Li Hui was shocked when he heard this and said in amazement: "Prefect Wang, where did you start talking about this? I have never done this before. I have never talked to Prefect Huan about anything about Prefect Wang, let alone what you said." These things. I wonder where the news from Governor Wang came from?"
Wang Muzhi sneered: "Of course you denied it. How could you admit such a thing?"
Li Hui frowned and said: "What the official said is true. Wang Taishou does not believe the official, and the official has nothing to do. The official can only say that I have never talked about you with the official Huan, let alone anything with him. The matter of impeachment of Governor Wang. Xiaguan and Governor Huan were not acquainted with each other. If he had not led his troops to pass by the railings and asked me to see him this time, Xiaguan would not have known who the Governor of Lujiang was. Even now, if Governor Wang had not said Without knowing his identity, I didn’t even know he was Huan Da Sima’s nephew.”
Wang Muzhi glared at Li Hui with a gloomy face: "Is this really true?"
Li Hui cupped his hands and said, "I don't have any lies. I would like to ask Governor Wang to give you a clear warning."
Wang Muzhi said in a deep voice: "Then I ask you, what did Huan Xu say to you? Didn't he sow discord with you? This time he sent troops and captured Yuan Jin, the son of Yuan Zhen, and proudly sent him to Jiankang shows off and asks for credit for you, doesn't that mean he has reached a deal with you?"
Li Hui frowned and thought about it, but he remembered a few words that Huan Xu said that day. Huan Xu did say that he would ask for credit for himself, and he seemed to also mention Wang Muzhi's failure to send troops, saying that he would vent his anger on his behalf and report to the court. However, these two I didn’t agree to anything.
But now it seems that Huan Xu really did this. And he did it without asking for his consent. What on earth did he want to do?
"Prefect Wang, there must be a hidden secret in this matter. If what Prefect Wang said is true, then Prefect Huan of Lujiang did it privately, and there is no way that I would agree with him. As for the deal, it is even more nonsense. .”
Li Hui didn't want to reveal too much. He didn't want to convey to Wang Muzhi all the words Huan Xu said to him that night. Because Wang Muzhi didn't deserve his heart.
"You mean, Huan Xu used your name to slander me and at the same time sow discord between you and me?" Wang Muzhi sneered.
"I don't know. If this matter is true, I will go to Huan Xu to ask for an explanation." Li Hui said solemnly.
"Are I trying to lie to you? I, the Wang family of Langya, have a high status in the court. What kind of news do I not know? It's ridiculous that Huanxu's memorial was specially sent to Sanqi Province, bypassing the Shangshu Province. I want to bypass the Shangshu. The servant shot my clan uncle Wang Biaozhi. However, the emperor sent the zhezi to my clan uncle and asked him to see it. The zhezi was naturally laughed at. If you want to use this matter to discredit me, you are miscalculating. Wang Muzhi said in a deep voice.
Li Hui nodded slightly and said: "In this case, why is Taishou Wang so angry? Since this doesn't have much impact on you, why do you come to investigate and scold the lower officials until they are bloody?"
Wang Muzhi said coldly: "I am angry because you deceived me and reached a deal with Huanxu. You actually reached a deal with Huanxu without my permission and helped him. This is cheating. This is It’s an act of disregard for the officer.”
Li Hui suddenly understood. Wang Muzhi was angry not only because of Huan Xu's memorial against him, but also because Huan Xu defeated the enemy, captured Yuan Jin, and achieved great success. And this was Wang Muzhi, and even him The Langya Wang family behind him did not want to see the result.
And he happened to have contributed to this, so he came to talk nonsense about him. In his mind, he seemed to be his, so he should listen to him completely. How could he help his political opponents? He thought that he
This is a betrayal of him.
After understanding this, Li Hui was really speechless. He had never expressed his loyalty to Wang Muzhi. Wang Muzhi had tested his position, and he only stated that he was not on the side of the Huan family. Could it be said that it was either black or white?
Bai, does this count as showing loyalty to Wang Muzhi? This is simply ridiculous.
"Prefect Wang, I don't understand what you are saying. What does it mean to be deceived, and what does it mean to help him reach a deal? Prefect Wang's words make the official extremely confused. In order to protect the food of the people of Juchao County, the official
Isn't it right to lead people to stop the rebels who are robbing food? Before Xiaguan sent out troops, he had already asked Song Yande to report to the Governor Wang. Could this be called not getting the permission of the Governor Wang? Could it be that the Governor Wang thought that the officer should not go to protect the army?
Food?" Li Hui said in a deep voice.
Wang Muzhi shouted: "But you also asked Huan Xu for help, didn't you?"
Li Hui said in a deep voice: "Isn't this right? We learned that there are many enemies who are robbing food, there seem to be nearly two thousand people. With such a large number of enemy troops, shouldn't we unite the troops of the two counties to resist the enemy?
Moreover, the enemy army robbed the grain and grass in the north of Hefei County. Magistrate Huang of Hefei County had already reported it to Grand Administrator Huan before I sent people to Lujiang County, and Grand Administrator Huan had already decided to send troops to annihilate the enemy. The lower official did not understand why Grand Administrator Wang
You are so dissatisfied with this matter. When you are facing a powerful enemy, shouldn’t you give priority to annihilating it? But you still care about these things?”
Wang Muzhi sneered and said: "You also said that you and Huan Xu have no business. Look at you, you look like you are loyal to protect the Lord."
