"Mingzhi, Dong Jun, what should I do next?" Orr, Wen Chou saw that everyone's mood was calm, and couldn't help asking. With so many supplies, especially horse corpses, so conspicuous, you can't take them to buy food! That's why I asked.

Hearing this, Chen Ning said respectfully: "Leave a tun of people to find a slightly hidden place and hide!" After all, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

"Well, what Chen Shuzuo said is very true, if you want to come to a hundred people, if you don't encounter most of the thieves, it will be enough to protect yourself, and we still need soldiers and horses to deter those rich and wealthy families, and we won't have any people." When Dong Jiang heard this, he smiled bitterly.

Indeed, in the case of the unsound military department of Taolinsai, the disadvantages of the current lack of soldiers have been revealed! But there is no way to do this, these 800 people are still set up by Wen Chou in the east and west of the province! No, we have to go out to buy food to keep the military headquarters running! With the current situation of Shahe Township, it is already good to be able to raise these 800 people.

Wen Scandal said, also smiled bitterly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Okay, that's it, Mingzhi and Dong Jun need to go with me to buy grain, and these people who stay behind should be cautious." Wen Chou glanced at the leaders and team leaders of the tuns present, and then said: "This time the team led Liu Qing to be meritorious, so you will lead the fourth tun to be responsible for the matter of staying behind!" I don't think it will disappoint me. The others went with me to Luancheng to buy grain. ”

When Liu Qing heard this, he came out of the crowd at the moment, and half-knelt and replied loudly: "I will not dishonor the king's life!" His voice trembled slightly, and he knew that if this mission was successfully completed again, the position of the commander would be gone! How can you not be excited?!

"No!" The other people also made a loud promise, looking at Liu Qing with envy, but they were also more motivated, I believe that Wen Jun will not favor one over the other, if they have made great contributions, they will also be promoted.

Seeing this, Wen Chou instructed Liu Qing a few more things before leading people to leave.

So, the group returned to the original way, and it was no problem, but it was a little slower than when they came.

Compared to the nervousness when they came, the whole team is now a little calmer, and everyone is just looking forward to completing the task sooner so that they can go back and have a big meal, which is horse meat! At the moment, let alone horse meat, even during the New Year's holidays, there may not be any family willing to give up some pig meat and dog bones to satisfy their hunger! Even Wen Chou has not known the taste of meat for four or five months, let alone other people!

This time, the road was flat, and nothing happened to come to this Luan City.

But seeing a city wall about three or four battles high standing in front of me, the mottled wall, a little dilapidated, there are a few teams of soldiers at the head of the wall, a little nervously looking at the strict appearance of the Wen Chou army under the city, after all, there are only one or two hundred people on duty in the entire southern city, and suddenly there are three hundred neat troops appearing right now, who is not nervous? Although he didn't see any unfavorable actions, he seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy, but he didn't dare to be careless.

Quickly there was a middle-aged man who looked like a military marquis, dressed and dressed to the top of the city, swept the ugly army under the city, couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his heart suddenly burst: "I haven't heard of any chief coming to the county seat, look at the person who is taking the lead now, he is quite young and heroic, isn't it a son and brother who has come here?" But it's not like it! Right now, this team of people has a lot of blood stains on their clothes, and they have obviously just fought bloodily!"

The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became, and he didn't think much about it at the moment, and asked, "Dare to ask where Your Excellency came from and what happened?" "It's quite imposing.

When this military marquis observed Wen Chou at the same time, Wen Chou was also observing him, only to see that he was dressed in a drape, neatly dressed, and at first glance he was not an ordinary gatekeeper captain, at least he was also a Qu Commander! Therefore, Wen Chou was not lazy, so he responded: "Taolin Captain Wen Zixiao, come to pay homage to the deceased, your county order Du Gong!" I wonder if I can trouble the general to report one or two? ”

"Captain Taolin, you are Captain Taolin?" The officer was shocked for a while, and then hurriedly said: "Please wait a while, Captain Wen, I will order someone to go and invite Du Gong!" "After all, during this period of time, the matter of Captain Taolin is in Changshan, but it has been a lot of trouble! Perhaps, the poor people below have never heard of it, but a middle- and upper-level officer like him knows very well! After all, the first army rebuilt by Taolinsai, which had been abandoned for decades, was one of the few independent legions in Changshan Country! Who wouldn't want to get involved!

"Then there is General Lao, I don't know the general's name?" Wen Chou arched his hand and smiled.

"Contemptible Li Xiang, just a small Qu Chang, how dare he be called a general? It's the name of Captain Wen, who is contemptible like thunder, and now he can see it, it's really a blessing for three lives! The marquis complimented. Although the identity of the person at the moment has not yet been confirmed, after all, where is the name of Wen Chou's captain, he does not dare to slack off

It's a long story, but it's short, and the two of them, one at the head of the city and the other under the city, also have a good conversation. Wen Chou is not in a hurry, after all, now, it is almost dusk, and he can't catch up with the rich and wealthy families to buy grain.

Speaking of Du Yi, I was overjoyed to hear that Wen Chou came to visit, after all, Wen Chou has an army, if there is a time of crisis, it is his big help! In this era of war and chaos, nothing can compare to the joy of having an army in hand.

"Zixiao came to the county, the old man has lost his welcome, and he is guilty of sin!" Du Yi just walked to the gate of the city, saw the ugliness, and hurriedly confessed his guilt. When Li Xiang heard this, he knew the identity of Captain Wen Chou Taolin, and he was also busy leading people down from the city and stepped forward to salute.

