Chapter 1777: Abandoned Taiyuan City

"The two Shangguans don't want to argue anymore. Yangqu and Taiyuan have a maximum of one-day schedule. Please ask the two Shangguans to plan for Taiyuan City."

The county magistrate, who had never had much presence in the yamen, had to come forward to persuade the two of them when they saw the quarrels worse and worse.

As the magistrate of Taiyuan, he still had the opportunity to sit on the shore to watch something happened in Yangqu, but Taiyuan City was related to his black hat.

Pan Xiguang picked up the cover bowl on the table and took it to his mouth and blew the heat inside.

On the other hand, Xie Shigong also stopped and clashed with Pan Xiguang in verbal conflict.

"Two Shangguans, please think of a solution. Taiyuan City cannot be misunderstood!" The county magistrate bowed to salute the other party.

Pan Xiguang sipped a small sip of tea and said, "Mr. Yan County, don't worry, the court has sent troops from Shenwu Guard to Taiyuan Prefecture, and I believe that we should be able to arrive in this half day."

"That's good, that's good." The county magistrate secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his worries were relieved a lot.

At this time, I heard Xie Shigong say, "I would like to ask County Magistrate Yan to prepare dozens of fast horses for my generals. The war horses I brought can be exchanged."

"Is General Jie leaving?" County Magistrate Yan looked at Xie Shigong in surprise.

Xie Shigong frowned and said coldly, "What? Is it necessary to discuss with you, the county magistrate?"

"I dare not, I dare not, I don't have this intention. It's really not as good as Yangqu in Taiyuan City. It's a bit difficult to take out dozens of war horses at once." County Magistrate Yan explained.

Xie Shigong said coldly: "I am not taking the war horses from Taiyuan City for nothing. I have said that if you exchange the war horses you brought with you, you will not suffer any loss. The war horses brought by me and my generals are all top-notch horses."

"Yes, yes, yes, don't suffer any loss, don't suffer any loss." County Magistrate Yan dared not talk to a general, so he could only follow it.

Pan Xiguang, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke, "Mr. Yan, prepare as General Jie said, and prepare a carriage and some dry food for the officer."

"Futai is leaving?" County Magistrate Yan hesitated to look at Pan Xiguang.

Pan Xiguang put down the cover bowl in his hand and scolded: "Go and prepare quickly, there are so many questions."

"Yes, yes, yes, the official will go and prepare."

The senior official was crushed to death. County Magistrate Yan, a seventh-rank magistrate, knew that he could not afford to offend these two Shanxi officials. He honestly gave a gift and retreated from the Houya.

Once he left, only Pan Xiguang and Xie Shigong and another deputy general were left in the yamen.

"The Fu Army just said that the reinforcements from the Shenwu Guard will arrive soon. The last general thought that the Fu Army would stay and help Taiyuan City stand for one or two days. When the reinforcements arrive, it is better to restore Yangqu as soon as possible."

Without outsiders, Xie Shigong bluntly ridiculed Pan Xiguang in his words.

Pan Xiguang heard this and knew that Xie Shigong was unhappy because of shirking responsibility. With the current situation in Shanxi, he was surrounded by military generals.

Therefore, he did not show any anger on his face, but instead said to Xie Shigong: "The Shenwu Guard reinforcements are just to appease the magistrate of Taiyuan County. You and I know that reinforcements will not arrive without five or six days."

"The Fujun first abandoned Yangqu, but now he abandoned Taiyuan City. Could it be that he is not afraid of the court's fault in the future?" Xie Shigong said in a indifferent tone.

Pan Xiguang chuckled and said, "I am naturally afraid, but as long as I am not in the hands of the thief and can rely on reinforcements to regain lost land, I believe the court will naturally understand the previous crime of losing land is not a war."

"I wonder where the Fujun is going to retreat next?" Xie Shigong was curious where the other party was going to leave Taiyuan City.

Pan Xiguang picked up the cover bowl again, picked up the lid, and plucked the tea inside, and said lightly: "Go to Yuci first, then to Liaozhou."

"Why don't you go to Qingyuan County and enter Fenzhou? Putong Pass has another army and horse available. Even if the troops in Guanzhong are not enough to suppress the rebellion, you can resist the pass and guard and wait for reinforcements." Xie Shigong said a way to retreat for Pan Xiguang.

He was preparing to go to Putong Pass himself, but now hesitated when he heard that Pan Xiguang was going to Liaozhou.

Pan Xiguang took a sip of tea and said in a faint tone: "The bandits also have a group of soldiers entering Taiyuan Prefecture from Ningwu Pass. The last time they received news, they had arrived in Lin County. In the past few days, they may have arrived near Fenzhou. Liaozhou is in the east, and they can receive news of reinforcements from Shenwu Guards in time, and retreat to Luzhou to get the troops from Luzhou Guards."

"The last general was unable to stop the bandits at Tianmen Pass, and Luzhou Guards were afraid that it would be the opponent of the bandits." Xie Shigong frowned.

In the whole of Shanxi, he didn't think any other troops were the opponents of this bandit army in Datong.

Pan Xiguang smiled and said, "I know that relying solely on Luzhou Guard is not enough, but the time it took for me to arrive at Luzhou Guard is enough to wait for Zhending Prefecture, Yulin Town, Kaifeng Prefecture, and these three reinforcements arrived in Shanxi."

Xie Shigong lifted his eyelids and glanced at Pan Xiguang.

Suddenly, he found that he, a general, was not as good as a civil servant of the other party.

Pan Xiguang said again: "How about General Jie's better go to Yuci County with his own official?"

He was a civil servant, and naturally wanted someone to protect him along the way. In his opinion, General Jie Shigong was the best candidate.

The most important thing is that he and Xie Shigong were already grasshoppers on the same rope. If they could not retake the prefectures that fell into the hands of Liu Thief of Datong with the reinforcements of the court, neither of them would be punished by the court.

"Don't worry, the Fujun will lead the last general to the road together?"

The two of them had just quarreled before the Taiyuan Prefecture lost their city, and now they have to cooperate sincerely again, so Xie Shigong was a little embarrassed.

Pan Xiguang pretended to be blamed and said, "I don't mind anything. Could it be that General Jie can't let go of this little face? Could it be that I still want me to apologize to you?"

"The last general is willing to go to Yuci County with the Fu Army." Xie Shigong agreed with the situation.

It was the same for him to retreat to Yuci or Qingyuan. Now after the other party’s introduction, he also felt that it was best to go to Liaozhou through Yuci County.

Pan Xiguang smiled on his face and said, "The next journey, we must need General Jie's care."

"The Fujun is our governor of Shanxi. Ensuring the safety of Pan Fujun is the last general who should be assigned to him." Xie Shigong also showed a smile on his face.

As for the life or death in Taiyuan City, neither of them mentioned it again.

Because they knew that in less than a day, it would be difficult for the prefectures in Shanxi to have a place to stop the invading bandits.

It took about half an hour to pass.

County Magistrate Yan from Taiyuan City returned to Houya.

"The things the two Shangguans want are all ready. I wonder when the two Shangguans want?"

When Pan Xiguang and Xie Shigong saw that the county magistrate had prepared the things, they immediately left the Houya where they were located.
