Inside and outside Longshou Pass, a large number of Shimen soldiers were preparing to set off.

They live in the barracks in the Guancheng, the Longshou Pass is the key point, is the last barrier to defend the city of Dali, has always been guarded by heavy soldiers, so the barracks built by the Dali government are dense in the Guancheng, enough to fit tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

The rice in the warehouse was also sufficient, and it was expected that the guards would last for a year. Gao Yuchenglong ran in a hurry, and of course his subordinate generals were not responsible, and when they retreated, they scattered as birds and beasts, and the clothes and rice grains hoarded in the official warehouse were piled up, and no one thought of destroying or setting a fire to it, and burned the matter.

The barracks are ready-made, and the food is also ready-made, which has helped Shimenfan a lot, they came lightly, without carrying baggage, and it is quite laborious and material resources to transport it from the distant Shimenfan or the nearby Huiwu County, and now it can be solved on the spot, which is very good.

The eldest grandson Hong took a big advantage.

So he was in a good mood and had a smile on his face all the time.

Wisps of cooking smoke rose, the aroma of rice was permeated, the dragon closed the door and opened and closed the door, and the cooked food was not only for his own soldiers, but also brought out some rice, and sent a special dispatch to the surrounding barbarian people, everyone could come to receive half a liter of rice, and the people nearby ran to tell each other, and they were overjoyed.

The team leading the rice lined up outside the gate, and the jubilant Shimen Fan soldiers shouted while maintaining order: "Don't worry, don't squeeze, everyone can get it, if it's not enough, when our ghost king takes Dali City, more rice will be sent, you don't have to panic!" ”

The people of the mountains are almost crying, for a long time, they have never met an official who cherishes the people so much, the government has always only known to collect taxes and pay grain, and let them take money and grain out of their purses? Dream on.

I don't know who took the lead, the more and more people gathered began to call the name of the ghost king with gratitude, and some people shouted the title of Mr. Changsun, thanking them, and many people even after receiving the rice, regardless of the mountain shouting long live, kneeling on the ground and crying.

Seeing this scene, and then looking at the smiling face of the eldest grandson Hong sitting calmly opposite, the Great Song Dynasty Sichuan envoy Yu Hou Miliang was very uncomfortable.

He didn't care what Shang Shuma Shu of the Dali Military Department who was standing beside him thought, frowned and said to Changsun Hong in a rough voice: "Mr. Changsun, you are the deputy envoy of the defense of Xuzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people under you have crossed the way of the monarch and the minister, and shouted long live, it is not a trivial matter, if you let the imperial history know, you will be a new official, and it will be less than a month since you took office, don't lose the official!" ”

"Really?" Eldest Sun Hong blinked, put his hand to his ear, listened attentively, and then spread his hands and said innocently: "Why didn't I hear it?" ”

"This is the Guannai, there is a wall to block it, of course you can't hear it." Mi Liang endured the anger, stretched out his hand and pointed outward: "You go outside, walk to the closed door, and you can hear it." ”

"Oh? So far, huh? Changsun Hong cried out and gently beat his legs: "Alas, Shangguan doesn't know, my legs, I suffered from rheumatism in Shimenfan, and it hurts when it rains, and I can't walk the road, where can I go so far to the city gate to listen?" But don't worry, Shangguan, I will immediately send someone to take a look, listen, if there is such a thing, I must take someone and ask him seriously. ”

He looked left and right, and casually pointed to someone: "Oh, you go and see if that's the case." ”

The man was also clever, and said with a sad face: "Sir, the people outside are all barbarians, and I can understand the barbarian words they say, so it is better to choose another person." ”

The eldest grandson Hong was furious: "You have been here for so long, how can you not understand the barbarian words?" ”

The man said: "I am a Han Chinese, so naturally I don't know how to speak barbaric, and Mr. also knows that Han people don't understand it, so we generally don't get along." ”

Changsun Hong patted his head and said suddenly: "Yes, the barbarians speak barbarian words, and the Han people can't understand it." ”

So he turned his face and said to Mi Liang with a smile: "The barbarians said the barbarian words, Shangguan must not understand, he must have heard it wrong, he heard it wrong, hahaha!" ”

This kind of trick that almost treats Mi Liang as a fool makes Mi Liang dumbfounded, and he doesn't know how to deal with it at all, he has been an official in Sichuan for more than ten years, and has been to a lot of barbarian lands, whether it is Sizhou Banzhou, or Dali here, he has never been fooled by this kind, and it is so obvious.

