"Please rest assured, if there is a certain family in this gang, nothing will happen!" Li Bao said in a deep voice. Zhou Ping nodded: "The fourth child of the Xue family just wants to go home to save his relatives, so I will let him go back with you, so that he can take care of him." If you pick twenty more trustworthy soldiers, you should be fine! ”

Looking at the back of Li Bao's departure, Zhou Ping's face gradually became solemn, in his opinion, Tong Guan's army crossed the river, and Fang La was a grasshopper after the autumn could not be jumped for a few days. Although Tong Guan was criticized in the history books of later generations, he also fought with the Western Xia for more than ten years, never ate pork, and always saw pigs running away, but he couldn't beat the Khitans and Jurchens, and it was no problem to fight the vegetable thieves who didn't even have a few pairs of leather armor. A ragtag army like himself with no one to cover him, he was thrown away as an outcast in Xiuzhou at the beginning, and he made a great contribution to walking shit, and he couldn't pick up cheap things next, and he was probably put aside to wave the flag and shout. But that's good, I don't want to smear my robes with the blood of those poor people anyway. The problem is that in the next Northern Expedition Yanyun, if I remember correctly, the Song army was beaten by the Liao army in that battle and lost face. At that time, if he put on a boss like Wang Ziwu who worships Lu Zu and humbly accepts advice, it would be fine, if he put on a stubborn turban, I am afraid that he will become one of the tens of thousands of corpses on both sides of Baigou.

"To go or not to go?" Zhou Ping said to himself, he asked Li Bao to send the money back, not because he was afraid of Xuanfu Si's turban blackmail as he said, but to find a way back for himself. Under this kind of command system, even if you have great ability, you can't use it, and it is really reluctant to follow this kind of boss to fight with the Khitans.

"Prison!" A voice interrupted Zhou Ping's thoughts, he looked up, and saw Luo She'er standing in front of him, his face flushed slightly: "Fang La burned down the pavilion in Hangzhou, crossed the river and went east. ”

"What?" Zhou Ping was stunned: "Seriously! ”

"Seriously!" Luo Sheer said: "It was said by a few of Li Xu's fellow villagers, who heard that the prisoners had released all the captured Manichaeans. I also saw that Fang La had no prospects. and came to us. According to them, since Fang Qifei fled back to Hangzhou, morale was low, and more and more people fled. I also heard that the officers and troops had passed the Songling Pass. The striker is only a day's journey from Hangzhou. Fang La had to take the Chinese army and baggage to cross the river from Liupu. Before leaving, he burned down the yamen and the building! ”

"Quickly send someone to investigate carefully, and report back after confirming it clearly!" Zhou Ping said sharply.

"Whoa!"

Looking at Luo She'er's back, Zhou Ping rubbed his cold hands. Back in the study, Mo Mo wrote two lines on the letterhead, crumpled them into a ball, and sighed in a low voice: "It's happiest to know nothing!" ”

In February of the third year of Xuanhe, Liupu, Hangzhou.

For Tong Guan, February of the third year of Xuanhe is a wonderful day, although the first month of the south of the Yangtze River is still cold and windy, but at this time Tong Guan did not take it seriously at all, close to the year of Ershun, he rode on a horse, rode a horse and whipped up, and commanded the army to cross the Qiantang River to pursue Fang La, as if he was thirty years younger all of a sudden. As soon as he remembered the imperial pen of the saint he received a few days ago, the corners of Tong Guan's mouth couldn't help but turn up.

"The thieves started up, and the southeast was swaying. Qing led the troops south, but after a few decades, the thieves fled far away. If it is not the power of the secretary, how can the widow have a good sleep? Wangqing take care of your body, Yanyun's matter must be inseparable! ”

"This is a letter written by a saint, and he has entrusted Yanyun's affairs to our family, what an honor this is!" At this time, Tong Guan's heart was already filled with happiness, as a eunuch, he naturally could not govern the country and be peaceful like a scholar, but to be able to get such trust from the Son of Heaven, how many scholars could get it? Not to mention that he was entrusted with the important task of restoring Yanyun by the Son of Heaven, it was a great cause that the two ancestors of this dynasty could not complete, if they could do it in their own hands. A hundred years later, it will also be rewritten in the history of the youth.

"Xianggong!" A voice woke Tong Guan up from his revererie, he restrained his emotions a little, put on the appearance of a minister with a pearl of wisdom in his hands, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"Jeju Soldier and Horse Prison Zhou Ping asked to see him, saying that he had something important to report!"

"Oh? Is that the one who guards Xiuzhou? Tong Guan's face showed a hint of a smile, for people who are really capable and "sensible", he still does not hesitate to show a humble corporal.

"Pass him over, and see what good news this lucky general brings to Ben Shuai!" Tong Guan dismounted with a smile, and the servants on the side had already opened the Hu bed and waited for Tong Guan to sit down. An attaché of the Xuanfu Division on the side said with a smile: "Looking down, it's not that this Zhou Ping is a lucky general, but that this guy is blessed with your handsomeness." The handsome man has strategized and has already included the thief in the urn, no matter who is in Xiuzhou City, he can make great contributions, but this Zhou Ping happened to meet him, and he achieved his great name, which is really a pity! When this man said this, he slapped his right hand into a fist and slapped the palm of his left hand, his face was full of sighs, as if he was lamenting that he didn't have the good luck to make a great contribution in Xiuzhou.

