The capital of Yuezhou is a special place.
It is different from other state capitals and is built in a more prosperous city.
Luocheng in Yuezhou stands directly and brightly at the border.
This is the place chosen by the Yue family.
They once boasted: "Anyone who wants to cross the Lishui River must first defeat the Yuezhou Army."
The Lishui River is a long river that separates Hengguo and Manhe.
It has a long history.
There is only one bridge to cross the Lishui River.
This bridge was built by the Yue family back then.
Even after so many years, the word "Yue" is still engraved on the bridge pillar.
Even if the Manhe army pressed forward, they would retreat outside the Lishui River.
At this moment, the Lishui River is surging.
Gusts of wind blew the dry grass.
Zhao Erwangwu, standing on the city wall of Luocheng, looked unhappy.
They had been prepared for the sudden snowfall.
But the sudden drop in temperature still made them shiver.
The sun has been shining in the past few days, and things have gotten much better.
But the white frost covering the ground still showed that the temperature was extremely low.
Zhao Er was wrapped in a cotton coat, his brows furrowed, standing on the city wall and looking into the distance.
All I could see was a tent pitched in the distance.
"What on earth is this Man He waiting for?"
The black-armored soldiers were also outside Luocheng.
It's really tiring to wait here with Manhe every day.
Wang Wu clicked his tongue twice and said, "When the master comes back, I'll kill them all."
Zhao Er glanced at him as if he were a fool.
"In broad daylight, you're talking nonsense."
Zhao Eryi was shocked by his words, and Wang Wu was so angry that he wanted to punch him twice.
"Why don't you tell me?! What are they doing here all the time?"
Zhao Er looked serious. He stood up and looked at the Lishui River in front of him.
The voice was a little low: "I see..."
"Not coming out."
Wang Wu thought he could say something, but these words came out of nowhere and he almost fell into it.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Zhao Er suppressed the smile on his lips.
"Hurry up and go on patrol."
As Zhao Er spoke, he turned and left.
Wang Wu was grimacing in anger at the back, and it seemed that the brotherhood had suddenly disappeared.
But the two people have not yet come down from the city wall.
First I saw a group of people slowly walking towards me.
The one in the lead was wearing the blue official uniform of a county magistrate and had an unusually handsome appearance.
He walked with an upright posture, like a green pine in winter.
"Mr. County Magistrate?"
Zhao Er was the first to salute.
Although they followed Chu Jinshen, none of them missed out on the marching and fighting.
Therefore, he also holds the official title of a military general.
To some extent, Zhao Er is only one level lower than Xu Pingsheng.
Xu Pingsheng paused and asked, "Where is Zhao Qianshou going?"
Qianshou is a military officer's official position, in charge of a thousand black armor soldiers.
"It's time for patrol. I'll go take a look."
Wang Wu stood behind Zhao Er, he was impatient to deal with this.
So that day Chu Jinshen only promoted Zhao Er to the Thousand Hands level.
And he was still a little one.
He followed Zhao Er and bowed.
"Oh, Zhao Qianshou, you've worked hard. Let me take a look."
Zhao Er had some impression of the people following Xu Pingsheng.
These people are not good people.
After Manhe plundered Yuezhou.
These people had money in their hands, and in order to survive, they sold out a lot of Yuezhou troops.
Moreover, some people who were looked down upon were treated as Yuezhou soldiers and handed over to the Manhe people.
Later, Chu Jinshen finally took Yuezhou back.
He was seriously injured and has been recovering.
These people were originally going to be dealt with, but Chu Jinshen didn't have time to give the order, which caused the delay.
Unexpectedly, Xu Pingsheng released them as soon as he arrived.
Zhao Er's face was solemn.
"The people behind the County Magistrate..."
Xu Pingsheng looked back and chuckled.
"Ah, Zhao Qianshou, don't worry. These people... are also the people of our Yuezhou."
"Now that Man He is approaching, he naturally wants to atone for his sins."
Wang Wu widened his eyes. What Xu Pingsheng said was too shameless.
If it wasn't for offending Xu Pingsheng easily and alerting the enemy.
He had already cursed out.
Zhao Er stood in front of Wang Wu.
"My Lord, these people are not citizens of Yuezhou. They... are all criminals."
The men behind him looked at each other.
Their lives were not so easy during their time in prison.
I finally got out, why would I go back?
"Mr. County Magistrate, it seems Zhao Qianshou still doesn't know."
"We are willing to spend all our wealth and devote all our efforts to this attack on Manhe."
Spend all your wealth? Attack Manhe?
Zhao Er could hardly suppress the sarcasm on his face.
If they had really done that, probably not so many things would have happened back then.
Xu Pingsheng didn't care: "Zhao Qianshou must have heard it."
"Your Majesty has also sent news that the palace... the treasury is empty."
"If a war really breaks out, I'm afraid... this battle will be hard to predict."
Xu Pingsheng speaks slowly and methodically.
Wang Wu wanted to tear his mouth apart.
This group of intellectuals are like this, they just hold the pen and speak and let them commit this crime.
It is obvious that these people are unforgivable and all their property should be confiscated!
Xu Pingsheng continued, "People always make mistakes. If you can correct them, that's the best thing you can do."
"What does Zhao Qianshou think?"
Zhao Er was about to speak when Xu Pingsheng interrupted him again.
"I forgot to mention... Is it possible for the Seventh Prince to come here in time now?"
After hearing this, Wang Wu could no longer bear it.
"Who are you to say such things about our prince?"
Xu Pingsheng seemed to have gotten what he wanted.
He looked at Wang Wu who was standing behind Zhao Er.
"Oh? This must be... Wang Baishou, right? However, I am the county governor, so this is a bit out of line."
As Xu Pingsheng spoke, he looked at Zhao Er.
"Zhao Qianshou, then why not let me teach you a lesson."
"How about thirty military sticks?"
If an ordinary person were struck with thirty military sticks, he would be crippled if not killed.
If it happens to them, although their lives will not be harmed, they will need to recuperate for a long time.
Zhao Er's expression suddenly changed: "Sir, the county governor, now is the time to use people as we are facing a powerful enemy."
It would be a bad time for him to turn against Xu Pingsheng.
You can only avoid the spotlight temporarily.
"If anything happens to Wang Baishou, we'll lose a powerful general."
Xu Pingsheng said "Oh" casually.
"But Zhao Qianshou must also remember that the more this happens, the more he must manage his subordinates."
"Otherwise, I will doubt whether you can lead these black armored soldiers well."
There was a threat hidden in Xu Pingsheng's words.
Although Wang Wu was a little impulsive, he understood what was said.
"Everyone has their own faults. It's just thirty military sticks. I can bear it!"
As he spoke, he walked out.
Xu Pingsheng had a smile on his face.
"well!"
