One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Five: Cutting Huangsong, Dongqing 1 Tong (17)
Yuan Xin was confused and lost, so he had to pinch his nose to hire the temporary worker in front of him.
"What's your name? Where is your hometown? Who is there in the family?"
Although it is only a temporary worker, it is still considered a half-full member, and some backgrounds need to be investigated.
That person's accent doesn't sound like Dongqing's. It's like Wu Nong's soft language from the land of water and rice. The rhyme of his speech is inexplicably gentle.
It's easy to think that the other party is a gentle and good-tempered gentleman just by listening to the voice.
However, Yuan Xin does not believe that this man is a good man. According to his observation, the scholar in front of him has killed more than one person!
The man clasped his hands and said, "Student Hua Yuan, whose ancestral home is Nansheng Ningzhou, has no relatives at home."
Nansheng Ningzhou?
Yuan Xin's nerves tensed instantly, his tiger eyes seemed to be frighteningly bright, and he looked at Hua Yuan with unkind eyes.
"Nansheng people? You don't stay in Nansheng, why did you come to Dongqing to ask for a living?" Yuan Xin did not regret hiring temporary workers. He is arrogant and conceited. The surname Hua is quite rare."
Hua Yuan didn't mind Yuan Xin's difficulties and doubts, "The Nanman is still raging, and the students fled to Dongqing just to find a way out."
Yuan Xin was surprised, "The situation in Nansheng hasn't settled yet?"
Hua Yuan said, "The Nanman is powerful. Before the students left, they heard that An Jing and Yang Tao jointly invited the Nansheng princes to form an alliance to discuss the matter of attacking the Nanman. I don't know how it will end. Regardless of the outcome, the disaster of the Nanman cannot be resolved in three to five days. Students have to find another way out."
After hearing this, Yuan Xin felt sad and sighed.
The southern barbarians and the northern borders are known as the two major alien cancers, and they have been coveting the vast land of the five kingdoms of the Central Plains. Dongqing escaped from the murderous hands of the northern borders, but Nansheng was harmed by the southern barbarians early on. He also knows the means of alien races, the cruelty is like uncivilized beasts, appalling.
It is understandable that Huayuan went to Dongqing to survive.
Yuan Xin simply tested Hua Yuan's talent and learning. He didn't know how Hua Yuan was compared to Nie Xun and others, but it was indeed good.
That's the deal with the temporary workers, and Yuan Xin also ordered someone to prepare a rich dinner for Hua Yuan.
Even though Hua Yuan's body is a little thin, but his appetite is not small. One person ate food for three people, and the way he ate was voracious, making people deeply doubt whether this guy has never eaten delicious food in his life. meal--
Hua Yuan was full after eating, "Students have been fed only by cold water for several days. They are really hungry. Please forgive me if there is any indecency."
Yuan Xin couldn't get angry, after all, Hua Yuan's performance proved what he said was true, he ate cleanly, not a single grain of rice wasted.
After eating and drinking enough, Yuan Xin mentioned to Hua Yuan the problems he had been worrying about these days.
Hua Yuan said, "Students have been fleeing for the past few days, but they have heard about Liu Xi's soldiers and horses making trouble in Chenzhou."
Yuan Xin gritted his teeth with hatred, and said angrily, "They deceive people too much."
Thinking of the tens of thousands of soldiers who had sacrificed before, he was still bleeding from distress, wishing he could run to fight Jiang Pengji.
Hua Yuan asked in surprise, "I heard that the enemy brought 70,000 to 80,000 troops?"
Yuan Xin corrected angrily, "At most 50,000."
Hua Yuan said, "With 50,000 soldiers and horses, the army consumes five hundred stones of food a day. How much food can they bring with them?"
The original letter said, "Support war with war, and plunder Chenzhou grain depot to replenish yourself."
Hua Yuan said, "Since the enemy has used the method of supporting war with war, why didn't the general implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, so that they have no food to take?"
