Chapter 123: Dragon and Tiger Landscape V

"I heard that when you were an official in Chang'an County, you deceived and killed six or seven hundred bandits, I don't know if it's really true?"

Chen Cao, who woke up early in the morning, in order to forget what happened last night, specially called Sun Chuanting to drink morning tea in the Wangshan Cliff Pavilion of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face was calm: "Uncle is a brocade guard, but I haven't heard of these things, and it is precisely because of this that Xia Guan was promoted to Beijing as an official." ”

"When you dream back in the middle of the night, do you dream that those men come to you with knives to ask for your life?" Chen Cao picked up the dim sum and took a bite as he spoke: "Well, Longhu Mountain is really rich, and there are a lot of frostings." ”

Sun Chuanting also hurriedly picked up a piece of dim sum and took a bite, while agitating his cheeks and looking at the mountains in the distance: "Since the lower official actually taught Chang'an Zhixian, I know how poor Shaanxi is, the three salaries have made the local people unable to live, and the surrounding areas of Xi'an are better, the more you go to northern Shaanxi, the more impoverished you are, and now there has been a drought for two years... Hey..."

Sun Chuanting sighed, and then hurriedly stuffed a snack, Chen Cao was the first time he saw Sun Chuanting eat so ugly: "The matter in Baishui County is not a day or two, you killed so many people, don't you think it is against the peace of heaven?" ”

Chen Cao hurriedly poured water into Sun Chuanting's teacup, this guy was obviously choked by the dim sum, and after drinking a cup of tea, Sun Chuanting stood upright and stared wide-eyed...

"Shaanxi is full of swordsmen, bandits and bandits, and some counties are even big families who are bandits."

Chen Cao turned his head: "Is that the so-called Yin Clan?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, and then drank another glass of water: "Most of the big families in Shaanxi have the existence of the Yin clan, which is also the reason why the bandits in Shaanxi have been repeatedly exterminated. ”

"So you came up with a trick to trick and kill those bandits?" Chen Cao could see that Sun Chuanting liked to eat this snack, so he pushed all the plates over.

Sun Chuanting was not polite when he saw this, so he ate slowly: "Don't look at Chang'an Wannian next to the city, but the Qinling Mountains have never been cut off from bandits, and there are no less than fifteen people in the two years that Cheng Jing has been the magistrate of the county, and the local people of Chang'an have been repeatedly harassed by swordsmen and bandits, so they have to make this decision, but the effect is still very good." ”

"That's why I will make you the chief of staff of the new army," Chen Cao took a deep breath of the fresh air in the mountains, which would not be available in later generations: "By the way, you also built the road?" ”

Sun Chuanting smiled: "After capturing so many thieves alive, it just so happened that the road to Hanzhong was broken, so it would be good for the local people to get them to build roads and sharpen their temperament." It was also for this reason that the prefect reported to the imperial court, and he was promoted. ”

"If you were asked to deal with the things at hand, what would you do to be perfect?"

Sun Chuanting shook his head: "There is no perfect thing in the world, everything has flaws, not to mention the Yi people, they are not convinced by the king, and they feel that what our Central Plains Dynasty teaches is alternative, but they don't know that in our eyes, they are also alternative, so the lower officials feel that it is more prudent to use the method of 'razing to defeat raze'." ”

"The relationship between the Yao people and the She people is not good."

"Xiaguan is not to let the Yao people govern the She people, but let the She people govern their own clan."

"Ethnic minorities also pay attention to blood, if you give the patriarch to someone else, will the remaining relatives rebel?"

"The lower officials heard that this is how Jian Yu acts."

Chen Cao squinted at Sun Chuanting, and suddenly found that if this guy went to Liaodong to quell the chaos in history, it might be much more powerful than suppressing bandits in Shaanxi: "It seems that there is this group of She people in Xuxi. ”

"Yuexi is still there," Sun Chuanting said.

"But have you investigated it all?" Chen Cao asked again.

Sun Chuanting opened his mouth and smiled: "Xiaguan thought about it all night last night, got up in the middle of the night and looked at the surrounding map, but saw that the uncle was not sleeping, and he was about to go to find the uncle, and when he saw the uncle go out and leave, he gave up, otherwise he would have told the uncle his thoughts last night." ”

Chen Cao's face turned red, and he quickly stood up and came to the pavilion to ease the atmosphere with the mountain breeze blowing: "I drank a lot of wine last night, I went out to find water to drink, and I will leave this matter to you, and go quickly." ”

Sun Chuanting stood up, bowed his hand to Chen Cao and left.

At this moment, Chen Cao found that he was hungry, he only ate a large plate of dim sum, and let Sun Chuanting eat all the rest, and at this time Zhao Xin walked to the pavilion: "Uncle, Shi Gui and his party left, saying that they would go back to tidy up the place quickly, thinking that they were going to prepare something for gifts." ”

Chen Cao also stood up: "What's their matter, if it's given to us, we will accept it all, and it doesn't matter if it's not sent, Sun Chuanting is about to deal with the She people in Xuxi, let the people of Jinyiwei follow, it's better to hurry up, let's deal with it and go back." ”

Zhao Xin nodded, and was about to leave when he saw the empty plate, and said in surprise: "Hey, Uncle really has a good appetite, so a large plate is eaten clean." ”

Chen Cao was unhappy when he thought of this: "It's not a good thing, what if you eat it all?" ”

Zhao Xin touched his head and said mysteriously: "Uncle, Aunt Xiao Kun sent the dim sum over early this morning, saying that she made it herself, let it be eaten by the uncle, and talk about the gratitude of the tea, is it delicious?" The subordinates also thought it was delicious, and secretly ate a piece when they got it, good guy, there was more frosting than Jinling Dim Sum. ”

"It's... Be... Xiao Kungu sent it? Chen Cao was extremely surprised.

