The county governor's office and the side hall of the main meeting hall.
Luo Chuan stood by the brazier to warm himself up. The county captain sat upright and said, "General Zhao was no longer in Cangyan earlier." He stood up and walked to the brazier to warm up the fire with Luo Chuan across the brazier. His voice was lowered, "
The young master should have already known about the north-south relocation of our military in Li County. This move is really frightening. Our Cangyan Army was among the first to receive orders from the prefect and the Military Affairs Office. General Zhao immediately led
More than ten thousand elite troops rushed to the frontier army station in Ganyuan Basin. When our Cangyan Army arrived there, those in Ganyuan Army reluctantly began to organize their march south. They procrastinated and just watched the return from Ganyuan.
I feel angry just mentioning the information that came back, no wonder the governor said they are veteran soldiers."
"When I arrived at Cangyan, the vanguard of the Taiming Army had already arrived. Calculated, their departure time should be about the same as that of the Cangyan Army." Luo Chuan did not pay attention to the change in the title of County Captain.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Based on your estimate, how long will it take for the Cangyan Army and the Taiming Army to completely complete the handover of defense?"
The county captain shook his head and said, "The defense will not be handed over for a while. Cangyan is different from Ganyuan. The Xiguguan line is the Dading border line against Xiyi. This time the transfer order from the Military Affairs Office is just a transfer order.
Thirty thousand elite troops were transferred to defend Ganyuan. The western theater of Cangyan originally had a large army of fifty thousand men. If thirty thousand were transferred, the remaining twenty thousand men would have to work harder for a short period of time, but it would not cause any problems to the original defense.
The 30,000 Taiming Army troops heading north will be rotated after they have become familiar with the affairs of the western battlefield. This was all decided by General Zhao before he left. As for when the Taiming Army will be familiar with the battlefield and complete the rotation, it will be
It all depends on General Chen's ability in leading troops. After all, they marched all the way north and west from Taiming to Xigu Pass. According to their current progress, it is already a rush march. Based on his humble estimation, it will take at least ten more days.
It will take a while before people from the Taiming Army can walk up the city wall."
"In other words, there will still be General Zhao's 20,000... old troops on the western battlefield in the future?" Luo Chuan looked up at the county captain and asked.
"Yes," the county captain said with a serious face, "General Zhao originally had four generals under his command. This time when he was transferred to Ganyuan, General Zhao only took two with him. There are still two generals left to guard the western battlefield, including
General Zhao Qingxia, General Zhao Bi, who General Zhao relies on the most, leaned towards the brazier and said in a lower voice, "Of the original 30,000 Gan Yuan troops, 25,000 went south, and the remaining 5,000 will be captured."
General Zhao recruited 25,000 of the 30,000 soldiers from the original Shangyuan Army to go south. The general who led the 30,000 elite soldiers from Baitong Army to go north was exactly..." He looked at Luochuan and paused.
I focused on five words at once, "General Zhao Gui and Zhao Bi."
With Luo Chuan's current mental cultivation skills, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the emotions in his heart were even more stormy than can be described. He stared at the county captain in front of him, but his thoughts were so complicated that he couldn't understand them at all for a while.
The old coachman who had been sitting on the chair had also walked to the brazier, staring at the flames in the brazier with a serious face, "General Zhao should be in Ganyuan City now?"
"Probably not here," the county captain shook his head slightly and looked at the old coachman. "General Zhao personally led the vanguard army to Ganyuan when he passed by Cangyan City. He met with me and said that he would secretly return to Licheng.
, I shouldn’t be able to see the young master in a short time, so I asked the legion to keep passing on the latest news to me, and I..." He looked at Luochuan, "convey it to the young master!"
There was silence in the side hall. After a long time, Luo Chuan asked again, "General Zhao, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
The county captain nodded, "General Zhao said...Young Master can rest assured in Cangyan."
Luochuan pondered for a moment, then smiled and patted the majestic county captain on the shoulder, "Brother Sanjin, in a few days I will go west to Qingshui City and then to Xiguguan. What will happen next in Cangyan City?"
