Straight man of steel

Chapter 188
"Hey, brother Zhang, I've been waiting for you.

What about Wei Qing? "

Thinking that there was no way to get into the military tent, Zhang Yuan dragged Gongsun Ao to the school grounds.

"Army Sima, after we are in the army, you and I will only be matched by our military ranks.

General, he has something important to do right now, so let's deal with it first.

I took Sima to the school grounds to have a look first, at the moment the lieutenant soldiers are practicing. "

Gongsun Ao said with a big smile.

"Okay, although I was also a member of the Qimen Army before, I have been away for a few years after all, so it's better to take a look first."

When Zhang Yuan heard Gongsun Ao mention this matter, he remembered that Gongsun Ao was from the Qimen Army. When he was asked to rescue Wei Qing, Gongsun Ao was a Lang official under the Qimen Army.

In terms of understanding of the Qimen army alone, Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan are not as good as Gongsun Ao.

Whether Liu Che wants Gongsun Ao to help Wei Qing completely control the Qimen army, or whether he has other intentions, it seems that it is still unclear.

"Yes, yes, let's take a look first."

The two walked while chatting, and it didn't take long for them to look around the entire campus.

Seeing Gongsun Ao greet some people repeatedly, Zhang Yuan felt quite uncomfortable.

After wandering around, Wei Qing knew the news of Gongsun Ao's arrival, and hurriedly interviewed everyone and walked towards this side.

"Earlier this morning, I heard that brother Gongsun was appointed as Sima of Qimen Army, but it surprised me and brother Yuan very much."

Gongsun Ao also clasped his fists at Wei Qing and said with a smile.

"It's the same for me. The three of you and I will work together to shine in half a year."

Surprised, Wei Qing quickly said to Gongsun Ao.

"Shut up, this is still top secret.

His Majesty has ordered that no one in the hall be revealed that day, except those who must participate in this matter. "

Gongsun Ao was also surprised, and immediately looked around.

"I made a slip of the tongue, the general reminded me."

After the three of them returned to the military tent, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and asked Wei Qing.

"General, did everything go smoothly just now?"

When this matter was mentioned, a smile suddenly appeared on Wei Qing's face.

"Successful, very smooth, these people are scrambling to donate war horses one by one.

As soon as I mentioned this matter directly, they reported the figures themselves.

Finally, he promised to send 630 war horses from home. "

Zhang Yuan didn't expect the effect to be so good, so he directly gave Wei Qing a thumbs up, although neither Wei Qing nor Gongsun Ao knew what it meant.

"The general did a good job. I have to hurry back and get someone to make horseshoes.

Before winter comes, we still have three months of training and drill time. "

Gongsun Ao was at a loss, and had no idea what Wei Qing and Zhang Yuan were talking about.

"You two keep talking about war horses, what war horses?"

Wei Qing couldn't suppress the smile on his face at all, and explained to Gongsun Ao when he heard it.

"Chang Shi asked me to find those honorable children in the Qimen Army, and asked them to go to their homes to beg for war horses.

Just like this, Chang Shi and I ordered 830 horses.

It is more than double the number of war horses in our Qimen Army now. Do you think this is worth being happy about? "

There was no smile on Gongsun Ao's face, but worry.

"Have the general and Chang Shi ever thought that this kind of behavior is no different from extortion? Even if those honorable children want to come with war horses, this matter must not be hidden.

If it is passed to His Majesty, His Majesty may be angry. "

Zhang Yuan patted Gongsun Ao, but he didn't expect that he would take this matter so seriously.

You must know that Zhang Yuan learned Liu Che's tricks, and Liu Che is very likely to come up with white deer coins or something to blackmail these nobles in the future.

"The general and I didn't intend to deceive His Majesty at all, and the general will write up this matter as a report and submit it later.

His Majesty won't care if these nobles bleed a little in the battle of the country.

Moreover, the extortion is for our own benefit, and the general and I are extorting for the sake of the righteousness of the country. Can this still be called extortion? "

Wei Qing slammed the table excitedly. Just now he was a little uneasy because of Gongsun Ao's words. After hearing Zhang Yuan's words, he immediately found a reason for himself to do something.

"Yes, we are for the righteousness of the country.

As long as he can kill one more person on the battlefield in the future, so what if he is punished now? "

Wei Qing shouted loudly, which startled Zhang Yuan and made Gongsun Ao startled.

In a flash, Zhang Yuan thought of another idea.

"General, you and I jointly signed a memorial to plead guilty to His Majesty."

Wei Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked puzzledly.

"Why plead guilty? We are for the righteousness of the country, so what is the crime?"

Zhang Yuan said with a sinister smile.

"This apology is naturally for the righteousness of the country, hehehe.

Just do as I tell you, General. "

In this way, Zhang Yuan stood beside Wei Qing and told Wei Qing what the memorial wanted to express.

Wei Qing wrote on the bamboo slips one stroke at a time. Gongsun Ao listened more and more frightened, deeply afraid that he would encounter misfortune when he stayed around these two people.

Zhang Yuan persuaded Wei Qing to do this because of his enthusiasm. He didn't think about the consequences at all. When he thought about it the next day, it was already over.

As for Wei Qing, he didn't think about it, he knew that Zhang Yuan's actions were all for the sake of the big man, and the flame in his heart burned even more vigorously.

The next day, the front hall of Jianzhang Palace was built.

Liu Che was holding a court meeting, and a group of civil and military ministers were divided into two sides.

These ministers were all a little uneasy, because Liu Che's complexion was not very good-looking.

"Xue Ze, Marquis of Guangping."

Xue Ze, Marquis of Guangping, heard Liu Che's shout, and hurried out of the queue with his head lowered and his jade plaque in hand.

"The minister is here."

Liu Che took a roll of bamboo slips from the desk in front of him, and threw it directly in front of Xue Ze.

"Look, this memorial was submitted to me by you?"

The uneasiness in Xue Ze's heart became more and more severe, and his body trembled a little.

He tremblingly stepped forward to pick up the memorial, opened it and found that it was submitted by himself, so he lowered his head and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this memorial was presented to Your Majesty by a minister.

Yesterday, Xue Ren, the third son of the minister, returned home from the Qimen army and asked for two hundred war horses, saying that Shi Zhangyuan, the commander of the Qimen army, needed them.

I felt something was wrong in my heart, so I handed this memorial to His Majesty. Is there anything wrong in it? "

Xue Ze slightly rolled his eyelids, took a peek at Liu Che, and found that the anger on Liu Che's face had not subsided.

Liu Che didn't answer Xue Ze's words and continued to ask, but instead glanced at the officials in the hall.

"Among the lords, is there such a thing as the Marquis of Guangping?

There is no need to throw all the memorials in front of you, just come out. "

After Liu Che finished speaking, more than a dozen ministers walked out scatteredly. Among them, there were five high-ranking ministers, and most of the rest were Marquis of Guannei, and there were also two elders.

Although some official positions are not high, the titles are all real.

Either it was passed down from the ancestors, or he came here immediately.

Such a force can completely influence the direction of Liu Che and even the big man.
