The remnant sun was like blood, the courtyard was golden, Zhang Xiuxiu sat in the courtyard, bathed in the residual warmth, and sat alone on the chair in a daze.

The child had fallen asleep, and her father had gone on duty, leaving her alone in the courtyard.

The guards guarding outside the courtyard were like javelins, and from time to time officials passed in front, but Zhang Xiuxiu didn't seem to see it, just holding her cheeks and staring blankly ahead.

Since coming to the Daimyo's Mansion and meeting Wang Song, Zhang Xiuxiu has never had a positive conversation with Wang Song. In fact, she didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Song.

Today's Wang Song, surrounded by the front and back, is admired by thousands of people wherever he goes. He is surrounded by women like Zhao Duofu, Huang Xin, and Zhao Ruolan, ordinary people want to see him, and ordinary women want to get close to him, which is really difficult, like climbing to the sky.

His father, Zhang Yuntian, had been appointed by Wang Song because of his cautious work, and served as the "general manager" of the Yamen of the Xuanfu Department of the Daimyo Mansion, mainly responsible for the safety of the officials of the Xuanfu Division, that is, Wang Song.

And Wang Song's elder brother Wang Qing is an official of the Jiyi Division, which is very mysterious. All this, she still overheard her father mention it.

"Wang Song, Wang Song, what kind of person are you?"

A familiar burst of laughter came, Zhang Xiuxiu's heart moved, and she couldn't help but stand up immediately.

Wang Song, Wang Qing brothers, Zhang Yuntian, and Wang Song's mother, Wang Shi, were talking and laughing, and walked over slowly.

"Song'er, General Zhai is dead, Zhai Yuanwai and Zhai Xiaoguan are guarding the city in Luoyang, there are not many helpers, have you sent troops over?"

General Zhai refers to the younger brother "Xiao Zhai" Zhai Jin in Da Zhai and Xiao Zhai, and speaking of which, he can be regarded as kind to the Wang Song brothers. Zhai Yuanwai of course refers to his brother "Da Zhai" Zhai Xing, and Zhai Xiaoguan is Zhai Xing's son Zhai Cong.

The original Zhai Xiaoguan Zhai Liang is now a high-ranking official of the Great Song Dynasty and the commander of Jiangning Mansion, and he can no longer be called a Zhai Xiaoguan.

Facing his mother's chattering questions, Wang Song smiled bitterly: "Mother, don't worry!" The people have already been sent, and they should have arrived. The soldiers brought many firearms to defend the city. Zhai Yuanwai also replied, he is now strong and strong, you can rest assured!"

Wang Qing also advised: "Mother doesn't have to worry. Erlang sent 3,000 elite soldiers and strong generals over, and there were hundreds of artillery pieces and tens of thousands of earth-shattering thunders, which was more than enough to defend the city. Mother can rest assured. ”

The two brothers glanced at each other, both shook their heads, and smiled bitterly.

Only then did Wang put his mind at ease, and said again and again: "That's good, that's good." Zhai Yuanwai is a good person and a loyal martyr. He is surrounded by our fellow villagers, and if we help him, it is equivalent to helping the villagers. This is a matter of accumulating virtue and doing good, if you can help, you can help, my mother is much more down-to-earth now!"

Zhang Yuntian smiled and said: "Old sister-in-law, Erlang, like his father, is a man who stands up to the sky. Blessed are you, with two good sons! ”

Zhang Yuntian came to see Wang Song's strength in the past few days. More than 100,000 soldiers, thousands of artillery, tens of thousands of cavalry, and a naval division that has been established......

The Son of Heaven is the one who is strong and strong. It seems that it is not impossible for Wang Song to win the world.

Seeing his daughter in the yard, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Life is like this, once you miss it, it is a world of difference.

"Xiuxiu, everything is okay here"

Wang Song asked with a smile, his demeanor was calm, and he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Zhang Xiuxiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The concubine has thanked the prince, everything is fine with the concubine!"

"Xiuxiu, you are too outward, folks in the township, if you need anything, just tell me."

