Chapter XXVII

In the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Junwen held the first cabinet meeting here, but the current cabinet is not staffed, and most of the previous city lord's henchmen have followed him to the front line, and those who remain here are internal affairs personnel. The city lord died too suddenly, resulting in the current situation that can only be described as chaos.

There were not many people in the conference room, and most of the officials looked at Ye Junwen strangely. After the previous speech, most of the officials had a better impression of Ye Junwen, thinking that the other party should still be a good lord, although he was young, he should also make a difference, but now they were a little suspicious in the conference room. There are now two women standing behind Ye Junwen, one of them is Ye Junwen's guard, so forget it, the other ...... No one knows, it is estimated that it is the concubine of the city lord? But what happens when you bring a woman to a meeting?

Of course, Selena's appearance has changed slightly, she originally had short hair, and she looked a bit like a tomboy, but now she doesn't have to worry about her identity, she also directly brought a black long-haired wig, and then changed into a more decent outfit. Selena was originally quite beautiful, but the hairstyle was really strange, and now that she has long hair, she is also a lot more beautiful, and of course no one thinks that this guy is the real city lord.

Although he was a little puzzled by Selena, he didn't know Ye Junwen's temper, and no one asked questions or anything like that. At the moment, they still have to deal with a whole bunch of problems, and they don't have time to deal with them.

"At present, the primary target is still Lord Lei Luo's side." The head of the interior here, Cordina, said first, "Judging from the current situation, if Lord Lei Luo wants to do it, it should be these few days, this is the best opportunity, and what we have to face is a war." ”

"Before, we thought that Lord Lei Luo sent an invitation to the city lord to take office, but the other party did not respond, it seems that it must be reversed." Another minister next to him also said.

"But our soldiers are now on the front line of Costadady, and even if they rush back, it will take ten days, and ...... It seems that I can't leave yet. ”

"What?"

"Lord Sadro sent a letter ordering the troops to continue the battle with General Hegar's troops......"

"What? This...... How do we resist the rebellion? Could it be that this is Lord Relo......"

"No, it may be that the war situation on the front line is more severe, and the troops can't leave, although Lord Lei Luo has some connections, it shouldn't be able to affect this side yet." Cordina said.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss the reinforcements that can't arrive." Ye Junwen also spoke at this time, "Let's talk about it first, how many people are on the other side and how many of us are." ”

"This ...... How many troops does Lord Relo have...... This ......" Cordina had a headache, as if he couldn't say a more accurate number.

"Let me tell you." At this time, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a person walked in directly and said to everyone.

Ye Junwen looked up and found that it was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, with a slender body, looking a little stunted, and a hooked nose and mustache.

"Lord Lawson." Cordina seemed to know the person who came in, and said with a little fun.

"Who?" Ye Junwen asked Selena next to him in a little whisper, but the other party seemed to be a little distracted and didn't notice Ye Junwen's problem, and of course Ye Junwen couldn't call her loudly.

"My lord, introduce myself, my name is Fran. Lawson is mainly in charge of intelligence. Lawson here took the initiative to say to Ye Junwen.

"Intelligence?" Ye Junwen probably understood, since this person is in charge of intelligence, he should be the henchman of the former city lord, after all, you don't have a henchman as an intelligence officer, this is not looking for death. So this person seems to be one of the most trusted people of the city lord of Clovis, and the other party was not there before, it may be ...... On the front line? This is rushed back from the front?

From a normal point of view, Ye Junwen felt that the other party should know about Selena, after all, he was a confidant. Selena's current situation probably doesn't know what to do, so she is a little distracted, but looking at Rosen's attitude, the other party should have guessed some situations, and he hasn't been exposed now, think about it, even if he opposes himself becoming the city lord, it is impossible to expose it on the spot now, the current situation, saying this fact will only make Selena's side more passive.

So this Rosen should be a person who is very loyal to the Clovis family, and the other party may choose to cooperate with him temporarily. As for what will happen to him after solving the current trouble, Ye Junwen doesn't care very much, let's talk about it then.

"On Lei Luo's side, it is estimated that a total of 1,000 troops can be dispatched, including 800 guards from the Chamber of Commerce and 200 from his doormen. These are all armed and equipped troops, among which his disciples are elite, not only well-equipped, but also basically soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and their combat ability is very strong. Rosen didn't care about Ye Junwen's thoughts, and continued, as if he was reporting, but he didn't look at Ye Junwen's side.

