Chapter 2112: Still a Little Scared
Shao Yunduan could think of this, and Jia Heming and others also thought of it, and they were all angry and worried.
Shao Yunduan still insisted: "I will go with the general first. I am the one who makes all the decisions in Anze Prefecture. No matter what General Sun wants to know, I can explain it clearly! There is no need for others to do so. The general does not need to say more about this matter. When we arrive in the provincial capital, I will explain it to General Sun myself! If General Sun still insists on letting Jia Zhoucheng and the others go, then we can talk about it then."
"As the governor of Anze Prefecture, I must be responsible for the people here. If everyone leaves, who will take charge? I hope the general will be flexible!"
Sun Meng subconsciously opened his mouth to say yes, but when he came to his senses, he was furious. He glared at Shao Yunduan fiercely and said in a rough voice: "No! I don't care about other things! I only know that what our general says is the truth! I only listen to our general! What else has nothing to do with me? Even if the sky falls, so what!"
"General—"
"Shut up!" Sun Meng interrupted Shao Yunduan impatiently and waved his hand: "It's settled, Master Shao, no matter what excuses you make, it's useless! You can't seduce me."
After all, he was still a little afraid to talk to Shao Yunduan.
This person is just as Captain Li said, too cunning and too sinister! If you are not careful, you will fall into his trap.
The more this happened, the more Sun Meng believed Captain Li's words, and the more he thought Shao Yunduan seemed to have bad intentions and wanted to rebel.
He was still thinking about the food, so he added, "Master Shao, please ask someone to prepare the food quickly. Don't forget to take it away in three days. One hundred thousand dan, not a single dan less."
"This is also an opportunity for Lord Shao to show his loyalty. Lord Shao must know better than me how important this is, right?"
If it were someone else, they would have taken the initiative to show their loyalty to their general, unlike him who was reluctant to do so.
Who would believe that this person has no ulterior motives...
Shao Yunduan took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Those grains don't belong to Anzezhou."
"What?"
"It's from the Northwestern Army."
Shao Yunduan originally didn't want to talk about this, but this person was adamant and he didn't know where he got such stubbornness and rigidity from, so he had to talk about it even if he didn't want to.
"There is a young general in the Northwest Army who is my brother. He came here before and asked me to help buy food. The food was stored for them. It won't be long before someone from the Northwest Army will come to transport the food. The border is not peaceful right now. The Northern Hu have joined forces with several small tribes outside the Great Wall and are ready to make a move. The food is actually military rations and cannot be lost. It is definitely not something I can touch."
"I will not embarrass the general on this matter. When we get to the provincial capital, I will explain it to General Sun."
No matter how fiercely and chaotically the three princes fight for the throne, I think no one wants the border to be breached and invaded by the Northern Hu, right?
The affairs of the Northwest Army are the affairs of these three parties.
It would be good enough if the Northwest Army did not ask them for money and food. If they continue to rob the Northwest Army's rations, the people of Daqin will curse them to death and they will lose the support of the people.
If the person here was the Second Prince himself, or one of his insightful officials and aides, Shao Yunduan would surely let the matter go after he had said so and offered the opportunity to back out.
But how could Sun Meng have such insight?
He doesn't understand anything, but he knows how to stick to one thing, which is that Shao Yunduan is too cunning and insidious, and his words must not be believed!
