"The eunuch still needs to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Several old men gathered in the prefect's mansion, and one of them looked at the superior and said, "General Lu said that there is only one incense stick of time to think about it, and now there is not much time left!"

"Grand Liu, if that's the case, wouldn't we have surrendered without a fight? How can we face His Majesty in the future?"

"Zhang Wan, you sounded good. It's nothing more than your Zhang family's family is in Yangcheng, and you can't bear to part with your ancestor's foundation!"

The aristocratic families in Yangcheng mainly include the Zhang, Liu, and Wan families. Except for the Zhang family, which is the main family, the rest are all clan families.Therefore, although giving up Yangcheng would be a loss for them, it would not be as serious as the Zhang family.

Although Liu Muming is the most trusted military adviser of Zhang Taishou, but because one person's surname is Zhang and the other is Liu, and the positions of the two families are different, Liu Muming is not easy to speak.

"Could Mr. Liu be willing? Although the Liu family is a separate family, they live in Yangcheng without the bondage of the main family. Apart from offering some gold and silver porcelain every year, what is the difference between you and the main family." Zhang Wan snorted softly, "lose property Don’t you think it’s okay for the land to run to my family to live under the fence in desperation?”

"It doesn't matter if I'm not willing, do you want to taste the power of the thunder that day?"

"Besides, for such a long time, His Majesty has not sent troops to rescue, so it is clear that he has abandoned Yangcheng." He said, "Your Majesty has made a gesture of handing over Yangcheng to others, so what can you and I say?"

"Can……"

"Enough!" Zhang Shen slammed the table, looked at the burning incense, and said with an ugly expression, "Open the city gate and invite General Lu to come in."

"..."

"What are you still doing, go!"

"I didn't expect that Yangcheng would be breached with such a result. It's interesting." A scholar followed Lu Feiming calmly and walked into Yangcheng through the wide-open city gate.

This scholar is Zheng Xi. His Majesty has dispatched a total of twelve scholars to take over the affairs of Yangcheng this time, and among them, Zheng Xi has been appointed the most official position. He will temporarily take over as the prefect of Yangcheng!

In the past, this kind of official position was unimaginable for a poor family. To become a prefect, one must come from a big family that has occupied this place for hundreds of years.Although it was only a temporary replacement, with such a resume, even if he was transferred after a while, his official position would not be too ugly.

But even so, Zheng Xi was still neither humble nor overbearing, just chatting with Lu Feiming one after another, while observing the situation in Yangcheng from left to right.

Lu Feiming brought only twenty soldiers and six scholars to replace the officials when he entered the city this time, which can really be called very bold.But it was precisely because of Lu Feiming's calmness and composure that those who were still a bit muttering believed in the words of the person who spoke before.

Several people were led into the prefect's mansion all the way, Zhang Shen sat in the top seat, and Zhang, Liu, and the heads of the Wan family were also among them.Several people were stunned when they heard the report from the servants that Lu Feiming had brought less than twenty soldiers with him, and even Zhang Wan couldn't help feeling: "This gentleman is definitely not an ordinary general!"

Such behavior, firstly, demonstrates the self-confidence of the Black Armor Army, and secondly, it also expresses trust in them.

Although the Black Armored Army attacked the city, they did not kill the people from the beginning to the end. Even the defenders of Yangcheng, because they had never confronted each other head-on, the number of casualties was extremely small.Fighting like this, there is a bit of ancient benevolence and righteousness. If they are not hostile, they can't help but write a few articles praising this battle.

Such a gentleman's demeanor of being neither humble nor overbearing, if they set up an ambush in the prefect city, wouldn't they be insulted by the world until they could never lift their heads up.

Zhang Shen was helpless: "Let General Zhou take away the soldiers who were ambushing outside the prefect's mansion."

Lu Feiming paused before entering the door, and tilted his head slightly as if feeling something.

Although Zheng Xi was not as sensitive to the murderous intent of soldiers as Lu Feiming was, he was naturally intelligent, and he guessed what was going on with just a little thought.

He couldn't help laughing: "I congratulate the general in advance."

"The adults are happy."

Needless to say, both of them understood that Yangcheng was completely taken down.

