When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 126 Zhang Fei, what do you mean I became the chief general?

"!"

"what?"

Gai Xun was struck by lightning after hearing Zhang Fei's words. He stared at Zhang Fei in disbelief, "Captain Zhang, are you serious? Wang Guo and Song Jian's goal is Ji County?!"

"Of course!"

At this time, Zhang Fei also restrained his smile, thinking that Wang Guo, Song Jian and others had a "grudge" against Zuo Chang. These two people have always been revengeful. Zuo Chang was the "mastermind" who almost killed them. How could they swallow this bitter breath?

He held Gai Xun and told him what Jia Xu had said. "The Qiang and Hu have been rebellious for a long time. Now is the critical time for autumn harvest, and it is also the time when the Qiang and Hu rebel most frequently. Although Wang Guo and Song Jian are the largest Qiang and Hu, there are more Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou than just them. They just suffered a defeat in Jincheng and are afraid of Lord Liu. The most likely possibility is to go north and gather the Qiang and Hu scattered in other counties. If they capture the city during this period, they can earn enough reputation to attract Qiang and Hu to surrender, and they can also rely on the city to deal with us. In this way, the harm caused by Qiang and Hu will change from a minor problem to a hindrance."

Even without Zhang Fei finishing his words, Gai Xun could already foresee the seriousness of the consequences. If the city was really captured by the Qiang and Hu people, it would be the capital of Liangzhou, Ji County.
By then, Liangzhou will surely be in chaos!

Thinking of this, Gai Xun was so frightened that cold sweat oozed from his forehead and his breathing became rapid. He looked at Zhang Fei and pleaded, "Captain Zhang, please save Liangzhou!"

As soon as he said this, Gai Xun felt a little regretful. He was not a fool. He found out from Zhang Fei's words the reason why the hundred cavalrymen retreated the enemy. It was all because of the reputation of the prestigeous governor Liu Xuande. If the fear of the Qiang and Hu people subsided, could Captain Zhang's hundreds of men still scare off the Qiang and Hu people?
Gai Xun gritted his teeth and made a decision immediately, "Captain Zhang, I still have thousands of soldiers under my command! I will lend them all to you. Please save Liangzhou!"

"what?!"

Not to mention Zhang Fei, even Taishi Ci was stunned. They originally thought that they were going to follow Gai Xun to the battle, but how come Gai Xun suddenly lent them soldiers? He went from being a guest general to being the main commander! Was this all within Jia Wenhe's prediction? !

"Alas." Seeing that Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci did not express their opinions, Gai Xun thought that they were unwilling to agree. He sighed and said, "Are you dissatisfied with the small number of soldiers? I'll trouble you two to help me defend Ayang County. I..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Fei said hurriedly, "Gai Taishou, I just didn't come to my senses for a moment. We are all officials, how can we sit by and watch the people suffer from cholera from the Qiang people? Even if you don't lend us troops, we will go and destroy the bandits!"

A trace of emotion appeared on Gai Xun's wrinkled face. He could see that Zhang Fei was not lying. What surprised him even more was that neither Zhang Fei, Taishi Ci, nor even the guards around them, showed any signs of surprise. It was as if it was just a normal thing like eating and sleeping. Was this really an official from Liangzhou?
His voice couldn't help but dry, "Thank you."

“Hahaha, we are the ones who should be thanking you!” Zhang Fei said with a smile, “Lord Gai, please take me to see the soldiers!”

"Okay. Commander Zhang, please follow me, Chief Historian."

Several people came to the parade ground and looked at the soldiers below the stage. The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched. Are these really soldiers that can fight?
Looking around, the soldiers were pale and thin, with prominent cheekbones and emaciated bodies, as if they would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. Every five of them had only one tattered piece of leather armor.
Send these soldiers to the battlefield
What's the difference between dying and dying?
Gai Xun lowered his head in shame and said, "Captain Zhang, these are all the troops and weapons I can bring out. I have to leave some people to defend the city. I am really sorry to have embarrassed you."

