When Zhu Hu Xiaoru heard this, he was stunned.

Bal Lian Fan asked happily, "What is the best way for my lord?" The villain is bold, please show it to the adult. ”

Xin Er glanced at Ah Chou who was kneeling in the corner, pointed at her and said, "I heard Ah Chou say that she was taken captive by you." ”

Xiaoshu didn't know the origin of Ah Ugly, but they knew that she was a slave maid, and the unruly Lan Bao palmed her awkward pronunciation, and sneered in Tang dialect: "My lord, aren't you talking nonsense?" If it wasn't taken captive, how else could it come? Do you want our people of the gods to be slaves to you? ”

The ugly guy who was picked by Ballian Fan himself, knew the ins and outs, and listened to Lan Baozhang's disrespectful tone, afraid that Xin Er would be angry, so he hurriedly replied: "It's not a captivity." Four years ago, the winter was very cold, and many livestock froze to death, and the days were difficult, and in the early spring of the following year, our department went south to the desert, this, this,...... borrowed some sheep and horse grain from several counties in the south of the desert, and because he saw that she was a Hu person, he brought her to the ministry by the way. ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "Borrow? ”

He asked Ugly. Ah Chou and her father were originally slaves under a Yang family in Guyin, who farmed for the Yang family, and in the spring of three years ago, Chi Lou Dan went south to plunder, robbing grain and livestock, but also robbing a lot of people, and their father and daughter were taken captive in this way and changed their masters. Hu Zhong is far more difficult than Longnei, Chou's father died of exhaustion within a few months, and Chou has to live to this day because of his good appearance.

It is expected that Bald Lian Fan must have been afraid that he, a Tang man, would be furious after hearing that his fellow clan had been robbed, so he beautified the act of looting, and emphasized that Ah Chou was the identity of a Hu person. These are not the key points of Xin Er, so he did not expose them, and said: "I see. He said to Zhu Xiaoru, "This is the way I said that you can survive the cold winter, why not repeat the old plan?" ”

Zhu Xiaoyu looked at each other, and they all felt as if they understood Xin Er's words, but they didn't quite believe that Xin Er would come up with such an idea.

After translating Xin Er's words, Bal Lianfan said in his heart: "Is he telling us to rob the Tang people again?" Is it so ruthless? ”

Qi vigorously asked tentatively: "Do you mean that you want us to go south from the desert and borrow grain from the border counties?" ”

Xin Er said in his heart: "You want to be beautiful!" He replied, "You can't go to the border counties." I have just returned from the royal capital, and the city is heavily guarded, and if you go, you will not be pleased. ”

The beggar vigorously touched his head and smiled, "Yes, yes." "What do you mean?" ”

"In this desert, there is more than one pig field, right?"

Zhuhu people Xiao Yu understood the meaning of Xin Er.

Bald Lian Fan Xin said: "I did it for a long time to ask us to grab other Hu Min." This, how can this be done. He just didn't approve in his heart, and the other little ones either showed their colors or shook their heads. The unruly Lan Bao raised his face and snorted in his nose.

Bal Lian Fan said with a smile: "My lord's plan is sincere, but it's not good." ”

Xin Er pretended to be confused and asked, "Why?" …… Yes, the other Ze and Zhou, like the Pig Noze, are all occupied by the Hu people, and they are of the same clan as you, and you can't bear to borrow them. ”

"Adults don't know, there are more than ten large and small oases in this desert, most of them are miscellaneous beards, not my race. It's not because of the fact that this is not a good idea. ”

How could Xin Er not know this?

He had already found it in his memory. The ordinary people of the Tang people couldn't tell the difference between the Hu people, and only followed the nobles to call them Liuyi. In fact, the Hu people do not have only six races, and the Liuyi are the largest among them. Since the end of the Western Tang Dynasty, except for Liuyi, there have been no less than 20 other races of Hu people who have migrated inward, each with its own ethnic name, and is collectively known as Zahu.

Chiloudan and He cadres are the side branches of Liuyi, and the Hu tribes distributed in this desert oasis are mostly miscellaneous Hu, that is to say, they are not the same thing as Chiloudan and He Gan's clans. In fact, the reason why Ballian Fan and others are reluctant to rob other Hu tribes in Moshang has nothing to do with their clan at all, they are the same clan, as long as they gain enough, they will fight you to the death.

Xin Er asked, "What is the reason for that?" ”

Lan Baozhang couldn't help it, and said loudly: "We have bows and horses, and they also have bows and horses, how can we rob them?" Seventy or eighty dead and wounded, and can't grab three taels of sheep and camels, how can you do such a loss? My lord, you look smart, but your brain is not very bright! Besides, what if they robbed them this winter, what should they do if they come to rob us next winter? Settle a grudge, and life can't get by? How about robbing those Tang Er lightly! If they grab it and leave, they will only swing their hoes to plow the land, can they still chase them into the desert? ”

The others nodded their heads in agreement.

Lan Baozhang grabbed one by one, and Bald Lianfan reminded him in a low voice: "Borrow!" Borrow! ”

Lan Baozhang glared at him angrily and spat him: "Traitor! ”

"What did you say?"

