Qingzhou Mansion, Qin Ming Mansion. Qinbei Pavilion
"My lord, the war is about to begin, and alcohol has been banned in the army for a long time!"
As soon as Huang Xin entered the living room, he saw Qin Ming drinking. His face was flushed and he seemed to have drank a lot.
Huang Xin quickly shouted back and dismissed the marching soldiers. Murong Yanda had given orders repeatedly, and the army was ready for battle. In a few days, they would leave the city to encircle and suppress the grass bandits. If they were found drunk at this time, they would inevitably be punished.
"Aren't they drinking too! Why can't I drink!"
Qin Ming slammed the table angrily and shouted, the people he was talking about were Murong Yanda, Hu Yanzhuo, and Guan Sheng.
"The benefactor should be careful what he says. Magistrate Murong is already dissatisfied with the benefactor. If these words reach his ears, he may cause trouble."
Huang Xin quickly said that since the last pursuit of Hua Rong and Lin Chong's defeat, Murong Yanda had been very dissatisfied with Qin Ming and seemed to doubt Qin Ming's ability.
"Trouble? What trouble am I afraid of!"
Qin Ming drank the wine in the bowl and said angrily, Murong Yanda took in the fugitive generals Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, and even hosted a banquet in person. It was obvious that he wanted to win over those two people, but he was not invited to this Qingzhou banquet. Commander-in-Chief of Soldiers and Horses, isn't it clear that you won't give him face? How will he gain a foothold in the military in the future?
"My lord, please calm down! Be patient for now!"
Huang Xin quickly held down Qin Ming's hand. How could anyone in the officialdom be unworthy of being an official? Some things just have to be tolerated.
"Forbearance? They held a big banquet over there and asked me to come back alone. What do you think others will say about me tomorrow?"
Qin Ming's temper was unbearable.
"Sit down and have a drink with me!"
Qin Ming ignored Huang Xin and motioned for him to sit down and accompany him.
Huang Xin knew that Qin Ming was unhappy. If he didn't get drunk, he might cause trouble, so he had to sit down and drink with him.
"My lord, I still have to bear with some things. Even if it's not for myself, I still have to look after the whole family!"
Huang Xin looked at Qin Ming and reminded him that he was feeling more and more frightened now. Since the last disastrous defeat, Murong Yanda had become more and more impatient with Qin Ming. Now that Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng have arrived, Qin Ming's situation is already very embarrassing. , if Murong Yanda is given another excuse, the result will be unbelievable.
Although Huang Xin's martial arts skills are average, he is very shrewd and tactful, and he is very adaptable to the officialdom. He feels that it is not wrong. At this time, Huang Xin suddenly remembered the words Sun Lei asked Lin Chong to bring.
"Murong Yanda has a kind face but a cruel heart. He is narrow-minded and extremely suspicious. Manager Qin must be careful. Even if it is not for himself, he must remember the whole family."
Huang Xin suddenly felt that Sun Lei seemed to have the ability to predict the future. Sun Lei had said everything correctly. According to the current situation, Murong Yanda only needed an excuse to attack Qin Ming. Although he would not kill him, he would still be dismissed from the official position. possible.
"My lord, why don't you start asking for leave tomorrow, just say you're not feeling well, and let Magistrate Murong do whatever he wants."
Huang Xin looked at Qin Ming and advised him that as long as Qin Ming didn't give Murong Yanda any leverage, Murong Yanda wouldn't be able to attack him. After all, Qin Ming was still the military commander of Qingzhou and a military attache registered with the imperial court.
"Why? Qingzhou's troops and horses are all mine!"
Qin Ming didn't listen to the advice at all when he came to Jiu Jin. He was the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou's troops, so why should he give in to outsiders?
"Why!"
When Huang Xin saw this, he knew that no more persuasion would have any effect and would probably be counterproductive, so he stopped persuading him and just drank with Qin Ming.
Early in the morning of the next day, Huang Xin came to the military camp fully clothed. But as soon as he entered the military camp, Huang Xin was shocked. Murong Yanda was taking Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng to visit the military camp. There should be many officials from the army accompanying him. .
