Shang Cheng was really afraid of Tian Xiu. Seeing that Tian Xiu was silent for a moment, he quickly stood up, pretending to be sleepy after sitting for a long time, flexing his fists and flexing his muscles to move his muscles, walked to the window, glanced at the bustling market outside, and asked without looking back: "What time is it?"
Chen Pu responded casually: "It's almost three o'clock in the morning."
Listening to Shang Cheng¡¯s tone, it seemed like he was about to call it quits. From the door to the restaurant, from the last moment to the last moment, Shangguan Rui, who has not found a suitable opportunity until now, is restless. In desperation, happiness suddenly came to his heart. Before Shang Cheng could say the next thing, he clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "Hey! The Ministry of Industry has a way to make a grand show. Thousands and tens of millions of money and food are thrown in as soon as they are told, without even stammering. !¡±
As soon as these words came out, not only Tian Xiu, who was thinking about how to quickly expand the stall after the establishment of the Patent Department, was shocked, but Chen Pu and Shang Cheng were also a little surprised. Even if Shangguan Rui sincerely dislikes the Tianxiu woman becoming an official, he can't say this in front of Chen Pu, right? He said this, where can I put Princess Changsha without fear of offending Shang Yanshan? Chen Pu is Shang Yanshan's old boss, and the relationship between the two cannot be clearly established in just a few sentences - they are comrades who can trust each other with their lives
Shangguan Rui seemed oblivious to the shocked and confused looks of the three people. He sighed, changed his tone, and said in a low tone: "Look at the Ministry of Industry, and then look at our Ministry of War. It's hard to help but I am devastated. I just temporarily borrowed 200,000 yuan of military funds, and I was scolded by Gu Poyang until I was bloody. If Chen Zhuguo hadn't spoken uprightly, I'm afraid he would have shed his skin even if he didn't die this time!" After saying this, he sighed deeply. The resort sighs.
The twist in what he said was really too big, and the turnaround was really too sudden, which made Tian Xiu feel confused when he heard it. She blinked, trying to connect the two unrelated matters of spending money from the Ministry of Works and Shangguan Rui's misappropriation of military funds. Shang Cheng, who had his back to the window, rolled his eyelids and smiled helplessly. He and Tian Xiu kept talking nonsense, saying everything that should be said and what should not be said, and finally managed to get a chance to say goodbye and escape, but in the end he still couldn't escape. His only hope at the moment is that Chen Pu doesn't take Guan Rui's words
When he mentioned this matter, Chen Pu immediately snorted and said angrily: "That's right! I just borrowed some money and food from him temporarily. Gu Poyang wished he could turn the Liyuan camp upside down! He didn't even think about it. He is still the deputy general manager of Liyuan Camp! If Liyuan Camp suffers a loss, can he gain face?!"
Shangguan Rui immediately answered: "I told him that the war in Jiazhou is tight and the expenses are tight, so I will use it temporarily. After the money and food are allocated by the Ministry of War, I will immediately make up for the gap in the Qingzhou command office, but Gu Poyang refuses to comply! At the moment, Qingzhou is just making preparations, but Jiazhou is fighting hand to hand with the Nanzhao people. Gu Poyang can't weigh the importance of the matter, which is really disappointing!" He sighed with emotion, and saw Shang Cheng's cold expression from the corner of his eye. He looked at Shang Cheng and asked, "Shang Shangzhu, you are the mainstay of the army, you are the mainstay of the army. Let me judge, is it wrong or right for Chen Zhuguo and I to do this?" He was afraid that his weight was not enough, so he directly took Chen Pu with him - I don't want this old face, you can't hear about Princess Changsha Even after being implicated, you are still indifferent, right?
