At sunset, Lao Cheng's team arrived. Looking at the old guy riding on the horse, Li Hao happily greeted him: "Uncle Cheng, you are here."

这不是李昊想当舔狗,实在是老程这种混不吝面前没办法装·逼,否则很容易被揍.

Old Cheng was in good spirits and didn't be polite to him. He waved his hands and said, "Boy is good. He's so bad. He really gives us generals a face."

You are the general, your whole family is a general, I am obviously a civil servant, okay?

Don’t believe it? The identity of the prince’s attendant is here. Who can become the prince’s attendant?

He rolled his eyes without a trace. Li Hao didn't take the old Cheng's words and said with a pity: "Uncle Cheng has been exhausted on his journey. My nephew has already arranged the barracks with the minister and the others, burned hot water, and asked Uncle Cheng to get off the horse and rest."

When Lao Cheng heard about taking a shower, he began to itch all over his body.

Since he came out of Liangzhou, Lao Cheng hasn't taken a shower for almost half a month, and his whole body feels as uncomfortable as if he has a layer of carapace.

However, the entire army was short of water along the way, and the water he carried was not enough to feed animals except for people. Naturally, he was embarrassed to be independent. After all, he was the commander of the army. How could he do it without leading the way?

Li Hao saw the old Cheng's entanglement and said with a smile: "Uncle Cheng doesn't have to worry too much. Although Qizhou is also short of water, my nephew has arranged for people to dig wells day and night and built hundreds of water pumps. Although the problem of water shortage is still not solved, it is still okay to supply Dajun to drink."

Lao Cheng nodded after hearing this and slapped Li Hao on the shoulder: "Okay, you are filial, let's go to the camp."

The military camp was built on a river beach as Li Hao said. In theory, this kind of land was not suitable for camping. However, considering that the entire Guanzhong was short of water, even if the gods came, it would not be possible to create something like flood in a short time, so Lao Cheng didn't say anything.

On the contrary, because of the flat terrain and a good view, the river beach can see clearly the situation around the camp without even a few guards after setting up the camp.

Tens of thousands of troops camped in the river beach, and layers of camps surrounded Lao Cheng's central army tent in the middle. As the sky became darker and darker, the lights on both sides of the river beach stretched for more than twenty miles, and there was almost no end at a glance.

Outside Lao Cheng's central army tent, Yan Feibai looked extremely ugly and pulled Li Hao to the dim light: "Nephew, you, what do you want to do today? As a local official, how can Uncle Yu contact the returned army? Do you want to kill me?"

Li Hao rubbed his nose and smiled off his face: "Jun Yan, I used to think you were a good official who was dedicated to the people. Now it seems that I was blind and misjudged the person. Well, since that's the case, you should go back early while it's dark, and today I'll pretend you have never been here."

Although he had known that Li Hao had a bad temper, Yan Feibai did not expect that he would turn against him so quickly.

Before, Uncle Shi was still calling out, but in a blink of an eye he became Yan Jun again.

Considering that this young master can't afford to offend him at the moment, he will rely on him to provide funds for a series of projects such as road construction and dredging in Qizhou in the future, Yan Feibai smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Nephew, don't be angry, uncle Yu is also worried that someone will cause unnecessary trouble for nephew? At that time, uncle Yu's life and death are small, and it will be big if he causes unnecessary trouble to Duke Wei."

"Hmph, Yan Jun is really good at speaking." Li Hao curled his lips and said to Yan Feibai in a slight and uneven manner, and then changed the subject: "I originally thought that the uncle of the Cheng family brought the army to Qizhou, and he could take the opportunity to let him do some work and help the people of Qizhou dig hundreds of deep wells along the way, but I never expected that the kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs... Forget it, let's pretend that this has not happened. I'll go to rest, so please go back early."

Hey? Is there any such operation?

Yan Feibai was stunned, and then suddenly realized that it might be possible.

There was a severe drought in Guanzhong and Qizhou was short of water. The people even had only half a kilogram of water to drink every day. But even so, after hearing the news that the transit army was short of water, the people of Qizhou still took out one of their few troops to save water.

What kind of feelings is this? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a military and civilian relationship?

Let’s take a look at it again. The people took out their life-saving water. Will the army passing through the border be embarrassed to thirst and then pat their butts and leave?

That must be embarrassed, right, especially the general who is so proud of Cheng Yaojin.

