A few days later, He Chaoyong and Ye Zhan rode fast horses to Wanzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"He Chaoyong, aren't you going to Qiongzhou?" In the tent of the barracks, Han Wantao asked, "Ye Zhan, have you people in Vietnam come back?" ”

"The army over there in Qiongzhou doesn't need our own people, Weiyang and they can handle it now." He Chaoyong introduced the situation at home, "Jiang Beiming and they have already returned to Vietnam, so Ye Zhan and they will also come back." ”

"Ye Zhan, you are also hard enough." Xu Lang looked at his student with appreciation, "I just sent you to Wanzhou just after I came back." ”

"Mr. Xu, it's not hard." Ye Zhan replied, "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. ”

"Hehe, Ye Zhan, that's a good point." Han Wantao patted Ye Zhan and asked He Chaoyong again, "Did you have anything to say at home?" ”

"Xu Lang's letter has been read at home." He Chaoyong said, "What does the family mean, the two of you and the cavalry platoon hurry up and go back, and Wanzhou will hand over the two people to me and Ye Zhan first." Zeng Guangxian is training the Western Legion at home, so Brigade Commander Han, you have to go back and deal with the matter of your mixed brigade. The committee asked Xu Lang to prepare a report, and some of the things you mentioned in the letter may have to be submitted to the General Assembly. ”

"So something has to be submitted to the General Assembly?" Xu Lang smiled, "Can't this committee decide?" ”

"Then I don't know." He Chaoyong replied, "I'm just conveying the meaning of the family, what's going on, you better ask the family when you go back." ”

Everyone was talking, and the voice of a sentry came from the door: "Report to the chief, Lord Zhou sent someone to invite Chief Han and Mr. Xu, the troops of other states and counties have arrived." ”

"Got it, tell the comeder, we'll go over right away." Han Wantao stood up, "Let's go, let's take a look, Ye Zhan, you go too." ”

In Zhou Chongde's big tent, Zhou Chongde was greeting with 2 officers. Seeing Han Wantao and the others coming in, Zhou Chongde hurriedly beckoned: "Come on, Brother Han, I'll introduce you to you." ”

Zhou Chongde pointed to a military general wearing a thousand household costumes: "This is Lord Chen Zhenxiang of Danzhou Thousand Households." ”

He pointed to a hundred households next to him: "This is sent by Lord Zhang Shiying, Zhang Hongjie of Hainan Wei." ”

Han Wantao and others clasped their fists and saluted: "I've seen Lord Chen, Lord Zhang." ”

Chen Zhenxiang didn't say anything, but Zhang Hongjie stared at Xu Lang a few times: "This adult, where do we seem to have met?" ”

"Hehe, Master Zhang has a good memory." Xu Lang recognized this Zhang Hongjie, "In the capital city of Qiongzhou back then, Lord Zhang defeated the Haikou and made great contributions. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Hongjie laughed, "I don't know how Jiang Baihu is now?" The official is very worried. ”

"There's Lord Lao Zhang." Xu Lang replied, "Jiang Baihu is fine, and he often mentions adults. ”

"Haha, it turns out that you have known each other for a long time, so it will be even better." Zhou Chongde shouted outside, "Come on, go get some wine and meat, I want to accompany the two adults to have a drink." ”

Han Wantao secretly gave Zhou Chongde a look, and Zhou Chongde came to his senses: "Also, let our baggage team stew, today I want to treat the soldiers of the two adults well." ”

Chen Zhenxiang arched his hand at Zhou Chongde: "I thank Lord Zhou for his kindness on behalf of the soldiers, but it is disrespectful." ”

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Chen Zhenxiang asked Zhou Chongde: "Lord Zhou, let's come all the way to relieve the siege of this Wanzhou, now why don't Lord Gu and Na Cao Hui not even show their faces, has Lord Zhou seen them?" ”

"It's hard to put into words." Zhou Chongde pretended to be indignant, "My old Zhou Zi got the order from Shangfeng, and he rushed over non-stop, and a few fierce battles were fought back. It is said that the food and salary of our guest army should be borne by Wanzhou, but now. Alas, maybe we are all big and coarse, and we can't get into the eyes of other people's Gu adults. ”

