Everyone followed Chengtian to Youzhou City, and the sentries standing guard at the gate of the city were all old, weak, sick and disabled, looking like they were floating in the wind. A patrol walked by, and the last soldier fell to the ground as he walked, as if he hadn't eaten in days......

Even He Shuai couldn't help frowning and asked, "Brother Chengtian, will you hand over the security work of Youzhou City to these people?" ”

"Hey!" Cheng Tian couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, "No way, everyone has seen it." Since Youzhou City came into my hands, it has been such a mess, I really can't say it! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Chengtian continued: "Otherwise, if I really had 700,000 lions, I would not let the Turkic soldiers sit idly by and ask for your help." ”

Of course, Chengtian will not arrange the elite soldiers and strong generals to guard the gate here, these old, weak, sick and disabled people are all dressed in military clothes by the people he temporarily found from Youzhou City. The reason why he made such a play was to convince everyone of what he said. Real soldiers, undergoing rigorous training.

The idiot suggested in the alliance channel: "Big brother, why don't we take this opportunity to take Youzhou City in one fell swoop to get rid of future troubles?" ”

"Brother is stupid, it makes sense." Chu Tianyun agreed, "He Shao, this is indeed a good opportunity that cannot be missed!" Once Chengtian has eliminated the invading Turks, with his character and past style, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not target us again. ”

"That's right, even if we force the Tongtian River, we will now have the advantage." Chen Lu also smiled, "I'll contact my wealthy businessmen in Phoenix City to prepare to raise money to summon mercenaries." ”

The reason why they said this was because they saw that He Shuai would not do this, which was purely a kind joke.

Sure enough, He Shuai ignored the brothers' suggestions in the alliance channel and asked Xiang Chengtian: "Brother Chengtian, what about the 50,000 elite soldiers that the court rewarded you?" ”

"Hey, it's okay not to mention it!" Chengtian said as he walked, "I already said on the boat just now, but now I am overwhelmed by these 700,000 wounded soldiers, and I really can't afford another 50,000." ”

He Shuai said 'oh', Liu Peng was afraid that he would be compassionate, so he was busy shouting in the alliance channel: "Brother, don't you fight the idea of gang funds, Chengtian I won't give a penny!" We can come to help him, which is already a big face. Not to mention, in the future, our own soldier who will be injured in the war will ask who will ask for medical expenses, and if we want to help him get more money from me, it is impossible, absolutely impossible! ”

"Hehe, I didn't say I wanted to sponsor him, why are you in a hurry!" He Shuai finally replied in the alliance channel, "Chengtian's words are not true and untrue! The tax revenue of such a large city alone is enough for him to enjoy, and he will not be able to raise an army of 700,000? However, Peng Peng, your iron rooster character, you really didn't choose the wrong person to be the Minister of Finance in the first place. ”

"Big brother, it turns out that you are all clear!" The idiot said excitedly, "Look, should we do it now?" ”

"Nope! I still don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, and there are so many gang bosses present. His appearance of worrying about the country and the people just now has shaken many people, and we are now doing something wrong. He Shuai said with a smile, "Besides, helping the imperial court solve the foreign invasion is also our business, let's take one step at a time." ”

"Understood!" Everyone replied.

When I came to the city lord's mansion in Youzhou City, Chengtian asked the family to bring fragrant tea to greet everyone.

He Shuai glanced at the tea leaves, and it was estimated that they were not much better than Zhu Maolin's tea powder, so he simply asked, "Brother Chengtian, when are you going to do it?" Tell your brothers about any plans. ”

Cheng Tian took a sip of tea and said: "This matter is not urgent, the purpose of my invitation to you today is mainly to see how many patriotic volunteers are willing to send troops to help." ”

"Oh." He Shuai nodded and said, "The bosses of all the gangs of our Imperial Alliance have arrived, as long as it is to destroy the Turkic invaders, you can just give orders if you have something." ”

While the two were talking, a soldier came in at the door and reported: "Report, Lord of the City, the minister sent by the imperial court is waiting outside the door, do you want to meet you?" ”

Cheng Tian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let him in!" There is no outsider here, and I will meet him here. "I didn't mean to go and ask for it.

