Huang Quan smiled and said embarrassedly: "General, please rest assured, if the general doesn't block it, I won't really pick it up."

As the two were talking, a soldier ran quickly outside the courtyard and reported: "General, the prince is invited."

Hey, didn't you just play chess in the afternoon, how did you change it to the morning, did you lose yesterday unwillingly, and you want to kill me early in the morning?

looked at Huang Quan next to him. Wang Xu was secretly happy in his heart, fortunately, the prince was invited, otherwise he would have to let this kid be ruined.

"Lead the way in front of the head".

Wang Xu gave an order and followed the soldiers all the way to the Chengqian Palace.

It has been several days since I entered the royal city, and I have walked twice on the way to the Chengqian Palace, but Wang Xu still can't remember that the palace is too big, and the gardens, scenery, and pavilions are the same as the 21st century community, and each place is almost the same, making it difficult to distinguish.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, they arrived at the Chengqian Hall after a while, and after passing the Yulin Army, Wang Xu walked into the main hall: "Lord Wang".

"You are here, sit down", today's Zhou De is different from usual, he did not wear court clothes, nor did he sit on the throne highly, but set up a small table under the main hall, put a small lamp, and two cups of hot tea were fragrant.

Wang Xu was not polite, came to the small table and sat on the ground, picked up the fragrant tea and took a sip: "Good tea".

"I didn't call you here today to ask you to taste tea", Zhou De took out a bamboo slip from his side, handed it to Wang Xu, and said: "Take a good look, the prince has been imprisoned for two days, and the documents played by various counties have been sent to the Chengqian Palace, and this one is from Jingliao County, which is particularly serious."

Wang Xu took the bamboo and looked at it, but just after reading two lines, he returned the bamboo slip to Zhou De, because the text in this place is not the same as the text in the 21st century, and most of them don't know it, Wang Xu smiled awkwardly and said: "Lord Wang, I still can't recognize all these words, can you read it to me."

Zhou De glanced at Wang Xu and scolded angrily: "You kid, martial arts, martial arts are not good; Wencai, you can't even recognize all the words; What kind of general are you still going to be".

"Okay, I'll tell you the general content of this bamboo slip."

Zhou De took a deep breath and said, "The county order of Jingliao County said in the document that Jingliao County has been in drought for several years, and the people have left their hometowns, coupled with the vision half a month ago, Jingliao County has less than 100 households at this moment, and begged Wangcheng to allocate food for rescue."

Wang Xu took a sip of tea again, and said unhurriedly: "Then dial it; As the prince is the chief of a county, the people are in trouble, and the prince must not stand idly by."

"Do you think I have not allocated food to all places? Every year, Wangcheng allocates hundreds of thousands of grain to the counties, but I only know today that the grain has not been distributed to the counties at all, and as soon as it leaves the Wangcheng, it is transported to the military camp outside the city."

Pointing to the bamboo slips on the side, Zhou Dedao said, "Do you see a lot of bamboo slips on the table?" It's all the county orders that ask for help from Wangcheng."

Wang Xu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked weakly, "What does the prince mean?" ”

"I want to send you to escort grain to Jingliao County."

Wang Xu kicked in his heart, and said secretly, from Wangcheng to Jingliao County, hundreds of miles away, during which there was no shortage of thieves, and he was holding so much grain, didn't he know the truth that the husband was innocent and guilty, wasn't that looking for death?

"I know you don't want to, but you don't have a choice, I'm also for your good, I'll go and pick up Shizi from prison later, you are against Shizi everywhere, will he let you go after he gets out of prison? Even if this king has the heart to protect him, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it."

Thinking of the fact that he killed a thousand soldiers of the prince, Wang Xu felt irritated for a while, the prince has not been released from prison yet, and he may not know about it, if the prince knows that he not only let go of his black-clothed killer, but also killed him a thousand soldiers, then the consequences

Wang Xu didn't dare to think about it, since he had the opportunity to leave the royal city, why not take this opportunity to stay away from the prince.

Paying attention, Wang Xu said, "Okay, I'll go."

"Well, you have another task in Jingliao in addition to escorting grain; The last time this king went to Jingliao County, he was robbed by a group of bandits, and the 500 Yulin army was wiped out.

Wang Xu said impassionedly, "Please rest assured, the prince will not be disgraced in the end."

Anyway, it's not himself who is charging into battle, he hasn't been in charge of soldiers since he became a general, and since he is going to suppress bandits this time, the soldiers can't be less, and at least five thousand from the Siya Forbidden Army and the Yulin Army; That's the best of the best.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the prince gave me?"

Zhou De slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Soldiers and horses?" I don't have any soldiers! You can find a way to recruit troops by yourself when you arrive in Jingliao County."

"Damn, lord, you're not joking with me, are you? The bandits who can kill the 500 Yulin army to the end of the army are at least more than 3,000, and I don't have a single soldier under my command, and the newly recruited recruits lack training, how can they succeed."

"Besides, if there are no soldiers and horses, how can I escort grain and grass?"

Wang Xu was completely speechless about this strange old man, escorting hundreds of miles of grain and grass, exterminating thousands of bandits, such a tricky task, how could he not send troops; Do you want Lao Tzu to carry the grain and grass to Jingliao, and then single-handedly rush to the bandits' cottage to suppress the bandits?

"Wang Xu, you also know that the army outside the city has been eyeing my Wangcheng, if I transfer troops to you, wouldn't it give the prince a chance to take advantage of."

Wang Xu opened a pair of dead fish eyes and was silent.

Zhou De thought for a while, considering that Wang Xu was indeed not easy, and said, "In this way, you can go to the outer city defenders to select two thousand soldiers, don't be in a hurry to thank me first; When you get to Jingliao, you have to pay me back these two thousand soldiers."

Thank you fart, I've never seen such a stingy prince! Wang Xu scolded in his heart.

But after thinking about it, Zhou De also has Zhou De's difficulties, if he really took 5,000 elites from the Siya Forbidden Army, maybe Wang Xu walked on the front foot, and the 100,000 army immediately besieged the city.

Well, for everyone's sake, I can only suffer a little loss.

"I'll ask you for someone," Wang Xu said.

"You say, as long as I can give it, this king will give it to you."

Wang Xu continued: "The commander of the Yulin Army, Huang Quan, the last general has been with him for a few days, and he will ask him for martial arts every day, and now he is leaving, he is really reluctant."

"Okay, here you go" Zhou De took out a bamboo slip from behind him, handed it to Wang Xu, and said: "This is your appointment for this mission, this time to suppress bandits, you must fight beautifully, and the bandits are cold; If you are exterminated by bandits, then you don't have to come back."

"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the last general will not disgrace you," Wang Xu affirmed.

At this time, Wang Xu had already begun to plan in his heart, and when he arrived in Jingliao, he would expand the army by 100,000 first, and he didn't believe that the 100,000 army would not be able to take a small cottage.

It's just that they are all recruits, but with Huang Quan here, training for a month, it shouldn't be a problem to suppress bandits.

After paying attention, Wang Xu got up and said goodbye, the prince was about to be released, it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, it was better to leave as soon as possible.
