Chapter 23 Dilemma

They used thunder and bloody means to drive out the city guards who were obviously overstaffed and unreasonable. After a thorough investigation, out of the more than 7,000 city guards on the school ground, only less than 2,000 were real city guard soldiers. The others, All those generals were hired on a temporary basis to fool Lu Chengfeng!

Those soldiers whose identities were found out were worried about how Lu Chengfeng would deal with them. As a result, under Wu Qi's suggestion, all the soldiers present, whether they were real soldiers or those who were hired by the generals, were the prostitutes of Xiaomengcheng. Everyone made up the books on the spot, registered their names on the military registration, and officially became the city guards of Xiaomeng City.

Lu Chengfeng poured out his personal wealth and gave a large reward to the frightened soldiers of the city guards, which temporarily calmed the hearts of these soldiers. Afterwards, Zhang Hu and others immediately supplemented their military status and became generals at all levels of this city guard army.

Wu Qi made another suggestion to disrupt the city guards of each battalion and then regroup them, so as to minimize the influence of the original generals as much as possible, and to ensure the stability of the new city guards as much as possible.

After all, Lu Chengfeng is the official officer of Xiaomengcheng. As long as he pays more attention to the soldiers, and then lets Zhang Hu and others train them hard, it is best to train their brains into sweat. The army is also unlikely to have another accident. After a long time, the army slowly gathered the hearts of the army, and the city guards of Xiaomengcheng really became Lu Chengfeng's private army.

Zhang Hu and others led the soldiers to turn back to the barracks, and Lu Chengfeng was in a good mood on the way back to the Dian military mansion.

"Don't beg, if it hadn't been for Yi Yan and the others who had undergone a sudden change, I'm afraid we wouldn't have taken over this team so easily. Although there are only less than 2,000 veterans, everyone's aptitude is pretty good. Qualified soldiers."

Looking at Wuqi thoughtfully, Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we would like to thank the thief who emptied the city guard!"

Wuqi looked up at the sky and said with a light smile: "A good person has good rewards. That robber has done you a big favor this time, he will definitely have good luck!"

Lu Chengfeng nodded, looked at Wu Qi up and down for a long time, and finally shook his head. It doesn't look like it could be done by Wu Qi. Hundreds of guards in the city guard are vegetarians? Wuqi's cultivation is only the peak of the day after tomorrow. Can he sneak into the city guard and empty so many treasures overnight?

Glancing at Lu Chengfeng, Wu Qi said with a smile: "Lord City Guard, they should have recovered their senses today. The people they placed in Dian Jun's Mansion were driven away, and the group of trash in the City Guard Army was also driven away. Their people in the city guards have been wiped out, be careful of them!"

Lu Chengfeng frowned, lowered his head and thought for a while, then he shook his head and said, "No way. There are aristocratic families' rules, and I am under the guise of a Liyang Lu clan. I am the Dian officer of Xiaomengcheng, the army. The matter here is my decision. Unless I rebel, they will not be able to interfere in the affairs of the city guards."

After listening to Lu Chengfeng's words, don't beg and keep silent. Maybe he was right, or maybe he was wrong.

But Yi Yan, the dead fat man, would really give up the big fat city guard army? Thousands of soldiers' empty pay every year, there is too much oil and water in it.

A year ago, Lu Chengfeng's former officer Dian died in a conflict with the barbarians, and his generals suffered great damage. Yi Yan immediately attacked with several clan brothers, and the remaining capable generals among the generals were crowded out, and the capable soldiers were all replaced, or forced to leave the military camp, or became the guard of the city. Get close to the guard.

In the end, the city guards still retained their full combat effectiveness, and there was only one cavalry from the Tianzi No. 3 battalion that was stationed in Mengcun a few days ago. This was also the last elite left by Lu Chengfeng's former officer Dian.

Under the control of Yi Yan and others, the air pay for the thousands of people in the City Guards was a large sum of money. Over the past year, these city guards have never been out of action, and the ordnance has not been worn out in the slightest. However, the treasurer appointed by Yi Yan still reported the damage according to the daily wear and tear of nearly 8,000 soldiers.