Soon after the soldiers went out, a man dressed in eunuch attire with a holy decree in his hand entered, followed by several expressionless guards. This person was known to many of the people sitting here, and he walked in with small steps.

"Grandpa Zhang?" He Shuai exclaimed, and hurriedly got up from the chair to greet him. This person is the old emperor's most trusted eunuch, Gonggong Zhang.

"Yo, you're here too!" Father-in-law Zhang smiled, "I haven't seen you for many days, and I am more energetic." ”

"Thank you and your blessings!" He Shuai said politely, "Father-in-law, are you here today?" ”

"No, the Holy God ordered me to come and proclaim the decree!" Gonggong Zhang raised the holy decree in his hand and said, "My lord, let's talk later, and our family will announce the holy oracle first." He Shuai replied respectfully and stepped aside.

Zhang Gongcheng straightened up and shouted, "The holy decree has arrived!" Everyone kneels and obeys! ”

Cheng Tian hurriedly got down from the handsome case, and in the face of the holy decree, even if he made a appearance, he had to do his whole job, and knelt down respectfully in front of Gonggong Zhang.

The others, even though they had not gone through this formation, also learned to fall to their knees. Only He Shuai stood in place, and the old emperor passed on the message: General Zhongwu, from now on I will allow him to enter and leave the palace freely, and all officials will see it, and the civil officials will get off the sedan chair and the military attache will dismount to show respect.

Father-in-law Zhang naturally knew Heshuai's temper, cleared his throat and read out the holy decree: "Holy Decree:

In recent years, the Turks in the north have frequently harassed the people at our border gates, and the people are living in dire straits, and my heart aches. I wanted to drive the expedition many times, but because of my advanced age, I had more than enough strength to do so.

Today, Chengtian, the lord of Youzhou City, took the initiative to ask me for his life, and wanted to take command to attack the Turkic headquarters, and I was very happy when I heard about it.

After thinking about it, I decided to order the general Chengtian to be the generalissimo of the expedition against the enemy, and lead all the troops and horses to attack the Turks in the north.

General Zhongwu and Captain Chu Tianyun of Zhaowu were the deputy marshals of the expedition to the enemy, responsible for the deployment of troops and the command of the battle.

The god of blood and flowers was crowned as the supervisor of the army, and assisted the generalissimo and deputy marshal in the supply of grain and grass.

I hope you can cooperate sincerely, and on the day of your triumphant return, I will set a big celebration wine for you in the Lin De Palace! ”

After the announcement of the holy decree, Gonggong Zhang smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please exercise your responsibilities and rights and serve the country!" Don't let it down, Holy Majesty! ”

"Long live Emperor Xie, long live long live, long live, long live!" Everyone shouted in unison and slowly stood up.

Chengtian, Heshuai, Chu Tianyun, and the God of Blood Flowers, the titles of special appointments appeared on the heads of the four of them.

Gonggong Zhang took out a silver ticket of 200,000 yuan from his cuff and said: "This is the funds allocated by the imperial court as the grain and grass for soldiers and horses in the early stage, which adult do you think is suitable for safekeeping?" ”

"The grain and grass funds are naturally controlled by the blood flower god of the prison army! You don't have any opinions, do you? Cheng Tian asked with a smile, he is now not only the city lord of Youzhou City, but also the commander of the three armies of the enemy's army. And taking 200,000 to buy the Blood Flower God is also a good choice.

"That's nature!" He Shuai nodded and said.

"Brother Chengtian, no, now I'm going to be called the Generalissimo!" Chu Tianyun sneered and sneered, "Generalissimo, don't you leave 18,000 for the soldiers in the city to see a doctor?" ”
