Outside the city lord's mansion in Fengning Town, Zhao Wencheng, who was dressed in military uniform and had a pale complexion on his face, galloped towards the mansion under the escort of dozens of cavalry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"City Lord!"

Seeing this, several guards in charge of guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to salute, two of them stepped forward to hold the war horse, and one knelt on one knee, allowing Zhao Wencheng to step on his back with his right foot and turn over and dismount.

Zhao Wencheng, 23 years old this year, was originally a second-generation official from the 21st century, his father was a senior official at the department level, and he grew up under the influence of officialdom since he was a child.

Unlike the fragility of other people from the 21st century, this extraordinary insight and mature mind helped Zhao Wencheng quickly survive in this strange world.

Taking advantage of the split of the Great West and the opportunity of various forces to conquer each other, Zhao Wencheng also relied on his ingenuity to create the foundation of the current Fengning Town.

It has jurisdiction over one town and eight villages, and has more than 70,000 people and 5,000 soldiers.

After forming an alliance with Zhang Fan of Chengtai Town and Du Gang of Hekou Town, the three towns guarded the horns across the Changxi River, and survived in the cracks of the three major forces of Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and Sima Yu by virtue of the strength and special position of the three towns.

"Quick! Send someone to summon the military division to come, there is something important to discuss! ”

Stepping on the soldier's back, Zhao Wencheng quickly turned over and dismounted, and said to his henchmen behind him.

"Whoa!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wencheng's personal soldier captain quickly responded and turned away.

A quarter of an hour later, in the study of Zhao Wencheng of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Wencheng, who had changed into civilian clothes, sat opposite him with his military advisor Zhao Lei.

"Uncle Tired, I have personally visited this caravan just now, the carriages are all equipped with sophisticated weapons and leather armor, a total of 34 carriages, if you take them all, you can equip at least 10,000 troops."

Looking at Zhao Lei, who had a cold expression on the other side, Zhao Wencheng's eyes couldn't help but flash a cold color.

Zhao Lei, a subordinate of Guan Yu, a general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, was loyal, brave and strategic, and finally died in Maicheng with Guan Yu.

However, at this time, Zhao Lei had not yet died with Guan Yu, and he was the governor of Liu Bei, and his ability was good.

At the beginning, it took a lot of effort to subdue Zhao Lei and Zhao Wencheng, and he treated him as an uncle on weekdays.

It's a pity that although Zhao Lei was forced to recognize him as the master, he always disdained Zhao Wencheng's personality and character, so he has always been a little cold about Zhao Wencheng's overtures.

For this reason, Zhao Wencheng did not dare to let him lead the army alone, and could only treat him as a military advisor, although his status was respected, but he had no real power.

However, he has great trust in Zhao Lei's ability, and he likes to consult with him whenever he has an important matter.

"Ten thousand troops?"

With Zhao Lei's concentration, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, weapons and ordnance are scarce strategic materials no matter which dynasty they are in.

In this current world where all major forces are in dire need of ordnance and equipment, the ordnance that can equip an army of 10,000 is definitely a huge number, and it will actually appear in a caravan.

"It seems that there is indeed an alliance between the Yangwu Army and the Shu State, and this batch of ordnance should be transported to the Shu State"

Then thinking of the news that came before, a hint of realization flashed in Zhao Lei's eyes, and when he talked about Shu, his face showed a trace of regret.

When he first arrived in this world, due to the wars everywhere, the long distance, and the lack of news, Zhao Lei never thought that the original Shu Kingdom and Liu Bei and others would also come to this world. Otherwise, he would have already gone to Shu.

And now, although he was forced to serve him because of Zhao Wencheng's design, he didn't want to be the one who betrayed his lord and didn't believe in him.

This heart disease is also one of the reasons why Zhao Lei has always resisted Zhao Wencheng.

"The lord wants to use this batch of ordnance?"

Looking at the fiery color that flashed in Zhao Wencheng's eyes, Zhao Lei asked with a frown.

Zhao Wencheng only owns a town in Fengning Town, with no more than 5,000 soldiers, which cannot be compared with the Yangwu army with 100,000 soldiers in the four counties under its jurisdiction.

The idea of fighting this batch of goods from the Qilin Business Alliance now is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and giving the Yangwu Army an excuse to attack Fengning Town in vain.

"Yes, Uncle Ti, once I have this batch of ordnance, the strength of my Fengning Town will inevitably increase greatly, and when the time comes, I will enter Luzhou westward, and I may not be able to break out of the foundation."

Expanding the territory and competing for hegemony in the world, since ancient times, it has been the most able to arouse the blood in the hearts of men, and the thought that he may also dominate one side like Sima Yu, Zhao Wencheng's heart throbbed.

He had already known that Sima Yu was from the 21st century with him, and his jealousy of Sima Yu, who could create such a foundation at a young age, was far higher than that of others.

Sima Yu can dominate one side, why can't he.

"However, has the lord ever thought about the consequences of provoking the Yangwu army?"

His brows were tightly locked, and Zhao Lei said softly when he heard this.

In his opinion, Zhao Wencheng has been swallowed up by the desire in his heart, and with the current situation in Yongzhou, Fengning Town is hopeless.

"I know Uncle Lei's worries, but now that the Yangwu army has declared war on Sun Kewang, the two sides are gathering heavy troops on the border to fight. Li Dingguo also stationed troops on the Ji'an border to fight with Sun Kewang, and when the tripartite war is over, it will inevitably be powerless to take care of others in a short period of time, and this is a great opportunity for us.

