Chapter 221: Chapter 221: I am Xu Qian'an"Dare these big-headed soldiers from Yunzhou to rebel?"
The silver gong raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the situation outside the city now?"
The soldier rushed over at full speed, his lips were blue and cracked by the cold wind, his mouth was dry, and the sound he made when he opened his mouth was hoarse and unpleasant: "The South City Gate is closed..."
"Don't worry, take a breath first!"
Xu Qi'an heard the sound and went downstairs to pour a glass of cold water for the soldier.
The soldier hurriedly took it and drank it all up. He felt much more comfortable in his throat. He looked at Xu Qi'an with gratitude and spoke quickly:
"The Guards have assembled 3,000 troops, just outside the South City Gate. The commander of the Guards, Xu Huchen, threatened that within half an hour, if the governor does not release the commander-in-chief and give them an explanation, then they will enter the city!" Soldier's remonstrance! S~eaʀᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xu Qi'an, who is well-versed in history, first thought of this word. The so-called military remonstration is to persuade the monarch or elders to obey by force.
In short, it is to force you to submit with fists.
The difference between military remonstration and coup d'état is that the purpose is different, but the behavior is the same. The two military remonstrations that impressed Xu Qi'an the most were the death of Yang Yuhuan at Mawei Slope and the young marshal taking out a small pistol and shooting at Chiang Kai-shek.
Both military remonstrations were successful, one changed the future of the Tang Dynasty, and the other changed the future of China.
However, military remonstration is a death remonstration, and no one will use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
"How dare you!"
The few silver gongs who came to check asked about the situation and were immediately furious.
This kind of thing is simply unheard of in the capital. When they heard the news, they were surprised and angry beyond words.
"The governor has gone to the Metropolitan Command, and it is impossible for him to reach the South City within half an hour." A silver gong held the hilt of his knife and said in a deep voice:
"How many people are there in the city defense army of South City?"
"Less than a thousand people." The soldier replied.
I'm afraid it can't be defended...
"So, a few of us will lead the Tiger Guards to the South City. If those big-headed soldiers dare to rebel, we will chop them up. I believe we can delay until the governor and reinforcements come." A silver gong suggested.
Several warlike night watchmen were eager to try.
The Tiger Guards were already experienced soldiers, and with the night watchmen who were at the Qi training level, it would not be difficult to defend against the attack of the Guards' army if they cooperated with the city defense army.
"What about Yang Chuannan? He is a wanted criminal of the court, and we can't just ignore him." Xu Qian'an reminded these hot-headed night watchmen.
"Take him with you." A copper gong said.
"Do you believe that the soldiers of the garrison will fight to the death with us on the spot?" Xu Qian'an raised his eyebrows.
"They are at the gate of the city, isn't this their purpose?" The man with the bronze gong snorted coldly:
"Do you think that by forcing us with force, we can make the governor and us surrender? It's just right to let these soldiers of Yunzhou know what night watchmen are."
This is what the night watchmen are most annoyed about.
They have always been the only ones who supervised the officials and punished corrupt officials. When did someone dare to bully them at their doorstep? They also threatened to let the governor go out to meet them within half an hour, otherwise they would rush into the city.
This is completely disregarding the night watchmen and trampling on their face.
Officials can be tolerated, but warriors cannot be tolerated.
Sorcerers can be tolerated, but warriors still cannot be tolerated.
Fuck him.
Xu Qi'an saw that the situation was not right, and knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Everyone calm down, force can't solve the problem."
The silver gong who first met the soldiers had the most bad temper. Looking at Xu Qi'an, he cursed: "Anyway, I can't stand it. Jiang Jinluo is not here, and the silver gong has the final say here. Brothers, follow me and take Yang Chuannan with you."
Li Miaozhen stood aside and watched coldly.
Bang!
Xu Qi'an stood up with a loud bang on the table.
The night watchmen who were about to leave the post station came back in shock.
Xu Qi'an pointed at the silver gong's nose and cursed: "I don't care if you are a silver gong or not, don't use your position to suppress me, can you suppress it? Go ask the guy surnamed Zhu if he can suppress it!
