Chapter 58: Ambition

Zhao Xun sat in the position that Qi Wen originally did, and the sentinels were lined up on both sides. Qi Wen stood in the middle of the hall, waiting to report to Zhao Xun about the situation in Wujiabao. Zhao Xun glanced at Qi Wen lightly, and Qi Wen suddenly felt that this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy had an inexplicable coercion on his body. Unconsciously, the originally proud heart was retracted, and even the straight waist was slightly bent downward.

"How many ordinary people are there in Wujiabao today? Where did they all come from? And how much supplies are stored here? Zhao Xun asked casually while tapping on the table.

Qi Wen felt that his heartbeat seemed to be consistent with the sound of Zhao Xun knocking on the table, and he was very depressed, and hurriedly said: "There are three hundred ordinary people here, all of whom were tenants of Wujiabao originally, and later after we occupied Wujiabao, they covered for us, and we provided them with food and daily necessities. As for Wujiabao, there is not much money, only 200,000 taels, all of which have been looted and killed in recent months. There is a lot of food, more than 10,000 deniers. And this more than 10,000 denier is not our daily use, our daily use is a separate supply. ”

"Shhh When everyone heard this, they all took a cold breath. More than 10,000 deniers is enough for 10,000 people to consume in March.

"Is that all you Uhbor?"

"No, the same is true of the others, and the one from the east is more, these are all gathered little by little by Qi Yan over the course of a year, and they are all stored in the sealed granaries of each Wubao." When Zhao Xun heard this, his face, which had always been wishful, finally changed a little, and at the same time, he saw that Situ Liang also had a strange look, and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

"I don't care what you did before, now you are all members of the Fire Lin Army, and you must follow my rules. Do you have any advice on how your subordinates have to go to the recruit team for three months to train and be assigned to different positions according to their strengths? Zhao Xun looked at Qi Wen and asked.

Qi Wen hurriedly said: "The subordinates have no opinions, and they obey the arrangements of the adults." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "Very good! You go down and rest for half an hour, and at the same time select fifty trustworthy people who are not seriously injured, and then we will take the Wubao in the southwest. ”

Qi Wen knew that Zhao Xun was asking him to accept the name, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates will do it." "Since the object of allegiance has changed, there can be no other thoughts, and Qi Wen understands this very clearly.

After Qi Wen left, Zhao asked: "Lin Luo, your sixth outpost will stay in Wujiabao and guard this place for me." The wall on the north side that we destroyed was built, and the secret sentry was also arranged, so that outsiders could see that this place did not seem to have changed, and that news of this place must not be allowed to spread. In a few days, I will recruit some homeless people here, and you will raise and strengthen the city here. Questions? ”

Lin Luo came out and said: "There is no problem, the castle is here!" ”

"The rest of the people went down and prepared, and after resting for half an hour, they immediately set out and took the castle in the southwest. Spend the night there. ”

After everyone left, Zhao Xun's brows tightened, thinking about what Qi Wen said.

"My lord! Lord Situ asks to see! Zhao Qingshan said outside the door.

"Let him in!"

"Situ Liang has seen adults!"

"Why don't you go to rest? The warehouse can be counted and sealed, is there any problem? ”

Situ Liang said in a low voice: "My lord, you must have guessed the meaning of what Qi Wen said!" That's a big opportunity! ”

"Oh? What chances? Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Why should you pretend not to know? Don't adults want to control Yanzhou Mansion? Situ Liang asked unceremoniously.

"Take control of Yanzhou Mansion? Except for the imperial court, I don't think anyone is so bold, right? ”

"The invasion of the Yan Dynasty, there are spies in Yanzhou Mansion, there will be chaos, why don't you take advantage of the situation, it is better to be a person than to send someone to look at people's eyes. This Qi Yan gathered so much grain and placed it around the Yanzhou Mansion, obviously preparing for the invasion of the Yan Dynasty. Now these things have fallen into our hands, and when the time comes, there will be a dozen of the armies of the Yan Ya and Yanzhou Mansions, and then it will be the day of our rise. ”

Zhao Xun sneered: "Situ Liang, you're kidding, the rafters in the early days rot first, there are so many examples in the Central Plains, don't you want to kill me." ”

"Why do you tempt me? The Central Plains is the hinterland of the imperial court, how can the imperial court let forces that are not under its control appear, let alone rebel guys. Aren't there three provinces in the east that have fallen? No matter how much more the court has, it will not care anymore, rather than being taken by the Yan tribe, it is better for adults to collect it. ”

"You also said that even the three provinces in the east have been lost, and even the Longxiang army can't help the Yan people, and if you let me take food from them, isn't it like an egg hitting a stone." Zhao Xun asked lazily.

