Chapter 142

Yuan Feng knew that this bleeding was inevitable, so he immediately stepped out and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, serving the country is my duty. I am willing to represent the Yuan family and donate 100,000 shi of money and food, and 5,000 young and strong local braves to assist General Huangfu and General Su in suppressing the rebels."

With Yuan Feng setting the example, He Jin also immediately stated: "I am also willing to donate 100,000 shi of money and food, but I can only provide 3,000 young and strong local braves."

Any more, and he wouldn't have any.

Although he had scraped together a lot of money, food, land... etc. over the years.

But he really didn't have many young and strong people in his hands.

These 3,000 were enough to make him bleed heavily.

"I am also willing to donate 3,000 shi of food and grass!"

"I..."

With Yuan Feng and He Jin taking the lead, the hundred officials below also stepped out one after another to express their willingness to support.

"Good! Haha!"

Liu Hong, upon hearing this, shouted loudly: "I have seen the patriotic hearts of all the ministers;"

"I have heard all your donations just now, and I will let Zhang Rang register and confirm them later;"

"I ask you all to send the money, food, and troops to Zhang Rang as soon as possible, and he will send them to Wei Commandery in a unified manner."

Liu Hong just calculated that the money and food alone were no less than 800,000 shi.

With so much money and food, how could the Jizhou government army consume it all?

It cannot be wasted, and even more so, it cannot be embezzled by the people below.

Therefore, Liu Hong absolutely would not give the people below a chance to embezzle, and happily accepted half.

He would just send the remaining half to Huangfu Song and Su Xuan.

Hmm! He didn't want any of the troops, all of them were given to Huangfu Song and Su Xuan.

Is there any Son of Heaven more wise than him?

However, this old fox Yuan Feng had been pondering the Son of Heaven for so many years, how could he not know his temperament?

He was also speechless in his heart.

He didn't expect the Son of Heaven to be so shameless, even embezzling a portion of this kind of donation.

Does such a Great Han still have any meaning to exist?

It would be better for their Yuan clan to take its place.

Yuan Feng immediately spoke to stop him: "Your Majesty, this must never be done!"

"The money and food of us ministers are all in our respective hometowns. If we transport them to Luoyang first, and then send them to Jizhou in a unified manner;"

"Not to mention how huge the loss will be, just the time required in this process is likely no less than a month or two;"

"Jizhou is currently extremely lacking in money, food, military equipment, and young and strong soldiers;"

"If it is delayed for so long, how can they support it?"

"I'm afraid they will repeat the same mistakes. I ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

He was not really doing it for the good of the Jizhou battlefield.

It was just that he didn't want to see the Son of Heaven succeed and see the Son of Heaven profit.

Only by limiting the money and food in the hands of the Son of Heaven can the Son of Heaven not recruit and raise more troops.

Only in this way can the Son of Heaven's strength be limited from expanding.

"I ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

Other ministers, upon hearing this, also vaguely understood something and echoed one after another.

Liu Hong: "..."

Does this count as being seen through?

He wanted to refute and reject it.

But what Yuan Feng said made a lot of sense, and was even impeccable, leaving him helpless.

"Forget it! I won't fish this time!"

Thinking this, Liu Hong immediately waved his hand and said: "Minister Yuan's words make a lot of sense. It was my lack of consideration before. Then send them directly to Huangfu Song and Su Xuan in Jizhou!"

"However, I will let Zhang Rang send people to supervise the implementation of this matter. I hope you won't let me down. Court dismissed!"

After speaking, Liu Hong left angrily.

Jizhou, Yecheng,

"Lord, the Zhang He you ordered me to find has been found;"

"This person is currently serving as a Qu Military Marquis in the Jizhou government army. I have brought him here, and he is outside the tent. Do you want to see him?"

Jia San walked into Su Xuan's commander's tent and bowed.

"Oh?"

Su Xuan, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and quickly stood up: "Call him in quickly."

This is Zhang He!

He had sent the Dark Guards to start searching as soon as he came here.

Hmm! Not only Zhang He, but also Gao Lan... and others.

But there is no news about the others for the time being.

"Yes!"

Jia San immediately took the order and went out, and before long, brought a burly young man in.

"Subordinate Zhang He, Zhang Junyi, pays respects to General of the Household Su!"

As soon as Zhang He came in, he bowed respectfully to Su Xuan.

"Junyi, please get up quickly!"

Su Xuan quickly stepped forward to help Zhang He up, patted him on the shoulder, looked him over, and said: "Mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, you are indeed not bad."

"I had heard before that there was a person named Zhang He in the Jizhou government army who was a person who understood military affairs;"

"Every time there was a battle, under the same circumstances, the losses of your subordinates were the smallest, but the results were the greatest;"

"Now it seems that the rumors are not false;"

"Are you willing to follow me?"

He was not talking nonsense; he had indeed studied the battle reports and military merit information left behind by the Jizhou government army before.

He saw Zhang He's eye-catching performance, and only then sent Jia San to look for him.

"Eh?"

Zhang He, upon hearing this, was stunned, obviously not expecting Su Xuan to be so direct.

But the next moment, he bowed to Su Xuan in ecstasy: "Subordinate is willing! End General Zhang He, pays respects to the Lord!"

This is Su Xuan!

A legendary figure of the new generation, whose future prospects are limitless.

To be able to join his command, he is going to be prosperous.

Over the years, he had had enough of hitting walls everywhere.
