This time, the transfer of power between the only heir of Liangzhou and the former envoy can be described as calm. Although there are no swords and swords on the surface, the wrestling between the various big surnames in the Thorn History Mansion in Guzang City is not at all as calm as it seems on the surface.

However, this situation is exactly what the new envoy Zhang Jun is most happy to see. At a time when the various noble clans were fighting openly and secretly for the new political structure in the newly formed state, several appointments came one after another, but everyone was stunned.

The generals who were originally in charge of the garrison of Guzang City were respectively from the Yin clan, the Suo clan, and the Song clan. At the end of June, a paper order was issued from the Assassin's Office, and the generals who had originally guarded Guzang were directly transferred to Dunhuang County, thousands of miles away, and transferred to Dunhuang, where they were governed, under the jurisdiction of Shi Libai, the governor of the Western Regions appointed by Liangzhou.

On the pretext of preparing for the Pingxi Regions, Zhang Zhijun not only transferred these generals from each family, but also levied a large amount of grain and grass military funds from each family, and escorted them to Dunhuang with an army of more than 3,000 people. In this premeditated transfer of personnel, financial resources and troops, Xin sang a double reed with Zhang Jun. Of the military funds escorted to Dunhuang, one-third were provided by the Xin family. However, after all these years of operation, Xin's own financial resources are no longer comparable to those in the past. For other families, these military funds are almost a year's income, but for the fledgling Xin, it is just a drop in the bucket.

The newly appointed generals of Guzang Shuwei were headed by Chen Zhen, and two Xin's sons, Xin Ming and Xin Qi, were appointed as Sima. Song Qing was also transferred to Guzang and took over as the governor of Qianren. Although he is called the Governor of a Thousand People, he actually commands 2,000 people, and he is majestic.

After the arrangement of the new envoy, the situation in Guzang City has become clearer and clearer. Although the Xin clan sat big and won a victory on the battlefield without gunpowder, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. In the current situation, it is to threaten Zhang Yuanjun's authority, but it is impossible for any high-ranking gate in the state to do it now.

Seeing Song Xiaoniang's car drive away, Li Yanzhi led his soldiers back to the city gate to continue to be on duty. Although the end door in front of him was quiet again, Li Yanzhi's ears kept echoing the words of Song Xiaoniang.

"Is all the intentions of the envoy really clear in the general's heart?"

Li Yanzhi began to repeatedly recall his impressions of Zhang Mao and Zhang Jun. Zhang Mao has always been a generous and generous image in Li Yanzhi's heart. However, he also knew in his heart that if he could sit in this position, how could he have a good match. Even from other people's mouths, Li Yanzhi has heard more than once that shows another side of Zhang Mao, such as the death of Jia Ji, a big surname in Liangzhou.

Speaking of this Jia G, he is also extremely unlucky. It's just because of a rootless and unfounded rumor circulating among the people, called "Hand Mo Tou, Tu Liangzhou." Zhang Mao felt uneasy day and night. He feared that the inheritance left by his father and brother would be destroyed in his hands, and he was terrified of this unfounded rumor. And under the domination of this emotion, Jia G was arrested and killed by Zhang Mao. The corpse was abandoned in the city for more than ten days. The crime is a baseless conspiracy in addition to this rumor.

As for Zhang Mao's nephew, the current envoy Zhang Jun, Li Yanzhi has no good impression of him. The first time I met was when this little Langjun was stealing chickens and dogs in Guzang City, wanting to do bad things to the women and women of the people's house, and he was caught by the carefully arranged Li Yanzhi. The heir of Liangzhou who saw it with his own eyes was this virtue, and in Li Yanzhi's heart, he sentenced the future of Liangzhou to death at that time. However, perhaps he was young and ignorant, but Zhang Jun, who is now weak, made Li Yanzhi see the hope of Liangzhou's future in these arrangements for inheriting the position of assassin.

However, the daughter of Song Qing, who he stopped before Duanmen today, reminded him with such words, which made him begin to feel that it was not a good motive to make Jun order him to guard Duanmen. Even for him, it wasn't a good thing.

Zhang Jun transferred five troops from other towns and counties to garrison Guzang Wumen. The other four are all at the Taishou level, and he alone is a county Sima. Speaking of a small county Sima, it is indeed difficult to convince everyone above the rank. However, one is that the envoy personally ordered Li Yanzhi to garrison Duanmen, and the other is that the Lingju County soldiers he brought, in addition to being well-equipped, also have the posture of a strong army in the spiritual outlook of the generals.

