When Yang Anguo walked into the room where the files were stored in the household, he could not help but stand in awe when he saw Chen Ping and a group of junior officials whom he had promoted and trusted with their heads buried in books.
After all, it is the person who has won all the way to the capital and won the title of Huiyuan. His ability, temperament, and conduct are not comparable to ordinary people. Even among the scholars, this quality of not forgetting the original intention is also rare.<
/p>
At this moment, Yang Anguo even felt that if Ye Wenchang knew Chen Ping's current situation, he would die without regrets.
A person like Chen Ping, as long as nothing unexpected happens, will definitely be able to rank high in the court in the future, and it is not impossible for him to even become a prime minister.
Yang Anguo stopped for a few seconds and then went back to the study to drink tea. He was still not sure whether the thieves had colluded with the natives.
Who makes this matter too important? If you are not careful, it will go straight to heaven. You must be cautious.
The world passed quickly. In the evening, Chen Ping walked out of the room where the files were stored. He even felt a little dizzy when he caught a glimpse of the afterglow.
"Master Yang, I have a general understanding of the situation of the native people in Lingzhou. This is a summary. Take a look."
Chen Ping handed Yang Anguo the important information he had extracted, and then sat upright with a serious look on his face.
It's already chaotic enough with Pixiu alone. If the natives get involved, you don't have to think twice to know how difficult things will get.
When the time comes, it’s not a big deal that I’ve made this trip in vain, but it’s a big deal because the incident in Lingzhou triggered a butterfly effect and caused turmoil in other states!
After reading Chen Ping's compilation, Yang Anguo's expression darkened. Before he came to Lingzhou to take up the post, he had heard about the toughness and arrogance of the natives in this place, but nothing similar had happened during his several years in office.
Yang Anguo originally thought that he would not be so unlucky, so he didn't take it to heart, but now he was caught by surprise.
"Sir, it has been four years since the last time the natives rebelled. Now that my country's treasury is empty and the palace is unstable, and there are thieves sowing discord, I speculate that the natives' rebellion is imminent, and it has something to do with the previous plundering.
Different, it is very likely that the intention is to capture the city and separate one side!"
Chen Ping is not being alarmist. This is all based on his analysis based on information from all parties. He now understands one of the main reasons why Pixiu came to Lingzhou.
They just came here for the Lingzhou natives!
Yang Anguo nodded silently, agreeing with Chen Ping's point of view. He couldn't help but said sadly: "However, there are not many soldiers and horses in Lingzhou. Counting inside and outside, there are only a few thousand people."
"Even if we now know that the natives are going to cause rebellion, the most we can do is make some preparations in advance. Then we still need to report to the court and request assistance from neighboring states."
His meaning is very clear. With Lingzhou's current strength, it is impossible to suppress this matter within Lingzhou's territory, and once the request for assistance comes, it will not be their decision.
The trouble is in Lingzhou. Even if Lingzhou is quelled by rebellion in the future, it will definitely be riddled with holes.
Unlike Yang Anguo who was worried that he would not die well, Chen Ping was worried about another problem.
"I'm afraid that when reinforcements from all states arrive in Lingzhou, the emptiness in the interior will give the thieves an opportunity..."
Chen Ping murmured to himself, and Yang Anguo couldn't help but feel chilled when he heard this. If it was true as Chen Ping said, wouldn't this native become an attention-grabbing target?
Should this native be suppressed or not?
...
On the way back to Congxing Mansion from Liehong County, Tang Hao never felt at peace. Just kidding, anyone who has seen those things will be uneasy!
"Palace Master Zhao, Brother Nangong, Lingzhou may not be at peace. Soldiers may be in trouble. As the magistrate of Lingzhou, I, Tang Hao, have the responsibility to defend the territory. There is no need for you to stay in this dangerous place."
Tang Hao rode on the horse and said to Zhao Jin and Nangong Ming who were walking beside him.
Now things have exceeded his expectations. If it were to investigate that organization, Chen Ping could still play a role in Lingzhou, but now the situation in Lingzhou has changed from pursuing a smuggling case to an upcoming military disaster. p>
It no longer makes much sense for Chen Ping to stay in Lingzhou. Instead, he is likely to be trapped in a dangerous situation and unable to extricate himself. Tang Hao does not want Chen Huiyuan, who has outstanding ability and righteousness, to die in Lingzhou in vain.
