Wei Yunqi said goodbye and left, Pei Ju walked to the window with his hands down, looking at the thick snow in the yard, he still had an unexpected joy in his heart, the seeds he planted in Zhuo County half a year ago are now finally slowly germinating, and Zhang Xuan really accepted his envelope.

As the head of the largest family in Hedong, Pei Ju has an unshirkable responsibility for the future and fate of the family.

On the one hand, he bought a manor in Guanzhong, trying to get close to the Guanlong nobles and open a way on the side of the Guanlong nobles.

Secondly, he must also cultivate his own forces, not only the power of the court and the local government, but also in the army.

Pei Ju actually took a fancy to Zhang Xutuo, but Zhang Xutuo was loyal to the Great Sui and could not be wooed by him, so he retreated to the next best thing and won over promising young generals, Zhang Xuan was undoubtedly the first choice.

Now it seems that he has taken this step successfully.

But just one Zhang Xuan is not enough, recently Pei Ju has discovered another very promising young general, Huainan Nantong Shou Wang Shichong, who is suppressing bandits in Huainan, this person has a strong style, is good at leading troops to fight, and the bandits have also won many battles and made outstanding achievements, no less than Zhang Xutuo.

What's more, Wang Shichong is not as pedantic as Zhang Xutuo, and is a rising star who is relatively easy to woo.

With the two armies of Zhang Xuan and Wang Shichong as their backing, no matter which force replaces Sui Yang in the future, they can ensure that the interests of the Pei family will continue to continue.

．．．．．．．

A month ago, there were also huge personnel changes in Wuchuan Mansion, and Dou Qing was forced to resign as the head of Wuchuan Mansion in order to avoid the division of the Guanlong nobles, and Dugu Shun took over as the head of Wuchuan Mansion in advance.

At the same time, Dou Qing's deputy, Sun Chi, the head of the Zuo Houwei General, also resigned as the deputy head of the council and was replaced by Yuan Min, the Dou faction basically withdrew from Wuchuan Mansion, and the Dugu faction completely controlled the power of Wuchuan Mansion.

This is a major change in Mucheon Prefecture. It also means that the style of the Guanlong nobles has changed, in less than a month, Dugu Shun and Yuan Min have each done a big thing, and Dugu Shun is the person who completely cleaned up the non-Guanlong faction in Wuchuan Mansion. Guarantee the purity of the bloodline of Wuchuan Prefecture.

This is also what Dugu Shun has been advocating, and it is also the biggest contradiction between him and Dou Qing, in less than a month, Dugu Shun cleared the thirty-three non-Guan Long Junjie that Dou Qing had recruited from Wuchuan Mansion.

And the big thing that Yuan Min did was to disband the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix, not that the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix had no effect. Instead, the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix was founded by Dou Qing, and Yuan Min disbanded them in order to establish a Xuanwu Fire Phoenix that was loyal to him, and he himself raised a group of dead soldiers with strong martial arts, and Yuan Min used them to establish a new Xuanwu Fire Phoenix.

On this morning, in the reception hall on the third floor of Wuchuan Building, Yuan Min was receiving Wei Zheng, who had just arrived from Wagang Village, which was Dou Qing's official room in Wuchuan Mansion in the past, but now all traces of Dou Qing have been erased, and even the door between the reception hall and the inner room has been replaced with a new door. Yuan Min couldn't even tolerate the slightest breath left by Dou Qing.

Because Dugu Shun likes to make decisions behind the scenes, he is not in Wuchuan Mansion most of the time, and many of the actual affairs of Wuchuan Mansion are completely decided by Yuan Min.

"This is a congratulatory gift from the general of my family to Yuan Gong, just a little heart, please Yuan Gong smile!" Wei Zheng opened a brocade box, which contained two walnut-sized pearls, dazzling, and he respectfully placed the brocade box on the table.

Yuan Min's face was gloomy, he didn't even look at the pair of pearls, he was extremely annoyed by Zhai Rang's rudeness. He only sent an entourage to meet him, and a grass coward also had such a big shelf?

"Zhai Rang's shelf is very big! Did he want me to visit him in Wagang? Do you still want to kneel down for him and call the king long live? ”

This sentence, Yuan Min almost burst out of his teeth word by word.

Wei Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Min to be so direct and rude, although he could understand Yuan Min's anger, but he still sighed secretly in his heart, this Yuan Min was far less sleek and sleek than Dou Qing.

But Wei Zheng was not flustered, he still said unhurriedly: "Back to Yuan Gong, of course General Zhai is eager to come and see him in person." It's just that it's not safe for him to enter Beijing at present, and the Wagang army is now mixed, once he leaves, he is worried that there will be chaos, and we guarantee that within half a year, General Zhai will definitely come to meet Yuan Gong! ”

"How many troops do you have now?" Yuan Min asked coldly again.

