Chapter 6 The Fierce General Fights the Cult

Section 12 Good news after deliberation

At the beginning of July in the forty-seventh year of Wanli (the fourth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven), outside the east gate of Yuncheng County.

At noon, the hot sun hung in the sky, constantly exuding its own heat, baking the earth unusually dry. At this time, Liu Yunwei was standing next to the official road with Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Zhao Kaishan, Li Tianhao, Wang Gandang, Wen Poyu, and Gao Hongguang wearing helmets and armor, and a hundred soldiers of the Longxiang Department stood behind them like green pines.

On this day, Zhang Yuxing, the commander of Ren Chengwei, was about to rush to Yuncheng County, and after Liu Yunwei received the news, he immediately led several of his subordinates to the east gate to prepare to greet them, and everyone waited from morning to noon.

At this time, Zhao Kaishan's face was already flushed, and he was already impatient to wait, seeing that the official road was still empty, and there was not even a shadow of Zhang Yuxing, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Big brother, how long do we have to wait?" This Master Zhang is also too good at posing music, I think he is careful! ”

Liu Yunwei was also sweating profusely at this time, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said: "That Lord Zhang is the commander of the city guard, which is higher than our official position, of course, we have to fiddle with the official authority in front of us, we have to ask him next, just bear with it first." ”

Zhao Kaishan nodded, and then he was silent. But Lu Ying said: "Big brother, I think that Lord Zhang has a request for us, after all, we have the battle exploits to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect in our hands, we don't need to put our posture so low, right?" ”

Liu Yunwei shook his head and said, "First, Lord Zhang's official position is bigger than ours, and it is normal for us to have a lower posture; Second, if we want to dig out the forces behind the Smelling Fragrance Sect, we still need to rely on the power of the adult, and at least we need the information he knows, so it's better to coax him a little; As for the merits, this battle was fought on the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, how can I say that Mr. Zhang can also share some profits, we can't control him, at most we just do some official articles on the good news. ”

"However, the eldest brother is so sure that Lord Zhang is not the hidden force behind the Smelling Fragrance Sect?" After Lu Ying finished speaking, the rest of the people also looked at Liu Yunwei with a worried face.

Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "Haha, of course I can be sure." If you think about it carefully, Lord Zhang is the commander of the city guard, and the entire Yanzhou Mansion guards are under his control, if he is the mastermind behind the scenes, this uprising of the Wenxiang Sect will not be on such a scale, I am afraid that the whole of Shandong has become a pot of porridge. ”

After everyone listened, they all understood: If it was really Zhang Yuxing who secretly funded the Wenxiang Sect, Xu Hongru's power would definitely be much stronger than now, at least Xu Hongru would not rely on goods like the Horse Mountain Cottage to engage with the Hanwei Battalion before the war.

"But there's one thing I still haven't figured out." Liu Yunwei frowned and said: "Now that the Wenxiang Sect has been completely wiped out by us, Xu Hongru has died, and Wang Haoxian has become our prisoner; However, why did the force hidden behind the Smelling Fragrance Sect not react all this time? Could it be that this incident of the Wenxiang Sect was originally unexpected by that force, so it hasn't reacted yet? Or is that force just empty of financial resources and no corresponding force? ”

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yunwei still couldn't think of a reason, so he simply stopped dwelling on it, and maybe when Zhang Yuxing arrived, he would be able to ask what he could ask him about.

After about a stick of incense, bursts of dust began to appear on the official road, and after a while, Liu Yunwei and others heard the sound of drums. Everyone looked from afar, and saw a group of hundreds of honor guards slowly approaching, a carved carriage in the middle of the procession, and dozens of family members with helmets and armor guarding it.

"Here, let's go up and greet us." After Liu Yunwei finished speaking, he led everyone to step forward.

When Liu Yunwei and the others came closer, Zhang Yuxing's mighty guard of honor also stopped. At this time, a family member flew off the horse and knelt next to the carved carriage, Zhang Yuxing poked his head out of the car, looked at the surrounding situation, and stepped directly on the back of the family and got out of the carriage.

"Haha, Mr. Liu Qian! I have heard of the name for a long time, and the name of the unicorn tiger is resounding in the sky in this Qilu land! Zhang Yuxing saw Liu Yunwei who had dismounted at a glance, and stepped forward to say hello with a big smile.

Liu Yunwei also smiled, stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Liu Yunwei, the commander of the Hanwei Battalion, visited the commander. ”

Zhang Yuxing laughed and shook Liu Yunwei's hand, and said: "Mr. Liu Qian doesn't have to be formal, come, let's go into the city quickly, I heard on the way that Mr. Liu Qian has completely exterminated the Wenxiang Sect?" I can't wait to hear what happened. ”

Liu Yunwei did not shirk, and led Zhang Yuxing's guard of honor into the city. At this time, Hao Wenyu had already prepared a sumptuous banquet in the county office, and everyone went straight to the county government to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhang Yuxing. After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhang Yuxing proposed to go to the school to take a look at the soldiers of the Hanwei Battalion; Liu Yunwei smiled, knowing what Zhang Yuxing meant, so he agreed.

