When the time came to July, the north became hotter and hotter, and the mission guards led by Lu Zifei also suspended the first phase of training, and in the absence of adequate medical conditions, the high-intensity training soldiers could not bear it, and heat stroke was commonplace, until the number of people in shock gradually increased, and Lu Zifei realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yang Huaiyu and Wang Yuen are all from a family of generals, and after a long period of training, they deeply realized the power of Lu Zifei's training method.

They really can't figure out how much an army has changed in more than 40 days, when there are complaints, anxiety, and irritability among the soldiers, Lu Zifei will gather everyone and tell them stories, there are passionate personal heroes, and there are affectionate love stories, in Yang Huaiyu's opinion, Lu Zifei is an omnipotent god.

"My lord, the front is Zhending Mansion, should I wait for the next few adults." Wang Yuen, who was shirtless, said.

Now that you change acquaintances, you may not be able to recognize Lu Zifei, his face is tanned, and some places are tanned and peeled, but his teeth are still as white as ever, and he bites a dog's tail grass in his mouth and said casually: "It's time to wait, how far are they going." ”

"About two days away"

Lu Zifei said: "Actually, it's better to wait in Zhending Mansion than to go to Hejian Mansion, but Lord Liang is the main envoy, let's wait for them to arrive and discuss!" Who is in charge now on the side of Zhending Mansion. ”

Wang Yuen usually doesn't pay attention to these how he knows, but Yang Huaiyu in the back said: "Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion are on the front line of resisting the invasion of the north, so there have always been envoys in charge, and now it should be Lord Du Yan." ”

This old man of Su Shunqin still did not resist the attack and annihilation of the old forces, and the man in his sixties was still standing firm in the north, contributing his last strength to the Great Song Dynasty, such a person deserves his admiration.

"Just camp outside the city and tell the soldiers that they can go and play, but if anyone dares to cause trouble, the small black house will wait, and those who can't all pour into the city at once, and those who want to enter the city will go in batches."

Lu Zifei returned to his residence and changed into a Confucian shirt, this time he went to visit as a junior, the general's clothes were too conspicuous, he chose a suitable gift and went towards Zhending Mansion.

The inspection of the city gate of Zhendingfu is not as lax as the mainland, they are strict inspections in the real sense, and it is almost the same as taking a plane to go through the security check in the future generations, even if Lu Zifei took out the road guide and official certificate, he just let them not search their bodies, and the gift was still opened for them to see.

The streets of the city are not as desolate as he imagined, and the bustling crowd proves that there are many people living here, but what he doesn't know is that most of these people are the families of soldiers stationed in the north, and there is a little leeway, who wants to live under the knife.

The position of the envoy is greater than that of the pacification envoy, and some of the envoys can pass several roads, the road is the largest administrative region of the Song Dynasty, and in later generations it is the secretary of the provincial party committee and the commander of the military region of many provinces.

Of course, the mobilization of the army must have the common warrant of the emperor, the Privy Council, and the Ministry of War, otherwise the power of the envoy is greater than that of the envoy in the post-Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen can sleep peacefully in Bianjing.

Du Yan took the post and glanced at it a few times, still thinking about who this Lu Hanzhang was, and the staff next to him said: "My lord forgot, isn't this this this year's new champion?" The one who also has a good relationship with his uncle, I heard that he is the captain of the mission guard to Liao this time, and it seems that he passed through Zhending Mansion and came to visit. ”

"People are old, and their memories are not good, Xiwen and Zhigui are full of praise for him at the beginning! Zimei still needs his help in things, so invite someone in! ”

As soon as Lu Zifei entered the hall, he decided that the old man with white hair and energetic spirit was Du Yan, took two steps closer to show respect, performed a senior salute, and said with a smile: "You are old and healthy, this is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Du Yan also said with a smile: "I said that it was a blessing, but I am afraid that I have been scolding for a long time in my heart, how can this old immortal not die, he occupies the toilet all day and does not, and we young people have no place to work hard." ”

"What the kid said is from the bottom of his heart, the great Song Dynasty can have today's prosperity, it is inseparable from the hard work of the older generation, the boy sincerely wishes you a long life, and for us juniors, I will shelter from the wind and rain for a while."

This sycophant is called art, Du Yan said happily: "Since it is your kid's intention, then the old man will accept it, why didn't Liang Shi come, did you look down on me, an outdated governor of political affairs." ”

Generally, a feudal official like Du Yan will have a relatively high title, and Du Yan's title of governor has not been removed by the imperial court, so he said so.

