Northwest Lingzhou, the Governor's Mansion of Soldiers and Horses.

Guo Huai pinched the letter in his hand, looked at Yao Hong with a smile and said, "Brother Success, our day of emergence is coming!" ”

Yao Hong, the envoy of the Lingzhou Army, took the letter in Guo Huai's hand and read it carefully several times, then he spat heavily and sighed: "Old Guo, in the blink of an eye, we have been in Lingzhou, a ghost place where birds don't lay eggs, for six or seven years." ”

"Yes, people who can't afford to eat mutton in Kaifeng are everywhere. However, in this hellish place, we can't wait to be full of mutton, and the smell of mutton is everywhere. Guo Huai walked to the side of the handsome case and patted the table hard, "Old Yao, our hard life is finally coming to an end." ”

Yao Hong and Guo Huai joined the Hechi Township Army almost at the same time, and at the same time, they were respectively appointed by Li Zhongyi as the military and political giants of the Lingzhou Army.

These two people have the same qualifications and official ranks, but there is an essential difference in temperament and temperament.

Guo Huai is more thoughtful, and after so many years of training, he is especially good at commanding cavalry.

Yao Hong's temper is relatively short-tempered, and when he is about to fight, he often has a bloody and brave spirit.

What is more strange is that Li Zhongyi just let Yao Hong, who was relatively uncomposed, be the pacification envoy of the Lingzhou army.

Due to the nature of the work of calming, after so many years of sandwiching, Yao Hong's bad temper has been completely smoothed out, and he can be alone for a day without saying a word.

"Success, those party and tribal elders who colluded with the Khitans, shouldn't it be time to close the net?" Guo Huai was worried that after the main force of the army was mobilized, some party elders, who had long been disgruntled, would take the opportunity to cause chaos.

"I said Brother Changming, the townsman once said that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, wait a minute, and then take a look." Yao Hong sneered, "Lao Tzu wants to see, in addition to those few unfed offal, how many dog things are hidden in secret?" ”

According to the division of duties and powers within the army, Guo Huai was mainly responsible for the training and operations of the Lingzhou army, and punishing traitors internally fell within the scope of Yao Hong's duties.

Since Yao Hong planned to close the net later, Guo Huai no longer mentioned this matter, and changed his words and said: "The township marshal once said that the Yellow River is a set of nine evils, and it is indeed a treasure here, but the troop carriers we secretly built in Yinzhou are too many, and if it drags on, it will be impossible to contain the fire in the paper." ”

Yao Hong knew that Guo Huai obviously wanted to go to Kaifeng to live a good life as soon as possible, and he was obviously a little anxious.

"Lao Guo, we have been running the northwest for the township commander for so many years, and there are hundreds of thousands of high-quality war horses alone, plus tens of thousands of elite Han cavalry, the current few ships are not enough at all. In addition, as long as our side makes a move, it will definitely alarm the imperial court. Yao Hong touched his head with a headache, there are many horses in the northwest, but there are few boatmen, and there is a shortage of shipbuilders.

Guo Huai glared at Yao Hong in surprise and asked him rhetorically: "According to the deployment of the township marshal, once the situation changes, our Lingzhou Army and Fuzhou Army will unite and quickly advance to Jingzhao Mansion, do you want to grab the dragon's head?" ”

Yao Hong smiled bitterly twice and sighed: "I have carefully calculated that it will take at least half a month to go straight down the Wuding River from Yinzhou to Hezhongfu, even if you don't fight." It will take about seven days to attack Jingzhao Mansion from Hezhong Mansion to Jingzhao Mansion, and the time taken can only be more, not less. Our life is really bitter, and when we go to Kaifeng, I'm afraid that the townsman has already drunk the celebration wine. ”

Guo Huai knew in his heart that what Yao Hong said was light and clear, but in fact, he had always been thinking about Conglong's first gong in his bones.

Over the years, Guo Huai and Yao Hong have worked closely together to rectify the party members in the northwest and establish a strategic cavalry assault force of more than 30,000 people since the late Tang Dynasty, composed purely of Han Chinese.

It is precisely because of the existence of this Lingzhou army that although there are medium-scale frictions in the border areas between the Great Zhou and the Khitan, the overall situation in the northwest is very stable.

What's more, with the flank persecution of the Lingzhou Army, the military pressure of the Khitans on the Fuzhou family is several times smaller than before?

"Lao Yao, those boys from the Senate Department do have some real skills, they have made a complete report to remind us to pay attention to the possible sneak attack of the Khitans when the time comes." Guo Huai's mouth counted the young people of the Senate Division, but his face was full of smiles, obviously very satisfied with the work ability of the Senate Division.

"Well, if the main force of our army wants to leave Lingzhou unconsciously and gather in Yinzhou, it is indeed difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Khitans." Yao Hong touched his chin and said with blazing eyes, "I think that when the time comes, it is better to advance and retreat, lead tens of thousands of cavalry, and fight into the Khitan country first." ”

Guo Huaimeng slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Old Yao, you and I want to go together......

The capital city of Kaifeng, the residence of the privy envoy Li Gu.

The second prime minister, Wang Pu, hugged Mei Ji in his arms and bit her pink neck fiercely, Mei Ji screamed in pain, and Wang Pu immediately laughed wildly: "Little girl, heart meat, you bit me last time, this time it is a late retribution." ”

Li Gu's family has raised a large group of beautiful women, which has long been rumored to be a beautiful talk in the capital.

