Jinghong Tower

Chapter 269 Conditions
Ma Guang continued to scratch his head: "How about we follow He Ran and change our surname to He?
Anyway, I am an orphan, and I don’t know what my last name is. I was picked up by my adoptive father outside the stable, so I have the last name Ma.

In fact, the name He Guang suits me quite well. "

Feng Zan: I don’t want to see you today!

A few days later, Feng Zan's injury was no longer serious, but his broken ribs had not fully grown back, and he could not do strenuous exercise.

But at least it no longer needs to be wrapped like a big rice dumpling.

Feng Zan didn't ask anyone to invite Nie Chen. Anyway, Nie Chen would come when it was time to eat.

Sure enough, when it was time to eat, Nie Chen came in with his two nests. As soon as he came in, he sniffed like a dog, but he didn't smell the aroma of egg custard, but he saw the same thing as himself in front of Feng Zan. Wowotou.

Nie Chen sighed: "General Feng is so simple."

Feng Zan cursed in his heart, "Simple is a piece of shit. I obviously have no money. The eggs I eat these days are all bought with great difficulty."

Nie Chen smiled and said, "Nie found a way to make money for General Feng. General Feng, would you like to hear Nie's detailed explanation?"

Feng Zan thought to himself, what is the way to make money? Isn't it just to make me defect to He Ran?
He suppressed his temper and said coldly: "If you want to say it, just say it and stop trying to hide it."

Nie Chen smiled: "General Feng, when Nie was in Cangzhou, he heard that there was a group of refugees in Yanshan who robbed many local big households. Those big households pooled their money and wanted to recruit local braves, but you also know that these local braves are not said to be able to It can be formed as soon as it is formed, and maybe those refugees will come back before the people are formed.”

Feng Zan's brows furrowed into a frown: "You want us to fight the refugee army? Where did the refugees in Yanshan come from? They are clearly local youth gangs who ganged up to rob big households. Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by the local government itself?" If I go over there and can't even see the thieves, I'll have to start a fight with the local garrison. How can I make any money?"

Nie Chen was calm and not anxious at all: "No, no, there is no garrison in the local area, there are only yamen servants in the yamen. Will General Feng be afraid of a county yamen that does not even have a hundred people?"

As long as General Feng unites with the local big families to protect their vast wealth, they will definitely support General Feng. "

Feng Zan's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something: "What's the difference between this and those beggars' powerful troops?"

Nie Chen continued: "The difference is that the Huwei Army fights alone, but General Feng does not."

Feng Zan endured the dull pain in his ribs and turned half of his body to glare at Nie Chen: "What do you mean?"

Nie Chen smiled: "Master He will be General Feng's strong backing."

Feng Zan's heart trembled. This wasn't even recruiting him. Did He Ran want to support him?
Why not be afraid that he will become a king when he becomes more mature?

The surroundings suddenly became silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

After a while, Feng Zan asked: "Feng and Master He are strangers to each other. Can Master He trust Feng?"

Nie Chen said: "The Headmaster has never met General Feng, nor has he fought against General Feng. Therefore, the Headmaster feels that both the Headmaster and General Feng, and General Feng and the Headmaster, need a period of getting used to each other. "

Feng Zan was startled: "Grinding, running-in period?"

What's this? This was the first time he heard this word, but he already understood it in his heart. It was the process of understanding each other and adapting to each other.

Nie Chen continued: "Yes, the running-in period is the meaning of the boss. It is a two-way choice whether to recruit or not. General Feng might as well give it a try first. If after trying, General Feng still wants to stand on his own, he can follow the example of the Wu family. With the Huwei Army and the alliance with the big boss, there is no need for Nie to elaborate on General Feng. "

Feng Zan's heart was agitated. How could he still be like this?

As long as he doesn't go to Jin, once he wants to stand on his own, he can really come and go as he pleases. Even if he wants to hit him, he will be out of reach.

As for alliance, Feng Zan does not agree. In such troubled times, if you cannot be the host and guest, then you will be enemies sooner or later. Whether you form an alliance or not, it is all in vain. There are no permanent allies in this world. However, the Huwei Army actually formed an alliance with He Ran, which he did not expect.

Although the Huwei Army was formed by beggars, they had a large number of people and were not just ordinary people. Unexpectedly, they also formed an alliance with He Ran.

Feng Zan thought for a moment and then asked: "Why does the master want Salt Mountain?"

Nie Chen shook his head: "Master He wants the two states and sixteen counties of Hejian Prefecture."

Feng Zan gritted his teeth: "Then Feng?"

Before Feng Zan could finish speaking, Nie Chen reached into his arms and took out a bag made of sheepskin.

He took out a letter from the bag and held it in front of Feng Zan with both hands: "General Feng, this is a letter written by Master He. General Feng please read it personally."

The corner of Feng Zan's mouth twitched. It turned out that this old boy also brought a handwritten letter from He Ran.

With such an important thing on your body, how can you bear to wait until now to take it out?

Feng Zan took the letter, opened it and read it carefully.

He Ran's handwriting was made of iron and silver hooks, which penetrated the back of the paper. Feng Zan didn't read much, but he also knew how to write like a person. A woman who could write such a single stroke showed her tenacity.

This is not so much a letter as a letter of appointment.

He Ran ordered Feng Zan to temporarily lead the army in Hejian and act as the prefect of Hejian for half a year.

Feng Zan's mouth twitched again. Half a year? Is this the adjustment period Nie Chen mentioned?
Not only was it a running-in period, it was also a deadline given to him by He Ran.

Within half a year, he will conquer the two states and sixteen counties of Hejian Prefecture!
After being laid down, if the relationship goes well, this temporary position will become a real job.

Feng Zan folded the letter paper and put it back into the envelope. He looked at Nie Chen with piercing eyes: "You also saw it, the person in my hand chews on the dough every day."

Nie Chen: "After General Feng changes his banner, the Dadang Army will immediately send people to send food, grass and military pay."

Feng Zan swallowed, military pay, he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had paid military pay to the people below.

They almost couldn't even eat the cornbread.

Although they fought several tough battles, those people were poorer than him. At most, they only robbed some grain, but it was still wheat bran.

"Our armors are all worn out," Feng Zan said.

Nie Chen: "We have iron mines in Jin and our own arsenal. Armor and weapons will be delivered as soon as possible."

Feng Zan thought for a while and continued to make conditions: "There are also medical workers and medicines. The army is in urgent need of medical workers."

When he was injured, he called for doctors from the county, but they refused to come even after they said anything. They were the ones who took him here by force. The second time they went to arrest him, they found that the whole family had run away, and they didn’t know where they went. .

Nie Chen: "Okay, I will write to the boss and ask him to send medical workers."

Nie Chen continued: "I wonder if General Feng has any other requests?"

Feng Zan opened his mouth, but he suddenly didn't know what conditions he could raise.
