Everyone sat down in two compartments, and Tong Guan suddenly beckoned to the side near the door: "Juncheng, sit in front, you have made a lot of contributions to Yanjing this trip!" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly converged in the direction of Tong Guan's finger, but it was a tall man with very bright eyes. He is about thirty years old, and the color of his clothes is only a military attache of six or seven grades, although it is already fast according to his age, but it is nothing in this Jingfu room, let alone let Tong Guan personally say hello. Just when he was confused, he saw the man bowing to Tong Guan as a salute: "That's the duty of the last general, and you shouldn't praise the commander!" ”

"Come, sit down!" Tong Guan smiled and pointed to a chair on the right: "Juncheng Mo wants to be too modest, if there is no news from you risking death from Yanjing, a certain family is only afraid that they will fall into Cai Yuanchang's trap and ruin the plan to conquer Liao, this is not a great achievement, what is a great achievement." Don't worry, I won't forget your credit! ”

If everyone was just surprised just now, they were already envious, jealous and hateful at this time. Everyone knows that since the recent resignation of Cai Jing, Tong Guan has joined forces with the current ruling king's generals and ministers, and has firmly grasped the power of the imperial court in his hands by presiding over the opportunity of presiding over the Lianjin war against Liao. For this power alliance, Cai Jing naturally hates it, and he wants to destroy it quickly. However, the civil politics of the Northern Song Dynasty had its own rules, and to put it bluntly, it was a "line struggle", and since the central work of Tong Guan and Wang Hao after they came to power was to join forces with Jin and Liao, then Cai Jing had to criticize this "central work" if he wanted to come to power. This kind of high-level power struggle is absolutely life-or-death, and this person can play a role in this political struggle. It's 10,000 times stronger than what kind of battle feats are in Tong Guan's heart

"Thank you Xuanshuai for your love!" Hearing Tong Guan's words, Zhou Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, obviously Tong Guan had taken a fancy to himself, what he meant by saying this was to announce to everyone - "This is our family", that is, he can envelop himself, and also cut off his own back road, only to hug Tong Guan's thigh. Otherwise, if Cai Jing and his faction return to power, they will definitely be dead.

"Rank!" Seeing that Zhou Ping had already sat down, Tong Guan's face became serious: "When a certain family is banned today, the official family has already made up their minds to cut Liao. Wang Dazai has also patted his chest. A total of 65 million yuan of Yan money has been collected from all states and counties across the country, so there is no need to worry about military spending! ”

Hearing Tong Guan's words, everyone's eyes lit up, according to the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, fighting a war is about making money. Needless to say, military salaries, pickle money, and clothing for winter and summer. Even the archers have to throw cash at their feet when they shoot an arrow, and such an army has money and no money, but the fighting power is heaven and earth. With such a large amount of money to support it, even if the first-level officials share the profits. The rest is enough, not to mention that he can also get a piece of the pie from the middle, as soon as he thinks of this, everyone's hearts in the hall are warm.

"The strength of the army in this dynasty is far from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and this expedition to Liao will definitely be successful, and Xuanshuai will also go down in history!"

A quick reaction immediately jumped out and made a big speech, and others were not far behind, and they followed one after another, making Tong Guan feel overjoyed, and the eyes that smiled with a dozen beards under his chin were almost gone.

"Xuan Shuai!" Among the crowd, Wang Yu was still more steady, and he reminded carefully: "This time, Yeluchun also sent an envoy to discuss the attached matter, will there be any changes in the matter of sending troops?" ”

"Oh! That's just a delaying tactic by Yeluchun! Tong Guan laughed: "He sent an envoy over and said that he wanted to attach it, but there is no state and county atlas, and there is no treasury book, which one believes him, the official family has just said in the forbidden middle, let our family concentrate on using soldiers, and there will be no constraints in the court!" ”

"Dare to ask Xuan Shuai, what is the arrangement of this general?" Wang Yu has the highest official position among the people, and he is also the most respected, so he put forward the issues that everyone is most concerned about.

Tong Guan laughed when he heard this: "Okay, anyway, the imperial court will announce it in a few days at most." The position of the commander is naturally our family, the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu of Hebei and Hedong is Cai You, the capital is the old species, and the former military commander is Yang Keshi! ”

When everyone heard this, they all bowed their heads and thought. Throughout the ages, the leaders of an organization have no more than two powers: financial power and personnel power, and the best way to understand the leader's governing ideas is to make personnel arrangements. With Tong Guan's qualifications and status, he served as the Xuanfu envoy of the two roads in Hebei and Hedong, and the commander-in-chief of the war against Liao, which was expected by everyone; And Cai You went all the way to the Xuanhe Palace as a scholar and entered the political hall, but he did not go out to the state and county to be a pro-people official, and he had almost no military and political experience in any aspect, and the Son of Heaven chose this person to be Tong Guan's deputy could only be used to follow the light, of course, this is also a good thing for Tong Guan, so as not to restrain himself in the wrong way. The use of the old masters to serve as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, that is, the former enemy, is because the masters are the best in the Western Army in terms of reputation, qualifications and specific command ability; Second, this person is not Tong Guan's faction, although Zhao Ji is very fond of Tong Guan, but according to the ancestral law of the Northern Song Dynasty, the army will never let people who are on the same route from top to bottom, which is also the meaning of the question. And Yang Keshi is a famous enemy in the Western Army, and the two brothers are both famous athletes, and they were also raised by Tong Guan, so it is normal to be a pioneer.

