Gu Yuan noticed the sudden drop in favorability. His expression did not change as he said softly,"Lord registrar, lead the way. I want to meet the county governor!”
Lu Bu's attitude was clearly much colder.
"Soldiers, dismount and wait outside. County Magistrate Gu, please come in with me."
Gu Yuan nodded gently.
The three thousand Flying Tiger Divine Cavalrymen dismounted in unison. They did not say a word and remained motionless like a mountain.
Even just by standing there, he had an earth-shaking deterrence!
Lu Bu's eyelids twitched.
They were once again shocked by the terrifying might of this cavalry.
He hesitated for a moment.
"If there was such a terrifying army, perhaps it wouldn't be impossible to defeat thirty thousand Xianbei cavalrymen?”
In front of County Governor Manor, the guards trembled slightly and looked at the Flying Tiger Divine Cavalry warily, afraid that they would launch a surprise attack on County Governor Manor in the next moment.
Lu Bu walked at the front, followed closely by Gu Yuan and Li Cunxiao.
The three of them quickly walked into the hall.
"Master, Official Lu is here!"
The attendant bowed slightly and whispered.
"What?!"
Zhang Tong's body trembled and he stood up abruptly, his voice trembling.
"B-but the Xianbei cavalry has come in?”
Seeing him like this, Gu Yuan, Lu Bu, and Li Cunxiao's eyes flashed with disgust.
Men like them, who had been through many battles, hated such spineless bureaucrats the most.
The attendant immediately shouted.
"Didn't you hear the old master asking you? What's going on outside?!"
Lu Bu suppressed his anger and stepped forward, cupping his hands.
"Don't worry, County Governor. There are no Xianbei cavalry outside the city.”
"Oh?"
Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Greetings, Prefectural Governor." Gu Yuan cupped his hands.”
Zhang Tong glanced at him and snorted coldly.
"What are you doing here instead of staying in Linrong County? But Linrong County was lost?"
Gu Yuan laughed, his eyes full of pride.
"30,000 Xianbei cavalry have been killed in Linrong County! Their heads were also built into the capital!”
"Really?"
Zhang Tong's entire body trembled, and his brows were filled with shock.
Although he was timid and afraid of death, he knew the fighting strength of the Xianbei cavalry.
Thirty thousand Xianbei cavalrymen, even if his father went out personally, he might not be able to suppress them!
A mere Linrong County Magistrate actually had such ability?
"This matter is absolutely true! At least for the next seven days, there wouldn't be any large scale Xianbei cavalry appearing in Shuofang County.”
"Will Shuofang County be safe?"
"But Linrong County is in danger!"
Gu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"30,000 Xianbei cavalrymen died in Linrong County, and their heads were built into the capital! After that, the Xianbei cavalry would definitely take revenge!”
"We are deeply indebted to the emperor, so we will naturally live and die with the county! No matter how many Xianbei cavalry came, they would fight to the end!”
"But the three armies haven't moved yet. We don't lack the courage to fight Xianbei beasts to the death, we only lack sufficient rations!”
"Therefore, I came here to ask the county governor for military rations!!!”
His words were powerful and impassioned.
Lu Bu looked at Gu Yuan with a surprised expression, his heart pounding.
"A mere county magistrate actually has such an imposing manner? Even his foster father could not compare to this soaring heroic spirit!”
He pondered for a moment and said softly," The county is in trouble. According to the law, the prefecture should support it. However, how much military rations does Magistrate Gu want?"”
"Not much!" Gu Yuan said generously. 500,000 dans was enough! This is enough for all the soldiers and citizens of Linrong County to live for half a year!”
Zhang Tong's expression changed drastically.
He slammed his palm on the table.
He said angrily.
"Presumptuous! Do you know what 500,000 dan of military rations is?”
"That's half of our Shuofang granary's reserves!”
"Linrong County is just a small county, how dare you ask for so much!”
Gu Yuan did not hesitate.
Tit for tat.
"Just because I can stop the Xianbei cavalry!”
"The Xianbei have already broken through Yanmen Pass, the situation at the border is extremely dangerous! And Linrong is the gateway to Shuofang County!"
"The lips are gone, the teeth are cold. If Linrong County is lost, will Shuofang County be safe? Is the county governor still alive?"
"Impossible!" Zhang Tong waved his hand and said sternly. I won't give you a single grain from Shuofang County!”
Gu Yuan frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
County Governor, have you made up your mind?"
Zhang Tong only sneered, his face full of arrogance.
"Humph! He was just a county magistrate, yet he was so rude. Originally, if you were to kneel on the ground and beg nicely, this official could still transfer 50,000 to 60,000 dans of grain for you! Now, don't even think about it!"
"I know that you border peasants are very tough and can endure hunger the most!”
"You can survive even if you eat some grass and yellow soil! Why waste precious military rations?"
"If I give you this white grain! What about Shuofang County? Do you want me to starve?"
Gu Yuan sneered. There was no respect in his eyes anymore.
"Is your life more precious than the lives of the border residents and soldiers?”
Calling him by his name!
Offending one's superior!
According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, this was already a crime of disrespect!
Zhang Tong was instantly enraged.
"How dare you!" The attendant beside him also said sternly. Who do you think you are? You're just a county magistrate, yet you dare to call the county governor by his name!”
"What bullsh * t County Governor? He's just a good-for-nothing and a parasite!”
Gu Yuan suddenly took a step forward and pulled out the sword at his waist.
A cold light flashed.
He directly chopped off the guard's head!
Blood splattered everywhere!
(I'm begging for flowers and votes!)
