Because it was a private gathering, everyone was not as restrained as usual, talking and laughing, and more open.

In addition to Liu Zhi and Deng Yan, Xu Huang, Tang Heng, Zuo Yi, Zhang Rang, as well as Fan Chao and Su Yao, and even Qiu Lao Er also came, but Dong Ban, Lu Feng and Duan Cheng were missing. Whoa

knew that Deng Yan was going to get married in a few days, and the topic naturally started with him, and everyone congratulated him in advance.

However, when the time comes, they will all go to the Nandun Marquis Mansion to congratulate, and today's matter is not the point, so it will be just a little mentioned.

During the banquet, he inevitably talked about the Dong Ban and a few people, especially the legendary experience of his mysterious disappearance in Pei County, although it was thrilling at the time, but now it is a little funny to think about it.

Naturally, Deng Yan has the most say in this matter, and he rushed all the way to Pei County to rescue him, and the twists and turns are the clearest.

"Brother Deng, tell us the details, what's going on?"

A few of them only took a general look at the briefing, and many of the key points still couldn't figure it out, so they were very curious.

Deng Yan didn't sell Guan Zi either, and generously started after he came to Pei County.

"At that time, the past was really black, and there was no way to investigate, so I had no choice but to ask Yan Chun to go to the dock to investigate."

Fan Chao had some questions when he heard this, "Everyone else goes to the countryside to investigate, why do you go the opposite way and go to the dock in the city to ask?" ”

Deng Yan smiled and explained patiently.

"I thought that this place was a plain, and there was really no place to hide 20,000 people except on the lake, and that such a big movement would definitely require boats, and those old boatmen must know something."

As long as the idea is right, the rest of the matter will naturally be logical, Deng Yan successfully found the clue and sent the news out in time.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the county magistrate of Pei County, he also went north to Xue County, where he took the opportunity to visit the people and further find the whereabouts of the water bandits in Weishan Lake.

originally thought that when the news was sent out, it would take at least half a month for the imperial court to mobilize troops and horses, so Deng Yancai has been actively trying to find a way.

Fortunately, in order to complete the strategic goal of intercepting the bandits, Duan Cheng led his troops south, and this time they requisitioned ships in Xue County and other places, and quietly attacked Pei County.

After getting the news, the county magistrate of Pei County committed suicide in despair, and when they rushed into the county office, they rescued dozens of Longlinwei secret agents from the dungeon, as well as some messengers under Dong Ban.

From their mouths, they learned that Dong Ban had just arrived in Pei County, and he was warmly received, and the county decree said that the local water bandits were raging, and hoped that the imperial army would help suppress the bandits.

Dong Ban's mission was originally aimed at the bandits, so he naturally readily agreed, and most of his subordinates were born on the shore of Dongting Lake and were familiar with water.

The speed with which the county ordered the mobilization of ships was astonishing, and let people lead the way, and offered a plan to attack the bandits on the island at night.

The rest of the story is basically easy to understand, after the county order sent them to the island, immediately evacuated all the ships, and also blocked all the ports.

After discovering that he had been deceived, Dong Ban had people build a raft and prepare to go out of the lake to deliver the letter, but they were all intercepted.

Similarly, Long Linwei, who went to inquire about the news, also fell into the path of the thief's county order and was locked up in the dungeon.

However, after some bandits discovered them, they sneaked to the island, and after several rounds of fighting, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Dong Ban and Lu Feng originally planned to contact more water bandits before counterattacking Peixian, but it happened that at this time, the Liangzhou army of Cheng came over.

The two powerhouses joined forces to sweep the water bandits on the lake, killed some of them, and recruited some of them, and soon all of them were done.

Then, the two soldiers divided into two roads, one left and one right, and passed the bandits in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou like a grate.

This move also sealed Gongsun Ju's retreat, which made him impatient and frequently made faint moves, laying the foundation for Qingzhou's victory.

Deng Yan's eloquence is already very good, and when he talks about ups and downs, it is fascinating, and everyone can't stop marveling.

"Oh, Brother Deng, your trip is really worth it, you can see so many big things."

The big man is bloody, and he yearns for this kind of galloping battle.

Especially Fan Chao, he was very envious.

Deng Yan smiled, "I heard that you are also wonderful in the capital, how is it, how did you feel in those days?" ”

His ridicule made everyone laugh when they remembered the days of the rebellion.

"Actually, it's nothing, Your Majesty has already arranged it, outsiders look at it thrilling."

Zhang Rang pretended to be calm and said, causing several people to look sideways.

Fan Chao smiled, "As long as you kid can pretend, at that time, I was not afraid that it was all fake, haha......"

Liu Zhi himself also dismantled his platform, "I don't know how to arrange it, you will know first, it is really an unpredictable prophet." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhang let himself touch his nose in a wry manner and laughed.

At this time, Liu Zhi remembered something and asked Qiu Laoer, "That Wei Ye in the alley, how are the people?" ”

Qiu Lao Er was stunned for a moment, "Why did Your Majesty ask him, could it be that there is something wrong?" ”

"That's not true, it's just that yesterday Hu Ben Zhonglang ran Zhao Kai to me to ask for it, and wanted him to go over to be a general."

Liu Zhi probably knew a little about Wei Ye's affairs, and in the final battle outside the city to defeat Yin Jiali in Henan, he contributed a lot.

After Yang Jian reported it, he asked Liu Zhi to pardon him for his capital crime, and because of his previous status as a fugitive, he did not receive a big reward.

Liu Zhi casually arranged him into the city gate captain and made a small gatekeeper, these days he is busy with affairs, and he has not paid attention to such small things anymore.

Yesterday, he took the time to summon Zhao Kai and gave him to visit the Empress Dowager Liang, who was recuperating from illness, and Zhao Kai also officially expressed his allegiance to him.

To be honest, Liu Zhi still admires him, this person is brave and strategic, he is a more traditional type of Confucian general, and he also attaches more importance to his character.

But after all, he is not a general cultivated by himself, and he is in an important position, so Liu Zhi's heart is still in a state of half-wooing and half-defensiveness.

Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, so let's observe more before deciding.

Of course, on the bright side, Liu Zhi still praised him, and Zhao Kai had already been named Hou at a young age because of his father.

Liu Zhi felt that there was something to be rewarded, so he had to add some food to him, not much, it was a symbol of honor, and then gave him some wealth and jewelry.

As a result, Zhao Kai didn't mention any conditions, and just asked him for someone, which completely aroused Liu Zhi's curiosity.

It seems that Wei Ye is not simple, he can make Zhao Kai appreciate him just by one side, and everyone will come to him as the emperor.

Hearing that this is the reason, Qiu Lao Er finally put his mind at ease, after all, this is the person he recommended, and if something happens, he will be jointly and severally responsible.

"Wei Ye, this person is really good, I don't know about the murder before, but on the other side of the alley, no one disagrees with him."
