After everyone left,"Qin Hongyuan" opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
He was originally the West River Provincial Governor, a grand official of the border. He did not expect that the little guy would actually completely make him invisible.
They were all officials of the Great Tang.
Isn't it a little unkind of you to do this?
Chen An seemed to have seen through Qin Hongyuan's intentions. He turned his head and said seriously,""Qin Jiedu!"
"Uh..."
Qin Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, then he quickly stood up."I'm here!"
"I have a few difficult matters that I need you to do. These matters were extremely important. They concerned the safety of the west of the river and the state of the Great Tang.”
What was that?
Difficult matter? And a few? And very important? Is it related to the country?
Qin Hongyuan was a little stunned.
He was afraid that there was nothing to do, but he was also worried that the matter was too big to do.
For a moment, Qin Hongyuan fell into a dilemma.
Chen An looked at him quietly.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths…
Qin Hongyuan took a deep breath, nodded, and said in a deep voice,""As the governor of the west of the river, I will sacrifice myself for the Great Tang. Please instruct me, Lord Prime Minister!"
"Good!"
Chen An was very happy, but his expression was still solemn."The Turkic army is about to arrive. They have a total of one hundred thousand soldiers. And our prefectural army and border army combined only have 10,000 soldiers.”
[What?]
As soon as he said this, Qin Hongyuan's face turned pale.
One hundred thousand soldiers, my god!
How could the West River Road resist such a large grassland army? One must know that our entire army only has 10,000 men!
Ten thousand against a hundred thousand!
Even if the War God Li Jing came, he wouldn't be able to resist.
The little fellow in front of him was still a child, only seven years old this year. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't possibly be stronger than Li Jing, right?
It was over, it was over.
If the Turks really attack the West, our Hexi Road will be finished.
At this moment, Qin Hongyuan was panicking, very panicking.
"Minister An, aren't the Turks attacking Yanmen Pass? Why would they attack our West River Path?" Qin Hongyuan asked in panic.
He was afraid.
It was not that he was afraid of death, guarding the border was the responsibility of the provincial governors. At most, he would die for his own good.
What Qin Hongyuan was truly afraid of was
the fall of the eight prefectures in the west of the river, and the people becoming the 'two-legged sheep' of the Turks.
The tragedy of the Five Barbarians was less than a hundred years ago!
"Yanmen Pass is only a feint. The true direction of the Turkic assault is the Hexi Road.”Chen An replied in a deep voice, his words precise.
Hearing this, Qin Hongyuan fell silent.
After a long time, he asked again,""Minister An, tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as I can save the eight prefectures in the west of the river, no matter what you want me to do, I'll do it without hesitation.”
His voice was heavy and carried an endless solemnity.
Somehow, this Qin Provincial Governor who had followed the King of Qin for many years seemed to have a death wish.
Unfortunately, what Chen An wanted him to do was not to die, but…to be
more difficult than death!
"Provincial Governor Qin, Prime Minister has ordered you to 'forcefully recruit' the young men of the eight prefectures of the west of the river to come to Su Prefecture. Three days, you only have three days!"
Hiss!
Qin Hongyuan was so frightened that he sucked in a breath of cold air.
Conscription?
Forced to recruit people?
Oh my god, this was a "cruel act" that would offend the people of the west of the river and cause a great resentment!
In the past dynasties, all the ministers and emperors who did this did not have a good ending.
"What? Jiedu Qin, you don't dare?"
"This, this…" Qin Hongyuan hesitated. He really didn't dare.
"Haha!" Chen An smiled coldly and said,"Jiedu Qin, don't forget your identity. You are the governor of the west of the river, the governor guarding the west of the river. If something happens to Hexi, no matter what the reason is, you will die.”
The child's voice sounded extremely heartless and cruel.
However, this was the truth.
It didn't matter how many Turkic soldiers there were or how few soldiers there were. In short, you are a regional commander. If you lose the territory of the Great Tang, you will die.
Whether you die on the battlefield or are captured and beheaded by the Imperial Court, you will all die.
As for Chen An
…The baby was still young. Since ancient times, children have never been killed!"
As soon as he said this, Qin Hongyuan was in complete despair.
"I…I accept your orders!”
After saying this, Qin Hongyuan's face turned ashen as if his parents had died.
"Good, very good! Qin Jiedushi, after defeating the Turkic army, I will report to the emperor and ask for a title for you!”Chen An comforted her with a smile.
I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.
"Thank you, Minister An!"
With this ruthless order, Qin Hongyuan left with an extremely ugly expression.
After he left, Chen An immediately wrote a letter.
A moment later, the letter was written.
"Men, send this letter to the Hedong Provincial Governor's Mansion and ask him to send the Hedong Prefecture soldiers to help.”
As for Yanmen Pass…
it was too far away.
Even if Chen An wrote a letter to Li Jing, it would be too late. Besides, the officials and ministers of the Great Tang wouldn't believe me until the very last moment.
MMP!
Following
Chen An's order, Qin Hongyuan immediately dispatched the bailiffs from the various states and counties to forcibly recruit the young and strong men from the eight states.
The entire West River Road was filled with resentment.
Qin Hongyuan's reputation instantly became extremely smelly.
However, for the safety of Hexi and his own life, Qin Hongyuan had to bite the bullet and continue to do it even if he was criticized by thousands of people.
Suzhou's elites were forcibly recruited into the military camp.
Then, it was Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Hezhou, and Guazhou…
Not only that, Qin Hongyuan also raised his butcher knife and began to force the big families in the prefectures and counties to contribute grain.
"Qin Hongyuan, you bastard! Bastard!"
"Chen An, you're also a beast! Bastard!"
"With these two animals in the west of the river, the country is in danger, and the people are in danger…"
Countless curses resounded through the streets and every inch of land in the eight states of the west of the river.
On the second day. In the afternoon.
On the official road to the west of the river.
The imperial messenger was currently being escorted by the Golden Guards as he ran.
An hour later, they arrived at River State.
He looked at the young men in the city being forcefully escorted by the county government runners.
The messenger angel was shocked.
"Stop, stop! What are you guys doing? Who gave you the courage to attack the people of the Great Tang?”
Seeing the dragon flag fluttering in the wind, the bailiffs of River State hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Lord…Lord Angel, we are here under the orders of the West River Regional Governor to recruit the young and strong into the army.”
What was that? Hexi Provincial Governor?
Was he crazy?
"Where is he?" The decree messenger angel barked.
"In…in Suzhou!"
"Let's go!"
The angel sped towards Suzhou.
In the evening.
Qin Hongyuan was in the Suzhou Provincial Governor's Office, counting the number of young men in each province.
Suddenly!
"The angel has arrived.”
The loud voice shook the Provincial Governor's Office. Qin Hongyuan was shocked. He quickly put down his brush and ran out of the hall to welcome him at the door.
"West River Regional Governor, Qin Hongyuan. Greetings, Angel. Long live my emperor!"
"Qin Hongyuan has received the imperial edict: Chen An, the Tang's top scholar, has left Chang 'an without permission. I'm very angry. Qin Qing, I order you to find him immediately and send him back to Chang 'an. If you dare to resist, directly tie me up!”
This imperial edict didn't even use the imperial court's formal wording. It directly wrote the emperor's original words.
Li Shi Min was furious.
Hearing this imperial edict, Qin Hongyuan was extremely puzzled.
What was going on?
Didn't the little prime minister come to Hexi with the official documents of the Ministry of War to take up the post of Hexi Road Manager?
Why did the imperial edict say that Chen An had left his post without permission?
Oh my god!
What was going on? Who was lying!
This section was a little stunned and felt that he could not react for a moment.
