P> "Jingshi has arrived!" Looking at the towering city wall in the distance, the sergeants all raised their arms and shouted, after such a long journey, they were finally about to arrive, how could they not let these villagers who had traveled hundreds of miles and were already physically and mentally exhausted refreshed! Although most of them were not wearing armor and were not holding forbidden weapons, their strict orders and neat steps indicated that they were a well-trained army that was not inferior to others.

P > under the banner of writing "Jinghu South Road through a little pacification, knowing Tanzhou" and "Feng Zhao into the guard", Li Fu who sat on the horse also showed joy, and he did not reprimand him for this little commotion, because he knew the hardships of this road, from Jingnan to here, it seems that he only needs to pass through a Jiangnan West Road, but there are many times when there are no roads on this road, until he enters the west of Zhejiang.

p> There are more than 3,000 villagers behind him, and when he first started recruiting, he was only a prisoner on Jingnan Road, and there is a more famous figure in the history of this position known to future generations, that is, Song Ci, who wrote "Records of Clearing Grievances". And when he gathered all the people and set off, he had been appointed by the imperial court as a marshal all the way, and when he took these horses to Beijing, he didn't know that he would be transferred to Huaixi, which was really rare.

p > can't blame him for only bringing this little soldier, at this time Jinghu South Road is not like the later generations of Hunan Province, known as the "land of fishing and rice" of the entire Dongting Lake District and Yuezhou are under the rule of Jinghu North Road at the moment, half of the area of the whole road is still dominated by Yi people, after hundreds of years of development, although the population has increased significantly compared with the previous dynasty, but in fact it is still far from being compared with the rich land in front of you.

p > like the other soldiers and horses of King Qin, they were still placed in the barracks at the foot of Wu Mountain, and in addition to them, there were also cavalry under Jiang Cai's department. Fortunately, the camp is large enough, and the number of thousands of people has no impact at all, and the treatment is also quite good, and the food and equipment have just been placed and distributed as soon as possible, as for what to do in the future, we have to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court.

p> This qiē is no longer in Li Fu's consideration, he was directly introduced into the city by the officials who came to greet him, saying that someone wanted to see him, and with his identity as a road minister, there were not many people who could let him go to meet, and he was also a little curious, who would be so impatient? When he walked into the door of the mansion, he was still taken aback by the appearance of the purple-robed high-ranking official in the hall.

p> "Uncle Zhang has arrived, why are you stunned, come up, please take a seat." Chen Yizhong put down an official ~ document, stood up and walked down the hall, and greeted warmly. Li Fu hurriedly saluted, Chen Yizhong of course he knew, but the two did not have much friendship, such a warm reception made him a little puzzled.

P> "It's been hard all the way, I know, I should have let you rest for a while, but the state affairs are heavy, and I really can't spare time to go outside the city, so I have to ask someone to invite you to come, how lazy." Next, Chen Yizhong's posture was lowered, which made his heart change from puzzled to uneasy, is it asking for something to be so polite?

p> "Chen Xiang's public words are serious, they are all for state affairs, not to talk about hard work, but if you have instructions, you might as well say it bluntly." Li Fu did not sit down according to his words, he is a person who does practical things, he doesn't like empty words, and he doesn't know how to flatter Shangguan, otherwise he would have known that Lin'an Mansion would have been a handsome minister ten years ago.

p > Chen Yizhong knows his personality very well, and he is not reluctant, although he protected this person in front of the Queen Mother, but he does not know, in order to prevent things from accidents, he must first agree with Li Fu. After all, he has only been in office for a short time, and it is not known whether he is willing to be transferred again, so he thought about it for a while before he spoke.

p> "Shuzhang, you came from Jiangxi Road, are you still smooth?" You may have received help along the way. Chen Yizhong's words made Li Fu stunned, but he immediately understood what he meant, the pacification envoy of Jiangnan West Road was Huang Wanshi, that person was a former minister, when he offended Jia Yidao because of his words, he was impeached by this person before he went to the post.

p > thought about what happened in Jiangxi, he couldn't help but shake his head, it was a villain, the two did have such a holiday, and it was expected to be treated coldly, but he didn't want to say anything, he didn't know what the intention of Chen Yizhong's question was, it stands to reason that that person is also a member of the backbone of the Jia Party, and now instead of resigning, he has also taken charge all the way, most of them have already taken refuge in someone in power, and he can't afford to provoke right and wrong again.

p> "Okay, so-and-so understands, since you can't say it, then so-and-so won't ask anymore." I have something to tell you, Huang Wanshi is about to be transferred to Jinghu, and the edict has been drafted and will be issued in the near future, Shuzhang, do you understand now? Although Chen Yizhong did not say where it was, how could Li Fu not hear it.

p>"In that case, what will happen to certain and those subordinates? Can you disclose one or two things? "I didn't expect that his position has been replaced, or the person he despises, Li Fu does not have much panic, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, although it is unusual for this kind of thing to change a day, but now is an eventful autumn, think about it and be relieved, he believes that with his own defense, the court will not idle him for no reason.