Therefore, it is normal for the army passing through to thank the people for their kindness and digging a few life-saving wells for the people of Qizhou.

"Oh, look at my brain." Seeing Li Hao getting farther and farther away, Yan Feibai slapped him hard on the head and ran a few steps to pull him back: "Nephew, nephew! Uncle is wrong, uncle shouldn't have misunderstood you. I'd also ask my nephew to recommend General Cheng for me, even if I ask you."

"What? Yan Envoy is not afraid of death?" Li Hao squinted Yan Feibai and said contemptuously.

"The nephew gave up the generous life in Chang'an for the people of Qizhou, and even his reputation was damaged. Even if I don't understand the truth, how could I take it lightly? Besides, I am an official of Qizhou Prefecture. My nephew has achieved this. If I still have to look forward to it, wouldn't I laugh at the world?"

Yan Feibai said all the good things, and finally persuaded Li Hao to change his mind and sighed: "Oh, I originally didn't want to care about the affairs of Qizhou anymore, but when I turned around, I thought, "What are the people of Qizhou? I'm afraid that the people of Qizhou will die for this severe drought... Forget it, for nothing, Yan Jun, this is only once, I won't be the case."

"Yes, yes, no example, no example. If there is another next time, I don't have to speak up, and I will have no shame to see my nephew again."

Seeing that Yan Feibai was about to sweat, Li Hao didn't care about himself and walked back to the corner just now: "Uncle Shi, don't blame me for being angry, it's really that what you said just now was so annoying."

"Yes, yes, it's uncle foolish to judge a gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart." Yan Feibai bowed again and apologized.

This is also impossible. Who makes his mind worse than this kid?

Li Hao stopped when he saw that he was ready and reached out to stop Yan Feibai, who was about to continue bowing: "Uncle Shi, don't need to do this, let's discuss how to operate the whole thing."

At this time, Yan Feibai naturally had no words and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Uncle Yu will follow the arrangements of his nephew."

After some conspiracy, Yan Feibai's cervical spine that nodded was about to break, but after listening to Li Hao's arrangement, he no longer cared about it. He called Zhu Heguang, who was waiting in the distance at the fastest speed, and whispered a few instructions, and then sent him out of the camp.

Zhuhe Guangtukai will not talk about his business for the time being, but said that Lao Cheng had finished taking a shower and put on clean clothes. The person who started to come in and told Li Hao that he had been waiting outside for a long time with the Qizhou sect.

Cheng Yaojin is also an old army, so why don’t he know the rules that local officials are not allowed to contact the army? He frowned and muttered in a low voice. Then he said to his guards: “Since they are all here, let them all come in. It’s windy to the night, don’t freeze.”

It was already early June, so where could it still be frozen?

However, Lao Cheng is the largest general, whether it is a title or an official position in Qizhou, so naturally he will do whatever he says. Even Li Hao, the first disaster, did not object, and Yan Feibai will not.

"The Assassin of Qizhou Prefecture, Yan Feibai, have met Mr. Lu!"

"Well, sit down." Cheng Yaojin sat in the coach's position with a big horse, pointed to a row of small stools below, and looked at Li Hao: "Is this a good thing you guy did?"

"Then look, isn't I have no choice?" Li Hao smiled embarrassedly, and did not be polite to Cheng Yaojin. He took the initiative to carry a small stool and sit next to Lao Cheng, grabbed a teapot and filled the tea for him.

Lao Cheng did a good job of setting an example. The army said that if they don’t drink, they won’t drink. Even if they return from the war, they will be in Chang'an soon.

"Tell me, what are you bad ideas?" Cheng Yaojin's eyes glanced back and forth on Li Hao and Yan Feibai's faces, and turned a blind eye to the tea on the table.

Little brat, I'm just playing tricks on me, but I don't want to answer, it depends on what you do.

Faced with Lao Cheng who was unable to get into the air, Yan Feibai naturally had no choice but to look at Li Hao involuntarily, as if he wanted to see what he planned to say.

"Uncle Cheng's eyes are like a torch. My nephew's little thoughts are indeed impossible to hide from you." Li Hao didn't look at Yan Feibai, and he held Old Cheng's words. Seeing that he had no reaction, he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and said, "That, actually, my nephew has no other idea. He just wants to borrow tens of thousands of labor from Uncle Cheng."