Zhao Xin smiled and nodded: "Then there can be a fake," said solemnly: "Didn't Uncle say to let her be guarded?" So after receiving something and eating a piece, the subordinates personally went to the kitchen of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to inquire, it was indeed made by Xiao Kungu herself, and the subordinates of the raw materials also checked it, no problem. ”

'Hiss...' Chen Cao took a deep breath: "Sun Chuanting, the dog said..."

...

"I also heard Zhao Xin talk to me about the Shimen Village incident back then, what do you think?"

Sun Chuanting has already taken people to Yingtan Town in Longhu Mountain, according to the time, it should be the time to negotiate with those She people at noon today, and Lu Xiangsheng was left here by Chen Cao, he is suitable for charging into battle, not suitable for leading an army, playing such a thing as resourcefulness, it is most appropriate to let Sun Chuanting go.

Lu Xiangsheng rode a war horse and followed Chen Cao on the right side, and when he heard Chen Cao talk about the past of the Ming Dynasty, he said: "At that time, Emperor Shenzong had his own conclusions, and there were also the words of the ministers of all classes, but now I look at it, there is really no way to talk about it, and the people who were beheaded are only middle and lower-level officers, and there should be no obstacle to the Qi family army itself." ”

"Wang Bao also said that we are southern barbarians, what do you think?"

Lu Xiangsheng is a native of Nanzhili, if he goes in generally, he is really the 'Southern Barbarian' in Wang Bao's mouth, so he heard Lu Xiangsheng sneer: "The military generals compete for merit, and Brother Boya is also from a military family, he should know the stakes in this, the uncle has this question, is he overturning the case for the Qi family's army?" ”

Chen Cao had a smile on his face, their purpose was one of the seventy-two peaks of Longhu Mountain, and today was to go out and wait for the news: "It's not enough to overturn the case, if you look at the nature of the party struggle, Qi Shaobao's death is also more wronged, but according to Jinyiwei's words, the Qi family army sacrificed their lives and forgot to die in the first war in Korea, and then the imperial court owed military salaries, and their appeal was just to ask for military salaries." ”

"Shijiubian Military Town received an annual salary of twenty taels per pawn, while the Qi family army asked for forty-seven taels, even if North Korea made great contributions to the First World War, but according to the situation at the time, the military department could not take out this money."

Chen Cao looked sideways at Lu Xiangsheng and asked with a smile: "You are also concerned about this matter?" ”

"It's not deliberate, the last general often understands this matter before the night of the scientific expedition," Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "However, the Qi family army was strict with himself in the first battle of Pyongyang, and the last general still agrees with this matter." ”

"If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have asked the court for money, Wang Bao and these people are also insatiable, and the free traitors in the court want more money, Jiandou, now looking back, is it still interesting?"

"Hey..."Lu Xiangsheng sighed, causing Zhao Xindu to look sideways: "The government is not a battle formation, it is a game of intrigue, and the eunuchs in various places have their own ideas, if it really falls into the hands of His Majesty, just look at Liu Jin when Emperor Wuzong was in power." ”

Chen Cao playfully looked at the green waters and green mountains in front of him: "Although the government is intrigued, but the one who fights is the leader, have you personally waved the flag for the Donglin Party?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "The last general's official position is low, where is there such a creation." ”

"Hahaha..."Chen Cao looked up to the sky and laughed: "The people in the world seem to be happy and healthy, but this kind of phenomenon is only in our south and the southeast corner of the country, even if it is as prosperous as Beijing, it can't be compared, you don't know how many homeless people were in Beijing at the beginning of this year, the whole 100,000..."

"Uncle knows a lot about world affairs, does he already have a good plan to save the country?"

"I Chen Cao's expression is Yaozhong, I think this expression is not good, it should be a good strategy, otherwise it will bury the ambition of governing the country in my heart, it's a pity..."Chen Cao shook his head with a smile: "People of insight in the court think that we are a martial artist, and we can't be elegant, if I don't become a eunuch, maybe there will really be a change in the Qi family army in Liaodong again, but not necessarily, my good policy for governing the country is nothing more than robbing, transforming internal contradictions into external contradictions, reducing internal pressure, and so on, The Ming Dynasty still has hope of being saved. ”

Lu Xiangsheng didn't answer again when he heard this, because he felt that Chen Cao's words were a bit unfounded, although those thieves and exiles did affect the imperial court, but the Ming Dynasty, which was founded more than 200 years ago, was still that behemoth, and it might be difficult to overthrow it easily.

Chen Cao didn't say more, some things may backfire if they talk too much, and they may be measured by others as demons, and they may not be necessarily: "Longhu Mountain is nothing to look at, go back, wait for the news of Boya, maybe the herald has returned." ”
