Shen Tang's polite refusal was expected by everyone.
If she really ignored it and forced herself to participate in this Dragon Slaying Tournament, she would be looked down upon - because she has no self-awareness.
only--
After receiving the material aid brought back by the courier and listening to what the courier said about the situation that day, Zhang Yongqing carefully read Shen Tang's reply. Seeing that the other party sincerely reminded him to be careful about Huang Lie. For a moment, even he couldn't help it. Let out a sigh.
"This boy really has a pure heart."
It's hard to fault in every aspect.
Zhang Yongqing asked the messenger what he had seen in Longwu County. When he heard that Longwu County was busy and full of waste, he frowned and thought for a long time. He waved the messenger to go down and summoned his staff to discuss the next plan and how to deal with it. .
Although Huang Lie led all forces to attack Zheng Qiao and held out a banner of justice to "eliminate the tyrant and destroy the sycophant", everyone knew what was actually going on.
Zhang He: "Gentlemen, how sure are you of this time?"
Several staff members said: "...forty percent."
Zheng Qiao is violent, but he is not incompetent. If he is really incompetent, he would not be able to commit suicide for many years and still keep his life. For example, the invitation to organize the game this time was even more cautious, for fear that the information would be leaked and Zheng Qiao would intercept it in advance, resulting in Our side lost the initiative.
"Only 40%?"
Zhang He was not surprised by this answer.
He murmured: "It's not too low."
Not every force hates Zheng Qiao deeply. Some are content to be local emperors, domineering under their rule, and participate in the game just to brush up their qualifications and reputation; some are fishing in troubled waters and want to take advantage of the opportunity to make some bets. , each has his own calculation.
They are all people who do not get up early without benefit.
"What's the response from Shangnan Guren?"
"Already agreed."
Zhang He was surprised: "So happy?"
It is not difficult to understand if you study it carefully.
Gu Ren and Zheng Qiao actually don't have much hatred, but several of Gu Ren's sworn brothers have a blood feud with Zheng Qiao. As a sworn brother, Gu Ren can't find an excuse to refuse no matter what he considers. When he received the invitation, he immediately Agree, we are preparing for war.
"Where is Tianhai Wu Xian?"
"I agreed. It's just——"
Zhang He asked: "Just what?"
"Wu Zhaode's end seems to be uneasy..."
Zhang He asked curiously: "It's not peaceful?"
This is really strange.
As we all know, Wu Zhaode has a rich background and a large number of talented people. He lacks everything. Zhang He has long been jealous.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that Wu Zhaode would also have troubles. Tell me, why is he so unfair?"
——————
To be precise, there is no peace under Wu Xian.
The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
Fighting a war does not mean making a decision today and pulling out a team to go to the front line tomorrow. The preparation of food, grass and baggage is a big project. This heavy work is usually handled by Wu Xian's confidants, and Xu Jie, the mobile ATM, pays and supervises .
This time there is no peace. The root of the conflict lies in Xu Jie and Wu Xian's close confidant, who is full of gunpowder.
"Hmph!" Xu Jie threw the wine cup to the ground and gritted his teeth, "Do you really think that I, Xu Wenzhu, can knead it at will?"
"Old Xu, calm down, calm down, don't do anything wrong."
Zhao Feng offered words of comfort.
He was invited to drink today.
As for why he was able to drink with Xu Jie who was squatting in Heyin County? Naturally, it was because he had too few troops and weak troops. He had no chance of winning the Dragon Slaying Bureau this time. So he was transferred to the border between Heyin and Tianhai.
, station troops here to protect safety.
A brave warrior moves very quickly.
It doesn't take much effort for him to go to a banquet and drink.
Xu Jie stared: "How can I calm down?"
I sat back down, my chest still rising and falling violently.
"I don't know what my lord is thinking, why should a pick-punching trash be responsible for supervising the food and grass management..."
Zhao Feng was speechless: "But, wasn't it always him in the past?"
Wu Xian sent troops to fight, and Xu Jie cooperated with that person to supervise the management of grain and fodder to ensure smooth logistics and grain transportation. They cooperated a lot.
