Mi Han

Chapter 354
Mi Yang looked at Fa Miao coldly, and asked Fa Miao, "Who is the army in Hanzhong?"

Mi Yang's cold question made Fa Miao keenly aware of the killing intent in Mi Yang's heart.

Fa Miao, who served as the guard of Hanzhong before and is now the Biejia of Liangzhou, of course knows who the army in Hanzhong is.

If Fa Miao remembers correctly, the officer in charge now is a school lieutenant named Deng Xian.

The post of Junzheng originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was the law enforcer in the army. He was in charge of the power to supervise and enforce the law in the army.

Since Liu Bang established the Great Han Dynasty, he has always established this position in the army in order to correct the law and discipline and deter the generals.

Although the status of the army is not high, the political tradition of the big man has always been "to suppress the heavy with the light."

Only Qianshi's military authority has two notable features.

"If there is anything to do, the Taiwei and the generals will not be in charge."

"It's not the general, the general is guilty; the law is under two thousand stones."

From these two records, it can be seen that in the early days, the army was directly ordered by Emperor Han, and even the highest military officer in the world, Taiwei, had no right to command the army.

And when the general was guilty, the army was about to report to the emperor for disposition. If an officer under two thousand shi violated the military law, the army could directly deal with it according to the military law without asking for instructions.

Of course, with the changes of the times, the power of the post of military officer has also undergone some changes.

Especially in the past few decades, the world has been in chaos and the imperial power has been weak, so Junzheng's direct superiors have become the highest officials in various places.

But the power in Jun Zheng's hands has not diminished at all.

On the contrary, with the frequent fighting, as long as the current army is backed by the support of the highest local officials, it has the right to arrest even the general of two thousand shi.

It is precisely because the army has such great power that it is difficult to hide the fact that dozens of generals and schools are connected to pay for empty pay from the army who is everywhere in the army.

It is even possible that Hanzhong Junzheng is also a direct beneficiary of this corruption case in the military.

After Fa Miao informed Mi Yang of Hanzhong Junzheng's name, he immediately reminded Mi Yang:
"Deng Xian is Wu Yi's old department."

When Fa Miao's reminder fell into Mi Yang's ears, Mi Yang couldn't help sneering.

It was Wu Yi again.

Jiubu was another synonym for tribe in the Han Dynasty.

Thinking that Deng Xianneng, who was likely to join forces with those generals and schools, was appointed as the commander of the Hanzhong Army, Wu Yi must have contributed a lot in it.

But under Fa Miao's reminder, Mi Yangming knew that Deng Xian and Wu Yi had a very close relationship, so he decisively ordered to Ding Feng behind him: "Go and arrest that Junzheng named Deng Xian to see me."

Ding Feng, who heard Mi Yang's order, immediately walked out from behind Mi Yang, bowed to Mi Yang and was about to walk outside the hall.

At this time, Fa Miao took the initiative to come out and said to Mi Yang, "I would like to go with my subordinate governor."

Seeing that Fa Miao volunteered to invite Ying, Mi Yang agreed to his request after a little thought.

After all, Deng Xian is a high-ranking official of Qianshi, and Ding Feng's status is far from Deng Xian's. Moreover, Wu Yi may come out to support Deng Xian when Deng Xian is arrested.

Therefore, if Fa Miao is the chief officer in arresting Deng Xian, some unnecessary resistance can be reduced.

After Mi Yang agreed, Fa Miao immediately led Ding Feng towards the outside of the hall.

After both Fa Miao and Ding Feng left, Mi Yang looked at Lu Yi who was still in the hall.

"Quickly send an order to summon Wang Hong from Hanxing County.

In addition, I selected a hundred members of the former Hanxing Ministry. "

Mi Yang's voice was just as ordinary as before, still without a trace of emotion.

After listening to Mi Yang's order, Lu Yi immediately bowed to Mi Yang and accepted the order.

At the same time, Lu Yi couldn't help guessing Mi Yang's intentions in his heart.

But even though he is now one of Mi Yang's confidants, he still couldn't guess the intention of Mi Yang's order for a while.

However, Lu Yi knew that there might be a big cleanup in Hanzhong next.

When Mi Yang had just led the army back to Nanzheng, although he followed Fa Miao's suggestion, he took a long vacation for his direct army.

But Mi Yang would not be so stupid as to give all the direct troops a holiday.

The way Mi Yang takes vacations is the rotation system.

As time passed, Mi Yang's army of the first round of holidays had returned to their respective posts.

And in the previous period of time, under Mi Yang's instruction, the city defense of Nanzheng City has been taken over by Mi Yang's direct army.

At present, there are more than [-] troops in Nanzheng City who are absolutely loyal to Mi Yang.

Five thousand elites may not be much in a field battle, but if they are used to completely control a city, it is more than enough.

After Fa Miao led Ding Feng out of the state pastoral mansion, he did not go to the county mansion to find Zhou Tai, the magistrate, and asked him to send county soldiers to cooperate with him in arresting Deng Xian.