Wang Song was still smiling, nodded and said.

"Xiuxiu, that is. If there is anything, just tell Song'er, don't be polite, he will definitely help you solve it!"

Time has passed, and the Wang family has already let go of the unhappiness of the past. Zhang Xiuxiu is unladylike, now a woman with a child, it's not easy, at this moment she turned her head again and took pity on Zhang Xiuxiu.

"Xiuxiu, if there is anything, go directly to Uncle Zhang or me to take care of the child."

Wang Qing solemnly confessed, his eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness, and his words seemed quite sincere.

Zhang Xiuxiu's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoyi, thank you, I know."

Wang and Zhang Xiuxiu went to see the children, Zhang Yuntian had something to do, and the two Wang Song brothers left and came to Wang Song's room together.

"Big brother, a few months have passed, and the matter at hand should be familiar!"

The Jiyi Division is a newly established department of the Loyal and Righteous Army, similar to the Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty: in charge of the palace ban, Zhou Lu Suwei, espionage intelligence, etc. However, Wang Song is a local official, not the Great Song Dynasty, and such a swaggering name of the Imperial City Division is naturally abandoned.

Jiyi Division has a principal and a deputy envoy, Wang Qing and Zhang Yuntian respectively. Zhang Yuntian was mainly responsible for the security of the city and the ministers, and Wang Qing was responsible for intelligence spying.

As for Zhang Heng, he returned to the army and is now guarding Xuzhou.

In the affairs of the Trade Division, Zhang Yuntian is just a temporary post, the main thing is still done by Huang Xin, and the decision also lies with Huang Xin, Zhang Yuntian does not care about it at all.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see what the relationship between Wang Song and Huang Xin is, and how much the Huang family has helped Wang Song. Moreover, Huang Xin is well-informed and has a flexible brain, and she is Wang Song's right-hand man, and no one wants to be disliked.

Since the day it was founded, for all military and political personnel, including the common people, Kiyiji has been a very mysterious place. Except for a few high-ranking generals and confidants in the army, ordinary people really don't know about this department.

"Those who do not know the feelings of the enemy are not benevolent, they are not human generals, they are not the lord's support, and they are not the victorious lords."

Even Sun Tzu's Art of War is so solemn, which shows that the importance of intelligence is beyond doubt. The allusion of the string high ox will not be mentioned, and the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji used spies to obtain the truth of the room Wei and broke the room Wei. After the Liao Dynasty acquired the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it even penetrated its spy tentacles into the Central Plains. And the most famous is the effective obstruction of Wang Anshi's reforms.

During the reign of Emperor Xining of the Song Dynasty. The Liao State detected that the Song Dynasty was carrying out Wang Anshi's reform, and had achieved certain results, so they began to create pressure to interfere with the change. In the fifth year of Xining, the Khitan army fished in the Jiehe River, robbed the boats on the Jiehe, shot and wounded the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, and sent thousands of cavalry to cross the Juma River, burn and loot. In June of the same year, the Liao army vigorously strengthened the city on the Song-Liao border and reviewed the army. In the end, under the repeated interference of the Liao, Wang Anshi was deposed, the new law came to an abrupt end, and the Song Dynasty lost the upper hand in the "Hedong Boundary Dispute" with the Liao, allowing the Liao to benefit greatly.

Originally, the Kiyi Division belonged to a temporary institution of the pacification division during the war, but here in Wang Song, the Kiyi Division obviously bears more responsibility.

Gather intelligence, assassinate, monitor, capture, and have your own prison, cell, etc.

Giyi has branches in various places, with different sizes and different numbers. Sometimes, the shopkeeper in the store, the man; the merchants and coolies of the ferry; The singers, bustards, and even military and political officials in the wine shop may be spies of the other party, which makes people unguardable.

This is also due to the power of the Loyal Society in the Land of the Two Rivers. As a result, the branches set up in various places and places can obtain military intelligence and government orders from various places through corrosion, so as to obtain military and political orders from various places, and then transmit the obtained military and political information to the headquarters of the Jiyi Division in the shortest possible time.