Lu Zifei explained: "Lord Liang still has two days to go to Zhending Mansion, and the kid is leading troops for the first time, so he walked a little faster, you misunderstood Lord Liang." ”

Du Yan nodded, and then said, "How could the imperial court let you be in charge of the security of the mission?" Isn't it usually the Privy Council that sends people to do such things? ”

Lu Zifei smiled bitterly: "I really let you tell me right, the kid was recommended by the Privy Council, and the outrageous thing is that the emperor and the ministers actually agreed." ”

Du Yan thought for a while and said: "No, there must be something else related to you, otherwise the emperor would not let you out, and you will go up casually for a year or two, and you can't take such a big risk." ”

"Do you think it has anything to do with the opening of the Song and Liao countries? You know kids are good at money. ”

Du Yan patted his thigh and said: "Isn't this right, the emperor is not a superficial person, how can he easily release a baby bump like yours at will, and it is such a barren place." ”

"The kid doesn't think so, when he wasn't an official, he thought about how to show his ambitions every day after becoming an official, and now I know that officialdom is not what you can do what you think, the north seems dangerous, and the actual safety can no longer be safe, if there is a choice, I think I will choose to come to the north." Lu Zifei sighed.

Du Yan said: "It's good that you can think like this, the emperor is now bent on concentrating power in his hands, no matter how big your ambitions are, it is impossible to achieve them, don't talk about this, what do you think about the affairs of the field." ”

Lu Zifei has thought about this question countless times, and he doesn't need to think about it, he said directly: "The mutual market is something that is beneficial to both parties, and the kid agrees, and in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." ”

"It is very likely that you are the person in charge of this battle, the position of captain of the guard is just a cover, and you will definitely not be able to return to the capital in a short time." Du Yan said that he had his own ideas, and he was not as beautiful as outsiders looked at.

Lu Zifei said in surprise: "When I left Beijing, the emperor and the Zhongshu side didn't give me instructions in this regard!" ”

Du Yan said: "What's the hurry, the holy decree is not normal for you, Zhang Tangqing is responsible for all matters in the Liao State, and you are responsible for the construction of the field, it is obvious, but the imperial court is very bold enough to use two such young teenagers to do such an important thing." ”

"This is just your guess, wait until the facts are in front of you! Is there any news from Mr. Su's side lately? ”

"Today, the old man is going to bully the small, Zimei's current situation is not good, although the letter to me is open-minded, but I can see that he is very depressed, you have to contribute to this matter, otherwise you kid don't want to live well in the Northland."

When the old man said such things, Lu Zifei thought that he would feel very uncomfortable in his heart!

"Mr. Zimei is my master's best friend, and the boy is also a teacher and friend, this matter is obligatory for the boy, when I was in the capital, I wanted to mention this matter to the emperor, but Uncle Bao blocked me and asked me to intercede with the emperor after a year and a half."

Du Yan said: "Xiren is right, it will indeed make the emperor uncomfortable if he is in a hurry, I will leave the matter to you, I have time to write more letters to persuade him, I am afraid that he will be slumped from now on." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Mr. Zimei's personality is not suitable for entering the officialdom, don't worry, I will always follow up on this matter." ”

When leaving, Du Yan gave Lu Zifei enough respect and personally sent out the gate of the yamen, and many people were speculating who this young man was, and it was worthy of being sent by the master in person.

"You're roasting the kid on the fire!" Lu Zifei is bitter and can't say.

Du Yan smiled like an old fox and said: "The world takes this too seriously, who stipulates that the elders can't send the juniors, remember that you must pay attention to safety when you go to Liao." ”

Three days later, Liang Shi came with his second general, and people who don't know still think that they are playing in the mountains and rivers? Seeing the forbidden army with the overall appearance of the army, the grain did not hesitate to praise: "You kid has fought for us literati."

"In his position, seeking his government, being a monk for a day will hit the clock for a day, these are all things within the official position, my lord will live in Zhending Mansion tonight or live in the barracks."

Liang Shi said: "Zhending Mansion will not go in, rest all night and we will rush to Hejian Mansion tomorrow, the people of the Liao Kingdom are already impatient with the slow speed of my old man." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Don't be too used to them, the era of arrogance has passed, and the two sides are now on an equal footing." ”

Zhang Tangqing said with a smile: "Look over there, the person who is not convinced of you is here, and after being rejected by you, he has already released cruel words, and he wants to compete with the Praetorian Guards you trained." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Liu Liufu can still say such polite words, he must have said that he wants to teach me a lesson, a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”

"Haha, can't you pretend you don't know?"

Liu Liufu came over with his nostrils facing the sky and squinted at Lu Zifei and said, "It seems that Lord Lu has finished training, and how about having time to make moves with our Da Liao warriors." ”

Lu Zifei walked towards the tent, but the words remained.

"As long as Lord Liu wants to, I will accompany me to the end, why should the good men of the Great Song Dynasty fight?"
