please make me king

Chapter 274

As the saying goes, "if you are not in charge of a family, you don't know the price of firewood and rice", "Chuangjiang" Huang Laier used to be in charge of the Xing family, but he was in charge of the outside.

Now that Mrs. Xing has passed away, Huang Lai'er is still busy outside, never caring about the affairs of the Wu'an camp.Unexpectedly, after returning here, things are different, and problems that I have not managed before have popped up one by one.

In the past, the Xing family was in charge of the camp, no matter the purchase of supplies, or the entry and exit accounts, everything was in order.Now "Chuang Jiang" inquired, only to find that one was the first and the other two were big.In their own camp, there was a shocking shortage of rice and noodles, and fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs were either insufficient or rotten, and they couldn't make up a banquet for entertaining guests for a while.

"Chuangjiang" Huang Laier was shocked when he heard the words, and hastily bid farewell to the second master "Zijinliang" and Zhang Shun and others, and took his nephew "Yihu" to check it out himself.

As a result, when they got to the warehouse, they found that there were only dozens of bags of grain piled up in one corner, and some of the bags had been gnawed by mice.Besides, fruits and vegetables are in short supply in winter, and the only ones left there are dry, and it is unknown whether they are moldy or not.Fortunately, there are still a few hams intact, barely edible.

There was no other way, so the "Chuangjiang" had to order the cook to clean up the rice noodles and cook them together for the soldiers under his command to fill their stomachs. The rest of the fruits, vegetables, and ham were picked up and used together. First, make a few dishes to deal with it. .

Then, he ordered his nephew "Yi Yi Hu" to take people down the mountain quickly, no matter stealing or abducting, quickly find some food, so that the second leader, Zhang Shun and others can eat well.

"Crossing General" Huang Lai'er worked hard for a long time before running back exhausted.It turned out that the second master "Zijin Liang" and Zhang Shun were looking at each other, staring at the food on the table.

"Chuang Jiang" hurriedly persuaded: "Eat, eat, everyone, you are welcome! When you come to Huang Lai'er's camp, it is like your own home! Everything in my camp is busy, why should you two wait for me to serve chopsticks?"

Huang Lai'er had been busy for a long time, and she was also hungry, so she prepared to eat two bites with her chopsticks after speaking.Seeing that he didn't know, Zhang Shun quickly stopped Huang Lai'er and said, "Brother Huang may not know, but just now I heard from the Second Master that there is something taboo about opening a banquet!"

"Since ancient times, good things come in pairs, not in singles. Here are three dishes, commonly known as 'decapitated dishes'. Only the beheaded person is treated like this. Let's wait for the chef to serve another dish before we start eating." !"

"Crossing General" Huang Lai'er was shocked when he heard the words, it turned out that there was such a reason.He thought carefully about his previous imprisonment, and it seemed that he had eaten similar meals before.Fortunately, the Xing family brought other rebels to rescue him at that time. This is the legendary "decapitated vegetable".

"Chuangjiang" Huang Laier heard the words repeatedly and said rudely, "Huang is ignorant, so he still talks like this." He hurriedly asked the cook to serve another dish.

The cook had no choice but to boil the ham slices in a hurry, then cut them into thin slices with a knife, lighted some sesame oil, and put them on the table as a cold dish, and everyone raised their glasses to eat and drink.

No matter whether it's good or bad, after all the people had enough to eat and drink, Huang Lai'er, the "Crossing General", breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Finally, I got away with fooling around."

As a result, before the break, the second master "Zijin Liang" said to Zhang Shun drunkenly: "This Huang Lai'er can't be considered a hero, but he is so stingy!"

"How do you say that?" Although Zhang Shun was not very satisfied with the meal, he would not go online anyway.

"This noodle is about hot and cold, with a combination of meat and vegetables, chicken, fish, meat and eggs. Today the noodle is made up of everything, and it's very good. It can be seen that I feel sorry for us to eat and drink. I will leave early tomorrow morning, so I won't bother you. This person is clean."

Hearing Zhang Shun's words, his heart is indeed the truth.He remembered that there was such a person in his previous life, who did not welcome guests to enter, so he intentionally failed to entertain them in order to drive them away.He also quickly agreed: "What the second leader said is true. I am also quite worried about the Xishan camp. I will also bid farewell tomorrow and go back to the camp to have a look."

The two of them had already discussed and decided to visit Huang Lai'er, the "Crafting General" together on the second day. They said that they had something to do today, so it would be inconvenient to stay for a long time.

"Crossing General" Huang Lai'er enthusiastically stayed with them for a long time, but when he saw that they left sincerely, he reluctantly agreed.

So the second leader "Zijinliang" went west to the camp in Licheng County, and Zhang Shun returned north to the Xishan camp in Lincheng County.

Zhang Shun traveled for two days and arrived at the Xishan camp.Zhang Shenyan, who was stationed at the camp, rushed out to greet him personally. When he saw Zhang, he said by the way: "General, a disaster has happened! Please enter the camp and discuss it in detail."

Zhang Shun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, Zhang Shenyan was a prudent person, usually he wouldn't say such words to shake the morale of the army in public.He hurried into the camp, arranged the troops under his command properly, brought his generals and staff to meet in the Chinese army tent, and asked, "Yafu, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Shenyan hurriedly told the whole story. It turned out that Cao Wenzhao, the fierce general, had defeated the rebels in Wutai, Yuxian, Shouyang and other places since he entered Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Zongheng, governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, governor of Shanxi, had returned from the capital. In order to avoid the rebels harassing the capital, Shanxi governor Xu Dingchen appointed Cao Wenzhao to be stationed in Pingding Prefecture to defend the eastern part of Taiyuan; Zhang Yingchang was stationed in Fenzhou to defend the western part of Taiyuan.Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, led his troops to garrison Taiyuan in order to support the two of them.

This Pingding Prefecture is not elsewhere, it is west of Lincheng County.Leping County under its jurisdiction borders Lincheng County.Immediately, Zhang Shun's Xishan camp became dangerous.

Zhang Shun has heard about Cao Wenzhao's reputation in later generations, but he defeated Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu, who had heard about it a little bit, Zhang Shun also felt a little swollen, so he asked: "How big is this Cao Wenzhao?" Prestige, how can it compare with Lu Xiangsheng and Zuo Liangyu?"

Zhang Shenyan was silent for a while, and said honestly: "Lu Xiangsheng is also a scholar, leading the army for the first time, I don't know how deep it is; Zuo Liangyu's flattery is just a handyman under Hou Xun's sect, how can he compare with him who has experienced hundreds of battles?"

"This man originally joined the army in Liaodong, and was promoted to a guerrilla general after accumulating meritorious service. Later, he fought against the northern captives many times and made great contributions and was promoted. When the people's change in Shaanxi was unstoppable, he was ordered to lead the Guanning army to conquer and kill the rebels. There are countless leaders. Therefore, the general must not underestimate this person because of his great reputation."

When Zhang Shun heard it, his scalp felt numb, and he quickly asked, "What do you guys think?"

The staff and generals under Zhang Shun's command suddenly talked about fighting, or defending, or avoiding, to name a few.Zhang Shun said decisively: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, and Cao Wenzhao may have gained a false reputation. Governor Zhang Zongheng of Xuanda and Shanxi Governor Xu Dingchen calculated the time, and they should return to Shanxi. If we stick to this place, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers Once it comes to attack, I will be powerless to resist."

"It's better for me to abandon this camp, return to Shanxi, and continue to cooperate with the second master 'Zijinliang', so that everyone can take care of them."
