After the victory in the northwest, Qi Ning naturally sent someone to the court to send good news to the court as soon as possible, but to arrive in Jianye from the northwest, it will take a lot of time to speed up, and when the court comes to the will, it will take a few months before and after the earliest, so before the will of the court arrives, Qi Ning can only maintain the situation in the northwest as much as possible.

In his position, Qi Ning realized that there was a sentence that was really true.

Those who are in a high position do not necessarily need to know how to do things, but they must know how to use people, and be able to put the right people in the right position to do the right things, which is the most intelligent ability of those in high positions.

Qi Ning suddenly felt that he seemed to be doing a good job at this point, at least after entering Xianyang City for more than ten days, the entire Xianyang City had regained its former atmosphere, the streets were full of people, there was no panic atmosphere, people seemed to have accepted and adapted to the arrival of the Chu army in a short period of time, although the Chinese character flag at the head of the city had become the Chu character flag, but the officials at all levels in charge seemed to be familiar faces, for most of the people in Xianyang City, everything did not seem to have changed much.

In the first few days, Qi Ning was really in a hurry, and he couldn't even remember how many things he had to deal with and the people he met every day, and he finally eased down a little after surviving the first few days.

The people didn't feel that the change of the royal banner had changed much, but those officials on errand knew the difference, since the new empire controlled this land, it was natural to have some new atmosphere, and it may not be easy to change many old habits in the past, but be as diligent as possible, and do what you should do conscientiously, at least you can give a good impression to the little grandfather.

The officials are not stupid, everyone knows that Qi Ning has not made much transfer of the northwest officials, of course, not because he really trusts the northwest officials, but because he hopes to be able to smoothly pass the extraordinary moment in the early stage after occupying the northwest.

As long as it is stabilized, the imperial court will of course still have to purge the northwest.

However, everyone is also very clear in their hearts that any force that has occupied the northwest has always needed to use the local forces in the northwest to assist in management, the Northern Han Dynasty is like this, and the Chu State will still take this road, although some people are destined to be transferred in the near future, but most officials are still able to mix a bowl of rice under the control of the Great Chu Empire, so now they are more active, and their talents are outstanding, so the possibility of staying in office or even being promoted in the future will be higher.

For the sake of the future and livelihood, this is the time when you should do everything you can in your life.

It is because under the condition that the officials are active and diligent in handling official affairs, Qi Ning has gradually less time to worry about, and even has enough time to observe the surroundings of Xianyang City and appreciate the style of the largest city in the northwest.

There will be military reports from Tongguan every day.

Qu Yuangu sent back the soldiers and horses in its consequence really did not launch a decent attack on Tongguan, a few times in the middle of the night in the middle of the night sent people to secretly approach the pass, immediately was shot by the guards who were waiting for the battle, after which the Northwest Army died down, a mind to build a checkpoint about ten miles east of Tongguan, it is said that the Northwest Army captured a large number of people to come, and even mined boulders nearby, look at that, it seems that it really wants to build a strong pass and Tongguan to fight against each other.

Since Qi Ning understood Qu Yuangu's true intentions, he also understood that the pressure on Tongguan was not great, but he still ordered the Tongguan guards not to be slack in the slightest, and the Chu army captured the pass because of the temporary negligence of the Tongguan defenders

Of course, this scene cannot be repeated in Tongguan.

After all, Hongmen Dao still came to meet Qi Ning one night.

What Hongmendao has done in the past ten days, Qi Ning doesn't know anything, and he doesn't want to ask much, after all, it is a matter of the Shenhou Mansion, and he won't tell Hongmendao frankly if he asks.

However, Qi Ning could also guess that he should make some arrangements for the spies of the Shenhou Mansion lurking in the northwest.

Hongmen Dao came in in plain clothes and worshiped Qi Ning, and then said: "Sir, the matter here has been arranged, and I am going to return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to report to the Divine Marquis, so I have come to bid farewell to the Sir." ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "It's a long way to go, and the fifth senior brother should take care of it all the way." He added, "Fifth Senior Brother wait for a moment." Turned to the back hall, came out after a while, carried a package in his hand, and handed it to Hongmendao, Hongmendao was a little suspicious, Qi Ning smiled: "Here are some silver tickets, and some good treasures, I know that the fifth senior brother doesn't care about money, but this is my personal heart, you just accept it." ”

Hong Mendao hesitated, and Qi Ning said: "It's all my own things, you don't have to worry." ”

Hongmen Dao was amused in his heart, secretly thinking that this time you led the army to the expedition, is it possible to carry treasures with you? Now the treasure house of the General's Mansion in Zhenxi is at your disposal, there are countless treasures in it, and no one knows how much you take at will, the treasures in this package, nine times out of ten, are taken out of the treasure house of the General's Mansion, but since Qi Ning has a heart, of course, Hongmen Dao is not good to say, took it, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord for the reward, I really don't have a few taels of silver on the mountain at hand, and after returning to Beijing, there is not much silver to invite them to eat and drink, just borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Qi Ning laughed, thought for a while, and then took out two letters from his arms, and said: "Fifth Senior Brother, looking at the current situation, I will not be able to return to Beijing for a while, here are two letters, one is for the third lady in my house, and the other is for Zhan Ying, these two letters are a little uneasy for others to send back, and I also ask the fifth senior brother to do it for me and bring these two letters back." ”

