Chapter 666: Arrow on the String (continued)



Su Jing has been in the Shenzhou Assassin for three years, his political achievements are outstanding, and he is becoming more and more sophisticated and down-to-earth, and now it is time to move his position. Li Yu died of illness not long ago, and the position of the envoy of Longquan Jiedu was temporarily vacant and no one was replaced, so Su Qing wanted to fight for his brother.

Li Mao hesitated for a moment and asked Su Qing: "Is this what he meant, or what do you mean?" Su Qing said: "He is an honest man, how embarrassed to open up to you, I mean." I know this is a taboo against you, but I still can't help but say it, he is not young, and people with the same qualifications as him have a higher status than him, so you can't lose your family. ”

Li Mao said: "This is not to buy vegetables in the vegetable market, cabbage is not to buy spinach. In his position, he must be more stable as an official, and the higher he climbs, the heavier he falls. Longquan is a new annexed land, the place is unstable, often use soldiers, the eldest brother is skilled in government affairs, but he does not know how to use soldiers, I am afraid he will not be able to control the place. ”

Su Qing said: "I've thought about this for you, match him with a person who knows the soldiers, hasn't Taigong been idle, you said that he was good at causing trouble in Youzhou, so he was simply sent to Longquan and gave him something to do." After the end of the war, the slave army accepted the reorganization, Li Mao dismissed Gui Zhisheng from his position because of Gui Zhisheng's old age, and let him rest assured that he would retire in Youzhou, and he didn't want this old man to be lonely, and he took a group of children in and out of the land of fireworks all day long, and the impact was very bad.

Li Mao muttered: "Taigong, he is so old, can he still use a knife...... Su Qing hurriedly said: "Why can't he, he now has to eat two catties of meat and one catty of wine for a meal, and he goes to Loulan Pavilion to play every once in a while, and his health is fine." ”

Su Qing's words are different from the report of the Internal Security Department, Guizhi's food is not bad, and his health should be fine, but he does not go to Loulan Pavilion every once in a while, but he goes every day, and often does not return at night.

Li Mao smiled and said, "It's not that I refute your face, it's really this matter...... Okay, okay, don't be like this, I'll think about the big brother's business, in short, let him be satisfied, let you be satisfied. ”

Li Mao thought that this matter was over, and he didn't want Su Qing to secretly exercise Zheng Xiaozhang, Wen Cheng, Xie Biao and others to help Su Jing speak, except for Zheng Xiaozhang's old plan and did not accept the offer, Wen Cheng and Xie Biao both got on her thief ship, and Wen Cheng also made a proposal at the highest meeting.

This made Li Mao embarrassed, Su Jing's ability and qualifications to be the envoy of the Longquan Festival, he has a mind, he has elegance, can listen to the opinions of others, and there will be no big mess for him to assign a general to guard Longquan. However, Longquan is Tian Qing's territory, and he also promised to give her a seal in the future, no matter whether this word can be fulfilled in the future, it is not appropriate to regret it now. Let Su Jing enter Longquan, it is inevitable that she will have to explain to her a lot, but it happens that she is not in Youzhou, and there will inevitably be something wrong with the correspondence, and it will not be good if there is a misunderstanding because of this.

She is a person who has revenge, and she is also a very forbearant person, she will not make trouble with herself now, and she will definitely make trouble a hundred times in the future, but she can't say this to Su Qingming. Li Mao was very distressed for a while.

At this moment, Hu Sijin came with news that signs of fierce palace fighting had been discovered, and he predicted that the big change would be within the year. Hu Sijin sent such a message before Tian Qian arrived in Chang'an, it was nothing more than to prove his existence, Li Mao knew him very well, he was a timid and cautious person, and he never made any judgment without seven or eight points of certainty, so he saw that Chang'an was about to change greatly, and he must speed up the transfer of Liaodong troops into the customs.

There are heavy troops stationed in Longquan Mansion, and someone must go over to preside over it, so Li Mao had no choice but to agree to Su Qing against his will, let Su Jing go to Longquan, and use Gui Zhisheng as the soldier and horse envoy of the slave army and the soldier and horse envoy of the capital to accompany him.

