Chapter 31: The flattering Chen Yuan
The biggest white-faced villain confessed at the right time, and the hall regained a sense of harmony. In the following time, under the premise that Chen Yuan sent troops three days later, Wang Fuzi, Zhao Zhong and others competed with the entourage brought by Xie Dingyi and Lin to discuss the number of troops, weapons and combat equipment, and logistics supply. Chen Yuan took Xie Dingyi and Lin Qian out of the hall and looked around the camp.
The three of them came down in a rough circle in the camp, and the hall had already agreed on it. Three days later, Chen Yuan led 500 people to go in advance, and after a certain amount of training, the township soldiers to be conscripted gathered another 1,000 people went to Anren. The Shinshu Treasury will do its best to provide a batch of weapons for the Hekou Township soldiers, including 200 battle jackets, 20 collars of fish scale armor, 50 pot helmets, 50 crossbow machines, 200 swords, 200 regimental plates, and 200 spears. The rest is provided by the estuary battalion. The silver was self-raised, and the state capital provided food and grass for the soldiers.
Chen Yuan took the agreement handed over by Wang Fuzi, and after a cursory glance, he agreed. This time, it was an accident to be able to obtain some equipment from the state capital, but what Chen Yuan valued the most was the recruitment of the Leadshan Township Soldiers, and in the future, he could recruit the Township Soldiers in the name of the Leadshan Township Soldiers.
After the matter of Lead Mountain was settled, Lin signed and Xie Dingyi prepared to return to the state city, and Chen Yuan, as the new commander of the lead mountain township soldiers, naturally went with him to meet Lord Xie and his bosses in the state city.
Lin and Xie took a boat when they came, and then took a boat back to the city, but it was against the current. In order to rush back to the state city as soon as possible, Lin and Xie chose to return to the city by land
Chen Yuan pulled out two more horses borrowed from the Zhao family from the camp, asked Lin to sign the judge, Xie Dingyi to ride, and rode a donkey himself, and asked Zheng Daniu, a northerner, to take some people to the state capital together.
The group rushed to the state capital near evening. Chen Yuan saw that it was getting late, so he had to ask Lin to sign the sentence and Xie Dingyi to inform the sentencing adults, and lead the entourage to the inn to rest first.
As soon as he was settled in the inn, Chen Yong, who rushed to the state city in advance, touched in.
"How's it going in the state?"
"Xie Fangde handed over the miscellaneous affairs in the state to Kong Zhu for disposal, so that people took over the treasury of the state and the Xiang army, and these days have been preparing to send troops to Anren, three days later, the general Xiang army of 1,000 people, 2,000 township soldiers, sent troops as scheduled."
"Oh. What about those adults in the state city? ”
"Most of the officials in the state are not optimistic about Xie Fang's trip. It's just that now Xie Fang is strong, and they don't dare to speak. In the past two days, there have even been rumors in the state city that Sun Zhu is unwell and has neglected official business, and entrusted the official affairs of the general judgment to Zheng Chou. ”
"Zheng Chou?"
"The original Pingjiang Mansion was sentenced, last year the Yuan army came to Pingjiang Mansion, Zheng Chou abandoned the city and fled to Lin'an, and the court did not investigate the crime of abandoning the official and losing the land, but only demoted him. Because he had an old relationship with Chen Yi, he came back this time and came to Xinzhou with Xie Fangde. Kong Zhu intends to resign, and it seems that Xie Fangde also intends to let him take over the post of general judge. Chen Yong introduced.
"Hmph, he's also a soft bone, so you should pay more attention to his movements in the future." Chen Yuan said disdainfully.
"Don't worry, my lord, every move in this city can't escape our eyes." Chen Yong said with a smile.
