When Su Changan and the four of them came to the Chu family compound, the Chu family compound was already full of dense Chu family members. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because of some rumors about what Su Changan did during the day today, the people of the Chu family seem to have dissipated a lot of enthusiasm for Su Changan, but at least they are still extremely respectful.

When they saw Su Changan and the four of them, everyone still saluted one after another, shouting the head of the family in their mouths.

Su Changan returned the salute one by one, and then walked into the Chu family hall on the road that everyone got out of the way.

As the lord of Jiangdong, although his hall does not have those magnificent decorations, from the first moment he enters the palace, a simple atmosphere will come to his face.

It is a sense of heaviness that has been precipitated by the years, and it is far from the realm that can be achieved by any money or decoration.

On both sides of the main hall, there were three old men in various colors sitting on the Taishi chair, their appearance seemed to be a little cramped, especially the moment Su Changan stepped into the main hall, everyone turned their heads to look at Su Changan, but when they saw the appearance of the comer, they were shocked and lowered their heads, as if they did not dare to touch Su Changan's gaze.

Su Changan probably guessed that these six old men were the messengers sent by the six families to send family tokens.

He withdrew his gaze and looked directly in front of the main hall, where a wooden chair was empty and a large portrait hung on the wall behind him.

A swordsman holding a long knife stood on the bank of the Li River, looking north at Chang'an, his eyes were gloomy, like a tiger standing in his eyes, and the dragon was watching the sea.

And on the side of the wooden chair stood an old man with white hair.

This old man Su Changan probably still knows, he is the current acting head of the Chu family, and he used to be the power of the Dao realm, but he is old, and his cultivation is not as good as before, so he has already retired, and now the Chu family is in danger, and he has to drag his old body to hold up the girder of the Chu family.

The look on Su Changan's face turned cold at that time.

With a calm gaze, he took a step and slowly walked to the wooden chair in the middle of the hall.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he walked very slowly and heavily, striking the wooden floor with each blow.

There was a thumping sound.

The voice echoed above the silent hall, and it seemed that each blow hit the hearts of the old men from the six clans, which made them bow their heads even deeper.

When Su Changan walked to the wooden chair, he turned around and sat down, and Hua Fei's people lined up behind him with a tacit understanding.

The foreheads of those old men from the six tribes were already covered with dense sweat.

"You've been waiting a long time. ”

Su Changan's voice was very low, very heavy, and at the same time very cold.

The people who were doing it trembled again when they heard this, and they naturally didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, and they all said respectfully at that time.

Su Changan didn't mean to dwell on this matter, his eyes suddenly swept over the bodies of everyone present, and his voice became deeper and lower.

"Since you believe in me and support me as the lord of Jiangdong, then I naturally have to do something for Jiangdong. ”

"Now that the Central Plains is in full swing, the court, the barbarians, and the Shu army are fighting each other, and the north has a new king, and it seems that they also want to participate in this vicious battle. Although Jiangdong is not disturbed by the war, it is only a corner of peace, and it is difficult to escape the doom in the troubled times. ”

Su Changan talked eloquently, but his eyes kept looking at everyone present.

"So, I want to form a large army of Jiangdong just in case. ”

As soon as these words came out, those restless elders of the six clans seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, they originally thought that Su Chang'an would ask them for something extremely precious, but if it was just to form an army, it would be reasonable.

"My Shen family strongly agrees with this statement. An old man stood up at that time, "It's just that I already have a lot of troops in Jiangdong, and the lord wants to form a large army, I don't know how much the lord thinks is appropriate?"

"Huh?" Su Changan was stunned, but after listening to the words of the old man of the Shen family, he quickly figured out that Jiangdong is still the land of the Great Wei, although due to some historical reasons, the imperial court has always only turned a blind eye to what it has done, but there should still be some troops stationed, but these troops are the troops of the imperial court on the surface, but in fact, I am afraid that most of them are in the hands of the seven heroes of Jiangdong.

"Then let's hear it, how many available soldiers are there in Jiangdong today?"

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to hide anything, so they immediately brought together the soldiers and horses owned by the various departments in Jiangdong.

In total, the Chu family, as the nominal master of Jiangdong, has a total of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in charge of various states and counties, and the Gu family is not far behind, it is also 30,000, and the remaining five families have 10,000 families, and all the soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangdong can only barely make up 120,000 soldiers and horses.

plus the 30,000 remnants that Hua Fei brought from Xiliang yesterday, a total of 150,000.

After getting this number, Su Changan's brows furrowed, he reached out and tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair, but he didn't speak, and his face was as cold as ice, making it difficult to know what this young man was thinking at the moment.

