On the Importance of Finishing Work

Shi Yue looked at this group of teary-eyed officials, and finally gave up the next paragraph, so as not to make everyone cry in a while.

"This is what I mean, what do you think?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, and it was Liu Zhu who came to look for someone earlier who spoke first, "I wait and follow my lord."

Shi Yue nodded and looked around.

Everyone looked at each other, and followed Comrade Liu Zhu, "I would like to follow your lord".

The entire lobby is filled with a tragic atmosphere of "the wind is rustling and the water is cold".

Shi Yue: ...

! !What the hell is this called? !

He raised his hand and pressed his twitching forehead, and said in a slow voice: "Don't worry, everyone. I have seen that General Zhao has several counties, but there are no refugees fleeing nearby. It can be seen that although he is powerful in combat, he is not bloodthirsty. The brave man...if he opens the city gates, he will definitely treat you well...when the time comes, everything will be handed over, and the matter of appeasing the people and placing soldiers...will all depend on you."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the room was stagnant again.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and realized that even if Guangping County has changed people to take care of it, the affairs below really need people to do it. Thinking about it this way, they seem to be quite safe.

However, after they breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes fell on their own county guard again... their faces became serious again.

Shi Yue: ...

He doesn't want to know what these people are thinking now.

Since there is no objection to the decision to surrender, the next thing is to send an envoy to communicate.Then go back to each house and prepare the things you need to use, such as white cloth, white clothes and so on.

When Liu Zhu's wife, Qian Shi, heard the news, she rummaged through Su Yi at home, "Be careful when the city gate opens... you should shrink back, you should shrink back, Hide and hide... Don't be fooled by those useless loyalty, do whatever they tell you to do... It's been a while, your more serious temper can be put away..."

Liu Zhu answered yes with a "hmmmm".

But Qian Shi shed tears as she straightened his belt, "You can come back well... Tie'er is still young... You will... not come back this time, it's really... really They forced our mother and son to death..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Zhu covered her mouth with his hand, moved his fingers, wiped her tears, and persuaded, "Don't think about those useless things, my lord said it in the yamen just now. , then General Zhao is not a bad guy, we have all surrendered, why does he have to kill more people?"

Qian was still crying softly, "Those murderers who suffered thousands of knives don't know how many lives they have in their hands. Who knows what they think... what do they think?!"

Liu Zhu raised his arms to hug her again, and said, "If you think about it this way, even if they take over, they still have to do something with their legs, right? They just came in, and they were blind... they always have to Someone led him. We have all surrendered, even if we lead him and do things for them, we are all our own people, so they will not kill their own people, right?"

Qian didn't know whether to believe it or not, so she responded with a soft sob.

When they were about to leave, the two bid farewell with red eyes, and Qian said again: "You said you people are fine, then Mr. Xu..."

Liu Zhu remained silent.

Qian Shi choked again, sobbing: "Creating a crime..."

It is rare to have a good official in Guangping...

This world really does not give good people a way out.

Shi Yue didn't know yet, his fate had already been arranged minute by minute by his subordinates.

The white flag on the top of the city had already been hung, and Shi Yue led a group of subordinate officials in white clothes and tied white cloth to stand at the gate of the city.

The broken rocks and logs that were originally at the gate of the city were cleared away, the heavy wooden gate was slowly opened, and the siege party outside the gate slowly entered, with a young man riding a horse in front.

Shi Yue took the lead and knelt down.

——Not surprisingly, I heard a choking sound from behind.

Shi Yue was unable to complain about this, and each of them was too full of emotion.

Although the original body miraculously managed Quang Binh into a fat and juicy little sheep with a pack of wolves around.But after all, he is the governor of a county, so he still has a little understanding of the outside situation.

After deducting the slander of "blue-faced fangs" and "serving babies with wine" that sounded like rumors, Shi Yue still roughly deduced the character of General Zhao who was attacking the city.

——In a nutshell, he is an impulsive young man.

His father, Zhao Gui, was the original prefect of Xuzhou, but what happened later passed away suddenly, and the heir was not his son, but another "appointed by the imperial court" official with a foreign surname.

The original body felt that there was nothing wrong with it, after all, before the chaos in this world, the prefect was originally appointed by the imperial court to do it, but there was no such thing as a son inheriting his father's career.

But this point is extremely unreasonable now. Shi Yue guessed a little bit, and he knew that Zhao Gui should be inferior in the competition process, and Xuzhou was just handed over to others.

Now Zhao Xiushi who is besieging the city, that is, Zhao Gui's son, recruited soldiers from who knows where, and fought back... This is to avenge his father.

