Turbulent Times Chapter 1007: A good move

Not waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, Wang Junlin pointed to Xue Li and continued: "General Xue is here too, you can ask General Xue, has the navy sent a tael of silver since the Dou Shihai rebellion in the past three months?" If I hadn't coordinated with General Xue to borrow part of the county soldiers' salaries and rice grains, and the rest of the navy would have rebelled, there would be detailed accounts to check all of this. I am willing to be captured by General Zhao Lang and sent to Luoyang for punishment!"

How could Xue Li dare to offend Wang Junlin, but this Zhao Chen is clearly a member of Yu Wenshu, and His Majesty also trusts him very much. He had no conflict of interest with him, and neither side wanted to offend, so he quickly became a peacemaker. , Said: "Master Wang, General Zhao Lang, take a breather. Lord Wang, General Zhao Lang has just arrived, and you don't know the situation. You always have to wait for General Zhao Lang to take a breath, drink a sip of tea, rest your feet, and then return the money." Things..."

He said to Zhao Chen again: "General Zhao Lang, what Mr. Wang said just now is indeed the truth. After Dou Shihai rushed the news of the navy's rebellion to the capital eight hundred miles away, the imperial court did not send food and money again. Indeed, it was Mr. Wang and I who negotiated to pay part of the army’s salary and rations for the county soldiers, so that the officers and soldiers of the Navy barely survived the difficulties until General Zhao Lang came over.”

The navy officers and soldiers cut off their salaries and provisions, Wang Junlin generously borrowed it for three months, and now he used this to card Zhao Chen.

These sailors are naturally grateful to Wang Junlin, and Wang Junlin's reputation among the navy officers and soldiers has also increased a lot.

Only at this time did Xue Li realize that Wang Junlin was so sophisticated, and left a large amount of IOUs waiting for Zhao Chen to pay back, but what he borrowed was the food and military pay of the county soldiers. Now he and Wang Junlin were also tied together. ...With Zhao Chen's character, he obviously wouldn't believe that he was coerced by Wang Junlin before?

Speaking of which, Xue Li never expected that Yu Wenshu would think of a way to raise the rank of the navy, not to mention that he even arranged for an old county prince to suppress Wang Junlin, otherwise he would have sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Chen in advance He explained the matter, but now it was too late, no matter what he said at this time, Zhao Chen probably wouldn't believe it.

Zhao Chen's face is ashen, the official has a fart, and the man who has silver in his hand is the uncle. He brought one hundred thousand taels of silver here. The gang of Qiu Ba can be controlled as soon as possible, and besides, the court has recently been short of money, and the next batch of naval salaries and food is still unknown! How dare he give all the money to Wang Junlin so easily?

In the end, Xue Li said all the good things, and Zhao Chen agreed to immediately pay the county soldiers fifty thousand taels of silver. Wang Junlin changed his smile and ordered the government soldiers to move away from the intersection, so that Zhao Chen and the accompanying guards could step on the road. The land of Upper Fanyang County.

At this time, Zhao Chenzao had not set foot on Fanyang County for the first time, and was excited and triumphant in charge of the 20,000 navy. In his stomach, he did not expect Wang Junlin to be so domineering and powerful, and almost robbed Wang Junlin of all the money used to subdue the officers and soldiers of the navy.

"It's too late for General Zhao Lang to go to the Naval Camp in Rongcheng County tonight. The conditions in the county are poor, so naturally there is no way to prepare a special camp for General Zhao Lang. The official sent someone to prepare a monastery. The other courtyard is quite quiet, without being disturbed by the little ones, I originally planned to place General Zhao Lang there, but I didn't expect General Zhao Lang to have a large number of followers, now it seems that the courtyard is a bit small..." Xue Li said depressedly in his heart Wang Junlin casually asked him to arrange the temporary residence for Zhao Chen. He didn't think too much about it at the time, but now that Zhao Chen first arrived, he and Wang Junlin were in a relationship. Obviously it was inappropriate, at least Zhao Chen was unwilling.

"General Xue will arrange the place!" Zhao Chen snorted coldly, but didn't know what to say. Without the arrangement of Fanyang County, he had nothing to do. He tried his best to comfort himself, saying that Wang Junlin and Xue Li's tossing is to give him power, he must calm down, and he must not let Wang Junlin and Xue Li's tricks Succeed...

The captains of the Navy also came to welcome Zhao Chen, led by the new captain of Guoyi, Huang Shaoqiu. At this time, Huang Shaoqiu said to Zhao Chen in a timely manner: "General, I have a private garden outside the county. The small one is a bit smaller, barely able to accommodate one or two hundred people. If the general doesn’t mind it, he can stay there temporarily tonight, and the humble post can immediately transfer nearly a hundred servants to take care of the general’s daily life..."

"Then trouble General Huang..." Zhao Chen's face softened a little, thinking that his subordinates should treat him better.

Xue Li groaned inwardly, thinking that Zhao Chen probably mistakenly thought that he deliberately arranged him in the county to make things difficult for him. Looking at his eyes, he must think that he and Wang Junlin were in the same group. The news spread to Yuwen I have brought a lot of trouble to myself for no reason.

Wang Junlin saw Huang Shaoqiu and Zhao Chen's closeness, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, making Huang Shaoqiu Zhao Chen's confidant, this is a very important move.

Wang Junlin ignored Zhao Chen any more, and smiled at Pei Yanmao, "Uncle Pei has had a hard journey, I think General Zhao Lang doesn't need this junior to take care of him. The junior has booze in the county mansion, so I will reward Uncle Pei... "Du Ruhui, Zhao Zhanpeng, Cui Shijie and others also saluted Pei Yanmao.

When Pei Yanmao heard Wang Junlin call him Uncle, don't mention the comfort in his heart, he is just an ordinary servant in the Ministry of Rites, two levels lower than Zhao Chen's former servant in the Ministry of War. His eyes were all on his forehead, and he never paid attention to ordinary servants like Pei Yanmao. Unexpectedly, Wang Junlin's courtesy to the two of them today was exactly the opposite, which made Pei Yanmao extremely satisfied.

Before coming, Suzerain Pei Shiju specifically explained to Pei Yanmao that he secretly observed Wang Junlin's situation in Fanyang County. If Wang Junlin's power had been established, the Pei family would consider formally forming an alliance with Wang Junlin. At this time, Pei Yanmao saw Wang Junlin giving Zhao Chen a disgrace so unceremoniously. Pei Yanmao knew that Wang Junlin was already powerful, and he might not be weaker than any powerful family. Zhao Chen thought that he could suppress Wang Junlin by coming here. I think too highly of myself, even if Yu Wenshu's relatives come, I'm afraid they will be disgraced.

Pei Yanmao wants to go to Xinluo Kingdom via Fanyang County. Yang Guang always returns gifts to the subordinate countries generously. Every time Xinluo Kingdom sends to see Yang Guang, it is a prince, and the wording of the report is the most respectful and great. It satisfies Yang Guang's vanity, so Yang Guang's return gift is very heavy. Pei Yanmao and his party's goods and entourage are not rare.

At this time, it was late April, and the sea monsoon began to prevail. The monsoon in Bohai Bay was good for traveling northward, and it took two days to go to Silla by boat. However, the ships used need to be dispatched by the Navy of Fanyang County, which is why Pei Yanmao came with Zhao Chen.
