Chapter 113: Greedy by nature, greed makes one blind
The letter was circulated in the hands of eight people, and everyone frowned after reading it!
After three days, the solid Longtou Pass was lost, how long can Jiushan County last?
King Tu Nan is so powerful, who can stop him from the entire great general?
thump!
After a brief silence, the left prime minister Yang Fengguo knelt down and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to grant Wuling the commander of Chengzhou, and dispatch all the troops of Chengzhou to block the iron hoof of Tu Nanwang going south and guard the gateway of Chengzhou!"
Emperor Xinglong frowned and pondered, "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Wuling's ability to command troops is indeed far above Xue Pan, but he is young and energetic, stubborn, and does not take the deserted people seriously. If he is asked to command troops, he will definitely dare to send troops and fight against the deserted people's cavalry!"
Bao Qingshi said expressionlessly: "When King Tu Nan was able to capture Longtou Pass, he used the opportunity to buy Lu Chengye in advance. Xue Pan would definitely be on guard against this. He wanted to use this move again. If he could not fight Jiushan County, he would be a tough battle. The deserted cavalry is good at fighting wildly, fighting, and not good at fighting tough battles."
"Yeah, not bad!"
Emperor Xinglong nodded in a deep voice: "Now Xue Pan is more suitable for the battlefield of Jiushan County than Wuling."
There was another thing he didn't say, he was always worried about Wuling, worried that he would rebel after he ignored his mother, brother, and sister!
"His Majesty--"
When Yang Fengguo heard this argument, his eyes were about to break, and he shouted: "Do you know that when the Longtou Pass is broken, King Tu Nan will easily reach Chengzhou. As long as he breaks through Chengzhou City, there will be no obstacles to going south. You can drive straight into Huanglong and arrive at the capital. Now at the moment of life and death, you will still hand over your great cause and destiny to the hands of a playboy. Can you really feel at ease?"
Shi Yaoqian, the Minister of Works, scolded: "Yang Fengguo, you are so brave. You dare to roar in the imperial study and shout at Your Majesty. This is a serious crime of disobedience and deserves death!"
Emperor Xinglong frowned and looked at Yang Fengguo!
"If Your Majesty asks me to die, Mr. Yang will cherish this!"
Yang Fengguo looked up and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you must not look back at the moment of life and death.
I am willing to guarantee Wuling with my wealth and life, and he will not have any intention of the court. I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order immediately, and grant him the commander of Chengzhou and the army of Chengzhou to prevent the slaughter of the Southern King from going south.
If Your Majesty disagrees, it is useless for the old minister to make a statement and Wuyan becomes an official in the court again. He is willing to resign and retire!"
After saying that, Yang Fengguo took down the black veil, looking uncompromising!
"Your Majesty, there is no need for a young marshal in this battle. We will also resign and retire!"
Zhou Jingye, Minister of Rites, and Qin Zhan, Minister of War, took off the black veil and knelt down!
I am so tired that your Majesty doesn’t need one big strategy, and you can play the tricks of checks and balances all day long!
Now the country is in danger, and it is still like this!
"His Majesty!"
Yuan Guanluan, the Minister of Personnel, who has not spoken, also said: "I believe that the young marshal should be activated at this time. Although Xue Pan has a noble family, he has never fought any major battles. His experience is not as good as Ruan Chenggang, which is not enough to take on this important task.
The young marshal has experienced many battles, and no one in Chengzhou can surpass him! He is so pure that he has seen him and is willing to guarantee him."
"Yuan Aiqing, you see him like this too!"
Emperor Xinglong frowned for a moment and looked at the four ministers: "Okay, I will give him a chance to appoint him as the commander of the army and horses of Chengzhou, and to restrain Chengzhou soldiers and officials, and to resist the army of 100,000 deserted people who slaughtered the Nanwang!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yang Fengguo, Zhou Jingye, and Qin Zhan kowtowed happily, and his old eyes were filled with tears.

"Return to the commander!"
The clerk flipped the account book and replied: "A total of more than 2,000 people left the city and collected 110,000 taels of silver."
Xue Pan frowned and said, "It's just that. From tomorrow on, one person will collect 100 taels and try to get another 100,000 taels of silver."
The clerk worried, "But the commander, if we collect cash like this, we will definitely pass it to the capital. Paper will not cover the fire!"
Xue Pan sneered: "What's the point of collecting some silver? Compared to Longtou Pass, Jiushan County is not even worthy of being lost. I just want to make money now. When Jiushan County City is about to be broken, I will bring the silver back to the imperial capital. At that time, if you have some money to deal with it, you will find someone to take the blame. This level will be considered passing."
As he was speaking, an urgent voice rang out: "Young Marshal, you can't go in. The commander is busy with official duties, you can't go in without authorization!"
Wang Yuan and Wuling had already walked into the yard as they spoke. Looking at the boxes of silver, the two frowned and their eyes were full of anger!
"Wuling, you are so brave. You dare to trek into the commander's mansion!"
Xue Pan's eyes sank: "Believe it or not, I will send someone to take you down now, and use the army to rule your crimes!"
Wu Ling said nothing, his eyes swept across the gold and silver box, and looked at Xue Pan again, feeling in pain: it seemed that he didn't understand, and the country was in danger, how could he do this!
Feeling uncomfortable with this look, Xue Pan turned his head to look at Wang Yuan and sneered: "It turns out it's Mr. Mingtan. Do you also want to take your people out of the city? This is also simple. Give me another magic weapon and I'll give you a pass-through official text."
Wang Yuan suppressed his anger: "I don't plan to leave. I'm here to send the three-bow bed crossbow to help the soldiers defend the city! I hope you can take a look and see, the crossbow I made can really defend the city."
"Bed crossbow!"
Xue Pan sneered: "I didn't expect that Mr. Mingtan is not only good at writing poetry, but also able to make equipment. But I'm sorry, my craftsmen have made enough equipment to temporarily resist the army of deserted people. Mr. Mingtan doesn't have to worry about it."
Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and frowned!
I really didn't expect that the three-bow crossbows were delivered to the door, but Xue Pan didn't even take a look.
Yes, he is currently determined to make money by himself, so he still wants to defend the city!
This is simply a joke to take the lives of the people in the city!
"Xue—Pan—"
Thunder blew up and Wuling's eyes were about to break out, and he stepped forward: "I thought no matter how playful you are, you should have a little conscience and know your responsibilities."
But unexpectedly, you are so crazy that you don’t care about defense at this time, you just want to make money.
You are playing tricks on the lives of the people in the city, and you are ignoring the great cause and the country.
You are not worthy of being a commander, you deserve to die!"
"Bold, Wuling, you, as a prisoner, dare to be rude to me!"
Xue Pan's eyes sank: "Come on, take him down for me and get him to prison!"
Crazy...
Hundreds of fully armed soldiers rushed out and pulled out their bright waist-shaking knives one by one.
rub!
Wuling ignored it, unsheathed the sword on his waist, and walked towards Xue Pan step by step!
Xue Pan retreated in fear: "Go up, take him down!"
"kill!"
A group of soldiers swung their swords forward!
Wang Yuan frowned and grabbed the hilt of the knife.
I really didn't expect that Wuling was so fierce and Xue Pan's playboy had reached this point, and the situation was uncontrollable.
Forget it, now that things have come to this point, let’s do it in the worst situation!
Suddenly, a hurried shout came: "Where is Wuling? The imperial edict has arrived. Come and receive the edict!"
Wu Ling frowned and knelt down in the front yard, and Xue Pan hurriedly ran over!
Wang Yuan looked across the yard!
Chapter completed!
