I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 537: Sharpening the Knife to Kill the Pigs and Sheep! The Storm Can Be Settled!

"Tell me, what does it take for Lord Yan to agree to send troops?"

The expected request for help came faster than Han Shao expected.

He was just defeated yesterday, but today he came to my door impatiently.

However, compared to the last time when he sat back and watched the show, this time Yuan Feng, the old turtle, had to show up in person.

Facing the urgency revealed in Yuan Feng's words, Han Shao remained calm.

"The governor has numerous elite soldiers and generals under his command. Why would a mere Huang Tian bandit come to me for help?"

I'm very happy that you come to me in person.

But I don't like the tone of your voice.

If you want to ask for help from others, you must have the attitude of asking for help.

No?
Yuan Feng, who was projected by divine consciousness, had a frozen expression on his face, looking very ugly.

"Mr. Yan, you are too serious. You and I live in the same region of Youzhou. Now that the bandits have invaded our territory, we should work together to help each other. Why would we need to use the word 'beg'?"

As he spoke, seeing Han Shao's disapproving expression, Yuan Feng became a little annoyed.

"To be honest, Youzhou is Lord Yan's hometown. To me, it is just a sojourn!"

"If this matter cannot be done, the worst that can happen is that I will resign from my post and leave. No matter how Huang Tiandao messes up, it has nothing to do with me."

"By then, the people of Youzhou will be in chaos and the land will be filled with foul smells! How will Lord Yan cope with it?"

Oh, are you ready to quit and become a useless person?
Seeing that this old turtle didn't even want to think about the word "beg", he actually threatened.

Han Shao was somewhat amused and waved his hand.

"Since the governor has already thought about resigning, what does the matter of Youzhou have to do with him?"

"When the governor resigns, the people of Youzhou will take care of the chaos in Youzhou. The governor, an outsider, will not be allowed to worry about it."

The implication is that if you want to leave, leave as soon as possible.

After you leave, it won’t be too late for me to clean up the mess.

Hearing Han Shao's words, Yuan Feng's expression changed from gloomy to bright, and finally froze.

Well, the so-called giving up is just an angry remark.

Not to mention abandoning the land and running away, it was enough to bring shame to the entire noble Yuan family and affect the reputation of the entire family.

Just thinking about the phrase 'Youzhou has the air of an emperor', even if Yuan Feng dies, he will not move away from this nest.

After a period of silence, Yuan Feng's chest heaved for a while, but he finally endured it.

"It seems that Lord Yan is eager for me to leave?"

Han Shao rolled his eyes.

"You are kidding, Governor. Didn't you say you wanted to resign? Why are you blaming me?"

Yuan Feng was furious, but unable to refute.

Who made him, half in anger and half in provocation, personally give Han an excuse?

Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with this poor guy, he was too lazy to continue the verbal battle.

"Name your price. As long as it's not excessive, for the sake of the people of Youzhou, I'll agree to it."

Look, how about he become a governor?

He keeps referring to the common people and the masses. If you don't know, you might really think that Yuan is so sympathetic to those ants and grass!
Han Shao smiled slightly.

However, since the other party has already spoken frankly, it would be petty for him to continue to dwell on the details of the conversation.

So I stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"How about the governor of the state bear all the food and military pay for the army?"

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

All the losses are incurred, and it seems easy to just talk about it, but in fact, even the slightest movement will cause a lot of waste.

Otherwise, how can you say that raising an army is just like raising a money-eating beast?

So even though he felt a little painful, Yuan Feng still agreed.

"can."

"The governor is straightforward!"

Hearing Han Shao's praise, Yuan Feng's face twitched.

But just when he thought Han Shao was going to make another exorbitant request, he saw that he didn't make any further request.

Yuan Feng was a little dazed.

"That's it? It's gone?"

After he finished speaking, seeing Han Shao nod, Yuan Feng was unable to react for a moment.

But just as he was delighted and eagerly asked Han Shao when he was going to send troops, he heard Han Shao say indifferently.

"As for other matters, please go and discuss them with my two fathers-in-law. You know that I am new to the family business, and there are some things that I cannot decide."

Are you kidding? I've been sharpening my knife for these days, just ready to cut a few more pieces of meat from you fat pig. How could I let you go so easily?
The reason why I didn't talk about it in person was simply to give the two fathers-in-law a sense of participation and respect.

This can be considered as a bit of "survival wisdom" for him as a son-in-law.

After all, only when the family is harmonious can everything prosper!
But when this happened, Yuan Feng was stunned.

No, you can't make the decision here, so why are you acting so high and mighty in front of me?

He did not doubt Han Shao's words.

