"This is the latest imperial palace newspaper, please take a look at it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Tian Li presented several copies of the report to Wang Mang. Wang Mang looked at it and thought in his heart: "Sun Pet is appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang?" Don't be the Taishou of Nanjun? Sun Chong was one of the three people who denounced the king of Dongping, and before the court commander Liang Xiang planned to let the three dukes try the king of Dongping, Yi'an, but the prime minister Wang Jia thought that the case of the king of Dongping was unjust and should be withdrawn. His Majesty appointed Sun Zhong as the Taishou of Nanyang, indicating his will, it was time for the King of Dongping to commit suicide, and it was time for the clan to stop. When San Lang was about to take office, Xiao Yu was dismissed due to illness, and he was not born in a military position, and he had a bad relationship with Ben Hou, so he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to San Lang. According to the information collected by Ning Zhi, there are many water bandits in Jiangling, and it is the horse bandits in Dangyang, Taishou can't count on it, and San Lang can only rely on himself. It seems that he was repeatedly coerced by his courtiers, and the emperor was unwilling. Wang Mang continued to read: "Xifu bowed to impeach Wang Jia, pointing out that he was healthy and shrinking, and it was not available?" Hehe, still looking for this kind of excuse, it is obviously the villain's ambition. Well, how did Kong Guang check? ”

Tian Li pleaded guilty: "No evidence has been found." ”

"Kong Guang, this old fox, is cautious and cautious, good at winning people's hearts, it's not so easy to find, continue to investigate." Wang Mang looked at the Di newspaper, "Do you have a copy of these for San Lang?" Tian Li nodded and replied, "My subordinates will send someone to send it immediately." ”

Wang An and his entourage repaired in Shang County for a few days before setting off and moving on. Because of the incident of bandits attacking merchants, Hongnong County also sent county soldiers to patrol the official road, and everyone was relieved. Wang An rode on a horse and walked side by side with Shi Duan, talking as they walked: "Kong Fu, who pretended to be you in Chang'an, sent a letter, he will return to Nanyang with Yangxiong, and he also said in the letter that after we left, Deng Hua had appeared near the inn with others. ”

"Uncle Sun means that Deng Hua and the other person are the head of the man in black?"

"Without evidence, I can only guess. It is said that the Deng family and the Liu family have a good relationship, Deng Hongneng served as the captain of Yuzhang, and the Liu family made great efforts. ”

"The Liu family? Imperial clan? ”

"I don't know, I hope to find out who this Liu family is?" Wang An flicked his horsewhip, "I have read the story of the night raid on the bandits' lair written by Mr., but it is too brief. Mr. thinks that the main reason why the men in black failed was to underestimate the enemy, and the reason why they underestimated the enemy was because their master made a wrong judgment, thinking that they were yellow finch, but they didn't expect that there was a person with a slingshot? ”

In order to facilitate their movement on the mountain, these black-clothed men only brought swords and daggers, not even hand-held crossbows, which are easy to carry. Carelessly, we were killed by a sneak attack, and most of them were killed by crossbow arrows, but in the white-knuckle battle behind, we could only draw with three fights and one hit, and if the man in black also brought a crossbow and hid in the stockade to resist stubbornly, we could only return in vain. ”

"Sir says they're not familiar with jungle warfare?"

"Our Qiang army often has to climb mountains in Longxi, so we need to take into account various conditions in the mountains and forests, and we must prevent snow, frost and skid in winter." "Their shoes are warm, good for walking through the streets, but not for walking and running on mountain roads." ”

"Is there any other reason?"

Shi Duan looked at Du Yi: "Yes, the other party is not as good as the Du family in terms of information collection, this is the first step of their failure, the second step is that Uncle Xia has been a bandit for decades and is familiar with the internal situation of the bandits' mansion, and the other party can only rely on bribery, and in the third step, everyone worked together to deceive the robbers and people who wanted to be yellow birds." As long as the uncle and grandson can listen to everyone's opinions, it is not difficult to exterminate the bandits in Dangyang. ”

Shi Duan looked at Uncle Xia who was running in front on horseback again: "Uncle Sun let Uncle Xia be a thief Cao Peng, so he is not afraid that the court will know about this?" ”

"It's easy to suppress bandits, but things in officialdom are troublesome." Wang An also glanced at Uncle Xia and sighed: "In the future, we will not only pay attention to the bandits and officialdom, but also pay attention to this man who is with Deng Hua, he died twenty dead soldiers this time, I don't know how heartache it is." ”

When Wang An received the report from Wang Mang to him, he felt that he was a crow's mouth, and he could say whatever he wanted: "Xiao Mingfu has been dismissed?" Don't transfer Long to Nanjun Taishou? "In this way, Wu Jianglong and himself are both new officials, the so-called new officials take office three fires, the fastest and most obvious political achievement is to suppress bandits, but the situation faced by the two is different, Jiangling, where the county seat of Nanjun is located, is close to Jiangshui (Yangtze River), what you have to deal with is the water bandits, and Dangyang is to deal with the horse bandits, if you want to make it difficult, as long as the county soldiers stationed in the counties are transferred to Jiangling in the name of suppressing bandits, even if they are not transferred, it is difficult for them to get the full support of the Taishou Mansion in terms of money and food. And it is not enough to stabilize the place and suppress the bandits.

Although he got bad news, Wang An still returned to Nanyang unhurriedly. The Kong family had already sent people to greet Nanyang, and after entering Nanyang, everyone was obviously relieved. Back in Wanxian, Wang An first visited the new capital Xiangkong Xiu. Due to the bad relationship between Kong Xiu and Wang Mang, although Kong Xiu still holds the official position of the new prime minister, he no longer goes to Xinye. Regarding the performance of the Kong brothers in Chang'an, Kong Xiu expressed satisfaction and promised Kong Xun to continue to follow Wang An south to Dangyang. Wang An originally wanted to visit Nanyang Taishou but was stopped by Kong Xiu: "Now that the new Nanyang Taishou is about to take office, the uncle and grandson have nothing to do with the previous Nanyang Taishou, and now he is not his subordinate, there is no need to add trouble to himself, what the uncle and grandson have to do is stay out of the matter." ”

"Family master, Deng Hua has gone to Chang'an, you have not been in good health for the past few days, do you want to return to Nanyang to rest for a few days?" An attendant supported Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu coughed a few times: "It doesn't matter if it's just a cold, we took a boat from Danshui to the south into Nanjun, and I have a few friends in Nanjun, so I happened to visit." Now that Xiao Yu has been dismissed, Wang An lacks a big help, and the new Nanjun Taishou doesn't understand the water bandits, so we ask the heroes of Nanjun to come out to help him. ”