He was furious, and he was about to have a seizure, and the Dali Military Department Shangshu hurriedly stopped him, pulled his sleeve and comforted him: "Lord Yuhou, don't worry, don't worry, let's do the right thing first, do the right thing, the barbarians don't understand the royal way, it's common to do something offensive, don't worry too much about it, it's all foolish people, it's not too late to settle down slowly in the future, come, let's sit down first, sit down first." ”

He looked left and right, and found that there seemed to be no other chair in the hall except for the one where Changsun Hong was sitting.

Only then did I remember that it seemed that since the two of them entered the house, Changsun Hong had never mentioned inviting them to sit down.

That's embarrassing.

Changsun Hong looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear him.

Ma Shu coughed, so he had to take a step forward and stand up and speak: "This, Mr. Changsun, is like this, this official is on the order of the lord of Dali, and Lord Mi is on the order of Lord Zhao, the envoy of the Sichuan system of the Great Song Dynasty, and came here together." The reason why I came here was that there was something, and I asked Mr. Changsun to agree. ”

Mi Liang stood behind the hemp bundle angrily and did not speak.

Changsun Hong didn't say anything, picked up a cup of tea on the table next to him, and pursed his lips to drink tea.

Of course, he didn't order tea to be served to the two people who were standing.

Ma Shu dry his throat, he could only look at the eldest grandson Hong, who drank water very moist, swallowed his saliva, and said patiently: "The lord of my family said that because of the overall situation of Mr. Yi's war, the Gao family has betrayed their relatives and left, and the lord of the country captured its leader in Dali City in one fell swoop, Gao Yuchenglong, and took down hundreds of people from his door, Dali soldiers and civilians are all happy, and now there are no remnants of the evil party in Dali City, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the four seas are peaceful. It's all in the hands of the lord. In order to sympathize with the army, the lord of the country asked Mr. to rest in the pass, and the money and food of the labor army arrived later, please do not move, so as not to cross the border, so that Dali finally settled down The situation was alarmed by the soldiers. ”

Changsun Hong put down the cup and asked expressionlessly: "But the head of your family didn't say that at the beginning. ”

"Yes, but things are changing rapidly, and the lord of the country did not expect that Mr. would be so powerful that he would be so frightened that Gao Yuchenglong fled into the wilderness, panicking like a lost dog, and he could easily take it." Ma Shu squeezed out a smile and said flatteringly: "This is also due to Mr. Shenwei!" However, if you think about it carefully, it is also a good thing to be able to go to Dali City without Mr. Lao, all the barbarian soldiers in Shimen are strong men, and in the future, the officials of the Song Dynasty will see it in their eyes, and they must be reused, and they will not spend soldiers in Dali, and they will be able to make great achievements in the future! ”

When he said this, it was pleasant to hear, but Mi Liang, who was standing behind, was a little unhappy, and snorted heavily from his nostrils, which meant to be disapproving.

The eldest grandson Hong turned a deaf ear, as if he didn't hear it, but just asked bluntly: "Then how can you compensate me for the lord of your family?" ”

Mi Liang's nostrils changed to a contemptuous snort this time.

His subtext is that barbarians are heavy profits, and they don't know anything about etiquette, righteousness and shame.

Ma Shu probably didn't expect Changsun Hong to say so explicitly, so he had to think about it for a while, and replied: "The title and crown of the king of Zhenbei can be sent over in a few days, and the money and grain of the labor army are counted as 100,000 copper coins and 50,000 buckets of grain, and when they accumulate enough, they will be transported over immediately." ”

He looked up at Changsun Hong's expression and said, "Mr. Changsun is still satisfied?" ”

Before Changsun Hong's answer, Ma Shu felt someone behind him grab him, strode up to him, and shouted unceremoniously to Changsun Hong.

"Changsun Hong, you have become the official of the Great Song Dynasty and the deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense, how can you be the king of Zhenbei in Dali again? If one servant does not matter to two masters, do you want to be the ruler of two countries? ”

Mi Liang asked aggressively, with an angry look on his face.

Changsun Hong looked at him, squinted his eyes and smiled, and replied, "When did I agree to be the deputy envoy of Xuzhou defense of the Song Dynasty?" ”

Mi Liang was stunned, and before he could react, Changsun Hong asked again: "What Dali gave me, can the Song Dynasty give it to me?" ”
