Speaking of which, Chong Jianzhong's feelings for Tong Guan are not very bad, and he even has some good feelings.

Tong Guan stayed in the northwest for a while, and he was a bold person, and he had contact with many generals in the Western Army. Of course, this kind of contact is more because Tong Guan borrowed Li Xian's momentum, so that there was relatively equal contact. With the fall of Li Xian, Tong Guan also disappeared. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, he came again.

It's just that this time Tong Guan didn't come to the Western Army.

Instead, he arrived at Qinfeng Road with the Fei Lian Army. Clear-eyed people know that Tong Guan came to the Western Army to make meritorious service, and if he wants to make meritorious service, he must learn to seize power.

Sure enough, Tong Guan and Cai Jingdou died and lived, but in the end, no one was helpless. As a last resort, we had no choice but to strike the war. But Cai Jing, who made Jiangmen hate, finally left the northwest, which is a blessing in misfortune.

In particular, the generals thought that they had recognized Tong Guan clearly.

Although Tong Guan was born in the palace, he has a heroic style. The demeanor has not diminished that year, Li Xian.

The means of winning over the gate are also clever, promises, promises, and promises...... He was the emperor's man, and his credibility was assured.

The officialdom in the northwest is not big in the first place. A little wind and grass can spread to the boil. I have to say that Tong Guan, who has been fighting for more benefits for Jiangmen, has gained a wave of goodwill. Although Chong Jianzhong has switched to a civil official, his family is Jiangmen after all, and he has an inseparable relationship with Jiangmen. There are also many words between brothers praising Tong Gong's righteousness and flowing into the ears of Chong Jianzhong.

came and went, listened a lot, and Chong Jianzhong really thought that Tong Guan was a righteous person.

But......

Outside Lanzhou, he was disappointed in Tong Zhi. Like a person, it needs long-term maintenance. And to hate a person, just a word, or even a look.

Tong Guan used one sentence to make all of Chong Jianzhong's good feelings towards this dead eunuch collapse, not that Tong Guan is not the same Tong Guan, but Tong Guan has already understood a truth. The generals in the world are all garbage, only Li Kui is the real hero in his mind, and what makes him depressed is that Li Kui looks down on him.

In order to make Li Kui change his attitude towards him, Tong Guan decided to be a good eunuch that Li Kui liked.

For this reason, after judging the situation, he decided that Li Kui needed a good helper, which was no problem, and Tong Guan was quite happy to be Li Kui's good helper. Moreover, Li Kui also reminded him. Tong Guan is a eunuch after all, and if he is too public, the bigwigs in the court will not like it. There is no way, Tong Guan can only keep his head in obscurity, learn his skills first, and then seek a future.

And before that, he needs to let Li Kui have no worries, so that the entire Feilian Army has no worries.

The solution is also simple, make money.

Prepare enough money for Li Kui, and the soldiers of the Fei Lian Army will be able to get more rewards and move forward bravely. At the same time, given the opportunity for promotion, this army can be invincible on the battlefield.

When Tong Guan was short of money, Chong Jianzhong sent it to the door, this was an opportunity, Tong Guan immediately did not hide it, and asked directly to Chong Jianzhong: "Did you bring money?" ”

Chong Jianzhong was angry and humiliated, but he didn't dare to break the net with Tong Guanyu.

His family is rich, but the Jiangmen family's expenses are much larger than those of the civil official family, and raising people is a huge expense. The widows and heirs of the brothers who died in the war had to be supported, and the disabled subordinates had to be taken care of, and this money often left the generals with nothing to spare except to maintain their superficial brilliance. is like Liu Baosheng back then, a five-rank military general, but he almost sold his ancestral house with several sons-in-law to raise 30,000 yuan.

In addition, Chong Jianzhong didn't know how to do business, didn't know how to collect money, and didn't have the money to support the façade, so in the face of the soul torture of the eunuch Tong, he shook his head with a dark face.

