Chapter 117: Sincerity
The county seat of Wuning County, the city of Fucheng.
The weather was cold, the tiles were frozen, and the cold air visible to the naked eye was blowing from outside the house, but it was difficult to resist the heat in the heart of Wuning County.
"How's it going?"
The lieutenant hurriedly trotted in from outside, and before he could catch his breath, he was stopped by the county guard.
"I went to see, and the sentry was right, twenty or thirty thousand men were coming towards us. Shall we leave it alone? ”
"Tube? How? The Wuning County Guard glanced at the Wuning County Lieutenant angrily, "You don't know the grievances back then." These people are all Fan Qing's old subordinates, they don't listen to the announcement, and they are so strong that they can't even control the Hou Ye. Although I have sent them to the ravine for so many years, I know that they have been a problem for Hou Ye all these years. We want to take care of it, just rely on the thousand county soldiers in the county? ”
Choked by the Wuning County Guard, the county lieutenant stretched his face and looked ugly: "Then we can't do nothing!" The Hou Ye knew that we allowed these two or thirty thousand people to pass through the county like this, and the loss of officials was small, and the loss of heads was big. ”
"Master Hou, the envoy of the lord is here from Yingdu."
There was a sound outside the door, and the county guard and the county lieutenant looked at each other, did the Marquis move so fast?
The two met with the messenger in the side hall. When the messenger took off his black robe and revealed his true face, the two of them were shocked and immediately knelt down.
"Young master, why are you here?"
The person who came was Cai Tong's son Cai Yun, and he hurriedly helped the two of them up, "You two don't have to be polite, I came this time to take over the city temporarily by the order of the lord." ”
As he spoke, Cai Yun took out Cai Tong's talisman and edict and handed them over to the two of them to check. waited until the two of them checked that it was correct, and Cai Yun spoke.
"Fan Qing's old ministry lived up to the grace of the lord and colluded with Yang Xian, wanting to betray Chu and join Shu. The lord will personally lead 10,000 elites to come, and I am here to prepare for food and grass armaments. ”
"Yang Xian?" The Wuning County Guard sighed lightly, "Is the lord going to war with the Shu army?" ”
The two people in the side hall were very uneasy. At this moment, they don't know what the situation of Chu is, there is a Liang army in the north that is aggressive, and if there is a war with Shu now, they will be hit by the first wave.
After all, there was no danger to defend on the road from Chu to the west, and there were 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Yang clan in Pingling, firmly guarding the gate of the Shu army into Chu.
In the past few years, they have never taken advantage of the open and secret competition.
Cai Yun saw the worries of the two and said, "Fan Qing's old ministry is Fan Qing's old department, and Yang Xian is Yang Xian." This is the territory of my Chu State, and I don't believe that Yang Xian dares to openly embarrass my Chu State. ”
After listening to Cai Yun's words, the two of them were relieved for the time being. It seems that Cai Tong has no plans to completely tear his face with Shu State.
"Send someone to keep an eye on those people. According to the calculation of the lord, the fastest way for those rebellious people to go to Yizhou is to go from Quyang to Pingling. They will definitely not be able to go fast if they help the old and the young, and the army of our Chu State will intercept them in Black Tiger Mountain. Without further ado, the two of them immediately prepared grain and grass for the lord's army. ”
"Yes!"
Quyang.
Tong Gu took Fan Qing's old department, helped the old and the young, and when he wanted to go up the mountain, he saw that there were already people waiting on the mountain road.
"Lord!"
Yang Xian was sitting in a four-wheeled vehicle, holding a feather fan, and was enjoying the shade under the tree.
Tong Gu was overjoyed to see Yang Xian, and he took a few buddies around him to meet him.
Before approaching, Tong Gu bowed his hand, wanting to pull a few buddies around him to salute. Unexpectedly, they looked awkward.
These people are in their sixties and seventies, and the youngest ones are in their fifties. Seeing that Yang Xian was only seventeen or eighteen years old, his heart was full of contempt.
These people were all Fan Qing's old subordinates back then, and they were used to it all their lives. Except for Fan Qing, they have never served anyone.
This is also the reason why Cai Tong has used and abandoned these people for 30 years, because they have great ability and temper. Let's kill! The contributions made by these people over the years are not small, and it is inevitable that they will be honest and famous. But if you put it around and reuse it, it's really heartwarming.
In the end, Cai Tong really had no choice, so he simply found a mistake and demoted them to the people, sent them to the ravine of Qingshui County, and then gave them a generous pension every year. In this way, no one can say anything.
Tong Gu played the round field, "Lord, this mountain and wild man doesn't understand the rules, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay!"
Yang Xian smiled, didn't care, and waved the fan slowly, just consuming it with these people.
Where can Fan Qing's old department afford to spend it, they are now in a hurry minute by minute. In the end, Cui Lao Er broke this somewhat embarrassing scene.
"Prime Minister! We heard about you from Tong Gu. Although Lao Tong praises you like a flower, we still believe in our own eyes. To be honest, if it weren't for Cai Tong's old guy being too unauthentic, we wouldn't be willing to leave our hometown, and we would have to bear the name of a betrayal. ”
In my heart, these Fan Qing's old subordinates don't look down on Cai Tong. But Cai Tong had no choice but to get the title of Marquis of Chu from the imperial court, and he was the lord of Jingzhou. Nominally, they are all under the jurisdiction of Cai.
"You righteous people treat you with sincerity, and envy naturally treats you with sincerity."
"Not necessarily!"
At this time, someone said sourly. The old guys in front of Yang Xian were all coming over with strong winds and waves, and they were all very shrewd.
Cui Lao Er hesitated for a while, but still said it.
"We are moving so much, Cai Tong's old guy will definitely chase after him if he gets the letter. We know the strength of the Jingzhou army, and although we are fast along the way, Cai Tong's speed is not slow. If something is wrong, Cai Tong will naturally not do anything to the prime minister, but our end will be miserable. ”
These people knew their situation at this time, but even so, they still didn't have the slightest appearance of lowering their eyebrows and asking for people.
"I, Cui Lao Er, are here to ask for these 27,632 people, do you dare to take on this matter?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Yang Xian didn't even hesitate at all, and waved his feather fan. Everyone saw that not far away, Yang Xian's big silk was erected, fluttering eye-catching.
This is the border of the Chu State, and Yang Xian has placed his Daxu here, which means that he has openly interfered in this matter. This is tantamount to slapping Cai Tong in the face.
"Cai Tong is nothing, but there are dry bones in the mound! What benevolence and righteousness Fan Qingjun guarded back then! It's a pity that I was killed by this old thief, and I was really painful. It is a pity that the pearl of the righteous people has been dusted for many years. If you don't seek justice for all the righteous people, where is the reason of heaven? ”
Positive sentiment from Fan Qing's old ministry +666
The more Yang Xian scolded Cai Tong, the more refreshed these people became.
"Lord, I estimate that the army of the capital of Chu is coming, what should we do?"
"If we cross the Black Tiger Mountain, there will be no danger for a hundred miles ahead. If Cai Tong is chased and killed from behind, these nearly 30,000 people will only have one way to die. In this way, it is better to refuse to defend Black Tiger Mountain and wait for reinforcements. ”
A group of people looked at it and arched their hands and said, "But according to the Prime Minister's orders." ”
