After a whole day of noisy chatter, the Anding County Court was still brightly lit until late at night.

In front of a map of the garrison marked with black, red, and blue to the entire territory of Liangzhou, two henchmen wearing Jiewei held candlesticks and lit up for several big people. Duan Gang and Zhang Gui bent their backs slightly, carefully looking at the two large counties of Zhangye and Wuwei that occupied the most important places in Liangzhou.

made such a sudden play during the day, and ordinary people really couldn't get off that stage. Even Ma Ai and Li Shen also had unsightly faces, only to feel that the blood was gushing up involuntarily, and their heads were stretched wide.

However, Duan Taishou looked indifferent, stepped forward and took the document in the hand of the stunned Qing who served as the messenger, and raised his head: "This good news, everyone has seen it! This time the chaos is just a handful of thieves clamoring, and it will soon be pacified, you can rest assured, this Anding County is like the peace of Mount Tai!"

Duan Lequan dealt with it so lightly, and finally dealt with it in terms of face. And after the entertainment, Anding Taishou and Zhangye Taishou were in the Houya study, looking carefully at the Liangzhou garrison map over and over.

The study was silent, even the two little officials with candlesticks held their breath, and in the huge room, there was only the slightest movement of fingers swiping over the garrison map.

In the end, Duan Lequan raised his hand tiredly, pressed the flesh mole on his left eyebrow, and straightened up, but in his words was a sense of relief that the stone had finally fallen to the ground: "It's not what I expected." ”

Starting with this sentence, Duan Lequan turned around and sat down on the side of a few cases, and picked up the report.

This article is unusually concise, and it is not at all like a normal Lubu proclamation that boasts of success. The gist of it is just that someone Wei was added by the Holy Son of Heaven Wei Ling, who stepped forward to quell the rebellion of Zhangye County and kill more than a thousand thieves. During the rebellion, Wei soldier Cao was even more than half a mile away, and shot an old thief with a brocade cloth wrapped around his head, and the thieves carried it away, wrapped it in red cloth, and cried loudly. After this battle, the thief army has retreated in a hurry, the morale of the Han army is greatly expanded, and there are still thieves raging in Wulan, Quedan, Rile, Fanhe counties. Therefore, under the command of Cao Zhiwei Ye, a soldier of the Sili Division, he led 800 elites to pursue along the way to the south, vowing to completely wipe out this thief army.

Seeing that Zhang Gui still didn't understand the mystery in this report, Duan Gang was in the mood to explain a thing or two to his in-laws at this time: "This Wei Ye claims to have started to quell the chaos in Heishui City, where Zhangye County is located, and he is a soldier and brave passer, how can he bypass my county court and Cao Peng's subordinates to mobilize my county soldiers in Heishui City? Even if he can really quell the riots in Heishui City, at this time, as long as he can defend Heishui City, it will be regarded as a great achievement." How can there be a reason for a rash trip out of the city to quell the rebellion with no more than 800 soldiers?"

As he spoke, Duan Yan sneered: "First put down the rebellion in Heishui City, and then go out of the city, go through Wulan, enter the Delete Dan, chase and kill all the way, and come straight to Fanhe? Where is Fanhe County? After walking a few more miles, he will go out of Zhangye and go straight to the southeast." Why didn't he guard Zhangye County well and consolidate the results of victory? Shi Zheng, where is this considered a victory, he is turning defeat into victory in the process of fleeing all the way south, and he is fooling the center just like us!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Bring the messenger who is in a hurry to deliver military information and rush into the guard of honor, and I want to ask him personally!"

At this time, Duan Yan and Zhang Gui seemed to have become one, and the officials who had their own stable county court took the order and left. It didn't take long for a few of the elder soldiers to come to the study with the reckless messenger.

There was such a fuss during the day, and this stunned young man also reacted at this time, the Han law inherited from the Qin system, and has always been known for being strict, not to mention that he still collided with a high-ranking official like Taishou with two thousand stones! At this time, even if he was stunned, he was a little frightened, and as soon as he was caught in the study, he didn't need to be kicked, and he knelt down with a click: "Meet the envoy! Meet the envoy! The villain is a post rider in Zuli County, and when he didn't want to pass on the military information, his brain was dizzy, and he collided with the envoy, and he was guilty of capital crimes!"

Feeling that he had everything under control, Duan Yan had more and more of a minister's graceful bearing, pointed at the messenger and smiled at Zhang Gui: "Shizheng, you see, villains are afraid of power but not virtue, and this saying is set up for this person." ”

Infected by Duan Gang's confident appearance, Zhang Gui also nodded with a smile, and then said: "It doesn't matter if you are summoned, just ask about the battle situation ahead." How, is there still chaos in Wuwei? Can officials from the fallen counties flee south?"

Seeing that the tone of the noble official sitting on the throne softened, the stunned envoy calmed down slightly, and reported honestly: "The chaos in our Zuli County is still small, and there are men in all villages to protect the village. Even the county town has added more manpower, and there has not yet been a large number of thieves attacking the city. It is...... It's ......"

He wanted to say it, but he thought it was a bit ridiculous, but before he could think it clearly, his tongue made his own assertion first: "It's just that there have been a lot of rumors in the county town and the countryside recently, saying that there are Qiang people with ghost needles that can cast curses, stabbing people everywhere. If anyone is stabbed, he will commit a ghost plague, and all the old and young will die, so people everywhere are panicked......"

Hearing this, Duan Gang and Zhang Gui glanced at each other, and couldn't help but stroke their beards and laugh: "Nonsense, it's really nonsense! Fools are suspicious of ghosts, but that's it." Alright, this kind of thing will not be reported, take him down. ”

After sending the county soldiers to take the stunned envoy down, Duan Lequan's face turned cold: "Shizheng, what's the matter? Sure enough, as expected, the so-called quelling the chaos and the so-called winning a thousand levels are just the words of someone Wei! Who knows what he wants to hide behind this good news!"

Zhang Gui listened to Duan Gang's analysis, still with some doubts on his face, and persuaded: "Even if that soldier Cao is engaged in lying about the military situation, but now that others are not here, it is difficult for you and me to give orders to be stable, and it doesn't matter if he lives or dies? Now that it is an eventful autumn, it is better for you and me not to rashly grudge with such Beijing officials. ”

Duan Lequan shook his head, but a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Liangzhou is in turmoil, such a big disaster, there is no person in the top cylinder, how can we and other local guards be able to pass the test in the center? The two county guards of Ma jointly sent a name to the center, and they impeached the soldiers of the subordinate department of the division Cao to engage in Wei Ye, carved the Qiang department, and killed the good and risked the merits, which was the main culprit who provoked this Qiang rebellion!"
