Li Qin was very busy with the expansion of Fujiaobao and desperately developing weapons and equipment, and the officialdom of Liangzhou, Chang'an, and Luoyang was also very busy.

When Leng Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, did not return from Lian County, he had already sent a letter back to Longxian County and sent it to Wei Yuanpi, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Wei Yuanpi was taken aback after receiving the letter, he was already taken aback after receiving Li Qin's battle report, and after receiving Leng Zheng's letter this time, it was equivalent to determining the true result of the war, and of course he could only be surprised a second time!

Wei Yuanpi is from a wealthy family in Luoyang, good at calligraphy, not good at being an official, but it doesn't matter if he has the ability to be an official, the important thing is that he writes well, and it is a great skill to write well in these years.

In fact, after his death, due to his inaction, the official position of Liangzhou Assassin was vacant, which triggered the competition among the bureaucrats, and the local forces in Liangzhou also rose rapidly, so that his successor, the later Liangzhou Assassin History, changed five in four years, not only all of them were not long, but also were hacked to death by the princes, and then they were changed several, and they all had bad lives, anyway, after him, who was the Liangzhou Assassin who was unlucky, Han Sui cut it, Ma Chao continued to cut, and it took turns to cut!

Just because Wei Yuanpi has no political achievements, so he is particularly eager to have political achievements, and defeated the Hun soldiers, no matter from any aspect, it is a great political achievement, Liangzhou officialdom is not divided into civil and military families, whose credit will eventually be counted on Wei Yuanpi's head, it is all his credit!

After receiving Leng Zheng's letter, Wei Yuanpi's hands trembled, and he said, "Is that really the case? That, that, that Li Qin really defeated Liu Jiu? That's Liu Jiu, it's not a miscellaneous Hun king! ”

The hall of the Yamen of the Assassin was full of people, and the officials passed Leng Zheng's letters one by one, everyone was surprised, and after reading it, they said that this is God bless Liangzhou, and this great victory over the Huns is the credit of Wei Yuanpi!

Wei Yuanpi was born in a literati, and he is still a little embarrassed in his conscience to seize the credit of others, whether he will fight or not, everyone knows, and the big officials in the court also know that he insists on putting all the credit on himself, don't say that others don't believe it, he doesn't believe it himself.

He took out the private message that Leng Zheng had given him, and said, "Since Li Qin has made a contribution, there are some things that need to be hidden from everyone." Don't hide it from you, this Li Qin is General Leng's protégé, and General Leng is his mentor. In fact, before the Huns went south, this official and General Leng got the news, for this reason the two of us discussed this battle overnight, and made a plan, this plan was handed over to Li Qin to implement, it seems that he did not live up to me and General Leng's expectations of him, and defeated the Huns! ”

The officials thought to themselves: "! But everyone nodded together, with a sudden expression on their faces, and said in unison: "I see." The lower officials are still wondering, why Li Qin can be so good, it turns out that he was guided by the adults and General Leng, so he won the battle, with the adults and General Leng strategizing, then anyone can win! ”

Wei Yuanpi smiled: "This ...... That's right! He asked the officials to give ideas, how can they ask the court for credit so that everyone can get benefits, it can't be said that everyone has a share, but those who "should have a share" must have a share.

The officials were extremely concerned about this kind of thing, after all, it was related to everyone's interests, and they came up with ideas one after another, saying that what kind of relationship they have, which minister of the DPRK and the central government can talk to, and what kind of force they can contribute.

After some discussion, they made a plan to repay the merit and ask for rewards, Wei Yuanpi ordered people to act according to the plan, in fact, their plan was similar to Leng Zheng's, but it was more perfect, and all the details were taken care of.

The first battle report, as well as the private letter written by Wei Yuanpi, was quickly sent to the captain of Si Li, and the captain of Chang'an saw it, and the same as the officialdom of Liangzhou, he was also surprised, and it was hard to believe that this kind of thing was true, but with the guarantee of Wei Tingshi and Captain Leng, he could only believe that it was true, he and Wei Yuanpi Leng Zheng were acquaintances, and they knew that the temper of the two of them was different, and they knew that others dared to pull this kind of big lie, but they did not dare to pull it, so although this battle exploit was exaggerated, it may be true.

After reading the battle report, Captain Si Li immediately read Wei Yuanpi's private message, and felt that Li Qin was very likely to be hit by great luck, as the military governor of Chang'an, of course he knew how to fight, and Liu Jiu's sudden withdrawal was very likely that something happened on the grassland, so he could only return in a hurry, and the moment when Liu Jiu retreated was exactly the moment when Li Qin was defending Lian County.

Captain Si Li took Wei Yuanpi's private message, read the last paragraph, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Fortunately, the two brothers are very interesting, they are so far away from me, and they didn't forget me, they actually fulfilled me once!" ”

The last paragraph in the private letter said that it was because of the letter sent by Captain Sili to Liangzhou in advance, saying that Liu Jiu was going south in a big way, reminding them to prepare early, so Liangzhou could get this victory!

