Chapter 410 Jointly Suppressing
"Okay!" Peng Youzai was very happy, "The four county guards are all military and political experts who are in charge of the army and the people. Since the four are optimistic about the candidate for the election, there must be no mistakes, so it's decided. Feng Limbo!"
Feng Lingbo stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Peng laughed again and said, "Great hospitality is hard to come by. The four county guards look after you together. The pressure on you is not small. I hope you will not disappoint everyone's high expectations. From now on, you will be the military commander of the five counties. The soldiers and horses of the five counties are under your unified dispatch, and you must not interfere in the military and political affairs of the five counties unless there is a war."
This is not to deprive the four county guards of their military and political power, otherwise no one of the four will agree, and if the four join forces to resist, it will cause great trouble.
Feng Lingbo: "Obey! It's just..."
Peng said again with an open and aboveboard look: "It's all for everyone's benefit. If you have any difficulties, just talk about it. If there are any problems, we will discuss and solve them together in front of everyone."
Feng Lingbo: "I don't have any soldiers and horses in my hands. I have a bare-handed commander. I can't even find anyone who can enforce military laws. I don't have people who can make me easy. When there is a war, the soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. How to dispatch five soldiers?" County soldiers and horses fighting?"
Peng Youzai: "That's a problem. Four county guards, you are familiar with military affairs. What do you think of this situation?"
Zhao Xingfeng said: "This is easy to handle. Yesterday it was said that there are too many people in the five counties, and the burden on the five counties is too heavy. Since there is no need to abolish it, whoever has more people can transfer some of them to Fengdu to supervise."
Niu Youdao raised his brows, he dared to say that yesterday a group of people talked about the burden of men and horses to prepare for today. He was not familiar with the situation of military and political affairs, so he didn't see that this was a pitfall.
Can't help looking at Meng Shanming and the others, and found that everyone frowned slightly, as if they didn't expect to come here today.
boom! Shang Chaozong slapped the table with his palm, and it resounded through the hall, attracting everyone's attention.
Shang Chaozong jumped up, stared at Zhao Xingfeng and said: "This king has the most people, whoever wants it can take it." Looking back at Peng Youzai, "Master Peng, how about this, the military and political power of the two counties is also the king. No more, this king abdicates to let the virtuous, willing to be an idler in the mountains, whoever wants to do it, do it!"
Niu Youdao smiled slightly, the words were generous, and at the same time reassured him that Shang Chaozong could say such words, which showed that he had confidence in the control of the opponent's soldiers and horses, and it was not something anyone could take away if he wanted to.
Peng pressed his hands against him again, and said with a smile: "My lord, don't speak out. No one here wants to deprive him of military and political power. Whoever dares to do this, I will be the first to refuse. It's all up to you. Talk, have something to say, be reasonable, there is no need to slap the table and get angry. Meng Shuai, do you think so?" The last sentence was said by Chao Meng Shanming.
Meng Shanming immediately said to Shang Dynasty Zong: "My lord, why not sit down and listen to everyone's opinions first."
"Huh!" Shang Chaozong stared at Zhao Xingfeng and snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat back down again.
Mei Linsheng, governor of Huxi County, said: "Your Highness, please calm down. Brother Zhao's words are not pleasant to hear, but your opinion is worth considering. You may wish to think about it, His Highness has the most soldiers and horses in his hands, so it is not a big problem to dispatch some. Secondly, His subordinates have already annexed Many of the original troops in Guangyi County are well-known to Feng Dudu. If these people are transferred here, Feng Dudu can directly take command, saving the time for harmony. The thing of war may come at any time, not necessarily Even if we beat others, we have to guard against others attacking us at any time, and it is better to be prepared as soon as possible.”
This reason really makes people unable to pick any big thorns, Shang Chaozong drank a toast.
Peng asked again: "Then how many people are appropriate to allocate to Dudu Feng?"
Wu Tiandang, the governor of Wuyang County, said: "It's inappropriate to allocate too much. If it's too much, I'm afraid it will misunderstand the prince. In my opinion, the most important thing is to have soldiers, not to have many. A few thousand people are enough. After all, Feng Dudu is only a wartime commander." With a unified dispatch right, it is easy to affect the defense of each county if there are too many troops on hand to occupy the troops of each county. I don't know if I say this, Feng Dudu thinks it is appropriate?"
Only a few thousand people? Shang Chaozong couldn't help but look up at the other party.
Even Niu Youdao was a little surprised by this request. There were only a few thousand people. The Shang Dynasty Zong had two hundred thousand troops in his hands. It is not too much to give a mere few thousand people. .
Feng Lingbo nodded and said: "Brother Wu, a few thousand people are enough, five thousand, I want five thousand people!"
Zhao Xingfeng hummed and said, "Five thousand cavalry are considered elite!"
As soon as the five thousand cavalry came out, the so-called five thousand men and horses immediately changed. Five thousand men are nothing, but the weight of five thousand war horses is heavy.
Shang Chaozong asked back: "Surnamed Zhao, will you send five thousand war horses?"
Zhao Xingfeng said: "If the lord's one thousand horses are not given to me, the total number of war horses in my hands that are capable of fighting will not be enough for five thousand horses. Where can I get five thousand horses?"
Shang Chaozong: "Then what are you farting? It's not your property, you can give it whatever you want, right?"
Mei Linsheng said again, "My lord, we are all one family, no matter what your family is or my family, we must consider the overall situation."
Shang Chaozong: "Family? Well said, can Brother Mei's wife be indistinguishable from this king?"
As soon as these words came out, Peng Yulan was almost spit out by a sip of wine, her eyes widened, and she looked at Shang Chaozong in disbelief. She didn't expect her son-in-law to say such words in front of her. How can someone with a royal demeanor say such obscene words?
