Chapter 81 The prefect
In the early morning of December 16, Dajin 425, at the Prefect’s Mansion in Cangyuan City, the prefect of Geshan County, Zhao Mincheng, frowned. Although the stray army that had besieged Cangyuan City for a few days withdrew, it suddenly reappeared. Another thing that made Zhao Min a headache.
Zhao Mincheng asked in a deep voice to the staff of Quyang County Magistrate Zhao Hanzhi, who entered the city just after dawn: “Mr. Sun, according to what you said, does this officer still need to give the Lieutenant Liu 10,000 taels of gold, 300 horses, 400 iron armors, 700 leather armors, 800 seven-doubows and 70,000 arrows?”
The staff surnamed Sun said with a wry smile: “Master prefect, our county magistrate has already paid the lieutenant Liu 10,000 taels of gold, 200 horses, 100 iron armors, 300 leather armors, 200 seven-doubows and 30,000 yuan in advance. With only arrows, there was no way at the time. Cangyuan City was in danger. Only with our troops and horses in Quyang County, it was difficult to break the siege of Cangyuan City. Our magistrate had to gritted his teeth and agreed to the conditions offered by Lieutenant Liu. Now that the rogues besieging Cangyuan City can retreat, it’s all relying on the soldiers and horses of Lieutenant Liu.”
Zhao Mincheng suddenly snorted and said: “That Xiaowei Liu has a big appetite, and he is not afraid to eat it. Is the bamboo stick of our Geshan Zhao family so good?”
The aides Sun hesitated and said: “Master Prefect, although the Lieutenant Liu is just a small captain, but the soldiers and horses under his command are very powerful. I saw the soldiers and horses under Lieutenant Liu with my own eyes. It’s easy. I have defeated tens of thousands of gangsters, including a team of hundreds of gangsters, and I suggest that the prefect is to send this team to Qianzhou to defend the border out of Geshan County as soon as possible!”
Zhao Mincheng stroked the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: “Thank you, Mr. Sun, for reminding that the tens of thousands of gangsters have just been driven away. The officer will not be extravagant and self-defeating! As for the wealth paid by the old seven, the officer will let him as soon as possible. People gathered together and sent someone to Quyang County! I think Mr. Sun must have not eaten breakfast, the official has already prepared breakfast, Mr. Sun hurry up to eat!”
“Then Mr. Sun would like to thank the prefect.” Then the assistant Sun followed the servant and left.
The smile on Zhao Mincheng’s face disappeared instantly as soon as Sun’s aides left. He asked four of his staff in a deep voice, “What do you think of this matter? The money advanced by the old seven can’t be told, and it must be given to the old seven. Send it to him, but that stinky Wufu, asking for the remaining property, does the official really want to give it to him?”
The conditions for Liu Ji to rescue Cangyuan City are not a small sum for the Geshan Zhao family, who has a large family. Now only the property returned to Quyang County magistrate Zhao Hanzhi has made Zhao Mincheng very distressed.
All these properties have to be taken out of the Zhao family’s house. If the remaining properties are delivered to Liu Ji, the Zhao family’s house would have lost too much during the siege of the robbers. After all, for the sake of defending the city, the soldiers and the people in the city Qingzhuang, thousands of people died in the battle, and Zhao Mincheng had to spend money to treat them, otherwise no one would give him Zhao Mincheng’s life.
The four staff members looked at each other, and they all understood what their lord meant. It seemed that the lord wanted to repay the debt!
An staff member immediately said: “Master, that Xiaowei Liu completely robbed us of the Geshan Zhao family this time. We must not contribute to the arrogance of that little Wufu.”
Zhao Mincheng nodded slightly and said, “This officer thinks the same way, but now our soldiers and horses in Cangyuan City have been hit hard during these days of defending the city, and the martial artist controls a team of thousands of people. A strong army, if the officer does not pay the remaining 10 thousand taels of gold, 300 horses, 400 iron armors, 700 leather armors, 800 seven bows and 70,000 arrows, will it cause any accident? There is no difference between defending the border and sending him to death. If that martial artist rebelled against the Dajin court because the official did not give him the property, then we Cangyuan City would suffer!”
At this time, another staff member offered advice to Zhao Mincheng: “Master, you have to know that the teams going to Qianzhou to defend the border are all time-limited. We only need to adopt a drag strategy, and that Xiaowei Liu will not be able to hold it. You must know that since that Lieutenant Liu can have such strength, he must be a child of an aristocratic family or a powerful family. If you want to oppose the Dajin court, the price should not be affordable!”
Zhao Mincheng stroked his beard again, and then said: “This Lieutenant Liu has repelled the robbers, and he is also kind to our Cangyuan City. He immediately sent someone to hold the post of the official, saying that the prefect was in the prefect at noon today. The government hosted a banquet to thank Captain Liu Ji for his helping hand to Cangyuan City.”
Later, Zhao Mincheng ordered the four gates of Cangyuan City to remain temporarily closed. As for when the four gates can be restored to normal, they need to wait for the order of the Taishou Mansion.
Liu Ji received an invitation from the prefect Zhao Mincheng and agreed without hesitation. Now that the bandits besieging Cangyuan City have been beaten away by him, it is time to ask for benefits, even the prefect Zhao Mincheng If you don’t find yourself, you have to go to Zhao Mincheng to ask for the remaining labor fees.
And just this morning, Liu Ji suddenly appeared with a few new-looking generals. As for the origin of these generals, Liu Ji still used the previous excuses to say that these generals were the generals he had received before, and upon his own orders. Come to converge.
There are a total of four new-faced generals, all of whom Liu Ji summoned by consuming his soul last night.
In yesterday’s battle, Liu Ji’s soul value suddenly became 5145 points. With so many soul values, he couldn’t give birth to cubs. Of course, Liu Ji would use it. The more generals he summoned, the more Liu Ji would be in this world. The safer.
Now Liu Ji’s level in the Chinese General Summoning System has reached level 1, but he has been upgraded from level 0 to level 1. According to the system, the lucky bonus for summoning third-rate generals by himself is gone, and the lucky bonus has been transferred to the second-rate summoning. Above the generals.
Now that Liu Ji has so many soul points in his hands, he decides to see if the success rate of summoning third-rate generals is really reduced.
So when Liu Ji himself was left to set up the tent last night, he immediately let the system consume 100 soul points and summoned a third-rate general.
As a result, the first time he summoned a third-rate military commander, he failed. Then Liu Ji called a third-rate military commander 11 times in a row. It was not until the twelfth time that he successfully summoned a third-rate general.
Mu Shun, with a force value of 62, an intelligence value of 45, and a commander value of 47. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the prefect of the Shangdang General Zhang Yang, when the eighteenth princes defeated Dong Zhuo, Mu Shun followed Zhang Yangbing to Hulaoguan and went to Lu Bu and was killed by Lu Bu Stabbed to death.
