In this era, there are many forks of the Yellow River in Hebei, since the north of the famous mansion there are several waterways can go to Cangzhou, there are not so many bends when you take the canal, it will be a lot closer, but Zhang Yue is reluctant to seek far, chose to take the westernmost fork of the Yellow River, go north through Enzhou, Jizhou, five days later in the afternoon to reach the junction of Shenzhen and Hebei Fuyang Town mooring, here the waterway and the Hutuo River converge, the north is the Liaozhou border.

The 10,000-foot cavalry of the Changyi Army transferred from the northwest was stationed in Luze, Shenzhou, and at the same time, Shenzhou was also an important logistics center for the Northern Expedition.

Shenzhou belongs to Chengde Festival Town, and the current festival marshal Yuan Yan is in his fifties, who received a report from his subordinates, and took hundreds of guards and subordinate officials out of the city to greet him. Zhang Yue saw that the guard of honor was complete, hundreds of soldiers lined up beside the road, Yuan Yan was dressed in a purple robe, and led the officials to bow to the road, so he had to dismount to greet and return the salute.

"Why should Yuan Yuanjun be polite, he is about to use soldiers, it is better to keep a low profile." The officialdom ushered in a lot of send-offs, every time he arrived at a loess mat road, the armor opened the way, the guards were like clouds, the drums shook the sky, and Zhang Yue was becoming more and more unaccustomed to this kind of fictional scene.

"Huh...... That's right! Zhang Xianggong is a native of Jizhou, shouldn't he have just arrived in Shenzhou? Yuan Yan greeted with a smile, purely polite without words. He is also from the Tianxiong Army under the command of the first emperor Guo Wei, and he is considered a faction, but Zhang Yue is a rising star and has never worked together, and the two are not familiar with each other.

"This is the second time, Yuan Yuanjun didn't sit in Zhenzhou, but came to Shenzhou, it seems that the grain warehouse has been built, right?" Zhang Yue smiled and tentatively probed, the autumn grain was about to be transferred from the Daimyo's Mansion, the military warehouse and the camp of the Northern Expedition army, these were to be prepared in advance.

"Of course, in terms of terrain and waterway factors, the military warehouse logistics battalion has been set up in Xiaonanzhuang, south of Wuqiang County, near the city and water, safety is guaranteed, and transportation is also convenient." Yuan Yan was obviously prepared, thinking that Zhang Yue should have another meaning when he came here, so he proposed with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Zhang Xiang is well-governed, and the Zhangyi Army is disciplined and strong, and it really deserves its reputation, and it is now stationed in the camp in the north of the city, it is getting late today, and I will go to the state government to rest first, and we will go to see it together tomorrow morning." ”

"That's good! But it was arranged by Yuan Yuanjun! Zhang Yue nodded in agreement, and immediately followed Yuan Yan into the city.

In the border of Shenzhou, there are very few pedestrians on the streets, and most of the people who come and go are soldiers and soldiers, and when they enter the state yayi gate, Yuan Yan sent the commander to receive Li Duoshou, Han Hui, Yang Xuanli and other three hundred personal soldiers, and only brought Zhang Yue into the state yahou hall to hold a banquet to receive the wind, and sent a subordinate to invite a guest to come and accompany him.

The wine and food haven't come up yet, the two sit in the back hall and chat about tea, Zhang Yue thought that Yuan Yan sent someone to invite the state assassin to come over, but what he didn't want to come in was a black-faced young officer in his twenties, wearing a short jacket in a big red army uniform, fat military trousers, an ordinary leather belt to tie his waist thinly, no armor or hanging a knife, I can't see what level.

"Come, come, come! Brother Dong, let me introduce you to you, this is the Northwest Zhang Taiwei, the new privy minister, this time he was ordered to come to Hebei to deploy along the border, you come and see it! Yuan Yan got up with a smile and said to Zhang Yue: "This is a brave general under the command of Han Taibao, the head of the guard department, named Dong Zunyu." At the end of the fortune, his father Zongben had been under the command of Zhao Yanshou, a thief who descended to Liao, and often persuaded Yanshou to go south but could not, and until Yanshou was arrested by the Liao, he was arrested by the Liao people, and the clan Nantou was under the command of Taiyuan Hanzu, and at the beginning of this dynasty, he made great contributions to Gao Ping with his uncle Gao Huaide. ”

"Oh...... Takato's grandson? Presumably the martial arts are extraordinary! Zhang Yue nodded and smiled, seeing that this young man had a slender figure and an ape back, he should also be a big gun.

