I came to this world to enlighten the gods

Chapter 106
Xin'an Yaoyue Tower is a famous restaurant in Hepu County. It has a history of more than 300 years and was established almost at the same time as the people in the Central Plains migrated.

When Du Yuhu, a romantic talent in the former dynasty, was demoted to Jiaozhou, he wrote a poem "Yuan Le counts and hears the jade flute, dances with wine and invites the moonlight night", hence the name.Jiaozhou has always been a must-visit place for scholars from the Central Plains to visit.

There are three floors in total, the first floor is for ordinary people to eat, the second floor is for merchants and rich households, and the third floor is for dignitaries, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies. Those who are not elegant are not allowed to go to the third floor. This is the rule of Yaoyue Tower that has not changed for 300 years.

When Li Qing entered the Yueyue Tower, the inside had already been cleared in advance. The running hall and the back kitchen were guarded by soldiers to prevent anyone from plotting to do anything wrong. The little one guided Li Qing to the third floor.

Dozens of tables and chairs are placed in the [-]-square-meter space on the third floor. Not only Hepu County, but even some demoted officials in Cangwu County were invited to the banquet together. Got it.

It is impossible for these officials to be loyal to him as soon as they join him. It is impossible to serve him to death. They have to slowly digest and integrate into the system.

Li Qing sat down at the table with a smile on his face. Although the envoy sent by the governor was dressed in a fourth-rank official mansion, he could only be arranged in the second place at this time, but the envoy did not show any dissatisfaction on his face.

Sun Liang stood up holding the envoy's hand, and said to Li Qing, "My lord, let me introduce you. This is Su Yucheng, a scholar of classics in Liangzhou."

The full name of classics is the work of classics. The governor of the state is an official, who is in charge of state affairs, and is in charge of the academic affairs of a state. Since the imperial examination, the post of classics has become more and more popular.

"It turned out to be Mr. Su, who has admired his name for a long time."

Li Qing got up and said, just about to say a few words of courtesy, unexpectedly Su Yucheng knelt down in attendance, and took out a gold seal and an imperial book from his arms, this scene caused an uproar in the audience.

"This……"

Many officials were dumbfounded. The meanings of the golden seal and the imperial book were extraordinary. Could it be that Mr. Su is crazy.

Li Qing was also shocked by this scene, and asked without changing his face: "What does Master Su mean by this?"

Su Yucheng's scalp was numb from being watched by everyone, but thinking of the governor's order, he said ruthlessly: "He Yong'an, the governor of Jiaozhou, heard that a sage was born in the South China Sea, and he was the emperor of the former dynasty. Mr. He knew that his virtue was shallow, so he ordered him to send him off. On the gold seal, the imperial book, give way to the general."

After he finished speaking, Li Qing's expression froze, and his heart was like a turbulent wave. He thought about unifying Jiaozhou, but he didn't expect this.It's just unbelievable.

Looking at Sun Liang secretly, he found that the other party was also confused. It was obvious that Su Yucheng had premeditated it, but Li Qing always felt that this matter was not that simple.

He took the gold seal imperial book and sighed: "Since Mr. He gave way to me, Qing has no choice but to take over because he thinks his virtue is shallow. Everyone continue to eat."

No matter what Su Yucheng's plan is, he can just follow it. Sending it out is easy to give it away, but taking it back is difficult.

How could the ministers be in the mood to enjoy this happening? Many people were talking in low voices, but they looked at Li Qing even more in awe. The rumors that Li Qing was a descendant of the former royal family turned out to be true.

Didn't you see that the Governor-in-Chief took the initiative to give up Yin?

Many officials secretly put away their small thoughts and began to face up to their own positions. The original thoughts of waiting and watching for a while naturally disappeared.

In this situation, the banquet ended hastily, Su Yucheng was left alone by Li Qing, and Sun Liang also stayed with him.

Removed the food and drink and replaced it with new tea, Sun Liang asked after Li Qing signaled, "Brother Su gave me a shock today, you should tell me about this kind of thing, so I can be mentally prepared."

