Chapter 537: The negotiation is over

Wait for Xun Chen to finish reading. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Feng opened his mouth and asked, "How?" ”

Xun Chen's face was hard to see: "Sure enough, the thief nature has not changed!" ”

"The Montenegrin Army, it's actually on the next gram."

"Led the troops to attack Wei County!"

In fact, Zhao Feng was also very surprised by this news.

It stands to reason that the Montenegrin Army sacked all the two million stone grains that Zhongshan Kingdom had transported to Yuan Shao.

It should not be because of the lack of food, go to Wei County to loot grain.

Even if one million stone grain was distributed to Zhao Feng.

They also have at least 900,000 stone of grain.

Enough to eat for months.

And even if you want to loot the grain, you will have to wait for at least half a month.

At that time, all parts of Wei County should have almost finished harvesting winter wheat.

In this way, we can loot food, and plunder a little more.

But now is clearly not the time for accidents.

Zhao Feng shook his head: "Why are you and the Black Mountain Army fighting?" ”

"You must know what you know."

"It's been talking for so long."

"Don't waste any more time."

"After you go back, tell Yuan Shao to return it to Shangdang County within ten days."

"Otherwise, I'll lead my troops over and take it back myself!"

"I think, Yuan Shao shouldn't want it now, so I'll follow suit."

Zhao Feng: This is a naked threat.

Because once you use troops, what happens after that.

It's not something that both sides can expect.

And at that time, even if Yuan Shao agreed to return Shangdang County.

It is also a loss of face and a feeling of inferiority.

Other princes may follow suit.

At the very least, he can take the opportunity to get a little benefit from Yuan Shao.

Xun Chen sighed inwardly: "There is no need to go back and ask the lord." ”

"Before I came, the lord had already authorized me to take full responsibility for this matter."

Xun Chen had to back down.

Because once the army is raised, it is difficult to predict what will happen later.

But there is one thing, which can be predicted.

It was if Zhao Feng's soldiers felt that it was too easy for Shangdang County to take it.

At that time, Yuan Shao was fighting with the Montenegrin army.

Maybe Zhao Feng will take the opportunity to lead his troops into Hanoi County.

Even if Zhao Feng doesn't have this idea now.

But when the time comes, if a few generals ask for orders, Zhao Feng may agree.

It's better to return Shangdang County to Zhao Feng now.

Besides, the return of Shangdang County is a matter of foregone conclusion.

Now that he has done it, Xun Chen continued: "However, there is one thing. ”

"Zhao Tingshi must agree."

"Otherwise, the matter of returning Shangdang County will be really difficult to say in a short period of time."

Zhao Feng asked with a solemn face, "Say it." ”

"As long as it's not an excessive request, I'll definitely agree!"

Xun Chen nodded: "We need Shangdang County's grain tax this quarter!" ”

"Just give us the grain tax."

"Shangdang County, Zhao Tingshi, take it back whenever you like!"

"In addition, the county soldiers of Shangdang County must also let me wait to take them away!"

Although Zhao Feng didn't know how many people there were in Shangdang County.

But judging by the news sent back from the drunken immortal buildings in various parts of Shangdang County.

The population of Shangdang County should be around 200,000.

Compared with the materials left in the Assassin's Mansion, there are about 100,000 more people.

In other words, Yuan Shao should have also migrated part of the population.

It may also be possible that Zhang Yan migrated from the mountains to the Montenegrin people earlier.

Based on the population, Zhao Feng estimated that the tax should be between 400,000 and 500,000 stone of grain.

For Zhao Feng, this is all trivial.

As for the county soldiers.

There are a total of thirteen counties in Shangdang County.

In addition to the eldest son, there should be one or two thousand county soldiers.

The remaining twelve county towns also have at least 500 to 800 county soldiers.

In other words, Shangdang County can still pull out eight or nine thousand soldiers to reinforce Wei County.

These soldiers, even if they stayed, Zhao Feng didn't dare to keep them.

Because they are all flamboyant parts.

In case of war with Zhang Yang in the future.

Zhang Yang may only need to take a few words to get these soldiers to defect.

Whether it is in the field or defending the city, it will be a huge trouble.

Therefore, Zhao Feng still needs to place them extra.

It's okay to be asked to leave, and I helped myself solve a placement problem.

Zhao Feng nodded: "Your problem, it's not a problem." ”

"Because I still need to relocate some people to Shangdang County."

"So I'll pay the grain tax directly to you."

"As for the county soldiers, when my people go to take over, you can let them gather at the designated place!"

Xun Chen pondered for a moment: "In terms of Zhao Tingshi's credibility. ”

"I shouldn't break my promise for the sake of a mere 500,000 stone of grain."

"This matter will be done according to what Zhao Tingshi said!"

At such times, there is no point in asking for additional taxes.

Because as long as the winter wheat is harvested, Zhao Feng will naturally know how much.

A little more, a little less, maybe it doesn't matter.

But if it costs more than 100,000 stones, Zhao Feng will obviously feel deceived.

Zhao Feng smiled: "That feeling is good!" ”

Then he shouted loudly outside the council chamber: "Give the order to go down, prepare a banquet, and entertain the envoy!" ”

A guard ran into the door, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "Whoa! ”

With that, he withdrew from the chamber.

Xun Chen nodded, and did not refuse.

It's just a meal, and it doesn't take much time.

Then he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms: "Since the matter of Shangdang County has been negotiated." ”

"We also show our sincerity."

"Is it possible to sign a non-aggression agreement?"

Zhao Feng pondered for a moment: "This matter is not in a hurry. ”

"Let you stay in Jinyang for a few more days."

"Wait until my platoon takes over Shangdang County."

"Let's sign a non-aggression pact again!"

Xun Chen nodded: "It's okay." ”

"I'm going to go back and write a letter to tell my lord about it."

"In addition, it is also necessary to tell the county magistrates of Shangdang County about this."

"Don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings at that time."

"Chen retires for the time being!"

Zhao Feng looked at Xiong Da: "Xiong Da." ”

"Take the envoy to the post house to rest!"

Xiong Dayi arched his hand: "Wow! ”

After speaking, he withdrew from the conference hall with Xun Chen.

Wait for this Xun Chen and Xiong Da to leave.

Zhao Feng looked at Tian Feng: "Yuan Hao thinks it's better for us to send someone to Shangdang County to receive it?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment: "Does the lord still remember the promise to General Wang Bi and General Li Bi? ”

Zhao Feng nodded: "Naturally remember." ”

"Since Yuan Hao mentioned this."

"I think I think that the new Shangdang County Taishou should choose one of Wang Ping and Li Gao, right?"

Because there were too many people in the council room, Tian Feng was not able to directly say the candidate, and he was worried that it would spread the matter to the ears of another person and cause unnecessary trouble.

Just a slight nod of the head means that's what it means.

Zhao Feng saw Tian Feng's expression, and knew Tian Feng's scruples in his heart: "Then let me think about this matter first." ”

"We'll talk about it later!"

Zhao Feng then looked around: "For the Black Mountain Army's attack on Wei County." ”

"What do you think?"
