Chapter 271: The Right General of the Protector Country
"You mean...... Let Xiao Yan's deputy general Gu Tian send this holy decree?" Yan Cai'er guessed that Cao Bian said that the best candidate, except for Gu Tian, who was locked in prison, she couldn't think of anyone else who was the most suitable.
"That's right, it's Gu Tian!" Cao Bian nodded slightly, and said: "Although Gu Tian is only a deputy general, his reputation in the army is not lower than Xiao Yan, he is never stingy with his subordinates, and he is almost mixed with the generals and soldiers, Gu Tian is definitely the best candidate to send this holy decree, let him go more convincing, but Gu Tian also participated in the rebellion against the imperial power and committed a heinous crime, I wonder if Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is willing to pardon him?"
Yan Cai'er fell into deep thought, and then expressed her concerns, "Among the many people who seek power and usurp the throne, Gu Tian is a more active one, knowing that Xiao Cheng has long had wolf ambitions, but he still helps Xiao Cheng with all his heart, this princess pardoned his crimes like this, I'm afraid something is wrong! This princess does not kill innocents indiscriminately, it does not mean that this princess is tolerant and generous enough to be merciful to those who have committed heinous crimes, this princess mainly pardons him, how can he serve the public in the future?" Everyone knows that this princess is soft-hearted, and everyone wants to step on the head of this princess, could it be that this princess has to kill the Manchu Dynasty again?"
Cao Bian hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess is angry! Gu Tian has committed such a heinous crime, even if he dies ten times, it is not enough, but if he is allowed to make meritorious service in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers carefully cultivated by the Yan Kingdom, his subordinates feel that it is worth it!" Yan State is now ushering in a comprehensive reform, the treasury has the financial resources of civil and military officials, it is indeed a lot better than before, but there are still many places where silver needs to be used in the future, and I want to vacate the excess silver to recruit troops and buy horses, and make up for the original more than 100,000 elites, no matter how it is calculated, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly, and the subordinates think that the current Yan State has just entered a new stage of reform, and it cannot be consumed at all, and the generals of the fourteen cities will not give us time, and the enemy country that is eyeing the tiger is even more intolerant of the recovery of the sick Yan State. What Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess said is important, but the premise is that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has to stand firm in order to display the majesty of the royal family, and it is better to focus on the overall situation now. ”
Yan Cai'er thought about it again, and finally sighed and compromised: "It's this princess who is willful, people are easy to die, and the heart is difficult to punish, even if everyone is killed, it is not a good thing for Yan Guo, according to the current situation, the first task is to stabilize the order, we can kill one, a group, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to ensure that the people who have deep grievances, or the people sent by the enemy country to provoke trouble, take advantage of the chaos created by the emptiness of national strength, and a small trouble in three days, Otherwise, the common people will not be able to suffer and complain, and over time, they will inevitably join the troublemakers, and the troubles will slowly brew from these small things, and it is really difficult to make a choice in the face of the helpless people. ”
Force can solve all problems, but it is difficult to supervise people who want to make trouble at all times, there are 14 big cities in the whole country, 36 small towns, villages are everywhere, and the population is countless, so how to govern and control it?
A person can be invincible in the world, and he can also create an immortal dynasty, but if there is no subordinate to help deal with complicated trivial matters, no matter how powerful the dynasty is, it will be chaotic, and the area under its jurisdiction will be chaotic.
Therefore, at this time, we need some capable subordinates to help govern the huge area, and the king of big things will come forward, and the small things will be dealt with, and each will perform its own duties, so as to benefit one party.
Yan Guo is now facing the people's hearts and minds, and the generals who hold military power are likely to spread rumors everywhere in order to save their lives, leading innocent soldiers and people to rebel, and it will be difficult for Yan Cai'er to choose at that time.
"It is said that Gu Tian is stubborn by nature, no matter whether he does things or behaves, he is like a cow, and the things he believes will not be easily changed, if he only recognizes Xiao Cheng as his master, and we killed Xiao Cheng yesterday, do you think he will still be willing to send the holy decree? Or escape from the prison under the pretense of sending the holy decree, and rebel with heavy generals What should you do? How do you ensure that he will no longer have the heart of rebellion and is willing to follow this princess?" Yan Cai'er looked at Cao Bian with a serious expression.
"Gu Tian is a bit stupid, but he is also a filial son, he has an eighty-year-old mother at home, and a sister who builds the foundation realm, his sister suffers from a strange disease, which causes her to be paralyzed and fall into a deep sleep, and Gu Tian's mother is an ordinary person, she has no cultivation and realm, his mother just wants to see her daughter return to normal before she dies, and Lord Zhou may be able to help!"
