Chapter 653 ‘The loyal minister of the Han Dynasty’ Wang Ziying
"How much? Just ten thousand gold!" Wang Yu put down the data in his hand, and then said calmly, as if the thing he gave to Shi Changshi was not horseshoe gold at all, but an ordinary five-baht coin.
"Ten thousand gold, so much?" Wang Bo suddenly exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief, feeling that Wang Yu was exalting Zhang Rang.
"Yes, it's ten thousand gold, ten thousand horseshoe gold." Wang Yu nodded and directly answered Wang Bo's question, but then felt that something was wrong.
In the end, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and said: "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf. After all, ten thousand gold is a bit too little. Let's go for thirty thousand gold. It can not only bribe the ten permanent servants, but also show weakness to the emperor and show his attitude!"
"In this way, the next thing will be easier to handle."
"Thirty thousand horseshoes of gold, my lord, are you trying to kill me?" Wang Bo looked like he was about to cry. How pitiful is he? As the governor of Bingzhou, what he did was too aggrieved.
"Lord, our army will prepare for the Battle of Hetao next. There are many things that need to be used. Whether it is weapons, armor, crossbows, and arrows, they all require a huge amount of expenditure!"
"With this one-time gift of 30,000 gold, our next financial budget may not be sufficient." Wang Bo couldn't help but remind Wang Yu.
When he saw the golden horseshoe, he was about to run away from him. At this moment, Wang Bo truly felt that being the head of a family was not that easy.
He only needs to consider the development of Bingzhou, but Wang Yu, the lord, has to consider whether the entire force will encounter any setbacks in the future development!
For example, this time he bribed the ten regular servants. Wang Bo also knew that Wang Yu had no choice but to act. Although he looked calm on his face, he was already hurting in his heart.
But what can be done about this?
If the ten ministers were not bribed, and according to the emperor's fear of Bingzhou, problems would likely arise in transporting prisoners of war.
After all, the suspicion between the two sides has been going on for a long time. Liu Hong doesn't want to see Bingzhou's strength getting stronger and stronger, eventually forming a situation where the leader cannot lose.
However, if we can open up the channels by bribing the ten permanent servants and let them know the attitude of the Bingzhou Army, many unnecessary problems will be reduced.
Then, merging the state army can also indirectly reduce many unnecessary losses.
"Uncle, you go down first and get ready." After sending Wang Bo away, there was basically no one else around Wang Yu. At this time, he looked towards a dark corner.
Wang Bo just mentioned that the person hiding behind the name Zhang Rang was obviously moved.
"Mingyue, you must have heard what Governor Wang just said."
"I wonder if you want to meet him." Wang Yu saw that the man quickly restrained his aura, so he immediately asked.
As soon as Wang Yu said these words, a young and middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties suddenly walked out from the dark corner. It was seen that his aura had reached the realm of martial arts.
This person was none other than Dongfang Mingyue, a master sent by Dongfang Liancheng who was still in Hetao to protect Wang Yu. He was also his eldest nephew.
Dongfang Mingyue, the eldest son of Dongfang Zhenxuan, a master of the Dongfang family, is only thirty-two years old this year, but he already has the strength to achieve a minor degree in the Heaven Transformation Realm. According to his qualifications, he is expected to enter the true Heaven Transformation Realm before he is forty years old.
"Can I see him now? He has his own mission. Is it too early to see him now?" Dongfang Mingyue said after being silent for who knows how long.
But from his expression, Wang Yu could see how untrue these words were.
"Let's meet him. After all, he is yours..." After Wang Yu said this, he stopped talking because Dongfang Mingyue had already left here.
"well…"
When Wang Yu saw the situation in front of him, he could only sigh endlessly in his heart.
…………
And here in Luoyang.
After Zhang Rang received the order to go to Taiyuan from Liu Hong, he took some guards and headed towards Taiyuan.
There are two routes to choose from from Luoyang to Taiyuan County.
The first is to take Hanoi County, pass through Shangdang County, and finally reach Taiyuan, passing through the two counties.
The second is to take Hedong County, then pass through Xihe County under Bingzhou, and finally reach Taiyuan County. If you go here, you will also pass through the two counties.
Judging from the distance, it is obvious that the Hanoi route is the most suitable. After all, it is relatively close to Taiyuan. However, if you want to go here, you must pass near the Taihang Mountains. Not to mention the road is full of bandits, and it is also very difficult to walk, so it will not necessarily waste a lot of time.
Therefore, Zhang Rang thought about it and decided to take the Hedong line.
The terrain along the Hedong line is relatively flat, and it passes through Xihe County, where the Bingzhou Army is stationed. It is safe and reliable, and there is no need to worry about any problems.
After planning the departure route, Zhang Rang took a dozen guards and headed towards Taiyuan at high speed. In just a few days, the imperial edict was delivered to Taiyuan.
"I, Wang Bo, the governor of Bingzhou, Wang Yu, the Marquis of Guannei, and the civil and military officials of the governor's office of Bingzhou, respectfully welcome the angel to Bingzhou!" Wang Bo and Wang Yu immediately took the lead in saluting Zhang Rang's hand.
Although Bai Juyi and other civil and military officials were not interested in Shi Changshi and did not want to come to see him, for the sake of the overall situation, they could only suppress their reluctance and came to welcome Zhang Rang!
At this moment, when everyone saw that their own governor and even their own lord took the lead in saluting Zhang Rang, as subordinates, they could only follow suit and salute. They couldn't just stand there like this.
"Haha, Mr. Ziying, I haven't seen you for a long time. The Za family would like to congratulate the Marquis of Guannei. In this battle of Hetao, the general and his son stole the show!"
"This battle not only brought out the military power of our Han army, but also inspired the morale and fighting spirit of the soldiers at the front. The entire city of Luoyang is praising you father and son!"
"At the beginning, the Marquis of Guannei made great ambitions in Luoyang, but now it seems that they are already close at hand. The general has accomplished such great achievements at such a young age, and his future is bound to be limitless."
For Wang Yu, the Marquis of Guannei, Zhang Rang was not arrogant at all. Instead, he helped him up with a smile on his face. People who didn't know better thought that they were old friends for many years!
It can be said that Zhang Rang's attitude at this time was very enthusiastic, giving the impression that he was not the Changshi who relied on power, harmed the people, and plundered the people's wealth.
"No, Ziying is just a little boy. This victory is all due to His Majesty's foresight and the soldiers under his command. I dare not take advantage of this huge contribution!" Wang Yu immediately looked in the direction of Luoyang and said righteously.
