What am I thinking when I'm cheating on the male supporting role [Transmigration Book]

"Now?" Han Jiao hadn't finished his work of appeasement, and worried that if he left, the officials in charge of appeasement would stop giving porridge. Wouldn't this make the refugees happy again?

The attendant replied loudly: "Right now, the two princes are waiting in the camp, Mr. Han please—"

"The refugees on the mountain haven't finished eating their food, so there won't be any more troubles for the time being." Han Jiao thought over and over again, and replied, "Please report back to your Highnesses for me: Just keep the officials safe, and don't let the officers and soldiers take the initiative to go up the mountain to attack. The official duties to appease the people have not yet been completed, and I will visit His Highness after an hour."

Unexpectedly, the editor of the Imperial Academy dared to refuse the prince's summoning, and the attendant said solemnly: "His Royal Highness summoned you to the barracks to discuss matters. This is a military order, and you cannot shirk it. Please leave immediately with your subordinates, Mr. Han."

Han Jiao thought for a while, so he had to ask him to wait for a while, then walked quickly to find the Fumin official, and said with a stern look: "Master Cheng, His Royal Highness King Yan and King Ling summoned me to discuss matters in the barracks. It can be done by you, please command the guards to carry the food, and the porridge can be left to the refugees themselves, at least the first round of porridge distribution must be completed, and I will take over when I am done."

The official wondered: "Lord Han, I have already said that the food can't be moved easily. You are young, so I'm afraid you don't understand what's going on here. To tell you the truth, if the family members of the rebels can still eat the relief food, in the future If something goes wrong, don’t all the refugees think that rebellion can force the court to give them food? It’s a bad thing to start this way! So we have to wait for the cabinet’s arrangement, and we have to have a suitable reason to appease the people before we can distribute food!”

Han Jiao said: "The reason why the refugees got out of control this time is that the Fumin officials did not guide them properly, which led to the lack of communication and trust between the refugees and the court, which led to the disaster. The first step is to avoid the laziness of officials, instead of warning the world by not releasing food and killing people. Doing so will only cause future refugees to give up coming to the imperial city for help, and go directly to the surrounding counties to become bandits, and even encourage more good people Join the gang. At that time, the military expenditure and manpower needed by the court to suppress the bandits will be dozens of times more than dealing with the [-] refugees in this area."

The official was speechless, thought for a while, and still shirked his responsibility: "Mr. Han is a talented scholar with a wealth of knowledge in the Imperial Academy. He naturally has a high vision and a heart for the world, but the lower official is just a small seven-rank official. He only knows how to do things." Take care of your own duties, as for the long-term arrangements..."

"I don't have the time to continue persuading him anymore!" Han Jiao interrupted him furiously, and threatened him with harsh words: "I know, you evade the job of helping the people in every possible way, but you didn't treat me like this." The editor of the Hanlin Academy is in the eyes, but have you ever thought about it? Two days ago, I was still a low-ranking scholar in the Imperial Academy. I entered the court for less than half a year, why was I promoted to editor? Do you think I am easy to bully? Now in the barracks, the two princes summoned me to discuss matters, you are not afraid that I will stab your perfunctory behavior in front of the prince!"

The official's face turned pale, and he was startled: "Master Han, you are an upright gentleman, and this official is also ordered to do business. You don't want to complain to the prince!"

"Your Majesty has this intention." Han Jiao sternly said, "If only by being a villain can we expel officials with corpses and vegetarian meals from the imperial court, then I would rather be such a villain for the people of the world."

"You...you deceive people too much!" The official finally lost his composure.

Han Jiao said: "Master Cheng, I just need you to order the guards to bring in the food. You can say that all of these are my orders. No matter who is blamed, I, Han Jiao, swear that I will bear it alone and never involve you. But If after I leave, the porridge donation is interrupted and another civil uprising is triggered, I am afraid that if I want to take responsibility for you, I will not be able to bear it."

The official opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at Han Jiao. After a long while, he said in a trembling voice, "Then we can agree. Everything is your instruction and has nothing to do with humble positions. Please make a written statement!"

Han Jiao took a deep breath and replied loudly, "Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Down the mountain barracks.

In the camp, the censor who caused the civil uprising knelt on the ground, and King Yan was still angry, pacing back and forth, too angry to speak.

The governor who was in charge of appeasing the people was also sweating, and finally waited until King Yan stopped before he suggested in a low voice: "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to quell the chaos as soon as possible. The imperial court has distributed relief food for the people of this county more than once. Instead of being grateful, these unscrupulous people gathered together to rebel, if this matter gets to the imperial court, it may chill His Majesty's heart!"

"You pushed it clean!" King Yan pointed at the governor and said angrily, "If they really got the relief food, they still need to come to the capital to ask for help? They came all the way to the capital, and they didn't know they starved to death along the way." How many relatives have finally waited for the officers and soldiers to drive them away by force, would you be grateful if it was you!"

The chief inspector hurriedly lowered his head.

The censor who was kneeling on the ground trembled and said: "The rebellion of the refugees has become a fact. I would like to personally lead the imperial army to attack the mountains and suppress the rebellious people! Share the Lord's worries!"

"You still want to lead the troops to kill those refugees yourself?" King Yan said angrily, "I don't want to see any more corpses of refugees. Since you caused the trouble, you should solve it. The matter of leading the soldiers is up to you." You don’t need to be responsible, you go to the mountain alone for this king to plead guilty to the group of refugees, and let them know that killing the refugees indiscriminately is not an order of the imperial court, and the crime is borne by you alone!”

"Your Highness!" Yu Shi was so frightened that his face paled and begged for mercy: "If a humble official goes up the mountain alone, he will definitely be regarded as a spy, and he will be killed by the traitors before he can speak!"

