Chapter 1005 Dragon Ape
"Report—"
Outside the prefect's yamen, a famous person who conveyed the letter came one after another, shouting words, all of which were going smoothly.
This is also considered a custom of the court. If any military battle affects ordinary people or some cities, if the war is not going well, it will naturally not promote it with great fanfare. Instead, it will conceal the news and prevent ordinary people from knowing it. This is to prevent the people from under adversity and under pressure, and there will inevitably be many changes in their minds. If one is careless, it will be civil changes.
But if the war goes well, even if it is just a small victory and kills two or three people, it is necessary to promote it. It is best for everyone along the way to know it. However, considering the physical strength of the person who reported the news, most of them choose to shout loudly when they rode their horses and let the people know it after entering the city, thus strengthening everyone's hearts.
At the moment, there was a constant stream of people reporting the news in the prefect's yamen, and on the streets in the city outside the yamen, a man galloped past on a fast horse, shouting many words—
"Great victory! The Northern Route Army under the command of Mr. Qiu, captured the Yuezhou camp, killed 3,000 enemies and captured 20,000 prisoners!"
"Great victory! The southern army under the command of Mr. Qiu, captured Lingnan and captured the White Lotus thief head alive!"
"A great victory! The Northern Route Army under the command of Mr. Qiu, defeating the coastal pirates!"
"The Southern Army under the command of Mr. Qiu, Yu Jiao, defeated the landlords to counterattack and settle the camp!"
“Bachelor Qiu…”
Most of the sounds start with "Great Victory", which can be said to be a clear idea. Even ordinary people who have no experience in fighting formations will first calm down when they hear these two words, and then they will feel at ease when they hear the three words "Sir Qiu". They know that they are all good things.
This was also after many things, and the whole city had already developed a kind of almost blind trust in Qiu Yan. The general was raised too high, which made him different.
This kind of thing is common even in Qiu Yan's previous life. All the people in the world are full of human hearts. Even if they are glamorous, what they think is actually limited to reality. It is just that the background and status they have are different. When doing some things, they can have fewer concerns and constraints. This will make them look different.
However, these concepts are not universal in the current world, because there is indeed extraordinary power in this world, and many people can do incredible things.
When people hear it for the first time, they may be shocked, but once they hear it too much, they assume that the person is beyond ordinary people, and they will no longer be surprised. Instead, they seem to have a reassurance and will not doubt the authenticity of the matter.
Not to mention the people in this city, even bureaucrats, generals, gentry, and merchants with different status can only sigh at this time.
"The Yuezhou Camp has been broken? Is this true or false?"
Standing in the lobby of the government office, Cui Sujing couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. After being valued by the Cui family, he gradually came into contact with a lot of information and was clear about the situation in the entire south. Especially, combined with the way of knowledge and action, he sometimes put forward good opinions, which made the Cui family look at him more and more impressed.
"It shouldn't be fake. Our Cui family has its own information network in various places. Although it is not strict enough, it has not been seen in the eyes of the White Lotus Sect and has been preserved. The fragmented news over the past few days can also be seen."
In front of Cui Sujing, his third uncle sat on the chair. When he heard the man muttering, he responded in a low voice.
At present, the lobby is full of people, and everyone is very dignified. The shrewd and capable Mr. Cui San was originally outstanding in the Cui family, but when he was placed in this group of people, he could not show too much extraordinary dignity.
This can also be seen from the position that Cui Sujing's location is located in the middle of the lobby, and further to the front, there are no less than ten people sitting. These people are not only extraordinary, but also graceful. When they stand there, their nobleness is almost overflowing!
Without further ado, we can learn that those in front of Cui Sujing are all people with official positions and military positions. Moreover, these people are not just bureaucrats in Tingzhou City, but also the entire Fujian area, half of Lingnan, and even a small number of real-powered officials in Jiangnan.
If all these people were not here, how could the people who reported the news from outside the city come one after another and pass the news to a city in Tingzhou?
For example, the Hu Bin, who was in the first place, is not a simple person. Although he was removed from his post by the emperor, his title is still there. In terms of status, even at the court meeting, he can stand at the forefront, let alone this place and a mansion?
In comparison, it is considered an exception to his ability to sit in this position. In fact, there are many officials and generals who are more powerful and have no positions. He can sit here without being criticized by others. The key is one thing-
Qiu Yan is now living in the Cui family.
Mr. Cui knew this very well, so he was very concerned about these battle reports.
