Zang Jin is very anxious. Yuan Liang is outside helping him kill thieves and seize territory, but he can't even defend anything?

I wanted to send a message to Yuan Liang...but I didn't dare, I really didn't dare!

What if Yuan Liang is working hard and finds out that someone is stabbing him in the back and caring about his things... It doesn't matter if he wins or loses, but what if he gets hurt because of his anger?

Zang Jin could only wait patiently and ordered all troops to block the roads on both sides of the square. Even if the governor put pressure, he would not withdraw his troops.

Anyway, I can take away other rights, but I will never let go of this street!

That night, a group of officials and generals were discussing matters in the government office. Two people were sitting in the high hall, Luo Yuyuan, the governor of Xingnan Road, and Yan Sanlang, the general of Jinwu who was Xingnan Camp.

There were more than thirty officials at all levels sitting in the hall, and Zang Yuan stood in the hall to introduce the war situation in Lingzhou Prefecture.

In the entire southern Xinjiang front, the defense strength of Lingzhou Prefecture is average. There are no elite soldiers, no strong generals, and no good weapons and equipment.

This is one of the reasons why Yuan Ming was brought to Niutou County.

Yuan Ming's performance was remarkable. As a county magistrate, he only led more than a thousand warriors of the Yuan family to defend the weak and powerful Niutou County town time and time again.

Mu'a, the commander of the Tianyu Mountain War Zone, even gave up on Niutou County, but Yuan Ming still created miracles again and again.

Next, Yuan Liang, who is even more capable of creating miracles, comes.

Carrying more than 10 million kilograms of grain, the infinitely long convoy... If nothing else, taking such a grain convoy on the road, how could it be possible to reach the destination safely without killing some people, losing some money, and wasting a lot of time?

land?

I am willing to do it easily and kill many bandits by the way.

When Yuan Liang arrived at Lingzhou Prefecture, the weather in Lingzhou became better.

So far, more than 100,000 Xingnan troops have been defeated by Yuan Liang, with the minimum loss being at least over 100,000. In the entire Tianyushan theater, the total strength of the Xingnan troops is 360,000.

Yuan Liang and his men destroyed nearly 30% of the Xingnan Army at the huge cost of sixty lives.

On the entire southern Xinjiang front, Lingzhou Prefecture’s performance is the best!

Zang Jin first talked about Yuan Ming, then Yuan Liang, mentioning their names again and again, which was equivalent to reminding these idiots not to just think about getting benefits.

But these military generals have a problem, or many people have similar problems. They think too highly of their own abilities and habitually look down on others.

After hearing the performance of Yuan Ming and Yuan Ryo, I also found out that they are two young boys, and some people actually think that they can do it too!

Some people think that Yuan Ming and Yuan Ryo managed to achieve such a record only by relying on the money of the Yuan family and the samurai. If the conditions were the same, those of them who have endured, worked hard, and devoted their lives in the military would have done better.

Therefore, Zang Jin's well-intentioned reminder turned out to be a bad thing.

This guy is always talking about the young boy from the Yuan family. What is he doing? Showing loyalty and getting close? How many benefits did he get?

Several generals listened and hummed with disdain.

Chen Jian was sitting in the hall near the door.

Chen Jian is affiliated with the Zhengnan Army, which is two different things from the Xingnan Daoying Camp.

The Zhengnan Army is an army directly under the imperial court and is under the control of the Ministry of War. The Xingnan Camp is a local army and is under the dual jurisdiction of Xingnan Road and the imperial court.

The conflict between the two armies has a long history, and there are various reasons for it, so... anyway, the Shangguan is not here, and the commander-in-chief does not give orders, so Chen Jian is very content to be a spectator.

As a result, the generals were fooling around, and even secretly hoped that it would be more lively, and it would be better to start a fight.

It's just... Zang Jin was really nice to him.

Chen Jian led his troops to the rescue, but without fighting a battle, he took a lot of food in vain. Zang Jin also decided to give him some of the trophies that Yuan Liang didn't want, especially weapons and armor.

Seeing that many generals did not believe what Zang Jin said, they even sneered...

Chen Jian sighed secretly, this is the local army, alas, the local army.

After talking for a full hour, Zang Jin finally reported the situation.

Unexpectedly, it was Yan Sanlang who spoke first: "Master Zang, I want to ask."

"General Yan, please speak."

"Where are the rations?"

"Military rations?"

"Ten million kilograms of military rations were shipped to Xingnan Road. I sent people to pick up the grain, but was scolded by the grain transport officer. I thought that I was also an official of Xingnan Road. It would be hard to break up if I didn't look up and lowered my head.

?" Yan Sanlang smiled: "Ten million jins, the entire Lingzhou Prefecture will not be able to eat it in a few years. Shouldn't Mr. Zang give up some? This trip to the south camp is here to help us kill the enemy in Lingzhou.

.”

Zang Jin smiled: "General Yan doesn't know?"

"Don't know what?"

"The food has been transported to Daotai Mansion and handed over to Master Daotai for disposal." Zang Jin looked at Luo Yuyuan with a smile: "Master Luo, do you know about this?"

Luo Yuyuan secretly sighed, how did this idiot become a general? The first sentence he said when he came to the government office revealed many things.

He looked at Zang Jin a few more times and spoke to Yan Sanlang with a smile: "It is true, but the grain is still on the way. Mr. Zang is transporting five million kilograms of grain to Daotai Mansion. It will probably arrive in two days."

