Chapter 305 The choice of the generals who go out to Shangshan
Li Kun glanced at Xi Ning, his face full of disdain.
"Xi Ning, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, is the fifth rank."
"Xi Ning, you took bribes and perverted the law, abused your power for personal gain, colluded with officials and businessmen, and forced 12 people to die. Do you think you can get out of this crime?"
Xi Ning's face darkened. How could this happen? How could Su Lu, who had just come to Jiangzhou, control so many evidence of his crimes?
Li Kun stopped talking to Xi Ning and continued to look at Zuo Guangping and said: "Captain Zuo, don't you have anything to say? Now, who are you still hiding for?"
Zuo Guangping sneered: "I have nothing to hide. My skills are inferior to those of others. If you lose, you will lose. If you want to kill or behead, it's all the court's order."
Li Kun flipped his wrist, and a small oil paper bag appeared in his palm, exuding a strong fragrance.
Zuo Guangping's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his eyes exuded a bloodthirsty light, as if a hungry beast had seen its own food.
Li Kun flipped his wrist and the oil paper bag disappeared: "Captain Zuo, can you say it this time? The prince has said that if you are willing to say it, you will have your share every day these days."
Zuo Guangping's face turned pale: "Could it be that the prince also eats this thing?"
Li Kun's expression remained unchanged and he said coldly: "Your Majesty has ordered that no one should be contaminated with Fushou Cream. Anyone who dares to eat it will be dragged to the mines to dig coal."
Zuo Guangping took a deep breath and muttered: "That's good, that's good."
Because he had eaten Fushou ointment, Zuo Guangping knew how terrible it was.
Su Lu is the hope of the Han Kingdom. If he is contaminated with this thing, the Han Kingdom will be doomed.
"Click"
The oil paper bag fell on the ground in front of Zuo Guangping.
Zuo Guangping rushed forward, opened the oil paper bag, took out the longevity ointment, took a small mouthful, and showed a drunken expression on his face.
Outside the cell door, Li Kun's face was full of fear. Just a small part of it made Zuo Guangping, the dignified governor of the Governor's Mansion and commanding tens of thousands of troops, look like this.
Second brother's military order is really for everyone's benefit. If you get contaminated by this thing, life is worse than death.
Zuo Guangping took the Fu Shou ointment and the pain in his body was relieved. He held the oil paper packet in his hand and thought that when the pain returned again, he would use the oil paper cloth to relieve the pain.
Glancing at Li Kun outside the cell door, Zuo Guangping's face was filled with smiles again.
"General Li, thank you very much. Thank you Commander-in-Chief for me."
"I, Zuo Guangping, don't know people well. I am to blame for this fate. General Li tells the prince on my behalf that he must not have any contact with the Qi people."
Li Kun's face was stunned. He couldn't interact with Qi Ren?
…
In the central hall of the Governor's Mansion, Li Kun told Su Lu what he had seen.
Behind the brocade couch, Qingfeng and Mingyue clenched their silver teeth, as if they were thinking of that miserable era again, when they complained that the sky was not responding and the earth was not working.
Su Lu leaned against the brocade couch and nodded: "This thing is really harmful to people."
"Okay, all the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou will put up notices clearly indicating the date of Zuo Guangping's beheading. Among the reasons for beheading, we will add the following: private consumption of Fushou ointment."
"Luo Xuan, draft a document and send an order to all prefectures and counties. If anyone dares to open a Fushou plaster shop, his head will be beheaded and his whole family will be killed."
Luo Xuan, who picked up the pen next to him, was a little confused. Will he kill the whole family?
What kind of punishment is this? This is the first time I have heard of it. How to kill it? If brothers and parents are separated, are they considered to be one family?
Su Lu continued: "The article was written in three provinces, describing the dangers of Fushou Ointment, and the whole country was strictly prohibited from opening Fushou Ointment parlors. Anyone who dared to open a Fushou Ointment store privately would have his whole family killed. Businessmen and vendors who dared to sell Fushou Ointment would also have their entire families killed.