"We also have to send people outside of Xinzhou, especially in the direction of Jiangzhou, Raozhou, and Fuzhou. In the event of a major war, the enemy's troops, movements, food, grass, equipment, etc., as well as the collection of geographical maps in various places, were very important. ”
"Raozhou and Fuzhou have already sent people over. I'm afraid there are some difficulties on the Jiangzhou side. After all, that side is now Meng Yuan's world. ”
"In the state city, isn't there someone who wants to go to Jiujiang to contact the Lu family? They can go, why can't we? Chen Yuan said lightly.
"Your Excellency is saying that we are going to Jiangzhou through someone in the state?"
"There should be such people, right?"
"Hehe, quite a bit. Not to mention others, it was the dog official surnamed Tong, who couldn't wait for Lu Wenhuan to come to Xinzhou immediately, and it was estimated that it was indispensable to contact Jiangzhou Lu Thief. Chen Yong said with a smile.
"You can plan this slowly. When it comes to intelligence, make more preparations, spread more nets, and you can always use it. Send more people out these days, but always be cautious. The most important thing in espionage is to abide by the rules and discipline. The person who is sent must not be horizontally contacted, in case it is a big thing because of one person. In the state city, our population must also be hidden, and we can only contact each other in a single line, so as to prevent being caught all by others. ”
"Yes."
Chen Yuan nodded, this Chen Yong still has some spy potential, he has learned a little bit of things from the spy warfare in later generations, and when he mentions it roughly, he can always understand it, and he is like a fish in water in this mixed Xinzhou City. This kid is loyal to himself, and he can be groomed to be a king of agents like Dai Li.
…….
Early the next morning, a state yayu waited to come to invite him, saying that Lord Xie had summoned him. Chen Yuan asked Zheng Daniu to accompany the two of them, and let the others wait in the store. Then he and the Yu Hou went out of the inn.
"My lord, where is this Lord Xie now?" Seeing that Yu Hou led himself in the direction of the state government, Chen Yuan asked.
"Then it is, why do you need to talk so much." That Yu Hou's expression was a little cold.
"The people of the mountains and wilderness, I don't know how to count etiquette, please forgive Lord Yuhou." Chen Yuan smiled, took a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, and secretly handed it over.
Na Yu Hou took it with one hand, checked it, and put it in his arms, with a smile on his face, "The commander of the prefecture is young and promising, gentle and polite, righteous and squandering money, but he is very famous today. ”
"Chen's vulgar person, how can he be so praised by Lord Yuhou. In the future, I hope that Lord Yu Hou will give advice. Chen Yuan arched his hand.
"Well said, well said. The Punishment Master attaches great importance to Commander Chen, and in the future, he will have to take care of his brother more. That Yu Hou smiled.
Phew, I'll take care of you eating knives. Chen Yuan smacked in his heart, but his face was even more enthusiastic, and he praised it numbly: "What did Lord Yu Hou say?" There is a way to be a seven-grade official in front of the prime minister, Lord Yu Hou is a confidant of an adult, if the younger brother can be taken care of by an adult, it is a blessing that Chen has cultivated in his previous life. If Lord Yu does not give up, Chen Yuan will act as a brother. I don't know my eldest brother's surname? ”
"Well said, well said. A certain surname Luo, whose name is diving, is now being sentenced to adulthood. In the future, they will all be a family, and the virtuous brother does not need to be polite. ”
"The eldest brother is above, please accept the younger brother's worship. If the eldest brother has a place to use the younger brother in the future, the water in the water and the fire in the fire, all the eldest brother needs to say a word. Chen Yuan arched his hand.
"Haha. Brother Chen Xian is a person of interest, so support each other. Na Yu Hou smirked.
"Thank you, big brother."
"Haha, why be polite. Summoned by the adults, let's go quickly. ”
For a while, the two were very enthusiastic.
"Brother Luo, isn't this Lord Xie in the state government?"
"The Punishment Lord was worried about state affairs, and soon led the troops to Anren. The affairs of the state were entrusted to Sun Tongju. The state government has not been in for a day, and has been staying in the box barracks in the east of the city these days. We'd better get there sooner. ”
"Oh." For a moment, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the camp of the Xiangjun army in the east of the city.
