"Let them in."
Just when Chang Sui couldn't hold on any longer, Xing Youwei's voice came from the room.
Naturally, several cavalrymen from the Liaodong Army also heard his voice.
The leading cavalryman stretched out his hand to pull away the long guard who was blocking the front, and walked towards the room in front with his two companions.
"Wait a minute, hand over all your weapons. You can't go in with your weapons." Chang Sui stopped in front of these people again.
The leading cavalryman looked at the commander and said: "No one can make us hand over our weapons, no one can."
After saying that, he ignored Chang Zui and walked straight into the room in front of him.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes narrowed.
In addition to a half-century-old man sitting in the main seat in the room, there were also several soldiers holding sharp swords standing in the room.
"Little Jiang Kui, I have seen Du Xian." The leading cavalryman and his two companions lifted up their hems, knelt on the ground, and saluted Xing Youwei, who was sitting on the main seat, with fists in his hands.
Xing Youwei held the cup lid between his two fingers and moved the tea in the cup, and asked in a calm tone: "Who sent you here?"
Because these cavalrymen were being unreasonable in the yard, he did not rush to let them get up, but let them kneel on the ground to answer.
"On the orders of General Jiang, I have sent you a letter." Jiang Kui took out a letter from his arms and raised his hands above his head.
The long follower who followed them into the house came over and took the letter from his hand. He turned back to Xing Youwei and handed the letter over.
Xing Youwei took the letter, took out the letter paper, opened it, held it in front of his eyes and read it.
He finished reading the content quickly and threw it on the table next to him.
He looked at the people kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Go back and tell Jiang Yingzhao that I am the commander-in-chief of the army personally appointed by the imperial court. If he doesn't want me to invite the Shang Fang Sword given by the emperor, then I will Come to Juyongguan honestly and listen, otherwise I won’t mind beheading him with Shang Fang’s sword.”
"I've taken note of it," Jiang Kui replied.
Xing Youwei picked up the tureen in his hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip of the tea inside.
The Chang Sui next to him took two steps forward, looked down at Jiang Kui and others, and said, "Please, please!"
He raised his hand and made a leaving gesture towards the door.
"My farewell." Jiang Kui saluted Xing Youwei again, then stood up and left the room with his two companions kneeling beside him.
The commander sent a group of people outside to the street, watched Jiang Kui and others leave on horseback, and then returned to the room where Xing Youwei was.
"Master, everyone is gone." Changsui came to Xing Youwei to report.
Xing Youwei nodded slightly and said, "Let them all go down!"
"You all go down!" Changsui waved to the soldiers guarding the room, signaling them to leave.
Several soldiers retreated from the room one after another.
Xing Youwei said to the chief attendant on the side: "Send someone to the Yanqing Guards, find the commander Wei Cheng, and tell him that I want to see him and ask him to rush over immediately."
"I'll make arrangements now, little one." Chang Sui turned and left. valley
When Jiang Kui came out of Xing Youwei's mansion, he was not in a hurry to leave Juyongguan, but found a place to rest.
The war horses were fed with fine food and tied to the side to rest.
"This governor is so stingy that he just kicked us out without even caring about our meal." The cavalryman named Lao Qin bit into the hard pancake and took a sip of water from the water bag from time to time.
Jiang Kui said: "It seems that this governor is also a person with upright ideas and does not agree with the methods proposed by our general and General Mangui."
"What a civil servant knows nothing. Our general defeated an army of 130,000 slave thieves in Liaodong. Such an empty-minded governor wants to ride on our general. There is really no one in the court." Lao Qin curled his lips and looked down upon him very much. Xing Youwei, the governor of Xuanda, has no real power.
Jiang Kui said: "You can't say that. After all, this man is the commander-in-chief of the army appointed by the imperial court. Our soldiers and horses from Liaodong must be under his command. Moreover, this man also holds the Shangfang sword given by the emperor. It’s not easy for a general to openly disobey orders.”
"It would be great if Governor Yuan could be our coach. Brothers are all convinced." Lao Qin said with emotion.
Yuan Chonghuan led the army to defend Ningyuan City and defeated the slave bandit army in Ningyuan City. His momentum was unparalleled in the army. Even Gao Di, the Ji Liao manager, was far inferior to him in the hearts of Liaodong soldiers and people.
Jiang Kui said: "Governor Yuan has come to Xuanda. What will happen to Liaodong? We can't split Governor Yuan in half and leave half on each side! Eat quickly, and hurry up after eating. Between the two generals and the Governor This matter is not something that people like you and me can get involved in."
A few people stopped talking and picked up the pancakes in their hands with all their strength.
On the other side, the people sent to Yanqing Guard had not yet left. Wei Cheng, the commander of Yanqing Guard, had already led people outside Xing Youwei's mansion.
"Is Du Xian in there?" Wei Cheng asked eagerly when he saw Xing Youwei's attendant in the yard.
When the commander saw it was Wei Cheng, he hurriedly came up to him and said, "I was about to send someone to ask for you, Guanjun, but I didn't expect you to arrive first. Please come inside, the master is already waiting for you."
Wei Cheng dropped his attendant and walked quickly towards the front room.
Chang Sui followed closely and accompanied the other party into the room.
"I've seen Du Xian." Wei Cheng saluted with fists in front of Xing Youwei.
Xing Youwei pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down! Show tea to Commander Wei."
"Thank you, Duxian." Wei Cheng walked to the empty seat and sat down.
The servant brought the freshly brewed hot tea to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng said at this time: "I heard that Du Xian wants to see the general. I wonder if Du Xian has anything to explain?"
"Have the troops of Yanqing Guard gathered together? Today is already the third day." Xing Youwei opened his mouth and asked.
Wei Cheng lowered his head and said, "Please give Governor Xian a few more days of grace."
Even the Yanqing Guard Company's several thousand-household units below could not muster 15,000 soldiers and horses. Unless they used ordinary military households to make up the number, they could barely make up the number of heads.
However, the army is going out of Juyongguan to encircle and suppress the traitors in Xuanda territory. Those military households who only know how to farm and have not undergone any training are of no use on the battlefield, and may even hinder the army on the battlefield.
Of course, if there is no other way, we can only use this method to gather the number of people first.
"You should know that I, the governor, am the governor of Xuanda. I can't control them. Of course, you can't control them either." Xing Youwei picked up the bowl, brought it to his mouth and blew in the hot air inside.
In the past year, he has been treated coldly in Juyongguan. Counting this time, it was only the second time he saw the commander of the Yanqing Guard, and it was the first time for him to see several other Qianhu Stations. myself.
When he first came to Juyongguan, even if he had the status of governor, no one from the several thousand households under the Yanqing Guard had ever visited him. Even the commander of the Yanqing Guard only showed up when he first arrived. Once seen, never seen again.
