Little Zhuangtou and the Great General

038

"You still know how to come here?" Luo Zhaojian sat in the conference hall next to the inner hall of the second entrance, staring at Shen Miao and Wu Liu who came hand in hand.

Shen Miao was quite embarrassed when she saw it, she should have come downstairs after finishing her meal quickly, but she was delayed after eating and it became sweet again, causing everyone to wait for them.

Wu Liu helped Shen Miao into the seat, and just now he apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry for your waiting."

The steward didn't dare to have too many opinions, and just stood silently when he heard the words. Monk Gu leaned on the side of the pillar with his arms folded, and smiled meaningfully. He was just ignorant, not fully understood, and he was a little shy when he met him suddenly, scratching his head embarrassingly, avoiding Wu Liu's sight.

Only Luo Zhao remonstrated with his mustache, and said angrily, "Fortunately, he didn't go to battle, otherwise you would never win any battles like you are."

Wu Liu accepted Luo Zhao's remonstrance with a good temper, and began to discuss the topic: "I went to the mountain to see it during the day, is there anything I can choose?"

"I ran all over the mountain, and my legs were broken, so I finally found it." Monk Gu said, opened the map and hung it on a wooden stand, and pointed to a place, "Here."

This picture was drawn by Wu Liu himself when he went to the mountains to sell smuggled salt. He nodded when he saw it: "It matches the place I want."

When Shen Miao heard the words, she poked her head around and looked stupid. The maps of the ancients are really not flattering. The mountains, rivers and rivers are drawn too abstractly. A guy like him who has a perfect score in geography and looks at contour maps can only do so with this kind of map. kneel.Fortunately, Monk Gu saw Shen Miao's embarrassment, moved to Shen Miao's side, and explained in a low voice: "This place is called Yixiantian, and it is formed by two steep cliffs. The road inside is narrow, and only two people can sit side by side. Pass. The cliff on the left extends outwards, forming a mountain. There is a crack in the middle of the mountain, one and a half people high, and the depth ranges from one to two feet. It is not difficult to build a house in it, and it saves materials. The most important thing is concealment."

Shen Miao understood what Monk Gu meant, and took advantage of the favorable terrain to build a rock house on a steep cliff, saving materials, effort and concealment.But good or bad, there are still a few disadvantages, so I asked: "This place is obviously easy to defend and difficult to attack. Is there any other way for people with ulterior motives to go around? Building houses on cliffs, no matter how hidden they are, people will find them, especially How can the smell of cooking be concealed?"

Monk Gu looked at Shen Miao after hearing the words, and the rest of the people also looked back at him.

Shen Miao was surprised, did he ask the wrong question?

Luo Zhaojian was the first to withdraw his gaze: "Barely it's not an embroidered pillow."

Wu Liu smiled and explained: "The mountains here are all continuous, unlike those mountains on the West Zhejiang Road, which are often steep and jagged with strange rocks. Naturally, it is possible to detour here, but it will take a lot of time. There are many, and the detours are inaccessible mountains and forests, during which there are many towering giant trees, and there are poisonous snakes living in the trees, unless they are determined and brave, they generally dare not detour.”

"As for the matter of the cliff house being exposed, there is no need to worry." Monk Gu added, "The cliff where the cliff house is located is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The dense fog has not dissipated for a long time, and it already contains a strong scent of grass and trees, which is enough to cover it up."

Shen Miao thinks so too, he has never seen chili here, onion, ginger and garlic are rarely used, leeks are not allowed to be eaten on the left and right, and it is enough to add less cooking wine, but the taste of the dishes will be much more monotonous.

Seeing this, Monk Gu added another sentence: "Monk, how can I ignore the problem of the smell of rice when I do things? The end of the cliff crevice is already covered with clouds, and there is a strong wind blowing all year round. If the kitchen is set here, it doesn't matter if you cook with heavy oil. "

Shen Miao couldn't help nodding, Monk Gu was an expert in eating, and he was so thoughtful about setting up the kitchen, so he couldn't help but praise Monk Gu.

Luo Zhaojian coughed intentionally when he saw this, "Your gentleman is far away from the kitchen, that's enough to talk about, there are other serious things to talk about."

The two of them kept silent, Wu Liu said: "I'm not an expert on how to build a house, I have to trouble you to advise and do it for me, just ask about the materials."

"I have resolved this matter. Among the 20 people left, three are plasterers in their hometowns. We only need to ask how to make them want to go."

"That's great." Wu Liu nodded.

Luo Hu asked: "Can we set up an interrogation post?"

"No!" Wu Liu, Luo Zhaojian, Gu Monk, and Shen Miao said at the same time.

Luo Hu was frightened and looked puzzled: "Why?" The four looked at each other, and finally Luo Zhao pointed out Shen Miao: "You tell me."

Shen Miao hurriedly said: "Setting up checkpoints is not conducive to screening refugees. Real refugees will be afraid and dare not come. People with ulterior motives will think that the mountain is rich and prosperous because of setting up checkpoints, so they will covet them."

Wu Liu and the other three nodded.

Luo Hu asked again: "How to interrogate without setting up guards."

"Use the clouds and fog to covertly observe, firstly screen out the sneaky people; secondly, you people don't just stand guard with troops, you should send some people out, or go to work in the fields, or go hunting in the mountains. Naturally, they will come forward to ask. Once you ask, you can tell whether there are ulterior motives."

"If someone deliberately pretends to be a refugee to inquire about the news, how can we tell?" Luo Hu asked.

