Plane Merchant Fancy Death

Chapter 27 Meeting
Ye Junwen held the first cabinet meeting here in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, but the current cabinet is short of personnel. Most of the former City Lord's confidantes have followed him to the front line, and the people left here are all internal affairs personnel .The city lord died so suddenly that the current situation can only be described as chaos.

There were not many people in the conference room, and most of the officials looked at Ye Junwen strangely.After the previous speeches, most of the officials had a better impression of Ye Junwen, thinking that Ye Junwen should still be a good lord, although he was young, he should be able to make a difference, but now they were a little suspicious in the meeting room.There are now two women standing behind Ye Junwen, one of them is Ye Junwen's guard, that's fine, the other... no one knows, probably the concubine of the city lord?But what happens when you bring a woman to a meeting?

Of course, Selena's appearance has changed slightly now. She originally had short hair and looked a bit like a tomboy, but now there is no need to worry about her identity. She also directly wore a black long-haired wig. Changed into a more decent outfit.Originally, Selena was quite beautiful, but her hairstyle was really weird. Now that she has long hair, she is much more beautiful. Of course, no one thinks that this guy is the real city lord.

Although he was a little puzzled about Selena, he didn't know Ye Junwen's temper well, and no one asked questions.At present, they still have a lot of problems to deal with, and they have no time to deal with them.

"Currently the primary target is Lord Lei Luo." Cordina, the chief of interior affairs here, said first, "Judging from the current situation, if Lord Lei Luo wants to do something, it should be a few days. Good opportunity, what we have to face is a war."

"Before we had already sent an invitation letter to Master Lei Luo to take up the post of city lord, but the other party did not respond. It seems that the opposite must be the case." Another minister next to him also said.

"But our soldiers are all on the front line of Costadi now. Even if they come back, it will take ten days, and... it seems that they can't leave now."

"what?"

"Master Sadro sent a letter, the empire ordered the troops to follow General Hejar's troops to continue fighting..."

"What? This... How can we resist the rebellion? Could it be that this is Master Lei Luo..."

"No, it may be that the war situation on the front line is relatively severe, and the troops cannot leave. Although Master Lei Luo has some connections, it should not be able to affect this side." Cordina said.

"Okay, there's no need to discuss the reinforcements that can't arrive." Ye Junwen also said at this time, "Let me tell you first, how many people are there on the other side, and how many people are we?"

"This... How many troops does Lord Lei Luo have... this..." Cordina felt a little headache, as if he couldn't say a more accurate number.

"Let me tell you." At this time, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a person walked in and said to everyone.

Ye Junwen looked up, and found that the person who came in was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. His body was thin and he looked a little stunted. He had a hooked nose and a moustache. Kind, it seems that people feel a little cold.

"Lord Rosen." Cordina seemed to know the person who came in, and said a little happily.

"Who?" Ye Junwen asked in a low voice to Selena next to her, but the other party seemed to be a little distracted and didn't notice Ye Junwen's question, of course Ye Junwen couldn't call her loudly.

"My lord, let me introduce myself. My name is Fran Rosen, and I'm mainly in charge of intelligence." Rosen said to Ye Junwen on his own initiative.

"Information?" Ye Junwen probably understood that since this person is in charge of intelligence, he should be the confidant of the former city lord. After all, you don't need confidantes for intelligence personnel, so this is courting death.So this person seems to be one of the most trusted people of Clovis City Lord. The other party was not there before, maybe... on the front line?Is this from the front line?

From a normal point of view, Ye Junwen felt that the other party should know about Selena, after all, he was a confidant.Selena probably didn't know what to do with the current situation, so she was a little distracted, but judging by Rosen's attitude, the other party should have guessed something, and she didn't expose him now. Think about it, even if he objects It is impossible to expose the fact that he became the city lord on the spot now. In the current situation, telling this fact will only make Selena more passive.

So this Rosen should be very loyal to the Clovis family, and the other party may choose to cooperate with him temporarily.As for what will happen to him after the current troubles are resolved, Ye Junwen doesn't care too much, let's talk about it at that time.

