Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 564
In Luoyang City.

Cheng Wanli, the first governor of the Central Plains Province, and Zhai Xing, the provincial military commander, were sitting opposite each other.The tea in front of the two of them had already been brewed three times, and the taste had long since gone, but they were discussing confidential matters, and only their secretary, Lang, was with them.Other outsiders are not allowed to enter.

I don't know how long the two of them talked for. The sun was already in the west, and the people in the room came out to hold a banquet.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Cheng Wanli sighed, and said first: "The first one entered the pass alone, he was really brave, and I will be the king of the court. If you succeed in one fell swoop, you should be rewarded for such meritorious deeds."

There is no self-proclaimed identity in his words and deeds, and he always treats Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin brothers with courtesy and restraint, without showing any arrogance.The attitude is also kind and polite, without any wooing.

Now that Lu Qian is in his prime, it is still early to compete for the throne.His grandfather, the eldest prince, was far from the age of Canada, let alone the age of forming a gang.

Besides, Zhai Xing's status is not much lower than his.The military commander of a province, and the governor of a province with him, one civil and one military, that is not a relationship under the restraint order, but a relationship of mutual restraint.

Furthermore, Cheng Wanli knew how he got his position as governor.If there is no suitable candidate, it is really not his turn.

Zhai Xing also had worry on his face, which was suppressed in his heart earlier, and now he no longer concealed it.Na Zhai Jin stayed in the Liangshan Army for him earlier, and it seemed that his qualifications were two years longer, but in fact there was no major development.Otherwise, why did he sneak into the pass alone at this time, seeking wealth in danger?
But his luck was so good.Because of his contribution to Xijing, and because of his reputation in the green forests of the Central Plains, he was first appointed as an ambassador to seek thieves. Manager Horse.

Zhai Xing really felt that he owed his brother.

Now, after hearing Cheng Wanli's words, he said, "I'll rely on the governor's auspicious words. If my brother can come back safely this time, Zhai Xing is willing to pay with his life."

Cheng Wanli immediately laughed: "Your Kunzhong is a great talent, and he is also young and vigorous. In this chaotic world, it is time to show his talents and show his ambitions. Why do you have such thoughts? It's not right, it's not right."

Zhai Xing suddenly woke up.Isn't it suspected that my own words are complaining for my brother, but there is something wrong.

At that moment, he laughed, changed the subject, and ate and chatted with Cheng Wanli. For a while, both of them were happy.

At this time, Zhai Jin, who was worried by Zhai Xing a hundred times, had already quietly entered Jingzhao Mansion.

Do you think why Zhai Xing took a huge risk to enter this Jingzhao Mansion?But that's all because of a hero here, surnamed Li, double named Yanxian, styled Shaoyan, real name Li Xiaozhong.A native of Pengyuan, Ningzhou (Ning County, Gansu), he moved to Gongzhou in Longxi.Strategies, adaptability, and more friendship.

The Li family is also a big and powerful local family. The two families did business in the Central Plains. First, they entered Guanzhong with their tentacles. Su had many contacts with the Zhai brothers.

Later, Lu Qian defeated the Song army several times and moved his troops to the east. Later, Zhao Song moved the capital to Heluo.It's just that before he entered Heluo, Lu Qian had already retreated.At that time, Fan Zhixu, the minister of the Ministry of War, was ordered to appease the volunteers from all over the country. Li Yanxian wrote a letter to impeach Fan Zhixu for his self-willed dismissal of the volunteers, which hurt the morale of the soldiers and the people.The two were hiding in the Zhai family's Longmen old house at that time.

A few months later, Liang Shan's army marched into the Central Plains and conquered Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing and Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.At that time, the Western Army recruited soldiers, so Li Xiaozhong changed his name to Li Yanxian and joined the army again.

Later, he entered the Tiger Rebellion in Pingtian, Hedong from the Western Army, and he made many military exploits. In the First Battle of Shenzhou, he led the army to attack the city and took the lead, so that he was seriously injured and sent back to the rear for training. make.

