Wang Kunjun waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "Zhong Yuan's words are wrong. He traveled to and fro for our brothers for nearly a year, traveled to all the states and counties of the sixteen states of Youyun, and visited nearly 100 officials, generals, gentry, and wealthy families, so that our brothers would have no worries when facing the Khitan army in the future. In the future, if our brothers can succeed in opposing Liao and build their own achievements in the land of the sixteen states of Youyun, they will definitely have to take the first credit. You have such a credit to the outside, and it is natural for our brothers to welcome the outsider here. ”

As he spoke, Wang Kunjun straightened his clothes, bowed to Zhong Youpeng and said, "The brothers of the Wang Dynasty have thanked the members. ”

Rao is Zhong Youpeng is mature and sophisticated, and he is very urban, and he is still very moved in the face of Wang Kunjun's performance as a courteous corporal. He hurriedly reached out to support the other party's arm, helped Wang Kunjun, who was halfway through the ceremony, and then hugged his fist and arched his hand to him, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang values Zhong so much, and Zhong is worth it." Zhong was just running errands this time, Lord Wang brought all the brothers to the door of the mansion to greet him, and he had already killed Zhong, how could Zhong dare to accept Lord Wang's gift. ”

Wang Kunjun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Zhong Yuanwai is too humble. After speaking, he asked Zhong Youpeng to go to the back hall to speak. Behind them, Zhang Weixin and other brothers accompanied Zhong Shiwen, talking and laughing together.

Everyone talked all the way to the back courtyard, and sat down in the large conference room. After the next person served fragrant tea and withdrew, Wang Kunjun asked the Zhong family father and son about the experience of being lobbyists for nearly a year.

The Zhong family's father and son have naturally happened a lot of things this year, both smooth sailing, and the happy time when they successfully pulled them into the other party's mansion in a few words. There are also lessons of failure that hit the south wall, were turned away by the other party, and even threatened to sue the government. There are even more good things and many grinds, after repeated communication and exchanges with the other party, and after several twists and turns, it was finally a tortuous experience of persuading the other party to become an ally.

If you really want to talk about it from beginning to end, I'm afraid that you won't be able to finish it for three days and three nights. Right now, whether it is Wang Kunjun and others, or Zhong Youpeng's father and son, they don't have that time to waste on this meaningless story. Therefore, after Zhong Youpeng organized the language, he used very concise and concise words to tell Wang Kunjun and others about the hard work of his father and son in the past year.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Youpeng reached out and took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Wang Kunjun, who was sitting opposite him, and said: "Zhong often heard a certain virtuous son-in-law say that Lord Wang and Lord Wang's brothers pay attention to rules and regulations, and everyone who goes to the office will write a so-called 'report' after completing it and hand it over to Lord Wang or Lord Zhang. In this way, he not only recorded the detailed process of his work, but also wrote down the results he had achieved on this business trip.

Since Zhong is doing things for Lord Wang and his brothers, he should naturally 'follow the customs' and not break the rules of the 'Qingyuan' brothers. Therefore, Zhong also wrote a report here about the work of a father and son in the past year and the slight results obtained, and also invited Lord Wang and his brothers to look at it.

Of course, this is the first time Zhong has written this kind of report, and there will inevitably be some omissions and improprieties, and I hope that Lord Wang and all your brothers will forgive me. ”

Although Zhong Youpeng's introduction was relatively short, from his few words, Wang Kunjun had already felt the hardships of the Zhong family and his son in the past year, and realized the good intentions of the Zhong family and his son in hoping to truly integrate into the crossing team. At this time, Zhong Youpeng came up with such a work report that conformed to the working habits of the crossing team, and his intention to harass the core of the crossing team and shape himself as a real member of the team was more clear.

Since the other party voted for a peach, Wang Kunjun naturally wanted to repay Li. Since the committee has made a decision before, it intends to deepen the cooperation with Zhong Youpeng and include it in the core scope of the crossing team, so that he can be more involved in the daily affairs of the crossing team, especially the contact and communication between the crossing team and the local shili. This is not only out of trust in Zhong Youpeng, but also a form of appreciation for his contributions to Shili who has traveled around and traveled to the local area.