p> "What do you think about yourself, if you want to enter the court as an official, there is no one in the Privy Council, and with Shuzhang's talent, it should be appropriate to be a deputy envoy." If you still want to let go, you can also think of a way, now is the time for the court to employ people, and it will not treat you badly. Chen Yizhong asked him to sit down and talk again, and it didn't look good for the two of them to stand like this.

p > Li Fu thanked and then sat down according to the words, although Chen Yizhong said very casually, but he knew that this Chen Xianggong must have ideas, otherwise he would not talk to himself, from his expression can not see which one he is inclined to, as far as he is concerned, although the position of the cardinal is called "government", but now who does not know that the court can be the master of the few ministers, what can people like him do? Why don't you go out and do something practical?

p> "I don't know how to choose, but depending on the arrangement of the imperial court, no matter where it is, it is to contribute to the country, what does the minister think?" Li Fu didn't want to waste energy guessing, so he simply said bluntly and saw what Chen Yizhong said.

p> "Uncle Zhang's words are a little insincere, let you be a scribe here, are you willing to do it?" Haha, even if you want to, how can you do this, 'the country has a legacy, and the responsibility of the prime minister is also', don't hide it, a certain has recommended you to the Empress Dowager to serve as Huaixi, where is the border of my Great Song Dynasty, facing the Tartars, do you dare to go? Chen Yizhong looked at him and laughed loudly, regardless of the fact that this is an important place in the cardinal mansion, and it is very strange to occasionally pass by the scribes, is this still the Chen Xianggong who never smiles on weekdays?

p> Huaixi! Li Fu was a little blindsided for a while, of course he knew what place it was, all the way into the guard, he never received a report from the imperial court, he didn't know what happened, there were heavy troops, and the guards were all veterans, why would he suddenly transfer himself?

p> Chen Yizhong handed over a document and asked him to read it slowly, but he stood up and returned to the lobby. The text on this made Li Fu surprised, all the way the handsome minister was assassinated in his own house, is the Tartar already rampant to this point? The facts in his eyes calmed him down, this appointment is not just a simple transfer, it is also related to the life and death of an important minister, as well as the safety of the border land, and he has to think about whether he can afford it?

p> "What?" I'm afraid, Li Shuzhang, I think about it, only you are suitable, but now it seems that even you have the intention of retreating, that's it, so-and-so's words still count, you might as well think about coming to this cardinal's mansion? Seeing his expression change, Chen Yizhong shook his head and said.

p> "Xianggong said this badly, why don't you dare, even if this Luzhou City is a dragon's tiger's den, a certain is willing to break through, not to mention that I am a state capital under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty." I am busy with business, so I won't bother here, there are still some things in the camp, so I will leave first, and I will wait for the imperial edict in the camp. Listening to these harsh words, Li Fu's face did not change, he stood up, and said aloud to the hall.

p > said, Li Fu gave a deep salute, then turned to leave, Chen Yizhong looked at his back, not at all embarrassed, he leaned back in the chair, showing a thoughtful smile.

p> "What? Let's go. Hearing Li Shiyi's words, Liu Yu could only mourn for his bad luck, but it was a day late, and Jin Ming had already left here with people to return to the capital. Although he didn't come here to see him, it was a pity to miss it, and he originally wanted to leave some more people from him.

P > can only say that the northern land is too big, and now there are not enough people of 200 or so here, and now he has no right to recruit troops, and the temporary recruitment is not available. Let's go back if I go back, anyway, I can see it in Beijing, and I will discuss it when there is any time, Liu Yu calmly shook off those thoughts and continued to listen to Li Shiyi's introduction.

p> "The state capitals along the border have sent people, but they have not yet come, and according to the news that they have returned, the Tartars should have made a lot of moves, but they don't know where to send the generals." Li Shiyi handed him the information that had been summarized, and it was densely recorded with news from all over the country, basically all of which meant that the Tartars were preparing for war.

p> These things were not ordered by Liu Yu, and there was actually a great chance factor in being able to do this, and he was very satisfied with the appearance of these people. How to deal with this thing in his hand, Liu Yu hasn't thought about it for a while, and reported it to the imperial court, let's not say whether they believe it or not, how to explain the source of this news?

P> "You immediately send someone to send a copy of this to Li Shuai, he is the first to bear the brunt, and you must not guard against it." This is the first point that Liu Yu thought of, it is impossible to predict whether Li Tingzhi will pay attention to him, but he must be informed that these places are his jurisdiction, and it is impossible to hide it from him.

p> "Send these down, let them learn as much as possible, next time you might as well go deeper, focus on exploring Xiangyang Mansion, Ezhou, and even Kaifeng Mansion, where the Tartars are transferred, as long as you carefully investigate it will inevitably be rewarded, of course, you must pay attention to your own safety, eleven, something big is going to happen, do you feel it?" ”

p> Liu Yu said while handing over the things he brought, the Tartars usually send troops after September, and at this time they start to prepare, and it is not small It is certain that he doesn't know what else he can do, and his heart is full of worries. Li Shiyi's face was also grim, he didn't think so deeply, but according to Liu Yu's request, his subordinates had to take greater risks, once the spies were exposed, the chances of survival were very slim, and he didn't want anyone to have an accident.
