馬場之內,馬管特意巡視而過,見傅小蛙在打掃著空蕩蕩的馬廄。
「娃兒,事情辦妥了?」馬管在馬廄外喊道。
傅小蛙鑽出來,見是馬管兒,恭然地道︰「妥了,我正清理馬廄等著新一批馬送進來!」
「你**咋了?」
「啊,沒事,摔的!」傅小蛙瞧瞧後面道。
馬管還以為他是騎馬摔的,也沒作什麼深究,他道︰「一直以來還不知道你叫什麼名字?」
「小的姓傅,名小蛙,傅小蛙!」傅小蛙應聲道。
「傅小蛙?」馬管叨咕道︰「好奇怪的名字!」
「山里娃,賤名好養和,大人,關于升職的事,俺看還是算了,俺就打理這個馬廄就已經挺忙乎了!」傅小蛙搓搓手道。
「怎麼就沒個長進,想一輩子養馬咋的,你好好干,說不定有一天我這位置就是你的!」馬管誘惑著道。
傅小蛙怎麼的就覺得,這還不是一個養馬的,升不升職有什麼關系。他可不知道,管理軍中以萬計的戰馬,職位可不小,至少也是五品。
「這個,哪個,俺升職後干啥?」傅小蛙覺得這差事是甩不掉了。
「做我的副手,給你個七品小職,雖然是個芝麻小官,干得好再給你升!」
馬管旁邊的屬下眼紅不已,想不到飼馬司的總管竟然如此器重這小子,一下子就從小兵升為帶品小官了。
「那要養多少馬啊?」傅小蛙比較擔心的是這個。
「以後馬場都歸你管。至于多少匹你自己數兒去!」馬管笑笑道。
「歸,歸俺管?」傅小蛙不能相信自己的耳朵,他道︰「那不是您的事兒?」
「我是總管,其實主要責任還是與軍隊溝通,接收命令,實際上管理馬場的並不是我,現在是你了!」馬管覺得,把這個重任交給眼前的年輕人,應該沒太大問題,只要熟悉千篇一律的管理流程。管理馬場並不是件難事。
「俺就怕做不來。這麼大一個馬場,看起來蠻難管理的!」
「怕什麼,一步一步慢慢來,我會叫小六協助你!」
那叫小六的。就是馬管身邊的屬下。听到這有些不滿意。本來是伴在五品身邊,現在變成七品。說實話,他還是想陪在馬場總管身邊。指不定那時總管一高興,就給他升了職。不過這個機會,倒是給了別人,而且一下子成為馬場的新管事。
「噢,那俺試試!」
「小六,你隨我多年,馬場的事也略知以二,以後你隨著傅小蛙,有什麼不懂的提點他一下!」
「是,大人!」小六無可奈何地作揖道。
就這般,傅小蛙管理起整個馬場,小六是總管旁邊的老人,對管理之事非常清楚,給傅小蛙邊走著邊介紹。馬場運作多年,一切都已形成套規模運作,不是什麼特別難管理。
吏部已經給傅小蛙登記造冊,代表著傅小蛙正式成為一名帶領奉祜的小官。
馬場總管已經去軍方接洽,需要幾天才回,傅小蛙正式接管馬場之事。
傅小蛙巡視完馬場之後,對馬場之事已經略知一二。
身邊的小六拿著冊子在匯報道︰「糧倉余大麥一萬三千擔,干草,一萬五千捆,一級戰馬三萬六千七百五十余匹,二級戰馬……」
傅小蛙背著手拿著馬鞭兒,站在廣場上望著一片望不到邊際的馬廄,他回過頭對著正在匯報的小六道︰「是不是我決定做什麼都可以?」
小六愣到一下,點點頭道︰「理論上是,但是大人,小的勸你還是什麼都不要做,因為一個環節變化就可能引起整個流程混亂,到時總管回來,咱們可是吃不了兜著走!」
「這些戰馬都吃得太肥,作戰起來大打扣,從今天起,不再喂大麥,所有戰馬趕到一百里之外的草地去放牧,晚上趕回來!」
小六慌然道︰「大人,這可萬萬使不得,如此一來,整個馬場的管理完全改變,到時會出亂子!」
「現在是不是我最大?」傅小蛙問道。
小六聲音變小道︰「是,是的!」
