Chapter 45: The Judgment of the Century

"I fell for Yu Minzhi, right?" Halfway through, Zhong Lei couldn't help but confirm with Zhang Song.

"I almost fell for it." Zhang Song smiled and said, "Because Qingsong Valley no longer sends you to buy grain." ”

"Isn't it better to buy food? It's an easy job. Zhong Lei was still a little skeptical, "It's even more difficult to raise food by yourself." ”

"Buying grain is a trap, I estimate that there is not much money left in the valley, and the grain purchased is definitely not enough to solve the threat of Qingsong Valley, besides, do you know what the price of grain is now?"

"I don't know, I've been in the valley for the past few years, and I haven't handled these things, so I don't know."

"I guess you don't know, Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang will choose you to buy grain, they know the price of grain and the money in the valley best, they only need to give you a little money, and then accuse you of corruption, it is enough to ask for your head, and at the same time calm the dissatisfaction of everyone in the valley."

"I can't imagine that my head is so valuable, so that the two of them will never forget it!" Zhong Lei touched his head self-deprecatingly and said with a smile.

"Your head is very valuable, you must protect it, don't let people cheat you." Zhang Song said jokingly.

Zhong Lei laughed and said, "With Zhang Jun here, it's not so easy for them to take my head!" ”

Zhang Song and Zhong Lei talked and laughed for a while, Zhong Lei's face returned to normal, there was no longer embarrassment, and the atmosphere between the two was no longer embarrassing.

"I don't understand a little, and I ask Zhang Jun for advice." A voice sounded behind Zhang Song and Zhong Lei, "Running out of food is a big deal at any time, why don't Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang seem to pay much attention to it?" ”

Zhang Song and Zhong Lei were taken aback, turned around, and asked, "Chang Shen, why did you come with me quietly?" ”

"I just caught up, I wanted to say hello to you, but seeing that the two of you are talking so warmly, I am embarrassed to disturb, and I ask you two to forgive me."

"It's okay, speaking of which, you are also your own person, but your sudden speech startled me, and a person suddenly appeared behind me, I thought it was a fairy who appeared." Zhang Song joked and reached out to pat Chang Shen's shoulder.

Seeing that Zhang Song still had the heart to joke, Chang Shen relaxed because of the nervousness that came presumptuously, and he also asked with a smile: "Zhang Jun, why do you say this?" ”

Chang Shen's words suddenly pulled Zhang Song and Zhong Lei to the beginning of the question, Zhang Song frowned and said, "This is also what I don't understand." ”

"Could it be that Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang didn't take this seriously at all?" Zhong Lei said.

"Impossible!" Zhang Song and Chang Shen shook their heads in denial almost at the same time.

"It's impossible!" As soon as Zhong Lei said that, he realized that he was thinking badly.

"That is, there is only one possibility left, Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang have another channel to get food!" Chang Shen said.

"That's how it should be." Zhang Song nodded in agreement, "It's just that what channels do they have to get food?" Do you two know? ”

"I don't know." Chang Shen and Zhang Lei shook their heads together.

"It is necessary for us to send someone to figure out the channels for Yu Minzhi and Zhou Fang to raise food." Zhang Song said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll send someone to spy on this right away." Zhong Lei quickly agreed, "It's time to get to the house, let's go in first and talk about it again." ”

"Hey, rare guest, the intestines are here!" As soon as Chang Shen followed Zhang Song and Zhong Lei into the house, Fang Tao saw Chang Shen and said in surprise.

"Don't call me intestines! Otherwise, I'll turn my face. Chang Shen said seriously.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I got a little carried away with joy as soon as you came, and I promise not to call you intestines again." Fang Tao hurriedly said, and at the same time beckoned the three of them to sit down.

Zhang Song was a little surprised, Fang Tao, a hot-tempered person, would actually apologize?

The three of them sat down, Chang Shen picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Fang Tao, although this mouth stinks, the tea is still good!" ”

"That's it, I will have the opportunity to come to my place for tea often in the future!" Fang Tao said proudly.

Zhang Song smiled bitterly, it seems that people in this era like Fang Tao's tea, I don't know if they will like it when they are free, they taste the tea they brewed?

Of course, Zhang Songhe just had a change of heart in his heart, and he said to Zhong Lei: "According to what we just said, send a competent person to spy on the grain situation." ”

"It's better for me to let people go, Zhong Jun and Fang Tao sent someone to it, it's too attention-grabbing, I'll let the wounded in the house go, we have time, we can also inquire openly." Chang Shen hurriedly said.

Chang Shen is a good idea! It can detect the situation clearly, but it is not noticeable. Zhang Song's eyes lit up. But after thinking about it, I was a little worried that the wounded were unreliable, and my face couldn't help but show a little hesitation.

Chang Shen was very eye-catching, and he could see Zhang Song's hesitation at a glance, and then he could see the reason for Zhang Song's hesitation.

"Zhang Jun, please rest assured, we, the wounded, are willing to follow Zhang Jun and never regret it until death, they are all very reliable."

Chang Shen has already said it to this point, and Zhang Song can't say anything more, so as not to hurt Chang Shen's heart.