This made the people of the six clans look at each other, and for a while, the Chu family's main hall fell into a deathly silence again.

After knowing the situation of dozens of breaths.

Su Changan's lips opened slightly.

A cold word rang out in the hall at that time.

"Too little. ”

As soon as these words came out, the elders of the six clans were shocked in their hearts, and secretly said that it was not good, knowing that the true purpose of Su Chang'an to summon them this time was about to surface.

"Lord, Jiangdong is not as fertile as the Central Plains, although the land can be called fertile, but after all, it is only a small land, how can there be so many people to gather troops and horses?" said the elder of the Luo family cautiously at that time.

"Yes, even if we have gathered enough soldiers and horses, we will definitely not be able to feed too many soldiers with our salaries!" the elder of the Bi family hurriedly replied at that time.

"Hmm. Su Changan nodded, noncommittal to the seemingly bitter admonitions of the two.

"Within three days, transfer all the soldiers and horses in your hands to Jianye, and their food and wages shall be the responsibility of each family, and there shall be no deduction. Su Changan seemed to have been explained by the two, and never mentioned the matter of conscription, but said another thing.

The six people who thought they had already made sense of Su Changan suddenly became as ugly as pig liver at that time.

The meaning of Su Changan's words could not be more obvious, not only to take away their military power, but also to let them pay money and food to help Su Changan raise the army in captivity. What an impudent request, even when Chu Xiaohan was alive, the Jiangdong tribes had never made such a request to the six clans.

The stakes were very high, so the six of them glanced at each other, their faces were a little hesitant, and they didn't give Su Changan a reply for a while.

But at this moment, a high-pitched sword roar suddenly appeared.

The six old men were shocked and turned their heads to look, but they saw that Su Changan, who was sitting in the middle of the main hall, had thousands of cold long swords hanging on his head.

"What? Do you have any objections? Tell me about it. Su Changan's not salty voice also sounded slowly at that time.

The six of them felt a chill in their hearts, and then they sounded The young man in front of them seemed to be not very old, but when it came to being ruthless, it was the only time they had seen it in their lives, and when they thought of this, the six people put away the illusion in their hearts, hooked their bodies and said: "Obey the orders of the head of the family." ”

Such a result may not be satisfactory, but it is still within the range that the six clans can bear.

"Hmm. Su Changan, who received the reply from the six people, showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

He said very politely, and when the six people sat on the wooden chair again, Su Changan's voice sounded again.

"Then let's talk about conscription. ”

The six people who had just sat down heard Su Changan's words, and immediately stood up like a female cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Lord, don't do that!"

"Desperate military force will eventually lead to disaster!"

"Xiahou Haoyu's lessons from the past are in the front!

For a while, all kinds of words of persuasion rang out.

But Su Changan seemed to have heard the words of these old men, and he continued to say to himself: "There are no soldiers to recruit? ”

"From now on, you will send your own people, who are over eighteen years old and under fifty years old, to our place, and I will help you to train your life, and then I will return you to a strong team with one hundred as a hundred. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the six people suddenly showed disbelief.

Su Changan wants soldiers and horses, they give it to him, they want to recruit soldiers, even if it will increase the burden on the family, but gritting his teeth is not impossible to survive. But Su Changan actually wanted the clansmen of the six clans, and almost all the young and middle-aged people enlisted in the army, how could they agree to such a thing?

In such a chaotic world today, Jiangdong's strength is far from those evil wolves, if it is really a battle between the two armies, it is always Jiangdong's side that suffers, they can let those soldiers who are in captivity go to death, but how can they let their own people go to this dangerous situation?

"It's absolutely impossible to live in this matter, the Seven Clans are the foundation of Jiangdong, if it is... If so..."One of the old men hurriedly said, trying to dispel Su Changan's thoughts.

But Su Changan's face was cold, and he said with cold eyes: "I think you have misunderstood something. ”

"I am not discussing this matter with you, but within five days I will see the people sent by your six tribes, and do not make any indiscriminate use of them, and if there is one less of them, I will kill a couple of women and children of your tribe. ”

Su Changan stared at the six people and said, his eyes flashed with a heavy blood light at that time, and the killing intent wrapped in it made everyone present dare not doubt the truth of Su Changan's words.

Their faces darkened, and they knew that this person was under the eaves, how could there be a reason not to bow his head.

So they finally fell silent.

"Then let's go back and prepare. Su Changan also waved his hand at that time, as if he had lost the interest in talking to them again.

The six of them were in a low mood, and when they heard this, they didn't say more, shrugged their heads, and retreated one after another.
