In late February, above the Huai River, at the junction of Caizhou, Guangzhou and Shunchang Prefecture, a fleet of small ships slowly moved upwards. On both sides of the river, there were green trees and red flowers, and tens of thousands of troops were riding or stairs, and were sailing westward along the river.

At this time, on the river bank, the Censor Zhang Jun and Zhang Deyuan, who came out to inspect military discipline, were chatting with several subordinates, the idle officials who had recently come to vote, and even a few white-body scribes.

"Shunchang Prefecture is originally named Yingzhou. In addition, Caizhou to the west belongs to the west, but it has been the heart of Huaixi since ancient times and is almost a common name for Huaixi. Han Taiwei was appointed as the commander of Huaixi, which is worthy of his name." Zhang Jun, the first person, said casually, and then closed his mouth, as if he was a self-respecting person and wanted to listen to others' discussions.

It can only be said that although Zhang Deyuan is only thirty years old, after being polished by the Jingkang Rebellion and the ups and downs of this year, he has already gained a little bit of the superior demeanor after firmly becoming the top confidant of the Zhao official family in Hezhong.

"What Xiantai said is very much." The Censor of the Supervisor knew that the Xiantai above the head turned the enemy into friends with Taiwei Han when he was on Bagong Mountain. Recently, he was getting closer and closer, and he was in a vague sense of alliance. In addition, the two prominent censors in the hall were vacant recently, but they were very interested. "While Huaidong and Huaixi seem to have a heavier jurisdiction in Huaidong, but Huaixi is closer, the officials would rather let Han and Zhang change the defense zone than Han Taiwei here to place him in front of him, and use him to clean up Huaixi, Jingxi and Jingxiang in order to open up the Nanyang marching land, which shows his favor."

Zhang Jun nodded slightly.

"How unbearable is the word of pampering?" At this moment, a middle-aged man following behind suddenly stopped at the horse and scolded him in public. "Han Taiwei's famous general, the official family considered him as the matter in Huaixi for the future overall situation. How could he arbitrarily appoint this because of his closeness and distantness?!"

When everyone looked back, they saw that this man was about thirty years old, but his eyes were extraordinary. Although he was dressed as a civil servant, he immediately had a long spear and bow. His waist and sleeves were tied with the recently popular cowhide belt, but it was a bit inconsistent.

The Censor was scolded in front of his immediate superior, so he was naturally dissatisfied. However, because his immediate superior was not easy to get angry, he could only ask immediately: "Who is this person? Which year's Jinshi should be sent to him?"

"Liu Ziyu, Jianzhou, was not a Jinshi, but now he is a magistrate of the court, and he has no dispatch." This man was not afraid when he heard this, and directly opposed him.

After thinking about it for a moment, the censor knew that the other party was in the background... He was not a Jinshi, but could still be a fifth-rank civil servant, a civil servant who was a 30-year-old, must have been from the imperial court, and had no choice but to have not been able to follow him after the Jingkang Rebellion. At this time, he found the group of people who were walking... so he couldn't help but feel a little confident and sneered at the same time:

"It turns out that Liu Yanei, who came to find an official position because of Wen Dexing's peace of mind. Whose talent is he?"

"In the national crisis of Jingkang, my father committed suicide by hanging a beam and sacrificed his life for his country. I am the eldest son. I should carry the coffin back home. I am also irreconcilable with the Jin people because of the hatred of the country. Then I have arrived in a hurry. How did I become a person who seeks stability?" Liu Ziyu also changed his color for a moment. "And we are talking about the matter, and what is going on is the reason why the official family settled Han Taiwei in Huaixi, and how should he attack private people with his kindness? The country is in crisis. Are the censors in the court now such a thing?!"

This was basically a slap, but the words revealed that his father had just arrived at the national crisis and must have been a well-known person in the world. So even Zhang Jun was not good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he took the initiative to bow to him: "I dare to hear the best arguments!"

"I dare not ask Xiantai for a question." Liu Ziyu didn't seem to be an angry young man. Facing the Censor General who was about the same age as him, he immediately bowed his hand and went down the steps. "It should be noted that the mystery of the appointment of Taiwei Han is actually still above the word Nanyang..."

Zhang Jun remembered the recent discussions in front of the emperor, and his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but lean forward slightly: "Please explain in detail."

