Pei should write a letter, give it to the tribe Taode, and order him to send it to Youzhou.

Todd is a native of Changsha, born as an orphan, a small wanderer, purely in the wild to hunt wild dogs and street mixed up tricks, hungry and full can grow to eighteen years old, and the size is not low - maybe the blood relationship is better, although he except for his own name, the past family status is not clear. Later, Wang Dao Nandu, picked it up on the road, loved him burly, and accepted it as a ministry, and gave it to Pei Gai.

In the extreme north, Tao De naturally had never been there, but he had made a trip to Linzhang and had met Liu Yan, so Pei should send him north to Linzhang first, ask Liu Yan for a guide, go to Youzhou to visit Pei Xian, and taught him a set of rhetoric in advance. Because the first half of the road is very familiar, Pei should not send more people - go out for four more, and only come back, how can it be good?

So Tao De left Huaiyin, first traced Huai, went to Qian County to say hello to Zu Ti, rested for two days, and then went all the way north, through Liangguo, Jiyin, Puyang, and crossed the Yellow River near Baima. He had a horse under his crotch, a long knife at his waist, and a set of light leather armor on his body, and the idle bandits did not dare to come to provoke, so there was no wind and no waves, and he arrived at Santai in Linzhang half a month later.

Liu Yan was rewarded and summoned to enter. Tao De first presented Pei Gai's letter to Liu Yan, as well as Mrs. Xi's letter to Xi Jian's family. Xi Daohui shed tears when he saw the letter, and said to Tao De: "Cheng Pei envoy takes care of my wife and children, and if you remember it in your heart, you will be repaid." ”

Todd recited what Pei Gai taught him: "The governor of my family said that as long as Gong Xi assists General Liu, drives out Hu Lu, and rebuilds Sheji, there will be a day when he will meet his wife and son...... Since Huaiyin has arrived, the road is still quiet, so he will not send his wife and son to reunite with Xi Gong for the time being. ”

Xi Jian nodded: "The wife and children are at Pei Yuanjun's place, Jian is very relieved, and there is no need to escort him." ”

Over there, Liu Yan finished reading Pei Gai's letter, but couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked Tao Dedao: "Pei Zhijun sent you to Youzhou, what do you have to say to Wang Pengzu?" "Their uncle and nephew of the Liu family have always been at odds with Wang Jun, and the world knows about it, so it doesn't matter if Pei should contact Wang Jun, and he still wants to borrow from him, and even ask for a guide, isn't it too much?

Tao De hurriedly explained: "The governor of my family has already explained in the letter that the villain's trip is to send a letter to Pei Gongjing and Jing ......."

Liu Yan reminded him: "Pei Jingsi." ”

"Yes, it is to send a letter to Pei Gongjingsi, after all, they are all Wenxi family, and they are the uncle of my family's governor. Wang Youzhou is located very far away, and his family has no contact with the Pei family, so how can he have anything to say to him? ”

Liu Yan looked at Tao De: "What kind of faith do you have on you, I can't say, I want to search it." ”

Todd casually took out another letter from his bosom and presented it, and then opened his arms: "General, please search, there is nothing else." ”

Liu Yan took the letter and took a look, and saw that it was written on the cover: "Uncle Jingsi respects it, and his nephew should be respectful." It is also sealed with fire paint and stamped with the seal of "Xuzhou Thorn History". Although he was suspicious, he was not easy to dismantle and look at casually, so he sent someone to search Tao De's body, and sure enough, there was nothing else except some dry food and a few hundred and a half baht.

"Since you have come from afar, you can go down and rest first, and wait for me to arrange a guide to send you north."

When Tao De left, Liu Yan asked Xi Jian: "I suspect that Pei Wen has a secret book hidden in the letter to Pei Jingsi, otherwise it is a family letter, why should it be sealed?" What does Gong Xi think? ”

Xi Jian smiled: "This must be ear." Then he explained: "Wang Pengzu set up a platform in Youzhou and appointed Pei Jingsi as a scholar." Pei Jingsi and Pei Wen didn't talk to each other for a long time and asked, if they stopped paying a letter to their families, how could they not ask Wang Pengzu by the way? Wang Pengzu is suspicious, Pei Wen is now a state assassin history, if there is no word with it, I am afraid that Pei Jingsi has the intention of jumping south - then this book may take Pei Jingsi's life! ”

When Liu Yan heard this, his brows became tighter and tighter.

