488 Let the doctrine be spoken with the sword
Yan Chenglu endured it and didn't have a seizure, and asked in a condensed voice: "Dare to ask Chang Jie's envoy, what position is he meddling in this matter?" β
"It's not meddling." Chang Sui Ning said: "Since they have entered the territory of my Huainan Dao, they will naturally be under the jurisdiction of my Chang Sui Ning, if I say no, then it will not work." β
Huainan Province?
Yan Chenglu twisted his eyebrows, only to hear the soldier beside him whisper: "General, it seems that we have entered the boundary of Chuzhou......"
It is one of the thirteen states of Huainan Province, it is the only one of the thirteen states located in the south of the Hanshui City, more than ten years ago when Jiangnan was not divided into east and west roads, it still belongs to the jurisdiction of Jiangnan Province, but now it does belong to Huainan Province.
When Yan Chenglu and the others were chasing these people, they had unconsciously stepped into the boundary of Chuzhou.
But even if they haven't stepped in, Chang Suining has to say something. She can always find a reason for what she wants to do, even if she really can't find it, she can casually pull out some crooked reasoning, everything depends on whether she needs it or not.
Yan Chenglu forcibly endured his dissatisfaction: "Even if I accidentally enter Chuzhou, these people are the people of Yuezhou!" β
"It used to be, but not anymore." The girl on horseback said in a very ordinary tone: "They are homeless people, and all the homeless people who enter my Huainan Province will be settled by Huainan Province." β
Yan Chenglu almost couldn't suppress his anger: "...... We've never heard of such rules! β
"This is our new deal in Huainan Province!" Shepherd's cabbage sneered: "At this time, since you have stepped on the boundary of our Huainan Road, you should act according to our rules!" β
"Huainan Dao is acting like this, it is inevitably inappropriate!" Yan Chenglu couldn't suppress it anymore, and asked in a loud voice: "We are waiting for the order of the saint and the Korean Duke to settle the people suffering from the epidemic, but I don't know where the Changjie envoy has the power to obstruct it!" β
Facing Yan Chenglu, who was on the verge of rage, Chang Suining still calmly raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked rhetorically: "Power? How can you have the power to decide the fate and life and death of these people? β
Yan Chenglu hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Chang Suining said on his own: "Is the power in your hands a saint, or is it granted by the Korean government?" And whoever bestows it, this so-called power is only because you have a sword in your hands, and you are stronger than these common people by forceβ"
The essence of power is the product of the disparity of power.
"And at this time, I think I am better than you, so naturally I have the final say." Chang Suining's tone was relaxed and natural: "You act with such a reason, and I just follow, you and I share the same principle, what's wrong?" β
These words are loud and straightforward, pure and explicit.
No matter how much power is bothered to beautify, it cannot change its essence of violence, in which there is no reason to be spoken, and if there is any reason, it can only be said with a knifeβ
Chang Suining sat on horseback and asked, "Do you want to reason with me?" β
Yan Chenglu's face turned red with anger and depression.
Hearing the arrogance and threat implied by Chang Suining's words, a lieutenant beside Yan Chenglu couldn't bear it anymore: "If Chang Jie's envoy wants to meddle in this matter, he must first ask our army commander Han Gong, and whether we and other more than 100,000 troops will agree!" β
As he spoke, in order to raise his momentum and strengthen his majesty, the lieutenant pulled out his knife with a "pout".
In the next moment, however, a sharp crossbow flew in, piercing his throat with unmistakable precision.
The captain's eyes widened, and he reached for his throat, and the long knife in his hand fell, and the man fell off his horse.
"How dare you hurt anyone!"
Yan Chenglu was furious, and because of this sudden change, several nearby soldiers also drew their swords, but soon the crossbow flew to-
"Anyone who uses swords and soldiers in my Huainan Dao boundary will end up like this-" Chang Suining reminded: "If you don't want to die, press your swords." β
Looking at the whole row of crossbowmen behind Chang Suining who were ready to attack, and the iron cavalry with no end in sight, Yan Chenglu, who was about to draw his sword, gritted his teeth and raised his hand suddenly, stopping the soldiers behind him from drawing their swords in a panic.
He looked at Chang Suining fixedly, pushed the half-unsheathed knife back unwillingly, grabbed the reins, gritted his teeth and shouted, "...... Remove! β
At the moment, they are inferior to others, and if they really fight, they can only suffer!
It's a hard breath to swallow...... But afterwards, when he made it clear to the Korean duke, there will be a time for reckoning in the coming days!
Huainan Province Chang Sui Ning ...... He made a note of it!