"This matter is simple." Liu Ziyu, who was pulled down on the river bank, was also slightly solemn. "You will know after thinking about it. In order to take charge of the overall situation, the officials decided to station in Nanyang. This is nothing wrong, because if you want to restore the world, you must obtain the strong troops in Guanxi and the wealth of Southeast. However, the war is not yet decided. With military plans, Nanyang will have two major difficulties in the future. One is wealth. Specifically, it is how to ensure that the wealth of Bashu in the southeast is gathered in Jingxiang to support the army. In this regard, the officials are as important as the prime minister Li, supporting the empress dowager and the imperial heir in Yangzhou, which is already a wonderful move, and they are not financially capable, so I won't say much...and the other is how to defend!"

Zhang Jun's eyelids twitched.

"It should be noted that Nanyang is known as the basin. It is connected on one side and surrounded by mountains on the other side, and can be defended. But in fact, there is a huge gap on the northeast side of Nanyang. It goes directly to the Central Plains through Yingchang Prefecture (the area of ​​Yancheng, Luohe and Xuchang in later generations). Through this flat passage, the army travels and the cavalry is flying without any delay!" Liu Ziyu continued to say calmly. "For this reason, in addition to the three officials who stayed in the north, Zhang Longtu and Zhang Taiwei set up defense zones to form a line for the front, they also used Han Taiwei as their bravery and stood in Huaixi to face this mouth. In order to prevent this, they used Han Taiwei as their last reliance, either relying on them to occupy the enemy, or using them to form a closed door and fight against dogs! Compared with this disposal, such as cleaning up the surrounding areas of Nanyang and opening up a marching place, it seems insignificant!"

After hearing this, everyone either twisted their beards and nodded, or disagreed, and just went to see Zhang Xiantai, who was in charge.

However, just as Zhang Jun was about to speak, he saw a large boat in the river suddenly approaching the south bank. Then several eunuchs and Ban Zhi approached the north bank on a small boat. When they saw the Censor Zhongcheng here, they waved from afar.

Zhang Deyuan knew that the official family had something to call, so he stopped talking. Instead, he turned over and got off the horse, and took a small notebook from the backpack on the horse's butt behind him, picked up a small piece of charcoal from it, spread it out on the saddle, leaning over to record, and then asked again: "Liu Ziyu, a native of Jianzhou, how dare you ask what character you can take? Age? And the name of your father?"

"My name is Yanxiu, and he is 32 years old. My father is Liu Huiwei, a former Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall!"

Zhang Jun, who was lying there, looked up in shock: "It's Liu Zhongyan's eldest son?!"

Liu Ziyu was about to say again that the small boat in the river was approaching, and Zhang Jun hurriedly put away his small notebook and walked down with his backpack. When he came to the river, he hurriedly turned around and greeted: "Brother Yan Xiu is a talented man, and he is a loyal and kind man. Please be careful not to be impatient. When I have the opportunity, I will recommend my best in front of the imperial court! It will definitely be a good opportunity for the next person to display his talents!"

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Ziyu to react, Zhang Jun took his bag and went to the other side to look for Zhao Guan’s house.

Zhang Jun left and knew that Liu Ziyu was a person with a foundation, so the group of people looked at each other and simply scattered. Before leaving, they couldn't help but leave behind such ridiculous words as "The Grand Secretary of the Zizheng Hall also came to find a way for Xiantai," and "It was this person who went to Xiantai's promotion today."

Not to mention that these trips were in trouble on the periphery, the Zhao Guan family suddenly stopped the big ship and held a temporary imperial meeting in Guangzhou, the southern bank of the Huai River. However, the atmosphere of this meeting held in the curtains in the wilderness was obviously a bit bad.

The reason is actually very simple. The so-called "insignificant" thing that Liu Ziyu just said was imminent.

"You all know that Ding Jin ahead has an abnormal movement."

The first person to speak and introduce the problem was Wang Boyan, the prime minister. After he decided to accompany the capital to Nanyang, he became more and more active. He had long since he was not careful. He didn't know if he was an illusion. At this time, he was clearly introducing difficult matters, but he always felt that he was quite energetic, as if he was talking about some happy events. "As soon as the official family entered Guangzhou, the Privy Council accepted the order to summon this person to the front, but this person hesitated and did not dare to come easily. Finally, the official family found the order. But he set off, but actually brought 30,000 people to see him. At this time, he was stationed in Zhugao Town forty miles ahead, and seemed to be in a position of being the guest."

"Ding Jinben is not credible."

After everyone heard this, the prime minister was the first to speak. Perhaps because Li Gang was not used, Lu Hao asked Lu Xianggong a little more. "He was a thief who took advantage of the chaos and was forced to surrender before the war. It is not surprising that he acted like this."