"How can it be?" Zhang Hongjie slapped the table, "He Gu Bin is just a small Zhizhou, and even Lord Wu of Qiongzhou is polite to us, but he actually ignores it." Don't worry, Lord Zhou, when I return to Qiongzhou Mansion, I will tell Lord Zhang about the situation here. ”

Chen Zhenxiang glanced at Zhang Hongjie and continued to ask: "Lord Zhou himself pacified the Wanzhou Rebellion, and Lord Zhou has made great contributions. But how did this official see that there were still Li people in this Wanzhou City? ”

"The reason for this, I will tell you to listen to the adults." Xu Lang was afraid that Zhou Chongde would say something wrong again, so he replied first, "This pacification of the Wanzhou Rebellion is not the work of our Yazhou family, everyone has contributed." In fact, I think you may have heard of the reason for the Li riot this time. The emperor's grace is vast, let's know this Li people with affection and reason. The Li people are grateful for the kindness of the saints, and they automatically withdrew their troops, and now this Wanzhou is living in harmony with the Li people, which is the kindness of the emperor, and we are blessed. ”

Chen Zhenxiang glanced at Xu Lang a few times: "According to what you said, this Lord Gu and Cao Hui have provoked the people's uprising?" ”

"Lord Chen is serious." Xu Lang smiled, "Misunderstandings are all caused by misunderstandings." Let's not meddle in this civil official matter. ”

"Then Zhang Baihu and I ran hundreds of miles this time, didn't we not make an inch?" Chen Zhenxiang still asked unrelentingly.

"Hehe, I won't let the two adults run away in vain." Xu Lang laughed and clapped his hands again, "Take it." ”

A couple of soldiers walked into the tent with a few plates.

"Two adults." Xu Lang pointed to the silver on the plate and said, "A little bit of our Lord Zhou's heart, the two adults each tattooed 500 taels of silver, and entertained the two soldiers." In addition, we will bear the military rations in Yazhou this time. ”

Chen Zhenxiang finally smiled: "Lord Zhou is polite." ”

"Don't excuse yourself." Zhou Chongde picked up his wine glass, "Come on, come on, let's not get drunk and don't return." ”

The feast was over, and everyone returned to their barracks. Xu Lang pulled Han Wantao and secretly came to Zhang Hongjie's camp.

"Zhang Baihu, disturbing late at night, how presumptuous." Han Wantao and Xu Lang greeted Zhang Hongjie.

"You're welcome." Zhang Hongjie said, "The official hasn't thanked you for your hospitality in Yazhou, I don't know what the two of you are looking for me?" ”

"Zhang Baihu, in fact, we are not from Yazhou." Han Wantao smiled and said, "We are from Yulin Bay. ”

"You're from Yulin Bay?" Zhang Hongjie was surprised, "What about this silver?" ”

"It's also our Yulin Bay filial piety." After Xu Lang finished speaking, he took out a letter from his clothes, "My lord knows that we have a sugar factory in Yulin Bay in Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

"Of course I know." Zhang Hongjie didn't know what Xu Lang wanted to say, "This sugar factory is also about Lord Wu." ”

"Huh." Xu Lang handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Hongjie, "Bother Zhang Baihu to transfer this letter to Lord Zhang Shiying, with this letter, Lord Zhang can take out 1,000 taels of silver from the sugar factory, which is our filial piety to Lord Zhang in Yulin Bay." ”

Zhang Hongjie took the letter: "The two of you, no merit, I don't know if the two of you need to tell Master Zhang from the official?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Lang said with a smile, "This time in Wanzhou, I hope Zhang Baihu will explain more in front of Lord Zhang." This Gu Bin and Cao Hui, we can't move it at the moment. Also, please tell Lord Zhang that my Yulin Bay militia has now been included in the Yazhou Thousand Households Office, and if Lord Zhang has any needs in the future, we should obey the dispatch. ”

"Xu Gongzi is serious." Zhang Hongjie's eyes rolled a few times, "Your Yulin Bay is now in this Qiongzhou Mansion, which everyone knows, and they all say that it is a paradise-like place." It's just that I don't know what kind of livelihood you have in Qiongzhou Mansion besides the sugar factory, and how well you do it? ”

