In a big mansion in Chang'an, Longyou Jiedu made Zhu Jun slam the table, glared at Wang Lianen angrily and said: "Bastard, who told you to go to him, why didn't you tell me and act without permission?" ”

Wang Lianen is Zhu Jun's subordinate general and his confidant, and it is also because Zhu Jun has walked through Cui Youfu's path for him that he was highly recommended by Cui Youfu as the governor of Ganzhou.

He stood with his hands down, trembling and said: "The humble post knows that he has changed the generals of the new army, and if he goes to Ganzhou to replace the generals there, he will inevitably be contradicted by the generals of Ganzhou, so he has no heart to investigate the truth of the defeat, and the humble post is very worried." ”

"I told you, wars will always fail, you have your own decisions, and the generals below may not understand, you don't take the defeat of Ganzhou too seriously, you just go to Daizhou honestly to take office, why do you have to draw snakes and go to Guo Song, you do this clearly to cover up, do you think Guo Song will not be able to see through your careful thoughts?"

"I regret my humble position a little, but I've already said it, what should I do now?"

Zhu Jun walked to the front of the lobby with his hands, he was really a little upset, his return to Beijing to report on his work had ended, but the Son of Heaven just did not approve his return to Longyou, he felt that the imperial court was likely to empty him in the capital.

But if you fight for it again, maybe the Son of Heaven will agree to let him leave Beijing, but at this juncture, Wang Lianen, a bastard, ran to meet with Guo Song, and persuaded the other party to clear the generals of the Ganzhou Army.

This reminds others to pay attention to this matter, if it is not good, Wang Lianen's unclean shit on his buttocks will affect himself.

Zhu Jun held back his monstrous anger and said to Wang Lianen: "You give me a good explanation of the real reason for the defeat of the Ganzhou army, and you must explain it truthfully, and you must not hide it at all." ”

Ganzhou originally had 15,000 defenders, but last autumn the 10,000 Ganzhou army took the initiative to attack, but was besieged by 30,000 Shatuo cavalry, with extremely heavy casualties, nearly 7,000 killed or captured, and Wang Lianen was also dismissed.

It's just that he got Zhu Zhu's guidance, and the reason for the heavy casualties was attributed to the fact that he would rather die than retreat in order to protect the people, so he was praised by the first emperor Li Yu, and was named the governor of Daizhou.

But what is the truth?

Wang Lianen swallowed and said: "Deputy Governor Zhang Wenmao is a person promoted by the Zhao family, the relationship between the humble position and him has been bad, the humble position has wanted to kill him several times, but his subordinate forces are relatively strong, just when the Shatuo army is coming, the humble post will use the excuse to support Qilian to defend and capture, and lead 10,000 troops to Qilian to defend and capture, and encountered 30,000 Shatuo cavalry surrounded, first the right army of 2,000 people were surrounded, and the humble post ordered Zhang Wenmao to lead the headquarters of 5,000 troops to rescue the right army, as a result, they also fell into a heavy siege, and the humble post felt that he could not lose any more, He led 3,000 left troops to quickly retreat back to Zhangye City, and Zhang Wenmao and his army never returned. ”

Zhu Jun said coldly: "You actually borrowed a knife to kill people, and got rid of Zhang Wenmao with the hands of Shatuo people, didn't you?" ”

Wang Lianen didn't dare to speak, just nodded slightly, and Zhu Jun looked at him for a long time, "Why didn't you say it before?" ”

"Humble ...... I dare not say it. ”

Zhu Jun's face softened slightly, and he said: "You want to use the means of borrowing a knife to kill people to eliminate dissidents, which is not a big problem in itself, but you have lost 7,000 soldiers, and the matter is big, almost half of the Ganzhou army has been lost, do you think that the imperial court will send reinforcements to Ganzhou after the beginning of spring, and you are still the governor of Ganzhou?" ”

"Exactly!"