Although none of these can be regarded as Li Yanzhi's right to speak and political capital. However, this elite army is in hand, and now it has made those high-ranking officials of the Assassin Mansion in Guzang City, as well as the high-ranking men of the Shi clan, see the demeanor of the soldiers of Lingju County. When talking about him in the future, the impression that the county soldiers brought to everyone will preconceived the impression of him as the main general in the hearts of others.

As for the intention of the daughter of Song Pei, Li Yanzhi racked his brains, and what he thought of was nothing more than that Zhang Mao threw him into this more conspicuous position, so that he could calmly divert the sharp contradictions caused by these things of the noble clan's high-ranking families about the struggle for power and profit, and instead turned his attention to him. After all, the important position of Duanmen should also be guarded by the children of the scholar clan who are closer to the envoy's family.

Now that the envoy has sent him on duty, it is obviously a signal to the state sergeant clan: if they are not honest, in the future, in such a critical position, the envoy can find a trustworthy person to replace him at any time.

In this way, these so-called high-ranking families have to start thinking about the role that they will play in the political situation in the future and the family behind them. Now that Xin's has become bigger, it has obviously become an established fact. The Xin clan is also a die-hard supporter of the envoy, and thanks to the tangible benefits that Li Yanzhi's ideas and strategies have brought to the Xin clan, the Xin clan is obviously unlikely to take the initiative to embarrass him.

It's just that as the profit-winning party, the Xin family and the envoy don't care much about Li Yanzhi's life or death. Regarding this situation, Li Yanzhi himself is obviously powerless to change it. As Song Pei's daughter said, although he also figured it out, he himself lacked any good strategies to deal with this situation. In my heart, I had to secretly prepare myself to be the envoy to block the arrow.

After thinking about it for a long time, seeing that it was getting late, Li Yanzhi ordered a rotation. The soldiers stationed in the camp outside the city were transferred to the guards on duty above and below the city gates. After the battalion sergeants had eaten, they came to exchange with the guards on duty. Liu Jiwu also replaced Li Yanzhi, Li Yanzhi handed over the order flag to Liu Jiwu, took off his helmet, and walked towards the city gate step by step, but he was already physically and mentally exhausted.

Back in the camp, I hurriedly ate a few bites of hot food. Now temporarily performing official duties in Guzang, although tired, but fortunately, Jun was grateful for the hard work of these soldiers from other towns, so he also specially instructed the chief scribe of the Assassin's Mansion and others to be responsible for settling their food and other miscellaneous chores. The soldiers were under this Guzang city and enjoyed the big fish and meat for half a month.

On weekdays, only the heavily armored infantry in iron armor enjoyed the best food treatment. Therefore, on this side, they are also more indifferent to food. But they were guarded in heavy iron armor all day long, and everyone was tired. Li Yanzhi looked at the soldiers who hurriedly finished eating in the camp, took off their iron armor, and returned to the tent to rest, and the corners of his mouth were also filled with a slightly helpless wry smile.

Just as Li Yanzhi was washing the dishes, shaking the water, and walking towards his tent, he ran into the camp and got off his horse and ran straight towards him. Seeing the soldier's hurried appearance, he greeted him. The soldier led the horse and bowed his hand to Li Yanzhi: "Sima, the Assassin Mansion has just come to inform you, and early tomorrow morning, the local garrison of Guzang will take over the defense of the end gate." The chief bookkeeper and scribe of the Assassin's Mansion will come to the army. After that, we immediately opened and escorted a few nobles back to the county government......"

"Got it." Li Yanzhi nodded. He watched as the soldier turned and led his horse out of the camp before returning to his tent. Today's day on duty made him feel physically and mentally exhausted. It didn't take long to lie down and fall asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, when the rice drum sounded in the camp, Li Yanzhi turned over and sat up, and then quickly put on his clothes, put on his iron armor, and walked out of the camp tent quickly. Seeing that the generals were gathering the soldiers under his command to line up, he called a guard beside him and went to inform the generals of the various departments.

After receiving Li Yanzhi's order, the generals of the various departments quickly led the soldiers to the meal. After the meal, the soldiers gathered together again. They counted and inspected the official business in the camp, as well as their weapons, such as knives, guns, bows, and arrows, as well as their personal belongings. Except for the weapons and armor that each person wore or carried, the rest of the supplies were loaded into trucks ready to be transported.

It didn't take long for the soldiers who were on duty at Duanmen at night to return one after another with a tired face. Li Yanzhi understood that these soldiers were on duty overnight and were in a state of distress, so he asked Liu Jiwu to take them back to their tents to rest, while the rest of the soldiers continued to pack camp supplies and load trucks. It took about an hour and a half for all the supplies belonging to the county soldiers in the camp to be fully packed.

