Chapter 264: Xihai County Cheng Taishou's Test



"burst!!!"

"Dragon Flash!"

"Hahaha, it finally worked."

"Brother Yun, you're amazing. You mastered it in just one month."

Ma Chao's face was full of joy, he was really surprised.

You have to know that he spent half a year studying hard to master this move.

"Hehe, thanks to you. If it weren't for your guidance these days, I wouldn't have mastered it so quickly."

"Brother Yun has been so good to me, I have no way to repay him."

"Where? How about we try out the power of this move?"

"Okay, it's been so long, I'm getting a little bored. Where are we going?"

“Dunhuang!”

Fengyun's gun points to the northwest, exuding domineering power.

During this half year, Lan Yu and Zhang Yan led their men to roam freely in Xihai County.

The bandits in the area have been wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of war horses have been looted.

This basically achieved a balance for his needs for war horses.

He also ordered Zhang Yan to recruit the prisoners and expand his cavalry to 20,000.

These are the completed cavalry, and there are another 30,000 cavalry that have not yet been completed.

By then his cavalry would have reached 50,000.

Although it is nothing to other Xiliang princes.

But this is definitely a standout among players.

He was confident that no one had more cavalry than he did.

Although he did not provoke the prefect and county magistrate of Xihai County, the entire Xihai County except the area around the city was not under his control.

But there is only one Juyan City in the entire Xihai County, and the territory it can control is limited.

Compared with the vast prairie, it is too small.

What's more, the water source of the entire Xihai County is now under his control.

If Juyan City does not obey, cut off the water supply directly and make them kneel down and beg for mercy.

Fortunately, the other party has always been respectful to Ju Yanze.

He also receives a share of the water bill every month, which ensures that his burden in Juyanze is not too heavy.

Because this is where he raises horses, he is currently unable to make ends meet.

Now that he has merged the four villages in Juyanze, the population has already overflowed.

And now he just lacks an opportunity.

The opportunity is right before our eyes.

This time he was going to Juyan City to get the task from the prefect.

When they arrived at Juyan City, Ma Chao naturally went with them.

Even though Xihai County only has one regular city, there is no other way around it because the area is vast and sparsely populated.

But even so, the population of Juyan City is not large.

"Come and have a look. The best furs are only ten copper coins a piece."

"Sir, please come and take a look. This is the cheapest one."

"Oh no, thank you."

After the two stepped into the city gate, there were sparse players and NPCs on both sides of the street, either doing business or squatting to look at the goods.

"Brother Yun, I'll take you to the prefect's mansion."

Fengyun was not interested in watching the merchants shouting along the way. The two of them riding their tall horses stood out from the crowd on the street.

But this will not cause any commotion, at most it will just make some people look sideways.

His black unicorn is so eye-catching that Fengyun tries not to show it in public.

However, Ma Chao's Li Feisha is essentially still a horse, so others will only look at him with admiration at most.

The two of them galloped on the horse trail in the city and soon arrived at the city lord's mansion.

Given Fengyun’s current status, the guards didn’t dare to stop him. They bowed and stepped forward to lead the way.

When the city governor saw Fengyun, he was surprised and said:

"Could this be the famous General Fengyun?"

"It's me. It's true that hearing about Governor Cheng is worse than meeting him in person."

Speaking of this prefect Cheng, his ancestor was called Cheng Yong.

He was appointed as the prefect of Xihai County by Wang Mang. After several generations, the position of prefect returned to him.

But his reign was not as glorious as that of his ancestors.

Cheng Yong has the power of life and death in Xihai County, but he cannot even fully control his own city.

"General Fengyun, I've long heard of your great name. I wonder why you've come to see me this time?"

Prefect Cheng didn't understand Fengyundu's origins, so he asked directly.

There is nothing that cannot be said about Fengyun.

He clasped his fists and said, "Sir Cheng, I came to you this time to ask for the construction of a city. You know that my Juyan Lake has never had a city, which is a big problem for its management. Now that I have the conditions to build a city, I will apply to you, Sir."

Governor Cheng was not surprised at all. Instead, he burst into laughter.

Then he said, "I didn't expect you to come just now. According to the situation in Juyanze, you should have been able to build a city a long time ago."

"Yeah, I was thinking that adults might not let me build a city."

Cheng Taishou waved his hand quickly and said:

"No, it turns out that place has always been controlled by bandits, so I ignored it. If I knew that it was you, General, who had already taken control of Juyan Lake, I would have agreed long ago."

Feng Yun saw that he was sincere in what he said, so he said:

"So, the governor won't embarrass me anymore?"

“Here you go.”

Feng Yun really didn't expect that the other party would give it to him so easily, without even giving any conditions.

After receiving the authorization document, Fengyun clasped his fists again.

"Thank you, Lord Governor."

He was about to leave, but the other party didn't want him to leave like that.

I quickly stopped him and said:

"Wait a moment, General. I have something else I want to discuss with you."

"Speak, Governor."

"Well, I wonder if the General could do me a favor?"

Since the other party was so straightforward, Fengyun did not hesitate.

"sure."

"Great! I wonder if the General could send troops to control one of the gates of Juyan City?"

"Ah? What do you mean?"

Fengyun had some understanding of the party disputes in the city, but he did not know the actual situation in detail.

After hearing what Governor Cheng said, did the city already have a falling out?

At this time, Cheng Taishou sighed and said:

"Alas, this Juyan City has actually been controlled by the four major families in the city. Each of them has occupied a branch. I am now just a puppet in their hands."

"Ah~ If I take down one gate, won't the families in the city unite against me?"

"General, listen to me. If your men hadn't told me the truth, I wouldn't have known that Juyanze had been captured by you. These families still believe that Juyanze is still in the hands of those bandits. Even if you capture one of them, they wouldn't dare to do anything."

Fengyun nodded and said:

"Then why don't I just wipe out the four major families in the city?"

This time, Prefect Cheng did not agree with Fengyun's idea.

"This is bad. If the general takes Juyan City, he will definitely be met with a united resistance from these families. If they don't know that Juyan City has returned to the court, it's fine. If they find out, the entire Xiliang will come to besiege us."

Hearing that the other party had to be so frustrated, Fengyun thought that there was really no need to take over the four city gates.
