More than half a year ago, Xinfeng Hongmen pig burst into the Yong camp, Dou Rong's subordinates were adjacent to Liang Qiuci, and he was told by Dasikong Wangyi to behave well, but he was robbed of the limelight by a yellow scarf under the command of Wu Lun, and lost the opportunity to face the saint.

Dou Rong has always been low-key, and he was bent on going to Hexi to avoid trouble, but he didn't take this matter to heart, but today by chance, he actually met the two again.

Fifth Lun looked injured and couldn't give it up, so he only bowed to Dou Rong. Liang Qiu was on the same level as Dou Rong, and compared his hands at will, and it could be seen that he was quite wary of himself.

Dou Rong didn't care much, he only looked at the burned Lilu, the ruined scenes along the way, and the trampled bean and wheat fields in the fields.

"It's all on the East Coast."

When Dou Rong raised doubts, Liang Qiuci was even more vigilant, and said with a smile: "Foolish people and foolish women, they panicked when they saw Fengyan from afar, and they rushed to cross the river first. ”

This statement is almost the same as Ma Yuan expected, but the second half of the sentence is true. The people of Xinqinzhong were afraid that Dou Rong's subordinates were also "soldiers and bandits", so they would grate them after Hu Lu, after all, Dou Rong's boss Lian Dan's notorious reputation for killing good and risking merit was famous all over the world.

"Captain Liangqiu can rest assured, Captain Dou has strict military discipline and will never kill innocents indiscriminately, and this time he went south to help."

The one who spoke was Peng Feng Yan under the door of the shogunate of the first general, the word Jingtong, he had a relationship with the fifth Lun in Xinfeng, but I don't know if he forgot the fifth Lun, or if he was on official business, he didn't even say hello. First of all, it tells the story of the general Han Wei who lightly advanced against the enemy, regardless of the orders of the superior, and the army was wiped out.

"According to rumors, Han Wei himself is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he has lowered his beard."

After announcing this blockbuster news, Feng Yan asked Liang Qiuci and Wu Lun to tell me what happened in this new Qin?

Dou Rong said: "After all, we went all the way south, and we only encountered Hulu Scout Rangers. ”

Liang Qiuci coughed lightly and began to tell his story.

Similar to what Wu Lun and Ma Yuan expected in advance, Liang Qiuci desperately tried to cover up his incompetence against the enemy in order to keep his official title, so that the Xiongnu drove hundreds of miles all the way to the Yellow River.

Liang Qiuci said that the Hu brigade was blocked west of Lian County, and only a small part of the scouts and rangers escaped the net, and ran to the Yellow River in a daze, where they were annihilated by the Fifth Lun.

As for the burning, looting, and scourge, it was the work of the remnants of the bandits, and they have all been exterminated, and their heads are hung at the city gates to set an example.

After Liang Qiuci's story was told, Dou Rong and Feng Yan glanced at each other, and some were suspicious.

"The head of the bandits, hanging at the head of the city, we have seen it, where is the head of Captain Liangqiu's subordinates who killed Hu Lu?"

Liang Qiuci sent people to look for them everywhere, and indeed got a dozen or so Xiongnu heads, which were displayed and explained: "Hu Lu saw that he couldn't enter, so he led his troops away, and most of the killers and wounded of Guo crossbow arrows in Fengsui City were taken away." ”

Feng Yan turned his gaze to the silent Fifth Lun on the side.

"What about the fish defending against the Hulu by the river?"

Liang Qiuci was extremely nervous, his story was going to come true, the fifth Lun was lightweight, even if the fifth Lun on the road said that only Liang Qiuci's life was obeyed, but it still made people feel uneasy, but there was nothing they could do about him.

Unexpectedly, the fifth Lun said obediently: "Everything is as Captain Liangqiu said. ”

Liang Qiuci landed a big stone in his heart, it seems that Fifth Lun did not lie to himself, next, he only needs to get Feng Yan. is the so-called downward transmission and upward transmission, and Feng Yan is the messenger between them and General Genshi.

