After Du Jia and they left Tangshan County, they found a barren hill to settle the people and horses first, so that everyone could bury the pot and make rice, and the good vegetables and meat were eaten without their belly, but they were not allowed to drink.

It didn't take long for Liu Tang and Shi Jin's people to come, and the two sides were naturally very happy to meet, so Du Jia gathered all the leaders to discuss the next move.

It is said that everyone discussed, in fact, Du Jia and Wu used two people to discuss, others are just listening, through this initial victory, everyone can see, to say that there are not a few people who are stronger than these two people, but they can't catch up with them, and they easily took a county seat, and there were basically no casualties, which they didn't dare to imagine before, and let Du Wu and the two do a good job of using their brains, they just need to do it according to their orders.

After a little discussion, Du Jia and Wu Yong unanimously decided to write some headless letters about their beating of Tangshan County and capturing Zhao Yuan's father and daughter alive and send them to Na Yanping Mansion, so that the prefect would not dare to act rashly, and at the same time, they would sneak into the city to see Na Pei Xuan to see if there was a way to win him over, at least they could help a little.

But there was a disagreement between the two of them about the latter matter, Wu Yong's meaning was brought up by him, so naturally he went in person, and Du Jia planned to go with him.

Hearing Du Jia's words, Wu Yong's face did not move, but he was quite embarrassed in his heart, he said before that he knew Pei Xuan, but in fact, it was just a statement that he was raising his own value, and the other party was the Confucius of the six cases in a state, even if he was demoted now, he was an important official of the government, how could he be a country show?

Speaking of this, I have to mention the civil system at this time, as we all know, the status of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially civil officials, is the highest in thousands of years, not only good treatment but also very little risk, basically as long as there is no rebellion or serious dereliction of duty, they will not be killed, so it also leads to their number is also the largest in all dynasties.

The first is the so-called friendship between teachers and students, the teacher here may not be the gentleman who really teaches you knowledge, but a senior and prestigious official in the court, for example, if the candidate is on the list, you must shout the teacher when you see the examiner, and you will naturally become his student, and the person who is on the list is a cordial brother, and everyone will definitely help each other in the future, take care of each other, and advance and retreat together.

The second is the friendship of fellow villagers, our country has always attached importance to the feelings of fellow villagers, and the literati are no exception, as long as they hear that they are from a place, or have participated in a local book club and poetry club or a certain society, they are naturally close to a lot, and this situation has always existed even in later generations, such as the famous Hunan army, Sichuan army, Jin Suijun, etc., the main leaders are from a province or even a township.

There is also a third kind of surname, at that time, people who spoke of a surname were 'five hundred years ago was a family', and the relationship would be very different, especially some unpopular surnames, such as the Linghu Lord of an official residence prime minister in the previous dynasty, because his surname was too little, so he vigorously promoted people with the same surname, resulting in many people with the surname Hu also lied that their surname was Linghu, and someone once wrote a poem 'After the reign of Linghu Pavilion, all Hu in the world brought orders' to ridicule this phenomenon, which shows that this relationship is also extremely common.

It is through these three huge networks that there are all kinds of intricate relationships between hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats across the country, take Wu Yong as an example, his so-called 'acquaintance' with Pei Xuan is actually just one of his classmates who served as a writer in Cangping Mansion and happened to worship the same teacher as Pei Xuan, and then by the way, they also had a one-sided acquaintance, I am afraid that even if he stands in front of Pei Xuan, people will not recognize him now.

Wu Yong originally thought that he would go to Pei Xuan, so that he could meet him, and then with his ability to observe words and emotions and his three-inch tongue, he was so moved to say it, but if Du Jia went with him, it would be troublesome, wouldn't it be a shame if he was stopped back by Pei Xuan's guard? It seems that he is talking big.

Du Jia seemed to see Wu Yong's thoughts, smiled slightly and said softly: "Mr. doesn't need to worry, this talent is often not accepted by the world, even Zhuge Kongming has Wollongong when he is idle, Mr. is now white is just no suitable opportunity, even if he worships the prime minister in the future, it is not surprising, we go to see that Pei Xuan even if he eats some white eyes, it is not a big deal, I think this Pei Kongmu is an important person, so I am cheeky and go with Mr., I hope to forgive me." ”

Wu Yongyan was grateful and excited when he heard this, and he felt like a confidant, so he agreed, the two of them had a full meal, brought some scattered silver, and rushed to Yanping Mansion with Shi Jin, Bai Sheng brought some people to follow behind to find out the news, as for Jiao Ting, Liu Tang and others because of their fierce faces and special figures, they only had bad things to do, so they could only stay.

After everyone rode to the Yanping Mansion twenty miles away, Du Jia and a few of them handed over the horses to Bai Sheng and others who were traveling with them, and then Du Jia pretended to be a rich showman, Wu Yong pretended to be his housekeeper, and Shi Jin was Chang Sui, and the three of them Shi Shiran walked to Yanping Mansion, although Yanping Mansion at this time had been under martial law in accordance with the requirements of Zhao Zhifu and Wei Jizhong, but the main thing to guard against was the Liangshan military horses of the brigade, and seeing that Du Jia was just a scholar, they just routinely checked it and let it go, They didn't know that the white-faced scholar who went in was the lord of Liangshan, whom their prefect regarded as a great enemy.

After entering the city, the three of them first pretended to wander around, but in fact they were observing the enemy's situation, and Du Jia found that the patrols here were unusually frequent, full of heavily armed soldiers, and the defenses of the city's vital points were reinforced, and they were obviously ready for battle.

After looking at it for a while, they quietly found a shop to live in, and now the person they arranged should have delivered the headless letter to the prefect of Zhao, it depends on how he copes, if he can secretly exchange hostages according to Du Jia's request - of course, this possibility is very small, then it is the best; If he doesn't eat oil and salt at all, and completely cares about the life and death of his wife and father-in-law, then it will be impossible to say that the two sides have no choice but to meet each other.

And after Du Jia and Wu Yong's analysis, the biggest possibility is that this Zhao Governor is very inward, but he is quietly on the surface but secretly contacts and talks about conditions, so in this case, it is the best way to meet Pei Xuan and find a way to break down the enemy from the inside, which is why they are here.
