Chapter 72 Stay for a few days
Chen Yi and General Zhang had just entered the city and settled down. After they settled down, Chen Yi found General Zhang.

"What? You want to stay here for a few days, this..."

General Zhang looked at Chen Yi in surprise, and didn't know how to refuse for a moment. General Zhang felt that Chen Yi should not be the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between black and white.

But now that the border war is urgent, they will waste two or three days, and the border soldiers will suffer for two or three more days, so General Zhang really has no way to convince himself.

Chen Yi said to General Zhang with a comforting smile.

"Ping An, I know what you think in your heart. I am also for the soldiers at the border. Otherwise, you leave a bunch of people for me. You set off first, and I will chase you afterward."

General Zhang was stunned for a moment. Hearing what Chen Yi said, he knew in his heart that this matter should be done.

Naturally, his curiosity was aroused, and he asked directly: "Zi Shang, what exactly are you talking about staying here for two or three days? If it is really justifiable, then there is no need to be so."

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, and lowered his voice: "I'm here to buy food."

It was only then that General Zhang realized that it was true. This is a famous granary, and there are grain stores everywhere. It is the most suitable place to buy grain, but why should he be so cautious?

"Buy food? Then you can leave after buying it. Why do you have to stay for two or three days?"

Chen Yi sighed, and just about to say something, he saw General Zhang on the opposite side suddenly lower his voice: "Is there any special method? Or is there any special method, can't you tell me?"

Chen Yi immediately shook his head, and simply expressed his thoughts.

"You also know that I don't have much money left now. How much food can I buy with such a small amount of money? I'm afraid the food purchased with this money is not enough for the frontier soldiers to consume for half a month."

General Zhang nodded, that's true. To be honest, that little money is really not enough for anything, but will it be resolved in two or three days?

Chen Yi naturally saw the doubt on General Zhang's face.

"If I buy the cheaper ones, I can use them for a while, but it's just a drop in the bucket, so I thought, we can use other ways to get this food."

Hearing this, General Zhang's eyes lit up, he abandoned his previous doubts, and looked at Chen Yi expectantly.

"Is there really a way? What way? If this is the case, then I will order to stay here for two or three days."

Chen Yi thought it was nothing to tell him, so he said frankly: "Then let's start our journey in three days. What can we do? Of course, let these merchants willingly donate food to me."

General Zhang opened his mouth wide, with an expression of disbelief, and even looked up and down Chen Yi with unbelievable eyes.

"Zishang, although I know that you are very capable and that you dare to think and do, this matter is no joke. Even a dignified general like me cannot order these merchants. You can't do that kind of coercion. Framed things."

General Zhang said with a serious expression.

"Although we are thinking about the soldiers at the border, if this matter is reported back to the imperial capital, not only me, the general, but you, the servant, will probably lose their heads. You can't let it go!"

Chen Yi looked up blankly, he could understand every sentence General Zhang said, but together, the meaning sounded weird.

"Ah? Ping An, what are you talking about? Have you misunderstood something? Why did someone ginseng us? Why do we lose our heads? Why do we lose our heads?"

General Zhang saw that the expression on Chen Yi's face was not fake, so he doubted his guess.

Hesitantly said: "Aren't you going to use force to force the sale?"

Chen Yi burst out laughing directly, and understood why General Zhang was so nervous just now. He could understand it after thinking about it. Now that they have a lot of troops in their hands, if they use a tough posture to suppress them with their identity.

It is not impossible to buy large quantities of grain at a low price, but for their status, it will be infamous, and it is really easy to lose their lives.

General Zhang watched, Chen Yi laughed so happily, he naturally realized that he had really misunderstood, General Zhang did not feel that he was being ridiculed but breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not what he thinks it is.

After Chen Yi laughed, he straightened his face, then quietly approached, and hooked his fingers towards General Zhang.

Then he silently stated his plan, of course it was just a general idea, and specific matters still need to be resolved in detail, but even this general idea was enough to make General Zhang's eyes shine.

With a look of surprise on his face, he said: "Great! Zishang, it would be great if it is really like what you said, but I am still a little worried. Will those businessmen really be like what you said?"

Chen Yi nodded, but did not immediately refute.

"Yeah, I have the same worry, so I want to wait two or three days to investigate and make a thorough plan."

Only then did General Zhang understand the cause and effect, and patted himself on the chest.

"Don't worry, as long as I can help, just ask, and I will fully cooperate. If this thing really happens, it will really be a great achievement."

Chen Yi didn't care, and waved his hand.

"I'm just a commoner, a pure civil servant, and I can't go out to kill the enemy. That's all I can do to help the soldiers. It's not a great achievement, it should be done."

Just as General Zhang wanted to refute, Chen Yi immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"When you go to the battlefield to defend your home and country, you are fighting with your life to ensure the integrity of your homeland, stability and peace, and I just use my words to make them eat better, but it may not be able to keep them safe forever. , I'm really nothing."

General Zhang was a little moved.

There had never been a moment when he felt so proud to be a soldier.

Unexpectedly, in this world, there will be people who treat them like this, they are the umbrellas, they think their contributions are great, and they don't look down on them, thinking that they are all bastards and inferior people.

How could General Zhang not be moved?
If you want to talk about General Zhang, have these generals ever been disappointed with Dawu Kingdom?

It would be impossible to pat their chests and say that they are not disappointed, or even say that they have been disappointed, and it can even be said to be numb by now.

But it is absolutely impossible for them to give up the country and surrender.

The moment they put on the battle armor, their relatives are behind them, even if they are relatives who let themselves down, they will not allow others to trample and insult at will.

They must go forward against the enemy and leave a piece of pure land for their country.

Defending the family and the country is a belief engraved in the bones.