"this……"
Huang's confidence sank. Qin Ming was the commander-in-chief of Qingzhou's troops and horses, and he was the supervisor of Qingzhou's troops and horses. Murong Yanda brought Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng to the military camp but didn't even call them. There was too much meaning in this.
"Huang Xin? Why are you here so late?"
Murong Yanda also saw Huang Xin, frowned and asked.
"Be kind and calm down the anger, and the lower officials will be convicted!"
Huang Xin didn't defend himself, he just admitted his mistake. In fact, he was not too late today.
"This is Qingzhou Military and Horse Commander Huang Xin!"
Murong Yanda looked at Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng and introduced.
"Captain Huang!"
Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng bowed their hands to Huang Xin as a greeting. In the past, one of them was in charge and the other was in inspection, and Huang Xin, the governor, was just the deputy of Qingzhou manager Qin Ming.
"Where's Qin Ming?"
Murong Yanda glanced around again and didn't find Qin Ming, so he frowned and asked.
"General Manager Qin has gone out of the city for inspection today, and I'm looking for a favor to express my gratitude to you."
Huang Xin quickly said that Qin Ming was still drunk at home, but there was nothing he could say about it and he could only find an excuse.
"Inspection? Humph!"
Murong Yanda frowned and snorted coldly. He no longer trusted Qin Ming. If he was really capable, he would have killed the thief long ago.
"By the way, in a few days we will encircle and suppress the grass bandits in the mountains. I am going to let Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng lead the troops. You can introduce the situation in the army to them in the past few days."
Murong Yanda did not ask Qin Ming again, but looked at Huang Xin and said.
"Enxiang, is this matter waiting for Manager Qin to come back?"
Huang Xin quickly said that Murong Yanda had made it clear that he wanted to seize Qin Ming's military power.
"What are you waiting for him to do? This matter has already been decided by this government!"
Murong Yanda said without any doubt that he was the prefect of Qingzhou, the highest official in charge of all matters in the prefecture. He was in charge of military affairs and had the right to deprive Qin Ming of his command.
When Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng saw Murong Yanda being so domineering, they felt a little bit in their hearts. They didn't know whether it was good or bad. They were also local military attachés, working with local civil servants. They had never seen Murong Yanda so domineering. The commander-in-chief of the army of a state capital withdrew as soon as he said so.
"Two generals, I'll leave the matter of bandits to you."
Murong Yanda looked at Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng again, said something and left.
"You two, come with me!"
Huang Xin sighed, hugged Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng, and led them towards the Chinese army's tent.
After handing over matters, Huang Xin clasped his fists at Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng and said goodbye.
"Huang Dujian, why are you leaving in a hurry? We are new to the army, and we still have to rely on Huang Dujian for many things!"
Hu Yanzhuo persuaded Huang Xindao to stay. The two of them had just arrived in Qingzhou. The affairs in the army were complicated and difficult to sort out in a short time. The battle was just around the corner, and Huang Xin's assistance was needed.
"Forgive me, generals. I have something urgent. I will report to you tomorrow."
Huang Xin cupped his fists and said apologetically that he needed to stabilize Qin Ming now. With Qin Ming's temper, knowing what happened today, he was afraid something big would happen.
Hu Yanzhuo didn't try to persuade him to stay and let Huang Xin go.
"Brother Guan, what should we do?"
Hu Yanzhuo looked at the rosters and accounts on the table and asked Guan Sheng.
"The troops will be dispatched in a few days. We don't have time to deal with this. I think it's better to go out and select a thousand elites. There are few people and they can be easily commanded. Then we can take them to suppress the bandits."
Guan Sheng thought for a while and said that they were not familiar with the details of Qingzhou Prefecture's soldiers, and since a war was imminent, they could only simplify it.
"Well, that's fine. I'll choose five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry."
Hu Yanzhuo felt that Guan Sheng's proposal was good, so he immediately agreed.
