Geng Ruqi got out of the sedan chair, entered his house, and when he arrived at the study, the look of not being angry and arrogant on his face changed, and instead of it, his face was full of resentment and a deep sense of powerlessness.

Since he is the governor, he naturally has to grasp the strength and deployment of the guards in each town under his subordinates, but he mentioned it several times that he wanted to go around and take a look, but his subordinates blocked him back under various excuses.

This time was no exception, and the faces of those officials and soldiers, although they were flattering, all asked him, the governor, to return to his house and rest on the grounds that the sky was cloudy and snowy, and it was not conducive to travel.

Together with the two guards of Yang and Gaoshan in a city, as well as the barracks of the deputy chief soldier of Datong, Geng Ruqi has never entered, every time he comes to the door, these people always have a reason, not only are their own people not in the barracks, but even the soldiers have been taken out by them.

It's hateful, if Zhang Honggong is here, where can he be so passive, as the chief soldier of Datong, Zhang Honggong's station is naturally in Datong, but there is a deputy chief soldier who is a demon under Geng Ruqi's eyelids.

When he was sulking alone for a while, bored, and worried about how to pass the time, Geng Ruqi's eyes swept to the desk, and he accidentally found an extra letter.

When I picked it up, it was written to him by He Wenrui, and I wanted to ask someone when the letter was delivered, but seeing that the fire paint seal was intact and no one had opened it, it should have been sent not long ago, so I just left.

Opened the letter and read it from beginning to end, but Geng Ruqi was overjoyed, he was really sleepy and touched the pillow, He Wenrui, a student, really didn't receive it in vain, he could actually think about what he thought, what he was anxious about, how to break his current predicament, He Wenrui made a bold plan in the letter.

Although it is a bit too radical, it is a one-and-done method, and the letter also said that in order to cooperate with the plan, the Zhuolu Trading Company has begun to dispatch manpower, as long as the teacher gives an order, it will be fully launched.

He Wenrui and Zhuolu Trading Company's good ideas, Geng Ruqi didn't care, the matter is big, and when he makes up his mind to do it, he will definitely be in a bit of a hurry, if he doesn't prepare in advance, he will inevitably be in a hurry at that time, which is also a good heart of his students and Zhuolu Trading Company.

Do you want to do it or not? This question didn't hover in Geng Ruqi's heart for long, and soon he made up his mind and did it!

Instead of being a puppet like this all day long, it is better to make a big deal and really be the governor who monopolizes power, as for what He Wenrui is worried about, the officialdom shock in northern Jin that may be caused by this, as well as the battles in the court, there is no need to worry too much, you can bear it.

He Wenrui was an official at the beginning, but he was still younger, and he didn't understand that most of the officials were grass on the wall, and once the backer fell, they would become dogs without owners, so they would naturally obediently hold their tails and dare not make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Geng Ruqi was unwilling to delay at all, sharpened the ink and laid the paper by himself, and began to reply to He Wenrui.

Geng Ruqi's thoughts, in the end, were still expected by He Wenrui, as a student, these years have been very close, he knows that his teacher's temperament, although he is a literati, but he also has the courage of a military general, he would rather bend than bend, and he will never be able to endure the current puppet situation.

Of course, He Wenrui said that the whole plan was set by himself, which could not only make a good impression in front of Geng Ruqi, but also avoid the dissatisfaction of the governor with the unauthorized actions of Zhuolu Trading Company, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Geng Ruqi's first letter was written quickly, in fact, there was not much to say, it was nothing more than agreeing with He Wenrui's plan, and he himself would fully cooperate according to what the letter said.

The only thing that needs to be concerned is to find a way to send the letter out as soon as possible, so as not to delay the opportunity, but between Geng Ruqi and He Wenrui, there is already a special channel for sending letters, so there is no need to worry too much about this.

Geng Ruqi then wrote the second letter, which was addressed to Zhang Honggong, the general soldier of Datong, and with the half-hearted manpower of the governor Yamen, he might not be able to suppress these generals in northern Jinbei, and he still needed this old partner to come forward and take the soldiers on a trip.

......

"Lao Zou, you are a landlord in Zhangjiakou, and when you get there, you have to let you get back blood." Zhang Xianzhong's loud voice was still loud and unusually loud in the howling wind and snow.

"Look at your little bit of talent, rest assured, you are indispensable for delicious food and drink." Zou Qun's tone was very disdainful, "However, we have to talk about it after we finish our business." ”

"That's nature." Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, and other mercenary leaders all nodded in approval, and they braved the wind and snow to rush to Zhangjiakou, trying to become the top ten mercenary groups, if it was just a few meals of wine and meat, it would be better to stay in Dalintai.

"Boss!" There are horses in front of them coming against the wind and snow, it is Hao Qing, as a striker, he is responsible for exploring the way, Zou Qun is still very good at leading the army, even if he goes back to Zhangjiakou, it is estimated that there will be nothing, but in the back of the striker, he still meticulously arranged people to do it.

"There is still half a day to go, and we will arrive at Zhangjiakou." After speaking, Hao Qing spit out the broken snow in his mouth, "Special mother, bad luck, if it weren't for this snow, we would have arrived early." ”

Zou Qun nodded to indicate that he knew, and was about to ask Hao Qing to retreat, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him.

"Boss!" It was Luo Da's voice, he was calmer than Hao Qing, and Zou Qun had always asked him to be the rear team to protect the safety of the whole army.

"Something?" Zou Qun was a little surprised, if there was nothing wrong, Luo Da would not come to him.

"There was the sound of horses' hooves coming straight for us from behind." Roda reports.

"Enemies?" Zhang Xianzhong asked, there was no fear in his eyes, they had more than 20 mercenary groups, thousands of people, none of them were good, but they were not afraid at all.

"Not really." Luo Da shook his head and said, "Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there are no more than ten people at most." ”

"Cut!" Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully, "Look at you nervous, such a little person, it's not enough to stuff our teeth, it's worth it for you to report it?" If you want to, you can just destroy them, and if you don't bother to do it, just let them go. ”

Zhang Xianzhong's words showed the rules of the mercenaries on the grassland, if they meet a small team, they can fight and rob if they can, and if they encounter a large team, they should try to avoid it, so as not to be beaten by the other party.

Dalintai Khan is such a code of conduct outside the court, Zhuolu Trading Company can't manage it at all, and it can't manage it, at first some small mercenary groups were wiped out, and it was not without incidents of the wool being robbed.

These acts are somewhat similar to those of the maritime merchants at sea today, who are merchants who carry their own goods, and when they meet the weak, they put up the skull flag and become pirates.

After the survival of the fittest, the remaining mercenary groups can help each other, and even if a balance is reached, there are many fewer such incidents.
