Zhao Feng, Yang Feng, and company were having a detailed discussion on both sides of the hill.
Where was the most suitable place to set up an ambush?
Which place was easy to defend and difficult to attack?
Bai Bo Gu, plus those arrangements Cai Yan made previously, could be said to be double insurance.
Zhao Feng believed that even though he only had eight hundred people, they were enough to stop five thousand soldiers.
……
On the other side.
Wei Bao, who had yet to recover and whose face was still pale, returned to An Yi.
Wei Bao, who was walking on the street, became the main character of An Yi City. Almost everyone was looking at him.
Some of the more courageous ones even laughed out loud, not putting this official in their eyes at all.
Wei Bao was itching with hatred, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't seal everyone's mouths, right?
Wang Yun's attitude changed drastically after he arrived at the An Yi government office.
"Lord Prefect, that Zhao Bolong is really arrogant. As a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army, I think we should eliminate him to prevent future troubles.”Wei Bao said righteously.
However, Wang Yun could not be bothered with him." Wei Bao, this is not a small matter. I have to report it to Luoyang first and wait for His Majesty to make a ruling."”
When Wei Bao heard this, he was momentarily stunned.
Report to Luoyang? Would there be a fucking reply?
Everyone knew that the emperor, Liu Hong, did not attend court much.
Moreover, the eunuchs were in control. Even if he reported it, if he didn't give some gifts to the eunuchs, how could he send it to Liu Hong?
"Lord Mayor, you know that the granary and mansion of the Wei family were burned down by Zhao Bolong. You must ask your subordinate to make the decision. If you don't send troops, he will think that we are easy to bully.”
"Maybe he'll come to An Yi next. I think we should take advantage of Zhao Feng's lack of strength to prevent future troubles.”
Wang Yun looked at Wei Bao coldly.
"If it really doesn't work, you can send some gifts to the eunuchs in Luoyang and ask them to send the Central Army over," he said coldly.”
"I can't do anything about it. There are only five to six thousand soldiers in total, and they still have to maintain law and order.”
Wei Bao was also a smart person. When Wang Yun mentioned gifts, he immediately understood.
Why was Wang Yun angry? Why was he so cold?
Wasn't it because of the gold?
Wei Bao had prepared 4,000 catties of gold to send to the Luoyang eunuchs. He wanted to improve his official position.
The reason why Wang Yun was angry was naturally because Wei Bao did not want to give the gold to his boss. Instead, he kept it from him.
This was intolerable for Wang Yun.
Damn, the good stuff belongs to someone else?
Something happened, and you came to me to take revenge for you? Did you get all the good things?
Wei Bao rolled his eyes and came to Wang Yun's side. He said in a low voice,"Lord Wang, how could I give it to a eunuch?”
"Although that Zhao Feng took some gold, our Wei Family still has a thousand pounds of it.”
"This subordinate will ask my family to send the gold over. Lord Wang, please uphold justice for this subordinate and avenge me.”
Wang Yun's expression softened a lot.
That's right. How could he not give him some benefits when he asked for help?
However, Wang Yun, the old fox, was not to be trifled with.
"These few days, the county soldiers have some tasks to deal with. In a few days, they will definitely send troops to eliminate Zhao Bolong. What do you think?”
Wang Yun's words were also clear. Once your gold is delivered, I will immediately help you, but if it is not delivered, then the county soldiers will always have missions. It depends on whether you, Wei Bao, understand or not.
Wei Bao hurriedly bowed." Thank you, Lord Wang."”
……
Wei Bao's heart ached for the gold while Zhao Feng looked at the gold in front of him.
This thing was valuable, but it had to be sold.
These gold cakes couldn't be eaten or drunk. If they were placed on Mount Whitewave, they would just be useless dead objects.
Zhao Feng thought of Wang Kai.
"Wang Kai, didn't you say you were going to be a guard of the great clan? What family? How strong are they?" Zhao Feng asked.
"It's alright. The Sun family is a famous family in Hedong County. They have four to five thousand acres of land, more than two thousand servants, and more than two thousand guards.”
"Canal Marshal, why are you asking this?"
"Do you think the Sun family can deal with this gold? It could be exchanged for food, iron, or warhorses.”
Wang Kai could not help but smile bitterly.
"Canal Marshal, aren't you thinking too highly of the Sun family? How many families in the entire Hedong County can afford to eat 4,000 catties?”
"It's definitely impossible to eat all of them, but I should be able to eat some. I have to ask.”
"Alright, then go and ask. Even if it's the first price, as long as it can exchange for supplies that we can use, it's fine.”Zhao Feng said.
"Don't worry, Canal Marshal. The Sun Family's head is a good person.”
"Otherwise, the Sun family wouldn't have been able to develop so much without the protection of the officials.”
"En, this time, you will go on two horses and return quickly. Bring some people with you.”Zhao Feng instructed.
