Chapter 378

Qin mubai returned to the post, not in a hurry to rest. Bai Qi's pawn called hot water to wash his feet, while he was holding a Book of Liangcheng local chronicles, reading douhuang's youdou casually to get a general understanding of the local customs and historical evolution.

"Young Marshal is so attentive. No wonder he's the best man." The pawn who washed his feet said coldly, "people of this generation, like me, only think about going to the willows in the fireworks lane to have fun and get rich when they have to deal with their work. How can they still study at night like the young commander?"

Qin mubai couldn't help but feel happy and said with a smile: "you can flatter local records. Your Kung Fu is better than mine. Everyone has his own strong points. "

The pawn nodded his head thoughtfully and said, "what did the young commander like about hou Junji? I think that guy is very old. Even if he has some ability, he is also a bad temper. These people are not good hosts anywhere

"Oh, you have a lot of insight." Qin mubai laughed.

"It was." The pawn laughed and said, "even if it's a stubborn iron, I have to open my mind after following the young commander for a long time. Young commander, I'm afraid you don't know how people outside legend you, do you? You are a rare genius in a hundred years. You are both literate and martial arts. You are well-trained. You are favored by heaven everywhere. Even the woman who gives you her heart is the best in the world. I don't know how many people envy you. "

"Do you have one?" Qin Mu Bai didn't care.

"Of course there is!" The pawn said solemnly, "not a few! ——However, they only saw the scenery of the young commander. Did not see the young commander's hard work and efforts. I would say that this man has his own destiny, but how to grasp it depends on himself. The birth of a young general is a great one, but it's much better than your birth. You don't see the second young general Qin in the Tang Dynasty, do you? "

"Ha ha!" Qin mubai laughed and said, "OK. I have to learn a lot from you about this flattery. "

"Hey, hey!"

After washing his feet, the pawn left with the basin. Qin mubai sat on the couch, moved the oil lamp to the head of the bed, and was ready to read for a while.

At this time, outside the door came a string of broken footsteps. Qin mubai's martial arts practitioner, Mu Ming Er Cong, listened to this with sincerity, but he was suspicious: This footstep sounds familiar, and it's definitely not the sergeant beside me - how can a man's foot make such a slight sound?

In his heart, Qin Mu Bai suddenly turned over in surprise, but carefully lightened his steps and movements. He crept to the door.

The door was knocked.

Qin mubai didn't agree.

At this time, a female voice rang out of the door: "eh, didn't you say that your general was just washing and sleeping so soon?"

"If you don't know, girl, please help yourself." The voice of the reply was far away. Obviously, the pawn was very "witty" and didn't follow him.

Qin mubai is in full bloom!

The person outside the door is not Wu Meiniang - who else can it be?

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow without disturbing him."

Qin mubai is in a hurry.

I wanted to hide behind the door to scare her, but I didn't think she was going.

So he turned and opened the door -- "Meiniang, I didn't sleep!"

Wu Meiniang stood in front of the door with her elbows in her hands. She was not half surprised or frightened. Her face was full of "as expected" expression. She said with a smile: "why, do you want to scare me in the middle of the night?"

"Come on in!"

Qin mubai was not polite to her. He grabbed her by the wrist, dragged her into the room and closed the door.

"Ah, you hurt me Woo, don't do that!... "

Wu Meiniang had lost her voice, and her mouth seemed to be blocked by something.

After a long time.

Wu Meiniang managed to get out of Qin mubai's arms. Her hair was disordered and she was panting. She wiped her sweat in a flurried way and complained: "bad guy It's important for people to come to you, but you just want to be devious, not serious! "

"Cough!..." Which of the things we did just now is not "important business" Qin Mu Bai had a bad smile and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He managed to restrain her anger. He poured her a cup of tea and helped her to sit down. Wen Yan whispered: "I'm driving to Lanzhou in the middle of the night and I'm here for you. There must be something important. Come on, what is it? When did you arrive in Lanzhou? Did jiangxiawang and sulie come with you to Lanzhou? "

"So many questions, which one should I answer first?" After a sip of tea, Wu Meiniang still gasped and turned Qin mubai's eyes, which seemed to be a little resentful. But her eyes were full of smoke, and her love and desire were confused, which made Qin mubai's mind more and more agitated.

