Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 129
Before Bai Tu could wait outside the village for too long, Zhou Tai flew back with Pan Zhang in his arms.

Pan Zhang's strength was no less than that of Jiang Qin. Although he was inferior to Zhou Tai, he was still a gold-plated military talisman.

However, the garrison in Yangxian is the bandit suppression army that originally stayed in Wu County. This bandit suppression army was left behind by Zhou Tai when he was in Wu County. Many of its grassroots backbone are Zhou Tai's old subordinates when he was a water thief. .

Even Pan Zhang himself regarded Zhou Tai as his "supporter", so after Zhou Tai came to the military camp, there was no obstacle. He went all the way to Pan Zhang's military tent, and before he felt bad, he placed his military talisman and took it directly. .

"Pan Zhang, the guilty general, pays homage to the lord!" After being thrown down by Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang quickly bowed to the ground.

Although Zhou Tai didn't speak to him all the way, Pan Zhang could tell what was going on from the direction he was taken from, and being able to make Zhou Tai look dark and silent... he could also guess, Who broke his story.

"Lord, the other three uncles and five senior officials who came with us are also being escorted," Zhou Tai reported.

Naturally, we couldn't bring the whole army together for this kind of thing, and it wasn't enough. Only Pan Zhang's closest confidant, Uncle Dub, followed, and only six of the subordinates were involved.

"The 2000 people currently stationed in Yangxian are Tang Song, a Yajiang who was born in Yangxian, and the county magistrate of Yangxian is in charge. The Yangxian magistrate has notified Chen Division and Zhang Prefect through Cheng Ji." Zhou Tai Continue reporting.

But Bai Tu didn't say a word and let Pan Zhang fall to the ground...

At this time, the old man in the village saw Pan Sanchi acting like this in front of the young man in front of him, and he became even more convinced of the identity of the person in front of him!

"Zijing, please stay and arrange for pensions, not just for this village. Ask Yangxian Ling to cooperate and count all the victims. The pensions must be in place and the households who use the pensions will be temporarily compensated." Bai Tu instructed.

"Don't worry, my lord, but... you must be cautious in this matter." Lu Su had already sensed Bai Tu's determination, so he just reminded him.

After looking at each other for three seconds with the determined Lu Su, Bai Tu nodded, and then ordered: "Go back to Jinling!"

Before it got dark, Bai Tu had already returned to the outside of Jinling City. Chen Gong, who had already received the news, greeted him outside the city.

"The palace has been entrusted by Duke Bai. I hope that Duke Bai will hand over the matter to the palace and I will atone for my sins..." Chen Gong came forward with a serious expression.

Asking for forgiveness is only one aspect, but in fact Zhou Tai and Chen Gong are not that big of a mistake. After all, the promotion of Pan Zhang was a reward for actual merit. When Pan Zhang went to disturb the people, he did not bribe them. All he can say is It's an "oversight".

As for Zhang Liao, the current governor of Wu County, it has nothing to do with it - Zhang Liao has only been in office for a few days, so it is understandable that he does not know Yangxian's situation.

What Chen Gong is more anxious about is that he is worried that Bai Tu's overreaction will alienate the military officers and soldiers, especially Jiangdong and some wealthy people who can't stand Bai Tu. They will never give up this move to shake or even alienate the military. Opportunity!

It is said that the 400 years of Han Dynasty's relatively stable unification of the country has improved the status of the wild people outside the city a lot, and they will not be regarded as inferior to the scholar-bureaucrats and even the "Chinese people" in the city like they were during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The people in the field are regarded as the same kind.

However, it is difficult for any prince to give the correct answer to this multiple-choice question in order to punish the brave generals under his command for the sake of the common people.

Just like in the books of the Later Han Dynasty and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, although Pan Zhang's lawlessness and lack of cultivation were recorded, he still praised Sun Quan for remembering his merits and forgetting his mistakes.

"Gongtai, transfer Dantu's army back to Jinling, leave only some necessary defenses, and let Wenyuan stay behind. Other garrisons in various places have also sent back one-fifth of their grassroots officers, including Chai Sang's new army." Bai Tu did not continue, but gave the order directly.

Bai Tu understood what Chen Gong was worried about, but still chose another answer.

The three largest garrison locations in Jiangdong are the garrison guarding Jinling, the garrison, the Dantu garrison across the river from Guazhou, and the Chaisang navy that is about to go out under the command of Sun Ce.

In other counties and counties, there are only at most three thousand, and at least several hundred garrison troops.

Bai Tu mobilized a large number of troops, as well as representatives of the garrison from various places back to Jinling, precisely to try Pan Zhang in full view!

This is what Chen Gong least wants to see...

"Maybe it can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment... If the Ministry of Justice is unwilling to try it, you can do it!" Chen Gong still persuaded.

The most common way to deal with this kind of thing is to secretly warn, followed by secret punishment, but now that Bai Tu has arrested people in a high-profile manner, it is obviously not applicable. Once again, it is handled by the Ministry of Punishment - it is better for Wang Lang to be a villain than Bai Tu himself. The outcome would be better, even if Chen Gong did it himself.

The worst thing is that Bai Tu personally punished Pan Zhang. As an officer, he even had merits before, but now just for disturbing the people... Well, the biggest crime that was proven was just a woman. If he was really punished severely, There are definitely not a few people who are dissatisfied.

Bai Tu understood that Chen Gong was doing it for himself, but he still shook his head.

"Lord! Sin will be obsessed with it for a moment... No! It will be difficult to control himself for a moment. Sin will be willing to accept... and marry her!" Pan Zhang screamed at this time.