After all, everyone knows that Han's current status, although due to his own extraordinary talent, is also closely related to his dependence on the Yue family.

Although for now, Gongsun Du seemed to have handed over the entire Zhen Liao army to him.

But judging by one's own experience, Yuan Feng did not think that Gongsun Du would really be willing to give away the family business he had accumulated over many years of hard work to a person from another family for nothing.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Feeling secretly contemptuous in his heart, Yuan Feng couldn't help but glared at Han Shao fiercely.

If it weren't for the fact that Han Shao's past record was too brilliant and that he would have to be relied upon to fight the next battle, Yuan Feng would have probably started to mock him.

"Go ahead. It's not far away. The governor can get there in no time."

Han Shao, not feeling embarrassed at all, assured with a warm smile.

"Don't worry, as long as my two fathers-in-law give the nod, the hundreds of thousands of Liao-guarding men under my command who are ready to fight at any time can march south in an instant to relieve the governor's difficulties."

Now that things have come to this, what else can Yuan Feng say?
I could only pinch my nose and snort coldly.

"I hope so!"

……

In fact, as early as Han Shao went south from Guanjun to Liao, the team originally trained in Guanjun also moved south one after another.

The General's Mansion, which used to be the center of power, gradually became deserted.

Not only Gongsun Du, who has taken off his silver armor, has started to live a retirement life of raising eagles and walking dogs.

Li Wenjing, who had been behind the scenes for so many years, seemed to have some free time all of a sudden. Apart from playing a role in promoting the continuous integration of the Guanjun and Zhenliao systems of civil servants, he spent all day immersed in books studying his Confucianism and legalism.

There is no way, birds of a feather flock together.

Evil spirits are probably contagious.

His good adopted daughter, disciple, and now the wife of the Duke, had achieved the status of True Immortal in the blink of an eye.

If I continue like this, what if Jiang Wan becomes a celestial being in the future while I still stand still? How can I still have the face to call myself an elder?

So when Yuan Feng's divine projection suddenly came to their door, both of them were a little surprised.

"What the hell is that bastard up to?"

This time, it was Gongsun Du who reacted the fastest and grasped the key to the problem in an instant.

Gongsun Du was very dissatisfied because his peaceful life was suddenly disturbed.

Li Wenjing narrowed her eyes and immediately understood Han Shao's plan.

He smiled and said with a little relief.

"It's rare for a son-in-law to be so filial. You really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

When people get old, the thing they fear most is being useless.

Occasionally showing up and demonstrating your presence to prove that you have not been forgotten is also a kind of psychological comfort.

Gongsun Du, who was annoyed that the fish didn't take the bait, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but spoke rudely.

"He likes to do some nonsense all day long. I don't know how free I am now! Do I need his concern?"

When it comes to being tough, the Gongsun family is one of them.

Li Wenjing was a little amused and was about to criticize him, but when he saw the old man throw away his fishing rod and stand up, he couldn't help but asked in surprise. "What are you going to do?"

Gongsun Du said unhappily.

"That kid is still young. How can I feel at ease if an old guy like me doesn't take charge of the helm for him?"

Seeing his impatient look, Li Wenjing couldn't help laughing.

Then he dropped his fishing rod and stood up, muttering.

"What a hard life! I still have no time to rest..."

As he said this, he called Gongsun Du.

"Later..."

Before he could finish his words, Gongsun Du, who already had a tacit understanding, interrupted him by waving his hand impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense. We have been dealing with that old turtle named Yuan for a long time."

"I'm very familiar with playing the good guy."

The word "familiar" is very vivid and explains many problems.

So when Yuan Feng appeared, he looked at the two old faces with sharp contrast, one cold and one warm, and his heart sank subconsciously.

All the not-so-pleasant memories of the past suddenly came to my mind.

After all, one's own family knows one's own business. His reputation as a paper-made governor was certainly the result of his own deliberate efforts.

But in the final analysis, it is inseparable from these two guys.

Now, coming to someone's door to ask for help is just like a pig or a sheep sticking its head out, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Long time no see, I miss you so much."

"My Lord Governor, how are you?"

Her eyes were slightly narrowed and her face was full of smiles.

It was the famous Smiling Tiger of Youzhou.

……

Han Shao did not ask what the three of them talked about specifically.

He only knew that Yuan Feng, the governor of Youzhou and the Ninth Realm Taiyi, had a livid face when he walked out of the general's mansion.

Look at Li Wenjing's old face which is full of smiles and the word "control" written all over it.

As expected, the three old acquaintances must have had a great conversation.

"My dear son-in-law, if the sky doesn't distinguish north from south, how can the earth distinguish north from south?"

