Chapter 37 Wang Kuang's Trick

Zhang Fei didn't care about Wang Kuang at all, and said proudly: "What can he do if he is unhappy? If he doesn't listen to big brother's orders, I will kill him!"

Guan Yu smiled and shook his head and said: "How can this be so? As a county minister, his official position is not low. Although he is a subordinate of the lord, even if he commits something, he must be dealt with through the imperial court! Otherwise, give someone

It will be very detrimental to the Lord!"

Zhang Fei raised his eyebrows, looking disapproving.

As for Wang Kuang, after Liu Xian, the official prefect, came, he had no choice but to lead his soldiers and their families to pack their belongings and move out of the government office, back to his own mansion in the city.

Wang Kuang was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking very annoyed.

He stopped, looked at Fang Fang, and said angrily: "You are my military advisor, what do you think I should do now?"

Fang Fang cupped his fists and said, "Liu Xian occupies the position of the prefect, and there are so many officers and soldiers, and the leading generals are as ferocious as ancient monsters! Therefore, we cannot openly go against the prefect!"

Wang Kuang shouted angrily: "Are you going to let him ride on my head like this to show off his power?!" Then he said with great annoyance: "Today he humiliated me in public and asked me to apologize to a servant! How can I sound like this?

You can swallow it!"

Fang Fang clasped his fists and said, "Sir, you can only defeat him if you hold back this tone for the time being!" Then he said happily, "Although I don't know why General Fang Yue didn't meet with the prefect, it's fortunate that this is the case, otherwise today's situation would just be the same.

I’m afraid I won’t be able to deal with it!”

At this time, an officer hurried in, clasped his fists towards Wang Kuang and reported: "Sir, General Fang Yue is back!"

Wang Kuang raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Hurry and tell him to come in!" The officer promised and ran down, and soon Fang Yue, wearing armor and a cape covered in dust, walked in quickly.

As soon as he saw Wang Kuang, he immediately greeted him with clasped fists: "General, I will pay my respects to you, sir!"

Wang Kuang said angrily: "You are finally back!" Then he asked: "What on earth is going on? Didn't you fight with Liu Xian?"

Fang Yue said: "Replying to your Majesty, the general will ambush Liu Xian in Luchang Mountain according to your military order. However, at that time, he found that the opponent had a large number of people and the strength far exceeded our army. The general was afraid that something might happen to him.

It was a mistake, so there was no action."

Wang Kuang Fangfang suddenly realized this and was overjoyed. Fangfang said: "Fortunately, General Fang Yue made a decision at the right time, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

Then he asked with concern: "General Fang Yue, didn't Liu Xian and the others notice you?" Fang Yue shook his head and said: "Our army was hiding in the mountains and stood still, and the other party did not find any clues. Now the officers and soldiers of each battalion have returned to the camp.

.”

Fang Fang nodded and said: "That's good!"

Wang Kuang said angrily: "What's so good! If you can't bring down Liu Xian, don't you mean I'm going to be dependent on someone else?"

Fang Fang cupped his fists and said, "I have a plan, which may be feasible." Then he explained his plan in detail.

Wang Kuang's eyes widened and he praised repeatedly: "What a plan! What a plan!" He laughed and said proudly: "Huh! As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Liu Xian wants to gain a foothold in Hanoi, but that's just a dream!"

Liu Xian looked at the many documents sent by Wang Kuang himself and frowned, because according to the information, Hanoi County had a huge deficit. Not to mention providing him with help, he was afraid that he would have to spend countless money and food.

Fill this big hole!

Liu Xian raised his head and looked at Wang Kuang, who was standing respectfully below, and said angrily: "Hanoi County is a well-known and wealthy county in the world, how could there be such a big deficit?"

Wang Kuang lowered his head, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, you have learned from this. Although Hanoi County is a rich and prosperous county, natural disasters have continued in recent years. Not long ago, the Yellow Turban Bandit Army made trouble. Hanoi County's reserves have been exhausted long ago. If it were not for

If large private households borrow money and food, they may not be able to survive long ago!"

After a pause, he added: "My lord has arrived, I am really happy. This big hole is finally filled!"

Liu Xian couldn't laugh or cry. He looked at the information in his hand and thought for a moment, then asked: "It's the end of the year now, why haven't this year's taxes been collected yet?"

Wang Kuang clasped his fists and said: "To tell you what my lord, it's not that my subordinates don't want to collect taxes. It's actually that the people are extremely exhausted after suffering from natural and man-made disasters. I can't bear to collect taxes from the people any more! Therefore, I sent people before your lord arrived."

Go to Luoyang and ask the court to exempt Hanoi County from taxes for three years!"

Liu Xian huffed and felt his head was as big as a bucket. He glanced at Wang Kuang and said, "It's nothing, please step back." Wang Kuang bowed and agreed and backed out.

After coming out of the hall, Wang Kuang turned his head and glanced towards the hall, with a look on his face and a cold smile.

Liu Xian looked at the information in his hand and felt very depressed. The previous excitement about being granted the title of Governor of Hanoi had long since disappeared.

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "What Wang Kuang said is untrue. I'm afraid he is deliberately trying to embarrass my lord!"

Zheng Chen deeply believed that, he clasped his fists towards Liu Xian and said: "My lord, as far as I know, although there have been some natural disasters in recent years, they have not had much impact on Hanoi County. Although the money, food and taxes may have been reduced a little, they will not be affected by it."

There will be such a huge deficit as Wang Kuang said!"

"In addition, although the Yellow Turban Bandits also appeared in Hanoi County before, they were defeated by Zhang Jiao and other main forces of the bandit army before they caused much damage. Therefore, the Yellow Turban Bandit Army's damage to Hanoi County was also very limited!"

He paused and frowned, "According to the official's estimate, Hanoi County should not only not be in deficit, but should also have considerable reserves!"

Liu Xian frowned and cursed: "This bastard is deliberately making things difficult for me!" Then he asked doubtfully: "But on the day we entered the city, our army took over the treasury. There really is no reserve in the treasury?

"

Guan Yu said: "I'm afraid Wang Kuang didn't put money and food in the treasury at all." Liu Xian nodded.

Zhang Fei finally couldn't hold himself back and shouted angrily: "I'm going to catch that guy Wang Kuang and beat him up. I'm not afraid that he won't tell the truth!"

Guan Yu said: "As a county minister, how can he arrest people at will? If he doesn't do it right, it might lead to internal strife! He also has people in the court. If he complains to the lord in front of the emperor, things will be troublesome.

Got it!"

Zheng Chen said quickly: "What General Guan said is absolutely true. You must not be reckless in this matter!"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Are we just going to let that guy Wang Kuang cause trouble?"

Liu Xian thought for a while and said: "I can have a good talk with other staff in the Taishou Mansion and the big bosses in this county. I don't believe that Wang Kuang is really monolithic in Hanoi County!"
