492 Unless its a betrothal gift!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the cavalry passed through Yumen Pass and galloped all the way east.

Wherever the victorious cavalry passed, the soldiers stationed or patrolling along the way saluted respectfully and excitedly, and spread the news that the governor had returned from the customs.

"Our army will kill all 18,000 Beidi traitors! This battle is a complete victory!"

"The general has personally led his troops back to camp!"

"..."

The news soon spread to the temporary camp of Xuance's army in Yumen Pass, and the generals in the camp cheered up: "Quick, meet the general!"

As soon as Cui Jing and his party approached the military camp, all the soldiers came forward to greet them and saluted.

"Congratulations to the General on his return with a great victory!"

"Grand Governor!"

The soldiers gathered around, calling him all kinds of names, and all looked at the young man on horseback.

The general who was asked was less happy and remained silent for a while before saying, "I haven't returned to the little governor."

The tent immediately exploded, and everyone started discussing and speculating.

Until Gong Dou said: "It is imperative to recruit troops."

However, when he finished his words, he looked at the people in the tent and felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward - they had just won the battle, why were both of them looking so sad?

Everyone quickly agreed and looked at the passers-by gratefully.

Hearing this, all the generals responded, but their hearts were still not heavy. The roads in Longzuo and Guan Nei were not rich, so how could this matter be solved in such a bad way?

War has always consumed the most money and food, and there is very little precedent for a country's finances to be ruined by war. What's more, today's Xiaosheng is experiencing internal and external troubles, and is no longer at the end of its rope——

The passerby said resolutely: "It is necessary to delay this matter. You don't have enough funds in your private treasury. For the rest, you will discuss the solution with Longzuo and several Jiedu envoys in Guan."

Gong Dou was still stunned when one of his lieutenants suddenly said: "Xuan Cejun, that's not yours! It's such a small amount of money, but there's no name for it. I want you for a reason."

Say, you have to take it!"

It was very slow that no one reacted: "So, does it mean that Cui Jingshi's life experience...doesn't have any hidden secrets?"

The tent that should have been cheering and celebrating because of the victory was now plunged into confusion and depression.

After saying this, several generals in the tent immediately became angry.

The more I talked, the angrier I became. I felt that the imperial court didn’t really think that way - I hate that we could only fight to the death and eat a grain of rice from the imperial court!

Everyone who was dizzy by the huge sum of money that fell from the sky came back to their senses, and no one could help but said: "It has been several years since Ambassador Cui Jing has been established in Jiangdu, so those one million coins... do you know where they were allocated?"

of?"

This outspoken and slow-spoken middle-aged woman glared at me: "If you want to talk, just talk! The bad thing is learning, what's the use of studying these grinding things!"

"This matter should be dealt with by the people here, but General Yuan Xiang revealed something in his letter..." Xuance Jun lowered his voice at the right time: "According to Cui Jing's words, this is from the memory left by the ancestors of the family.

Family business."

Your lack of choice is definitely not due to your personal relationship with me, a fellow passerby, otherwise it would be a re-examination of your contribution to that territory.

"You can't ignore us!" said this straight-tempered subordinate: "But what about the saint? What does the saint mean now?"

But if you just say something bad and give enough money and food, how can you count it as relying on someone?

Before everyone discussed what kind of amazing life experience Cui Jingshi hid, Beidi suddenly said: "Since it is given to us, we should thank the little governor less!"

Sometimes I even thought, doesn’t it make sense for us to stay there like that?

"The little governor is here to lead you through life and death. We are firmly in the capital, but we don't make such speculations!"

When we were in Youzhou, we, the young people, were not strangers to Chang Sui Ning, and they left a very bad impression on us. Now that the other party has not offered help in times of need, we are grateful, but it is hard to be impressed by him. Impressed.

Seeing Gong Dou, who was sitting in front of the case, looking up at him, the lieutenant general said: "I have heard that the imperial court did not respond directly to the young governor's request to recruit troops, simply because the imperial treasury capital now has no food and salary." It’s hard to bear…”

When Gong Dou heard this, he thought of something, and the smile on his lips became a little deeper.

However, these rations are now only enough to last for two or eight months. Faced with the letter from the young governor, the court did not give a clear reply. After a long time, no edict of praise was delivered, which read: [ Without Mr. Jiao stationed in the north, I feel at ease.】

I have heard those speculations many times, but I never cared about them, or maybe because I myself have always considered myself a so-called loyal minister.

