Chapter 1619 True and False


    Just like it is one thing for many children to understand what their parents mean, and another thing to understand the truth, or it is one thing to understand the truth, but it is another thing to actually do it. What does Yuan Shao mean? Yuan Shang''s heart It is clear to some extent, but how to do it is another matter.


    Everyone has their own thoughts. For Yuan Shao, he feels that talking to Yuan Shang to this level should be enough. Yuan Shang is so smart and he should understand the powerful relationship. In addition, Yuan Shao also wants to let Yuan Shang exercise more. I wanted to practice more, so I gave this task to Yuan Shang.


    However, what parents feel and what their children feel are two completely different concepts.


    As children, a considerable part of them only think about their parents raising them, which is a natural thing. Otherwise, why would their parents have given birth to him or her? And some of these people only know how to reach out and ask for it, never thinking about how to do it. Return…


    As Yuan Shang, although he was better than such a child, under Yuan Shao''s favor, he did not realize the dangers of the entire world like Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, nor did he taste the sadness and pain of adults, so in It is a very important thing in Yuan Shao''s eyes, but in Yuan Shang''s eyes, it is just something that his father, Yuan Shao, thinks is very important.


    Yes, this matter belongs to Yuan Shao, not Yuan Shang himself.


    Parents’ problems are their parents’, and their own happiness is their own.


    So, Yuan Shang had an attitude as if he was going to the street to help Yuan Shao buy a bottle of soy sauce. After nightfall, he led his guards to the supply camp.


    The baggage camp has always been the most chaotic camp. It not only has food and grass, but also various sundries, equipment, and even some craftsmen and civilians responsible for sewing, repair and transportation. So no matter from that aspect, there is no way to be like Chinese military camps are generally neat and orderly.


    Because of the relationship between food and fodder and the mules and horses that transport these baggage, and because Yuan Jun did not pay as much attention to hygiene issues as General Fei Qian did, the excrement of people or animals that could be seen everywhere was like an ambush. To the left and right of the tent, Yuan Shang stepped on it accidentally, and was immediately nauseated.


    Although Yuan Shang has seen blood, dead people, and the dirty situation of feces and urine everywhere, it does not mean that he can get used to blood, dead people, and filth, just like cockroaches and mice that many people have seen many times, but suddenly When he saw it, he would still jump up and scream hysterically.


    As usual, he must have gone back to change clothes, but this time Yuan Shang came with Yuan Shao''s mission. Even if he went back, he still had to go again, so Yuan Shang could only stretch his feet and let the guards deal with the contamination hastily. After taking off his feces-stained boots, he endured his nausea and rubbed them against the tent felt several times. Then he frowned and walked forward cautiously, first arriving at the tent where Xu You was being held.


    When Xu You saw Yuan Shang, he immediately rushed forward and was about to hug Yuan Shang''s thigh. He was immediately blocked by Yuan Shang''s guards and was held back.


    Because he had been in a relatively closed space for a long time, and the conditions of the supply camp were limited, the smell in the tent where Xu You was imprisoned was not that good. Yuan Shang couldn''t help but raise his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and there was a buzzing sound. He said: "Xu Ziyuan, a certain generation of generals asked you, and tell the truth!"


    “Wei, Wei, Third Young Master, may I ask, may I ask...” Xu You nodded like he was pounding garlic.


    “There is mold and corruption in the military rations this time. Why?” Yuan Shang asked.


    Xu You''s eyes widened and he asked blankly: "The military rations are moldy? Huh? What does this have to do with a certain person? Shouldn''t we ask the rear camp''s grain and grass manager? Spring is full of wind and rain, and improper storage is the reason why the rear camp''s grain and grass manager has neglected his duty. !”


    Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "This was already rotten when it was transported! You are the transport envoy, and your words are irresponsible?"


    Xu You was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped up. If Yuan Shang''s guard hadn''t been quick to hold him down again, he might have stuck to Yuan Shang''s thigh again, "This is a frame-up! A frame-up for Zhongliang! Third Young Master, I have done my duty since I was the transshipment officer. Diligently, there is no mistake. I really don’t know where this corrupted food comes from! This is someone who deliberately framed me! By the way, if it is corrupted food, why not harvest it? Don’t tell me, let’s talk about this at this time! Third Young Master is aware of this! I want to confront the head of Houying Food and Grass!”


    Yuan Shang shook his head again and said: "The manager of the rear camp is dead..."


    "Huh?" Xu You''s eyes widened, blank and unfocused.


    "Because the chief of Houying Liangcao died unexpectedly, this matter was discovered..." Yuan Shang said calmly, as if the death of a chief was like the death of an ant, or at most like the death of a bird, and Without much emotion, "Xu Zheng, let''s tell the truth..."


