Before that, even if he was determined to do something because of some ideas, he just thought that as long as he followed the elegant manners of the famous officials in ancient literature, plucked up his courage, thought carefully, and said a few words in the name of the official, he would be able to survive and establish a career in the troubled times.
However, the previous two failures and this success gradually made the Yutang scholar realize his own immaturity. Especially this success, it made him thoroughly understand the difficulty of the word responsibility.
You know, ever since the emperor's dragon flag appeared on the north bank of the Han River, Xiangyang City has been unstable, and undercurrents have gradually surged. And Fan Qiong ventured out of the city two days ago to see the dragon flag with his own eyes. After confirming that the emperor was personally leading the army, he basically lost his spirit and ability to act, hiding in his mansion all day, which further fueled the chaos in the city.
Otherwise, Bachelor Kobayashi would not be qualified to come out and 'bask in the sun'.
So at this time, facing such a chaotic situation, as a close official sent to Xiangzhou by the government, should he just leave it alone? What if there was a riot, a fight in the whole city, causing countless casualties, and implicated innocent people around, how could he bear it?
Besides, with such a despicable "teammate" by your side, doesn't he need to be restrained? But can he be restrained?
If he fails to restrain this military leader and lets him act recklessly, Lin Jingmo will not only feel sorry for him, but will also have to bear the responsibility?
If it's so difficult for just one city, how difficult would it be for the government to deal with the entire world which is actually in a state of chaos?
"Come here."
Thinking of this, Xiaolin suppressed his emotion and respect for the government, but decided to take responsibility. "If I ask you to do it, how are you going to do it?"
Wang Jun was about to stamp his feet and leave, but when he heard this he was overjoyed and turned around to talk about his plan.
After hearing this, Xiaolin was also confused for a moment, but he did not try to hide it. Instead, he just imitated the official tone and said a few words: "I don't understand military affairs, and I don't intend to interfere, but there are two things you must do with me!"
"I am willing to follow the scholar's orders!" Wang Jun was so surprised that he simply kowtowed in the courtyard without caring about the wet ground.
"The first rule is that we can only succeed and not fail. The plan must be truly sound before we can proceed." Scholar Kobayashi looked at him solemnly. "Otherwise, it will only affect the overall situation!"
“It’s natural.”
"Second, I know you want to gain merit in front of the emperor, but if so, I would like to remind you that the emperor has always been very strict about military discipline. He is in Jiangbei right now. Once the plan is successful, the imperial army will naturally come to the city suddenly. You must strictly enforce military discipline and control the city defense. After the plan is successful, you must not cause chaos in the city... Otherwise, you will be guilty without merit!"
"I understand the pros and cons! Even if I am a thief, I must not steal from the government. The city of Xiangyang is so close to Nanyang, how dare I let my men do whatever they want? If Scholar Lin doesn't believe me, I will swear an oath..." Wang Jun almost wanted to swear, but he was helpless when he saw Scholar Lin picked up the book and left after he finished speaking.
But no matter what, since he had received the promise, Wang Jun, who had been unable to hold back for a long time, took action immediately without any delay. That evening, with everything ready, he took the initiative to go to the Xiangyang City Prefecture Office, which many people simply avoided, and then asked to see his benefactor Fan Qiong.
As a general who holds military power in the city and a confidant promoted by himself, there is no reason for Fan Qiong not to meet him even if he is confused.
Therefore, after a moment, Wang Tongzhi, who was wearing silk clothes, came to the back hall with bare hands.
However, to his surprise, when Wang Jun arrived at the back hall, he did not see a drunkard in a disheveled state, nor did he see a mess on the ground. He did not know if it was an illusion, but Commander Wang even felt that the smell of this "General Fan" was much less... This made him quite panicked, so he kowtowed to the ground as soon as he entered the door.
Of course, after kneeling and kowtowed in the hall, Wang Jun stood up and sat down, and met Fan Qiong's almost red eyes, he felt a little more at ease.
"Why did you come to me instead of guarding the city?" Fan Qiong, wearing bright armor and with neat posture, opened his mouth with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Reporting to the commander, I am here for the city defense." Wang Jun was also used to big scenes, and knew that the so-called strategy was to go straight to the point and never expect anything perfect, so he simply spoke directly according to the original plan. "Commander, to be honest, the city is about to become unstable. If this continues, I don't know what will happen to Old Han, and the West City I lead will definitely not be able to hold on!"
Fan Qiong was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "It's rare that you still remember to tell me."
"All my wealth and glory were given to me by the Grand Commandant. I have to come even if others don't come." Wang Jun said solemnly, wrapped in a silk robe. "But this time I'm not here just for the city. The Grand Commandant must know about the city's affairs. I heard that the guards sent by the Grand Commandant at the ferry are actually a little unstable... Grand Commandant, I'm not here to be a villain. Logically speaking, the guards are absolutely reliable, but they have three shortcomings at the ferry. One is that they can't enter the city, so they are naturally wild; one is that there is no general to lead them. Several guards are fighting on their own. If one fails, the entire river defense will fail; and another is that they can see the dragon flag of the government all day long. After a few days, they basically lose their fighting spirit! In my opinion, I'm afraid that after two days, the water level will go down and the government will cross the river and they will surrender directly."
"What you said is absolutely right. I believe it too."
After listening to this, Fan Qiong sighed, then propped up his elbow on the table and then his chin, as if thinking about something, while his other hand secretly supported the knife handle under the table. "But if that's the case, how do you think you should deal with this desperate situation?"
