Wu Lun was also curious about what kind of appearance Zhang Fang looked like, which made Emperor Cheng of Han, who already possessed Empress Xu, Ban Jieyu, Zhao Feiyan, and Zhao Hede, also fascinated.

It’s a pity that Zhang Chun is already old in his forties, but he can see some appearances of men and women from his son Zhang Fen. However, in terms of handsomeness, he is still not as good as Ma Wenyuan.

After entering Zhang's house, the Tewu County Prison was also there. It seemed to be a tripartite talks, but in fact the county Prison was just a puppet of the Zhang family.

There were not many places worth mentioning during the meal. The banquets of Zhang Chun’s family were simple and low-key, not as luxurious as the Qiongcheng Hou Mansion where the fifth reunion had been. There were few female musicians. They were simple everywhere, but the etiquette was very regular. This may be the difference between a century-old gentry and a nouveau riche.

The theme of today's party is of course about the "bandits" in Hengxing County.

"When I was in Guanzhong, I had never seen such a vicious thief."

After halfway through the banquet, Wu Lun stood up and said, "They openly killed the head of the army Sima, threatened to do the way for heaven, and burned Dai Junhou under my command to death. The heaven was pitiful to see that Dai Junhou was the elder who was innocent of this! "

"Now not only are the military rations attacked, but the people are also disturbed by bandits. A gentleman from Wu's family in Nanxiang got married and was happily beating and beating. He was even kidnapped and kept his trust in extortion of money and food. He asked me to tell me that this ransom cannot be given!"

The fifth reunion was very tough: "If this bad point is opened, bandits will become more rampant. At that time, from military officials to common people, they will be plundered and exploited."

"The Master said, it is tolerant, but who is tolerant, so the bandits must be suppressed!"

This statement was approved by the county magistrate, and Zhang Fen also praised it as a pleasure. This was exactly what the wealthy families in the county expected, but Zhang Chun stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything.

The fifth reunion changed his voice and talked about his real purpose: "But resisting bandits requires training, otherwise he will only collapse like his subordinates."

"You all know that our pig Tuofeng Yong has been hungry for a long time. If you need training, you will consume more food every day. And all the food and fodder you received has been sent to the camp, and only the armored soldiers are sent, and no money and food will be allocated."

The county priest understood: "What does military Sima mean to seek food again?"

Fifth Lun shook his head: "Now that the young and old people are not in contact, the common people can no longer fight. I heard that since he killed your minister, dozens or hundreds of poor people have gone south to join the bandits within one month. If more common people cannot take advantage of the robbers and flee, it will only make the bandits stronger."

He looked at Zhang Chun and his son and smiled and said, "Since the rich family proposed to suppress the thieves, it would be better to have the right person in the county come to collect grain. What if?"

Zhang Fen nodded: "I dare to ask Sima, how much do I need to collect?"

Wu Lunsin said: "There are 2,000 people in our army..." After his men were reorganized and streamlined, there were actually only less than 1,200 people. This is a pride of salary!

"It takes at least three months to train troops, and at the same time, we must also help prevent and drive away the bandits."

The fifth 6: "A total of six thousand stones of food is needed!"

This number can allow the fifth reunion to complete the grain payment this year and earn 2,000 stones as the next start-up capital.

For Zhang family and the wealthy families in the county, this is just a drop in the bucket. If their family members are plundered by bandits, they will only be more extorted.

Of course, if the other party bargained for 5,000 yuan, the fifth relationship could be accepted. The next thing to be arguing about is the share that each company wants to pay.

"This is a great good word." Unexpectedly, Zhang Chun, who had not spoken a word throughout the whole process, laughed.

"These six thousand stones of grain are all produced by me, Zhang!"

...

Everyone was shocked. The fifth rein originally wanted to bargain with Zhang Chun and told him that the Zhang family would only keep up with the four major families in the county. Unexpectedly, it was so happy!

He only thought this scene looked familiar. Isn’t it just a replica of his tax payments for the villagers in Linqu Township? Could it be that Zhang Chun also had great ambitions? After all, Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, and the interests of the Zhang family were greatly damaged.

Zhang Chun asked his son to entertain the Puppet County Prison. He led the fifth reunion to visit the dockyard and said as he walked: "Boyu Sima has doubts. Do you think I was deliberately taking the lead in bleeding, trying to attract wealthy families and common people to donate grain, and then Zhang will share the spoils with you?"