"Zhang Xianggong slashed Gao Mohan, his prestige has been unmatched so far, and it is an honor to meet today, and the last general Dong Zunzhi is polite!" Dong Zunzhi's eyes lit up, and he solemnly stepped forward and bowed his hand.

"No need to be polite! Please sit down and talk! You are a general of the Guards, but you have come to Hebei, but you have been sent? Zhang Yue felt a little strange in his heart and couldn't help asking.

"The good teacher learned that in the past, my father fled south with the last general, because he was in a hurry, the family had a large population, and his mother was accidentally caught by the Liao, and he is still in Liao, and the last general always thinks about the guilt in his heart, but he is powerless, and now as a general of the forbidden army, he must not let his mother suffer in the north, and this time he went north to seek rescue." Dong Zunzhi explained.

"Brother Dong, don't put yourself in danger, this matter can be discussed in the long run, the Northern Expedition is imminent, you must not alarm the Liao army, you can find out where your mother is first, and then try to bribe the Han officials of the Liao State with money, maybe it can be done!" Yuan Yan persuaded and pointed out, he is also a native of Hedong, and he was also under Liu Zhiyuan in the early days, and he followed Guo Wei in the second year of Qianyou's attack on Li Shouzhen, because he was familiar with Dong Zongben, and he was very cordial to Dong Zunzhi's title.

"What Yuan Yuanjun said is very true, but if a small force is sent out of Leshou to go deep into the Liao realm, it is still feasible to reconnoiter the terrain and the reality of the Liao army." Zhang Yue's mind moved, and now that he has taken office in Cangzhou, he may be able to take Dagu Bay and go deep into the city of Youzhou from the Jinkou waterway, so that the strength and defense of the Liao army can be explored very clearly.

If you save someone by the way, it is just a matter of taking the sheep by the hand, but as a minister of the privy council, consider the matter comprehensively, saving people is a private matter, and it cannot be confused with military affairs.

"Zhang Xiang also thinks it is feasible? The last general has entrusted the merchant to go to Youzhou to inquire, and he will start as soon as the news is accurate. It's just that I only brought three hundred personal soldiers, and I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower......" Dong Zunzhi said, his eyes swept over the faces of Zhang Yue and Yuan Yan, full of hope.

Yuan Yan smiled silently, because the borders of Liao and Zhou were intertwined, and it was not very convenient for the towns and Shenzhen prefectures under the jurisdiction of Chengde Town to leave the country, and the distance was far away and the risk factor was very high, which was easy to cause big things. Although Dong Zunzhi brought Han Tong's letter to ask for help, Yuan Yan still did not dare to agree easily.

And now Zhang Yue came just in time, the northern border of Cangzhou and Youzhou border, it is much more convenient to leave Cangzhou under his rule to save people, so Yuan Yan deliberately asked Dong Zunzhi to come over and get to know Zhang Yue, so as to get rid of this trouble.

"So be it! You first inquire about the true news and then come to Cangzhou, I can send someone to assist you! Zhang Yue picked up the conversation with a smile, and reluctantly agreed to help, the matter has not been done yet, so naturally the words cannot be full.

"Really! That's great! Zhang Xianggong is willing to help, then it will definitely be possible! Dong Zunzhi raised his eyebrows, and as he spoke, he got up and knelt down in front of Zhang Yue's seat and said, "Zhang Xianggong is very gracious, please accept the last general's worship!" ”

Zhang Yue was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, not wanting Dong Zunzhi to be stubborn, so he insisted on snorting his head three times before he was willing to get up.

"Brother Dong is generous and courteous, filial piety is touching, and his heart is commendable!" Yuan Yan winked at Zhang Yue and smiled like an old fox, which means that everyone is snorting, you can't take this errand.

Zhang Yue snickered in his heart, he wouldn't tell Yuan Yan that he was happy to do this favor. Because if this matter can sell Han Tong a face, Li Chuyun can also go further in the Guards Division, and he can also get closer to Gao Huaide, and the benefits are really not too much.

Besides, there are no people in this world who really show favor and do not want to repay it, especially in officialdom, it is inevitable to pull a team or something, and become the basis of contacts to maintain their status or rise. Even if you don't deliberately form a gang, people always have friends who get along with each other, and this also forms a network.
