Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 188, The Identity of the Purple Girl
Zhisu Neishi came to Zhang Cang's mansion. Zhang Cang had made great contributions to controlling the locust plague, and the doctor was very dedicated. Ying Zheng also valued it, but he knew Zhang Cang's character and didn't let him work too much.

"My lord, please." The steward of Zhang Cang's mansion came out to greet him.

"Is Master Uncle at the mansion now?" Zhi Su Nei Shi asked while walking.

"Yes, my lord is taking a rest today and is at the residence." The steward said.

When Zhi Su Neishi and the steward entered the mansion, five or six children rushed towards them, the oldest was seven or eight years old, and the youngest was four or five years old. Seeing these children, Zhi Su Nei Shi thought of the folk rumors about Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang did not shy away from his liking for wives and widows. He often met widows in Xianyang and around Xianyang privately. For a while, there were endless rumors of widows giving birth.

Fortunately, the current state of Qin is not a dynasty that will be poisoned by degenerate Confucianism in the future, otherwise these widows would be immersed in pig cages, and Zhang Cang would take those widows and children back to him after he knew about it, so Zhang Cang would not be taken away. To punish.

It's just that these are a minority after all, Zhang Cang also goes out to work on weekdays, and he can't help but talk to widows wherever he goes, so I'm afraid he doesn't know how many children Zhang Cang has.

"These are the children of adults." The steward also saw Zhi Su Neishi's thoughts and explained that he had long been used to the strangeness. Zhang Cang is only [-] years old now, but he already has no fewer than ten children. Cang Ping is so creative.

The steward brought Zhi Su Nei Shi to Zhang Cang's study. Zhang Cang was lying on a bench with a book in his hand. Two or three concubines were serving Zhang Cang. Two of them were rubbing their legs, and one was peeling grape skins. The grapes were brought back from the Western Regions by some Hu merchants, and they were expensive. Looking at the grape skins on Zhang Cang's table, we can see how much Zhang Cang enjoyed his life.

Zhi Su Neishi looked at Zhang Cang's appearance, although he wanted to stop it, it was really not in line with Zhou etiquette, but thinking that he came to ask for help, he could only sigh helplessly and said:
"Disciple, Meng Gong pays respects to Master Uncle."

"Well, why did you come to see me?" Zhang Cang said after putting down his book and dismissing the concubine.

"I begged my uncle to take the trouble to help a group of nephews. Uncle Ziyou recruited 10 Korean troops. Suddenly there was an extra [-] people's food and grass, so we couldn't get it out for a while, so I came to my uncle for help." Meng Gong Said.

"I don't understand these things, and I won't produce food for 10 people. Why are you looking for me?" Zhang Cang got up and said, although he said so, he was already thinking about how to get food for 10 people .

"Qin has food and grass, but now it is occupied by various projects. The food and grass for the [-] troops can't be produced for a while, so I want to ask my uncle to find a way to dispatch it." Meng Gong said, what he said was very official, but in fact I just want to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but how to tear it down and repair it is also difficult. The east wall must be left. We can only dig out some of the stones on the east wall, which can not only supplement the west wall but also ensure the east wall. completeness of the wall.

"Why is this so? I heard that a lot of money was transported back to Xianyang from South Korea, and the ruts left by the carriages on the road were buried in the soil. With this money, you can directly buy it from grain merchants." Zhang Cang said.

"I have thought about this method, but the transportation of grain and grass by grain merchants is not as fast as dispatching directly from the country." Meng Gong said, Qin's grain and grass are all stored in the granary, and they are transported to various places on time and according to the amount, and every stone of grain They are not bad at all. If there is a way to squeeze out some, they can be directly transported to the army. If the grain merchants wait until the grain merchants arrive in Xianyang for handover and then send them to South Korea, it will waste too much time.

"Give me the latest food arrangements and dispatches." Zhang Cang said silently. Originally, he didn't want to take care of this matter, but Meng Gong is his own, so he still has to help.

"It's here." Meng Gong took out a thick account book from his arms. This is the recent grain transfer and division of Qin State. This is a plan finalized after they negotiated with various departments. They have done careful calculations, and they came to Zhang Cang because they valued that Zhang Cang's arithmetic ability is much stronger than theirs, and maybe they can squeeze out some.

Zhang Cang glanced at the account book, turned his hands quickly, and quickly closed the account book halfway through and said
"You can postpone the construction of roads in Nanjun and the food and grass of the soldiers stationed in Nanjun for ten days. The food you transported at one time is [-] shi, and the amount is one month each time. But according to the previous report, the cost of the road is [-] shi. , The actual consumption is [-] shi. This year they still have [-] shi of surplus grain, and the three cities in Nanjun have not been recovered, so these grains and grass are enough. The [-] troops consume [-] shi a day, plus the cost on the road. Twenty-five thousand shi is enough, and these ten days are enough for you to buy grain from grain merchants." Zhang Cang said.

"Thank you, uncle." Zhi Su Neishi said in surprise.

After leaving Zhang Cang's mansion, Zhi Su Nei Shi sent someone to bring some rare things to Zhang Cang as a thank-you gift.

