Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 463 No Courage to Open the Door
"Hurry up and ask Lord Meng to come over." Zhang Yuan tried his best to control his rage and forced himself to calm down.

But this matter is really ridiculous. If Zhang Yuan doesn't find someone to talk to, he won't be able to digest this emotion.

About half an hour later, Meng Changqing arrived on horseback.

Zhang Yuan immediately went forward and handed the note in his hand to Meng Changqing, "This is an order from Liangzhou Prefecture. What do you think this is?"

Meng Changqing finished reading it quickly, but was afraid that he had misunderstood it, so he read it again two or three times, but finally gave up.

"Where are the savages who came to take things?" Meng Changqing asked.

"I used the excuse that I didn't have everything ready and asked them to wait outside the city wall."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Meng Changqing was still silent, he asked, "Do we really have to follow the prefect's order and let them enter the city gate? And let them stay?"

Meng Changqing sneered, "Can you still send a letter to Liangzhou Prefecture by carrier pigeon?"

"can!"

"Tell him that, except for the barbarians who were released on purpose, no Jiewan barbarians have ever entered Beishan City Wall alive. Ask him if he is sure he wants to open the city gate to welcome the barbarians."

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, but he still wrote it down according to Meng Changqing's instructions and handed it to his subordinates, "Send a pigeon to Liangzhou Prefecture to deliver the letter."

When writing on the paper, Zhang Yuan knew that he was bound to offend the new prefect this time, but there was no way. If something really happened when the savages entered the city, could he still expect the new prefect to bear the blame alone?

Comparing the two, he could only offend the prefect, at least it was the prefect that he and Lord Meng offended together.

The carrier pigeon landed on the attic of Liangzhou Prefecture, and the pigeon breeder took out a thin bamboo tube and handed it over.

"How dare you! You are just a lieutenant, but you don't even take this government seriously." After hearing the news, Liu Dexiang kicked away the chair and stood up. The skin on his face twitched and he wanted to kill Zhang Yuan in his heart.

The old servant picked up the note on the ground, and after reading the contents clearly in the light, he could only advise Liu Dexiang to calm down, "Master, you must not fall into his trap. If you allow him to open the door, there may be people in Beishan County who are in collusion with the barbarians. They will take this opportunity to cause chaos and put the blame on you in the end." "Do you even need to tell me that!" Liu Dexiang took a deep breath, "How dare the small Beishan County threaten this government."

"Master, this city gate obviously can't be opened." The old servant suggested, "Or, let him give the things out directly."

"It is not the turn of others to dictate what I have to do. Send someone to prepare a car, I will go now."

"Yes."

At the Beishan County Guard Camp, there was no reply for a long time. Zhang Yuan climbed up to the observation deck and looked two or three times, but he still didn't see the carrier pigeon return.

"Lord Meng, do you think the prefect has seen the note?" What Zhang Yuan actually asked was, would Liu Dexiang choose to see the note?
"Who knows?" Meng Changqing was peeling peanuts, not showing any sign of anxiety.

"Otherwise, send someone to Liangzhou Prefecture," said Zhang Yuan.

"No rush, just wait and see."

Meng Changqing had always had an attitude of exterminating all the savages. Now she just asked the people of Xue Ye tribe to wait outside the city wall. What was there to be anxious about? She had already given face to the imperial court by not letting anyone shoot arrows.

As for when Liu Dexiang was going to come, Meng Changqing didn't care. The savages would wait outside for him whenever he came.

No matter whether Liu Dexiang saw the message or not, the city gate could not be opened because the guard battalion had not received the order to open the gate.

Who made you, Liu Dexiang, not dare to say the word "open the door"?

Zhang Yuan said worriedly, "I am always worried about those savages waiting outside the wall. What if they have evil intentions..."

"Then prepare your weapons and let the brothers in the camp be alert and ready to climb the city walls at any time."