Wang Lianen muttered: "I just didn't expect Yushi to be impeached because of this, how could they get the news?" ”

"That's your self-righteousness, the imperial history that impeached you is called Li Bing, a member of the Dugu family, why did the Dugu family impeach you, what is the reason for yourself?"

Wang Lianen thought about it, and suddenly woke up, "Could it be the Zhao family?" ”

Zhu Jun snorted and said, "You understand now!" You think you are smart, and you killed Zhao Tengjiao's henchman Zhang Wenmao by the hand of Shatuo, how can the Zhao family give up, if I didn't try my best to intercede for you, the first emperor would have let this matter go, and you could still serve as the governor of Daizhou? ”

Wang Lianen hurriedly knelt down on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "Make the king a great favor, and you can't repay the humble rank and rank!" ”

"Get up! Don't do stupid things behind my back in the future, don't you make an example, understand? ”

"Humble, remember!"

Zhu Zhu took a few steps and said, "There should still be your henchmen in Ganzhou, right?" ”

"Zhonglang Yuhu and Zhang Liang were brought to take office by lowly positions, in addition, Zhonglang General Li Hui owes me a great favor, and several Lang generals were also promoted by lowly positions."

"What about the civil servant?" Zhu Jun asked again.

Wang Lianen hesitated for a moment and said: "The Zhangye County Order was promoted by a lowly position, and there are still a few officials in the Governor's Mansion, but if you go to Daizhou for a lowly position, you have to hire people, so you can only take them away." ”

Zhu Jun shook his head, "I heard that the Zhangye County Order has issued an order, the original Zhangye County Order has been transferred to Longyou, and the new County Order is served by Cao Wannian, the Order of Yulin County, Fengzhou, who is a person from Guo Song, do you understand?" ”

Wang Lianen sighed, "This is expected from the humble position. ”

Zhu Jun said again: "You immediately write to your henchmen in Ganzhou, be sure to ask them to find a way to stop Guo Song's investigation of the defeat in Ganzhou, this matter is over, I don't want any more waves, some people are dissatisfied with me, they will definitely make a fuss about this matter." ”

Wang Lianen didn't expect that the matter would affect the old boss, he was really a little frightened and said: "I'll write a letter when I go back!" ”

………..

Wang Lianen left, Zhu Jun took a few steps in the lobby, how can I let the Son of Heaven let him go back to Longyou?

Zhu Jun also realized that although Guo Song was a potential threat to himself, he was also an opportunity for him to return to Longyou, he brought so many military supplies, grain, and grass baggage, if his team was attacked in Longyou and suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would let himself return to Longyou to clean up the mess.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun wrote a letter, found a confidant, handed the letter to him, and instructed him a few words, the henchman put away the letter, rode away from Chang'an, and rushed to Longyou.

………..

As night fell, the soldiers of the barracks rested early, and they would set off before dawn tomorrow, and they had already packed up and waited for the order to go.

Guo Song was tidying up the table in the big tent and putting the paperwork into the bookcase, when a soldier came in and reported: "Qi Yu Dudu, someone outside the camp gate has visited, saying that it is an old friend of the Dudu." ”

"Who is it?"

The soldier presented the post, Guo Song glanced at it, and hurriedly said, "Invite him in!"

Guo Song really didn't expect that it would be Zhao Tengjiao who came to find him.

Of course, it is not surprising that Zhao Tengjiao was appointed as the governor of Ganzhou, and he had a good relationship with himself, Guo Song wanted to visit him a few days ago, and heard that he was the envoy of the Biansong Festival and was not in the capital, so he gave up this idea, but he didn't expect him to come back and come to see him on the eve of his departure.

Guo Song hurriedly came out of the tent to greet him, and at this time, Zhao Tengjiao hurriedly walked in under the leadership of the soldiers, Guo Song stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhao Tengjiao also smiled: "I heard that my brother was appointed as the governor of Ganzhou, which surprised me, but also made me happy, congratulations to my brother." ”

Guo Song invited Zhao Tengjiao to sit down in the side tent, and asked the soldiers to serve tea.

