Chapter 389 Constraints
The Xichun County Mutiny disappeared when the first dawn of dawn appeared in the early morning. The county government looked like it used to be, except that the soldiers guarding the county government had changed from the previous imperial guards to the city guards.
Many people vaguely knew that something happened in the city last night, but few people had the courage to inquire about the specific situation. Few people knew about the current situation in the county government.
Everyone knows that at such a moment, the less you know, the safer it is.
Xue Shao sat in the Guancang camp. He naturally knew that Han Mo and Miao Wu led people out of the city yesterday, but he didn't know where they went.
Han Mo, the Supreme Commander, is not here, so he naturally has to shoulder the important responsibility of protecting food.
He naturally knew the mutiny that occurred in the city garrison last night and surrounded the county government. According to his personal temper, he was to rush over with his subordinates with his imperial guards and teach those city guards a lesson.
But Xue Shao is not a reckless man. Although he is brave, he is not as good as a develop-minded person.
The city defenders did not act sooner or later, but chose to act when Han Mo was away. There must be precise premeditation in this. They did not care about the existence of the Imperial Guard, that is, there were weights that the Imperial Guard could not easily be used. Although Xue Shao could not figure out the weight for a while, he keenly thought that once he really rushed over with his troops, he would probably fall into the trap set by those people and hit their minds.
Last night, he sent people to inquire about the situation there, and learned that Xiao Mu led the Imperial Guards, a very small number of people, to fight with the city defenders.
His brother was fighting bloody battles and being bullied. Xue Shao only felt that his blood was about to burn at that time, and he almost drew his sword to lead people to rush forward.
However, as a veteran who has been in the army for many years, in addition to being passionate, he is also calm when facing difficulties.
The more the other party wants him to go out, the deeper the trap, the less he can't go out.
Keep the granary and endure everything!
He murmured in his heart over and over again, even though his blood was boiling, even if his strong body was trembling with anger.
Since Han Mo handed over the official warehouse to him before leaving, even if he gave his life, he would still fulfill the order left by Han Mo.
He didn't know what was going on in Han Mo. He firmly believed that if Han Mo was there, the city defenders would never dare to do that. Even if the city defenders really did that, Han Mo would definitely have a correct judgment and decisive order.
But he is not Han Mo.
So he could only endure it and endure it with all his might.
From late yesterday night until today's first light of dawn fell on the earth, Xue Shao has been sitting in the camp, clenching his fists, his nails are deeply trapped in the flesh, and blood is overflowing.
He knew that outside the camp, a group of imperial guards stood overnight.
The group of imperial guards also knew that their companions in the county government were facing danger. They were all armored and held the hilt of the knife in their hands, waiting for Xue Shao to give orders.
But this order has not been waiting for a long time.
The Imperial Guard is a noble family and has never suffered such humiliation. This humiliation is like a big hammer, pounding their self-esteem and their glory and pride as the Imperial Guard.
...
Nearly ten imperial guards stood in front of the tent, and finally saw the tent open, Xue Shao's tall figure walked out of the tent.
Everyone saw that Xue Shao looked extremely tired and had a sparse beard. If he hadn't been wearing majestic imperial armor, he would have almost looked like a disciple of the Beggars' Sect.
"I know what you think." Xue Shao said slowly: "But from the Lord's instructions, we have to obey. Our duty is to ensure the safety of the two granaries."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, without the thunderous sound of the past, and looked even less energetic.
"Don't worry about them. In Yan State, no one dares to hurt our Imperial Guards. If they really have this kind of person, the Imperial Guards will definitely let them know what fear is!" Xue Shao said in a deep voice: "It's dawn, you are going to open the warehouse and release grain... I will ask for the Supervisor and ask him what this is!"
"When will General Han come back?" someone asked, "Where has General Han gone?"
Xue Shao naturally could not admit that Han Mo was missing. He could not say such words that shake the morale of the army. He just waved his hand, "General Han has his own affairs, so you don't need to ask more. The general will come back soon... At that time, the general will definitely seek justice for us!"
He pointed at the two people and ordered: "You, you, follow me to the Chunyuan to meet the Supervisor!"
Both of them bowed to him.
Xue Shao didn't say much, and took a big step and left. Two imperial guards hurriedly followed and took a few steps. Xue Shao suddenly stopped and turned around, "Everyone, I believe you still remember what the commander said...!" After a pause, he said word by word: "If anyone violates the imperial guard, he will seek death!"
The commander he mentioned naturally refers to E Qinglun, the commander of the Leopard Camp!
Xue Shao led his men to the horse. As soon as he left the main gate of the granary, he saw several cavalry galloping towards him. The leader was Situ Jing, the governor of Yichun County.
Xue Shao frowned, but Situ Jing was a member of the country after all. Although the Imperial Guard was the Royal Guard, the Imperial Guard still had to pay homage to the county magistrate according to the court's regulations.
He could only turn over and get off the horse, go forward and bow with his fists, "I have seen the county magistrate!"
Situ Jing also got off the horse, holding a horse whip in her hand, looked at Xue Shao, and then said lightly: "Where is the lieutenant Xue Hujun going? The victims outside the city are still waiting for food. Can you arrange for food to be released?"
“Arrangement is being made!”
"Is General Han in the camp or not? I have something to discuss with him!" Situ Jing asked faintly with a smug look in his eyes.