"You have intensified the conflict, what do you want the governor to do? Kill all 3,000 soldiers of the guards? Let's take a step back. If you can't hold on, and the war affects ordinary people in the city, will you be responsible? Can you take the responsibility?"
The silver gong stuck his neck out, puffed his beard and glared: "Xu Qi'an, do you think you can take responsibility?"
"At least my shoulders can bear more than you!" Xu Qi'an shouted.
For a moment, no one refuted.
The loud words of a copper gong made the night watchmen in the room silent... The female ghost Su Su looked at this scene in surprise, and she found it difficult to understand.
"All of you stay here and guard Yang Chuannan. He is a serious criminal of the court and cannot have any mistakes. The outer city garrison will be left to me to delay." Seeing that no one continued to argue, Xu Qi'an told his plan.
"You?"
Everyone looked doubtful.
Xu Qi'an pinched his eyebrows and explained clearly: "The army of the Weisi is at the gate of the city. Its purpose is not to attack the city, but to ask the governor to release Yang Chuannan. This gives us some room for maneuver.
"You rushed over in such a hurry, and brought Yang Chuannan with you. This is nothing but a provocation. Instead, it intensified the conflict and left both sides with no way out.
"Of course, I can't persuade the soldiers of the garrison, but General Li can."
Xu Qi'an pushed Li Miaozhen out and said with a smile, "General Li probably doesn't want everyone to be so stalemate, leaving Yang Chuannan with no way out."
Li Miaozhen seemed to be waiting for this result. He slowly exhaled, no longer watching coldly, and nodded, "This general will do his best to hold on until the governor arrives."
....
Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi'an led two fast horses and rushed to the South Gate. The paper man Su Su hugged Li Miaozhen's slender waist and sat behind.
"You little copper gong are quite capable! "Su Su tilted her head and looked at Xu Qi'an who
was walking side by side.
"It's not that I have the ability, it's mainly..." Xu Qi'an coughed and said in a tone of revealing
a secret: "In fact, Governor Zhang and I are half-brothers."
Su Su immediately grasped the key point: "Oh, you are Governor Zhang's brother?"
"Otherwise, how can I have such a big say?"
"So that's it..." Su Su suddenly realized and felt that she knew a big secret.
Li Miaozhen's mouth twitched, and she wanted to remind her maid that she couldn't believe a
single punctuation mark in what Xu Qi'an said.
The reason why he had such a big say was because he was deeply trusted and appreciated by Wei Yuan, and his status in the government was unusual.
But this information came from the Tiandihui. What does the information No. 2 knew have to
do with Li Miaozhen?
.....
After arriving at the South Gate and showing their badges, the two climbed up the city wall and were personally received by the thousand households of the city defense army.
"Governor, why haven't you come yet?"
Holding a saber, the burly captain with a square face and triangular eyes looked at the empty
street, unable to hide his disappointment.
"The governor is investigating a case in the Commandery and cannot come here for the time being. The general of the cavalry and I will delay the time first." Xu Qian'an explained.
He stood on the top of the city and looked down. There were two square formations outside the city. The larger square formation was the army of the Guards, with cavalry in front, infantry in the back, and artillery in the middle.
The flags fluttered, and the three thousand soldiers looked at the top of the city in silence. An indescribable fierceness came over him.
Xu Qian'an is now a half-step soul-refining realm, but facing this battle-hardened army, his mind is still to avoid it and dare not confront it head-on.
He fought for three thousand miles and his sword was once a million-man division... What
kind of warrior can do such a feat?
He thought with emotion.
"The army of Yunzhou is extremely fierce. They will make trouble when they say they will,
and they are not afraid of death at all. "Li Miaozhen held a silver spear in his hand and looked
down at him side by side:
"I came to the post station last night because I was afraid that the governor would act too radically and push things to an irreversible situation."
Xu Qiyan nodded. Banditry was rampant in Yunzhou. It would be strange if a soldier in Yunzhou was not fierce. Soldiers who had been fighting for years were full of evil spirits. They usually only recognized the leaders who fought alongside them, and it was difficult for
outsiders to control them.