    "No, it''s not me!" Xu You said anxiously with sweat on his forehead, "Food and grass are a major issue in the army. No matter how confused I am, I will not put any thought into this matter! Third Young Master Mingjian, Lord In the past few years, whenever I have given something I needed, has I done anything wrong? I have received some extravagant money, but I have also turned it over to my lord and the third son! It’s really not my fault! !”


    Yuan Shang rolled his eyelids and did not comment, but he felt a little unhappy with Xu You in his heart. Isn''t it right to present something to me? How come it has become a bargaining chip in your mouth?


    “Okay, I know...”


    Yuan Shang rolled his sleeves, ignoring Xu You who kept wailing behind him about what he said about injustice and frame-up, he turned around and left the tent, and went to the other side where Tian Feng was imprisoned.


    ?Compared to Xu You, Yuan Shang is a little more afraid of Tian Feng...


    ?Although Yuan Shang is unwilling to admit this.


    When Yuan Shang arrived at the tent where Tian Feng was imprisoned, he hesitated for a moment, then coughed, raised his head high, and ordered the guards to open the tent curtain, then walked inside, and saw Tian Feng in the dark shadows. With his sharp gaze, he couldn''t help but subconsciously shrink his neck, then straightened his head immediately, pointed his nostrils at Tian Feng, and said: "Don''t drive, Tian! The general has something to say, and I will ask you to punish me!"


    ?Perhaps he had been in the darkness for a long time, and was a little uncomfortable when he was stung by the sudden light of the torch. Tian Feng squinted his eyes, shook his gray beard, and said hoarsely: "Ask!"


    “There is mold and corruption in the military rations this time. Why?” Yuan Shang asked.


    Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, then he smiled hoarsely and said: "Shan! It''s a poisonous policy! This matter is probably repaid by public principles, right?"


    Yuan Shang frowned and said: "I am asking you on behalf of the general! Do you know the reason for the mildew in the army''s grain and grass?"


    Tian Feng squinted at Yuan Shang and sneered twice, seemingly with some contempt, "The general already knows about this, so why bother asking?"


    ?Father Yuan Shao already knows? What do you know? Now that you know, you still want me to ask? real? Fake?


    Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows, hesitating a little, and then said after a moment: "I am asking for the general, Tian Biejia had better answer truthfully!"


    Tian Feng said proudly, waving his hands as if to shoo away flies and mosquitoes, "I want to kill you! Just do as you please! Just go and go! Don''t disturb my sleep!"


    …”


    Yuan Shang glared at Tian Feng, but after a while he could only wave his sleeves angrily and left. When Yuan Shang was a little unhappy and returned to his tent, he suddenly found that his father, Yuan Shao, was already waiting for him in the tent...


    “Here, bring some hot soup!”


    Yuan Shao laughed, and first asked someone to get some hot soup for Yuan Shang to drink, and then asked the guards to change Yuan Shang''s robes, and then ordered the brazier in the tent to be heated up, and then waved his hand to the guards and others. Back away further.


    "How''s the question?" Yuan Shao asked with a smile, "Who do you think is responsible for this?"


    Yuan Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "Reply to my father..."


    Just as Yuan Shang was about to get up and report back, he was held down by Yuan Shao, "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk... You have just recovered, so you don''t need so many rules..."


    "Thank you, father..." Yuan Shang said while thinking, "If we are talking about suspicion, these two people are both... Xu Zhengzheng has always been greedy for money. If he is tempted by the wealth, it is not impossible to pass it off as good... Tian Biejia Well, the Jizhou nobles will inevitably be dissatisfied with the repeated mobilization of money and food. This time it is another levy, so it is possible to mix resentment with corruption..."


    Yuan Shao nodded slowly but said nothing.


    As a result, there was a brief silence in the tent.


    “...What happens next?” Seeing that Yuan Shang stopped talking, Yuan Shao had no choice but to continue asking.


    And then?


    Isn’t this embarrassing my descendants?


    Yuan Shang took a breath and carefully looked at the expression on Yuan Shao''s face through the firelight in the tent, "If it''s a punishment... I feel that both people... are guilty..."


    Yuan Shao still nodded without comment.


    Seeing that Yuan Shao did not show any objection, Yuan Shang''s words immediately became smoother, "According to the child''s opinion, as a transport envoy, Xu Zheng is bound to be guilty of at least one oversight, and Tian Biejia, first It will lead to loss of troops and loss of generals, and then there will be difficulties in mobilization. As the leader of Jizhou, he is also responsible for the ineffective control..."


