Chapter 27 Meetings

In the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Junwen held the first cabinet meeting here, but the current cabinet staff is insufficient. Most of the previous City Lord's confidant members followed him to the front line, and the people left behind were internal officials. The city lord died too suddenly, and the current situation can only be described as chaos.

There were not many people in the conference room, and most of the officials looked at Ye Junwen strangely. After the previous speech, most officials had a change in their impression of Ye Junwen, thinking that the other party should be a good lord. Although they were young, they should have made some achievements. But now they were a little suspicious in the conference room. There were two women standing behind Ye Junwen, one of them was Ye Junwen's guard, so forget it, the other... No one knows, probably the city lord's concubine? But what is the situation when you bring a woman during the meeting?

Of course, Selena's appearance has changed slightly now. She originally had short hair and looked a bit like a tomboy, but now she doesn't have to worry about her identity. She also directly wore a long black hair wig and changed into a more decent outfit. Selena was originally pretty, but her hairstyle was really strange. Now she has become much more beautiful after she turns to long hair. Of course, no one thinks that this guy is the real city lord.

Although they are a little confused about Selena, they don’t know Ye Junwen’s temper and no one asks questions. At present, they still have to deal with a lot of problems and don’t have time to care about them.

"The primary goal at present is Lord Lei Luo's side." Cordina, the chief internal affairs manager here, said first, "From the current situation, if Lord Lei Luo wants to take action, it should be in the past few days. This is the best opportunity. What we have to face is a war."

"We had already thought that Lord Lei Luo had sent an invitation letter to the city lord to take office, but the other party did not respond. It seemed that he would definitely rebel." Another minister next to him also said.

"But our soldiers are all on the front line of Costadi now. Even if we come back, it will take ten days, and... it seems that we can't leave now."

"What?"

"Mr. Sadro sent a letter, and the Empire ordered the troops to continue fighting with General Hejar's troops..."

"What? This...How do we resist the rebellion? Could it be that this is Lord Lei Luo..."

"No, it may be that the war situation on the front line is quite serious and the troops cannot leave. Although Lord Lei Luo has some connections, it should not affect this side." Cordina said.

"Okay, there is no need to discuss reinforcements that cannot be arrived." Ye Junwen also spoke at this time, "Let me talk about how many people there are on the other side and how many people we have."

"This... how many troops does Lord Lei Luo have... This..." Cordina had a headache, as if she could not say more accurate numbers.

"Let me say it." At this time, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a man walked in and said to everyone.

Ye Junwen looked up and found that what came in was a middle-aged man who looked in his fifties. He was slim and had a bit of poor development. He had a hooked nose and a mustache. His appearance looked unkind, as if he felt a little cold.

"Master Rosen." Cordina seemed to know the person who came in and seemed to be a little happy.

"Who?" Ye Junwen asked Selena next to her in a low voice, but the other party seemed a little distracted and didn't notice Ye Junwen's problem. Of course, Ye Junwen couldn't call her loudly.

"Lord, let me introduce myself. My name is Flan Rosen, who is mainly responsible for the intelligence." Rosen here took the initiative to say to Ye Junwen.

"Is intelligence?" Ye Junwen probably understood that since this person is responsible for intelligence, he should be the confidant of the former city lord. After all, you don't need to be confidant of the intelligence personnel. Isn't this asking for death? So this person seems to be one of the people that the Lord of Clovie trusts the most. Before, the other party was not here, maybe... on the front line? Is this back from the front line?

From a normal perspective, Ye Junwen felt that the other party should know Selena's affairs, after all, he was a confidant. Selena probably didn't know what to do now, so she was a little distracted. However, judging from Rosen's attitude, the other party should have guessed some of the situation and did not expose him now. Thinking about it, even if he opposed the fact that he became the city lord, it would be impossible to expose it on the spot. In the current situation, telling this fact will only make Selena more passive.

So this Rosen should be a person who is very loyal to the Cloway family. The other party may have chosen to cooperate with him temporarily. As for what will happen to him after solving the current troubles, Ye Junwen doesn't care much, so let's talk about it then.

