However, in Jizhou, Shile had already begun preparations for the expedition to merge with the state as early as the beginning of winter last year. strategic deployment and military planning rely on Zhang Bin, the right Changshi and the middle base general; As for the overall planning of grain and straw and the dispatch of materials, they all pressed on the shoulders of Cheng Yao, the general of Right Sima and Ning Shuo.

Cheng Ziyuan was so busy that he was rarely able to sleep for two hours a day, and he was used to holding a pen in his left hand, and thick calluses were born on his knuckles. But he is also painful and happy, and now he is Shi Le's right-hand man with Zhang Bin, although Zhang Mengsun is the first staff officer, he is deeply trusted, and he is almost obedient to Shi Le's words, but seventy percent of the specific authority has fallen into the hands of his Cheng Ziyuan - his left arm is faintly thicker than that right arm.

The day was tossed and turned late. When Zhang Pi came in, he saw Cheng Yao with a lamp and candle, tilting his head, looking at a letter in the exhibition, and hearing the call, he hurriedly folded it up and pressed it under a stack of official documents on the desk. Zhang Pi pretended not to see it, stepped into the door, and arched his hand: "It's late at night, why hasn't Sima gone to bed yet?" Working day and night, I am afraid of hurting my body. ”

Cheng Yao waved his hand: "Zi'an waits, I'll do the handover in a while......"

Zhang Phi hurriedly said: "Sima has seen the fork, I am Zhang Phi." ”

Cheng Yao squinted his eyes and stared at him for a while, and then he laughed: "I have been tired for many days, and my eyesight is gradually declining...... It turned out to be a good analysis. He immediately asked: "Fan Zi'an should be on duty today, why is Liangxi here?" ”

Zhang Pi explained: "Fan joined the army and occasionally felt uncomfortable with the cold, so he exchanged the schedule with Phi on duty......

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly called out to Cheng Yao, saying that there was a fire in the grain camp in the west of the city. Cheng Yao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly arched his hand at Zhang Pi: "Liang Xi waits." Then he ran out barefoot, and he had to be reminded behind him: "Sima Zhi, Sima Zhidi!" ”

When Cheng Yao ran away, Zhang Pi saw that there was no one in the room, his face instantly froze, and he jumped closer to the table, and pulled out the letter at the bottom of the official document.

He still wanted to read carefully, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and in a hurry, he quickly put the text into his sleeve, repressed the cover, and then took three steps back, and stood with his hands - as if he had never moved the nest since Cheng Yao went out.

It turned out that Cheng Yao came back, and smiled at Zhang Phi: "It was the sergeant who caught fire in the night cooking, but fortunately, it was extinguished in time, and I got a report when I arrived at the gate of the mansion." Then he shook his head, as if he was saying to himself: "It is too dangerous to accumulate 100,000 grains in one place, if there is really a fire, how should I substitute for the stone bus......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Pi and said: "I still have to plan this matter tonight, and scatter the grain everywhere - I will be on duty, and I will return to the good analysis." ”

Zhang Pi persuaded a few more words, saying that you are working too hard like this, and you will really exhaust your body. Cheng Yao just smiled bitterly: "Shi Gong treats me kindly, even if I am broken, it will be difficult to repay him." "After that, I waved my hand again and again, and said you go back, I still have a lot of things to do.

Zhang Pi had no choice but to bow and retreat, but not far from the door, he tiptoed back again, leaning against the window and looking in. I saw Cheng Yao take out the cover from under the official document, and he didn't open it, he held it in his hand and muttered for a while, and then went directly to the stove, and his eyes widened, watching the paper burn to ashes, and then he exhaled a long breath and sat down......

