Seven days passed in a flash, and due to the relationship of the Wing Dragon Army, Akiba City did not get a grain from Yanjing, and the stored grain gradually ran out.

The price of rice and grain in the city rose day by day, more grain merchants began to sell grain in limited quantities, and the people's complaints also accumulated day by day.

On this day, Qu Yang and Mu Han Lianjue came to the General's Mansion and asked Ye Long for food and grass.

Mu Leng looked at Ye Long, as if he was facing his own servant, and said: "The food and grass of my hungry wolf army is about to run out, and this general will not care if you rob or steal, you will be limited to three days to make up enough for a month." ”

Qu Yang said with a smile: "My Pingjiao Army still has a lot of food, it doesn't have to be the same as General Mu Han's hungry wolf army, as long as General Ye Long helps us prepare half a month's worth of grain and grass." ”

Now that there is this retreat of Daqian, Ye Long is not afraid to turn his face with the two, and said without showing weakness: "If you want so much grain and grass, you can go to Yanjing to ask for it yourself." General Ben can tell you that the grain and grass in Akiba City is less than half a month, and it can only be provided to you on a daily basis, or wait for the grain from Yanjing to come in, if you want more, you can figure it out yourself, and General Ben will never interfere. ”

Qu Yang's eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce light, with a threatening tone, and said: "General Ye Long's words are not too full, we are here to support Autumn Leaf City, if there is something wrong with the soldiers below because of the lack of food and grass, don't blame General Ben for being unpredictable." ”

Mu Han said even more unceremoniously: "Ye Long, General Ben is now telling you that you won't be able to see the grain and grass I need within three days, and General Ben will directly take someone to your Autumn Leaf Army's granary to get it personally." ”

Anger rose in Ye Long's heart when he heard this, if there was only one Dali God Army, he Qiuye Army would still have the confidence to compete with it to see who was stronger and who was weaker, but the two Zhenguo Army, so that he couldn't raise the slightest idea of resistance, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a gloomy face: "If the two of you have the ability, go to the Qianjun to grab food, and shout in front of me."

If you dare to touch the grain and grass in Akiba City, General Ben will send someone to set a fire and burn all the grain. ”

Seeing this, Qu Yang immediately understood that they had forced Ye Long too hard before, and even came up with this method of splitting up in two, and hurriedly persuaded: "Hehe, General Ye Long said that it was a joke, our two armies saved Autumn Leaf City by His Majesty's order, and the grain and grass they brought were insufficient, without the supply of Autumn Leaf City, the strength of the army could not be brought into play, and the next battle would be hanging, and the two of us were confident that we would break through, but the Autumn Leaf Army would ......"

Ye Long knew this, precisely because he understood that his current status depended on the Autumn Leaf Army and Autumn Leaf City, if there were no these two, whether it was Qu Yang in front of him, Mu Han and the two of them, or the cadres outside the city, they would not look at him at all.

If he had a choice, he would never let anyone enter Akiba City one step, how comfortable it was here, and all the affairs of Akiba City were personally controlled by Emperor Tiangao.

After a night conversation with Sun Gan, the Qianjun gave him a maximum of five guerrilla generals, and would not give him control of Autumn Leaf City, and he had a trace of expectation for the second army to retreat.

Slightly relieved, he still complained bitterly: "Actually, you also know how much food I have stored in Autumn Leaf City, so I can only allocate it to you day by day, and if you want more food, you can only go to Yanjing to ask for it, and I have no choice!"

General Ben can only guarantee within his best efforts that even if the grain and grass in Akiba City are cut off, your two armies will be the last to run out of food, right? ”

Qu Yang frowned slightly when he heard this, and he also knew in his heart that Ye Long was completely a clever woman and had no power to cook smoke. In the past few days, the cadres outside the city have been attacking the city with a large number of people, or the hungry wolf army and the Pingjiao army are trying their best to resist in order to prevent the cadres from attacking the city again and again, and at this moment they can't take out the manpower to escort grain and grass to Yanjing, with a sense of warning, and said: "It's so troublesome General Ye Long, once our two armies don't get the corresponding grain and grass, don't blame us for letting go." ”

Ye Long's hanging heart finally let go, if he had a choice, he didn't want to fall out with the two completely, took a deep breath, and said, "Please rest assured, when Yanjing's grain and grass arrive, I will definitely make up for you." ”

Qu Yang gave Mu Han a look and said, "Since this is the case, the two of us will leave first." ”

Mu Han said lazily: "Farewell." ”

Ye Long didn't care about Mu Han's attitude, and said with a smile: "Liu Quan sent the two generals for me. ”

Liu Quan, who was guarding the door, bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Two generals, go this way." ”

As soon as the two left, Xin Bo walked out from behind the screen, hugged his fists and said, "General." ”

Ye Long looked at the backs of Mu Han and the two in a daze, took the tea and drank it all, and said happily: "General Ben has been aggrieved for so many days, and finally hardened for a while, it's really cool." ”

Xin Bo shook his head noncommittally and said, "Now is not the time for the general to think about this, you should have prepared early!" ”

Ye Long felt as if he had poured a basin of cold water on his head when he heard this, and sighed a little disappointedly: "Is there really no way for Mr. Xin?" ”

Xin Bo smiled bitterly: "The general should also see that the cadre army has no strength at all, they completely regard Autumn Leaf City as a place for military training, and if it weren't for the desperate resistance of the hungry wolf army several times, Autumn Leaf City has been captured by the cadre army."