Xue Shao frowned and looked up at Situ Jing. Seeing the unconcealable pride on his face, an extremely vague premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Since Han Mo entered Yichun and had several confrontations, it can be said that Situ Jing has felt a little afraid of Han Mo.
Xue Shao even felt that if Han Mo was really in the camp, Situ Jing would not dare to bring such a few people to come here. Even if there was something wrong, he would probably only send someone to invite him.
Looking at Situ Jing's expression and behavior, this guy seemed to really know that Han Mo was not in the camp.
"General Han has something to do, but he is not in the camp at the moment." Xue Shao said slowly: "If the county magistrate has something important, please inform the last general. When General Han returns, the last general will report to the general!"
Situ Jing smiled coldly, but didn't give her a good look, "Tell you? Xu Gujunwei, you really respect yourself."
Although Xue Shao was angry, he was very clear in his heart that the entire Imperial Guard now was borne by himself, and he must be calm and must not be impulsive.
This place is the territory of the He clan and Situ Jing's place, and will never fall into the trap of the other party.
Situ Jing held the whip in his hand and carried it behind her back. She actually walked into the warehouse and said as she walked: "Emperor Xue Hujun, how much food do you have? You should put the food twice a day?"
"Yes, it's the time of Mao and You!" Xue Shao said with anger: "This is what General Han ordered."
Situ Jing stopped and turned to look at Xue Shao, "But the people outside the city have complained a lot these days. I blame your imperial guards for being too harsh and giving too little food. Let's do this. From today on, we will still release food twice a day, but the amount of food... doubles!"
Xue Shao frowned and said, "Double? The county magistrate, the food is now scarce, and the flood will not know when it will retreat, and the victims will not know when they will be able to return home. If the grain is opened, the food in the rice warehouse will not last for a few days. When the food is exhausted, there will be chaos."
"Your Royal Guards are responsible for protecting grain, why haven't the subsequent grain arrived yet?" Situ Jing said sternly: "As the governor of Yichun County, one of the parents, I think about the food and clothing of my people. The victims are hungry. If there is food here, I will naturally transfer grain from here. Your General Han confiscated the grain from a warehouse in Dahong Midian. The two granaries combined have a lot of food. Do you still have to watch the victims starve? This official is absolutely not allowed to make the livelihood of the people. Even if you offend your Royal Guards, the noble soldiers, I will ask you to double the grain...!" At this time, Situ Jing was arrogant and aggressive. The pitiful look of shrinking and unable to speak in front of Han Mo was completely replaced by strong arrogance.
Xue Shao was full of doubts and felt extremely uneasy about Situ Jing's sudden strength that turned first.
Situ Jing's righteous look made Xue Shao despise this pretender from the bottom of his heart. He just said lightly: "Mr. The county magistrate is under General Han's command. It is not impossible to double the grain, but General Han requires orders to be completed, otherwise... no one can do it!"
"What do you mean?" Situ Jing said with a sinister face: "Is my order not easy to use?"
Xue Shao opened his eyes wide and said, "Shu Mo said frankly, but the fact is this. Since our Imperial Guardian is responsible for protecting grain, we must protect the disaster relief grain with all our duties. Even if one more grain of disaster relief grain is released, it will take General Han to order it!"
Situ Jing sneered: "Okay, okay, the Imperial Guard is indeed arrogant. Last night, a guard lieutenant openly attacked the city guards, and today Xue Shao is going to be in charge!"
Xue Shao widened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Mr. County Magistrate, I really have something to ask you, where is Xiao Muxiao's Guardian now? General Han ordered the Imperial Guardian to protect the county government. However, the last general heard that there was a chaos at the other end of the county government last night, and a group of soldiers forced to siege the county government government, but he didn't know if this matter was true or false?"
"It's true that there are military soldiers, but the so-called besieging the county government is nonsense!" Situ Jing held a whip in one hand and gently patted the palm of the other hand, "It's just a defense!"
"relieve?"
"No," Situ Jing said calmly: "As the guardian of a county, I am a commander of a county, and I will transfer troops to change defenses... Isn't this going to report to the military commander Xue Hu?
Xue Shao said: "I dare not. But... General Han has ordered that our Imperial Guards are responsible for guarding the county government and protecting officials from the Ministry of Personnel to review the case, but somehow they need to change the defense?"
Situ Jing sneered: "I don't need to explain this to you. If General Han comes to ask, I will tell him the reason!"
Xue Shao frowned, his bearded man raised his head slightly, and asked again: "Since the defense is changed, the Imperial Guard, who is responsible for guarding the county government, should return to the battalion to report. However, the last general has not seen anyone come back. I wonder where the Guard Guard and the Imperial Brothers are?"
Situ Jing glanced at Xue Shao and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Xiao Mu and the Imperial Guard are both very good... When it's time to come back, they will naturally come back!" He raised his voice and said, "Emperor Xue Hu Jun, you should take people to release food!"
Xue Shao said seriously: "The last matter has been arranged, and the last matter is about to ask for the Supervisor!"
"Sir, Supervisor?" Situ Jing frowned and said coldly: "You mean Lord Ling, right? You don't have to go. I just came from the Spring Garden, but I wanted to see Lord Ling, but... Lord Ling was infected with a cold wind last night and was unwell. The doctor saw that he had to rest for a few days, and no one could disturb him... Lord Ling has not seen guests in the past two days!"
Anger flashed in Xue Shao's eyes and he clenched his fists.
These guys are indeed planning step by step, and everything is arranged incredibly precise.
