In Jinan Mansion, Shandong Province, a good news was sent to the observation envoy Li Tu and Wei Liao, who was already a transfer envoy, the two read the good news, and asked about the specific experience, and listened to what the sergeant said, stroked his beard and smiled, quite angry.

After letting the sergeant go down, Li Tu took the codex, slapped his palms, and said with a smile: "This time to exterminate the eighteen horse bandits, the cavalry is the first achievement, and this official will report the merit according to the truth in the excerpt of His Majesty later." ”

Wei Liao also smiled: "So, thank you envoy." However, Ti Cai is just an investigation, and the real contribution is still General Shan and General Liu, and the history of Tai'an Song is also indispensable."

Li Tu smiled, modestly and shifted the topic elsewhere.

In this way, asking for credit for each other, when it comes to the essence, it doesn't matter how many elements of sincerity there are, in the end it is still a way to divide interests. After the eighteen horse bandits were finished, the interests of the white, black, and gray that they had vacated had actually been divided-the cavalry cooperated with the government soldiers and the experienced hunting speed, and there was no reason why they couldn't take it down.

Therefore, as soon as they received the good news, the two cashed out the previous agreement.

Before Li Tu's folds were presented, Wei Liao's folds must have been one step ahead, so unifying the caliber first was the first thing to do. The two of them moved their mouths, and there were a large number of people behind them who were busy thinking about the vocabulary, but these were all trivial matters to them.

"It's that I ran away with the mixed yuan Jinding Feng Yukui, the free son Zhu Qing, and the Shaoyue gun forest let these people go, fight the snake and don't die, think too much, they are people who have been on the battlefield, and they are also slightly famous in the rivers and lakes, but after all, they failed to jump over the Longmen mustard disease, so they are not to be afraid."

Wei Liao smiled indifferently and said: "In the end, it is not easy to survive on the battlefield by Sima Bi, these years, with the support of that person, there is still some improvement, although in the eyes of Ti Cai, as the envoy said, after all, it is a mustard, but you must not be afraid of everything, and if you want to be stable, you may not be afraid." ”

Li Tu nodded, and then the two of them changed the conversation to the battle in the north. This is almost something that the two of them must think about every day, and every time they meet, it is also the most important thing.

The allocation of food, the assembly of the army, the co-ordination of all parties, the support of the clans, and the interests of the local tycoons are all entangled and combined into a huge project, which cannot be completely handled by two people or a few staff groups. The details that are cumbersome to the extreme can make a feudal official like Li Tu and Wei Liao completely untempered.

In comparison, although the encirclement and suppression of the eighteen horse bandits this time is insignificant, it can be regarded as a relatively happy thing, and it is also a great help to improve morale. Therefore, in the eyes of the two, it can be mentioned. Of course, I don't get too concerned at this time.

"The Xianbei people swallowed the entire Heishui County, but in the end the rear was not good, the heavy snow froze to death many horses and livestock, and the grain and grass could not keep up, it is said that this year's grassland is exceptionally cold, and the entire small tribe is frozen to death That Yuwen Lord Fei Yin also failed to go south, but it is also a good thing Liao Zuozhang Zhang Boyao finally recovered Heishui County, but according to the northwest, Guanwai Dao finally couldn't hold it"

"Almost half of the armies of the two countries of Liuxianbei, Babu Zhongtuoba and Yuwen have penetrated, and the number I got from Tiqi is 230,000 troops, including 180,000 grassland iron cavalry, He Lou was completely disabled, and had to take refuge with the Northwest Army, and it was only a matter of time before the Northwest Ah Guanwai Dao was introduced."

Unfolded in front of the two of them was a huge map with circles and dots, recording almost most of the Northwest Bureau's battles with the Xianbei people.

In the eyes of Li Tu and Wei Liao, these things are not as urgent as those in Hebei Province, but they are also major events after all. And the Xianbei people and the Yan people are not completely without connection, many of these trends, strung together, can often see some trends, as the leader of the party, such a big picture is to have.

It's just that it takes a lot of time to collect such information back and forth, and then correspond to it here, and the information is not necessarily completely accurate, but it is better than nothing. The response here is slow, and the Xianbei people in the north are not necessarily fast, so many things can actually be dealt with.

After the war in the north, the Northwest Army and the two Xianbei confronted each other backwards, lost again, and then took advantage of the heavy snow in the north to counterattack, which has already achieved initial results. However, the situation is not objective after all, and once the Xianbei people have taken a breath, a more fierce war will come to an end.

The Northwest Cao Yun has been tense, these years because of the Yellow River upper, middle and lower reaches of the three sections of the governance of the initial results of the flood disaster, the imperial court began to thaw the Northwest Cao Yun, but now the entire Jin Dynasty is short of food, it is said that Huaiyang Dao has suffered from the harassment from the south, there is not much strength to support, the northwest food is not enough, the military is also insufficient, can it hold on, in fact, most people do not have much confidence.

"It's just that this is a big victory, and there are few people in the DPRK who will blow this credit to the sky, and some people are afraid that they will come back from the dead."

Li Tu said this, Wei Liao nodded, he thought for a while and said: "However, it doesn't necessarily mean that the war at this time has little to do with the Xie family."