After entering the account, the subordinate said bluntly and arrogantly: "...As far as the food and wages sent intermittently from the imperial court can barely support us, it is wrong. We must think about recruiting troops!" "

"What if then..." The leader swallowed the unlucky words and frowned: "It's still us who bear the blame!"

Is there any reason for the fierceness of the passers-by? After all, I am too familiar with who the "ancestors" in Chang Sui Ning's mouth are - if you can be your own ancestors and support yourself with the family property you left behind, will you be able to survive again? It's only natural.

Gong Douruo didn't notice anything and looked at Xuance Jun: "Have you heard any news, sir?"

When not fighting, in order to make it easier to travel, he only wore a light armor, without a hood on his head. His black hair was tied up with a crown, and a strand fell slightly, diluting the sharp and cold air between his brows.

Xuance Jun smiled and said: "A whole million strings."

It seems that the more useful the child is, the more someone will take care of him, so he should suffer the least and worry the least.

Xuance Jun smiled and saluted again, and then said: "To the little governor, no one has given your army one million guan of silver, which will enable your army to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and you will have to worry about food and pay for at least eight years!"

And you didn't say anything, the one million strings this time were not for me, but for the soldiers - this is the return.

But at the last moment, I had no answer in my mind - we are Mr. Jiao.

"Envoy Cui Jing!" Beidi suddenly became more cheerful: "It turns out to be envoy Lu Min!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the connection between Mr. Jiao and you. You care about the safety of Xiaosheng Jiangshan more than anyone else.

Everyone had different expressions, and some responded to my words.

"That's wrong." Xuance Jun said with a smile: "Envoy Cui Jing said that it is not for the little governor, but for the soldiers guarding the border in the north."

Hearing the words "This is for the soldiers guarding the border in the north," the joking atmosphere among everyone disappeared, and everyone felt moved from the bottom of their hearts.

Hmm... So, my actions of sending money one after another are probably unnecessary.

The passers-by were also silent for a moment because of that subtle feeling.

When Xuance's army entered the tent, they saluted and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the little governor on your return with a small victory!"

Winning, winning is of no use? The less capable and irresponsible a child is, the more difficult it will be to be made things difficult for him outside that broken home!

Xuance Jun saw the deathly and resentful atmosphere in his eyes, vaguely guessed what was going on, and said with a smile: "Little Governor, you can start preparing to recruit troops."

Seeing this, the subordinate sighed heavily, feeling troubled and depressed for a moment. He squatted down in a half-squat, put one hand under his legs, twisted his thick eyebrows, and spoke.

At that time, another deputy general was about to speak but stopped: "I heard something, and I know what I should say and what I should say..."

That's all, but when he suffers hardships, he will still be suspected!

Or maybe it was too violent, and the officer's eyes turned white when he heard this - when I dreamed about picking up money from a sack, I had never dreamed of such a small amount!

The lieutenant who spoke at this time was an old acquaintance of a steward in the Manna Hall. What I said at this moment was the steward’s ill-intentioned reminder: “… not many officials privately retreated from the saint.

The young governor clearly knew that he could kill the passers-by cavalry with a lot of effort this time, but at the same time he wrote a letter asking the small company to recruit troops. He may not have deliberately exaggerated the small crisis and took the opportunity to strengthen his own power in the north!"

It sounds like he relies heavily on our Mr. Jiao.

"Which officials are talking nonsense? Tell us our names!"

Everyone subconsciously looked at our young coach.

The subordinate who was squatting on the ground turned his head and said, "What are you going to use to collect money? Is it possible that each person carries a sack and each carries a bag of sand in it and comes back to gnaw it?"

Gong Dou was stunned for a moment. He looked calm, but suddenly the tips of his ears turned red. He quickly put his fist to his lips and coughed heavily, with the corners of his mouth curling up in a happy smile.

The tall and straight young man jumped off the horse. The armor on his body shone coldly under the night and firelight, and there were still dark mottled blood stains on it.

Even if it is placed in the national treasury, it is still a very small amount.

And here, a few officials mentioned another concern——

Lu Min glared angrily, and was about to ask, "Why is he so humble?" when he suddenly heard his colleague change the subject: "Unless Ambassador Cui Jing makes it clear, that is the betrothal money for our little governor!"

But even though it was so little, you still took it, right?

The anger that had been tightly entangled with me just now suddenly dissipated!

Hearing this, Xuance Jun stroked his beard and laughed, shook his head and said, "That's a naughty statement!"

A small number of us are all older than Gong Dou, but since the young man fought side by side, we have already regarded the elderly general as the real backbone and cannot trust the leader of the army.

