Sun Xiu simply threw out a number: "This person already has 12,000 Wu Ding!" ”

"So much?" Liu Che showed a look of surprise, "Can he afford it?" Armor blades, grain and grass salaries, this is all big heads, it is a gold-swallowing beast, and it is not satisfied! Moreover, he is too guarded in a county, even if he is located on the frontier and has the responsibility of commanding the army, there is no excuse for having so many soldiers and horses, and if it spreads, someone will soon say that he has ill intentions, wouldn't it be more dangerous to find him? ”

"No," Sun Xiu shook his head, "Most of these soldiers and horses of Chen Taishou are displayed in the name of Wu Ding, and the 12,000 soldiers and horses under his command, except for less than 2,000 garrisons, are all attached to each family, named Jia Ding, and they are actually soldiers." ”

"You're bold enough!" Liu Che gasped, "At that time, I heard about Wu Ding, I thought it was a temporary requisition, and it would disperse afterwards, the last time I came over, I heard that there were only four thousand, and I still kept the garrison, just in case, but after half a year, the wind and waves were calm, the Hu people fell into infighting, it was difficult for him to take care of it, and there was little intrusion in the frontier. Those families don't make a fuss, no opinion? ”

"How can there be no opinion?" Sun Xiu smiled and shook his head, "This Wu Ding is originally a person from each family, and it was cultivated by them, and many of them were directly drawn from the tenant farmers, but after these people entered the barracks, with the training, they became more and more determined, especially those who experienced the battle formation, and they especially defended Chen Taishou." ”

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and added: "By the way, it is worth mentioning that this Taishou is extremely generous to those killed and injured Wu Ding, so the families of these Wu Ding are gradually inclined to that Tai Shou, plus some of the orders he has recently implemented, they have preferential treatment for Wu Ding's family, and even land rent can be waived." ”

"That family should be even more dissatisfied," Liu Che smiled coldly, "You just said that they were already dissatisfied, probably because they were forcibly suppressed, and now they have to move the idea of renting land, and they are going to become the target of public criticism. ”

Sun Xiu laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "Maybe that's the case, but at least on the surface, the paper mill business, the merchants, the mine production, etc., have all brought a lot of money, and the interests of several major families are all involved, and they all have gains, even if there are some complaints, but no one will come forward at this time." ”

Liu Che judged and said: "Buying the family with money is to drink to quench your thirst, you can only manage it for a while, and after a long time, the hidden danger is even greater!" After all, if you spend money like him, something will happen sooner or later! ”

"Yes," Sun Xiu still smiled, "but at least he still has a momentum in front of him, because he has soldiers in his hands and has hopes, the key is to have a solid foundation for his achievements, and he has the support of the industry, and the key is that he is still paid a salary, so it is worth asking for help." ”

After going around for a long time, I went back to the question at the beginning.

Liu Che frowned and said, "Half a year ago he was unwilling, and now he is willing?" And this time, we still agreed with Wang Jun that we would go south to gather the old department, in case we don't go back......"

"Wang Jun didn't even dare to attack Chen Zhi immediately, how could he dare to move you?" Sun Xiu directly pointed out the key, "And in the past six months, I have actually exchanged letters with Chen Zhi, and we have corresponded four or five times, and his tone has gradually changed, and recently he has revealed that he is willing to send troops, but I hope we can give him a little practical benefit." ”

"It turns out that you and Chen Zhi are still in contact," Liu Che's eyes lit up when he heard the news, "He is willing to send troops, great!" Wang Jun kept delaying, the king of Jiangdu was useless, Zu Ti had too few soldiers and horses, and the court could not quench his thirst, that is, Chen Zhi's soldiers and horses were extremely powerful, if he was willing to take action, rescue his grandfather......" At this time, he forgot some of his prejudices against Chen Zhi and his judgment of the situation in Daijun.

But then again, even if this Wang Sun knows in his heart that Chen Zhi is actually confronting Wang Jun, the soldiers and horses cannot be moved lightly, and the troops are not abundant compared to Wang Jun, and rashly sending troops to the south may make the headquarters empty of the county, he will not care, as long as he can rescue his grandfather and improve his evaluation, it is not a luxury to integrate the throne in the future!

Sun Xiu knew very well what this Wang Sun was thinking, so he picked the key point and said: "Gongzi probably wonders, why did Chen Zhi change his mind again, in fact, this matter is brought about by the change of the situation in the county, from the letter, Chen Zhi's tone of mouth changed, is accompanied by his stable position, strong soldiers and horses, slowly changed, originally he resisted the Hu people, fought one after another, his vitality was greatly injured, and he was unwilling to move troops easily, but now Taoguang is obscure, but there are still limitations, in the face of Wang Jun's threat, he urgently needs some help, even if it is nominally, Or maybe you want to break through in other ways. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Che frowned.

Sun Xiu said: "Because there is also a hidden condition in Chen Zhi's letter, which is to hope that the prince can help him ask for an official in the court." ”

"My father is now under house arrest by King Guanghan...... Liu Che frowned, but immediately understood, "But it's okay to bring him a word, I want to come to this Chen Zhi, I am worried about the title of general of Zhengbei, what is this, as long as he is willing to send troops, but a name, I will write to Luoyang and let my father speak!" ”

Sun Xiu narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Things are not so simple, the title of General Zhengbei, Chen Zhi is probably about to succeed, what he needs this time is not this." ”

Liu Cheqi said: "Isn't it the general of Zhengbei?" What is that? ”

Sun Xiu didn't answer immediately, and when Liu Che was a little impatient, he spit out a title: "Youzhou Thorn History!" ”

"Youzhou Thorn History?!" Liu Che was shocked, "This is not to dig Wang Jun's heels......"

"Wang Jun and Chen Zhi will fight sooner or later, so Chen Zhi's request is not surprising, otherwise if they fight in vain, they may cheapen others, or be attacked, Childe, what do you think?"

"This ......" Liu Che hesitated, "This is not something I can decide, the actual title of a general of the expedition to the north, with the prestige of Wang Zu, it is not difficult to take it down, after all, he has already had it, but he is just a quasi-news of opening a mansion and building a tooth, but the history of Youzhou Assassin is a feudal official, not to mention that my father has been placed under house arrest, even if everything is fine, running up and down, dredging left and right, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve." ”

Liu Che said with a smile: "Childe thinks too much, since he Chen Zhi has brought up this matter, it means that more than one person is taking precautions, and we only need to give him a message, what does it matter if it succeeds or not?" The key is to take one as a condition and let Chen Zhi send troops! It's just that there is a problem now, but I have to figure it out first. ”

Liu Che asked eagerly, "What's the problem?" ”

Sun Xiu said: "With Wang Jun eyeing him, how dare Chen Zhi send troops easily?" I have to find a reason to be able to calm his mind first. ”

It's not easy!

Liu Che shook his head slightly.

At this moment, the galloping carriage suddenly stopped, and the carriage also jolted.

"What's wrong?" Liu Che came back to his senses, opened the curtain and asked, but saw that on the road ahead, there was a carriage with a broken axle parked on the road, and several monks were on the side, looking for sounds.
