Zheng Hong's mouth frothed, his old face turned red, and when he looked up, he found Zhao He looking at him like a fool.

I immediately realized that I was a little out of shape.

Hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister is indignant and out of shape!"

Zhao He took a deep breath, looked at him with some annoyance, and said, "Captain Zheng, Zhang Yuan actually has these resources in his hands, why didn't you say it earlier?"

At the beginning, Gu asked you and others, what is the use of Zhang Yuan's generation, and how did you answer Lone?

You and others said, 'The decay of the Huating Marquis is like a dead wood in the mountains, if it cannot be burned for salary, if it cannot be supported for materials', if it is forced to talk about its merits, it may be said that its appearance is acceptable. ”

Zheng Hong's old face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't say that he was afraid that Zhang Yuan would steal his limelight at that time.

And to say a word of conscience, this was not what he said, but the Lin chief who had already hung up, he just smiled and nodded.

But at this time, Zhao He definitely did not approve of it.

I could only say: "This is the fault of the minister, I only said that he was a guard dog, but I forgot that he still guarded some materials." ”

Zhao He heard what he just said that it was almost priceless, and now it has become "some materials".

Shaking his head, he didn't bother to say anything more.

It's just that he suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said, "And where did the natives under Nan Luoying's command come from? Which one?"

Aren't all the natives of this city gone?"

"This ...... The minister doesn't know, but there are many women among those natives, and there are many of them in the three caves such as Qingyun Cave, or there are also Muyi people. ”

Zheng Hong said again.

Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "The minister knows, it must be the Qingyun Cave demon girl Yun Panpan who hooked up with the emperor when she was in the city, and it was His Royal Highness and subordinates who were monitoring outside the demon girl's house, but they were harmed, I am afraid that it was also done by the emperor!"

And after that, the demon girl left suddenly, and your Highness also reprimanded His Royal Highness the King of Qi, I am afraid that this is also because of this.

Tsk, this emperor is so treacherous!"

In fact, without him saying it, Zhao He also remembered it at this time.

However, he thought more than Zhao He, but he didn't understand it for a while.

Suddenly, it finally occurred to me what I was worried about.

His face couldn't help but change, and he couldn't help but whisper, "It's not good, something is going to happen to my father!"

"What?"

Zheng Hong was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand, why did he suddenly go to the side of the "father"?

Zhao He didn't have the time to explain to him more.

Instead, he asked eagerly: "Zheng Duwei wants you to tell the truth this time, and don't have a word of falsehood!"

“......”

Zheng Hong didn't know how to answer for a while, and wanted to say that "what the minister has always said is the truth", but found that this sentence itself was not the truth.

In the end, he could only blush and nodded: "The minister understands, Your Majesty, may I ask, if the minister is lying again, he will not be allowed to go to Yin Mountain after death!"

"That's a big deal. ”

Zhao He heard him say this.

Yin Mountain, also known as Ancestral Mountain, is not any mountain on the map of Daqin, the legend says that Yin Mountain is at the end of the earth, and it is the place where the souls of the dead return after death.

Ancestors and spirits also reside here.

After death, only by entering Yinshan can people reunite with the ancestral spirits, and be protected by the ancestral spirits and the mother of Yinshan and other Great Qin gods, and will not suffer from the bleak wind and cold rain.

And if a person is guilty of great sin or abuse, or if he is ashamed of his ancestors, he cannot go up to the Yin Mountain, and can only wander in the wilderness all year round, suffering from wind and rain, and having no refuge.

And they will not be sacrificed by future generations.

Lack of food and clothing.

You can imagine how miserable it is.

Therefore, in Daqin, not being able to go to Yin Mountain after death is a reactive oath, and being expelled from the sect is also a heavy punishment.

Even if he is suspicious like Zhao He, when he hears Zheng Hong say this, he can't doubt it anymore.

Otherwise, Zheng Hong immediately turned his face with him, and no one in the world could say that Zheng Hong repeatedly.

Immediately asked solemnly: "Actually, I just want to ask Captain Zheng how many soldiers are capable of fighting at this time." ”

Zheng Hong almost vomited blood when he heard this, just like that, didn't you ask earlier, and you still have to swear to me.

But when he thought about it, he found that he was really a little speechless.

But even the oath was issued, and it was not good to lie anymore, so he immediately said bluntly: "Back to Your Highness, if the county soldiers under the rule of the Great Wilderness County are in full, there should be 5,000 people, but because Zhang Yuan has repeatedly squeezed the grain and salary, the imperial court often can't pay it all, so it can't raise so many soldiers at all."

In fact, there are about 3,000 people, and they are sent to various counties and passes, and the more than one tun and half of the tun are different, and now there are less than 2,000 people in the great wilderness city.

And some of them are only the likes of post soldiers, or the valley guards in Tuntian.

There were about 14,500 men left. ”

When Zhao He heard this, his face couldn't help but turn a little dark.

He had known that there were many vacancies in the county soldiers, but he didn't expect the vacancies to be so empty.

Five thousand, you talked for a long time, and it turned out that there were only fourteen or five hundred.

You're too embarrassed to swear by you.

But now there is no choice but to ask: "Have you gathered these thousand, four, or five hundred people?"

After finishing speaking, he saw Zheng Hong sneering and said, "Your Highness hasn't finished speaking?"

The soldiers under the Great Wilderness County are those under the jurisdiction of the Great Wilderness County, but not all the soldiers in the county are under the minister's hands, and some of the four postal superintendents also belong to them.

There were also more than 100 people who guarded the county guard.

There are also some private soldiers who are all powerful and sent in the county.

So ......"

"So a fart, it's all like this, is there anyone else?" Zhao He was not bad, but he was finally angry at this time.

You only have 14,500 people under a county lieutenant, and you still have water, why don't you die?

Zheng Hong was also stunned for a while, so he could only smile and say: "Yes, some, and eight hundred, all of them are elite soldiers who can fight!"

"Eight hundred?"

Zhao He laughed angrily, "Captain Zheng, at the banquet before, did you say that you have thousands of elite soldiers under your command?"

"This, yes and no, isn't it scattered in other counties and passes, and this great wilderness county is not a great wilderness city. ”

Then he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, shall we fight?"

"Nonsense, of course you have to fight, what is it for not tossing for half a day......"

Zhao He is indeed a little hot, this Zheng Hong really didn't tell the truth before, he said that there were thousands before, but now there are only hundreds left.

If he had known this, he would not have really let his soldiers leave.

However, he quickly had a plan, and said with a cold face: "Since this is the case, let's take advantage of the fact that they are engaged in the battle, go to fight Zhang Yuan, and rescue the four superintendents and the heroes of each family."

Didn't you say that the four divisions of the county soldiers also belonged to the superintendents, and that should be able to gather 14,500 people, right?"

"Ah~mmmm. ”

Zheng Hong couldn't help but stumble when he heard this.

And the heart said, Who knoweth this?

Besides, what about your people, Your Highness?

But he had already sworn not to tell a lie.

It's hard to say, and what I just said is not reliable, so I can only hope that there are enough private soldiers raised by the four postal superintendents and various places.

Zhao He didn't know what he was thinking, and he was about to speak again, but the door behind him opened, and the king's servant hurriedly came out of it with a white face.

Zhao He paused, and then remembered that there was a shadow in the room behind him.

As soon as he saw the look of the king's servant, he knew that something was wrong, and it was not good to say more in front of Zheng Hong, so he said directly to Zheng Hong, "You wait a while, I'll think about it." ”

"Good, good. ”

Zheng Hong said busily.

I was secretly relieved in my heart.
