Chapter 2173 Recruitment
However, the second prince rewarded Shao Yunduan with two at once, which shows that "the emperor's grace is great!".
Even the Sun family members, who had already made up their minds to teach Shao Yunduan a lesson when he arrived, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
After Lord Yang and Prefect Liu received the order, they prepared for two days and arranged the ceremonial procession. Including all the accompanying personnel and guards, a total of more than 300 people set out for the provincial capital of Huaixi Province.
Hope rose in Magistrate Liu's heart again. He was secretly excited and couldn't wait.
He was still thinking about his huge fortune.
Three years as a clean prefect, ten years as a wealthy man. You should know that he had been the prefect of Huaixi Province for eight years. He was supposed to be promoted, but he was so unlucky that the previous emperor passed away and the country was in chaos. Naturally, no one cared about the transfer of local officials.
Only he himself knows how much wealth he has accumulated in eight years!
Last time, I thought General Sun could capture the provincial capital of Huaixi and he could rescue his property, but he failed unexpectedly and almost lost his life.
Now, we finally have another chance!
Both of them wanted to complete the task quickly, so they did not delay at all on the way.
Lord Yang was very studious. Along the way, he asked Prefect Liu in detail about Huaixi Province and Shao Yunduan.
As for Huaixi Province, Prefect Liu could still speak clearly. But Shao Yunduan... Although Shao Yunduan was the prefect under him, he really didn't know much about this person. So he could only talk nonsense.
Anyway, he is not a good person.
Lord Yang followed the Second Prince away from the capital, but he really didn't know Shao Yunduan because they had never met each other when they were all in the capital.
After listening to what Prefect Liu said, my impression of Shao Yunduan became even worse.
Arrogant, conceited, sinister, cunning, greedy...
Lord Yang felt that to deal with such people, one must use both kindness and severity.
We must first let him know that with his limited strength, it is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. We must let him face the reality and then show him kindness and subdue him.
Neither of the two adults expected that they would be stopped at a checkpoint before reaching the provincial capital of Huaixi.
This checkpoint is like a long dragon, stretching between towering mountains. The majestic and sturdy tall fortresses, city walls, arrow towers and watchtowers are scattered around, cutting the original official road in half.
From a distance, you can see the three big characters "Huaixi Pass" written on the tall and majestic city wall, which are vigorous and imposing.
"This..." Lord Yang asked Prefect Liu hurriedly, "Why is there such a checkpoint here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Prefect Liu: “….”
Magistrate Liu was as stunned as he was.
Tell me earlier? How can I tell? He doesn't know either!
"This checkpoint didn't exist originally! They built it later. It didn't exist when General Sun and I led our troops here..."
Prefect Liu was furious and depressed, thinking that Shao Yunduan had gone crazy and had actually built such a huge checkpoint here!
Now, it has been almost two months since the battle. In two months, with sufficient manpower and materials, it is indeed possible to build the level.
Lord Yang frowned and sneered, "It seems that Shao Yunduan is really ambitious!"
Otherwise, such fortifications would not have been built.
You can imagine who they are guarding against.
"So, his claim that he was wronged by General Sun and had to fight back to protect himself was all a lie!"
