Chapter 97: Chapter Thirty: Stable and Unstable (3)
Cheng Kuang, the prefect of Anding County, stood on the city wall and looked at the black army with flags flying below the city. He couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Cheng Kuang, who was over fifty years old, had difficulty speaking when he shouted, and his throat kept shaking, as if
The wild man in estrus: "Are the soldiers and horses of His Highness the Second Highness under the city?"
Liu Feng was accompanying Chen Meiren in the carriage, Tian Zheng had to take care of the newly filled troops and horses at the rear, and Xu Song was guarding the carriage containing the treasure. Lin Chuang was the only one in front of the entire formation.
Lin Chuang stuck the big knife on the ground, raised his head and shouted at Cheng Kuang on the city wall: "Since you know it is His Highness, why don't you open the city gate?!"
Cheng Kuang glanced at the mighty army again and looked very embarrassed: "It's not that we don't want to open, it's that we don't dare to open. The general leading so many soldiers and horses into the city will definitely scare the people. Your Highness is going."
Beidi County, if you walk along the edge of the city, you can reach it in just one day's walk."[
Cheng Kuang is so honest that he is almost pedantic, but he is not stupid. If he carries the emperor's edict and enters Anding County, Cheng Kuang will definitely open the city gates and welcome him with a smile. However, Liu Feng's destination is Beidi County. Although he has to pass through Anding County, he has to go through Anding County.
There is no need to enter the city. With such a large army entering the city, wouldn't Cheng Kuang become just a decoration? He might even be able to take away the city and kill him with a sword.
After hearing this, Lin Chuang shouted coldly: "Bold! What you said is easy. If you leave for one more day, my lord will arrive one day late, delaying the trip. Can you afford it? Stop talking nonsense and open it quickly.
City gate, welcome my lord into the city!"
Liu Feng's itinerary along the way has never been disclosed to anyone, but the governors from all over the country have seen it. He has not entered any county during the journey, so why did he insist on entering Anding County?
There is something fishy.
Cheng Kuang shook his head in embarrassment: "General, tell His Highness the Second Highness not to embarrass me. This city gate cannot be opened no matter what. If Your Highness is willing to take a detour, I am willing to send two thousand loads."
The food and grass will be used for this day's journey and will be given to His Highness the Second Highness."
Two thousand tons of grain and grass can feed an army of 100,000 people for one day. However, Liu Feng's Huben army plus the new troops and the old servants of Qingke only have only 4,000 people. Cheng Kuang took out two thousand tons of grain and grass in one breath.
Liu Feng said he was reimbursing expenses, but actually he wanted Liu Feng to be more open-minded.
Cheng Kuang had a wishful thinking, but it was a pity that Lin Chuang had already received Liu Feng's instructions and wanted to enter Anding County today no matter what: "Hey! Cheng Kuang! My lord is the second prince of the dynasty, how can he covet you for just two things?"
Thousands of loads of grain and grass? You have been covering up the city for a long time. Could it be that you are doing something shady in the city?"
"No, no, no, what did the general say? I, Cheng Kuang, am old and have absolutely no ambitions. I just wholeheartedly serve the people and serve as the prefect of Anding County peacefully. I am definitely not as ambitious as the general said.
." Chen Kuang was so frightened by Lin Chuang's words that Lin Chuang didn't just say these words casually, he wanted to use force!
"Hmph! My lord is the second prince, and he has followed his own path throughout the entire dynasty, but you have blocked it in every possible way. Do you want to take over Anding County for yourself? Open the city gate quickly, or I will order an attack on the city and kill you and others.
No scraps of armor will be left, no pigs or dogs will be left!" The more kindly he talked to Cheng Kuang, the more he refused to open the door. Lin Chuang was so angry that he even threatened him!
Cheng Kuang was worried that Lin Chuang would really order to attack the city, but Anding County was now the territory of the dynasty, and there was no reason to bet Liu Feng. Liu Feng did not dare to attack the city, so he gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage: "I, Cheng Kuang, am determined to
