Chapter 417: Arrangements for Leaving the City
"Waste, you're all waste. Twenty-three people, that's twenty-three masters, and it's gone?"
He had been like this for several hours in a row, and the dozen or so people standing below couldn't breathe.
Maybe tired of scolding, the monsoon finally stopped. He looked at the Heaven Ascending Realm master in front of him and asked, "Tell me more about the situation at that time." ”
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, when his subordinates stopped them, Zhao Fei only had four people......"
The man quickly recounted the situation, and some of the details were clear. Monsoon listened very carefully and didn't interject.
"Your Excellency, that's what happened on the ground. When he finished speaking, the man was still trembling.
"Got it, you all go down. Monsoon waved his hand.
"Alas. How can I explain to Lord Xuan if something so big happens? This should be the most dead people in decades. Monsoon muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
What to do next, he was already confused. After thinking about it for a long time, he made a decision, and he had to tell Lord Xuan about it as soon as possible.
"What are you talking about, killing twenty-three masters?" Cai Bin stood up with a "rub".
This news was so exciting, he never dreamed that Zhao Fei would give him such a surprise.
"My lord, that's true. A master of the Heaven Ascending Realm, a half-step Ascending Heaven Realm ......"
The three of them carefully described the scene at that time, and Cai Bin listened with enthusiasm.
"Good, well done, well done. Zhao Fei is simply a talent, seriously injuring Li Xiangming and killing twenty-three masters, this is really a great joy. Cai Bin danced excitedly.
"My lord, Dean Zhao also gave us some pills......
The three of them took out the pills, and the secret guards had rules and did not allow anyone to hide their secrets.
"Since he gave it to you, keep it for yourselves. Cai Bin waved his hand and stopped mentioning it.
"All of you go out to observe the movements of the imperial capital, and if you find suspicious people, you must keep an eye on them. With such a big incident, I don't think they can calm down. Cai Bin sneered.
Lu Qianlong returned to the imperial capital to bring back the news, and everyone was overjoyed. No matter how happy they are, they also think of a question, will the other party retaliate like crazy?
Before Lu Qianlong came back, Zhao Fei also reminded him repeatedly that this was a difficult thing to deal with.
Zhao Zhenduo and Lu Qianlong immediately began to prepare and formulate several sets of plans. At the same time, he wrote a letter to Lin Xuejiao, who was far away in Qinghuang Town, to let her know the news and strengthen her precautions.
"Uncle, it's almost time to leave the city, and I'll ask you to have a few drinks when you get to the city. Three days later, in the afternoon, Zhao Fei and the others came to the gate of Licheng.
"Haha. Haven't we been drinking all the way?" Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"Although I drank all the way, after all, there were not many snacks. When you get to the city, I will treat you to a big meal, at least twenty dishes. ”
"Big brother, this sounds familiar, it seems like Zhao Wen's mantra, have you also learned it?" Ah Diao couldn't help but say next to him.
", you kid is getting worse and worse now. Zhao Fei glared at him.
"Hahahaha......"
Wu Tianming and Ah Diao couldn't stop laughing.
In the past two years since leaving the city, under Ni Peng's governance, earth-shaking changes have taken place. Because it is an important place for soldiers, the transportation is convenient, and the flow of people is more.
Today, the city is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which highlights Ni Peng's ability to govern the city.
"Dean, when we leave the city, shall we go directly to the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Hmm. Brother Yan, go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. Diao, you show him the way. ”
The soldiers defending the city were surprised to see the four horse-drawn carriages, because there had never been a four-horse carriage in the city, and most of them had never seen them in their lives.
Although it was not known who was in the carriage, none of the soldiers defending the city dared to stop the carriage from entering the city. Under the guidance of Ah Diao, he soon came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Stopping the carriage, Zhao Fei and Wu Tianming stepped down from the carriage.
"Haha. Brother, I'm finally looking forward to you. Ni Peng walked out of the house briskly at this time.
