Thief Emperor

Chapter 267 Envoy Zhuo!
There is no problem in Li Yun handling government affairs.

At least for now, the affairs of a state are not a difficult task for him, and he can even handle it with ease.

After all, he was also in this line of work in his previous life. In this life, he was just infected by a village chief and became a little violent.

Pick up your original skills and familiarize yourself with the government affairs of this era. Although it is not easy to handle, you can be fully competent.

If Li Yun only served as the governor of a certain state, he could do a very good job.

But unfortunately, although he is now the governor of Wuzhou on paper, he is actually in charge of two states and about 3,000 troops under his command. Now he is directly responsible for the "overall situation" of the entire Jiangdong.

If something happened to Wu Yuanyou, he had to go and take care of it, or at least go and take a look, otherwise all the preparations he had made before would be in vain.

However, Mr. Li does not know how to clone himself. Although he can leave Wuzhou with his troops, he will not be able to handle various issues in Wuzhou where order has just been restored.

Under this situation, most of Li Yun's energy must be focused on military affairs, but as far as the future is concerned, Wuzhou is also a very important place. After managing Wuzhou well, Li Yun will be equivalent to having direct territories of two states, which will be of great benefit to future development.

Originally, in Li Yun's estimation, even if something happened to Wu Yuanyou, there should be a month's break. One month is enough for him to get Wuzhou back on track.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after he arrived in Wuzhou, there was already turmoil in Wu County. Although it had not yet developed into a large-scale rebellion, it was obvious that it was a warning from the local forces in Wu County to His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

At this time, Li Yun could no longer continue to serve as his father's official in Wuzhou.

Unfortunately, he didn't have another Du Qian under his command, and no one could replace him and take on the job of governor of Wuzhou.

Xue Yun'er has received some education, but she has not had any experience, so she probably can't do this job for the time being.

In the study, Li Yun looked at these urgent reports, and suddenly an idea came to him, so he picked up his pen and started writing a letter.

One letter was written to Du Qian, and the other was written to Zhuo Guangrui, the magistrate of Shan County, Yuezhou.

Because he had an idea, he finished writing the two letters quickly. He called the Meng brothers and gave each of them a letter. Then he said to Meng Hai, "Take this letter and send it to Yuezhou immediately and give it to Envoy Du."

At this point, he paused and continued, "Send this letter to Shan County, and..."

He patted Meng Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Bring this County Magistrate Zhuo back to Wuzhou for me."

Meng Qing was about to deliver the letter. Hearing this, he exclaimed, "Ah!" and looked up at Li Yun: "General, this..."

"Go if I tell you to."

Li Yun smiled and said, "He will come with you after reading the letter."

At this point, Mr. Li thought for a moment and continued, "Remember to ask him if he can ride a horse. If he can't, let him come in a carriage, don't break it."

The two brothers then nodded their heads and agreed, and left with Li Yun's letter.

After the two brothers left, it was already dark. Li Yun stood up, stretched, and relaxed his muscles from sitting for a long time. Then he put down his brush, washed his face, and returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Xue Yun'er was whispering to Dong'er. When she saw Li Yun coming in, she stood up to greet him and said with a smile, "My husband has finished his work so early today."

Li Yun touched her head and said with a smile: "I have to go out of town to work tomorrow, so I came back early today to accompany my wife."

At this point, he paused and said, "In two days, I may have to leave Wuzhou and go on a long journey."

Xue Yun'er helped him take off his coat, and then directed Dong'er to get some hot water. Then she looked up at Li Yun and said softly, "Didn't you just come to Wuzhou? You finally settled down here, why are you leaving now?"

"On a business trip."

Li Yun took off his clothes, entered the tub filled with hot water, and said with a smile, "I'll be back when I'm done. This is very important."

"If I can do this well, I may not have to do everything myself in the future."

At this point, he looked at Xue Yun'er and invited her, "Madam, would you like to take a bath together?"

Xue Yun'er blushed and shook her head: "No."

Dong'er, who was adding hot water to a bucket, poured a ladle of hot water on Li Yun's shoulder, then reached out and touched it, smiling and said, "Miss, you come and touch it too, the son-in-law likes to touch it very much."

Xue Yun'er looked at Dong'er with a reproachful look and was about to speak when Li Yun gently pulled her into the bathtub involuntarily.

So, the room is full of life and fragrance, and spring is everywhere.