"Huh." Xu Lang smiled knowingly, "Is Zhang Baihu also interested in doing business?" ”

"Who is not interested in making money with money." Zhang Hongjie was straightforward, "I've been a hundred households for some years, not to mention the benefits, and I have to support those soldiers under me." When I saw your soldiers in Yazhou today, I realized that this soldier is really different from a soldier. If nothing else, just talk about your food, and if I'm ashamed, I can't eat so well every day. ”

"Zhang Baihu, don't worry." Xu Lang said with a smile, "These things are easy to say, Zhang Baihu only needs to return to Qiongzhou Mansion with confidence, and naturally someone will go to discuss cooperation with Zhang Baihu." ”

"Xu Gongzi, Lao Zhang is a real person." Zhang Hongjie hugged his fist at Xu Lang, "Then I'll be waiting in Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

Han Wantao and Xu Lang returned to the barracks and called He Chaoyong and Ye Zhan over.

"He Chaoyong, Ye Zhan." Han Wantao said, "Xu Lang and I have rushed back to Yulin Bay with the cavalry platoon in the past few days, and the infantry company and artillery have left you behind, and there are still some things that need to be explained to you." ”

"Mr. Xu, Chief Han, rest assured." Ye Zhan stood up and replied, "Chief He and I will do our best." ”

"Good." Han Wantao waved his hand and motioned for Ye Zhan to sit down, "We have already screened the soldiers here in Wanzhou, and selected about 200 of them, and Zhou Chongde may also leave more than a dozen personal soldiers." You put them together with our soldiers, and use the name of Wanzhou Thousand Households, and don't use the banner of Yazhou and Yulin Bay. ”

"Without our own banner, there won't be any problems on Cao Hui's side." He Chaoyong asked, "He is a thousand households in Wanzhou." ”

"He's the same as none now." Xu Lang explained, "In general, you only need to inform him once, and you can make your own decisions about important things." ”

"And." Han Wantao continued, "Ma Qiji from Wanzhou is now on our side, if there is anything to go to him, he is a native of Wanzhou and is familiar with the situation." I'll leave you a few horses, and once there is something important, I will immediately send someone to return to Yulin Bay. In addition, in a few days, the army of Changhua Qianhu will also arrive, about 100 people, how to deal with it, you should know. ”

"Yes." He Chaoyong smiled, "Follow today's method." Delicious food and drink were entertained, and the silver was sent away. ”

"Huh." Han Wantao smiled, "You learn quite quickly." Although these expenses were agreed by the committee, Xu Lang and I both signed them. ”

"Understood." After He Chaoyong finished answering, he asked, "Is Zhou Chongde going back with you, what other tasks do we have in Wanzhou besides stationing and training troops?" ”

"Zhou Chongde will go back with us, and he will report the situation here to Wang Kezong." Xu Lang replied to this question, "You don't have any other tasks at the moment, you just need to gain a firm foothold in Wanzhou." When I go back, I will discuss with the committee about how Wanzhou will operate, and when the committee comes up with a result, someone will naturally inform you. ”

"What questions do you have?" Han Wantao asked again.

"No problem." He Chaoyong and Ye Zhan replied at the same time.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can discuss them with Deng Zhongguo, he understands the situation better." Han Wantao said, "Ye Zhan, you go back and rest." He Chaoyong, you stay for a while. ”

"Yes, sir." Ye Zhan got out of the tent, and He Chaoyong asked, "Brigade Commander Han, what's the matter?" ”

"He Chaoyong, we all went back, just you stayed in Wanzhou by yourself, can you do it?" Xu Lang asked with a smile.

"What's not to do." He Chaoyong replied, "Commissioner Xu, do you look down on me? ”

"No one looks down on you, but remember." Han Wantao suddenly said very seriously, "Once something uncontrollable happens, you must return to Yulin Bay safely, your safety is above all else, understand?" ”

"Is this an order?"

"Yes, this is an order, and it is also the principle of our crossing the group."

After another two days, the soldiers of Changhua Qianhu had not yet arrived in Wanzhou, and Gu Bin and Cao Hui still did not show up. Zhou Chongde, Chen Zhenxiang and Zhang Hongjie discussed it and decided not to wait any longer, and the three teams went home separately.
