"Do you think about which mansion we will send next?"

Liu Feng leaned on the chair and looked at his four ministers. Among these four, Pang Bin and Wen Tian were both from poor families, while Wang Zongyuan and Li Yuan were former children of aristocratic families.

The four of them have their own abilities, and they cannot be said to be stronger and weak. In terms of loyalty, Wang Zongyuan and Li Yuan may not be as loyal as Pang Bin and Wentian, who came from poor families, and they are devoted to Liu Feng, but they will not easily rebel.

The aristocratic family has always been cautious in their work. Since they were appointed as cabinet ministers, they have been expelled from the family tree by the patriarchs of the Wang family and Li family, becoming rootless duckweed. They have been completely tied to Liu Feng's ship, prospering and losing.

Perhaps one day, Liu Feng seized the world of hard work, and the two of them would be welcomed back to the genealogy by their respective families.

Of course, Liu Feng had no objection to the proposal to send troops. After all, the current hard work is a golden period for their rapid development, and delaying the time to send troops will only be detrimental to him.

After recruiting 4,000 spearmen, not counting the reserves that were still in the training camp, he now controls more than 57,000 troops, of which more than 25,000 direct troops, accounting for almost half of the total force.

Of course, compared with other places, Liu Feng is not very crowded with people, which are moving hundreds of thousands of uprising troops.

But most of the soldiers had undergone simple training and had seen blood. They were all strong men. Unlike other rebels, they had both old, young, women and children, and they didn't even have weapons, and they had very weak combat power.

"The lord now has four prefectures adjacent to our Laiyang Prefecture, namely Gaohe Prefecture in the north, Taiye Prefecture in the west, Xiapei Prefecture in the east, and Tangyuan Prefecture in the south."

Pang Bin walked to the map and circled it, "Now the Northern Wei Dynasty invaded the south, so the route to Gaohe Prefecture north can be abandoned. The Taiye Prefecture in the west is not considered by the poor people, so now we only have two places, Xiapei Prefecture and Tangyuan Prefecture."

"Chen Sheng is leading the army to attack Pei now. We should not go in and interfere with each other. It will affect unity. Let's just Tang Yuan Mansion."

Liu Feng said, and took a note from the side, "Tangyuan Mansion is adjacent to us. If you want to capture Tangyuan Mansion, go to Jingxian first. This is information about this county town, you can take a look."

After a period of development, the intelligence network of the factory guards has covered most of Jizhou. A large amount of intelligence will be sent back every day and then classified into books for Liu Feng to check.

"It seems that the lord has long planned to capture Tang Yuan's mansion."

As a cabinet minister, Pang Bin naturally knew that the factory guard was directly responsible for the lord. He smiled and took the note and looked through it. The information about Jingxian was very detailed, especially the troops and food and grass that Jingxian now has were listed one by one.

After reading the above content, his face suddenly became serious, and he handed the note to the three Wentian people beside him, "You can see too, but I didn't expect that the court actually allowed local gentry to form a group training. This would be very unfavorable for us to capture Tangyuan Mansion."

"Yes, Tangyuan's mansion originally had few troops, and most of them were trapped by the rebels in Minshan. However, as soon as the court opened this example, the entire Tangyuan's mansion immediately exploded 100,000 troops. If the mansion had not been firmly controlled the number of troops trained by Zhuang Rui, he might have more troops."

Liu Feng picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Thankfully, the group training sessions in various places have not been established for a long time, and it is impossible to form combat power in a short period of time. This is our opportunity."

"When will the lord send troops?"

"The day after tomorrow! This time the army is on the expedition, I plan to let General Wang lead 8,000 soldiers to stay in Laiyang. With more than 10,000 reserves in the training camp, it should be no problem to defend Laiyang. Pang Bin wants to set off with the army. How to arrange the left-behind personnel on your side, please discuss and decide."

Liu Feng's eyes swept over the four people below.

Although they are both cabinet ministers, the power in the hands of the four people is different. As the first to join, Pang Bin undoubtedly occupied most of the power of the word and firmly suppressed the other three people.

Now that he heard that Pang Bin was going to set out with the army, Wentian was nothing, Wang Zongyuan and Li Yuan were shocked.

Next, Liu Feng talked with the four of them for a long time on the expedition and formulated the framework before the simple meeting ended.

Leaving from the back hall, Pang Bin led Wentian in front. Wang Zongyuan and Li Yuan habitually lag behind several steps. After the four of them returned to the cabinet to handle the government affairs, they left the government office one after another.

"Brother Li, it's still early now, why not have a drink at my house?"

In front of the government gate, Wang Zongyuan sent an invitation to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan turned around and looked at the direction of the government office, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two of them took the sedan chair to a mansion on the street next to the government office.

"Go and get some wine and food. I will have a long talk with Brother Li tonight and sleep with me."

Wang Zongyuan ordered to the butler.

"Yes, Master."

The butler bowed and slowly retreated.

After Wang Zongyuan brought Li Yuan to his study, he said with a serious face: "Brother Li, what do you think about Pang Bin's expedition with the army this time?"

Li Yuan's eyes flashed and he said, "Brother Wang, we are the only one here now. If you have any questions, you might as well just say nothing, don't go around in circles."

Among the four cabinet ministers, Li Yuan is the oldest and has always played the role of a big brother. He looks kind and does not seem to be any threat to everyone, but if he really thinks he is a good man who is invincible with the world, he would be very wrong.

Wang Zongyuan smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, I'll just say it. This time Pang Bin went to the army to fight, the affairs of Laiyang Mansion will definitely fall into our hands. I think we can join forces and take back some of the power that originally belonged to us."

"Although Pang Bin is not here, don't forget that there is Wentian. This guy is not easy to deal with. Moreover, with Pang Bin's personality, he will definitely leave a backup plan."

"A mere Wentian, you and I have to be afraid of him when we join forces. And even if Pang Bin has a backup plan, he is out of the battle and the far water cannot save the near fire. We have a great chance of success. Brother Li, in terms of talent and ability to handle government affairs, we are worse than Pang Bin. Are you really willing to be suppressed by him all the time?"

"I have to think about this matter carefully. Anyway, the army will set off after the genius. We don't have to worry, there is still time."

Li Yuan felt it would be better to be cautious. Pang Bin has always been tricky and it is impossible not to be on guard against them. Be careful not to make any mistakes before figuring out what methods he left behind.