Therefore, Wang Kunjun took the report handed over by Zhong Youpeng and said: "Where did Zhong Yuanwai come from. The staff has been running around for our brothers for nearly a year, and now in order to take care of our brothers' habits, they have written such a detailed report, and it is too late for our brothers to thank them, how dare they go to the judges to judge the quality of your report. Rest assured, our brothers will carefully read the report of the outside staff and will never let down the painstaking efforts of the outside staff. ”,

Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun paused slightly, and saw that Zhong Youpeng's face showed a look of relief, thinking that he was very satisfied with Wang Kunjun's report that he attached so much importance to himself, and then continued: "Zhong Yuanwai and Chuanzhang (Zhong Shiwen's words) brother have been running around for nearly a year for our brothers, sleeping in the open air, and working hard. Qingyuan', it is said that our brothers should do their best to be landlords, let the staff and the brothers of Chuanzhang rest for a while, and will take care of their bodies and spend a New Year comfortably.

It's just that our brothers were all focused on expanding and arming the 'Flying Dragon Army' before, and they had less contact with local officials, generals, gentry, and wealthy families. Even if there are some acquaintances, they are mostly concentrated in a few places such as Liangxiang and Youzhou City, and the scope of communication is really limited. And once the Battle of Youyun starts, the local support for our 'Flying Dragon Army' is absolutely indispensable, otherwise it will inevitably have a very adverse impact on our brothers' anti-Liao cause.

Moreover, although the Emperor of Zhou has not yet been summoned to the expedition, the court of the Zhou State has begun to step up the training of soldiers and horses, raise grain and grass, and dredge the river. All of this shows that he is already preparing for the Northern Expedition. A certain eighth brother in Kaifeng also came to the news not long ago, saying that according to the meaning that Emperor Zhou had intentionally or unintentionally revealed during this period of time, as well as the preparation time required for the army to go out in the past, he judged that Emperor Zhou's Northern Expedition should be in February or March next year. In other words, there are less than two months left for our brothers to prepare. It is obviously impossible to deal well with the officials, generals, gentry, and wealthy families of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in just two months, and get their full support.

And the staff has been dealing with these people for nearly a year, and the previous friendship is naturally deeper, and those who did not have friendship before will have friendship after this communication. Therefore, Wang and his brothers have a reluctant request here, hoping that Brother Waiwai and Brother Chuanzhang can deign to act as a liaison between our brothers and the local Shili, and match and traffic information between our brothers and the local Shili. I don't know what happens to the outside and the brother of the chapter? ”

"In other words, our brothers hope that the outer brother and the brother Chuanzhang can serve as the liaison envoy between our brothers and the local shili, and do things such as liaison with the Quartet, transportation information, uploading and disseminating, and mediating and coordinating." Zhang Weixin added on the side.

Although the "liaison envoy" in Zhang Weixin's mouth is a new term for the Zhong family father and son, after listening to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin's explanations, Zhong Youpeng still roughly understood that this so-called "liaison envoy" is as an intermediary who trusts both shili, and the two shili cannot fully trust each other, and cannot communicate very effectively and smoothly, but have a common goal. So as to achieve communication and cooperation between the two shili.

Although such a role is a bit similar to the brokers and brokers who match merchants in the shopping mall and earn commissions from them, it may be a little unpleasant and embarrassing to say, but as the only middleman who is trusted by the two powerful shili of the "Qingyuan" brothers and Youyun local Haoqiang, Zhong Youpeng knows very well that being such a "political broker" is really promising. Coupled with the promise made to him by Zhang Weixin during the secret conversation in the inner room at the beginning of the year, Zhong Youpeng regarded Wang Kunjun's invitation as the first step for the other party to realize the original promise.

Therefore, after listening to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin's invitation and explanation, Zhong Youpeng replied without the slightest hesitation: "Lord Wang attaches so much importance to a certain father and son, how can a certain person not be able to shirk it because of physical fatigue. As long as Lord Wang and his brothers can trust Zhong, Zhong will definitely take over the post of 'liaison envoy'. It's just that Zhong is only a shallow learner, and it is the first time to take on the position of this 'liaison envoy', if there are any omissions and mistakes, I hope that Lord Wang and your brothers will bear with me. ”

"Zhong Yuanwai is too modest," Wang Kunjun said, "With the talent and learning of the outsider, let alone being this 'liaison envoy', it is more than enough to be a state assassin or a six-department official." ”

"Lord Wang praised it falsely, praised it falsely." Zhong Youpeng smiled and said humbly.
