Chapter 374: Qinzhou

When Zhong Jing secretly arrived in Qinzhou, it was the middle of August, at this time the battle situation in Qinzhou had a new change, Tian Feng was pressed by Hu Zequan step by step, and finally failed to hold Chengfeng City, Hu Zequan boldly adopted the frog jump tactic, and let go of Chengfeng City alone and did not attack, but the rear of Chengfeng City was a series of two county towns down, and Chengfeng City was completely isolated, in this case, Tian Feng finally could not support it, abandoned Chengfeng City, and led the army to retreat to Qinzhou. Hu Zequan seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, and in the process of Tian Feng's retreat, although he led the army for hundreds of miles, he did not launch an attack, so that Tian Feng retreated to Qinzhou City.

Tian Feng's retreat, but in Qinzhou City set off waves, Chengfeng did not lose, Qinzhou can also be said to be Xiao and the Southern Army equally, but lost Chengfeng, most of Qinzhou completely fell into the hands of the Southern Army, it can be said that Xiao Haoran has lost the lead in Qinzhou, although Xiao Yuanshan himself is also proficient in military affairs, there is no disagreement with Tian Feng's move, can bring back more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Zuo Battalion safely, Tian Feng has no merit, but helplessly, Qinzhou officials are extremely angry at Tian Feng and give up Chengfeng without a fight, In addition, Hu Zequan's confrontation with him was a series of abnormal performances, which made everyone even more suspicious of Tian Feng, coupled with Xiao Tianci's encouragement, it had been a long time, and even he was a little suspicious, under the pretext that Tian Feng was tired, he arranged for him to rest for a while, but it indirectly deprived him of his military power and left him idle.

Tian Feng was bitter and depressed, and only lived in a small courtyard with his nephew, and did not even bring guards, but sent a cronie to Luoyang with his own handwritten letter to complain to Xiao Haoran about his grievances.

Zhong Jing's senior brother Han Renjie was originally a thief who sat on the land and shared the spoils, and he had a lot of income over the years, so he bought a house and land in Qinzhou, invested in business, and the family business became more and more prosperous.

Han Renjie is his own family knows his own affairs, and he also knows in his heart that this kind of knife licking blood is not a long-term solution, and he will eventually meet a tiger in the mountains, and sooner or later there will be an incident in the east window, and now the family has a big business, and he has long wanted to get out of this business, but the big ticket brothers under his hand are not scattered and can be dispersed, when there is nothing to be done, Zhong Jing falls from the sky like an angel, which makes Han Renjie happy.

When Zhong Jing found Han Renjie, he was already the captain of the Dingzhou Statistics Department, the guard of the famous White Fox Qingfeng, and the famous name of Qingfeng was naturally thunderous to well-informed people like Han Renjie, and Han Renjie, who was suffering from not being able to get in touch with the official name, was overjoyed and climbed this big tree, and the previous case was a fart! In the mouths of these big people, that is, a matter of one sentence, as long as they seize this opportunity, their bloody family property can be regarded as completely whitewashed.

The two sides hit it off, the Statistical Survey Department needs to take root in Qinzhou, a famous squire like Han Renjie is the best choice, and he not only has something to do with Zhong Jing, but also has a small pigtail in the hands of the grabber, the easiest to control, in the past two or three years, the Statistical Survey Department has continued to send people to Han Renjie's side, the original gang of bandits have been trained and rectified, and now they are considered a strong army, and those who refuse to join, Han Renjie originally issued a pension to let them fend for themselves, but these people disappeared silently, There was no more news, Han Renjie breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time he was furious in his heart, the methods of the Statistics and Survey Department were really ruthless.

And when Zhong Jing appeared in front of him again, he was already a general, but Han Renjie was very happy in his heart, when he was in the division, the little girl with yellow hair who was not outstanding has now become his lucky star, the higher Zhong Jing's status in Dingzhou, the more stable he will be.

arranged Zhong Jing and a few of the spies accompanying her to her compound, came to the study with Zhong Jing, and after a parting story, Han Renjie, who knew Zhong Jing's recent situation, said angrily: "Little junior sister, why don't you notify the senior brother of such a big event as your marriage, why should I also prepare a generous gift but congratulate, besides, my brother-in-law is a powerful general next to Li Dashuai, a great hero, I also want to make friends!" ”

Zhong Jing was very clear about the meaning of the senior brother, and said with a smile: "Now that the Central Plains is in turmoil, the senior brother knows it, and it is not easy to pass, not to mention that the senior brother you are a dark chess piece that the young lady attaches great importance to, and you are willing to let you reveal your relationship with Dingzhou for these little things?" As for getting to know Tang Hu, it couldn't be easier, and when the overall situation has been decided, he will naturally come to see you. ”

Han Renjie is very excited, the little junior sister is not only a general officially appointed by the imperial court, but also a brother-in-law is extraordinary, he is a confidant of Li Qing's handsome, and he has a bright future in the future.

Han Yong is the only son of Han Renjie, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is brave and brave, he followed his father to do business without capital when he was a teenager, his courage is very outstanding, his age is about the same as Zhong Jing, and the excited Han Renjie called Han Yong in, "Ah Yong, this is the uncle I often mention to you, now he is a dignified general, you will follow your uncle in the future, but you have to do your best, with the help of your uncle, you will get twice the result with half the effort in the future, and the future is immeasurable." As he spoke, he asked his son to visit Zhong Jing.

