PS: The show has just begun

The next day, Yang Fan got up early in the morning and drank morning tea before returning to the inn.

"Childe, a master has been waiting for you for a long time." As soon as Yang Fan stepped into the inn, Xiao Er greeted him, raised the opposite side with the tip of his eyebrows, and said, "It's in that carriage." The old man was also very stubborn, and the little one let him rest in it, but he would rather not. The boy looked around, and there was indeed a carriage in the corner.

"Alright, you can go down." Yang Fan glanced at the somewhat dilapidated carriage and was a little puzzled, could it be Qin Gui? It was so mysterious, and then he walked over. The carriage stopped in the corner, and in the shadows the horses played with their hooves in boredom, shuddering from time to time and making a "whoosh" sound. The horses were a little emaciated, and at first glance the owner's family was a little poor, and the horses pulling the cart were so emaciated that they must not have been fed with good forage.

The man in the carriage seemed to hear the footsteps and said, "Come in and speak." Yang Fan glanced inside, a little confused. This middle-aged man has a heroic look between his eyebrows, a pinch of black Ran on his chin, and a green shirt, which looks very refined.

"This brother, do we know each other?" Yang Fan really hadn't seen this middle-aged man, so he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

The man extended Yang Fan to the carriage, made tea on the small case, smiled, and said, "Dean Yang is really a noble person who forgets things, and he only sent the letterhead to Zaixiafu yesterday, did he forget?" ”

Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Lord Lu is mysterious, strangely nervous. Why don't you go to the inn, or you send someone to say it, and visit the door in the next place. ”

It really made Dean Yang laugh. He was about to return to Beijing, and he was afraid of causing trouble to Dean Yang, so he came over without saying hello. Thank me. ”

Yang Fan arched his hand and smiled: "Where is Governor Lu, it is an honor for you to take the time to come, where is there any trouble." He wrote in the letter that it was mostly trivial and gossipy, but Lu Xiangsheng was very confused, so he rushed over in such a hurry. Because Lu Xiangsheng felt that Yang Fan would not be so untargeted, there must be something.

"I wonder if Cheng'er has caused you trouble?"

"Lu Cheng, this kid has a lot of personality. Governor Lu is willing to entrust his beloved son to Buqi Academy, thank you for your love. ”

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said: "Zai Xia is not the kind of person who loves vanity, but it was only after hearing about Dean Yang's teaching methods that he decided to let Cheng'er go to Jinling to study." He is also about to return to Beijing to report on his work. This time, I just asked Dean Yang what you have to do when you come to Huguang this time? ”

"Governor Lu is going to return to Beijing to report on his work?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "En." A few days ago, the will of the capital came, let me return to Beijing in the next day. I was going to leave today. So I came here before leaving. ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "Then I wish Governor Lu a high promotion first." I came here this time, there was nothing else, I don't know if Governor Lu had ever asked about the bandits and bandits in Huguang and those rogue robbers in Zhao'an? ”

"It turns out that Dean Yang is asking about this. That's exactly what the headache is. Most of the reasons for the chaos in the territory are these mountain rogues who have been subject to Zhao'an. Kill and can't kill, it's really tricky to treat everyone who pretends to be better than good people. I don't know what kind of trick Dean Yang has? Lu Xiangsheng thought that since Yang Fan proposed it, there must be a way.

Yang Fan said: "Actually, it's not a good move. Now there are rebellions everywhere, there are Jiannu outside, and the troubled times are in charge. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. Therefore, he intended to set up a defensive line of the alliance army in Huguang and Sichuan and Shu to cooperate with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to resist the traitors in the northwest and Henan. These Zhao'an, but the bandits who occupy the mountain as the king, are the main force of the joint defense army that is being prepared to be formed this time, so I want to ask Governor Lu to be a matchmaker. ”

"Huh. Dean Yang, this 'matchmaker' Lu can't afford it. Do you know how slippery these wanderers are in the mountains and forests? said that it was edicted by the imperial court, probably for that money and a talisman. Now that the rebellion in Henan has continued, it is encountering an eventful autumn, and if it can be Zhao'an, it will be Zhao'an. lest they run from place to place and become tired of fighting. The same is true of these rogues who have been edicted, one of them does not pay attention, and then comes down to make trouble. It's really annoying that the ban has not stopped. ”

"So it is even more necessary for Governor Lu to be this intermediary, and he has his own way to build a Huguangchuan joint defense line as a frontline position to resist the rebellion, what do you think?"

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a long time. He raised his head and said, "Dean Yang just came to Changsha, and he must not know the general environment. Look at how this is, it just so happens that Lu is also interested in taking advantage of this time to prepare to clean up and rectify the law and order in the territory, and he can place a seat in the Huguang army for Dean Yang, if Dean Yang can let these rogues obediently cooperate with the court as you just said, as the assistant army, then it would be the best. If not, those notorious bastards, I think it's time to clean up. ”

Yang Fan nodded, saw Lu Xiangsheng's serious expression, and said, "That's fine, then I'll bother Governor Lu." ”

Lu Xiangsheng stopped and said, "Where is it." This time, even if the joint defense alliance is not successful, I believe that with Dean Yang's participation in cleaning up the Liukou, the damage of the Huguang army will be smaller. I heard that Dean Yang cherished his soldiers very much. ”

"Haha. It's all a thing of the past. I don't know if the Tianxiong Army under Governor Lu is in Huguang? ”

"Yes. ......After all, Lu Xiangsheng is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard Yang Fan talk about the Tianxiong Army, he naturally had the intention of borrowing troops, so he was a little embarrassed.

"Understood." Yang Fan nodded, understanding that it was impossible to borrow the Tianxiong Army. In these years, taking charge of the military privately is like rebelling, and Yang Fan doesn't want to lose his head, so naturally he won't do it. Lu Xiangsheng said: "But Dean Yang can rest assured. With the prestige you have erected in Liaodi, Zai Xia has reason to believe in your decision, so he will order him to go down and ask the generals to cooperate with your actions as much as possible. ”

"That couldn't be better." Yang Fan drank tea and said, "It's not too early, so I won't disturb Governor Lu to be busy with official business, and I will say goodbye." ”

"Farewell."

Yang Fan got out of the carriage, turned his somewhat stiff neck, swept the figure behind the stone lion out of the corner of his eye, and walked straight into the inn. The boy entered the inn, and the baked potatoes, fried fish, and a few pairs of dark eyes were once again drowned in the crowd. Only a few sparrows, taking advantage of the warm sun, stood early in the treetops and jumped. The cold wind passed, and the last few remaining leaves on the tree also fell, bare. The quiet streets began to liven up...... (To be continued.) )
