Chapter 334 Weakness
Yunxia disapproved of He Hongtong's statement, her voice raised several notes in anger, and her face flushed.

Even Xiao Yunxiao felt that He Hongtong shouldn't speak like that, it was obviously to boost other people's ambitions and destroy his own prestige.

Father's face was also worried.But he didn't comment on He Hongtong's actions, he just said to his children: "Xia'er, Xiao'er, let's listen to Dad first."

In fact, as soon as the injured resident returned to the city yesterday, he immediately reported the matter to the general guarding the city, explaining the ins and outs of the matter very clearly.The residents of the border towns have no responsibility at all, it was all caused by the Xirong people who provoked things for no reason.

The young city guard did not delay for a moment, and reported the matter to the officer in charge of the internal affairs of the border city.

So at this moment, Deputy General Huang, the Chief of Internal Affairs who knew the details, immediately stood up, explained the whole story clearly, and declared that the Xirong people were to blame for today's consequences.

After hearing this, all the soldiers felt contemptuous of the actions of the Xirong people, and suggested that they should not be allowed to make trouble, and they must realize that they were at fault first.

"Yes, people don't attack me, I won't attack people, if people attack me, I will attack people!"

Yunxia also forcefully expressed her thoughts.

"Sister, you said it very well. If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. People, what are the next two sentences? My sister said it again, I haven't remembered it yet."

Yun Xiao hurriedly tugged on her sister's sleeve and begged.

And her father showed a look of appreciation, Xia'er's sixteen-character words were so incisive, it was like a proverb.

Yunxia smiled and turned her head, and read the remaining eight characters to her younger brother again. Yunxiao repeated it, then grinned and said, "Sister, I will remember it now."

"Xia'er, Dad didn't expect that you really have a way. You summed it up very well! It seems that my Xia'er has read a lot of books seriously."

Yun Xiao, who squeezed to his father's side and sat down, immediately said to his father: "Father, my sister has read a lot of books, and Mr. Xiao praised her. Mr. Xiao also said that my sister not only absorbed the wisdom of the predecessors, but also created her own. Woolen cloth."

The father suddenly became interested. He patted his son's head and asked, "To get such a high evaluation from Mr. Xiao, it seems that your sister is truly talented. Xiao'er needs to learn more from her sister, remember?"

Yun Xiao nodded like a pounding garlic, and kept saying that he remembered it.

The father turned to Yunxia again and said, "Xia'er said that sentence just now, you created it yourself, right?"

Yunxia smiled grumpily, neither admitting nor denying it.Because this is indeed not her original creation, she is too embarrassed to be greedy for credit.

"Father, tell me what happened next." So she tactfully diverted the topic away.

Yun Xiao's attention was first attracted, and he asked about the topic just now: "Father, are you going to warn the people of Xirong?"

Father cleared his throat and continued talking with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Ordinarily, He Hongtong knew what was going on, and should have deterred the Xirong people.But he actually chose to appease the Xirong people.

He even said that after all, this incident led to the death of a Xirong man.

Doing so is obviously quite indiscriminate.

"I don't like this General He." Hearing what his father said, Yun Xiao murmured dissatisfiedly with a slumped face.

"This He Hongtong, an official who doesn't make decisions with the people, should go home. He even appeased the people of Xirong, and when they slapped him, he greeted him with a smile and said he played well, which is simply unreasonable."

Yunxia immediately supported her younger brother and expressed her dislike for He Hongtong very bluntly.

Seeing his son and daughter's angry appearance, Father Yunxia sighed, and finally made a brief comment on He Hongtong's actions: "The next unscrupulous behavior of the Xirong people is fundamentally due to his weakness, timidity and fear of causing trouble. of."

On the same day, He Hongtong ordered his men to go down and find the residents of the border towns who participated in the fight, and he gave them a scolding without any explanation, saying that they caused trouble, did not know the severity, beat them to death, and affected the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Those few people were honest people. Although they were full of grievances, they couldn't stand the strict education of the highest officer in the border town, and they were all scared out of their wits.

So when He Hongtong ordered them to apologize, they did not dare to raise any objections.

After quickly frightening his people, He Hongtong opened the city gate and asked his subordinates who could speak Xirong dialect to accompany the Xirong people softly, and promised to compensate the dead.

The leader of Xirong, the lion, opened his mouth and asked for 200 taels of gold.

The subordinates who went to negotiate said that the request was too high. Besides, you Xirong people provoked this matter first. We, General He, also sincerely apologize for the sake of the deceased.So you can't go too far.

The leader of Xirong let out a loud roar, wanting to burst into tears, and pushed the emissary over: "Go back and tell your officers, if you don't give 200 taels of gold, we Xirong people will not give up."

He didn't respect him at all, so angry that the young general turned back to the city and reported the situation to his superiors.

Deputy General Huang went out and clasped his fists and said to He Hongtong: "General He, this subordinate thinks that this Xirong man is just messing around, so we don't need to tell him any more, just drive him away."

Lieutenant General Huang's suggestion was approved by many officers and men. All of a sudden, everyone was gearing up to impress the Xirong people.

Right and wrong have their own justice, how can we allow Xirong people to play tricks?

When Yunxia and Yunxiao heard this, they were very happy. After all, most people are sensible. Now, He Hongtong has to obey the majority. He should stop being weak and become strong against the Xirong people, right?
The result was beyond the expectations of the siblings.

He Hongtong still insisted on making peace, so he called those people and sent another subordinate to take them to apologize to the Xirong people.

Then I told everyone that death is a big deal, and it is not expensive to buy a life with 200 taels of gold.For the peace of the border, it is worth it.

"But, the people of Xirong are unreasonable. If we just hold back, they may think that we are weak and can be bullied." Deputy General Huang disagreed, so he put forward his own opinion.

He Hongtong interrupted him, and scolded with a gloomy face: "Who is the chief here? You don't listen to what I say, do you? Could it be that this general can't call the shots anymore? Do you want to confront this general?"

He spoke so emphatically and aggressively that Vice-General Huang was a little terrified by his training, so he had to apologize to him and say that he had no other intentions, nor did he disrespect him, but he was just afraid that the Xirong people would make more progress in the future.

"Presumptuous, hasn't this general thought about this issue, do you want you to worry about it? Well, do as I say."

He Hongtong made a decision almost in an orderly tone, and asked those people to apologize to the Xirong people, and asked them to withdraw 200 taels of gold to the leader of the Xirong people.

The Xirong people happily took the gold and fled, even forgetting to carry the Xirong man's body away.

It was the people here who reminded them that the Xirong people had someone drag the corpse away.

Yunxia stood up angrily: "It's unreasonable. Why did He Hongtong come to such a situation with such a servile attitude? It's simply inexplicable. I'm so angry!"
