Chapter 220 Appease and Turn Your Face (Big Chapter)(1/2)

Oh my god, I feel like I'm going to die suddenly... Xu Qian's current state is like staying up for 72 hours and then being forced to run a thousand meters.

My heart was beating wildly, teetering on the edge of overload.

Fortunately, he has laid a solid foundation in the refinement realm, and his body is extremely tough and durable. In his previous life, he would have been lined up at the funeral parlor... No, it should have been as early as the fourth or fifth day of cultivating immortality.

Already left with a smile on his face.

"At least I have gained the other party's attention and can communicate well... The most annoying thing is non-violence and non-cooperation. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to be gentle and sit down to drink tea and chat?" Xu Qian thought to herself, pretending on the surface.

The clouds were calm and the wind was gentle, and he said loudly:

"General Xu, do you know what case Yang Chuannan, the commander-in-chief, was involved in?"

Xu Huchen nodded and said in a low voice: "This matter has long been spread in Yunzhou official circles, but the commander-in-chief was wrongly accused."

"Whether it's unjust or not, it doesn't matter what you say. It doesn't matter what the governor says. We have to investigate and find out." Xu Qian explained patiently:

"The governor is here for this case. At present, we do have evidence that is extremely unfavorable to Mr. Yang. However, the governor has not made a reckless decision and has gone to the Capital Command to verify the evidence.

"Master Xu, regardless of the situation, brought three thousand troops to the city. He is trying to force Master Yang to his death."

Xu Huchen snorted coldly: "Don't give me a hat on this general. Last night, the Commander-in-Chief sent a secret report. The governor led a team to storm the residence of the Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Yang was severely injured by a golden gong and was dying.

"Even if Mr. Yang is really guilty, it will be a trial by the three divisions. You didn't go to court and broke into the mansion privately. Don't you just want to get beaten?"

You know what the heck, this is called the speed of the soldiers, not giving the other side a chance to react... If Yang Chuannan is really the mastermind behind this, then he has already rebelled.

"The governor has his own rules for doing things. I know you are not afraid of death, but I still have to remind General Xu that if you want to give military advice, you can. But don't act impulsively. Three thousand soldiers and horses cannot overthrow Baidi City, let alone overthrow it.

Don’t go to Yunzhou.”

After Xu Qian finished speaking, he saw Xu Huchen's eyes glaring, as if he was irritated by his words, and he added leisurely:

"But you have to think about Mr. Yang. He is still in the inn fine and has not even scratched his head. Is General Xu going to sentence him in advance?"

Xu Huchen frowned, indeed hesitant, not as impulsive and violent as before.

"Look, the case has not been fully investigated, and this is what happened to General Xu. When the governor reported to the court, he said that Yang Chuannan supported the troops and threatened him with force... By then, it will not be the governor who comes." Xu Qian threatened.

After finishing, he comforted and said:

"General Li has a close relationship with the capital commander. If you don't believe my words, you should believe hers."

Seeing that both sides were turning their attention to him, Li Miaozhen said thoughtfully: "The current situation is indeed unfavorable to the commander-in-chief, but military admonishment is not the right way. General Xu, don't be impulsive and give the governor some time."

Yang Chuanan and her were comrades-in-arms, so Li Miaozhen's heart was naturally towards Yang Chuannan, but there had to be a method to solve the problem. If military advice was useful, Li Miaozhen would have tried it long ago.

But the problem is that it doesn't work. The Du Commander Division can only mobilize the "Guard Command Division" under the jurisdiction of Baidi City. Although the guard posts in other prefectures and counties in Yunzhou are under the management of the Du Commander Division, the Du Commander has no command.

The power to fight, whenever there is a war, the imperial court is a temporary general.

It is precisely because of various restrictions that Li Miaozhen's Feiyan Army came into being.

The three to five thousand soldiers and horses of the "Guardian Command and Envoy Division" alone could not shake the authority of the governor at all, and their sacrifice was in vain.

"Huh! General, I can wait, but if Governor Zhang can't give me a satisfactory answer, even if I agree, thousands of brothers under my command will not agree." Xu Huchen relented in disguise.

Phew...done! Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

When encountering this kind of conflict, you must not be impulsive, but know how to reconcile it. If you act like other watchers, this will be troublesome.

The famous detective Xu Bai whores instinctively resists war, as many people will die. But this matter does not have to be solved by war.

As for how to deal with it later, it is left to the governor to have a headache.

....

On the other side, all commanded the envoys.

Governor Zhang, who had just finished the reconciliation, was still in a state of anger. He slapped the table and cursed at the officials: "Trash, they are all trash.

"Then Yang Chuannan deserves to die. Even if he is not the mastermind behind the scenes, this charge of dereliction of duty can still get him sent into military exile.

"You, too, commanded the envoys to transport military supplies to the mountain bandits. The amount was so shocking that the entire Yunzhou officialdom was not aware of it? You all deserve to die."

After checking the accounts, we were shocked to find that nearly a quarter of the military supplies shipped to Yunzhou by the Ministry of Industry every year were missing. This included crossbows, gunpowder, firearms, iron ore, etc.