Zhang Pi left the government office, rode a horse to avoid the night guards, and went straight to the right Changshi Mansion, knocked on the corner door, and quietly entered. Zhang Bin hadn't slept yet, and when he heard that Zhang Phi was visiting at night, he hurriedly greeted him at the entrance of the hall, and when he met, he asked: "Qing is coming at this time, isn't it the matter of the investigation the day before yesterday?" ”

Zhang Pi nodded. Zhang Bin immediately led him into the hall and dismissed the servants, and Zhang Pi took out the letter from his sleeve and presented it to Zhang Bin with both hands. Zhang Bin approached the candle flame and took a closer look. The letter is very short, only three or four lines, and there is no signature, the content is-

"I came to the book the day before yesterday, and I knew the text, and I took what I said. He has a wolf's heart, occupies a state, and the disaster of the two dynasties is also, so he hopes to plot from it and take our army north. That is, it cannot destroy the fang, but also mess with its deployment, so that the Ming Duke can concentrate on Western affairs and have no worries. Xu Fang also gained peace from this, and he felt salty and virtuous. ”

The more Zhang Bin looked, the more his brows tightened, and he casually asked Zhang Phi: "Is this the only paper?" Is there a different text? ”

Zhang Pi replied: "On the cover, it is only written 'the book is submitted to Cheng Sima', and there is no payment. However, in Phi's view, the letter person is not Xi Daohui, but Su Zigao. Cheng Yao really had a secret communication with Xuzhou, this is the evidence of the crime! Zhang Gong should be in a hurry to play Shi Gong and expose his treacherous scheme! ”

Zhang Bin read the letter again, and then said slowly: "No. Then he explained: "The book is from outside, and there is no real name, so it is difficult to confirm." And I don't believe that Cheng Ziyuan will turn his back on Shi Gong......"

Zhang Pi asked with some doubts: "Does Zhang Gong really trust Cheng Yao so much?" According to my secret investigation, his person did have a secret communication with Xuzhou......"

Zhang Bin replied: "Pei Wenyue is treacherous and changeable, Cheng Ziyuan may have fallen into his trap, but he is not enough to betray Shi Gong and do it for the Jin people...... And his sister is Shi Gong's step-family, Shi Hong has been born, and everyone is registered as the son, so how can he be married to Shi's kindness and righteousness, and Uncle Lang's relatives? ”

Zhang Phi pouted and said, "He is a Jin man after all......"

Zhang Bin glanced at him obliquely: "We are all from the Jin people, and now we are from the Han people!" ”

Zhang Pi knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly apologized, but then asked: "But I worked hard to steal this book, is it useless?" ”

Zhang Bin groaned: "Don't play Shi Gong...... If Cheng Ya has different intentions, he will inevitably quibble, this letter is not any empirical evidence - there is no real reference, there is no signature, he can be said to have been found from elsewhere, the person who received the letter is not 'Cheng Sima'; if he really has no dissenting intentions, I will become a villain who slanders......" Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's just a slander, I'm afraid of falling into Pei Wenyue's trap!" ”

Pei Gai had a correspondence with Cheng Yao, which is possible, and it is also reasonable for Xi Jian or Su Jun to write to Cheng Yao at the instigation of Pei Gai. But the content of the letter can be made up blindly, either to divide Shi Le's monarchs and ministers, or to force Cheng Yao to go into the water - you see, I am talking nonsense with the letter today, and tomorrow I can deliberately intercept a letter that is also nonsense, and ask if you are afraid, do you dare to obey orders?

Therefore, Zhang Bin said: "I should look for an opportunity to hint to Cheng Yao that this book is in my hands—whether he has treacherous intentions or not, he will be frightened and coveted, and it can be made by me." ”

Zhang Phi was a little unhappy, arched his hand, and waited to resign. Zhang Bin was all about the content of the letter just now, and then he suddenly remembered it, and hurriedly asked Zhang Pi: "Qing stole this book, can Cheng Yao be aware of it?" ”

Zhang Pi smiled: "I was also in a hurry, hiding this book in my sleeve, and secretly peeking on Cheng Yao's movements afterwards, and seeing that he had not opened the cover again, he had burned it...... "That guy must have thought that even the text was on fire, so don't worry, you won't suspect me."