Tong Guan's face collapsed immediately, the reward was not rich, how could the brothers of the Fei Lian Army have no worries?

So his impression of Chong Jianzhong was even worse, if it weren't for the fact that he had 5,000 men and horses with him, he wouldn't have wanted Chong Jianzhong to enter the city.

"Will the city be repaired?"

After a long time, Tong Guan came up with this idea. Fei Lianjun is the elite of the first class of the Great Song Dynasty, how can he go to repair the city?

The Fei Lian army needs to wait for the opportunity, the sword out of the scabbard, the opportunity to slash the enemy chieftain, and the repair of the city wall, etc., are simply worn out the sharpness of the soldiers.

So, Tong Guan fell in love with the 5,000 Deshun soldiers and horses brought by the plantation and construction.

A mouthful of anger was blocked in his throat, and he almost pulled out his knife and slashed the dead eunuch in front of him in anger. When he was in Yan'an Mansion on Yanyan Road, he was suppressed by Li Kui and took the militia and men of Yan'an Mansion to repair the city wall. But at that time, he was humble and light-hearted, but he was just a small pusher, and he didn't dare to argue with the favored ministers in front of emperors like Li Kui.

finally returned to Qinfeng Road, sat in Zhizhou, and brought the forbidden army with the Eight Classics, do you still want to repair the city wall?

Chong Jianzhong's face changed several times, a burst of red, a burst of white, and he was stunned and didn't move anywhere.

Tong Guan doesn't care, he has a lot of experience in this area. After thinking about it, in the end, he was sure that he would kneel in Jianzhong. He is so heroic and can kneel, why can't he be in the middle of the building? Besides, it's not a shame to endure humiliation and steal your life.

Li Kui can't be scared, but Tong Guan doesn't seem to be able to do it either......

But he really didn't want to build the city wall anymore, and in Yan'an Mansion, he was about to repair it.

In the end, Chong Jianzhong still felt that it was better to deal with Li Kui than with Tong Guan, in the face of Li Kui, even if he repaired the city wall, if he wanted to say the word 'no', Li Kui would definitely make him look good. Compared with the text and martial arts, Chong Jianzhong is not Li Kui's opponent, admitting gambling and losing, he can only tearfully let Li Kui call. But Tong Guan looked at him sadly and smiled, laughing until he felt furious.

The planting and construction center said: "Where is the shadow of boldness? ”

As a last resort, he opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, where is Master Li?" ”

"Out of town."

"Out of town?"

The first thing that came to mind was that Li Kui took the men and horses out of the city to inspect, which Li Kui liked to do when he was in Yan'an Mansion, and often came back with yellow sheep, wild boars, and sometimes fierce beasts and leopards after a day outside. This is one of Li Kui's great hobbies, hunting.

Chong Jianzhong thought he understood, and said with a smile: "That official is waiting for him." ”

"You can't wait."

Tong Guanxin said, our family, as Li Kui's prison army, doesn't know where Li Kui went, how can you, an outsider, know?

Chong Jianzhong was puzzled, and said strangely: "Is there another hidden secret?" This Lanzhou city has just been defeated, and the surrounding area is not stable, and the chief officer is not in the city, I am afraid that the enemy army will take the opportunity to attack and disturb. No, I have to see Master Li, and I ask Father-in-law Tong to take me there! ”

"You can't understand people, do you?"

Tong Guan's voice became sharp as he spoke, he didn't know where Li Kui had gone, if he knew, would he still spend his days bored in Lanzhou City?

Tong Guan crossed his waist and said to Chong Jianzhong: "Our family, as the superintendent, ordered you to take your soldiers to build the city wall, ten days, within half a month, if you can't complete the construction period, your own family can wait, the emperor can't wait!" ”

While speaking, Tong Guan raised his hand to the sky and signaled that if Dan Jianzhong did not agree, he would sue the emperor for black.