Yan Chenglu hurriedly retreated with a thousand soldiers, and on the way, he saw a carriage leading the way for a group of fleeing people suffering from the epidemic, and immediately ordered in a tone of anger: "Shoot them all, not one will be left!" β
This isn't the damn Huainan Dao boundary after all!
However, before they could make a move, a team came up to themβ
"General Xiao!" Yan Chenglu saw the person in charge clearly, and said with a sarcastic smile: "General Xiao claims to have been ill for many days, and there are many delays in the military orders issued by the commander...... It's just in time! β
Xiao Min's eyes were extremely cold: "The doctors sent by the saints have arrived, why do you want to slaughter the people suffering from the epidemic without authorization!" β
Looking at the person who was clearly pretending to be confused, Yan Chenglu sneered, didn't want to say a word, and left angrily with his soldiers on horseback.
Xiao Min knew that Yan Chenglu must have returned to Li Xian about today's events, so he immediately asked people to gather the people who were still running around, and let them gather in front of him.
Xiao Min soon met Chang Suining.
He got off the horse and walked quickly to Chang Suining, who was leading the horse, with red eyes and fists in salute, but he was speechless.
Chang Suining looked at Xiao Min in front of him, who was pale, emaciated, with a messy beard, and a depressed expression - although he hadn't seen him for a month, he gave people the feeling of judging two people.
Chang Suining handed the reins of the return date to Sheina and moved to the side to talk with Xiao Min.
Chang Sui Ning asked first: "Is General Xiao's body in the way now?" β
"I used to take preventive medicine soup every day...... The high fever has subsided, and it should be fine. Xiao Min's voice was hoarse and indescribably ashamed, and he thanked Chang Sui Ning again: "If the extraordinary envoy arrives in time today, Xiao will die and will not be able to eliminate his sins." β
In his opinion, he had placed those people in place, and it would be his fault if something happened to them.
Chang Sui Ning shook his head: "I was able to get here in time, thanks to General Xiao." β
It is no accident that Chang Suining can appear here accurately today.
After Xiao Min settled those people, he thought that Li Xian might kill again, and he could fall down at any time under a serious illness, and the war situation was changing rapidly, and it was difficult to take care of it, so he thought about it again and again, so he chose to send a message to Chang Suining, asking her to find a way to help-
In the letter, Xiao Min explained to Chang Suining the causes and consequences, as well as the resettlement of the people.
In addition, the prescriptions for the plague that they had managed to obtain were also delivered.
The rest is self-hatred.
Xiao Min blamed the unwarranted plague of the people of Yuezhou on his own negligence.
However, the so-called "negligence" is usually poor supervision from top to bottom, and Xiao Min is under Li Xian in the army, and the reason why Li Xian concealed the poisoning plan before was not to prevent Xiao Min from detecting, but to prevent the news from leaking into Bian Jun's ears-
But Xiao Min couldn't forgive himself for his mistakes no matter what, and he wondered more than once that if he had known about Li Xian's plan earlier, would he have been able to prevent this from happening?
Earlier, his answer was yes, and he thought that if he found out early, he would have a chance to stop it until ...... He was sick until he fell into a coma, and the first thing he heard when he woke up was that the emperor denied that Li Xian had caused the plague, and blamed it on God's curse.
At that moment, Xiao Min realized that he was still too "shallow".
Knowing that this place had changed, he got up from his sickbed and on the way there, he saw the burned huts and the Qincha team that had done nothing...... Xiao Min knew that self-hatred and negligence tried to make up for this man-made disaster, not including the current court and the emperor.
Xiao Min was standing here at the moment, only supported by a mental strength to make up for his mistakes, and he asked almost in doubt and doubtfully: "Xiao has always been stupid, can the envoy tell Xiao ...... How does Xiao do it? β
"People must be saved, battles must be fought, and chaos must be peaceful." Chang Suining said to him: "General Xiao doesn't have to doubt himself, we can just do what we should do." β
The general truth is always vain, and it is the most practical to do what is in front of you and take the road under your feet.
"Xiao is afraid that he will not be able to do well...... Xiao Min's eyes were red, and his voice was like a shattered sword fragment scattered and humming: "I am also afraid of this world...... It won't be any better. β
"Then I'm the opposite." Chang Sui Ning looked at the people who were being appeased, as well as Song Xian, who was comforting the children, and said, "I think this world will definitely get better." β
Xiao Min looked at her subconsciously.
But when he saw the girl, he smiled: "General Xiao forgot, I was instructed by the immortalsββ"
Immortal guidance?
Oh, I said it in the article that threatened to kill Xu Zhengye......