Wen Chou saw that Du Yi was wearing an official robe with a purple ribbon, a black mark on his waist and hips, a high crown on his head, black shoes on his feet, and seven or eight subordinate officials on both sides accompanied him, so he was not majestic and comfortable. Then he laughed loudly: "Du Gong, I won't see you in April, and my demeanor is better than in the past, so it's better to be honest!" "This is the truth, although Wen Chou has obtained an official position and a military position, but they are all hard jobs, and they are often frugal, how can they be like Du Yi, some of them are spent on money and food!

"Haha, how can you compare to Wenjun, a young general, the majesty of being in charge of one side, contemptible!" Du Yi hurriedly smiled.

Dong Jiang and Chen Ning met Du Yi when they were in Shahe, and they also said: "I've seen Du Gong." ”

"Hey, isn't this Chen Sheng under Gong Jiang?" Du Yi saw Chen Ning and asked. When Du Yi was in Shahe Township, he often went to Chen Pengli to find the third elder Jiang Cheng to solve his questions, and he still remembered Jiang Cheng, Chen Ning, a protégé who was a prisoner.

"There is a record of Lao Du Gong, and the contemptible person is fortunate to be in the eyes of Wenjun, the captain of Taolin, and now Wenjun has added the position of Shuzuo under Wenjun's account." When Chen Ning heard this, he replied fluently, but he was neither humble nor arrogant. In particular, the four words 'Taolin Captain' are even more stressed. Of course, he is supporting Wen Chou, and he said that Wen Chou's military position is on par with the head of a county in Du Yi, but it is not a villain's words.

Wen Chou knew Chen Ning's good intentions, and immediately turned his eyes to the person behind Du Yi, took over the conversation and said, "These are all colleagues? But they are all in high spirits! ”

Du Yi was not annoyed by Chen Ning's words, but nodded and smiled with Wen Chou. thought to himself: "It looks like Wen Chou is going to attack Jiang Gong, hehe, I hope I am not mistaken." ”

"Haha, it is the officials of this county, this place is not a place to talk, Zixiao, please follow me into the city, and then introduce one or two to you!" Du Yi stepped forward and said in a loud voice.

"Then I'll bother Du Gong." Wen Chou also happily agreed, and followed Du Yi.

Immediately, a group of people came and went. Fortunately, it was already sunset, and when night fell, there were few people coming and going, but there was not much chaos. Even so, the rumors that the county officials were greeting a general also dispersed, and for a time there were rumors in the city, and there were all kinds of speculations.

No matter what kind of rumors the residents of Luancheng County have generated because of Wen Chou's arrival, it is only said that the county ordered Du Gong to invite a group of officials to hold a banquet to entertain Wen Chou and his party.

In the lobby, Du Yigao sat in the main seat, and the rest of the officials lined up, sitting opposite Wen Chou and others who knelt on the guest seat. Orr, delicacies, singing and dancing. Of course, those soldiers have their own Li Xiang in charge of entertaining

"Zixiao, now is the time when thieves are everywhere and disturbing the villagers, how can you have time to come to me?" After Du Yi picked up a wine bottle and gestured, he frowned and asked.

"Hehe, Du Gong, don't hide it, there is something to ask for below!" Wen scandal said, knowing that it was the right thing, you are not welcome, and said it at the moment.

"Oh, what's the matter? can actually stump the 'chivalrous filial piety', you might as well talk about it. Du Yi said with interest.

"Cough, Du Gong also knows that in the area of Pingjiansha River, there have been many military famines in recent years, resulting in the people under his jurisdiction, many are not rich, and there are even more hungry people, and now there are displaced people from all over the world rushing in, and the grain and grass have long been exhausted, no more than Luancheng County, far away from the place where thieves are entrenched, I think the people are still rich in food, right?" Wen Chou said euphemistically.

"Oh, so Zixiao came here this time to ask for food and grass?" Du Yi frowned and said unhappily. After all, he has only been in office for four months, and he can stabilize the situation, if he promises to give Wen Chou a batch of grain and grass, then he will not stay long in Luancheng County, even if he is the head of a county! And if he doesn't agree to Wen Chou's words, it will seem that he is ruthless and unrighteous, doesn't this make him a dilemma!

When Wen Chou saw Du Yi's face, he didn't know his concerns, and said with a smile: "Haha, Du Gong, it's not to ask for it, it's really to buy!" It's just that in terms of price, you still need to bother Du Gong to take care of one or two, as long as it's not too outrageous. The amount is relatively large, and you still need the support and assistance of the rich families in your city! ”

When Du Yi heard this, he smiled at the moment, praised Haikou and said: "Haha, where Zixiao said, that is, to buy, the price of grain and grass in my county will definitely satisfy you!" Since it doesn't make him bleed, and it won't make it too difficult for him to be a person, he is naturally happy to agree, and he is more willing to give Wen Chouluo a good impression.

"Then on behalf of the 20,000 people of Shahe, thank Du Gong!" Wen scandal said, thank you loudly.

At present, other officials in the hall are also talking to each other. I'm afraid that before dawn, the news of Wen Chou coming to buy grain has spread all over the county.

Then, everyone was again for a while, pushing the glass and talking with compliments. Make the guests and hosts happy, and it is no problem.

That night, Wen Chou, Chen Ning, and Dong Jiang stayed in the official office.
