Chapter 196 Inside Pinglu City (Part [-])
"General stay!"

"No time! I'll go see Xue Shoucheng and Bai Qiliang again." Xiao Zhiping left without looking back.

Kou Wenqi squinted his eyes, watched Xiao Zhiping disappear from sight, couldn't help snorting coldly twice, and said to himself: "At this time, I know I'm thinking for the common people! When I heard that the high-ranking officials are rich in salary, my eyes are as wide as cows." The eyes are still big!"

Xiao Zhiping walked into a courtyard not far from the city gate with a gloomy face.

There are many soldiers standing guard outside this courtyard, and it is very close to the guards at the city gate. Many people are also arranged to guard the courtyard. Thousands of people might not be able to bear it, which is one of the reasons why he never killed Xue Shoucheng and Bai Shouliang.

Xue Shoucheng, Bai Qiliang, the commanders of Pingyangwei and Yangxiawei, were transferred to Pinglu City before Pinglu raised the anti-flag.

When these two guards entered the city, it was like two pieces of hot potatoes were suddenly placed in Xiao Zhiping's hands. He didn't know where to throw them if he wanted to!

The Southwest Province is not small, but there are not many guards, only twelve. On the one hand, there is Xichuan, and on the other hand, it is because of the mountains, but there is one thing that Lin Huai did not tell Qin Wubing, maybe he himself did not know, There are 600 people in one guard in other places, and 500 people in one guard in the twelve guards in the southwest.

This is the official figure, and only Wang Qingzhi, the Commander of the Southwest Capital, knows how many people are on empty pay.

For example, Luocheng County under the jurisdiction of Xining is the place where Gu Qinghe, the magistrate of Yongning County, once worked. Although it belongs to Xining, it is actually not close to Xining. There is a Luoxi Guard between Xining and Luocheng County. Gu Qinghe used to suppress bandits At that time, they would rather use common people than go to Luoxi Guard to transfer troops, because there were not many soldiers in the guard, and they never practiced.

The number of guards hidden in the mountains like Luoxiwei is not enough, but it is hard to say about other guards, especially in the past two years, only their commanders know how many people are there, of course, there are also guards. All commanders made Wang Qingzhi know.

For example, Pingyangwei and Yangxiawei, these two guards are Shitu Guards, which means that they are not in the city, and they occupy a piece of land by themselves, farm and practice, and are self-sufficient.

Since it is self-sufficient, no one will know that there are more than 800 [-] people, and the number of people can naturally be falsely reported, especially when holding back bad thoughts, whoever makes the sky high here is far away from the emperor, and it is impossible for the supervisor to count the number of people one by one.

Since last year, Xue Shoucheng and Bai Qiliang felt something was wrong. The 500 people were already full, but Wang Qingzhi still ordered them to recruit recruits, and Wang Qingzhi would visit them every few months. Darkly draw a big cake to greedy them.

Xue Shoucheng was the first to feel something was wrong. He was in his early thirties and was able to sit in the position of the commander of the guard. Apart from his own ability, who didn't have half a backer behind him?Xue Shoucheng sent a secret letter to the old man in Beijing, expressing his thoughts cryptically.

This old man is a civil servant, he is a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, he is the fifth grade, he is a middle-of-the-road person, he believes in not fighting, not grabbing, not talking too much, and being safe and stable is the truth, so the old man read the son-in-law's letter, but he didn't realize it for a while .

Xue Shoucheng had no choice but to send his own soldiers to go to Beijing to speak clearly with his father-in-law during the time of the New Year gift. Xue Shoucheng, do your job well and don't think about anything else!
Xue Shoucheng was educated by his father-in-law and felt that he was thinking too much, so he wanted to take one step at a time, but before taking two steps, Wang Qingzhi's transfer order arrived.

Qin Wubing thought that it was the commander of the Southwest Capital who mobilized soldiers from other guards to station in Pinglu, Fan Yang and Xihe, but because Qin Wubing didn't know where these cadres were working, he forgot a crucial question. The command of the Southwest is reversed, how can Xining be safe and sound?

If Qin Wubing could think of this point, he would then think of another question. Whether the emperor or Prince Xiang, they all know that the eight Xichuan brothers have evil intentions. Based on the principle that those who are close to ink are black, why didn't the court send a trustworthy one? General commanding the Southwest forces?
Then, Qin Wubing was able to solve his first question by himself, why was Xining safe and sound?Because Wang Qingzhi has no real power in his hands!

Prince Xiang and the emperor, the uncles and nephews, put a lot of effort into dealing with the issue of the eight Xichuan brothers, not only to force the eight brothers to stick their heads out, but also to sharpen their knives!

Especially when it comes to forcing them to stick their heads out, they can't be stuck to death, and they can't let it go too much... It's just that they didn't expect that the Eight Brothers would do something to enrage their ancestors and dare to attract foreign enemies to invade. The game of chess that was originally played well suddenly became chaotic.

Fortunately, the hole left for Xichuan was not big at the beginning, and only half of the twelve guards in the Southwest left for Wang Qingzhi to mobilize. With a normal brain structure, he can understand that this is a kind of defense by the court, and it is also a kind of distrust of the Southwest Commander.

A normal person might find a way to regain the trust of the court, but Wang Qingzhi is narrow-minded and has a temperament of vengeance. When facing this situation, he thinks more about how to make the emperor in the capital repent and push the eight brothers to win over Let's go, he mobilized six guards to be stationed in Pinglu, Fanyang, and Xicheng respectively. He was actually sitting in the commander of the Southwest Capital, drinking tea with confidence, waiting for news from various sources, imagining that he was passing by on a tall horse. Deshengmen in the capital, imagining that the emperor, who has become a prisoner, begged and looked at him...

……

Xiao Zhiping sat across from Xue Shoucheng and Bai Qiliang and didn't speak for a long time.

Bai Qiliang was different from Xue Shoucheng, he was very assertive, although he was not as alert as Xue Shoucheng, but once he made the decision, he never hesitated, so he and his subordinates all commanded Tongzhi, all commanded things, Qianhu, Hundreds of households have talked in detail, first to make sure that these few people under him have no ambiguity, and then make an agreement with a few people that once they are transferred, as long as he disappears, someone will force them to participate. I am sorry for the ancestors and future generations. The soldiers of the guards are not allowed to listen to other people's orders!If you're in a hurry, it's over!
This point, after Xue Shoucheng received Wang Qingzhi's transfer order, was similar to what his subordinates said, but he didn't have time to judge whether these people under his command would obey the order, so he felt somewhat uneasy.

After Xiao Zhiping controlled the two commanders, what he saw were two calm and indifferent faces. There was no panic or indignation. On the contrary, Xiao Zhiping couldn't do it anymore. He could feel that the two commanders were prepared. Xiao Zhiping didn't dare to act rashly when only this kind of thought was born in his heart.