Unlike soldiers in comfortable places, they cherished their lives so much.
"The small square over there, which station's army is it?" Xu Qiyan asked. The troops at the gates of the city were the Wei Command and Commander Division under
Baidi City, also known as the Wei Division. The next level was the station. The small square on
the side looked like there were about four or five hundred people. Xu Qiyan guessed that it was
a county-level "station".
Li Miaozhen was embarrassed: "It's my Feiyan Army."
Ning was also a traitor? Xu Qiyan looked at her with distrust.
Li Miaozhen explained: "I did think about using the army to put pressure on me. This is a bad
habit I developed in the Yunzhou army."
She threw the blame on the Yunzhou army.
"Then what should we do now? Leave the city?" Xu Qiyan asked tentatively.
"Yes." Li Miaozhen nodded.
"Can I not go?"
"You represent the governor," Li Miaozhen glanced at him: "Guardian Commander Xu
Huchen has a bad temper and is stubborn. If you want to resolve the conflict, you have to be
patient."
"You can't even save your face?"
Li Miaozhen said, "If I don't accompany him, he might chop off your copper gong."
"Hey, soldiers are really unreasonable."
The city gate opened with a creaking sound, and the captain of the city defense army sent the
two out of the city and waved: "Take care."
Xu Qian'an looked back on horseback: "Captain, why don't you go with us?"
The captain said: "It's windy here, what did you say? I can't hear it clearly... Oh, you said to
close the city gate? Okay, I will never open the city gate even if I die."
The city gate slowly closed.
"..." Xu Qian'an said in his heart, damn.
Li Miaozhen did not charge directly at the Wei Division, but turned his horse to his Feiyan
Army, calling dozens of cavalry to support the formation, and this time he met the three thousand soldiers of the Wei Division.
"My Feiyan Army, the lowest cultivation is also the Refining Essence Realm, a total of 437 people, the squad leader is at the peak of Refining Essence, the sergeant is at the Qi Refining Realm, and the hundred households are at the Copper Skin and Iron Bone Realm."
Li Miaozhen's voice was pleasant and crisp, and she introduced her private army to Xu Qi'an
with a little pride.
Four sixth-grade realm, forty Qi Refining Realm... My God, this woman is too scary, right? Xu Qi'an swallowed his saliva, "Such an army, there is no such army in Yunzhou."
Li Miaozhen said "hmm" and said reservedly: "Everyone followed me to Yunzhou for my face."
How big is your face? Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at the high ponytail American girl with a silver spear on a horse, and had to re-evaluate her strength.
Xu Qi'an's intuitive impression of her was the Saint of Tianzong, followed by the Feiyan
female knight. But now it seems that the title of Flying Swallow Heroine has to be ranked
first.
Li Miaozhen's connections in the martial arts world may be more unfathomable than he
imagined. Everyone in the Tiandihui is talented, and I, a little copper gong, have to work harder... Well, let's set a small goal first, to become Wei Yuan's son... "What is Xu Huchen's cultivation level?" Xu Qi'an suddenly asked.
"The peak of the Refining Spirit Realm." Li Miaozhen replied.
"The cultivation level is not high." Xu Qi'an was surprised.
"Wei Yuan is still an ordinary person, not the commander-in-chief of the three armies." Li
Miaozhen shook his head and said: "Marching and fighting is not about bravery and fierceness. High-quality warriors can fight one hundred or a thousand. But they may not be able to lead an army of a thousand people.
"My ability, 500 people is already the limit. But Xu Huchen can lead an army of 3,000 to 5,000 people. In a head-on confrontation on the battlefield, I will definitely lose." Violence is aesthetics, war is art, two completely different concepts.
Li Miaozhen stopped five feet away from the Weisi army and said loudly: "Commander Xu,
come over and talk."
A general rode out of the line, the general in the lead was eight feet tall, the mount under his crotch was taller than an ordinary horse, and he held a long spear in his hand. Those who dared to use a long spear were all brave and fierce generals.
