Chapter 1407 Empty City Plan?

Mao Gui was surprised when he heard Qin Shaoyou's words.

The imperial decree of the Great Xia Kingdom is such a child's play, can anyone write it?

Or is it that this group of red-clothed emissaries are domineering to the point of daring to pretend?

Mao Gui hesitated, not knowing whether to continue asking.

But when he saw that handsome general, a person really flashed out, put his hand in his mouth, and whistled.

A war horse came galloping from a distance and stopped in front of this person.

And this person took out a roll of yellow brocade embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes from the bag on the horse's back.

This brocade is of extraordinary value at first glance, and it is very similar to the imperial decree in the opera.

With Mao Gui's stunned expression, the man quickly wrote a line on the brocade, and then took out another seal and stamped it on it.

After finishing the work, the man sent the "imperial decree" to Qin Shaoyou, and after he saw it and nodded, he directly stuffed the scroll of brocade into Mao Gui's hands without waiting for the ink to dry off.

Mao Gui hadn't read any books and didn't know many characters, but he could still recognize his name and the word 'Ba Zong'.

After receiving the 'imperial decree', he subconsciously looked down, and indeed he saw these words in the brocade.

Just when Mao Gui was surprised and hesitated, Qin Shaoyou spoke again:

"Our red-clothed envoys are the emperor's own army, this time we came to the southern border to quell the chaos, the emperor authorized us to do things cheaply, and have the right to kill and seize!

Therefore, although the imperial decree was not written by the emperor himself, the whole court recognized it.

You keep it well, and when things happen in southern Xinjiang, take it to the Yamen of the Chief Secretary of Dianzhou in exchange for an official appointment document from the Ministry of Officials. "

After hearing Qin Shaoyou's explanation, Mao Gui finally let go of the hesitation and worry in his heart, and no longer doubted the authenticity of this 'imperial decree'.

Under the envious eyes of the soldiers and generals around him, he carefully hid the "imperial decree" in his arms, cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your attention, my lord, I will send an order to recall the head of Ashankui, ah bah, recall the troops sent by the traitor Ashankui.

Just one thing, I don't know if adults have thought about it? The troops sent by Ashankui are joining forces with the troops of other chieftains, and once they withdraw, it will surely arouse the vigilance of other chieftain troops..."

Mao Gui's ability to say these words shows that he is sincerely contributing, and he is thinking for Qin Shaoyou and the court.

Qin Shaoyou said with a smile: "It's okay, you go and call back the troops sent by Ashankui. As for other things, we have our own considerations and preparations."

He wanted to recall the native soldiers, spread the news, let people know that Ashankui had been killed, make the chieftain coalition forces suspect each other, and let the people behind the chaos in southern Xinjiang show up to find them!

These people hide in the dark, not only difficult to find, but also more dangerous.

Only by scaring the snake out of the grass and forcing them out can it be better handled and resolved.

Of course, just pacifying a place like Pingnanguan, although it can attract the attention of people behind the scenes, it is not enough to force them out.

So Qin Shaoyou didn't plan to stay at Pingnan Pass for a long time.

He wants to hurry up and put down more rebellious chieftains.

Only in this way can Fang be able to catch the opponent by surprise.

Only in this way can the people behind the chaos in southern Xinjiang come to look for them regardless of careful layout and judgment, thus revealing their flaws.

However, before leaving Pingnanguan, Qin Shaoyou and the others still made a series of arrangements.

In addition to promoting a few local generals to control the soldiers and maintain order in the city, Qin Shaoyou and others quietly set up several traps in the ruins of the chieftain's yamen.

According to Qin Shaoyou's judgment, once the people who provoked the war in southern Xinjiang knew what happened here at Pingnanguan, they would probably send people or even come over to investigate in person to determine their strength and identity.

The chieftain's yamen, where fierce fighting broke out, is the best place to investigate.

If you set up a trap here, even if you can't hurt the other party, you can still find some clues, so that they can follow the clues and find out the other party.

After setting up the trap, Daoist Qiu Shi left some Gu worms behind to serve as scouts.

Qin Shaoyou took advantage of this opportunity to find a land shrine and a Town God's Temple in the city, and lit incense candles.

In the past few years, the imperial court vigorously promoted the Sinicization policy in the territory of these chieftains in southern Xinjiang. In addition to establishing official schools and spreading Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were also introduced.

It's a pity that after Emperor Jianwu came to power, these policies were either abandoned or cancelled, which hindered the Sinicization here in southern Xinjiang for a while, and failed to reform the land and return it to the local people.

However, temples such as the Earth Temple and the Town God's Temple have been preserved.

It is even quite popular among the people.

As Qin Shaoyou burned incense in the Town God's Temple and Earth Temple in Pingnan Pass, Cai Guizhong also lit up the 'map' here, and he could borrow the authority of the City God in Pingnan Pass at any time to observe and gain insight into the situation here.

It's a pity that there is no mountain temple in Pingnanguan, which makes Gunshan Jun feel that he has nowhere to use his strength.

Seeing this, Cui Yougui comforted him, "At least you have temples elsewhere, unlike me, up to now there is no temple dedicated to True Monarch Bai Zha...Those who have received my favor are so uninteresting. "

After Qin Shaoyou heard it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, thinking, isn't this nonsense? All the people who received your "favor" from True Monarch Hundred Bombs were all killed, so how could they possibly build temples to worship you? It's almost like digging your grave.

After finishing these things, Qin Shaoyou and others rode their horses, galloped out of Ping'an South Pass, and rushed towards another chieftain's territory nearby.

When they left, they also strictly ordered the soldiers in Pingnan Pass not to take the opportunity to make trouble, otherwise, without waiting for them to come back, the Gu worms they released would make the soldiers experience the torture that life would be worse than death.

The chieftain territory closest to Pingnanguan is in Yonghua County in the northwest, and the chieftain there is called Tushan.

On the way to Yonghua County, Taoist Qiu Shi was thinking about how to deal with the weird mother-child Gu, so that he could take some precautions in advance.

Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui made a number of paper figurines while they were on the road, just in case.

Soon, a group of people entered Yonghua County.

According to the information obtained by Qin Shaoyou and the others, Tushan, the chieftain of Yonghua County, is proficient in witchcraft and can communicate with ghosts and beasts.

So after entering the range of Yonghua County, everyone cheered up, were very vigilant and careful, and even used supernatural items such as mimicry orders.

I'm afraid that a negligence will reveal his whereabouts, scare the snakes, and make Tu Shan take precautions or escape early.

Qin Shaoyou and the others rushed all the way to Yonghua County without any accidents.

However, Yonghua County is quiet, there is no sound at all.

It was daytime at this moment, and it was obviously unreasonable to be so silent.

Moreover, the gates of the county town are clearly open, but no one comes and goes.

Qin Shaoyou and the others looked inside along the open city gate, but they didn't see a single figure.

What's happening here?

Na Tushan knew about their arrival in advance, so did they stage an empty city plan here?
