The next day.
Xun Chen left Linrong County with Gu Yuan's letter and Tuoba Zhao's personal token.
A horse from a big man!
Riding into Xianbei alone!
He left for the 150,000 Han people!
Xun Chen was not stupid. He knew that the Xianbei people were cruel and violent.
Even if he had unparalleled eloquence and knowledge, he could still die on the grassland.
But he still went without hesitation.
Since our Great Han has an outstanding person like Marquis Wu An to defend our territory and open up new frontiers…
Naturally, there would be scholars with loyal hearts and passionate blood!
At the same time, under Guo Jia's arrangements, Zhang Xu from the Little Yellow Sect also died on the belly of a brothel woman.
Shi Qian, who had disguised himself as him, took his place and boarded the carriage back to Luoyang.
He was familiar with all of Zhang Xu's habits and hobbies, and he had also managed to dig out all of Zhang Xu's connections.
A spy planted in the palace had quietly taken shape.
Gu Yuan also made his first decision after taking office.
Change Shuofang County, Yanmen County to Linrong County.
He was in charge of Linrong and managed all the affairs of the two counties.
Shuofang and Yanmen counties added up to a total of 18 counties.
All the county magistrates, county mayors, and county captains rushed to Linrong under Gu Yuan's orders.
At this moment, they were all gathered in the county government, trembling with fear.
"What is Marquis Wu An trying to do by gathering us here?”
"Who knows? A new official is always like this! We'll just listen!"
"That's right. Marquis Wu An is currently favored by His Majesty and is extremely popular. Now, he is also the prefect of Shuofang and Yanmen counties. We have to quickly curry favor with him!”
The county magistrates discussed animatedly.
Creak.
The door was pushed open.
Gu Yuan strode out with a cold expression and a hint of killing intent.
It made the entire room a little colder.
Lu Bu and Zhang Liao followed closely behind him.
Outside the door, a large group of soldiers stood solemnly.
This stance shocked all the county magistrates.
Why did it feel like something was wrong?
But soon, everyone calmed down.
He was fearless.
The political system of the Han Dynasty was to promote filial piety and honesty.
It was a matter of having some reputable local people recommend talents to the imperial court.
Over time, a large number of local snake interest groups formed.
They were most familiar with the local situation and had complicated relationships.
Therefore, the prefect of Liushui, the county magistrate of Liushui, no matter what officials they were, they had to rely on them to control the people.
They were sure that Gu Yuan would not dare to touch them.
Otherwise, there would be intense internal friction in the two counties that had finally settled down.
The Xianbei were eyeing them like tigers, and the Yellow Turbans were wreaking havoc.
No one dared to cause trouble in Yanmen again!
Gu Yuan's cold gaze swept across everyone present.
He spoke in a deep voice.
"A month ago, the Xianbei broke through Yanmen Pass and invaded Bingzhou.”
"Yanmen County and Shuofang County suffered the most from the Xianbei.”
"Those who fled south to avoid disaster, step forward!”
The moment he said this, the county officials looked at each other.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an extremely strange situation.
No one moved.
Gu Yuan sneered.
"I'll say it again. Those who fled at the last moment and went south to avoid disaster, step forward!”
A person slowly walked out, his expression slightly displeased.
This was the county magistrate of Mayi County, Yanmen Prefecture, Wang Zhi.
"Marquis Wu An, I left Mayi that day and went to Jinyang to seek reinforcements! However, I am loyal to the country and have the heart of a child. How can you say that I ran away?”
Gu Yuan sneered.
It was rather dignified.
He hated these corrupt officials to the core.
If it was just for the sake of his own life, he would have escaped and never returned to the border.
However, some people fled faster than anyone else in times of danger. Once the situation stabilized, they would run back to be the superior person and prey on the people.
Who gave them the right to do so?
"Fleeing in the face of battle, according to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, you should be beheaded!”
"Zhang Liao, take him down!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao, who was standing at the side, suddenly took a step forward and waved his hand.
Outside the house, two soldiers rushed in and captured Wang Zhi.
"Marquis Wu An, what are you trying to do!"
Wang Zhi's expression changed. His face turned red as he shouted angrily.
The faces of the other county officials also changed drastically, and they instantly turned pale.
They did not expect Gu Yuan to be so unruly and actually dare to attack them!
Was he crazy?
Was he really not afraid that Yanmen County and Shuofang County would fall into chaos again?
"Pushing him out and beheading him!"
Gu Yuan snorted coldly.
Two soldiers immediately escorted Wang Zhi out.
Not long after, there was a scream, and Wang Zhi's head fell to the ground.
"Marquis Wu An! According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, if a county official was guilty, he had to report it to the provincial governor first, then to the imperial court, and the imperial court would make a decision!”
"You're just a prefect. You don't have the right to touch us!”
"Killing a county magistrate without authorization, I want to impeach you to the imperial court!”
The county officials roared angrily.
Gu Yuan sneered.
"There's no need for you to write a letter. I'll write a document myself and report it to the Imperial Court!”
"Lu Bu!"
Lu Bu stepped forward. Fengxian is here!"
Gu Yuan ordered coldly.
"You will lead Wen Hou's Steel Cavalry to the counties of Yanmen and Shuofang to conduct an investigation!”
"If you encounter anyone who incites riots, kill them immediately!~”
"If you have any news, immediately send a letter to me.”
"All county officials, please stay here! After the investigation, those who are not guilty will be released. I will personally offer tea to apologize!”
"The rest of you, if you run away from the battle, kill them! Fish and people, beheaded! Corpse position, vegetarian meal, beheaded!"
(I'm begging for flowers and votes!)