Zhai Jin entered Chang'an City this time in order to persuade Li Yanxian.

Of course, he had met other people in Tongguan and other places before that.The Zhai family mobilized all their abilities to help him this time. If Zhai Jin can make great contributions this time, the Zhai family will have two pillars.

Li Yanxian, formerly known as Li Xiaozhong, was really shocked when he met Zhai Jin, whose pseudonym was Luo Jin.Then Zhai Jin's elder brother Zhai Xing has done a great job in Heluo, how many people are in the Jingzhao Mansion?

"Haha, why did my brother come to see my younger brother? It makes me very happy."

The shock on that face was instantly covered up, and he laughed loudly, letting Luo Jin into the house.However, he was very cash-strapped, so he only built a small courtyard with two entrances inside Chang'an City, so it was convenient to get there.Even though a large number of powerful and wealthy households in Chang'an City have fled to Sichuan, and the real estate prices in the city are constantly reaching new lows, Li Yanxian did not buy them again.

Letting "Luo Jin" into the small flower hall all the way, and asking the left and right attendants to count down, he said nervously: "Brother is so bold. Do you know that there are many people from Heluo in this city, if you recognize brother , how can you walk away from the ground?"

"Haha, brother, don't say such useless things. I have always known that you are a smart person. How can I not know why I came to seek you for my brother? Don't gossip about him, just speak your mind. Whether you want it or not, And let you decide for yourself, how can you be a brother who makes things difficult for a strong man, who wants to repay you with kindness?" Zhai Jin came happily at the beginning.

Zhai Jin's confession made Li Yanxian smile wryly, and he had run out of good things to say. "Little brother, this life was saved by the eldest brother of the Zhai family. How dare you forget such kindness? Since the elder brother came to talk to each other, I will certainly agree to it." Since this life was saved by the Zhai family, I will follow Zhai now. home is.The big deal is a life!

Zhai Jin laughed out loud when he heard this, and he knew that this Li Xiaozhong was showing loyalty.

"Brother, don't be upset. In today's world, the one who can unify the mountains and rivers is none other than King Lu. Whether it's Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River, or the Zhao official family in Jiangling City, in terms of character, talent, and vision, who can compare with him?" In just a few years, Lu Qian has made such a foundation. No matter how despised his background in the world, he can't say that he is mediocre!
"A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. Brothers are good at martial arts, proficient in strategy, and better at adapting to changes. They are also the capital of famous generals. The future is far better than that of elder brothers. Why bother to take the Zhao family's boat to sink?" The wrecked ship, live and die with it? It's a pity that the good old days."

"Brother knows that you are loyal and righteous by nature, but do you think that Zhao Guan's family is the master? Since he ascended the throne, has he ever acted like a wise king?" Zhai Jin is quite eloquent.He stayed in the Liangshan Army for a long time, although he didn't have a great future, but because he was always in the center, he had seen a lot.In particular, I have seen a lot of black materials about Zhao Song princes and generals sorted out by the Xuanzheng Department.

Those things, even the loyal ministers and good generals of the old Zhao's family, were afraid that they would be disheartened once they saw them, and they would no longer have the heart to fight and sell their lives for Zhao Song.How about Li Yanxian?
If Zhai Jin also had the 'Sky Eye', he would be able to see that the top of Li Yanxian's head was originally half red and half white, but after he counted the absurdity of the Zhao Song court and the many vicious consequences it brought, the top of Li Yanxian's head was half red and half white. The red is getting lighter.

It's not that Li Yanxian doesn't know many things, but what he knows is definitely not so detailed.And when these things are gathered together, it seems a bit overwhelming.It only wiped away Li Yanxian's loyalty to Zhao Song little by little.

Of course, if he wanted to brainwash Li Yanxian in a blink of an eye and become a diehard loyalist of the Liangshan Army, Zhai Jin wasn't that capable, but it was enough.Li Yanxian's subsequent attitude confirmed all this!
"King Lu rebelled against the Song Dynasty, not only for his own benefit, but also for the millions of people in the world. Condemning the people and punishing crimes, like the rain of the season, makes the millions of people in the world happy. Cover it?" What Zhai Jin said made Li Yanxian's face look much better.