The Xie family was beaten like this, and in just three months, the situation has changed almost upside down, which is tantamount to a slap in the face for many people, especially those who want to bring down the Xie family. However, among the officials, those who feel ashamed can take it out and say it, and they can bury this shame in the struggle with others. But for Emperor Jin, he had no obvious political enemies, so he couldn't hide this shame, so he could only bear the ridicule naked and naked.

This is what Emperor Jin doesn't want, so some people will find ways to solve problems for him and minimize Xie Yi's previous influence on the northwest in public opinion. Then take the Xie family out of this matter and suppress it again, proving that the northwest without the Xie family is the best northwest, so as to save face for Emperor Jin.

Li Tu didn't think of it, but when he saw that his worries were raised, he saw that Wei Liao didn't take it to heart at this time, and he didn't say much, so he continued to talk about the grain transportation.

The meeting between the two lasted until late at night, after which Wei Liao left the Li Mansion and returned to the mansion, and his family sent a greeting post from the Tian family to the mansion, Wei Liao agreed, and then met with a few Tiqi, and then fell asleep.

Observing the official residence, Li Tu had insomnia.

To a certain extent, his casual worry about Wei Liao during the day was not superfluous, but since Wei Liao didn't care, he naturally wouldn't say too much, let Wei Liao care, this is a matter of adding to the snake, and there is no need for the two sides to be so familiar.

However, on another level, Li Tu's worries are not groundless, the Xie family's hundred-legged insects, even if Xie Yi is dead, Xie Shang is in prison, and the Xie family is sealed, the Xie family's power is still there, and it has rebounded strongly, and the power is still very large, and it is impossible for Emperor Jin to blindly suppress it, and it is also necessary to give certain benefits to let these people rest temporarily.

Li Tu thought about the years when he was a protégé of the Xie family, and shook his head after a long time.

"It's all in the past. Oh, sentimentality does not want to open peace for all generations, it is difficult to open peace for a lifetime, teacher, what you say is reasonable, but how many people can do it? It's you, and you did it? I don't think so."

"Da is good for the world, poor is good for himself, Ande Guangsha tens of millions, shelter the world's poor people are happy Teacher Yan, you say, I am twenty years old fledgling and regarded as gold and jade, thirty years old small achievements still yearn for, forty years old, the future is bright, I look down, now I am fifty years old, it is the pinnacle of life, but I look down on this is not ironic?"

"It's just that you can't see it anymore, I tell you to listen, you just listen, that's all."

"How can there be any great harmony in the world, if there is, Sage Confucius can't achieve it? Since Sage Kong has not been able to do it, you tell us what you say, and you want us to do it, how can it be? ”

Li Tu got up, went back to the bedroom, took off the clothes on his body, and the concubine came up to serve, tossing and turning for a long time, and at dawn, he could not sleep. Shortly thereafter, he was woken up again, and got up tiredly to attend to the mountain of business.

*******

On the muddy mountain road, Xie Shence and six people wore robes and escorted a man, walking with difficulty. It had been three days since they came down from the eighteenth plate, and at this time, they had just stepped out of the territory of Feng Yukui of the Mixed Yuan Golden Ding and entered the sphere of influence of the Overlord Flower, and everything was cautious.

"This guy won't lie again, right, I feel like I'm still going around in circles like two days ago, do you want my subordinates to ask?"

Chai He, the red-blooded demon knife, licked his lips, looking excited to be punished, Xie Shence shook his head, didn't look at the fierce man who killed happily that night, and said: "The road is right, it's roughly right, the mountain in the distance, looking at the shape, should be the West Wind Collar can be reached in two days, because of the rain, it seems that it will not be until the day after tomorrow."

Holding an iron knife as a crutch in one hand and tightly grasping the knot at the neckline with the other, Xie Shence looked up at the mountain in the distance, stuck the iron knife into the soil, wiped his face, and shouted backwards: "There are still more than a hundred miles, work hard, I still have business, I have to find a place to rest tonight."

"Phew! Sluts don't fight and don't be honest"

Chai He took a sip, kicked the horse bandit who had broken a hand, and urged him to hurry up, the horse bandit fell headlong in the muddy water, struggling to get up, Xie Shence scolded Chai He, wanted to help him, and was thrown into the mud as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Ignorance of good people"

The horse bandits who had been taking Xie Shence and others around the eighteen pans in circles for the first two days to delay time were extremely tough, except for talking during defecation, if they didn't point in the direction at other times, they basically cherished words like gold. According to Chai He's words, this is called a dead duck with a hard mouth, and three sticks can't make a stuffy fart, so it's better to cut off the tongue.

Xie Shence didn't agree, in fact, this bearded horse bandit was only in his twenties, young and strong, and his kung fu was not bad, he was righteous, and it was a pity to kill him.

"You have been deceived, the people who came to attack you are actually not ordinary officers and soldiers who were defeated by you before, maybe some rabble, but then they set fire to you, and those who came in were all elite government soldiers, there are spies among you, otherwise there are so many of them, it is impossible to come up and talk about it, before you said that the overlord flower was taken care of by the government soldiers, in my conjecture, it may also be false"

"Some of you want to surrender and get a good way out, so they betrayed you and you still don't say a word about their affairs, what a pitiful person"

The man paused, but finally did not speak, and continued in silence.