Han Yong was a little embarrassed, this uncle was about the same age as himself, and he was a woman, at first glance, he seemed to be much younger than himself, and he walked up to Zhong Jing embarrassedly at the moment, bent down and said, "My nephew has seen my uncle!" ”

"That's it!" Zhong Jing looked at Han Yong, the last time he came and went in a hurry, plus Han Yong went outside to do business again, but he didn't see above, at this moment he saw him standing in front of him, but he was also extremely majestic, with a heroic face, if he practiced a little, he might become a good general who charged into battle, she knew the martial arts of her own master, just glanced at Han Yong, and knew that his kung fu was extremely good.

"My nephew and nephew have practiced kung fu well, I'm afraid there will be six or seven percent of the fire!" Zhong Jing said with a smile: "Do you have the desire to develop in the Dingzhou Army, if so, I can recommend it to you." Turning his head to look at Han Renjie, he said: "My nephew looks like a general, and I can't help but feel a little aggrieved when I follow us, if my brother agrees, I can arrange it, but serving in the army is more dangerous, but the fame is also dignified, and the promotion is fast." ”

Han Renjie and Han Yong are both very happy, although the Statistical Survey Department is famous, but it cannot be exposed, like Han Renjie, although he now has the title and uniform of a captain, but he can only wear it out in the dead of night to appreciate himself, and experience the feeling of being an official by a bandit, but usually it is deeply hidden and cannot be exposed, as for the danger in the army that Zhong Jing said, for people like his father and son who are used to licking blood with knives, they are also in their eyes.

"Thank you, junior sister!" Han Renjie laughed.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi, for making it perfect!" Han Yong bowed to Zhong Jing willingly this time, he wanted to go to the army, but he didn't want to start as a small soldier, with this uncle's arrangement, he must be able to get at least a lieutenant.

Zhong Jing smiled and waved his hand again and again, and said in his heart As long as this nephew goes to the Dingzhou army, the senior brother is even more determined to serve Dingzhou, within a few years, the Dingzhou army will not set foot in the Central Plains, but the chess piece of the senior brother is very important to Dingzhou.

"When this happens, I'll take you to Dingzhou." Zhong Jing said.

"By the way, little junior sister, you must have something important to do when you come this time, but I don't know what is the use of senior brother?" After talking about family affairs, Han Renjie turned the conversation back to business.

"Something's big!" Zhong Jing said: "I am here mainly to provoke the Xiao family's civil strife. ”

Han Renjie was taken aback, "Isn't Li Dashuai allied with the Xiao family, why do you still want to fight the attention of the Xiao family?" ”

Zhong Jing straightened his face and said: "Senior brother, these things are not something you can understand, you don't need to know, you just need to do things according to Dingzhou's instructions, senior brother, my little sister wants to advise you, in the Statistical Survey Division, there is only obedience, no questioning, what the above commands, we will do, otherwise once the young lady is annoyed, it will be difficult to say!" The senior brother has never undergone serious training in the Statistical Survey Division, and he does not understand some rules and disciplines, but he must remember to be cautious in his words and deeds, and do not inquire about things that have nothing to do with him, but only ask. ”

Although he was a lot older, he was unceremoniously taught a lesson by Zhong Jing, who was dozens of years younger than him, Han Renjie was indeed a little uncomfortable in his heart, but where was Zhong Jing's position, and now he was his backer, Han Renjie still made a convincing appearance and said: "Little junior sister is right, I remember." ”

Zhong Jing said: "Senior brother, you and I are in the same family, the little sister will say a few more words, officialdom is not comparable to the rivers and lakes, when the little sister first entered the Statistical Survey Department, she was also very unaccustomed, but after a few years, she deeply knew that officialdom is more dangerous than the rivers and lakes, but it is dangerous, if you are not careful, it will be the end of broken bones, don't look at the little sister on the surface of the scenery, a hundred responses, in fact, it is also walking on thin ice, be careful every step!" ”

Han Renjie nodded again and again, I have never eaten pork, I have never seen a pig run, as the saying goes, killing people knows the county, destroying the door and ordering Yin, which is different from going to the rivers and lakes, these people only need to move their mouths to do things, but the rivers and lakes have to be exchanged for their lives, which shows that the rivers and lakes are far from being compared with officialdom.

"When I came to Qinzhou this time, one of the main tasks was to target Tian Feng." Zhong Jing said. "Senior brother, you are the head snake of the land, you can quietly mobilize your relationship, it is rumored that Tian Feng and Hu Zequan colluded, first trapped General Xiao Xiao to death, and then gave up Chengfeng, so that the southern army soldiers could gain the strategic advantage of Qinzhou without blood. All in all, it is to make the people of Qinzhou believe that this Tian Feng may have taken refuge in King Ning in private. ”

"Xiao Yuanshan is not a bad person, I'm afraid it will not be easy to win his trust!" Han Renjie said.

Zhong Jing said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not, everyone is golden, they are ruined, and the rumors are terrible, as long as others believe it, it's okay, and Xiao Yuanshan's talent is far better than Xiao Haoran, as long as he is suspicious, it's enough, let's move his heart to General Xiao Xiao and let them fight among themselves, but there will be a good show!" ”

Han Renjie smiled: "This is simple, I will arrange to do it immediately." ”

"It's a small thing, but we have to be careful, don't show our hands, and wipe ourselves clean!"