Shang Chengdu was almost amused by these words. Fill the gap? Shangguan Rui said this just to deceive Chen Pu. The money and food for the Jiazhou camp was allocated by the Ministry of Registration and Household Registration in Jiazhou, and the Ministry of War was the place where documents were delivered. Even if Shangguan Rui wanted to fill this hole, what would he use to fill it? Liyuan Camp¡¯s money and food? Nonsense! The Liyuan camp had a fixed amount of money and food every year. If Shangguan Rui dared to use it to fill Qingzhou, the officers and soldiers below would dare to block the Yamen of the Military Department and scold him. Why is Gu Poyang so angry? Because this money and food will never come back! It was precisely because he could not get his money back that Gu Poyang wanted to make the matter even bigger and not give up any money, but he had to say this!
But when Shangguan Rui talked to this point, it was no longer easy for him to pretend not to hear. He came over and sat down again, picked up the tea soup that Tian Xiu poured for him, took a few sips, and asked with a half-smile: "How is the war in Jiazhou?"
How is the war in the southwest? Apart from Tian Xiu, who else here has no idea? Shang Cheng, Shangguan Rui and Chen Pu were all generals in the army. The Ministry of War must send them a copy of all the major and minor affairs and war reports in Jiazhou. But there is a reason why Shang Cheng asked this. No matter what Shangguan Rui says next, there needs to be a transition and foreshadowing. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Shangguan Rui to speak directly, and Shang Cheng would have no reason to intervene in the war in the southwest. Although both of them knew in their hearts that what they really wanted to say was after the war briefing, they could not ignore this paragraph.
"The war is going smoothly." Shangguan Rui said without any hesitation. This is the beginning of the sentenceMeaningful words cannot be omitted either. Whether for public or private purposes, he must have absolute confidence in the southwest war! Yu Gong will not say it anymore. This is a national war, and we must have confidence in victory. Even if we doubt the outcome of this war, we must speak in an open place, rather than discussing right and wrong in our own restaurant; privately, he The forty-year friendship with Xiao Jian was very strong. No matter what, he couldn't watch his old friend suffer another big setback! So Xiao Jian complained a little in a private message, saying that the people in the local area had been displaced by wars and it was difficult to recruit civilians. He did not hesitate to ask the Ministry of War to do something and transferred the 200,000 yuan of grain sent to Qingzhou to Li Yuan Camp, and then sent to Jiazhou. Two hundred thousand yuan is really not much, but it is better than nothing. He really wants to help his old friend
"The war is progressing smoothly." Shangguan Rui emphasized again.
What he said is not bad. Just looking at the battle reports received by the Ministry of War, this battle was fought smoothly. Ever since Xiao Jian launched his campaign in Jiazhou in July and August, the campaign against Nanzhao has been relatively smooth. Every once in a while, the camp in Jiazhou would send back a message of success. One day, a group of rebellious officials were suppressed, and the next, a group of officials were defeated. The copycats are all good news. The middle route army in Rongzhou has recaptured Rongzhou and is arranging ships to store grain and grass, preparing to cross the river to attack the Aqie and Xiaba tribes of the Mangshan barbarians in Nanzhao; the Luzhou army on the right has repelled the Nanzhao Yesiman barbarians three times in succession. After the attack, the war on the eastern front also reached a stalemate. The Luzhou Army planned to take advantage of the drop in the river water level in winter to build three military strongholds on the south bank of the river. They would form horns with each other, thus suppressing the enemy's range of activities and forcing them to attack Zhenzhou and Bozhou. direction to retreat. However, Zhao Jun's current focus is still on the right, with the main force distributed from Chengdu to Jiazhou to Jiangshui, waiting for opportunities to seek a decisive battle with Nanzhao's main force.
Chen Pu suddenly said: "Shuai Xiao, the three armies came out to oppress each other. I think it is very similar to the grassland war in the 19th year. We were also" She suddenly realized that the atmosphere in the private room had become very depressing. , he stopped talking unconsciously and looked up. Shang Cheng lowered his head and held the tea cup, while Shangguan Rui looked straight ahead. Both of them looked strange, but they were both silent. She swallowed, and after a while she said with a guilty conscience, "Did I say something wrong?"
