Chapter 2264 Cooperation is very important


    "This is a place that has rotted to the extreme..." Jia Xu looked at Zhang Liao and others walking away with a smile on his face, "Everything is rotten from the skin to the bones... In a place like this, the more plasters are used, When you apply it, it becomes more and more rotten inside..."


    "I was born and raised here, and I want to make this land a better place every day, but..." Jia Xu chuckled a few times, "I just see it getting worse and worse. The worse it gets! Everyone is competing against each other! Whoever is worse can live better! 』


    "Well, there are some that are not rotten... but those that are not rotten are dragged by a bunch of rotten people, and then they either gradually become rotten, or they can no longer smell the rotten smell and become accustomed to it..." Jia Xu patted the battlements, patting hard, and his palms turned red, "It stinks up and down the Longyou, inside and outside!" Didn''t you smell it? ! 』


    ??The guards around Jia Xu could not help but be a little surprised. They exchanged glances with each other, somewhat uneasy, because they rarely saw Jia Xu being so emotional.


    ?There was only one young man standing beside Jia Xu, silent.


    I used to think that rot was passed down from above, so I once wanted to knock down all these rotten houses, these damaged walls, these worm-infested beams and columns! ” Jia Xu raised his head, stretched out his hand forward, as if pushing something, and then pushed it down, and then let out a sigh, “It’s a pity... I found that it’s useless... This kind of rot is simply It’s not passed down from above, they just wanted to die and then found an excuse..."


    "Just like your father..." Jia Xu turned his head and looked at Han Guo, "Your father is half a bad person... He originally wanted to be a good person, but in the end he was eroded and rotten... When your father also started to When he makes excuses for his own rottenness, he is already hopeless..."


    ?Han Guo was still silent, just like he had been all these years, silently listening and learning, like a weed in the cracks of the rocks, inconspicuous.


    Father''s debts are repaid by his sons. Sometimes this sentence seems a bit unreasonable, but sometimes it also makes sense. Not all debts can be eliminated, and not all debts can be superimposed infinitely. Although Han Sui can only be regarded as his adoptive father, his adoptive father is also his father. Now it is he who has to pay for his father''s sins. His father Han Sui promised on the altar that he would return a peaceful world to Longyou, but in the end, even Han Sui himself sank into it.


    This is Han Sui''s debt, and this is Han Guo''s career.


    Jia Xu looked at Han Guo''s calm eyes, and then laughed, "Well, that''s right... I thought you would be furious, or suppress your anger..."


    "First Yan..." Han Guo finally spoke, his voice hoarse, like sand and stone grinding together, completely inconsistent with his young appearance, "I have said something before, and I will change it..."


    Where did it come from? Jia Xu asked.


    "Guo..." Han Guo frowned slightly, suddenly feeling that his name seemed a bit inappropriate, "Please give me some advice..."


    Coming from a small place. Jia Xu said slowly, "The emperor has made mistakes, but if one person''s mistake is corrected appropriately, how many people will be harmed?" The officials have made mistakes, but if they have a pure and upright voice, they will restrain themselves to some extent. The officials have made mistakes, but if the discipline and law are strict, there will be less corruption. The common people have also made mistakes, if..."


    Jia Xu suddenly stopped and tilted his head, as if he had encountered some problem. He thought for a moment, "I have been there too. Back then, I devoted myself to overthrowing these things and never thought about how to build them... Now, I just want to change... stop! Correct all the mistakes you made back then! 』


    Han Guo bowed his head in obeisance, then straightened up, turned and walked down the city wall, slowly walked along the street, and entered the Jincheng Mansion Yamen Hall. He looked at the people sitting or standing in the hall. Young officials and subordinates, big and small, said in a deep voice, like gold and stone falling to the ground: "By order of the hussar!" 』


    Around the cloister and in the courtyard, everyone is either sitting or standing in silence. The only sound is the wind blowing through the roof and the sound of the tricolor flag...


