Tongzhou, the headquarters of the Liangzhong Army.

Zhao Donglei, the old master of Zhao, who had just recovered from a serious illness, staggered into Congliang's central army lobby. The iron head in front of the crutch hit the ground, making a crisp sound. Zhao Donglei's eyes were dizzy and his skin was relaxed. He had to stop and pant any step, as if he could fall down at any time.

In Tongzhou, some people may not give Zhao Gang face, but they cannot give Zhao Donglei face. After returning from Liang, they heard that Zhao Donglei was sick, so they sent someone to express their earnest concern. Now that Mr. Zhao has recovered from his illness, it is reasonable to come and thank him personally.

In the lobby, Cong Liang was in the middle, and Xiao Zhongze and others sat on their sides, but there was no smile on their faces. Zhao Donglei's reputation was too famous. He had been so overwhelming that he could not breathe in breath. He finally took the opportunity to knock Zhao down in one fell swoop. But it was hard to say that this old thing was not dead. Seeing his trembling appearance, he could fall down at any time. While Xiao Zhongze was happy, he was also cautious. He was still looking like this, and he was still standing tall and struggling to death.

How could it be so easy? Xiao Zhongze sneered in his heart. It is not my Xiao clan, the Cao clan, and Wang clan were staring at the eyes. How could the fat meat in his mouth be spit out? Congliang didn't understand this principle. What else can the Zhao family have to rely on? In addition to being a fat pig, what else can we use to borrow? The Zhao family is more worthy of relying on by the Zhao family, the Xiao family, the Cao family, and the Wang family. It goes without saying that he will not feel unhappy. What's more, Congliang is now controlling the army and has no money in his hands. He is also panicked. Having food in his hands is not something to talk about for an army.

Seeing Zhao Donglei appear at the door of the lobby, Congliang stood up and walked out from behind the desk. Following Congliang's footsteps, everyone in the lobby stood up.

"The grass-roots have seen the general of the country!" Zhao Donglei looked up at Congliang, bent his knees and was about to kneel down to salute. Congliang took a few steps forward and supported Zhao Donglei, "Old Master Zhao asked, don't be too polite. Zhao Yu Guo has made contributions. Come on, prepare a chair for Mr. Zhao and serve tea!"

"Thank you, General Zhenguo!" Zhao Donglei bowed his hand and replied, "I didn't expect that General Zhenguo could still remember my Zhao family's meager achievements, and the people were grateful!"

He felt a little embarrassed. After he left Tongzhou, he received a detailed report after he came back. Xiao and others had a look of too ugly. Zhao Donglei indeed began to fight back.

"The old man asked him to sit down. The old man said where he went. Zhao's contribution to the country was not only remembered by Congliang, but also the chief minister of the court. The concubine of the Virtue was also clear. As far as I know, the court is preparing to reward Zhao!" Congliang made a promise first, but it didn't matter anyway. If Zhao wanted it, it would be easy for him to make him a little bit.

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Donglei's face showed a little smile, and the fleshy folds squeezed together seemed to have spread a little. He took a sip of the tea brought by the guards, frowned slightly, and handed the teacup to his son Zhao Gang, who had walked back to the case. "The old man almost fell ill a few days ago. General Lao was concerned and sent someone to deliver a lot of precious medicinal materials. The old man thanked him here."

Congliang smiled and said, "The power of slightest is not enough to be mentioned. In fact, I also know that there is nothing in the Zhao Mansion, but it is just a sign of my feelings. Now that foreign enemies are spying on Tongzhou, Tongzhou is in danger. I am definitely not allowed by the pillars like the old man. During the time I left Tongzhou, I heard that Mr. Zhao was such a big move. This solved my urgent needs, and it was also worthy of my intentions."

"The world is vast and people's hearts are unpredictable. People like the general, after all, there are fewer people in this world." Zhao Donglei sneered: "The general hopes that I will work for the court again when I live, but there are also many people who are afraid that the old man will kick his legs early!"

The opera meat finally came. Congliang had already prepared Zhao Donglei's move. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Where is Old Master Zhao saying this? Tongzhou, who doesn't expect Old Master Zhao to be healthy, right? Lord Xiao?"

Xiao Zhongze's face was ugly and when he saw Congliang looking over, he stood up with a smile, "The General is right. Mr. Zhao is an indispensable person in Tongzhou. Who dares to think so? Xiao can't spare him first. Mr. Zhao, the general is not here. Mr. Zhao has been busy all these days, and Mr. Xiao is really busy and has not taken time to visit the mansion. If he really shouldn't, he will be punished by the old man here!"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Zhao Donglei smiled sarcastically, "I dare not work Master Xiao to pass the mansion. If he missed official duties for this, wouldn't it be another crime for Zhao?"

Xiao Zhongze felt that he had given Zhao Donglei enough face. Seeing that Zhao Donglei was unwilling to forgive, he couldn't help but be furious. He was about to retort him, but looking at Congliang's face, he finally swallowed this breath.

Congliang looked at Zhao Donglei and said, "Old Master, don't misunderstand Lord Xiao. These days, he is really busy. Although Mr. Zhao doesn't leave his home, he knows the current situation in Tongzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that this winter is in danger. This winter is crucial to us. If we cannot effectively respond to the upcoming attack of the Zhengbei Army, we will inevitably burn our bodies. I will not hide it from Mr. Zhao. Although I, Congliang, although I have the confidence to block the Zhengbei Army, I still need the strong support of the imperial pillars like Mr. Zhao. In such a crisis, we must work together and work together."

