Fan Shibi stood in front of the mansion and looked at Qiu Xi, who was gradually moving away, and muttered in his heart, what does Su Ang want some prisoners for? Don't you want to use these prisoners to fight? Fan Shibi just had such an idea, and then he laughed, this is absolutely impossible, these prisoners don't know how to fight, and besides, they only have a month, how can they be trained as soldiers? Even General Mo Ming, who was known as the god of war of Zhao during the time of Emperor Taizu, took six months to train a soldier who could go to battle, how could Su Ang take them to the battlefield in just one month?

Thinking of this, Fan Shibi couldn't help but shake his head, Su Ang is still too young after all, it seems that he will slowly get rid of him in the future, otherwise he will be implicated a lot, and maybe there is no future, if Su Ang can't lead the troops out after a month, it will be the crime of bullying the king, and he also wrote a military order in court, and the two crimes are counted together, even if there are two heads, they are gone.

Fan Shibi sneered and turned around and returned to the house, and saw how he would pay in a month, but the silver two subsidies that had been promised still had to be sent. As soon as he thought that the money was about to be wasted again, his heart ached, and he knew that he would not agree.

Besides, when Qiu Xiao returned to the camp, Su Ang got up and greeted him, "How?" ”

Qiu Xiao smiled, "It's done, and I promised to send some silver taels, but I just asked the general to send someone to get it." It's just that this Fan Shibi is afraid that he will make some difficulties. ”

"This matter is not difficult," Qi Sheng said calmly, "Fan Shibi has a handle in the hands of the general, forgive him and dare not speak and count, in a few days I will take someone to Fan's mansion and bring the person together with the silver taels." ”

"It's so good, my army is newly established, it is when these are lacking, I don't think this Fan Shibi will be sent, I really want to thank him."

A few people burst out laughing.

After another three days, Qi Sheng brought ten armor soldiers to Fanfu. Fan Shibi was a little confused, it wasn't this person who came three days ago, how many subordinates had gathered around Su Ang.

Qi Sheng bowed his hand, "Lord Fan, I came on the order of the general, I don't know ......"

Fan Shibi snorted and said, "Your Excellency has come to the door, let's sit down first, and let me go down to prepare?" ”

"Lord Fan is polite, just feel free." Qi Sheng looked at Fan Shibi, who walked out quickly, and sneered in his heart, and look at what you are doing.

Half an hour later, Fan Shibi finally came, and as soon as he entered the door, he clenched his fists and said, "Let the distinguished guest wait for a long time." Fan has prepared nearly 1,000 prisoners, and the distinguished guests just need to bring them, which can be regarded as solving a major matter for Fan. ”

"I'll take the general to thank Master Fan first." Qi Sheng returned the salute.

Fan Shibi asked someone to bring some food, "I don't know what General Su wants these prisoners to do?" These people want to come to General Su and know how to come. ”

Qi Sheng knew that Fan Shibi must have thought of Su Ang's intention to ask for these people, so he naturally did not hide it in the slightest, and said: "Speaking of which, I am not afraid of Lord Fan's ridicule, General Su has only recruited more than 5,000 people so far, plus the 4,000 people of the forbidden army, there is still more than 1,000 people short of enough for the 10,000 horses that the emperor said." General Su also had no way, so he thought that there were still more than a thousand people in the adult's prison, so he simply came to beg the adult. ”

"Haha, don't dare, I am an official in the same dynasty as General Su, and I should help each other, where to say what I don't want or not. General Su had any need, and Fan should do his best to help. ”

Qi Sheng was silent, saying it so nicely, but he didn't mention anything about the silver taels.

Qi Sheng was not in a hurry at all, just chatted with him casually, the atmosphere was harmonious to the extreme, the two talked and laughed, and teased each other from time to time, people who didn't know thought that this was a pair of old friends sitting together and talking about homely things.

Seeing that twilight was coming, Fan Shibi couldn't sit still, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his head.

"I don't know what else General Su needs, Fan will definitely help."

