"Yes!" Zhao Chuan's excitement of agreeing, he never dreamed that this new county guard was so strong, wasn't this the adult he was looking forward to day and night!

He was excited, the other two thousand soldiers were not far behind, and they came to besiege the county capital today, and everyone was in their hearts, they had already given up their lives, and they were going to come to the county to say something! I didn't expect to get these supplies!

"Returning to your lordship! The subordinates have completed the inspection, and this time our army's materials totaled 300,000 taels of silver and 50,000 sets of armor! After some inspection, Zhao Chuan came to recover excitedly.

"Yes!" Lu Chen looked calm and calm, waved his big hand, and left directly.

The value of one tael of silver in this world, if converted to modern times, is equivalent to about a thousand yuan now. Don't look at such a huge amount of 300,000 taels, but there are 30,000 defenders in the border city, and if they really want to distribute it to the soldiers, each person will only be about ten taels of silver, about 10,000 yuan.

Through Zhao Chuan, I learned that the border army had not paid military salaries for half a year......

Seeing Lu Chen pull boxes of supplies from himself, it is simply impossible to say that Liu Feng is not distressed, I don't know how long he has been 'saving money' to accumulate, Lu Chen this time, it is like cutting meat on him with a knife, but now he is helpless to take Lu Chen.

After Lu Chen and his entourage left with the supplies, the old housekeeper of the county capital cautiously stepped forward and said tentatively beside Liu Feng: "My lord, Lu County is so bold that he dares to commit such a crime, it is a full 300,000 taels of silver......

The more he said this, the more distressed Liu Feng became, and hurriedly said, "Quick! Go and call General Qin! ”

The general Qin in his mouth, whose name is Qin Long, is the chief soldier of the Pingyang County Army.

The place where the county army was stationed was not very far from the county capital, and the housekeeper understood what he meant, and after answering the yes, he prepared to go to the county army to intercept Lu Chen.

But as soon as the butler's front foot stepped out, and before he took two steps, Liu Feng hurriedly stopped him again, waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate... No, you better go and ask Mr. Zhang to come over. ”

Seeing that Liu Feng suddenly changed his attention, the housekeeper was unwilling to say: "My lord! Lu Chen and the others, lawless, if they are allowed to leave......"

Before the butler's words were finished, Liu Feng interrupted him with one hand and said impatiently: "If you want to go, you will go!" What to do, this official doesn't need you to teach you! ”

"Yes, yes!" The housekeeper was startled, didn't dare to say more, and quickly turned around and trotted all the way out of the county capital. It didn't take long for the housekeeper of the county capital to lead a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar into the mansion.

In the study, after the maids helped Liu Feng and the visitors make tea, they were sent out by Liu Feng with a wave of his hand.

After taking a sip of tea, Liu Feng first sighed lightly, then looked at the middle-aged man sitting next to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, the official asked the housekeeper to invite Mr. over late at night, I really have something to ask Mr. Yu... Presumably, Steward Liu has already told Mr. what happened on the way......"

"Yes, my lord, the villain already knows what happened, but I don't know, what the adult means......" The middle-aged man asked tentatively.

This person's name is Zhang Tao, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, two mustaches on his lips, and a folding fan in his hand.

Zhang Tao's stomach is barely a little learned, but this person is a very sinister character, the kind of cunning villain who can reckless of any consequences for his own interests, and most of his cleverness and knowledge are used in this.

Although Zhang Tao is insidious, he is Liu Feng's henchman, and the latter has always regarded him as his own think tank, and if he encounters any ideas that he can't grasp, he will also come to Zhang Tao to discuss, and Liu Feng has always respected Zhang Tao's opinion. It can also be said that Zhang Tao is Liu Feng's dog-headed military advisor.

After learning that Zhang Tao already knew the reason, Liu Feng stopped talking nonsense and said straight to the point: "Sir, although I can charge Lu Chen and others with rebellion today, and mobilize the county army to wipe out their troops, you also know ......"

He deliberately didn't finish his words, because he knew that Zhang Tao would definitely understand what he meant and what he was worried about.

Sure enough, after listening to this, Zhang Tao smiled leisurely and said: "The adult's concerns and the villain understand that the adult did not order General Qin to mobilize the county army to intercept Lu Chen, and it is also right. Because judging from Lu Chen's previous performance, once the adult goes to suppress him on the charge of treason, he will definitely fight back, and in this way, the matter will be big......"

Seeing that Liu Feng just listened and didn't speak, Zhang Tao knew that he was on the point, and he continued: "Lu Chen has just arrived in the border city and has been in office for less than a day, if the adults say that he is rebelling, I'm afraid no one will believe it, and it is not easy for the court to explain, and the upper authorities will definitely send someone to investigate." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Tao leaned forward, and his voice suddenly lowered: "What's more... The previous county guard king had just died, and if Lu Chen died again as soon as he took office, then ......"

After a pause, he sat up straight again, and arched his hand: "So my subordinates think that it is right for my lord not to transfer the county army to block it." ”

Liu Feng nodded while listening, it seems that his think tank is still very good, and he can understand the worries and concerns in his heart, fortunately, he didn't act impulsively at the beginning, otherwise, he really wants to make a big fuss, and after the above is traced, I am afraid that what he did in the past may be turned out, then at that time, he will have ten heads, and I am afraid that he will not be able to keep it.

He rubbed his hands, still a little unwillingly, and said, "What Mr. said, I also know." I thought that this new border city county guard Lu Chen was also a soft persimmon like the previous county guard, but who would have thought that this guy would be so bold and dare to openly lead troops to besiege the capital of our county! This... This is a robber! "It's incredible! He added in his heart.

"Your Excellency is reluctant to give up those supplies?" Zhang Tao asked with a smile.

"That's a full 300,000 taels of silver and 50,000 sets of armaments!" Liu Feng said distressedly.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao rolled his eyes and said, "If the adults want to recover these materials, it is not impossible. ”

Hearing this, Liu Feng suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What is the best plan for the gentleman? ”

"Adults can use the old way!" Zhang Tao said word by word.

"What do you mean, sir... Let Wu Yue lead the horse bandits to snatch the supplies in the middle of the road? Liu Feng smiled bitterly.

In the past, Zhang Tao helped him come up with a strategy, used horse bandits to intercept materials, and then sent them back as they were, and then reported to the court again, asking the court to allocate silver, as for suppressing bandits, it was not up to him to have the final say.