    『Gentleman, be Hongyi! 』


    "Heaven and earth cannot be taken down, and the people cannot be bullied!" 』


    Since you are a gentleman, you must take good care of yourself and your original intention cannot be changed. To help the world, your original intention cannot be changed! 』


    『Our current investigation revealed that local officials in Longyou are corrupt, colluding with each other, shielding each other, and poisoning the place. There is a special order! 』


    Completely inspect the warehouse, check the accounts, write off and verify, and recover the dirty money! Anyone who, within ten years, corrupts the court and taxes, usurps people''s land, and fishes and eats the countryside will be investigated! 』


    『Those who pay more money will be reduced, and those who stubbornly resist will be beheaded! 』


    “If you accept bribes, have personal relationships, tamper with accounts, or cover up collaborators, you will be charged with knowing the law and breaking the law, and your crime will be punished with three additional grades! In special periods, all military laws are enforced. If there is chaos in the army, the corps commander will protect his subordinates. If the commander fails to check, the commander will be beheaded. If the commander shields the corps commander, and the team leader is not checked, the team leader will be killed! If there is chaos in the team, and the military leader does not investigate, he will be beheaded! If there is a rebellion among the military princes, I will personally kill them, then raise their heads in front of the hussars and kill themselves in thanks! 』


    『Everyone, please be careful and encourage me! 』


    A large number of heads lowered their heads, and the overall voice became louder: "Wei! I obey the orders of the hussar! 』


    Everyone has it! Set off! 』


    …(`Д*)9…


    Master! Head of the house! 』


    ??In the yamen of Wei Duan Mansion in Chang''an, a steward was sweating profusely. He held up the hem of his robe in front of him with one hand and hurried forward.


    Why are you panicking? ” Wei Duan frowned slightly.


    “The head of the family…” The steward swallowed, then moved closer and whispered, “The people from Longyou…said, said it was…”


    Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, then stood up in a flash, "Is this serious? 』


    After saying the words, Wei Duan also knew that asking was in vain, it was just a subconscious behavior because he was too anxious, so Wei Duan immediately added, "Where is the person?" 』


    “It’s in the front yard. Will the owner go there now?” ” asked the steward.


    Wei Duan took a step forward, but stopped, then stood, frowning and thinking, "Blow him out!" 』


    "ah? ! ” The steward was stunned.


    …"And then take it to the house at the corner of the back alley..." Wei Duan retracted his step, "Remember!" I have never seen this person! 』


    "Understood! The little one understands! ” The steward nodded and turned around.


    『Hussar...what is this going to do? ” Wei Duan walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.


    I thought General Fei Qian went north to Yinshan, and Guanzhong could at least calm down for a while. But what I didn''t expect was that there was really nothing big going on in Guanzhong, and then something big happened in Longyou. Looking at this situation, it seemed that he was going to turn Longyou upside down. generally. But the question is, what should I do in this matter?


    Wei Duan suddenly thought of Du Ji, and then suddenly realized that when Du Ji took office as the magistrate of Lantian County, Wei Duan thought that Du Ji was overqualified and even a little condescending, but now that he thought about it, Du Ji seemed to be the real one. The great wisdom is far away from the hustle and bustle...


    Could it be that Du Ji had foreseen this matter at that time?


    Come here! Wei Duan suddenly trembled and said, "Listen up!" From now on, I will live in a government house. Anyone who comes to me will say that I am not at home! In addition, starting from today, the door is closed tightly, and no one in the house is allowed to go out except to buy necessary things! 』


    Do you understand? ” Wei Duan said hurriedly, “Prepare the car... wait, prepare the horse, I will go to the official house now... remember, anyone who wants to look for me will tell me that I am not here! 』


    …щ(Дщ)…


    Longxi, Longyou!


    The relationship between Guanzhong, Longxi and Longyou is really too close. It''s like the outside and the inside, like light and darkness.


    Since the Qin Dynasty, it has been almost like this.