As for whether it will be a bad deal with the Yangwu Army, there is no need to think about it at all, my Fengning Town is blocking the road of the Yangwu Army's westward advance, rather than having a battle sooner or later, rather than sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take the initiative to attack and enhance its strength. And even if we shouldn't be offended, we've already offended."

Zhao Wencheng's eyes were red, and he said coldly.

"The previous destruction of the caravan of the Qilin Business Alliance was done by the lord!"

Zhao Lei's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he suddenly exclaimed.

Half a month ago, a caravan of the Qilin Merchant Alliance was attacked by water thieves while passing through the Changxi River, hundreds of caravan members were slaughtered, and all important materials up to tens of thousands of gold were looted.

This matter has been in an uproar recently, and a large number of brocade-clothed guards can often be seen around the entire Changxi River to investigate the traces of water thieves.

"It's not good, lord, this matter is fraudulent, I'm afraid this caravan is coming for us!"

Then thinking of a possibility, Zhao Lei's face changed several times, and he held his breath and said in a condensed voice.

The Qilin Merchant Alliance has just had a huge caravan destroyed in the Changxi River, and it has been less than half a month to send such a large caravan transporting ordnance, which is obviously unreasonable, and I am afraid that there is fraud in it.

After Zhao Lei's reminder, Zhao Wencheng, who was blinded by the ambition in his heart, woke up, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

The thought that the Yangwu army was likely to crush the army was even more terrifying.

"Could this be because Shu is urging it tightly?"

However, there was still a bit of luck in his heart, and he looked at Zhao Leidao expectantly like a drowning person.

Seeing Zhao Wencheng's reaction in his eyes, Zhao Lei couldn't help but sigh in disappointment in his heart.

Greedy for short-term interests and no long-term strategy, although there is a city government but floating on the surface, doing big things and sparing his life, even if he has great ambitions, but he has no ability to match it is in vain, and he will only bring disaster to himself and the people around him.

"No, my lord, even if the Shu State urges too much, the Yangwu army can take the waterway and go straight to the border of Tunnel Prefecture along the Yangtze River, and there is no need to risk being robbed again again."

Zhao Lei's words completely interrupted the only remaining illusion in Zhao Wencheng's heart.

"For today's plan, if the lord is willing to give up his thoughts and take the initiative to join the army, he can avoid disasters and become a rich man with peace of mind."

Looking at Zhao Wencheng, whose face was pale because of his words, Zhao Lei couldn't help but persuade him.

According to his opinion, Zhao Wencheng has no image of a king, so it is better to give up as soon as possible and be a rich man with peace of mind.

It's a pity that Zhao Lei was out of kindness, but he ignored Zhao Wencheng's arrogance and self-esteem that he had cultivated since he was a child.

"Shut up! I, Zhao Wencheng, a dignified man, can beg to surrender to Sima Yu! ”

Zhao Wencheng, who felt humiliated by his self-esteem, turned red instantly, slapped his palm on the table and shouted loudly.

Zhao Wencheng's overreaction made Zhao Lei stunned in place, and the words of persuasion behind him naturally couldn't be said again.

"Uncle Tired, I am determined to get this batch of ordnance, if Uncle Ti still wants to help me, please give me advice, how to seize this batch of ordnance and block the enemy who may come later"

After taking a breath for a while, Zhao Wencheng, who calmed down a little, looked at Zhao Lei with red eyes, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes as he spoke.

Obviously, Zhao Lei's words just now made him completely lose his last patience, and he also had murderous intentions towards Zhao Lei in his heart.

If it cannot be used by me, it will be removed.

"Now that the lord has made up his mind, when he contacts Zhang Fan of Chengtai Town and Du Gang of Hekou Town to obtain this batch of ordnance, with the strength of the three towns, he may be able to resist the attack of the Yangwu army."

Feeling the murderous intent in Zhao Wencheng's words, Zhao Lei's expression was gloomy, and he bowed down and admonished.

"Just like that, those two old men are cheaper? What if they don't agree to leak me out? ”

Zhao Wencheng was unwilling to hear this, he was unwilling to share this batch of ordnance with Zhang Fan Dugang, and he was afraid that they would leak out his idea of attacking the armaments of the Shang Alliance.

"My lord, this is a necessary policy, even if we have 10,000 ordnance, we can't convert all of them into combat effectiveness, it is better to fight against the Yangwu army with two allies. As for whether the two of them will comply, there is no need to worry at all, as long as we release the news that the previous batch of Shang Alliance materials was robbed by them, they will naturally take the initiative to comply."

Zhao Lei said lightly with an unchanged expression when he heard this.

"Okay, according to what Uncle Ti said, if he can achieve something in the future, Wencheng will share it with Uncle Ti!"

Zhao Wencheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was indeed worthy of being a celebrity who had left a name in the history books, and he suddenly thought of a way out to solve his dilemma.

Immediately, Zhao Wencheng found people and began to implement Zhao Lei's plan.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, it's up to you whether it's a dragon or a worm!"

Looking at Zhao Lei's back as he went to arrange it, Zhao Lei's eyes also flashed with complexity, and he muttered.

At this time, the energetic Zhao Wencheng didn't know that it was because his later actions provided Sima Yu with an opportunity to occupy the three towns and accelerated Sima Yu's expansion.