Cao Bian glanced at Zhou Geng, who was still drinking tea, out of the corner of his eye, and then said: "Lord Zhou's medical skills are excellent, if we can help Gu Tian's sister wake up, according to Gu Tian's character, we will definitely die for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Gu Tian was so active in participating in the rebellion, according to his subordinates, he wanted to wait for the rebellion to succeed and ask the old lady doctor of the Tai Hospital to help his sister treat him, so he would die in Xiaocheng. ”
"If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is still worried about his rebellion, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can promote him to a general first, but he can't let him bring too many soldiers, it is best to promote a general at the same level as him, forming a situation of mutual containment. ”
"When the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom are strong and completely settled, if they still have pure rebellious intentions, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can kill them without hesitation, and his subordinates will have nothing to say. ”
"If they don't have the idea of rebellion and choose to live honestly, it may not be a good thing for Yan Guo, it reflects the generosity and tolerance of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Enwei and Shi will definitely make all parties surrender!"
Cao Bian, as a military general, is no worse than Wenchen in terms of thinking and strategy, perhaps this is what people often say is both civil and military, he can lead troops to fight externally, and he can govern the country and secure the country internally, and he is a shining gold in any place.
"You have already thought about the plan, then this matter will be left to you with full authority!" Yan Cai'er spoke again: "You just said that Gu Tian was promoted to a general, and by the way, a general of the same level was promoted to form a containment trend, then he was promoted to the left general of the protector of the country, and you were promoted to the right general of the protector, what do you think?"
Cao Bian's excited lips trembled, and he immediately clenched his fists, knelt down on one knee and said: "Thank you for the promotion of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, my subordinates are willing to go to the soup for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and never give up!"
Yan Cai'er looked at Cao Bian, who was trembling with excitement, "A few days ago, when Yan Kingdom fell into the most dangerous life and death situation, you still did not betray this princess, and escaped from the imperial city as a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but instead boosted morale and led the soldiers to stick to the last moment, just by virtue of this, the position of the right general to protect the country, you Cao Bian deserve it!"
Cao Bian's eyes were blazing, and he was resolute: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, for your appreciation! Your subordinates will definitely live up to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's high expectations! If Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has no other orders, the subordinates will go to do things first." ”
"Well, there you go!"
Cao Bian just turned around and walked two steps, suddenly thought of something, and turned back again and said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, can your subordinates invite Lord Zhou to go with you, without Lord Zhou's medical skills, my subordinates may be difficult to convince Gu Tian." ”
Fang Cai was so excited that he forgot about this matter, Cao Bian secretly scolded himself for never making such a low-level mistake in the future, no matter what happened, he had to keep a clear head at all times, otherwise sooner or later he would miss a big mistake.
"Lord Zhou can't live if he doesn't see this princess for a moment, so let's go together! lest Lord Zhou lose his attention when he uses his medical skills, not only did he not save Gu Tian's sister, but he also killed people, then the plan you had been thinking about for a long time would be in vain. ”
Yan Cai'er said that Zhou Geng couldn't do without her, but in fact, she couldn't do without Zhou Geng, as long as her eyes were open, she couldn't let Zhou Geng disappear from her sight, and her possessiveness was quite strong.
Cao Bian smiled and expressed understanding......
How could he not see that Yan Cai'er loved Zhou Geng to death, and regarded Zhou as an irreplaceable treasure, loving each other more than himself, as a subordinate, he didn't dare to ask more about the king's affairs, lest it be bad to offend the scales.
"Don't drink it, there's something I need your help with now, don't ask too much, just follow me!"
Taking away the teacup in Zhou Geng's hand, Yan Cai'er took his hand and took them to fly in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the gate of Gu Tian's private mansion.
Knock knock knock......
Cao Bian knocked on the vermilion door of the mansion, and after a while, a crack slowly opened at the door, and an old woman carefully poked her head out, saw that it was three strangers, and quickly closed the door.
Bang!
The three of them were full of question marks, and Cao Bian opened his throat and shouted: "Please open the door, we have no malicious ......"
The old grandmother said through the door: "I don't know you, you leave quickly, otherwise when my son comes back, he will definitely not spare you!"
Looking at this situation, they have no way to enter through the gate today, they can only climb over the wall to enter, although it is rude, there is no other good way at present.
The old grandmother stood at the door, her ear was on the door panel, listening to the movement outside, and after listening to the old man for a long time, there was no sound outside, and she was relieved to hold on to her crutches.
"Sigh! ”
When the old grandmother turned around, the three people outside the door were already standing in front of her, so frightened that the soles of her feet slipped.
"You...... How did you get in!" The old woman pushed Cao Bian away, picked up the crutches in her hand and pointed at the three of them.
"We ...... Kick your feet and come in. Cao Bian explained.
The old woman subconsciously looked at the wall of about three meters, and said with a face full of disbelief: "Who are you fooling? Is it so easy to get in with such a high wall? Are you also the evil demons of witchcraft today......?" Help!"