According to this situation, since the goal of this little general Zhao is to take down Xuzhou and become the prefect of Xuzhou, now that he has surrendered so simply and neatly, it is still very possible to continue to hold his original official position, and of course demotion is not ruled out Or the possibility of jail time.

... The specifics can only be confirmed after he has met this little General Zhao.

But he never expected that the first thing the other party said when they saw him was, "Are you Xu Huaiji?"

Shi Yue dug into the original body's memory, but he couldn't find the intersection between the original body and the young general. He was quite puzzled, but he still replied blankly: "I'm right."

The strong wind swept across the cheeks, and the tip of the silver halberd pointed directly at Shi Yue's eyebrows, "Let's have a fight."

Shi Yue: "..."

Zhao Xiushi didn't give Shi Yue a chance to refuse, he got off his horse and pointed the tip of his halberd obliquely to the side.

Shi Yue didn't move for a moment, he felt that his previous attributive "a little impulsive" was too euphemistic.He could have left out the "a little bit", this is a purebred fool.

——Competing against the loser at the surrender ceremony? !Does it make sense to lose half a point?

——Can this world be a little more normal? !

The original body must be famous for being promoted as the sheriff. The most famous one is that when he was 16 years old, he killed a tiger with his bare hands.

That year, An Guogong had just "died of illness".

The little emperor is busy appointing new officials in the court, hoping to fight the old officials.He was also very resistant to the talent selection system that was already on the right track, so he continued to use the old system, allowing the states to recommend talents based on their reputation.

Yuan himself came across this juncture, because he was recommended for killing a tiger, and the court wanted to build momentum.

——The reputation of bravery spreads far and wide in Xuzhou.

When Shi Yue thought about it, he suddenly understood why the little fat sheep in Guangping County had been able to be stable for so many years.

... Feelings are dressed in wolf's clothing, or the most ferocious kind.

However, the original body was really not very courageous.

After the time when I encountered a tiger in the mountains, although I fought hard to survive, I was so scared that I shivered at home for more than half a month.

After that, the mediocre person became even less courageous, and would be frightened at the slightest sign of trouble.

But this person has a facial paralysis, except for his elder brother who was still alive back then who knew a thing or two about his younger brother's situation, the rest of the people, etc., really couldn't tell.

……

Zhao Xiushi didn't move for a long time when he saw it, his expression didn't change, and he felt annoyed.

He is conceited about his talent, and he studies hard and practice hard. Although he dare not pretend to be a "genius", he has no rivals among his peers.But when his father recommended talented warriors from the prefectures and counties, he didn't mention him at all.

He broke into his father's study to ask for an explanation, but was compared with this person by his father, and he was quite ridiculed.

Even though he is getting older in the future, he also understands his father's painstaking efforts...

——After An Guogong passed away, the little emperor was eager to seize power, and the government was in turmoil. It was really not a good time to become an official.

But he understands intellectually... This doesn't affect his emotional view of Xu Huaiji—both, envy, and hate!

Such a rare opportunity this time, of course he couldn't help but propose a competition.

Several veterans around Zhao Xiushi frowned slightly, apparently disapproving of his young master's approach, but these people also knew Zhao Xiushi's knot in his heart, and did not stand up to dissuade him.

——With them on the left and right, they will not let the young master suffer.

Even... the hearts of the people in Guangping County are in Xu, and this encounter with the young master is also a good opportunity to establish his prestige.

Before Shi Yue knew it, he had inexplicably carried the big pot of "other people's child", and was arranged to be a signboard of "Liwei".

He was provoking Zhao Xiushi at this moment, but he just subtracted N points from his evaluation in the bottom of his heart, and refused with a stiff face: "The general is tired from traveling all the way, why don't you sit in the city first, Huaiji has prepared a banquet for you Everyone, take the wind and wash away the dust."

Zhao Xiushi didn't take this step at all, instead he moved his arm slightly, pointed at Shi Yue's feet with the tip of the halberd, and said provocatively with a cold face: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, let's compare first...or, are you afraid?" ?”

--Afraid?

Shi Yue said bluntly, "I'm not good at martial arts, so I'm no match for General Zhao."

It is a tactful admission that I am "scared".

He didn't feel that he lost face at all, he surrendered, so what face is there?Face is something that cannot be eaten.Compared to this, fighting with Zhao Xiushi is of course more troublesome.

It becomes clearer when you say different words with different expressions, and the effect is completely different.

Concerned about the original owner's facial paralysis, he tried his best to speak calmly so as not to make people feel provocative.

But obviously, for General Zhao, this had no effect, his face turned green, and he swept the heavy halberd straight towards Shi Yue's neck.