    ? Guanzhong, Xianyang and Chang''an are extremely glorious and admired by the world. Who has paid attention to what Longyou has done in this process? The bright and beautiful ones are all in Chang''an, and the dark and obscure ones are of course located in Longxi and Longyou. These are interdependent in themselves, so much so that by the Tang Dynasty, they were simply combined together and called the Guanlong Group.


    This question is actually very simple. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, the Western Qiang wars continued. Especially during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, major Western Qiang rebellions broke out several times, costing tens of billions of military resources. There were no fewer than dozens of generals in charge of the plan. Could it be that they were all so incompetent that they couldn''t solve the problem?


    Is suppressing the Xiqiang really so troublesome?


    Why was it so easy to suppress the Yellow Turban Army?


    Some people may say that it is due to geography, because Longyou is wider than Jizhou and Yuzhou, but in fact it is not. Those vast areas are not suitable for settlement, and they are also not suitable for large army gatherings. Therefore, if you control the key points, you will also control it. Face, that''s why Jincheng is so important, and it will be stable only when it is stable.


    So region is never the most important reason. There is always only one important reason.


    The human heart.


    What benefits will it bring to Shanxi people if they cede the Western Region and Longxi?


    No.


    Not at all.


    It is only beneficial to Shandong people.


    ??Want to lead a group of Shanxi people to defeat the Shanxi people on their territory? Isn''t it just like Yingjiang leading a group of monkeys to beat monkeys on their territory? Who will win in the end?


    So the Han Dynasty became weaker and weaker as they fought, while Longyou became more and more chaotic.


    Obviously, what Hussar meant now was that this mess should end. But these big households in Longyou are already accustomed to eating meat, so how can they change to eating grass? After all, not everyone can learn the skills of the iron-eating beast...


    『This time, the hussars really took action...』


    A group of people were silent in the shadows.


    ‘That’s my fort! mine! Damn it, **** it! ” Zeng Dahu patted the table, “We must let the **** hussars know how powerful we are...”


    "It''s not us, it''s just you..." A voice came out from among the seats.


    『Asshole! who? Stand up! Zeng Dahu said angrily, "I''m the only one now, right?" I only have one question for you here! Do the blood oaths and fingerprints sworn by the alliance still count? ! What''s different this time? What''s there to be afraid of? The last time it was the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty! Aren''t you being treated like a fool by us? 』


    “Oh, you all came out one by one when we were dividing the money, and now you all want to hide away? Where can I hide? 』


    『This time the Hussar is going to attack the entire Longyou! The whole thing! 』


    『The more you hide, the more the hussar will like you! 』


    『At that time, you will all be arrested one by one, and then your homes will be confiscated one by one, and your clan will be exterminated! 』


    Zeng Dahu almost stood up in anger and slapped the table, "When you were unwilling to come forward, I came forward, but you were not willing to take over this mess. I took over. Many Qiang tribesmen came down one by one because of me." Yes, what''s wrong? Now that you think something is wrong, you want to kick me out? 』


    When Zeng Dahu got angry, no one said anything and everyone looked at him quietly. It wasn''t until he finished speaking that someone suddenly sneered and said, "You stood up in the first place because you could get more..."


    『How much benefit have you pocketed in the past few years, and you pretended that no one knew about it? 』


    『After all, he is General Zhongyi...How nice it sounds, Zeng Zhongyi...』


    ?As soon as this sentence was spoken, it immediately aroused the sneer of many people.


    But the laughter did not last long. Zeng Dahu kicked the table over with a "boom", stood up, and shouted loudly: "It''s not your turn to judge whether I am loyal or unfaithful!" What things have you done yourself that you don’t need me to tell you in public? Let me tell you happily, if you want to get something done today, don’t blame me for being rude! 』


    The worst I can do is to withdraw all the money I have acquired over the years! After all, I still have the title of loyal general! What about you? Um? When the time comes, each of you will be uprooted by the Cavalry General, and not even a hair will be left! 』


    …


    In the hall, it was quiet for a moment at first, and then it immediately became like boiling rice porridge. Not only did it gurgling, but it also splashed everywhere!