And now the biggest problem in Autumn Leaf City is the lack of grain and grass, and there is no news about the grain and grass from Yanjing, and it will be completely late if the general doesn't make any plans. ”

Ye Long was born in the army in the end, and he made up his mind not to change it completely, for the sake of future glory and wealth, he could only stand against the Hungry Wolf Army and the Peace Jiao Army, and said coldly: "Sir, what do you say General Ben should do?" ”

Xin Bo had already thought of a way, and said: "First of all, put medicine in the grain and grass of the two armies, it must not be poison and sweat medicine, and it can be identified according to the experience of the two armies." ”

Ye Long frowned, and said, "If you don't use poison, my Qiushui Army doesn't have that strength at all, and it won't be able to stop the attack of their two armies at all!" ”

Xin Bo walked to Ye Long's side, looked around, and whispered: "The general can be a chin bean, no matter what strange people are, they can't stop the power of croton, and I believe they can't distinguish croton." ”

"Good idea, what else does Mr. Xin have?" Ye Long's eyebrows revealed a hint of joy, and he hurriedly asked.

"Try to contact the families and heroes in the city, as the head snake of Autumn Leaves City, the Autumn Leaves Army is full of their ears and eyes, and our actions will definitely not be able to hide from them.

And I firmly believe that they will not sink with the broken ship of leaving the country, we don't need any help from them, as long as they don't hold us back. Simbo hurriedly said.

Ye Long nodded and said, "What Mr. Xin said is too reasonable, the tentacles of these families are all over Akiba City, even if General Ben sometimes feels constrained in doing things, but they are a good helper in this matter." ”

Hearing this, a trace of disdain flashed in Xin Bo's heart, and he said secretly: I have been in Autumn Leaves City for so many years, and I still don't know your style, and you are a good hand at robbing and grabbing. The big families don't dare to move, and the small and medium-sized families are ruthless, if it weren't for the many small and medium-sized families in Akiba City uniting together, they would all be robbed by you, the bastard.

On the bright side, of course, Xin Bo would not say this, but echoed: "What the general said is extremely true, and the last step needs the help of Mr. Sun Qian. ”

Ye Long was suddenly a little displeased, Autumn Leaf City is such a big place, the biggest credit is the merit of the city, if you bring Sun Qian, wouldn't you want to share a part of the credit to him, and said: "Mr. Xin, we can contact the Qianjun by ourselves, Sun Qian, I think forget it!" ”

Xin Bo almost didn't die of anger, at this time, this guy still wanted to leave Sun Gan, and said: "General, without Sun Gan's help, the Qianjun army will not believe us at all."

Besides, the general has no emotional ties with the rest of the cadre army, and we can only maintain a good relationship with Sun Qian now before we can gain a foothold in the cadre army in the future. Even if the future general inadvertently offends someone, there are still people in the court who help the general speak. ”

Ye Long thought about it, but this is the reason, he can now sit firmly in Autumn Leaves City for many years, and there is also someone in the court to help speak, and said: "That's okay, just do what Mr. says." ”

After a pause, he shouted outside the door: "Liu Quan come in." ”

Liu Quan bowed and walked in, arching his hand and saying, "Master, what do you command?" ”

Ye Long said loudly: "Liu Quan will hold my name later, and he will say that General Ben will have a banquet for the patriarchs of the major families in Rumeng Tower. ”

Liu Quan was a little embarrassed and said: "Master, it's not a small excuse. With the relationship between our General's Mansion and them, the little ones are afraid that they shouldn't! ”

Xin Bo hurriedly said: "Steward Liu doesn't have to worry, if someone asks why the general is feasting, he will say that it is to raise military rations." All those who did not arrive will be charged with colluding with thieves and exterminated their families. ”

Liu Quan looked at Ye Long hesitantly and said, "Is it really okay for the general to say that?" ”

Ye Long scolded: "Look at what you see, just do what Mr. Xin said, and don't get out and ask for someone." ”

Liu Quan hurriedly nodded and said in a panic: "Yes, yes, let's do it for the small one." ”

..........

Rumeng Building is five floors high, each floor is decorated with noble and gorgeous decoration, it is the largest spring building in Akiba City, and there are often children of families, officials, and wealthy businessmen who spend a lot of money here.

However, since Ye Long came to Autumn Leaf City, this Dream Tower was taken down by Ye Long by some means.

At this time, Rumenglou was ordered by Ye Long that no one was allowed to enter or leave except for the guests he was entertaining.

The private room on the top floor of the fifth floor was full of guests, and after a song and dance, Ye Long waved his hand and said, "You guys go down!" ”

"Yes."

