Chapter 56
But these are not the main reasons why Zhi Congyuan personally greeted Xiang Xun, there are two real reasons, one is that Xiang Xun came this time to help him wipe his buttocks; The second is that Xiang Xun is Chai Rong's confidant, the so-called etiquette is not strange, such a shallow truth, and he is naturally familiar with it.
"Xiang Metropolitan Eunuch deliberately came from Ningzhou all the way to meet him for the matter of Pizhou, and it is reasonable for Xiang Metropolitan Eunuch not to care."
Xiang Xun naturally had already guessed what Zhi Congyuan was thinking, and he didn't break it, and said with a haha: "In this way, so-and-so will be ashamed." ”
"Where, where, that's how it should be."
…… The two played haha all the way, and each wanted the other party to cut into the topic first to probe the other's tone. Xiang Xun knew that Zhi Congyuan was surrounded by the emperor's will to surround the Ming army, but whether Zhi Congyuan was involved in this matter, or even whether he had defected to the Liao State, this required Xiang Xun to find out how Zhi Congyuan would carry out Chai Rong's will before revealing his true intentions.
In fact, Chai Rong's will sounded very harsh, "Ling Jing Nanjie Du made Zhi lead his troops from afar to surround the Ming army camp in Pizhou, and not attack, but if the Ming army takes the lead in attacking, it can fight back." But when you think about it, it is a contradiction, saying it is equivalent to not saying that if the Ming army does not plan to take the initiative to attack, then the Zhou army is only on duty for the Ming army five miles away, and the Ming army is originally borrowed, and there is no right to go out to patrol.
But the key lies in how the Lord will understand, how to execute, and whether there are other thoughts in his heart. If you fold from Yuanzhen and have an affair with Liao. There is a chance that this encirclement will cause the two armies to fight, but if you turn it from afar, there is no difference. Then the siege is just a drama.
And Zhi Congyuan has already turned this will over and over again many times, even if he is allowed to recite it, the crux of the matter is that if this matter really has to be dealt with by Zhi Congyuan himself, he will dispose of it according to his own understanding. But Chai Rong sent Xiang Xun to come again, and he was just an assistant, so he naturally wanted to explore Xiang Xun's tone. so as not to go in the opposite direction, spoil Chai Rong's big event in vain, and provoke himself with a sao.
Both of them are the essence of Huanhai. came and went, his mouth never stopped, but he didn't say a word about business.
Finally, it is still a little less to Xunnian. I can't hold it back. He said: "A certain person came to Pizhou by order to deal with the emergency between the Zhou and Ming armies, and a certain has just arrived in Pizhou and is not very familiar with the situation. I want to hear what Ori Jieshuai thinks. ”
A smile flashed in Zhi Congyuan's heart, but his face was upright, and he told everything that happened that day, but his opinion was not revealed.
Xiang Xun listened attentively and word for word, at least on the surface. Afterwards. Xiang Xun said, "What is the opinion of the section commander?" ”
Zhi Congyuan smiled and said: "Xiang Du Jian Nai Qincha, since he has arrived in Pizhou. A certain nature is only to look forward to the head of the capital eunuch. There is no suspicion, and it is enough to assist Haoxiang Metropolitan Prison. ”
Xiang Xun scolded the "old fox" in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "You don't have to be polite, you really ask for advice, if this matter is not handled properly, it is likely that there will be endless troubles, and if you want to come to Jie Shuai, you don't want to change drastically in Pizhou, right?" ”
Xiang Xun's words hit the key point of Fold Congyuan, Pizhou is his forbidden place, if there is really a tragic situation of the Zhou and Ming armies, then he is not a person on both sides, and even more will implicate the Fuzhou Fold family.
Speaking of which, Zhi Congyuan naturally did not dare to play "Tai Chi" again, Zhengse said: "Xiang Dujian, the origin of this matter is related to the unauthorized security patrol of the Ming army, and only then did the two armies exchange fire in the back. If it is true, the fault of the Ming army was first, but it was an ordinary dispute, because the commander of the envoy sent Bao Hu to the Ming army camp to provoke without authorization, and even killed four Ming soldiers, so that the incident was out of control. However, the Ming army has only taken in custody so far, and has not tortured and killed the Zhou army, thinking that there is still room for peace talks in this matter, but it is just ....... ”
Xiang Xunzheng listened attentively to the analysis from afar, and saw that he was scrupling from afar, knowing that he had scruples in his heart, so he said solemnly: "What is the unspeakable hidden of the Folding Shuai, say it, if a certain has the ability to resolve the best, if a certain is not capable of resolving it for the Folding Commander, he will also report to the Holy Lord, and please don't have any worries." ”
Zhi Congyuan thought about it again and again, and finally spoke: "Xiang Dujian, if you only need to ask for the return of 3,000 Zhou soldiers, I think it is not difficult, the Ming army only captures and does not kill, it will not be because you want to raise these 3,000 soldiers for the Zhou State, as long as you do what you like, it is not difficult to ask for the return of the Zhou soldiers." But the difficulty is how to return Bao Hu, he is the chief general of the Zhou army this time, and he also led his troops to the Ming army camp, and he ordered to kill four Ming soldiers...... It's hard. ”
Zhi Congyuan shook his head, three "difficult" words in a row, Xiang Xun couldn't understand it, this Bao Hu is just a small commander, why bother to be so sad about it? Don't...... Is there a tangle with it?
Xiang Xun didn't want to delay any longer, solve the matter as soon as possible, and return to Ningzhou as soon as possible, so he organized his words and asked: "Is the handsome section related to Bao Hu?" ”
Zhi Congyuan was stunned for a moment and replied, "There is no origin." ”
"That's weird, Bao Hu is just a small commander, what crime should he deserve, what crime should he be, why bother to bother with the handsome?"
"Uh......" Zhen Congyuan was stunned, and looked at Xiang Xun's face carefully, not as if he was deliberately teasing, so he spoke: "Xiang Du Jian really doesn't know? ”
"You know what? What do you need to know? Xiang Xun was confused.
From the foresight of Xiang Xun, it didn't seem to be a lie, so he told him clearly: "Xiang Dujian, Bao Hu is just a small commander, but his uncle is an important minister of our court." ”
"Who?"
"It's ......."
"The stakes are very high, and the handsome section cannot be hidden."
"Bao Hu's maternal uncle is Zhang Chenghan, the secretary of the ministry."
"Uh......." This time, it was Xiang Xun's turn to be stunned, and only then did he realize why he would bother to be sad for a small commander. The official system of the Zhou State, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the second rank, are all above the two of them, and such a heavy minister is involved, which is really not something that Xiang Xun can directly deal with.
"Break the Jieshuai, this matter needs to be reported to the emperor, and it can only be decided after listening to the emperor's will." Xiang Xun hesitated.
Zhi Congyuan asked: "This is very good, but the emperor's decree is ...... to lead an army to surround the Ming army's barracks?" ”
"I think it's better to hold off and wait for the emperor's new will." Xiang Xun suggested.
Break from far away, this suspension can be contrary to the emperor's will, the army is under his own command, and Xiang Xun has nothing to do, and the responsibility is naturally held accountable to himself. (To be continued......)
