Unfortunately, Lin Xing, a child of the Lin family, a top genius in Jiangnan, has been domineering in Jiangnan since childhood. How could he be intimidated by Huang Shanchen's words?

Besides, the Lin family is one of the masterminds when they besieged Yang Fan this time, how could they give up halfway?

Thinking of this, Lin Xing immediately sneered: "Please recognize the situation. The mountains are raging, and the number of people is less than 10,000. Although there are some soldiers in Jiangning, they can only barely protect Jiangning County."

"As Sima of Jiangning, protecting the land and safeguarding the people is his duty. If he rashly attacks the rescue of the Grand Governor, resulting in a weak defense and being taken advantage of by Shanyue, who will bear the responsibility?"

Huang Shanchen did not give in and slapped the table: "As a county magistrate, I have the power to take charge of the military and political affairs of Jiangzhan. You just send troops to rescue in advance. I will bear all the consequences. Now I order you to order all the troops and immediately go to Yuntaishan for rescue. Otherwise, I will punish you for the crime of disrespect for the order!"

Lin Xing was not afraid at all and immediately retorted: "It is the duty of the government soldiers to destroy the rebels of Shanyue. Since the court has appointed Duke of Yun Zhang Liang as the chief supervisor of Jiangnan to eliminate the Shanyue bandits, we cannot easily intervene. If the lord is really capable and capable, he will order Duke of Yun to lead troops to rescue."

Since the Tang Dynasty carried out military reform, the government soldiers and the yamen soldiers from all over the country have been divided.

The soldiers of the government were born for war, while the soldiers of the government mainly maintained local public security and iron order.

Duke Zhang Liang of Yun was the Jiangnan general manager sent by the imperial court to encircle and suppress Shanyue. It is actually reasonable to shirk it out with such a reason.

Of course, it does not mean that the yamen soldiers cannot carry out rescue. This is just Lin Xing's quibbling statement.

As soon as these words were said, Huang Shanchen was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.

The imperial court had extremely low control over Jiangnan and had no choice but to these Jiangnan gentry.

As the top leader of Jiangning, power does not mean that you have the final say that your official position is high.

Even His Majesty Li Er is helpless in appointing and removing officials from Jiangnan!

This has caused the current situation of decay in the officialdom in Jiangnan...

Seeing Huang Shanchen blushing with his face when he was choked, Fan Cheng became even more proud and retorted: "Sima is right. If you have the ability, ask Duke Yun to go to rescue him. What is the ability to suppress us with your official position?"

"Don't blame the rude officials for being rude. The lord said he would take it with all his strength, but he didn't know what to use to take it. If all the yamen soldiers were out and Jiangning was robbed by Shanyue, how could you take it? It was a joke."

"Of course, if the Lord has His Majesty's imperial edict, the emperor will never say anything..."

When Huang Shanchen almost got angry when he heard the two of them sing and yelling!

This is simply naked contempt!

The gentry in Jiangnan has insulted me too much!

Even after experiencing the Sui and Tang dynasties, he had never encountered such a shameful and annoying situation.

Anger arose from his heart, and Huang Shanchen shouted loudly: "Where is the soldiers on duty? Fan Cheng despises Shangguan and cannot command him. He killed him on the spot."

Fan Cheng has always been accustomed to being arrogant, so he never thought of leaving Huang Shanchen with any face.

In his opinion, this county magistrate is just a ruling person, and putting it here is just to give the emperor a face!

Jiangnan is Jiangnan of the Jiangnan gentry. Even if you are appointed by the emperor, where is your turn to be a county magistrate who has no foundation to point fingers?

But he didn't expect that Huang Shanchen would be so fierce today that he actually let the soldiers on duty kill him on the spot.

No matter what, this is Huang Shanchen's government office. The soldiers on duty here have been bribed by him for a long time, so naturally they carried out the order without hesitation.

Seeing the soldiers on duty draw their swords towards each other and approaching step by step, Fan Cheng's face turned pale.

In panic, he had to take a step back and avoid the slashing sword.

I didn't expect that my feet would become weak and my butt fell to the ground.

Just when Fan Cheng thought he was about to die, Sima Linxing quickly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Stop being angry! Although Fan Chanjun's words were wrong and the following was the best, but the people in the army were all rough people. Why should he have the same knowledge as him?"

"Besides, Fan Chanjun is right. Now, encircling and suppressing Shanyue is the responsibility of Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun. How can we become more and more staggered?"

"What's more, we are also worried about Jiangning, fearing that Shanyue will take advantage of the situation, so we are reluctant to send troops to rescue."

"It's better to do this. Lord will submit a report to the court. If there is an imperial edict from Your Majesty, then all the troops and horses in Jiangning will be under the command of the Lord."

"Of course, we will also implement the orders of the adults. Some stay in Jiangning to prevent accidents, and some go to rescue the governor immediately. What if the adults think?"

This is not because Lin Xing changed his mind, but because he had to do it.

He really didn't expect that this county magistrate who was usually soft and could be kneaded suddenly became angry!

No matter how arrogant and domineering the Jiangnan gentry were, Jiangnan was nominally still the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

If Huang Shanchen beheaded Fan Cheng on the spot for disrespectful orders, the Jiangnan gentry would have no choice but to do anything to him.

Even the emperor would not punish him, but would praise him more.

After all, the rescue target was the emperor's son-in-law.