Zhang Bin said: "Cheng Yao has always been clumsy in planning, but recently he has been enlightened, so he must be guarded against...... It is better to call the illness better, don't go to the government office for a few days, and after I hint at the process, I will be afraid. ”

Zhang Pi smiled: "Zhang Gong is too cautious...... And suddenly called the illness, isn't it against the suspicion of starting the journey? ”

Zhang Bin nodded, and said yes, I thought about it-"It's better for me to play Shi Gong tomorrow, turn Liangxi to the side, and you will be fine." ”

Zhang Pi bowed his head and thanked him, and then went out.

But on the way home, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, and said in his heart that I had made such a great contribution, but I couldn't show it to others, but it became a private transaction between you Zhang Bin and Cheng Yao...... Although you Zhang Bin may be grateful to me, but in order to avoid people's eyes, it is inconvenient to promote me as soon as possible, right?

In addition, he really hated Cheng Yao's good governance, and he thought that he could bring down that guy in one fell swoop this time, but Zhang Bin looked forward and backward and refused to let go. In Zhang Pi's view, Cheng Yao's crime of collaborating with the enemy is a certainty, because Zhang Bin is not like himself, seeing the expression on Cheng Yao's face when he burns the letter - it is definitely a ghost in his heart! It is difficult to describe the problem to Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin even insisted that Cheng Yao would not betray Shi Le......

Well, even if Cheng Yao really didn't betray Shi Le, so what? The two of you are fighting for more than a day, and Cheng Yao is relying on offering his sister to invite pets, pressing step by step, if it is me, even if this is Pei Gai's trap, I will go and jump, just to knock Cheng Yao down!

If Shi Gong leaves you Zhang Mengsun, it may be difficult to succeed, but what if you are far away from Cheng Zi? And I can go on top!

Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to not only bring down Cheng Yao, but also break away from Zhang Bin's door and stand on your own?

The more Zhang Pi thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became, so after returning home, he hurriedly wrote out the letter silently, and then the next morning, he came to report to Shile.

Shi Le got the letter a little confused, and said Zhang Liangxi, I don't know how to read, don't you know? What is written on this, you read it to me.

Even if Zhang Pidang recited the letter again, he finished describing the causes and consequences of stealing the book to Shi Le in detail - of course, he would not say that he had been secretly coracting with Zhang Bin for a long time, and had been staring at this matter, only saying that he saw Cheng Yao last night with a wrong expression, and as soon as he saw him enter the door, he hurriedly hid something, so he peeked into one or two, and he actually had to solve the treacherous scheme.

Shi Le frowned, and raised the letter in his hand: "Is this the letter you stole from Cheng Sima to collaborate with the enemy?" ”

Zhang Pi said no-"The minister knew that this matter was important, so he went to report to the right marquis at night, and the letter was really at the right marquis, this is a copy written by the minister......"

"In that case, why didn't the right marquis present the true letter, but asked you to report a copy?"

Zhang Pi replied half-truthfully: "Right Hou Yunshu is from outside, and it is difficult to make empirical evidence, so I first withheld the letter, and wanted to wait for the opportunity to question Cheng Sima face to face." However, the minister thought that Cheng Sima's crime of collaborating with the enemy was conclusive, and if he could not investigate it urgently, he was afraid that he would destroy the evidence, and even flee when he heard the news. And now he is shouldering a heavy responsibility to raise food for the army, if he deliberately engages in personal gain, he will miss the westward expedition. It is because the ministers dare not hide it a little, and they will come to report to the Ming Gong when they are tomorrow. ”

Shi Le's expression was relieved, and he praised it: "Qing is really a loyal person, and he can be a big responsibility." Then the conversation changed, saying that I can't listen to you about this, so it's better to call Zhang Bin and Cheng Yao over and confront them face to face - if Cheng Yao collaborates with the enemy and Zhang Bin conceals both truths, I must take military discipline seriously and never tolerate it!
