At this time, someone said: "General Zhao, the imperial court wants to send troops to recruit the Tuqishi, and we should have vigorously supported this matter, after all, it is also beneficial to the people of our Anxi land to quell the Tuqishi rebellion, but we are powerless, and in addition to the grain and grass that should be paid, our tribe has no extra grain and grass, and please forgive the general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang's face changed when he heard this, and he quickly swept the others with his eyes, "Are you the same?" General Ben has already said just now, this general is looking for you to borrow grain, not from your tribe to borrow grain, don't think that General Ben is not clear, you are the owners of most of the fields here, and other people may not have extra food, but you must have it, are you so anxious to refuse this general with the intention of preventing the imperial court from conquering the Turgish? ”

Zhao Ziliang's words came out, and everyone present immediately changed color, this hat is too big, no one can be safe and sound after wearing it, Pan Leng, who was calm just now, couldn't sit still at this time, he coughed twice and stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "General Zhao, everyone, there is something to say, something to say!" The imperial court's conquest of the Turks was a major event, and everything had to make way for it, and all conveniences were provided. We all know this, General Zhao is anxious to raise food and grass for the army, I understand the general's mood very well, you have difficulties, I also understand your difficulties, don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly, find a feasible way to solve the problem of food and grass for the army, what do you think? ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but look at Pan Lengleng when he heard this, and he felt very bad in his heart, this Pan Lengleng was talking about cooperation on the surface, but in fact, he was swaying the situation and reconciling the relationship between the two parties, completely treating himself as an arbiter, if this matter was perfectly resolved under Pan Leng's coordination, then Pan Leng's reputation among these clan leaders and leaders had risen greatly, and his status had also been greatly improved, and these people would look down on Pan Lengleng in the future. And he's like this, I'm afraid that he has already discussed with these people how to deal with me!

No, no, it should not be Pan Lengleng who acts as the arbiter and coordinator, but the representative of the Tang Dynasty! And as the highest official and representative of the Tang Dynasty here, it is himself! Zhao Ziliang reacted quickly, his mind turned, he turned his head to look at Pan Lengleng, and asked: "Lord Pan, since everyone is silent, I think it is better to be like this, you are an example for you, how much grain and grass do you plan to borrow to the Guardian Mansion?" How about 10,000 stones? ”

Pan's cold face changed, thinking that this Zhao Zi is so good that he actually burned the fire on me, so I have to express my position, if I don't take the lead in setting an example, Zhao Ziliang will definitely hold a grudge against me, and I am afraid that there will be ** annoyance in the future!

There were countless circles in his mind for a moment, and then he smiled: "General Zhao, you don't know the situation of the City Lord's Mansion, and it is also very difficult for the City Lord's Mansion to come up with excess food!" And the amount you want is too great, and now you have gathered all the grain in the whole city of exchange, and I am afraid that it will not be ten thousand stones."

Zhao Ziliang sneered: "As far as General Ben knows, this exchange city is a fief of an adult, right?" You're just afraid that you're the biggest landlord in this city, and now the imperial court wants to levy the Turgy Shi, should you support it vigorously? The court is not thin on your Pan family, haven't you ever thought of repaying the court? ”

Pan Leng listened to the change of expression on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the others didn't dare to interject rashly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said to the others: "Everyone avoid, General Ben has something to say to Master Pan alone!" ”

Hearing this, the clan leaders and leaders all got up and saluted Zhao Ziliang and Pan Leng coldly, and then Yuguan withdrew.

After everyone left, Zhao Ziliang looked at Pan Leng and said in a rather unkind tone: "General Ben came to ask you for help, but I didn't expect that you didn't want to help at all, but instead tried to stop it!" For the sake of the princess's face, General Ben called you a big brother and treated you as his own family, but you played tricks with General Ben, don't you understand, without the support of the Tang Dynasty, can your Pan family sit firmly on the throne of King Shule? Those tribal leaders and leaders have long eaten your Pan family to the point that there are no bones left, and you actually want to unite them to make trouble with me, do you know that if you make trouble with me, you are the enemy of Datang? Do you know the consequences? Is it worth it just for that little bit of food? You are the lord of this city and the governor of the capital, and you don't even know what you should do and what position you should put yourself in, no wonder the city is in a mess, far worse than other towns! You don't want to think about it, in the future, if your father returns to heaven and you want to inherit the throne, who will need support to sit on the throne? Don't you hug my thick legs tightly, and dare to play with me? I think you're either too bold or too stupid! ”

Pan Leng felt that he was stripped naked by Zhao Ziliang, there was no secret on his body, and everything he thought in his heart was ruthlessly stabbed out by Zhao Ziliang, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and hugged Zhao Ziliang's thigh and cried and begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, I was blinded by lard, and I will play tricks on you for a little food, I damn it!" I'm confused! For my sister's sake, don't you want to raise food and grass? I'll give you all my stock, eight hundred stones! How about I go to the tribal leaders and leaders outside to raise 1,200 stones, a total of 2,000 stones, and prepare another 200 carts of forage.

Two thousand stone of grain and two hundred carts of forage were enough for a thousand men and horses to eat for five months, and no matter how much the war against the Turgish was fought, it was impossible to fight for five months, so these grains and grass were enough.

Zhao Ziliang sneered in his heart after listening to Pan Lengleng's words, until now, Pan Lengleng is still hiding his true thoughts in his heart! If Pan Lengleng is just reluctant to play tricks with him, he can still forgive, after all, he is just a person of interest, but judging from Pan Lengleng's style, this person obviously wants to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to gather other tribes, let them obey their orders, increase their strength, and then in turn get rid of the rule of the Tang Dynasty, which is tantamount to an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf behavior, this kind of thinking and behavior are unforgivable and unforgivable!

Zhao Ziliang has already made a judgment to Pan Leng from his heart, even if he tries everything in the future, he will definitely not let this person ascend to the throne of King Shule! At this time, although he had murderous intentions towards Pan Leng, he thought that there was no need to do this kind of thing himself, and if Panzhu Junxiu saw the clues, he was afraid that he would not be peaceful in the future.

Staring at Pan Leng for a long time, Zhao Ziliang said indifferently: "You get up first, this time General Ben won't care about you, the matter of grain and grass will be handed over to you to handle for me, within five days, two thousand stones of grain and two hundred carts of forage will all be sent to the treasury of the Shoufu Mansion!" ”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely raise 2,000 stone of grain and 200 carts of forage within five days!" Pan Leng hurriedly sat on the ground with a sigh of relief after finishing speaking.

Zheng San, who came out of the City Lord's Mansion and followed Zhao Ziliang, asked, "General, how can this cold judge two people before and after?" In the past, he saw that the generals were all putting on a city lord's style, but today the general didn't give him a good face, and he was as scared as his grandson? ”

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "City Lord, Governor? If this general is not happy, he, the city lord and governor, will not be able to do it, he thinks that he will soon become my brother-in-law, and he can put on a high-minded appearance, I didn't care about him before, but I didn't expect this person to kick his nose in the face! Other city lords are close to the local officials of the Tang Dynasty to rule other tribes, but he wants to gather the power of the tribes to get out of the control of the Tang Dynasty, this person has ill intentions and bad intentions! In the future, he must not be allowed to inherit the throne of King Shule, and if you send news to General Ben, say that General Ben is not in agreement with him, especially to let those officials who have contradictions with him and disagree with him know this news! ”

Zheng San hurriedly agreed: "No! ”