"Chen Ping should have more important things to do, so leave Lingzhou to me and Mr. Yang."
Hearing what Tang Hao said, Zhao Jin glanced at Nangong Ming and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, has he forgotten Chen Ping's temperament? If he was the kind of person who gives up in spite of difficulties, he would not come to Lingzhou."<
/p>
"Chen Ping..." Tang Hao was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face.
Hundreds of sergeants escorted dozens of large vehicles all the way back to Congxing Mansion. After placing these vehicles in the military camp outside the city, the group entered the city and went to the Yamen.
When Tang Hao, Zhao Jin and others bumped into Chen Ping and Yang Anguo, both groups looked worried and worried.
"I have a..."
"The situation in Lingzhou..."
Tang Hao was surprised and raised his hand to signal Chen Ping to speak first, and then he heard an introduction about the natives of Lingzhou.
After listening to Chen Ping's words, Tang Hao turned his head and looked at Zhao Jinnan Gongming, and said in amusement: "It seems that we are not the only ones who found something wrong!"
Zhao Jin licked his lips. His experience in the Northwest Army made him excited about what might happen next. He wanted to see whether the Hulu from the Northwest were more powerful, or the natives from Lingzhou who were more vicious.<
/p>
Nangong Mingze poured tea and drank tea alone like Fudo Mingwang, looking calm.
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Tang, are there any new discoveries?"
"That's right, it's exactly as you guessed. We blocked a caravan from Daozhou and wiped them out after a bloody battle. We found a large amount of salt and iron cloth in their car, and..." "And the Japanese knives produced in Japan."
This sentence was added by Nangong Ming, and Tang Hao nodded and continued: "The few people caught alive do not know important information, but these goods are obviously abnormal."
"Although Lingzhou is not rich, there is still no shortage of these goods. It is difficult to transport so much salt, iron and cloth to Lingzhou. Only those in the southwest can eat it in a short time and have such demand.
It’s toast.”
After Tang Hao finished speaking, there was silence in the lobby. Yang Anguo sighed and said with emotion: "Before, there were Northern invaders invading the border, and now there are natives making trouble. It's such a troubled year!"
"When the natives rebelled a few years ago, I praised Shang's strong national power for quickly subduing them. In the current situation, what should we do if there is another chaos in Lingzhou?"
At this point, Yang Anguo waved to Chen Ping and said: "Lingzhou will soon become a battlefield. By then, swords without eyes will not be a place where they can stay for a long time. You should prepare to set off now and rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
Chen Ping frowned, "Mr. Yang, there is still room for action in Lingzhou, why are you making such threatening remarks?"
"Young man, I have a plan. Although there are risks, I have to give it a try."
Now that the situation in Lingzhou is on the edge of the cliff, how can he leave? Not to mention Pixiu's appearance again, this opportunity is rare. Even if it is to help Tang Hao and Yang Anguo, Chen Ping has no reason to leave. p>
"You're confused! How can you be put in danger? Master Tang and I are responsible for governing Lingzhou. Why are you trying to be a hero?"
"Master Yang, let's listen to his plan. This man has his own opinions. It's not you or I who can persuade him."
Yang Anguo was a little angry and felt puzzled by Chen Ping's stubbornness, but Tang Hao was not the same. He knew that Chen Ping was different from ordinary scholars, so he let Chen Ping continue speaking based on the idea of making a good use of dates.
Chen Ping raised his hand in thanks and continued: "I looked through the local chronicles and found that the natives of Lingzhou were not as barbaric and ignorant as the rumors said. On the contrary, their leader, the chieftain, was very shrewd."
"Every time the natives rebelled, they asked for nothing more than salt, iron, cloth, silk, and money. After the chaos, they always quickly expressed their submission to the court. Most of the goods that the thieves brought into Lingzhou were of this kind. This proves that they are also
To lure them with benefits may not be because the natives are bent on causing trouble."
During Chen Ping's discussion, Yang Anguo clenched his jaw and groaned, Tang Hao's expression moved slightly, and Zhao Jin was focused on it. Even Nangong Mingye turned his head.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Ping, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Chen Ping took a deep breath and paused for a moment, his eyes shining brightly.
"I'm thinking, maybe we can treat the other person with the same kind of treatment, persuade the chieftain not to cause trouble, or even work with the government to arrest the thieves?"
