Chapter 786: It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice
"If the Jinling Infantry Army does not show any hostility towards us, we should not take the initiative to attack the Jinling Infantry Army, otherwise, we will fall into the tongue and be charged with attacking friendly forces." A hint of contemplation appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, and he said slowly with a hint of calmness.
"The strength of the Jinling infantry army is not weak, with our existing strength, we may not be able to gnaw this hard bone, and the last general really does not want to see the Jinling infantry army show enough hostility towards us." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a helpless smile flashed in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, although the Great Xia Royal Army completely crushed the Jinling Infantry Army with the same strength, but it was only on a small scale, and Lai Junji was too proud, being able to defeat the Jinling Infantry Army with the same strength did not mean that the Jinling Infantry Army could be completely trampled underfoot.
"Although the bones of the Jinling Infantry Army are hard, but our teeth are sharper, this bone will definitely be gnawed off, but I am worried that Yin Shaotang will force you to join the Jinling Infantry Army in the name of official positions, Luo Yuhui has used this before, but I didn't expect it to be countercalculated by me, Yin Shaotang is not Luo Yuhui, and it is not easy to calculate him." When Shen Yan said this, a touch of contemplation and helplessness appeared in his eyes.
"Fortunately, there are still a few days before you lead the army to Changdong County, and it is not an overnight thing for Feng Changrong to prepare three months of military rations, so you can take advantage of the family in the past few days to think about how to deploy in order to reverse calculate Yin Shaotang, and before you leave for Changdong County, we will discuss it again."
"What? Shen Yan actually asked me to prepare three months' worth of military rations, didn't he know the situation in Wuzhou Mansion, the people couldn't fill their stomachs, and how could they collect three months' worth of military rations. Feng Changrong Zhen leaned on the leg of his favorite concubine, enjoying the comfort that the concubine brought to him, and the housekeeper said that Pei Xiangdong had come to inform him to prepare three months' worth of military rations within ten days, Feng Changrong suddenly felt a nameless fire, isn't this obviously difficult for a strong man.
"Are the people who came leaving?" Feng Changrong held back the anger in his heart and asked loudly.
"Back to my lord, the person who came said that I wanted to talk to the adult about this in person, and get an exact reply from the adult." There was a hint of surprise in the housekeeper's eyes, who doesn't know that Wuzhou Mansion is almost the largest official position of his own adult, and they all say that his own lord is about to become the same governor of Wuzhou Mansion, which is a great news, but there are still people who dare to talk to their own adults like this, but it makes the housekeeper feel surprised.
"Someone who came wants to tell the official in person?" Hearing the housekeeper's words, Feng Changrong's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise, Feng Changrong knew in his heart that the people around Shen Yan were a group of martial artists, but Huang Weiqian, who had dealt with him before, was considered a cultural person, but this time he did not return to Wuzhou Mansion with Shen Yan, I heard that he was arranged by Shen Yan to work temporarily by the side of the Eighteen Princes, could it be that there was a martial artist outside? If he is really a martial artist, he is really bitter and can't say clearly, just as the so-called show meets soldiers, it can't be explained clearly.
"You bring the people to the hall, and the officer will arrive later." Feng Changrong couldn't figure out who the visitor was, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he motioned for the housekeeper to take the person to the hall to wait.
"Master, who is so bold to ask the master to talk in person, who doesn't know that the master is about to become the master of Tongzhi, this is too bad to give the master face." A touch of coquettishness appeared in the concubine's eyes, and she gently kneaded Feng Changrong's shoulder, like a massage, as if hinting at something.
"If you don't understand big things, don't worry about it, and when the master comes back, I will fight you for three hundred rounds." Feeling the hint of meaning coming from the tips of the concubine's fingers, a fierce thought appeared in Feng Changrong's eyes, and he couldn't wait to fight with the concubine for three hundred rounds now, but when he thought of the person who came, Feng Changrong felt a headache, and three months of military ration were not so easy to get.
"It turned out that Mr. Pei Qian was here, and the officials couldn't welcome him from afar, and I hope Mr. Pei Qian doesn't mind." When Feng Changrong walked into the hall, he saw that it was Pei Xiangdong, the first general beside Shen Yan, who was coming in person, and a deep surprise appeared in his eyes, and the matter of ordering him to collect military rations actually made the first general under Shen Yan come forward in person, whether this was distrust of himself, or this matter was particularly important, Feng Changrong suddenly couldn't figure out Shen Yan's intention to do this.
"I'm disturbing Lord Feng's rest, and I hope Lord Feng won't take it to heart." Seeing the smile on Feng Changrong's face, Pei Xiangdong had a faint smile on his face, although Pei Xiangdong has always had high requirements for himself and is a pure soldier, but he was born in a family like the Pei family, Pei Xiangdong was exposed to it, and he didn't feel that there was a problem in dealing with people like Feng Changrong, but Pei Xiangdong was unwilling to do it on weekdays.
"The last general came to inform Lord Feng on the order of my family, and asked Lord Feng to collect three months' military rations in the shortest possible time, so as to prepare for the next military operation of my Great Xia Royal Army and servant army."
"Mr. Pei Qian, it's not that the lower officials don't want to take this, let alone want to refute Lord Shen's face, it's just that the situation in Wuzhou Mansion is very difficult, and there are many people in the city who have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and it is really not easy to raise so much military food at once." A wry smile appeared on Feng Changrong's face, if it was someone else, Feng Changrong would definitely be able to find a way to persuade the other party, but in the face of Pei Xiangdong, an existence second only to Shen Yan, Feng Changrong did not have the slightest confidence in his heart, even so, Feng Changrong had already tried to show his difficulties, so as to win Pei Xiangdong's sympathy.
"Lord Feng, the last general can feel Lord Feng's difficulties, but please also feel our difficulties, my family did not give this order to fill the stomach of the Great Xia Royal Army and the servant army, but to need them to fight with real knives and guns, if they can't even fill their stomachs, how can they have the luxury of killing the enemy bravely after they go to the battlefield?" With a faint smile in Pei Xiangdong's eyes, he glanced at Feng Changrong lightly and said slowly.
"My family is very aware of the situation in Wuzhou Mansion, however, the next big war is about to break out, and at the same time, my family also believes in Lord Feng's ability, Lord Feng has served as the chief secretary of Wuzhou Mansion for so many years, and he will definitely be able to think of a way to solve and deal with this problem, otherwise, my family will not be so enthusiastic to recommend Lord Feng to the position of Tongzhi."
"Xiaguan thanks Lord Shen for his attention and recommendation, but Xiaguan is really powerless in this matter, and Xiaguan is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice." A complicated look appeared in Feng Changrong's eyes, Pei Xiangdong is worthy of being second only to Shen Yan, he is indeed not easy to deal with, he racked his brains and couldn't convince the other party, and he was almost defeated by the other party.
"If Lord Feng says so, then the last general will not be able to say, after the last general goes back, he will truthfully report the situation of coming to visit Lord Feng this time, as for whether Lord Feng can take the position of Tongzhi, it is estimated that my family will not be able to help, after all, my family will have to spare more time and energy to raise military rations, so there is no time to recommend Lord Feng." The corners of Pei Xiangdong's mouth raised slightly, with an inexplicable smile.
