Chapter 202: Requisition
Pei Zilie bowed slightly: "It must be General Fan Zhonglang, I am tired from afar, and I want to enter the city to rest, and I have disturbed General Zhonglang, but I want to compensate General Zhonglang." ”
"Where, everyone's for Da Chen, General Pei, please!" Fan Changpi said with a smile, "A few generals, please!" ”
Pei Zilie was not interested in this kind of false greetings, and even a little disgusted, so seeing that this Fan Chang didn't mean much greetings, he naturally followed him.
The reconstruction and development of public security is only a matter of the thirty years since the founding of Nanchen, so the entire city cannot be compared with Jiankang and the rest of the Jiangnan capitals, but it is still one of the largest towns in Jingzhou.
After all, this kind of city located on the front line, the city is compact, and the high city walls are obviously more conducive to defense, and Zhongli, the important town of Nanchen in Huainan, is obviously also of a similar structure. Of course, compared with Zhongli, the public security as the seat of Jingzhou County is obviously larger in scale, and the city is also more prosperous.
There was already a large camp for the Jingzhou army in the city, because the main force had been taken away by Fan Yi, but the barracks were vacated at this time, and there was no need for Pei Zilie to camp them outside the city. While asking his subordinates to arrange for the army to be stationed, Fan Chang invited Pei Zilie and others to go directly to the mansion.
"My subordinates have set up a feast, and I respectfully invite a few generals to go." The smile on Fan Chang's face is a bit hypocritical no matter how you look at it, but this is not a bad thing, if he can really show a sincere smile, then it will make Li Xinchen and them worried.
"The public security ordered Qi Zhang to see General Dianwei." A civilian official has long been waiting outside the palace, and in the entire public security city, there is only this Qi Zhangqi Lord who is qualified to sit on an equal footing with General Dianwei, "General Dianwei, please." “
This Qi Zhang's square face is an honest man at first glance, and at this time he is obviously a little nervous, he is an out-and-out civil official, and he is not a confidant of Fan Yi, the main task in this public security city is to deal with the people's livelihood, take care of trivial matters everywhere, and even the grain and grass of the army do not need him to worry about.
This is also why it was Fan Chang who patrolled the city tower instead of him, obviously on the one-acre and three-third of land in this public security city, it was Fan Chang who had the final say.
However, Qi Zhang was able to get to this position step by step, and he was definitely not a completely honest person, although he didn't know very well what contradictions there were between the two great gods Xiao Maha and Fan Yi, as well as the small gods such as Fan Chang and Pei Zilie in front of him, but he was now extremely clear that he had been unconsciously caught in the middle.
According to his official position, Pei Zilie should be on an equal footing with Qi Zhang, but after all, Qi Zhang is the master, so he can only sit on the main seat tremblingly. On Qi Zhang's side, Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen obviously sat down in a good time, and on their other side, Fan Chang and several other accompanying lords and generals in the city were like great enemies.
"This time, the general was ordered by General Zuo Wei to go north to attack Jiangling, passing by the public security, the brothers were tired all the way, so they had to go into the city to disturb, and please Brother Qi and General Fan not be surprised." Pei Zilie said in an official tone, obviously not planning to talk nonsense, "Most of you are martial artists in the army, and it doesn't hurt to say some things directly, this time we came out in a hurry, and we didn't carry much grain and grass, I'm afraid we will have to bother General Fan to help." ”
Fan Chang's face suddenly sank, and he sighed in his heart, sure enough, it was not good. And Qi Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, Pei Zilie came up and went directly to Fan Chang, indicating that Pei Zilie had already seen that Fan Chang was the real talker, but it made Qi Zhang a lot less trouble.
"This is natural, please rest assured General Dianwei," Fan Chang said in a deep voice, but he quickly changed his words, "But there are a few things that must be told to General Dianwei first." ”
Xiao Shilian suddenly raised his eyebrows, and was about to stand up by holding down the table, but he was quickly grabbed by Li Xinchen's eyes: "Listen to him first, and see what you can say." ”
"This time, Jingzhou Thorn Shi led the soldiers stationed in Jingzhou to Yidu and took away most of the grain and grass in the city, and secondly, the last general is just a lieutenant general, although there is not much grain and grass left in the public security city, and the last general does not have the courage to directly transfer it to the general, I am afraid that after the last general asks for instructions from Jingzhou Thorn History, he can rely on the order of Jingzhou Thorn Shi to act at the opportunity." Fan Chang said slowly, and his eyes did not have the slightest respect for his boss as a subordinate, but were full of provocative looks.
Li Xinchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, this Fan Chang can be regarded as loyal to Fan Yi, but at this time, he is a little unsure of what to look at. And Xiao Shilian ignored Li Xinchen's obstruction at this time, and slapped the table suddenly:
"The surname is Fan, General Dianwei and I are on the orders of General Zuowei, according to His Majesty's holy decree, the entire state capital in Jingzhou should obey General Zuowei's orders, and now you have also seen the order, do you want to resist the decree?!"
Xiao Shilian slapped the table, which did not scare Fan Chang, but Qi Zhang, who had been sitting in the upper seat and did not dare to speak, was frightened, and hurriedly stood up and waved his hand again and again: "Hey, please calm down, a few generals, everyone is a brother under the banner of Da Chen, why should you attract the disaster of the brothers for this little thing!" ”
"Boqing, you sit down first." Pei Zilie said in a deep voice. And Li Xinchen also reached out and pulled Xiao Shilian's sleeve hard.
Xiao Shilian sat down with a snort.
Fan Chang on the opposite side said at this time:
"Maybe it was because I didn't make it clear just now, a few generals didn't know, this Jingzhou is the front line of the army, and there have been frequent confrontations with the Northern Zhou barbarians and the Western Liang people over the years, and the two sides have never been less tense, so just in case, the hoarding of grain and grass in these important towns is directly under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Thorn History······"
After a pause, Fan Chang turned to look at Qi Zhang: "That is to say, neither the last general nor the Lord Qi is qualified to directly allocate grain and grass to the generals, but please rest assured that the last general will report this matter to the Jingzhou Thorn History now, presumably with the general order of the Left Guard General, the Jingzhou Thorn History will definitely agree." Lord Qi, what do you say? ”
Qi Zhang suddenly complained bitterly, the truth is this truth, but who cares about these rules when there is a real war, now this is clearly Fan Chang wants to embarrass Pei Zilie and them, if he Qi Zhang agrees, it will offend Pei Zilie, if he does not agree, it will offend Fan Chang, or even the entire Fan family, no matter which side it is, he can't afford to offend.
But fortunately, Li Xinchen didn't wait for Qi Zhang to speak, so he slowly said: "Since this is the case, I will also ask Zhonglang to hurry up, this place is not far from Yidu, and the correspondence is only a day or two, so we can repair some first." ”
"Shizhong, you ······" Xiao Shilian suddenly frowned.