I heard Xi Jian say again: "However, there is a gap between your family and Wang Pengzu, and the sea knows that if the letter with Wang Pengzu falls into the hands of the general, it will be destroyed, and the bad division and Xu Meng are good, so that even if the general is suspicious, it is inconvenient to dismantle it, but if it is not dismantled, the face will not be damaged." Do you want to make peace with Wang Pengzu when the general is jealous of Pei Wenyue? I think there must be no reason for this. Pei Wenyue, Zu Shizhi is also a friend, and Zu Shizhi is Liu Gongwen's friend who danced with chickens, Xu, Yan, Si, and, natural one, Wang Peng Zuan can be between? ”

After listening to this exhortation, Liu Yan stretched his eyebrows slightly, nodded his head, and then asked: "Pei Jingsi is like a person, does Gong Xi know?" ”

Xi Jian replied: "Pei Jingsi is the third son of Pei Shuze, the king of the East China Sea once thought that he was the assassin of Yuzhou, the general of Beizhong Lang, and the fake festival, and then he was forced by Shi Le to go to Wang Pengzu. His people are few and smart, and light and chivalrous, known as ambitious, I heard Yingchuan Yu Zisong once praised: 'This son is bright and Hongda, knows his life, I don't know how to do with his father? As for Shenhong Baosu, those who do not linger with the world's things are excessive. ’”

Liu Yan asked again: "How is it better than Gong Xi?" ”

Xi Jian smiled: "Don't dare to compare." However, Pei Jingsi and Yingchuan Xun Shuyan are both in Youzhou, but unfortunately Wang Pengzu can't use it, otherwise I'm afraid that your family will be difficult to resist. ”

Liu Yan gritted his teeth angrily: "Why does my family want to fight against him?" This is a state affair, so that the sect Liu Xi returned to his hometown of Zhongshan to gather the people, Wang Pengzu not only obstructed, but also sent Yan Xiang Hu Ju, and summoned Duan Ji Lu and broke it! If it is not only Youzhou, but even Jizhou is regarded as a bag and a private property, so where is the imperial court placed? ! I expect Wang Pengzu to rebel sooner or later! ”

After scolding angrily, he asked Xi Jian: "Does Gong Xi think that Pei Jingsi and Xun Shuyan are willing to abandon Wang Pengzu and come to Linzhang for me, or go west to Jinyang to assist my family?" ”

Xi Jian sighed slightly: "If this is the case, then restore the division and destroy Pingyang, and there will be one more chance." It's just that you can't do it, when you say it slowly, so as not to be noticed by Wang Pengzu. ”

Liu Yan said: "I want to order someone to go to Youzhou with Tao De and lobby the second duke, I don't know who can be sent?" Does Gong Xi have a recommendation? ”

Xi Jian thought for a moment and replied, "Fan Yang Lu Jian Yingke is also." ”

——————————

Lu Jianying's father, the fifth grandson of Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, was born and ugly, so his status in the family was very low. He was good at learning the name of the sentence at a young age, governing the book and the Spring and Autumn Period, and he was also out of step with the times in what he learned, so he had not been able to come out of office before. During the "Yongjia Rebellion", the Lu clan in Luoyang discussed where to flee, Lu Zhi's cousin Lu Chen was Liu Kun's nephew, and of course suggested Beitou Jinyang, but Lu Zhi's father did not agree with Lu Chen, so he left the clan and traveled east alone, wanting to escape back to his hometown Fanyang through Jizhou. As a result, he was only halfway through the road, and the plate money was robbed by the bandits, and he barely escaped for his life, living near Linzhang, temporarily making brooms and selling them to make a living.

When Liu Yan occupied Linzhang, Lu Zhi's father went to pay respects. Because he is too ugly to look at, and he can't talk clearly, he is not liked by Liu Yan, but because of the Lu family and his cousin relationship with Lu Chen, he gave him a little scribe to do. It wasn't until Xi Jian came to Santai and talked with Lu Zhifu a few times that he felt that this person was quite talented, so he recommended him to Liu Yan, and Liu Yan promoted him to be the main bookkeeper.

After listening to Xi Jian's words, Liu Yan immediately summoned Lu Zhifu and asked him to follow Tao De to Youzhou to meet Pei Xian and Xun Xuan, hoping that he could persuade the two to give up Wang Jun and switch to Zhongshan Liu. Lu Zhifu bowed down to receive the order, and Liu Yan asked him: "Do you need me to write a letter and bring it with Qing?" Lu Zhifu shook his head and said, "This trip is like stealing people's property, how can you leave evidence?" But ask for a chapter on the general, and you can prove the identity of the last official. ”

Liu Yan immediately found a blank piece of paper, stamped it with his seal of "Dingxiang Marquis", and handed it to Lu Zhifu. Lu Zhifu folded it carefully, took off the crown and curtain, and carefully hid it in the bun.

