Rogue master in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 115 Dog and Master
Chapter 115 Dog and Master
Under the gray sky, Luoyang is like a gray monster quietly dormant on the plain.
The water of the Yellow River around the west of the city continued to flow into the distance. Because of the barrier of mountains, the terrain suddenly changed, and the water of the Yellow River suddenly changed its direction and went north.More than a decade ago, this place was still lush with green trees, but after the chaos broke out, the rebel army cut down all the trees on the mountain, and the trees in the mountain became less colorful, revealing ugly sand and dust, and the streams and springs were completely dried up.The mulberry trees in the farmland are withered, the grains are not harvested, and there are countless refugees.
Millions of refugees left their homes and moved to Luoyang, the only city within a hundred miles that could accommodate a large number of refugees.
But today, the gates of Luoyang City are closed and the whole city is on alert.It wasn't that Cao's army attacked the city, but that the surrounding area under the city wall was crowded with countless refugees trying to enter the city.There were wailing at the foot of the city wall, the refugees charged at the city gate, and some even tried to climb over the wall, but the wall was so high and the gate was strong, it was like a moat to these helpless refugees, and it was insurmountable.What's more, the ferocious archers in the city kept shooting and killing the refugees who tried to climb up the wall. For a while, countless corpses filled with arrow feathers fell under the city wall. to refugees already driven mad by hunger.
In the west corner of Luoyang City, there is a newly built luxury mansion.There are two fierce and mighty stone lions outside the gate of the mansion, and eight guards with swords guard the gate.
Suddenly, the sound of horseshoes sounded on the street in front of the main entrance of the mansion. The eight guards looked up at the same time. After seeing the person coming, a guard immediately went up to meet him. Bowling and taking the rope, the rest of the people also saluted.
"I met Deputy General Ma."
The full name of this Deputy General Ma is Ma Ru, and he is one of the capable generals under Guo Si's command.Before Duan Yan died at the hands of Chen Wei, he was appointed by Guo Si as the General of the Guard and the Supervisor of Food and Grass.Compared with Duan Yan's bravery, Ma Ru lacks in arm strength, but has more than resourcefulness.This is why Guo Bang is willing to hand over such crucial things as food and grass to Ma Ru.
But after Duan Yan's death, Guo Si had to transfer Ma Ru from the rear to his side in order to deal with the gradually increasing oppression of Cao Jun.And Ma Ru is obviously more capable than Duan Yan. Not only did the tasks entrusted to him by Guo Si be completed rigorously, but he even took the initiative to invite Guo Si to assign him work.
With such capable subordinates, Guo Bang, as a general, is naturally much more relaxed.
"Is the general in the mansion?" Ma Ru asked the guard before dismounting.
Although Ma Ru is short and thin, his eyes are bright and his face is square, giving him a very serious feeling.
The guard didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly responded: "Return to the deputy general, the general is in Xiyuan."
After hearing this, Ma Ru didn't hesitate, and strode into the mansion with big strides.
Entering the mansion and bypassing a terrace building, there are chaoshou verandahs on both sides, and a hall in the middle, where there is a large screen with red sandalwood shelves and marble.Turning around the screen, there are three small halls, and behind the halls is the main courtyard behind.Guo Si was not in the Main Courtyard, but in Xiyuan, obviously he hadn't woken up yet.
Go through Zhengda Courtyard and turn left to Xiyuan.
Xiyuan rockery pavilion, several courtyards are scattered among them.In one of the most spacious rooms, the light is dim, and the veils are hanging down, creating a hazy atmosphere. The surrounding stone walls are all covered with brocade, and even the roof is separated by embroidered felt. Luxurious, exquisitely carved jade-inlaid gums, brocade embroidered quilts, and small sachets hanging on the curtain hooks, exuding a faint fragrance.
Inside the bead curtain, there suddenly appeared a scene of a heart-wrenching spring room.
Just as Guo Si closed his eyes to enjoy, suddenly there were footsteps outside the room.