"Tell me what you want Qin mubai, who was not in his mind, could not help holding her catkin hand in his palm and rubbing her robe.

"The grain transport team was caught in a storm 170 miles west of Lanzhou. It also had debris flow and strong wind and sand. It couldn't walk any more." Wu Meiniang's expression was grim, and she said, "there are more than ten thousand people detained there. Every day, people eat horses and chew horses, which consumes a lot. What's more, people are in a panic. Tired and homesick people are clamoring to throw down food and grass and go back to Guanzhong. They even want to snatch people away. I'm a bit out of the scene. I'm afraid that it won't be long before these grains and grasses are transported to Lanzhou. ""And such things?" Qin Mu twisted his eyebrows and said, "isn't there the king of Jiangxia, Su lie and 3000 iron armor who are going the same way with you? Why don't they give you a hand? "

Wu Meiniang said with a bitter smile: "mubai, are you really confused or fake confused? You arranged for me to go with them However, I am a businessman, they are royal family, are dignitaries. Just because you don't mind doesn't mean other people don't mind. Well, even if they really don't mind, I can't salivate this face. Do I really go out with them? Moreover, the king of Jiangxia came to Chang'an with Princess Wencheng to discuss the issue of giving marriage. It was the envoy of the state. How could he walk with a large number of smoky folk men? "

Qin mubai was stunned and said with guilt: "I'm sorry, I'm not thoughtful Are you the only one to escort the food and grass along the way

"And a few of my confidants, servants and maids

"It's hard for you." Qin mubai clenched her hand, gritted her teeth, walked to the door, and said, "come on

"What's your order, young commander?" Soon someone came to answer the question.

"Hold my seal, and rush to Lanzhou in the starry night. Order the governor Xiao Liang to dispatch the soldiers of Yi family to meet the food and grass 170 miles to the east of Lanzhou as soon as possible. No mistake!"

"No!" The pawn turned and left.

"Wait!" Wu Meiniang suddenly came out and stopped the pawn. She turned around and said to Qin mubai, "no, I have to go back with him immediately. Otherwise, those people will only recognize me, not Xiao Liang and the army in Lanzhou. If there is a riot or panic, it will be even worse. "

"You don't have to work so hard. My people can understand this little thing. " Qin mubai won't let her go.

"Mubai." Wu Meiniang covered his hand, looked up at him and said softly, "we still have time, don't we?"

Qin mubai was so hot that he held her hand with pity and guilt, and said, "it's not too late to rest for a night."

"The three armed forces did not move food and grass first. This is the lifeblood of Lanzhou, and it is the heart of Wuzhao. The overall situation is the most important thing. Why do you feel tired? ——You don't have to say that you will go with me. You have your business. I'll take care of such trifles. " Wu Meiniang smiles, purses her mouth, nods, and says, "it's only a few days to and fro, and then I'll see you in Lanzhou."

After that, Wu Meiniang left without hesitation.

Qin mubai is as good as he lost.

Come fast, go fast. Wu Meiniang's fiery and resolute style is better than men's.

In comparison, Qin mubai was even ashamed. Because just now, he incomparably hoped that Wu Meiniang could stay and do well what they had just "not finished" in the room. But what Wu Meiniang had in her heart was only the grain.

Perhaps in her opinion, it was more than just a batch of grain and supplies.

Now Wu Meiniang is very rich. It's only three hundred thousand stone grain and grass. Even if all the chickens are beaten, she can't afford it. She can't touch his heart. Although she is a business woman, she is not a miser who cherishes money like her life.

