stand back, let me come

Chapter 404 404: The old country and the old man [Two in one]

"A soldier's morale can't be bought with two thousand stones of food and grass. I think Wuhui you should know this truth better than me."

The lord general smiled suddenly, remembering some interesting past events, "Wu Hui, I believe in your vision, but it is impossible to trust the person you like because of this. Don't you sometimes miss your eyes? You trust your lord, I trust You, but it doesn't mean that I will trust the lord you trust. It's like, although Governor Shen is the governor of Longwu County, he can't manage Yonggu Pass."

As the sheriff, Shen Tang is indeed grasping the power with both hands.

But it does not include Yonggu Pass. The soldiers and horses of Yonggu Pass have nothing to do with Longwu County. You can have military power, but you don't have soldiers.Even if the envoy is Chu Yao, the most indebted Fa Xiao in his life is the same.How can public and private be confused?
Even if he gave up his military power, Shen Tang couldn't move it.

There are only more than 2 garrisons left in Yongguguan, [-]% of which are his private troops, and the remaining [-]% belong to Longwu County.Even if Shen Tang gets the military power, theoretically, only [-]% of them can command, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to command.Because these [-]% of the troops were left by the former county guards, they only recognized the general who led them to repel the invasion of Shi Wu countless times.

The general didn't make it too clear.

But it's no different than spreading out.

For Chu Yao's sake, he can ignore that Shen Jun's troubles, as long as he doesn't stab Yongguguan in the back, he will guard the gate safely, and the other party will be his sheriff safely, and the two sides can stay in the same place.But if you overstep...

At worst, the main general will lead his troops to fight at home.

For example, looting Shiwu, and supporting war with war.

For him, it is enough to be able to do ten things.

As for where to fight, it doesn't matter.

Sticking to Yongguguan is only because of the kindness owed to the former county guard, and he has been stationed here for more than ten years.

Chu Yao's voice was indifferent, but with unquestionable firmness: "My lord, naturally has this ability."

The chief general was slightly startled, and asked, "Why?"

He asked again: "Maybe he has a national seal in his hand?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Quan's pupils trembled.

Master Yu was startled for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on.

Chu Yao's expression was calm.

Commander: "It was my carelessness. I shouldn't have misunderstood that you followed Zheng Qiao to restore your literary heart. Your temperament has not changed from before, but this is also your biggest flaw. In fact, even if you verbally admit that it is Zheng Qiao, I will believe it. "

At first, he was misled by Master Yu and subconsciously misunderstood Zheng Qiao, but when he calmed down, he felt that something was wrong. He had seen Chu Yao's bad temper since he was a child.

This man became stubborn, and outsiders had nothing to do with him.

For example, when Wenxin was changed to such a great extent, except for a few witnesses, the rest of the people did not know it at all.

Including the general.

He didn't know that such a thing had happened until his father confessed his last words on his deathbed. Of course, Chu Yao's ability to hide it perfectly was also related to the general's carelessness.He once wondered why Fa Xiao didn't like to wear Wenxin monograms anymore, but the latter just said indifferently [I'm afraid you will feel inferior when you see him].

Looking back later, there were flaws everywhere.

Chu Yao said: "Because there is no need."

How good is his lord, why should he hide it?

Recognize Zheng Qiao?

He was afraid that he would have nightmares at night.

The chief general frowned: "If you think that a mere national seal can do anything, you may think too highly of it. The national seal can never prove anything." nor will it perish.

Which country does not have a national seal?

This thing is the original sin in the hands of the weak, everyone is innocent, and it is the crime of the king of Hades. Shi Wu knows that it will only make him more excited; in the hands of the strong, it is just icing on the cake.He thought Chu Yao wouldn't believe in it.

If Shen Tang's confidence in wanting to seize military power is only a piece of the national seal, the general can only say that it is regrettable.

He might even attack Shen Tang first.

The reason is simple -

The general didn't know how Chu Yao planned, but a piece of the national seal ran to Yonggu Pass, and outside the pass was Shiwu's territory. They have been coveting the national seal for not a year or two.If even a little bit of news leaked out, why didn't Shiwu mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses overnight?Use the most troops, the fastest speed, and the least cost to take away this national seal before Zheng Qiao and his ilk react.

In order to prevent Shi Wu from going crazy and doing things, and also to prevent the future troubles caused by Guoxi falling into Shi Wu, the master can only act first and nip the danger in the bud.

The general suppressed his emotions and tried to communicate peacefully with the former Fa Xiao: "You can go anywhere, but you shouldn't come to Longwu County. Is this national seal more meaningful for guarding the customs, or is it more likely to send a big gift to Shiwu?" Big……"

"Who can afford the consequences?"

"Is it you? Or your lord Shen Jun?"

