back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 849 Private Discussion
Just when everyone was feeling emotional, an official who looked like a state shepherd hurried out from inside.I saw that his official uniform was not neat, and he seemed to be dressed in a hurry.The general looked at it and frowned, and asked, "Is the person here the shepherd of Yunnei Prefecture?"

The official replied: "This is Xue Gang, how dare you ask the general?"

"I am a member of the Ministry of War, Wai Lang Zhe Kexing, who is also the general manager of Quanyun Neizhou, specially prepared for horse bandits by His Majesty. This is an imperial decree, Xuezhou Mu, do you want to take a look?" Zhe Kexing turned over and got off the horse, and took out the The imperial decree was raised with a gesture.

Xue Gang said: "How dare you doubt the general?"

That's what he said, but Xue Gang still stretched out his hand from under the thick official uniform, snatched the imperial edict tremblingly, and read it carefully.

"General, the city please!"

Xue Gang returned the imperial decree to Zhe Kexing after checking it was correct, and said courteously.

The border is different from the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, the civilian officials may be more arrogant, but at the border, if you dare to offend the military master, you will never know when you will be stabbed in the back.These military masters have dark hearts!Taking advantage of the horse bandit's attack, stabbed you, and lied that the horse bandit killed you, you will die with regret.It's better to be cautious when you're out of shape, if one day you speak up and offend someone, you'll have to worry about it all day long.Those Qiu Ba, no matter how high an official you are, there are plenty of ways to punish you, a powerless scholar.

Xue Gang invited Zhe Kexing to the State Shepherd's Mansion in the city. He said it was a mansion, but in fact it was a Qingshui yamen with bare walls, and even mice would not patronize it.

"The mansion is cold, I have neglected the general, please forgive me..."

Facing Xue Gang's smiling face, Zhe Kexing couldn't vent his anger!Even though Zhe Kexing is a military general, he is also from a family of generals and well-educated.

"Could Xue Zhoumu explain clearly the horse bandit attack nine days ago?"

This Zhe Kexing talked about work as soon as he opened his mouth, Xue Gang said he was not used to it.He has been in Yunnei Prefecture for three years. It was the time when he rectified the officialdom. After finding out that there was a problem with his style of work, he had to dissipate his family wealth in exchange for a chance to redeem his crimes.As a prisoner, he was exiled to Yunnei Prefecture, and Xue Gang also admitted it.In the first few months, even though Xue Gang had come to take up the post, he had been hiding inside the Great Wall, not daring to take a single step out of the gate.At that time, the Khitan people were more powerful than the bandits, not to mention that he was an official, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu came, he probably would have nothing to do with those bandits.

Never thought that the little emperor used his troops miraculously, but he beat up the Khitan who committed crimes in the future, signed a treaty, and opened up a debate.

Xue Gang, who had been urged too much, finally dared to leave the Great Wall tremblingly and arrived in Yunnei Prefecture.

Yunnei Prefecture is said to be a state city, but it is actually a small town.

There is a city wall, but the city gate is wide open all year round, which is tantamount to no defense at all.In the city, Han people, Khitan people, Shiwei people, Xi people, and Jurchens live in a mixed environment, and they live in peace.Everyone is poor and there is nothing to earn, even the Khitan army doesn't bother to plunder this city, it's too cheap.

It is said to be the land of Dashun, but it has actually reached the most frontier.Xue Gang, the governor of the state, has no prestige among the people.If something really happened, it would not be his turn to call the shots.

Later, private disputes gradually formed, and a large number of businessmen flocked to Yunnei Prefecture, and Xue Gang's status rose gradually, and he gradually gained some right to speak. Civil disputes were also decided by him, but he still didn't take him very seriously. Seriously.The local people are not stupid, if it is not for criminal officials, who is full and has nothing to do, and come to be an official in this place where the birds don't shit?It's spring now, and it's still freezing cold. If it's the twelfth lunar month, a runny nose can freeze your nose.If there is no fire in the house at night, it is courting death.

Fortunately, the folk customs in this place are quite simple. Although it is a place outside the culture, and the king's law can't control it, everyone is in peace.

After Naihe's reputation spread, Yunnei Prefecture was in disaster.

A group of horse bandits who didn't know when they rose up set their sights on Yunneizhou.Nine days ago, a group of horse bandits estimated to have three people descended from the sky like magic soldiers, swept away all the goods in Yunnei Prefecture, and left.There is not a single soldier in Yunnei Prefecture, how can ordinary people resist?Watching this group of horse bandits come and go like the wind, but in vain, they can only sigh inwardly at their bad luck.

In fact, the horse bandits have never stopped. The border seems to have been peaceful for a long time, but small groups of horse bandits still emerge in endlessly.

The composition of the horse bandits is also very complicated, there are all kinds of people, and it is not surprising that Han people are mixed among them.These are people who can't get along, and they have put life and death aside for some beheading business on the border.When ordinary caravans saw horse bandits, they usually handed over money in exchange for safety.These horse bandits also pay attention to territory and fattening sheep, and never want to over-exploit the caravan so that they will come again next time.

However, it is rare to be hit by a disaster like Yunnei Prefecture. All the goods were rushed to the carriages, and fifty carriages were fully loaded.The merchants who came from afar had lost all their money and almost wiped their necks on the spot.

After the reputation of Yunnei Prefecture being robbed spread, no one dared to come back to this private discussion gradually.

When the Khitan people who came from the desert heard about this, they were so angry that they scolded their mothers and had no choice but to go to Tanzhou again.

Yunnei Prefecture seemed to have returned to the past overnight, and turned into that deserted, smokeless, half-dead state city again.

Listening to Xue Gang's narration, Zhe Kexing sat silently without speaking.

"...The people of Yunnei Prefecture are looking forward to it, and finally the officers and soldiers are looking forward to it. General, are you going to keep one side safe?"

Facing Xue Gang's "longing" eyes, Zhe Kexing shook his head and said, "I'm just preparing for horse bandits. I say I'm the governor of Yunnei Prefecture, but in fact it's just a submerged fire brigade (the fire brigade at this time). Wherever there are horse bandits, go there..."

Xue Gang had read the imperial decree, and knew that Zhe Kexing was right, so he could only sit down slumped.

Zhe Kexing couldn't help but said: "In my opinion, there are ten thousand households in the city. Why don't you organize the young and strong to defend yourself?"

Xue Gang smiled wryly and said, "Everyone wants to make a living, who is willing to put in the effort? It's hard work and it's not nice..."

"Forget it, if Xuezhou Mu can raise a team of young men who farm in leisure time and carry guns in wartime, it's fine if I come to teach them. After a while, I will present to Your Majesty again, and I implore His Majesty to send thousands of soldiers and horses. Guard the city of Yunnei Prefecture." Zhe Kexing saw that Xue Gang really had difficulties, and thought for a long time before he came up with this method.

Xue Gang listened, his eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, General, the General is really a living Bodhisattva of Yunnei Prefecture!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be..." Zhe Kexing didn't like this title.The blood on his hands is more than a hundred and ten, saying that he is a living Bodhisattva, isn't this a shabby person!
Xue Gang hit the iron while it was hot and said: "It's settled like this, I will go to Zhang Luo Qingzhuang... It's just the food and silver..."

"Do you need money to save your homeland? As for food and grass, you go find those merchants and let them solve it. If they still want to have a private discussion here, how can they do it without some blood?"

Xue Gang also knew this was the reason, so he could only wrong himself to negotiate.Seeing Zhekexing like a shopkeeper throwing his hands away, Xue Gang felt sad: "Why is my life so miserable?"
