The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Escort food and grass?"

Peng Li asked suspiciously: "You came to Hulaoguan to take away a batch five days ago, why are you here again? And you brought so many people with you."

"It's not our Hulao Pass."

Li Zheng pointed to Lin Zhen and said: "General Zhang sent people here. The front line is short of food and grass, so send people to collect it."

"front?"

Peng Li said angrily: "Before the expedition, I, Pengcheng, provided a lot, and now I have sent so many people to ask for it?"

"At present, what is the difference between you and me?"

Li Zheng said: "It's not good for Marshal Chen to blame you for delaying the frontline battle."

Peng Li was about to say something, when Lin Zhen drove over and said coldly: "I'll give you the list of food needed later, hurry up and prepare for loading, we will leave tomorrow."

The more this attitude, the less suspicious Peng Li was.

Because he knew that the people under Chen Tang's command were so domineering.

Peng Li's complexion was a little ugly.

This Chen Tang simply treats their Peng family as a wrong person.

Pengcheng is still in charge of the Peng family, but the military power is in the hands of Chen Tang, under his control.

I figured it out, being a general of a thousand people here is just doing odd jobs.

When the war started, he didn't let himself go to the battlefield at all.

"Hurry up and get ready, let's go to the city to rest and have fun."

Lin Zhen scolded angrily: "I'm exhausted from fighting, how can I feel so comfortable like you guys."

"you……"

"Brothers, follow me into the city, drink and play."

Before Peng Li could say anything, Lin Zhen took the lead and entered through the auxiliary gate, but no one stopped him.

"General Peng, let's make arrangements."

Li Zhengdao: "I understand your mood very well, but there is no way!"

After saying that, Li Zheng caught up with Lin Zhen.

"He doesn't doubt it."

"With me here, it is impossible to doubt."

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "It's done well, follow our city guard from now on."

He was relieved to have completed the first step so easily.

This is also Wang Kang's confession before, the more domineering the performance, the better.

There are 20 people under Chen Tang's command alone. With so many people, how can they know everyone.

On the contrary, the more cautious you are, the more suspicious you will be.

"I just hope that you, my lord, can keep your promise. After the matter is over, let my son go and let us leave."

Li Zhenglow sighed, he knew that his behavior was considered treason.

But he couldn't help it either.

"Your task has been completed, rest assured, I will keep my promise."

Lin Zhen gave Li Zheng a word, and then swaggered into Pengcheng.

After that, more than a thousand people also followed in, and pretended to go out to drink and have fun, and quickly dispersed...

Chapter 666 What I learned about Pengcheng!

The influx of these soldiers did not cause much disturbance, because Pengcheng was originally a border city, and the defenders were stationed all year round, and the city residents were not surprised.

And the people brought by Lin Zhen are all disguised as Vietnamese soldiers, so they will not arouse suspicion.

What can the soldiers who return to the city after the battle do?

Of course, after eating, drinking and having fun, this is also normal.

Looking at the list of food and grass needed, Peng Li's face became more and more ugly.

This amount is not small and large.

Pengcheng was originally controlled by his Peng family, but his authority was gradually withdrawn, and he was only in charge of political affairs, not military affairs.

But food, grass, and military expenditures all come from here.

Since Chen Tang was stationed at the border, they have basically been supporting all kinds of needs.

Even including the food and grass needed for Hulao Pass, it was them.

For such a large expenditure, it is difficult to make up for it even if it comes from taxes, but it is very urgent. Most of the time, it is their Peng family who makes up for it.

For so many years, it has been like this, even if their family is well-off, it has gradually worn down, become decadent, and their strength is not as good as before.

"damn it."

Peng Li is from the Peng family, even if he is serving in the army, he must be thinking of the Peng family.

He wished he could tear up the list.

"Hey, Emperor Zhao implemented a new policy and punished established nobles. Isn't it the case in our Yue Kingdom?"

A middle-aged man beside Peng Li said, "It must be His Majesty's order for Chen Tang to do this."

Peng Li said angrily: "Do we have to squeeze the blood out of our Peng family before we give up?"

"Hey, don't talk about it, I'll go get ready. This is a war period, and state affairs are the most important thing!"

The middle-aged man sighed lowly...