Everyone was thinking about how they could win a sweet position in the Liao army, and suddenly heard Tong Guan's voice: "Juncheng, you came back from Yanjing this time, and you have a lot of credit, and there is still a lack of commander in the right wing of a certain Shengjie army, do you have any intentions?" ”

If everyone was still envious, jealous and hated Zhou Ping just now, at this time, many people's eyes were already a little flattering. It is necessary to know that the Shengjie army is Tong Guan's pro-army, a total of tens of thousands of people, according to the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Shengjie army is divided into the left and right compartments, and the army commander is under the box, and can lead 2,500 soldiers. I don't know where this guy complied with Tong Guan's intentions, and he rose so fast.

"Thank you for your love!" Zhou Ping hurriedly got up and saluted, his mood at this time was quite contradictory, this Tong Guan's reputation in the history of the Qing can be said to be smelly, and it is indeed selfish, but it is indeed a favor for himself, with his own background, if it is not for his appreciation, I am afraid that he will be a county lieutenant who catches thieves in the county for the rest of his life. If according to the traditional morality of knowing and repaying kindness, what Zhou Ping should do is to repay his kindness and do his best to be Tong Guan's lackey, but as a traverser, Zhou Ping knows that in the next war against Liao and Jingkang, due to Tong Guan's mistakes, it has brought extremely serious consequences to the whole country.

"If I could take Yanjing, maybe the things that followed wouldn't have happened!" Zhou Ping thought secretly, he gritted his teeth, and said loudly to Tong Guan above: "Xuan Shuai, the last general has another request!" ”

"Oh?" Tong Guan was obviously a little surprised, but he was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Juncheng, please speak." ”

"Xia Guan wants to go to Yingzhou first, and then come to serve in the Shengjie army!" Speaking of which, Zhou Ping settled Luo She'er in Yingzhou, and he did everything possible to send people to transport salt and armor in the past, and after telling the whole thing in detail, he said in a deep voice: "Xia Guan thinks that it is more useful for the imperial court to go to Yingzhou than to let Zai be a commander in the Shengjie army." ”

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while, and everyone did not make a sound, quietly waiting for Tong Guan's ruling, but their gaze towards Zhou Ping has changed a lot, if they still have a utilitarian attitude such as envy, jealousy, hatred or intention to curry favor before this, and at this time there is already a lot of admiration in their eyes. Obviously, being a commander in the Shengjie army was a very safe and beneficial errand, and in the future war of Liao, the commander's guard did not need to fight hard; And on the list of meritorious service to the imperial court, Tong Guan will never forget the name of his confidant; But in Yingzhou, which is far behind the enemy, it is a different matter, the Khitans, the Xi people, the Jin soldiers, the horse thieves or simply the local Tutuan, any stray arrow may kill you, and no matter how rich the reward of the imperial court is, it is meaningless for a dead man.

"Xuan Shuai!" It was Tong Guan's beloved general Wang Yu who spoke, and he broke the silence: "The last general thinks that General Zhou should not be allowed to go, since there is a person who presides over there, why send one more person to take risks?" Besides, not far from Yingzhou is the Jin Bing! Wang Yu stopped when he said this, but the people in the room understood what he meant, since the Jin soldiers had already arrived in Yingzhou, according to the route agreed by the two sides, there was no need to send people over there, anyway, as long as Yanjing was defeated, Yingzhou would naturally not attack.

"Xuan Shuai!" Zhou Ping hurriedly retorted: "It is precisely because Jin Bingbing has arrived in Yingzhou that the Great Song Dynasty should bury a shadow over there!" ”

Tong Guan listened, his body couldn't help but tremble, as the supreme military commander of the Northern Song Dynasty, he naturally understood the meaning of Zhou Ping's words better than the others in the Jingfu room. It's one thing to have an alliance agreement, but it's another thing to put an agreement on paper into practice. The Jin soldiers are not heading south now, probably because they are abiding by the agreement, but it is more likely that they are still dealing with the remnants of the Liao State in the clouds and outside the Saiwai, and they are unable to go south. If the Great Song Dynasty can put a shadow in Yingzhou, which guards the main road to the land of Youzhou in the clouds, there is no doubt that it will occupy a very advantageous position in the upcoming next round of competition. This Zhou Ping can see this and take the initiative to do it, which is really a rare talent, but the question now is: Is it appropriate to throw such a talent, especially the talent in his own pocket, into such a dangerous environment?
