(Please vote early in the morning, today is still the third update)

Kong Rong on the top of the city was intimidated by Yuan Fang's threat, and his body subconsciously shivered.

In his mind, the fate of Shan Jing and Tian Kai was involuntarily revealed.

These two people who once looked down on Yuan Fang had all been knocked to death by Yuan Fang, and they were extremely tragic.

If the capital Changcheng is now invaded, I am afraid that Kong Rong will really follow the footsteps of the two of them.

A trace of chill hit my heart, and Kong Rong felt deep fear.

But he pretended to be calm and snorted coldly, and a dissatisfied expression of contempt, as if he did not take Yuan Fang's threat seriously.

The two thousand Beihai soldiers were not as calm as him. They were all terrified and shocked, gasping for a cold air, and staring at Yuan Fangyang with a dazed look.

Then, along the city, there was a lot of sighs, and all the soldiers of the North Sea were still scared and came back to their senses from the huge fright.

Taishici looked at Kong Rong who was pretending to be calm and sighed: "If a hero does not ask about his origin, the prime minister is unwilling to go out of the city to meet him. Why should he humiliate him and insult his dignity? Forgive Ci said frankly, this is the demeanor of losing the prime minister."

Kong Rong's body was shocked, and he turned around and stared at Taishi Ci with a terrified look.

He really didn't expect that Taishi Ci, his subordinate, would dare to talk to him like this, what is the morality and what is the superiority and inferiority!

Angry, Kong Rong said in a deep voice: "Taishi Ziyi, you have actually violated the rules. You have learned your true nature. You are so brave."

Kong Rong showed off his style.

Taishici was not afraid, and said lightly: "I, Taishici, are so straightforward. I just talk about things. In addition, don't forget that I, Taishici, are not a subordinate of the Prime Minister, but just came to help the Prime Minister at his mother's order."

Kong Rong was choked and his face was covered in dust, and he was very angry. The complaints almost rushed to his mouth, but he swallowed them.

He suddenly remembered that he had to rely on Taishi Ci to guard the capital Changcheng for him. However, he could not afford to offend the person in front of him who dared to teach him a lesson.

Thinking of this, Kong Rong could only swallow his anger forcibly.

"Ci also needs to inspect the city defense, so she will not accompany the prime minister, so she will say goodbye." Taishi Ci bowed and turned around and left.

Looking at Taishi Ci's back as he left, Kong Rong's brows were deep and he took a deep breath.

Outside the city, Yuan Fang had already returned to the camp.

As soon as he entered the big tent, Yan Liang shouted angrily: "Kong Rong's sour scholar is so damn hateful. He hurried in the city and did not dare to fight, so he would talk and insult the young master. It is really hateful. I will ask the young master to order the city to attack now. I, Yan Liangfei, cut off that guy's head to relieve my anger."

Not only Yan Liang, Zhu Ling and Guo Huai were also indignant and called for war.

Yuan Fang also wanted to kill Kong Rong, but as the main general, he maintained a calm mind than his subordinates.

He raised his hand, suppressed the indignation of the generals, and said lightly: "Kong Rong is a turtle in the jar and cannot escape, but he has a good general like Taishi Ci, and it is not the time to attack the city with all his strength."

Although the generals suppressed their fighting spirit, they were wondering why their young master valued the nameless man named Taishi Ci so much.

Yuan Fang knew very well that Taishi Ci's strength was not famous at this time, but he just had no chance.

"This Taishi Ci is a general. Following a mediocre leader like Kong Rong is a waste. If only I could use it..."

Yuan Fang's thoughts flew around, thinking about various clues about Taishi Ci's memory. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea.

"Yuan Gui, quickly pick a team of capable people and break into Donglai for me and invite someone to come." Yuan Fang shouted.

Please one person?

Yuan Gui was stunned and approached him. Yuan Fang then gave a few instructions. Yuan Gui suddenly realized and hurriedly left according to the order.

Let’s put aside Taishi Ci’s affairs for the time being, Yuan Fang’s attention has shifted to Xuzhou to the south.

Now that Liu Bei and his three brothers have fled to Xuzhou, Yuan Fang believes that in order to prevent the loss of lips and teeth, Tao Qian will definitely send troops to rescue Kong Rong.

However, Tao Qian is the best person to protect himself. Even if he sends troops, he will not use the army. What Yuan Fang has to do now is to block the reinforcements in Xuzhou in the south, and to hold on until the grain in Duchang City collapses, and then break the city in one fell swoop.

The generals were soon led to Xuzhou by Yuan Fang and began to plan how to resist the attack of Xuzhou army.

At this time, Guo Huai said worriedly: "Recently, Yecheng has greatly reduced our military pay, and the military pay this month will be reduced by 70%. Once the military pay is owed, the morale of the soldiers will definitely drop sharply. When faced with the enemy in Xuzhou, I am afraid the situation will be very unfavorable."

Yuan Fang's sword-browed slightly, no need to ask, this must be a good thing Yuan, Tan, Yuan Xi and the other two did.

Seeing that they were too popular and were almost unable to suppress their situation, these two men wanted to use cuts to disrupt his morale so that their morale would be shaken and defeated by the enemy.

Bang!

In the fist attack, Yuan Fang said angrily: "I will settle the score with them sooner or later, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi!"

All the confidant generals were indignant and were extremely angry at the despicable behavior of the two.

After Yuan Fang scolded, his emotions quickly calmed down and he was thinking about how to solve the problem of insufficient military pay in front of him.

Guo Huai proposed to increase taxes on the occupied plains, Qi and other Qingzhou counties and states to serve as military service.

However, Yuan Fang rejected Guo Huai's proposal.

Qingzhou was ravaged by Yellow Turban thieves, and its household registration was reduced by half, and its people's livelihood was already in decline.

In addition to the Yellow Turban Thief, there are also various sects such as Tian Kai, Shan Jing, and Kong Rong. In order to expand their strength, no one is not a rush to impose levies.

Just like Kong Rong, since he took office as Prime Minister of Beihai, he frantically collected taxes to deal with the Yellow Turban thieves and almost plundered all the people of Beihai.

With such heavy oppression and restraint, the people of Qingzhou were already extremely poor. If Yuan Fang forced taxes on them, he would have to force them to death.

What's more, levying heavy taxes is to fish out of the waters. Yuan Fang wanted to build Qingzhou into a base for his great achievements. How could he do such a short-sighted move?

Seeing that Yuan Fang insisted on opposing, Guo Huai sighed: "It is of course good for the young master to assume for the people, but if we do not impose additional taxes, it will be difficult for us to collect all the taxes. At that time, the morale of the army will be shaken, and we may miss the big thing."

Yuan Fang fell into deep thoughts, his thoughts rolled, thinking about solutions.

Suddenly, he thought of something and asked casually: "By the way, I captured that person alive outside the city. Have you ever interrogated who he is?"

Guo Zhun was stunned and hurriedly said, "The subordinate has already tried it. The man was not the subordinate of Kong Rong and Liu Bei, but Mi Zhu from Xuzhou. He claimed that he came to Qingzhou to do business and was trapped by our army."

Mi Zhu!

When Yuan Fang heard this familiar name, he was shocked and a trace of light flashed in his eyes.

This Mi Zhu is one of the three richest people in the world, with wealth that is as rich as a country. In history, it was Liu Bei who relied on Mi Zhu's financial support that he made a comeback repeatedly.

With the wealth of a clan, it can support the princes to fight for dominance in the world. This shows how huge the wealth of the Mi family is.

"I was worried about military pay, but I didn't expect a big financial host to come to me. God is really helping me..."