"This is the lifeblood of Lanzhou, is my Wu Zhao's heart", is a promise, a wish.

The heart is connected with the pulse. If a woman is like this, what do you want?

Qin mubai couldn't sleep well that night. I don't know how to stay up until dawn, Xue wanche came to invite them to the barracks to supervise the relocation.

"The rain stopped today, but the road is very muddy and the progress is not fast." Xue wanche frowned and said, "I already know the priority of things. I don't dare to neglect it. Why don't you leave the matter here to your humble position. How about returning to Lanzhou as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation

"Why did you rush me away?" Qin mubai said with a smile, "this is not the way to treat guests!"

"Cough, cough!..." Xue wanche coughed awkwardly and said with a warm smile, "young commander, isn't there something else important?"

Knowing that he was referring to Wu Meiniang's visit, Qin mubai said with a smile, "the most important thing in Lanzhou is the change of defense in Liangzhou. As for my private affairs, I can take care of anything. "

Xue wanche blinked and said in a stealthy voice: "how People. Come and go at night? Is there a place where you need to be humble? "

"You ask too much." Qin mubai said with a smile, "if I want to get married, can you help me?"

"Ah? Ha ha Xue wanche was dumbfounded and said, "I'm sorry for my humble job Well, Hou Junji still didn't return to the government. "

Qin Mu nodded. "Let him go. Don't worry about him, as long as he doesn't do anything out of line. "

Xue wanche answered the promise and asked, "why do you cling to him, young commander? Yes, he is capable and talented, but he is too surly and wild to be tamed. At present, there are a lot of talented people in Lanzhou. The young marshals are gathering. Why is there a Hou Junji? Moreover, from the experience of being a humble officer and leading the army, a wild and unruly horse was added in vain among a group of good tame horses. It could also have a very bad impact. "

"I know what you mean. You're afraid that even if Hou Junji agrees to join us, it's really hard to control and will bring bad consequences, right?" Qin mubai laughed and said, "the sea admits all rivers, and tolerance is great. We Qin mubai want to manage and repair thousands of territory, and command the people's army. If we can't hold even one Hou Junji in our heart, how can we accommodate others Hou Junji. His shortcomings are as outstanding as his merits. If we can develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, his role will be immeasurable. ""But I think he's so ridiculous that he's broken his heart." Xue wanche said, "such a person, even if he has the ability, I'm afraid it's useless."

"Hehe, you are wrong." Qin mubai said with a smile, "the more he is like this, the more he shows that he is not willing to be unconvinced. There's ambition in the heart, there's ambition. "

"Well?" Xue wanche was surprised, "why didn't I see it? I think he's just desperate. Every day counts as a day. "

Qin mubai didn't answer immediately. He was silent for a moment and said, "my father was just like him a few years ago. I'm not in good health. I have a bad temper every day. It's different from the heroes in the past. But now, needless to say, you know. "

"So?" Xue wanche blinked his eyes like he didn't understand. "The young commander's meaning is that as long as Hou Junji has a good temper and continues to be such a libertine, it means that he still has ambition and ambition?"

"That's right." Qin Mu Bai said with a smile, "in fact, there is no one in this world. Anyone who is outstanding in some way will have a bit of a strange temper. Hou Junji, marching is definitely better than me. If I don't use him in Liangzhou, I'm jealous of talents and abilities. I don't care why he was demoted to Liangzhou. In fact, he didn't disappoint me at all. I didn't complain about his cold reception and rudeness. On the contrary, I was very happy. There is a saying that you have put it in place. As long as he still has temper, it also proves that he still has ambition in his heart and the desire to display his talent. On the other hand, if I am on call and submissive to me, it proves that he is really satisfied with the status quo and has no hope at all. I don't want Hou Junji like that. "

"It seems that young commander is proficient in the way of knowing and employing people..." Xue wanche suddenly realized, "no wonder the more rude Hou Junji is to you, the more comfortable you are. But Is the young commander sure to subdue him? At the beginning, he was one of the most important figures in the government and the army. How could he be willing to be inferior? All over the world. It is estimated that no one can subdue his horse except his majesty! "

Qin mubai looked at the distance, a faint smile, said: "of course, I do not have your Majesty's ability to domesticate horses. But I'm sure the horse won't die of anonymity. Now, Qin mubai is the only one in the world who can give him a chance to gallop. I won't look for him again. But he will come to me. "

"Certainly?" Xue wanche obviously doubted his judgment.

