Zhentian looked at Zhenling and shook his head, Zhenling lay on his back on the seat sadly, staring at the roof in a daze, "Xue Tianao is the envoy of the festival here, he holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he is a general appointed by the emperor, he doesn't trust us, and it is the best time to send troops at this time, and there is no excuse to stop him, what should I do?" Zhen Ling crumbly paced back and forth in the room with his hands on his chest, and Zhen Tian's eyes fixed on Zhen Ling's back and forth.

Zhentian has been sitting on the side and silent, just staring at Zhenling with his eyes, Zhenling can't think of a way, he is anxious to go crazy, and simply sends the anger in his heart towards Zhentian, "You always sit here, don't say a word, do you think of a way?" How many hours do we have left except for time to eat and sleep? If you can't stop Xue Tianao, how can Miss Xiao explain? She's going to eat us. ”

Zhentian sat up straight, "Ling'er, I have a solution, but I don't know if it will work." Zhenling slammed and rushed to Zhentian's side, "Say quickly, what way?" Zhentian thought about it for a while, in fact, he also felt that this method was a bit dangerous, so he didn't tell Zhenling just now, "Xue Tianao is a general, and he is the envoy of several nearby states, and he holds the power ......of the army."

Zhenling interrupted him impatiently, "Oh, I know this, what are you going to do?" Zhentian paused for a moment and then said, "The only person who can control Xue Tianao is the emperor." Zhenling tilted his head to stare at Zhentian, "I know this!" And then what? ”

Zhentian was stunned, but he didn't expect that when he said this, Zhenling didn't even react, "I mean that if the emperor asks Xue Tianao not to send troops, Xue Tianao should not dare to send troops." ”

After hearing Zhentian's words, Zhenling jumped up with a smile, "yes, why didn't I think of this way!" Just when Zhenling smiled and clapped his hands, Zhentian's eyes sank, looked out of the window, stretched out his hand to signal Zhenling not to make a sound, Zhenling glanced out of the window, saw a figure outside, flashed, and then smiled and Zhentian started a homely routine, what is the owner's family, Li Jiaxiao said, how good is the Jiedu envoy in the house, how Xue Tianao looks like a flower, and so on.

However, every time Zhenling associated Xue Tianao with his beauty like a flower, he couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Zhenling and Zhentian have been killers for many years, and they have seen a lot of things like holy decrees, and in the middle of the night, Zhenling quietly went out in a night suit, and only came back when it was almost dawn, and no one knew.

Just when Xue Tianao was wearing his battle robe and preparing to personally lead the troops to the battle, he was stopped at the door by Tang Siqi's holy decree, which did not specifically mention the attack on Wuzhou, but just asked Xue Tianao to stand still now, no matter what happened, he would not have to fight. The person who sent the decree was a father-in-law he didn't know.

Xue Tianao was unconvinced, "Attacking Wuzhou at this time will definitely defeat the Chu army, and when the time comes, the Chu army will be directly driven out of the territory of our Great Wei State, why does the emperor want to hold his troops now?" The father-in-law replied, "This is not clear, since this arrangement must have the emperor's thoughts, General Xue had better not send troops, so as not to commit the crime of bullying the king." Xue Tian gritted his teeth arrogantly, but in the end he still did not send troops, and he couldn't offend Tang Siqi at this time.

Xue Tianao did not send troops, and the happiest thing was Zhentian and Zhenling, but when Zhentian and Zhenling passed the news to Xiao Wanyao and told her about the matter, Xiao Wanyao had no reply, and there was still no news from Xiao Wanyao a few days later, so Zhenling went to Mingyu, Mingyu has been busy recruiting troops and buying horses, and within ten days, he will complete the task ordered by Xiao Wanyao. He didn't know where Xiao Wanyao had gone.

Hearing what Zhen Ling said, Mingyu was also a little worried, and immediately sent someone to contact her in the way Xiao Wanyao said when she left, but there was still no news, Zhen Ling was anxious, "Miss Xiao won't have an accident, right?" Mingyu comforted on the side, "Probably something is delayed, maybe it's inconvenient to contact us for a while, and wait." ”

Although Mingyu comforted Zhenling, he was even more anxious than her in his heart, and the military salary needed to recruit troops and horses had been almost spent, if there was no money, I am afraid that tens of thousands of elite soldiers would be empty talk at all. Now I can't contact Xiao Wanyao, so I can only find a way to solve the money matter by myself.

Just in case, Mingyu asked Zhenling not to contact him recently, lest Xue Tianao find out that he was outside, responsible for finding Xiao Wanyao's whereabouts, and Zhenling had no choice but to return to Xue Tianao's mansion.

Wuzhou, Chu State Military Camp

After Lei Luo, the general of the Chu State, learned of what happened in Wuzhou, he quickly dispatched grain and grass from other states and counties to replenish it, but the route of mobilizing grain and grass must be secret and not be discovered by the Wei people, so it will take a while.

In order to avoid the chaos of the Chu army in Wuzhou, Lei Luo personally came to Wuzhou to boost the morale of the army, after the news of Lei Luo's arrival in Wuzhou came out, Xue Tianao was even more angry that Tang Siqi made a decision at this time, which made him miss a good opportunity. As a result, I began to wonder what was the purpose of this holy decree.

After Lei Luo met with the major generals in the palace of Wuzhou City, he carefully studied the map of this place, Wuzhou is a fortress, even if the Wei army led by Xue Tianao now blocks them, but after holding Wuzhou, it can be captured to the west and east, and then the two forces all go north, bypassing Dingzhou, and besieging the Wei army in Dingzhou.