Xu Huchen held a long spear in his hand, his eyes were sharp, and his dark blue chin just
scraped past. He nodded slightly at Li Miaozhen: "General Li is also with us to rescue the commander-in-chief?"
Li Miaozhen shook his head: "Lord Yang is fine, General Xu is too impulsive. Do you know the
consequences of doing this?"
"At worst, I will die."
Xu Huchen was very single, grinning: "My life was saved by the commander-in-chief. If the
court wants to punish him, I will risk my life."
Xu Qiyan suddenly asked: "How did you know this news?"
Xu Huchen glanced at Xu Qiyan and sneered: "It turned out to be the Eagle Claw under Wei
Yan's hands." You said I was fine, but it was too much to say my father... Xu Qiyan flicked his thumb, and the black gold long sword on his waist was unsheathed half an inch, and said in a deep voice: "General Xu, don't challenge the majesty of the court. I came here with sincerity. If you don't know how to appreciate it, I would have cut you off your horse just now."
Li Miaozhen said so much, but in fact, she revealed one meaning: Don't reason with soldiers.
Reasoning is what scholars do, soldiers only use fists, and only with strong fists can you have
dignity.
Xu Qian'an's idea is to show force first, win respect, and intimidate these guys who are not afraid of death. Then talk about reason.
Xu Huchen was polite to Li Miaozhen, and he was directly sarcastic to him, which is a
manifestation of lack of dignity.
But it is definitely not okay to chop people directly, which will intensify the conflict.
"Da Da Da..."
He turned his horse's head and went to the other side silently.
Xu Huchen, Li Miaozhen, and dozens of riders of the Feiyan Army followed him.
"Humph! I want to see the governor, and he is qualified to talk to me with a gong?" Xu Huchen sneered disdainfully, "A kid who hasn't even grown all his hair, thinks this is the capital, and everyone is afraid of the night watchman? "General Li, what happened to the commander-in-chief?" Li Miaozhen shook his head and just looked at Xu Qian'an's back.
Xu Huchen was a little impatient. was irritable and angry. He avoided the governor and sent a Tongluo to deal with him. He was very dissatisfied.
He couldn't even suppress the impulse to kill Tongluo and protest to the governor.
He was willing to come and talk for the sake of the Ranger General Li Miaozhen.
At this time, the Tongluo stopped and turned his head to look at Xu Huchen with a sneer.
Then, he flicked his left thumb and pushed the saber out half an inch. He held the hilt with his
right hand and accumulated power for a short time...
"Clang!"
The harsh sound of the saber being unsheathed echoed in the air. In the eyes of Xu Huchen and
others, and in the eyes of thousands of troops, they only felt that the air was distorted and
something seemed to have passed by.
The next moment, with a dull sound, a crack appeared on the ground, extending from Xu Qi'an's feet to the front of the army, more than ten feet long.
The cavalry in the front row became agitated, and the horses seemed to be frightened. Xu Huchen widened his eyes, unbelievable, he... could really cut me off my horse just now.
This general who led the troops to fight and was extremely fierce felt a little awe in his heart and recognized Xu Qi'an's sincerity.
Li Miaozhen stared at Xu Qi'an in surprise, with a big question mark flashing in her mind.
Judging from her vision as the Saint of Tianzong, the edge of this knife was so sharp and swift
as thunder that even a warrior who had just entered the sixth-grade bronze skin and iron bones realm could not resist it with his flesh.
Is this a cut by a warrior in the Qi training realm?
Then, she remembered what No. 1 said, Xu Qi'an had cut a silver Luo, and that silver Luo was a
master in the spirit training realm.
At that time, he could kill people above his level, and now, he is half a step into the spirit.
If he is a genius, Taoist Jinlian did not invite him to join the club, but chose his cousin, who is
so terrifying.
"Wow."
Behind him, the masters of the Feiyan Army were amazed.
"Da Da Da..."
Xiao Tongluo rode back on his horse, holding on to his tired body, and said lightly: "General
Xu, I am Xu Qian'an, representing the governor to discuss with you."
"..." Xu Huchen said in a deep voice: "Sir, please speak."
