For Qin Han, a eunuch with great achievements, Li Zhang had only heard some of it from rumors on the streets and alleys before, and he also knew some about his deeds, but he was far from understanding, but Qin Huaizhi was Qin Han's righteous son, and in Qin Han's later years, he had been taking care of Qin Han, so no one in this world knew Qin Han better than him.

Speaking of Qin Han, he fought with the Khitans in the early days, and then the war in the northwest was tense, so he was transferred to the northwest to fight with the party and other clans, when Li Jiqian rebelled and surrendered, causing continuous war in the northwest region, and also greatly dragging down the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, but most of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty at that time thought that the party was just a disease of ringworm, and the real threat was Liao, so they did not pay much attention to the party in the northwest.

However, after dealing with the Dangxiang people for many years, Qin Han believed that the ethnic groups in the northwest were mixed, the Han people were in a weak position, and the rule of the Great Song Dynasty was also extremely weak, and the Dangxiang was very likely to rise with the help of this situation.

It was also in this situation that Qin Han also persuaded Zhao Heng many times to destroy the main forces of the party, and even once when Li Jiqian surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty again, Qin Han negotiated with Li Jiqian on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, and during the negotiation, Qin Han once privately asked Zhao Heng to kill Li Jiqian as an assassin himself, because in his opinion, Li Jiqian, who was born rebellious and able to bend and stretch, is likely to be the one who unified the northwest, and only by killing him can the northwest be pacified.

However, Zhao Heng did not agree, firstly, he did not want Qin Han to take risks, secondly, he still despised the party item a little, and did not believe that the party item could become bigger, plus at that time, Li Jiqian deliberately made a low profile to ask the Great Song Dynasty to surrender, and also accepted the name Zhao Baoji from the Great Song Dynasty, which made the whole Song Dynasty lose their vigilance against the party item.

But Qin Han has never forgotten the threat of the party, but later he got older, and he was injured too much when he was young, and his health was not very good, so he could only be transferred back to Tokyo and became the governor of the introspection, Lei Yungong and Luo Chongxun could only be juniors in front of Qin Han, and later died in office.

However, when Qin Han died, he still remembered the northwest, and made a will to bury himself in the northwest, even if he died, he had to stay in the northwest, and Zhao Heng also thanked him for his loyalty, so he specially ordered that Qin Han's funeral affairs should be handled according to his will, and the expenses would be paid by the imperial court.

"That's the thing, when my father-in-law died, he always told me that if I could enter the army in the future, I must find a way to destroy the party, but unfortunately I don't have the ability of my father-in-law, and I am only messing around in the palace in my thirties. When Qin Huaizhi said the end, he also showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face.

Li Zhang also showed a silent look after listening, if his respect for Qin Han before was due to his great military exploits during his lifetime, then now he admires the other party's vision even more, you must know that Qin Han died eight years ago, at that time Li Zhang had not yet crossed, although the party was in turmoil, but the strength was still weak, but Qin Han already had such a superb vision, it was really admirable, no wonder he was able to make so many contributions during his lifetime.

Early the next morning, Li Zhang and Qin Huaizhi drove out of the barracks again, in addition to wild dogs, and a few personal soldiers as escorts, this time they did not enter Gyeongju City again, but turned along the city wall to the northwest of Gyeongju City, where there was a low hill, and Qin Han's mausoleum was built in this hill.

Li Zhang's carriage walked along a quiet path, and after turning a few hills and a forest, the front suddenly opened up, and a mausoleum that was not very big finally appeared in front of Li Zhang, and Li Zhang also learned from Qin Huaizhi that Qin Han did not like luxury by nature, so he asked for a simple burial before he died, and Zhao Heng also respected his opinion, so the scale of Qin Han's tomb construction was not large.

It's just that what Li Zhang and the others never expected was that just before their carriage arrived at Qin Han's mausoleum, they were stopped by a team of sergeants, and there seemed to be someone worshipping in front of Qin Han's tomb, which made Qin Huaizhi show a surprised expression.

"The founding prince is here, and the idle people are waiting to retreat quickly!" Before Li Zhang and them could speak, they saw a young general rushing over and scolding Li Zhang.

"Founding Father?" Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard this title, and before he could react, he saw Qin Huaizhi stepping forward very excitedly and said, "But General Cao, under Qin Huaizhi, come here to pay tribute to my father-in-law!" ”

"General Cao? Founding Father? Cao Wei! Li Zhang finally reacted when he heard this, the founding justice is the title of the great general Cao Wei, and Cao Wei is also the most famous general in the Great Song Dynasty.

Cao Wei's father's name is Cao Bin, who once followed Zhao Kuangyin to destroy Hou Shu and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and ruled very strictly, known for not killing innocents indiscriminately, and served as the privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty twice, and when Cao Bin died, Zhao Heng went to visit in person, and asked him who could be a general in the country after his death, and Cao Bin recommended his son, that is, Cao Wei, Zhao Heng was very surprised at that time, thinking that Cao Bin was paving the way for his son's future, but later it turned out that Cao Bin's vision was excellent.

