Chapter 2174 Block
Prefect Liu hurriedly asked, "Lord Yang, what do you mean - will Shao Yunduan submit to the emperor? What should we do now?"
Magistrate Liu wailed in his heart, he just wanted to take back the property that originally belonged to him, why was it so difficult!
Lord Yang said nothing.
Originally, he didn't think there was anything difficult about this matter. Since Shao Yunduan was forced to resist in order to protect himself - this was indeed possible, because the Sun family was really domineering.
General Sun Pusun, as the favored youngest son, has always had a bad temper.
Since he was forced to do so, and the emperor sincerely recruited him, promised him a high position and generous salary, and made the decision to forgive all past mistakes, Shao Yunduan would naturally be grateful and retreat.
It makes sense. Although various forces in the world are rising nowadays, they are just trying to fish in troubled waters, protect themselves, or have fun. They are not a big deal at all.
The emperor is now too lazy to pay attention to those small forces.
Once the Fourth and Third Princes were dealt with, and the Emperor issued an edict to recruit them, how many of those small forces would dare to resist? Unless they were courting death.
Therefore, now that the emperor values him so much, why would Shao Yunduan be dissatisfied?
He must be flattered!
However, after seeing this pass, Lord Yang was no longer so confident.
If Shao Yunduan was really forced to protect himself, why would he spend manpower and resources to build such a pass?
This is not a bottleneck, this is his wolfish ambition!
It was also because he overestimated his own abilities.
Lord Yang sneered: "It's like an ant trying to shake a tree. You don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is! It seems that we can't take this mission lightly. We need to pay attention and be more cautious everywhere!"
Prefect Liu had no choice but to cheer up and nodded: "Your Excellency is right..."
He couldn't help but feel worried in his heart. If Shao Yunduan didn't submit to the emperor, would he be able to get his property back?
If he surrendered, we would be colleagues in the future. Moreover, I used to be his immediate superior and surrendered to the emperor earlier than him, so I was his senior. As long as I asked, there was no way he would not return those properties to me.
But...if he refuses to submit to the emperor and insists on rebelling, how can he possibly spit out the fat meat he has swallowed?
Prefect Liu also secretly regretted it. If he had known that Shao Yunduan was so bold and serious, he would not have falsely accused him of treason to General Sun...
Of course, Governor Liu knew whether Shao Yunduan had rebelled or not. But sometimes people would make excuses for their failures, and would make groundless guesses and unreasonably conclude that it was just like that, and that it was right. In the end, even they believed it themselves and told others with full confidence.
The so-called rebellion of Shao Yunduan was just something he made up.
Lord Yang and his entourage arrived at the Huaixi Pass and ordered people to go forward to negotiate.
He and Magistrate Liu were riding in the same carriage, and neither of them got out.
They were imperial envoys, carrying the emperor's orders. Even if Shao Yunduan came, they had to be courteously invited before they would get off the car. What was this mere pass?
The one guarding the pass is Wu Guan.
Now he is in charge of the entire area.
Just ten miles north of Huaixi Pass, a military camp was built, where five thousand soldiers are currently stationed, training and cultivating the land.
After Lord Yang and his entourage revealed their identities, the small leader guarding the pass did not dare to make a decision and hurriedly ran to report to Guardian Wu.
Wu Guan was very surprised. The Second Prince sent an "imperial envoy" to look for Lord Shao? What did this mean?