Cui Sujing was also very thoughtful, so after listening to the war report, he couldn't help asking: "However, even if he had broken through Yuezhou, the Northern Army had not many troops. How could he divide many people to push all the pirates along the coast into the sea? There were seventeen battle reports before and after this. It was said that the Northern Army defeated the pirates. Could it be that the more than 2,000 people were broken into pieces and divided into several small groups, scattered across the coast to disperse the pirates?"
"It's unknown. The news of our business companies cannot even cover small coastal counties," Mr. Cui shook his head and then smiled slightly. "However, I think the five thousand soldiers are divided into two groups, which is already the limit of division of troops. If you disperse such troops, it will be no more than the loss. Moreover, the troops without Master Qiu following you, how can you have such courage?"
"Uncle San, do you mean that it is not actually the soldiers of Mr. Qiu, but the coastal county town that has defeated Mr. Qiu's name?" Cui Sujing heard this, and his knowledge of his actions was circulating in his heart. He had an answer, and his eyes were filled with enlightenment.
When Mr. Cui San was talking, he was also observing Cui Sujing. Seeing his expression change, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "This way of knowing and doing is really amazing. How long have you been learning this? Once you say this, you have learned from one example."
Cui Sujing said humbly: "Where is the third uncle misunderstanding? My nephew remembered the Jiaozhi war report again, saying that the Southern Army under Xue Shi Qiu's subordinates had even put down the rebellion of Annan Road. This matter was too strange."
Master Cui San smiled and said, "Speak."
Cui Sujing paused, noticed the eyes of the people around him, and also focused, a little nervous, but then remembered that Qiu Yan mentioned several allusions when he was teaching, and the thought came back firmly, and continued: "North Road South Road refers to the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Mr. Qiu. After the battle of Hongzhou, he was divided into two routes. The South Road was led by the scholar himself, and went south along the Yangtze River to restore Tingzhou. Today, he captured the White Lotus Sect Leader with a surprise weapon."
Speaking of the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Cui Sujing was nervous. He was actually half-believing and half-doubted about this information. After saying that, he saw that the people around him had no refutation, so he was a little calmer and continued to say, "This strange soldier went west and captured the thief's head overnight. It was an accident. Then he returned with the White Lotus thief. The news was confirmed, so where could he have time to run to Jiaozhi? So the news must be fake, but everything will not be groundless..."
At this time, a few more people looked at each other, and even Hu Bin and others in the innermost part were also careful. However, when everyone was watching, Cui Sujing silently understood the essence of knowledge and action, but he was not nervous, and his words became more and more fluid.
"My nephew thought, a few days ago, this coastal county town saw pirates coming, and claimed in the name of Scholar Qiu, that he had scared away the bandits. Now Scholar Qiu has shown his power, and there are probably many imitators. Five thousand soldiers and horses cannot come in one east, one west, thousands of miles, tens of thousands of miles in a flash, to attack cities and villages, but reputation can quickly spread with the mouths of others. Whether it is the people of Darui or the rebel thief, they will know that the people rely on them, and the thief will be afraid, and it is not impossible to retreat to the thief by reputation."
"While you are a little too presumptuous, you have some insights and are much better than that boy in my family."
At this time, a strong man spoke not far away.
After hearing this, Mr. Cui quickly got up, pulled Cui Sujing over to salute, and said, "Qi reported to the governor Zeng Jie, this is his nephew, and his words are ruthless, so please don't pursue it."
The man shook his head and said, "What's there to be investigated? You said you were your nephew, maybe Cui Sheng, who was valued by Master Qiu, no wonder, this is a talent, your Cui family is blessed."
"The Jiedushi praised it." Mr. Cui San said humble words, but his face smiled.
Later, Cui Sujing, who was performing the ceremony with him, also heard that this one was the mighty military governor, the father of the mighty young master.
The atmosphere in the lobby became much more relaxed. They gathered here, actually waiting for Qiu Yan to issue an order, and then go out of the city to watch the embarrassment of the thief being arrested, and strive to keep his name in history. So, on the surface, they still couldn't sit still when they talked, and they always paid attention to the news outside the mansion.
But just as the atmosphere in the hall became more and more relaxed, suddenly!
Boom!
An explosion came from the city, and as the ground was undulating, the people in the hall felt their bodies shaking, as if they were standing on the deck.
"What's going on?"
Hu Bin and others reacted immediately and immediately started asking.
"Dragon! There are dragons over there!"
Outside the hall, a series of exclamations suddenly came from a series of exclamations.
Everyone in the hall looked in the sound, their eyes passed through the lobby corridor, and into their sight, there was a divine dragon rushing straight to the sky!
Dragon roars and apes are heard!
