"… I'm afraid there won't be any results at this alliance meeting … No matter how many troops I bring, it'll just be a formality …" Jiang Pengji pinched her chin and muttered. All kinds of thoughts went through her mind. She said, "To prevent the Red Lotus Group from reviving, we can't transfer too many troops from Wanzhou. So I've decided to bring 10,000 troops this time. 6,000 elites, 4,000 new recruits, and the rest will stay behind to guard the rear …"
Qiguan Rang, Feng Jin, and the others frowned imperceptibly. They disagreed with her proposal.
Only 10,000 troops?
Although Wanzhou's military strength was tight and its foundation was unstable, it wasn't that shabby.
Their lord was personally leading the alliance meeting. How could she hold the fort with only 10,000 troops?
Her subordinates still had their concerns. They didn't say anything immediately, but the viewers in the streaming room were the first to be dissatisfied.
Longevity Su Muqiu: "No, Streamer, are you really that shabby? You're still the governor of Wanzhou, even if it's illegal at the moment. If you don't think you're shabby, others will think you're down and out for the alliance meeting with 10,000 followers. Thinking back to the last century, the leader of the gangsters could bring dozens of followers when he went out for a fight. You'll definitely be looked down upon if you only bring 10,000 troops. Speaking of the alliance meeting, I think of the 18 feudal vassals' crusade against Dong. If they also go through the trouble of electing a leader, you'll definitely be left on the bench with only 10,000 troops. "
Hand Speed Expert Yu Wenzhou: "Haha, upstairs, have you been possessed by the taciturn Huang Shaotian?"
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Damn, can you guys change your IDs? Live to a hundred years old? I get stabbed in the heart just watching the streaming."
Guicai Guofengxiao: "Although this series of IDs is very hurtful, Little Susu isn't wrong. According to the current situation, if the streamer only brings 10,000 troops, she'll definitely be looked down upon. Whether it's the alliance meeting or the election of a leader, she won't be able to join in the fun. "
There was a heated argument in the streaming room. A few strategists showed disapproving expressions at first, but they suddenly thought of something and their expressions returned to normal.
This change attracted the attention of some viewers. They sent bullet screens one after another, asking for answers.
Liu Xi is my husband: "Did you guys notice that the strategists were against it at first? Why are they so calm now?"
I live next door I surnamed Wang: "That's right … I was too busy watching them start a war on the bullet screens just now. Did I miss something?"
Old Wang is not as good as Old Song Qiang: I have a rough idea. Oh right, did you forget about the streamer's father, the Chongzhou magistrate, Liu She!
Indeed, as the audience in the live streaming room, Old Song, had said, the strategists had not objected because they had thought of Liu She.
Liu She also responded to the call to rescue the emperor.
Jiang Pengji had only brought 10,000 troops with her, but if she joined hands with her father, Liu She, to participate in the alliance meeting to rescue the emperor, could the number of participants be stronger than the "father and son"?
According to the original plan, Jiang Pengji had intended to bring 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses. However, after further analyzing the situation in Wanzhou, she dispelled that idea. Feng Jin and the others did not know, but Jiang Pengji knew very well that her enemies were not only in the open, but also in the dark.
The enemies on the surface were easy to deal with, but the enemies in the dark were very troublesome.
Considering the situation in Wanzhou, Jiang Pengji chose the more reliable plan after making repeated choices.
It was indeed unseemly to bring 10,000 troops to participate in the alliance meeting to rescue the emperor, but Jiang Pengji was certain that no one would dare to look down on her.
"I wish you victory in advance, my lord."
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "Let's work hard together."
Before the meeting was adjourned, Jiang Pengji called out to Wei Ci. "Zixiao, stay here for a while. I need your help with something."
Yang Si stared at his friend's face with a complicated gaze. In the end, he was dragged away by Feng Zhen.
After leaving the government office, Feng Zhen tucked his hands into his sleeves, a wanton smile on his face.
"Yang Jing Rong, you haven't married yet. Is there something you can't say?"
Yang Si rolled his eyes impatiently. Feng Zhen was going to be his partner for a while, so he could not not give him face.
"What do you mean?"
Feng Zhen smiled and said, "I really noticed that you glanced at Zixiao a total of 22 times today."
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Yang Si's legs turned to jelly and he almost fell down the steps.
"You wastrel, do you think everyone is like you?" Yang Si was so angry that even his beard was about to curl up.
Feng Zhen smiled, a strange light flashing in his eyes. "Although I'm a wastrel, I don't like men."
Yang Si swung his sleeves angrily. "I don't like that either!"
Feng Zhen snorted and put his hand on Yang Si's shoulder to coax him to the side. He asked in a low voice, "Did you notice something?"
Yang Si's heart skipped a beat. His face turned slightly green, and he pretended to hide it. "What do you mean notice something? I still have things to do, so I won't bother you."
"Zixiao and the lord, is there something going on between you two?" The corners of Feng Zhen's lips curled up, and he said in a declarative tone, "During today's meeting, not only did you look at Zixiao 22 times, but you also glanced at the lord 23 times vaguely … Tell me, what interesting thing did you notice?"
Yang Si almost suffocated. Cooperating with such a gossipy wastrel during the alliance meeting was like being retarded.
"If you're curious, ask them yourself."
Feng Zhen folded his sleeves helplessly. "I asked, but the lord and Zixiao denied it outright. You know what kind of people they are. I don't want to play tricks with them. I wanted to get something out of them, but I accidentally lost myself … "
Yang Si secretly snorted.
He also didn't want to play tricks with Feng Zhen. Feng Zhen was shameless, but he still wanted to save face.
Feng Zhen said, "Some time ago, the chef came up with a new dish. It's sweet and sour, and it's very appetizing. Don't you want to try it?"
Yang Si was speechless.
She couldn't move him with words, so she changed to tempting him with delicacies?
Did he, Yang Jing Rong, look like the kind of person who would lose all integrity for the sake of food?
"Oh, let's go. It's almost lunchtime."
Yang Si strode forward with a smile on his face. He had thought it through.
According to Jiang Pengji, she wanted to reveal her true identity. Why not test Feng Zhen's foundation first?
The two of them had been appointed to go to war, so it wasn't strange for them to eat together. Why couldn't they discuss countermeasures while eating?
Neither of them were people who followed the rules. They didn't talk during meals. It was fine if there were outsiders around, but it was fine if there were no outsiders.
When Feng Zhen heard Yang Si's "speculation," his lungs were almost blocked by the tenderloin, and he coughed so hard that it shook the heavens and the earth.
"Jing Rong, are you making a fool out of me?" Feng Zhen's image was a mess. He didn't have that kind of good or evil aura. Instead, he had the aura of a chuunibyou. "You suspect that the lord is a woman … That's the biggest joke in the world. Let me tell you, if a woman looks like the lord, she won't be able to find a husband in this lifetime. I reckon that she can only become a bandit, rob houses, and forcefully kidnap a man from a good family to be her husband. "
Yang Si was speechless.
Feng Zhen couldn't help but recall the scene of him and Jiang Pengji secretly drinking and eating meat.
"The lord does look a little feminine, but no matter how you look at him, he's clearly a man. When I first came, Fengyi County wasn't so busy. The lord and I drank together in private and went to brothels many times … Whenever the lord was around, the courtesans couldn't be bothered to look at anyone else. Whatever obscene lyrics and songs, what common folk stories, what dirty talk, the lord would just open his mouth. You say … this kind of old gluttonous person immersed in the mortal world … is a woman? Do you believe it? "
Yang Si was speechless.