"Five million catties?" Yan Sanlang definitely couldn't quarrel with Luo Yuyuan, so he smiled and talked to Zang Jin: "Master Zang, the army is short of food, why not allocate us five million catties first? For Master Zang, it's just

It’s only 10%.”

Zang Jin was silent for a moment: "General Yan, the south camp sent 20,000 troops to assist Lingzhou. Zang and the soldiers in the city are extremely grateful. They should carefully prepare meals for all the brothers in the army. The city of Lingzhou has been attacked twice in three days.

Although the enemy was successfully defeated during the war, the people in the city were still a little scared and found it difficult to think about rebuilding their homes.

Garden; as a local official, I should consider the people, allocate food to the people, and lead the people to restore the scenery of Lingzhou... Furthermore, General Chen Jian led 20,000 Zhengnan troops to rush to the aid of Lingzhou in order not to disturb the people.

All the officers and soldiers are stationed outside the city, and I have to prepare food for the Zhengnan Army brothers, so..."

Stop mid-sentence. What he means is that he will not agree to your request.

Yan Sanlang asked calmly: "Master Zang has five million catties of grain. We traveled thousands of miles to help, but we can't even get half a million catties of grain, right?"

Zang replied directly: "It's true that we can't get it; first, Lingzhou capital doesn't have that much food..."

"How is that possible? There are at least four to five million kilograms of grain stored in the square at the entrance. Could it be that those grain trucks are filled with sand?"

Zang Jin explained with a smile: "Those grains are not from Lingzhou Prefecture, nor do they belong to Zang. I dare not give them away. The entire Lingzhou Prefecture currently has a total of 500,000 catties of grain..."

"How is it possible? Five million catties becomes half a million catties?"

Zang Jin continued to explain with a smile: "Currently, Lingzhou is a war-torn place. How can it be possible to store five million kilograms of grain? If the city is destroyed, wouldn't I be an enemy? I have already made arrangements to build grain buildings in many places.

There is food in stock, so... Lingzhou Prefecture does not have that much food; but I can guarantee that all the brothers in the army will not be hungry."

"Not hungry? How is that possible? Do you know how to count? Even if one person eats one kilogram of rice, if he eats two meals a day, and 20,000 people eat together, he can consume 40,000 kilograms of food in one day, and that is 400,000 kilograms in ten days..."

"Impossible." Zang Jin replied with a smile.

"How is it impossible? Am I telling lies?"

Zang Jin stopped talking.

"Master Zang, what do you mean? I am asking you something?"

Zang Jin sighed: "If we don't have 500,000 catties of grain to give to General Yan, we naturally can't reply."

Seeing that the two people were getting more and more tense as they talked, Luo Yuyuan thought for a moment: "Aren't there many grain trucks outside the Yamen? Whose grain is it?" Without waiting for anyone to reply, he then added: "No matter whose grain it is, this is a national crisis.

If the situation arises, let’s requisition it; if Mr. Zang feels embarrassed, how about I give the order?”

"not good."

This guy's decisive tone made Luo Yuyuan narrow his eyes: "Oh? Why is it bad?"

"Master Yuan Liangyuan, the magistrate of Annan County, led troops to deliver food to the South Road. It was the rations that Master Yuan prepared for his own army. Now Master Yuan is fighting against the Xingnan Army in Niuwei County, but we are plotting those grains behind his back...

Isn’t it a little bad?”

"You also said, is he in Niuwei County? Let's borrow it first, and then we can repay it when Mr. Yuan comes back."

"What can I pay in return?"

Luo Yuyuan's face was as dark as water: "Master Zang, what do you mean?"

Zang Jin was very firm: "I don't care about other things. When Mr. Luo comes to Lingzhou Mansion, everything will be decided by Mr. Luo. Only this matter is not allowed by Zang."

"Bold! What do you take me for? Am I still your superior?"

Zang Jin stopped talking and went back to sit down coldly.

"Come here, go and levy...let's borrow food."

Zang Jin didn't even get up. He turned to face the door and ordered: "Tell everyone to protect Lord Yuan's military rations with all your life."

"Yes!" There was a shout outside, and he ran out.

Who are these people? They are the government troops, the county soldiers, and Ding Yong from the city. If Yuan Liang hadn't come out of nowhere, Lingzhou Prefecture would have been attacked twice, and countless people would have died tragically.

It was Yuan Liang who saved them. Not only that, he also distributed food and gave them trophies, including many weapons.

Who else in the world can achieve such a level of conduct?

Even now, Yuan Liang is still fighting for them outside, but they...can't protect Lord Yuan's military rations? Are you kidding me?

Comparing one's feelings with one's own, I am a man! These men don't care whether you are General Yan or Lord Luo, they have to be pretty much the same when bullying others.

When the soldiers left, the officials in the hall looked at Zang Jin in great surprise. Is this guy crazy? Do you know what you just said?

Is this an open disobedience to the superior's order?

This is wartime, and Shangguan can take your life for any reason. How dare you do this?

Fortunately, there is still Chen Jian here.

Seeing these officials trying to squeeze Zang Jin, and actually forcing Zang Jin to say something like this, he struggled a little in his heart, and finally stood up and spoke: "My lords, Chen has a few questions that he would like to ask."