He led Ding Feng straight to a military camp in the city, and by virtue of a soldier talisman given to him by Mi Yang earlier, he dispatched five hundred soldiers from this military camp.

Fa Miao knew the truth of jumping over the wall in a hurry. As an army officer, Deng Xian must have some soldiers in the city.

If Deng Xian jumped over the wall in a hurry and wanted to rely on the government soldiers to resist arrest, then relying on the combat effectiveness of the county soldiers, there might be no way to suppress him.

If you want to control Deng Xian with no risk of failure, and even Wu Yi who may come out to support Deng Xian, you can only be safe if you have hundreds of elites.

Looking at Fa Miao who calmly called out five hundred soldiers with the soldier talisman, Ding Feng really realized for the first time the status of Fa Miao in Mi Yang's heart.

After all the generals fought against each other, Fa Miao, who was not a general, was able to "privately hide" a soldier talisman, which is enough to show how close the relationship between Mi Yang and Fa Miao is.

However, this kind of envious thought did not surface in my heart for long.

Ding Feng looked at the [-] soldiers summoned by Fa Miao, and at the more than [-] Mi Yang troops led by himself, with a calm look on his face.

Six hundred battlefield elites participated in the arrest of Deng Xian, which was enough to ensure the safety of the operation.

After gathering the [-] elites, Fa Miao didn't waste any time. He and Ding Feng immediately led the [-] elites towards Deng Xian's mansion.

The action of the six hundred tigers running quickly on the street caused panic on the street.

And after a burst of panic, all kinds of fearful doubts suddenly spread on the streets where the six hundred tigers passed by.

Who can't think about it and provoke Zhou Mu?

Although Fa Miao and Ding Feng acted quickly, they did not find Deng Xian when they led the army into Deng Xian's mansion and controlled Deng Xian's family members.

Just when Fa Miao suspected that the news had leaked ahead of time, Ding Feng pried out Deng Xian's whereabouts from Deng Xian's family.

Conquer the North General's Mansion!
After learning of Deng Xian's whereabouts, Fa Miao and Ding Feng looked at each other, and they left some soldiers to guard Deng Xian's family.

Then they took the remaining [-] or so tigers and headed quickly to Zhengbei General's Mansion.

So what if Deng Xian is in the North General's Mansion?
Once Mu Bojun's order came out, no one could keep Deng Xian.

Just as Fa Miao and Ding Feng led the army quickly approaching the General Zhengbei's mansion, Deng Xianzheng was sitting in front of Wu Yi, offering boxes of jewels flatteringly.

Deng Xian had not left the mansion for a long time, he had just arrived in Wu Yi's mansion.

Because Fa Miao and others did a good job of keeping secrets, and because the time was short, Deng Xian didn't know what happened in the camp outside the city for the time being.

He didn't even know that his business partners had already been taken over by Mi Yang.

Under such circumstances, Deng Xian's mind is now full of thoughts on how to please the man in front of him.

Deng Xian is both Wu Yi's protégé and Wu Yi's former subordinate. It can be said that Wu Yi is Deng Xian's biggest and most reliable political resource.

Deng Xian is a very naughty person, he knows that he can only rely on Wu Yi's recommendation to get to where he is today.

So after he learned that Wu Yi was taken away by Mi Yang last night, he immediately came to visit Wu Yi with boxes of jewels.

When Wu Yi was frustrated, he came to offer his kindness, which could better reflect his loyalty and gain Wu Yi's more attention.

As expected by Deng Xian, looking at the boxes of jewels brought by Deng Xian, although Wu Yi didn't care much about money, he was happy with Deng Xian's loyalty.

In order to continue to occupy an important position in the political structure of the big man, in addition to the support of someone at the top, he must also have subordinates like Deng Xian who firmly support him.

Wu Yi, who was depressed all day, showed a smile in front of Deng Xian.

No one would dislike such a loyal old department, and such a loyal old department did not waste his promotion in the past.

Satisfied with Deng Xian, Wu Yi subconsciously ignored one thing:

Deng Xian is only an army official, where did he get so much money.

Perhaps Wu Yi had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't care.

Wu Yi first asked his servants to accept the gift from Deng Xian, and then he asked Deng Xian about his life during this time with a smile on his face.

Under Wu Yi's questioning, Deng Xian answered them one by one with a face of respect.

And in his answer, he praised Wu Yi and belittled Mi Yang from time to time.

"Although he is the shepherd of the state, the general is the brother of the mother of the country, what a noble status.

Today let's let him be proud for a while, but in the future who knows that he will not have the day of being a general's servant. "

When Deng Xian uttered these comforting words, Wu Yi, who was deeply moved, couldn't help laughing.

Wu Yi smiled and offered to refill the wine for Deng Xian in front of him. From Wu Yi's actions, it was enough to see how satisfied he was with Deng Xian's words.

But when Wu Yi and Deng Xian, the two masters and servants, got along very harmoniously, Wu Ban quickly rushed into the living room with a heavy face.

