Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 202
The time for one stick of incense is 15 minutes. Zhou Huan ignored the noise of the soldiers and began to ask Tang Yueliang, Wuhua and others about everything about Yumen Pass, as well as various intelligence.

During the past three days of healing, Zhou Huan had already inquired a lot, and with the questions he asked now, he had a clear understanding of the latest situation.

Yumenguan was the largest city of the imperial court in the Western Regions. A hundred thousand troops were stationed here. The highest political commander was the city guard Sun Haiyun, and Pingxi General Zhuo Pingfeng held great power.

Although Sun Haiyun and Zhuo Pingfeng are both shrewd and capable people, the border has been peaceful for 50 years and has accumulated too many disadvantages. Such disadvantages may not seem to matter on weekdays, but in wartime, extremely nonsense will occur.

It's like the city guards came and slapped Tang Yueliang in the face. Don't they know how powerful and powerful Tang Yueliang is?But not only did they come, they also brought a large number of people with them. They even ignored the many people around and continued to argue with Tang Yueliang and the others here.

Don't they know the consequences of doing so?Don't they know that the people in the rivers and lakes who come to help will be disheartened?

No, they all know it, but it doesn't matter to them. They are in Yumen Pass, thousands of miles away from Gaochang. Their income comes from their superiors. Even if they burn down a house just to cook an egg, it is not theirs. The house.

They are officials, and the people in the world are the people. This is what they rely on. Anyway, everything is done according to the formal procedures. People in the world also have to be reasonable, right?
Not to mention Tang Yueliang, who has excellent character and reputation. Such people pay more attention to face.As for Zhou Huan, these people didn't pay attention at all. Starting from Chen Yunying, the imperial court specialized in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction in the Jianghu. There were many who dared to attack the imperial army in public, but they all suffered extremely brutal revenge.

Even the people who were watching around him didn't take Zhou Huan's words seriously. At most, they would wait for Tang Yue Yue to slap a few people in the face, etc. That would be great.

Sun Haiyun's attendants had already arrived at the scene with their high strength, flying over walls and taking shortcuts. They loudly reprimanded the city guards and asked them to apologize and leave immediately. The sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance, and Sun Haiyun was about to arrive.

Everything is about to be solved perfectly - for those city guards, they come to find something, and then have someone tell their superiors, and let the superiors who take the overall situation into consideration and understand the righteousness to solve the matter, isn't it perfect? ?

Not only did they slap Tang Yue Yue in the face, but then they were dejected under the angry rebuke from their superiors. In fact, they left safely, and at the same time, there were no further troubles. Even if their superiors were angry about what they did, they still had to defend them.

"Mr. Wang, since there is an order from the summit, we can only retreat. Please don't blame us, Mr. Wang. We all act in accordance with the court's orders."

The leading officer still behaved like a calm old man. No one would care if he gave in verbally. People outside saw the results. It was a fact that Tang Yueliang could not protect his own people, so he was found and punished.

Finally, he was worthy of the 500 taels of silver given by Lao Li and the hint from his superiors.

"I won't blame you, and you don't have to leave."

Zhou Huan looked at the sky and the gangsters watching around him.

"It's time for a stick of incense."

After saying this, Zhou Huan flicked his fingers three times, and a small hole suddenly appeared on the foreheads of the three leading officers. Red blood and white brains flowed out, including the one who had just spoken to Zhou Huan.

The surrounding heroes were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly let out a very high cheer!
In these days, thousands of Jianghu heroes poured into Yumen Pass, waiting for Li Tanhua and others to lead the team to the Gaochang front line.As for why these martial arts masters don't go to the front line alone but form a group?
This is normal. If a person brings his own dry food and goes to the front line where the fighting is fierce, no one will guarantee or believe it. Let alone whether he will be regarded as a spy. Even if he enters the military camp, the best outcome will be to become cannon fodder and fight in the final battle. Dangerous front lines.

In this era, there are no electronic cards or ID cards. Who can know who is who?It is very easy to pretend to be someone else's identity. There have been many spies in history who have sneaked into the organization and caused great losses.

