Water Margin people

Chapter 739 Cai You
Puzhou.

"Meet the superior!"

Huang Wenbing knelt down to Cai You and said, if anyone can be more favored than Gao Qiu, then this person must be Cai You, and Cai You is also from a famous family, he is the son of Cai Jing, the head of civil servants, and his connections are far from Gao Qiu. Qiu is comparable to a rogue.

Cai You glanced at Huang Wenbing, said nothing, pulled the reins of the horse and entered the city, leaving only Huang Wenbing and other local officials kneeling on the ground to greet him.

"Get up and go to town!"

Seeing this, Su Yuanjing shook his head helplessly, and said to Huang Wenbing and the others, Cai You is so proud of being favored, his eyes are high above his head, and he even sneers at these local officials.

Although Huang Wenbing was unhappy in his heart, facing such a giant as Cai You, he could only pretend that it was nothing, got up and went into the city with a smile.

Cai You directly transferred the government office to the Chinese army camp, and asked the soldiers to drive out the original servants and family members.

When Huang Wenbing came to the mansion, he saw that the servants and maids were all driven to the street, and even his clothes, books and other items were thrown out.

Huang Wenbing can be regarded as a man of the city, and there is no trace of anger on his face. He just asked the servants to pack up his things and move them to another place.

"An important place for the Chinese army, anyone who gets close to it will die!"

Seeing Huang Wenbing approaching, the soldiers at the door drew out their weapons and yelled viciously, regardless of Huang Wenbing's official uniform.

"Excuse me, Huang Wenbing, the magistrate of Puzhou, please see Mr. Xuanfu Envoy!"

Huang Wenbing hurriedly took two steps back, and cupped his hands at the guard.

"My lord is so tired, I don't have time to see you!"

The leading guard glanced at Huang Wenbing and scolded.

"Please tell me!"

Huang Wenbing has also been in the officialdom for many years. Although most of the time is in the local area, the principles of being an official are the same, so he quickly took out a large ingot of silver and stuffed it.

"Wait here!"

When the leading guard saw the silver, he immediately hid it in his sleeve, and entered the government office without saying a word.

After a while the guards came out and took Huang Wenbing into the government office.

Looking at the government office with one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps, Huang Wenbing couldn't believe that this was the place where he lived for several months.

"Bold Huang Wenbing, you are guilty!"

When Huang Wenbing was brought into the lobby, he heard a gavel, and then Cai You scolded and questioned him.

"The next official is guilty!"

Huang Wenbing didn't know where he offended Cai You, and he didn't know what crime he committed. Now that Cai You believes that he is guilty, he is guilty, and he just pleads guilty.

"You served as an official in Jeju and Puzhou successively, and watched the rebellion of Liangshan bandits, why didn't you wipe them out early!"

Cai You looked at Huang Wenbing and asked.

"The lower official is incompetent, the lower official is convicted!"

As soon as he heard Cai You's words, Huang Wenbing knew that the man in front of him was a drunkard who didn't want to drink. Liangshanbo is not something that a prefect can solve. Cai You is just trying to show his prestige.

"General Cai, let's ask about the military situation first!"

Su Yuanjing said.

"Tell me, how is Gao Taiwei?"

Cai You said again, Gao Qiu was called by the emperor to be rescued, and he must satisfy what the emperor wanted.

"Gao Taiwei was trapped by thieves on the border of Jeju, only [-] miles away from Puzhou!"

Huang Wenbing pointed to the east and said.

"Thirty miles? Why didn't Captain Gao come back at such a short distance?"

Cai You said suspiciously, it would take half an hour to ride a horse for Thirty Li.

Hearing Cai You's words, even Su Yuanjing frowned. Gao Lian is now surrounded by enemies. The distance of thirty miles is not far, but if there are enemies, it is enough to die hundreds of times.

"Report! Five armies have already arrived outside the city!"

A soldier reported recently.

"Okay, well done! Let them into town!"

Cai You was overjoyed when he heard that, and the Jiedu envoy of Wuzhen came all at once, and he was even more confident in calming down the thieves.

Huang Wenbing secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he finally didn't have to be repeatedly questioned by Cai You, Huang Wenbing consciously retreated to a corner of the lobby and stood there.

Not long after, there was a sound of armor leaves, and five veterans in armor walked into the lobby. The leader was even more childlike, but the murderous look on his face made people dare not look directly at them.

"Wang Huan, the Jiedu envoy of Hebei Province in Henan, Zhang Kai, the Jiedu envoy of Anping, Zhongshan, Xiangyuan Town, the Jiedu envoy of Langya Pengcheng, Mei Zhan, the Jiedu envoy of Runan, Yingzhou, Wang Wende, the Jiedu envoy of Hongnong in Beijing, and Cai Xuan. caress!"

Wang Huan and the other four clasped their fists at Cai You, saying that they had received the imperial decree that Cai You, the governor of the Huaikang Army, was appointed as the envoy of the Beijing East and West Road, and was responsible for the counter-insurgency.

"How many old soldiers!"

Cai You looked at Wang Huan with displeasure on his face. Wang Huan's beard and hair were white, and he was almost seventy years old. This age was already catching up with his father Cai Jing. How could he lead troops to kill the enemy at this age?
Cai You's voice was not loud, but when the government hall was built, a special design was made to allow the officials' voices to spread throughout. Now that the hall is quiet, Cai You's words still reached everyone's ears.

Huang Wenbing quickly lowered his head when he heard this, and almost shrank into a corner. The five people who came were all Jiedu envoys who led troops to guard one side. From the second-rank military officers, none of them were his little magistrate. can offend.

"The five generals have come a long way and have worked hard, please sit down quickly!"

Su Yuanjing saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so he quickly opened his mouth to smooth things over, and secretly scolded Cai You for being stupid, that his usual coquettishness was brought to the barracks. Although the various military envoys are now under his jurisdiction, after all, they lead troops to guard one side all the year round The characters don't give any face, and they say such things when they meet.

Wang Huan glanced at Cai You, didn't say anything, and took the side seats, and the other four people also sat down one by one.

Seeing that Wang Huan and the others seemed unhappy, Cai You knew that he had made a slip of the tongue just now, but he didn't care. He was the envoy of the Beijing East and West Road, and all officials, big and small, had to obey his orders.

"Since you are all here, let's send troops to Jeju tomorrow to kill Liangshanbo."

Cai You looked at Wang Huan and the others and said.

"Cai Xuanfu, what is the enemy's strength? Where is Gao Taiwei now? Has our army's food and grass been prepared? Have the thieves been in ambush, and have there been scouts..."

Wang Huan frowned, looked at Cai You and asked.

"How can there be so much talking! Just kill a mere thief! What are you talking about!"

Cai You was furious, slapped the gavel and scolded him, except for the emperor, he dared not give face to anyone, even the emperor occasionally called him brother and brother, and he often joked with the emperor.

"Cai Xuanfu, marching like this, I cannot accept it!"

Wang Huan said, the other Jiedu envoys also had the same meaning.

"Cai Xuanfu, the Liangshan bandits are no ordinary water bandits."

Anping Jiedushi of Zhongshan opened his mouth and said, he is stationed in Hebei, and he knows best about the defeat of the Liao people in Liangshanbo. Although the army sent by the Liao Kingdom is not the most elite army, but the 3 people are not the frontier army of the Song Dynasty. It can be dealt with, at least his army is not sure to wipe out [-] Liao soldiers.

"Bold, do you want to resist the decree!"

Cai You was furious, and directly took out the imperial edict of appointment given to him by the emperor.