"That's right!" Yan Wang said coldly: "You have no patience with the refugees, and they naturally don't leave a chance for you, which is fair."

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" The censor kowtowed to King Yan begging for mercy.

"Sixth brother, don't waste time with this beast." The third prince who was sitting at the long table in the center of the military tent said anxiously: "Hurry up and invite the two generals to come in first, discuss tactics, and minimize the casualties of refugees."

King Yan listened to the third brother's persuasion, raised his hand to let the two useless officials go out first, walked to the desk and sat down angrily, raised his head, the third brother looked at him anxiously, and the ninth brother kept his head down.

King Yan sighed, turned his head and told his attendants to invite the two generals to come in.

The two veteran generals who were waiting outside the tent walked in with their heads held high, and saluted the three princes with their fists cupped. Their bodies were as strong as they were back then.

Both of these two generals participated in the war against the Japanese, and now they are old and return to Beijing to retire. Although they have not led the army for many years, they have extremely rich combat experience, more than enough to deal with tens of thousands of refugees.

When the two were waiting outside the military tent, they had already discussed the strategy against the enemy in a low voice, and now they just waited for King Yan to speak.

King Yan just wanted to invite the two to sit down, when someone lifted the curtain and walked into the military tent.

It was Han Jiao who arrived.

"Your Highness." After not seeing King Yan for many days, Han Jiao clasped his fists in salute with a dignified expression.

The moment the eyes of the two collided, King Yan's heart ached, and he could read the sorrow in Han Jiao's eyes.

"Sir, please do it quickly. There are two generals in charge, and nothing will happen." King Yan raised his hand to signal Han Jiao to sit beside him.

The two old generals also sat down together, and after receiving inquiries from the King of Yan, they each put forward their own combat strategies and waited for the King of Yan to make a decision.

Han Jiao almost jumped up after hearing this. Compared with setting fire to the mountain, the plan of these two generals only has an advantage in environmental protection. They want to kill all [-] refugees!

King Yan frowned after hearing this, and gently reminded: "These [-] refugees are not traitors. There was a conflict yesterday because of the officials' improper behavior. They took away the relief food, but the crime is not deadly. It is best to capture them alive to appease them."

The two old generals looked at each other with dissatisfaction.

An old general euphemistically persuaded: "Your Highness, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if you have an absolute advantage in troops, you can't take it lightly. What's more, these refugees have a geographical advantage. If you ask to stay alive when you issue a military order, the refugees may break through the defense. Instead, it caused a lot of casualties to our troops.”

Another old general was even more rude: "On the battlefield, there is only the difference between the enemy and us. If you treat the rebels on the mountain as innocent people, you should not send troops to surround them. Now, the enemy and us have become opposing forces. If you feel pity for the enemy, wouldn't it be Follow Song Xianggong's "benevolence and righteousness" who refuses to attack halfway, and put our army in danger? If you want to fight, you should leave no room for it, or simply withdraw the army and let the rebels flee."

Yan Wang was so ruthlessly refuted by the two old generals, but he was not easy to get angry. After all, he specially invited these two veterans with rich combat experience.

Han Jiao couldn't bear it anymore, stretched his legs and rubbed the toes of the big boss sitting opposite him with his toes, indicating that a certain "military wizard" should come on stage and speak.

However, the big boss just retracted his long legs, avoiding the "attack range" of Han Jiao's toes.

Han Jiao was in a hurry.

Why is this salted fish bored at a critical moment!say something!

Seeing that the sixth brother was trained like a grandson by two old generals, Xie Duo was a little flustered, not daring to humiliate himself in front of the two stubborn old men.

In order to urge the big boss to appear on the stage, Han Jiao bravely said abruptly: "Do you have any other suggestions, Your Highnesses?"

Seeing that the little prodigy was going crazy, Xie Duo took a deep breath, stared at the map in the middle of the table, raised his finger to the southeast of the mountain where the refugees were hiding, and said seriously, "I think we can dig a hole here..."

"Don't interrupt." The third prince hurriedly interrupted the ninth brother in a low voice, and first praised the views of the two old generals, and then asked tactfully: Is it possible to carry out appeasement and encirclement at the same time, minimize confrontation as much as possible, and negotiate after outflanking For the top.

An old general replied: "The strategy of the two of us is also to make the refugees give up resistance as soon as possible through deterrence. If we adopt a mild and outflanking combat plan from the beginning, the refugees will probably have no fear and resist to the end."

King Yan frowned and thought about it, then asked in a low voice: "If that's the case, how many casualties are there for the refugees to stabilize the situation?"

The old general thought for a while and replied: "The final general can't give an exact guarantee. If you want to reduce casualties, you can only ask the imperial army to stay on guard for a few more days. When the food runs out, the morale of the refugees will weaken."

"The general is right." Xie Duo bit the bullet and said again, pointing to the location on the map, and continued to put forward his point of view: "You can use the opportunity of waiting for two days to let our army dig a distance here. Here..."

King Yan hurriedly coughed twice, lowered his eyes with stern eyes to signal his younger brother not to command indiscriminately, for fear that his younger brother would make a joke in front of the old general.

"Did Your Highness mean to dig through the river?" Han Jiao didn't care about the faces of the people around him, and went all out, pretending to be stupid and staring at the big boss, surprised, "What's the purpose of doing this?"

The two old generals gave Han Jiao a sideways look, seeing that he was a young boy, they were too lazy to care about it, and simply asked the Ninth Prince to finish his sentence.

Both of them are veterans who have made illustrious military exploits for the imperial court, so it is not wrong to point out the Ninth Prince's mistakes later on.

It's time for the little prince to understand that military affairs are not for laymen to talk about at will.
