Listening to the report of the municipal party committee, the biggest stone in Jing Ran's heart finally fell to the ground, Jiang Yue's Jinyang is the largest rear of his own Shangdang County, although this place does not belong to him, but the wind and grass of Jinyang is directly related to his success or failure in Shangdang County, and now Jiang Yue personally came to greet him, which means that the Jinyang Army will not make any big moves for the time being, after all, his good ally Qin Jun is still very bluffing.

After a while, Li Ren also hurriedly ran in: "King, Jiang Yue is really here." ”

Jing Ran smiled slightly, and cleaned up his clothes: "Sir, can the widow's clothes be neat?" ”

Li Ren: "The king really has a calm heart, haha." ”

Jing Ran also smiled: "Now the overall situation has been decided, but we still seem to have some shortcomings." ”

Li Ren looked at Jing Ran and thought to himself: This king is becoming more and more like a market vendor.

Li Ren: "King, our army's grain and grass are still shortcomings. ”

Jing Ran pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Yes, there are more than 10,000 people, and eating and drinking every day is also a big expense, or we will leave 5,000 people in Jinyang?" ”

Li Ren paused, and understood what Jing Ran meant, this was to find something out of Jiang Yue's mouth.

"Wang, I think you've been ...... lately"

Jing Ran: "What's wrong?" Like a vendor? Ha ha. ”

Li Ren: "King, I didn't say this." Li Ren couldn't help but laugh.

Jing Ran straightened his clothes and picked up the sword on the shelf: "Let's go, let's go and see this Jinyang Hou." ”

After taking two steps, he stopped again: "By the way, don't bring more people, let's bring five hundred people too." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked out of the big tent, Li Ren shook his head, smiled bitterly, and followed Jing Ran out.

"Daniel Zhang, take five hundred people and widows to greet the Marquis of Xia Jinyang!"

Daniel Zhang: "Yes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, five hundred people immediately got on their horses and followed Jing Ran out of the camp.

Three miles, very close. But for Jiang Yue, who is preoccupied, it is indeed a bit far.

Originally, he wanted to go directly to the camp of the Jingran army to see Jing Ran, but when he came here, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped moving forward, he didn't know why, but now looking at the camp of the Jingran army in the distance, he finally knew the reason.

He was scared.

Yes, he was afraid. The more than 10,000 people in the big camp in front of him were still insufficient compared to his nearly 100,000 people, but he was afraid.

"Could it be that Ben Hou is really afraid of him?" Jiang Yue thought silently in his heart.

This is a terrible signal, he has never been afraid of anyone, even when Jing Yu is in front of him and can kill himself at any time, he is not afraid, but now looking at Jing Ran's troops, he actually retreated.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, he himself does not know, but Li Ren, who was his former chief strategist, knows it clearly, and he is afraid because her state of mind has changed.

In the past, he was a general who was not afraid of life and death, he loved soldiers like a son, even if he was unarmed, Jingyu would not kill him, because Jingyu knew that Jiang Yue's status among ordinary soldiers, Jiang Yue was not a person, there were thousands of ordinary soldiers behind him, and what he had Jingyu did not have, that is, people's hearts.

But now Jiang Yue, although he holds a large army and looks infinitely beautiful, he has actually lost the most precious thing, people's hearts!

Just like last night, as long as he dared to disobey the will of the generals and fight the Qin army, his generals would definitely behead themselves to save their own lives. This was never possible before.

He didn't know that when he used his brother who had followed him for many years as a sword and a tool for the sake of power and status, he was no longer the respected general.

Jiang Yue looked at the flying dust raised by Jingran's hooves in the distance, straightened his clothes, and slowly paced forward.

At this time, he was a bureaucrat.

"Minister, Marquis of Jinyang, Yue, lead Jinyang civil and military, see the king!"

After a while, Jing Ran's fast horse arrived in front of Jiang Yue, and this time Jing Ran did not dismount.

"Well, the Marquis of Jinyang, please."

Jiang Yue looked at Jing Ran riding on a tall horse and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Li Ren took the lead in speaking: "The king's will, please accept the decree of the Marquis of Jinyang." ”

Jiang Yue once again wanted to make a big gift to the monarch and ministers, and Jing Ran helped him weakly: "The prince doesn't have to be polite, it's just a word." ”

"King Xie."

Li Ren saw the two of them coming and going, and sneered in his heart: "Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue, don't you know where you are wrong?" ”

"The Great King's Decree, Jiang Yue, Marquis of Jinyang, is sincere and kind, guarding the safety of one party, and this sincerity is entrusted by the widow."

Reading this, Li Ren paused and looked at Jing Ran with incredible eyes, but Jing Ran pretended not to care.

Li Ren had no choice but to continue reading: "Jiang Yue, Marquis of Jinyang, is a hereditary second-class duke, fiefdom Jinyang, and is called the Duke of Jinyang." This is the message! ”

"Ahh

Not only was Li Ren surprised at this time, but even Jiang Yue suspected that he had heard it wrong, so he stayed where he was for a while.

"The King's ......"

Jing Ran looked at him funny, but he couldn't laugh out: "What's wrong?" Jinyang Gong? ”

Jiang Yue stayed where he was, and only after a while did he react: "King, I'm ashamed!" ”

Jing Ran only got off the horse at this time, and hurriedly helped Jiang Yue, who was about to kneel and salute.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, the widow can survive and breathe today, it's all the credit of the prince......"

