When Hong Chengchou heard this, he showed a look of shame, hugged his fists and apologized: "Zhongcheng, don't hide it, Shaanxi has been suffering from famine for many years, and Tian Fu has long been unable to receive a few percent, and there is no money in the hands of the lower officials." ”

Zhang Mengjing listened to the beginning, and felt that something was wrong. After hearing this, his face was already drooping, gloomy and colder than the cold wind outside.

Although before meeting, he also thought of this kind of outcome. But he felt even more that when his new official took office, Hong Chengchou would always move a little no matter what. As long as he has money, coupled with his official authority, he can force Sun Xianzu to send troops.

At this time, listening to Hong Chengchou's meaning, it seems that he will not give a penny. This made Zhang Mengjing, who was looking forward to Hong Chengchou's arrival day and night, extraordinarily disappointed, just when he couldn't suppress his disappointment and was about to explode, he heard Hong Chengchou say indifferently: "If Zhongcheng just wants to exterminate the Fugu thieves, in fact, there is no need to spend money and food." ”

Zhang Mengjing could hardly believe what he heard, thinking that he had misheard. can see Hong Chengchou's appearance, and I am sure that I heard it correctly.

He froze for a moment, and asked with a hint of surprise on his face, "How do you say this?" ”

Hong Chengchou's indifference carried a hint of confidence, and he said eloquently: "The thieves of this Fugu called themselves the Heavenly Army, and when they heard it, they knew that it was caused by the grass people in the countryside, and they should not be called the earth and the earth were not spiritual, and this kind of banner had already doomed them to ruin, so it can be seen that they have self-knowledge." ”

Zhang Mengjing nodded when he heard this, the first time he saw this name, the sentence "Heaven and earth should not be called spiritual" in his mind, but he didn't know what this had to do with Hong Chengchou's statement that there was no need to spend money and food. Therefore, he asked suspiciously: "But these thieves still occupy the county seat of Fugu and plague the place?" ”

Hong Chengchou listened. Still as expected, he replied unhurriedly: "Zhongcheng, these thieves have been in chaos until now because they occupy Fugu County, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, with their little ability, how can they be the opponents of the official army. ”

When Zhang Mengjing heard this, he nodded in approval, but he still frowned and asked, "But you also said it." The county town of Fugu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the thieves hide in the city, our army will have to pay a great price to capture it. This settling-in fee is not paid. How can an army be pulled? ”

As long as you know a little bit about the art of war, you know that attacking a city requires several times the number of troops and a lot of casualties. Those border troops are all old oilers. How can you not know? There's no money for them to do such a thing. Who is stupid!

"Returning to Zhongcheng and capturing Fugu County, in the eyes of the lower officials, it is as easy as a snap! Plus ......" Hong Chengchou said his countermeasures in detail, which made Zhang Mengjing more and more happy the more he listened, and his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

After Hong Chengchou finished speaking, Zhang Mengjing looked at him with an indifferent face and praised happily: "Heng Jiu, Heng Jiu, the matter that has plagued this official for a long time has come into your hands." It's amazing how easy it is! ”

Hong Chengchou listened. smiled slightly, and replied modestly: "Zhongcheng praised!" If it weren't for Zhongcheng reminding the lower officials, those thieves called themselves the Heavenly Army, and the lower officials would not have been able to get a crack even if they were familiar with books such as "Historical Records", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Three Kingdoms", and "Sun Tzu's Art of War". ”

"Oh, hahaha......" Zhang Mengjing laughed when he heard this, the problem was solved, and by the way, he was slapped by Hong Chengchou, and he was in a particularly good mood.

Seeing this, Hong Chengchou maintained his demeanor and just smiled.

After Zhang Mengjing was a long time, he suppressed his laughter and said loudly: "Heng Jiu is erudite and talented, if the Fugu is successful, this official will definitely recommend it to the imperial court, this district is a grain governor to participate in politics, it is really overkill for Heng Jiu!" ”

At this time, hello, hello, everyone, both of them laughed tacitly.

It didn't take long for Zhang Mengjing to give an order, and the generals under the jurisdiction of the governor of Yansui had to report to the governor's mansion again.

Along the way, these generals have already guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten, and Zhongcheng must be in a hurry for Fugu! They all made up their minds that they would not move without money, and how much money they had would contribute!

As soon as the hour came, the generals entered the governor's hall and found that Zhang Mengjing was already sitting majestically on the top. To the right of him, there was also a civil servant. Some people recognized at a glance that this dignified-looking young civil official was Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi Province.

They couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, wouldn't the governor really take money out of this Hong Chengchou's mouth?

After seeing the salute, Zhang Mengjing really asked them to gather their forces and go to exterminate the Fugu thieves as soon as he opened his mouth.

As a result, these generals immediately began to complain about their difficulties. It's like the current situation, if they hadn't relied on their prestige to suppress it, maybe the big soldiers below would have learned from the Guyuan Mutiny.

This time, Zhang Mengjing let them talk, not annoyed at all. It's just that the corners of his mouth are not skimmed, and there is a sneer on it, looking like he is smiling at the performance of the clown jumping beam below.

Speaking of which, these generals also found it boring. Anyway, I made up my mind, I didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, and I didn't see the silver and didn't send troops. One by one, they finally kept silent and became the mud bodhisattvas in the temple.

A bunch of martial artists! Zhang Mengjing secretly despised it in his heart, and then said in a slightly softened voice: "Heng Jiu, you can tell me the specific strategy for destroying Fugu!" ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he stood up and bowed to Zhang Mengjing and said, "Yes, Zhongcheng!" ”

When the generals heard this, they all looked at Hong Chengchou, not knowing what kind of moth strategy he was going to come up with. Anyway, if you don't come up with the money, it's just a big deal, and we'll just let you fart!

Hong Chengchou faced the generals, cleared his throat, and said in his low and magnetic voice: "The Fugu thieves, calling themselves the Heavenly Army, occupy the county seat, endanger the place, and even harm the neighboring Jin land......"

Listening to his opening remarks, he was very disdainful in the hearts of a group of people who played the mud bodhisattva. You civil officials just emphasize the dangers of those thieves, but if you don't have money, I'm sorry, my uncle won't serve!

"According to local reports, the Fugu thieves looted countless silver coins and countless materials, all of which were piled up in Fugu County. It can be said that the county seat of Fugu at this time is like a golden mountain. If you lay down the county seat of Fugu......"

When Hong Chengchou said this, he didn't even say any more. Let the generals can't help but itch in their hearts. Before, they were just thinking about fighting and asking for money, but they didn't think about the money looted by the Fugu thieves.

At this time, listening to Hong Chengchou's description, his greed could no longer be hidden. They all turned their heads, looked at Hong Chengchou, and waited eagerly for him to say what would happen if he defeated Fugu County?

When Zhang Mengjing saw the ugliness of the generals, he felt a burst of disdain in his heart. He turned his eyes slightly, looked at Hong Chengchou's back, and sighed in his heart, talents are rare! (To be continued......)
