Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 70
The Fifth Colonel of the Doulu Army wants everything to remain the same, but things often don't follow their will.

Although Doulu's army was bold, they did not dare to send troops to surround the governor's office.

After all, Jia Sishun has been in Shazhou for nearly 20 years, and he has a very high reputation in the city of Shazhou because he has paid for the common people and paid little money.

The Doulu Army only sent a few soldiers to guard the entrance and exit of the Governor's Mansion. They only restricted Jia Sishun himself from leaving the Governor's Mansion, and were not so strict with the personnel entering and exiting the Governor's Mansion.

Part of the civil affairs in Shazhou is still controlled by the governor's office.

According to the system of the Tang Dynasty, the Governor's Mansion is the last bastion in the city.

In a border area like Longyou Road, every governor's mansion was built according to the regulations of military bunkers.

In the historical timeline of the real world, Shazhou held on for 11 years under the siege of the Tubo army.

After Shazhou City was captured by Tubo, the officials in the governor's mansion were still unwilling to surrender, and they stood firm in the governor's mansion for another half a year.

After that, the Tubo army attacked the governor's mansion and massacred the officials and soldiers in the governor's mansion.

But in this "game" world, the tragedy has not yet happened.

Cui Tao, who disguised himself as a servant, soon sneaked into the governor's mansion, and met Jia Sishun, the governor of Shazhou who was over sixty years old.

Jia Sishun's reaction was beyond Cui Tao's expectation.

He sat in the study, calmly read King Jianning's handwritten letter, and then said: "King Jianning wants to seize Shazhou?"

Cui Tao said: "Your Majesty ordered King Jianning to be the general manager of the Longyou Dao, and to control the soldiers and horses of the Longyou Dao."

Jia Sishun sat on the Hu chair, leaning his back on the chair and asked, "Apart from the imperial edict, did the imperial court give King Jianning soldiers and horses?"

Cui Tao shook his head and said, "There is no soldier or horse."

Jia Sishun asked again: "Without soldiers and horses, how can there be gold, silver, money and silk?"

Cui Tao still shook his head: "No."

Jia Sishun stroked his snow-white beard and said: "Without a single soldier or horse, nor a single gold or silver, what will King Jianning use to restrain the soldiers and horses of Longyou Dao? Is it the righteousness of the court?"

Jia Sishun coughed and said, "I am willing to honor the righteousness of the court, but the Doulu Army is not willing to honor my righteousness. Can King Jianning allow the Doulu Army to honor his righteousness?"

Cui Tao didn't expect that the dignified governor of the state and the official of the second rank would speak so directly.

Jia Sishun looked at Cui Tao and said, "Are you the commander-in-chief of King Jianning's army?"

Cui Tao nodded, and Jia Sishun said: "If 20 years ago, the imperial edict came, and the governor's mansion would set up an incense table, pay a big ceremony to pay homage to receive the order, and the imperial court ordered my head, there would be no one in the governor's mansion. People who dare not obey will only take my head and kill them.”

"If ten years ago, the imperial court's decree came, I would do my best to welcome the envoy. No matter how much Shazhou complains, I will carry out the imperial court's decree."

"But now, the imperial edict has come, and the old man is tired and exhausted, and I really don't know how to obey it."

Cui Tao saw Jia Sishun's tired look, but he didn't expect that the second-rank official of Datang would put on such a posture.

Jia Sishun looked at Cui Tao and said: "I used to be ambitious and wanted to make a career here in Longyou. But after wasting 20 years, I can be regarded as diligent in government and caring for the people, but Cui Changshi, why is this sandy? The life of the state is getting worse every year?"

Jia Sishun was just asking and answering, but unexpectedly Cui Tao said: "Of course it's because the court has no way."

The court has no way?Jia Sishun opened his eyes, looked at the young Chang Shi on the opposite side of the desk, and exclaimed: "You are still young, I dare not say such things when I was young, but you talk about it, why is the court so innocent?"

"The Master said: 'If the Son of Heaven has the Way, then the Conquest of Ritual and Music in the world will come from the Son of Heaven. gone."

Hearing what Cui Tao said, Jia Sishun laughed out loud instead: "I didn't expect that there would be such a wonderful person under King Jianning's command. If the old man was young, he would definitely make you his confidant, but now that I am old, I talked freely with you back then. The old man in the state affairs is almost dead, and now the old man has no idea of ​​making new friends anymore."

Cui Tao understood that Jia Sishun, a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades, would never submit to King Jianning just because of a few words.

The difficulty of this game is really high!
Especially these well-known characters, all of them are cunning and cunning, and they are extremely "intelligent".

But let's play a game!Play is challenging!
Cui Tao has been obsessed with all kinds of difficult games since he was a child. The higher the difficulty, the more excited he is!
This Jia Sishun was not so easy to talk to, Cui Tao's answer was more cautious.

Datang Fengyun's "game" is extremely difficult, and an NPC's strategy opportunities are only a few times when they meet for the first time.

What's more, as long as some NPCs have a bad first impression, this NPC will not talk to you in the future.

For example, the important NPC Moli Military Academy Lieutenant Xue Cheng who was corrupted by the player.

Ever since Yu Chixin obtained the rhubarb crossbow from Xue Cheng, and learned the battle formation handed down from Xue's family, countless players rushed to Xue Cheng to gain "favorability".

Xue Cheng is a man of temperament, so he can chat with the players he sees right.

But when he encountered players that Xue Cheng didn't see right, he turned around and left.

For a while, there were too many players who went to gain favorability, which made Xue Cheng angry. Even a few players who could talk a few words were "blocked" by Xue Cheng.

Therefore, the "strategy" NPC must be especially cautious. Cui Tao said to Jia Sishun cautiously: "Jia Shishi, King Jianning has always had the ambition to calm the world. I hope you can help King Jianning!"

But Jia Sishun shook his head and said, "I'm old, I can't help build King Ning anymore."

After saying this, Jia Sishun said to Cui Tao: "Today's conversation, I will treat it as if it never happened. The situation in Shazhou is chaotic. I hope you can be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't say those rebellious words again."

After finishing speaking, Jia Sishun went to see off the guests.

After returning to Jucaifang, Cui Tao was dejected, and said to Cui Ruoyun, "Sister, why did this task fail?"

Cui Ruoyun said angrily: "With your negotiation skills, you can only fool a sour literati like Zhang Mian. You, a college student, can successfully negotiate with Jia Sishun, an old official in the officialdom?"

Cui Tao nodded, negotiating with an old official like Jia Sishun, the rhythm was completely controlled by his opponent.

"Old sister, this is unscientific! Shouldn't Jia Sishun take his head and bow to King Jianning?" Cui Tao asked.

"Natou, just ask for a hammer. How many people does King Jianning have under his command? Let me see, it's useless for you to do this task alone. You should find other players to form a team."

Hey, Cui Tao thought about it, and it seemed that eating alone was out of the question, so he had to listen to Cui Ruoyun's suggestion and posted a post on the game forum to recruit teammates.