    "Well..." Yuan Shao still nodded, "If it is according to Shang''er''s wishes, how should we deal with it?"


    "How to deal with it..." Yuan Shang got stuck for a moment, "It''s still the father who makes the decision, the child dare not say anything..."


    Yuan Shao waved his hand and said: "Don''t be so cautious, it''s just you and me, father and son, there''s no harm in talking!"


    "Only..." Yuan Shanggong cupped his hands and said, "The child has the courage to speak out... Tian Biejia, he is unruly and arrogant, and has a lot of rudeness, which can be cured by lack of military strength... Xu is engaged in work, greedy for money and neglect, can be cured by sacrificing goods... However, two People can be forgiven..."


    “Tian Biejia has always been the leader of Jizhou. Although the military food matter is a little tired this time, he still has many connections. If we manage it because of this, there will be many Jizhou children in front of the army, which is inevitable..."


    "Xu Zhengzheng has been following his father for many years. Although he is good at making money, he is also diligent in his work. This time, he always made an oversight and was negligent. If he was killed because of this, it would inevitably chill the hearts of others..."


    “So the child thinks that he can be punished with a small punishment but with a big warning..."


    After Yuan Shang finished speaking, he raised his eyes slightly and observed Yuan Shao''s expression.


    Yuan Shao nodded slowly, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.


    To be honest, Yuan Shao was a little disappointed, but when he saw Yuan Shang''s face that was full of collagen and very similar to his own when he was young, he couldn''t help but feel soft again. He sighed slightly and motioned for Yuan Shang to sit closer, and then Then he slowly and softly said: "Shang''er, remember, a thing, whether it is true, false, right or wrong, is actually secondary..."


    “Huh?” Yuan Shang opened his eyes wide, obviously unable to understand.


    "True or false, right or wrong is not the most important thing..." Yuan Shao continued, "Nothing is completely right or completely wrong... Take this matter as an example, is Tian Yuanhao wrong? Yes. He did not get up. He should have played his due role in coordinating the children of the Jizhou gentry, but was it entirely his fault? Was it Xu Ziyuan''s fault? He was wrong, but under the urgent military situation, could he monitor the situation one by one and then delay the launch? , my head is falling off from top to bottom!”


    "No one is perfect..." Yuan Shao continued, "So when encountering something, instead of spending energy and time to distinguish the rights and wrongs of each person in detail, it is not unnecessary, but for the moment, it is secondary. ’s... More importantly, when encountering something, how to best respond, deal with it immediately, make up for mistakes, and save losses, is what you should consider immediately... The right and wrong of guilt can be calculated later... This, This is what the superiors should consider..."


    Just like contamination or leakage, errors have occurred, and harm has emerged. The first and most important thing is to deal with it immediately to reduce losses and harm, rather than hiring some temporary workers to take care of the problem, or saying that it is not painful or not. Statements, excuses and cover-ups.


    Yuan Shang was suddenly enlightened and said: "If the army''s food is rotten, the soldiers will inevitably become angry. Therefore, my father captured Tian Xu and the two men to calm the soldiers'' resentment! However, there is no rush to punish the crime because it is not the immediate urgency! The immediate urgency is Destroy the thief! The rest can be discussed later!”


    Yuan Shao smiled happily and nodded. "So, does Shang''er know how to deal with it?"


    "When the message is circulated in the camp, the camp officials will behead all the grain and grass officials in the back camp to vent the anger of the soldiers! Expose the grain and grass to show that there is plenty of surplus food and stabilize the morale of the army! Separately imprison Tian and Xu, and then allow them to leave after the morale of the army calms down. After getting Yuan Shao''s advice, Yuan Shang said fluently, "What''s wrong with the two of them? We''ll deal with it after the war is over!"


    The laws of the Han Dynasty allowed copper fines to be paid as punishment.


    ?Of course, this also depends on whether the person in charge is willing to accept the atonement...


    Yuan Shao raised his head and laughed loudly, "My son got it, it''s very good, very good! That''s it! Come on!" He immediately conveyed a series of orders, which were basically similar to what Yuan Shang said.


    The next day, because of the food and grass incident, a group of military officials who were in charge of food and grass in the rear camp were **** and pinned down under the camp gate. They were all beheaded in public. Tian and Xu were imprisoned because they were involved. There was a moment of turmoil in the army. , but after seeing the rear camp inspecting and exposing the potentially moldy grain and grass to the sun, and knowing that the quantity was quite sufficient, I gradually calmed down...


    ?It seemed that everything was on the right track again, and we were waiting for the showdown with Cao Cao, but no one thought that this was actually just the beginning...
