Now that the border has been breached, why is the governor so calm? He is really as steady as a rock, making Nanwu Bu feel inferior.
"No, Brother Yue Fei, isn't it a bit unreasonable for the governor to be so quiet? After all, when the enemy is at the gates, there must be some noise."
"What do you want him to do?"
Good guy, Yue Fei's question made Nanwu Bu confused.
"The enemy is already at the gates. Doesn't he have any sense of danger at all, or is it that we're protecting him too well?!"
Yue Fei sighed and then leaned back on the chair, lying down completely, not thinking about anything, and then he yawned sleepily.
"Okay, stop making trouble. We can't rest for a few days now."
"What's wrong now? Why do you suddenly say that?"
"Now that the enemy is at the gates, you really plan to wait for the governor to give the order. Why don't you hurry up and clean up the mess yourself?"
Then Yue Fei lay down and covered himself with a quilt. This was mainly because he felt a little sleepy after staying up late to read military books in the past few days. Besides, his mood had not been very good in the past few days, so he was extremely sleepy.
"No, brother, you can go to sleep after you finish your sleep..."
"If you keep talking, get out. You're making so much noise."
Yue Fei squinted his eyes and fell asleep, while Nan Wu Bu also leaned on the table and fell asleep. There were also a few servants outside the door. When they heard the noisy noise in the room, they understood something and hurried to inform their master.
"Master, those people said you didn't care and that you didn't have any sense of crisis about the current situation."
Li Zhi, who was sitting next to him, was also eating melon seeds at that time. He had no desire to rule at all, so he just sat there and listened to what the boy said.
He hadn't cared about this group of people before, and he wouldn't step in now. What Li Zhi had to do now was to take care of himself, to do one thing well and be willing to use himself as bait just to catch fish, only then would he be considered a good fisherman.
Naturally, he also tried his best to mix in the enemy's muddy water, and it was just a matter of time before the muddy water could drown this big fish.
He can wait too.
"What do you think, Governor Li?"
"Look at what the prefect said, what else can I do? Just sit and watch, right? Hahahaha."
My goodness, his smile made the servant feel scared.
"Alright, stop laughing. Now, this governor has reached the point where he has to raise his troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a single moment. Why don't you come up with a solution for this king?"
"Oh, the governor has suddenly become Your Majesty, so shouldn't we also address him affectionately as your subject?"
Of course, the two of them have joked about this bad taste many times in private. This person wants to occupy the former Liaodong area and establish himself as the King of Liaodong, and the tone of his speech seems to be that of an emperor now.
"Okay, you're the one who keeps talking, so hurry up and tell me."
"I think you really shouldn't go now. Besides, you have nothing to do with this war. If you go, you will have to take food and relief for no reason. What will our family eat after this?"
My goodness, this matter has left no chance for my colleagues in the palace to survive at all.
"So you're planning on letting me starve those people to death?"
"Good fellow, how dare you, Governor, tell me about this! If there really was a murder here, and two high-ranking officials died, His Majesty would have to investigate the case thoroughly from top to bottom."
If you check this out, it's basically like saying goodbye to this world.
"So what do you want me to do now? I'm afraid I can't go or not. Can I ask them to report me to the emperor in the palace?"
"We are just vassal states now. To put it simply, we are just the former governor of Liaodong. This is not a normal thing for them to ask for help. If we give it to them for free, won't it make them think we are a treasure trove that is easy to dig up treasures?"
What you said is absolutely true.
Otherwise, if you trust someone, whatever he says may be true, and every word he says may make sense.
"You are truly my contemporary Yuan Fang!"
Li Zhi bowed with a smile on the surface, but he was pouting in his heart.
Good fellow, I am you Yuan Fang and you are Di Renjie? You really know how to flatter yourself. Besides, if I were Yuan Fang and still could be under your command, I would have gone to His Majesty to pledge my loyalty to him long ago.
You can also get information in such a remote place.
"Prefect, raise your salary."
The prefect rubbed his head.
"Didn't I just raise your salary a few days ago? Why are you not happy with the 500-stone increase?"
"The governor raised my salary. After all, you just said that I am Yuan Fang next to you. Yuan Fang has to make plans every day, so it is normal for him to ask for a higher salary."
“Three days off a month.”
"make a deal."
Yuan Fang is so careless.
So the prefect really had no intention of going to greet him.
After two days, it turned out that his calculation was correct. Nanwu Bu could no longer sit still. It had been so many days, and he heard the news that another county governor had started a fight. No troops were sent from that side, and they were overthrown in an instant and had become the enemy's pawns. How could Nanwu Bu accept this development trend?
He had fought so hard to defend this territory, and besides, he still had a share of the pie in this border area. How could he not be angry when these guys directly snatched away all the areas he had been in charge of for many years!
"I beg your pardon, this prefect doesn't even come to greet us, but instead spends all day playing chess and drinking with the governor. Now that the border has been breached, he's still drinking!"
Li Zhi sat up and pretended to be drunk.
"This governor is the king now. How dare a small follower like you speak like that? Aren't you being disrespectful to my king—"
"Oh, you shouldn't say that now. Okay, okay, the governor is drunk. As for this visit, you must have come here for something. Just tell me."
"Money, food, and people."
The guy just asked for the same three things and didn't accept other payment methods.
"There's war going on right now. What if I rent my troops to you as a son-in-law? It's good enough if I can give them to you now. Don't even dream about it."
What I meant was that I don't have that many soldiers for the war, and what would I do if you borrowed them? I'll just lend you some, whether you're willing or not. If you're not willing, then forget it and I won't serve you.
Namo Bu probably had anticipated this outcome a long time ago.
The emperor's edict was thrown directly at him and he smiled.
"This is the imperial edict from His Majesty. Now that you have it in your hands, you probably know what it means."
How could they not know that the person holding the imperial edict was equivalent to the emperor himself being present, and they had to kneel down and kowtow no matter what?
Afterwards, the two men knelt down without explaining. When he finished reading the contents of the imperial edict, the governor was stunned for a moment and glanced at Li Zhi opposite him.
"What should I do?"
"Of course it is. Since His Majesty has spoken, how can we not agree? After all, the entire Great Qin belongs to His Majesty, so how dare we say otherwise?"
