Wuhu Mingyue

In the afternoon, December 311, 22 AD, Hanzhong County, on the road from Liangzhou City to Chenggu County

"Rest! All rest! General Zhang has an order! All soldiers rest on the spot!"

Zhang Yuan glared angrily at Jin Miao, who was gesticulating in front of him, and even issued military orders in his name.

"Jin joins the army! What's going on?! Why do we have to rest again?! How many times have we rested from this morning to now?! There are all kinds of messy reasons! Look at the virtues of these things, This battle hasn’t even been fought yet, and everyone is already too lazy, if we are ambushed by thieves, all of us will be finished!”

Jin Miao frowned with a livid face. He really didn't expect Zhang Yuanhui to insult him in public like this, and he didn't intend to save any face for him.

But Zhang Yuan was obviously full of anger, so he still blamed him without hesitation: "Hmph! Jin joined the army because he was cowardly, right?! If that's the case, stop commanding blindly!"

The corners of Jin Miao's eyes twitched a few times unconsciously, and he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. If it wasn't for Zhang Guang's sake, especially before he left, Zhang Guang had said all kinds of good things to him. He is absolutely unwilling to come out and suffer this crime with Zhang Yuan himself.

But now that it has come out, there are too many of Zhang Guang's confidants in the army, not to mention killing Zhang Yuan, even his life may already be in the hands of that old Zhang Guang up

Jin Miao had no choice but to squeeze out a smile, pretending to be pleasing to the eye, then lowered his voice as much as possible, approached Zhang Yuan, and patiently explained slowly: "Meng Chang, Meng Chang, Cheng Gu The county has long been dilapidated, not only has it been looted by Lu Shuihu a few times, but also experienced a few riots recently, what's the point of us rushing there?!"

"As long as you win Chenggu, you can push for gold, and even cut off the way for thieves to attack Liangzhou City!"

"But as far as I know, the bandits have always thought that we only dare to hide in Liangzhou City, so they didn't deploy heavy troops in Chenggu, so as soon as our army arrives, they will definitely be scared to abandon the city and run away."

"Would it be too easy for Jin to join the army?! Those thieves are powerful, we have all experienced it before!"

"It is because they feel that we are vulnerable, so they leave Chenggu to plunder everywhere, but if we are eager to take down Chenggu, it will definitely backfire, forcing those thieves to regroup and fight back against us. At that time, we These people will bear the brunt of the crazy counterattack of those thieves."

"Is Jin's joining the army alarmist?! You have forgotten that we still have the help of the Guanzhong coalition army. I am afraid that those bandits have already fought inextricably with the Guanzhong coalition army. How can they have the strength to fight back against us?!"

"My lord is too optimistic. How many coalition forces can be photographed in Hanzhong this time?! And they are not familiar with the terrain of the counties in Hanzhong. Once they fight with the bandits, they will definitely lose a lot. How can we completely count on it? where are they?!"

"What do you mean, once we capture Chenggu, the thieves will join forces to attack us first?!"

"We are the main force in Liangzhou. Of course the thieves will want to counterattack us. After all, Chenggu County is an important town."

""

"So we might as well march slowly, and let the coalition forces and bandits consume each other well, so that we will have something to explain to the commander in the future."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help frowning, he couldn't understand what Jin Miao was talking about

"What does Jin join the army mean?! Could it be that we have to sit idly by?! They are fighting bloody battles for the people of Liangzhou!"

"Hey, if they don't fight with the bandits, they will lose both. How can we reap the benefits of the fisherman, and how can we explain to the commander and the people of the world?!"

Zhang Yuan glared furiously at Jin Miao, who seemed to be persuasive, and couldn't help scolding in a low voice: "You are simply talking nonsense!"

"Meng Chang! Our Liangzhou's face has long been lost by Marshal Jia. If the soldiers of the coalition army can easily quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, the eldest son thinks that Jia Yandu can still let the old governor Continue to sit in Liangzhou?!"

Zhang Yuan's expression tightened immediately, and even the eyes that looked at Jin Miao turned pale in an instant

Jin Miao looked around for a while, until he confirmed that there was no suspicious person in Zhou, and then continued to persuade him earnestly: "Meng Chang, that's why the old governor must let me, Jin Miao, come to accompany the eldest son on the expedition. , some things cannot be said in Liangzhou City, there are too many eyes and ears there."

Zhang Yuan squeezed out a smile in embarrassment. He really didn't expect Jin Miao to be so worried about their father and son, and even planned for a rainy day.

But before he not only suspected that Jin Miao had ulterior motives, but even forced his father Zhang Guang to seek help from Jia Yandu as soon as possible. Now it seems that he is extremely stupid

"My lord, do you understand the painstaking efforts of the old governor now?! Although the thieves rioted and the people were slaughtered, as long as they can't find anything, they will naturally go elsewhere like locusts. At that time, we will come out to appease the people. Wouldn't everyone be happy to help resume production?!"

Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded listening to these appalling words, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Father asked you to tell me these?!"

Jin Miao blinked his eyes a few times, then immediately nodded solemnly and said: "These are the secret ways of being an official. Although they seem unreasonable, they are actually old-fashioned. They all did this, otherwise where would there be so many rogues?!"

""

"My lord, please think again. Jia Yandu's ambitions are not limited to Chang'an. He wants to take the entire Guanzhong into his pocket. Once his men and horses pacify the bandits, they will definitely seize control of Liangzhou immediately." Quan, at that time, what will be the end of the eldest son?!"

"Does he still want to kill me?!"

"The old governor has always won the hearts of the people in Liangzhou. If the eldest son and the other sons are alive and well, how can Jia Yandu feel at ease, and how can he arrange for his confidants to come?!"

"Then what will he do?!"

"Jia Yandu has always been cunning and cunning, and is used to pretending to be hypocritical. Based on Jin Miao's understanding of him, this person will definitely report to the court, and then add officials to the old governor and the eldest son, and then start coaxing you to leave Liangzhou. moved elsewhere”

"Then he asked someone to pretend to be a robber and rob and kill our father and son on the way?!"

Jin Miao nodded meaningfully, and looked at Zhang Yuan, who was gradually panicking (to be continued)