After this matter was done, Li Mao finally felt that it was inappropriate, so he wrote a long letter to Tian Qian, explaining the reason, hoping to get her understanding. The letter was brought to Chang'an by Han Jiangchun, Han Jiangchun and Xi Xiangling had matured in the pro-army experience, and Li Mao had been reused as a pro-army general. Tian Qian and Hu Sijin are both resourceful people, and they can't do the work of fighting and killing. Han Jiangchun has been in the right wing and in the army, and it is not a problem to kill a few people, so he was sent there this time to help Tian Qing.

As soon as Tian Qian arrived in Chang'an, she took over the command of the Jingxi branch of the right wing from Hu Sijin, and began to dig deep into the signs of palace fighting.

Pei Zan, the son of Pei Renyong, the envoy of the Suining Jiedu, recently recruited strong men in Ningzhou in the name of exterminating the horse bandits in Suining, but the requirements were very special: he must be a single man who has no home and no worries, preferably someone who has committed something and has nowhere to live, is poor, ambitious and knows how to work hard.

This is a strong man who recruits bandits, this is clearly recruiting dead soldiers, and what to do when recruiting dead soldiers, it is self-evident in connection with the current delicate situation.

Tian Qian replied to Li Mao with a letter, indicating that he had no complaints about Su Jing's control of Longquan, and at the same time sent someone to Su Qing and the sisters to each send a Chang'an specialty, the sisters were foils, and it was true to give Su Qing a gift. The main purpose of doing this is to show Su Qing her heart: she Tian Qian doesn't mind Su Jing taking charge of Longquan.

As soon as the envelope was sent, she called Hu Sijin over and instructed: "You send a capable man to the outskirts of Ningzhou, try to penetrate the dead soldiers recruited by Pei Zan, and find out their movements." The stakes are high, you go personally. I don't care what means you use, I just want to hear the results. ”

In front of Tian Qi, Hu Sijin had already been reduced to an ordinary deacon, and he only had the share of being an officer, although he was not convinced, he was helpless. Accepting the task and about to leave, Han Jiangchun said: "The master of the dignified concert hall went out of Beijing for no reason, which inevitably makes people want to get into trouble. I'm here to do this, and I've been away from Beijing for three years, and the old gang is gone, and no one knows me. Tian Qian snorted and sent Hu Sijin away, but said to Han Jiangchun: "You are new to the city, I will give you a face." But there is no joke in the army, you take care of it, just do it for me, don't blame me for driving you back to Youzhou if you don't do it well. ”

Han Jiangchun stuck out his tongue, screamed loudly, came out and discussed secretly with Hu Sijin for a night, and the next day Hu Sijin helped him with assistants, and Han Jiangchun set off for Ningzhou.

Han Jiangchun is tall and strong, and he is dyed after Qin Mo, he was originally a bandit, and after serving in the right wing, he often does some dirty work, and he can't be more familiar with a set of rivers and lakes. This time, he pretended to be a suspect who absconded after killing people in his hometown, wandered around Ningzhou for more than ten days, and finally fell into Pei Zan's eyes, one afternoon, he was drunk by the owner of a noodle shop, and when he woke up, he found that he was hanging in a dark room, and the three fierce gods tortured him in turn, asking him to confess the fact of the killing, Han Jiangchun said it over and over again, even the details were not different.

The three men looked at each other and thought that he was not lying, so they put him down and asked him if he would like to serve in the border army and atone for his crimes. Wars in the northwest of Beijing were frequent, and the soldiers were extremely hard, often recruiting criminals to join the army, and repaying their crimes with military merits. There was nothing wrong with asking this, and Han Jiangchun couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly agreed.

Han Jiangchun first mixed in the new barracks for a few days, and was picked up by Pei Zan and taken to the field barracks for closed training.

After another half a month of training, Zhu Gui, Pei Zan's confidant in the army, secretly recruited him as a dead soldier. Han Jiangchun found out that Pei Zan recruited 500 dead soldiers under the guise of suppressing bandits, selected the best of the best, and finally selected 100 elites, applied military law, lured wealth and nobility, and turned them into an excellent weapon for killing.