"Yes. Sure. " Qin mubai wrote lightly. "I'll stay in Lanzhou for a few more days. Not surprisingly, within three days, Hou Junji will come to see me on his own initiative. "

"I don't believe it." Xue wanche shook his head very impolitely this time and said, "Hou Junji's arrogance and obstinacy are beyond his right. If you want to say that he will kneel down and ask his majesty to pardon him, I still believe it. If you want to say that he came to ask the young commander I don't believe it when I'm killed

Qin mubai gave a smile and said, "don't be killed. Otherwise, who will help me guard Gan liang? "

Xue wanche laughed. This feeling of being needed is very useful.

In Qin Mu Bai's mind, the train of thought is quite clear.

Li Jing once taught him that no one is omnipotent. People like Qin mubai, who dabble in everything, are excellent, but they are not outstanding.

Business and financial management. Qin mubai is not as good as Wu Meiniang and Zheng Anshun. In governing the people and administration, he may be on the same level as his deputy, the governor of Lanzhou, Xiao Liang. Compared with Fang Xuanling and his eldest son Wuji, he can't even catch up with them. He is more powerful than him in marching and fighting. Far away, he has his own father, Xue brothers and Hou Junji.

However, if we can gather these outstanding people with special skills around us for our own use, it will be another higher level - imperial people.

Li Jing said that he would no longer teach Qin mubai the art of war. What he learned was enough. From now on, Qin mubai should learn how to be an official and a person, and learn how to control people. It is the most profound art of war and the most profound art of war to make up for one's own shortcomings with one's strong points and make the best use of one's talents.

All along, only the superior can learn and master such "art of war".

Now, Qin mubai has taken over Lanzhou. You can't afford it by yourself. Therefore, he needs a lot of helpers, a lot of capable, skilled and excellent helpers.

At present, the civil service group is led by Xiao Liang and others, and can still respond to the government for the time being. Lanzhou is a place of many wars. Generals are particularly important. His father led Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai, Qi Peng Heli and others to Gaochang. If there is to build a house to protect everything there, it may need a lot of manpower, material resources and human resources. At present, there are only Xue brothers and Su dingfang in my hand. If I go to my father's side to divide one or two, my hand will catch Jing to see elbow.

In particular, there is a lack of Hou Junji, who can lead the war and stand in his own way.

As for Hou Junji's ability to March and fight, Qin mubai had to admit that Wei Gong was one of the three disciples. He is better than himself and Su dingfang. At least, he is more experienced. Compared with him, Qin mubai and Su dingfang are still young men. Even if we can surpass him one day in the future, it will be a "future" thing.Instead of crossing the river with stones, why not move a ready-made bridge?

Hou Junji, in the strategic layout of Qin mubai, is such a ready-made bridge.

He's ambitious. That's a good thing. That is not only the source of his motivation, but also the gate of his life. Qin mubai just took advantage of this point to kill his heart first, and then let him work hard.

If people have no desire and ambition, they will become a stone on the side of the road, only worthy of being abandoned and ignored.

Therefore, Qin mubai firmly believes that there is no ambition, no heart. In the future, there will be more trumps in hand and more confidence in the chest.

Compared with the expected big returns in the future, at present, because Hou Junji racked his brains, spent some words, and received a little cold treatment, this investment is a huge profit.

Whether from the immediate or long-term perspective, it is imperative to accept Hou Junji.
