, like a friend who had been making a lot of friends for many years.
After Guan Ping saw Fu Xun away at night, he naturally turned around and returned to Jiangling.
He finally found out the identity of the general of Cao's army, Yun Shan, and his character was almost added. How could he reveal his identity in order to kidnap Fu Xun?
Everyone can testify that the Han general Guan Ping took Fu Xun yesterday, what does it have to do with the Cao army's general Yunshan?
Cai Mao was so bragging that he said that in Jingzhou, God had to call him God, and Guan Ping's uncle could not be vain, so he had to let Cai Mao share some pressure.
Besides, Cai Mao’s money has not been received yet.
As if he was worried that Guan Ping would sell him, Cai Mao quickly sent Guan Ping the money to buy food at noon.
A whole ship of money was sent to Guan Ping, and the seductive copper color made Guan Ping look quite moved.
The veteran who came to deliver the money smiled and said, "Boy, everyone else wants food. Why do you make so much Wuzhu money?"
Guan Ping said humbly:
"Boy Meng Lang made the elder laugh."
"I just wanted to know why.
Even if you want to buy something, just use grain to buy it. This copper coin is not easy to carry."
He picked up a copper coin from the boat and weighed it in his hand: "This thing is usually good. It is not suitable for carrying it on your body during the marching and war. If it falls off, it will be too distressing."
Guan Ping smiled and said:
"Too."
Seeing that Guan Ping didn't want to tell him why, the old man frowned unhappily:
"Why are you so unhappy? Are you still afraid that I will steal your good things?"
Guan Ping smiled without saying a word, and he changed the topic:
"I haven't asked the elder's name yet."
"I can't say that my name is famous. I, Huang Zhong, whose courtesy name is Hansheng, was an old man from Jingzhou. I was insulted by the little Guan Gongzun."
Huang Zhong?!
When Guan Ping got the "historical book" of the Japanese before, he slowly searched according to the part where Guan Yu appeared. He vaguely remembered that Huang Zhong had a certain connection with his father. This person... seemed to be a general in our army in the future.
Guan Ping was a little confused for a moment and didn't know how to recruit this person, but Huang Zhong lowered his head mysteriously:
"I heard of one thing."
"Well."
"Mr. Cao is going to march. You are good at water wars, and you are not Degui's subordinate. This opportunity to make contributions is here."
"Where is Uncle Huang?"
"Hahaha, what do you have to do with me? I beat Cao Hong before, but now everyone in the Cao family wants my life. I have already made an errand to go to Xiangyang to do business."
He stretched out his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and patted Guan Ping on the shoulder, "Full it, we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."
·
Guan Ping received the money and went straight to the Cao army's riverside camp to stroll around.
With Chen Qun as a protector, he was not subject to investigation. Looking at the aggrieved and unwilling look of a group of Cao army soldiers, Guan Ping was a little moved and switched to the strong Northern Dialect, and started talking to the soldiers.
To be honest, the Cao army's military soldiers were really miserable, just like serfs. They wore the most torn clothes and could only stuff some straw into their clothes to keep warm in the cold wind, not to mention any extra money.
Before, Guan Ping sold grain, and they wanted to buy it, but because they were short of money, they could only watch it - they couldn't buy food with food.
When Guan Ping talked with them, he said that there was still food to be sold recently. These people looked expectant and then felt quite sad.
"Hey, what does noble people have to do with us? I just hope that this battle can be finished early and let us go home to farm."
Guan Ping smiled and said:
"I have the money, how about buying some wood from you?"
"Mu?" Several soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, and were all a little surprised.
"Do you use money?"
"right."
“Can you buy it with cloth?”
"No, no, I only use money to buy it. You can buy food in the future."
Although I don’t know why Shangguan did this kind of thing, taking off his pants and farting, several soldiers still gritted their teeth:
Chapter completed!