"For Lei Luo, it is estimated that a total of 1000 troops can be dispatched, including 800 guards from the chamber of commerce, and 200 of his followers. These are all armed troops, and his followers are all elites. They are well-equipped, and they are basically soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and they are very capable in combat." Luo Sen ignored Ye Junwen's thoughts and continued, as if reporting, but did not look at Ye Junwen.

"On the other hand, our troops, at present...can gather about 150 people." Rosen said, "They are all reserve forces, have a certain combat effectiveness, and have complete weapons and equipment...however..."

"Are the city walls not full?" Ye Junwen nodded. Leska City is still a very big city. Ye Junwen estimates that at least 1000 troops can ensure that the entire city's defense system can operate perfectly. 150 people, really Even a city wall cannot stand up to it, let alone a defense.

Speaking of this, many ministers in the conference room also began to discuss in a low voice. The difference in combat power made them a little panicked. 1000 hits 150, can you hit it?Although it has the advantage of defending the city, the city walls are not enough to stand up, and the city defense has become a bit of a drag.

"The current situation is very serious." Interior Director Cordina continued, "Lord Rosen, our troops..."

"Can't come back." Rosen said immediately, "Unless the war on the front line is over, our troops won't come back."

"This..." Cordina frowned. Wouldn't it be okay to defend and wait for reinforcements?The war has just started for more than a month, and it is impossible to end it so soon.After thinking for a while, he said to Ye Junwen: "My lord, the enemy is strong and we are weak. Here are two suggestions. One is to organize militias. Judging from the attitude of the people before, they should still be willing to help us, relying on the advantage of numbers. , we might be able to stand with each other."

"Hmm..." Ye Junwen nodded slightly, but he didn't quite agree with the proposal of the militiamen. The combat effectiveness between real soldiers and militiamen is too different. Besides, there is no time for training now, so organize a group of undisciplined ones. The militia is really not a good idea.So Ye Junwen frowned and asked, "Another way?"

"Reinforcement, please." Cordina said, "It is reasonable and legal for the city lord to inherit the position of the city lord. Lord Lei Luo has no legitimate reason to seize the title, so in terms of law, we are on the side of justice. As long as the city lord sends the surrounding lords If you ask for help, you should be able to get some support."

Cordina was right, but it wasn't a good idea either.Although Ye Junwen is legally the legitimate heir, the problem is that the surrounding lords are not fools. Even if they want to send reinforcements, they will definitely not be in vain.Who would do such a useless thing?Another big question is... Do the surrounding lords necessarily have troops?You must know that the troops in the city here have been pulled to the front line to fight, and what about the surrounding lords, don't they need to send troops?
The other one is the issue of time. Asking for help from the nearby lords, they come and go, and they don't know if they can make it. There is no time for this negotiation.Lei Luo should also know that they might seek reinforcements, so they will definitely attack as soon as possible. Ye Junwen feels that this method is not good.

"My lord, please make a decision." Cordina couldn't think of any other way. In his opinion, hitting him head-on was courting death.

"You just said that Lei Luo has a chamber of commerce, right?" Ye Junwen asked suddenly.

"Oh?" Cordina was taken aback for a moment. Why did Ye Junwen suddenly ask about this? Didn't he know that Lei Luo had a chamber of commerce, and it was a very large chamber of commerce.However, he didn't suspect it. After all, he and Selena are not familiar with each other. The other party is not in the city all the year round. He probably doesn't know about Lei Luo's affairs. The Ken Chamber of Commerce is a well-known chamber of commerce in the northern part of the principality, and there are also in our city... By the way, should we arrest these people?"

"It's a big chamber of commerce." Ye Junwen nodded, "Then this is also the property of our Clovis family?"

"Uh..." Cordina didn't know what Ye Junwen was talking about. It was indeed the property of the Clovis family, but would they give it to you?

"If these properties are used to invite reinforcements, other lords will also act." Ye Junwen said suddenly.

"That's right." Cordina suddenly understood, "If the property of the chamber of commerce is distributed to those lords after the war..."

"But no." Ye Junwen said again suddenly.

"Huh?" Cordina was just trying to understand why Ye Junwen suddenly changed his mind again.

"How can our family's property be handed over to others casually." Ye Junwen said sonorously, "In this case, I think the only way to go is to deal with the other party head-on."

"What?" Cordina was stunned.

"It's time to show you what war is." Ye Junwen said with a smile.