"Otherwise, we can feel at ease with the money, right?"

I think that's something only for Cui Ling'an.

He added: "Our thinking is complicated. It seems that after we won that battle, we should have won every time before! But this time it was a big deal, and there were still small troubles ahead. Hundreds of thousands of passers-by were recuperating as teenagers.

The elite cavalry are waiting, we only have 40,000 people! We are recruiting troops as quickly as possible, how will we fight the next battle?"

Lieutenant General Yu was inexplicably agitated, and tried to have some interaction with his young governor, but when he turned around, he saw that the young governor was still intense and fluctuating at all.

After this regular invasion, the imperial court had never delayed military pay. This time our army's food reserves were delayed, and it was the young governor and the Anbei Protectorate who raised funds from elsewhere.

"General Yuanxiang personally took charge of the escort for this trip. He sent a message to the small camp of the Anbei Protectorate early on. It is said that the envoys on the road told General Yuanxiang and others to buy military rations and other supplies along the way, so they traveled very quickly."

Ce Jun said: "My superior has sent someone to help."

The subordinate named Beidi seemed to have suddenly become cheerful and honest: "The military advisor is really joking? I know who gave it to me!"

The man squatting on the ground let out a muffled "hum", half-twisted his body, changed the direction and continued to squat.

I also knew that this statement was not meant as a joke, but I still corrected him: "Yes, even if you are here, you will still do this."

Gong Dou did not have too many mood swings: "Someone who has different intentions, or someone who is frightened, must be concerned about us."

That one million dollars was given to me, but you gave me something more important - choice and trust.

"...Ancestors in the family?"

Xuance Jun was a strategist in Beizhong, who was a civilian on the road. After a long time, he returned to the small camp of the Anbei Governor's Mansion to coordinate the affairs ahead. He just came here today. When he heard that the young governor had returned to camp, he hurried over to ask for a meeting.

When he first led his army to meet the enemy, he wrote to the capital, asking the court to allocate military pay on time, firstly to consider the current war, and secondly to prepare for the recruitment of troops in the future.

"——What?!" The man squatting on the ground suddenly jumped up: "Little Duo Guan?!"

However, wars are also divided into many levels of urgency. For the sake of the small situation, it is the consensus of the rulers to direct money and food to more important areas. However, everyone weighs the importance from the same angle.

However, if we don’t have that determination, how long can we hold on?

Before, there was no sudden change in Changjie. At first, the court paid great attention to it and even lost a little panic. For fear of dragging down the war due to food and salary, the food and salary that had been delayed later were finally slowed down and sent over.

You chose to entrust Mr. Jiao and the Northern Territory to me.

"How can it be a joke?" Lu Minbei said with a smile: "It's someone else, none other than Cui Jingdu, the envoy of Jiangdu——"

The foreign tribes in Changjie are cruel and arrogant, and the northern border must be defended!

After saying this, a burst of good-natured laughter and echoes suddenly sounded in the tent.

Beidi looked upright and sincere: "Without the little governor, we would have had the opportunity to interact with Ambassador Cui Jing like that, and we had Ambassador Cui Jing to help us like this!"

Accompanied by his subordinates, the young man walked towards the main tent. On the way, he asked the subordinates who were left behind in the camp: "Has the imperial court allocated military pay recently?"

No one told me to stop talking, and no one was frowning in the same way, or full of court behavior.

Many officials in the DPRK believed that before the battle at Yumen Pass, Changjie would dare to attack again within a short period of time. The top priority was to resolve all internal troubles.

I suddenly understood the optimism and open-mindedness of the military advisor just now... At that moment, I also suddenly became frighteningly open-minded!

As long as he is willing to suffer, he will never be tired. As long as he is willing to endure hardship, he will never suffer!

However, one million strings...

Vice General Yu was watching from the side, and felt that the situation looked like... The elders of the family were all grateful to the young governor for finding a bad family, so that the family could live a bad life of glory and happiness.

What I am determined to do must be done. I may change my mind due to the attitude of the court or the emperor, or suspicion.

At that time, a voice came from the tent: "Little Governor, Xuance Jun is here to see you later!"

Gong Dou took off his sword and sat cross-legged in front of the case.

If I have to say, I feel that the current imperial court, from bottom to top, from the outside to the inside, is not in a bad state, but it is worse!

Mr. Jiao fights for the people of Xiaosheng Jiangshan, and it is absolutely possible to make half a step forward.

"..." The corner of this officer's mouth twitched fiercely. Sometimes I really envied the optimism and open-mindedness of those counselors.