Not?

Zhang Chun shook his head and said, "I'm not hiding Boyu. I had this idea before my death. When he heard that there were thieves in the south of the county, he was happy without worrying and came to discuss the matter with me. After he agreed to cheat the whole county donated grain, he would share the share with me. Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of the thief in a blink of an eye, and he deserved it."

"But Zhang Chun was sincere to Boyu Sima. Not only did I provide food, I also provided people!"

The fifth reunion became even more confused, but when Zhang Chun slammed his high fives, he immediately came over with two chariots.

"My family is big and it takes half an hour to walk around. It's better to take this item to travel."

Wu Lun sat on the chariot and followed Zhang Chun through the middle courtyard. He didn't know how many portals he passed, but saw that there were guardians holding weapons on each door. They finally left the fort and came to the open area.

This is a schoolyard with fine sand covering the floor and many targets of arrows. Ding Zhuang, who was raised by Zhang's family, was shooting arrows.

I am ashamed that in terms of the number and accuracy of the archers, they are much stronger than Zhu Tufeng Yong under the fifth reign.

There were even a cavalryman riding his horse and setting off his bow in the distance. Zhang Chun pointed at them and said, "I would like to send out two hundred soldiers and fifty cavalry teams."

This is probably half the combat power of the Zhang Chun family. He said: "The other wealthy families do not need to donate food. They just need to send their own food and bring their own food. They can also raise six or seven hundred people."

Zhang Chun looked at the fifth reunion: "In addition to Boyu Sima's two thousand soldiers and three thousand tigers, why are you afraid of the little bandits?"

"I am willing to do so much, only one request."

The fifth reunion is increasingly afraid to underestimate this person, and bows, "Please tell me, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Chun lowered his face: "Suppressing bandits should be fast, and you cannot delay it until three months later. Within this month, you should do your best to clear it up in one fell swoop so that there will be no troubles left afterwards!"

The fifth reunion pondered: "If the speed of the troops is not enough, why is Mr. Zhang anxious?"

Zhang Chun did not answer directly, but gave in to the chariot to continue moving, and took the fifth reunion to the pasture a mile outside Zhangjiawu Fort.

This is the grassland on the east bank of the river. The black and white wool sheep on the body were pressed to the ground by the slave. Their four hooves were tied tightly and they were so scared that they bleated.

However, the one who greeted the sheep was not a sharp copper knife, but a wool comb made of bone, which hugged the long hairs that were about to fall off on the sheep one by one and placed them in the leather pocket. The bare sheep were driven back into the circle, and several of them were picked and pulled directly to the river to slaughter as their owner's banquet tomorrow.

Zhang Chun asked, "What did Boyu Sima see?"

The fifth reunion narrowed his eyes: "Sheep, and herdsmen."

Zhang Chundao: "That's right, it's the herdsman."

"In ancient times, there were wise ministers in the east who managed Yiwu and called the herdsman art of governing the people. The kings and officials were like sheepmen, and the people were sheep. Therefore, the previous dynasty and the previous dynasty also had the position of state governor."

Zhang Chun's next words will make the fifth reunion unforgettable for a long time.

"The government and the powerful are like herders and butchers. They are the owners of the flock, but they also rely on the flock to live. As long as they are not stupid, they know that the wool must be fetched every season. When they want to eat meat, they must also be carried and killed. If they don't care about it and slaughter all the sheep in the circle, they will be full this year, but the food and clothing will be gone next year."

"The bandits don't care about these things. Anyway, they are not their own things. If they grab them, they will be considered a big profit. They focus on fat sheep and eat the skin and bones into their stomachs. But there are few people in that group, and at most a few sheep will be taken away at a time."

"Since the north and south started again, the Huns frequently entered the barriers and came and went like the wind. Not only did they want to steal sheep, but even the shepherds wanted to abduct them as slaves."

Zhang Chun sighed when he said this: "But the one who is more hateful than the bandits and the Huns is the king's army!"

"Boyu Sima should be clear that most of the government troops are not ruthless and greedy, and always like to take sheep and people without spitting bones. Compared with the bandits and barbarians who come and go, the government troops can always be stationed in one place, where the troops are located, and their thorns are born, and what they pass by is like a comb. What is most feared is that the bow and knife used to deal with the bandits and barbarians is useless to them, because the court and the law protect them."

