Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 871
Although the order from the county government was very urgent, Chun Yu'an finished his business at hand, and then left for Suyu County. When he arrived, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

In fact, Chun Yu'an originally didn't want to come to see Mi Tong. Although Mi Tong was his nominal chief official, this relationship of upper and lower control was more of an appearance, and Chun Yu'an still took orders directly from the Governor's Office of Xuzhou.Moreover, Mi Tong was most likely the one who drove the rebel army to attack him behind the scenes. Whether he was timid or angry, Chun Yu'an didn't want to have too much contact with Mi Tong.

But if he didn't come, he was worried that Mi Tong would use this as an excuse to directly send troops to attack him.The main force of the Xuzhou army is currently mainly distributed on the Qing and Yan lines, and there is Huaiyin where Xijian is located. The closest to the prime minister is only Sikou with more than 3000 guarding the Huai Shui army.If Mi Tong was really strong, Zuo Jin really didn't have the power to deter him.

Fortunately, Xu Ning was with him, and Huainan Army Liu Di also agreed to escort him all the way. With these two guarantees, he believed that Mi Tong would not dare to oppress and humiliate him too much.Especially Liu Di of the Huainan Army, although he is a humble and few soldiers, he represents the face of the Huainan Governor's Mansion. No matter how bold Mi Tong is, he will never dare to offend Huainan Lianggong.

Mi Tong naturally did not have the mobilization power and material foundation of Huainan, so the newly built Suyu city was so narrow that a large number of people could only stay in the camp outside the city.When Chun Yu'an and the others arrived, they could clearly feel a chilling atmosphere in the barracks outside the city.

No matter how powerful these army leaders in Xuzhou are, it is impossible for them to support thousands of out-of-production elite soldiers at every turn. Therefore, most of the soldiers are half-battle and half-garrisoned, even if the army leaders have their own private soldiers. .After all, although there are many hills in Xuzhou, there is still a basic order, and it is impossible to rely entirely on plunder to make a living.In particular, the sophisticated armament provided by the Huainan Army has increased the cost of training elite private soldiers for the military leaders. Therefore, maintaining sufficient labor is the basis for tempering a strong army.

But now the many camps outside Suyu City are already overcrowded.A large number of soldiers gathered here, at least [-] people, such a situation is absolutely abnormal, and it is inexplicably palpitating.Especially for Chun Yu'an, who was just lucky enough to survive, there was a kind of frightened deterrence.

When Xu Ning saw the situation outside Suyu City, he was dumbfounded and even secretly regretted for a moment, feeling that it was a little rash for him to intervene hastily.However, seeing Liu Di and other Huainan soldiers who were accompanying them still had normal expressions on their faces, the mood gradually calmed down.He believed that with Huainan Duke Liang's strength, if he really wanted to intervene in Xuzhou's situation, there would definitely be other arrangements.

And he can also decide what kind of attitude he will take in the future based on the subsequent development of the situation. Although his attitude may not have any impact on others, it has a great relationship with himself, and even determines his survival.

Not long after Chun Yu'an and the others arrived, Mi Tong's subordinates greeted them and led the group into the city.Before entering the prefect's mansion, Chun Yu'an couldn't help looking at Liu Di behind him, Liu Di just smiled at him to reassure him.

In the hall of the prefect's mansion, Mi Tong sat on the table, his expression changed quite violently.After more than a day, he also knew the reason why Chun Yu'an was able to survive the disaster, and his mood was extremely complicated, with both shame and fear.Originally, he guessed that Xi Jian, the governor, had specially taken care of and protected Chun Yu'an, but he didn't expect that Huainan would make a move, which inevitably made him both surprised and suspicious.

In the few years since he surrendered to Xuzhou, it was enough for him to realize what kind of person Shen Weizhou in Huainan was. In his mind, this person was definitely more dreadful than Xi Jian. The affairs of the county will undoubtedly make the situation even more confusing.

"Shen Weizhou, you are really deceiving people..."

Mi Tong murmured angrily, no matter what, he was the prefect of Linhuai, and the Huainan army actually fought across the border without his permission. Unpredictable changes may be triggered, which cannot be taken lightly.

So after getting the news, Mi Tong couldn't sleep, thinking about how to deal with it.The first is to convene the parts as soon as possible, so that even if there is any sudden change, at least ensure that there is enough strength to respond, so as not to be caught off guard.At the same time, he sent his second son Mi Huai to Nozezhong to meet Liu Zheng, and his third son Mi Zhen to Huaiyin to inquire about Xi Jian.

When his subordinates reported that Chun Yu'an had entered the mansion, Mi Tong had already made a preliminary plan, so he left the table to welcome Chun Yu'an, Xu Ning and Liu Di into the hall.After the meeting with the two lower officials, he looked at Liu Di with a warm smile on his face and said: "The people under the rule are in constant turmoil, and dare to invade the country. I am ashamed to rely on my colleagues in Huainan to protect the place. I also ask General Liu to thank Liang Gongyi for his help. If I am calm in the future, I will come to see you and thank you."

Liu Di is just a leader in the Huainan Army, and his official position is much worse than that of Mi Tong, even Chun Yu'an, the magistrate of Zhengyin County, but he represents the Huainan Governor's Mansion, so Mi Tong dare not neglect.

After expressing his gratitude to Liu Di, Mi Tongcai looked at Xu Ning again, with suspicion in his eyes: "Why is Shikang also coming to see you?"

