On the morning of May 20, when Lin Feng, led by the "local snake" Li Yuanqing, directly found the Sizhou Governor's Mansion, he was told that the Governor Fan Zaiyu left the government to handle the case in the morning and probably would not be able to return until noon.

Lin Feng did not stop waiting, but directly ordered Li Yuanqing to lead the way and turn to his house to take a look.

Hearing that his son brought a great nobleman back, the whole Li family became excited. Li Zhensheng brought all the men to the main hall to greet Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn't like these false condoms the most. After the etiquette, he directly ordered everyone to disperse and asked Li Yuanqing to pack his luggage. He sincerely invited Li Zhensheng to Shouzhou to participate in the World Merchants Conference on June 5. Li Zhensheng agreed and loudly ordered his servants to prepare lunch, but Lin Feng refused.

Afterwards, Lin Feng, Feng Jingyun, Lin Renzhao and Li Yuanqing exchanged for a long time in the study about the future development of the situation. When he saw that it was almost noon, he had just bid farewell to Li's mansion and headed straight for the governor's mansion.

This time, Lin Feng was directly led to the governor's mansion and headed straight to the study.

Fan Zaiyu was about forty years old and slightly fat, but he was very enthusiastic. When he heard Lin Feng coming, he smiled and greeted him: "Mr. Lin, I have long admired Daming. Fan has mistreated the welcome and was rude."

Lin Feng saw Suo Chao with a smile behind Fan Zaiyu. At that time, the five hundred elite team leader of Sizhou, one of the people who had asked to stay by Lin Feng, became excited immediately and bowed from afar and returned the salute.

Fan Zaihui pulled Suo Chao behind him and said with a smile: "After learning that Lord Lin was coming, Suo Chao was even more excited than me, so he took the initiative to ask to see Lord Lin."

Lin Feng laughed and praised: "Only Lord Fan knows and responsibilities, can he show his might on the battlefield of General Suo. Lin admires him very much."

After the warm and harmonious opening meeting, the atmosphere in the study became even more lively. After waiting for the tea cloth, Fan Zaiyu pointed at Suo Chao and said, "Fan received a letter from Lord Lin earlier. He knew that he wanted to ask Suo Chao to join the special forces. Fan was not talented and would never dare to delay General Suo's future. Now, in front of Lord Lin, he officially agreed to this matter."

Lin Feng and Suo Chao bowed to thank him at the same time.

"However, I have a request." Fan Zaiyu changed his voice, and without waiting for Lin Feng to react, he said in a deep voice: "I heard that Lord Lin's Academy of Sciences produces the Tang Dynasty's magic weapons, so he should have used some magic weapons to exchange for Lord Suo."

Lin Feng was about to agree, but Fan Zaiyu's words immediately shocked him: "I don't have high requirements. The weight of the divine weapon is equal to that of General Suo in my family."

Lin Feng was a little amused and terrible. A good steel knife was only a few kilograms, and the rope was definitely more than 180 kilograms. Nearly twenty, he had to change it. Where did he get so many steel knives now?

Fan Zaiyu was obviously an interesting person. When he saw Lin Feng's face was full of difficulties, he immediately changed his words: "Five knives, this is the minimum standard. No matter how low it is, our general Suo should give his own opinions on his value."

As long as you are willing to negotiate, Lin Feng immediately restored his businessman's shrewd nature and counted: "Mr. Fan, it's not Lin's random blow. We just came back from the Khitan. A Tang Dynasty treasure sword had sold high prices for fifteen high-quality horses on the grassland. And we had just traded a large number of Khitans. The number of treasure swords left was rare, and there were indeed not many, at most two, which was the limit."

"At least four." Fan Yuyu took a step back and continued to shout.

After some bargaining, Lin Feng took a small step in the end, two steel knives and one Khitan military horse were added. Fan Zaiyu immediately agreed, as if he was afraid that Lin Feng would regret it.

Lin Feng immediately beat the snake and rod on the stick, turned around and asked Suo Chao if there were any brothers following him. Suo Chao glanced at Fan Zaihui and lowered his head and said there were five brothers. Lin Feng immediately looked at Fan Zaihui.

Comrade Lao Fan glared at Suo Chao, and was so angry that he blew his beard. He said angrily: "Okay, you big guy, you have just turned your elbow out before you left."

