C387 Intimidation of Intimates by Drinking Wine

The southwest was so far away that most of the people's homes didn't have any salt left. They were all anxiously waiting for the government's salt. However, among these people, there were a few who had ill intentions and wanted to borrow the official salt to make an unrighteous fortune. Therefore, every year after the official salt entered the palace, there would be a case of theft. Presumably, this Liu Ci Shi really had no other choice so he came to borrow someone from the army.

Before Liu Ci Shi finished speaking, he revealed an impatient look, and waved his hand: "Lord Thorn, could it be that you do not know that the southwest is fighting, and all the soldiers are tired, so they do not have time to help you with these hard work. There are many constables under your jurisdiction, why do you have to borrow from our military? "

"This …" Hearing Vice General Zhang's sharp words, Liu Ci Shi's face instantly flushed red, he didn't know how to reply.

He turned to look at Wu Shan, his face revealing an anxious expression.

Wu Shan sat on top of the big tent, and couldn't help but cherish it when he saw the anxious look on the Liu Ci Shi's face. I heard that Liu Ci Shi has been the administrator of the Southwest for many years, I can see that he really wants to do something for the people. It was just that the people in the army had always been controlled by the General Liu Feng's thoughts, and naturally developed their current temperament.

Although Vice General Zhang had a condescending look on his face, Liu Ci Shi was still unwilling to give up. He let out a light breath and continued to speak to Wu Shan, "General Wu, this official naturally knows that the southwest war is tense, but the matter of the salt transportation cannot be delayed at all. Now that the salt transportation has reached the dock, if this official were to turn to the capital and plead with His Majesty for an order, it would definitely be too late.

Liu Ci Shi had expressed his sincerity, but what he said was not without reason.

Wu Shan thought for a while, but was unable to say anything.

While he was muttering to himself, the Vice General Zhang continued to wave his hand and said to the Liu Ci Shi: "Lord Thorn, we don't have the manpower to help you with these small matters. You should just find a solution for this by yourself. Today, our general has important matters to attend to. If Lord Thorn has nothing else, please head back earlier. "

"This …" Vice General Zhang's words were eloquent, and he had no other choice.

He was currently standing in the tent in a dilemma, but to his surprise, Wu Shan unexpectedly still nodded at him. The Lord Thorn loves the hearts of the masses, so I can't do anything to help the citizens of the southwest now that I have arrived. It has been raining non-stop recently, and the soldiers in the army have nothing to do with it, so I can just bring them along as long as the Lord Thorn needs more manpower. "

Hearing Wu Shan's words, Liu Ci Shi was stunned on the spot, unable to say a word.

It was not only the Liu Ci Shi, but the Vice General Zhang standing at the side was also shocked. He hurriedly shook his head at Wu Shan, walked up and anxiously said to Wu Shan: "General, you absolutely cannot do this. "Southwest region has always been where the military and political forces separated from each other without interference. If the general did so …"

Since Liu Ci Shi was standing at the side, he did not finish his words.

But Wu Shan naturally understood what the Vice General Zhang meant. Southwest region has always been the separation of military and political, the two sides have their respective officers. If Wu Shan agreed to Liu Ci Shi's request just like that, in the eyes of the people in the military camp, it was them who had submitted to the southwestern government. They had been commanded by the General Liu Feng for all these years, so this thought had already been deeply rooted in their minds. Not only Vice General Zhang, even the other soldiers in the army would not agree.

Who knew that Wu Shan did not care about the Vice General Zhang's intentions at all. "He smiled at Liu Ci Shi and nodded his head slightly. Now spring is coming again and again, and if the people do not have the most basic salt in their homes, it is the fault of us who are in the dynasty. If there's anything that this general can help with, I hope that Lord Thorn does not have to be so courteous, feel free to speak out. "

Liu Ci Shi didn't think that Wu Shan would actually agree so readily. For a moment, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He hurried over and bowed towards Wu Shan and said, "Thank you, General Wu. I am here on behalf of the people of the Southwest Prefecture and the commoners to thank General Wu."

"Lord Thorn doesn't need to be so polite, quickly get up, quickly get up." Seeing that, Wu Shan hurriedly helped the Liu Ci Shi up, and smiled at him: "It's just a small matter in the prefectural city, how can there be anything to worry about? Lord Thorn must have really killed me by paying such a great respects to me. "

Hearing Wu Shan's words. Liu Ci Shi also laughed somewhat embarrassedly, he cupped his hands towards Wu Shan and said to him with a face full of surprise: "Old General Wu went out to war on the battlefield a long time ago, and his reputation is brilliant. In the past two dynasties, a famous official of one generation had appeared. Everyone in the court was full of admiration for him. Now the old general, though old, was no longer on horseback. However, when he saw General Wu today, it was as if he saw the figure of the Old General Wu back then. General Wu is so benevolent and righteous, and this official is ashamed. I really don't know what to say. "

As the Liu Ci Shi spoke, his voice couldn't help but tremble a little. Wu Shan laughed faintly, extended his hand and cupped his hands to Liu Ci Shi: "Lord Thorn is too kind, I am truly unworthy. Right now I am in the army camp, rushing about doing my duty. I really don't have time to leave with Lord Thorn. If Lord Thorn needs anything, feel free to tell me. "

"Thank you, General Wu." The Liu Ci Shi said to Wu Shan, but he still revealed a smile that he couldn't hide.

It was still early, so Wu Shan and Liu Ci Shi sat in the tent and had a good discussion. Vice General Zhang held his sword tightly and walked around the tent. An impatient expression appeared on his face.

Vice General Zhang was pacing outside the tent when someone suddenly reported to him, "General Zhang, the envoys from the southwest are ready. They will be coming to pay their respects to General Wu in about fifteen minutes. I hope General Wu can prepare first. "

There was only a quarter of an hour left, but the more the two talked about it, the more speculative they became. Who knew when it would be the end of it?

The Vice General Zhang finally could not take it anymore and bowed to Wu Shan inside the tent. He said to expressionlessly: "General, it's getting late, we still have other things to do. If there is nothing else on Lord Thorn, let us end it here today. Would you two like to reminisce about the past another day? "

Hearing Vice General Zhang's words, Wu Shan couldn't help but reveal a face of enlightenment, only then did he remember that there were still many things he had to do today.
