Chapter 268
268 Pacify and fall out (big chapter) _1
Oh my God, I feel like I’m going to die … Xu Qi ‘an’s current state was like staying up for 72 hours and then being forced to run a thousand meters.
His heart was beating wildly, hovering on the edge of overload.
Fortunately, he had a solid foundation in the spirit refinement realm, and his body was extremely resilient and durable. If it was the him in his previous life, he would probably be lining up in the funeral parlor … No, it should be that he had already left with a smile on the fourth or fifth day after he had started his cultivation.
‘At least I’ve gained the other party’s attention and can communicate properly … I hate non-violence and non-cooperation the most. Can’t we be more gentle, sit down, have some tea, and chat?” Xu Qi ‘an thought in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said loudly,
“General Xu, do you know what case yang Chuannan, the head of the military, is involved in?”
yes. Xu Huchen nodded and said in a low voice, ” this matter has long been spread in the officialdom of Yunzhou, but the commander has been wronged.
“It’s not up to you to say whether I’m wronged or not. The governor’s words don’t count, we’ll only know after checking.” Xu Qi ‘an explained patiently, ”
“The provincial governor is here for this case. At present, we do have evidence that is extremely unfavorable to Sir yang, but the provincial governor did not rashly make a decision and has already gone to the commander’s office to verify the evidence.
“Lord Xu didn’t care and brought three thousand soldiers to the city. He’s forcing Lord yang to a dead end.”
Xu Huchen snorted coldly. don’t try to make me look bad. Last night, a secret report came from the commander’s office. The provincial governor led a team to attack the commander’s mansion. Lord yang was severely injured by a golden gong and is on the verge of death.
“Even if Sir yang is really guilty, it’s still a joint trial by three divisions. You didn’t go to court and barged into the mansion, aren’t you just trying to force a confession out of him?”
What do you know? this is called speed in war, not giving the other party a chance to react … If yang Chuannan was really the mastermind, he would have already started a rebellion.
“The provincial governor has his own way of doing things. I know you’re not afraid of death, but I still have to remind general Xu that you can remonstrate if you want. But don’t act rashly. Three thousand soldiers can’t overturn White Emperor City, much less the clouds Plains.”
Xu Qi ‘an saw Xu Huchen’s eyes wide open as if he was angered by his words, so he added slowly, ”
“But you have to think about Sir yang. He’s still in the relay station, and his crimes haven’t even been confirmed yet. Is general Xu going to sentence him in advance?”
Xu Huchen furrowed his brows. He was indeed a little hesitant, and he wasn’t as impulsive and violent as before.
“You see, the case hasn’t been investigated clearly, and general Xu is already like this. When the provincial governor reported to the Imperial court, he said that yang Chuannan had his own army and was threatening them with force … At that time, it won’t be the Imperial inspector who will come.” After Xu Qi ‘an threatened her, he comforted her, ”
“General Li and the Commander-in-Chief are very close. You don’t believe my words, but you should believe her, right?”
Seeing both sides looking at her, li Miaozhen pondered and said, “”The current situation is indeed disadvantageous to the commander, but military admonishment is not the right way. General Xu, don’t be rash. Give the governor some time.”
She and yang Chuannan were comrades in arms, so li Miaozhen’s heart was naturally on yang Chuannan’s side. However, there must be a way to solve problems. If military advice was useful, li Miaozhen would have tried it long ago.
But the problem was that this was not possible. The capital commander division could only mobilize the “guard commander division” under White Emperor City. Although the guard divisions of the other counties and prefectures of Yunzhou were managed by the capital commander division, the capital commander division did not have the power to direct the battle. In every war, the Imperial court was a temporary commander.
It was because of all these restrictions that li Miaozhen’s Flying Swallow Army was born.
With just the three to five thousand soldiers of the “Wei capital commander Department,” they could not shake the authority of the governor at all. They would have sacrificed themselves for nothing.
“Hmph! I can wait, but if Governor Zhang can’t give me a satisfactory answer, even if I agree, the thousands of brothers under me won’t.” Xu Huchen admitted defeat.
Hu … Done! Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief.
When faced with such a conflict, one must not be impulsive and know how to smooth things over. If he did it like the other night watchmen did, it would be troublesome.
The famous detective, Xu bailing, instinctively resisted war, as it would cause many deaths. And this matter didn’t necessarily have to be solved by war.
As for how to deal with the aftermath, it would be left to the provincial governor to worry about.
….
On the other side, the commander’s office.
Governor Zhang, who had just finished checking the accounts, was still in a state of anger. He slammed the table and scolded the officials,”Trash, all of you are trash.
“That yang Chuannan deserves to die. Even if he wasn’t the mastermind, this crime of dereliction of duty is enough to banish him from the Army.
“All of you are too much. The Commander-in-Chief is sending military supplies to the mountain bandits, and the entire Yunzhou’s bureaucracy didn’t notice such a shocking amount? All of you deserve to die.”
After checking the accounts, they were shocked to find out that nearly a quarter of the military supplies sent to Yunzhou by the Ministry of Works every year had gone missing. This included crossbows, gunpowder, firearms, and iron ore.
The group of officials lowered their heads and silently endured the spittle of provincial governor Zhang, not daring to talk back.
After exhaling a fragrant aroma, provincial governor Zhang picked up his teacup and took a sip. Just as he was about to start the second half, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.
A copper Gong barged in aggressively without any prior notice and shouted, ”
“Lord Governor, commander Xu Huchen of White Emperor City’s guard division has gathered three thousand soldiers outside the southern gate. They’ve said that if you don’t let them go, they’ll enter the city.”
Entering the city was a euphemistic way of saying it, but it was actually attacking the city.
Governor Zhang stood up in shock, causing a commotion among the ten-odd officials present.