The thousands of additional sets of armor and ordnance also fell into Yi Yan's hands.

The country of Lu is strong, and the soldiers are well-armored. A complete set of ordnance is very valuable. The profit from thousands of sets of ordnance is enough to make Yi Yan have another layer of white meat on his belly.

All of this information comes from Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu, who has been in Xiaomengcheng for several years, is very clear about the changes in the guards of Xiaomengcheng in recent years. Zhang Hu understood Yi Yan's life as a city guard. Wu Qi didn't believe it, Yi Yan, who had recovered, could really let Lu Chengfeng integrate the city guards.

Looking at Lu Chengfeng, who was full of self-confidence, Wu Qi coughed and tapped his right shoulder, which was still tightly wrapped.

Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly darkened. Smart people don't need words, a gesture is enough to say a lot.

Yi Xing's disciple provokes Wu Qi, which is equivalent to Yi Xing provokes Lu Chengfeng. And Yi Yan and the others came to serve as city guards in a wild city like Xiaomengcheng, they were nothing more than the descendants of Moyang Yi's family. Publicly expressing malice towards Lu Chengfeng, there is a strong conspiracy behind it. Lu Chengfeng, the signboard of the Lu family's eldest son, is actually not very useful.

Sure enough, when the group returned to the gate of the city guard house, Yi Yan, who was fat and pierced like a hill, led someone to block the gate. As soon as he saw Lu Chengfeng, Yi Yan jumped and shouted: "Lu Chengfeng, you are a Dian officer of Xiaomengcheng, but how can you act so recklessly? You drove away all the soldiers in the army. Senior general, can you guarantee the combat effectiveness of this army?"

Wuqi looked up at the sky, in the blue sky, a large white cloud drifted gently, and the color was like washing, the environment here is really good, very good!

Lu Chengfeng stepped up without showing weakness, he strode up in front of Yi Yan, looked directly into Yi Yan's eyes and sneered: "I am the Dian officer of Xiaomeng City, no matter how reckless I am, that's all. The matter in my power! If the city guard is not satisfied, you can report it to the Ming court!"

Yi Yan closed his mouth with a 'ba da', his eyes twitched, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Reaching out and patted Yi Yan's belly, which is fatter than the belly of three or five pregnant women combined, Lu Chengfeng said coldly, "I see the bad debts in the past, in the eyes of Moyang Yi's family, I won't hold them accountable, I won't hold them accountable. Ignore it, I will burn all the account books in the army tonight. No one will want to interfere with the city guards in the future. Once the army is paid for food and grass, it must be supplied on time and according to the amount, otherwise!"

His eyes were like knives, and he slashed across Yi Yan and the several Yi family children behind him, Lu Chengfeng shouted sharply: "I know what you think about me! But don't forget, I am always Lu's eldest son, My mother, Madam Rongyang, has always been the current housewife of the Lu family, and the only daughter of the Marquis of Yuanyang!"

Yi Yan slapped his mouth, a bright smile piled up on his white and fat face, and grabbed Lu Chengfeng's hand.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, you misunderstood what Yi Yan meant! Yi Yan was also afraid that the battle strength of the city guards would drop, and those barbarians would enter the city to harm the people again! Kindness, kindness! Hahaha, these few days If there is something in the mansion, don't bother Brother Lu! In a few days, I will invite Brother Lu to the mansion for a banquet, and a banquet at the mansion! Hahaha, you must appreciate it, you must appreciate it!"

With a smile on his face, Yi Yan diligently opened the door.

Lu Chengfeng sneered and strode into the city guard mansion. Wuqi walked past Yi Yan with steady steps, suddenly turned his head and smiled at him: "Are you still afraid of barbarians making trouble? Just relying on the wall of the city guard mansion, and relying on the thousands of elite guards in the city guard house, how could the barbarians be able to do it? Can you get in?"

Yi Yan is polite to Lu Chengfeng, but dismissive of Wuqi. He snorted arrogantly, raised his head and said coldly: "What do you know? My lord is sympathetic to the world, and it is the poor people of Xiaomengcheng! The barbarians make trouble, and they are the ones who suffer!"