"What a great man who works together and works together. I, Zhao Donglei, naturally did my best, just for fear that someone would be malicious," Zhao Donglei said with a smile.

"Who dares to break the table at this time, Congliang's knife is not a vegetarian." Congliang smiled and said, "Cong was so angry that he was not afraid of cutting off a few more heads!"

"Okay, well said!" The crutch hit the ground, and the ding dong sounded crisply. "As the general, the elites of our Zhao family are now in Luzhou. If you want to help the general with one arm of strength on the battlefield, you are powerless. You can only exert force yourself from other aspects, such as military capital, but the old man dared to ask, in this battle next year, will the general want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, or will you be ready to stalemate with the enemy for a long time?"

Congliang looked at Zhao Donglei, and Jiang was really old. He asked the key point in one sentence and directly revealed the victory or defeat of the battle.

"The enemy is defeated in one fell swoop. With the current strength of Tongzhou, I am really not able to catch it. I don't need to say that, the old man knows it well. Of course, it is a long-term stalemate and constantly consumes the strength of his opponents. Although our southern territory is not as strong as our opponents, we have a large population. The sixteen states in the north are said to be large in territory, but in terms of population, I am afraid that even the three southern states in our southern territory are insufficient. We have endless military replenishment and abundant supplies. As long as this battle is stalemate, we will be sure to win."

"The General said it well. I hit the old man's heart. Since it is a long-term stalemate, it requires a long-term supply of materials. I dare not say anything else. If my Zhao family is second in Tongzhou in this regard, then no one dares to be the first. Since that is the case, why should the General tolerate someone killing chickens and getting eggs? I ask for it. If my Zhao family collapses, the general wants a large amount of supplies, food, and money they want!" Zhao Donglei raised his head, and his dizzy eyes suddenly shone with a cold light.

"How do you say this?" Congliang was a little impatient. I have given you enough face, so why should you be aggressive again?

"General, I asked Zhao's family for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and millions of loads of food at one time. I also said that this was just the first wave. Even if my Zhao family has a big family, how many days can I hold on with this request? It doesn't matter if the Zhao family went bankrupt, but all the businesses and shops under the Zhao family will inevitably go bankrupt. If we collapse, what are the benefits of General Yu? Can the general be so easy to ensure logistics at that time? Since the general is going to fight a stalemate with the Northern Expedition Army, the old man thought that this battle might have to be fought for one year, two years or even longer, and five or ten years, for such a long time, if my Zhao family is safe, we can ensure that the general is in short supply!" Zhao Donglei's language was exciting and loud.

Congliang couldn't help but feel silent, and his eyes swept through the hall of Xiao, Cao, and Wang. He couldn't help but feel moved. Zhao Donglei said it was right. Now Zhao has lost his minions and has become a toothless tiger. Zhao Donglei seemed to be forced by Xiao and others to do so, so he directly complained to him. If Zhao's family really collapsed, Yu himself would really have no benefit. The business and shops of Zhao's family fell into the hands of Xiao, Wang and Cao. He wanted to give him a request to him again, but he was so humble. They were all full of wings and strong. When they really fought with him, they would be helpless. It would be better to give Zhao some support so that they could persevere. Yu and Yu were both beneficial. Now, what else could Zhao rely on him?

Thinking of this, Congliang's eyes were already lit up, and he looked at Zhao Donglei, "The old man said it well, killing a chicken to get eggs, a wise man will not do it. I was not in Tongzhou some time ago, and I was in trouble when doing things at the headquarters. I couldn't help but make mistakes. What did the old man Zhao want, why not say it directly? Congliang must support it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Zhongze, Cao, Wang and others couldn't help but look extremely ugly.

"Thank you, General. I'll tell you that over the past few days, Zhao's grain shops, shops and all kinds of businesses have been inexplicably troubled. The caravans entering and leaving Tongzhou have been investigated everywhere and suffered heavy losses. The old man hopes that the general can tell Guan that the Zhao's business can run normally. In this way, the general's logistics Zhao dare not say that it is completely safe, but Zhao must do his best."

"This is easy to say. I have given the Zhao family this right, how about it?" Congliang said with a smile.

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Donglei was overjoyed and bowed: "The son Zhao Gang, it turned out that he had been playing in the Tongzhou Prefecture Office. He had a loyal heart and a heart that could be expressed in the sky. Can the general give him another chance to serve the country?"

This requirement is a bit embarrassing. One carrot and one pit. Now the Tongzhou headquarters is dissatisfied. Zhao Gang Tathagata, how to arrange it? Congliang's eyes turned and he had an idea. "Old Master, now there are candidates for key positions in Tongzhou headquarters. Hastily substituted people, which is not conducive to government affairs. Lord Zhao Gang is also a talented person. He is wronged. He is also unwilling to do so. From someone to where he is, I wonder if Lord Zhao Gang is willing to give in?"

"As long as it is the general's order, Zhao Gang dares to follow!" Zhao Gang, behind Zhao Donglei, bowed.

"Okay, it's the position of deputy logistics manager of my Tongzhou headquarters, who is specializing in preparing food and money for our army?" Congliang said with a smile. This is a pair of poison with sugar, it depends on whether he dares to take it.
