Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 155 Entering the City (2)

Tan Daoji and Xue Tong looked at each other, waved their big hands and said, "Enter the city!" The two rode their horses and led the army, walked across the lowered suspension bridge, and came to the city gate, where a man dressed as a civil servant hurriedly greeted him. .

The man bowed to Tan Daoji and Xue Tong and said, "I have been waiting here for a long time, Yang Hong, and I have seen the two generals! Dare I ask the two generals, where is the prime minister now?"

"The Prime Minister takes care of state affairs and manages a lot of opportunities every day! I have been ordered to go ahead and take over the city defense! I hope Yang Changshi will not be offended." Xue Tong said, Xue Tong was born as a military general, and he is not like a civil servant.

After Yang Hong heard this, he didn't say a word, and stepped aside directly, making a gesture of please. Tan Daoji was not polite to him, and with a big wave of his hand, the soldiers behind rushed up and took over the gate in front of him. The city gate guards disarmed on the spot and went to the school grounds to wait for disposal.

Taking over the city defense of Hefei City and controlling the city gates is just the first step, followed by the army led by Xu Maogong, Gao Shun and others. Even if they have any conspiracy, in the face of absolute strength, nothing is to be feared.

"Report to General! Our army has taken over the entire city defense!" A school lieutenant came to Tan Daoji and Xue Tong to report.

"Okay! Got it! Send someone to inform Mr. Xu quickly, and I will leave the rest to him!" Tan Daoji said, he had already completed the task of taking over the city defense and controlling the city gate, and the rest of the matter was not up to the two of them thing.

"No!" The school lieutenant clasped his fists in salute, retreated, ordered people to go to the camp, and informed Xu Maogong and others to come to deal with the affairs of Hefei City.

Xu Maogong and others led a large army to Hefei City. Xu Maogong personally handled all the government affairs in Hefei City. After the government affairs were handled, he sent someone to notify Li Song.

"Report to the Prime Minister! Master Xu sent someone to say that all matters in Hefei City have been handled properly, and I respectfully invite the Prime Minister to enter the city!" Li Songgang put down the official document in his hand, rubbed his shoulders, and a personal guard outside the tent Walked in and reported.

"Oh! What time is it now?" Li Song asked.

"Back to the Prime Minister! There is still half an hour before noon!" The guard replied respectfully.

"Order all the ministries to march towards Hefei City! I want to have lunch in Hefei City! Also, bring these official documents with me, and I will continue to work!" Li Song said, getting up and walking outside the tent.

"No!" The guards respectfully clasped their fists and saluted. After sending Li Song away from the camp, he hurriedly called someone to bring the official documents and Li Song's things to Li Song's car.

After everything was settled, Li Song got into his exclusive car, and under the guard of the army, he headed towards Hefei City in a mighty way.

"Meet the Prime Minister!" Outside the gate of Hefei City, Xu Maogong and others who had been waiting for a long time saw Li Song appearing in a car under the guard of the army, and hurriedly led the crowd to bow to him.

"Everyone, don't be too polite!" Li Song got down from the car, stretched out his hands to help the road, and everyone stood up and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Xu Maogong took a step forward, came to Li Song and cupped his hands: "My lord! I have already settled all the matters in Hefei city, and I ask my lord to move into the city."

"En! Maogong, you did a good job!" Li Song smiled slightly, patted Xu Maogong on the shoulder and praised, "Go, let's go to the city!" Li Song said, turned back to the car, and entered the city with everyone .

"Lord Yan, I heard that Yuan Shu built an imperial palace in Hefei City. It is magnificent, no worse than my palace." Li Song asked Yan Xiang who was driving beside him.

"Return to Prime Minister! Yuan Shu really wanted to build another palace like Shouchun in Hefei City, but it was not completed due to many reasons." Yan Xiang said.

While talking, everyone stopped in front of a luxurious residence. Li Song got out of the car, looked at the large house in front of him, and thought to himself, Yuan Shu really knows where to choose. This house is located in the center of Hefei There are two stone lions standing on the left and right sides of the main entrance.

"Prime Minister! Please!" Yan Xiang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Li Song, "This mansion was chosen by Yuan Shu as a temporary palace after he came to Hefei."

"It seems! Yuan Shu is quite discerning in this area! Not only is the location good, the land area is large, more importantly, although this house is not as good as the palace, it is not bad." Li Song under Yan Xiang's guidance , walked into the house that Yuan Shu originally used as a palace, and said to Yan Xiang.

"The Prime Minister is right! This place is in the entire golden zone. After my ancestor Yuan Shu came here, he requisitioned this place and the nearby houses, connected them all together, and then made some minor changes." Yan Xiang said lightly.

Li Song knew this, but he didn't want it to be as simple as Yan Xiang said. The area here is so vast that it can't be solved by simply connecting them together. Especially, it is not so easy to change these to form a whole.

Yan Xiang introduced the entire temporary palace of Yuan Shu in Hefei to Li Song all the way. When everyone came to a big hall, Yan Xiang pointed to the big hall in front of him and said, "Prime Minister! This is where Yuan Shu discusses matters."

"Oh! This is where the false emperor Yuan Shu went to court!" Li Song turned his head sideways, looked at Yan Xiang and said.

"Exactly!" Yan Xiang affirmed.

"Go! Let's go in and have a look!" Li Song walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, walked up to Yuan Shu's seat, and sat down on the seat that originally belonged to Yuan Shu. Xu Chu and Li Yuanba stood beside Li Song. separate sides.

"Maogong, how are you handling the affairs of Hefei City? Granary, arsenal, etc., tell me!" Li Song was fair to Xu Mao, who was standing first on the right.

"Report to the Prime Minister!" Xu Maogong bowed his hands as he came out of the shift, "According to my statistics, there is no food in Hefei City, and the army and people in the city are starving. I have already ordered people to bring food and grass for relief."

As soon as Xu Maogong came, he first went to the granary to check, only to see that the granary was empty!Clean rats were running around, and the residents in the city had no food to eat. In order to prevent riots, Xu Maogong ordered people to deliver food to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

"As for the arsenal, there are [-] spears, [-] pairs of armor, and [-] arrows, of which nearly [-] were shot by our army to Hefei City."

"There are more than 3000 soldiers in Hefei City, including [-] veterans who have been in battle for a long time, and the rest are recruits newly recruited to defend the city!"

"There is also the treasury in Hefei City, Yuan Shu's private treasury, etc., all of which are also tapped! All the accounts listed are here, and the prime minister is invited to have a look!"

Xu Maogong reported to Li Song the situation in Hefei City. Finally, he took out a bamboo slip from his body, bent down and lifted the bamboo slip over his head, and presented it to Li Song. Li Song motioned Xu Chu to take it.
