The letter wrote several pieces of evidence and told Liu An confidently that the people who plundered the Liao camps on the border of Song and Liao were definitely not the Liao army affiliated to Youzhou, and they were sure to be bandits. This situation started at the end of October last year. He had only written the letter for so long, hoping to confirm this speculation.

Finally, thank you Liu An for taking in and taking care of his niece.

"Feng Zheng, is it your uncle?" Liu An couldn't believe it, but when he asked this, Li Qinglian was also confused. She was searched when she was very young, and her memory was very vague at that age.

Li Qinglian quickly delivered all the letter to Liu An.

There is no actual content in the letter, only some words of concern and teaching.

Liu An remembered very clearly that Li Qinglian was a female family member of the official family and was exiled to Lingnan. The whole family basically died in Lingnan. I have never heard of Feng Zheng having a girl marrying Li's surname. If so, there would be records in the government.

This is a bit strange.

However, it is not a big deal.

Importantly, Feng Zheng provided a very valuable information.

Liu An lit the letter with the fire of the candle, then stood up after watching it burned to ashes: "Let's go, go see the lanterns, go shopping casually, I'll do some serious business."

After saying that, Liu An walked out quickly without waiting for Pan Ziling to react.

Pan Ziling looked at Li Qinglian with a little bad look.

Originally, I thought it was just a deposed official, but who would have a backstage, and it was a good backstage. If Feng Zheng returned to Beijing and became an official at the level of serving as a political affairs officer, would Li Qinglian's status be rising?

Li Qinglian was also very nervous, but she didn't know what kind of reaction she should have at this time. She just lowered her head and sat there silently.

Liu An was so concerned about what would happen to the grape trellis in the backyard? He had some serious things to do.

At the agreed time, Zhaixing Pavilion.

Li Jilong has also arrived. In name, he is watching the final result of the world's No. 1 competition. The real reason is that he wants to tell Liu An about his feelings after seeing the new power of gunpowder.

When the two met, Liu An opened the right way: "Feng Zheng wrote a letter, and he said confidently that the borders of the Song border had been adjusted around the end of October last year. The small group of Liao troops robbed south were no longer Youzhou soldiers, but some bandit soldiers."

Li Jilong nodded: "That tiger squat is good. There is only one explanation for the shrinking of the troops on the border of the Liao army. After you take Xiazhou, Yelu Longqing is ready to go south. It seems that this year, either summer or autumn."

Liu An asked: "Is spring impossible?"

"Impossible, the Matt is too thin in spring." Li Jilong gave Liu An a confident answer.

Liu An was dissatisfied: "If Yelu Longqing speculated, we were guarding against autumn, and suddenly spring came to attack?"

Li Jilong was not in a hurry and explained to Liu An politely: "If a war starts this time, it will be a big war. A big war is different from a small-scale war. The logistics preparation is much larger, and the advantage of autumn is that the horse is full of fertility. Yelu Longqing may also go south in spring, but he will not. He is not planning a small victory, so he cannot win a big victory when going south in spring."

After saying that, Li Jilong saw that Liu An was still worried and said, "Let's prepare for spring and take autumn as the basis, so that we don't worry about anything."

"Well, if he doesn't act according to common sense, we will suffer a lot."

"That's right, then prevent this."

Li Jilong did not believe that Yelu Longqing would attack in the spring. Even if the Liao Kingdom started preparing since October last year, this time was far from enough.

Unless Yelu Longqing only wants to go south to harass him, instead of having huge strategic goals.

As a coach of 100 generals, Li Jilong has this confidence.

Liu An was considering the speed of mobilization and assembly in later generations. In fact, Yelu Longqing never thought that spring could take action.

Liu An asked casually again: "Why did Feng Zheng and Xianggong Kou celebrate?"

Li Jilong did not ask why Liu An was concerned about this, and immediately replied: "Feng Zheng is a character. He was three years older than Kou Zhun. Back then, Kou Zhun was a political officer, and he was only a seventh-rank official, but he forced Kou Zhun to be the second-rank, and became a fifth-rank officer."

"Just for this." Liu Anxin said, this may be considered a big revenge.

Li Jilong said: "The problem is not because he participated in Kou Zhun, but because his involvement has little to do with Kou Zhun."

"Honor Kou took the blame?"

"That's what it means, and the officials who were involved in the matter at that time also put the blame on Kou Zhun. The one who Kou Zhun hated the most was not Feng Zheng, but Lu Duan. The rest of the people were small people. Now that Lu Duan has died, Kou Zhun is so angry that he is too angry with Feng Zheng."

After listening to Li Jilong's explanation, Liu An understood.

Why did the emperor want to summon Feng Zheng back to Beijing, but Kou Zhun opposed it?

"Let's go, it's quite lively tonight, but I'm already exhausted at this age." Li Jilong did not plan to participate in the final ranking of the competition, and he was about to go home to rest after getting on the horse.

As soon as Li Jilong left, Kou Zhun arrived.

He asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"I was just a little curious about the old things that happened a few years ago. I just couldn't understand why you, Mr. Kou, don't like each other."

Kou Zhun just smiled and didn't answer this.

He didn't need an explanation, nor was he interested in explaining it.

Kou Zhun pointed to the distance: "Look there, have you seen something?"

There?

It is in Zhaixing Pavilion, what is there?

Kou Zhun did not let Liu An guess, and said directly: "Outside, inner garden, inside the hall. Many civilians are happy outside because of the wide variety of goods, and many small officials and nobles are happy in the inner garden because they bought treasures. But I and you have the opportunity to choose in the hall, but they don't care."

"And, those who stand at the gate of the garden and those outside the main hall want to go further."

"This is the officialdom."

Liu An understood.

There are many people in the officialdom who are satisfied with the status quo and are easily happy, but there are also many people who want to climb up.

After really reaching a certain position, I became calm.

Kou Zhun said again: "Look closer, people wearing brocade shoes will not stand with people wearing cloth shoes. Can they be forbidden from cliches in the court?"

Liu An nodded: "King Kou is right. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and people are rivers and lakes."

"Jianghu, I have heard this new word, and this is a good word." Kou Zhun pointed to Liu An and pointed to himself: "You and I are not the kind of people standing among the crowd. Back, real treasures will not be placed on the table for people to choose. Since the price is marked, they are no longer treasures."