Cao Wei joined the army when he was a teenager, and has made many miraculous achievements, the northwest chaos he went to the northwest, the Khitan went south to resist the Khitan, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Cao Wei's energy was mainly focused on the northwest, and his most proud battle was the battle of Sandu Valley, with 6,000 people to break more than 30,000 people in Tubo, beheaded more than 3,000, this battle will also be in the Tubo fight, as long as Cao Wei is alive for a day, they will not dare to invade the east for a day.

It can be said that Cao Wei's military exploits even surpassed his father Cao Bin, but it is a pity that Ding Wei was dictatorial before, and Cao Wei refused to be attached, so he was framed by Ding Wei as Kou Zhun's henchman, and he was also suppressed, and Li Zhang did not expect to see this legendary General Cao in front of Qin Han's tomb.

Hearing Qin Huaizhi report to his home, the young general who came to scold him was also stunned, and then his attitude was also kind and said again: "Wait a minute, I'll report to my father!" ”

After speaking, the young general turned around and ran to the mausoleum to report, he called Cao Wei his father, it seems to be Cao Wei's son, as far as Li Zhang knows, Cao Wei seems to have four sons, looking at his age, it is estimated that it will not be the eldest son.

After a while, I saw a burly middle-aged man striding over, only to see that he was about forty or fifty years old, with three long beards under his big ears and chin, and wearing a cyan robe, although he was not wearing armor, but he was mighty and extraordinary, so that people could notice him at a glance.

"Huaizhi! Sure enough, it's you! When Cao Wei saw Qin Huaizhi, he immediately stepped forward with a laugh, and then looked him up and down, as if he was looking at a junior of his own family.

"Meet the Founding Father!" Qin Huaizhi was also very excited at the moment, Qin Han used to be Cao Wei's old boss, the two had cooperated many times to attack Tubo and the party, and their personal relationship was not bad, when Qin Han was buried, Cao Wei also came to see him off in person, so Qin Huaizhi was also very familiar with Cao Wei.

"You're welcome, why did you come to Gyeongju?" Cao Wei also personally helped Qin Huaizhi up at this time and asked, although he and Qin Huaizhi didn't see each other much, but in Qin Han's face, he still felt very kind to Qin Huaizhi.

"Qiqi Founding Prince, this time I am as a supervising army, and I came to Gyeongju with the musket battalion of Commander Li, but Founding Prince, aren't you in Rongzhou, why are you here?" Qin Huaizhi was very happy at this time, and then asked with some doubts, before Ding Wei was dictatorial, Cao Wei was demoted one after another, and finally he was demoted to Rongzhou as an observer, but now he appeared in Qingzhou, which made him a little puzzled?

"Haha~, the Queen Mother is wise, after getting rid of Ding Wei, I also reinstated my official and once again served as the governor of Huanqing Road to pacify the envoy, I was originally going to Gyeongju to take office today, but I thought that your father-in-law had not come to worship here for many years, so I deliberately took a detour to see my old friend!" When Cao Wei talked about Qin Han, he also showed a somewhat sad look on his face.

"Congratulations to the Founding Father! It turns out that you are the new pacification envoy, and Commander Li and I have been waiting for you for a few days! When Qin Huaizhi heard that Cao Wei turned out to be the pacification envoy, he was immediately overjoyed again, and then pulled Li Zhang and introduced, "Founding Father, this is Li Zhang, the commander of the musket battalion, don't look at him young, but the musket battalion was created by him!" ”

"Meet the Founding Father!" Li Zhang also hurriedly saluted Cao Wei at this time, this person in front of him is his future boss, and the future affairs of the musket battalion also need to be arranged by Cao Wei, plus Cao Wei is a famous general guarding the northwest, it can be said that he is one of the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, so Li Zhang also admires him very much.

Cao Wei also looked Li Zhang up and down a few times at this time, and then showed a strange smile and said: "It turns out that you are Li Zhang, speaking of which, I can return to my original position so quickly this time, thank you very much!" ”

"Huh? Why did the founding father say this? Li Zhang also showed a confused expression when he heard this, although he had heard of Cao Wei's reputation for a long time, but this was the first time, and there was no indirect contact before, why did the other party thank himself as soon as they met?

"Haha~, this matter is a long story, you should worship Brother Qin first, let's talk about it when we go back to Gyeongju City if there is anything!" Cao Wei didn't explain, and waved his hand to let Li Zhang and them go in to worship.

Seeing that Cao Wei didn't say anything, Li Zhang didn't dare to ask again, and immediately accompanied Qin Huaizhi to Qin Han's tomb with sacrifices, and then worshiped this old general with great achievements, although he was a eunuch, but he did better than most able-bodied people, such a person is undoubtedly more admirable.

During the worship, Qin Huaizhi also cried a mess, and finally Li Zhang finally persuaded him to stop, and then they came to see Cao Wei again, and Cao Wei asked straight to the point: "The imperial court gave me a holy decree that you have formed a musket battalion, and asked me to arrange your musket battalion to fight on the battlefield, but I don't even know what a gun is, how can I arrange it?" ”