"Don't you dare to sue Li Kuitong, but Chong Jianzhong, hum, see if our family dare?" Tong Guan meditated in his heart.

Chong Jianzhong has a calm face, dare to be angry and dare not speak, the Chongjia family is no longer the time for his uncle to be in charge, there is no figure to support the façade, and now even in the Western Army, his status is not obvious. If Tong Guan, the dead eunuch, is really allowed to sue Diao, it will be difficult for the old breeder.

So, a day later, Chong Jianzhong confirmed Tong Guan's conjecture, and humiliated himself to endure the ordeal that he should not have endured, and he took the soldiers to repair the city.

Even with it, the soldiers of the Deshun army were quite humiliated.

There is a way that if a soldier bears a bear, he will bear a nest. is just a dead eunuch, why doesn't Lord Zhizhou fight with him, so that he can know how powerful the old breeder is?

Complaints, yes.

Dissatisfied, there is.

But the body is very honest, and the soldiers of the Deshun army are very experienced in building cities.

This surprised Chong Jianzhong, is it talent?

Even Tong Guan, who had a nose that was not a nose and a face that was not a face, also became kind. Seeing the rapid progress of the project day by day, Tong Guan pondered that he should finally make a meritorious contribution this time, right?

is Gao Yu, he attaches great importance to the construction of seeds.

After all, Tong Guan didn't know, but Gao Yu heard Li Kui talk about it a few times, praising the handsome talents in the construction. Since Li Kui said good things about the construction of the plant, Gao Yu thinks that the construction must be talented, otherwise his brothers will not look down on others.

After coming and going, Chongjianzhong has become a frequent visitor to Gao Yu.

Especially the deduction of war games, the tactics of peace and stability in the construction always make Gao Yu useful and all the solutions cannot be solved. The hearty feeling of playing with the master made Gao Yu shocked by the kind of Jianzhong. In particular, the addition of Tong Guan made the situation of this 5,000-strong Deshun army in Lanzhou much better.

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Chong Jianzhong couldn't help but ask his doubts in the past few days: "General Gao, why did Jianzhong come to Lanzhou for many days and didn't see Master Li's figure?" ”

Gao Yu sighed: "He went out." ”

"Didn't you say when you would be back?"

"If you knew, wouldn't we all go along?" Tong Guan also looked helpless, facing Li Kui, he really had no means at all. He even had to be careful for fear of angering Li Kui.

"It's not going to Qingtang, is it?"

Chong Jianzhong was taken aback by his own conjecture, the Fei Lian army stationed a lot of troops in Anxi Prefecture, and with the garrison of Lanzhou, the soldiers and horses that Li Kui could take away were 3,000 cavalry. And he also investigated, Li Kui ate a 15,000-strong Qingtang elite with real swords and guns, and even the Qingtang brave general Ghost Pupil was captured, if it is not to completely annihilate the enemy, it is unreasonable. Thinking about the three thousand cavalry in the Fei Lian army, I am afraid that the losses are not small.

With such a few soldiers and horses, what can Li Kui do when he takes them out?

Is it difficult to fight Qingtang City?

Tong Guan hesitated for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "It's possible." But probably not much. I can't guess what Master Li thinks, so I can only wait for news in Lanzhou City. In the past few days, there have been fewer and fewer scouts, and we are also worried. But what can be done? If he wants to go out, who can stop him, and who dares to stop him? Fortunately, he also took away more than 3,000 Qingtang prisoners, nearly 6,000 men and horses under his command, and there is no shortage of troops, but I don't know how to fight? ”

"Waiting for death is not an option, and now the walls have been repaired. Why don't we lead our troops to send scouts around, so that if something happens, we can take care of it. ”

After thinking about it, Chong Jianzhong still thought of dispatching the army.

He didn't come to Lanzhou City as a foreman to repair the city wall, although the city wall has been repaired, but it's really not good, he can only barely repair it. After all, the time is tight and the task is heavy, and the quality has decreased under the rush.