But Liang Qiuci forgot the second rule of the officialdom of the new dynasty: "What you say on the surface can't be counted, and the transaction behind the scenes is true!" ”

……

Liang Qiuci is really a model of a swollen face and a fat man, and he did not agree to let Dou integrate into the garrison of Lian County, but asked them to be stationed in Lingwu County, where the Huns had not encountered the Xiongnu in the north, but they were afraid that the Huns would go and return, so they could only say that they asked the fifth Lun to move to the west bank with the fifth battalion.

Feng Yan did not immediately go north to reply to Lian Dan, but used his identity to wander around the counties in Xinqin, looking at the ruins and the refugees who returned home one after another, thinking of the three generations without police in the past few decades, and only sighed.

But the people sent by Liang Qiuci to follow him tried their best to prevent him from communicating with the people, and only let the county magistrate and county lieutenant in Shanghe City to accompany them, and they also wanted to get rid of the guilt of failing to defend the land, and they had long stood on the same front with Liang Qiuci, and their words were mostly praises for Liang Qiuci.

In addition, Liang Qiuci spared no effort and desperately wanted to bribe Feng Yansai, but the beautiful maids were all sacrificed, and even moved out of his great-grandfather Liang Qiuci, who was an official with Feng Yan's great-grandfather Feng Fengshi when he was in Xuanyuan, to make friends.

"After the Liang Qiu clan is the eleventh hero of the Qilin Pavilion, my family can't afford to climb high." Feng Yan refused everything with a smile, and proposed to go to the fifth battalion in Lian County to have a look.

The head of the Hu that Wu Lun captured, Feng Yan had already clicked it a few days ago, and Liang Qiuci didn't know what his idea was, so he offered to accompany Feng Yan in person.

Feng Yan did not refuse, and after the group arrived in Lian County, he was still looked at to death, but he saw that many people stranded on the east bank had returned and were repairing the Lilu wall.

There was also a group of young people holding wooden spears, following the soldiers and dangbai sent by the fifth battalion to practice spears, shouting and stabbing at the straw men wearing felt hats, their eyes full of resentment. even organized a team of cavalry, with Meng Ze as the hundred, patrolling day and night at the southern foot of Helan Mountain, cooperating with Fengsui to monitor the situation outside the Saiwai.

When asked by Feng Yan, Wu Lun only said: "It takes manpower to resist Hulu, where is it enough to rely on soldiers alone, and all the people have to prepare Hu together." ”

"The new Qin in the north is approaching Rong Di, the world of the Han Dynasty and the martial arts of the previous dynasty practiced combat preparation, noble strength, shooting and hunting first, and most of them were selected by Yulin Lang, so there were many famous generals such as Fu Jiezi and Gan Yanshou, but they were slack off after a long time."

Fifth Lun said this, glanced at Liang Qiuci, who was full of nervousness, and said with a smile: "Now that they are close to the Hulu, and even a small group of rangers have penetrated deep into the hinterland, the people are frightened, but it is a good time to regain their armament." ”

Therefore, the militia that should be practiced had to be practiced, which made Feng Yan remember deeply, and after returning to Lingwu County the next day, he talked to Dou Rong and called Dou Zhougong to praise him.

"Xin Qinzhong can not be lost, thanks to the power of the fifth Boyu, on the other hand, Liang Qiuci, flickering words, covering up, his words are not credible."

"That's nature." Feng Yanyan took out a silk letter, Liang Qiuci was still nominally in charge of the lieutenant of Xinqin Middle School, and the two of them went south this time to assist in defense rather than take over, so they couldn't give orders to him, and they didn't even have the opportunity to consult with Fifth Lun privately.

But it is very simple to exchange letters in the middle of nowhere.

"Dingli male, Jun Sima Wulun, kowtow and kowtow!"

Fifth Lun bluntly said that as a subordinate of Liang Qiuci, he should have complied with everything, but he did not dare to hide anything from Feng Yan and Lian Dan, the first general.

In the letter, Wu Lun told a story that was very different from that of Liang Qiuci.

In this story, Liang Qiuci was stupid and incompetent, did not guard in advance, and did not panic until the wolf smoke rose, and his first reaction was to keep the door behind closed doors, conniving at Hu Cai's long drive straight into the Yellow River, and the Huns even planned to cross the river to get in touch with the remnants of Lu Fang, if so, the new Qin Zhong would be erosive.

