Chapter 439: Confrontation


When Li Qian opened his eyes again, he felt hazy.

How he wished that everything he heard before was false and everything was just a dream.

But the sad faces of the classmates in front of him told him that this was not a dream, it was all real.

All the more than 300 people in Taoning Village were massacred by the Tatars.

Of course his parents are among them.

Those are his beloved parents.

He felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and was speechless.

Seeing his distracted look, his classmates who had been friends with him in the past couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Ru, you have to cheer up."

"Yes, brother Ru, since the tragedy has happened, please forgive me and accept it."

"Brother Ru, don't worry.

General Cao will never sit idly by and let the Tatars pay with their blood."

"Yes, I, Ming'erlang, am not someone to be bullied.

I will make them pay with blood."

“Thank you very much” Li Qian's throat was hoarse and he said this sentence with great difficulty.

"Li is so useless that he can't even protect his parents."

"Brother Ru, why don't we jointly submit a letter asking Cao Junmen to send troops to suppress the Tartars?"

"Yes, we jointly submitted a letter" "Brother Ru, let you take the lead."

Li Qian felt his whole body trembling, his clenched fists stretched out and clenched again, and his joints made a creaking sound.

"Okay, I, Mr.

Li, will come up with this idea."

"Cao Junmen, something serious has happened."

In the General Military Mansion, Cao Fengnian's confidant Sun Zhang was so worried that he was sweating profusely and knelt down in front of Cao Fengnian to report.

Cao Fengnian frowned and said: "How is it appropriate to look so panicked?

Could it be that the sky is falling or that the Tatar army has already arrived at the city?"

Sun Zhang hurriedly said: "Reporting to Cao Junmen, it is the students from the mansion.

About a hundred of them gathered outside the General Military Mansion, saying they wanted to petition."

"petition" When Cao Fengnian heard this, he was furious: "What kind of person did they invite a bunch of rotten scholars who are not diligent and indifferent to food and grain?

Why did they invite me to the head of their petition?"

It's no wonder that Cao Fengnian was angry.

The students in the government have their own academic officials under their jurisdiction.

Even if the academic officer they invited cannot make the decision, they should still go to the prefect.

What's the point of looking for him, Commander Yunyang?

Didn’t this mean that we went to the wrong temple and worshiped the wrong Bodhisattva?

"Cao Junmen, these scholars are unreasonable.

They are shouting that Cao Junmen must make the decision, otherwise" “What if not?”

Cao Fengnian raised his eyebrows, his gaze could kill someone.

"Otherwise, some of them will crash and die in front of the General Military Mansion."

Sun Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

"It's the opposite, it's really the opposite."

Cao Fengnian was extremely angry and laughed back: "I really think that this military headquarters is a temple of earth.

I can come and leave whenever I want.

Come on, come with me and have a look."

"Follow your orders" But it was said that Cao Fengnian, accompanied by Sun Zhang, came to the gate of the General Military Mansion in a hurry.

Seeing a crowd of students from the government surrounding the General Military Mansion, he asked angrily: "You are students from the government, and you are not in the government."

Learn to study well and come to this military gate to cause trouble."

As soon as Cao Fengnian finished speaking, Li Qian stepped forward and said: "Cao Junmen's words are wrong.

We are not here to cause trouble but to petition Cao Junmen."

Cao Fengnian sneered and said: "What a petition.

I would like to hear what you are asking for."

"Cao Junmen, have you heard about the tragic massacre in Taoning Village by the Tatars?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Cao Fengnian looked very impatient.

It's just a village, with only a few hundred people in total.

So what if they were all slaughtered?

There were more important things for him to worry about.

If he had to deal with this kind of thing one by one, wouldn't he be exhausted?

"What are Cao Junmen going to do?"

"Of course we're going to beat up the Tatars."

"What's the specific strategy?"

"How dare you, a mere student, speak to our army like this?"

Cao Fengnian felt that his authority had been challenged, so he angrily scolded Li Qian.

"It seems that Cao Junmen is just paying lip service and is not preparing for a decisive battle with the Tatars."

"What a sharp-tongued scholar, do you still need to teach me how to fight in this army?"

"The students are not trying to teach Cao Junmen how to fight, but they just hope that Cao Junmen can give an explanation to the dead people in Taoning Village."

Li Qian was tit for tat and refused to give in at all.

"Come here, tie up this ignorant scholar."

Cao Fengnian was already furious.

After seeing that he couldn't argue, Li Qian decided to arrest him directly.

He gave an order and soldiers came forward to seize Li Qiansuo.

Upon seeing this, all the students from the government expressed their dissatisfaction on behalf of Li Qian.

"How can Cao Junmen arrest people randomly?"

"Brother Ru just told the truth.

Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

"How can Cao Junmen convince the public with this move?

Isn't Cao Junmen afraid of criticism from the world?"

"I'm not convinced, we're not convinced."

Cao Fengnian sneered in his heart.

Okay, these scholars are really damn smart.

Originally, he just wanted to catch Li Qian alone.

After all, arresting all the students would be an open break with the civil servants.

This is what he doesn't want to see.

But now these scholars are going to drown him just for talking about him.

If he keeps silent, he will really be looked down upon.

"Come here, tie up all these rotten scholars."

At this point, Cao Fengnian was not prepared to leave any room for maneuver and resolutely ordered the arrest.

The wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers in the General Military Mansion had always disliked these scholars, and they were all delighted after receiving orders from General Cao.

They swarmed up and tied up all the people without any explanation.

"Take them all into the General Military Mansion" Cao Fengnian said fiercely.

Wu Wendao, the prefect of Yunyang, was furious when he learned that the students from the prefecture were causing trouble in the General Military Mansion and were arrested and imprisoned under the order of General Soldier Cao Fengnian.

He and General Cao were both civil and military, and they had always been in harmony with each other.

But I don’t know why Cao Junmen was so confused today.

What Cao Fengnian arrested was not just one or two people, but more than a hundred people, including all student members of the Yunyang Mansion.

This movement is too big Even if Wu Wendao wanted to suppress it, he couldn't.

Civil servants and military attachés are different.

Military attache promotion depends on military merit.

As long as you can keep winning battles and capturing heads, you will be promoted.

Civil servants rely on political performance.

To put it bluntly, political achievements include tax collection, culture and education.

Not to mention the former, let’s talk about the latter, which is directly related to scholars.

Today, Cao Fengnian locked up all the students in Yunyang Prefecture.

If Wu Wendao didn't say a word, how would the entire scholarly community view him and how would the circle of scholars view him?

If he loses his reputation, how can he talk about his political achievements?

So Wu Wendao had to come forward in this matter.

But Wu Wendao didn't want to see an open break with Cao Fengnian.

What's more, now that the Tatars are killing people and setting fires in Yunyang, Wu Wendao is pointing at Cao Fengnian to resist the Tatars and guard Yunyang Mansion.

At this time, quarreling with Cao Fengnian is tantamount to digging your own grave
