Zhu Yongji heard this, and then understood, couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, turned around and got out of the carriage first, and when Zhao Ting came out with the gift box, the two entered the side courtyard one after the other. Zhao Ting handed the gift box to the gatekeeper and asked him to go in and report.

After waiting for about a moment, the general returned, and led the two into a side hall to sit down.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a tall middle-aged man helped an old man to walk in slowly. The old man was about fifty years old, wearing a black saro head, his face was sickly yellow, and his mental state seemed to be very bad, he was dressed in a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, a goldfish bag hanging on his side, and black leather boots, his gait seemed to be staggering and weak, completely supported by the middle-aged man on his side.

The middle-aged man, about thirty-five or sixteen years old, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fair complexion, but he had black curly hair with burnt yellow, and although he wore a bun and a saro head, he could still see the yellow curls at his sideburns. Two young and pretty maidservants with trays followed behind with brisk little steps.

This Li Quanzhong, a native of Fanyang, Youzhou, is familiar with "Spring and Autumn", and is a good student of Guiguzi, and his experience is a bit of a story.

In the last years of Qianfu, he was Sima of Dizhou, and one day he suddenly saw a reed grass with three knots growing in the house where he lived, and he felt strange, so he called the erudite Dizhou Don't drive Zhang Jianzhang, and asked him: "My room is a reed, is it strange?" ”

Zhang Jianzhang said to him: "In the past, Puhong took the nine sections of Pusheng in the pond as Rui, and his surname was Pu, and his descendants were prosperous. The reeds are also, born in the room, and born in the room, it is not usual, and the queen will have the value of the grass. Three sections, three people of the festival, public will. ”

Li Keju, the future of Quanzhong, is the Rong school, and the generals can be lifted and set up Quanzhong, and they are accumulated to the inspection of the school Taiwei, and Linrong is very authoritative. Quan Zhong died, and his son Converse was chased by the three armies. Brother Kuang Yu, went to Que, went to Cangzhou Jingcheng, and was victimized by Lu Yansheng.

Of course, this is an anecdote from wild history, which can be referred to "Northern Dream Trivia" and "Tang Legend". Since it is a wild history, then, in fact, there may not be such a miraculous thing, it is more like Li Quanzhong found an excuse for himself to obey the fate after becoming a marshal.

Zhu Yongji looked at the grade represented by the official uniform and knew that this was Li Quanzhong. couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Ting, and when he saw him nodding, he got up to greet him.

"Jizhou Thorn Shi Zhao Ting has seen the festival handsome! I've seen Yanai! I don't know that the festival commander has been in good health recently, so he came here to bring some old ginseng from Liaodong, hoping that the festival commander is in good health! Zhao Ting stepped forward and bowed.

Ministers are a general title, when the lower officials see the upper officials, they can call themselves ministers, they can also call themselves so, and they can also be humble and servant. Those who are in low positions also call themselves lowly and inferior. Zhao Ting's Jizhou is a medium-sized state, and the rank is under the fourth grade, so of course the position is not low.

Zhu Yongji didn't know the two, so he had to follow the salute, and he knew that Zhao Ting called the middle-aged man Yanei, this is Li Quanzhong's eldest son, Li Congwei, who is called the "Golden Head King" by the Youzhou Army.

"It's okay...... can still hold on, it's always inevitable to get older, you don't have to be polite, sit down! Li Congwei helped Li Quanzhong to sit down a few times after the head was lower, and sat on one side to accompany him.

The maidservant stepped forward and served tea to the four of them, and then withdrew.

Li Quanzhong coughed lightly and said slowly: "The Zhuang Yi you told me yesterday, I have already been checked, and I have indeed served as the head of the tooth army under Li Keju. A team is right, and a certain person is not embarrassed by him, but why did he go to the grassland in the north of the mountain? ”

Zhao Ting replied: "The minister doesn't know much about this person's past, this is Mr. Zhu Limin of Bozhou, he once assisted Zhuang Yi in the tent of King Xi, and the marshal can ask him if he is very unclear." ”

"Oh...... Bozhou people! Li Quanzhong said lightly and turned his head to look at Zhu Yongji.

