The old man was in a hurry.

"Sikong, look, you are anxious again!!"

Li Xiang's words "you are anxious again" almost made Yuan Feng lose his guard on the spot.

Yuan Feng's face had become gloomy, and he said to Li Xiang:

"Then tell me, General Huqi, why am I anxious again!!"

Yuan Feng's unpleasant voice resounded, and people could already hear his anger.

However, Li Xiang still had a smile on his face and said:

"In fact, fighting with the Yellow Turban Army does not require any good weapons. After all, the Yellow Turban Army is uneven. Many of them even hold axes and hoes. Our young and strong do not need such good weapons. Sharp weapons are fine. As for armor, it does not need to be very good. Leather armor is fine. You can make a set by yourself and wear it to fight."

Li Xiang no longer insisted that the young and strong people supported by various states need to be equipped with good weapons and equipment. In fact, if there are 300,000 young and strong people and 600,000 or 700,000 stones of grain, then it will be the best reward for him, Li Xiang.

Yes, it is a reward.

If he can really gather 300,000 young and strong people and 600,000 or 700,000 stones of grain, how can he, Li Xiang, swallow it into his stomach.

Yuan Feng and the surrounding noble families heard that Li Xiang did not ask for more, and breathed a sigh of relief, but they still frowned.

Li Xiang said it was easy, but it was not so easy to raise 300,000 young men and 600,000 to 700,000 shi of grain.

"How about it, all the nobles, you are the representatives of the noble families, what do you mean?"

Li Xiang turned his eyes to Yang Ci, Yuan Feng, Wang Yun and other noble family representatives and asked with a smile.

Yang Ci, Yuan Feng, Wang Yun and other noble family heads and representatives also started to discuss.

Seeing this, Li Xiang did not interrupt.

After a discussion, Yang Ci stood up and said to Li Xiang:

"What do the noble families think, General Huoqi, is this too much?"

The representatives of the noble families also said to Li Xiang in unison:

"Yes, General Huoqi, this is too much."

"General Huoqi, so many things are too much for our noble families to bear. After all, the Yellow Turbans are rampant and we have suffered heavy losses."

...

Li Xiang shook his head and said to the noble families:

"Masters, it is not that I want your young and strong men and food. The truth is, if we are not fully prepared for the Yellow Turbans and are defeated again, the consequences will be disastrous."

"In addition, whether it is young and strong men or food, there are not many. If the noble families of a county are unwilling to contribute even 300 young and strong men and 600 stones of food, then I can do nothing."

Li Xiang refused without hesitation.

In fact, it was precisely because of this account for these noble families that Li Xiang suddenly realized how powerful the noble families of the Han Dynasty were.

Three hundred young men in a county?

No, if they really exerted their strength, let alone three hundred young men, even 1,500 young men could be gathered by the noble families of a county.

If a county can gather 1,500 young men, then a county can at least gather 15,000 young men, and a state, that is more than 100,000. A big Han, a million troops, isn't that a very easy thing?

If you don't bite the noble families now, when will you bite them!

In the hall, Li Xiang flatly refused, making the noble families look unhappy.

Liu Hong, who was at the top, snorted coldly at this time:

"It's time, and you are still hesitating to raise 300 young men and 600 stones of grain for a county. I think you want to watch the Yellow Turbans wreak havoc."

Liu Hong shouted coldly, making the faces of the noble family heads change.

Liu Hong's face looked very ugly at this time.

After Li Xiang's calculation, Liu Hong suddenly found that the power of the world's aristocratic families seemed to be very huge.

Hundreds of thousands of young and strong men, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, could be taken out at will, but after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, these aristocratic families shamelessly asked Liu Hong for help.

In order to quell the Yellow Turbans, Liu Hong took out all the small treasury, and now, a group of aristocratic families are still dragging their feet.

How could Liu Hong not be angry and angry.

He felt that he was deceived.

"Peng!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Liu Hong slammed the table and said loudly:

"If you don't want to, then let the Yellow Turbans go, and the general of the cavalry can protect the eight passes of Luoyang for me!"

After saying that, Liu Hong did not hesitate and left directly, leaving a group of dumbfounded aristocratic family heads on the spot.

Liu Hong said

, if they are unwilling to gather what Li Xiang asked for, then the Yellow Turbans will let them go?

Just let Li Xiang protect the eight passes of Luoyang?

Wow!

The heads of the noble families were dumbfounded and in an uproar.

Li Xiang didn't understand why Liu Hong suddenly exploded, but there was no doubt that Liu Hong was giving him a strong assist.

"You all heard that His Majesty was very dissatisfied. Just let this general sit in the eight passes of Luoyang and don't let the Yellow Turbans enter Luoyang."

Li Xiang didn't smile, didn't gloat over their misfortune, but said calmly.

However, Li Xiang's words made the heads of the noble families completely exploded.