"Back to Yuan Gong, the Wagang army currently has 80,000 people." Wei Zheng replied respectfully.

"Didn't you say it's only 50,000?" Yuan Min took a report from half a year ago and looked through it.

"In the past few months, there have been many heroes from all walks of life who have defected to the Wagang Army, and the number has increased by 30,000 in just three months."

The anger on Yuan Min's face subsided slightly, and he was a little tempted, 80,000 troops, if they could belong to themselves, would be the foundation for him to establish the Yuan Wei Dynasty.

And he is not interested in Li Mi, even if Li Mi is obedient, he can't compare with the people of his own family.

"Why didn't Li Mi come back with you?" Yuan Min asked casually.

Although Yuan Min's tone seemed to be careless, Wei Zheng still sensitively caught the attention behind Yuan Min's tone, and his heart skipped a beat, Yuan Min asked what did this mean?

"Back to Yuan Gong, I don't know much about the situation of the second general, and he doesn't have much time in Wagangzhai."

"So be it! My nephew Yuan Yong is brave and good at fighting, and he can also lead troops to fight, so I decided to let him also go to Wagang to train for a few years. ”

Wei Zheng immediately understood what Yuan Min meant, he was fighting the idea of the Wagang Army, he let his grandson go to Wagang, I am afraid that it is not only as simple as replacing 'Li Mi', I am afraid that he also wants his grandson to replace Zhai Rang and completely control the Wagang Army.

Wei Zheng scolded in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, but continued to say respectfully: "The lowly post will return to Wagang tomorrow, does Yuan Gong want him to go with the lowly job?" ”

"This is not in a hurry, I still have to talk to the Dugu Guild Master, you can go and inform Zhai Rang first, and let him prepare first."

"I understand the humble position, what else does Yuan Gong have to order?"

"Not for the time being, you can go!"

Wei Zheng saluted and slowly retreated, Yuan Min pondered for a moment, he also knew that this matter had to be agreed by Dugu Shun, not that he could decide it with a pat on his head, Yuan Min immediately left Wuchuan Mansion and went to Dugu Mansion by carriage.

．．．．．．．

In the riding and shooting range in the north of Wuchuan Mansion, two war horses galloped in the field, stirring up billowing yellow dust.

On the war horse led by Li Shimin, he opened his bow and led the arrow, and shot an arrow at the arrow target a hundred steps away, this arrow was extremely accurate, hitting the bull's-eye, he put away the bow and smiled proudly at the other rider: "Wuji, it's up to you!" ”

Another rider is about ten years old, tall, with a square face with a sharp outline, and a pair of sharp eyes under thick black eyebrows, he is the son of Changsun Sheng, the former general of the right Xiaowei, named Changsun Wuji, and Li Shimin studied in Wuchuan Mansion together, and the two have a very deep friendship.

Because the Guanlong nobles founded the country by force, they attached great importance to the martial arts of their children, and almost every child was good at riding and shooting, and the fine knife method and the art of war strategy were also the focus of their learning.

Li Shimin and Changsun Sheng not only learned Wen Taowu strategy, but also practiced riding and archery for half an hour every day.

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed, rode a horse and galloped dozens of steps, lying on his back on the saddle, backhanded an arrow, only to see the arrow like lightning, a hundred steps away in the bull's-eye, this is the eldest grandson Wuji's family heritage, his father Changsun Sheng is known as the world's first arrow.

"Shimin, are you still not convinced?"

Li Shimin sighed to himself that his archery skills were not as good as the eldest grandson Wuji, he put away his bow and smiled: "Why don't we compare weapons!" If you think I'm not good, then go and compare with my fourth brother, how about it? ”

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled bitterly and raised his hands, "You spare me!" I still want to live a few more years and compete with Xuanba, I'm just looking for death! ”

Li Shimin laughed, and at this moment, a person ran at the gate of the riding range, beckoned to this side, and shouted: "Shimin! ”

As soon as Li Shimin turned around, he saw that it was his brother-in-law Chai Shao, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted and greeted him, "Is there something wrong with my brother-in-law?" ”

Chai Shao smiled and nodded to the eldest grandson Wuji, and then whispered to Li Shimin, "Father has something to look for you, go back quickly!" ”

"Does my brother-in-law know what's going on?"

"It's hard to say here, you can talk about it when you go back."

Li Shimin nodded, turned around and smiled at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, I'll go back to the house first, and I'll still drink in the old place at night!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji arched his hand with a smile, "See you or leave!" ”

Li Shimin followed Chai Shao out of Wuchuan Mansion and went to his mansion.
