He had been thinking about what benefits he could use to envelop Gong Buban and turn him into his own.

I didn't expect to give myself this opportunity by chance, and I was able to subdue a general with just a false report, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Where did the old general say! After all, we are not born kings, who is not walking on thin ice as an official in the court? This kind of moment is more important to help each other, right? ”

Gong Buban knew that the "king" in his mouth was also referring to Brother Kuanche, the king of Wei, although he wanted to watch the fire from the other side, but he had no choice but to be caught first because of his careless mistakes, so he could only nod his head and agree to show his loyalty.

"What the marshal said is that Gong Buban will definitely stand with the marshal at all times."

Enwei also used both to appease Gong Buban first, and immediately wrote two military emergency reports that did not match the name, and summoned his henchman Pegasus to send them to Dadu.

He also instructed his subordinates to send one of them to his brother's house in an expedited manner, and the other to be submitted to the court openly.

This is undoubtedly a little careful thinking that also moved first.

Judging from the fabricated recital, Shangcai won and lost each other in the first battle, and it stands to reason that the emperor's reply must also be some words of comfort and comfort.

But for the sake of caution, he decided to pass the news to his brother first, so that even if someone in the palace and court came out to attack him, Tofu would definitely suppress it all and avoid unnecessary trouble......

Between the armies, the stagecoach galloped for thousands of miles.

The report was finally delivered to Tokhtar on the first day of October.

The messenger was Yexian's henchman, the ugly steward in Yexian's mansion who was favored as a Han Chinese.

He was more familiar with the old steward in the Tokhtoku Mansion, but at the moment when the situation was urgent, he didn't greet him too much, just nodded at him as a greeting between old friends, and said softly: "There is something important." ”

The old steward's expression was grim, and he didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately replied in a condensed voice: "Come with me." ”

The courtyard of this mansion is staggeringly large, and after passing through several small courtyards, you will come to a more secluded place.

The Ugly Steward had been to the Tokhtar Mansion many times, but this was the first time he had seen it.

Although there were doubts in his heart, he still kept his duty very clearly, and he didn't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, and just quietly followed the old steward.

"You wait for me." After the old steward threw out a sentence, he slammed the door in, and after a while, he brought out a middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume, who was none other than Ru Zhongbai.

As a powerful minister of the state, the daily things that need to be mechanically are too cumbersome, so the staff gathered in the palace seem to be retainers, but in fact, they are discussing the country's top priorities every day.

This secluded place was a place where these retainers could rest for a while, and the old steward couldn't figure out the priorities involved in this matter, so he simply took him to find Ruzhongbai.

If it is a good thing that makes the prime minister happy, it should be sold to Ru Zhongbai for a favor, and if it is a bad thing that makes people listen to the nest fire, he also just avoids the master's bad head.

As the head of the staff, it goes without saying that Ru Zhongbai is sensitive in his nerves.

When I heard that it was someone from the front line, I hurriedly opened my sleepy eyes, and came out to see the ugly steward with 120,000 spirits.

Ru Zhongbai's talent and strategy are all excellent, but there is a problem that he likes to judge people by their appearance.

After seeing the ugly steward who came to deliver the letter, his brows immediately furrowed, and his interest suddenly weakened a little, and he stared at him and said, "The first lord sent you?" ”

The ugly steward is no longer what it used to be, and he is no longer the subordinate who was wantonly abused in the past, and such a discriminatory gaze makes him hate in his heart and feel very unhappy.

But in order to do the errand ordered by the master, he still endured it at the moment, and only replied in a pretended stiff tone: "It was also sent by the marshal first." ”

The old steward didn't expect Ru Zhongbai to be so polite, so he hurriedly stepped forward and introduced the identity of the ugly steward's henchman to Ru Zhongbai.

Only then did Ru Zhongbai put away his lofty expression, softened his attitude, and asked, "What about the letter?" ”

The ugly steward didn't want to stay here for long, so he took out the letter with the contents of the military newspaper from his arms and handed it over, then turned his head and arched his hand to the old steward and said, "Brother, the letter has been delivered, I have to go back immediately, and I will leave first." ”

The old steward was also very displeased with Ru Zhongbai's attitude, and in order to appease the ugly steward's emotions, he smiled awkwardly, "I'll send you." ”

After the two left, Ru Zhongbai carefully pinched the letter, carefully weighed the possibilities contained in it, and immediately put aside other tedious daily affairs and went to the study of detachment.

Totokh was listening to a waiter from the Ministry of Works talk about the finishing touches of the river control project, and when he heard the voice of Ru Zhongbai asking to see him, Toto, who had never liked to be disturbed, immediately frowned, but still patiently let him in.

After Ru Zhongbai came in, he said respectfully: "Prime Minister, there is an urgent report that you need to see in person." "Ignore the squire on the side.

Tokhtar asked with some confusion: "Urgent report?" What urgency? ”

Ru Zhongbai glanced at the waiter pointedly, but did not answer.

The squire was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that he was a celebrity in front of Toto, and he didn't want to argue with him, so he took the initiative to take a step forward and said to Totoku: "If the prime minister has something important, I will step back first." ”

Tokhoff saw that Ruzhong Bai must have something important to say, so he nodded to the waiter and instructed, "Just tell Jia Shangshu to concentrate on the project, and I will find a way to deal with the financial matter." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Works bowed respectfully before turning and leaving.

"The prime minister's forgiveness is a great matter, and you dare not slack off on your humble duties, and you need to look at it immediately." There were no outsiders, so Ru Zhongbai showed that servant-like face and handed over the letter in his hand.

Tokh muttered as he opened the letter, "How do you know it's an urgent report before you read it?" ”

Ru Zhongbai had already prepared, and said lightly: "The letter is from Henan." As soon as these words came out, Totoku immediately straightened his waist and swept his gaze towards the content of the letter.

Looking at Detuo's solemn expression, Ru Zhongbai was a little more sure of the guess in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that the war is not going well?" ”

"See for yourself." Tokhtar shook the letter in his hand, and Ru Zhongbai hurriedly took it and read it at a glance.

"Who sent it?"

"The steward of the Lord's Mansion first."

"What about people?"

"The letter was delivered and left."

Tokhtar let out an "oh" and fell into deep thought, and after a long moment asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ru Zhongbai had already brewed words in his heart, but he didn't dare to hold it up in front of Toto, so he carefully confirmed: "This is the marshal's own handwriting?" ”

"Yes." Tokhtar naturally knows his brother's handwriting.

"According to what the letter says, the Red Turban Thieves are indeed far stronger than we expected, so the previous destruction of the Aso army can be explained......
