Chapter 247 The Deterrence of the Fake Festival Axe
Yizhou, Guanghan County, Luo County. Sun Gan and his party have already arrived at the gate of Luo County.
The current Yizhou government is not yet Chengdu. After Ma Xiang's Yellow Turban Rebellion a few years later, it was moved from Luo County to Mianzhu County, and finally Liu Yan settled in Chengdu.
Luo County is very close to Chengdu, only more than forty miles away, and belongs to the Chengdu Plain. It is one of the only two plains in Yizhou. Yizhou is known as the land of abundance, mainly relying on the two major plains of Chengdu and Hanzhong.
After Sun Qian received the mission order, he packed up his luggage that day without any delay, and rushed to Luo County without stopping.
In order to save time, Sun Qian and his party didn't even take the main road, they took the small road and bypassed Baishui Pass, and arrived directly at Jiameng Pass.
Passing through the Jiameng Pass very smoothly, the land of Bashu was no longer dangerous, and entered Guanghan County directly.
Although there was no delay, it still took fifteen days for Sun Qian and others to arrive in Luo County.
Arriving at the gate of the governor's mansion, Sun Qian sent a greeting card, and was introduced to the governor's mansion not long after.
"Earlier General's Mansion is engaged in Sun Qian, and he meets the governor of Que!"
But Jian saw that Sun Qian was so polite, he couldn't help but have a good impression of Sun Qian in his heart.
"Sun does not need to be too polite, please sit down."
Sun Qian thanked him again, and then sat down in his seat.
"What's the matter with Sun Zhiyuan?"
"However, Inspector, Your Majesty appointed the Empress General to concurrently serve as the prefect of Hanzhong, and he has now arrived. The Empress General specially asked me to visit the Inspector."
Quejian nodded, he really didn't know about the replacement of the prefect of Hanzhong.
The main reason is that Sun Qian and others traveled too fast, and the news from Hanzhong had not yet reached Luocheng.
"The Empress General is being polite! I heard that Liangzhou rebelled, and Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, has been killed. Is this why the Empress General is stationed in Hanzhong?"
"That's right, Your Majesty is asking the general to train in Hanzhong and wait for the opportunity to attack Liangzhou."
Sun Gan didn't hide his clumsiness, and directly made it clear what he came for.
Quejian became a little worried, he knew Liu Zhang's name, and for a civil servant like him, he was like a butcher!
"I don't know if I can provide any help? Our Yizhou Governor's Mansion will definitely do our best!"
Que Jian was very enthusiastic, which surprised Sun Qian a little.
"Thank you, Inspector! This time, I was ordered by the Empress General to ask for help from Lord Inspector."
"Oh? I'll ask Sun Zheng to tell the story."
"Master Inspector, when the later general came to Hanzhong, His Majesty had already ordered that all military expenses should be supplied by Yizhou Inspector's Mansion."
Que Jian gradually frowned, apparently not wanting to hear these words.
What does it mean that everything is supplied by Yizhou Governor's Mansion?
"Sun Zong, I also know that the situation in Liangzhou is critical. If I can't shirk the general's request, I will definitely not shirk it. It's just..."
Sun Gan smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that Quejian would reveal his true nature so quickly.
"Is there any difficulty, Lord Inspector?"
But Jian nodded, looking helpless.
"Natural disasters have continued these years, and thieves are extremely rampant! The governor's treasury has run out of energy after conquering the dissidents and helping the people! But I must find a way to raise some military funds for the general, how about it?"
"I don't know how much supplies the Inspector can allocate to Hanzhong?"
But Jian stroked his beard with his hands, thinking for a while.
"How about this, I'll find a way to raise 50,000 shi of food and grass first, how about it?"
"Gone?"
Sun Gan couldn't help being surprised, fifty thousand stones of grain and grass? Isn't this just a beggar?
"Hey, I also know that 50,000 stones are a bit small, but this is really the limit! There is really no one left!"
Seeing Quejian's helpless look, Sun Gan almost believed it.
"As for the weapons and armor, horses and arrows, can Lord Inspector send some of them?"
Unexpectedly, Quejian shook his head and rejected the request without even thinking about it.
"Yizhou is stable, there is no war, where did all this come from? Isn't it difficult for the general to be strong!"
Sun Qian was really drunk, just now he said that he was going to conquer the ministers, so it will become Yizhou Anwen! It seems that you can't be too polite to him.
"Lord Inspector, I can't explain it when I go back like this!"
"I can't help it!"
But Jian spread his hands and told Sun Qian that I am like this, whatever I like!
"Lord Inspector, this will cause the general to misunderstand, and it will be inevitable to turn his anger on Lord Inspector."
"anger?"
Que Jian snorted coldly, he didn't expect that a small empress general's mansion would dare to threaten himself, the governor of Yizhou!
"Excuse your anger, just vent your anger. If the governor says no, then no!"
Sun Qian sighed, stood up slowly, and bowed to Quejian.
"Since that's the case, I won't bother you any more. I will report to the general after I go back."
"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell Mr. Inspector. Your Majesty has granted the rear general the right to fake axe!"
"I will take my leave."
After Sun Gan finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking at him again.
"Wait a minute! Sun Engage! Wait!"
Sun Qian ignored Jian's hasty shout, and walked out on his own.
"Sun is engaged! Please stay!"
Que Jian ran directly in front of Sun Qian, changed his previous attitude, and put on a gentle smile.
"What's the matter, Lord Inspector?"
"Sun has worked so hard from afar, why don't you stay here for a few more days and have a rest?"
Sun Qian shook his head with a smile, and directly rejected Que Jian.
"Thank you, Lord Inspector, but I have to go back and report to the Empress General immediately. Since Lord Inspector is in trouble, I can ask the Empress General to find another way as soon as possible!"
But Jian was angry in his heart, this Sun Qian is really hateful, he didn't say that Liu Zhang had the right to fake axe!
"Sun Zong to appease his anger, that's not what I mean! How about it, why don't Sun stay here for a while, and I'll let the treasury check it out, and ask about the situation in the states and counties by the way!"
Seeing that Sun Qian still had no intention of staying, Que Jian reassured him.
"Don't worry, Sun Zong. Even if you gather the strength of the entire Yizhou, the governor will not hesitate! You must meet the general's requirements!"
When Sun Gan heard this, he nodded slowly in agreement, and thanked Quejian by the way.
"I thank you again on behalf of the general, thank you Lord Inspector!"
Que Jian quickly helped Sun Gan up, dragged him back into the house, and personally helped him sit back in the seat.
"Sun Zong, I don't know how much supplies the general will need? I have a good idea!"
Sun Gan took a sip of tea, then raised a finger to Quejian.
"Ten thousand? That's easy to say! Isn't it enough for me to provide one hundred thousand stones of food and grass to the general!"
But Jian immediately felt relieved, the military capital of 10,000 people is really nothing.
Unexpectedly, Sun Qian chuckled and asked Que Jian directly.
"Hehe, 10,000? Lord Inspector is joking! How can 10,000 troops conquer Liangzhou?"
Quejian thumped in his heart, and looked at Sun Qian nervously.
"That is?"
"One hundred thousand!"