All the officials lowered their heads and silently endured Governor Zhang's spittle, not daring to talk back.

After spitting out the fragrance, Governor Zhang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Just as he was about to start the second half, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside.

A Tongluo barged in aggressively without warning and said loudly:

"Sir Governor, Baidi City has a Guard Division under its jurisdiction. The Guard Commander, Xu Huchen, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to gather outside the south city, threatening to enter the city if you don't let them go."

Entering a city is a euphemism, but it actually means attacking a city.

Governor Zhang stood up in shock, causing a commotion among the dozen or so officials present.

"When did it happen? What's the situation now?" Governor Zhang asked.

"Then Xu Huchen made arrogant words and told you to go see him within half an hour. The hour has already passed..." After Tongluo finished speaking, he saw that all the officials suddenly changed their expressions and hurriedly added:

"Xu Qian and Ranger General Li Miaozhen went out of the city to negotiate. The situation is currently unknown."

Governor Zhang's scalp was numb. He did not expect Yunzhou's army to be so tough and unruly.

My mood at the moment was frightened and angry, but also anxious and worried.

Although Xu Ningyan was good at solving crimes, Governor Zhang knew that he was just a fledgling boy who didn't even have much experience in killing people, let alone dealing with an unreasonable army.

"Who asked him to go? Who asked him to go?"

Governor Zhang slapped the table and roared.

The Tongluo curled his lips, "It was Xu Ningyan who insisted on stepping forward. Originally, according to the Yinluo's wishes, he took Yang Chuannan to defend the city and wait for support.

"Xu Ningyan also said that he would shoulder the responsibility."

To be fair, the strategy adopted by Xu Ningyan was more prudent and correct. When soldiers rebelled, the imperial court usually took appeasement measures and then killed the leaders to serve as a warning to others.

If you can do it without using a sword, try not to move.

However, in Governor Zhang's view, this was clearly beyond Xu Ningyan's business capabilities.

"Lord Song, immediately notify the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities to gather troops and rush to Nancheng. All government officials will be dispatched to maintain public order in the city..."

Governor Zhang made arrangements quickly and without panic, which reflected the qualities a governor should have.

...

"Drive, drive..."

Governor Zhang galloped wildly on his horse, almost breaking his old bones. He didn't even dare to complain to Jiang Lvzhong because the cold wind would pour in, so he only dared to shout "drive" a few times.

According to Governor Zhang's original arrangement, Jiang Lvzhong should rush to Nancheng first, and a fourth-grade gold gong was the most suitable to control the situation.

However, Jiang Luzhong was a stable dog and refused to leave the governor's side. He was afraid that the governor's dog's life would be taken away by possible assassins, so he gloriously gave his blood.

Jiang Lu was also worried in the center, but he was not worried about the Wei Si army attacking the city, but worried about the life of Xu Ningyan.

As Jin Luo who has been on the battlefield, he is well aware of the difficulty and unreasonableness of the army. Xu Qian is very prestigious in the capital and has even killed people in front of the Ministry of Justice's Yamen.

In fact, it was precisely because it was in the capital that the bigwigs in the court were able to avoid it.

This is Yunzhou, a Yunzhou where banditry is serious. Anyone who has his head tied to his belt, regardless of whether he is a bandit or a soldier, is not a soft persimmon.

There is a high possibility of someone being stabbed with a knife over a disagreement.

Gradually, as he approached Nancheng, Jiang Luzhong's ears twitched slightly. He listened carefully for a moment, and then he said with relief: "Sir Governor, there is no need to rush so much. Slow down."

Governor Zhang didn't want to speak, so he turned a deaf ear to Jiang Lvzhong's words and ignored them.

"The war hasn't started yet," Jiang Lvzhong said.

Um?

Governor Zhang was stunned, and as expected he slowed down, reined in his horse, and changed from a gallop to a trot.

"real?"

"Um."

Jiang Lvzhong is a high-level warrior. If a fierce battle breaks out outside the city, he will be able to sense it.

"It seems that the situation is relatively stable." Governor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Xu Qian with admiration: "Is it Xu Ningyan who stabilized the situation?"

Jiang Lvzhong shook his head: "You will know when you go to Nancheng."

After half a stick of incense, they saw the outline of the city wall. Governor Zhang squinted and looked at it. The city defense troops at the top of the city looked like they were facing a powerful enemy. There were soldiers ready in front of chariots, crossbows and artillery.

Governor Zhang clamped his horse's belly and galloped away. He reined up his horse and stopped by the city wall. Holding the hem of his official robe, he hurriedly climbed the steps.

The crimson official robe symbolizes his identity, and no one dares to stop him.

"Sir Governor, you are finally here."

The moment Qianhu, who had a Chinese-character face and triangular eyes, saw Governor Zhang, he felt that the big stone in his heart was finally relieved, and he let out a long breath.

Governor Zhang, who was still anxious when he was on his way, calmed down all his emotions when he climbed to the top of the city, his face was majestic and expressionless.

He stood at the top of the city and watched for a while, then ordered: "Put me down in a hanging basket."

Qianhu said: "I'll just open the city gate. The Tongluo and Ranger generals just left through the city gate."
