212. Showdown
Lian State Affairs and his group ran to the bandits' army. They saw that the bandits did not mean to let him go through the mountain road, but raised their spears and their shields, clearly not allowing him to continue moving forward.
I was so angry when practicing state affairs: "What are you guys doing? Get out of the way, I will go to the Qianshan District Office and explain it to Zhu Ba or Wang Er."
A bandit leader came out of the military formation and recognized this person when practicing state affairs. He seemed to be Miao Mei, and he also had a seat in the mountain village. Miao Mei laughed and said, "Baby Zhu and second brother Wang are on the way here. You can just wait here. Qianshan can no longer let you go."
Lian was furious: "I am the official appointed by the court and the envoy of the emperor. Do you dare to block my official path? You dare to let me wait for Zhu Ba and Wang Er? It's simply outrageous. I must go to the front mountain today to take a look."
He shouted to the fifty soldiers beside him, "I don't believe anyone dares to stop me..."
"Sir, I can't rush!" The three soldiers hugged him at the same time and shouted together: "Don't give orders randomly..."
"Why can't you rush?" Lian State Affairs thrust his neck: "I don't believe that they dare to touch a hair of my hair."
The three soldiers did not dare to loosen their hands and hugged him tightly. One of them said hurriedly: "Sir, this is not a place for verbal slap in the dynasty... In front of us is an army with a formation set up. No matter what our identity is, even if the Jade Emperor is here, if he does not obtain the consent of the other general, the soldiers will immediately fight back in order to keep their formation from being disturbed, and it is ruthless."
This is because of practicing state affairs and not understanding military affairs. You must know how the army operates, which is very different from the civil servants' verbal fight. If a soldier sees an official who is bigger than himself or someone who cannot be killed in normal times, he will definitely have to retreat. However, when the soldier executes orders, such as standing guard or setting up positions, he will not be influenced by his personal emotions. No matter how big the official you are or how many great people you are, if you interfere with his mission, he will blow you down mercilessly.
For example, a real event that happened in later generations was a small armed policeman standing guard at the gate of a TV station. A popular actor wanted to enter the building. The actor did not bring an identity card, so the armed police did not let her in. The actor thought his identity was awesome, but the small armed policeman did not take it into her eyes. Moreover, she was a woman. She always thought that men would not attack women, so she wanted to force her into the building.
The result of forcibly entering was that she was beaten up by the armed police without hesitation! No matter whether you are a popular star or a king, no matter whether you are a man, a woman, a cat or a dog, soldiers will not be influenced by any emotions when they are on duty, and they will take action when it is time to take action.
I don’t understand these things when practicing state affairs. Fortunately, the soldiers under his command understood. The three soldiers hugged him tightly and dragged him back: "Sir, stop making trouble, let’s... just wait here."
I don’t know that I had already walked around the gates of hell just now. If the three soldiers hadn’t hugged him, he would have just walked forward three or five steps, and the spear would have penetrated the heart. Instead, he blamed the soldiers for not understanding the rank of the superiority and inferiority. The expression on his face was a bit ugly: “Bastard, when will it be your turn to take charge?”
The soldiers were so funny.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to practice state affairs. Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Er, and a large number of leaders walked along the mountain road.
Zhu Yuanzhang hugged his fists at Lian State Affairs: "Oh, Lord Censor, long time no see!"
"It's outrageous!" Lian State Affairs pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you still accepting the revenge? What's going on with these bandits? I want you to come from the truth one by one, otherwise you won't blame the ruthless heavenly soldiers and flatten your mere village."
"Well! Your question is good!" A naughty smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face: "Actually, I came to the Censor to talk about this matter today. After discussion by more than a dozen leaders of our copycat, I finally decided not to accept the revenge... Please let the Censor run into this valley. I am really sorry. Do you want to stay for a meal and take a shower? Let's take you down the mountain tomorrow..."
"What? I won't accept the requisition?" Lian was shocked. The reason why he was condescending and pretended to be an official was because he believed that this bandit was dedicated to requisition. No matter how harsh the thieves put forward, the initiative would always be in the court, because after being requisitioned, they would always be under the jurisdiction of the court. Unexpectedly, in the end, these guys actually said that they would not be requisitioned? What does this mean?
He was stunned for a moment when he practiced state affairs. After a while, he realized and said furiously: "You are so brave. It turns out that you have been playing tricks on me all these days?"