Wu Yi, who had just recovered from his mood, immediately felt very unlucky when he saw Wu Ban's serious expression.

In addition, Wu Ban's behavior was quite fraught, which made Wu Yi, who always valued etiquette, even more displeased.

Just when Wu Yi was about to reprimand Wu Ban, he got a piece of news from Wu Ban that was beyond his expectations.

After Wu Ban glanced at Deng Xian present, he immediately said to Wu Yi: "Fa Miao sent troops to arrest Deng Junzheng's family members!"

It was done in broad daylight when Fa Miao led his troops to arrest Deng Xian's family, which cannot be concealed.

Some officials who lived near Deng Xian and had good friends with Wu Yi immediately sent their cronies to inform Wu Yi after learning about this incident.

From the news they got, they knew that Fa Miao led the army to go to Wu Yi's mansion next.

And because the number of cronies sent by those officials was small, they arrived at Wu Yi's mansion one step ahead of Fa Miao.

After hearing the news, Wu Yi was just surprised.

But Deng Xian jumped up from the ground instantly like a wild cat whose tail was stepped on, and asked Wu Bandao with full panic and worry in his tone:

"General, what's going on!"

Obviously he was fine when he left the mansion just now.

what happened?

Wu Ban looked at the panic-stricken Deng Xian in front of him, and he couldn't get angry in his heart.

I still want to ask you!
He immediately asked Deng Xiandao: "What kind of crime did you commit? Now Fa Miao is leading the army here to arrest you."

There was strong doubt in Wu Ban's tone.

Even if he can't understand Mi Yang because of his different positions.

But he also knew that with Mi Yang's character and identity, if Deng Xian hadn't committed a serious crime, Mi Yang would never have sent Fa Miao to arrest him.

Especially now that Wu Ban knew that Fa Miao was leading an army towards his mansion, which made Wu Ban feel even more dissatisfied.

This is simply an innocent disaster for him, the Wu family.

When Deng Xian heard that Fa Miao was leading his troops to come here, he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and the fear on his face became more and more intense.

Wu Ban didn't know what he had done, so wouldn't he know it himself?
The first reaction in his heart now is that the crime he committed has been revealed.

Even after Wu Yi learned of this, a solemn look appeared on his face.

Like Wu Ban, he looked at Deng Xian suspiciously.

Seeing his two masters looking at him suspiciously, Deng Xian, who was terrified, knew that he couldn't hide his affairs.

Besides, the only one who can keep him now is the Wu brothers in front of him.

So Deng Xian fell to his knees, crying and told the Wu brothers in front of him in detail what he had done.

After Wu Yi and Wu Ban finished listening to Deng Xian's cry, Wu Yi stood up in fright.

Colluding with the generals in the army and eating empty pay, and selling the food and grass at a deficit to the aristocratic families in the city, any of these two things are crimes enough to beheaded.

No wonder Deng Xian brought so much wealth today.

Wu Yi guessed that Deng Xian was embezzling, but he didn't expect Deng Xian to be so courageous. The embezzlement was food!

Seeing Wu Yi standing up in fright, Deng Xian cried even louder. He kept kowtowing to Wu Yi, hoping that Wu Yi could save his life.

Deng Xian's mournful cries kept wafting in the hall, which annoyed Wu Ban even more, and also made Wu Yi feel very troublesome.

But he couldn't help it!

Everyone knows that Deng Xian is his old confidant, and everyone knows that Deng Xian was loyal to him in the past.

If he ignored Deng Xian's cries today, who would follow him in the future?
And if he doesn't have a group of minions to follow, even if he reaches that high position in the future, how can he sit still?
Wu Yi, who is good at weighing pros and cons, made a decision in his mind almost instantly.

Although Wu Ban is not as deep as Wu Yi, he still knows the consideration in Wu Yi's heart, so he leaned forward and said to Wu Yi:
"How about letting Deng Xian escape before Fa Miao's soldiers arrive?"

Hearing Wu Ban's suggestion, Wu Yi almost slapped him.

Wu Yi pointed to Deng Xian who was kneeling on the ground and angrily reprimanded Wu Ban: "He is now a criminal, besides, many people already know that he is in my residence.

If Fa Miao arrives and finds that Deng Xian is not in the mansion, what will Fa Miao think of us, and what will the world think of us?

Do we need our Qing name? "

Wu Yi's angry reprimand scared Wu Ban to withdraw his head quickly.

After angrily scolding Wu Ban, Wu Yi anxiously paced back and forth in the hall. After a few breaths, Wu Yi, who is good at exchanging benefits, had an idea in his mind.

Wu Yi said to Deng Xian: "I may be able to protect your life, but your family wealth and job will definitely not be guaranteed. You are willing to accept this kind of result."

Hearing that Wu Yi had a way to save his life, there was no reason for Deng Xian not to agree.

He hurriedly kowtowed in response to Wu Yi.

Seeing that Deng Xian was willing to accept his arrangement, Wu Yi immediately let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then you will obey me in everything from now on."

Deng Xian hastily agreed to Wu Yi's request.
