2855: C2855 Difficult?

C2855 Difficult?

The old man looked coldly at the urging general, then began to speak, pointing out the crux of the matter.

"That's right. From the intentions of your beloved minister, you have already come up with a countermeasure?" The Emperor's face remained calm.

"That's true."

The old man nodded first, then narrowed his cloudy eyes. "I suddenly remembered that we were worried too early. Although Jiang Ting could expand the army, he did not have any military expenses. If he really expanded the army, I'm afraid he would not even be able to pay the salary."

Without waiting for an answer, the old man sneered again. "The spies have sent word that Jiang Ting is in charge of the army. He dares to violate the core military discipline. No matter who it is, he will be killed. That is his advantage, but now, it is also his most fatal weakness."

All of the officials were confused.

The old man did not waste any time. He said, "The army has passed. No one is allowed to disturb the people. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished. This is one of the core three military rules of Jiang Ting. It is rumored that... To join his four families because of a violation of core military discipline, The number of people who had been beheaded was not small. This was the foundation of his army. And now, he had no money to expand his army. With this military discipline, it is also the most important factor for the eight counties to surrender. "

The hundred officials thought for a while, and a small portion of their pupils contracted. Clearly, they had thought of something.

The Emperor also thought of something, if there was a cure.

The old man revealed a hint of excitement. "His Majesty is a member of the royal family. If His Majesty personally decrees that the spies will convey the decree to the many aristocratic families in the eight counties, and at the same time, order the general to lead the army to deal with the rebellion. As long as the families of the eight counties do not hand over the money, Jiang Ting will not have any money to expand the army!"

At the end, the old man looked excited. "Jiang Ting does not dare to confiscate the merchants and rich families in the county without any reason. If not, he will personally order them to go against the military rules. The mutiny of the army will be right in front of their eyes! " If he does not expand his army, he only has twenty thousand soldiers. Why should he stop the Zhao army? "

The Emperor closed his eyes and thought for a while. He opened his eyes and coldly shouted, "Pass down the decree..."

...

Yu Wen County.

Jiang Mansion, Jiang Ting's courtyard.

Lu Yuan, Gai Yi and the others had returned. When they left, they took away fifteen thousand troops and two thousand soldiers to be in charge of logistics.

Now, only seven thousand soldiers had returned with them. The remaining eight thousand soldiers guarded eight counties. At the same time, two thousand grain soldiers were still in charge of logistics.

Su Jiu looked at the people in the courtyard and said in a heavy voice, Su Jiu looked at the people in the courtyard and said in a heavy voice, "Young Master, the eight counties have descended because of the wind, although it has greatly increased Young Master's reputation. " However, we have no reason to attack many families. We don't have enough military funds, so it's difficult to expand our army. "

Jiang Ting turned around and looked at the map. His eyes were gloomy as well. According to his original plan, all eight counties would resist. At that time, his army would destroy many families. Only one family would be left in each county to pacify the people.

If that was the case, he would have more military funds to expand his army. He would also have more channels to increase his wealth and increase his treasury.

Unexpectedly... Wherever his army passed, no one would dare to resist them. All of them surrendered on the spot... When his army set off, they only wandered around outside. They did not fight a single battle, nor did they waste a single arrow!

It seemed like a good thing, but it was actually extremely disadvantageous to him.

With the current situation, it was utterly impossible for him to casually slaughter the aristocratic families and clans. If that was the case, then how would he govern his territory? How to pacify the people's hearts?

If he didn't expand his army... With only twenty thousand soldiers in his hands, how could he fight Zhao? Once Zhao's army came, a mere twenty thousand soldiers would die for sure.

The only thing he didn't expect was that the eight counties were so weak that they didn't dare to resist.

Looking at the map, he thought about it for about five breaths.

Jiang Ting turned around and said, "Pass on my order. Tell the leaders of the major families and the patriarchs to come to Yu Wen County to see me immediately."

"Young master, have you noticed?" Su Jiu was a little happy.

"Yes."

First, he nodded. Then Jiang Ting's voice became cold. "Tell them that the order has been issued from Yu Wen County. Within seven days, the families that have not arrived will treat it as disrespecting me. They want to collude with the Zhao and destroy the entire family!"

Without waiting for a response, Jiang Ting snorted. "After the order is conveyed, tell the counties to immediately expand the army. Each county... first expand the army by three thousand, and then support by one thousand!"0

"Young Master, we don't have enough money." Min Wen, who was in charge of logistics, hurriedly spoke up.

Jiang Ting's voice was full of unquestionable words. "When those families come, it will naturally be enough. Let's start expanding the army."

When the others heard him, no matter what they thought, they all nodded.

After discussing the details again, everyone left.

When they left, Su Jiu spoke again. "Young Master, we just received news from Jiangyuan County that a hundred of Southern Hunt's personal soldiers are heading towards Wuxi County. It's very likely that they are heading towards Yu Wen County. They should be able to arrive within twenty days."

"100 soldiers are heading towards Yu Wen County?"

After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting shook his head. "Don't worry about it. When we expand the army, you should pay more attention. When I get the money from other families, I will take Wuxi County and make myself a king."

"Okay."

Su Jiu nodded and asked, "What about the Min family? According to the previous set date, tomorrow will be the day young master will marry Min Yun and enter the sect."

Jiang Ting thought for a while, then said, "Tell the Min family to postpone it for six days. The two prefectures will hold a banquet in seven days. I will go and welcome the bride."

"Seven days?"

Su Jiu was slightly stunned when he heard that. "Seven days later, isn't it the day that Young Master wants to see the other families? Could it be that there's a deeper meaning behind it?"

Jiang Ting glanced at Su Jiu with a rare expression. He felt that with Su Jiu's appearance and bearing of taking care of many things in an orderly manner, he shouldn't be unable to see through them.

Did he really not expect it, or was he pretending not to know?

He didn't care about the details, but said softly, " Since they are in time for my wedding..." Since each of them is the head of the main branch family and the clan head, it shouldn't be too much to give half of their family fortune as a gift, right? "

Without waiting for an answer, Jiang Ting's mouth turned slightly cold. "If they think that giving half of the family's wealth is too much, then it is likely that they think that it is disrespectful and disloyal... A family with disloyal intentions should be destroyed."

What he needed was only an excuse.

He did not need too many families in each county. All he needed was a family to take care of the affairs in the county for him. The rest. The rest was better to give up all the family wealth and go to the netherworld to stay.

...

Seven days wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either.

Under Jiang Ting's death order, no matter what the families of the eight counties thought, at least they all sped away. In just six days, all the family heads and family heads of the main family had arrived at Yu Wen County.

The expansion of the army of the eight counties had also begun.

Yu Wen County.

The county was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

Because today was Jiang Ting's wedding day. Everyone.. Poor or poor, No matter if they were rich or not, as long as they were willing, they could go to the Jiang Mansion's main gate to get some happy candy.
