Chapter 320: The Wise Official Family (For the 'Fat Cow Who Loves Chicks')
Xiping Prefecture is a state of bondage, and there are many local natives, and most of those natives do not accept the king.
Therefore, the rule of the Great Song here is only symbolic, and each tribe is in charge of itself.
Song Shiyao is the capital inspector, and his subordinates control multiple inspection divisions.
"Xipingzhou is not peaceful, the natives do not accept the king, and the Jiaozhi people don't see them to help when they come, so they can only rely on us."
Ahead was a small stream, and more than a dozen Jiaozhi people stood on the opposite bank to provoke.
Before the Tang Dynasty, Cochin was under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains, so it was a cultural circle.
It's just that Jiaozhi is far away from the Central Plains after all, and the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and a group of ambitious guys have gradually been bred.
These people are fighting for me, with the help of the chaos of the Central Plains, they have become self-reliant, today it is you, tomorrow it is me, there is chaos, you sing and I appear.
The cochin people were shouting, and even wielding long knives.
"Grass mud horse!"
Someone here began to shoot back, and the shouting and scolding were endless.
Song Shiyao was staring at those Jiaozhi people.
Sly!
And somewhat unscrupulous.
His gaze moved past the men to the forest behind him.
In the spring, the southern country is already green with green grass and quiet in the forest.
"Patrol them all and kill them.
Some of his subordinates couldn't help it, and clenched the hilt of the knife with a fierce look.
"All patrols, this river is not deep, let's go directly over and shoot them with bows and arrows."
Song Shiyao came to the border to inspect, but the other side of the river was also the land of the Great Song Dynasty, but there were Jiaozhi people.
He shook his head and said with a solemn face: "They are provoking, but they are weak, why dare they provoke us?" ”
Because the conflict between the two sides intensified, he brought more than a hundred people, and even cavalry.
It only took a single blow to kill the cochins, but he hesitated.
"Let's go!"
Song Shiyao cautiously chose to continue the inspection.
The Jiaozhi people on the opposite side were scolding, but Song Jun gradually moved away.
They turned around in disappointment and went into the woods.
In the spring, everything in the woods bursts with life, and everywhere is green.
It is inaccessible here, and the accumulation of years has made a thick layer of fallen leaves accumulate on the ground.
Fallen leaves will slowly decay and then give off a strange smell, as well as some inexplicable germs.
The locals can survive in this environment, but the northerners cannot.
The so-called northerners are probably people other than the southwest.
After these people come here, it will not take long for them to collapse due to various diseases, and the most common ones are fever and diarrhea.
Otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty would be happy to send the forbidden army to garrison here and teach Li Rizun, who was crowned by the monkey, a lesson.
Stepping barefoot on the soft pile of fallen leaves is very comfortable.
A venomous snake quietly raised its head, its triangular head raised, and then pounced.
"Snake!"
A man shouted, and the man in front jumped up.
The viper was about to flee as soon as it missed, but as soon as it turned around, a man of the fingers chased after it and leaned down to catch it.
A group of people laughed, someone took out a short knife, cut the snake in a few clicks, and then couldn't wait to make a fire and roast the meat.
One of them continued to walk inside, but after a hundred paces, he gave a whistle.
The silent woods moved at once.
Countless people came out from the depths, and the first general came to ask questions.
"What about the Song people?"
"They didn't come, they left."
The general was disappointed, he turned to look at his men, and said, "It's a pity, if they cross the river, then we will take the opportunity to kill them...... Then attack Xiping Prefecture all the way, so I have to take a place to go back......"
Here I regret it, but I regret it there.
"All patrols, we should cross the river to ......"
The complaints under his command are like floating clouds to Song Shiyao, and he is very nervous.
In Yongzhou, when Song Shiyao arrived, Song Cheng happened to be there.
"I've seen the Cao Festival."
Cao Jie is the name given to the transshipment envoy.
Song Cheng came to Yongzhou because of the Jiaozhi attack, and when he saw Song Shiyao returning, his face, which had been stiff, relaxed, and asked, "How are the Jiaozhi people?" ”
He needs to write a note based on the conclusions of this inspection, and even decide how to respond.
As a civil official, it is naturally unrealistic for him to go to patrol the border in person, so Song Shiyao is his eyes.
Song Shiyao said: "Cao Jie, I have met Jiaozhi people along the way. ”
"How many?"
Song Cheng was a little nervous.
"More than a dozen people."
Well?
Song Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw that Song Shiyao was nervous, "More than ten people? So what are you afraid of? ”
Song Shiyao said: "Cao Jie, Xiaguan and Jiaozhi people have dealt with many times, and they know their temperament very well. After this inspection, the lower officials always felt that the Jiaozhi people refused to settle down, and were just looking for excuses...... It's also looking for our weaknesses, and then we will attack. ”
He said sincerely: "Cao Jie, be on guard." ”
Song Cheng shook his head and said, "More than ten people make you timid?" Impotent! ”
Compared with the inspection of the capital, the transfer envoy is heaven and earth, and the status gap is too big.
Song Cheng could only bow his head, but he didn't give up, so he said: "Cao Jie, Xia Guan really feels that Jiaozhi is a person...... They have always been ambitious to annex Xipingzhou...... The lower officials thought that they should send more scouts to find out the news, and ...... We must hoard ordnance, food, and grass, and train our sergeants......"
This is a normal suggestion and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Cowardly!"
Song Cheng's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said: "Last time, you led people to chase and kill in Jiaozhi, which caused trouble, and now you still want to provoke a fight?" ”
This is said to be the last time Jiaozhi Shen Shaotai led the army to rush into Xipingzhou, the excuse was to find a fugitive, and then was intercepted by Song Shiyao and led the army, and chased all the way, directly into Jiaozhi.
