With Amin's order, Jian Yu dispatched again. But this time it's not to kill people, but to post notices, and they are posted along the official road, and they are posted everywhere, with only one content: if there is another situation of destroying the official road, none of the people who are caught and repairing the road will be left, and all the sacrificial roads will be killed, and then they will be caught again, and if the road is to be destroyed again, they will be killed again!

After such a ruthless move, the official road finally quieted down. The Korean volunteers did not dare to organize the destruction of official roads anymore, and hurriedly brought a notice to the senior officials.

But when this proclamation reached Lu Xiangsheng's hands, Wei Mulan on the side couldn't help but say a little worriedly: "How did the slave chief come up with such a move, it's too ruthless!" ”

"Huh!" Lu Xiangsheng smiled when he heard this, looked at Wei Mulan and shook his head and said, "If it is the official, let whoever destroys it directly restore it to its original state within a time limit, otherwise it will ......"

The words will not continue, and Wei Mulan can understand it. She looked at Lu Xiangsheng's gaze and was suddenly a little surprised. I didn't expect that the old man Jinshi, who has always been kind, seems to be very ruthless if he is ruthless!

She didn't know that in the original history, Lu Xiangsheng was known as the king of Lu Yan among the thieves. The murderous plan he came up with on the battlefield, as well as his extraordinary bravery, made his opponents tremble.

Not only him, but another Jinshi is also known as the king of Hades, that is, Hong Chengchou, who was the governor of Yansui at this time. The difference with Lu Xiangsheng is that Hong Chengchou has a reputation for killing prisoners.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had the same troubles as Lu Xiangsheng, that is, there was no food. He reorganized the army and horses, and sent troops to suppress bandits, which also required food. The so-called "soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved", there is no way to fight without food!

Hong Chengchou is worried, the Yulin granary has had no food at all in the case of a major drought for several consecutive years. If it weren't for this, there would have been no border rebellion.

After thinking about it for a long time, he sent out an invitation post, inviting the squires of Yulin and the surrounding castles to gather in the governor's mansion.

On this day, it was not lively, and the squires of the nearby castle came to Yulin City early. Naturally, the local squires did not lag behind, and they all pinched the time to not let themselves be late, and they all went together in groups to visit the new governor.

And the governor's mansion has obviously made preparations for this banquet. The entrance is lit up, and there seems to be a lot of joy. Rows of soldiers, led by some civilian officials with their bare hands, shouted words such as "Squire so-and-so has arrived" and entered the governor's yamen.

The squires, too, with smiles, gifts, and some flattering words, entered the governor's yamen.

The lower and less prestigious sat in the courtyard outside the lobby, around the tables waiting for the wine to be served, drinking with the new governor. Those with higher status, high prestige, and greater power were arranged to sit in the lobby to accompany the governor.

Before the hour came, the squires who had been invited were almost all together. There were three tables in the hall and seven tables in the courtyard. As they waited, they whispered to each other to familiar people.

"Lord Zhongcheng is really young and promising, and there is no limit to the official road to come!"

"No, we can become the governor of one party, and Lord Hong is the youngest!"

"The most important thing is that Lord Zhongcheng has real skills, and he beat those thieves in southern Shaanxi before crying for his father and mother, and he fled when he heard the news. We have Zhongcheng in northern Shaanxi, and we will definitely be able to live a stable life! ”

"It's not, Lord Zhongcheng's Hong Bing, but those thieves don't want to meet the most!"

“……”

They were talking in a low voice, when suddenly, a loud voice sounded: "Lord Zhongcheng has arrived!" ”

When all the squires heard this, they all stood up and faced the back office, watching a young and promising scarlet-robed official come out.

"I've seen Lord Zhongcheng!"

The voices came and went, until Hong Chengchou stood on the main seat. He glanced at the people present, smiled and said, "This is a private banquet, everyone doesn't need to be polite, sit down!" ”

After speaking, he sat down first, and the squires sat down one by one. But they all looked at him, waiting for him to speak, and the scene was silent.

Hong Chengchou also looked at them, kept a smile and said: "This official is stationed in Yulin, and he has to rely on the emperor's orders to ensure the safety of one party, and he has to rely on the help of the squires!" ”

As soon as he heard what he said, the fat old man in mink brocade who was sitting next to him immediately stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Lord Zhongcheng is serious, and it is really my duty to share worries for the country!" ”

When the other squires heard this, they all nodded their heads with smiles on their faces, and even a few of them whispered, "Yes, yes!" ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he nodded with a smile, feeling okay, so he stood up, looked around with his hands in fists, and then said loudly: "Everyone, ......"

When the fat old man saw this, he immediately clapped his hands and motioned for the others to be quiet and listen to the governor's speech.

Hong Chengchou saw that the scene was quiet, so he still held his fists and said loudly: "After this official takes office in Yansui, he is ready to start suppressing the thieves and returning Yansui a peaceful ......."

Hearing this, all the squires, including the fat old man, suddenly had their eyes lit up, obviously wanting to hear this.

"However, there is almost no military food in the important town of Yulin. The emperor has promised to pay back the military salary, but it has not yet arrived. Therefore, this official invites you to feast, and I also ask you to help you or donate some food for the army to suppress the thieves......"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the atmosphere at the scene was obviously a little cold. The smiles on the faces of these squires disappeared without a trace, and they all looked at each other a little.

Hong Chengchou said this, as long as the grain does not need money, because he knows that the grain in northern Shaanxi, at least the grain near Yulin, is actually controlled by these squires. If you donate money to buy grain, it will end up in the hands of these squires, and at that time they will raise the price of grain, who knows how much grain they will get in the end, so it is better to ask for grain directly.

However, as soon as he said the purpose, he saw the changes in the faces of these squires, and suddenly had a bad premonition. Not only did the words have already been spoken, but he naturally had to finish: "...... I also hope that you can help each other, not only to solve the difficulties of the court, but also for your good! ”

After speaking, he looked at the squires, but found that everyone who was swept by his gaze lowered their heads one after another, and did not dare to look at him, knowing that this time the matter was afraid that it would not be satisfactory.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence at the scene, the fat old man next to him slowly spoke, as if he was careful about his words, and said: "The country is in trouble, and it should be helped." I don't know how much food Lord Zhongcheng needs? ”

"To exterminate the thieves in northern Shaanxi, it is estimated that the army needs at least 100,000 stone of military rations." Hong Chengchou had already calculated, so he replied immediately.

Marching and fighting is not as good as staying in the barracks, that is, you have to eat a full stomach and hurry, and if you kill the enemy, the consumption of this food will be greater.