"On Lei Luo's side, it is estimated that a total of 1,000 troops can be dispatched, including 800 guards of the Chamber of Commerce and 200 his disciples. These are all armed troops, among which his disciples are elite, not only well-equipped, but basically all soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and their combat capabilities are very strong." Luo Sen ignored Ye Junwen's thoughts and continued, as if he was reporting, but did not look at Ye Junwen's side.

"On the other side, our troops, at present... can gather about 150 people." Luosen said, "All reserves, have certain combat power, and are equipped with complete weapons and equipment... However..."

"Are you unhappy even standing in the city wall?" Ye Junwen nodded. This city of Ledeska is still a large city. Ye Junwen estimates that at least 1,000 troops can ensure that the defense system of the entire city can operate perfectly. 150 people are really unhappy even on one city wall, let alone defense.

Speaking of this, many ministers in the conference room also began to discuss in a low voice. Of course, the gap in combat power made them a little panicked. I didn’t expect there were so many people on the other side, nor did I expect there were so few people on my side. I could fight for 150 at 1,000? Although I had the advantage of defending the city, I was dissatisfied with the city wall, and the city defense became a bit dragging.

"The current situation is very serious." Cordina, the chief in the interior, took the speech and continued, "Mr. Rosen, our troops..."

"We can't come back." Rosen said immediately, "Our troops will not come back unless the war on the front ends."

"This..." Cordina frowned. Is it okay to defend and wait for reinforcements? The war has only been more than a month since its beginning, and it cannot end so soon. After thinking about it, he said to Ye Junwen: "Master Lord, the enemy is strong and I am weak at present. There are two suggestions here. One is to organize militias. Judging from the attitude of the people before, they should still be willing to help us. With the advantage of quantity, we may be able to stand with the other side."

"Well..." Ye Junwen nodded a little, but he did not agree with the proposal of militia. The combat power of real soldiers and militias is really much different. Besides, there is no time to train at all, so organizing a group of militias without discipline is really not a good idea. So Ye Junwen frowned and asked, "What about another way?"

"Please reinforcements." Cordina said, "It is reasonable and legal for the Lord of the City Lord to inherit the position of the Lord. Lord Lei Luo has no legitimate reason to seize the title. Therefore, in terms of law, we are on the justice side. As long as the Lord of the City Lord sends a message to the lords around him, he should be able to obtain some support."

Cordina was right, but this was not a good idea. Although Ye Junwen was the orthodox heir in terms of law, the problem was that the lords around him were not fools. Even if they wanted to send reinforcements, they would definitely not be in vain. Who would do the unhelpful things? Another big question is... Do the lords around must have troops? You must know that the troops in the city here have been dragged to the front line to fight, and the lords around him don't have to send troops?

Another thing is a matter of time. I asked for help from the nearby lords, and I didn’t know if I could catch up. There was no time for negotiation at all. Lei Luo should also know that they might find reinforcements, so they would definitely seize the time to attack. Ye Junwen felt that this method was not good.

"Master Lord, please make a decision." Cordina couldn't think of any other way. In his opinion, he was looking for death.

"You just said that Lei Luo has a chamber of commerce, right?" Ye Junwen asked suddenly.

"Oh?" Cordina was stunned. Why did Ye Junwen suddenly ask about this? Didn't he know that Lei Luo has a chamber of commerce, or a large chamber of commerce. But he didn't doubt it. After all, he was not familiar with Selena. The other party was not in the city for many years, probably didn't know about Lei Luo. After thinking about it, he replied, "Yes, the city lord, Lei Luo's chamber of commerce is called the Taken Chamber of commerce. It is a very famous chamber of commerce in the northern part of the Principality. There are also... By the way, do you want to arrest these people?"

"A big chamber of commerce." Ye Junwen nodded, "Then is this the property of our Cloway family?"

"Uh..." Cordina didn't know what Ye Junwen was talking about. It was indeed the property of the Cloway family, but will they give it to you?

"If you use these assets to invite reinforcements, other lords will also act." Ye Junwen said suddenly.

"Yes." Cordina suddenly understood, "If the Chamber of Commerce's property was distributed to those lords after the war..."

"However, it won't work." Ye Junwen suddenly said again.

"Oh?" Cordina was just thinking about how he suddenly changed his mind again.

"How can we hand over the property of our family to others at will?" Ye Junwen said strongly, "In this case, I think there is only one way to solve the other party directly."

"What?" Cordina was stunned.