Ordering the rest of the soldiers to wait outside, Lu Feiming and Zheng Xi walked into the room, and the officials of the Yu and Mongolian dynasties finally met each other.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Feiming handed over the stage to Zheng Xi, and it was appropriate for him to manage the handover.

Zhang Shen looked at Zheng Xi, and first asked a family in Yangcheng what they were most concerned about: "There are three clans, Zhang, Liu, and Wan, and several small clans in Yangcheng. I wonder what your lord's plans are for these clans?"

Zheng Xi said with a smile: "We are new here and don't know anything about the affairs of Yangcheng. It would be great if you can stay here to help. Of course, if you want to leave, we will not stop you, even the clans The gold and silver wealth inside can be loaded and taken away, and we will never commit any crime.”

The few people obviously didn't expect that Zheng Xi would say such a good condition as soon as he opened his mouth, and they all looked at the general Lu Feiming.

"Master Zheng is currently taking the emperor's order, and I will also obey Lord Zheng's command to restrain the army."

Military bandits, military bandits, there is not much difference between officers and soldiers and bandits in this era.Many military officers would reward the soldiers by allowing the soldiers to burn, kill, and plunder the city for several days after breaking the city.

If Lu Feiming can really restrain the army and prevent them from arbitrarily oppressing the common people and clans in the city, it would be a blessing for Yangcheng.

Zhang Shen said with sincere emotion: "The people of Yangcheng in the next generation will thank General Lu here."

"But it's not all unconditional. If any clan wants to stay here, half of the land must be handed over to us."

"It's easy to talk about this."

They didn't expect to stay in Yangcheng from the beginning, and escaped with their family. All the land was left to Zheng Xi's disposal. Now that they allow you to stay in Yangcheng, it's just handing over half of the land, nothing more. Difficult.

"There are also a dozen or so scholars who are accompanying me, hoping to complete the handover of the prefect's government affairs within three days."

"Especially the treasury of the prefect's mansion. Nowadays, there is a severe drought, and the common people are changing their children to eat frequently. I hope that the treasury can be opened to obtain food relief..."

The conversation lasted for several hours before it ended. Lu Feiming just sat on one side with his arms folded, except for the very beginning, he never spoke.

When the two left the prefect's mansion, it was getting late, Zheng Xi said while looking at the fiery red clouds in the sky, "The general doesn't like government affairs?"

"..." Lu Feiming didn't expect Zheng Xi to see his subconscious rejection of those political affairs so easily, "I'm a general, a warrior."

"Haha, but the Lu family is also a big family." Zheng Xi smiled, "However, it's not bad, it's safe to be just a general."

It is far safer to be a general who only knows how to fight wars but not to understand government affairs, than a general who is good at fighting wars and calming the people.

Lu Feiming seemed to have sensed something when he heard Zheng Xina's suggestive words: "Suiyang, something went wrong?"

Zheng Xi raised his eyebrows, General Lu, who has always been hiding and clumsy, why didn't he pretend to be in front of him, did he know that he couldn't pretend, or was the relationship messed up?

"It's nothing?" Zheng Xi said, "Your Majesty won two big cities without bloodshed. After this battle, His Majesty's prestige will be even greater."

"We have both martial arts and martial arts. When His Majesty's reputation reaches the highest level, I'm afraid he will have to make some moves."

Zheng Xi had a good impression of Lu Feiming, so he couldn't help but remind him: "If the general is fine, it's better to restrain the family in the past few months and not cause more trouble."

"...Thank you sir for reminding me."

"There are iron mines in Yangcheng, and Dr. Ke will stay here for a while, preparing to build an arsenal."

"Here?" Lu Feiming frowned, he had never heard of it before, "Is this His Majesty's secret order?"

"Yes, although Yangcheng is too close to the Mongolian Dynasty, it is rich in minerals, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, His Majesty hesitated again and again, and decided to build an arsenal there to make weapons."

"Your Majesty hopes that the general will find a reason to keep these troops in Yangcheng to guard the arsenal."

Hearing this, Lu Feiming couldn't help laughing: "He's really plucking his hair out."

"Okay, the general agrees, but if your majesty wants soldiers, you should exchange them with weapons."

"This general can pay His Majesty on credit."

Zheng Xi: "..."

Well, it seems that the news of His Majesty exchanging IOUs with the family for food has spread outside the pass.
