Chapter 90

Zhao Tai saw Wu Xian's expression of embarrassment and said: "It's not in vain. It can be as little as half a month or as much as one month. I will pay back double the amount!"

Wu Xian pondered for a while, "Sir, how much do you want?"

Zhao Tai stretched out his finger, "One thousand stones!"

Wuxian waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, "Pack one thousand five hundred stones of food for Mr. Zhao!"

When the officer behind him heard the order, he hesitated to speak, but he still cupped his fists and accepted the order: "I respect my humble position!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhao Tai said gratefully: "My lord, thank you so much. You have helped me solve an urgent need!"

Wu Xianhao said angrily: "Young Master, you are welcome. I am older than you by how many years. Why don't you call me Brother Wu from now on, and I will call you Brother Xiao Zhao?"

"Of course I want it!" Zhao Tai said with a hearty smile: "This is my first time in Xuzhou, so I need my brother to take care of me more in the future!"

"Go sit in my camp and have dinner here in the evening!" Wuxian invited Zhao Tai inside and asked, "Brother, did you hit a snag with Pu Chaguan Nu?"

Zhao Tai, as the deputy historian of Xuanfu, actually came to borrow grain from him, which means that the slaves of the Pu procurator did not agree to Zhao Tai's application for allocating grain.

To say that more than a thousand stones of grain, just over 10,000 kilograms, is not too much. Pu Chaoguan Nu has to give face to Zhao Tai, the new deputy envoy, but Pu Chaguan Nu does not approve it, which can only mean that he

Deliberately targeting Zhao Tai.

Wu Xian mentioned this to let Zhao Tai know that he was helping Zhao Tai at the risk of offending Pu Chaguannu.

As the deputy historian of Xuanfu, it was a very shameful thing to be unable to transfer grain from the Xuanfu Division. Moreover, if word got out, it would definitely affect Zhao Tai's prestige on the East and West Roads of Shandong.

The military leader below saw that Zhao Tai could not get food and knew that his words were useless, so he naturally followed Pu Chaguannu, and this was exactly the purpose of Pu Chaguannu.

"Yes, he gave me a warning when I first came here!" Zhao Tai did not hide it. Lao Wu could take the risk of offending Pu Chaoguan's slave and lend him food, which shows that he has something to do. This brother can

at.

Zhao Tai remembered what happened just now and gritted his teeth and said: "The day the official slave falls into my hands, I must kill him."

Wu Xian patted Zhao Tai on the shoulder, "Brother, you are not the first to say this!"

Zhao Tai stopped and looked at him in surprise, "Why, is there anyone else who wants to kill him?"

Wu Xian said solemnly: "This Pu Chaguan slave relies on himself as a Jurchen noble and is favored by the emperor, so he doesn't take us Han people seriously. I was ordered to come to Xuzhou to recruit troops. Not long ago, I went to him to collect food and salary. He asked me

I wrote a receipt first, saying that the food and wages would be shipped to me later in the camp! Damn it, I saw that he was the Xuanfu envoy and had the power to control me, so I wrote it first. Unexpectedly, the guy only sent me half! I was

I brought people to argue with him, but he insisted that he had allocated everything to me!"

At this point, Wu Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, do you know how angry I was at that time? I immediately wrote a letter to that guy, but even if I went to the emperor, it was useless! Now he is still the Xuanfu envoy, and

The money and food owed to me have not been repaid! At that time, I also said the same thing, I wanted to kill Pu Inspector Slave!"

Zhao Tai glanced at Wuxian and said with emotion: "The imperial court still trusts the Jurchens more and is still wary of us!"

Wuxian stopped talking and didn't continue the conversation. He just sneered and said nothing.

Wuxian is a Han warlord, so the Jin Dynasty court is naturally wary of him and will not give priority to restoring his strength.

When Zhao Tai entered the military camp, he found that Wuxian was very strict in managing the army. Not only was the camp clean and tidy, but the sergeants were also very impressive in their drills.

At this time, Wuxian led Zhao Tai to inspect the military camp and had a quick tour. When they arrived at the main tent, an officer reported that 1,500 shi of grain had been loaded onto the truck.

Wuxian wanted to keep Zhao Tai for meals, so Zhao Tai had no choice but to ask Cheng Hu to take the food back first.

Entering the big tent, the furnishings inside are simple and extremely simple, including a bed, a screen, a large square table, and several long benches.

Wu Xian handed his iron helmet and sword to the guards to hang them up, and then asked Zhao Tai to sit down.

The food on the table is very simple, one green vegetable, one pickle, then steamed buns and millet porridge, not even a bit of meaty taste.

"Brother Zhao, you're too lazy, that's all I have here!" Wuxian greeted.

Zhao Tai felt a little moved. He looked at it and realized that Wuxian was also in a difficult situation. Then he picked up the teacup and said, "I'll give you a toast to my brother with tea instead of wine!"

Wu Xian smiled, "Why are you so polite!"

The two of them were eating millet porridge, steamed buns and pickles, while talking about the current situation.

When Wu Xian heard Zhao Tai talking about the purpose of the Jin Dynasty court sending him, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Humph! The imperial court asked Pu Chaguan's slave to be the propaganda envoy. How could Xuzhou run well? The soldiers didn't even have enough to eat.

How can we train and recover Shandong?"

Zhao Taishen thought so, "After receiving this deputy envoy of Xuanfu, I originally thought that I would be able to do great things as a high official in the border areas! Who would have thought that there is such a bug above me, so I still have no troops and no people in Xuzhou."

"

Zhao Tai treated the tea as wine, raised his head and drank it, "A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in depression for a long time. Brother, if we want to do something great, we must get rid of this slave of Pu Chaguan!"

Wu Xian was shocked. He was a warlord. Naturally he would not report Zhao Tai. Besides, he also wanted to get rid of Pu Chaguan Nu.

The imperial court trusts us. It will be difficult for us to overthrow him unless we have greater strength."

Having said this, Wu Xian glanced at Zhao Tai and suddenly smiled and said: "You are now the deputy envoy of Xuanfu on the East and West Road of Shandong, and you know the affairs of Tengzhou and Pizhou, right?"

Zhao Tai nodded, and Wu Xian immediately said: "Brother, you actually have a piece of land!"

Zhao Tai looked at Wu Xian, "Where is it?"

Wuxian said: "Suining County is located in the south of the Yellow River. It originally belonged to Pizhou and is now managed by Sizhou on Nanjing Road. If you go to Suining, I can also give you thousands of soldiers and horses as gifts."

There were slaves of the Pu procurator in Xuzhou, so Zhao Tai, the deputy envoy, did not speak with authority.

Suining was originally under the jurisdiction of Pizhou, but because most of Pizhou fell and only one county on the south bank was left, Sizhou was placed in charge.

Now that Zhao Tai actually knows about Pizhou affairs, he can control Suining's political affairs. As long as the Suining garrison is willing to listen to him, he can have military and political power.

Zhao Tai was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and he also had the power to control the army. However, the army of the Jin Kingdom had become warlords at this time. Whether they listened to Pu Chaguan's slaves or him, it all depended on the military leader's own choice.

Zhao Tai looked at Wu Xian in surprise, "The Suining garrison is my brother's men?"

Wu Xian smiled and said: "They are my men, and your subordinates are also over there. Since brother, you are now the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, how can you do anything without soldiers, so I will return them all to you!"
