Planting a fairy in ancient times

Chapter 371. 397. Humble Mingtao
Qiao Dabiao is afraid of guilt.

Zhou Linger's force value is not lower than Qiao Dabiao.

A few years ago, on the day Qiao Dabiao cleared his grievances and was released and returned home, his wife Zhou Linger chased and beat him for two miles with a rolling pin.

However, when Qiao Dabiao saw Zhou Linger's thin and haggard appearance, he didn't dare to fight back.

Looking back on the past, Qiao Dabiao wanted to shed tears of bitterness!
Zou Mingtao was stunned.

what happened?He never said he wanted to visit the barracks!
However, even if Qiao Dabiao made no sense, Zou Mingtao didn't dare to laugh.

There's no way, Zou Mingtao, who asks for others, is so humble.

"Cough cough cough..." Zou Mingtao cleared his throat and said, "Qiao Defen, I am not here to visit the barracks. I just want you to send a team to help me guard Ping'an Town." warehouse."

"Guarding the official warehouse?" Qiao Dabiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Zou Mingtao suspiciously.

After experiencing the incident of "burning the official warehouse, God blesses and rains rain", the official warehouse of Pingjiang Mansion is famous all over the world, and Pingan Town is also famous all over the world.

The official warehouse in Ping'an Town has been expanded in the past two years, and there are millions of stones of grain piled inside.

More than half of these grains are military rations for the Dingbei Army.Only a small half is the "adjusted grain" used by the government to suppress grain prices.

If there is a loss in the official warehouse, not to mention the people of Pingjiang Mansion, even the army of Marquis Dingbei will be in a situation where there is no food available.

The guard of the official warehouse has always been Kuding under the jurisdiction of Zhizhou Yamen.

Now, Zou Mingtao suddenly said to ask Qiao Dabiao's Huwei army to help guard the official warehouse. Qiao Dabiao was surprised, but he couldn't help feeling vigilant.

Could this old Zou be trying to trick him?

Although their Huwei army was split from the Dingbei army, the Ministry of War didn't assign them the task of guarding the official storehouse?
Thinking of this, Qiao Dabiao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is not possible. The Tiger's Mighty Army sent troops, and they needed a letter from the Ministry of War."

"Qiao Shoubei, the Holy Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it coincides with King Wu and King Cheng making trouble together, and the court is not running smoothly. Even if I send someone to the capital to ask for the military survey, I don't know when I will come back, so you can't be accommodating." Accommodating?" Zou Mingtao was anxious.

There was another sentence that Zou Mingtao didn't dare to say.

The problem now is that the government is unstable.Although Xuanyuan Chaoyang sat on the throne, who knows if he can sit firmly?

Cheng Wang and Wu Wang each have a group of aristocratic families backing them. If these two join forces, Xuanyuan Chaoyang may not be able to resist.

If he could go through the normal procedures and ask for a letter from the Ministry of War, why did Zou Mingtao go to the outskirts of the city to find Qiao Dabiao?

"Without an order from the Ministry of War, the Tiger's Mighty Army cannot act without permission." Qiao Dabiao shook his head violently.

"Qiao Shoubei, I heard the news that King Wu led 5000 soldiers and horses and is heading towards Pingjiang Mansion. The [-] troops of King Wu have neither food nor supplies. Along the way, these people have already looted two cities. I am famous all over the world as an official warehouse in Pingjiang Mansion, I am afraid that when the time comes..." Zou Mingtao felt a little heavy when he said this.

Most of the people gathered by King Wu were soldiers from the Five Cities Bingma Division, and some were local hooligans from the capital.

The reason why these people are willing to rebel with Xuanyuan King Kong is to get promoted and get rich.

As for the promotion, we have to wait for King Wu to succeed in taking the position.

If you want to get rich, as long as you are ruthless, you can grab a lot of money along the way.

In order to boost morale, King Wu did not restrain the soldiers under his opponent at all.

After the city of Shunchang Prefecture was destroyed, these prostitutes burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes after entering the city.A good city of Shunchang was devastated by King Wu's soldiers for three days, and it almost became a hell on earth.

