It was almost dark when Han You entered the palace. When he arrived at Jingzhi Hall, it was the first time he saw Lao Ba looking so anxious.
"You came."
Boss Zhou quickly stood up and hurried over to greet him. Before he arrived, he already explained the situation in a few words.
"The Changyuan Mountain in the lower county collapsed, and four thousand of my people were trapped in it. In the winter, the weather is freezing and there is little food and drink. You immediately took the tiger charm and went to Changyuan to mobilize Zhechong Mansion and garrison troops. There should be no delay. Dig up the mountain for me and break it open, save them, save my people of Zhou Ke!"
"When I entered the palace, there was a soldier with a flag on his back at the door. Does he know the specific situation?"
Wen Wu directly intervened and said: "I know."
"Where is the Tiger Talisman?"
Wenwu quickly took out the tiger and looked at the emperor.
Han You directly grabbed the tiger talisman and looked at the emperor: "Find someone to chase the army and wait for me at the south gate in two quarters of an hour. The army understands the situation. I just ask him. I will leave without further delay. You can safely stay in the palace and wait for news from me."
After saying this, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Han You put the tiger talisman into his arms and hurried out of the palace.
Until Han You's back disappeared completely, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, his face no longer looked as anxious as before, and he murmured.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your news."
Wenwu glanced at the emperor's face: "Colonel Han, it seems that he has never rescued disasters. He..."
"Is he hesitant?"
Wen Wu shook his head: "No."
"Is he the one who made his face swollen and pretended to be fat?"
Wenwu thought for a while and still shook his head: "No."
"That's it. Even if he can't rescue the disaster, I don't blame him, because he didn't hesitate, only anxious, as anxious as I am."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Wen Wu was full of emotions. It was no accident that Han You could reach this point. There was luck, but not too much.
When there is nothing to do, he is always doing nothing, no matter how big or small.
When something goes wrong, he is always the one who makes people feel most at ease.
Before Han You entered the palace, the emperor had already summoned many ministers, including the doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Yuanwai Lang from the Ministry of Rites, and the supervisor from the Ministry of Works.
After these ministers came in, they saluted, asked questions, and then talked nonsense, wasting time.
The person from the Ministry of Household Affairs is saying, "How many days will it take to adjust the money and food again?" I can't give you an accurate number. How many days can it be at the fastest and how many days can it be at the slowest? Well, you ask me when I can finish raising money. Where can I go? , didn’t I say, what are the fastest days and the slowest days, who can guarantee...
From the Ministry of Etiquette, Chi Chi Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, oh my, I am exhausted, why is the mountain collapsing? Was it a warning from God? You haven’t done anything immoral recently, have you?
From the Ministry of Works, it's so cold that it's hard to walk. Your Majesty, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet. Let's take a long-term plan and take our time. Why are you in a hurry again? Didn't I say you're in a hurry?
Only Han You, only Han You, was more anxious than the Emperor. He was not willing to listen to the Emperor's explanation of what was going on. He directly wanted to take away the people who knew the situation. He asked questions slowly on the way, without giving any courtesy, and set off immediately. He didn't even ask what to do, nor said what he would do, he just left, in a hurry.
In fact, this matter is a hot potato. The matter has already been solved. No matter who goes, it is to reduce losses.
It's like chasing stolen money. You lost 10,000 yuan. The difference is that you get back more or less, instead of "making money". If you make more or less, you still make money. It's all credit. Chasing for stolen money is just trying to make up for it. This move is thankless and has little to do with merit, because the loss is doomed.
Disaster relief rarely involves meritorious service. A lot of people died, and then the emperor praised the people who saved them. It would be outrageous, unless they could save them all, but it was impossible.
In addition, this tiger talisman is not easily given.
If the mountain collapses, we must rescue people through the mountain.
To rescue people, transferring people from the capital will take a lot of time. We can only mobilize young and strong civilians from the surrounding Zhechong Mansion and Tunbingwei.
But if you mobilize troops from Xia County, you need to give the tiger talisman to someone.
There were many civil and military officials in the dynasty who could make Lao Ba feel confident in handing over the Tiger Talisman, and who could also make Lao Ba feel that they were very capable. They could be counted on one hand, and without thinking, they immediately thought of Han You.
In fact, only the emperor's own army can bypass the cumbersome procedures and directly use the tiger charm to mobilize troops.
Han You ran all the way out of the palace and said as he mounted his horse: "Dachuan'er, please go back to the villa immediately and tell Beimen Yuyong that I am going to Changyuan County. Leave the villa to him. Don't write too much, and then go look for the fish elephant. Take thirty Southern troops and twenty miscellaneous military battalion auxiliaries, go with you and Ji Ying to the south of the city, chase me along the official road, all on horseback, don't waste time."
Lu Baichuan never talked nonsense at critical moments, nor did he say "yes" or "wei". He even farted, mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Ah Zhui, things like collapsing mountains are just like geography, do you understand?"
"I understand, but I don't know as much as my junior brother. Shaoyin, you go first and go to the south gate. Don't go too fast alone. I will go to the Imperial College immediately to look for my junior brother and meet you at the south gate."
"good."
"Be careful, there are many people trying to hit you recently."
Han You rolled his eyes: "Go quickly!"
Just as Jiang Zhui was about to mount his horse, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He took out his badge and looked at the two guards guarding the door: "You guys, follow my captain to escort you all the way to the south gate!"
The two guards were dumbfounded, and the person on the left said: "Then who is watching..."
"Substitute, quick."
After finishing speaking, Jiang caught up with his horse and left.
Han You smiled knowingly. This was why he relied on Dachuan'er and Jiang Zhui. You could call them Der, but you couldn't say they were unreliable. They were only Der when they should be Der.