Song Shiyao lowered his head and said: "Cao Jie, if the Jiaozhi people come, the lower officials are willing to martyr." ”
This is to die to make the will.
Song Cheng's face turned slightly pale, and he said: "Don't talk nonsense about what martyrdom is not martyrdom, at this time, the Jiaozhi people want to find an excuse, if our whole armament war is detected by them, this is a ready-made excuse." ”
Song Shiyao raised his head and said: "Cao Jie, there are many excuses, Jiaozhi people are shameless, if they really want to attack, they don't even need excuses." ”
Be on your guard!
He always felt that the Jiaozhi people would not give up.
Song Cheng frowned and said: "Hugh has to say it again, you are only in charge of patrolling the border here, you must not provoke without authorization, you must not take the lead, and you don't dare to be presumptuous if you want to come to Jiaozhi." ”
Song Shiyao smiled bitterly: "Cao Festival...... Yes, the lower officials know. ”
Song Cheng nodded slightly, and then went out.
After such a trip, the political affairs of Guangnan West Road have been estimated to have been pressed a lot. After returning to Guizhou, it will be enough for him to be busy for a while.
All the way out of the city, just as he was about to urge the horse to gallop, he saw several horses galloping in front of him.
"There's an emergency, get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
Passers-by avoided one after another, and several riders quickly approached.
Song Chengcheng rode a horse on the side of the road, and when he saw him a few times closer, someone shouted: "It's Cao Festival!" ”
Everyone reined in one after another, and one of them approached and said: "Cao Jie, news of Bianliang." ”
Song Cheng's eyes were slightly hot, and he asked, "What's the news about Bianliang?" ”
Being an official in Guangxi is almost the same as exile. Song Cheng naturally hoped to be transferred back.
But it takes a relationship, it needs a context.
And he didn't.
If he had, he would not have been an official here.
The man said: "Cao Festival, there is a will to Guizhou......"
Song Cheng immediately dismounted and stood up straight.
The man also dismounted, gasped a few times, and said, "...... Jiaozhi is capricious, Li Rizun is domineering, and Guangnan West Road is on guard......"
Song Cheng's body shook, and then turned to look at the city.
Alert?
Song Shiyao's words just now echoed in his mind.
- Shameless for the cochins!
Previously, he also rejected the request to strengthen the vigilance in a convincing manner, but the officials and Zaifu slapped him in the blink of an eye......
He subconsciously touched his face, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and then asked, "What else?" ”
He felt that the matter should not be easy.
The messenger said, "Cao Jie, it is said that a batch of weapons will be shipped from Bianliang immediately. ”
"What weapon?"
"I don't know."
Song Cheng felt that his face was a little hot, and then asked the messenger about the situation, and said: "I will rush back to Guizhou immediately, ...... here."
He slapped his head, feeling a little uncomfortable with the knife in the sheath.
I have to go back and explain it!
As for how to guard Yongzhou and Qinzhou, he had to go and discuss with the officials, and he would not be able to rush back to Guizhou for at least a few days.
The distance from outside the city gate to the state government is a little far, but Song Cheng feels that it is too close, and it is best not to walk for the rest of his life.
……
Song Shiyao was a little dazed, he stood outside the state office, looked at the pedestrians in front of him, and felt that only he was left in this world.
"If you really feel that the Cochin people are shameless, they will continue to attack......"
"But why didn't anyone pay attention to so-and-so?"
"Guangnan West Road has few weak generals, and once Nong Zhigao made the Great Song Dynasty busy...... The Jiaozhi people were not fools, they must have seen the weakness of the Great Song. ”
Song Shiyao was in pain, he felt that no one could pay attention to his distress and worries.
The inspector next to him said in a low voice: "All the inspections, last time Di Shuai killed Nong Zhigao, the Jiaozhi people must be afraid." If the army returns, Jiaozhi will be vulnerable. ”
Song Shiyao looked at the city and said bitterly: "This place is far away from the Central Plains, and it is not easy to supply, the key is that the water and soil are not adaptable...... We all despise the courage of the Cochins. ”
The inspector persuaded: "Since Cao Jie said that this matter is okay, let's leave it alone." Otherwise...... Hey! Isn't Cao Jie gone? How to come back again! ”
On the left, Song Cheng hurried over on horseback.
"I've seen the Cao Festival."
The crowd quickly avoided the side, and then crossed their hands and saluted.
Everyone thought he had dropped something, so they all lowered their heads.
Shangguan's embarrassment can't be seen, otherwise he will be unlucky sooner or later.
is also surnamed Song, but at this moment, Song Shiyao can only stand with his head down.
There were some inexplicable things in his mind, such as the scene after Yongzhou was captured by the Jiaozhi people......
Killing, blood, fire, grinning......
They should be killed!
He gritted his teeth and thought, and then he saw a pair of shoes.
Looking up, he saw the familiar official uniform, and then Song Cheng's face.
Some embarrassed faces!
"Guangnan West Road, especially in Yongzhou and Qinzhou, should be on guard......"
What the?
This one...... Didn't you say earlier that you should not be on guard, so as not to trigger a fierce response from the Jiaozhi people?
What's the matter?
You regret it in the blink of an eye?
Song Shiyao asked in disbelief: "Cao Jie, is it true?" ”
This is rude, if it was in the past, Song Cheng would definitely scold him, and if he didn't get it right, he would be punished.
But now he patted Song Shiyao's shoulder with a smile and said, "Your vision is good, do a good job, so-and-so is already watching you." ”
"Cao Festival ......"
The unexpected joy came instantly, and Song Shiyao couldn't be happy.
The official is wise!
"There are weapons that will arrive in the back, check carefully."
