Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lei didn't give in at all, with a calm expression on his face, he said in a calm voice: "Shuai Zhang is a figure who commands thousands of troops. Doesn't he even have basic wisdom about whether to attack Xinshi County and Wuji County?"

Zhang Yan's face became even uglier, this kid...

Arrogant!

It's really too arrogant to scold him like this!

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Yan absolutely slashed the kid in front of him, but it involved the life and death of the Black Mountain Army, so he had to suppress the killing intent in his heart and think carefully.Wang Lei saw Zhang Yan's expression in his eyes and smiled in his heart. If Zhang Yan treated him calmly, it would be inconvenient for him to operate, but if Zhang Yan got angry, it would be more beneficial to him.

Zhang Yan didn't know what was going on in Wang Lei's mind, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted in a deep voice, "Magistrate Wang doesn't agree with what I said, it seems that he has other suggestions. If so, I want to hear the opinion of County Magistrate Wang."

"Please!"

Zhang Yan waved her hands, pretending to be listening attentively.

Wang Lei smiled lightly and said, "Actually, this is a very simple matter. Although Zhang Shuai was named a general in peace by the court, he is actually worried about Zhang Shuai. If Zhang Shuai continues to gather in the mountains and forests, the court can open his eyes." Turning a blind eye, after all, it is difficult to destroy. But Zhang Shuai wants to occupy land as king, control several counties or even counties, and come to a country within a country, so whether it is the local tyrants in Jizhou or the state shepherds in Jizhou , Even the imperial court will call on the kings of the world to destroy Zhang Shuai's army."

"This is a bottom line, a bottom line that cannot be touched."

Wang Lei said in a serious voice, "If the Black Mountain Army really occupies Xinshi County and Wuji County, within half a month, all the troops in Jizhou will gather here to encircle and suppress the Black Mountain Army. So the situation that fits the Black Mountain Army is looting, When the foundation of Jizhou is not threatened, Han Fu can turn a blind eye to Zhang Shuai."

Zhang Yan fell silent again after hearing this.

As Wang Lei said, what he can maintain now is a delicate balance.The Black Mountain Army was fed by looting, but it did not threaten the foundation of Zhang Yan and the court. This is the most helpless status quo of the Black Mountain Army.

Wang Lei chuckled lightly, and said lightly, "It's the best result for me to cooperate with Zhang Shuai."

Zhang Yan pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I will consider the plan you proposed, and I will reply immediately when I have a decision. The purpose of coming today has been achieved. Since Master Du is unwilling to become an official, Zhang Yan will leave!"

"No delivery!"

Wang Lei waved his hand and watched Zhang Yan and Bai Rao leave.

After the two of them left the room, Wang Lei stood up and said, "Master, rest early, I'm going back."

"Wait a minute!"

The old man waved his hand and signaled Wang Lei to sit down.

Wang Lei sat down and said, "Old man, is there anything else you can do?"

The old man sighed for a long time, but his expression was no longer as calm as before, and he said a little nervously: "This old man is about the Taiping Army, after all, I couldn't cover it up. After you know, do you have any thoughts?"

Wang Lei frowned, noticing the change in the old man's mind.

It seemed that he was afraid that he would look down on him!

These days, the Taiping Army are thieves, and if they follow the thieves for a day, they will be branded on their bodies.

It's not unusual for the old man to have such an idea.

Wang Lei looked sincere and replied seriously: "What does it matter to me that the old man was once a Taiping army? This is already a thing of the past, and it has already gone with the wind. In my eyes, the old man is always my elder. For the kindness of teaching, without the old man’s kindness to take him in, there would be no Wang Lei now, maybe I would have already become a pile of dead bones.”

The old man laughed, his eyes moist.

He was right!

Wang Lei stepped forward, knelt down in front of the old man, held the old man's withered hand, and said softly: "Old man, with me here, no matter what time it is, I will never leave you. In my eyes, you are my grandfather, and your kindness is no less than the parents who gave birth to me."

"Good, good, good boy."

The old man had a big smile on his face, but the tears couldn't help but flow down.

When people get old, don't they just want to have a happy family?

Wang Lei wiped away the tears from the old man's face, talked with the old man for a while, helped the old man to sleep, and then left the yard and returned to his room to rest.

Zhang Yan and Bai Rao quietly left the county government office and returned to their foothold in the city to rest.

It was already night and the city gate was closed, so it was impossible for them to leave the city.

In the room, the lights are bright.

With deep doubts on Bai Rao's face, he asked, "Marshal, when we were in the county government, Wang Lei asked you to move out the old and weak women and children in the mountains, which is obviously helpful to us, how could you refuse? You know, the reason why we are in a difficult situation is because there are too many old and weak women and children in the mountains, which hinder us, otherwise we would not be what we are now."

Zhang Yan sneered, "Bai Rao, do you really think Wang Lei is kind?"

Bai Rao scratched his head and said: "After all, Wang Lei was trained by Daoist Du, and he is a junior of Daoist. After all, he is also a member of the Taiping Army and has a close relationship with us. It is impossible to do anything to us. No Speaking of Wang Lei's identity, I also agree with Wang Lei's proposal, although this kid is young, he has a set of methods, which is very good."

Zhang Yan shook her head and said: "I didn't refuse at the time, I was indeed a little moved, but I wanted to think carefully before replying. But on the way back, after careful consideration, I felt that this matter was unreliable."

"Why?" Bai Rao asked.

Zhang Yan said: "This is a tactic to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. If it takes a long time, it will not be good for us."

Bai Rao's heart skipped a beat, his face paled in shock.

Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "Think about it carefully. From the current situation, the old and weak women and children in the mountains are a burden, but if you think about it from another angle, they are our foundation! Once the old and weak women and children become The people in Ji County and Xinshi County, then the soldiers in the army will gradually turn to Wang Lei, and at that time, Wang Lei will affect the Black Mountain Army and not benefit us."

"what……"

Bai Rao exclaimed, and his face became even paler.

But the next moment, Bai Rao gradually calmed down again.

He has followed Zhang Yan for many years, and like Yu Du and Sui Gu, he can become a fierce general under Zhang Yan's command not only by relying on brute force, but also by his own wisdom.Bai Rao thought for a moment, and said, "Commander, I think this seems like a strategy to draw salary from the bottom, but Wang Lei dare not do it. I think Wang Lei wants to use us and give us certain benefits."

Speaking of this, Bai Rao continued: "The old and weak in the mountains have become a major problem that hinders us, and we must solve it. Marshal, Rong Mo will say something rebellious. We can't stay in the mountains forever. We have to think about it later." Road. Isn’t what Wang Lei is showing us now an alternate back road? Although it doesn’t have to be with Wang Lei, it’s a choice!”

Zhang Yan's expression changed, and a cold light shone in his eyes.After a long time, Zhang Yan calmed down, waved her hand and said, "Go down, I'll think about it alone."

Bai Rao resigned and left, leaving Zhang Yan alone in the room to think.