「那就听我的!」傅小蛙已然下定決定,因為他比較垂涎這一萬多擔大麥,一擔可是一百斤!」
傅小蛙這麼一折騰,可把平日里舒舒服服的養馬士兵們給坑苦,本來只要給馬槽里添添草就好,現在每天早上起來,就要驅趕馬匹到一百公里外。
陽光普照,空氣中混合著青草的香氣,傅小蛙舉目遠望,一片翠綠直到天邊,讓人心曠神怡。
「喲呼!」傅小蛙騎著馬狂奔,在草原上奔馳,身後是真正的是萬馬奔騰,宏然巨大的馬群。
久關在廄的馬匹得到解放,格外歡快,橫掃而過所經之處被吃得光禿禿。
在空蕩蕩的馬場內,一群愁眉苦臉的士兵在打掃馬糞,這是新管事的要求,不過空馬場打掃起來,卻是更干淨徹底。
晚上趕馬回來之時,馬廄已經整理得清清爽爽,晚上再添上些干草喂食。
戰火已經點燃,浩城內外一片緊張氣氛。大息王朝軍隊派駐各個山頭,浩城之外地形復雜,山谷丘陵,兩邊分據而佔,戰略要地你爭我奪。
而難民也成倍數的增長,因為巴圖軍隊攻佔速度極快,甚至超過逃難百姓的速度。攻佔地的難民百姓在巴圖軍隊到達數天後,才逃到浩城。
由于難民數量井噴式的增長,傅小蛙所面臨的糧食問題無比嚴峻,還好他掌管住馬場,把大麥都騰挪出來。讓問題得到緩解,但這也只是治標不治本。
這些天來,傅小蛙的惡魔掠食者小隊白天不停的訓練,晚上出去掠食。宮少白等人在這樣的生活中,才找到存在感,他們慶幸沒有留在將軍府,在這里,他們才發揮最大的價值,而不是每天貓在將軍府里打木樁。
隨著訓練增多,實戰也增多。這些人已經成長為老油條。出去玩命都不帶眨眼。
難民數量的增長,惡魔掠食者小隊的人數也在增加,新加入的年輕人留在城中訓練,在考核達到標準後。才能像老隊員一樣出城掠奪。新人加原來的成員。掠食者小隊已經由三十余人。成長到兩百余人。
黑夜已經慢慢降臨,天空最後一縷晚霞被星空所替代,傅小蛙出現在宅子的門口。
三長兩短。不知道是誰設的**暗號,敲得傅小蛙都覺得自己在犯傻。
「天王蓋地虎!」
「寶塔鎮河妖!」
對完暗號,傅小蛙覺得自己徹底二掉了。
宅子里,幾十號人已然整裝待發,一個個磨拳擦掌,旁邊訓練的新人在一旁羨慕妒忌恨。
「頭,今天晚上掠哪里!」宮少白速度的來到傅小蛙面前。
傅小蛙在隊伍前來回惦量,巡視之後清清嗓子道︰「掠西邊,那邊戰事緊,人多,糧食也多!」
「正合我們胃口,好久沒干票大的了!」宮少白興奮道。
「這些新人訓練得怎麼樣?」
「練了兩天,嚷著要去,不讓!」
「讓他們再練練,等人數夠多,咱就到大營里明搶去!」
「好類,我們起身吧!」
傅小蛙換好將服,騎上專屬的戰馬,帶著大隊再一次出城掠奪而去。
城牆之上,那幾個輪換守城的士兵早已熟悉這一隊人員,連令牌都沒看,吆喝著就打開城門。
浩城外西邊,有好幾個戰略要地,兩軍交戰頻繁,在荒野中的部隊也多。
巴圖大軍除開騎兵所向無敵之外,還有其它的強悍兵種,比如狼騎兵,馬狼,關外特產的狼種,馬狼並不成群,向來獨來獨往,體型大過老虎,據說一只馬狼可以單獨將一匹戰馬咬死。關外某一部族尋得狼崽養大加以訓化,成為坐騎。除此之外,還有巫醫,巨鷹,蠻牛,等等不常見的兵種,這些強悍的兵種讓大息王朝吃盡苦頭。
將軍府處,卻是听聞戰報頻頻傳來,薛將軍一拳狠捶在桌案上。所傳來之戰報,無一是好。
在大沙盤四周,已經到齊各路將軍,牧將軍,張將軍,李將軍,等等數位將軍,齊少白與薛凌香也在此前一同共議軍事。
「東邊失利,南邊也失利,現在西邊也即將不守,大息王朝之軍隊,為何如此不堪一擊!」薛將軍長嘆而道。