Feng Lingbo can understand, the army is used to being dumb, if you don't want to restrain yourself, what's the point of talking nonsense?
Feng Ruonan, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but stare at Shang Chaozong fiercely.
Niu Youdao cheerfully toasted Feng Entai, who had no choice but to toast to accompany him.
Mei Linsheng couldn't talk about Peng Youzai's granddaughter, Shang Chaozong's wife, so he could only sigh: "My lord, how can humans and animals be confused. My lord, with all due respect, it is reasonable to say that everyone's interests are the same. With so many war horses in your hands, you should share them equally with everyone, and share them according to the ratio of everyone. I think everyone has no objection to your share. But after all, you have to consider the needs of the prince to form Yingyang Wuliewei. 10,000 At least a war horse must be guaranteed, and everyone can’t even ignore this reason.”
Wu Tiandang also nodded and said: "Even if the prince takes out five thousand horses, he still has tens of thousands of horses in his hand, far more than other counties, enough to form a heroic military guard. I really don't know that the prince alone occupies so many horses What do you mean by disregarding the lives of other counties?"
Shang Chaozong: "It's nothing interesting, I just can't understand your villainous face. Why did you go to each side when you were in charge? Now you think of war horses? If you want war horses, if you have the ability to get them yourself, how can there be so many in the world?" Something cheap?"
Unexpectedly, Peng, who was sitting in the upper position, said slowly again: "My lord, the war horse was bought by Tianyumen with money, not for the family. All parties must take care of it."
Shang Chaozong's cheeks tightened when he couldn't say a word, making him speechless.
He really wanted to ask Peng Youzai, did you really get it from Tianyumen? Is there something you can buy with money? If you, Tianyu Sect, really had this ability, you wouldn't have satisfied the counties a long time ago, so you still have to wait until now to divide it up?
However, he couldn't provoke and slap Tian Yumen in the face in public. He had to be measured in everything. Some things could be shot at the table, and some things couldn't be shot. He had to endure it.
Peng Youzai: "Okay, I have heard everyone's opinions. The minority obeys the majority, and the opinion of the majority prevails. As I said yesterday, there is no need to abolish the soldiers and horses of the five counties, and Qingshan and Guangyi counties allocate 5,000 troops. A sergeant, five thousand horses, handed over to Feng Lingbo to form an army overseer, and the supply channel for the army remains unchanged! That's it, let's all drink!" After finishing speaking, he toasted to everyone in person.
It's just that what he said was tantamount to saying that not only did Shang Chaozong provide Feng Lingbo with 5,000 troops, but also that Shang Chaozong would continue to provide military pay.
Feng Lingbo was the first to raise his glass in response, and Zhao Xingfeng, Mei Linsheng, and Wu Tiandang naturally followed suit.
Fei Changliu and others looked at Niu Youdao, and Niu Youdao followed suit.
Niu Youdao happily raised his wine glass, Fei Changliu and others immediately followed, Meng Shanming, Lan Ruoting and others also toasted.
The wine glass in Shang Chaozong's hand was really heavy, but he still picked it up slowly.
Feng Ruonan was watching Shang Chaozong's actions, if Shang Chaozong didn't raise his glass, she, the concubine, would not be able to hold the wine glass up.
She knew in her heart that no matter how her husband and wife relationship with Shang Chaozong was, this time it was really a group of people who joined forces to hold down his husband and cut off his flesh. Her natal family was among them, and it was her natal family who benefited. She was really embarrassed. It's not helping either side.
"Have a blast!" Peng again did it first as a respect, and after drinking it, he lit the bottom of the empty cup to show everyone, and invited loudly: "Enjoy yourselves, you are welcome."
A group of people sat down after toasting, some of them were happy, but Shang Chaozong was naturally unhappy.
Now blind people can see that a group of people headed by Tianyumen have already teamed up to set up a cover to cover this side.
The 28,000 or so war horses of the Shang Dynasty Zong sold 5,000 horses to Jinzhou next door, and another 3,000 horses were distributed yesterday, and another 5,000 horses were cut off today. Fifteen thousand horses were ordered, and Feng Lingbo's men and horses were required to be paid here. This situation seems to be that Tianyumen is deliberately controlling the power of Shang Chaozong, and does not want Shang Chaozong to be too big. dominant.
After the banquet for seeing off the guests, everyone naturally went back to their respective homes. According to the etiquette, Shang Chaozong and his wife had to go to a special ceremony to bid farewell to Feng Lingbo and his wife.
Niu Youdao and others gathered outside the mountain gate and waited.
The wheelchair was pushed to Niu Youdao's side, and Meng Shanming seemingly casually said, "We don't want to think about internal strife, but others did it first."
Niu Youdao said with a smile: "This thing is incomparable. The prince is surrounded by people from Tianyumen, and his life is in their hands. If you don't agree, you can't do it. It's the same sentence. Before the matter is completed, the unity among the five counties It comes first."
Meng Shanming actually wanted to test what he had behind him, otherwise he really didn't know what to do, but Niu Youdao was very strict, and he still refused to reveal the truth, so he had to give up.
Lan Ruoting took this opportunity to remind her, "Master Dao, the concubine also has her own difficulties, so you might as well be considerate."
Niu Youdao understood what he meant, pointed out that he stabbed Feng Ruonan with words, and replied: "It is because I understand her difficulties that I embarrass her."
Lan Ruoting: "How do you say that?"
Niu Youdao said casually: "When the prince dismantles his father-in-law's platform and embarrasses his father-in-law, the princess can't say what's wrong, right? I'm also thinking of the prince."