"Exactly! A certain also went to the Bohai Sea to study, and then followed the Bohai envoy to the Xi King's tooth tent, so he got acquainted with the Lulong envoy Zhuang Zhongzheng, who helped the Xi King Tules to train his troops and repelled the Khitan Khan who invaded the south. Yaolin Qinde was hit by this blow and was unable to expand in a short period of time, which actually solved a major border trouble for Youzhou. Zhuang Zhongzheng then borrowed 3,000 troops from King Xi to go east, presumably at this time he had expelled the Bohai people and recovered Yingzhou. It is really a great good deed for the marshal to use people properly, repel the Khitan, and recover Yingzhou. Zhu Yongji hurriedly got up and saluted.

He was an upright man, and when he said such a slightly flattering remark, he suddenly felt extremely awkward, and he breathed a long sigh of relief after speaking.

"Huh! What a credit! Li Quanzhong chuckled lightly and teased: "A small tooth soldier is in the army, it has only been less than a year, so do you want to rise several steps in a row and rise to the top?" I hope he doesn't make trouble in Liaodong! Otherwise......"

"This ...... It's just that the old camp state is a place, and if it is properly managed, it will not cause hostility to the Bohai State. As long as it is properly managed, although Yingzhou is barren and bitterly cold, it is connected with the Zhuhu in Shanbei, and you can get the raw hides of war horses, which is also a source of wealth. When Zhu Yongji heard Li Quanzhong say this, he knew that the matter was almost over, and hurriedly put forward conditions.

"War horses and hides are really important to my Youzhou, three hundred war horses a year, three thousand hides. After Yingzhou is stabilized, a state can be established, and Youzhou will send people to take office, which shouldn't be a problem, right? Li Quanzhong nodded, and agreed.

"This ...... As long as Yingzhou can be stabilized, it is possible, but at present, I am afraid that there are some difficulties, Yingzhou is sparsely populated, grain needs to be transported from the Guannei, I am afraid that 3,000 soldiers will not be able to raise it, and it will take at least three years before it can be stabilized, and it is also possible to send people to take up posts. Zhu Yongji said with an embarrassed face.

"Hmm...... What you said is also true, so let's talk about it in three years. At present, if you have the raw hides of war horses on hand, you can send them and pay for food and groceries at the price. Li Quanzhong replied vaguely, but avoided talking about what the price was.

"So...... A certain generation of Zhuang Zhongzheng thanked the handsome for taking care of him, and he will come to thank the handsome for his cultivation in the spring of next year! Of course, Zhu Yongji heard the meaning of Li Quanzhong's words, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to thank him.

"Yingzhou has been abandoned for a long time, and now it is indeed a good thing to take it back, and a certain association will then send someone to preach comfort."

"Thank you so much! Don't dare to delay the handsome's business, Zhu retired! ”

Zhu Yongji saluted and thanked him, said goodbye, shrunk his hand to cover his sleeve, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and exhaled a long breath, feeling a lot more relaxed.

After waiting for a cup of tea, Zhao Ting came out. The two of them went all the way out of the Jiedu Mansion and got into the carriage, Zhao Ting lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said, "That hun boy wants to occupy Yingzhou alone, right?" ”

Zhu Yongji was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If no one else intervenes, of course it is the best!" Of course, the matter of trade in goods can be appropriately conceded some, this is not clear, and Zhuangzhong is properly prepared. ”

"Hmm...... This is about the same, Lu Longjun will participate in the trade of war horse skins in Liaodong, so let that muddy boy be careful. I just talked to the marshal about stationing some troops, and he agreed that Youzhou would not send any other troops and horses, and that the Yingzhou Assassin would not be appointed for the time being, but in the event of a war, the Yingzhou soldiers would need to be dispatched. ”

"This is the proper meaning, and a certain self-association will explain this matter to Zhongzheng." Zhu Yongji smiled.

Zhao Ting's lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. The two were silent for a moment, and then chatted about the situation in the Central Plains and the affairs of the Chang'an court.