He had never been so afraid before, even if he was directly captured by Zhou Tai, until he heard Bai Tu say that he wanted to mobilize the army back to Jinling - this was a far greater exaggeration than what he had imagined!
When Chen Gong heard this, he looked at Bai Tu expectantly... This seemed to be a solution, and it was better than laboring over a large number of people.

"Marry? Why?" Bai Tu was indifferent.jpg. After saying this, he went straight into the city without giving them a chance to speak again.

Chen Gong was also doused with cold water. He immediately remembered Bai Tu's attitude towards his engagement to Lu Lingqi, and understood that this trick would not work here - why?Others might know why, but here at Bai Tu it's a different theory.

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Gong immediately found Lu Lingqi in the guard, and wanted the eldest lady to help persuade him. He even secretly complained in his heart that it was fine if the others could not persuade him, so why did Lu Lingqi not have any effect?
Unexpectedly, when he saw Lu Lingqi, he found that she was looking at Bai Tu's back with admiration...even admiration.

"Miss, why don't you advise Mr. Bai? Mr. Bai... is cutting off his own arm!" Chen Gong complained to Lu Lingqi in a low voice.

"So?" Lu Lingqi glanced at Chen Gong.

Ever since the marriage was announced, Lu Lingqi's respect for "Uncle Gongtai" has plummeted.

"Now Cao A has secretly seized the power, Yuan Shu has openly stood up for the Han, Yuan Shao is about to dominate the north, Liu's state pastors are all in their own way, and their thoughts are unclear. There are still Dong thieves in Guanzhong, and Liangzhou princes are vying for supremacy... It is the world. In times of chaos, Duke Bai would cut off his arm for the sake of morality, but they would not!" Chen Gong emphasized.

"If the hard drive is the same as theirs, then who loses and who wins, what's the difference?" Lu Lingqi asked.

Chen Gong was choked up when he heard this. He seemed to have never expected that Lu Lingqi would answer so profoundly.

This is what Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi said before...

the difference?Of course there are still some!
Is the difference between becoming a king and defeating a bandit big enough?
However, what Bai Tu wants to fight for is not just Wang Tu's dominance. Even before today, Bai Tu didn't have any clear goals. As a time traveler, and a "stubborn" time traveler, Bai Tu has no intention of changing. Being an emperor is not something that local people are keen on.

Of course, I am even less enthusiastic about supporting the Han Dynasty...

It's just that under the promotion and traction of various external forces, Baitu became the master of Jiangdong in a daze. As for him himself, he just hopes that "here" will be better, although this world is not the world before he crossed over no matter how you look at it!
However, after Pan Zhang's incident, while Bai Tu was disappointed and resentful towards himself, he also understood what he wanted.

In the carriage before, Lu Lingqi saw Bai Tu being entangled like never before, and was speechless for a long time. Only after a long time did Bai Tu speak firmly.

"Lingqi, I'm going to kill Pan Zhang."

"kindness."

"It might be very troublesome later! Even our father couldn't defeat Cao Cao. I will have to fight him in shackles in the future."

"kindness."

"Not only Cao Cao, many things are more troublesome..."

"Yeah, but you still have to do it, right?"

"He who knows current affairs is a hero..."

"So you want to say that you are not a hero? I already knew this."

"I'm not a handsome man, and I still want 'Shi Wu' to recognize me!"

This was the conversation that Bai Tu suddenly and inexplicably initiated with Lu Lingqi on the way back, after being upset.

It was also at this moment that Lu Lingqi seemed to have something extra in her eyes when she looked at Bai Tu.

Lu Lingqi usually gets close to Bai Tu just because Bai Tu makes her feel easy to get close to her. Bai Tu tolerates many behaviors that others cannot understand or accept... and even regards them as natural.

However, as Lu Bu's daughter, she grew up in the Bingzhou army. Lu Lingqi's biggest admiration since she was a child was those warriors who could kill enemies in front of a hundred enemies. As a girl, when she occasionally fantasized about her husband from outside, she even fantasized about it more than once. Even her father was defeated by her husband, and then...she could beat her husband even more, that would be great.

In contrast, Bai Tu's character only made her very comfortable, and could not enter the dimension of "admiration".

However, at this moment, although Bai Tu was still wearing the rabbit-eared armor, Lu Lingqi felt true "bravery" in him!
Bai Tu is also fully prepared. Perhaps in this world, to be moral is to put shackles on oneself, and to have the bottom line is to cut off one's own arm... But why not?

As long as Bai Tu still presses the other princes to the ground and rubs them while letting others hold one arm and still wearing the shackles, isn't it okay?

Moreover, the Han Dynasty and the princes should all stand aside...

Bai Tu has realized that no one else... will satisfy him!

Of course, Bai Tu didn’t rely solely on his passion. He would never give up until he fell apart, let alone launch a major purge. It had only been less than a year since Jiang Dong’s establishment was established, and he still had time to clear up his roots... preparations that needed to be made. , still needs to be done.

Back at the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion, Bai Tu hesitated for a long time in front of the desk, scribbling and correcting what he wrote.

At this time, although Bai Tu's handwriting is still not excellent, it still has some charm - Bai Tu also practices calligraphy on a regular basis, and there are many brushwork techniques that can be copied. After all, sooner or later, there will be occasions when he needs to write by his own hand. By then, the writing of a great sage will be like It doesn’t look good when a dog crawls.

Seeing the two lines of words written by Bai Tu on the silk cloth in front of the desk, Lu Lingqi showed a strange expression. She seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, and finally said: "If you can still avoid being beaten to death by my father this time, , then you must be his biological child!"

　Dongdong: It looks like two chapters, but it’s actually three chapters—all 3000-word chapters. It feels like the atmosphere is more coherent this way.

　　Ps: Thank you to the leader of "Cool Watermelon" for the reward~