At this time, the army of the Qin State had completed the encirclement of Xinzheng. Looking at the tall city walls of Xinzheng and the strong bows and crossbows on the top of the city, the army did not rush to attack the city, but encircled and trapped the people in Xinzheng to death.

In the big tent of the Qin army, Ziyou sat at the top, Chen Ping stood aside, Wang Jianmengwu sat on both sides, and the rest of the generals, including Bai Yifei, Yang Duanhe, Li Xin and Feng Wuze, stood below and waited to attack Xinzheng. orders.

Everyone looked at Chen Ping beside Ziyou curiously and cautiously. Chen Ping remained silent and did not show timidity under the scrutiny of these people. Under the scrutiny of these people, he can still be calm and composed. He already has a high evaluation of him in his heart, and not everyone can remain so calm under the scrutiny of people like them.

"Xinzheng Chenggao has about 3 horses and a large number of Han crossbow arrows. If you attack rashly, it may cause great losses." Meng Wu said that the most troublesome thing in South Korea is the strength of the bow. Crossbow, the damage is too high, especially for defending the city.

"Wait, when the public loser comes over, besides Xinzheng, there are other cities that have not been captured. Go and fight now, and remember that no one will be left behind." Ziyou said, military strategists are good at fighting, but siege public losers are even better at it. , because the siege equipment they built is more useful, especially the Potu Saburo that has been secretly built. The public losers can suppress the Mohists in Qin by relying on their domineering mechanism skills. The crossbows and weapons used by the Qin army are all passed by the public. After home improvement.

"No!" the generals shouted, they understand that this is an opportunity for them to gain credit, attacking a country does not have so many troops to attack every city, they are all attacking key places, after taking the capital of a country, send people Cities were attacked one after another, the capital of the country was destroyed, and after the monarch was captured, most of the defenders of these cities would surrender, and some would resist until the end or die for their country directly.

At this time, the melon-eating people who are paying attention to the Korean war situation saw that after the Qin army encircled Xinzheng, they directly divided their troops to attack other places. Naturally, they surrendered, but now they choose a stalemate, which makes them unable to understand. You must know that the army consumes countless food and grass every day of stalemate.

They don't know what Ziyou is doing. Although Ziyou has a high status and prestige in Qin, he doesn't understand military affairs. Wouldn't you, Meng Wu and Wang Jian, try to persuade him?And if it drags on like this, aren't you afraid that Qin will worry about you gathering troops and being proud?

The soldiers defending the city in South Korea were dumbfounded when they saw the Qin army stopping the attack outside. They were all ready to fight to the death, but what is wrong with you camping directly outside the range without any preparation for attacking.

At this time, in Xinzheng, the streets became desolate due to the siege of the army outside the city, and the common people hid in their homes and dared not come out. They are still extravagant and extravagant. They rely on their status, the status of nobles. They know that wherever the Qin army goes, all the nobles are wiped out, but compared with nobles like them, those people can also be said to be ordinary people. They are the biggest controllers in South Korea.

Zi Nu looked at Wei Zhuang who was lying on the bed covered in bandages and said

"The Qin army besieged the city but did not attack it. Instead, they attacked other cities that had not yet been captured."

"Ziyou doesn't understand military affairs, but Wang Jian and Meng Wu do. They agreed that it must be because of other things. I must go to see King Han." Wei Zhuang struggled to get up and said, the battle between him and Wang Jian made him understand himself The difference from a famous general, even if he has been extremely careful.

However, he was ambushed by Wang Jian, and the [-] supporting army was wiped out. He also escaped under the protection of his personal guards. He was found by Quicksand's spies on the road and sent to Zilanxuan.

"Your body injury has not healed yet, and your disappearance is said to have abandoned the army and fled. Now that you return to the Korean court, let alone defend the city, it will be fine if you don't get executed by the king of Han." Zi Nu sighed Said.

Wei Zhuang was silent, and his expression became extremely complicated.

"Zifang has already left Xinzheng ahead of schedule, now we are left in Quicksand." Zi Nu said.

"Aren't you going to leave? I don't know what the Yinyang family wants, but facing the Qin army outside, you can't take anything with you," Wei Zhuang said.

Seeing Wei Zhuang suddenly pointing out her identity, Zi Nu was not surprised at all, but said flatly

"When did you start investigating my identity?"

"Since I left Guigu and returned to Xinzheng, you contacted me, and I began to doubt your identity, but I didn't investigate clearly until I inherited the position of the general, and in Ji Wuye's mansion I only know about you from the collected information." Wei Zhuang said.

Ji Wuye's dead defender Zhuang took over the position of the general, and at the same time let the quicksand absorb the remaining birds. When they confronted Ji Wuye back then, Ji Wuye had already been secretly investigating their identities.

"I see." Zi Nu said softly.

"What exactly is the Yinyang family going to do? What is your deal with the King of Han?" Wei Zhuang asked. According to Ji Wuye's information database, Zi Nu is a member of the Yinyang family, and also the contact person of the Yinyang family and the Han royal family. , in which it is recorded that the Yin-Yang family went deep into Hanwang Palace and met with Hanwang many times, and there was a secret transaction between the two.

　Everything is perfect today