"Or the common people of Longwu County?"

Facing the general's calm questioning with a bit of murderous intent, Chu Yao just said: "As long as the lord is here, there will be no accidents at the national border barrier. If there is no problem with the national border barrier, there will be [-] to [-] troops stationed in Yongguguan, and they will be safe and sound." The lord wants to stay in Heyin, which is becoming more and more prosperous, to make plans, but the real lord Zheng Qiao has neglected her duties, so she can only act as the emperor, that's all."

"Whether Guoxi can do something or not depends on whose hands it is."

Commander: "..."

He didn't continue to refute anything.

He just frowned and pondered, his eyes swept over Xu Quan and the two, recalling the changes in their expressions just now, he asked Chu Yao in a casual tone as if they were chatting with old friends: "Is there any need?"

Xu Quan and the two were puzzled: "???"

Why did the topic change so quickly? ? ?

Chu Yao's face was slightly green, and he said, "No need."

The chief general didn't seem to trust Chu Yao very much, and glanced at Xu Quan and the two again: "Are you not worried about side effects?"

Seeing that both of them were at a loss, Chu Yao understood that the former Faxiao was asking him if he needed to kill someone to silence him.

After all, judging from Xu Quan's reaction, they don't know much about Guoxi, and they are worried that the two will leak the secret.

And the dead are the most secretive.

Just turn around and say that it was the gangsters who killed him.

Chu Yao knew his method too well.

only--

No need!
Chu Yao: "You are the biggest 'side'!"

The predecessor he knew was more than ten years ago. During these years, he is not sure how much the other party has changed, and there is no guarantee that the other party will do something "crazy".

The national seal is a double-edged sword for Yonggu Pass.

And the general didn't trust Shen Tang.

This sword will do him no good.

After all, it is indeed difficult for a new county guard who is about to seize military power as soon as he comes up, to win the approval of the veteran.

The general laughed when he heard this comment.

"That's true."

Chu Yao: "..."

The chief general casually ordered Lu Jue.

"Well, it's up to you. You go back and report a letter to your lord, saying that Mr. Cao of your family is a guest at Yongguguan, and catch up with old friends. He is not in a hurry to hire people. He can wait for three to five months, and he will definitely let Wu Huiwan is ready to go back. If you are in a hurry, please come to the door in person. The key to seizing military power lies in the morale of the army, and let me see, how dare a yellow-mouthed child make such a bold statement!"

When Lu Jue heard it, this was the rhythm of detaining people.

Dang even got up angrily.

But no matter how good his talent was, he couldn't stand it too late, and was directly overwhelmed by the power of the general, who was calm.

"Brute force is not enough to convince the sergeant. Are all the warriors under Shen Jun's camp as reckless as you?"

Lu Jue's face was ashen.

Until Chu Yao said: "Shousheng, go and deliver a letter."

Lu Jue said: "But..."

Chu Yao: "Wen Shi is still there, and I am not powerless. Although the two of us can't do anything to Yongguguan, it is still possible to work together to open the eyes of General Chu and Master Yu. At that time I think Shiwu, the 'fisherman', will be very happy to lose two of them in the army. General Chu always puts the overall situation first, and he will not neglect us, so you can rest assured."

Commander: "..."

It was the first time to be threatened by Chu Yao.

He didn't mean anything else by "detaining" people. He just wanted to see whether the yellow-mouthed boy who Chu Yao said was "acting in the role of emperor" was really good at speaking, or if he really had something special.

It's hard to be convinced just by Chu Yao's mouth.

If he is the only one, he can believe it.

But he is the chief general, and he cannot easily believe that more than 2 brothers have entrusted their lives to him.

So, seeing is believing.

If the goods are not on the right board, Yongguguan is also a good place to start, to nip hidden dangers in the bud.

It just depends on whether Shen Jun has the courage to go to the meeting alone.

Lu Jue struggled for a few breaths.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and took the order.

"By the way." Chu Yao glanced at Master Yu's book with sneering eyes, and told him, "Remember to ask Wei Heng to come too."

Lu Jue was momentarily at a loss.

Why did you bring Yu Zi to this occasion?
Yu Zi, now the word "Wei Heng".

"only."

Lu never dared to delay the slightest and galloped all the way.

I'm afraid that my husband will be wronged if I procrastinate for a long time.

In fact, Chu Yao was indeed wronged.

Because the conditions at Yongguguan are difficult.

The latest batch of fresh military rations was sent by Shen Tang.

Ever since Zheng Qiao flirted with Shi Wu and flirted with each other secretly, life for the guards at Yonggu Pass was not easy, because the immediate boss took the lead in cooperating with the enemy.Originally, there were still 2 guards in Longwu County, some of them died in battle while defending the city, and most of them chose to be deserters. The remaining [-] were all screened through layers. Their willpower is extraordinary, and it is difficult for outsiders to control them. .

