Northern Dynasties

Chapter 364 Black Otter Wrath

"I know my crime, I know my crime, please forgive my life, my Lord..."

Under the fence outside the corridor of the Taifu Zhitang, accompanied by the shrill screams and begging, there was a continuous sound of whipping, and every sound shocked people's hearts.All the people walking in and out of the straight hall were in a hurry, not daring to stop and listen.

The victim may not have made a big mistake, maybe it was just pure bad luck.In recent days, the mood of Daxingtai has become very bad for some reason, and the restlessness is visible to the naked eye. Usually, the waiters on the left and right occasionally make negligent mistakes, or just laugh it off, but now they have to be irritable and severely punished. People are in danger, and they are silent like cicadas.

Although the people in the mansion didn't know the specific reasons for Daxingtai's sudden change in temperament, they could guess that it was definitely not a good thing, so they prayed in their hearts that no shocking changes would happen.

The atmosphere in the mansion is also very depressed today, Daxingtai began to summon internal and external affairs personnel in the straight hall early in the morning, some were kicked out shortly after entering the hall, and some stayed in the hall all the time.As for what was being consulted and planned, all the participants were silent and refused to make any public comments.

In the straight hall, Yu Wentai waved his hand a little irritably to drive away a group of staff, and his eyes fell on the letter sent to the mansion from Longyou urgently, his eyebrows trembled uncontrollably.

Although he was sitting in the straight hall, he still wore a long scarf riding cap, not because he was weak and afraid of the cold, but because he had a sarcoma on the back of his neck for some reason after the year, and it grew bigger and bigger.

Although after several diagnoses it was confirmed that it was not a vicious carbuncle, and some fortune tellers said it was a good fortune, Yu Wentai just listened to it tentatively, but it was not beautiful after all, and he didn't want his subordinates to have reverie about his health, so he simply wore a hat to cover it up.

During this period of time, he was already a little disturbed by the neck tumor, and the latest news from Longyou and the miscalculation of Wang De and his party made him even more restless.Today, I asked about the convening of troops in various states, and it was also not very optimistic.

He still overestimated the effect of recuperating and recuperating in the past few years. In the past few years, the Grand Parade in October has almost become a custom, and the administrations of various states and counties are also based on this.Although at the beginning of the year he ordered Su Chuo to set aside a variable in the budget, but when it came time to gather troops a few months in advance, the cooperation between the states and counties was still not high enough. At the same time, there is a huge gap in the reserves in the treasury.

Although this is also related to Su Chuo's worsening illness this year and lack of people to take charge of Taiwan government affairs, it is also a fact that the growth of the national power cannot keep up with the construction and development of the army.If you don't want to fall into the predicament of militarism, you must find new ways to obtain new increments.

But the most troublesome thing for him right now is how to clean up the mess in Longyou.After all the deliberations and repeated deduction, the staff members all think that it is feasible, but why did an accident happen?Could it be that his hegemony's staff are all good-for-nothings?

The main and most direct reason is that Han Bao also reported back immediately, because the strength of Qinzhou's remaining troops far exceeded their previous estimates.

Even before they set off from Yuanzhou, they didn't get any news that Qinzhou had gathered a large number of people, but just a few days during the trip, Li Boshan, who was staying in Qinzhou, used some method to directly recruit tens of thousands of people from all over the country to station him. Zhoucheng also caused Wang De and his party to hit the iron plate directly.

In other words, Li Boshan directly shattered the conspiracy planned by the people including Yu Wentai in the Overlord Mansion with his own strength.

For Yu Wentai, such a result is no longer a question of whether he can accept it, and he is even ashamed to face it.Only by dividing the embarrassment in my heart into small parts and venting on these subordinates in the mansion, can I avoid gnashing my teeth with anger every time I think about it, and can't control myself.

Now that Longyou has entered the government, Duguxin also used this to express his attitude, and he did not criticize the Taiwan government because of this, and still hoped that this time the dispute could be resolved peacefully.

No matter what mood Yu Wentai is in, he has to face this matter and actively seek a solution.

"My lord, General Yu has entered the mansion and is waiting outside the hall to be summoned."

A waiter hurriedly walked into the hall and kowtowed and said.

After hearing this, Yu Wentai cheered up quickly, sat up straight in the seat, and said: "Please hurry up!"

Without hesitation, Yu Jin strode up to the hall, and before he had time to attend the ceremony, Yu Wentai had already stepped down to welcome him, and personally held onto Yu Jin's wrist to lead him into the banquet, and only after he returned to the table and sat down did he look at him with an apologetic face. Yu Jin said: "The general has been troubled, and now there is another matter that the general must take care of. The general must know about Wang Tianen leading his troops westward?"