Hong Men Dao put down the package, took it with both hands, and said: "Don't worry, sir, after returning to Beijing, I will personally hand over these two letters to them." ”

"In this way, there will be Senior Brother Lao." Qi Ning said: "You are from the Shenhou Mansion, and you have always hidden your identity here, and if you leave tomorrow, it will be inconvenient for me to send you." ”

"You're welcome, sir." Hong Mendao said with a smile, carefully put the two letters into his arms, and thought of something, before he said: "Yes, before leaving, there is one last thing." ”

"Is there anything you can't worry about?" Qi Ning asked, "If I can help, Fifth Senior Brother will say it's okay." ”

Hong Mendao lowered his voice and said, "Everything on my side has been arranged, but I just want the lord to meet someone." ”

"Alone?" Qi Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "Who do you want to see?" The fifth senior brother can let him come to the General's Mansion. ”

Hong Mendao shook his head and said: "This person's identity is very special, not only can he not come to the General's Mansion, but when the lord sees him, there can be no other people around him." This person has a very important thing to say to the lord. ”

Qi Ning showed a suspicious look, and Hong Mendao immediately said: "Don't worry, this person's background, I know the details of this person, and there is no threat to the lord." ”

"Fifth Senior Brother misunderstood." Qi Ning smiled: "It's not that I'm worried about any threat to me, it's just that this person is mysterious, why do you want to see me?" ”

Hong Mendao hesitated for a moment before he said: "Lord I don't know, I have been lurking in the Northern Han Dynasty for many years, and I have been collecting intelligence for Da Chu, but there is another extremely important piece of information that I have never gotten a clue. ”

"What kind of information are you talking about?"

Hong Mendao lowered his voice and said, "The lord should have heard of the Beitang celebration of the Marquis of Changling!" ”

"Beitangqing?" Qi Ning's face changed slightly, he was naturally very familiar with this name, and perhaps the entire Qinhuai Legion also remembered this name vividly.

Changling Marquis Beitangqing can be said to be the biggest enemy of Chu State, this person commanded the Han army and the Qinhuai army commanded by Jinyi Hou Qijing for many years.

Qi Jing died early in his prime, and a generation of famous generals Beitangqing had disappeared a few years ago.

But Chu's fear of Beitangqing has not weakened because of Beitangqing's mysterious disappearance, when Chu planned the Northern Expedition, considering that the biggest hidden danger is Beitangqing, in the eyes of the Chu people, if the main force of the Chu army goes north, but encounters Beitangqing's comeback, the consequences are really unimaginable, which can also be seen Beitangqing's prestige in the hearts of Chu people.

Hong Mendao suddenly mentioned Beitangqing, Qi Ning was surprised, but he was not too surprised.

For the disappearance of Beitangqing, Qi Ning also knows a little, when Beitangqing commanded the Southern Army of the Northern Han Dynasty on the front line, won the hearts of the army, because of this, but was feared by the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty Beitanghuan, it is said that Beitanghuan issued an edict to recruit Beitangqing to return to Beijing, and many of Beitangqing's subordinates have expected that Beitangqing is likely to encounter accidents if he returns to Beijing, so he is to persuade Beitangqing to resist the decree and disobey, and some people are even privately ready to support Beitangqing to seize the throne.

But Beitangqing finally returned to the capital, and when he stepped into the gate of Luoyang Capital, people have no news of this generation of famous generals since then, as if the world has evaporated.

It's just that people know that Beitangqing has great achievements in the war, and his prestige in the Northern Han Army is too high, which is a taboo for high merit.

Once a courtier is jealous of the emperor, the result will naturally not be much better, and the disappearance of Beitangqing naturally makes people suspect that he was secretly executed by Beitang Huan, otherwise it is impossible for a living person to disappear, let alone a famous general of the Northern Han Dynasty.

For the Chu State, if Beitangqing was really secretly executed by Beitanghuan, then the Northern Han Dynasty would be like a self-broken pillar, which was great news for the Chu State, but the Northern Han Dynasty never announced the news of Beitangqing's death, so whether Beitangqing was dead or alive became a big mystery.

Whether Beitangqing is alive or dead, and even related to the strategy of Chu against the Northern Han, so sending someone to find out the life and death of Beitangqing is naturally the information that the Shenhou Mansion must find out.

Lian Zhen Lieutenant Hongmen Dao lurked in the Northern Han Dynasty, and was the head of the Shenhou Mansion's spies in the Northern Han Dynasty, so it was naturally reasonable for him to investigate the life and death of Beitangqing.

"Exactly." Hongmen Dao nodded slightly: "A few years ago, Beitangqing suddenly disappeared, and the Northern Han Dynasty and the opposition had no news of this person, and the gods ordered that Beitangqing's life and death must be investigated, although I came to the northwest, I have never interrupted the investigation of Beitangqing's whereabouts, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources for this, but I did not find any clues, until a few months ago, I finally found a glimmer of hope." ”()