Qi Sheng secretly laughed and said: "Some time ago, the person sent by the general went back and said that Lord Fan wanted to fund some silver taels, and today I looked around the lord's mansion, and it was not gorgeous, and there was not much silver taels, but the lord never said it, it must be that person who talked nonsense casually, and when he went back, he should tell the general truthfully, so that the general would be punished, and he was about to march to war, how could there be such nonsense people around?" I won't bother Master Fan, so I'll take my leave. ”

After Qi Sheng finished speaking, he was about to go out, but Fan Shibi hurriedly said: "Sir, wait a minute, it's really Fan's fault, and your memory is not good when you are old." Fan did say that he would give General Su some meager money to reward the sergeant, if it wasn't for Mr. reminding, Fan would have done something wrong. ”

Fan Shibi's heart was dripping blood when he said this, but he was helpless, who made himself say it in the first place? If you rely on these silver today, maybe Su Ang will poke that thing out in a fit of anger, and his career will be finished, so he should break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

Fan Shibi stood up with a bitter face, "Mr. also saw it, there are still a few people waiting to eat in my mansion, and besides, I don't have much money, so I can only try my best to help General Su." I wonder how much silver General Su needs? ”

Qi Sheng made an embarrassed expression and said, "This ...... Lord Fan is so kind and virtuous that he will be a good student and listen to the general, so that the general can remember the merits of the adult. The adults also know that this training soldier needs a lot of silver taels to perfect the reward and punishment system. The general is just a five-grade lieutenant general, and his young salary is pitiful, no matter how he can't do this, how can he train soldiers well to go on the expedition? If the adults can help more than a thousand taels, it should be enough, but they don't dare to spend at will, otherwise they will fall into an embarrassment. ”

The corners of Fan Shibi's mouth twitched fiercely, this person is really a lion's mouth, although he has thousands of taels of silver in his house, but it is basically more than half of his belongings, if he gives it to Su Ang, isn't his hard work all these years in vain.

"Mr. said that he couldn't laugh, how can I have more than a thousand taels of silver in this house, you know, my money is only 200 stones, and I have to feed the people in a mansion, and I really don't have much silver in these years. In this way, how about I give General Su a hundred taels? That's almost all my possessions. Fan Shibi said with a bitter face.

Qi Sheng shook his head, "Alas, one hundred taels is really a bit less, General Su has to think about more than 10,000 soldiers, but I am afraid that he will not be able to fight and will fall short." If General Su could not win, the Manchu civil and military forces would be afraid. I've heard that the rebellion in Najiaozhou is not optimistic. Forget it, I will take my leave in the next place, and I will definitely inform the general when I go back, saying that the adult has helped me with a hundred taels of silver, and I think that General Su will come to visit the adult in the future, and I will definitely be grateful for the kindness of the adult today. ”

As soon as he thought of Su Ang, Fan Shibi came up with the scene of that day from the bottom of his heart, for some reason, he was a little afraid of Su Ang, he was as cunning as a fox at a young age, if he came to visit, he didn't know what he would do.

"This ......" Fan Shibi hesitated for a long time, and gave the thousand taels of silver like this, a little unwilling, and if he didn't give it, he was afraid that Su Ang would come to visit the mansion in person. Fan Shibi didn't know what to do for a while, and only felt that his forehead was full of sweat.

Qi Sheng smiled and looked at Fan Shibi with an embarrassed face, and only felt very happy in his heart, calling you an old fox so stingy, if he directly gave himself a few hundred taels of silver at the beginning, he would not say anything more, just take the silver and go back to pay the errand.

Fan Shibi only felt that how could these people have the same virtue as Su Ang, and it was really people who were divided into groups and things by like.

Fan Shibi hesitated for a long time before he slowly spoke: "This ...... That's it, I'll give it, but I hope that Mr. Don't tell General Su, as for General Su to visit, it's better to avoid it, and besides, the expedition is imminent, this is a major matter related to the imperial court, how can I mistake this? Otherwise, I will be a sinner for the ages. In this way, when General Su returns from the victory, I will visit him in person. ”

Qi Sheng said: "That's fine, thank Lord Fan for his kindness for the general, if you win this battle, half of the credit should be attributed to Lord Fan." That's goodbye, Lord Fan rests early. ”
