When they heard that food was coming, the people who had just said they were leaving stopped leaving and followed Li Feng to the city gate.

Outside the city, Wei Ze was riding on a horse, looking very heroic. Behind him were piles of gold, silver and jewels like a hill, as well as rows of grain in small carts next to him, as well as several livestock.

Li Feng was overjoyed and went out of the city to greet him personally: "General Wei saved my Youzhou."

Wei Ze clasped his hands as an archer and said, "Your Majesty, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command. Erlong Mountain has been captured by the last general, and more than a thousand bandits have been wiped out. It's a pity that the three bandit leaders saw that the situation was not good and fled far away, but all the materials for the cottage were seized."

Li Feng was even more happy, holding Wei Ze's hand and welcoming him into Youzhou.

The gold, silver and jewelry behind were escorted by soldiers and pulled into the city under the expectant eyes of the people.

In front, Li Feng asked Wei Ze in a low voice: "How much food is there in total?"

"Less than five thousand stones."

Li Feng had another headache. There were now 140,000 people in Youzhou City. Even if they ate eight taels a day, they would consume more than a thousand shi of food a day. This food could only last for five days.

After five days, if there is still no news from Fang Cheng, the people will have to run away again.

The two returned to the palace. Wei Ze looked at the table and quilts placed at the door and was very puzzled.

Liu Ji explained it once, and Wei Ze was sincerely convinced: "Your Majesty, this plan is very clever. I will admire you from the bottom of my heart."

Li Feng laughed and said, "Who did you learn this from? If you can't flatter me, don't do it. Liu Ji, ask someone to take the things in and stop showing them off."

Liu Ji didn't understand: "Prince?"

"If these things are still here, the people will think that we still don't have enough food and people's hearts are still unstable. Bring them in and tell them that the food is enough, and I don't have to share the joys and sorrows with them."

Liu Ji admired Li Feng to the core. This prince was simply a genius.

Wei Ze also admired Li Feng very much, but he was still a little curious as to why this prince had such a bad reputation in the past.

After entering the study, Li Feng asked: "What is the specific situation of suppressing bandits?"

"After the defense of Youzhou, the three mountains went back separately. Erlong Mountain suffered the heaviest losses. I led the troops to raid, but they ran away without much resistance. I guess they were heading to Peach Blossom Mountain."

"There are two leaders in Peach Blossom Mountain, Yang Ning from Upper Jiutian and Liu Dao from Lower Jiuyin. Now there are three more leaders from Erlong Mountain. It will be even more difficult to eliminate them."

Li Feng smiled and said: "You are wrong, it will be easier to eliminate them this way."

Wei Ze was puzzled and asked Li Feng the reason.

Li Feng commanded the defense of Youzhou last time and was beaten badly. He wanted to take revenge. He looked at Wei Ze and smiled mysteriously.

"General Wei, how about we make a bet?"

"What to bet on?"

"I bet we can take Peach Blossom Mountain without any bloodshed."

Wei Ze shook his head repeatedly, thinking that he had just praised Li Fengtian in his heart for being a genius, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. This prince might have gone crazy.

"General Wei doesn't believe it?"

"Cholera has been in Youzhou for a long time in Sanshan, and those who fall into the trap are cruel and ruthless people. It is not so easy to surrender."

Li Feng smiled treacherously: "If I lose, the three million in the treasury will be exchanged for silver, and General Wei can take away one million taels."

"If I win, how about General Wei doing a little trick and leaving me a hundred veterans?"

Wei Ze was shocked. It turned out that Li Feng had this idea. Not to mention a hundred veterans, even one veteran was not something he could leave without authorization.

Once this kind of thing is found out, his life will be lost.

"My lord, please don't make jokes."

"Let's do this. If I lose, I will give you one million taels. If I win, how about I buy you a hundred veterans for one million taels. You can discuss this matter with Liang Feiyang."

"What does the prince want a hundred veterans to do?"

Li Feng said: "Youzhou City was originally supposed to have a thousand garrison troops, but the former governor Huang Xian's body was left alone. During the defense war of Youzhou, there were only 600 old soldiers, and now there are even more casualties."

"I need to retrain new guards to avoid the situation like the Youzhou Defense War from happening again."

The reason made sense, but Wei Ze said he still wanted to go back and talk to the guardian envoy.

"No problem, then without further ado, let's set off now."

Wei Ze was shocked: "Your Highness wants to go there in person?"

"Since it is a bet, of course I have to be present in person. During my absence, Liu Ji will be responsible for the government affairs of Youzhou City, and the military affairs will be temporarily handed over to Zhang Shoulin. Nothing will happen in a few days."

"Your Majesty, I am worried about your safety."

Li Feng smiled slightly: "We have already fought the Youzhou defense battle, are you still afraid of this?"

Wei Ze knew that he could not persuade him, so he had no choice but to agree.

The army had Wei Ze to reorganize, and Li Feng called Liu Ji and Zhang Shoulin, who was still recovering from his injuries.

"I'm going out for a few days, Liu Ji. You will be responsible for the government affairs these days. You must appease the people's emotions. You must also write down the policy of dividing one person into one mu as soon as possible."

"Zhang Shoulin, you will be responsible for the military affairs. There should be no more bandits attacking the city in the near future. You need to pay attention to the security of the city, especially the granary. You must personally guard it and there must be no mistakes."

Liu Ji and Zhang Shoulin looked at each other and saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes. One of them was originally a small sixth-grade official, and the other was just an ordinary guard. After following Li Feng, they reached their peak so quickly.

"Also, keep an eye on Zhao Kang in the cell and don't let him come into contact with the outside world. That man named Xie Zhixin, if he comes to ask for an official on his own initiative, let him start with paperwork to sharpen his temperament."

The two knelt down to receive the order.

After Li Feng ordered the two of them, he rode to the temporary military camp outside the city.

Wei Ze had already counted the number of people. When he arrived, there were 2,000 people. He lost about ten people in the extermination of Erlong Mountain, leaving more than 1,900 people.

Although Li Feng had experience in commanding the defense of Youzhou, Wei Ze was more professional in marching and fighting. Li Feng asked everyone to follow his command and always pay attention to how marching and fighting were arranged in ancient times.

The cavalry's charging speed is very fast, but its marching speed is not fast.

Li Feng was riding on the horse, as if he was out for fun.

After walking for a long time, two fast horses came back from the front, said a few words to Wei Ze and then left.

Wei Ze came to the position of the Chinese army and reported: "Your Majesty, please report from the scouting horse. Peach Blossom Mountain is not long ahead. No sentries were found along the way. You can move forward with confidence."

"Then hurry up and go there. I can't wait to see what Peach Blossom Mountain looks like. I hope the mountain will live up to its name and be full of peach blossoms."

Wei Zexin said that King You's reputation for being mediocre was not for nothing. It was almost autumn now and the peach blossoms had faded long ago. Where did the mountains full of peach blossoms come from?

The army advanced rapidly, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder.

When they were approaching Peach Blossom Mountain, Li Feng asked the army to dismount and stop and set up camp for cooking.

Wei Ze was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to attack?"

"I said, take Taohuashan without any blood. Send a few people over and shout to them, saying that we are here for the three leaders of Erlongshan this time, and we want Taohuashan to hand over their people."

After hearing this, Wei Ze's expression was surprised at first, but soon became distorted by shock.
