However, their evil plot will not succeed in the end.
Why?
Because I traveled through time and was destined to have the aura of the protagonist, how could I be knocked down by these evil-minded old men?
After doing enough psychological construction, you still have to face reality.
Even with the halo of the protagonist, the current difficulties still need to be dealt with seriously.
Wang Mi clasped his fists and said: "If there is a problem with food and grass, I am willing to bear all responsibilities."
Xie Xuan was a little surprised. He never expected that Wang Mi would agree so happily, without any hesitation.
He dug the hole. Why didn't he know that Wang Mi should not be held responsible for this matter? Xie Xuan was a prudent man and was not a person who did not know right from wrong.
However, why did he put the blame on Wang Mi again?
It’s hard for Lao Xie too!
As the commander-in-chief and the backbone of the Xie family in Chen County, it is impossible for Xie Xuan himself to take over, so what about Huan Chong?
Of course Xie Xuan also hated Huan Chong. If he hadn't been incompetent, why would he have reached this point.
However, Huan Chong was the one who led the troops after all, and he had the support of Jingzhou forces behind him. He was an indispensable force in the battle to capture Xiangyang.
As the commander-in-chief of the Beifu army, Xie Xuan also had to be courteous to Huan Chong. This is why he knew clearly that all the food was consumed by Huan Chong, but he could do nothing about it.
Do we need Jingzhou soldiers to attack Xiangyang?
The answer is of course yes.
In this case, Wang Mi became a expendable option.
Who made him a civil servant?
Who told him to be young and inexperienced?
The most important thing is, who let him go to the battlefield by himself!
In a place where generals gathered together, Wang Mi naturally became the punching bag for the generals' mistakes and took the blame.
Wang Mi's calmness made Xie Xuan even more embarrassed. Look at how upright he is, and look at you, there is nothing left in his mind except conspiracy and conspiracy.
"This is what you said, don't regret it when the time comes."
As the instigator of this incident, Huan Chong jumped out at this moment, and Wang Mi gave him a kind smile.
Old boy, you still have the nerve to say something.
"This is natural. The younger generation will definitely accept General Huan's lesson and will never make the same mistake again."
He is referring to Sang Shu Huai!
Although Huan Chong was confused, he still heard it!
Boy, how dare you understand me!
"Why is Secretary Wang so nervous? If something really goes wrong, I will help you find a solution. Even if it gets to the court, I will definitely put in a good word for you."
"Thank you so much, General Huan."
It is impossible to say kind words. The implication of Huan Chong's words is very clear. If you overturn the car, I will definitely stand with Xie Xuan and push you again.
Adding insult to injury is the best thing to do.
The two veterans now smiled in perfect harmony, looking at Wang Mi as if they were looking at a little lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Fresh and delicious.
Obviously, Wang Mi was the main talent cultivated by the Langya Wang family during this period, and he does seem to be somewhat capable now.
If Wang Mi can be knocked down, the Langya Wang family will fall into silence for a long time, which will be a great thing for powerful families like Xie and Huan.
After receiving Wang Mi's affirmative answer, the two generals were very satisfied, chatting and laughing. Xie Xuan even set up the chess game again, and insisted on pulling Huan Yi to play another game.
Huan Chong did not have such elegance. He had always been a vulgar person, and his favorite thing was wine, sex, and wealth.
At this moment, he had already stood up and was ready to leave.
Wang Mi saw the opportunity and quickly followed.
He smiled and said, "General Huan, what are you going to do?"
Huan Chong was stunned, why did he come here again? He was so thick-skinned.
"Will you go to watch the gambling game?"
Is not this nonsensical?
You asked me, can I not go?
"certainly!"
Before Huan Chong took a step, Wang Mi was already striding forward, seemingly more excited than him.
Xiao Wang has never seen gambling in ancient times, and now is the opportunity.
Soldiers in ancient times were very boring when they were not fighting. Normally, during preparations for war, they could only live in the military camp and could not go out for a walk. They could not even see a young lady, which was extremely boring.
What kind of entertainment can tens of thousands of extremely poor and bored men do if they stay together?
It will definitely not work if it is unhealthy, and it will not work if it hurts the body. We still have to keep a good body to fight!
What else can be done?
How can we get soldiers to have some fun?
Starting a gambling game seems to be the only option.
In fact, by the Jin Dynasty, paper had become a relatively common writing material, its output had increased, and its price had dropped.
As long as an official can afford it, the big soldiers in the military camp naturally don't have much money.
However, all gambling equipment can be recycled, and it is not impossible to make a deck of cards out of paper.
On the way, Wang Mi suddenly thought of the flying flower cards popular in the late Tang Dynasty. This kind of flying flower cards is different from the popular Western European poker in the past. There are no points on the paper, only characters.
It is also made of paintings, and the figures are used to distinguish the big and small, such as generals, soldiers, civil servants, etc., which are official positions that can be seen everywhere in the court. Ordinary villagers have heard of the names, and can also distinguish the big and small of the characters.
And depending on the size of the character, you can play card games.
Comparatively speaking, this kind of flying flower card is much more interesting than the popular gambling method in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
Comparing the north and the south together, the gambling equipment in the north is now much more advanced than in the south.
At this time, in the north, under the influence of Hu Feng, a chess game called "Zhihu", also known as "Shuanglu", became popular.
Although this game of chess also has a gambling nature, its gameplay is more diverse. The most distinctive feature of backgammon is its board.
The wooden chessboard is painted with various patterns, including trees, flowers, and even landscapes.
Backgammon also has a sieve with points engraved on it, and different points are set up on the chessboard according to the lines of the scenery. According to the different points, you can move on the chessboard. Whoever walks out of the chessboard first wins.
In the hinterland of the south, the most popular one now is Aiopus, which has been popular since the Han Dynasty.
The so-called alfalfa, due to its long history, not many physical objects have been unearthed. We only know that it seems to be a relatively simple gambling method of counting points and comparing sizes.
Generally speaking, this method of gambling mainly relies on luck and technology, and it has little to do with winning or losing in gambling.
However, Wang Mi only heard about the shape of the utensils of Ai Pu, but did not see its face. Perhaps, he can open his eyes today.
Wang Mi followed Huan Chong all the way to the rear barracks, where many military tents were established. There were too many soldiers gathered in Yuanjiang garrison this time. Only those with a certain level could live in houses. Ordinary big-headed soldiers could only live in houses.
Can live in a military tent.
After a heavy rain, the weather is humid and hot. For soldiers with limited living conditions, such weather is actually not very friendly.
However, the soldiers didn't care. They raised their arms and sat on the gambling table. They were not afraid of sweating. As long as they occupied the position, no one was willing to move their buttocks.
