Chapter 1300 Secret Letter

While everyone in the hall was talking, Chu Huan didn't say a word.

When everyone calmed down, Chu Huan finally said: "This governor immediately dispatched 8,000 troops from Shuoquan and quickly transferred to Qingtang and Qingtang front line. Xuanyuan Shengcai was fully commanded and told him that this governor would go to Qingtang soon and take charge in person."

Everyone was stunned, and Xu Shao had already asked, "Duke Chu, are we going to start a war with Beishan?"

"I don't want to cause trouble. Since the matter has come, I won't be afraid." Chu Huan said lightly: "Xiao Huanzhang wants to use troops to Xiguan, so I certainly have no reason to avoid war."

"Then the Hezhou front line?"

"Send people to closely monitor the movements of Tianshan Mountain, and immediately send 3,000 more troops to Hezhou." Chu Huan said without hesitation: "If the Tianshan Army really wants to attack Hezhou, defend Hezhou City to the death, and wait for reinforcements!"

Everyone was confused, thinking that Shuoquan had only 20,000 troops and more than 10,000 were transferred, and the rest could only guard Shuoquan. Even if the troops were added to Hezhou, and the original troops in Hezhou were less than 10,000. Although he could resist for a while, Hezhou had no chance to resist it in the face of tens of thousands of well-trained Tianshan Iron Cavalry.

The reinforcements that Chu Huan mentioned came from, but I don’t know where they would transfer the troops guarding Shuoquan to Hezhou at that time? Since this is the case, transferring all the troops guarding Shuoquan over may not be the opponent of the Tianshan Army. The situation is already extremely serious.

Pang Liu also understood this very well and couldn't help asking: "Duke Chu, where do we have reinforcements?"

"If Beishan Army is solved, there will naturally be reinforcements." Chu Huan said lightly.

Everyone was even more surprised, thinking that although the combat effectiveness of the Beishan Army was indeed weaker than that of the Xiguan Army, Beishan came in full swing. Not to mention that it could quickly resolve Beishan, even the outcome was unpredictable. How could it go to Hezhou to support it in time?

At this moment, Chu Huan saw someone waving to her at the side door from the corner of her eyes, but it was Su Niang.

He was a little surprised. When he thought to hold a meeting, the mansion knew the rules and never dared to disturb him. Why did Di Su Niang suddenly greet him at this time?

He knew something was wrong, so he raised his hand to signal everyone to wait for a while, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" He returned to the Governor's Mansion, and before his butt was hot, he encountered Beishan problems and had no time to talk to Su Niang.

However, Su Niang had already taken out a letter from her arms and handed it to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was stunned and took the letter. When he saw that the letter had no signature and did not state who was collecting it, he asked softly: "What is this?"

Su Niang whispered: "The day before yesterday, I went to the market to buy hot charcoal. I suddenly met someone. I was very strange. I suddenly stuffed this letter into my hands and told me that it was of great importance and I handed it to you so that I could not let others know."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked, "What does that person look like?"

"It was snowing at that time. He was dressed thickly and wearing a hat. He couldn't see what he looked like." Su Niang whispered: "He said a few words and left in a hurry. You have never come back. I'll hide this letter on myself."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "I understand, you go and rest first."

"Erlang, has something big happened?" Su Niang saw the officials in the lobby of the Governor's Office, and the atmosphere was solemn, and she felt that things were not simple.

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing, it's just some official duties to be handled." Without further explanation, she opened the letter, opened it and scanned it, her brows slightly locked up, and gradually stretched out again. Soon, she kneaded the letter into a ball, held it in the palm of her hand, and her expression became serious again. She thoughtful, and Su Niang didn't dare to ask too much. Seeing Chu Huan pondering for a moment, she went to the lobby.

In the lobby, everyone was whispering, and many people looked very serious.

With the promulgation of Chu Huan's various policies, Xiguan began to get on track. Both agriculture and commerce began to show signs of recovery. However, at this critical moment, Beishan dispatched its troops and the situation was tense, which caused the good situation in Xiguan to face a huge threat.

Seeing Chu Huan return to his seat, everyone suddenly calmed down again.

"Master Wei, continue to borrow grain and sublease, don't delay. When next spring plowing, the grain must be supplied, but there is a difference, you are the only one asking." After Chu Huan sat down, he looked at Wei Wuji, gave a deep order, and then looked at Pei Ji, "Mr. Pei, in Hezhou, in addition to transferring 3,000 troops from the Pingxi Army guarding Shuoquan to increase the strength, the Fengzi camp of Xu Shao and Xu also transferred to the camp. Han Ying and Huang Yutan were guarding there. After Commander Xu went there, he obeyed Han Ying's order!"

Xu Shao immediately stood up and bowed, "I will obey the order!"

"Lu Cunxiao!"

Lu Cunxiao, who was sitting in the hall, was stunned and looked at Chu Huan.

After the battle of Hulu Village, Lu Cunxiao surrendered to Chu Huan and obeyed the orders under Chu Huan's tent. Although Chu Huan was transferred to Pei Ji's Imperial Guard, he did not give him any official position.

The meeting was held today, and Chu Huan specially ordered the famous general Lu Cunxiao to bring him along, but Lu Cunxiao was also a little nervous.