"That's the condition, just deal with it."

As a distinguished guest, Chu Yao received the same treatment as him.

It can be seen that the chief general is not well-off.

Chu Yao is used to suffering, so he doesn’t think it’s unacceptable, and his expression is as usual, but Xu Quan can’t eat, complaining: "This pancake is so hard that it can break your teeth... Bah, it’s still eaten by people. Yonggu shut down the salary for a long time , just eat this?"

The chief general snorted, "This is not bad."

Xu Quan pursed his lips, but he still ate.

Curious again: "Salary break, how do you solve it?"

Commander: "Lend it to a neighbor."

Xu Quan didn't turn the corner for a moment: "Neighbor?"

Immediately thought of something.

There have been similar examples before. The guards were cut off by their superiors. In order to feed their subordinates, the generals led people to rob the common people in the territory every now and then.

Only robbing wealth, not killing lives, and the common people under the rule are complaining.

This guy won't do the same, will he?
But the general's next sentence dispelled his guess: "There is nothing else in Shiwu Napo, there are many cattle, sheep and horses."

All meat.

Some tribes on the Shiwu border were also afraid of being robbed by them. In addition to the cold weather, all tribes, big and small, migrated away.

Xu Quan: "...backhand to rob Shiwu?"

The master general was amused by these words: "Otherwise? If you are hungry, you will get something to eat. The enemy's food is delicious!"

Seeing that Xu Quan was born white and clean, he was still young.

He laughed, which made Xu Quan unhappy.

"What are you laughing at?"

The general asked: "You fight according to the book of war?"

Xu Quan: "...you!"

Isn't this obviously mocking him for being young?

The general stayed for a while, and seeing that Chu Yao treated him very coldly, he didn't bother himself, got up and left, and didn't imprison Chu Yao and his activities, and let them wander around in Yonggu pass.Xu Quan was worried: "If the lord comes..."

Chu Yao said: "My lord will come."

Xu Quan: "This is too dangerous."

This main general is obviously not a good stubble.

Chu Yao didn't know: "You have to find a way to break the situation, otherwise you will be tied up. It is difficult for the [-] elites in Yongguguan to subdue. It is useless to kill the general. If the general is gone, they will probably disperse like birds and beasts, and then hold the banner of revenge for the general. Make trouble. Incorporate? It’s not bad to be able to incorporate one or two Chengdu. Our army only has more than [-] soldiers and horses, and we can’t fill this hole. The best way at present is to stabilize him. The lord does not need his loyalty, but only his soldiers and horses... ...Besides, the danger is not that great."

Xu Quan didn't believe it: "How can it be small?"

Accompanied by Xu Quan, Chu Yao boarded the city wall, and what he saw was the vast and desolate snow-capped mountains, and the sky was gray.

"His purpose is to defend the Yonggu Pass and repel the Ten Crows, and our purpose is also the same. Apart from the conflict over military power, the two sides have no other disputes, let alone life and death enmity. A win-win situation is far better than mutual internal friction. ... He probably has the same plan. He needs food and grass, and we need his soldiers and horses. This is not impossible to discuss. The key now is to let him see the lord and reassure him of his doubts."

"Will the lord break the situation as soon as he comes?"

"My lord, I will convince him." Chu Yao said.

Relying on robbing Shiwu can solve the temporary food crisis, but it is not a long-term solution. Longwu County also needs to cultivate life and rest. If it is a reliable county guard, it is of course a good thing.

It can be a win-win situation, so why bother?
More than 2 elite soldiers who have experienced many battles in vain...

This is a good thing that the sky is falling.

Chu Yao's plan was not so peaceful and friendly before he learned that the lord general was a young man. He planned to start with Master Yu. The process was a little bit bloody, and it was estimated that [-]% of the guards would be bloodbathed.But the main general was Fa Xiao... so he changed his mind.

He intends to be an empty-handed white wolf.

Xu Quan remembered another thing, and his face was strange.

"But if that's the case, won't you be uncomfortable, sir?"

"Uncomfortable?" Chu Yao was puzzled, "Why is it uncomfortable?"

"Those two people... are also half-enemies?"

Only then did Chu Yao know what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "The real enemy has already drowned in the latrine, and the teacher has been buried in the earth. Yu Shizhong is just taking orders... As for him, he is innocent... In your eyes, the old man is actually such a narrow-minded person ?”

Xu Quan hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, that's definitely not what I meant."

Chu Yao teased with a smile: "Jiang Xiandeng's enmity with Qi Yuanliang is no worse than this old man's. They can bear it. How can this old man not bear it? It is a great cause for the Lord! A little intolerance will lead to chaos and big schemes!"