When their carriage stopped at the door, the soldiers guarding the door had already informed Ni Peng, after all, the four-horse carriage was too eye-catching, and everyone knew that there was a big man sitting inside.
"Brother Ni, don't come here to be harmed?" Zhao Fei greeted with a smile over his fists.
"Very good, everything is fine, please come to the house for a while. ”
"Brother Ni, this is the head of the Wu family, the predecessor of Wu Tianming. Zhao Fei introduced as he walked.
"It turned out to be Senior Wu, and I asked my predecessor to forgive my sins. Ni Peng immediately bent down to salute.
"It's all your own people, you're welcome. Wu Tianming said repeatedly.
The Ni family and the Wu family have been working together, although they are business partners, Ni Peng has not met Wu Tianming. The only person in the Ni family who has seen Wu Tianming is Ni Peng's father, Ni Zhen.
"Hey, Lord City Lord, when I don't exist?" Ah Diao and Yan Yuntian chased after him from behind.
"Haha. Brother Diao, do I dare you not to exist when you don't exist? Then you still have to beat me all over the ground looking for teeth. Ni Peng patted Diao on the shoulder enthusiastically.
Ni Peng quickly arranged to prepare dinner, and he wanted to pick up the wind for Zhao Fei. At the same time, he arranged for someone to invite Yang Xun over, they were all old friends and had to get together together.
"Dean Zhao, I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would have gone to greet you. Seeing Zhao Fei, Yang Xun smiled wryly.
"General Yang, are we still polite? Let me introduce you to this is Wu Tianming's senior, and this is Yan Yuntian. ”
"Fortunately, fortunately. Yang Xun hurried to salute. 360 Literature Network
"Dean Zhao, the head of the family, you have arrived. After a while, Zhang Qin also rushed over.
"Alright, let's talk while we eat. Ni Peng hurriedly asked everyone to sit down.
There were only a few of them who attended the dinner, and no outsiders attended.
"General Yang, how are you doing here?" Zhao Fei asked Yang Xun after a few glasses of wine.
"Back to Dean Zhao's words, we have been recruiting recently. At present, there are 400,000 troops stationed in the army, and they have been training them to enhance their combat capability. ”
"Okay, is there anything you can take to the battlefield?"
"Dean Zhao, there are 200,000 people who can go to the front line. ”
"Yes, send these 200,000 troops to Yanbei City and hand them over to the command of the King of Yanbei. Zhao Fei thought about it, and then made a decision.
"Dean Zhao, there is nothing wrong with this, I did not obey your command. Yang Xun agreed.
"General Yang, is there a problem in recruiting another 300,000 troops in three months?"
"There is no problem, the end will ensure that the task is completed. Yang Xun agreed.
Recruiting soldiers is not a simple matter, there must be military camps, generals, and most importantly, military salaries, food and grass, and supplies.
"Brother, I will solve most of the grain and grass in the city by myself, and I only need a small part of the court to solve it. Ni Peng immediately made a guarantee.
"Okay, Brother Ni, it will be a lot easier this way. To give you a number, if you want to win this war, the total number of troops used in the end must not be less than 20 million. This is only the number of soldiers on the front line, not counting the troops defending the various cities. ”
"Need so much?" everyone was taken aback.
"Yes, so there are far from enough soldiers right now. Within a year, you will have to send at least one million troops out of the city, can you do it?" Zhao Fei looked at Ni Peng and Yang Xun.
"Dean Zhao, this is indeed difficult. Yang Xun said with a wry smile.
"I know it's difficult, and I'll suggest that the emperor give you two nearby cities for moderation, so that the pressure will be a little less. ”
"Brother, it would be best if you could do this. As long as I draw two cities, I promise to send another 1.5 million troops. Ni Peng immediately made a guarantee.
"Well, it's enough to have your assurance. I will write to the Emperor tomorrow about this matter, and the Emperor will give you a decree. ”
The next morning, Zhao Fei handed over the written letter to Ni Peng.
