Hall!
The county magistrate Ye Zhi and the chief bookkeeper Ling Xu sat opposite each other, with a solemn look on their faces.
Ye Zhi is burly and strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, and is a standard northern man. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Ling, Mi Zhu asked Liu Xuan for help, and now Liu Xuan has raised 5,000 soldiers to kill, what do you think?" ”
Ling Xu said very easily: "I think that Liu Xuan's killing is not a big deal, it's not a big deal. ”
Ye Zhi said: "What is the reason? ”
Ling Xu replied, "Dare to ask your lordship, what is the purpose of Liu Xuan's soldiers to kill?" ”
Ye Zhi said: "It's five hundred war horses. ”
Ling Xu praised: "Your Excellency is wise, Liu Xuan's purpose is for five hundred war horses. These five hundred war horses are not Liu Xuan's, they are Mi Zhu's. Mi Zhu was able to invite Liu Xuan, and he must have paid money. ”
"However, compared to money, war horses are more exciting."
"That being the case, why didn't the county order give Liu Xuan a certain war horse? As long as the adults are on the condition of dividing the war horses equally, Liu Xuan will not refuse. Liu Xuan did not spend a single soldier, got two hundred and fifty war horses, and would quit the army. ”
Ling Xu said: "Not only that, Liu Xuan may also target Mi Zhu in turn. ”
Ye Zhi frowned and said, "Liu Xuan will have two hundred and fifty war horses as soon as he comes, which is too much." And even if Liu Xuan led 5,000 soldiers to support the county, in the eyes of this official, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
The relaxed look on Ling Xu's face disappeared, and he said, "Are you confident that you can defeat Liu Xuan?" ”
Ye Zhi frowned, his eyes revealing a deep look.
Ling Xu said again: "Dare to ask your lordship, when Zhou Cang is in Guanyang County, can you be sure to destroy Zhou Cang?" ”
Ye Zhi shook his head and said, "It's hard to decide whether you will win or lose." ”
Ling Xu said again: "I will ask your Excellency again, when Guan Hai led the Yellow Turban Thieves to entrench in Donglai County, with the strength in the hands of the adults, could he defeat Guan Hai?" ”
Ye Zhi still shook his head and said: "Guan Hai is strong in martial arts, and he is also good at marching and fighting, he is not an easy person. It is quite difficult for this official to defeat Guan Hai. ”
Ling Xu spread out his hand and said, "Under Liu Xuan, there are two generals, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang. Guan Hai and Zhou Cang are both loyal to Liu Xuan, and from this point of view, Liu Xuan is not easy to match. Liu Xuan's governance of Guanyang County can develop so prosperous in a short period of time, and he is a capable person. My lord, Liu Xuan is not easy to deal with. ”
Ye Zhi disagreed, and said, "Master Ling's analysis, this official agrees. But you forgot that this time, it wasn't the official who took the initiative to fight. The official took the initiative to fight, and he may not be sure of winning, but he is sure enough to resist Liu Xuan. ”
"Alas......"
Ling Xu sighed lightly, quite worried.
Ye Zhi said: "What else is Master Ling worried about? ”
Ling Xu said: "Do you insist on going to war with Liu Xuan?" ”
Ye Zhi said: "If you don't fight, how can this official willingly hand over the war horse in his hand?" ”
Ling Xu said: "Once it fails, it will be difficult for two hundred and fifty war horses to solve this matter. ”
Ye Zhi snorted and said disdainfully: "Master Ling, it is useless to grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige." Liu Xuan is powerful, but he is not invincible. In this battle, the official just wants to weigh Liu Xuan's catties. The official has made up his mind, so there is no need to discuss it again. ”
"Yes!"
When Ling Xu heard this, he stopped talking.
Ye Zhi decided to go to war, and he couldn't say anything more.
"Da! Da! ”
Suddenly, outside the hall, there was a rush of footsteps.
A middle-aged scribe hurriedly walked in.
