The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions
Chapter 592: 5 Creek City【Next】
The gongs and drums are noisy, and the pennants are on display.
Wuxi City, which has been silent for several months, has not been so bustling for a long time.
Luo Qi introduced several subordinate officials, eagerly waiting outside Xuanfu's yamen, with a look of joy and encouragement on his face, but there was a lot of inseparable sorrow between his eyebrows.
The officers and army fought against the thieves and even captured the Barbarian Chief Yahamo. Although it boosted the morale of the people, it was not necessarily a good thing for Luo Chen and Wuxi City.
A few days ago, when he heard that the Wuxi barbarians intend to go down the mountain again to harass them, Luo Chen secretly sent people to go deep into the hinterland of the mountain to appease the jail barbarians, at least until the imperial court pacified the rebel army.
Who would have thought that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the counter-insurgency army was still held in southern Xinjiang. The pioneer of the Beijing camp, who arrived first, stabbed a hornet's nest without knowing how far it was.
In this way, wouldn't it be vain for all his previous painstaking efforts?
And if the barbarian becomes angry and assembles an army to kill him down the mountain, with the status quo of Wuxi City, how can he resist it? !
The most depressing thing for Luo Chen is that these things can't be put on the table. After all, he sent people to contact the Wuxi barbarians, but he made a private decision without the court's approval.
He even had to pretend to be happy in front of the people in the city to welcome the stupid and reckless man!
The book does not go into details.
Luo Zhen smiled on his face like this. In his heart, the MMP waited for about a quarter of an hour before seeing the soldiers marching around the city. Under the guidance of the county government officials beating gongs and drums, Shi Shiran moved towards this side.
And those ignorant and short-sighted people still followed the road and cheered all the way.
Ah~
Luo Chen sighed secretly in his heart, a sense of sorrow that everyone was drunk and I was alone, came to life spontaneously.
But in such a situation, he still had to put on a happy face, greeted him with strides, and said loudly from a distance: "Xu Qianhu is worthy of being the veteran of Beijing, and he will make such great achievements without saying a word! My officer..."
"grown ups!"
He hadn’t finished the scene here, and the Wuxi county magistrate next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and reminded him in a low voice: “Then Xu Qianhu is just a lieutenant. In order to deceive the barbarians, he played the banner of the main general and was ordered to lead The soldiers who came to quell the rebellion were actually Lord Sun Shaozong."
Sun Shaozong?
The name seems familiar.
At the moment, there is no room for much thought, Luo Zhen hurriedly made a sudden pretense, laughed loudly: "Sure enough, he is an elite of the Beijing battalion. This method of attacking the west and the soldiers is not tired of deceit, even the official is kept in the dark."
As he spoke, a burly general in front of him had already strode forward to greet him, and said, "Sun has seen Lord Luo!"
After a few steps, Luo Chen still had to raise his head slightly to meet his eyes.
Of course, this is also because Sun Shaozong only slightly nodded and did not give full courtesy.
He was so arrogant in front of Shangguan, he was indeed a proud soldier!
No wonder he refused to even know that he would go straight to the mountains to provoke the barbarians.
Luo Chen's heart became more and more unhappy, but it was not easy to be in front of others, so he had to give his hand and smirked: "Sun Qianhu came from afar and secretly crossed Chen Cang and captured the barbarian chief Yahamo. He must have been tired. It's tight, the official specially ordered someone to prepare wine and vegetables in the yamen, so please let Sun Qianhu pick up the dust!"
When he was looking at Sun Shaozong, Sun Shaozong also included his behavior and remarks in his eyes.
The shadowy person just saw Lord Luo, who didn't seem to welcome himself and others very much.
However, Sun Shaozong didn't care too much, he smiled and said that it is better to obey his fate than respect, and walked ahead as a benevolent.
What a rude guy!
Luo Chen's complexion finally couldn't help but collapse. Even if he is meritorious, there is always a difference in context.
How can there be a reason for a martial artist to subordinate to an official and go wild in front of a civilian superior?
Even the proud soldiers from the capital, this kind of behavior is too presumptuous, right?
"Master Luo."
At this time, the Wuxi county magistrate on the side hurriedly came up again and explained in a low voice: "Master Sun is also an official post of the Secretary-General of the Hebei Chief Envoy, and he should be in front of the adults according to the rules of the court."
Chief Minister Siyou is in the meeting? !
Even though Luo Zhendang was a little dumbfounded, he secretly said that this surnamed Sun was only a gracious courtesy.
Although the Xuanfu envoy had more military power than the general prefects, his rank was lower than that of the prefects, and he was sent from the fourth rank.
Participation is also based on the fourth grade, and it is still the province's top difference. Even if it is not an official of the province, it is a matter of course to be listed before the promulgation and fussing.
just……
This is obviously a fierce general who leads soldiers to fight, but how can he have a civilian position higher than that of a military position?
Luo Chen's mind was filled with question marks, and he followed Sun Shaozong into the Xuanfu ambassador's yamen in a muddle-headed manner. When he saw that he was about to be seated between the guest and the host, he suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "I heard that there is a Qingtian **** in Beijing who ruled Sun Zhizhong. , But I don't know what is the relationship with Lord Sun?"
