The sky is high and the clouds are light, in the golden autumn and August, the dead wood can be seen on the steep hills and hills on the plug, and the streets of the city have long lost their prosperity, and most of the people can not hide in the cold wind of hunting. At this time, the year became a thing, and Wang Hui in the official office also explained that his subordinates could temporarily suspend Tuntian, since Wang Hui arrived at Ren Xing's Tuntian, most of the grain depots in the three cities were full for many months.

In recent days, in addition to paying salaries to soldiers and giving relief to the poor according to the order of the imperial court, Wang Hui also began to vigorously guard against the invasion of Turkic Tubo and other ethnic groups. Regarding this military training, he was entrusted to several of the most trusted generals, and Lu Zheng was among them.

However, Lu Zheng promised Liu Jun to make a ten-day deadline for recovering Baoyu, and now there are only three days left, and he is investigating and secretly visiting several cities, but the clues have been repeatedly interrupted, so Lu Zheng is a little discouraged.

At this time, Lu Zheng was stepping into the threshold of the palace in Zhongshou City, but he heard a voice: "Yang Neishou is loyal to the current emperor with me, and these insignificant courtesies should also be deserved." This plug is now in abundance, so please bring this thing to the house of Yang Neishi for me. ”

Lu Zheng walked up and clearly saw that it was a eunuch who was delivering a decree, and walked out of the official office later, and Wang Hui saw Lu Zheng coming, so he asked: "I heard that you met with Liu Jun's envoy, and then you sought the lost jade for him?" ”

Lu Zheng naturally did not cover up Wang Hui's questioning, and told everything before and after, and Wang Hui also had some doubts when he heard it. And Wang Hui ordered: "This matter cannot be investigated again, if it is easy to investigate, Liu Junenvoy has already recovered the stolen goods, even if you have some clues, don't meddle in it." I can expect that this thief has already left the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. ”

When Lu Zheng heard this, he was helpless, so he said: "Since it is as Dadu Hu said, it is really useless to look for it again." However, I think this thief is really a good means, and it seems that he has a plan to disappear. ”

"This Liu Junenvoy still likes to show off too much, so it is common sense that the jade is stolen, but if a piece of jade is lost, if it is kept being traced, it will turn the world upside down, and it will inevitably be true."

After Wang Hui finished speaking, he patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder, and said: "Now that the imperial court has sent someone here, Yang Neishi, who is in charge of the Inner Servant Province, has admonished me in front of His Majesty that I want to recruit the poor army in the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and I came to announce the decree just now." ”

"The Poor People's Army? It seems that the imperial court also understands this law. Lu Zheng was surprised and delighted by this.

"But it's not, this court asked me to recruit the poor army, which means that some people in the court also think that the border city will start a beacon fire, so Yang Siqiao will propose this law in front of His Majesty."

"How many people do you have to recruit in the edict?"

Wang Hui took the edict to Lu Zheng at this time, and Lu Zheng looked at the Chen chapter on it, and the handwriting looked dignified, and it was the penmanship of the Son of Heaven at a glance. However, the number of words made Lu Zheng a little dumbfounded.

"Fifty thousand...... Most of the poor people have now been converted into peasant households, and there are not many poor people left, and these 50,000 are also a problem, and the poor people's army under my command is only more than 300 people. ”

Lu Zheng couldn't help but think about it, and asked again: "Who is this Yang Siqiao, isn't this going to embarrass adults?" ”

Wang Hui saw that there was only Lu Zheng and himself at this time, and there was no one else, so he said: "Yang Siqiao has a deep friendship with His Majesty, and when Empress Wei is killed, this person is the arm." Now he is the general of the left prison guard, holding the power of the army, and the other eunuch Gao Lishi is now receiving the emperor's favor. The two live together as the general of the left and right prison guards, and belong to one of the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army. ”

"So the Metropolitan Protector fully accepted this order?"

Wang Hui said at this time: "This order was forced by Yang Siqiao to do it with the help of holy will, and I can't refuse it." However, this recruitment matter is postponed, and I will also start the Holy Lord, and explain the causes and consequences of the inappropriate recruitment. ”

Lu Zheng wanted to say something but didn't say it, this time he started playing again, maybe he would slander him, since this Yang Siqiao was so deeply favored by the emperor, maybe it would have no effect if it was played.

Just as Lu Zheng was about to retire, Wang Hui stopped him again and said, "You will have dinner with me and Liu Junenvoy in the official office today." ”

After Lu Zheng made a promise, when he walked out of the hall, a soldier walked in and reported: "Dadu Guard, the border is urgent." ”

Wang Hui took the report and took a look, and what he expected still happened, "Tubo has committed a crime, and I urgently ask most of the capital to protect it." The words that caught his eyes made Wang Hui a little stunned, this Tubo invasion was still early.

At this time, Wang Hui understood that this Tubo was actually to forcibly seize the herding horses, so he invaded Didao County, but this Didao County was located in Longyou Road, and there was still some distance from the surrender city in the middle, and the court did not move. At this time, Wang Hui pretended to be calm and said to the soldiers: "Don't spread this in advance. ”

Lu Zheng was also a little surprised at this time, and seemed to feel something, but he still walked out of the official office to invite Liu Junenvoy. And Wang Hui sat on that chair, and his heart calmed down for a long time, but what could make Wang Hui chat comforted was that the soldiers and horses at present were sufficient. If there is a war, Wang Hui has great confidence.

After Wang Hui wrote the chapter, he also mentioned the incident of the Tubo invasion in it, but at this time, the matter of the Tibetan invasion must have also spread to the palace. As for the nobles in the imperial court, most of them will not let the Tibetans wanton, so a necessary war is imperative. However, Wang Hui hoped that the imperial court would send a few capable fighters to give Tubo a heavy blow to solve the border situation in the past ten years.

At this time, the backyard of the official office is already full of moonlight pavilion, the long corridor that twists and turns leads to the middle of the lake, and the spring willows around the lotus have lost their vitality, as if they are the remnants of the lotus and the willows. One by one, the maids walked into the pavilion, put down the dishes, and walked out of the pavilion with steady steps. Until the table is full, the silver glow is sprinkled to render the surroundings just right, and it looks very comfortable.

Wang Hui and Liu Jun envoy first sat down, and then Lu Zheng also came, Lu Zheng thought that everyone had arrived, and just raised his hand to pour wine, but heard Wang Hui say: "There is still a military envoy who has not yet arrived, wait a minute." ”

Lu Zheng was a little surprised, but he had to put away his hand, and Liu Junenvoy explained: "Brother Lu may not know that there is another military envoy today, that is, Wang Haibin, the military envoy of Feng'an. ”

"The Feng'an military envoy is in Lingzhou, and it is quite a long way from here, but can someone be sent to pick it up?"

"Five or six groups of people have been sent to pick it up, and it should be almost there."

This Feng'an army envoy has 8,000 soldiers under its jurisdiction, and it is an important defense force in the Longyou region. And Wang Haibin is very strong and has the courage of ten thousand people. Now that Tubo has invaded the territory, there is still some distance from the Feng'an army, and Wang Hui hopes to talk to Wang Haibin in detail about the mutual cooperation between regions, and Wang Haibin has promised to come here for a banquet.
