Recently, the addition of Yang Wei has made Zhao Jinzhong physically and mentally exhausted. I believe Qi Xieyuan must also feel the same way.

Whether they should send troops to quell the situation at this time, the key issue is that they can't figure out Yang Wei's thoughts. If Yang Wei is willing to serve Qi Xieyuan, it would be okay. If not, with Yang Wei's ability, it will not be so easy to send troops to quell the situation.

things.

Now we can only see what Qi Xieyuan thinks. Because of Yang Wei's incident, Zhao Jinzhong feels that his counselor is not so useful in Qi Xieyuan's eyes, and he is inevitably miserable in his heart.

But just as Zhao Jinzhong was thinking about it as he opened the door and left Qi Xieyuan's office, he didn't expect to see Yang Wei standing at the door as soon as he walked out.

Zhao Jinzhong's heart suddenly thumped. He didn't know why Yang Wei came here. More importantly, Zhao Jinzhong didn't know if Yang Wei had heard what he just said to Qi Xieyuan. Originally, although Zhao Jinzhong introduced Yang Wei to Qi Xieyuan

, but the real idea is to hope that Yang Wei can be used for himself. If the plan fails and Yang Wei and himself become rivals, it will be like adding more trouble to himself. Tempering Blood Mountains and Rivers 81

Zhao Jinzhong suppressed a smile and asked Yang Wei with great concern: "Commander Yang came here so early in the morning, why don't you know why?"

Yang Wei also responded respectfully with a smile on his face: "There are some things I want to report to the warlord."

These words made Zhao Jinzhong feel uncertain. Too many things had happened during this period, and he didn't know what Yang Wei was talking about. Zhao Jinzhong had a smile on his face, and his words were flattering, but his tone was the concern between colleagues, and he said warmly

: "Commander Yang has been stationed in Hangzhou recently. I don't know if he is still used to it or not. If you need anything, you can just ask it. Zhao will naturally help you wherever he can."

Yang Wei sneered, thinking that he didn't even have military pay, so why talk about helping him with all his money? Of course, Yang Wei didn't know Zhao Jinzhong's intention in these words, but the more Zhao Jinzhong wanted to test, the more Yang Wei tempted him.

Pi Xiaorou said without a smile: "A man has a home all over the world, so he is not so squeamish. Thank you very much for Councilor Zhao's concern. I just heard Councilor Zhao talking about asking the governor to send troops. I wonder where the rebels are to be quelled?"

Zhao Jinzhong's heart skipped a beat, but just looking at Yang Wei's expression, he couldn't tell how much he heard. Zhao Jinzhong hesitated and didn't know how to answer. Yang Wei laughed loudly and said, "It seems that Councilor Zhao is inconvenient to say it. Yang Wei

Let’s go in to see the governor first, and I’ll definitely pay a visit to Councilor Zhao’s house when I have some free time the next day.”

After all, he didn't say a word about Yang Wei himself. Instead, he attacked Zhao Jinzhong's army. When he saw Yang Wei pushing the door in, Zhao Jinzhong gritted his teeth in anger, which made him even more determined that he must

Determined to get rid of Yang Wei, he looked around after going out, quickly got into a car parked in the alley and drove away.

Qi Xieyuan was greatly surprised by Yang Wei's sudden visit. A few minutes ago, Zhao Jinzhong had been persuading him to send troops to quell the unrest in Hangzhou, but he did not expect that Yang Wei himself would come to his door.

Qi Xieyuan kept silent and just raised his eyes to look at Yang Wei. He wanted to hear why Yang Wei was eager to fight with Liao Huaji. This was a taboo among factions.

Although Qi Xieyuan's face was not good-looking, Yang Wei completely pretended to turn a blind eye. After saluting, he went straight to the point: "I think the military governor has heard about the detention of Brigadier Liao Huaji by his subordinates."

Qi Xieyuan, who was so forthright, said with a sullen face: "What? I heard that Commander Yang is here to take credit? Is it still reasonable to detain the brigade commander without reporting it?"

Yang Wei smiled and said: "Of course it's not reasonable. It's just that there are reasons why we have to kill it first and then report it."

Qi Xieyuan was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "Why did everything happen for a reason? I want to hear how it happened for a reason. If you can't come up with a legitimate reason, you don't want to be the Hangzhou garrison commander anymore."

Such a reaction was expected by Yang Wei. Yang Wei also saw Zhao Jinzhong just come out of the office. He had long known that Liao Huaji was Zhao Jinzhong's confidant, and he could have guessed what Zhao Jinzhong said.

. Yang Wei, who was prepared, said calmly: "Please also ask the military governor to listen to my subordinates and explain in detail."

Yang Wei unceremoniously told the truth about Liao Huaji's fake list of names, empty military pay, and misappropriation of military procurement funds. The more Qi Xieyuan listened, the uglier his face became. His fists were clenched, and veins appeared on his forehead.

.

In Qi Xieyuan's view, although Liao Huaji has no ability and is completely useless in fighting, Qi Xieyuan still thinks that he is barely loyal, but he doesn't want such a lackey to dare to withhold his military pay. After so many years, he

All the hard work of amassing money turned out to be feeding these moths.

Qi Xieyuan suppressed his anger. If he got angry at this time, it would be like slapping himself in the face. After all, Yang Wei was a newcomer. He knew that his subordinates were secretly causing trouble but he, the governor, had no idea. Wouldn't it be ridiculous?

Qi Xieyuan took two deep breaths to suppress his anger. He looked at Yang Wei coldly and said: "Even so, you should not punish Brigadier Liao privately. Now that the enemy is facing us, how can you scheming over such a thing?"

Yang Wei nodded along with Qi Xieyuan's words and said: "The warlord is right, but it is precisely because of the current enemy that we must bring this matter to the table and make it clear. Does the warlord know how many troops the provincial defense brigade has?"

Qi Xieyuan was deeply unhappy by Yang Wei's rhetorical question, and said angrily: "Are you testing my commander's understanding of his subordinates? The provincial defense brigade has eight thousand troops. I would like to ask how many troops you have under your command."

Shanhe 81

After all, the matter of the troops under his jurisdiction cannot be covered by paper. Yang Wei knew that Qi Xieyuan would find out sooner or later. Regarding this, he also bluntly said: "The strength of the troops under my command is indeed beyond the standard, but I have no evil intentions. Even if it is a conscription

Also for future combat needs, the warlord also said that the current war situation is not optimistic. I have recruited 8,000 troops, but the warlord probably doesn't know that Brigadier Liao's troops are less than half of the 8,000.

"

Qi Xieyuan was shocked and kept saying: "How is that possible! The list of soldiers and the military reimbursement list are all here, there can be no mistakes."

Yang Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hasn't the military governor thought that since Liao Huaji can apply for military supplies and weapons out of thin air, the list of soldiers must be true?"

Qi Xieyuan straightened his body and felt a little difficult to breathe. Suddenly hearing such news when he was facing a formidable enemy was enough to shock him. If Yang Wei was telling the truth, Liao Huaji's provincial defense brigade was indeed as he said.

With a force of four thousand, not to mention the money he had spent in vain over the years, with such a small force, he didn't know how to fight even this battle.

Qi Xieyuan said in a trembling voice, "Are you serious about what you said?"