With the close relationship between Wang Pu and Li Gu, as long as he speaks, the Meiji in his arms can be directly brought home and have a golden house to hide Jiao.

It's a pity that although Wang Pu is in a high and powerful position, he has a fierce wife in the family. Over the years, there is only one concubine in Wang Pu's family, and there has not been anything yet.

Li Gu once laughed at Wang Pu, Li Wujiao, a scholar, a beautiful wife and concubine, and he couldn't count the two slaps.

Wang Pu didn't take this kind of joke to heart, anyway, as long as he wanted to eat it secretly, he would come to Li Gu's house as a guest.

As a close ally, the Mei Ji that Wang Pu had touched, Li Gu naturally couldn't let others get involved. This is equivalent to not having a concubine, but enjoying the happiness of taking a concubine, a good thing.

After the fifth round of drinking, Li Gu waved his hand and drove out all the Mei Ji and the servants in the flower hall.

"Qi Wu, you said that Zhang Baoyi went to Goryeo this time, is it possible to successfully achieve the mission?" Li Gu stared at Wang Pu's face, his eyes unblinking.

Wang Pu stretched a little waist, shook his head, and said, "We have been dealing with Li Wuyi for so many years, this copper stinker is treacherous and abnormal, and it is impossible to obey obediently." ”

"If it weren't for Fan Wensu who deceived people too much, why would you and I be here?" Li Gu punched heavily and angrily slammed on the small few sons, and for a while, it was an embarrassment that the vegetable soup and the wine cup flew together.

Wang Pu has always known Li Gu's temperament, this person is a dragon if he doesn't drink, as long as he drinks too much, he is definitely a worm.

"I heard that since Li Hu was dismissed from his post as the commander of the Tianwu Guard, he has been drinking alcohol at home." Wang Pu was not very happy to see Li Gu have too many gaffes, so he deliberately interrupted.

After all, the two of them are extremely noble, they are both ministers of the imperial court, and their ugliness is spread out, which is seriously inconsistent with their identities, and they are easy to make unbearable jokes.

Li Gu nodded and said, "Li Qiong followed behind the copper stink, which made the Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Wensu dislike, but lost the only capital. I also heard that Li Qiong is now getting farther and farther away from the copper stink, and he didn't even send anyone to greet Li Dahe on New Year's Day. ”

Wang Pu stared ahead, thought about it carefully, and said: "The military power of the capital, the big head is in the hands of Han Tong's reckless man, followed by Zhao Yuanlang, if we can take advantage of this big opportunity to pull Li Qiong's old thing over, it will not lose a big help." ”

When Li Gu heard Wang Pu say this, he immediately realized that Wang Qiwu was probably thinking of taking military power.

"The government hall is in charge, the Privy Council is in charge of the army, the front division of the palace and the pro-army division of the guards are leading the troops, although the first emperor died, he did a good job." Li Gu is the current privy envoy, and it is the core position of military power that is in control, which is also one of the fundamental factors that Zhao Lao Er must secretly collude with him.

In the Chen Qiao Mutiny in history, if there was no close cooperation of Li Gu, even if Empress Dowager Fu and Fan Zhen were negligent, if Zhao Lao Er wanted to seize Han Tong's military power and usurp the throne, the difficulty would have increased several times?

Wang Pu shook his head and said, "Wen Sugong, don't forget that in the hands of the tiger of Tongstinzi, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers who are always victorious. ”

Li Gu smiled coldly and said, "Qi Wugong, you can rest assured, as long as the contemptible person is still in the position of the privy envoy, it is absolutely impossible for the so-called elite soldiers of the copper stinker to step into the land of Gyeonggi by half an inch." ”

"I said Wen Sugong, Lingzhou and Fuzhou in the northwest, have you considered it?" Wang Pu grabbed a leg of mutton with his hand, and he didn't bother to take into account the respect of the prime minister, and he refused to pay the etiquette of a hundred bureaucrats, like a rogue who had been hungry for three days.

Li Gu showed a knowing smile, Wang Xianggong was just on Mei Ji's body, I'm afraid it consumed a lot of energy, right?

"If it weren't for the fear of startling the snake by beating the grass, I would have wanted to transfer Guo Huai out of Lingzhou a long time ago, so as not to get in the way in the future." Li Gu took a sip of wine and put his thoughts together, "The old Linggong of the Zhe family is already old, I heard that he is not very much in charge of things, let's just send the two brothers to the capital, forgive him for not daring to act rashly." ”

Wang Pu nodded heavily, even if Li Zhongyi has strength, he can barely be regarded as the grandson-in-law of the Fuzhou family at best.

In this world, how can there be a truth that Aunt Sun is more important than her own son? It doesn't make sense at all!

"Qi Wugong, besides, from Lingzhou in the northwest to Kaifeng, even if Guo Huai's men are all cavalry, it will take at least a month and a half to rush to Kaifeng City." Li Gu put down the wine cup in his hand and smiled coldly, "To borrow a famous saying from the copper stink, at that time, I'm afraid that the daylilies will be cold." ”

Wang Pu couldn't help but smile, Li Zhongyi actually didn't offend Li Wensu fiercely, however, Li Wensu always looked at Li Zhongyi very unpleasantly.

The mystery is not complicated, Li Wensu is almost fifty years old, but he was demoted from deputy minister to privy envoy. Li Zhongyi is not yet thirty years old, but he is qualified to stand on top of the court with Li Gu, how can he not attract jealousy?
