Chapter 249 Contradictions Emerge

Fifteen days later, Liu Zhang, who was in Hanzhong Nanzheng, received a reply from Sun Qian.

"Haha, good! Good! As expected of Gongyou! Sure enough, I saw the right person!"

Everyone didn't understand why Liu Zhang was so excited all of a sudden, and asked him quickly.

"My lord, why are you so excited?"

Liu Zhang laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Instead of answering, he looked at Yan Shan who was on the side.

"Yan Juncheng, how much military funding do you think Quejian will give us?"

"this…"

According to Yan Shan's understanding of Quejian, there must be nothing to give. But seeing Liu Zhang's excited appearance, it was obvious that his guess did not match.

"Could it be that thousands of weapons were given? One hundred thousand stones of food and grass?"

Just after Yan Shan finished speaking, Yang Lin on the side snorted coldly.

"Humph, how can that traitor Quejian give us so much? We have six thousand soldiers and only give us 30,000 shi every year! Return the weapons? Which of the soldiers in our Hanzhong County has a handy weapon?"

Liu Zhang did not blame Yang Lin, but understood him very well. Liu Zhang also sent people to inspect these county soldiers these days, and the results simply surprised him!

These are said to be county soldiers, but in fact they may not even be as good as bandits! There is no armor at all, and the weapons are all tattered!

According to the descriptions of Huang Zhong and others, these county soldiers in Hanzhong are at the level of ordinary yellow turban thieves, far inferior to yellow turban wrestlers!

"Hehe, Commander Yang, don't be angry, this time you've spent your money on frugality!"

"My lord, how much did Quejian give? Tell us quickly."

Liu Zhang didn't expect Jia Xu to be so active, so he nodded to him.

"Ten thousand strong bows, fifty thousand arrows! Five thousand war horses!"

"What! So many!"

Before Liu Zhang could finish speaking, Yang Lin was startled. He also looked at Yan Shan in disbelief.

"Brother Yang, be safe and don't be impatient, let the prefect finish."

"Master Taishou forgive me, I am really shocked."

Liu Zhang didn't blame Yang Lin, but nodded to him with a smile.

"Newly made 25,000 sets of iron armor."

"armor?"

"Twenty-five thousand sets?"

Now Lian Huang Zhong and the other generals couldn't help but exclaimed.

armor! What concept?

Except for Dian Wei's Wuwei Battalion, which had 500 pairs of iron armor, the rest of the soldiers and horses wore leather armor. Moreover, these five hundred armors were obtained by Liu Zhang when he wiped out the Yellow Turbans. It is a fool's dream to expect the imperial court to give him iron armors!

"My lord, with the iron armor, you can build an iron-blooded warrior! If you put on the iron armor for Wu Fengying, and then cooperate with the car suspension formation, then...then..."

Tai Shici trembled a little, a fast-rotating iron wheel had already appeared in his mind, ruthlessly running over all enemies!

"My lord, if the Wufeng Battalion wears iron armor, then they will be absolutely invincible on the battlefield!"

Liu Zhang naturally knew this truth, and quickly waved to them.

"Okay, ok, 25,000 armors are enough for you!"

"My lord, where's the food?"

Liu Zhang looked at Jia Xu strangely, wondering what happened to Jia Xu today, and was so curious.

"500,000 shi of grain and grass, 300,000 shi will be sent first, and 200,000 shi will be sent after the autumn harvest!"

Yan Shan and Yang Lin stood up straight away, staring at Liu Zhang dumbfounded.

"Lord prefect, is this really what Quejian promised to send to Hanzhong?"

Liu Zhang nodded to the two of them with certainty.

"That's right, but Jian sent three thousand soldiers to escort them to Yangping Pass, and we'll take over when the time comes."

Yan Shan and Yang Lin looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

It's unbelievable that the penny-pinching but frugal is actually a good person who will go to the end and send the Buddha to the west?

Su Gu usually had to fetch 30,000 shi of grain and grass by himself, but now so many supplies were sent to Yangping Pass!

"Master Taishou, but this man is insidious and cunning. Based on what I know about him, he would never be so kind. Besides, Yizhou doesn't produce horses at all. Where did he get five thousand horses? Even if there were, he would give them to us with peace of mind. ?"

Liu Zhang shook his head, but did not agree with Yan Shan's words.

"Yan Juncheng, we can't treat Quejian too badly! After all, I have the right to fake axe given by His Majesty, but I can't save these military resources? Isn't he afraid of losing his head?"

Yan Shan didn't say anything more, but judging from his expression, he also knew that he didn't fully agree with Liu Zhang's words.

"Master Taishou, I also think what Yan Juncheng said makes sense. Quejian is a villain, greedy by nature, how can he take out these military funds so happily? Not to mention these battle armors, only 500,000 shi, grain and grass, he How long will the people be exploited?"

Liu Zhang interrupted Yang Lin with his hand, and his face became gloomy.

"Lieutenant Yang, Sun Qian has sent back the news, and recorded the entire process of the negotiation, and even went down to the details of what Sun Qian's reaction was like after every sentence he said. Don't think too much about it. gone."

"Besides, you keep saying that Panzhou is not a good person. I have been in touch with him for a while, and I don't think there is anything bad about him."

Yang Lin didn't react at first, but when he heard Liu Zhang say good things for Panzhou, he became anxious immediately.

"Master Taishou, don't be fooled by this thief! He..."

"Okay! Of course I can tell the difference between right and wrong, so you don't need to say too much!"

Yang Lin still wanted to speak, but was stopped directly by Yan Shan who was at the side, and at the same time pulled him to prepare to leave.

"Master Taishou is right, we two are too sensitive! We still have work to do, so we will leave first."

Liu Zhang ignored the two of them, waved his hands directly and watched them leave.

Despite Yang Lin's reluctance, Yan Shanqiang dragged him out of the prefect's mansion.

"What are you pulling me for! Don't you know who Panzhou is? Just watch him harm us in Hanzhong!"

Yan Shan was also quite helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

"How could I not know, but the prefect didn't know what kind of hallucinogenic drug Panzhou had given him, and he changed his previous attitude!"

"Hey! It's disgusting!"

Yang Lin has a violent temper, and he is on the verge of erupting at this moment.

I thought that a very powerful rear general would finally be able to restrain traitors like Panzhou, but I didn't expect the result to be completely opposite!

Su Gu was cautious before, not daring to offend Panzhou too much. Now Liu Zhang is bold, he did not expect to become friends with Pan Zhou!

"Yo, what's the matter, you two? What are you doing standing at the door?"

Just when Yan Shan and Yang Lin were angry, a voice that disgusted them came from their ears.

"Panzhou..."

The word Panzhou was almost read out by Yang Lin through his teeth, full of anger.

"Lieutenant Yang, what do you want me to do?"

Panzhou directly ignored Yang Lin's attitude, with a smile on his face and a hint of disdain.

"Humph!"

Yang Lin walked away with a flick of his sleeves, refusing to look at Panzhou at all.

"hehe."

Pan Zhou showed a sneer, and then looked at Yan Shan who was still there.

"Brother Yan, is Taishou Liu at the residence?"

Yan Shan nodded, said nothing, and left without saying anything.

"Hmph, you two idiots, sooner or later you will kneel in front of me and beg me!"

Panzhou cursed angrily in his heart, and went directly to the mansion.