"Okay, then leave this matter to Chang Shen."

"Good! Zhang Jun, just wait for my good news! Chang Shen was also unambiguous, "Wait for me to go back, I will make arrangements immediately, I believe that everyone is willing to work for Zhang Jun." ”

Zhang Song smiled, and he patted Chang Shen on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"They don't have news yet today." Fang Tao said to Zhang Song, "I'll let them keep staring." ”

Zhang Song nodded, and only went to stare at it for a short time, there should not be news so soon. Fang Tao arranged this matter properly, and Zhang Song had nothing to add, just insist.

"Chang Shen came just in time today, let's discuss the issue of raising food together." Zhang Song said.

"Why did the matter of raising food still fall on our heads?" Fang Tao said in astonishment.

Zhong Lei glanced at Zhang Song and whispered to Fang Tao about everything that happened in front of the council hall today.

"Zhang Jun, do you really have a way to raise food?"

Although Chang Shen said that he recognized Zhang Song's ability very much, just now out of order to protect Zhang Song's face, he also showed great trust in Zhang Song, but after all, there were still some questions, and now it was a private conversation, and Chang Shen asked directly.

"Yes, Zhang Jun, what is your solution?" Zhong Lei also asked suspiciously.

Fang Tao didn't say anything on the side, but with the expectant look on his face, it couldn't be more obvious that he wanted to know the meaning of Zhang Song's method of raising food.

"Before answering your question, where will you find food in this winter?" Zhang Song sold Guanzi.

"The family, the county, the county." Fang Tao blurted out.

Chang Shen and Zhong Lei thought about it for a long time, and they didn't come up with anything more than Fang Tao, so they looked at Zhang Song and waited for his answer.

"Do you want to plunder these places?" Fang Tao seemed to suddenly think of something, and exclaimed, "This can't be done!" ”

"Just talk nonsense! Where would Zhang Jun be this kind of person! Chang Shen glanced at Fang Tao vigorously and said.

"Don't worry, even if you want to plunder these places, I won't agree." Zhang Song said with a smile, "In addition to those places that Fang Jun said, there are also places where there is food. ”

"Where?" Chang Shen, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao asked in unison.

"Mengshan Thieves, West Cave Thieves, Xindi Thieves, and Huayang Thieves." Zhang Song said it word by word.

Chang Shen, Zhong Lei and Fang Tao were silent, and all three of them lowered their heads in contemplation. Zhang Song didn't speak, just fiddled with the tea on a few cases with his hands.

"Can we be sure of taking food from Mengshan and stealing them from them? What's more, the nest of the Mengshan thieves has been taken by the flying dragon thieves, there must be a flying dragon thief living there, can we beat the flying dragon thief? Fang Tao, who has always been hot-tempered, asked softly.

"No problem! The Wyvern Thieves won't have too many troops left there, they have a lot of more important places to garrison. Zhang Song said confidently.

Zhong Lei, Chang Shen, and Fang Tao nodded when they saw Zhang Song say this, and they still said the same thing, they trusted Zhang Song.

"Since everyone has no opinions, let's talk about how to get food from the Mengshan Thieves, the Xidong Thieves, the Xindi Thieves, and the Huayang Thieves." Zhang Song saw that everyone was convinced of himself, so he began to arrange.

"Wait a minute. Come! Go to my house and get the map. Fang Tao said to a close entourage, and then explained to Zhang Song, "I got a map of Liangzhou a few years ago, and now it can come in handy." ”

After the map was expanded, Fang Tao introduced the situation of the thieves to Zhang Song in detail according to the map, among which the Mengshan thieves were the most powerful, and the Xidong thieves, Xindi thieves, and Huayang thieves were all vassals of the Mengshan thieves.

"The West Cave Thieves, the Xindi Thieves, and the Huayang Thieves are all not far from Qingsong Valley, why do they still have them in Qingsong Valley to this day?" Zhang Song asked after listening to the introduction.

"The terrain of these bands is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have attacked these bands of thieves before, but each time we have come back with a feather." Zhong Lei frowned and said, "At most, we dispatched one hundred and fifty or sixty people. ”

"Which of the three thieves is closer? What is the topography? How many people are there? Zhang Song asked.

"The West Cave Thieves are the closest to us, and the terrain is the most dangerous, there is only one path to enter, and next to the path is a deep stream that is more than ten zhang deep, and the deep stream is full of all kinds of thorns, and the rest of the place is a cliff. As for the number of people...... "Chang Shen said," Chang Shen said, "there are about sixty or seventy people. ”

"Are we still going to get food from those bands of thieves?" Zhong Lei asked.

"Yes." Zhang Song replied without hesitation, "And we will act tonight!" ”

"Acting tonight?" Fang Tao thought he had misheard.

"Yes, do it tonight. These bands of thieves jointly besieged the Green Pine Valley and failed, and it was the day of panic, and our attack had a better chance of victory. Zhang Song's tone was resolute, "Chang Shen, you were originally Zhou Mingshu's subordinates, so you will gather Zhou Mingshu's subordinates and gather them in the house where you live." ”