Si Lixiaowei, formerly known as Crouching Tiger, is a secret inspector who oversees the Jingshi and the surrounding places in the capital, and his authority is similar to that of the Jinyi Wei and the East and West Factory in later generations, but he is more powerful. It is precisely because he specializes in secretly spying on others that it is not surprising to spy on the Huns on the grassland, and it is not surprising that he can send the news to the Liangzhou Thorn Shi in advance, doesn't this just show that he is capable of doing things and is a very capable official!

Once he knew that he would also get benefits, how could Captain Sili not work hard, so he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Luoyang with the battle report to ask for credit!

The battle report was quickly sent to the capital Luoyang and to the desk of He Jin.

He Jin is the queen's elder brother, deeply favored by Emperor Liu Hong, his own surname is very rude, from the perspective of being an official, he is quite unqualified, but because he is working against the ten permanent servants, he has been supported by many officials in the court, especially the generals, so even if he can't be an official, but he does it steadily, and the bigger he is, he has already done it, and is expected to become a general, the ministers of the court are very skeptical of him, and even take him as a benchmark, what he says, everyone thinks that the emperor thinks so, So everyone figured out their intentions, and followed He Jin's words, so as to get the emperor's favor.

The war report was sent one after another, but He Jin had just seen that his own job was to eat, drink and have fun, by the way, he worked against the ten permanent attendants, and only dealt with government affairs in his spare time, and the war report of the great victory in Liangzhou had already spread in Beijing, but he just knew, if it weren't for the officials under his command to remind him vigorously, he didn't have time to read the war report until now, and his officials told him that the emperor would ask about this during the court meeting, and he only read it, otherwise it might have to drag on for a few days.

He Jin read the battle reports one by one, and said in surprise: "The county soldiers of the two counties defeated Liu Jiu's 200,000 Hun soldiers, how is this possible?" He asked the officials in the yamen what was going on.

This matter had already spread in Luoyang, and the officials naturally knew about it, and they all understood it so much that they couldn't understand it anymore, and they explained it to He Jin one after another, but He Jin became more and more confused, and he didn't believe that it was true.

He Jin said: "Even if Wei Yuanpi wants to make credit, he doesn't need to make up such a big feat!" The soldiers and horses of the two counties, there are less than 1,000 people, how can it be possible to defeat 200,000 Hun soldiers, and besides, Liu Jiu has 200,000 soldiers? I don't believe it! ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "Do the people in the palace know about this, what did they say?" He couldn't decide what to say, so he asked what the Ten Constant Attendants said, what the Ten Permanent Attendants said, he just objected, anyway, no matter what happened, as long as the Ten Permanent Attendants said it was right, he must say that it was not right, just to oppose it!

The officials under his command all shook their heads, saying that they didn't know, the matter of Liangzhou's victory had spread in Beijing, but what made people wonder was that there was usually a bit of a stir, and the ten permanent servants always jumped out first to express their opinions, but this time the ten permanent servants did not move, and so far, no news has come out in the palace.

He Jin heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow is the Great Dynasty Meeting, let's talk about it when I go to the court, I will respond to all changes with the same, let the ten permanent servants speak first, what they say, and then I will say it the other way around!" ”

The officials thought to themselves: "That's all you have to do, you have to look at people's faces first!" But they nodded at the same time and said, "Gao Ming, the Lord in the Servant responds to all changes with the same, which is really the most clever countermeasure!" ”

He Jin was discussing things with the officials in the yamen, and in a large hall in the palace, the ten permanent servants were also discussing things, and they were also talking about Li Qin's affairs.

In the main hall, all the eunuchs came, sat around a big case, and listened to Zhang Rang's words.

Zhang Rang took a sheepskin, spread it on the table, and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, you must have gotten the news of this matter in advance, and I don't have to hide anything, I called everyone here today to discuss this matter, this is Liu Jiutuo sent into the palace, saying that it is to be presented to the emperor, but as long as it is something that enters the palace, it has to pass through my pass, so I intercepted it, I want to hear what you mean." ”

None of the eunuchs came over, and they already knew what was written on the sheepskin, and the affairs in the palace couldn't be hidden from Zhang Rang, and they couldn't hide it from them either.

Cao Jie was the first to speak, he cleared his throat and said, "Isn't it just that Liu Jiu wants to use a counter-plot to sow discord." If Brother Zhang wants to promote the kid surnamed Li, take out this sheepskin and show it to the emperor, if it doesn't like him, then press down the sheepskin, and then praise that kid at the court, make sure that he can't get any reward, and he will have to die without even bones and slag! ”

Zhang Rang smiled and said, "I want to cultivate a kid surnamed Li, I heard Zhang Jiu say that he is quite sensible, and he also set up a note to work against He Jin, such a good seedling, how can we not cultivate it carefully?" ”

The eunuchs laughed together: "Then take out the sheepskin!" ”
