Before the footsteps arrived, the man dressed as a military commander who had been waiting for a long time in the hall of the side courtyard immediately stood up from his seat.

"Meet the county guard."

The man saluted respectfully to Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang didn't speak, looking the man up and down.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Cang watched it for a long time, searched his memory, and found that he really didn't know this man, and the only thing he could feel from the breath on the man's body was the feeling of being acquainted.

"The villain Du Chang is an adult's 'fellow villager'"

The man said to Zhou Cang with a strange look on his face.

You must know that before the Taiping Road incident, it was mostly said that the number of fellow villagers in the same village exceeded 10,000, and the word 'fellow villagers' was not used much during the Taiping Road period.

Zhou Cang probably understood when he heard it, most of this person was the remnants of the yellow scarf, Zhou Cang looked at Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, and his gaze just collided with Zhou Cang's gaze, and Fu Zhu seemed to understand something, and pulled Tian Feng on the side.

"Lord, let's step back first......"

"Gong and you don't have to be like this, you and Yuan Hao are my confidants, and there is no need to hide from you and the two of you from my previous affairs."

The monarch and the ministers intersected, and Zhou Cang also planned to tell the two of them about his former Yellow Turban thief's province after a while, but he didn't expect it to be so sudden.

"Cangtian is dead, Huang Tian should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious, the original Yellow Turban Army people, right?"

"Yellow Turban Thief?"

"Taiping Road?"

Fu Zhu and Tian Feng glanced at each other, and they both showed shocked expressions.

"The lord is ......"

Zhou Cang looked at the stunned expressions of the two, thinking that the two of them had already guessed!

"That's right, I used to be a Yellow Turban Thief......"

"I think when the Taiping Dao came to me to preach and give the talisman, my father happened to be seriously ill, so I went to ask for the talisman water for my father, although I don't know what the talisman water was made of, but my father's illness has really improved, in order to repay the favor, my family of eight people have joined the Taiping Dao, wandering around the world to preach, after the Taiping Dao rebellion, I can't get out of it if I want to, my father and brother eight people may now be the only one alive now......

Zhou Cang recalled the past in the depths of his memory, not adding oil and vinegar at all, Taiping Dao did help a lot of people at first, but later it changed its taste, and it was forced to embark on the road of rebellion, a group of homeless people who could not eat enough, they were forced to be helpless in order to survive, so they had to rebel, the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning only attacked the county, plundered the squires, families, and officials, but later the expansion of the Yellow Turban team, what ruffians joined, and the discipline was not so strict, so that everyone shouted and beat the Yellow Turban thief.

"It seems that Leader Zhou still hasn't forgotten the Yellow Turban Paoze brothers of the past!" Du Chang's face Zhou Cang said his life experience, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, this time he came to borrow grain.

Zhou Cang didn't pay attention to Du Chang's words, but looked at Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, you must know that the background of the Yellow Turban Thief is not so good, and it can also be said that the Han Dynasty was shaken by the Yellow Turban Thief, and the last straw that crushed the camel was the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

"Gonghe and Yuan Hao, now you two also know my identity, whether to go or stay, you two decide for yourself!" Although Zhou Cang behaved very generously at the moment and let the two of them choose freely, in Zhou Cang's heart, he didn't want the two of them to leave, and once the two chose to leave Zhou Cang, they would never let the two of them live.

The four people in the hall were silent, the silence was a little terrifying, and the sound of heartbeat could be heard faintly.

"What did the lord say? I accidentally fell asleep just now and didn't hear it. ”

He pretended to rub his eyes and plucked out his ears again, looking like he had just woken up.

"Feng Yi didn't hear clearly, can the lord say it again."

Tian Feng also echoed.

Zhou Cang smiled and nodded at the two of them, and turned his head to look at Du Chang.

"It was Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army who sent you!"

"Ah...... You...... How do you know? ”

The plot did not develop according to Du Chang's prediction, but his origin was revealed.

Zhou Cang vaguely remembered that in history, when Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, Zhang Yan sent his generals to rescue Gongsun Zan, although it did not have any effect, and this general was Du Chang.

"Tell me, what did Zhang Yan send you for?"

"The leader of my family hopes that Zhou Taishou can look at the faces of the former Pao Ze brothers and borrow some food ......"

Du Chang looked at Zhou Cang's face cautiously, at this moment he became nervous again, he could have used Zhou Cang's identity as a yellow turban thief to threaten Zhou Cang, but at this moment he had no advantage at all.

"Borrow? I'm afraid that there will be no repayment, right? ”

Tian Feng stared at Du Chang coldly on the side.

"Uh......"

"How much?"

Zhou Cang asked lightly, and as soon as the words fell, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng immediately stopped talking.

"The Lord shall not ......"

"Lord ......"

Zhou Cang waved his hand to signal the two not to rush first, stopped the persuasion of the two, and Zhou Cang's eyes fell on Du Chang again.

"500,000 quintals!"

"Five is 10,000 quintals?" Zhou Cang was obviously taken aback by this number, you must know that all the grain reserves in Shangdang County are only 200,000 quintals, and Zhang Yan will ask for 500,000 quintals when he opens his mouth.

"500,000 quintals? Zhang Yan, he is going to hide in Taihang Mountain for the rest of his life and not come out, right, 500,000 yuan is enough for you to eat and die......"

Zhou Cang almost didn't scold.

"It's too misunderstood, 500,000 quintals are only enough for one month!"

Du Chang smiled bitterly, you must know that the Montenegrin army led by Zhang Yan is not only young and middle-aged people with combat power, but also hundreds of thousands of old and weak women and children.

"Oh? So you have at least 500,000 soldiers in the Montenegrin army? ”

"Lord Taishou doesn't know, most of our Montenegrin army says that the population is old and weak women and children, there are 300,000 or 400,000 old and weak women and children, and less than 100,000 soldiers......

"Oh! That's it......" Zhou Cang glanced at Tian Feng and Frustrated, and the two nodded knowingly.

"You take a break here now, I'll go get some ......"

As soon as Zhou Cang waved his hand, Tian Feng and Fu Zhu followed him and left together, leaving Du Chang alone to stay there.

Du Chang couldn't believe his ears, he made up his preparations, could it be that the food was borrowed!

"Lord, you don't really want to lend food to the Montenegrin army, do you?"

Tian Feng looked at Zhou Cang and asked with a puzzled expression.

"My lord, no!" Frustration also persuaded.

After the three of them immediately returned to the county guard's mansion, Zhou Cang spoke.

"Gonghe, Yuan Hao, you say that 500,000 quintals of grain can recruit 200,000 elite soldiers?"

"Nature is not ......"

"Could it be that the lord wants to recruit the Montenegrin army?"

Zhou Cang nodded slightly, and there was a glimmer of light in the eyes of Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, if they could recruit the Black Mountain Army, then Zhou Cang's strength would immediately surpass that of all the princes.
