In order to defend the city, Wang Xuan mobilized all the available soldiers in the city, even the private soldiers of the families in the city did not let go, so he could hold on for so long. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although those families don't take Wang Xuan in their eyes, but the Qingzhou Yellow Turban soldiers are coming to the city, if the city is broken, they will definitely not be able to get any benefits, so naturally they have the money to contribute and the strength to contribute.

However, if these families are really all taken out, it is impossible, after all, no one knows what will happen in the end, and every family basically hides some private soldiers, in order to be able to play some useful role at the last moment.

In the end, Zhou Cang asked Wang Xuan to take him to visit various families, concentrated these remaining troops, and finally pieced together a few hundred people.

"But, my lord...", glancing lightly at the captain, seeing that he was far away, it was unlikely that he could hear the conversation, Zhou Cang continued. I'm a little worried, then Wang Xuan is afraid that he won't hand over the remuneration so easily..."

The gentleman is in righteousness, and the villain is in profit...

But anyone who claims to be a gentleman usually doesn't talk about these things.

However, Zhou Cang was born recklessly, he may be called a hero, but it is difficult to be called a gentleman, so he naturally will not be taboo about these, in his opinion, he has helped others, so it is natural to ask for some compensation.

"Oh?" Yan Shao was a little surprised and glanced at Zhou Cang. "Why?"

"After I arrived in Linji with Mr. Zhang, Lord Wang heard about the reward promised to the lord, and he was furious, and even the other officials on the side were unhappy, but the situation was forcing at that time, so he had to agree, but now that this Deng An's department has been exterminated, and the danger of breaking the city has been solved, is this Lord Wang still willing to hand over the reward..."

It's no wonder that Zhou Cang would look at it this way, but he really didn't have a good impression of the people in these official mansions, and he would follow the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao at the beginning, but a big factor was that he was forced to go to Liangshan.

Yan Shao also groaned, but this was something he didn't expect, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile. "But you are too worried about this, the so-called promise of a thousand gold, I believe that Wang Xuan should not be treacherous, not to mention..."

The smile on Yan Shao's face turned cold.

"What's more, in this Qingzhou, there is not only one Deng An..."

That Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe has almost done nothing in office, which can be seen from the chaos in Qingzhou, otherwise how could Donglai County be idle and have nothing to do with him?

Deng An, who has been exterminated now, is just a larger group of Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, that's all...

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

After packing up the spoils a little and leaving some men by the way, Yan Shao followed the rest of the men and horses to Linji.

At this time, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans that were still surrounding Linji had already dispersed, after all, Deng An was already dead, wouldn't they continue to keep it to bury Deng An, but after they escaped, what was left behind was a mess.

As the seat of Le'an County, Linji can be regarded as the largest city in Le'an County, even if it cannot be compared with Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, it is more or less a prosperous city. But today's Linji is not prosperous at all.

Outside the city, there were large areas of dead corpses, which were not very wide moats, and they were filled with corpses by the invading Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. Those corpses were dead and unsightly, although they were far away, Yan Shao could still see them clearly.

"This is the troubled times, the troubled times where human life is not as good as dogs..."Shaking his head, Yan Shao continued to walk in the direction of the city gate, where Wang Xuan and his party had been waiting for a long time.

In the face of the savior of the entire Linji, Wang Xuan was naturally very affectionate, and in addition to the officials, there were also people from the families in the city.

"Thank you Yan Yuanjun for saving my whole city from fire and water..."Yan Shao had just come off the horse, and Wang Xuan had already bowed deeply.

"How dare you..."Yan Shao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wang Xuan up. Shao is a Han official and eats Han Lu, how can he sit idly by..."

In fact, Wang Xuan himself was not so excited, he was hugged by Yan Shao, and he did not continue to bow down, but said to Yan Shao. "Now that the palace has prepared a banquet, please go with the envoys, please!"

"Please!" Yan Shao was not hypocritical, and said directly.

The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, although the outside has just been besieged for a while, but this time the wine banquet is very rich.

Yan Shao's age during the banquet surprised everyone present, and the bravery of Tai Shici, Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and others was even more shocking.

Seeing Guan Hai showing off the wounds on his body through wine, Wang Xuan and the others were amazed again and again, and some timid officials even covered their eyes and didn't dare to look more.

"What a warrior!"

Yan Shao smiled slightly, and didn't say much, until Guan Hai, Zhou Cang and the others were rewarded with a lot of wine, which made them enjoy drinking very much.

After three rounds of drinking, with a drunken red face, Wang Xuan also revealed his true purpose.

"Lichen, this time Le'an was able to escape the catastrophe, and the whole city is really grateful for the great virtue of the envoy. It's just that Le'an is not a wealthy county, and this time it has just suffered a military disaster, and the eight thousand stone grain and one hundred and fifty war horses promised to the envoy are only afraid that it will be difficult to get together..."

Everyone in the hall fell silent, especially the officials who were happy.

It can't be helped, because all this is at stake in their vital interests.

At the beginning, Wang Xuan promised 10,000 stone of grain, in fact, it made them very painful, this is nothing, but Yan Shao proposed another 150 war horses, you must know that the most inferior war horse is equivalent to 90 or even 100 stone of grain, one hundred and fifty horses, even if some of the inferior war horses are selected, it is enough to make them bankrupt...

So after Zhang Nian agreed to Yan Shao's conditions, he came back and was almost spit on by everyone with a spittle star.

Of course, in the case that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban has not been resolved, they do not dare to repay the debt. But now that Deng An has been ambushed, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban surrounding the city has also been resolved, so...

"Is it possible to discuss?"

Hearing this, Yan Shao couldn't help but glance at Zhou Cang, because this was exactly the same as what Zhou Cang was worried about before.

Seeing that Yan Shao hadn't spoken, Wang Xuan was a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing how Yan Shao would answer.

"Lord Wang..."Yan Shao sighed lightly. The 8,000 grains and 150 war horses were personally promised by the envoy sent by your county, is your county planning to go back on its word..."

"This..."Wang Xuan was dumbfounded.

is also a member of the family, and in this era, it is about a promise, and the reputation of breaking a promise is really not very good.

At this time, a member of the Le'an family stood up. "That agreement was originally proposed by your county while the fire was looting, and it was not Lord Wang who agreed, so how can it be called a backtracking!"

As soon as this remark came out, it attracted a burst of echoes.

Even if the eight thousand grains of grain are forgotten, it is not impossible for them to get together one by one, but the one hundred and fifty war horses...

That really hurts them...

Knowing from Zhou Cang's mouth how these people pushed back at the beginning, Tai Shici was already a little unpleasant to them, but now he couldn't help but drink it.

"It was your county who came to ask for help, so how can it be called a robbery while the fire is burning."

"Not bad! If you hadn't begged for you, how would we have come all the way from Beihai to help? Guan Hai, who was eating wine, couldn't help but say loudly.

Hearing this, several Le'an generals in the banquet couldn't help but look at the past, but they didn't want to be glared at by Guan Hai, and they didn't dare to move in horror.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xuan smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect the generals under his command to be so useless.

Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, he heard Yan Shao holding a wine glass next to him, as if he was understating. "Now although Deng An is excepted, the main force of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou has not lost much, and there are many attacks on the counties of Qingzhou, this time Shao Qin led a large army to relieve the siege of Le'an, and the sergeants under his command were killed and wounded, if they could not fulfill their promises, how to unify the army? I'm afraid that the prince will also be infamous for being ungrateful, and I hope the prince will think twice..."

Although the words are understated, the threat in them is that Wang Xuan and the others stiffened...