"So for the flock of sheep, the powerful, bandits, the Huns, and the king's army, the powerful are the least harmful, and the king's army's official army has the greatest harm."

Wu Lun smiled and said, "Your words from Zhang cannot be spread."

Zhang Chun was not afraid: "Everyone knew the truth, even the new generals knew it."

He looked at the fifth reunion: "So, it is rare to meet a military officer like Bo Yu and Sima who cares about the people and can be reasonable."

"I know that Boyu Sima's actions in the north of the county are enough to make the soldiers live, and they will stop working for the soldiers. In order not to let the people in the south of the county be exploited again, donating grain is only the idea of ​​our powerful people, and they are not greedy for too much, and they can stop at the right time." "Compared to your ignorant minister, I hope that Boyu Sima can take charge of the defense of the whole county and stay in the long term."

"For this reason, we must quickly eliminate the bandits!"

The fifth eunuch said: "I still don't understand the relationship between the two."

Zhang Chun smiled and said, "The world is full of war. I want me to say that the reason why the Haidai and Jingzhou bandits were unable to be pacified is because there are many officials who do not have the courage to suppress the bandits, but they are very brave enough to accumulate wealth and food in the name of suppressing the bandits!"

"The premise of doing this is that no one is involved."

Is this a hint that I am raising a bandit and respecting myself?

Zhang Chun continued: "However, it's different now. Sima reported that he was a small thief, but General Hu couldn't help but think that he was a big thief. Otherwise, how could he openly hijack the army's food?"

"If you think deeper, when the army is about to go out of the frontier, such a major event happens in the rear, will it be that the Qiang and Hu, the vassal state, want to respond to the Huns, harass and burn grain, and attack the new army from both sides?"

Wu Lun knew it and touched his chin and said, "Mr. Zhang means that once he thinks this way, General Tenghu will be worried. If he is on his back, he will definitely send his soldiers to the south to suppress the bandits!"

Zhang Chundao: "However, at that time, this Tewu County will not be the fifth Sima, but I know the virtues of the rest of the people. I will happily station them and slaughter the sheep in Tewu County. The people will suffer from disasters and will also harm the powerful. At that time, the losses will be more than 6,000 stones."

"If things come to that point, I will not be able to make any profit for me and the fifth Sima?"

Wu Lun nodded and bowed to Zhang Chun: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang for your advice, I can save you the fifth Lun."

On the way back, the fifth reunion was cold and he was really wandering again in the past two days. He was very proud of the magic trick of killing Ruchen, but ignored such an important thing. Zhang Chun also reminded him, it was really stupid.

"I'm really careless, claiming to be smart and treating local tyrants as big fools. This kind of idea is unsatisfactory."

This Zhang Chun side showed his strength, and at the same time he touched the fifth relationship. His little Jiujiu himself knew it, and then explained the common pros and cons and was willing to cooperate.

Renjie, this guy is indeed Renjie.

It seems that we have to communicate with Ma Yuan and the others to have a successful bandit suppression and the other people will escape far away.

After thinking about the fifth relationship clearly, if you deal with Zhang Chun's family, will the fight between martial arts and martial arts be no longer possible, or change to a literary fight? At the same time, you must remember to clearly: plundering food is not his ultimate goal in Tewu.

But this awakening was still a little late. When I returned to the camp, I happened to receive a letter sent by Liang Qiuci.

Xuan Biao and others were curious about what was written in it, but after reading the fifth reunion, he was both happy and sad.

"General Swallowing Hu sent troops to Sima Dong Xi to lead more than a thousand soldiers to go south to suppress bandits, and our troops will listen to their orders!"

...

At the same time, Ma Yuan and Wan Xiu were located in Baitugang on the Kushui River, and a guest from Sanshui County, a vassal state of the southern state of Anding.

The visitor claimed to be a powerful man in Sanshui, the famous brother of the "Liu Wenbo", and Liu Cheng was actually called Lu Cheng.

When the Wu Lun and others passed by Sanshui, the three Lu brothers looked out from the earthen plateau. Now they heard about the "bandits" in the south of Tewu County attacking the official army. They were overjoyed. Lu Fang sent his younger brother to set up the line.

Lu Cheng glanced at the platter house where Ma Yuan and Wan Xiu were, and felt that it was extremely simple and did not talk nonsense. He introduced himself first.