After Yuan Xin heard this, he choked hard. It's not that he didn't know about the strong wall and the clear field. He just thought that he could defeat the enemy head-on, and he didn't need to make unnecessary small moves. Fortifying the wall and clearing the field is a way to kill a thousand enemies and harm eight hundred. He doesn't want to use it as a last resort——
In fact, Nie Xun mentioned it to him several times, but Yuan Xin felt that Nie Xun's blocking him from fighting the enemy head-on was a denial of his strength, so Yuan Xin didn't listen to it at all. Now that he has suffered a big loss, Yuan Xin knows he has caused trouble, so he will naturally find a way to make up for it.
He endured patience and asked Hua Yuan,
"The thieves have already plundered most of Chenzhou, is it still useful to fortify the walls and clear the country?"
"Of course it is useful! The enemy army has 50,000 soldiers and horses, food consumption is a huge problem, why doesn't the general set up a trap to lure the thieves into Chenzhou, take the opportunity to cut off the way back, and be trapped for several days?" Hua Yuan said, "If not In this way, they will follow the same pattern and go to Haozhou to make a fuss—”
When Yuan Xin heard this, his entire face turned black.
If Haozhou is also harmed, without the lord Huang Song's order to hold him accountable, Yuan Xin himself would commit suicide to apologize.
If Jiang Pengji hadn't been so rational and decisive, if she had been a little bit greedy and reluctant to part with the results of the battle, maybe she would have been tricked.
The more greedy people are, the more adventurous they are. This kind of mentality is similar to that of gamblers, who love to use small things to make big gains.
If the bet is correct, turn over immediately.
If you make a wrong bet, you will lose even your crotch.
According to Hua Yuan's suggestion, Yuan Xin transported away the grain stored in each grain depot, luring Jiang Pengji to chase after him, and at the same time paying close attention to the movement of the army.
However, Jiang Pengji is not a good person, and she will not be as greedy as Yuan Xin.
Withdraw as soon as you say, without mercy.
After all, Hua Yuan is a temporary worker, and Yuan Xin doesn't trust him 100% either. He is not qualified to touch many things.
The somewhat leisurely Hua Yuan listened to the gossip.
For example, the various pasts of Yuan Xin, and the grievances and hatreds of Nie Xun, the unlucky guy before the temporary job he applied for.
"The general really killed Army Master Nie before the battle?"
Hua Yuan asked with a smile, not at all worried that she would follow in Nie Xun's footsteps.
The soldier said, "I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him, the military division is still alive, but I heard from the military doctor that the military division is seriously ill, and it's been half a month."
Hua Yuan said, "I spent two days with the general, and I feel that the general is not a difficult person to get along with. Why is his relationship with the military adviser so bad?"
How did he know?
The soldier sighed, "Our general is good everywhere, but he has a bad temper. Brother, you took the position of military adviser, so be careful."
Nie Xun was almost hacked to death by Yuan Xin, military division is really a high-risk profession.
Hua Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he was clear.
He is different from Nie Xun. Nie Xun is a serious colleague of Yuanxin. He is just a temporary worker for a meal and does not need to do his best.
"Where is the military division recuperating now? I want to visit."
Although Hua Yuan is a temporary worker, he also has certain authority, and Nie Xun will naturally not be blocked.
Nie Xun has survived the dangerous period at this moment, and he still looks very thin, but he is conscious, and he will recover if he takes good care of his wounds.
Hearing that someone was visiting him, and he was still a stranger, Nie Xun raised his eyebrows and allowed him to come in with a cold expression.
Hua Yuan said to come and see Nie Xun, but it was really just a look, and the two just looked at each other, and there was no other communication.
until—
"I heard that the military master wrote a letter asking his wife and daughter to go to the Yue family?"
Nie Xun, who was lying motionless, did not move his eyelids, his eyes turned away, and his pupils were filled with indifference.
"At that time Xun's life was in danger, and he didn't know if he would survive, so he could only prepare for the worst and settle his wife and daughter first."
Huayuan smiled meaningfully.
"Students are very impressed."