The main book of the Assassin's Mansion is called Xie Ai, and his appearance is white and pure, with a Sven face. It looks as big as Li Yanjiong. He took more than a dozen scribes and hundreds of soldiers to carry dry food for the Lingju county soldiers on the way back. The soldiers also received a large reward. Xie Ai also presented a piece of jade pendant given by the envoy to Li Yanzhi.

For this so-called hand-given valuables, Li Yanzhi has always been indifferent. It's just that the 100,000 dollars and hundreds of silk silks that were given together made him overjoyed. Although there is no shortage of goods in the county today, how can the goods needed to maintain an elite army be a small amount. In addition, Li Yanzhi successively selected and recruited spies to go to Longxi to build an intelligence network, and goods were indispensable.

"There is a labor master book to send it personally. Please take a moment for the master bookkeeper to take a break. Li Yanzhi also had a good impression of this respectful master, so he kept his words. Xie Ai bowed down and said, "Sima doesn't have to be polite. I was ordered to come to the labor army, and now I have conveyed my intentions, and when the mission is completed, I must return to the assassination mansion. Sima Zhong is brave and commendable, and hopes that he will be diligent in his office in the future and live up to the trust of the king. ”

"That's nature." Li Yanzhi said with a smile. Between the words, he took off the saber at his waist, offered it with both hands, and said to Xie Ai: "I am a cold warrior, and there is nothing around me to give away. This knife has been with me ever since I joined the army. Kill countless enemies. Please accept it from the master bookkeeper and give it as a thank you gift. ”

Seeing that Li Yanzhi was so solemn, Xie Ai was also a little at a loss, and hurriedly shirked it: "This is Sima's old thing, how can Xie snatch love with a knife...... It's not proper, it's not proper, and I ask Sima to take back ......"

Li Yanzhi didn't say anything more, but kept holding the knife with both hands, but Xie Ai was really at a loss. Seeing Li Yanzhi's resolute attitude, Xie Ai only took the knife with both hands and said, "Since Sima is sincere, Xie is ashamed to accept Sima's gift." ”

Looking at the back of Master Xie and his entourage gradually walking away, Li Yanzhi turned his head and said to Tao Heng beside him: "The whole team gathers and prepares to start." ”

At the sound of the order, the neatly lined foot soldiers got up one after another under the leadership of the generals and lined up in several phalanxes of three people. The soldiers who escorted the heavy grain, grass and all kinds of materials were nervously holding the ropes to tie up the baggage and materials carried on the cart. According to military law, if supplies are dropped during the march, the soldiers are escorted to the hands. Now it is even outside the state city, if this kind of thing happens, it will hit the face of the entire Lingju County soldiers. Therefore, no one dares to touch this moldy head and send himself to death.

More than 100 soldiers of the vanguard team have unloaded their armor and loaded into the truck. At this time, most of them were dressed in light leather armor and were busy tearing down the walls of the camp. The logs were neatly stacked on top of the open space in the camp. Li Yanzhi had also sent someone to inform the defenders of the city gate who had taken over the defense, and handed over the timber used to build the camp wall and various camp facilities to them for disposal. However, when the cavalry returned, the end door, which had not been opened for a month, creaked open.

The horseman who had returned from the city heard the creak of the city gate opening, and hurriedly rode his horse to the side. Immediately in the cave of the city gate, a convoy of many noble cars appeared. When the first horse rode out slowly, he drove ahead of the group of nobles and drove straight to the place where the soldiers of Lingju County were resting.

Li Yanzhi was standing on the side of the heavily arrayed county soldiers, boredly throwing a small pebble in his hand. Not much attention was paid to the situation near the city gate at all. It wasn't until he saw Cui Yang, who was the leader of the team on the side, squeezing his eyebrows at him, that Li Yanzhi realized that something was wrong, and then turned his head to look, but saw Su Xiaoniang riding a horse and coming.

Li Yanzhi stood in place, and the stone he was playing with just now fell to the ground unconsciously. Cui Yang behind him was imitating a vivid birdsong at an inopportune time, which couldn't help but make Li Yanzhi extremely angry. He no longer cared about anything else, bent down to pick up the small pebble from the ground, and turned around and threw it at Cui Yang. Seeing this, Cui Yang hurriedly dodged, which led to Liu Jiwu, who was at the head of the team, for a while.

Su Wanyun rode his horse and stopped dozens of steps away from the camp, and then looked at Li Yanzhi with a smile. Liu Jiwu felt as if the air around him had frozen. But looking at the expressions of the two, they already understood. He turned away, pretending not to notice. But Li Yanzhi cleared his throat, pretended to raise the order flag and shouted: "Open up!" ”