Yu Jin nodded after hearing the words. He is a high-ranking man, and he spends more time guarding Chang'an instead of staying in the Huazhou General Staff Mansion.

But even if he didn't participate in this matter, even if Wang De and his party set off for Yuanzhou immediately after Yifeng, he could more or less guess Daxingtai's intentions. quite agree.

But seeing Yu Wentai's shy and embarrassed face, Yu Jin quickly asked again: "Could it be that something unexpected happened? The Lord has an order, so how dare I resign!"

Wang De's purpose of this trip was to steal a house, and if he tried to steal a house, the situation would be much more dangerous.Yu Jin was not involved in the matter, and subconsciously thought that there might be problems and he might have to fight, so he expressed his position again.

When Yu Wentai heard this, he couldn't help feeling mixed emotions.After weighing it over and over again, he decided to let Yu Jin help solve this mess.Yu Jincai has sufficient strength and status, and he is not from Wuchuan. When facing Dugu Xin, he will not be affected by the old friendship of his nostalgia. It is undoubtedly the most suitable choice to fully consider the demands and interests of the Bafu.

So he forwarded the memorial sent by Dugu Xin to Yu Jin. After browsing the memorial, Yu Jin couldn't help but look a little weird for a while, and the corners of his mouth trembled subconsciously. After all, he still cared about Yuwen. For Tai's face, he coughed twice dryly while raising his hand and twisting his beard, to cover up the unnaturalness in his expression.

"Looking at this memorial, the Duke of Hanoi still does not lose the words of the country. However, the envoys are eager to do things and go ahead without waiting for the edict, so that there is a difference in understanding between China and foreign countries. After the ministers go to Long, they must declare the intention of the Lord. Righteousness, you must also be able to understand what you have not seen before!"

After pondering for a while, Yu Jin spoke again, seeing that the situation was not as bad as he had guessed, he quickly adjusted his thinking.

Yu Wentai nodded after hearing the words, and said a few words that were neither salty nor bland, saying that Dugu Xin really misunderstood his meaning, and then explained the intention that the Bafu needs to achieve on this matter: "The thief minister Zhonghe lived in the city for a long time, and his party members have long practiced adultery orders without knowing the king's law. Although the evil in the city has been eradicated, the evil in the heart has not disappeared. Therefore, all the people who follow the chaos in Liangzhou must move to Neizhou for strict education. !"

Yu Jin nodded after hearing the words. Migrating the people from all sides to enrich the capital is also the proper meaning after the chaos is established. The key is the quantity.Naturally, the central government needs as many people as possible, but local governments still need population to maintain basic state order.

"Since the great unification, there have been frequent disturbances in the west of Qinlong River. Could it be that there are only strong bandits and bandits in that town with no morals? My soldiers are frequently troubled there. Is it because of the unruly wind in the village or the shepherd's disorder? If there is no supervision , I am afraid that the root of the disaster has not been eliminated, so we must send patrols to interview the nostalgia and observe the customs!"

Yuwentai went on to say that his control over Longyou Hexi has always been relatively weak, and of course he wants to strengthen it as much as possible once he seizes the opportunity.

After hearing this, Yu Jin didn't say anything, because it was obviously impossible.If you can really steal someone from your home, of course you can do whatever you want, but now Wang De and the others are still locked in their lair, and you still want to send people to dig the walls with mice, which is really beautiful!
Yu Wentai also felt that this request seemed a little too much, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yang Kuan is an old traitor from a famous family, he is good at seeking his life, but he is stingy at serving the country. Hezhou is governed by the enemy, and it is appropriate to have senior generals to guard the borders to frighten the enemy, call them back to the country, and give them a clear and distinguished name, which will not belittle the family and will not hinder the national economy."

Yang Kuan, the governor of Hezhou, was also not appointed by the overlord. Before the situation in Longyou and Hexi was complicated, Yu Wentai tolerated this old fritter, but now that the order is clearer, he needs more direct control, so he plans to recall Yang Kuan .

The current situation is not as expected, so Yu Wentai temporarily formulated these conditions, just to break the situation that Dugu Xin's family is superior to Longyou, and did not make any further requirements.

Of course, the specific result to be achieved still depends on Yu Jin's efforts, and Yu Wentai just drew a bottom line for him that must be achieved. The actual situation is of course that the more he strives for, the better.

After accepting this face-to-face opportunity, Yu Jin planned to get up and leave to pack her luggage, but was stopped by Yu Wentai raising her hand again.

"Wait a minute, general, there is one more thing."

When Yu Wentai spoke up to this point, his face became slightly distorted, and the masseter muscles on his cheeks swelled a few times, before he spoke again: "Li Boshan, and Li Boshan! No matter what, we must bring this son back! After some cultivation in the mansion, everything Waiting to be used, how can he let his clumsy strength go outside!"