"On the other side, our troops, at the moment...... That's about 150 people. Rosen said, "They are all reserves, they have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and they are fully equipped with weapons...... However......"

"Are the walls not satisfied?" Ye Junwen nodded, this Ledeska City is still a very big city, Ye Junwen estimates that at least 1,000 troops can ensure that the defense system of the entire city can operate perfectly, 150 people, it is really a city wall that is not satisfied, let alone defense.

Speaking of which, many ministers in the conference room also began to discuss in a whisper, of course the gap in combat effectiveness made them a little panicked, I didn't expect there to be so many people on the other side, and I didn't expect that there were so few people on my side, this 1000 hit 150, can you fight? Although it has the advantage of defending the city, the city walls are not satisfied, and the city defense has become a bit of a lag.

"The situation is very serious." Interior Governor Cordina took over and continued, "Lord Rosen, our troops ......"

"Can't come back." Rosen immediately said, "Unless the war on the front line ends, our troops will not come back." ”

"This ......" Cordina frowned, can't he defend and wait for reinforcements? The war had only been around for more than a month, and it could not have ended so quickly. After thinking about it, he said to Ye Junwen: "City Lord, the enemy is strong and I am weak at present, there are two suggestions here, one is to organize a militia, looking at the attitude of the people before, we should still be willing to help us, relying on the advantage of numbers, we may be able to stand with the other party." “

"Hmm......" Ye Junwen nodded slightly, but he didn't agree with the proposal of the militia, the combat effectiveness of real soldiers and militia is too different, and besides, there is no training time at all, and it is really not a good way to organize a group of militia teams with no discipline. So Ye Junwen frowned and asked, "What about the other way?" “

"Reinforcements, please." Cordina said, "It is reasonable and legal for Lord Castle Lord to inherit the position of Lord of the City, and Lord Lei Luo does not have any legitimate reason to seize the title, so legally we are on the side of justice, as long as Lord Castle Lord sends a message for help to the lords around him, he should be able to get some support." ”

Cordina is right, but it's not a good idea either. Although Ye Junwen is the heir to orthodoxy de jure, the problem is that the surrounding lords are not stupid, even if they want to send reinforcements, they will definitely not come for nothing. Who's going to do it? And the big question is...... Do the surrounding lords have to have troops? You must know that the troops in this city have been pulled to the front line to fight, and then what about the surrounding lords, don't they have to send troops?

Another is the matter of time, asking for help from the nearby lords, coming and going, I don't know if I can catch up at all, and there is no time for this negotiation at all. Lei Luo's side should also know that they may be looking for reinforcements, so they will definitely hurry up and attack, Ye Junwen feels that this method is not good.

"Lord of the city, please decide." Cordina couldn't think of any other way, and hitting him head-on was looking for death.

"You just said that there is a chamber of commerce for that Ray Lo, right?" Ye Junwen asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Cordina was directly stunned, why did Ye Junwen suddenly ask about this, didn't he know that Lei Luo had a chamber of commerce, or a big chamber of commerce. But he didn't have any doubts, after all, he and Selena are not familiar with each other, the other party is not in the city all the year round, and he probably doesn't know about Lei Luo, so he thought about it and replied, "Yes, Lord City Lord, Lord Lei Luo's Chamber of Commerce is called the Taken Chamber of Commerce, and it is a very famous Chamber of Commerce in the northern part of the principality, and we also have ...... in the city By the way, are you going to arrest these people? ”

"It's a big chamber of commerce." Ye Junwen nodded, "Then this is also the property of our Clovis family?" ”

"Uh......" Cordina didn't know what Ye Junwen was talking about, it was indeed the property of the Clovis family, but would someone give it to you.

"If you use this property to ask for reinforcements, the other lords will do the same." Ye Junwen said suddenly.

"That's right." Cordina suddenly understood, "If you say that after the war, the property of the Chamber of Commerce will be distributed to those lords......

"But no." Ye Junwen said suddenly.

"Huh?" As soon as Cordina figured it out, why did Ye Junwen suddenly change his mind again.

"How can our family's property be handed over to others casually." Ye Junwen said sonorously, "In this case, I think there is only one way to solve the other party head-on." ”

"What?" Cordina was stunned.

"It's time for you to see what war is." Ye Junwen said with a smile.
