"General, I don't really need to say anything more."
"The feud between the Qian family and the Linghu family has lasted for generations."
"Now that the Linghu family has fallen, how can you be content to remain holed up in Dasanguan?"
"Leaving Dasanguan and settling in Tianyong City is the inevitable path your Qian family must take, and it is also the path you have always wanted to take."
"It's actually very simple. If I hadn't been so busy taking care of things, what would have become of your Dasanguan Pass if Youzhou had fallen in the future?"
"At that time, even if you have tens of thousands of soldiers at Dasanguan, you will not be able to hold out alone. How long can you last?"
"From this perspective, I helped you build bridges and pave the way, and assisted you in settling in Tianyong City. Isn't that a favor?"
"Think about it again. Even if Prefect Wang agrees to let you go, if you secretly lead a large army into Tianyong City, can His Majesty feel at ease?"
"If the court really investigates, do you think it will prioritize internal strife or external peace?"
“If I were the emperor, I would not hesitate to take you down first, you general who secretly led a large army into Tianyong City.”
"So what you need to do is win me over first."
Qian Mu was slightly taken aback.
In fact, Liu Feng was right. If Prefect Wang secretly submits a memorial to the court, then things will get complicated.
After all, leaving the garrison with a large army without permission is a serious crime that is considered treason.
However, if Liu Feng were there, the situation would be completely different.
Because Liu Feng has completely changed; he is no longer the arrogant private army leader who once commanded several thousand Tiger Roar soldiers.
Now that Liu Feng holds the Emperor's Sword, whatever he does or whatever he sets out to do is in fact an act on behalf of the Emperor.
"So what does General Liu mean? What does he intend for me to do?"
Qian Mu asked with a smile.
"It's very simple. Mobilize 10,000 people and station them in Tianyong City."
"Moreover, these 10,000 people must travel by day and night, and enter Tianyong City without anyone noticing."
"We must not let anyone discover any sign that a large army has entered Tianyong City."
"Also, I want command of these 10,000 men."
Qian Mu's brows furrowed even deeper.
"This is not a good situation."
Qian Mu's heart skipped a beat. Putting everything else aside, the daily expenses of this army of 10,000 were an astronomical figure. If they went openly and honestly, their food and supplies would be guaranteed by the government, and they would even have military camps to live in.
But how can it be done without anyone noticing?
This is going to be a real problem. Not to mention that hiding so many people is a huge trouble, their daily meals, sleep, and the horses' feed are all major issues.
"General, you need not worry about the food, lodging and hiding of these troops. I have my own methods."
In fact, Liu Feng had already come up with a plan, since the Linghu family's old house was vacant.
Leaving aside other places, the three warehouses in the backyard can be transformed into military camps with slight modifications. Combined with the huge grassland in the backyard, it's easy to accommodate 10,000 people.
This opportunity might also allow them to get Prefect Wang to divulge some information.
Otherwise, Liu Feng wouldn't be happy.
"If that's the case, then if war really breaks out, what will the casualties be?"
"At that time, we will also face various problems such as compensation and treatment of the wounded, and the long-term supply of food and fodder will also be a problem."
"I don't care about that."
Liu Feng refused outright, decisively and cleanly.
Qian Mu stared in surprise.
What?
Even if you don't pay the whole amount, you should at least take half. It's unacceptable for you not to pay a single penny.
Are you even human?
"Although your men have arrived in Tianyong City, their enemies are the Northern Barbarians and the Heaven and Earth Society."
"Whichever one of them was already your enemy after the Linghu family was no longer a shield."
"But the current situation is that you not only want to take away command, but you also don't want to contribute a single penny. What kind of business is this?"
"I'm being kind by not asking you for money."
"These are things that you should have been responsible for in the first place."
"General, if we let your men take command, wouldn't the casualties only be greater if problems arise and the army is at the city gates?"
Liu Feng smiled with utter contempt.
"If the General were to think about it from my perspective, wouldn't I be saving money for him?"
"But I should at least ask you for some money, otherwise it would be really inappropriate."
Qian Mu's gaze immediately fell.
Damn it.
This kid really leaves nothing but desolation wherever he goes.
The current situation is that not only did I give you an army of 10,000, but you also expect me to support that army and are even asking me for money.
"Alright, alright, let's not say any more hurtful things."
"No matter what, we're in-laws, and I'm your nephew-in-law, so I won't bother with these trivial matters."
Liu Feng waved his hand dismissively, feigning magnanimity.
"Okay, okay."
Qian Mu gritted his teeth and uttered a few words of praise.
I'm no match for Liu Feng right now.
Without An Shirong as his strategist, he was at a disadvantage in verbal exchanges.
However, this does not mean that Qian Mu was brainless.
From a broader perspective, it's quite clear whether this matter is beneficial to him or not.
But right now he has no better way to deal with it, and no other options to choose from. He has no choice but to agree.