However, this is only his personal next step, because there are still many things to be solved, and the most urgent thing to solve is the problem of grain and grass in Wuzhou, in order to hide their grain transportation routes, the grain and grass they transferred from other states and counties must be carefully marched, otherwise once discovered by Xue Tianao, he will definitely send troops to attack the grain and grass army.

While Lei Luo was thinking, the guards came to report, "General Lei, there is a businessman outside who asks to see you and says that he knows you." "Do you know your name?" The guard said, "He did not give his name, but only said that he would give this waist card to the general, and the general would definitely meet him." As he spoke, he handed a waist card to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo saw the waist card and immediately became excited, "God help me, hurry up, please let him in." The guards hurriedly retreated and led the man to Lei Luo, and before he could enter the house, Lei Luo had already greeted him personally, "General Lei, long time no see!" Are you in good health? ”

Lei Luo was born in the military, with a burly figure and dark skin, not as much etiquette as those literati, with a bold temperament, hating villains the most, and liking to meet heroes the most, "Haha, Brother Shangguan has been looking for you for a long time, did you deliberately avoid me?" Shangguan Yunfan immediately smiled and said, "There, there, if I deliberately avoided General Lei, why should I visit today." ”

Lei Luo knew that Shangguan Yunfan was a businessman, and he was also a ruffian businessman, and even sometimes there were robbers, saying that he was a profiteer, they all underestimated him, Lei Luo didn't like this person very much on weekdays, because he was too tactful, but at this time he welcomed Shangguan Yunfan's arrival very much, and the two entered the house Lei Luo ordered someone to serve tea.

After taking his seat, Lei Luo stared at Shangguan Yunfan, with a tentative look in his eyes, "Brother Shangguan, I don't know what to do with me here?" Shangguan Yunfan smiled indifferently, such a person has seen it, although he is not an official and has never been an official, but he has never been afraid of high-ranking officials, and the more high-ranking officials he wants to get close to them and deal with them, "I am a businessman, I came here to find General Lei, so I naturally came to do business." ”

Lei Luo guessed something, but pretended not to understand, "Oh? I have only arrived in Wuzhou not long ago, and you came to me for business, didn't Brother Shangguan have long expected that I will definitely come here? Shangguan Yunfan smiled, "It's just a coincidence, I originally wanted to do business with the Chu army, but I didn't expect General Lei to come here, so naturally I came to find General Lei." ”

Lei Luosi thought that Shangguan Yunfan did not directly talk about business, "Brother Shangguan, I remember that you have been doing business in Hezhou, why did you come here?" "After Hezhou was contributed by the Chu army, he roamed around in the next place, and businessmen went wherever they could make money." Shangguan Yunfan replied with a smile, he knew that his kind of person was not very likable, but he liked silver, now the war is in chaos, business is difficult to do, in this war zone, only by doing business with these people, the profit is the greatest, and of course it is the most dangerous.

Lei Luo nodded, "I don't know where Brother Shangguan came from?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan smiled, "From Dingzhou!" Lei Luo's eyes suddenly darkened, "Then what business does Brother Shangguan want to do with me?" Shangguan Yunfan was still smiling, and Lei Luo's expression was naturally seen by him, but despite this, he also thought that this business could be done and was easy to do, "Grain and grass business!" All of this grain and grass were transported from Dingzhou at the risk of death, and I knew that General Lei's military camp was in urgent need of grain and grass. ”

Lei Luo's eyes darkened a little, staring at Shangguan Yunfan deadly, and snorted coldly, "Where did the news from Brother Shangguan come from?" How can our Chu army be short of food and grass? It's not that Brother Shangguan's subordinates have the wrong news. ”

Shangguan Yunfan's face did not change, if he wanted to make more money, he naturally had to take greater risks, and he also knew that the Chu army would definitely not spread the news of the loss of grain and grass, but despite this, there was still a lot of gossip spreading, "Whether this matter is true or not, it doesn't matter if it's in Xia, it doesn't matter in Xia, in Xia is just concerned about business matters, if General Lei doesn't need it, he can find someone else to sell it." ”

Lei Luo knew that if he needed this batch of grain and grass more, Shangguan Yunfan would raise the price of grain and grass higher, "Brother Shangguan is right, you businessmen only care about business, and it is best to interfere less in other matters, so as not to get into trouble." Lei Luo changed his words and said, "However, when we march and fight, grain and grass are necessary, and it is reasonable to store more, I don't know how much grain and grass you have in your hands now, Brother Shangguan?" ”

Shangguan Yunfan was happy in his heart, the expression on his face was still cold, he smiled slightly and stretched out five fingers at General Lei, Lei Luo's eyes sank, although it was not too much, but it was enough to resolve the crisis in front of him, "Brother Shangguan, how much does it cost to sell?" Shangguan Yunfan stretched out his finger again, Lei Luo stood up suddenly, this price, even he, a general who was not surprised, was startled, it can be imagined that Shangguan Yunfan is a sky-high price.

Lei Luo suppressed the anger in his heart, he was clearly taking advantage of the fire to rob, not even as good as bandits, looking at the confident smile on Shangguan Yunfan's face, he must have clearly known the shortage of grain and grass in the Chu army camp, and also knew that Lei Luo would pay for his grain and grass no matter what, "Brother Shangguan, you are equivalent to robbing it clearly." ”

Shangguan Yunfan smiled indifferently, "General Lei, since I am a businessman, I naturally hope that the higher the price of my things, the better, as for being said to be robbing or something else, I don't mind." ”

Lei Luo took a deep breath, originally thinking that Shangguan Yunfan's arrival would solve the current situation, but he didn't expect to be exploited by him again, but there was no other way. R1154