…………

The next day, Li Yun left Wuzhou City and came to the Wuzhou Camp outside the city, which had already begun to take shape. After finding Li Zheng and Zhao Cheng, he did not waste any time and said directly: "In a few days, I need to take a thousand people with me from Wuzhou to Wujun to quell the unrest in Wujun. Who of you will go with me?"

Zhao Ben originally wanted to speak directly, but after looking at Li Zheng, he did not say it.

Although he was not particularly good at dealing with people, he knew that Li Zheng and Li Yun had a very close relationship, and that Li Zheng had more experience under Li Yun than he did. At this time, it was not a good idea for him to step out. Li Zheng had already seen through Zhao Cheng's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "Let Lieutenant Li go with my second brother. I still have to work on the Wuzhou Camp. When my second brother comes back, the Wuzhou Camp will be almost ready."

Li Yun looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay, then Captain Li will go with me. However, Captain Li only has 500 men under his command, and we need four more brigades. You, Li Zheng, will choose the four brigades and go with me when the time comes."

Zhao Cheng and Li Zheng bowed their heads deeply: "As you command!"

After the two of them accepted the order, Li Zheng looked at Li Yun and said with a smile: "Second brother, you came at the right time today. Guo Zhen and the others will be in Wuzhou tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Then, second brother will give them a good lesson."

"Also, all the brigades will be here tomorrow. I'm going to have someone buy some meat for the brothers to enjoy."

Li Yun nodded and said with a smile, "Do as you wish."

Zhao Cheng looked at Li Yun and asked, "When are you going to leave, General?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on when the person I invited will arrive. Once he arrives, we can leave immediately."

"It can be as long as five days, or as short as three days."

"it is good."

Zhao Cheng bowed his head and clasped his fists, saying, "I will prepare it right away."

He turned and left.

Li Zheng looked at Zhao Cheng who was leaving and said with emotion: "General Zhao is much more serious about his work than I am."

Li Yun looked at Li Zheng with a calm expression: "Firstly, it's due to my personality, and secondly, we are not familiar with each other after all. Once we get to know each other better, everything will be fine."

Li Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, who is the second brother waiting for?"

"Zhuo Guangrui."

"Zhuo Guangrui?"

Li Zheng thought about it, then suddenly patted his head and said, "I remember now. When my second brother got married, this Zhuo Guangrui gave him a very generous gift."

Li Yun smiled and said, "It's him. This person... is also a talent."

He looked outside the tent and whispered, "Perhaps, he is from the same group as us."

……

Two days later, on this morning, the two brigades that had fallen behind returned to the Wuzhou camp. The two brigade commanders were called into the big tent by Li Yun and given a severe scolding.

Guo Zhen and Sun Hanzi were so scolded that they dared not raise their heads.

After Li Yun finished scolding, Sun Hanzi looked up at Li Yun and smiled: "Boss, we brought back a lot of good things."

"This village is a large village that has been around for 20 to 30 years. It has been causing trouble for a long time. We saw them killing people on the road with our own eyes. We couldn't bear to watch it, so we attacked them."

"Now, it has been completely wiped out, and everything in the village has been taken back."

Sun Hanzi looked at Li Yun and said, "There are two carts of money and food alone."

Li Yun then looked at the two of them and asked, "How many casualties did our army suffer?"

The two men replied, "More than ten were injured, and five or six brothers could not be saved."

Li Yun took a deep breath, his expression eased slightly, and he said silently: "Even so, the two of you still broke the rules, and you still have to be punished. I will fine you half a year's salary. Are you two satisfied with this?"

"I am convinced. I am convinced."

Sun Hanzi kept bowing his head, but he soon looked up at Li Yun again, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss, I'm not Hanzi anymore. My wife changed my name."

He said seriously: "I changed my name to Sun Lu."

Li Yun was speechless, and cursed with a smile: "I know, get out of here."

"Next time something like this happens, if you don't ask for permission in advance, your brigade commander will not be allowed to do it!"

The two brigade commanders then fled from Li Yun's tent in shame.

In the afternoon, Zhuo Guangrui, whom Li Yun had been waiting for for several days, was finally invited to the Wuzhou Camp outside Wuzhou City. Li Yun went out to greet him in person, saluted Zhuo the County Magistrate from a distance, and smiled heartily.

"Envoy Zhuo, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