"Younan and Youbei are all Youzhou, and the people living here are also my fellow countrymen of Youzhou. We were born and raised here, so how can we sit idly by and watch our fellow countrymen suffer?"

"Therefore, for the sake of the people, my dear son-in-law, please send out the troops as soon as possible!"

Han Shao looked educated.

"That's what my father-in-law taught me!"

Just as he was about to continue speaking, Yuan Feng quickly corrected him.

"Not soon! Immediately! Send troops immediately!"

Reinforcement is like putting out fire!
The Yellow Sky bandits were sweeping across the sky and were about to pour down on his Youzhou City.

If not for this, he would not have allowed this bunch of snakes and rats to cut his flesh and drain his blood!

At this moment, he was suddenly somewhat grateful for Han Shao's efforts a few days ago to clean up those Huang Tiandao people scattered all over the place.

Otherwise, once those Huang Tian rebels come pouring in, there will be trouble again.

That's an embarrassing situation.

Han Shao looked embarrassed by Yuan Feng's eagerness.

"It is not a good military strategy to dispatch troops hastily! The men also need to be prepared, how can we..."

fart!

You just said you were ready for battle!
Yuan Feng blew his beard and glared.

"Old man... Old man - add more money!"

After all the hard work, this little bit doesn’t matter!
As long as we can keep the basic foundation that we have worked so hard to build and wait until we get the "Emperor's Aura" in the future, everything will be worth it.

You know, Yuan has even thought of the future name of the country over the years.

Youyan, Youyan, Youzhou has been the Yan area since ancient times.

According to the tradition of country names of all dynasties, the new dynasty should be Dayan!

What made Yuan Feng annoyed was that the character "Yan" was now taken by a poor man who wanted to curry favor with the Yue family.

This is really unreasonable!
Of course, none of this matters right now.

When he achieves great things in the future, what belongs to him will still be his.

Seeing that Yuan Feng was so straightforward, what else could Han Shao say?

He immediately expressed it.

"All the men under my command are brave and heroic people who care about the people. Even if we raise an army in a hurry, we must save the people from danger!"

"The weather is not favorable today, tomorrow! Tomorrow the vanguard army can march south first!"

"Don't worry Governor! As long as I am here and my men are here, the troubles in Youzhou can be settled!"

The faces of those who are fed with money and food are just different.

Seeing Han Shao's sonorous tone, without any of his previous hesitation, Yuan Feng finally felt a little comforted.

On the second day, Han Shao kept his promise and selected his troops and generals, and the vanguard army was about to set out.

Seeing that the Zhen Liao Army was much more disciplined and ruthless than his own private army, Yuan Feng finally felt relieved.

He had to admit that, even though he had been thrown into a mess by the Wanqi Zhen Liao Iron Cavalry some time ago, at this critical juncture, he felt somewhat relieved at the loss of face.

But soon he asked with some dissatisfaction.

"The rebellion is so great, why doesn't Lord Yan lead the army himself?"

Han Shao waved his hand and said defiantly.

"I have countless brave generals under my command! Why would I need to personally go out to fight against the Qingzhou Huang Tian thief?"

Before Yuan Feng could speak again, Han Shao glanced at Li Jing and his other trusted generals.

"It seems that the governor has some doubts about your abilities?"

"Fighting this battle well and not bringing shame to me is secondary. The main thing is..."

After saying that, Han Shao suddenly grinned.

"It's mainly to teach some people how to use troops for me."

"Also teach them that not everyone can command an army and be invincible just by putting on armor and waving his hands."

After saying this, Yuan Feng's face turned ugly.

And Wei Wei, who finally got the chance to send down his divine consciousness today, seemed to have suffered a great insult and spoke angrily.

"What do you mean by that!"

It’s a pity that his words were drowned out by the huge response from the audience.

"Champion! Victory!"

The champion is the bravest among all the troops!

This was Han Shao’s previous title of Chehou!
But now it has become a kind of belief of the entire Zhenliao Army.

As long as Han stands there, even if he is not in the front line as before, they will still be invincible and victorious!
"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The black armor is connected, and at first glance it looks like an endless and deep ocean.

These earth-shaking roars added a sense of murderous aura.

Yuan Feng, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, had his pupils shrink slightly after he became angry.

Lying on the bed beside a tiger and a wolf.

If you can tame it, it will naturally be of great help to your future achievements.

But if it cannot be tamed, I will be unable to sleep or eat!
Han Shao did not seem to notice the change in Yuan Feng's expression at that moment. Seeing that the soldiers were full of energy and eager to fight, he immediately waved his hand.

"Send out the troops! Protect our homeland!"
