Li You led a large army to guard Puban, Zhang Liao and Tian Chou and took their personal soldiers to Yanyi to meet Lu Ning and others. Lu Ning now lives in Yanyi in Yuanweigu's courtyard, while Fan Xian's courtyard was occupied by Zhang Ji, and now he became Zhang Ji's prefect's residence, where Zhang Ji handles internal affairs all day.

After seeing Zhang Liao and Tian Chou and the others, Lu Ning said to them: "Third brother, Zitai, your speed is too fast. My army has not completed the mission yet."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Brother, we are still afraid that those who run behind you. If we had known this, our army would have been a little slower. Now the soldiers are very tired. Of course, the morale of the soldiers is indeed very high. After all, our army has quite abundant materials this time."

Lu Ning said: "Looking at the battle report you sent, I know that you have been going smoothly all the way. I'm not very low all the way. You should see it when you come in. Such a small city has a height of five meters. Various defense measures are very complete, and its defense ability is equivalent to a medium-sized city. This has cost my army some effort."

After hearing this, Tian Chou said, "Lord, will our army suffer a lot?"

Dian Wei continued: "Zi Tai, in order to defeat this small city, our army lost more than 500 soldiers, and of course the capture was very abundant. The food alone was as high as 150,000 dan, not to mention the others."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao stretched out his tongue and said, "Be good, there are more than 150,000 dans of food alone, so I don't know how much gold, silver and other supplies will be. It seems that Lao Dian, Lao Gao and others are making a fortune."

Zhang Liao glanced at Dian Wei and said with a smile: "Lao Dian, then you and Lao Gao are afraid that they will release some blood. You have to eat all the meat. You must show us a little bit. At least you have to treat us to a little bone soup. Otherwise, once you return to Jinyang, you will still feel more distressed by that time."

Everyone laughed after hearing Zhang Liao's words, while Dian Wei laughed foolishly.

When he heard that he wanted to invite Zhang Liao and the others to have a soup, Dian Wei glared and said, "Wenyuan, you kid want to steal people. I heard that you have won all the way and are so rich that you are about to get oil. I have not yet caused you trouble for you. Come and rob me first. Lao Gao said that you have eliminated Hu Cai and other local tyrants and other bad gentry, and they have seized some gold, silver, silk and other items."

Everyone laughed even more. After hearing this, Zhang Liao said angrily: "Lao Dian, don't mention Lao Gao anymore. Lao Gao is the most unrighteous. We finally got some bones, but when we were about to reach out to grab them, Lao Gao came to snatch them. When I thought of this, I was depressed. Why did Lao Gao run to our place? He even snatched the bones we saw were about to get."

After hearing this, Dian Wei burst into laughter. Everyone was already laughing out loud by the conversation between them.

Dian Wei said: "Old Gao did a good job and grabbed it well. After Lao Gao came back, he told me about this matter. I was so happy at that time. We finally let that boy Wenyuan suffer a loss, so that he could not show off his power all day long. He should have a good suppression of his spirit."

When Zhang Liao heard this, Lao Dian, what are you talking nonsense? I, Zhang Liao, have shown off many powerful forces. This is not that you, old guy, are afraid of bleeding, and arrange such lies to fool us. Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, shook his head, and did not speak again. He knew that it was difficult for the primary and secondary to make Dian Wei bleeding, so he could only ask Gao Shun for trouble. Who told him to steal our credit? This is to make him compensate.

After everyone laughed, Tian Chou said, "Lord, Wen Yuan and I just came into the city and discovered that such a small city had built such a high city wall and widened and thickened. There were female walls everywhere on the city walls and arrow towers. This cost a lot of money. This is not something that ordinary small towns can build. There are so many rich people in this place."

After hearing this, Zhang laughed and said, "Zi Tai, this city was built by Wei Gu and Fan Xian. They are both big salt merchants. The Wei family and Fan family control more than 80% of the salt ponds in Yanyi. They don't have to pay taxes. The mining of salt is like minting coins. They are so rich that they are all over their bodies. Look at the place where the lord lives now. This is the house of the Wei Gu family. Even in Jinyang City, the lord lives in the garden of Yuan Dingyuan. The scale, construction area, and luxury are comparable to that of Wei Gu. I think even the emperor's back garden may not be so magnificent. Also, my current temporary prefect is also the house of Fan Xian in the Fan family. Although it is a little worse than here, it is also extremely luxurious. The houses of other big clans in the city are also large in scale and the houses are magnificent."

After hearing this, Dian Wei continued Zhang Ji's words: "We have also the Wei Kai family, the late Wei Zhong Taoist family and other houses. Although we have never been in there, from the outside, the scale and construction area are even greater than the place where the lord lives now. It is estimated that the luxury inside will not be worse, and maybe it will be even more magnificent."

Tian Chou smiled and said, "Derong, you are now controlling the lifelines of Si, Yong, Liang, and other places. These places will have to listen to you in the future. If you are not obedient, you can deal with them at any time."

When Zhang Ji heard this, Damn, Tian Chou also wants me to bleed. What I control, can I control it? This is not the lord’s final decision, I am just a worker. Zhang Ji glared at Tian Chou and said, "Zi Tai, what you said is wrong. It is not my control, it is the lord’s control. The lord told me to go east. Can’t I dare to go west? But in general, it is a good thing for us. After all, we hold the lifeline of these places."

After hearing this, Tian Chou laughed loudly and said, "Derong, you are in charge of such a potential place now. In less than a few years, Hedong will surely be rich in the county. Do you still care about asking us to have a meal? You are too much of that? Besides, if you invite us a few more times now, it will be beneficial to you. Once you have any difficulties, think about it, can those here still not help you? We will always remember your kind hospitality."

Zhang Ji shook his head, "Aren't you blatantly robbing? You're still talking openly. Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that if I don't let me go, no one will let me go, so I'll just say it."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll invite you tonight. Don't make things difficult for Derong anymore. He is complaining to me all day long, saying that he has no extraordinary people and no money. Anyi is still in ruins now."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "Brother, you are not wrong, then Anyi is the location of the Hedong County Government Office, how could it be a ruin? What are you kidding?"