Along the way, Zhang Yuxing kept asking about the process of exterminating the Wenxiang Sect, and after learning the news that Wang Haoxian was captured and Xu Hongru was killed, Zhang Yuxing suddenly let out a long breath and said: "Mr. Liu Qian, you are a great harm to the elders of Shandong."

Liu Yunwei just smiled and said politely.

It didn't take long for Liu Yunwei to take Zhang Yuxing to the school field in the city. Zhang Yuxing just briefly glanced at the soldiers in the battalion, said a few words of praise, and then said to Liu Yunwei: "The Hanwei battalion under the command of President Liu Qian is really the division of tigers and wolves, no wonder it can exterminate the Wenxiang Sect that has been a disaster in Shandong for many years." ”

"Haha, where, where, the commander made the master praise too much."

Zhang Yuxing paused, and then said, "Mr. Liu Qian, can you take a step to speak?" I want to ask Mr. Liu Qian carefully about the war. ”

"Haha, don't you dare to ask for advice, if the commander wants to ask, there is naturally no problem." Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Your Excellency, please come with me." ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei took Zhang Yuxing to his room, and retreated, leaving only Zhang Yuxing and himself in the room.

Liu Yunwei said: "If the commander wants to ask anything, the subordinate must know everything and say everything. ”

"Haha, good! Readily. Zhang Yuxing laughed and said: "This commander likes a bold person like Liu Qianzong. I'm also a happy person, so I won't beat around the bush, let's get straight to the point. I am here today just to discuss with President Liu Qian how to write the good news reported to the imperial court after this great victory. I don't know if Liu Qian always has a belly case? ”

Liu Yunwei smiled faintly and said, "I don't know what the commander means?" ”

Zhang Yuxing took a sip of tea and said: "After all, this war to exterminate the Wenxiang Sect was fought in the territory of Yanzhou Mansion, so this commander wants to ask President Liu Qian for the credit of a temporary command, I don't know if President Liu Qian is willing?" However, Mr. Liu Qian can rest assured, I am a very affectionate person, if Mr. Liu Qian is a friend enough, I will definitely not let Mr. Liu Qian suffer, Mr. Liu Qian has any requirements. ”

Liu Yunwei was still smiling and looking at Zhang Yuxing, who was talking about the money in front of him, but he was already extremely angry in his heart: "A dignified commander is openly asking for military merits here, as if he is a trader talking about business, he doesn't feel ashamed at all, he is simply scum!" If all the generals in the world are like this, then the country is in danger!"

But Liu Yunwei thought about it again, some follow-up things still need the cooperation of this Zhang Yuxing, didn't he also want to use his military exploits as bait to get intelligence and benefits from Zhang Yuxing? So, Liu Yunwei forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, took out a good news that he had drafted last night and handed it to Zhang Yuxing, and said: "The commander envoy please take a look, this is the good news written by the lower officials, I don't know if it is in line with the wishes of the adults." ”

Zhang Yuxing was overjoyed when he saw this, and while taking the good news and opening it, he said: "Haha, Mr. Liu Qian is really a young hero, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yuxing looked at it carefully, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "Mr. Liu Qian, your good news is written with outstanding literary talent, but how did you write this commander as a meritorious work?" If you write like this, isn't it a little ......" Zhang Yuxing didn't say any more, just looked at Liu Yunwei with a smile.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Lord Commander, I think this battle is best a sudden and unwarning cult rebellion, which happened to be met by the soldiers of my Hanwei battalion on the way, and after a long fierce battle with it, Commander Zhang personally led reinforcements hundreds of miles to help, and joined forces with our troops to completely wipe out the Wenxiang Sect rebels. Lord Zhang, you must know that only in this way is the most appropriate to report to the imperial court; Otherwise, the imperial court would think that Lord Zhang had not taken action when he knew about the Wenxiang Sect in advance, which eventually led to the rebellion of the cult army, what is this called? This is called raising a thief with self-respect! You must know that the imperial historian in the capital is very interested in this matter. ”

Zhang Yuxing was first shocked when he heard this, then angry, and then fell into deep thought. After a while, Zhang Yuxing laughed and said, "Haha, Mr. Liu Qian is really smart!" Okay, just report to the court according to Liu Qian's intentions. After speaking, Zhang Yuxing was about to get up and say goodbye, wanting to quickly take his subordinates to verify the head and take care of the relevant heads, in case the military department sent someone to verify the war exploits.

Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "Hehe, the commander, please be calm and don't be impatient, wait a minute." The commander has finished discussing the affairs of the adults, but we haven't talked about the affairs of the subordinates yet? The commander is in such a hurry to leave! ”