Xu Ning got up and bowed again: "This subordinate was going to Huainan to purchase military equipment, and was attacked on the way home, so he dared not pass by without asking, because he and Chunyu Mingfu came to pay a visit to the governor and wait for his dispatch."

Hearing this, Mi Tong's slightly frowning brows eased a little, and then he looked at Chun Yu'an again, his expression was not as warm as before, and his tone became low: "As a lower minister, you are the guardian of the government. I also shoulder the responsibility of monitoring the enemy's situation and exterminating the rebels. This time when the rebels attacked, instead of giving an early warning and informing the county government to dispatch and kill the thieves, they had to rely on the help of Huainan friendly troops to save the place. I also laughed at others because of this, a little In the future, I will ask Xi Gong for the crime of negligence!"

When Chun Yu'an heard this rebuke that turned black and white, it was conceivable that he was in a bad mood. He wanted to refute a few words, but he was worried that his temporary anger might hurt his colleagues.And even if Mi Tong's reprimand is unreasonable, at least his crime of negligence is true, so he bowed his head and said: "Since I was ordered, my subordinates have also been trembling, lest they will harm the township. This time the disaster was introduced to the county, although it is fortunate that Huainan's help But to destroy the thieves, the responsibility of negligence is always inevitable, but the county affairs are messy at the moment, so I dare not take the blame and retreat. When the county affairs are cleared up, I will leave with a letter of pleading guilty, and then I will ask the governor to pass it on to Duke Xi."

Although what he said was an apology, it also clearly pointed out that Mi Tong was only the prefect, and even if he wanted to deprive himself of his position, he had to ask the governor's office first.

Mi Tong sneered after hearing this, and said in a condensed voice: "You are quite self-aware if you have such an idea. This misfortune is frightening. Since I haven't received a warning notice, I don't know even if I ask for blame. How to file a complaint. I will send someone to escort you to Huaiyin to report the whole story to Xi Gong later on. As for the affairs of the Prime Minister, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. In order to prevent the rebels from invading again, I will send people to the county to defend first, and How to deal with it in the future, I will wait for Xi's announcement."

Speaking of this, he looked at Liu Di again, turned to smile and said: "The righteous men from Huainan came to help me a lot, and I really can't bear to work for them anymore. Please, General Liu and your family, take a rest in the county and stay here It's over, I will send someone back to the town in person, and I will thank you very much, and I hope the general will not refuse. If I am rude, I really can't bear the criticism from the audience."

Although Mi Tong was somewhat caught off guard by the intervention of the Huainan Army, he still kept his request in mind. Right now, he could no longer take Chun Yu'an's life, but he absolutely couldn't let him stay in the prime minister and send him away first. Then put all the Huainan people under house arrest, and then send troops into the county to actually occupy the lower minister first.As for what to do next, it depends on Xi Jian's attitude.

Hearing Mi Tong's arrangement, Chun Yu'an's face changed dramatically. Strictly speaking, he had nothing to do with the attack of the rebellion, but he had merit. However, he did not expect that Mi Tong's attitude was so tough, and he was still determined to expel himself.If he obeyed Li County, even if he was praised by the governor's office again, he might not be able to return to rule.Originally, he regarded being a prostitute as a hot potato, but now that he knows that Mi Tong is plotting to be a prostitute, if he is driven away, he will undoubtedly live up to Xi Gong's trust.

Xu Ning's demeanor became playful, and there is no need to comment on Mi Tong's methods, this is the instinct of the military leader to survive and stand in the world.As for Chun Yu'an's plight, he didn't care, he just turned to look at Liu Di.Both he and Chun Yu'an were Mi Tong's subordinates, and Mi Tong's actions and words were obviously well thought out. Whether he could stop him could only depend on Liu Di's attitude.

Under the expectant eyes of Chun Yu'an and Xu Ning, Liu Di stood up from the table again, and said to Mi Tong, "The last general was ordered by the governor to lead people from far away to help. Naturally, it is convenient for the master. Since there is no need to wait If you help each other, then I will thank the lord for your hospitality."

"It's all as it should be."

Hearing what Liu Di said, Mi Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile on his face.

As for Chun Yu'an and Xu Ning, they were greatly disappointed. The difference was that Chun Yu'an was not without guilt besides his disappointment. It was already a great kindness for him to save his life with the help of Huainan Army, and it would be an extravagant wish to think otherwise.But Xu Ning was somewhat suspicious besides disappointment, could it be that he guessed wrong?Was the Huainan army coming this time just to help them repel the chaos?

Without Liu Di's solidarity and help, Chun Yu'an naturally did not have the confidence and strength to fight against Mi Tong, and could only be at the mercy of him. Even if he wanted to fight, it would not make much sense, but might make Mi Tong get angry and get rid of him.

As for Xu Ning, because he couldn't see the variables he guessed, he felt dull for a while, and there was no point in staying.So he decided to enter the country with Chun Yu'an later. Although he and Chun Yu'an had no friendship, they were colleagues after all. If he accompanied him, Mi Tong would not dare to harm Chun Yu'an halfway.

It was just that when Mi Tong was still making arrangements here, a change finally happened: Li Hong, who was originally sitting in Pengcheng in the north, suddenly led his army to the north of Suyu City, and ordered the surrounding Xuzhou army generals to go to discuss the matter immediately.

　During this period of time, the attitude is really not correct, and I need to review it. . .Write seriously today and strive for more. . .