"call"

Zhang Fei exhaled a breath of foul air, "No problem, no problem. I'll take care of the food and armor."

"Solve it?" Taishi Ci leaned close to Zhang Fei's ear and asked, "Third brother, do you mean to ask the Lord for help?"

"Of course," Zhang Fei responded in a low voice, "Ziyi, you may not know this yet, but our iron forging technology has reached a new level. Not to mention leather armor, even iron armor is not a problem!"

"? Third brother, how did you know?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Just when Gai Xun wanted to say something, a 'grunt' startled everyone present.

Zhang Fei touched his head and said, "My stomach is growling!"

"Someone come!" Gai Xun shouted to his guards, "Hurry up and prepare food!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Gai, wait a minute! What time is it now?"

"?"

This question puzzled Gai Xun, but he still replied, "It's almost noon. Why did Captain Zhang ask about the time?"

"Lord Gai, you don't know." Taishi Ci said, "When we go out to fight, we have to eat at noon."

"Lunch. Meal?" Gai Xun was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a meal. Where did Liu Xuande get so much money and food? Did he have too much money and had nowhere to spend it?

"Lord Gai, would you like to let the soldiers have a taste as well?"

Zhang Fei extended an invitation to Gai Xun.

"Captain Zhang, you took the trouble to come here, but we are going to waste your food. This is not something a gentleman would do."

After hearing Gai Xun's answer, Zhang Fei laughed out loud, "No problem, Lord Gai, you only need to provide some corn and cook it, and I will let all the soldiers have a full meal!"

What do you mean?
Even though he was confused, Gai Xun still asked, "How much do you need?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Twenty stones"

"Twenty stones?"

As a county governor, Gai Xun was well aware of the daily food consumption of soldiers. One stone of millet was only enough for 40 soldiers to eat for one meal, so how could 20 stones be enough to feed thousands of soldiers?
Full of doubts, Gai Xun looked up and saw Zhang Fei's solemn promise, so he didn't ask any more questions and turned around to prepare corn.

Taishi Ci asked curiously, "Third brother, how did you calculate it so clearly?"

"Ziyi, you have been here for too short a time. Even though there are not many people in the army who can calculate as fast as me, everyone knows how to do it. I will teach you in person after this is over!"

"Thank you, Third Brother."

Zhang Fei and Taishi Ci also took action. Together with more than 400 riders, they took down the glass jars on the horses' backs. The jars were full of pork meat with leeks. There wasn't much meat, but it was heavy on the oil.

Pour the dishes in the jars into a large earthenware pot and light it on fire. The enticing aroma will waft over ten miles away. When the soldiers in Ayang County smell the aroma, tears flow from their mouths and their stomachs growl.

After obtaining Gai Xun's consent, Zhang Fei took the spoon and began to distribute food to the soldiers in Ayang County with his comrades.

The soldiers of Ayang County chattered
"Why is there only this little? Wait, this is—meat!"

"Not only meat, but also lots of oil and water!"

“It smells really good!”

The soldiers ate with relish, even Gai Xun enjoyed his meal. He finally understood why they asked for so little food. There was enough oil and water, but such a huge amount of oil and water was much more difficult to get than food!

Gai Xun couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zhang, how did you do it?"

"Of course it's all thanks to Lord Liu!" Zhang Fei added, "Of course I also contributed a lot!"

"Lord Liu"

Gai Xun kept repeating these three words in his mouth. He was becoming more and more curious about this person. He was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to get so much money.

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he took the opportunity to say, "Lord Gai, when you have time in the future, would you like to come to Jincheng County to take a look?"

"Okay." Gai Xun stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhang Fei was overjoyed, "Lord Gai, when the time comes to quell the rebellion, we will invite you. Please don't refuse!"

"Of course not, a gentleman's word is his own"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"