The piano girl and the dancer slowly retreated after giving a salute.

Ye Long played with the wine glass, looked at everyone present with a smile, and said, "You must have some guesses about the banquet with me today, and listen to Ye Mou's arrival." ”

Ye Long raised his hands and applauded, and then saw Sun Gan, who was wearing an official robe, pushing the door in.

Ye Long got up and walked over, pulled Sun Gan and walked to the chief to sweep the people under his eyes, and said with a smile: "General Ben will introduce to you, this is Sun Gan, the envoy of the Qianjun army, Lord Sun." ”

There was an uproar at the bottom of the moment, although there were greedy, lustful, loyal, shrewd, and short-sighted among these people, but there was absolutely no fool to sit down as the head of the family, and when he saw Ye Long inviting Sun Qian, he immediately understood that Ye Long planned to take refuge in the Qianjun.

Ye Long waited for a while, and saw that everyone was quiet, and then said: "Emperor Li's current perverse behavior and favor the demon monks, causing chaos in the world and the displacement of the people. ”

After a pause, he said: "General Ben is here to invite you today, just to ask you, who is willing to join General Ben to serve the Great Cadres?" ”

Chen Fu of the Chen family, one of the five great families in Autumn Leaf City, got up and solemnly refused: "My Chen family is loyal and righteous, and I have been deeply favored by the imperial court for generations, and I will never be in the same league with a thief like you, so I will leave first." ”

Ye Long looked at Chen Fu deeply, since he came to Autumn Leaf City, he knew that the relationship between the Chen family and the imperial court was inextricably linked, and he had always been inseparable from the water of the Chen family's well.

Da Li is about to sink this broken ship, this Chen Fu is still so uninteresting, he actually embarrassed him in front of so many people, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Who else is not willing to set things right with General Ben?" ”

In an instant, more than a dozen people got up one after another, among these people were either allies of the Chen family, or they had their own news channels, knowing the power of Cihang Pudu, they were not optimistic about the Qianjun, and said in unison: "General Ye Long, don't think too highly of yourself, Qiuye City is not your family's monopoly, and we are not willing to join the Qianjun." ”

A cold light flashed in Ye Long's eyes, in order to keep these people secret, he was going to die, and he didn't want to talk to a dead person like them, so he raised his wine glass and raised it at everyone, saying, "Is there anything else?" In the future, as long as you keep your mouth shut, General Ben will still be the same as before, and will not interfere with your well water. ”

Everyone below listened to Ye Long's words, looked at Ye Long playfully, and felt a burst of hehe, who takes your words seriously is a fool, I'm afraid that all the people who are contrary to your opinions today will not be able to get out of this door.

After waiting for a while, Ye Long saw that no one got up anymore, and shouted outside the door: "Come on, Chen Fu intends to rebel, collude with the cadres and army, betray the intelligence of Autumn Leaf City, and give him and his henchmen all to General Ben." ”

As soon as the words fell, several teams of swords and axes rushed in in an instant, taking down Chen Fu and the others.

Chen Fu immediately struggled and shouted: "Ye Long, you fart, the old man has never betrayed Autumn Leaf City, it is Ye Long, it is Ye Long who wants to take refuge in the cadre army." ”

"Don't! We were wronged, General Ye Long gave us a chance, and the villain was willing to re-elect. ”

"General Ye Long, we were wrong, we are willing to take refuge in the Qianjun, don't kill me!"

"Old horseman, you dare to slander General Ben at this time, I think you are dying." Ye Long took a steel knife from the hand of the guard, and gently cut it on Chen Fu's face, and a wound appeared in an instant.

Then he threw the knife on the table and said to the family patriarchs: "In order to express your loyalty to the imperial court, I hope to cut a knife on these traitors." ”

Wu Shen looked at Ye Long with a smile on his face, knowing that if he didn't do it at this time, they would be unlucky, so he walked to Chen Fu with a flag steel knife and sighed: "Uncle Chen, don't blame me, as the head of the Wu family, I have to think about the lives of hundreds of people in the Wu family." ”

As he spoke, Chen Fu's ears were taken by the leader, and the following immediately followed.

Not long after, Chen Fu and these people died of excessive blood loss, Ye Long looked at the corpse in disgust, and said: "General Chuanben's order, these families colluded with the cadres and the army, and all of them were raided and exterminated. ”

"Yes, General."

Ye Long looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Today, Ye Mou invited you to publicize that it was to raise military rations, and I hope you can help you one or two." ”

Wu Shen was the first to speak: "In order to restore peace in Akiba City as soon as possible, my martial arts family will pay one hundred and fifty stones. ”

"My Tian family has fifty stones."

"My Song family has thirty stones."

....

In this way, you came out a little, I gave a little, and actually raised three thousand stones of grain and grass, Ye Long raised his glass and said, "On behalf of Autumn Leaf City, I thank you for your donations." ”。

"For the peace of Akiba Castle." Wu Shen held his wine glass and echoed.

"For the peace of Akiba Castle." The patriarchs shouted one after another.