Then he found a guide who was familiar with the northern road, and a dozen small soldiers escorted Tao De and Lu Zhifu north. They soon entered Shile's territory, but fortunately, with Liu Yan's token, they naturally traveled all the way unimpeded. Todd has always been hanging in his heart and fear, because Pei Gai mentioned to him that my enmity with Shile is as deep as the sea, and if Shile knows that you are my messenger, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you...... It's best not to see him, and even if you do, don't mention that I sent you!"

Fortunately, Liu Yan and Shi Le are still on peace for the time being, and he sent people to cross the border to Jizhou - mainly to return to his hometown Zhongshan - not one or two trips, and the ordinary pass guards will be directly let go, so there is no need to alarm Shi Le again. Because Shi Le knew that Liu and Wang were not in harmony, he was not worried that Liu Yan would agree with Wang Jun at all, and hoped that he would send someone back to his hometown, just like Liu Xi last year, recruiting troops in Zhongshan and making trouble, adding to Wang Pengzu's blockage.

Todd and Lu Zhifu have been walking for many days, so it is inevitable that they will talk about the sky and dialogue. Originally, Lu Zhi's father looked down on Tao De, and he did not hesitate to deal with the other party - although he was a concubine, Fan Yang Lu's family was also a first-class scholarly family, and his family may not be as good as Wenxi Pei's Xuanhe, but he was far above the Liu family in Zhongshan, but he was just an uncivilized martial artist on the other side, how could he have anything to say? However, after all, Tao De is Pei Gai's messenger, this time he sent the letter to the north, and when he arrived in Linzhang, he had to stammer with Liu, but when he left Linzhang and then passed through Shile's jurisdiction, he should turn around, and Lu Zhi's father stammered Tode. Otherwise, as long as Tao De pretended to inadvertently reveal the identity of Lu Zhi's father—even if it wasn't clear that he was ordered by Liu Yan to go to Youzhou to lobby Pei Xian and Xun Xuan, and still treat him as an ordinary guide—would Wang Jun's subordinates be polite to Liu Yan's subordinates? If you don't catch it, you can directly "click" it, and you can be regarded as a rare benevolent gentleman......

So even if there is no common language, Lu Zhi's father has to open his mouth and try to get close to Taodra. Of course, if you don't say a few words, the topic will naturally turn to Pei Gai -

"Qing is Pei Envoy Jun's ministry, so naturally he often follows Pei Envoy Jun?"

Tao De said yes - "The villain is in Jiangdong, and the king Sima Xiang gave it to Pei Yuanjun, so he crossed the river from it, garrisoned Huaiyin, and followed him back and forth, for nearly three years, and rarely stayed away." ”

Lu Zhifu took the opportunity to ask: "In Qing's opinion, how can your envoy be like a person?" ”

Without hesitation, Todd replied: "My family envoy is a hero of the world and a hero of the world!" "The net starts

It is reasonable for the trilogy to say good things about his father-in-law, on the contrary, if he leaves the lord's side, he will pour bitter water with people, which is relatively rare and unheard of. If that's the case, Lu Zhifu doesn't have to continue to ask, Pei should be extremely unbearable. Just a general kind remark could not satisfy Lu Zhi's father, so he asked: "Why do you think so?" What is Pei Yuanjun's temperament, and what are his deeds? Please be informed. ”

As Xi Jian said, since Pei Gai and Zu Qi intersected, he naturally belonged to the same camp as Liu Kun, and it was Liu Yan's ally, and the two sides said that it was not close, and it was not too far away to say that it was far away - the key is that there was no strong force in the middle - it is likely that they will have to help each other in the future, so as a minister of Linzhang, Lu Zhifu must be interested in what kind of person Pei Gai is and how capable he is.

To understand a person, starting from the people around him, of course, it is easiest to understand the truth - even if there are beautiful words, as long as you talk about the details, you can find out what is going on, Lu Zhifu is still confident in his ability to analyze gossip.

This time, Todd seemed to hang his head and think for a while, and then replied: "My family makes the king of the world, but there is no arrogance, and he treats my subordinates and even his subordinates very well, and there is no arrogance in words and deeds. He was in Huaiyin, but every day but to care for the people, training soldiers, to restore the Central Plains as the mind...... The villain did not see the things in the past, but he also heard about it. In the battle of Kuxian that day, the king was captured by Shile, and the minister worshiped in front of the thief's tent, but only my family made the king hold his head high and did not bow ......"