The 5th Battalion crossed the river and fought bravely to save the people from fire and water. He also sent people to return to the fallen Lilu late at night to kill the Huns, and he was full of clever plans, but no matter how much he tossed, he was a drop in the bucket after all, and he was powerless to change the overall situation.

At this time, fortunately, the wise general expected the enemy in advance, sent Dou Rong south, 5,000 tigers, full of banners, and defeated the Hun rangers, so that King Hu was cowardly, and could only retreat in a hurry.

The letter finally said: For the sake of the soldiers who died, for the people who died in vain, in order to prevent such a tragedy from happening in this thousands of miles, Wu Lun can only tell the "truth"!

Feng Yan showed his letter and Dou Rong took a look: "Zhou Gong thinks that what Liang Qiuci said is nine false and one true, so is the story of the fifth Boyu credible?" ”

Dou Rong said: "Nine truths and one falsehood. ”

He smiled and said: "The fake one is about our department, since he went south, how could he have fought with Hu Lu?" The fifth Lun will give the greatest credit to my subordinates. ”

Dou Rong's meritorious service is not the point, the point is that Lian Dan, who sent him south, knows people and is good at his duties, and he is like a god!

"Boyu is a person who understands."

Feng Yan only sighed like this.

Liang Qiuci was too frightened, and while beware of Dou Rong's robbery, he only stared at Feng Yan's bribery, but forgot a little.

The most critical part of the whole thing is not who really made meritorious contributions, defeated the Huns, how many people died, how many soldiers were killed in battle, the truth is not important to the superiors.

And who told the story was most in the interests of Lian Dan, the first general, who was the only one who had the right to explain the war.

Han Wei fought a big defeat, and the news came back to Chang'an, and the emperor was disappointed, he was bound to be furious, and he must definitely be held responsible. Although Lian Dan united with Taishi Wang Kuang to throw the pot on the dead man, he could even make Han Wei, who had died in battle, "lower Hu", and turn him into a big new traitor who brought Hu Lu into the Kou. But why they don't come out of the fortress, there must be an explanation, this battle of the new Qinzhong, it has to show that the first general is well arranged.

In order to protect yourself, you Liang Qiuci took all the merits of repelling the Hu people and protecting the county and the county on your head, but it seems that it is redundant for General Shi to send troops south.

"The people in the new Qin are unfortunate and involved in this unwarranted disaster, the generals have their own thoughts, fight for power and profit, and will do a good job of attacking Hu, turning into a loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and the Huns into the Kou."

"But Xin Qinzhong is lucky, with a military official like Boyu, he can not only turn the tide on the battlefield and protect them, but also protect their interests in the secret battle."

Only by doing so can Lian Dan be satisfied, and attach the "small credit" of the fifth battalion as a witness to the song, so that the long crowd will not be completely blocked.

Feng Yan put away the letter carefully, he had already heard the story he wanted, the story that Lian Dan liked, and the story that could give the court an explanation.

"I will report this battle to General Genshi 'truthfully'!"

When Feng Yan was leaving, he also teased Dou Rong, who was lying down, and said: "Duke Zhou is only afraid that he will be promoted, and he will even have the opportunity to be a general, thanks to the fifth Lun." During this period of time, Zhou Gong has to treat Boyu well! ”

But for no reason, Dou Rong, who was planted with a big gift, couldn't cry or laugh, is this the fifth Lun who gave him back the credit that he snatched at the beginning of the year?

has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and Dou Rong, who has been a baron, has also seen through it, and it is useless to reward any meritorious service.

"I just want to go to the four counties of Hexi and protect the clan in this season." Dou Rong shouted wildly in his heart, just this small wish, but it has repeatedly not been realized.

But after thinking about it, Dou Rong said secretly: "This new Qinzhong is the throat of Helong, although it is close to Qianghu and is precarious, but on the other hand, it is the closest place for me to the four counties of Hexi." Once the world changes, light riding westward, ten days can arrive at Zhangye (Wuwei), I from my brother Dou You in that to do the big Yin, can be each other's horns, can advance or retreat. ”

Dou Rong thought for a moment: "Do I want to push the boat down the river and ask the big Sikong of the court to help me operate it, so that I can stay here often?" ”