Anger rose in Li Hui's heart. Wang Muzhi's arrogant and condescending attitude had already made Li Hui dissatisfied. Coupled with his previous actions, old and new debts came to mind, making Li Hui unable to hold back his anger. He finally broke out.
"If Prefect Wang said that, what else could Xiaguan say? The deal that Prefect Wang was referring to was that Xiaguan and Prefect Huan's troops cooperated to resist the enemy, captured Yuan Jin, the son of Yuan Zhen, and defeated the enemy.
If I have protected the food of the people in Juchao County, then just treat it as a transaction. As the magistrate of Juchao County, as long as anyone can help me protect the food of the people, Juchao County will not fall into chaos again.
If there is a famine, then the subordinates will make deals with him and help him defeat the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. On the contrary, some people promised to send troops, but in the end no soldiers went. On the contrary, they stationed troops to block the border of Wojuchao, completely ignoring it.
I, the people of Juchao County, live and die. Such people only think about personal gain and loss, and do not care about the people at all. I, Li Hui, despise such a person and look down on him from the bottom of my heart. Such a person, even if he
He is from a noble family, and I, Li Huigao, will never even look at him."
Li Hui's words were like a whip hitting Wang Muzhi's face. Wang Muzhi's face turned pale, and he looked embarrassed and angry.
"Hehehe, good, good. Well said. What a bold maniac, who is the one who relegated me? Well said, well said. Magistrate Li is concerned about the country and the people, and is a great hero. Others are like
He is a simple-minded person who only serves his own purposes. Hahaha, what a big joke." Wang Muzhi sneered.
Li Huidao: "Isn't what the official said wrong?"
Wang Muzhi sneered: "Let me ask you, who am I?"
Li Hui frowned and said, "You are the governor of Liyang County, shouldn't you be responsible for the people of Juchao County?"
Wang Muzhi said disdainfully: "A frog at the bottom of a well can only see the sky as big as a palm. Since you know that I am the governor of Liyang County, you should understand that the responsibilities that I have to shoulder are not only for you in Chao County. Liyang County
Guard the key point in the north of the Yangtze River, and govern the four counties of Liyang, Wujiang, Nanyu, and Juchao. Guard several ferries on the north bank of the river. If I lose Liyang County, the gateway to the capital will be opened, and the situation will change drastically. I am very Li
What Yang County Governor has to do is to guard the gateway to the north of the Yangtze River and the northern gateway to the capital. This is why the imperial court restored Juchao County and requested that the refugees be blocked in Juchao County. It is because the stakes involved are very big. You are
Magistrate of Juchao County, you have nothing wrong with what the people of Juchao County want. But you have to think that all the Liyang County people will be defeated because of your small rebellion in the north of Juchao County.
It would be ridiculous to send all the soldiers to fight in the north of Juchao County. I am considering the safety of the entire Liyang County, not your Juchao County."
Li Hui originally thought that Wang Muzhi was excusing himself, and the sarcastic words came to his lips, but he swallowed them. Because Li Hui smacked Wang Muzhi's words in his heart and felt that they were not entirely excusing and not completely unreasonable.
It's as if I didn't decide to list some places in Juchao County as flood discharge areas in order to preserve the land, dams and more valuable areas? Isn't this also a choice made for the overall situation of Juchao County?
Don't the people in the flood discharge area have any resentment towards themselves in their hearts? Aren't they going to be like themselves now, angry at Wang Muzhi's behavior?
From Wang Muzhi's point of view, he may also need to make a choice. Or maybe what he said is true.
"After I received the news and letter you sent from Song Yande, I originally decided to send troops. On that day, I had already assembled the troops, horses and supplies. All Liyang County soldiers and some other personnel gathered a total of 1,500 people.
That is all the troops that our Liyang County can dispatch. However, I suddenly realized that it is extremely inappropriate to do this. With the small number of troops in our Liyang County, and the irregular troops, we have to face Yuan
The two thousand rebels who really march south may not have a chance of winning. Once defeated, the consequences will be disastrous. If Yuan Zhen's rebels take advantage of our defeat and march straight in, penetrate deep into our Liyang County to attack, harass, burn and kill, and even threaten the safety of our ferries along the north coast of the Yangtze River. That will be
What kind of situation is this?"
Wang Muzhi stood up, walked slowly in the hall with his hands behind his hands, and said in a deep voice.
"...Besides, the information was unclear at that time. How did you know that the rebels went south to grab food with only 2,000 soldiers and horses? What if there were supporting troops and horses in the rear, what if they were testing the truth with 2,000 soldiers and horses? What if I sent all the soldiers and horses?
Sending soldiers and horses to resist the enemy is the most stupid move. What I should do is guard the key passes and make all preparations to prevent the enemy from penetrating deeply. This is what I should do."
"...Why are there blockades around Juchao County? It's very simple. Juchao County is the barrier to the northwest of our Liyang County. If the rebels attack, they can only attack from Juchao County. They are blocked by the big lake in Juchao County.
There is no way to go, so we have to go deep from Ruxu Mountain Pass and the southeastern border of Juchao County. It’s not that I have any special hatred for Juchao County, but it’s because of the terrain. I only have so many county soldiers on hand. If my king
Mu Zhi has thousands or even tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and he has enough manpower to prepare for both sides, so how could I not send troops to rescue him?"