One of the two guards watched the door, and the other ran back to find someone to change the shift and lead the horse.
The emperor's personal army can indeed mobilize the palace guards at certain specific moments. This shows that Jiang Zhui, the temporary commander, is not unlearned and incompetent.
Han You was anxious and worried, but he couldn't be confused. After getting on his horse, he went straight to Jingzhao Mansion.
Changyuan is the lower county of Jingcheng. The mountains, rivers, geography, customs and customs are all recorded in Jingzhao Prefecture.
All the way to Jingzhao Mansion, I happened to meet my father Han Bairen on his way out, and Wang Shan was carrying a wine flask and preparing to go back to the house to drink a few cups.
Han Bairen was surprised at first when he saw the big boy, and then he was angry when he saw two guards with strange faces following him.
"Where did Wang Hai go?"
"Wang Hai has other things to do in the villa. It's important. The child has given instructions."
Han You quickly dismounted: "Dad, something happened in Changyuan, and I have to go there."
"Changyuan?" The father frowned fiercely: "What happened? Are you going now? It's night, and the journey is so long, how can you bring two palace guards with you?"
"It happened suddenly. We have sent people to inform Fu Yuxiang. He will take people to meet me in the south of the city."
Han You didn't know much about the situation. He gave a rough summary. It was just a collapse of the mountain and the people were trapped. He took the tiger charm to dig the mountain.
"I see."
Han You didn't need to speak, Han Bairen looked at Wang Shan: "Changyuan is under the jurisdiction of Xun County. There is a Zhechong Mansion, two garrison stations, and a garrison camp. Do you know anyone familiar with it?"
"You don't have a humble position, but Xiaohai does."
"Who is Wang Hai familiar with?"
"The general of the Changyuan garrison, Xiao Hai slept with his mother-in-law."
Han Bairen nodded: "The relationship between the two is irreversible. We should take Wang Hai with us."
Han You: "..."
Wang Shan opened his mouth, feeling that Lao Han might not quite understand what he meant.
Han You was speechless. Fortunately, he wasn't ready to take Wang Hai with him.
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and get the map?"
Lao Han shouted, and Wang Shan ran back in a hurry.
It was obvious that he was just going down to the county, less than 200 miles away, but Han Bairen gave countless instructions and instructions. The people were important, but no matter how important they were, they were not as important as his great son. He told him again and again not to take risks, and not to It is better not to take risks with your own life.
In Lao Han's eyes, Han You may be a child who will never grow up.
In dad's eyes, children will always be worried no matter how many times they go away.
Han You listened with a smile, responded patiently, and kept comforting.
After Wang Shan took out the map, he also took a clerk with him to Changyuan, Mining County, and gave a general explanation of the situation, geographical location, etc.
After hearing this, Han You asked the guards to go back and continue guarding the door. Han Bairen asked Wang Shan to escort Han You out. Lao Han did not do so. He went to the Works Department to scold him, and the Work Department immediately sent people to help.
After the father and son bowed, they parted ways. Han You took Wang Shan straight to the south of the city and left the city.
This is what the emperor's personal army should do, and it is what the emperor's personal army should do, and receive orders in times of danger.
Whether he is a captain or a commander, a qualified soldier of the emperor will be the first to think of the emperor when something goes wrong.
Before this, Han You could not be called a qualified emperor's personal soldier. It was not that he made mistakes, but that he failed to "perform".
He cannot be called a qualified minister. The duty of a minister is to feed the emperor and share his worries, but he can only perform in one circle. This circle is the government office, his job, and the court, and he should not be in charge of it. Don't take the initiative to take care of things. If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make more mistakes.
More often than not, Han You is regarded as a qualified confidant and a qualified best friend.
As a confidant, Zhou Ke undoubtedly trusts him.
As a friend, Zhou Ke undoubtedly paid the emperor undue friendship.
And now, Han You will act as the Emperor's personal soldier, to serve the Emperor in an upright and dignified way, and to solve one thing for the country, one official matter, and one official thing that the Emperor's personal soldier should do.
All the way to the south of the city, Jiang Zhui had been waiting for a long time.
Teacher Gong also came, wearing a Confucian robe dancing in the wind, riding on a horse. He looked nothing like an old man over fifty years old, sitting on a horse, standing in the cold wind.
When he saw Han You, Teacher Gong just nodded slightly as a greeting.
Han You rode closer and nodded to Teacher Gong: "Excuse me, Mr. Gong, the journey is long and we are going there late at night. I, Han You..."
"I am a descendant of the Yin Yang School. The mountain collapsed and the people were trapped."
Teacher Gong stroked his beard and smiled: "That's when you need me, no need to say anything."
Han You nodded, this is the real Confucian, one sentence is enough, the time has come when you need me, so I am here, that's all, no nonsense.
Xiao Qi, who had entered the palace before, had arrived. He was originally going to the Ministry of Work, Rites, Soldiers, and Household Affairs to report the situation. As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Work, he was found by the guards and asked to come to the south of the city to explain the situation to Han You first.
After a few words, Han You roughly understood what was going on.
In addition to what he knew, the supply teams from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Households suffered heavy losses. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire army was wiped out. Only more than 20 people returned, with no people and no food.
Xiaoqi was not a person who experienced it personally, but went to investigate the situation afterwards. No corpses or food were seen. The mountain collapsed on the right side of the official road, sealing the entire official road.
If it is not resolved as soon as possible, not only the people of Changyuan will be trapped and the official roads will be blocked, but the caravans and people coming from the south will have to take a detour of more than 300 miles, and it will be the New Year's Eve soon, and the tax money will be delivered soon. .
"Understood, do what you should do, tell all the adults and the palace, after arriving in Changyuan, I will have someone send back a military report every other day."