"You now arrange for someone to rush to Heshuo City as quickly as possible, and hand over my letter to my father-in-law, Lin Huai, the king of Zhennan, he knows what to do. ”
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for the God Refining Realm master to rush over now. Ni Peng took the letter and immediately arranged to send it away.
"In addition to the emperor of the Blue Wolf Empire, you kid can transfer troops like this. Wu Tianming said with a smile.
"It's a thankless job, do you think I want to do it? The emperor knows it, but he doesn't operate it easily. There were some cities that he didn't understand and had flaws in commanding. ”
"Hmm. Yes, the actual situation of each city is different, and the city lord and general have different ideas. In the middle, there will be a lack of government decrees, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in apportionment. Failure to accomplish the task is a small matter, and arousing public anger is a big matter. Ni Peng knew what Zhao Fei meant.
"Zhao Fei, you won't just expect these cities to send troops, right?"
"Uncle, these cities don't have the ability to send 20 million troops, and the people can't afford it. This must be done with the help of the whole country. The emperor needs time, and we will do our best to do it for us. Zhao Fei smiled bitterly.
"Brother, what do you do next?"
"Time is pressing, I can't continue to stay here, I have to rush to Sunny City as soon as possible, I have something to find Chen Bing. ”
"Can't you stay here for a few more days?" Ni Peng was a little stunned.
"No, I have to leave tomorrow. Zhao Fei shook his head.
"Brother Ni, you don't have to be polite between us, we have time when the war is over. ”
"Well, in that case, I won't keep you, and my father will hold a family banquet for you in the evening. ”
"Uncle Ni has a treat, we have to go, this is no problem. Zhao Fei agreed.
In the evening, Ni Zhen invited Zhao Fei and others to a banquet in the mansion, and everyone talked happily for a long time.
Ni Zhen also showed enough sincerity and enthusiasm, and Wu Tianming chatted with Ni Zhen alone for a long time after the meal. They reached a consensus on the next step of in-depth cooperation.
Ni Peng filled up Zhao Fei's supplies again, and ensured that there would be no problems with eating and drinking.
The next morning, Ni Zhen, Ni Peng, and Yang Xun sent Zhao Fei and others to the gate of the city, and Zhao Fei and his party continued to march towards Yanyang Town.
"It's really a strange person, he has solved all the problems easily, which brings us a lot of convenience in the next step. Ni Peng said with emotion.
"Yes, Dean Zhao is generous and open-minded. He pretended to be this country and the people of Li in his heart. He is the lucky star of the Blue Wolf Empire and the lucky star of the people. Yang Xun has a higher opinion of him.
"Boy, you're helping the Emperor solve a big problem. Wu Tianming sat in the carriage and chatted with Zhao Fei.
"Uncle, this is all helpless. Once the war is over, I will hand over the gold medal as soon as possible. It's a hot potato, with power and trouble. ”
"Hmm. I know what you mean, it's hard for you. Wu Tianming nodded.
"The emperor can become the emperor of the ages, but he also has his own misfortunes. He is a strong father and a weak son, and although he has eight sons, none of them has any superior ability. Yang Jian is also kind-hearted, but his ability is slightly insufficient. Everything depends on the emperor himself, and it is really difficult for him. Speaking of this, Zhao Fei sighed.
"You're right, and I feel the same way. ”
"That Yang Zhen is the black sheep, he will cause great trouble for the emperor sooner or later. Sometimes I really want to slap him in the face, but I can't do that considering the emperor's feelings. ”
"You're right to do this, even if he Yang Zhen is not you, you can't kill him. No matter how much you do for the Blue Wolf Empire, no matter how rubbish he is Yang Zhen, once you kill him, you and the emperor will no longer be able to get along with each other, and it will even bring hatred. Wu Tianming agreed with Zhao Fei's view.
"He did enough to die a few times. But I can only turn a blind eye, I am helpless. After Zhao Fei finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and looked into the distance.
