Back Off, Let Me Come

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 had no self-awareness.

only--

After receiving the material aid brought back by the courier and listening to the courier's description of the situation that day, Zhang Yongqing carefully read Shen Tang's reply. Seeing that the other party sincerely reminded him to be careful of Huang Lie. For a moment, even he couldn't help but 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 down. Summon the staff to discuss the next plan and how to deal with it.

Although Huang Lie led all forces to attack Zheng Qiao and launched 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 not stupid and incompetent. If he was really incompetent, he wouldn't have been able to survive 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, causing his side to lose the upper hand.

"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 or her own agenda.

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 bloody feud with Zheng Qiao. As a sworn brother, Gu Ren could not find any excuse to refuse, no matter what considerations he had. He accepted the invitation immediately and was preparing for the war.

"Where is Tianhai Wu Xian?"

"I agreed. Just——"

Zhang He asked: "Just what?"

"Wu Zhaode's end seems to be uneasy..."

Zhang He asked curiously: "Is it not peaceful?"

This is really strange.

As we all know, Wu Zhaode has a rich background and a large number of talents in his account. 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 to fight 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 confidant, 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, so he had no chance of winning the Dragon Slaying Game this time. Then he was dispatched to the border between Heyin and Tianhai, where he stationed troops 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?"

He sat back down, his chest still rising and falling violently.

"I don't know what my lord is thinking, why should a pick-pocketed trash be responsible for supervising the food and fodder..."

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. He was a standard scholar of the family and did not like merchants. Although he didn't say it, every time he faced Xu Jie, he had an inexplicable arrogance in his heart - Xu Jie only needed to provide money and food, and there was no need to interfere in other matters.

In the past, Xu Jie didn't bother to argue with this person, and he was happy that someone would jump out 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 discord 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. Under this premise, we also cooperate...

Xu Jie was picked on and had his shoes worn.

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 hard to reconcile the accounts, but they also say that there are not enough food transporters, and they need to recruit more, and the supply line is unreasonable. .

In a nutshell, just two will not do.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work.

After Zhao Feng heard the complaint, he smacked his lips.

"Indeed, this person's popularity is too small..."

Instead of focusing on the overall situation, they avenge private revenge.

Just thinking about it makes my fist harden.

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 revenge publicly whenever he had the opportunity, instead of laughing away his grudges as Wu Xian hoped.

"Hehe, don't talk about this, just 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. I just murmured in my heart that it would be great if Gong Su was here. Even if the conflict between the two could not be eliminated, he would at least admonish Wu Xian and replace him with someone to supervise the food 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 felt aggrieved, and Zhao Feng was not much better. He and his troops were sent here, missing the opportunity to perform meritorious service. For a warrior who is warlike by nature, what could be more boring than training in the rear? Watching others gain military merit is more uncomfortable than missing out on one's own!

However, Zhao Feng's mentality is acceptable.

Before Qin Li went to Huang Lie as an envoy, he privately told Zhao Feng not to act rashly. Zhao Feng had a two-year window period with Shen Tang, and the size of his troops was far less than that of other high-ranking generals, so the probability of him joining the battle this time was low.

If forced into battle——

I'm just afraid that the gain outweighs the loss.

It would be better to recruit and train troops in the rear with peace of mind. When the fighting on the front becomes tense, he would go to the front to join the war. It would be safer.

Zhao Feng always listened to Qin Li.

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 in Lord Shen's territory. If Lord Shen participated in the war, with his daughter's temperament, she might join the army. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so how can her little three-legged cat skills be enough? One mistake can cost you your 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 the short term.

(ノへ￣、)

There are still two chapters left in Time Dafa. After all, we still need to explain the private salt sales and the situation in Shiwu.

PS: Who said Tangmei is still flat at 16? ? ?
