Chapter 975 Insider
"Sir, there are less than two thousand defenders in Haikang County. Give me half an hour and I will take down this city."
Hong Chengtao found Li Xun and requested to go to war.
Li Xun glanced at him and smiled and said, "General Hong is a little calmer. As the saying goes, we will defeat the enemy without fighting. We will not attack the city when we come here."
Hong Chengtao asked in confusion: "Then what are we doing?"
Li Xun smiled without explanation.
In the distance, Ji Shihai and Zhan Taishuo were coming on horseback.
"Secretary of Haikang County Magistrate Zhan Taishuo, pay a visit to Li Xiangguo."
"The governor of Leizhou Ji Shihai, pays homage to Li Xiangguo."
The two of them approached, turned over and dismounted, bowed and reported to their own house.
Li Xun said indifferently: "Please get up, two sirs."
The two stood up straight, Zhan Taishuo bowed and asked, "I don't know what the hell is going to be with the Prime Minister leading the army here?"
Li Xun said softly: "I heard of the rebellion in the Yao people here. I am afraid that you, Leizhou, will not have enough troops, so I lead the army to support you."
Ji Shihai sighed secretly in his heart, and it was indeed coming for Mou Xuan.
Zhan Taishuo said with a strange look on his face: "There was no rebellion in the Yao people. Where did the Prime Minister hear this news?"
Li Xun glanced at Zhan Taishuo, but did not speak, but looked at Ji Shihai and said in a low voice: "What do you think?"
Ji Shihai opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he could only say with a tough bullet and said, "There was no rebellion in the Yao people."
Li Xun said: "Why is the Leizhou military envoy Mou Xuan intends to murder Bi Xiangzu?"
Zhan Taishuo said: "Mr. Prime Minister, it is indeed his fault for Mou Xuan to detain Bi Xiangzu, but this may not have anything to do with rebellion."
Zhan Taishuo forced himself to say that although he was a young official, he also understood the principle that if he was reasonable, he could not do anything randomly.
Li Xun sneered: "Bi Xiangzu held my tent and the Prime Minister's Jade Seal. What does this mean? You should know in your heart. What is it that Mou Xuan dared to take action? It's not a rebellion?"
Zhan Taishuo frowned and had nothing to say for a moment. The tent represents the majesty of the emperor, and the jade seal of the prime minister represents the authority of the prime minister. In addition, Bi Xiangzu, as the deputy commander of Li Xundu's personal soldiers, was his confidant. So to a certain extent, he was above Ji Shihai, let alone Mou Xuan. Mou Xuan has now attacked Bi Xiangzu, and even arrested him and detained the tent and jade seal of the prime minister. So Li Xun said that Mou Xuan was a rebellion, and it was not completely unreasonable.
Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Li Xun gave an order to Hong Chengtao: "Take ten thousand people and surround Mou Xuan's military camp. If the other party dares to provoke, he will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, sir."
Hong Chengtao bowed his order and turned around to summon the army.
Zhan Taishuo's face changed and he said anxiously: "Sir, can you slow down? Give me an hour? No, just half an hour. I will give Bi Xiangzu to you."
Li Xun looked at Zhan Taishuo with a cold expression and said nothing, obviously rejecting his proposal.
Seeing Li Xun's indifferent attitude, Zhan Taishuo had to say to Ji Shihai on the side: "General Ji, you beg for mercy too. Once this war begins, I don't know how many people will die."
Ji Shihai smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhantai County Magistrate, do you think I didn't go to find Mou Xuan? I've looked for it, and I'm almost always begging him. But Mou Xuan is a bastard, arrogant and arrogant, and doesn't give me any face at all. In the end, I forced him to release him with the order of the governor, and he was not allowed to do so. In this way, what can I do?"
"He dares not even listen to your orders?"
Zhan Taishuo couldn't believe it.
"Mu Xuan is just a bastard. What's wrong with him?"
Ji Shihai shook his head and was forced by his subordinates and could not get through the orders. This was a very shameless thing, but this is the fact.
Zhan Taishuo could only sigh and said, "Master, can you not use force? The Yao people are quite honest over the years. Your army rushed over. Once conflicts broke out, the court worked hard for so long to stabilize the situation, and I am afraid it would be over."
Li Xun said indifferently: "Stability is not something that is so low. When it is time to be hard, you must be hard to the end, so that Mou Xuan can know what the meaning of duty is."
After saying that, Li Xun was about to leave when he rode a horse.
Zhan Taishuo stepped forward to block the way and said in a deep voice: "If the master insists on doing his own thing, then kill the villain first."
Li Xun said coldly: "You are a Han person."
Zhan Taishuo said loudly: "The Yao people are also people of the Jin Dynasty."
Li Xun looked at Zhan Taishuo in surprise. A small county magistrate dared to force himself. He was really brave. To be honest, Mou Xuan's life and death had nothing to do with him. Zhan Taishuo. He did this obviously to adhere to his principles. This was an upright official.
Ji Shihai naturally came out to smooth things over at this time and pulled Zhan Taishuo away. You are a small county magistrate, that's a big deal. If you anger Li Xun, you will die in vain if you kill you.
Unfortunately, Zhan Taishuo was very stubborn and stood there by leaving Ji Shihai behind.
Li Xun pondered for a moment, then said to Zhan Taishuo: "Zhan Taishuo, I came to Leizhou this time. Do you think I came for Mou Xuan?"
Zhan Taishuo said in confusion: "Mu Xuan seized Bi Xiangzu, and the lord came with the army. Isn't it just that he wants to deal with him?"
"Mu Xuan is a bullshit."
Li Xun glanced at Ji Shihai and said indifferently: "If we were defeated in the war in Jiayan City, Ji Shihai led people into the deep mountains, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out."
Li Xun's words immediately made Zhan Taishuo and Ji Shihai stunned.
The meaning of this sentence is amazing.
As a soldier, Ji Shihai was the first to react. He said in shock: "Is there any connection between Yao people and Shi Hu?"
At this time, Ji Shihai might have thought of something, his face turned pale, and the Yao people kept stopping them to their habitat to catch people. Both sides had been twisting for more than a year. It was just when the Lingnan War was at its most intense, and they actually agreed to their request and took the initiative to find them. They hadn't felt anything before, but now when thinking about Li Xun's words, Ji Shihai immediately had many speculations.
Li Xun asked back: "How many troops do the Yao people have?"
"The army commanded by Mou Xuan has a total of 3,000 people, all of whom are Yao people. This is the main military force of the Yao people. The dozens of tribes, Linlin has scattered together, with a maximum of 5,000 people."
Ji Shihai came to his senses and immediately replied that he was very familiar with the situation of the Yao people.
Li Xun sneered: "Five thousand people come? I tell you, at least twenty thousand."
Ji Shihai said in a lost voice: "How is this possible?"
"It's impossible, there will be an answer soon."