He was born into a bandit and followed General Qiu to become a bandit in Hulu Village. Although he eventually surrendered to Chu Huan, he never knew what his future was.

In addition to him, there were hundreds of other minions who were originally affiliated with Hulu Village who were willing to stay. Some of them were trained with the Imperial Guards, but they were not officially incorporated into the Imperial Guards.

The army did not lack food and drink supplies for them, but they never gave a clear word. From Lu Cunxiao, they didn't understand how Chu Huan would treat him.

He came to the meeting today, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, Chu Huan suddenly clicked his name, which surprised him a little. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Mo..." He originally wanted to call himself "Mo General", but suddenly he thought that he had not been granted official position. According to the truth, he was just a commoner now. He paused and changed his words: "The grass is here!"

"Lu Cunxiao, I ordered you to immediately serve as the commander of the Ministry of War." Chu Huan said seriously: "Shuoquan dispatched 8,000 troops to Qingtang County. On the way, the 8,000 troops will be commanded by you and handed over to General Xuanyuan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

In fact, it is not surprising that the position of commander of the Ministry of War is a downward official. The official is a declining official, not even an official, but just an official. Lu Cunxiao fought in Hulu Village and was extremely brave. Even the officers and soldiers thought that this person was very powerful.

Chu Huan was elusive and distant, and never asked about his background. After conquering Lu Cunxiao, everyone knew that Lu Cunxiao would be used by Chu Huan sooner or later, so today he was suddenly appointed as the commander of the Ministry of War, and everyone was not shocked.

However, Chu Huan wanted to hand over the eight thousand soldiers transferred to Qingtang to Commander Lu Cunxiao. Although after he led the troops to Qingtang, the command power would be handed over to Xuanyuan Shengcai, this decision was beyond everyone's expectations.

Lu Cunxiao was also a little dazed, thinking that something was wrong with his ears. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Chu Huan stared at Lu Cunxiao. Seeing that Lu Cunxiao's lips were squirming and he didn't say anything, he smiled coldly and said, "What? Don't you dare?"

When Lu Cunxiao heard this, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I have died once, and there is nothing to dare to do. Since Duke Chu handed over his troops to Beiye, Beiye must have brought him all the entirely to Qingtang!"

He was appointed as the commander of the Ministry of War at this time, so he could naturally call himself a "lower position".

"Okay!" Chu Huan said: "Tomorrow morning, order all the troops and horses to Qingtang. When you arrive in Qingtang, tell Xuanyuan Shengcai that all the troops and horses will be deployed in Qingtang County. We should not cross the border and enter Beishan territory. Once the Beishan army advances into our Xiguan, we will not give up any inch of land."

Lu Cunxiao said in a deep voice: "I am humble and receive the order!"

Everyone looked at each other, but since Chu Huan had already arranged this way, no one said anything.

"Master Fan." Chu Huan looked at Fan Xuan, the head of the Ministry of Rites. "You will set off with the army tomorrow. As you said, go to see Xiao Huanzhang and ask why he wanted to transfer his army to Danyang. If he said that Xiao Jingqian's death was related to our Xiguan, then ask him what evidence he had?"

Fan Xuan stood up and said, "The emperor accepts the order!"

"Mr. Gongsun, Chief Wei, speed up the matter of borrowing grain sublease." Chu Huan looked at Gongsun Chu and Wei Wuji again, "Drop the grain from the gentry warehouse into the official warehouse as soon as possible and prepare for the grain!"

"Duke Chu, is the purpose of garrisoning grain to rent grain to the people or to transport it to the front line?" Wei Wuji said seriously: "If it is rented to the people, the officials will continue to implement the policy of equal land order. If these grains are to be used as military rations, the officials will be prepared to transport the grain to the front line. However, the officials must remind the governor Chu that if these grains are sent to the front line, the equal land order will be frustrated. Whether it is lending grain to the gentry in the government or the people waiting to plant grains in the ground, there will be a sensation. If that is true, the turmoil in the rear will be more dangerous than the war on the front line."

"Mr. Wei said very much." Chu Huan said: "You can do it according to Juntian Ce's policy, and you don't need to worry too much about the rest."

"The official is here to receive the order!"

"It is not appropriate to exaggerate the matter of transferring troops in Beishan for the time being." Chu Huan said: "Although Beishan is transferring troops to Danyang, it does not mean that it will invade Xiguan. I am worried that there will be people with ulterior motives and erotic things at this time. Lord Gongsun, you still need to arrange this matter and beware of someone in Shuoquan's life!"

"I understand!"

"Since that's the case, let's disperse first, go down and prepare for each of you." Chu Huan ordered everyone to retreat, but said to Pei Ji: "Mr. Pei is here to stay, I have something to give."

After everyone stepped down, Pei Ji looked grim and stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, is Xiao Jingqian's death really related to you?"

Chu Huan did not answer immediately, but handed Pei Ji the letter that had just been kneaded into pieces.

Pei Ji took the letter and looked carefully. He looked surprised on his face. He raised his head, "Is Xiao Jingqian really the one you sent to kill?" He frowned again and said, "There is no signature on this letter, who wrote it?"

"Xiao Heng!" Chu Huan lowered his voice. Pei Ji was the person he trusted the most. "Xiao Huanzhang's nephew, this letter was sent by him."

"Xiao Heng?" Pei Ji was stunned again, "Is this person trustworthy?"