.”
Luo Xuan nodded and started drafting the text according to Su Lu's instructions.
Su Ping, who was next to him, asked: "Second brother, the Tang army invaded our country of Han. This revenge must be avenged. The people of Shangshan who were plundered have not been released yet."
Su Lu nodded. If he was in good health, he would have led the army to attack Tangshang Mountain long ago. Who will lead the army now is a question that worries him.
"I am here to lead the army. In terms of qualifications and popularity, I am the number one under your command, second brother."
Su Ping patted his chest and said in assurance.
Su Lu took a look at Su Ping. He was wearing a crimson general's regular robe and his hair was tied with a silver crown, looking very heroic.
What if Su Ping leads the army?
Thinking of Su Ping's character, Su Lu shook his head. Su Ping was too wild-tempered, and something would inevitably happen to his initial leader. The war with the Tang Dynasty must be fought with one blow, otherwise it will continue into a war, which will not be good for both the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Li Kun said with a smile: "Second brother, let me lead the army. I have been cautious since I was a child and I don't make many mistakes. Second brother will feel at ease when he uses me."
Su Lu laughed and scolded: "You two are pretty good at boasting. It's okay to lead an army alone. Let you lead an army of 20,000 people. Think about it for yourselves, can you win the battle?"
The two of them rubbed their heads and stopped talking.
The largest number of troops and horses the two of them had ever commanded was this battle. Each of them led an army, but the number was only four thousand. If they suddenly led an army of twenty thousand, both of them would be a little overwhelmed.
Su Lu glanced at Luo Xuan next to him, his tone helpless.
"If Luo Xuan is not timid about fighting, he would be the most suitable to lead the army."
"Qian Buzhou is guarding Xiting. There is no way to transfer him. The other generals in Xiting are worse than you two, let alone lead the army to attack Tang Dynasty."
"You still need me to direct it myself."
Su Lu sighed.
"Send an order to assemble and train all the guards' troops. They will gather in Shangshan within ten days. If there is any delay, they will be executed."
"Send an order to Zhou Yuan, the chief minister of Anton, to gather troops, horses, food and fodder, and arrive at Shangshan within twenty-five days."
"Qian Buzhou of the Xiting Zuojun in Shuangmiao City was ordered to carry out military formation drills recently, all of which were conducted outside the city. The city defense camp and the guard camp troops were all mobilized to attract the attention of the Qin army."
"Mobilize the grain and grass in Jiangzhou and collect it from Shangshan. We must reach Shangshan within thirty days."
After Su Lu finished giving his instructions, he glanced at Su Ping and Li Kun, who were disappointed:
"In this battle, I cannot personally lead the troops to attack. The two of you will each lead two armies and six thousand troops and horses, forming the left and right wings of the army."
Su Ping and Li Kun clasped their fists together: "The last general will take orders."
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to leave.
In the central hall, the staff generals and captains were all busy, sorting out various military affairs books, mobilizing food and grass in Jiangzhou, and sending messages to Xiting and Anton to ask them to cooperate. These tasks were not difficult at first, but they were added.
The deadline of ten days and twenty days suddenly became tense.
Su Ping and Li Kun walked out of the nave side by side and walked to a covered bridge. When they saw Su Yun feeding the fish, they stopped.
"Xiaoyun, you've only had enough food for a few days, and now you're feeding the fish."
Su Ping said with a careless scolding.
Li Kun was also full of disdain: "These are just white steamed buns. We couldn't even think about it back then. You just feed the fish like this and ruin your family!"
Su Yun glared at the two of them: "What do you two know? Am I feeding the fish?"
"You came to reprimand me for not taking advantage of the leader's vacancy. If you have the guts to go to your second brother, watch carefully. What is this? Whose white-flour steamed buns look like this?"
Only then did the two of them see clearly that the white thing in Su Yun's hand was not a steamed bun, but a round shape, like a stick.