Lin Feng immediately pretended to be selling out of money and promised to give him another war horse, and immediately coaxed Lao Fan's face to nowhere.

Then, Lin Feng became solemn, and told the Tang Dynasty's boss about the future situation. He completely extinguished the joy on Lao Fan's face. He immediately regretted: "Okay, Lin Feng, he actually lied to me. If you said earlier, I would never let Suo Chao go. No, you must compensate me for Sizhou."

Lin Feng also knew that he was not doing this well and immediately agreed.

Fan Zaiyu immediately reappeared in his true nature, and raised his finger and said, "My Sizhou City is a villain with less than 4,000 soldiers. In the war, he can only focus on defending. Since he is a defender, the more money, food and weapons, the better."

However, Lao Fan is still a relatively easy-to-talk person after all. After Lin Feng began the battle, he said that Sizhou would definitely reduce the rent and taxes. Lao Fan's face became relaxed and he immediately spoke:

"Mr. Lin, in this way, your position as the governor of the Central Commander is set up to command the overall situation in wartime. As the chief of the superior, you must ensure that the money and food required for Sizhou for a long time is not discussed!"

Lin Feng had no choice but to organize wealthy businessmen from all over the country to gather in Shouzhou and prepare to use commercial tax to offset grain. Lao Fan was not polite and raised his two palms at once: "I don't want much, just the food from ten warships."

Another round of bargaining began, and the final transaction volume was the food of six warships, but the ships could not be smaller than the double-chariot warships.

After discussing the matter, Lin Feng immediately ordered Suo Chao to contact his brothers and set off immediately. Even Fan Zaihui's banquet was ruthless.

In the evening, Lin Feng and his group of ten left Sizhou City and rushed to Haozhou (now Fengyang County, Anhui Province, with a jurisdiction of similar cities and counties, including Bengbu, Fengyang, Huaiyuan, Dingyuan, Mingguang and other cities) a hundred miles away.

On the morning of May 21, Lin Feng and his party rushed to Zhongli City, where the Haozhou Capital was located. Zhongli City was named after it was the country of Zhongli in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was surrounded by Tushan, Moye Mountain and Haotang Mountain. It is also an important town in Huainan that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Lin Feng did not rush to enter the city. He led the team to the highest peak of Haotang Mountain in the south of the city and carefully observed the surrounding geographical environment. Haozhou is about 150 miles west of Shouzhou and is the eastern guard barrier of Shouzhou City. It can be said that it is a lewd and teeth-dependent relationship. It has traveled several states along the way. However, Haozhou is the most important in the future war.

Lin Feng and his party entered the city from the south gate and directly found the governor's mansion of Haozhou, revealed their identity, and requested to visit the governor Guo Tingwei.

To Lin Feng's surprise, the strong man who reported to the door went for a long time before he turned back and said coldly: "The governor has important official duties and is not convenient to receive them. Please invite people to sign up for Jinshi in the afternoon (three o'clock) again."

Just after coming out of the enthusiasm of Sizhou, Lin Feng and his group did not expect to encounter a group of unconcealed coldness here, and suddenly came back to their senses. After hearing this, Lin Feng turned around and left, heading to a restaurant next to him. It was lunch time. If they didn't accept themselves, we couldn't treat ourselves badly.

The group spent more than an hour in the restaurant. It was estimated that Shen Shi had arrived, and they turned back to the gate of the governor's mansion again. The man was still shy and strong in the morning. He waited for Lin Feng to report his name again, and then slowly turned around and entered.

It was a long time before the strong man turned out and stared at the people behind Lin Feng and said, "Everyone can only enter if they remove their weapons."

Lin Feng turned around and stopped Lin Renzhao who was about to get angry, and took the lead in unraveling the sword beside him in the wing room. Lin Renzhao glared at the strong man angrily and said angrily: "If there is any problem with our carry-on sword, I will peel you."

The strong man leisurely dusted the dust on his body, grimaced and said, "Oh, I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that you are a poor soldier."

When he heard this provocative sentence, not only Lin Renzhao was furious, but even Lin Feng felt a little angry. Guo Ting said that he had taken the wrong medicine and was so good.