The middle-aged scribe's name was Zhou Que, and he was the county magistrate of Ting County. He had an anxious look on his face, and after entering the hall, he saluted Ye Zhi, sat down and said, "My lord, the situation is not good!" Liu Xuan led the army to come. He brought 5,000 soldiers, including Guo Jia in Wen, Guan Hai and Zhou Cang in Wu, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. ”
There was a deep worry in Zhou Que's eyes.
Ye Zhi snorted and said, "What if Liu Xuan comes?" There are many talents under the command of this official, why be afraid of Liu Xuan? ”
When Zhou Que heard this, he immediately changed the topic and said: "In the city, rumors are everywhere, saying that Liu Xuan can't be stopped. This matter has been spread widely. In the city, people are already panicking. ”
Ye Zhi frowned, he didn't expect things to come to this point.
Before the war began, the people's hearts were in turmoil.
Ye Zhi clenched his fists and said coldly: "The people are all blind obedient people, and when they heard that Liu Xuan was powerful, they panicked and feared, worried that they would not be able to defend the county. But the officer didn't need them to fight, and the officer had his own army to resist. ”
"The more the people don't believe it now, the more they believe in the officials after the victory in this war."
Ye Zhi said: "The more sluggish the people are now, the more they don't believe in their own officials, and after the victory, the stronger the rebound will be." When the time comes, the official will gain the hearts of countless people. ”
After Ling Xu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He was tempted to say that once he lost, he was a complete failure. It's just that he has already seen that Ye Zhi has made up his mind, and arguing with Ye Zhi again, which makes Ye Zhi unhappy, so he simply doesn't speak.
Zhou Que said: "In this case, I will send people to suppress the people and clear up the rumors." ”
Ye Zhi shook his head and said, "No, it's not necessary." ”
"Report!"
Suddenly, an attendant walked in quickly.
The attendant hurriedly came to the hall and reported: "My lord, there is a person named Jia Bao outside the door, who claims to be Liu Xuan's envoy. ”
"Please!"
Ye Zhi's eyes narrowed, and a cold color swept through his eyes.
Liu Xuan led his troops to kill, but he sent an envoy first. Ye Zhi guessed that Liu Xuan's purpose in sending people was probably to order him to surrender.
It's a pity that he has already made up his mind, and it is impossible to be intimidated by Liu Xuan.
The attendant went down to deliver the message, and after a while, a handsome young man walked in.
This young man is Guo Jia. He came to meet Ye Zhi and adopted a fake name - Jia Bao. Guo Jia's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he stepped forward and arched his hand: "In Xia Jia, meet Ye County Order." ”
Ye Zhi said in a deep voice: "Liu Xuan sent you here to make this official give up resistance?" This official tells you that this is impossible. If you want to fight, your official will fight; The official is in Tingxian County, waiting for Liu Xuan. ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Ye County Ling Miao, I am here to write a war book." Liu County Commander led 5,000 troops to kill, and after arriving in Ting County, he would choose to enter Ting County alone to negotiate with Ye County Order. Liu Xianling asked Ye Xianling, can he dare to meet in the city? ”
Insolent!
Arrogant!
The simple words reveal Liu Xuan's confidence and arrogance.
Ting County is Ye Zhi's Ting County, and Liu Xuan actually wants to enter the city alone, which can be described as bold.
Ye Zhi laughed and said loudly: "Jia Bao, Liu Xuan dares to come, why is this official afraid?" Go back and tell Liu Xuan that the official is waiting for him in Tingxian County. ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Ye County Ling agreed, and I will go back later." Liu County Commander led the army to come, and he will come to the county government in person. If Ye County Ling wants to make trouble, he can set up an ambush in advance. ”
Ye Zhi snorted and said, "The official has his own considerations, go back and tell Liu Xuan that the official is waiting for him." ”
"Farewell!"
Guo Jia arched his hand, turned around and walked out.
Liu announced that the bureau began to start from the moment he stepped into the county office.