Huang Shanchen may have figured this out long ago, so he is so tough today.

After Lin Xing's dissuasion, Huang Shanchen gradually calmed down and waved his hand to stop the soldiers on duty. Then he said sternly: "As for the imperial edict, I will invite you sooner or later. You should order the troops to rescue quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being in a rebellious way!"

Although he knew that Lin Xing said so just to fool him, he was willing to mobilize some of his troops and horses to satisfy Huang Shanchen.

All prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River watched Yang Fan be surrounded and ignored. Only Jiangning sent troops to rescue him was valuable. Who dares to say more?

This not only can repay Emperor Yang's kindness for knowing his favor, but also can repay Empress Xiao's past help.

After all, I have done my best.

Secondly, you can also show your face in front of the emperor.

After all, Huang Shanchen, the only one in Jiangnan, dares to send troops to support him!

...

Fan Cheng walked out tremblingly with Lin Xing's support, and was still scared at this time.

However, looking at Lin Xing beside him, for the sake of face, Fan Cheng still plucked up his courage to curse hatefully: "I will avenge today sooner or later. If you have the chance, you will definitely crush this old guy's bones and ashes..."

Seeing Huang Shanchen turning his head to look at them, Lin Xing quickly advised: "Why don't you just keep silent? You don't have to hurry up if you want to die. Now the situation is better than others, why bother to be stubborn and bring disaster upon yourself?"

Fan Cheng stared at Huang Shanchen tightly, and still nagged in a low voice: "This old man is too bullying others, I am unwilling to accept it!"

Seeing this, Lin Xing was too lazy to persuade him again.

In his opinion, since Huang Shanchen dared to blatantly oppose the Jiangnan gentry, there would definitely be no good ending.

Fan Cheng whispered a few more times before asking softly: "You really want to divide your troops to rescue me. How can you explain this to your family?"

Lin Xing said speechlessly: "My lord is already furious. I guess it is to repay the request. Mr. Wang was once a former minister of Sui Dynasty and was highly trusted by Emperor Yang. Now he is the governor of Jiangning County. I heard that Empress Xiao is also supported by Empress Xiao."

"Although Emperor Yang of Sui is gone, Empress Xiao is still there. It is well known that Yang Fan recognizes Empress Xiao as his godmother. With this relationship, Yang Fan is now besieged by Yuntai Mountain and his life is in the middle of the night. How can he not repay the kindness of knowing him?"

"If Huang Shanchen was indifferent, he would be scolded by the world as ungrateful, so he is really anxious now!"

Fan Cheng said dissatisfiedly: "But the order of the clan is to not send one army and one soldier to rescue him. Besides, the family has sent all the people to besiege Yang Fan. If we send troops there, wouldn't we deal with our own children?"

Lin Xing rolled his eyes, and was speechless: "Are you really stupid or fake? Whether to send troops or not, when will we send troops? "

"If it's not possible to solve it for another three or five days, it's not our business!"

"If you were determined not to send troops just now, you would be killed. Do you really want to die?"

"Besides, as long as there is no emperor's imperial edict, we pretend to dispatch some old, weak, sick and disabled people, without affecting the overall situation, what are we afraid of?"

Fan Cheng thought about it and felt that Lin Xing was still thoughtful.

But before the two of them had stepped out of the government gate, a group of soldiers suddenly hurried in.

Could it be that something happened?

The two looked at each other and were about to ask, but they heard the leader shouting: "The imperial edict has arrived, and officials at all levels in Jiangning came quickly to listen to the edict..."

When the officials from the government office gathered, the officials immediately read out the imperial edict.

"Officials at all levels in Jiangnan obeyed the orders, and Shanyue rebelled, and their hearts could be punished. The Duke of Wannian County and the Grand Governor of Jiangnan Yang Fan were besieged by Shanyue traitors. They ordered all prefectures and counties to lead troops to rescue. If they dare to delay, they will be executed without mercy..."

After reading the imperial edict, the officials present whispered.

Lin Xing and Fan Cheng felt even more uncomfortable as if they had taken a feces.

Just now, he said that without the emperor's imperial edict, he refused to send troops to rescue Yang Fan?

Now, the emperor's imperial edict will arrive soon.

Now that the power to transfer troops is handed over to Huang Shanchen, if he had known this, why would he be so scammered just now and be stubborn to the end!

Fan Cheng even cried even more. He almost slashed his head just now. It was really unfair!

However, they know more about the urgency of things.

Now that the imperial edict has arrived, it means that the court has sent people to rescue him.

No matter how solid the gentry of Jiangnan was, it would be impossible to prevent the soldiers from going to rescue.

It seems that only by notifying your home as soon as possible...

For the sake of the present, either retreat and blame the people of Shanyue.

Or you should kill Yang Fan quickly to achieve the goal of intimidating the emperor, so that the court would not dare to send officials to compete with their Jiangnan gentry for profit.

While all sides were fighting, Chang'an City was also full of depression that was about to come.

The imperial court suddenly appointed Li Ji as the chief marching officer of Jiangnan Road, and was raising food and grass, and dispatched Guanzhong troops to prepare to go south.

Teams of Guanzhong soldiers wearing helmets and armor were crossing the long street to the assembly place and wait quietly.

According to well-informed sources, Shanyue rebelled, and the Jiangnan Road governor was surrounded by tens of thousands of Shanyue people.