Xu Jie replied: "Today is different from the past."
That man was from the Tianhai family, a standard scholar of the family, and he didn't like merchants. Although he didn't say it, every time he faced Xu Jie, he had an inexplicable arrogance in his bones - Xu Jie only needed to provide money and food, and nothing else
There is no need to intervene in the matter.
In the past, Xu Jie didn't bother to argue with this person, and was happy that someone would jump in and take over everything, so that he could feel more relaxed.
only--
This person was the most actively involved in He Yin's affairs. Because of He Yin's affairs, he had a lot of disagreements with Xu Jie. Because Xu Jie refused to give in, he became increasingly dissatisfied with Xu Jie, and the conflict between the two became acute. Here
Under the premise, we also cooperate...
Xu Jie was picked on and had his shoes pierced.
It’s not that the baggage is old, it’s that there’s a lack of food and grass, or it’s moldy and smelly, the soldiers who eat it have frequent diarrhea, and the food and grass have been embezzled... It’s not easy to get the accounts right, and it’s said that there are not enough food transporters, and they need to recruit more, and the supply line is unreasonable.
.
In a nutshell, only two will not work.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work.
After Zhao Feng heard the complaint, he smacked his lips.
"Indeed, the popularity of this place is too small..."
Instead of focusing on the overall situation, they avenge private revenge.
Just thinking about it makes my fist feel hard.
Xu Jie poured himself another glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily: "I don't believe that my lord doesn't know this..."
It was rare for him to have an opinion on Wu Xiansheng.
"My lord may want to take this opportunity to turn your hostility into friendship..." Zhao Feng still knew his lord Wu Xian very well, but it was obvious that Wu Xian didn't know enough about his subordinates, let alone a narrow-minded person who was already biased against Xu Jie.
The villain, after the conflict between the two deepened, he would only avenge his personal hatred publicly whenever he had the opportunity, instead of just laughing away his grudges as Wu Xian hoped.
"Oh, don't say this and keep drinking."
Xu Jie couldn't listen to this now.
Actively avoid this topic.
Zhao Feng looked at Xu Jie, who obviously had opinions, and felt bitter in his mouth, but he couldn't persuade him. He just muttered in his heart, it would be great if Gong Su was here. Even if the conflict between the two cannot be eliminated, at least he would be able to give advice.
Wu Xian, replaced the person to supervise the grain and grass management.
"Yes, yes, we won't mention these unlucky villains."
Xu Jie drank one cup after another.
He was so drunk that his face was red, and he was vaguely drunk. He spoke vaguely with his tongue out loud: "You and I are really inseparable."
Xu Jie was aggrieved, and Zhao Feng was not much better. He and his troops were sent here, missing the opportunity to go out and perform meritorious service. For a brave warrior who is warlike by nature, what could be more boring than training in the rear?
?Watching others gain military exploits is more uncomfortable than missing out on your own!
However, Zhao Feng's mentality is acceptable.
Before Qin Li went to Huang Lie as an envoy, he privately warned Zhao Feng not to act rashly. Zhao Feng had a two-year window with Shen Tang, and the size of his troops was far less than that of other high-ranking generals.
Not very likely.
If forced into battle——
I'm just afraid that the gain outweighs the loss.
It would be safer to recruit and train troops at the rear with peace of mind, and then rush to the front to join the war when the fighting on the front becomes tense.
Zhao Feng always listened to Qin Li's words.
A few days later, both of them received the news that Longwu County was unable to participate in the game, but their moods were completely different.
Zhao Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
The daughter who ran away from home was wandering around Shen Jun's territory. If Shen Jun joins the war, with his daughter's temperament, she might join the army. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so how can she show off her little three-legged cat skills? One mistake can lead to
Will lose his life.
Not participating in the war is very good.
Xu Jie's eyes lit up.
This means that Shen Tang and his private salt business will not be affected and can continue as usual - the Lord Wu Xian is busy with the war and cannot take care of himself in a short time.
