Chapter 80: It's a War!
"Then Lord Wen and General Wang, what are you going to do now?" Liu Xian did not express his opinion immediately, but asked them first.
"What else can I do? In the entire Yang County, Yang Jie has the final say. If it is said that General Huangfu did not appoint Yang Jie as the county commander, it would be easier to do. But now, he has appointed all the officials in Yang's county, large and small, all of whom wear the same pants as him. They didn't think about the lives of those ordinary people in Yang's County at all, they just thought about how to make more money by using the food in their hands. No matter how much I tried to persuade them, I tried to analyze them, but they just wouldn't listen. insisted that they did not steal or rob, and they did not corrupt the government and the people for a dime. They just sold their things, even if the price was a little higher, but they didn't force the people to buy them. ”
Wen Shen said, looking quite angry, raised his hand and wanted to pat the table, but helplessly grabbed the tea on the table with one hand, regardless of whether it was hot or cold, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Alas, it's a pity that I'm only a nominal county lieutenant, and I can't mobilize other people in Yang County at all. What is annoying is that Yang Jie appointed another county lieutenant, and the original people of Yang's County were all led by that county lieutenant. And I only have a team of people brought by General Huangfu to Wang. In the past two or three days, I have only recruited about 30 more people, and there are only about 80 people in total. Nothing can be done but to defend a gate. Wang Bao also sighed.
Wen Shen let out a sigh, and then Wang Bao's words: "I plan to persuade again, but it really can't work, Wen can only go to General Huangfu Song to report the truth of Yang's County, and let General Huangfu appoint the county commander of Yang's County separately, and other officials will have to be replaced." Otherwise, there would be no way to carry out the work in Yangshi County. ”
"Lord Wen, when the time comes, I, Wang Bao, together with you, will definitely explain the situation of Yang's County to General Huangfu, and I must ask General Huangfu to withdraw this inactive county order!"
Wang Bao also supports Wen Shen, he was originally just a Du Bo, in the officialdom, he is really a junior brother, he doesn't know how to deal with many things, and everything will only be based on Wen Shen's opinion.
Liu Xian toasted the two of them again, took a sip and said, "Lord Wen, General Wang, if you say that this is what you plan, then it will be too disappointing." ”
"First!" Liu Xian said two words heavily, and then said loudly: "Master Wen, you have said it yourself, there are people starving to death in Yangshi County every day. What does this mean? It shows that Yangshi County has reached a kind of critical time. You can wait, you can slowly persuade the county magistrate to persuade him to be kind and bring down the price of grain and rice. If it doesn't work, you can also go back to General Huangfu Song to report the truth, remove Yang Jie, and send another county order to govern Yang's County. No matter what, it seems that Lord Wen and General Wang do not have much influence. It's a big deal, you don't have to come to Yang's County, you can continue to follow General Huangfu Song, especially General Wang, and you can also watch General Huangfu Song fight on the battlefield, even if he is still a captain. But what about the people of Yang's County? Can they afford to wait? This may be ten days and a half months, and then the new county commander arrives, how long will it take to pay attention to them? Every extra day of waiting is equivalent to the death of more people. Think about it, those are people who are starving to death! You are like this, so that more than 10,000 people in Yangshi County are in dire straits, how do the people think of you? You yourself said, how disappointed are you to the more than 10,000 people in Yangshi County? ”
"Second! General Huangfu Song will certainly be disappointed with you. Why did General Huangfu send you to Yangshi County? Is there really no one to send but you? I believe that General Huangfu Song sent you here to let you solve the problem, not to let you come and complain to him if you can't solve the problem. If my guess is correct, General Huangfu is sure that he will have every opportunity now, as the pastor of Jizhou, how many counties are there in the entire Jizhou? How many counties do he need to worry about governance? What's more, I think the focus of General Huangfu Song should be how to continue to attack the Yellow Turban Army that has not yet been cleared in various parts of Jizhou. Therefore, he is likely to quickly put aside his political affairs and lead the imperial army to attack those Yellow Turban troops in the north of Jizhou to regain the lost territory. You say that you can't even govern a county, you can't suppress it, what's the use of you? ”
"Third ......"
"Enough!" Wen Shen shouted angrily, blushing and saying with a red neck: "Wen came here to hear from you if you have any ideas that can change the current situation in Yang's County. It's not for you to count the officials. What's more, if you really want to talk about it, you are not qualified to be so unofficial. ”
On the other side, Wang Bao also blushed, panting, and staring at Liu Xian with some unkind expressions.
"Thirdly, Ben Gongzi, I am also disappointed in you!" Liu Xian was completely unafraid of Wen Shen's angry shouts and Wang Bao's angry eyes. Moving on to the third point.
"Boy Liu Xian, is this your contempt and insult to General Ben?" Wang Bao slowly stood up.
"Cut!" Liu Xian said disdainfully: "What about despising you? Don't look at my young age, but you? Not my opponent yet. If you want to listen to my thoughts, sit down for Ben Gongzi, if Ben Gongzi is not right, we can practice for a while, and Ben Gongzi will convince you! ”
"Good! Then the official wants to see what you can say, if you don't satisfy the official, the official will definitely punish you for the crime of deceiving the official! Wen Shen pressed Wang Bao's hand, asked him to sit down, and then looked at Liu Xiandao coldly.
"What is the world now?" Liu Xian stood up, spread his hands and said: "The Yellow Turban riot, the world is in chaos, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living. Do you think that it is a very easy thing for General Huangfu Song to send you to Yangshi County? Let's read out the appointment order, and then you will be officials, and you can do what you want according to the rules and regulations of the Han Dynasty as before. ”
"Humph! I really think wrong about your heart! Liu Xian pointed at Wen Shen unceremoniously and said: "Tell you, General Huangfu Song sent you here, not to let you be your county governor and county lieutenant in comfort." but you were sent to fight a war. It's a war! Got it? From the moment you came to Yang County, your war began. It's just that you don't realize it. ”
"The way of the world now is a war between man and natural disasters, a war against man-made disasters! It's the war between the ordinary people and the landlords and the rich households, and it's the war between you and the county magistrate! ”
"Your war has begun, but you don't realize it, you're completely unprepared, so how can you win this war?"
