Chapter 133: Crying Poverty is a Discipline

Jinyang City Assassin Mansion, and the state assassin Lord Ding knelt on the first seat with a displeased face, Zhang Yi knelt on the second seat with a smile on his face, at this time Ding Yuan was very depressed, early in the morning, suddenly received the news of the thief attacking the city, and when he gave the assassination order, he ran to Nancheng with a large team of people and horses, but found that it was a misunderstanding, which would make anyone unhappy, not to mention that Ding originally had an opinion on Zhang Yi, and he was still a martial artist, and his temper was not good.

After the civil and military officials in Jinyang City sat down one after another, Ding Yuan, who had been frowning, immediately looked up at Zhang Yi.

Seeing that Ding Yuan was about to speak, Zhang Yi hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Ding is angry, the general is young, and he doesn't know much about the way to be a general and the way to lead troops, so I hope that my lord will forgive me for leading troops to rush to the city." ”

Zhang Yi, who knew that he was wrong, apologized with a smile at the beginning, which also made Ding Yuan, who wanted to complain about Zhang Yi, speechless.

"Hey~" sighed, Ding Yuan glanced at Zhang Yi, frowned and said: "General Zhang, I hope you won't be so reckless in the future, you don't know much about this one, my entire Jinyang City's four thousand city guards have been mobilized, do you know that this transfer of troops, it is all ......"

Seeing that Ding Yuan was about to turn to the military expenses as he spoke, Zhang Yi hurriedly interrupted him.

"What Lord Ding taught me is that I will know that I am wrong," After apologizing again, Zhang Yi hurriedly changed the topic and turned to Ding Yuan's army: "That...... Lord Ding, I think you also know that in the past six months or so, Ben Jiang has been doing disaster relief, repairing city defenses, and expanding the army, which has always cost money, so he has been very tight. ”

When he spoke, Zhang Yi's expression was sometimes aggrieved, sometimes sighing, and it seemed extremely sincere, which made it difficult for people to refuse at all.

As soon as Zhang Yi's words were finished, Chen Gong, who was sitting in his lower position, suddenly turned red, and his face turned red when he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

Glancing at Zhang Yi, Chen Gongxin said: Ding Yuan's words were not said to his mouth, but he was first proposed by the lord to raise the matter of military expenses, and the lord's counterattack is really powerful, so even if Ding Yuan does not give military expenses, he is embarrassed to ask for military expenses against the lord.

After Chen Gong peeked at Zhang Yi, he peeked at Ding Yuan again, and found that after Ding Yuan listened to Zhang Yi's words, his already frowning brows became tighter.

Ding Yuan is even more depressed now, he originally wanted Zhang Yi to shed some blood because of his recklessness today, but he didn't expect that the words didn't come out, but let him ask him for military expenses from him.

"This ......"

Seeing Zhang Yi crying to himself in turn, the clumsy Ding Yuan suddenly didn't know how to deal with it, and hurriedly gave Feng Juncheng a look on his left.

"This military expense matter, I'm just afraid that General Zhang will have to figure out a way by himself," Feng Juncheng, who understood Ding Yuan's meaning, hurriedly opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "General Zhang also knows that our merger is a poor land, and the imperial grain will be underharvested every year, and this year has suffered another disaster, which is even worse, and now the Xianbei Budu root army is pressing, and from time to time invading the border passes, it is even more difficult for our Lord Ding to support it, so I asked the emperor to ask the imperial court to send troops to suppress the bandits in our own territory, so we can't afford to pay the general's military expenses and food salaries." , Besides, the general was originally a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, shouldn't it be the imperial court to allocate food and pay? ”

That Feng Juncheng's mouth is also powerful, and in a few words, he refuted Zhang Yi's words about asking for food and salary, and turned the spearhead to Luoyang, which made Zhang Yi unable to open his mouth if he wanted to entangle, but Zhang Yi's purpose was not really to ask Ding Yuan to pay, when he dealt with the surname Ding before, he learned that Ding Yuan was born poor, and now although he has an official position and power, but the more power he has, the more he deducts the door, the whole is a half-haired iron rooster, Zhang Yi just said that he just didn't want to give Ding Yuan money, Or maybe Zhang Yi didn't want to share the money with him.

"It turns out that Lord Ding doesn't have a lot of money, I thought it was ...... Hey~" Pretending to sigh, Zhang Yi changed his words and asked: "Lord Ding's food and salary can't support the general, so it's no problem to ordnance and war horses, right?" What General Ben lacks most now is a war horse, isn't it ...... my lord?"

Zhang Yi now has all the cavalry on hand adding up to more than 5,000 horses, of which there are only more than 3,000 war horses, and the other more than 1,000 horses are composed of horses, and horses that pull carts, foot strength and endurance are okay, but the size is much smaller than war horses, and the cavalry with longer legs can almost hang to the ground if their feet hang down naturally, so it is very inconvenient, and there is no advantage of cavalry fighting infantry, so now Zhang Yi lacks the most war horses.

Zhang Yi couldn't ask for money and food, and endlessly begged for ordnance and war horses, which made Ding Yuan frown, and then handed over a look to Na Feng Xiancheng.

After seeing Ding Yuan's eyes, Feng Juncheng smiled and said: "Ordnance and war horses, our adults are also powerless, didn't the officials just say it, now the Xianbei army is pressing, and the ordnance and war horses are also on the front line, so ......"

"Lord Ding," suddenly interrupted Feng Juncheng's words, Zhang Yi looked directly at Ding Yuan with burning eyes and asked, "Even if Lord Martin can't support the military salary, grain and grass and ordnance warfare, then it's still okay to support some iron and steel, right?" The iron ore mines in the state can't also suffer, right? ”

Zhang Yi is the kind of character who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses, he will never give up if he doesn't get something from Ding Yuan, or to be precise, among the things that Zhang Yi wanted to take from Ding Yuan at the beginning, there were iron and steel.

Listening to Zhang Yi's words, Feng Juncheng was about to speak, but Ding Yuan spoke first.

"Okay," nodded helplessly, Ding Yuan frowned and said helplessly: "Since General Zhang came to my state to eliminate harm for the people, the envoy should have some expressions, so let's do it, half a month later, the envoy will deliver 1,000 catties of steel and 3,000 irons to the general, this is all right?" ”

Ding Yuan promised Zhang Yi to give him iron and some steel, but he was also forced to be helpless, Zhang Yi's stubborn pursuit of revenge made it difficult for him to continue to resign, not to mention that he let Zhang Yi come to suppress the bandits also had his own little abacus, but now he is not good at picking out his words.

As soon as Ding Yuan's words were finished, the corners of Zhang Yi's mouth grinned on his ears, and he said in his heart: One thousand points of steel and three thousand iron, a total of only two thousand taels of gold, you Ding Da Thorn can really handle it, an iron rooster that does not pull out a hair.

Although he slandered Ding Yuan in his heart, he also knew that Ding Yuan was already bleeding, and he could only accept it with a smile while slandering Ding Yuan for being stingy.

Seeing that Zhang Yi finally stopped asking for things from him, Ding Yuan was also relieved, he hurriedly said to Zhang Yi that he still had something to do, let Zhang Yi have a good rest, and wait for the banquet at noon to wash him the dust, and after finishing speaking, he left in a hurry with someone.