It is almost impossible to be immediately reused as soon as your name is announced. Unless you are like Tang Yueliang, Murong Qiudi, or Li Tanhua, you can only rely on the organization and higher-status Jianghu people.But with someone taking the lead, especially people like Li Tanhua and Tang Yueliang, it is completely different. Everyone forms an organization and guarantees each other. It is safer to act, and there is no fear of being swallowed up. The Gaochang front line has opened With huge bonuses, heroes from all over the world are recruited to kill the enemy.Even if you have a grievance or are being tricked, you can go to Li Tanhua, Tang Yueliang and others to solve the problem, and they will be loyal in return.

This is the role of the leader of the Jianghu, and this is why Du Ziteng wanted to kill Li Tanhua and the others. When they hosted a banquet for Li Tanhua and the others that day, Li Tanhua and the others also wanted to solve the various conflicts between the City Guards, the Shenwei Army and these heroes of the Jianghu. kind of dispute.

These days, the City Guards and the Shenwei Army often arrest those gangsters and put them in jail, and beating them up in the street is commonplace - of course, in their words, it is to maintain the order of the city, because those gangsters are too lawless.

From a normal perspective, judging from the situation in peacetime, the City Guards and the Shenwei Army did nothing wrong. They were really correct. They suppressed the arrogance of the heroes of the world - or rather, these mercenaries, and allowed Yumen Pass to move from top to bottom. Everyone praised him.

But is it really good to do so?

Zhou Huan just saw anger, depression, helplessness and discouragement in the eyes of these heroes.

In other words, Zhou Huan saw an invisible hand that was subtly stirring things up in the worst direction.

There is a very talented and capable young man in the work unit. How can we force him to leave?It's very simple, follow the rules, if you come to work late, you will be criticized, if you have something at home and want to ask for leave, you can just press the card, attach the name of the big leader to the work you have done hard, and say that you are strictly required for your own good.

What do you do if you want to destroy something?A few chilling words and a few inconspicuous things can make the leader furious, and then the person who instigated the trouble will only say in front of the leader that I am doing it for the sake of the organization, and that I not only have strict requirements for him, but also Everyone, you see, he is very good, but this won’t work...

The martial arts world in the Central Plains is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Its heritage is far beyond what the Holy Alliance can match. Just like if something happened to the Eastern Alliance thousands of miles away, they could pull up a team of thousands of people to cheer wherever they go.

Although a large part of it is for money and fame, so what?How many people like this come, how much does the Eastern Alliance need!
Anyone who can travel to a strange area thousands of miles away at this time is a hero!

Don't say that they can't survive in the world, don't say that they are trying to make money, don't say that they want to become famous, etc. Who dares to say such things in front of Zhou Huan? Zhou Huan slaps him in the face. .

You can do it!

These people who dare to travel thousands of miles away are all highly skilled in martial arts, but they are also a group of very sensitive people.

People are cheap when they leave their hometown, not to mention the older they get in the world, the less courageous they become. The place they are going to now is unfamiliar with the people and the place, and they are fighting to the death. In this case, most of them have hesitation in their hearts.

Will he be tricked?Will he be dragged to the front line as soon as he leaves? Will he be beheaded without being able to even touch the door to serve the country?
They are all raised by their parents, and they all have wives and children. Even if they are single, they still have to consider whether their death is worth it!

At this time, whether the leader's martial arts is strong or not is actually not the most important thing. Everyone not only depends on his reputation in the world, but also on his current performance.

The performance of Tang Yueliang and others could only be regarded as very barely qualified, before they were slapped in the face.

And after being slapped in the face, haha... Even Tang Yueliang did not confront the provocation of the city guards, so who can expect her to be on the front line thousands of miles away, for everyone's lives, and strangers with no bottom line? Where are the officials negotiating?

Sometimes, a person's life or death depends on whether his superiors can compete with others!
Sometimes, subordinates give up not because their superiors are bad, but because their superiors are not tough enough!
