After passing the book to the Daoist Flying Sword, Xiao Yu invited Xu Zhenzhi and Nan Jinren, two masters of the Easy Realm, and the three of them joined forces to temporarily seal the old monk's cultivation, and then temporarily detain him into the Yuzhou camp, waiting for news from the Daoist sect, and then decide how to deal with the inaugural host of the Buddhist sect.

Then Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to return to the north, but stayed in the Yuzhou camp. Min Xing reported to Xiao Yu about the progress of the war in Yuzhou, Min Xing had personally written a letter to persuade Zhang Haijiu to surrender, and at the same time increased the siege of the city to put pressure on Zhang Haijiu, these days, Zhang Haijiu has been shaken, and no longer the previous resolute posture, and also replied to Min Xing, but in order not to leave a trace, it was someone else's ghostwriting. In Min Xing's view, Zhang Haijiu's concerns are two, the lives of his wife and children in the Dongdu family are one of them, and how to make his career after the surrender of the city and the other thing, but Min Xing can't do these two things, so the matter of persuasion to surrender is dragged down like this.

At present, the official position in the northwest has not been completely determined, which is full of a large number of temporary official positions, such as the chief military officer, the governor, the palm seal officer, etc., but in any case, Zhang Haijiu's status in the eastern capital is equivalent to the status of Minxing and others in the northwest.

If you only give Zhang Haijiu a false name, it is not impossible, but Zhang Haijiu bears the risk of the whole family, if it is just a false name, he may not be willing to serve the northwest.

After Xiao Yu listened to Min Xing's statement, he was silent for a long time, constantly considering the pros and cons in his heart. In all fairness, what Min Xing said is the truth, and Xiao Yu is not without an official hat in his hand, after all, with Lin Han's return to the grassland, there will inevitably be a power gap, as for who to use to fill this gap, Xiao Yu has not yet made a decision. Taking a step back, with Lan Yu's return to the ranks of civil officials, the next step is to build a systematic civil official team, which also has a large number of official hats, and they are also official hats that will hold real power in the future.

Civilian officials and military attaches must form a trend of mutual checks and balances, can not use civil power to control military forces, nor can they allow military forces to bully civilian officials, the two must form a balance, relying only on a blue jade is not enough, to establish a complete set of civilian official system, it is necessary to turn some of the military attachés who can lead the military into civil officials with real power, so that it can not only weaken the forces that divide the military attachés, but also make the waist of the civilian officials harder, and have enough confidence to resist the military attachés.

Xiao Yu said slowly: "When we enter the Central Plains in the northwest, we will change from fighting the world to sitting in the world, relying on martial artists to fight the world, and relying on civilians to sit in the world. If we can enter the Eastern Capital, the six ministries and nine secretaries, plus a cabinet, will set up the framework of the entire temple. Jiuqing don't say first, the Prime Minister's Mansion turned into the cabinet, the remaining six are the top priority, officials, rites, soldiers, households, criminals, workers, six Shangshu twelve waiters, except for the officials known as the heavenly officials, the Ministry of Shangshu is one level higher, for the first product, the other Shangshu is the second product, the squire is from the second product, and the military department is the most special, I plan to use the military department to balance the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has the right to command the army but does not have the right to transfer troops, and the military department has the right to transfer troops but does not have the right to command the army, the entire military department has a major responsibility, the military department Shangshu and two military squires are very difficult to serve. ”

Min Xing had a somewhat clear look, "What does the prince mean to grant Zhang Haijiu a civil official position?" But now that we have not entered the Eastern Capital, whether it is these Shangshu or Shilang, they are still flowers in the mirror, and Zhang Haijiu may not agree." ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "Zhang Haijiu is trapped in a lonely city, and now he has been forced into a desperate situation, he doesn't have much room to bargain with us, and I will personally give Zhang Haijiu a letter, the pros and cons are all clear, if he surrenders, in the future, there will be an official position of the military department with real power in his hands, Zhang Haijiu may not be tempted." ”

Min Xing said in a deep voice: "Then again, if this person can even abandon his wife and children, then he is definitely not a person who can be trusted and reused." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I know this. ”

Min Xing no longer drew a snake and said more.

Xiao Yu said: "If Zhang Haijiu does not surrender, we must end the war in Yuzhou before the end of the year, and at that time, we can also have a stable year." ”

Min Xing Zhengse said: "No!"

Xiao Yu picked up the pen and wrote the letter, put it in an envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and then handed it to Min Xing, "Go, send someone to Zhang Haijiu." ”

——

Inside the city of Luopu.

Zhang Haijiu sat alone in front of the desk, and the jumping candle flame reflected his face uncertainly.

In the past few days, the increasingly fierce offensive of the Northwest Army has made him a little breathless, maybe it won't be long before the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties under his feet will be lost and changed hands, and he will be wiped out by then.

It's time to make a decision.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and then his henchman walked into the house, handed a letter in his hand, and said softly: "My lord, the king of the northwest has written it himself." ”

Zhang Haijiu's face changed slightly, took the letter, carefully opened the fire paint, and unfolded the letter.

"General Zhang is okay when he sees the letter, is he okay? After hearing the general's name for a long time, he was born in the world, and he has always had great ambitions. In the past, due to changes in opportunities, he encountered the master, made meritorious deeds, and respected his power, how fortunate he was. How can once you be a trapped beast and sit in a lonely city, there is no way to break through the siege, and there is no rescue soldier outside, how can you be sad!"

"The current predicament of Xunjun is not for other reasons, but because he can't judge himself internally, he is subject to rumors outside, and his addiction is rampant, so that it is so. This king forgives sins and blames, abandons flaws and hires, pushes his heart to the world, and turns his back on all things; In the past, Xu Lin conquered the king, Wei Chi thought it was a plan, and today the king does not suspect Xu Lin, and treats Wei Ban as a confidant, and the general has no sin of the past, and the honor is heavier than the world. The husband is confused and knows the opposite, and the past is with the philosopher; not far away, the precedent is high. Today, the famous generals of the Northwest are in an orderly manner. Pei Zi Huai Huang, praise the strategy of the curtain, take advantage of the construction festival, and serve the task of the frontier. and swore an oath on the horse, and passed it on to his descendants. The general is shy and borrows his life, driving away Xiao Lie's strength, and would rather not mourn!"

"Today's general trend, the Quartet returns to the heart, this king should wave a million, always Rong Rong, hang the people Luo Wei, cut down the eastern capital, to clear the monarch's side, return the society to the Lang Lang Qiankun, and relieve the people from danger. If you don't change, you will think about it, and it will be too late to regret it. If you know the current situation and know the current affairs, you are willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and submit to the king, and the king will be treated as an official in the military department, and when the king enters the eastern capital, when the army takes office. I hope you know it in detail. ”

"Northwest Xiao Yu. ”