"You can't say that, if Zhou Ping is useless, how can Tong Xiang put this person in Xiuzhou, isn't Brother Tai saying this about saying that Tong Xiang's major events in General Tong Xiang are child's play?" At this time, a sneer next to him who usually didn't deal with it replied.

"Where is it said that children are used indiscriminately? Brother Tai doesn't want to spew blood! The previous man was panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly retorted, but his eyes drifted to Tong Guan on the side, lest this high-ranking and powerful Sidao appeasement annoy him, it was not fun.

"Didn't you just say that Zhou Ping was just lucky? In the following opinion, it is clear that he is a childlike and wise person, and he will be in the army, but you say that anyone can hold Xiuzhou if you change it casually! Later, the man was sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, and he bit the person in front of him with a bite and did not let go, it turned out that the two lords were mortal enemies in the court, and they finally seized the opportunity and would never let go.

"Huh!" Tong Guan just twisted his beard under his chin, laughing and not saying a word. It turned out that although there were seventy or eighty people in the attaché of the Xuanfu Division, there were only three or four people who were used to doing practical things, and the rest were the protégés and nephews of the bigwigs of the DPRK and China who were accepted by the favors, and they came to mix their qualifications and be promoted. Tong Guan naturally wouldn't make a casual statement in front of such people who had the big guys in the DPRK and China behind them, and even if they broke their heads, they just watched the excitement.

While he was talking, the Chinese army had already led Zhou Ping up, and the two naturally didn't want to quarrel in front of a martial artist and lose face, so they snorted coldly and returned to the two compartments separately.

"The last general will see Tong Shuai!" Zhou Ping bowed down.

"Get up, please!" Tong Guan had a smile on his face: "Zhou Jian has been guarding Xiuzhou for more than 20 days, and he has broken tens of thousands of Mani thieves with 800 lone soldiers, even the famous generals of the ancient times are not as good!" ”

"Tong Shuai praises falsely, the villain is ashamed!" Zhou Ping's forehead was already oozing a layer of sweat at this time, he was ready to meet this famous traitor in history, but he didn't expect the other party to be so humble and amiable, could it be the effect of his generous gift?

"You don't have to be too humble in prison, you have made such a great contribution, Ben Shuai has already played in the imperial court, maybe the day he returns to the master, he will be able to serve Zhu!"

Tong Guan's voice just fell, there was a burst of inhalation sound from both compartments, it turned out that according to the official system of the Song Dynasty, the robe above the sixth grade was crimson, Zhou Pingyuan was just a man from the eighth grade, the Song Dynasty in order to prevent the mediocre talent from relying on seniority to get to a high position, so deliberately the grade was very fine, from the first product to the ninth grade of the Chengxin Lang full fifty-three steps, Zhou Ping jumped from the eighth grade to the sixth grade can not be said to be a helicopter, it is simply a rocket. And generally speaking, the official positions above the third rank are given to those important ministers, and the sixth rank can already serve as the deputy secretary of the privy council, and the deputy secretary of the privy council. Although this martial artist is definitely not qualified, it is appalling enough.

At this time, Zhou Ping already felt that dozens of eyes were focused on his back, and if his eyes could kill, he must have been opened dozens of openings of different sizes. He now understands why Cao Cao didn't claim to be the emperor back then, himself, Tong Guan just verbally promised that a six-grade official would be so difficult, not to mention being called a lonely widow, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind!

"Tong Shuai has tormented the villain, what an important thing the famous weapon of the imperial court, how can it be so lightly given, the villain can't afford it, he can't afford it!" Zhou Ping hurriedly pretended to be sincerely frightened and replied loudly. Tong Guan also regretted a little at this time, Meng Lang just spoke, just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and said with a smile: "According to your merits, it is reasonable to overmove, but talents are rare, and it is better to experience some time in a low position!" ”

When everyone saw Tong Guan say this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and praised Tong Guan's hard work in employing people. In the eyes of these Fengchi talents who came out of their names outside the east gate, Zhou Ping, who was standing there, was just a vulgar martial artist, and it was simply unreasonable to be able to surpass him all of a sudden. Tong Guan is not the right person in the court, and he is really a eunuch villain.

Zhou Ping took out a document from his arms and presented it with both hands: "The last general will be sent by the royal capital to send the document and Tong Shuai!" ”

Tong Guan took the letter from an attendant, opened it and looked at it, and his brows immediately stretched. He looked at Zhou Ping, who was standing with his hands down, and said in a deep voice: "Prison Zhou, come to the inner room!" So saying, he got up and walked to a small open space surrounded by a curtain behind him, leaving only the astonished eyes of the crowd.

Zhou Ping lowered his head and followed Tong Guan in, and at this time, there were only Tong Guan and a henchman in the curtain. Tong Guan paced back and forth twice, and suddenly asked, "Prison Zhou, do you know what is written in this letter?" (To be continued......)