If he really didn't even send a single soldier during this period, and he didn't make an inch, how could he be worthy of An Tao's appreciation for him?

Chong Jianzhong knew that Tong Guan wanted to make meritorious contributions, so he didn't need to look at it, but he was born in Jiangmen, and Tong Guan looked anxious all day long, and he understood it at a glance. He had no choice but to bewitch Tong Guan. Sure enough, Tong Guan was moved, pursed his lips and did not speak, as if he was weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

Chong Jianzhong was secretly amused, and secretly thought: "There is a door!" ”

So he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Lanzhou City is small, and there are not 10,000 horses, and now the people and horses of the Feilian Army and the Deshun Army are quite crowded in the city. Bringing out 5,000 men and horses will not have any impact on the defense of Lanzhou. ”

"Really?" Tong Guan still doesn't believe in Chong Jianzhong, but he believes in Gao Yu.

Gao Yu thought about it and felt that there was no problem with this, so he immediately nodded and said: "Father-in-law, Lanzhou City is small, and a large number of people may not necessarily be able to guard it strictly." Now there has been no news from Renjie for several days, and if we continue to wait in Lanzhou, it may not be beneficial. Why don't we go somewhere closer? ”

"For example?" Tong Guan asked.

"How about Jingchuan Pass, this pass is the gateway of Lanzhou to the land of Hehuang, even if we take people and horses to go, even if we can't help, it is good to repair Jingchuan Pass."

Gao Yu's idea is very simple, Li Kui doesn't care where he goes, he must be going to block the people of Qingtang.

As a good brother, he can't hold back. At the moment, he couldn't help anything, but he still felt right to build a way back for Li Kui.

Tong Guan is not an indecisive person, even if he was worried that Li Kui would be dissatisfied with him afterwards, he still firmly stood on the side of the correct position, nodded and said, "Okay, our family also agrees." ”

In the Great Song Army, in the absence of civilian officials, military actions that were agreed upon by both the chief general and the supervising army could be carried out.

It's just that Tong Guan looked at Chong Jianzhong, as if he was very serious about it: "In this case, please trouble Chong Zhizhou to repair Jingchuan Pass." ”

He couldn't understand what he said, he was obviously thinking about going to the battlefield, but in the end, he didn't wait for the military order to send troops, but he took over a project to build Jingchuan Pass.

Even he wondered if his talent was not to lead troops in battle, but to build castles and walls?

Fortunately, he finally didn't have to be trapped in Lanzhou City.

After decisively leaving Lanzhou City, Tong Guan asked to go along, and so did Gao Yu. left Nian Xi with 3,000 men and horses to defend Lanzhou. In addition, 1,500 men and horses were left behind, and they continued to transport military rations from Anxi Prefecture to Lailanzhou.

Seven thousand men and horses marched towards Jingchuan Pass.

Out of the level, there is an endless river racecourse.

A few days later, when they arrived at Jingchuan Pass with supplies, they were surprised to find that the person stationed at Jingchuan Pass was actually their own Duyu Marquis Zhang Chuan. Tong Guan jumped off his horse and ran to Zhang Chuan and said eagerly, "What about Lord Li?" ”

"I don't know." Zhang Chuan said distressedly: "I knew that if I didn't send someone again, I would go crazy." ”

Soon, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and Jianzhong looked at the endless grassland with a kind of dementia, full of cattle, sheep and war horses, but there were only about a hundred and ten soldiers in the Feilian Army, and they couldn't control such a huge number of cattle, sheep and war horses with all their efforts. Zhang Chuan stood next to him and said leisurely: "I don't know how many war horses and cattle and sheep there are, but the grass around them has been gnawed up, and the legs of the cattle and sheep can't stop it." ”

Robbery, Li Kui is professional, especially against foreign races, and he doesn't even need to have a psychological burden, so that he can't even think of ending it.