"King Wu looted two cities? Isn't there only one Shunchang Mansion?" Qiao Dabiao was stunned.

"I just received the news this morning that Chiayi Mansion, which is more than a hundred miles away from us, has also been captured by King Wu." Zou Mingtao said in a deep voice.

When King Wu's men and horses withdrew from Shunchang Mansion, the city of Shunchang Mansion was full of wailing, and nine out of ten households hung up Bai Po.

At this time, Chiayi Mansion may have followed in the footsteps of Shunchang Mansion.

"These bastards are really hateful!" Qiao Dabiao patted the table angrily.

"Qiao Shoubei, for the sake of the people of Pingjiang Mansion, Mingtao begs you to send troops to help me guard the Guancang. If there is any loss in the Guancang, the people will starve!" Having said this, Zou Mingtao's eyes became moist.

"Old Zou, Lao Zou, don't cry!" Seeing Zou Mingtao wipe away his tears, Qiao Dabiao couldn't help but feel numb.

He didn't say no to help!
Why did Zou Mingtao start crying?
"So, Qiao Shoubei is willing to send troops?" Zou Mingtao showed joy.

"I...I still have to think about it." Qiao Dabiao hesitated thinking of the consequences of sending troops without authorization.

"Qiao Bing, for the sake of the people, Zhou, please!" Zou Mingtao stood up, straightened his clothes, and knelt down towards Qiao Dabiao.

"You can't do it!" Qiao Dabiao was taken aback, and jumped aside a few steps, refusing to accept Zou Mingtao's gift.

Zou Mingtao is the fourth-rank magistrate, Qiao Dabiao is the fourth-rank guard, and the two want to wait for their official positions.

But the Xuanyuan Dynasty has always been noble and humble. In formal occasions, Zou Mingtao can call himself "the official" in front of Qiao Dabiao, but Qiao Dabiao can only call himself "bid" in front of Zou Mingtao.

If Qiao Dabiao accepts Zou Mingtao's gift, and if Zou Mingtao finds out in the future, or is known to participate in Qiao Dabiao's book, Qiao Dabiao will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor for being "arrogant and conceited".

"Qiao Shoubei, Mingtao, for the sake of the people of Pingjiang Mansion, I beg you." Seeing this, Zou Mingtao turned around and prepared to bow down to Qiao Dabiao.

Qiao Dabiao rushed forward, and before Zou Mingtao bowed down, he picked up Zou Mingtao.

"Old Zou! Can you make it if you don't do this? I promised. I will move the barracks to the northwest for a few miles. If King Wu's troops head towards the official warehouse, I will definitely send troops to protect the official warehouse. Is it all right? " Qiao Dabiao said helplessly.

Taiping Town, where Guancang is located, is only ten miles away from where Huwei's army is stationed.

Qiao Dabiao stationed the barracks near the official warehouse.If King Wu had the idea of ​​attacking the official position, Qiao Dabiao could indeed stop it in time.

Zou Mingtao knew that this was Qiao Dabiao's bottom line. Although he was not very satisfied, it could only be so for the time being.

"Zou has replaced the people of Pingjiang Mansion, and thanked Qiao Shoubei for his righteousness." Zou Mingtao made a long bow to Qiao Shoubei.

"Hey hey hey~! Take it easy! I have something to ask you." Qiao Dabiao shouted.

"What else does Qiao Shoubei want?" Zou Mingtao asked.

"Old Zou! Has King Wu's traitor really arrived in Chiayi Mansion? Who told you? Why didn't I know?" Qiao Dabiao was a little confused.

"Qiao Shoubei, don't worry, the news was delivered by the hidden guards of Chiayi Mansion, it is absolutely reliable." Zou Mingtao straightened his back and said.

"Dark guard?" Qiao Dabiao widened his copper bell eyes, and walked around Zou Mingtao.

Zou Mingtao was a little confused, not knowing what Qiao Dabiao wanted to do.
