Pei Zilie nodded slightly: "It must be General Fan Zhonglang. I am tired from the long journey and wanted to go to the city to rest. I disturbed General Zhonglang, so I want to apologize to General Zhonglang."
"Everyone is here for Da Chen. General Pei invites you!" Fan Chang said with a smile, "A few generals please!"
Pei Zilie was originally not interested in such false greetings, and was even a little disgusted, so seeing that Fan Chang didn't mean to say much, he naturally followed him.
The reconstruction and development of the public security only happened in the thirty years since the founding of Nanchen. Therefore, the entire city cannot be compared with Jiankang and other major Jiangnan prefectures, but it is still one of the top large towns in Jingzhou.
After all, this kind of city on the front line is compact and has tall walls that are obviously more conducive to defense. Zhongli, Nanchen's important town in Huainan, obviously has a similar structure. Of course, compared to Zhongli, the police station where Jingzhou County is located is obviously larger in scale.
Some, and the city is more prosperous.
There was originally a large camp for the Jingzhou army to garrison in the city. Since the main force had been taken away by Fan Yi, the barracks were vacated at this time. There was no need for Pei Zilie and others to set up camp outside the city. While letting his subordinates arrange for the army to be stationed, Fan Chang
While inviting Pei Zilie and others to go directly to the government office.
"My subordinates have set up a banquet, and I respectfully invite several generals to come." The smile on Fan Chang's face seems a bit fake, but this is not a bad thing. If he can really show a sincere smile, then it will be so.
Li Xingchen and the others are worried.
"Public Security Order Qi Zhang has seen General Dian Wei." A civil official has been waiting outside the government office for a long time. The only person in the entire public security city who is qualified to stand on an equal footing with General Dian Wei is this Lord Qi Zhang. "
General Dianwei please."
Qi Zhang's square face showed that he was an honest man at first glance, but he was obviously a little nervous at this time. Originally, he was an out-and-out civil servant, and he was not considered to be Fan Yi's confidant. In this police station
The main tasks in the city are to deal with people's livelihood and take care of all the trivial matters. He doesn't even need to worry about the army's food, grass and baggage.
This is why it is Fan Chang who is patrolling the city tower and not him. Obviously, Fan Chang has the final say in this one-third of an acre of public security city.
However, Qi Zhang was able to reach this position step by step, and he must not be completely honest. Although he is not sure about the differences between the two great gods Xiao Mohe and Fan Yi, and the lesser gods such as Fan Chang and Pei Zilie in front of him.
What a contradiction, but he now knows very well that he has been caught in the middle without knowing it.
According to official positions, Pei Zilie should sit on an equal footing with Qi Zhang, but after all, Qi Zhang was the master, so he could only sit on the main seat with trepidation. On Qi Zhang's side, Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen obviously sat down calmly. As for them,
On the other side, Fan Chang and several other accompanying commanders and generals in the city felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"This time, under the orders of General Zuowei, I went north to attack Jiangling. When I passed by the police, my brothers were tired from the journey, so I had to go into the city to make trouble. Please don't take offense, Brother Qi, General Fan." Pei Zilie said in an official tone, obviously without any intention.
What nonsense, "Most of us are military personnel, so it's okay to say something directly. This time we came out in a hurry and didn't carry much food and grass. I'm afraid we have to trouble General Fan to help."
Fan Chang's face suddenly darkened, and he sighed in his heart. It turned out that the person who came was evil. But Qi Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Pei Zilie came up to Fan Chang directly, indicating that Pei Zilie had already figured out that Fan Chang was the real speaker. On the contrary,
This saved Qi Zhang a lot of trouble.
"This is natural. Please rest assured, General Dianwei," Fan Chang said in a deep voice, but he soon changed the subject, "But there are a few points that must be told to General Dianwei first."
Xiao Shilian suddenly raised his eyebrows and was about to stand up while holding down the table, but Li Xingchen quickly grabbed him with quick eyesight and quick hands: "Listen to him first and see what tricks he can tell you."
"Now, the Jingzhou governor led the soldiers stationed in Jingzhou to go north to Yidu and took away most of the food and grass in the city. Secondly, the last general was just a Zhonglang general. Although there was not much food and grass left in the public security city
, the general does not have the guts to transfer it directly to the general, I am afraid that he will have to ask the Jingzhou Governor for instructions before he can rely on the Jingzhou Governor's orders to act according to the situation." Fan Chang said slowly, but there was no trace in his eyes of what a subordinate should do to his superiors.
Some were respectful, but full of provocation.
Li Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head. This Fan Chang was loyal to Fan Yi, but at this time, he looked a little ungrateful. Xiao Shilian ignored Li Xingchen's obstruction and slammed the table:
"Fan, General Dianwei and we are under the orders of General Zuowei. According to His Majesty's imperial edict, all the state capitals in Jingzhou should obey the orders of General Zuowei. Now that you have seen the order, do you want to resist the order?"
Can’t do it?!”
Xiao Shilian's slap on the table did not frighten Fan Chang, but Qi Zhang, who had been sitting in the seat and dared not speak, was frightened. He quickly stood up and waved his hands: "Hey, generals, please calm down, everyone.
We are brothers under the banner of Da Chen, why should we bring trouble to our brothers over such a trivial matter?"
"Boqing, please sit down first." Pei Zilie said in a deep voice. Li Xingchen also reached out and pulled Xiao Shilian's sleeve hard.
Xiao Shilian sat down angrily.
Fan Chang on the opposite side said seriously at this time:
"Maybe someone didn't explain it clearly just now, and some generals don't know. Jingzhou is the front line of the army. Over the years, there have been frequent confrontations with the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the people of the Western Liang Dynasty. There have never been times when the two sides were at war with each other. Therefore, in order to
Just in case, the hoarding of grain and grass in these important towns is directly under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou governor..."
After a pause, Fan Chang turned to look at Qi Zhang: "This means that neither the general nor Mr. Qi is qualified to directly allocate food and grass to the generals, but please rest assured, the general will do it now."
If I report this matter to the Jingzhou Governor, there must be an order from General Zuowei, and the Jingzhou Governor will definitely agree. Mr. Qi, what do you think?"
Qi Zhang immediately complained. This is the truth, but who would care about these rules when there is a real war. Now it is clear that Fan Chang wants to embarrass Pei Zilie and the others. If Qi Zhang agrees, he will offend Pei Zilie. If he does not agree, he will offend Pei Zilie.
He couldn't afford to offend Fan Chang, or even the entire Fan family, no matter which side he was on.
Fortunately, Li Xingchen didn't wait for Qi Zhang to speak, and then slowly said: "In this case, I would like to ask the general Zhonglang to hurry up. This place is not far from Yidu, and the correspondence only takes a day or two. We