    『So, you have been planning to threaten us for a long time? 』


    ?Amid the angry shouts and curses, a cold and calm voice became more prominent, and after this voice came out, others gradually stopped and turned their heads to look.


    "Beigong..." Zeng Dahu''s eyes were cold, "You still want to go against me?" 』


    tonight ” Beigong sneered and said, “To be honest, it’s you who are against us...”


    Bei Gong didn’t even raise his eyelids, as if he didn’t care about Zeng Dahu at all, “Why do you need so much money? Originally, things had calmed down slowly, and in a few years they would have forgotten what happened back then... As a result, some people just couldn''t control their greed and still wanted to make money..."


    The noise around him became quiet when Beigong opened his mouth to speak.


    Many people looked at Zeng Dahu with sneers.


    Yes, we all swore an oath together, drank blood wine, and became brothers together back then, but what about these few years?


    ??Your once rich family used your **** money to buy a loyal general, but what about your former "brothers"? When making money, it''s none of our business, but if something goes wrong, we all have to shoulder it together. Are there such "brothers"?


    In the midst of the scolding, Zeng Dahu sneered a few times, "Well, since everyone is embarrassed, there is nothing to say!" 』


    "You...don''t think that I haven''t prepared anything," Zeng Dahu sneered, "I just came to summon you for a discussion?" I have already sent people to Chang''an. If anything happens to me... I have kept your accounts all these years! 』


    Zeng Dahu gritted his teeth and emphasized his tone, "I am making money, haha. Without the cooperation of you guys, how can I make money?" Even...without the bluff of your Qiang people in Beigong, how could there be such a big stall today? 』


    Zeng Dahu stared and sneered, "And you...you...and you...do you guys get less benefits than me?" 』


    …


    Suddenly, many people’s faces began to become increasingly angry and distorted. Everyone who was called out by Zeng Dahu looked like they were about to start a fight, but when they saw that others were silent, they held back.


    『I am standing out from behind, the wind and rain hit me on the face, I said nothing! ? Zeng Dahu looked around, "What happened to General Zhongyi?" That''s what I deserve! Without me covering up from the front, would it be so smooth for you one by one to reap the benefits at a low level? It''s better now. You all pretend that nothing is the same and want to put me aside. Then you are all good people? Will Hussar let you go? You are so naive! 』


    ‘Do you know what the hussars did? Do you know what happened after my fort was breached? Zeng Dahu said aggressively, "You don''t know anything!" But he doesn’t know anything and still dares to talk back to me here and still wants to get away with it! You are all a bunch of idiots! Including you! Beigong! 』


    Bei Gong subconsciously wanted to slam the table, but held back, "Tell me...what happened after Wubao was destroyed?" 』


    ?Zeng Dahu stepped on the desk he had overturned, "Oh?" Are you scared now? You were all so arrogant just now, why don''t you jump up now? ah? 』


    ‘Stop talking nonsense! If you really didn’t want to say it, you wouldn’t ask us to come! ” Beigong said coldly, “Stop playing tricks, be real! 』


    "snort! ”Zeng Dahu snorted, “Breaking Wubao...it’s not a big deal...you’re laughing your **** off!” My heart aches, but I also know that some losses must be paid for! But this time it’s really different...it’s really different..."


    Zeng Dahu''s voice gradually dropped, even trembling a little, "What was it like before?" It doesn''t matter if they robbed our fort. They are all in the army anyway. The money and utensils can''t be eaten, so they are at most some losses. When we defeat them, they will be ours again...right? But this time...it''s really different...they distributed all the things and money to those poor people..."


    “Haha...” someone laughed, “Isn’t that better? When the time comes, wouldn''t it be easier to **** it from the hands of the poor than to **** it from the hussars? Haha...uh, heh..."


    It is somewhat embarrassing when you are the only one who laughs and no one else laughs.


    Idiot! ” Beigong snorted unceremoniously, and then stared at Zeng Dahu, “After all, how can we cooperate? 』
