Facing Tong Fei's tit-for-tat, Chen Gong felt a splitting headache.
He had never encountered such a troublesome person in his life.
He originally wanted to use his glib tongue to make Xi Zhicai and Cao Cao collapse.
Then, he would bring up the matter of the Yellow Turban remnants and let Cao Cao send troops to crusade against the Yellow Turban.
But now, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood and died, and now he was inexplicably labeled as " not good ".
What was even more frustrating was that Tong Fei was even more stingy than a miser.
With Tong Fei around, it was impossible for Cao Cao to be a sucker.
"Hu ~~~"
Chen Gong let out a long sigh and forced himself to calm down.
Then, he said,
"We can provide soldiers, but I'm afraid we can't provide money and food. Lord Meng Zhuo doesn't have any extra money and food.”
Chen Gong's gaze was sharp. This was the biggest concession he could make.
"Since that's the case, I'm afraid that we can only ally with the Provincial Governor and the Minister of Ji Bei to send troops.”
Tong Fei chuckled.
Liu Dai had a weak personality and didn't have much ability, so he might refuse to send troops.
However, Bao Xin had many elite soldiers under him, and he was forthright and righteous.
If Bao Xin sent troops, then Chen Gong's plan would probably be ruined, because Cao Cao would not need to do much to wipe out the remaining Yellow Turban forces in the south of Yanzhou.
Unexpectedly, Chen Gong suddenly laughed when he heard this.
"Mr. Changping, you really know how to joke. The Minister of Jibei needs to guard against the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou now.”
"Do you know how many Yellow Turbans there are in Qingzhou?”
"There are a million of them!"
Chen Gong said gloomily.
"What?!"
As soon as he said that, Tong Fei, Cao Cao, and Xi Zhicai's expressions changed drastically.
However, in the blink of an eye, a hint of ecstasy flashed across their faces.
Yes, in Chen Gong's eyes, the million Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou were bandits and a scourge.
However, in the eyes of Cao Cao, Tong Fei, and Xi Zhicai, this was simply a free population and labor force sent down from the heavens!
" Huh???"
Chen Gong could not help but feel puzzled.
He first saw shock on Tong Fei and Cao Cao's faces, then joy. Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?
"Ahem, actually, we don't have to ask Lord Meng Zhuo to pay for the food and money.”
"We can barely bear it ourselves.”
"However, my lord needs to personally go to Lord Meng Zhuo to select soldiers and select some elite soldiers.”
"Otherwise, if I can't defeat the Yellow Turbans, I'll lose the face of the entire Yanzhou!”
Tong Fei knew that Chen Gong cared more about money and food than soldiers, so he said this.
"Yes, but only two thousand people.”
Chen Gong rolled his eyes and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
He pretended to grit his teeth and said with difficulty,"
"Deal!"
Hearing this, Tong Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.
He naturally saw Chen Gong's final expression.
This was actually the trap he had set for Chen Gong, and the latter had stepped into it without hesitation.
The matter was settled, but Chen Gong was not happy at all.
He didn't want to stay in East County for even a second longer, and he didn't want to see Tong Fei.
Thus, he quickly left the prefect's manor and returned to Chen Liu under the escort of his personal guards.
After sending Chen Gong off, Xi Zhi walked out from behind the curtain.
"Changping, as expected of you!"
"If it was just me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be Chen Gong's match.”
Xi Zhicai said humbly.
In fact, Xi Zhicai requested to hide behind the curtain to listen because he was afraid that Tong Fei would not be able to handle the situation.
If he really couldn't hold on, he could still quickly step forward to save the situation.
However, during the meeting just now, Tong Fei had been the one suppressing Chen Gong.
The other party did not have the slightest ability to retaliate.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhi felt gratified.
He thought to himself that he should quickly have more outstanding colleagues like Tong Fei. The more, the better.
Cao Cao also looked at Tong Fei with admiration.
"Changping, the ten maids have been sent to your residence.”
"Ahem, there are also the original ten. Their birthplaces have also been settled.”
"My lord is indeed a man of his word.”
Tong Fei said with a smile.
Sigh, I'm finally done. I'm exhausted. Next time I encounter such a thing, I'll hide as far as I can. I can't be caught by Boss Cao.
Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and his beard shook.
To think that he had thought that Tong Fei's personality had changed, but in the end, he was still a complete salted fish!
"Right, Changping, why did you emphasize that the lord should personally select the soldiers?”
Xi Zhicai suddenly thought of this question and quickly asked Tong Fei.
Cao Cao was also confused.
Zhang Miao's soldiers were far weaker than Cao Cao's army, even the elites.
However, Tong Fei never did anything that would make him suffer losses. Why was he so conflicted about two thousand soldiers?