"Those who deliberately inquire, the things they ask must be safe. You all have to pretend to be villagers at the foot of the mountain, answer half of the answers, and half of the answers. The truth and the false are mixed, and you must never reveal what happened on the cliff. Those who are interested in investigating have one more doubt. It can be found, the refugees will leave after asking, because the way down the mountain is still far away, and those who inquire will wander around, trying to find out your details, and set up surveillance on the nearby mountains."

Luo Hu nodded after hearing this, he had some eyebrows.

Luo Zhaojian took the opportunity to add: "I will also be on the mountain at that time, so I can help you as a consultant."

"Zhao Jian's body has not recovered yet, it's better to live at the foot of the mountain." Wu Liu hurriedly said.

Luo Zhaojian refused: "The bed in your village is too soft, I'm not used to sleeping on it."

"Then I'll ask someone to replace Zhang Jian." Wu Liu said, unexpectedly ignoring Luo Zhao's remonstrance.

Shen Miao looked at Wu Liu strangely.

Luo Zhaojian is so clever, he immediately understood the meaning behind these words, and said, "What? I'm an old man, and you still want me to stay in the manor to work for you?"

Wu Liu smiled and said hurriedly: "It's definitely not a sacrifice, but I just feel that it's a pity that the talent who has been ordered to remonstrate is living in the mountains, and the village is more suitable for exhorting and admonishing."

"Okay, don't flatter me, according to the rules you set before, no matter how capable I am, I won't be able to do it." Luo Zhaojian waved his hand.

Shen Miao was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what Luo Zhaojian said a few days ago when he was still on the mountain.From his point of view, he praised Wu Liu's charitable deed of paying money to open up mountains and fields, but he disagreed with this policy, thinking it was too gentle.After thinking about it for a while, Shen Miao was somewhat inclined to Luo Zhaojian's point of view, but he didn't know Wu Liu's point of view, so he could only explain it first.

No, before he opened his mouth, Wu Liu said, "Of course I know the disadvantages of paying money to open up mountains and fields, but there is a reason for it, and I have to do it now."

Luo Zhaojian obviously disagreed, and chuckled lightly: "I would like to hear the details."

"Currently, thousands of miles of fertile fields along the East Zhejiang Road are deserted due to Dong Chang's strategy, and the existing food and grass of the Eighth Town Army can only last for one year at most. After one year, the fields will have no food to harvest, and the Eighth Town Army will be in chaos. Therefore, the immediate task is to must Open up mountains and fields as soon as possible to ensure food and grass." Wu Liu explained.

Luo Zhaojian laughed: "The Eighth Town Army belongs to Dong Chang, you just need the food and grass, and let him figure out a way. Besides, how can the generals of the Eighth Town Army provide food from their own manor to the army?"

Hearing that Wu Liu was silent, Luo Zhaojian put away his smile and stared at Wu Liu.

Even if all the manors in Qian Liu's hands were rebuilt and harvested in good years, they could not afford to support the large Eighth Town Army, but if they only provided for his part, it would be more than enough.It seemed that Qian Liu had already made up his mind, Luo Zhao remonstrated and asked, "Your father has already made up his mind?"

Wu Liu nodded: "My father said: Farming is the foundation of the world. There are many mountains and little flat land in the east of Zhejiang Province. We must find a strategy to benefit agriculture."

"Okay!!" Luo Zhaojian clapped his hands after hearing the words, "Your father can finally make up his mind." He pondered for a while, and said, "Since that's the case, I will do my best to help you."

Shen Miao heard that she didn't fully understand the meaning behind the conversation between the two, but when she heard that Luo Zhaojian was willing to help, she said happily, "It's great that you are always willing to help."

"Don't be too happy." Luo Zhaojian raised his eyebrows and pointed to himself, "I'm weak and sick, I can't handle such a big thing by myself, I have to contribute at a young age like you, what about me? Just point out one or two more."

Shen Miao was taken aback when she heard that, Luo Zhaojian wanted to give him advice?That is a great thing. This person seems to be a person with profound experience. He is lacking in the understanding of this era. It is good if someone is willing to teach.

Luo Zhao remonstrated that Shen Miao hadn't responded for a long time after he finished speaking, so he was upset. How could he be regarded as a person who is highly praised in the world, and he offered to give advice, but was rejected by others?

Seeing this, Monk Gu quickly pushed Shen Miao: "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and ask for a teacher."

Shen Miao quickly regained consciousness, stood up and walked over to worship.

Luo Zhaojian was not happy, and frowned: "Did I say to accept you?"

As soon as Shen Miao heard it, she knew that the other party must be unhappy because he didn't respond in time, so she hurriedly coaxed: "I was so happy to hear that you are always willing to give me advice, so I didn't agree immediately. Now that I'm back to my senses, I'm so happy gone."

Said Shen Miao was about to kneel down, but her back was so sore, and the pain was severe when she moved a lot. As soon as she bent her knees, she threw herself on the ground. Wu Liu hurriedly supported Shen Miao, knelt down with him, and said to Luo Zhao He remonstrated with a smile and said, "Thank you Mr. Luo."

Luo Zhao remonstrated that he wanted to put on airs, but when he saw Wu Liu knelt down together, he didn't dare to hold it any longer, so he obeyed the instruction: "To enter my sect, one must be diligent and must not slack off. , don’t tell me the vulgar words you said just now in front of others.”

"Disciple would like to follow Master's instruction." Shen Miao said hastily.

Wu Liu also said: "Don't be negligent in appreciating the teacher. Tomorrow, I will post it immediately, and then I will do it."

Luo Zhaojian then nodded: "Get up first, the business is not over yet."
