Chapter 442: Report from the Court
Xiao Langzhuanhou returned to Changting and was eager to find out the overall situation on the south bank!
But when Han Changting rode back, he could not understand the commander-in-chief's anxious expression.

So he asked the Death Star to push him into the thatched cottage, stepped on the threshold, and glanced around!
Seeing that everyone was there, he actually greeted them casually!
"Wow! Everyone is here!"

"hehe."

"This farm is great, it provides shelter from the wind and rain for miles!"

"It's a good place to rest! Huh?!" Chang Ting started casually.

But Xiao Jingchuan, who was standing next to him, got even more angry when he saw that the boy was so unhurried. He raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head!
"oops!"

"Fuck you!"

"It's not over yet?!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Hurry up, let's talk about business first!" Xiao was impatient.

Seeing this, Chang Ting was also caught off guard and shuddered. Then he looked back and saw that the commander-in-chief was anxious.

So he didn't dare to be disrespectful anymore, and quickly lowered his voice and answered honestly.

"Uh"

"Yes Yes!"

"Well, what is that!"

"I found the people Qi Gang reserved!" Chang Ting responded.

"Well! What did you say?!"

"Tell me what's going on!" Xiao Yi asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, Changting continued his lecture.

"Yes!"

"That man looks like an honest old farmer! There's no one else at home!"

"I went over and checked the password, and then he reported it!"

"It is said that the current Jinan city is under the supervision of Huang Degong and is in good order!"

"The four city gates are fully stocked with all kinds of city defense equipment and military supplies!"

"It's quite organized and reasonably safe!" As he spoke, he wiped the rain from his forehead and continued.

"kindness"

"Yes, three days ago, the Tartar soldiers from the north attacked the city from the northwest!"

"He doesn't even know which part it belongs to!"

"However, the enemy's troops are extremely limited, and siege equipment is scarce!"

"Only during the night attack, with the bravery of the soldiers, some of them almost climbed up the city wall!"

"But it's not a big deal!"

"After a fierce fight, they were all thrown down the wall!"

"Ever since we met the enemy a few days ago!"

"Huang Degong has already temporarily closed the four city gates!"

"He also has three days where he can't go in!"

"So, he is not very clear about the situation in the city in the past two days!" Changting told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Xiao let out a breath, paused for a moment, and then started talking again to continue the conversation.

"Well, it seems that Huang Degong has some ability to command the army!"

"call--"

"Row!"

"Hey, that's right!"

"Is there any news about Minglu and Qi Gang?!" After the matter was settled, Xiao Lang hurriedly brought up another topic.

"what!"

"As for Minglu and Qi Gang, it seems that they are not in the nearby provincial capital at the moment!" Changting received the report.

"That person said he went to the east, towards Qingzhou and Laizhou!"

"He is also waiting for news on when he can return!"

Suddenly he thought of it and spoke again.

"Oh! That's right!"

"On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the old man said that he got a report that a group of more than ten people from Dexi came knocking on the gate in the middle of the night!"

"On the ninth day after the Lunar New Year, someone inside investigated and it seems to be someone from our department!"

"There are two generals with a cavalry escort!"

"Among the two generals, one is seriously injured!"

"They were carried into the Governor's Office by men!"

After Changting finished speaking, Xiao Wei raised an eyebrow, but before he could respond, Sun Peizhong, who was standing beside him, took the initiative and responded first.

"This"

"Hey, Commander!"

"It all makes sense when you hear that!"

"It should be Hongcai and Gao Hu, there's no doubt about it!" Peizhong searched carefully and sorted out the situation.

"kindness!"

"Good! It's good to be able to come back!"

"It means the person is still here!" Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

And then he went back to the long court!

"Changting!"

"So what is the overall public opinion on the South Bank right now?!" "Are there any clear and detailed accounts of that?!" Xiao Lun.

"Uh"

"As for the detailed account, I didn't ask!" Chang Ting was choked by the question and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Oh!"

"But he did tell you the general idea!"

"It is said that Qi Gang gave the order early in the morning!"

"When the warlord returns south, I'll tell you straight away!"

"The various prefectures and cities along the southern bank of Shandong, Ma Minglu is currently raising funds. As of the fifth day of the first lunar month, the villagers have already raised more than 5,000 people!"

"As for food and military supplies, for a troop of more than 10,000 people stationed in the city, the amount they need to eat and use for a month or so is barely enough!"

"Also, this time we are heading east, we will go to Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Ninghai!"

"The number of people and food we gather will only increase!"

"It all depends on how the warlord spends it!"

"I'm just worried that the money we saved with great difficulty will be used to recruit more people, which will affect other missions!"

"This is just a way of making a big fuss before you die!" Changting said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingchuan frequently responded.

"Yeah! That's right!"

"Qi Gang and Ming Lu both know what's going on!"

"I feel very relieved!" Xiao Biao praised.

But when he heard the number of people raised, Li Huchen beside him became uneasy!
"Five thousand?!"

"Uh"

"The number of soldiers is not that many!"

"Every unit in our army is in urgent need of reinforcements!"

"If we take one point from this big guy, there won't be much left!"

"If you ask me, the military reorganization should be done in an open manner!"

"We'll deal with as many people as we can get!"

"The more the better! Huh?!"

"Who, who would complain about having too many people under his command?"

"You, do you say yes or no?!"

Hu Chen did not consider the cost and only wanted to expand the team. When he spoke, it was difficult for the members present to cooperate with him. No one joined in and the scene became somewhat awkward!
Hearing this, Xiao Lang was speechless, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Hehehe"

"You, you, you!"

"That silver didn't come from the wind!"

"If you want someone to come, you have to be willing to spend a lot of money!"

"We are forming a team, it's all consensual, it's a serious job!"

"You think I'm a tough, brute force?!"

"This bandit wants to be a leader of a gang, and he wants to give benefits to those who join him!"

"Who will pay the money?!" Pingjiang asked back!
For a moment, Hu Chen choked and stammered, and had no idea where to start!

"Ugh"

"I think if we hadn't fought all the way from the southwest of Ji to Shandong and saved up some money!"

"What can we do with the little money allocated by the Nanjing court right now?!" Xiao Bai looked disappointed.

"you do not say!"

"The rationing and transportation of military rations are still so chaotic!"

"What else do you expect?!" Pei Zhong, who was nearby, also came to add a message to help.

"Send supplies north every time!"

"Either the ship capsized or the food went bad!"

"In my opinion, those corrupt officials who are in charge of grain transportation and military supplies should be arrested and beheaded one by one!"

"I guarantee there won't be a single false or wrongful conviction!"

"Damn it!"

"Kill them all and replace them with our own people. Let Minglu take charge of the matter!"

"If this is really possible, then we can win this battle!" Peizhong complained and spoke nonsense.

Upon hearing this, Xiao's frown gradually disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hi!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Almost done!"

"You're getting more and more ridiculous!"

"that."

He wanted to stop talking at this moment, but when he turned his head, he missed someone in the peripheral vision and was startled.

"kindness?!"

"Where's Chang Ting?!"

"Damn it, this kid just turned his head away, where did he run off to again?!" Xiao Yan hurried to look for him.