Jiang Yue: "......"

The two of them came and went in the same place, so they were not affectionate, and those who didn't know thought that these two people were really loyal and virtuous models for all ages.

But there are some things that are only said in this situation.

Jing Ran took Jiang Yue's hand and said, "The prince doesn't know, the widow has two things to ask the prince now." ”

Where did Jiang Yue dare to hold on at this time: "The king, please say, no matter whether you go up to the sword mountain or go down to the sea of fire, the ministers will obey the order." ”

Seeing him say this, Jing Ran wanted to say at that time: Then Aiqing will go to Dao Mountain......

Jing Ran looked at Jiang Yue and said with a smile: "The first thing is that the widow wants to go to the party!" ”

Jiang Yue was shocked, what is this king going to do, go to the party, isn't there a war going on there? But Jing Ran's next words made him understand.

"But the widow is short of military food, and I hope that the prince can support one or two."

It turns out that the army is out of food, this is easy to do, he set me a ladder, and I have to give him a big step, right?

At that moment, Jiang Yue said: "The king, I am up and down in Jinyang, all under the rule of the king, and the grain and grass are not enough to worry about, so I will arrange it below." ”

As he spoke, he called a civil servant and arranged a few sentences.

Jing Ran looked at Jiang Yue's quick hands and feet, and couldn't help but feel envious: Sure enough, it is my Dachu grain production area, the grain of more than 10,000 people, I will give it if I say it......

This Jing Ran is not wrong, Jinyang County, as one of the grain producing areas of Dachu, has accumulated enough grain and grass for 100,000 troops to eat for two or three years, plus now he is in a state of actual independence, and he does not need to pay taxes to the Dachu court, which can be described as rich and oily, and he really doesn't care about the grain of 10,000 people.

Jing Ran saw that Jiang Yue had arranged everything, and said again: "This second thing is a widow's family matter, and it will also trouble the prince." ”

"Speak, my lord."

Jing Ran said: "The prince knows that the widow's righteous sister Hexi County Lord is still young, and this time she will also follow the widow to the party, and this girl has repeatedly said in her letter to the widow that she misses her mother, so she ......"

This time, Jiang Yue understood that this king not only kidnapped his own strategist, but now he wants to reunite his family.

Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Jiang Yue also knew that Li Ren would definitely not come back to Jinyang, he was now by Jing Ran's side, as a guest, and Jing Ran obeyed him, choosing between the king and me, the lord of Jinyang, he had already made a choice, what was the use of still holding his wife now, just do a favor, this is a big event in the world, who can guarantee that I will not be deflated one day......

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue naturally didn't have any other thoughts.

"What is the king, the minister has long wanted to reunite Mr. Li's family, and today is just right, Chen immediately sent someone to invite Mrs. Li out of the city and go to the family reunion with the king and Mr. Li."

As he spoke, he gave the order.

Jing Ran saw that the big thing had been accomplished, and his heart was much more relaxed, he originally thought that he would ink with Jiang Yue for a while, but he didn't expect him to be so happy today, but it was unexpected.

At this time, Li Ren knew that Jing Ran gave Jiang Yue such a big official position, not only to appease Jiang Yue's uneasy mood, but also to reunite his family, and he was moved at the moment.

"The minister has thanked the king, and thanked the Duke of Jinyang."

Jiang Yue accepted his salute and nodded: "Mr. is now with the king, you can always accompany the king in front of the frame, don't lose my face in Jinyang." ”

Li Ren smiled slightly, it's rare that this Jiang Yue said a joke today.

The next thing is to fight haha, Jiang Yue wanted to invite Jing Ran to settle in Jinyang, but Jing Ran shirked it on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs, he naturally didn't want to go back to that place, Jinyang is Jiang Yue's territory, and he didn't want to stimulate Jiang Yue anymore, and Jiang Yue himself was really afraid that Jing Ran would settle in Jinyang, although it was a kind word, but in case Jing Ran really agreed, wouldn't he be uncomfortable. Now it's okay, one is pretending, the other is really not wanting to go again, this is the heart as the saying goes......

At the moment, Jing Ran was no longer verbose, Jiang Yue also returned to Jinyang, Jing Ran was still worried that Jiang Yue would regret what he promised him, but before he could think clearly, the guards at the door had already received news: the food promised by Jinyang City had arrived, and Mr. Li's wife also went to the barracks together.

"It seems that this Jiang Yue is still a believer." Jing Ran looked at Li Ren, who was overjoyed, and quipped.

Saying that, Jing Ran asked about the amount of grain, and the answer he got was that the food given by Jinyang was enough for the army to eat for three months!

Jing Ran was overjoyed: "Sure enough, it's a believer!" ”

That's what he really said. God knows what Jiang Yue meant, maybe he just wanted to tell himself: take these grains and leave quickly!

With these grains and the support that Qin Guo had promised, he would no longer worry about the food problem in the next half a year.

Now that the food problem has been solved, Jing Ran can finally do what he has been thinking about for a long time but has not done - building an army!

Building an army of his own, eliminating non-commissioned officers who could not fight, retaining a new army, and building an army with a small number but brave in battle, this is the most important step in his restoration of the country!

Jing Ran looked at Jin Yang on the map, looked at Shangdang, and looked at the entire Chu State, his mood had never been as excited as today.

This is his hope.