Seeing Chang Suining's expression, Xiao Min asked, "But that's not Hu ...... Is it apocryphal? β
He wanted to talk nonsense, but out of respectβ
"It's true." Chang Suining smiled half-truthfully and looked at the other bank.
Xiao Min followed her line of sight and saw that there were the states of Huainan Province, separated by rivers, and seemed to be isolated from the flames of war.
The wind blew from the other side, silently dissipating Xiao Min's depression.
Immediately, Xiao Min raised his hand and wiped his tears.
He knew that as long as he could stand with the envoy of the regular festival, even if he listened to what she said, he could always make people feel that the road ahead was promising, and there was still a breeze to comfort all beings in this world.
After a moment, Xiao Min said in a sincere tone: "Xiao really misses the days when Pingxu Zhengye was in turmoil......"
Chang Sui Ning could hear the meaning of his words, such a good time, maybe she should invite Xiao Min to join her, but she thought about it, and she didn't rush to answer after all.
After a while, Xiao Min turned his gaze back from the other side and looked at Chang Suining, but he said with determination: "Chang Jie envoy...... After the battle with Bian Jun is over, let's go to Jiangdu to find a festival envoy! β
Chang Suining was not surprised, and showed a smile of honor and admiration: "Okay, I will wait for General Xiao in Jiangdu." β
She had already expected that although Xiao Min was already disheartened with the current court, he would still choose to stay and continue to pacify the Bian army's rebellion.
Not for allegiance to the court, but for the common people.
He can throw away fame and fortune, but he can't abandon the responsibility of being a general.
Everyone's concept of the overall situation and the importance of morality are different, if Xiao Min led his soldiers to rebel and leave, ignoring the front-line war, causing the army's heart to waver, then he would not be able to fall into self-hatred for the people of Yuezhou.
He was ashamed to treat the people here, so he couldn't do it anymore and left.
Seeing that Chang Suining had understanding and respect in his eyes, Xiao Min also smiled, and his eyes returned to firmness.
After that, Chang Suining reminded: "It's just that no matter what, General Xiao should protect himself and always act with an opportunity-"
In many cases, the rules of the world and those who manipulate them are even more unfair to those who are sincere.
Xiao Min knew what Chang Suining was referring to, and responded seriously when he heard it.
After a while, Xiao Min thought about it and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Chang Jie envoy...... What are your plans for the future? β
This sentence seems to be asked a little late, as if I have already bet on the table, and then I remember to ask - wait, which one am I betting on?
He had previously assumed that the envoys would not be opposed, and he also guaranteed his own head......
But at this time, Xiao Min's definition of the word "anti-heart" was different from that time.
Chang Suining deliberately sold a pass, and said with a smile: "When General Xiao goes to Jiangdu in the future, it's not too late to talk in detail in person." β
Xiao Min laughed, nodded, and said well: "Even if it is to know the answer, Xiao Mou will have to go to Jiang in the future." β
However, no matter what decision the envoy makes, he is willing to follow it.
Some people just have this magical ability, which is enough to make people believe that whichever way she goes, which way is right.
Xiao Min hopes that he will have a chance to follow him.
But until then, he has to do his duty before he can do what he wants to do with peace of mind.
Xiao Min looked at those people: "Changjie envoy, after these people ......"
Chang Suining naturally answered: "Just leave it to me with confidence." β
He also said: "It is inconvenient for me to meddle in matters other than Huainan Road, and I still flee the plagued people everywhere, and I want General Lao Xiao to find it and send it to Chuzhou." β
Xiao Min was indescribably moved in his heart, and he had already experienced the happiness of having a reliable lord.
This time, Chang Sui Ning came not just to come and have a look, she didn't come alone, not only Jiangdu Tieqi, but also hundreds of people who are proficient in medical skills, they are either from Jiangdu folk, or from the medical hall of Wuer Hospital, but all of them are self-recommended.
Jiangdu's stability and enterprising have made these doctors more capable and confident of dedicating their benevolence.
Whether they are or Chang Suining, they are all ready to accept these plagued people before they come.
There is also one person who is also prepared for this, no, it is two people-
Soon, the two men were brought over.
"Ning Ning...... It's really you! β
A plain blue slender figure rushed over and hugged Chang Suining, with the thrill of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and the joy of reunion after a long absence.
Chang Sui Ning was surprised: "...... How did my sister get here? β
Qiao Yumian wiped her embarrassed tears and briefly explained what had happened.
Chang Suining was quite scared after hearing this, this motive was really moving, and this experience was really thrilling.
"I'm with Master." Qiao Yumian whispered, looking back - hey, where is her master?