Sun Liang asked half to reproach and half to test, but unexpectedly Su Yucheng fell to his knees again with a thud.

"General, please save hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Cochin!"

Li Qing's smile faded away, and the secret path finally came, he didn't believe in such a good thing.

He asked calmly: "Tell me, what is it?"

Su Yucheng calmed down and said, "A month ago, the barbarians near Jiaozhi showed signs of instability. I thought they were grabbing some money and food as usual, but I didn't expect these barbarians to secretly join forces and attack the state army under the command of the high priest of the barbarian court. Our army Without precautions, the five thousand army was completely lost, don't let Mr. Lu die on the spot.

The barbarians turned to attack the city. Fortunately, the guards were alert and prevented them from succeeding. However, these barbarians were determined to take down Jiaozhou city. They threatened that if they did not kill the rebellious Shanyue people, they would break into the city and slaughter the city. The governor ordered him to dismiss him Come to the rescue."

After finishing speaking, he looked closely at Li Qing, expecting Li Qing to send troops to relieve the siege, but also hating Li Qing for causing trouble, which made them suffer instead. Counting the days, the city has been besieged for nearly a month, and if there is no more reinforcements, the consequences will be worrisome.

It was only then that Li Qing suddenly realized that everything was rooted in the Barbarians. This time the Black Bears were able to gather so many barbarian tribes because the Barbarians were behind the scenes, and now it was them again.

However, now is not the best time to send troops.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to say: "This town has just experienced a war here, and the soldiers have suffered serious losses and have not yet rested. It is not appropriate to send troops at this time. How about sending troops in January?"
Su Yucheng was very anxious and begged: "General, please take pity on the hundreds of thousands of people in Cochin. The barbarians will really slaughter the city."

"This one……"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qing said: "How about this, when Yuan Xun leads the Golden Crow Army to come over to change defense, I will transfer some people from other armies to gather [-] people to support Zhoucheng."

"Thank you, General." Su Yucheng also knew that the limit was reached, and he no longer insisted. Li Qing's army can defeat the barbarian army, and its combat power is beyond the reach of ordinary officers and soldiers.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Master Su has worked hard all the way, let's go to rest first, I will send troops tomorrow, and Master Sun will wait for me to send Master Su off."

Sun Liang took Su Yucheng down to rest, and Li Qing began to sort out the pros and cons of this matter.

The city of Jiaozhou is located in Jiaozhi County. Because it is often harassed by the barbarians from Shanyue, the city walls are built tall and strong. It is definitely not possible for the barbarians to get close to the city in two or three months.

The best result is to let the two parties consume each other. The governor He Yongan is old and cunning, so he can't be trusted. By the way, it is not impossible to design him to drill in.

However, since he sent such a good excuse, it doesn't have to be a pity, the smile on Li Qing's face became brighter and brighter.

The next morning, Su Yucheng went out of the city, and he was relieved to see Hou Yuanxun, the commander of the Golden Crow Army, waiting outside the city.

Follow the army to the direction of Jiaozhi.

After leaving Hepu County, Su Yucheng felt more and more wrong, as if there was something wrong with the route.

Su Yucheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

This is the direction to Jiaozhi, which is to Yulin County.

Suppressing his anger, he asked Hou Yuanxun: "General Hou, didn't you agree to go to Cochin? Why are you going to Yulin now?"

Hou Yuanxun showed a mocking smile on his face: "My lord said that Yulin County is connected with Yizhou. In order to prevent the barbarians of Yizhou from fighting with Jiaozhou, let me go to Yulin County first to relieve the siege of the state city. The lord has his own calculations. Could it be Mr. Su? have opinions".

The sullen tone made Su Yucheng shudder. He is now in the opponent's army, and his life and death are in the opponent's hands. He looked at Hou Yuanxun bitterly, and walked away.

"You still want to fight the lord with this little thought, you're overthinking your abilities"

Hou Yuanxun cursed secretly, now that Su Yucheng asked him to send troops to rescue the siege as soon as possible, he had no choice but to recruit soldiers and horses from Yulin County for them. The name of the governor's subordinate is still very useful.