"No," the third husband Xu Jingheng also took advantage of the situation to speak. "If I remember correctly, this villain should have been stationed in Zhugao Town. He was summoned at this time, and he had just arrived. It seems that he had retreated without authorization before. It can be seen that all the martial artists are like Zhang Jun, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Zhang Rong and others are even rare..."

The three prime ministers were talking nonsense about the opening ceremony. Zhang Jun, the chief censor who was still carrying a backpack, couldn't help but squint to look at the Zhao Guanjia who could not move, and then he couldn't help but feel a sudden heart... It turned out that the Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting under a colorful peach blossom tree, was motionless and calm, and if he was not wearing a big red robe, he would be like a Taoist who practiced immortals, and seemed to be deaf about everything.

However, Zhang Xiantai, who is good at observing words and expressions, does not understand. The official is waiting for someone to say truly useful words - what the Zhao official wants to deal with Ding Jin, not what Ding Jin should have!

However, Zhang Xiantai understood even more. This time, it was an old problem in the government and he didn't understand everyone's words, because the two East Mansion ministers had clearly expressed their own solutions in their words. At this time, it was time for him to come out to help the government and explain it briefly.

But then again, Zhang Deyuan was about to speak, but he couldn't help but look at the side of the unmoved Bachelor Kobayashi. After spending a long time with this cunning Bachelor Yutang, he always felt that he was a little aggressive...

Of course, human nature is hard to change. What’s more important is that Zhang Xiantai knows who his status and power come from, so he doesn’t dare to neglect it. While he hesitates, he has already taken steps to ask:

"I dare to ask the two husbands, but I think that Ding Jin, a warrior who is a thief, doesn't have to worry too much about these things, but it can be repaid and placed, and it can be useful? So there is no need to use force?"

The Zhao Guan family was finally slightly moved and seemed to wake up.

"I don't think this person is innocent, but I say that if I can control the court's kindness and power, why do I have to cause trouble on him?" Xu Jingheng didn't seem to understand why the Censor Central Chief said such nonsense, but Lu Haowen suddenly woke up in front of Zhao Guan's family for a long time, and he couldn't help but explain to Zhang Jun and to the Zhao Guan's family seriously. "Officials, I think Ding Jin can be a little favor and give him a little reward to retreat... There are three reasons."

"Speaking of it." Zhao Jiu finally spoke while thinking about it.

"First, the key thing to do at this time is to quickly reach Nanyang to calm people's hearts. Everything can be done after you have settled in Nanyang before making any decisions. It is not advisable to get involved in right and wrong on the road and delay time."

"It makes sense." Zhao Jiu nodded slowly.

"Secondly, Ding Jin still has 30,000 troops, which is slightly more than the one in the group. Moreover, our army is divided on both sides of the straits, and the strong soldiers are all on the north straits? Therefore, even if you have to deal with it forcibly, it may not be possible. And even if it can be achieved, if it is not handled properly, 30,000 defeated soldiers will scatter into Guangzhou, which will poison the people."

"It makes sense, too." Zhao Jiu continued to think.

"Third, there are so-called bandits, rebels, bandits, powerful soldiers, defeated soldiers, and unstable soldiers after the recruitment. Today, they deal with Ding Jin, but they don't know how to recruit bandits all over the ground behind them? The key is that at this time, they will take advantage of the elite troops of the imperial court and occupy Xiangyang, how should Fan Qiong, who will deal with them at that time?"

"What Mr. Lu said is indeed very reasonable." Zhao Guanjia nodded for the third time.

"So, I would like to send an envoy to Zhugao Town to give a little reward to ease his heart and let him retreat temporarily to make way for the way." Lu Haowen saw the officials agreeing one after another, so he felt relieved and reiterated his opinion. "After Dingjin's defense zone and arrived in Dingcheng, he gathered Yuwen Shumi, Liu Zhengyan, Miao Fu, and Liu Yan, why not make the next plan."

"Happy, do you think so, the two husbands of Wang?" Zhao Guanjia continued to nod and looked at the other two again.

Xu Jingheng and Wang Boyan looked at each other and thought it was okay, but they bowed their heads and said yes.

The Zhao Guan family still nodded, but did not give an order, but looked directly at Zhang Jun.

Zhang Xiantai felt aroused in his heart and was ready to refute.