"Ha!" Cheng Yaojin made a disdainful voice, reached out and slapped Li Hao on the head: "Boy, you haven't woken up, are you?"

"Oh..." Li Hao was dizzy when he was slapped by this slap. After a while, he came to his senses. He consciously moved the stool and took a few steps back, and then said depressedly: "Uncle Cheng, the people of Qizhou are suffering. The rivers in the state are basically dry. Let's not talk about getting water to irrigate the land. It is difficult for the people to drink water. You are famous for being kind-hearted. You can't watch them die of thirst, right?"

"Get out, don't talk nonsense with me here. You didn't say that when I saw me just now." Old Cheng rolled his eyes, not moved by Li Hao at all.

Seeing this, Li Hao looked at Yan Feibai and finally stopped pretending and showed up: "Uncle Cheng, then I will just say it. I plan to ask the Right Wu Houwei to open another thousand deep wells in Qizhou. What price will it cost? You can pay."

Open another thousand wells! Is it such a big deal? Yan Feibai felt that his breathing was about to stop. His old eyes stared at Cheng Yaojin, waiting for his reply.

At present, all the deep wells in the four counties of Qizhou Prefecture are about 300. The water pump can meet the daily drinking water of the people of the prefecture. If one more 1,000 irrigation is enough, I am afraid that it will be enough for irrigation, and if it is not done well, it can catch up with another crop of late rice.

Cheng Yaojin did not rush to teach Li Hao a lesson this time, and looked down at the cup of tea on the table and pondered without saying a word.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers in the Right Wu Guard, plus the auxiliary army, the number was no less than 60,000.

It is not a big deal to open a thousand wells with so much manpower, and it will not take more than three days.

But his current mission is to escort Fu Yun, the former king of Tuyuhun, and to rebel against Beijing, and to accompany the missions of various countries in the Western Regions. This is a matter beyond the scope of authority for the Right Martial Guard.

After all, his previous mission was to fight the Northern Expedition, but Li Hao's incident occurred halfway, so he delayed in Liangzhou for nearly two months, and he picked up such a beautiful misfortune by the way.

The above can be explained in some aspects after returning to Beijing. After all, the Tang Dynasty mission was "hijacked" outside, and the Right Wu Guard was approaching, so there was no reason not to go over and help.

But helping Qizhou Prefecture digging a well is another matter. If you strictly put this matter, you cannot escape the crime of interfering in the local area. Even if you roll on the tantrum after returning to Beijing, you will probably need to waste some effort if you want to explain.

After thinking about it, Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "Boy, it's not that Uncle Cheng doesn't help you. You should know that the military law is as good as a mountain. I have reported my itinerary to the capital before. If the army does not arrive in the capital on time, the uncle's head will not be able to be saved."

Li Hao's mouth twitched, which was something he had never expected before. He hesitated for a moment: "Uncle Cheng, law is nothing but human rights. Qizhou is almost thirsty. Can't this allow the army to stay for several days?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head and spit out a word: "Difficult!"

Difficult does not mean that it is not possible.

Li Hao's ability to understand was extraordinary and said with a sad face: "Uncle Cheng, do you know that in order to welcome the triumphant success of the army, the people of Qizhou took out all the life-saving water stored at home. If you don't care about them, I'm afraid that once you leave, there will be a lot of sadness in Qizhou."

Cheng Yaojin: "..."

What's the thing? Moral kidnapping?!

If I don’t send someone to help you dig a well, I’ll be a sinner forever?

Facing Old Cheng's murderous gaze, Li Hao said without fear: "Uncle Cheng, I am the one whom Yan Yan promised that the army will leave enough water for Qizhou to save lives. So don't blame me for being unreasonable. It would be fine if you agreed to this matter. If you don't agree, don't blame me for writing to Your Majesty, saying that you are ignoring the people and being ruthless."

Well said! This is called being strong and not afraid of power!

Yan Feibai changed his view of Li Hao for the first time. He used to regard this young man as a playboy who was a little clever and relied on his family background to do whatever he wanted.

But now seeing Li Hao facing the murderous old Cheng, he still did not change his original intention, and Yan Feibai had to secretly express his admiration.

With such a young hero in Qizhou, no matter how big the drought is, he will no longer be afraid. Even if he is heartbroken, he will leave a source of water for the people of Qizhou to survive.