"The last general, Ma Ru, pays homage to the great general!" A voice came from outside the door.
The beautiful woman paused when she heard the person outside the door.
Guo Si didn't care, stretched out his hand to grab the head buried under his belly, pressed it up and down rhythmically, and then lazily said to the outside: "Say!"
Ma Ru, who was kneeling outside the door, stood up, leaning against the crack of the door and said, "General, there is news from Yongning County."
"Tell me some good news for this general." Guo Si's thick voice sounded from the room, accompanied by panting.
Ma Ru outside the door showed a look of embarrassment, and said after a while: "General, Chen Wei has established a foothold in Yongning County, and his power has developed quite rapidly."
"It's just a small Yongning County. Even if that guy has three heads and six arms, how can he make any troubles?" Guo Bang's indifferent voice came from the room.
"But...according to reports from the scouts, Chen Wei has recently been recruiting heavily, and it seems that there are quite a few of them..."
"Where did he get the money?" The movement in the room seemed a little quieter.
"I heard that he confiscated all the property of the big landlords in Yongning County on the charge of colluding with horse thieves, and implemented a new tax system, which made a big commotion. I specially sent people to sneak into Yongning County pretending to be refugees. At that time, Yongning County had far more military and financial resources than before, and I heard that the military strength reached tens of thousands!" After thinking for a while, Ma Ru slightly exaggerated the number of military strength.
Sure enough, the panting and shouting in the room stopped immediately, and after a while, the door opened with a bang, and Guo Bang walked out with a blank expression.
Ma Ru took two steps back, glanced at the woman in the room who was getting dressed, then bowed slightly respectfully, and said, "General."
With his hands behind his back, Guo Si walked to the courtyard outside the house, and asked Ma Ru behind his back, "The little Yongning County can support [-] soldiers?"
"Although it's not an exact number, it's not too far off." Ma Ru replied, following Guo Si carefully.
Guo Si stopped under a pavilion by the lake, and then slowly came back to his senses, facing Ma Ru with a restrained evil face, he asked lightly, "I didn't expect that I would let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
"The general said that although Chen Wei has ten thousand soldiers, they are all recruiting some refugees and pawns, so they can't make a fortune." Ma Ru said, "Compared with you, general, Chen Wei is not a tiger, at most he can only be considered a tiger. dog..."
The corners of Guo Bang's mouth turned up coldly, and he said, "Even so, when a dog has ambition, its teeth will bite its master... But Cao Cao is in front, a tiger is not afraid of a dog's teeth, but he is also afraid that it will bite a tiger's tail..."
When Ma Ru saw Guo Bang's gaze on him, he immediately understood what Guo Bang wanted to hear from him.If a high-ranking person wants to stand tall, in addition to his own foresight, he has to accept the opinions of others, and Guo Si can rank high as a general because he has the heart of accepting others, and the wise men are naturally willing to submit.And if the counselor wants to be reused and favored by the lord, he must also show his usefulness.He, Ma Ru, was able to be appreciated by Guo Si, and was immediately promoted to lieutenant general after Duan Wei's death, relying on Guo Si's ability to submit a satisfactory answer to Guo Si every time he needed to make suggestions.
So before Ma Ru came to see Guo Bang, he had already thought of the answer to this question.
"Although this dog is ambitious, there is still a big gap in power compared with its master. After all, he dare not not listen to his master's words."
"Although this dog eats meat and is popular in Yongning County, and wants to make itself fat, but as long as the owner says a word, it will eventually have to spit out all the bones in its stomach..."
"As long as the general orders the counties around Luoyang to hand over [-] stones of grain and [-] soldiers because Luoyang lacks food, grass and soldiers, the problem of dogs bullying their masters can be solved without bloodshed."
"Once it resists the order, the general will be famous. Finally, the three thousand armored soldiers will go south, and the group of mad dogs in Yongning County will be wiped out."
……
After Guo Bang listened, a smile finally appeared on his cold and serious face, and he said lightly: "Just do as you said."