Hearing Zhao Xun say this, Situ Liang's eyes lit up, he knew that Zhao Xun actually had ambitions, and hurriedly said: "The fall of the Eastern Three Prefectures is not so much the defeat of the Long Xiang Army, but the imperial court itself gave up, otherwise, how can the Jing people who were pressed and beaten by the Wei Room take the land of the Three Prefectures lightly." And the tribes of the Yan Dynasty thought that the Yan Kingdom was defeated by them, and their ambitions were inflated, and they wanted to take another mansion. As long as you plan well, you will be able to take your place. ”

"What about the more than 7,000 Longxiang troops in the north of Yanzhou Mansion and nearly 10,000 regular army in the entire Yanzhou? Can we take Yanzhou in their hands? Not to mention the west. To the south are the army of the Long Xiang Army, which is tens of thousands of people, not thousands or hundreds. ”

Situ Liang sneered: "The government army of Yanzhou Mansion and the Longxiang army, it is unknown how much they can live in a battle with the Yan Yan?" As for the Long Xiang army in the west and south, they will definitely not take the initiative to fight hard with the Yan Ya. ”

Zhao Xun asked coldly, "Situ Liang, what is your identity?" Which official in Yanzhou do you have a grudge with? Why don't you take tens of thousands of soldiers to heart? But he has been bewitching me, taking advantage of the opportunity of foreign invasion to take Yanzhou Mansion? What the hell do you want? ”

Situ Liang saw the murderous intent hidden in Zhao Xun's eyes, and knew that if he didn't make his identity clear, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out of this house today, and now Zhao Xun is different from the past, he could still see Zhao Xun's meaning before, but now it is becoming more and more difficult to guess.

"I don't have a grudge against a certain official in Yanzhou Mansion, but with the entire imperial court. My father once supervised the imperial history of Youzhou, because he found that various officials and big businessmen in Youzhou colluded with the grassland tribes to sell salt, iron, armor and grassland, so he reported to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would rectify it. Who knew that the result was charged with colluding with foreign enemies, and in the end, the whole house was beheaded, and I was the only one left in the real Situ Liang family who was able to escape. Let me ask, what is my Situ family for? It's not for this court, but what is the result? But what did he get? I'm not convinced! Situ Liang said hatefully.

"So, the information you gave us before is home."

"It's fake, that's because I thought that adults were loyal to a certain official like other private soldiers, but in the past few months, I have found that adults are by no means ordinary people. Therefore, I am willing to assist the adults and make a difference. I wonder what adults think? As for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers? Since ancient times, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, and for the sake of great things, it always needs to be sacrificed. Situ Liang looked at Zhao hopefully and asked.

Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Let's not talk about the future things for the time being, first deal with the things in front of you, you first count the various warehouses here, and do it for the record and budget." ”

Situ Liang knew that Zhao Xun also had this ambition, maybe he was planning this matter, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, then the subordinates will be busy." ”

Seeing Situ Liang leave with a smile, Zhao Xun couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly, hatred is really a lot of power.

"Brother Zhao, why is Lord Situ so happy, he can't stop smiling while walking." Li Ruolan walked in with a basin of water and asked with a smile. Since staying with Zhao Xun, Li Ruolan has been responsible for Zhao Xun's daily life.

"He's got the money!"

"Brother Zhao, just fool me, even if Lord Situ picks up the money again, he won't be happy like that." Li Ruolan put down the basin. Wrenched the towel and wiped the dust on Zhao Xun's forehead and face.

Zhao Xun looked at Li Ruolan in front of him, hugged her willow waist, leaned his head on her waist, smelled the faint fragrance of Li Ruolan's body, and suddenly calmed down a lot.

When Li Ruolan was hugged by Zhao Xun, her body stiffened slightly, she felt Zhao Xun's calmness, slowly relaxed her body, and her hands were gently kneaded on Zhao Xun's forehead.

Mother, my daughter is loyal to finding her own happiness, I will definitely cherish it, and I also experienced what you said that day, the feeling of being loved. Mother, it must be you who bless me in heaven.

"Lan'er, what are you thinking? So fascinating? Feeling Li Ruolan pressing heavily on her temples, Zhao Xun looked at Li Ruolan wandering out of the world and asked with a smile.

Li Ruolan's face turned red, like a child who was caught doing bad things, and stammered: "No...... Didn't think about anything? ”

"Really? I don't think so! ”

"Of course it's true!"

"Lan'er, there is something that is very important to me in the future, but it is still unknown whether it will succeed or not, and this matter is very dangerous for everyone, but the gain is great. Do you think I should do it? Zhao Xun suddenly asked.

Li Ruolan smiled and said: "I don't understand these things, as long as you think it's worth what you do, you can do it, we all support you, but you also have to protect yourself." ”

"I know, how can I live an ordinary life when I am alive, not to mention that I have to avenge my father, I don't believe it, I can't go to that height." Zhao Xun said calmly, but an unknown ambition churned in his heart, a man should wake up and hold the right to kill, drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty! That boy doesn't yearn for it? After Situ Liang's teasing, his thoughts became more and more obvious.
