Chapter 535: Acting on each other, the prefect is worried
"Um!"
Bian Xi nodded, "Ask the general to come to the military tent, and after a quarter of an hour, we will bring the prefect over!"
Naturally, acting requires a complete performance. Bian Xi has explained this to everyone before, but now, the rehearsed drama can finally begin!
Not long after, a dozen generals of all levels entered the Chinese military tent where Bian Xi was!
Bian Xi explained to everyone, and after waiting for a while, personal guards led Ye Mao and two Qiang followers into the military tent!
"General, Lord Ye, the prefect of Maozhou, please see me!"
Bian Xi waved his hand to order the soldiers to retreat, and his eyes fell on the elegant man who entered the military tent!
"Bian Xi, the deputy general under General Zhengxi, has met the prefect!"
Although in terms of rank, Bian Xi is on par with one of the prefects, but the Song Dynasty was dominated by civil servants, so when facing civil servants of the same level, almost all military generals were three points lower!
Although Bian Xi doesn't care about the prefect of Maozhou, in order to perform this scene well, some scenes must be done well.
"It turns out to be General Bian!"
Ye Mao did not ask for help, but also hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.
"Sir, please take a seat!"
In the center of the entire military tent was a huge table, and on the table was the topographic map of the entire Maozhou! Before Ye Mao came, Bian Xi was sitting at the head, and others were sitting on both sides. But now, Ye Mao happens to be sitting
Directly opposite Bian Xi.
After sitting down, Bian Xi asked directly, "Your Excellency is not in charge of Maozhou Fucheng, but you have trekked across mountains and rivers to come to this general. I don't know, but do you have anything important to do?"
Ye Mao looked at everyone, and then asked, "I heard that the person leading the army this time is Lord Shen of Shen Hall. I wonder if Lord Shen is in the army at this time?"
"hey-hey!"
Bian Xi smiled disdainfully, "The commander-in-chief is the general who conquered the west, so he naturally has to coordinate the overall situation! And our army is just to march into Maozhou. Why does the commander-in-chief come in person?
I am the commander-in-chief of this trip. If you have something to do, please just tell me directly."
Ye Mao was startled, Shen Tang didn't come?
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Mao asked, "So, may I ask, General, why did you lead the army to Maozhou this time?"
Bian Xi sneered when he heard this, "Master Magistrate, are you pretending to be confused because you understand, or do you think I am a fool?
All the tribes in Chengdu Fulu, large and small, have become the spies of the Tubo people, and they have even secretly joined forces with the Tubo people.
Naturally, the reason why I led my troops here is to suppress the Qiang people and kill all these rebellious traitors! Once Maozhou is suppressed, I can follow the commander south to wipe out the Tubo people!"
"General, is there some misunderstanding?"
Ye Mao hurriedly said, "The land of Maozhou has always been the capital of the Song Dynasty. Regardless of the Qiang people or the Song people, they are all people of the Song Dynasty. How could they unite with the Tubo people?
There are indeed many tribes in Chengdu Prefecture that have secret contacts with the Tubo people, but they do not include the Qiang people in Maozhou! Doesn’t the general know that just after the Tubo invasion, there was a big battle with Maozhou. In the end, the Tubo people
I retreated only after I didn't take advantage..."
"snort!"
Bian Xi snorted coldly, "The commander-in-chief will make his own decision on this matter! Even if you are the prefect of Maozhou, you have no right to interfere with the movements of our army.
Since you are a court official, please retreat now. If Maozhou really has no other thoughts, then wait for my general to arrive in Fucheng. When the time comes, I will naturally not kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Snapped!"
Ye Mao heard this and suddenly slammed the table, "General Bian! I have been in charge of Maozhou for many years, how dare you still kill the people of Maozhou indiscriminately?
If this is the case, I will try my best to be punished, but I will also report to the court to punish you!"
"Hahaha..." Bian Xi laughed loudly, "Mr. Magistrate, are you threatening me in my tent?
You are the prefect, and I do not have the right to punish you. However, if you threaten me, you are unstoppable! Someone, pull down the two followers and beat them with twenty military sticks each!"
"you!"
Ye Mao stood up angrily, but how could these people care about a prefect?
Immediately, the two Qiang followers were pulled out directly.
After a while, the sound of military sticks and screams came from afar.
"Thank you, General!"
At this time, the anger on Ye Mao's face disappeared and he solemnly bowed to Bian Xi.
It turns out that it was not only Bian Xi who was acting just now, but also Ye Mao.
He quietly made a few gestures to Bian Xi, and although Bian Xi didn't know what the prefect wanted to do, he also wanted to see what tricks he was going to play, so the two Qiang followers caused this 'disaster'.
Bian Xi looked at Ye Mao with a half-smile, and heard Ye Mao say, "General, I have been here in Maozhou for several years, but the Qiang tribe is so powerful that I am just a puppet.
And this time I came here just to meet Commander Shen Tang and help you pacify the Qiang people in Maozhou!"
Bian Xi did not speak. Ye Mao also knew that Bian Xi could not trust him at this moment, so he continued, "Commander Shen Tang's old friend Lu Wuguan and I are of the same year and from the same hometown. I also got Lu Wuguan's secret letter not long ago.
I know some things about Marshal Shen, so I have great confidence that you can pacify Maozhou."
Hearing this, Bian Xi's heart moved slightly!
It wasn't too late for him to get to know Shen Tang. It was Lu You who introduced Shen Tang to Suizhou, so he was very clear about the relationship between Lu You and Shen Tang.
However, he still did not speak rashly. After all, these things are not secrets. They only need to inquire about them to find out.
"General, the Qiang people in Maozhou are extremely powerful. If you want to fight head-on, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot of damage.
However, I have been in Maozhou for several years. Although I have been a puppet, I have been somewhat prepared secretly! Therefore, I am willing to help you..."
Bian Xi smiled and said, "Your Excellency, how to deal with the Maozhou incident, the commander-in-chief will naturally have arrangements! We have already made a decision on how to deal with the Qiang people, and there is no need for you to say more.
You go back and tell the Qiang people that this battle is unavoidable! I have been ordered to go straight to Wenshan. The Qiang people can either choose to submit or fight to the death. There is no other way!"
"you!"
Bian Xi's stubbornness made Ye Mao anxious, "Do you know how much damage this will do to the Song Dynasty's soldiers?
Moreover, in addition to the Qiang people, many small tribes have been united by the Qiang people, and even Weizhou is now under the control of the Qiang people. If you choose a decisive battle, even if you win, how much power will you have to deal with the Tubo people?"
"Come here, send the prefect back!"
Regardless of whether what the prefect said was true or false, Bian Xi had no intention of paying attention to it! He just had to act according to the plan, why take risks?
What if the prefect was sent here by the Qiang people to test him?