"Dog mongrel!"

"You!"

"What am I? Old dog! The ministry dug out your heart and lungs and gave you all the surnames! You can't give birth to a cub! Turn your face and sell the big ministry and take refuge in Linghu Feng! "Karma, which means the ram that has been incited, bald and childless, so Lan Baozhang scolded him like this.

The more Lan Baozhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he got up to pull the placket of Lian Fan's clothes.

Bal Lian Fan knew that he couldn't beat him, so he quickly got up from his seat and dodged around the Hu people.

Although Lan Baozhang is not a close confidant of Bald Lian Qinu, this person is rough and straight, and he hates a villain like Bal Lian Fan very much, and at the same time thinks that Ling Hu Feng is a Tang man, and he is insidious and cunning, and he is also full of disbelief that he has become the head of the department, so from the moment he saw Xin Er, his face was full of "I'm looking for trouble", and at this time he was angry and chased after Bald Lianfan.

The two cadres in Xiaolu Zhonghe smiled and leaned back together, and the rest of Chi Lou Dan also laughed. The beggar didn't laugh or stop, holding his stomach, and sat and watched with a cute look.

Lan Baozhang scolded people in Hu language, Xin Er could understand it slightly, and was guessing the meaning of his words, but unexpectedly, he jumped up and started chasing after Bald Lianfan, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" "Stop him!" ”

No one moved, only the beggar bowed his ass, as if hesitating to listen to the order. Seeing that he couldn't call everyone, Ah Chou was going to go up and pull Lan Bao's palm desperately, but Xin Er couldn't, so he had to get up and draw his knife, forcing him to wait hard: "Catch him!" ”

Begging Dali and the other three little rates no longer just watched the excitement and stopped Lan Baozhang.

The beggar is strong and strong, and holds Lan Bao's palm firmly in his arms. Lan Baozhang couldn't break free, and scolded Bald Lian Fan more than once.

Bald Lian Fan fled to the left side of Xin Er, gasped and said, "In front of the throne, how can you be so rude!" Mad dog! Mad dog! ”

A sound of "sir" came from outside the tent, and in an instant, the tent was opened, and five sturdy armorers with swords entered.

The captain who took the lead looked at the situation in the tent, and immediately understood what the situation was, and with an order, the two armor soldiers grabbed Lan Bao's palm from the beggar force, pressed him to the ground, and pressed his neck with a straight knife. Wu Chang asked, "My lord, what should I do with him?" ”

This was the Zuo clan in the adjacent tent who heard the noise, and hurriedly called the guards left by Linghu Feng to come over and take a look.

No one laughed or spoke, and the tent was very quiet.

Lan Baozhang was just unruly, not a fool, and the cold and sharp knife stabbed him so that his hairs stood up, and he didn't dare to scold anymore.

Xin Er didn't speak, raised his knife and stared at Lan Baozhang, and only asked for a while, "Are you done scolding?" ”

Lan Bao palmed the loser and did not lose the battle, glared at Bald Lian Fan angrily, and scolded in a low voice: "Lao Xuan! ”

Xin Er grimaced and said, "You have three sins just now. Calling the Lord by name is one of them, which is disrespectful; I am your governor, and you are presumptuous in front of me, which is the second; Bald Lian is a colleague with you, and you insult and chase for no reason, which is the third. Whichever of these three sins, I can punish you severely. He reprimanded sharply, "Are you so fucking reckless, do you think that Lao Tzu will not kill you?" ”

Before and after, there were several people who Xin Er had personally killed, and under the voice, he was not angry and self-assured, and when he spoke to Xiao Yu, his tone was quite elegant, and two foul words came out at this time, and the strong contrast became more murderous.

Regardless of whether he is convinced or not, he now orders that Hu Feng has three hundred steps to ride Yifu, and the more authority in the ministry is, the more likely Xin Er kills one or two small rates, it is not a big deal. Beggar Dali and the others all thought of this, and they all bowed their heads silently. Lan Baozhang was still unconvinced, but he didn't dare to speak out anymore.

Xin Er said in his heart: "No wonder Linghu Feng said that he was a little fierce to them." The Hu people are used to being rude, and it is indeed difficult to cure. ”

This Lan Baozhang must not be killed, just like he thought before, before he has given grace, using the words of power will only make it more difficult for Qi Dali and others to subdue, but it can't be just counted. Linghu Feng said well, Hu people are afraid of power, just forget it, it will make beggar Dali and others look down on themselves and think that they are incompetent, so Lan Baozhang will not have to kick his nose in the face in the future.

When Xin Er was silent, he had already found a way to compromise, and said: "I remember that you were my account at the beginning, but I don't know my military law, spare you a death, and punishment is inevitable." "Soldiers," twenty lashes! He said, "Punish you for being on duty outside my tent tonight." ”

Bald Lian Fan was shocked, hurriedly expressed his loyalty, stepped in to admonish, and said: "My lord, it is necessary to whip him dozens of whips, twenty whips is too little, and a hundred whips is not too much!" But use him to guard the night? This is a wild dog, biting people indiscriminately, absolutely unacceptable, can't be used. ”

Lan Baozhang squeezed his eyebrows, made a vicious look, and snorted threateningly.