Zhao Tengjiao asked, "When will Brother Xian leave?" ”

"I'll leave tomorrow before dawn."

Zhao Tengjiao rejoiced: "I hurried and hurried, but I still caught up, and I can see the virtuous brother!" ”

Guo Song was stunned, "Brother is coming back to see me?" ”

Zhao Tengjiao nodded, "Wang Lianen killed my henchman, how can I give up!" ”

"Who is Brother Zhao referring to?"

"Zhang Wenmao, the deputy governor of Ganzhou, Wang Lianen, the dog thief killed him by the hands of the Shatuo people, Zhang Wenmao's son escaped from the chaotic army, did not dare to return to Zhangye, and fled directly back to the capital to find me, he concealed the truth of the strength of the Shatuo army, and sent Zhang Wenmao and 5,000 troops to rescue the right army, which resulted in the 5,000 army being surrounded by the 30,000 army of Shatuo, the whole army was destroyed, and Zhang Wenmao also died in the chaos."

Guo Song groaned and said: "From the perspective of army mobilization, there is nothing wrong with Wang Lianen sending Zhang Wenmao to rescue the right army, if you use this reason to bring down Wang Lianen, I think it is a little difficult." ”

Guo Song said very frankly, if Zhao Tengjiao rushed back from Bianzhou just because of this incident, would it be a bit of a fuss? Guo Song felt that Zhao Tengjiao still had something to hide from himself, although he didn't have a good impression of Wang Lianen, but he didn't want to be someone else's knife in a daze.

Zhao Tengjiao groaned and said: "I'll tell you the truth, this matter actually involves the infighting between the Guanlong nobles, the struggle between the Dugu family and the Yuan family, does the virtuous brother know that the Yuan family and Zhu Jun have formed an alliance?" ”

Guo Song remembered that he had seen Zhu Zhu and Yuan Lu together in the restaurant, and he nodded, "I have seen Zhu Zhu and the Yuan family have a close relationship. ”

"Zhu Zhu was detained in the capital, not let him return to Longyou, the Dugu family wants to take down the post of Longyou Jiedu envoy, I proposed to use Wang Lianen to kill Zhang Wenmao to make a fuss, as long as the truth is told to the Son of Heaven, then Zhu Zhu for Wang Lianen's various exculpations will be suspected of bullying the king, Zhu Zhu will not be able to return to Longyou at all, this is equivalent to breaking the Yuan family's arm, if the Dugu family recommends someone to serve as the envoy of Longyoujiedu, the Yuan family will be completely suppressed."

Guo Song smiled faintly: "Is Brother Zhao persuading me to get on the boat of the Dugu family?" ”

Zhao Tengjiao secretly screamed, Guo Song actually saw the deeper meaning of the Dugu family, the factional struggle of the Tang military is very strong, and people like Guo Song from the Dragon faction have always been the other party drawn by all parties.

"Could it be that Brother Xian still has hope of reconciliation with the Yuan family?" Zhao Tengjiao looked at Guo Song with a smile.

Guo Song was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "I can't get on the boat of the Dugu family, I'll talk about it later, but I like to see that the Yuan family can lose the battle for power." ”

………..

Guo Song sent Zhao Tengjiao away, and Zhang Qianyi smiled and said, "Does the governor want to get on the ship of the Dugu family?" ”

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Only things that can't be obtained in this world will make people look forward to more." ”

Zhang Qianyi pondered for a moment and said: "The Dugu family did not show enough sincerity, and the governor agreed too early, but they would despise it. ”

Guo Song shook his head, "It's not that they are unwilling to show sincerity, but they are jealous, in fact, even if I agree today, the Dugu family may not dare to accept it, so Zhao Tengjiao is just here to test, but ....... can cooperate with each other, it is exactly what I want!" ”