When Sun Shaozong was about to sit in, he suddenly heard Luo Chen mention this, and immediately waved his hand and smiled: "What the Qingtian said, it's just the people of the capital, it's not true, absolutely not true."
"It was really Sun Zhizhong in person?!"
The horror in Luo Chen's heart this time was far above just now.
Although it is thousands of miles away, Luo Chen has read the news about Sun Shaozongzhi's cracking the strange case more than once in the Di Bao in the past two years.
It's just that Sun Shaozong's majestic body is really far from the image he imagined, and this has failed to combine the two in time.
However, after learning that Sun Shaozong was the ruler of Shuntian Mansion, who was known for his wit and was repeatedly commended by the court, Luo Chen felt a lot of incomprehension.
Coupled with the status of civil servants [the matter of Sun Shaozong's transfer from Wu Jinshi, not listed in the Dibao], there are a lot of barriers and taboos less subconsciously.
As a result, Luo Chen gritted his teeth and gave a polite to Sun Shaozong: "Since Lord Sun is face-to-face, there is something unclear about the next official, and I hope Lord Sun will have some advice."
Naturally, Sun Shaozong was also busy and gave a gift: "Don't dare, I also ask Master Luo for advice."
Just listen to Luo Chen's question: "Dare to ask Master Sun, the army that rebelled against the court is now detained in southern Xinjiang?"
In fact, the so-called counter-insurgency army remains on paper at all.
But at the moment Sun Shaozong has not been able to completely open the situation. If he tells the truth, I am afraid that the morale that has just been boosted in the city will immediately fall into a trough.
Therefore, he nodded vaguely and said: "At the moment, it is true that only Sun's more than 1,500 people are subordinate."
"Hey!"
Luo Ying clenched his fist and hammered heavily in his palm: "Since the army has not arrived, why did Master Sun take the initiative to provoke the Wuxi barbarian? Even if the Tongxi barbarian is severely injured, the remaining four clans add up to two or three. If the crowds of tens of thousands come down the mountain with anger and anger, how should you and I resist?!"
Having said this, he bowed to the end: "I've heard that Master Sun is so smart, there must be a plan to solve Luo's anxiety."
In fact, Sun Shaozong hadn't prepared anything to explain to the officials in Wuxi City.
After all, he still had the official title of Counselor on his head, and even if things were inconsistent, and all the soldiers and horses under his command were transferred to the local order, it would not be the turn of a mere ambassador to govern.
However, Sun Shaozong couldn't ignore what Luo Chen said solemnly and put on a gesture of begging for orders from the people of a city.
So after thinking about his words in his heart, he asked back: "Master Luo, according to the current situation in southern Xinjiang, if the army is late, only me, a thousand and five hundred people, will be stationed in Wuxi City. Do you think the barbarians will Always stay in the mountains obediently?"
"This……"
Although Luo Chen wanted to deny this hypothesis, before Wuxi barbarians rebelled, he had defeated more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, including reinforcements from the province.
Now it is the time of arrogance, how can you put the two or three thousand soldiers in the city in your eyes?
According to the intelligence analysis that I had heard, unsurprisingly, the barbarians would inevitably go down and looting again around the New Year's Day.
By then, Wuxi City will naturally bear the brunt.
Seeing that Luo Zhen was speechless, Sun Shaozong continued: "If you wait for the barbarians to take the initiative to attack, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city will inevitably be low. Even with my help, this Wuxi City may not be able to be preserved!"
"So Sun has to take the initiative to attack, one is to defeat each and weaken the strength of the barbarians; the other is to boost morale, let the soldiers in the city know that barbarians are not enough to fear; third, is to make the culprits know that I can attack well, so Scrupulous."
"As long as the city's military and public opinion are available, plus Sun's subordinates, they also bring a lot of firearms that are best at defending the city. I want to resist the barbarians' offensive in a short time."
"At that time, Sun will lead a handful of elites, choose the confidant of the barbarians to burn, kill and plunder, and then release mixed rumors of true and false, forcing the barbarians to wearied war and think about returning. Why worry about these mobs not being distracted?"
"Therefore, the reason why Sun took the initiative was to better defend Wuxi City!"
"It's just the beginning. After a few days of rest, Sun will continue to enter the mountains to beg thieves until the barbarians are frightened by the officers and soldiers!"
Although this statement is true and false, it sounds reasonable and well-founded.
Although Luo Zhen thought about it in his heart~lightnovelpub.net~, although he still felt that it was not safe enough, he couldn't think of a better idea.
Especially after knowing the identity of Sun Shaozong, his private interactions with barbarians did not dare to put it on the table.
So in the end he had to bow to the end again, and said with a wry smile: "Since Master Sun has a plan, Luo has to give up his life to accompany the gentleman. It is just that Master Wanwang thinks of the people of this city and can act as safely as possible.
Being able to think of the people from time to time, Luo Jian is still a good official.
The two untied their knots, and then the guest and the host were seated.
Seeing that the table was placed like a running water, Sun Shaozong was waiting to feast on it, but suddenly someone reported loudly: "My lord, the member Li from the west of the city sent two barbarians over here. It is said that they are the sons of the barbarian chief Yahamo! "
Got~
This down is also considered a member of the father and son team.
I don't know if the father and son can hold on for longer when they are stabbed by thousands of swords.