Xin Er returned the knife to the sheath and said lightly: "Then let him try." ”

The soldiers pressed Lan Bao's palm to the ground, stripped off his robe, and whipped him twenty lashes on the spot. However, Lan Bao's palm skin is rough and thick, and he didn't cry out for pain, so he held it all down.

After this mess, the previous topic could not continue, and Bal Lianfan and the others said goodbye. Lan Baozhang also went back to change his clothes and came back to work at night. Xin Er is not afraid that he will not come, if he dares not to come, he will be indispensable, he will really kill him tomorrow, and he will have nothing to say about begging for a long time.

Ugly packed up the tent.

Xin Er sent the soldiers away, and saw that one of them, Wu Chang, entered the Zuo's tent and returned to him, standing at the mouth of the tent, calming his mood, and there was no longer the slaughter on his face, and there was no frustration that the small leaders refused to go out with him to rob the other Hu tribes.

Today was just a blow to probe the reaction of the little ones. Their refusal was expected.

He looked closely, looked at the Zuo tent diagonally opposite, and said in his heart: "Thanks to the help of Madame's armor soldiers, we can quickly quell the chaos." Thinking back to Shicai, he thought, "Linghu Feng divided the four governors into four departments and also used the method of checks and balances, and gave me a small rate of three departments divided into three departments. In doing so, it is not possible for them to connect privately, but it is also difficult for them to work together. The farce of the Shicai Lan Baozhang and Bal Lianfan, the gloating of the three He cadres and the Chilou Danbu, and the seemingly loyal beggar only sat and watched. I had to draw a knife to threaten it, so that I could move, in terms of its use, it was not even as good as the ugly girl! Such a ministry, a rabble, cannot be used. …… Dr. Fu has just come back and asked him to rest more, and I will go to him tomorrow to implement my plan for the second half as soon as possible. ”

When his follow-up measures are used, it is expected that these small rates will no longer reject the "good strategy for surviving the winter" that he has worked so hard to give them, and he will be able to restrain them with benefits.

The tent diagonally opposite was lifted, and the chief came out.

Zuo leaned out, saw Xin Er, and asked, "Ah Gua, what's wrong?" ”

She didn't know what was going on, a little nervous, although she was rewarded by Wu Chang, but Wu Chang didn't know the previous situation, and her words were unknown, she still couldn't rest assured.

"It's nothing, the two Hu Xiaoshu are fighting."

Zuo Shi breathed a sigh of relief and admonished: "The Hu people are rude and don't know etiquette, you have to be careful." ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern."

There was a soldier standing guard outside the tent, Zuo didn't say more, put down the curtain, and waited for Linghu to come back from the big tent and tell him about it.

Linghu was summoned to Xin Er, and two Hu maids washed his feet, and taught him: "Ah Gua, remember my words, you must be fierce!" Governing the people and the army is actually very simple, the same as fighting wolves and hawks, if you are not fierce, you can't suppress them, only if you are more fierce than it, can you suppress it! "What did you do with that Hulu?" ”

"Twenty lashes were given to him, and he was told to come and watch me at night."

"Twenty lashes? Didn't you kill it? You're just soft-hearted, next time you have this kind of thing, remember, you can't spare it! …… It's okay to be on duty at night, since you didn't kill it, then it's good to be humiliated! ”

Xin Er asked Lan Bao to be on duty at night, but it was not just humiliation.

In a biography he read in his previous life, there was a person who later founded the country and became the emperor, and he used this method to treat the descendants, and the result was all in his heart. He was so impressed by this that he used it for use today. Although the borrowing is a bit nondescript, in his mind, there will always be a little gain, right? Even if there is no gain, there is no loss.

In this language, it is impossible to say to Linghu. He said yes.

Linghu Feng said: "Hu cub doesn't listen to you, it seems that I have to assign you some parts." Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give you a soldier. ”

"Thank you, Lord."

It was twilight, Lan Baozhang came to report the night, holding the bow and carrying the knife, Lai did not leave in the tent, swayed for a long time, patted the scabbard from time to time, pretended to blow the bow body, saw Xin Er eating dinner by himself, did not react, only Ah Ugly occasionally glanced at him twice, and then went out stupidly.

Sleeping until midnight, Xin Er woke up, heard the wind whistling outside, called Ah Ugly, and asked her to send a robe to Lan Baozhang. Ugly came back and said, "He doesn't want it." Xin Er said: "Then freeze him." "Roll over and go back to sleep.

The next morning, Xin Er came out of the tent in his clothes, and Lan Bao's palm was frozen and shrunk into a ball, his face was dark and shivering. Xin Er looked at him with pity, sighed, and said, "Why bother? And he took the robe with his own hand and put it on him. This time, Lan Baozhang did not refuse. Xin Er instructed Ah Chou: "Give him some hot water and make him scald his hands and feet." Lan Bao snorted, reluctantly got up, turned around and left.