You should keep an eye on it, thank you for your hard work."
The county captain immediately knelt down on the ground and saluted, "Liu Sanjin will definitely live up to the trust of the young master!!"
Luo Chuan pulled him up again and encouraged him a few words.
After the county captain, whose face turned red as if he had drunk several kilograms of wine, had left the side hall for a long time, Luochuan finally woke up from his meditation. Like the old coachman, he stared at the flames in the brazier in front of him and murmured, "Uncle Jiang,
You once said that the Zhao family of Ganyuan is a surname in the military. Zhao Wuji, who is both civil and military, is a general in Cangyan, and his younger brother Zhao Qingxia is brave enough to win the three armies... This Zhao Gui?"
The old coachman frowned deeply, "Zhao Gui is the most outstanding person in the third generation of the Zhao family. He should be called uncle Zhao Wuji. He had been serving as a captain in the Baitong Army before. Unexpectedly, he was promoted to general and stationed in the north this time.
One place..."
"Three generals in one corps, guarding three theaters, Uncle Jiang..." Luo Chuan's eyes were complicated, "The governor who always seeks stability...is he crazy?"
The old coachman was speechless.
"Either he is crazy, or..." Luo Chuan sighed deeply, unwilling to delve deeper into his idea. He looked back at the thoughtful young woman and sat back down.
Sitting in his spacious chair, he asked, "Sister Fairy, before you go down the mountain, is there anything the Master has to tell me?"
The young female Taoist shook her head when she heard this.
Luochuan fell into deep thought again. He didn't know how long it had passed before he heard Siqi reminding him softly in his ear, "The county magistrate has arrived and is waiting outside the side hall."
"Okay, let him come in," Luo Chuan leaned on the chair to make himself as comfortable as possible, playing with the bronze mirror with both hands and looking towards the side hall door.
When the elegant middle-aged man walked in, he saw exactly the appearance of such a seemingly unruly young man. But for some reason, when he saw this young man again one day later, he felt that there was something about him.
Some changes have taken place, making him seem more elusive, "I have a humble position, Mu Zeyan, and I have met the county magistrate."
"Ze Yan doesn't have to be polite. We will have to deal with each other a lot in the future. You always come and go like this. How much time will be wasted?" Luo Chuan smiled and waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk, you and I.
When you get along, say it directly, do it after you say it, and spend your time on more worthwhile things."
The elegant middle-aged man nodded, sat on the chair opposite to the old coachman, raised a volume in his hand and said, "This is the preliminary file of the case that was heard overnight. Please take a look at it, the county magistrate."
Siqi took the file and handed it to Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan opened the file and saw that the first line of the opening book clearly read: "Cangyan treasurer Li Daoxing was corrupt and perverted the law. He enriched himself with hundreds of thousands of dollars. The evidence is conclusive. According to the law, he should be sentenced to death and his property confiscated."
, his children, wives and family were demoted to slaves...Cangyan's judicial officer Lin Su used his power for personal gain and protected criminals. According to the law, he was dismissed from office and his family property was confiscated..."
"The bone maggot Li Daoxing should be sentenced to death for breaking his bones and sucking out the marrow, but the black maggot Lin Su can only resign?" Luo Chuan frowned.
The elegant middle-aged man nodded, "Lin Su is quite cautious in his actions. He is not as greedy as the treasurer Li Daoxing, nor is he as arrogant and domineering as the agricultural officer Liu Mingzheng. He rarely leaves anyone behind. At the same time, he
I had probably received the news earlier that the county magistrate would take office in the future, and had already destroyed some possible physical and personal evidence. Yesterday, none of the servants of the Lin Mansion that I specifically asked the magistrate to arrest were not in Cangyan.
Either he had secretly returned to Licheng, or he simply slipped and fell into the water and died. It is difficult to convict him of death by simply acting according to the law..."
"What if..." Luo Chuan raised his head to look at the elegant middle-aged human being, "How about doing something else?"
