Mao Gui was surprised when he heard Qin Shaoyou's words. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the browser directly.\nCOM website to watch the fastest chapter updates)
The imperial edict of the Great Xia Kingdom is such a child's play. Can anyone write it?
Or are these red-clothed envoys so domineering that they dare to make false claims?
Mao Gui hesitated, not knowing whether to continue asking.
But when he saw the handsome general, a man suddenly appeared, put his hand in his mouth, and whistled.
A war horse galloped from a distance and stopped in front of this man.
The man took out a roll of yellow brocade embroidered with auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes from his horseback bag.
This brocade is of extraordinary value at first glance, and is very similar to the imperial edict in the play.
In Mao Gui's stunned expression, the man quickly wrote a line of words on the brocade, then took out a seal and stamped it on it.
After finishing, the man sent the 'Imperial Edict' to Qin Shaoyou. After he looked at it and nodded, he directly stuffed the brocade into Mao Gui's hand without waiting for the ink to dry.
Mao Gui has not read many books and does not know many words, but he still recognizes his own name and the words "Mr. Ba".
After he received the 'Imperial Edict', he subconsciously lowered his head and glanced, and indeed saw these words in the brocade.
Just when Mao Gui was surprised and hesitant, Qin Shaoyou spoke again:
"We, the red-clothed envoys, are the emperor's own troops. We are here to quell the chaos in southern Xinjiang. The emperor has given us permission to act expediently, with the power of life and death!
Therefore, although this imperial edict was not written by the emperor himself, it was recognized by everyone in the court.
You should keep it for now, and when things happen in southern Xinjiang, take it to the Dian Prefecture Chief Secretary’s Yamen in exchange for a formal appointment document from the Ministry of Personnel."
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's explanation, Mao Gui finally put aside the hesitation and worry in his heart and no longer doubted the authenticity of this 'imperial edict'.
Under the envious gazes of the local soldiers and generals around him, he carefully hid the ‘imperial edict’ in his arms, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your attention, sir. I will go and send an order to recall the leader Ashang Kui. Bah, recall the troops sent by the traitor Ashang Kui.
There is just one thing, I wonder if you have thought about it? The troops sent by Ashangkui are joining forces with other chieftain troops. Once they withdraw, they will inevitably arouse the vigilance of other chieftain troops..."
Mao Gui's ability to say these words shows that he is sincerely serving Qin Shaoyou and thinking about the court.
Qin Shaoyou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you go and call back the troops sent by Ashangkui. As for other things, we have our own considerations and preparations."
He just wants to spread the news by recalling the local soldiers, letting people know that Ashang Kui has been killed, making the chieftain alliance suspicious of each other, and also letting the people behind the chaos in southern Xinjiang show up to look for them!
These people hide in the dark and are not only difficult to find, but also more dangerous.
Only by alerting the enemy and forcing them out can we handle and solve the problem better.
Of course, just pacifying a place like Pingnanguan will attract the attention of those behind the scenes, but it will not be enough to force them out.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou does not plan to stay at Pingnanguan for a long time.
He must seize the time to put down more rebellious chieftains.
Only in this way can we catch the opponent off guard.
Only in this way can the people behind the chaos in Southern Xinjiang come looking for them without making careful arrangements and judgments, thereby exposing flaws.
However, before leaving Pingnanguan, Qin Shaoyou and the others made a series of arrangements.
In addition to promoting several local soldiers and generals to control the soldiers and maintain order in the city, Qin Shaoyou and others also quietly laid several traps in the ruins of the Tusi Yamen.
According to Qin Shaoyou's judgment, once the people who provoked the war in southern Xinjiang know what happened here in Pingnanguan, they will probably send people or even come to investigate in person to determine their strength and identity.
The Tusi Yamen, where a fierce battle broke out, is the best place to investigate.
By setting up traps here, even if they can't hurt the opponent, they can still find some clues so that they can follow the clues and find out the opponent.
After setting up the trap, Taoist Master Qiu Shi left some Gu insects to serve as sentinels.
Qin Shaoyou took this opportunity to find an earth shrine and a city emperor temple in the city, and lit incense candles.
In the past few years, the imperial court vigorously promoted the Sinicization policy in the territories of these chieftains in southern Xinjiang. In addition to establishing official schools and spreading Confucianism, Buddhist and Taoist beliefs were also introduced.
It is a pity that after Emperor Jianwu came to power, these policies were either abandoned or canceled, which hindered the Sinicization of southern Xinjiang for a time, and the reform of native land and return to local people also failed one after another.
However, temples such as the Earth Temple and the Chenghuang Temple have been preserved.
It is even popular among the people.
As Qin Shaoyou lit incense in the Chenghuang Temple and Earth Temple in Pingnanguan, Cai Guizhong also lit up the 'map' here. He could borrow the authority of the Pingnanguan City Emperor at any time to observe and gain insight into the situation here.
It's a pity that there is no mountain temple in Pingnanguan, which makes Gunshanjun feel that he has nowhere to use his power.
Seeing this, Cui Youguo comforted him: "At least you have temples elsewhere. Unlike me, I still don't have a temple dedicated to Lord Bai Zha... Those who have received my favor are really not worth it.
"
After Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, thinking, isn't this nonsense? All the people who have received your favor from Bai Zhazhenjun have been killed by bombs. Where can a temple be built to worship you? It's almost like digging your grave.
.
After finishing these things, Qin Shaoyou and others mounted their horses and galloped out of Pingan South Pass, heading towards the territory of another nearby chieftain.
When they left, they also strictly ordered the local soldiers in Pingnan Pass not to take the opportunity to cause trouble, otherwise the poisonous insects they released would make the local soldiers experience torture that would be worse than life without waiting for them to come back.
The closest chieftain territory to Pingnanguan is in Yonghua County in the northwest, where the chieftain's name is Tushan.
On the way to Yonghua County, Taoist Master Qiu Shi was thinking about how to deal with the weird Zimu Gu so that he could take some precautions in advance.
Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui made several paper figures while walking, just in case of emergencies.
Soon, a group of people entered Yonghua County.
According to the information obtained by Qin Shaoyou and the others, Tusi Tushan of Yonghua County was proficient in witchcraft and could communicate with ghosts and beasts.
So after entering Yonghua County, everyone cheered up, became very vigilant, and even used supernatural items such as mimicry orders.
I was afraid that an oversight would expose his whereabouts, alert the enemy, and make Tushan take precautions or escape in advance.
Qin Shaoyou and the others rushed to Yonghua County without encountering any accidents.
However, Yonghua County was quiet, with no sound at all.
It was daytime at this moment, so it was obviously unreasonable to be so quiet.
Moreover, the gates of the county town were clearly open, but no one was coming or going.
Qin Shaoyou and the others looked inside along the open city gate, but saw no one.
What's happening here?
Natu Mountain knew of their arrival in advance, so could they stage an empty city plan here?
