Just for Yunwu, ten thousand people were recruited... Coupled with people's panic, many people fled their homes. Now Yunwu is afraid that there are less than 30,000 people. How can anyone be in the mood to sell? Coupled with the military operations, the city's supplies have also been destroyed.

There is a shortage... there is no one or anything, so what's the use of opening the door? It's better to stay at home for safety."

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the guard in front of him.

He looks young, maybe fourteen or fifteen years old, but his movements are full of spirituality.

"May I have your name?"

"The villain's surname is Hu, and the single word is consistent."

"Hu Zun?"

A smile appeared on Ma Chao's face, "Looking at the accent, I'm not from Jincheng."

"The villain is from Linjing, Anding. He came to Jincheng with his father in his early years. My father has passed away now. When the city was recruiting, the villain joined the army."

"Hu Zun, are you willing to follow me?"

"ah?"

"I mean, to be my personal soldier... If you are willing, you can go home to prepare and report to the mansion in the evening."

Hu Zun’s eyes lit up!

He is just a commoner with no background.

If you can follow Ma Chao, it would be a good way out.

"The villain is willing."

"Haha, just do it if you want."

For some reason, when Ma Chao saw Hu Zun, he thought of Hu Bai.

When he first met Hu Bai, Hu Bai was just a teacher and was very poor. However, he had a kind of spirituality that was very similar to what Hu Zun looked like at that time. Ma Chao decided to take Hu Zun away, and in the future

It was impossible to say that he would become his right-hand man. Hu Zun seemed to be very excited about this, and he kept laughing along the way...

Outside the county, Ma Chao dismounted.

He threw the reins to Hu Zun casually, "Keep an eye on it for me!"

"General, don't worry, the villain will never make any mistakes."

Ma Chao nodded with a smile and walked up the steps of the county mansion.

"Eldest Young Master, why are you back?"

"If I don't come back, the eight thousand elite soldiers in Zhangye will starve to death... Mr. Fei is here, please report as soon as possible."

"Please wait a moment, Sir."

The doorman went to report it, and someone led Ma Chao to the hall to wait.

Fevo paid for the renovation of this county house. Fevo lived here on weekdays and was responsible for handling some important official documents.

Ma Teng also acquiesced to Feiwo's actions, and was even more respectful to him on weekdays.

No wonder, without Feiwo, it would be difficult for Ma Teng to do things in Jincheng County. After all, he took Jincheng County from Han Sui. And the reason why he was able to capture Jincheng County was because of Feiwo

deal with……

Ma Chao sat in the lobby for a while, which was time for a cup of tea.

I saw Feiwo coming in from outside, but his face seemed a little strange.

"My eldest son, if you are not on the front line, why are you here in person?"

Ma Chao said with a gloomy face, "If I don't come back, I'm afraid my messengers won't be able to see Master Fei... Master Fei, let's get straight to the point and don't beat around the bush. Master Fei, you must know the purpose of my coming back this time."

You know. I want food and grass! At least 10,000 shi... Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to support me in Zhangye County. You also know that my father is fighting in Longxi, and we must guard against military power. That Cao Peng is eyeing the tiger and will attack at any time."

"Ten thousand stones?"

Feivo suddenly showed a bitter smile, "Young Master, you might as well kill me."

"Master Fei, what do you mean?"

"Young Master, do you know how many soldiers and horses your lord has invested in Longxi County?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hands without waiting for Ma Chao's answer, "Eighty thousand, a total of 80,000 troops. Although my lord has captured a lot,

The county seat, but except for Didao and Lintao, the treasury of the other five counties is almost empty... I can't help but bear the food and wages of the 80,000-strong army, and I also have to worry about the food and clothing of the nearly 100,000 people in the five counties. A few days ago

, the lord sent someone to urge him again, and asked for thirty thousand stones.

But do you know how much Jincheng’s income will be this autumn?

The total amount is only 200,000 dendrobium... This does not include the support for the two Qiang people in Huangzhong, and the Yunwu Treasury is now almost at its bottom!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his expression changed drastically.

He could guess that Jincheng County was under great pressure, but he did not expect that it would be in such embarrassment.

Looking at Feiwo's much thinner face, Ma Chao's anger seemed to have suddenly become much smaller.

"But Ling Ju..."

"Lingju's side is now sending out orders every ten days.

Cheng Yin sent someone to complain to me earlier, saying that there was not enough food and grass. But what can I do? I can't deduct the lord's food and grass. Young Master, I know you are dissatisfied with me, but now we all serve the lord.

I can clearly distinguish the seriousness of this matter. Let me think of a way to see if I can transfer some from other places.

Five days... no, give me three days, I will definitely try to collect three thousand stones of food and grass and send them to Zhangye County, what do you think?"

"Three thousand stones?"

Ma Chao thought for a while, stretched out his hand and said, "Five thousand stones, no more."

"This...I'll try my best!"

Ma Chao left with satisfaction, and the bitter look on Feiwo's face disappeared immediately.

At this time, a young man walked out of the back hall and stopped next to Fei Wo, "Master Fei, five thousand today, ten thousand tomorrow. With a small golden city and a hundred thousand soldiers, you will be able to reach the sky."

, how long can it last? Besides... Haha, Ma Chao is asking for help from you today, so he looks nice. But if he gains power in the future, how will you deal with yourself? "
