Prime Minister take care

Chapter 118 Sincere Heart
The county town of Wuning County, Jucheng.

The weather was cold, the tiles were covered with ice, and the cold air that was visible to the naked eye blew from outside the house, but it could not resist the heat in the heart of the Wuning County Sheriff.

"How's it going?"

The county captain hurried in from outside. Before he could take a few breaths, he was stopped by the county guard.

"I went to see it. The sentry was right. There were indeed 3 to [-] people coming towards us. Do we want to take care of them?"

"Care? How to care?" Wuning County Sheriff glanced at Wuning County Lieutenant angrily, "You don't know the grievances back then. These people are all Fan Qing's old troops. They follow orders but don't listen to propaganda. They are so tyrannical. The Marquis can't even control them. Although they have been sent to the valley for so many years, I know that they have been a worry for the Marquis all these years. If we want to control them, just rely on the thousand soldiers in the county? "

The Wuning County Guard choked, and the County Lieutenant made a long face and looked ugly: "Then we can't just do nothing! After the Marquis found out, we allowed two to thirty thousand people to pass through the county town like this. , Losing one’s official position is a small thing, losing one’s head is a big thing.”

"Prince, the lord's envoy has arrived from Yingdu."

There was a call outside the door, and the county guard and the county lieutenant looked at each other, thinking, did the marquis move so fast?
The two met the messenger in the side hall.When the messenger took off his black robe and revealed his true appearance, the two of them were shocked and immediately knelt down.

"Young master, why are you here?"

The person who came was Cai Tong's son Cai Yun. He quickly helped the two of them up, "You two are welcome. I came here this time to follow the order of the lord and temporarily take over the entire Jucheng."

With that said, Cai Yun took out Cai Tong's military talisman and edict and handed them over to the two men for inspection.Cai Yun didn't speak until the two of them checked that everything was correct.

"Fan Qing's old troops have let down the lord's grace and colluded with Yang Xian to rebel against Chu and surrender to Shu. The lord will personally lead [-] elite troops here. I am here to prepare food, grass and armaments."

"Yang Xian?" Wuning County Governor let out a sigh, "Is my lord about to start a war with the Shu army?"

The two people in the side hall were very disturbed.It's not that they don't know what's going on in Chu State at this moment. The Liang army in the north is aggressive. If they go to war with Shu State now, they will be hit by the first wave.

After all, there is no danger at all on the road from Chu to the west. There are [-] Yang soldiers and horses at Pingling, firmly guarding the gate of the Shu army into Chu.

In all the overt and covert competition over the years, they have never taken advantage.

Cai Yun saw the worries of the two people and said: "Fan Qing's old department is Fan Qing's old department, and Yang Xian is Yang Xian. This is the territory of our Chu country, and I don't believe that Yang Xian dares to openly embarrass our Chu country."

After hearing Cai Yun's words, the two of them felt relieved for the time being.It seems that Cai Tong has no plans to completely break up with Shu.

"Send someone to keep an eye on those people. According to my lord's calculation, the fastest way for those rebellious people who want to go to Yizhou is from Quyang to Pingling. They support the old and the young, and they will definitely not be able to move fast. Our Chu army will Intercept them at Black Tiger Mountain. Without further ado, you two will immediately prepare provisions for the lord's army."

"Yes!"

Quyang.

Tong Gu led Fan Qing's old troops, supporting the old and the young, and when they wanted to go up the mountain, they saw someone waiting on the mountain road.

"Lord!"

Yang Xian was sitting in a four-wheeled vehicle, holding a feather fan in his hand and enjoying the shade under the tree.

Tong Gu was overjoyed to see Yang Xian and went to visit him with a few of his buddies.

As he approached, Tong Gu bowed his hands and wanted to pull some of his buddies around him to salute.Unexpectedly, they looked awkward.

The oldest of these people are in their sixties or seventies, and the youngest are over 50.Seeing that Yang Xian was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, he was filled with contempt.These people are all Fan Qing's old subordinates, and they have been used to it all their lives.Except for Fan Qing, they have never served anyone.

This is also the case for the past 30 years. Cai Tong has used and discarded people like them just because they are capable and have a big temper.Want to kill!The contributions these people have made over the years are not small, and it is inevitable that they will get a reputation as a cold person.But if you keep it around and reuse it, it is really heartwarming.

In the end, Cai Tong had no choice but to find a fault and demoted them to civilian status, sent them to the valleys of Qingshui County, and gave them a generous pension every year.In this case, no one can say anything.

Tonggu tried to smooth things over, "My lord, this mountain man doesn't understand the rules. Please forgive me, lord."

"It's okay!"

Yang Xian smiled and didn't care. He waved his fan slowly and just spent time with these people.

Fan Qing's old department couldn't afford it. They were rushing every minute.Finally, Cui Laoer broke up this somewhat embarrassing scene.

"Prime Minister! We heard about you from Tong Gu. Although Old Tong praised you like a flower, we still believed in our own eyes. To be honest, if it weren't for that old guy Cai Tong being too dishonest, we wouldn't Those who are willing to leave their homeland must bear the name of betraying the Lord.”

From the bottom of their hearts, these old men of Fan Qing looked down upon Cai Tong.But Cai Tong had no choice but to get the title of Chu Hou from the court, and he was the lord of Jingzhou.They are all nominally under Cai's jurisdiction.

"You righteous men treat Xian with sincerity, and Xian will naturally treat you with sincerity."

"Not necessarily!"

At this time, someone said sourly.The few old guys in front of Yang Xian all came from strong winds and waves, and all of them are very shrewd.

Cui Laoer hesitated for a while and finally said it.

"We are making such a big move, that old guy Cai Tong will definitely chase after him if he gets the idea. We know the strength of the Jingzhou Army. Although we are fast along the way, Cai Tong's speed is not slow either. If something goes wrong, Cai Tong will Naturally, Tong will not do anything to the Prime Minister, but our end will definitely be miserable."

This group of people knew their situation at this time, but even so, they still didn't look like they were asking for help.

"I, Mr. Cui, are here to ask for the 630 people, does the Prime Minister dare to take responsibility for this?"

"Why don't you dare!"

Yang Xian waved his feather fan lightly without even a trace of hesitation.Everyone saw that not far away, Yang Xian's large banner was erected, fluttering and eye-catching.

This is the border of Chu State. Yang Xian placing his banner here means that he has openly intervened in this matter.This is tantamount to slapping Cai Tong in the face.

"Cai Tong is nothing but a withered bone in the grave! How kind and righteous was Fan Qing County Governor back then! It's a pity that he was harmed by this old thief. It hurts Xian. It's a pity that the pearls of all the righteous men have been dusted for many years. It's the law of heaven if Xianruo doesn't uphold justice for you righteous men. Where is it?"

Positive sentiment from Fan Qing’s old ministry +666
The more Yang Xian scolded Cai Tong, the happier these people felt.

"Lord, I guess the army from the Chu capital is coming soon. What should we do?"

"If we pass Heihu Mountain, there will be no danger for a hundred miles ahead. If Cai Tong pursues and kills from behind, the nearly 3 people will only die. So, it is better to refuse to defend Heihu Mountain and wait for reinforcements."

Everyone looked at it and said, "But it depends on the Prime Minister's orders."