However, the Zhao Guan family just swept away Zhang Jun and Scholar Xiaolin, and blurted out to Yang Yizhong beside him: "Let Han Shizhong and Wang De come in."

After a moment, Han and Wang appeared directly under the peach blossom tree in the shock of the civil officials. It seemed that they had been summoned before, and the Prime Minister was nearby.

"You sent Ding Jin to investigate the matter, so I won't say much." Zhao Jiu easily waived the etiquette of the two. "But just now, my husband talked about this matter, but he discussed three difficult points. I will ask you one by one... If you ask you to pacify Ding Jin, can you quickly settle it and not delay it for a long time?"

Han Shizhong and Wang De were both powerful generals at that time, and they all held their heads up to obey the orders. But after hearing this question, the gap immediately emerged. Wang De hesitated for a moment, as if there was no plan and a conclusion, but Han Shizhong simply bowed and responded: "Don't worry, the official family, as long as three days, as long as five days, I can finish this matter!"

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly and smiled: "This is why I call the good ministers in front of me... Secondly, Ding Jin's troops had 30,000 people, and they had robbed Guangzhou and Caizhou before. They had abundant military resources and many soldiers and armor. The husbands were worried that if they were at a loss, they would scatter the defeated soldiers into the surrounding areas and cause harm to the place. Can you stop them?"

"I will never let the chaotic troops scatter!" Han Shizhong pointed his finger at the sky and answered simply again.

"That's all. The three harms are stopped, and it's enough to do things." Zhao Guanjia smiled again. "But what else can I say?"

"I just ask the officials to be a close confidant of the civil servants to trick Ding Jin!" Han Shizhong ignored the confusing expressions of the three ministers and Wang De around him, and still answered, but smiled a little embarrassedly. "However, if the officials can still move forward calmly, the officials will definitely be able to speed up and more steadily..."

"I would like to see Ding Jin!" Before Han Shizhong finished speaking, Hu Yin, a clerk from the Secretariat, moved out of the queue and made a loud voice, which also made Zhang Jun and Scholar Xiaolin each shocked each other again.

I can only say that since I left Bagong Mountain, the official family has become more and more skilled and more determined. But there are more and more husbands above, and the brothers below are getting more and more unable to suppress them. It's difficult!

"That's it, let's not delay." Zhao Guanjia raised his hand and signaled, but he actually stood up directly, as if he had passed the resolution harmoniously with the two ministers.

At this time, it was fine for Lu Haowen and Wang Boyan. The newly returned Xu Jingheng finally couldn't help but leave and said, "Official family!"

"Xu Gong!" Zhao Jiu, who stood up, suddenly held his belt and spoke, and took the initiative to cut off the other party. "Today, we will ask you not only, but also the matter of the ministers in front of you... Why was the world in trouble before and how peaceful in the future?"

Xu Jingheng and others were all stunned.

"In my opinion, the world is chaotic, the inner world is the tranquility of literature and martial arts, and the outer world is the constant resistance of the people, and the two saints surrendered to the world." Zhao Jiu responded slowly, as if he was ready to speak. "So, if you want the world to return to peace, you want civil officials not to love money, and military officials will die! And I should also strive to uphold the major policies, no matter the danger, you will never waver! Do you think, right?"

Lu Haowen, Xu Jingheng, Wang Boyan, and many other civil officials who were working in the country, including Zhang Jun, Lin Jingmo, and many other warriors, including Han Shizhong, were all awesome and quickly bowed and said their destiny.

"Actually, I can still tolerate other things," After stealing the scene, Zhao Guanjia blushed slightly, but instead took the initiative to explain. "Dande entered the Shouzhou War before, and even fled at the news, which almost caused a disaster, but I really can't stand it! It is important to know that you, Xianggong Li, have seen that the warriors do not cause chaos, but I can tolerate everything to fight against the war, but I can't tolerate them in the future. If they cannot take advantage of the situation to strictly enforce military discipline and organize the place, let alone how to take this as their heart in the future and come to control the Jin army, wouldn't it be too unfair to just say that Liu Guangshi Liu Taiwei on Bagong Mountain?"

Many people, following Mr. Lu, remembered the situation that night when they heard this, and even felt that the official's performance is much more reasonable now... This is progress!

ps: Thank you to Mr. Mu of the Silver Alliance boss, Gamir... Yesterday, he said that the two and a half leaders did not show up at the front desk, and today he directly... I knelt down! But I really didn't save the manuscript... I was ashamed to be guilty of high blood pressure.
Chapter completed!