Liangshan Army's investigation and spying on Guanzhong is natural, but it is definitely not as attentive as Gyeonggi and Hebei.After all, Guanzhong is too far away from the original Liangshanbo.After Lu Qian swept Shandong, the spy department's key operations were Hebei, Gyeonggi, and Northland.

Don't look at the eight major intelligence regions of Beidi, Northwest, Hebei, Jiangnan, Lingnan, Shuzhong, Central Plains, and Jinghu under the Intelligence Department, and the three intelligence stations of Heluo, Japan, and Nanyang directly under the Intelligence Department.But there are mostly empty shelves inside.

Think about how big a mess this is?Not to mention more than a thousand intelligence agents, even ten times more can be accommodated.

Many places have only set up an information collection point, and the only function is to collect local public information, which is completely different from real instigating rebellion, infiltration, and stealing confidential information.

Guanzhong is like this.

Originally, Lu Qian planned to send Zhu Wu back to Guanzhong to be in charge of intelligence work in the Northwest Region, but Zhu Wu's talent was good and he was more inclined towards military strategy, so Lu Qian put him under Xu Guanzhong's command.

On the contrary, the intelligence system in the Northwest Region was originally arranged based on the favor left by Pei Xuan in the Jingzhao Mansion. Now that Zhao Song is in decline, the intelligence work in the Northwest Region has made great progress compared to before, such as Li Mida from Shanzhou still doesn't know many secrets.

Without any hesitation, Li Yanxian opened his mouth to express all he knew.It's all for this sake, so Wu must be stupid to hide it from Zhao Song.

"Now the Shanxi army is led by Liu Fa, the newly appointed envoy of the six-way system, while Dong Zhengfeng of the Yongxing army line and Li Hui, the Tongzhi Privy Council officer, are only in charge of civil affairs and logistics.

Regarding the strategic arrangement in Guanzhong, Old General Liu meant that there is an offense in the defense, the main body defends, and another army is assembled behind the defense line, so as to make a short-term counterattack when necessary. "Who is it that the morale of the Liangshan army is at its peak right now? Li Yanxian's task is to go all out to train the troops.

According to Liu Fa's intention, the Song army will stick to Tongguan and Wuguan, and also Tongzhou.

There is no need to say much about the danger of Tongguan and its functions, and there is no need to say more about Wuguan. Tongzhou is the west entrance of Pujin Bridge.

As long as these three places are stuck, even if some troops from the Liangshan Army infiltrate, it will be just a small group of soldiers and horses, and it will not be a big problem.Shanzhou, Jiezhou, Guozhou and other places are the places where the guards were abandoned.It also includes the ancient Hangu Pass.

When many people hear the name of Hangu Pass, they will innately think that it is a key point.For the tens of miles of Xiaohan Road, the east end is Hangu Pass, and the west end is Tongguan.

In the early years, Hangu Pass guarded the throat of Weihan, bordered Hengling Mountains in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is dangerous and the roads are narrow. say.However, with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the water level of the Yellow River fell, and the forest vegetation at the top of the Chousang Plain was destroyed, so the Hangu Pass in the pre-Qin period has lost its role as a natural barrier.Therefore, Tongguan, which is located at the west end of Huohan Road, became a substitute.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable not to be guarded by Liu Fa here.

In Liu Fa's deduction, the land of several states including Hangu Pass will be the place where the Song Army and the Liangshan Army will compete repeatedly in the future, and it is the best place for military training.Just like Xixia's Hengshan battlefield.

Zhai Xing and Cheng Wanli knew about this matter, because Li Mida had already passed the news, but Zhai Jin only heard about it.But after hearing Li Yanxian's words, he was not shocked.Liu Fa is very powerful, but he is even more steady and steady.Zhai Jin also served in the Western Army, how could he not know Liu Fa's style.
