Chapter 163: Is Xie Yuchuan sometimes naughty?
Xie Wuying was stunned after hearing this, and probably hadn’t turned around for a while.
Zhang Dayi said in detail: "The suppression of bandits was originally a great achievement, but disasters have occurred in Daliang in recent years, and people's livelihood has been difficult. It is not uncommon for refugees from various places to occupy mountains and become kings. In this way , Suppressing bandits is mostly a waste of effort, it is better to raise tigers and scare the neighbors."
Not only Xie Wuying listened carefully to his words, but also Xie Wenjie, who was not far away, I couldn't help but come closer, intending to listen to Mr. Zhang's answer.
The teenage boy is starting to grow up, and originally planned to learn martial arts and become a member of the emperor's family.
Before I got off the field to take the exam, I was immediately hit by a raid on my house!
Exiled to three thousand people, the two of them should have experienced heartache and suffering along the way, but they did not expect that the Xie family god appeared to protect them. Instead, the hardships and hardships on the exile road were covered up by the inscrutability of the gods. The two of them had no time to feel sorry for themselves before they worshiped the Xie family gods enthusiastically.
Compared with other people who have lived in the light and dark rules of official circles for a long time, Xie Wuying and Xie Wenjie still have the ambition of young people to make the country strong.
But when it comes to matters where profit comes first in reality, the two of them only know one but not the other.
When Xie Yuchuan said, "It is better to suppress bandits than to raise tigers to cause trouble," Xie Wuying frowned lightly, with half-understanding in his eyes, but he seemed to understand. However, Xie Wenjie, a scholar with a serious temperament, heard Xie Yuchuan speak these words calmly.
He was slightly surprised at first, but then he cleverly understood the subtext. When he figured it out a little bit, he was stunned and said in disbelief: "This place is not close to Beijing, how dare you be so bold?"
Zhang Dayi smiled and looked at Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan pondered for a while and said: "It is precisely because we are not far from the emperor's feet that we can do things easily. Otherwise, if the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, occupying the mountain as the king and intercepting the passing by, it will be more dangerous."
Xie Wuying seemed to understand a little bit. He raised his thumb and pointed behind his ear.
"Isn't that the Min family caravan following behind them pitiful?"
Xie Wuying's eyebrows did not change, but her eyes became much deeper.
“Five years ago, there was a drought in the northwest, and people in Ji and Rong States were starving all over the country. The prefect of Shunzhou in the northwest reported to the court, asking for disaster relief. The court’s treasury was empty, and there was no relief money. Even the border troops were in March. Without food and salary, the Xie family had no choice but to raise their own food and salary to guard the border. Unfortunately, the Xie family was unable to take care of the livelihood of the people in Shunzhou Prefecture. The disaster was severe, refugees were everywhere, and banditry was frequent at that time..."
Xie Yuchuan's voice was low and hoarse, with a faint echo. Tu Hua was "next to him". He was originally waiting for the system to check for defects and upgrade them to check the status. While waiting, he suddenly heard Xie Yuchuan talking about In the past, I couldn't help but "get together" a little bit.
Xie Yuchuan was talking when his words suddenly stopped.
A few people close to me asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Xie Yuchuan said, "Where were you talking about just now?"
The aroma was slightly strong, and he felt dazed for a moment.
Xie Wuying reminded: "Shunzhou Prefecture is prone to bandits."
Xie Yuchuan tapped his chin and talked as he walked. A few people chatted in a low voice, but the Xie family guards saw The young general was conversing with the two young masters, and consciously spread to the side, keeping the other people a little further apart.
During the day, the chirping of insects, birds, and voices could be heard all the way. The prisoners in the team woke up from running around, talking, quarreling, and buzzing with noise.
On the contrary, it makes a few people gather together to chat, which is not surprising.
Xie Yuchuan seemed to realize something, but he calmly ignored the move of "getting closer" to the god and continued to chat with the two clan brothers about the past.
“Several important towns around Shunzhou Prefecture were robbed by bandits one after another, causing great panic among the people. At that time, there was a natural disaster, and many people left their homes to escape.”
“Shun The prefecture magistrate led people to investigate the case and found that there was something fishy about the banditry. It turned out that several local gentry colluded to take advantage of the chaos and plunder the farmland and property. "
After hearing this, Xie Wenjie sighed. , "Are you not afraid of thunder and lightning to make a fortune in troubled times?"
Zhang Dayi laughed and said, "It is easy to get rich in troubled times."
Xie Wuying asked: "What happened next?"
"The prefect of Shunzhou found out the grievances behind it and was unable to suppress it, so he worried for several nights I don’t know who got the idea at that time, so he came to the camp commander’s tent.” Looking at Xie Wuying is like looking at a cute child. Xie Wuying scratched his head, "Sixth brother, don't show off."
Xie Yuchuan chuckled.
Tu Hua noticed that at that moment, a rare mischievous look flashed across Xie Yuchuan's eyes.
Xie Yuchuan laughed and said, "No."
A few people stared at him attentively.
Xie Yuchuan seemed to remember an interesting story from the past, "The prefect of Shunzhou got advice from his counselors and came to the border army to invite a group of officers and soldiers to go back and rob."
"Huh?!"
"Invite officers and soldiers to rob?" "
Xie Yuchuan nodded, "Since those squires can drive the robbers behind their backs, the prefect of Shunzhou wants to follow this example and defeat the enemy with force. "
Xie Wuying's eyes widened with an expression on his face. Very shocked.
Tu Hua felt like it was written all over his face: Is this okay?
Xie Wenjie's expression became much better. He pondered for a moment and praised: "This move is dangerous, but it is very effective. After all, the bandits are a mob, and the officers and soldiers are indeed well-trained. When the two sides face off, the victory or defeat is determined."
After saying that, he frowned and said: "But isn't it dangerous for the prefect of Shunzhou to be like this?"
Xie Yuchuan said lightly: "The Xie family helps him, he is confident."
When the two teenagers heard these words coming from Xie Yuchuan's mouth, they didn't know what to say.
Did the Xie family have such power at that time?
Zhang Dayi seemed to realize what the two of them were thinking, and said calmly: "The disaster in the northwest was really serious at that time, and the court couldn't take it into consideration. At that time, only the Xie family's thunderous tactics could stabilize the world."
"The Xie family must have done it as a last resort." Zhang Dayi now thinks about that situation, and this should be the explanation.
Xie Yuchuan said lightly: "What the court meant, the Xie family didn't care much at that time."
Looking back now, who can know what Xiahou Jie had in mind at that time.
Xie Yuchuan now no longer wants to think about Emperor Longqing's plan.
Facts have proved that the Xie family made a risky move at that time, but it was also a good move.
Tu Hua saw a hint of sadness on Xie Yuchuan's face.
At that time, it was probably the most difficult time for the Xie family.
How old was Xie Yuchuan at that time?
Is he already on the battlefield in the northwest?
Xie Wuying asked: "What happened to the squires in the end?"
Xie Yuchuan laughed: "What else can we do, we can only allow them to rob the people in disguise, but not allow the officers and soldiers to pretend to be bandits to force them to provide disaster relief?"
As soon as this statement came out, several people were all happy.
Tu Hua also smiled.
Xie Wuying turned his head and suddenly said: "Sixth Brother wants to say that the banditry on Panlong Ridge is also a man-made disaster?"
"It's not impossible." Xie Yuchuan He said calmly.