"Oh, I'm really sorry for playing with you!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, and a group of leaders behind him laughed: "We just want to delay for a few days, who told you to cooperate with us obediently."
"Procrastination... is it really delaying time?" Lian State Affairs murmured this sentence, and then suddenly remembered the words that Yang Hong had been chanting in his ears. At this time, he had no choice but to believe it, but there must be a reason for delaying time? He really couldn't think of the use of bandits to delay time. The imperial soldiers would eventually come to wipe out them, right? What's the intention to drag on it?
"You must be wondering why I have to delay time..." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "But even if you ask me, I am not interested in telling you, why don't you go back and ask Yang He, the governor of the Three Countries, with this question. If I expected it, he, who has the most information, can already guess the reason for me to delay time..."
"Okay...good...good!" He was so angry that his chest was undone. His arrogant literati like him could not stand the teasing of others, because since ancient times, literati have loved face. The so-called "the problem of face is better than surrender, and money and power can be given up." This is the true portrayal of ancient literati. Therefore, there are stories such as "not accepting food given by pity" and "not bowing for five dou of rice" that are passed down. After all, they are all about face making trouble.
When practicing state affairs, he felt that his face was too unblocked, so he waved his sleeves: "Okay, you have a habit! When I return to Baishui City, I will immediately ignite the heavenly soldiers and razed your broken village to the ground." He shook away the three soldiers who were holding him and shouted: "Let's go, go down the mountain and return to the city."
"Censor Censor... General Yang Hong is still taking a bath in the back mountain..." a soldier said anxiously.
I really want to say nothing about him, but his heart trembled. After all, this sentence was not spoken, but sighed: "Go and a few people call General Yang Hong, and I say that I am waiting for him to return to the city at the foot of the mountain... I am... Alas, I blamed him wrongly before, this time I want to have a good chat with him... Go quickly..."
After practicing state affairs, he no longer wanted to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. He felt a humiliation he had never experienced before. He just wanted to bring troops to level the place as soon as possible. So he waved his sleeves and turned into a path next to him. No matter which direction he was walking, anyway, as long as it was downhill, dozens of soldiers quickly followed.
Zhu Yuanzhang watched him leave, but did not stop him. He continued to wait on the mountain road. After a while, several soldiers came over with Yang Hong. Yang Hong had just finished taking a shower, his hair was still wet and his armor was not neatly worn. While walking, he was still holding the rings on the armor. When he walked closer, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and stopped him, and smiled and said, "General Yang Hong, are you leaving now?"
Yang Hong did not answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Borrow a step to speak!"
Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, glanced at the soldiers who came to call him, and didn't know what was going on in his mind, and he actually followed Zhu Yuanzhang into the woods next to him.
When he walked into the woods, there was no one near him. Yang Hong lowered his face and said, "What's the matter with me?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you still remember what I said? If you don't want to die, stay and become a bandit, or go back, there is only one way to die."
Yang Hong frowned: "Although this person who practices state affairs is stubborn and stupid, he has no problem with his character. Now he knows that what I said is right, and he will definitely not harm me again after he goes back. Maybe he will submit to the court and give me an additional title. Why do you say that I am dead?"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "So you can only be a thousand households, and you can never climb up this official position... Your understanding of the officialdom is too naive... According to my observation, this person who practices state affairs is indeed very scholarly. This time he will definitely apologize to you. You may be able to become friends... But... do you think this will be fine?"
"What's the solution?" Yang Hong lowered his face.
"Practicing state affairs may not want to harm you, but... hehe... practicing state affairs is just a small piece in the huge civil service system. There are many invisible secret hands that control this plan of retrieval... After this retrieval failed, the responsibility will be pushed around and over again. Who would you guess it would be pushed on?"
"Hey, it's not a big deal to fail to recruit and recruit." Yang Hong was not so scared. He sneered: "We will bring troops to you after we go back and level your village. When the world is peaceful, who will give up any responsibility? Both Lian State Affairs and I have only made merits and never before."
"But..." Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately paused and said with a smile: "If the recruitment failed and the encirclement and suppression failed, the world would be in peace and wars would spread everywhere again, what would happen?"
"Stop talking to the sleep here!" Yang Hong snorted coldly: "The imperial court's heavenly soldiers will come continuously. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you are not a match for the imperial court."
"Aren't you guessing the reason why I delay time?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Now I'll tell you... about the one hundred thousand taels of silver pleading..."