Wuqi turned around to face Yi Yan, pointed to the direction of the backyard of the city guard's mansion and smiled: "Sir, you are rich, if you really pity those little people, you will pluck a few hairs and build the city wall of Xiaomeng City in a harmonious way. The city walls of the city guard house are the same, so what kind of barbarians are there to be afraid of?”

With a strange smile, Wu Qi walked into the city guard mansion with three steps.

After finally calming down, Yi Yanmeng was suddenly brought up by Wu Qi, who suddenly opened his mouth and shouted in a piercing voice to the sky, "My money, my money, my money. Who! Who killed a thousand knives and stole all my money!"

Behind Yi Yan, Yi Xing, Yi De, and the court officer Yi Ruo wailed in unison: "Brother, you still have a golden bed left, but we even stole our underwear! This thief must Let's capture him alive!"

The brothers were in a mess again in front of the door. They were fat and not very healthy. When Yi Yan remembered the huge amount of property he had lost, he immediately took a few strokes and rolled his eyes and fainted. Even though he fainted with foam at the mouth, he was still muttering 'my money, my money' in his mouth!

Looking back at the chaotic city gate, Wu Qi returned to Dian Jun Mansion with a big smile.

Lu Chengfeng was already sitting in the lobby of the Dianjun Mansion, staring at each other with an ugly face and Lao Hei's big eyes.

Wu Qi hurried over and looked at the two of them in surprise: "What's wrong? Young Master? Old Hei? What are you doing?"

With a light cough, Lu Chengfeng rubbed his cheeks and softened his expression. He looked at Wuqigan and smiled and said, "I was on the school grounds just now. I rewarded those soldiers with a lot of money to gain their hearts. Just now, Lao Hei told me that now my son, I only have ten gold coins left!"

Wuqi frowned, he nodded in agreement and said: "It is indeed a very serious problem. A man can't be without power for a day, let alone without money. Do you want to live on your salary? Your salary for a year How many?"

Lu Chengfeng's brows furrowed deeply. He tapped his fingers on the bill a few times and shook his head, "It's just the salary of a hundred sergeants."

Wu Qi looked at Lu Chengfeng without words.

Unlike Yi Yan, an official who scraped the land purely for the sake of scraping the land, Lu Chengfeng could not rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. He is the official army of Xiaomeng City, and he can only spend money to expand the city guards and his own personal guards, which is in the interests of Lu Chengfeng. Like Xue Yiyan, sucking blood from the City Guards to make money is of no value to Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng needed a lot of money to make the city guards in Xiaomengcheng a strong army and to collect a large number of patrons for his own use.

Especially the disciple, a rich and powerful son, up to now, there are only two disciples, Wu Qi and Zhang Hu. It is a shame to spread this out. Without a large number of outstanding disciples, Lu Chengfeng, the eldest son of the Lu family, no one would listen to him even if he spoke.

After sitting cross-legged with the case beside Lu Chengfeng, Wu Qi pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "Maybe I can solve the plight of the young master who is short of money right now."

Lu Chengfeng was instantly overjoyed.

Squinting, Wu Qi hid his hands in his sleeves, and said indifferently: "However, I want to know, as the eldest son of the Lu family in Liyang, why is the son so distressed? It's fine if he has no money, and he was sent by his family to such a degree. In a remote place to be a small army. Even the concubine of the Yi family, who has been well-connected with the Lu family for generations, dares to provoke the son, what is this for?"

Lao Hei's face became ugly, and he gave Wu Qi a fierce look.

Lu Chengfeng sighed deeply. He looked at Wuqi and asked, "Do you really want to know?"

Wu Qi hurriedly nodded, in his soul, the bad taste that belonged to Le Xiaobai appeared.

"I, really want to know!"

*********

Trying to solve the plight of my son, this is the consciousness of a chief disciple!

Efforts to vote for the pig head, this is the consciousness that the comrades who read the pig head book should have!

Bills, bills, bills, like the fat on Yi Yan's body, a lot of bills are in vain!