For example, the news of the Jin people's plan to attack Shaanxi was transmitted to Wang Qing in the fastest way through the Yan'an Prefecture Branch in Shaanxi Province as soon as possible.

"Second brother, rest assured, everything is already familiar and ready. The military news of Shaanxi and Lianghuai will continue to come through. I'll tell you as soon as possible. ”

Wang Song nodded and said, "Big brother, just do it, if you have any problems, just look for me."

Wang Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Second brother, the Jin people are attacking Shaanxi in a big way, and I am urging when the Loyal and Righteous Army will go." It seems that the western armies of Shaanxi also have little good impression and confidence in Zhang Jun. ”

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I know that you are from the family army and have old thoughts about the Western Army. You tell Tan Yan to avoid the golden man for the time being. As for the movements of our army, we must not leak half a point to him. ”

Wang Song knew the end of history, and it was likely that there would be more and more Jin people in Shaanxi, and a big battle with the Western Army would form a new "Battle of Fuping". The Western Army was defeated, and the Jin people took complete control of Shaanxi.

But these words, we must not leak the slightest bit of information to these people. In case the Jin people don't come, or if they know that the loyal and righteous army is going to join in, they will lose the possibility of a surprise attack and a big break of the Jin people.

"Big brother, how are the affairs of Jiangnan handled now?"

From beginning to end, Wang Song still remembered the uprising of Zhong Xiang Yang Qi in history. After all, this war lasted for a long time, and the old one was quite big, and it was exterminated by Yue Fei.

"Second brother, you're right worried, Yang Mi and the others are getting more and more troublesome now."

Wang Qing nodded and said: "In the winter of last year, the Jin people broke Yangzhou, broke through Jiujiang, and slaughtered Tanzhou. Dongting Lake was devastated by the Jin people, the people were struggling to make a living, coupled with the severe drought, the government forcibly expropriated and expropriated, causing hundreds of thousands of people in Dongting Lake to take risks. Yang Qi's subordinates already have fifty or sixty thousand people. ”

"The spies have already been sent, and I believe there will be news soon. In addition, there are also our eyes and ears on the side of the imperial court, and the second brother can rest assured. ”

Wang Qing looked at his younger brother, his eyes were gloomy, and he seemed to have something on his mind.

Seeing the emaciated and lonely appearance of the eldest brother, Wang Song remembered Wang Qing's eyes looking at Zhang Xiuxiu, and his heart moved.

"Big brother, if you fall in love with Zhang Xiuxiu, you will marry her. Zhang Xiuxiu is a good person, I think the two of you are quite suitable, so don't delay it any longer. ”

Wang Qing was taken aback, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at his younger brother, and said secretly in his heart: Could it be that my younger brother has realized his heart for Zhang Xiuxiu

"Second brother, if I am with Xiuxiu, you won't be unhappy in your heart, right?"

Wang Qing glanced at his younger brother and said softly: "Big brother doesn't want you to be difficult, and big brother can also see that Xiuxiu still has you in his heart."

"Big brother, you may think badly, she may feel indebted to me, but it is impossible to have affection for me."

Wang Song smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You are the eldest son in the family, you must quickly settle your marriage." I don't have any affection for Zhang Xiuxiu, you still married her earlier, and you also learned about a major event in your mother's heart. ”

Since his mother arrived in Hebei, she has been urging him in his ear, urging him to get married as soon as possible, and the old man wants to hug his grandson as soon as possible.

He could also feel that Zhao Duofu had already moved the idea of getting married. A woman like her, drifting outside, following Wang Song, is not clear, it is very difficult for her.

This is not the afterlife, and rumors can kill people. It seems that I have to think about getting married.

and Zhao Ruolan, in the loyal army, everyone knows her relationship with herself. But he never seemed to think about marrying her.

Boyfriend and girlfriend, only talk about feelings, not about marriage. This is not the afterlife, and it is difficult for anyone to start from the beginning. In any case, he had to give the other party an explanation.
