The background of Jinyi Niang really can't be underestimated, since they can set up a stronghold in Jinlu City, according to the impression that Jinyi Niang of Qingshi City gave Zhao Que, they must also know the officialdom and the market of Jinlu City well.

I don't know how big the power of Jinyi Niang is, if it is all over the Great Xia, Zhao Que will have to deal with it carefully, and even at some point, it is not impossible to eradicate them all together with the help of others.

After all, he only knows a little about Jinyi Niang, but Jinyi Niang seems to be like a treasure to him.

Besides, in the imperial court, is there only one Cao meridian in Jinyiniang?

This matter requires Zhao Que to be cautious, the knife is in his hand, it is good to say, if the knife of Jinyi Niang is in the hands of others, it will be fatal if it is cut on the body.

"Monk Guangyuan doesn't have anything else to say?" Zhao Que asked.

The two copper feathers said successively.

"There are no other words. ”

"Monk Guangyuan seems to be preoccupied, and Mr. Zang only helped him to the point where he can walk. ”

They racked their brains and tried their best to remember Monk Guangyuan's every move that day.

Less.

"General Zhao, that's all, Mr. Zang asked him to stay for a few more days, but Monk Guangyuan insisted on going his own way, he had to go, and he couldn't delay for a moment. ”

Zhao Que didn't think deeply, and the cause and effect of the monk Guangyuan was still hooked up with Shi An, Song turned the mountain to add fuel to the fire, since Guangyuan owed himself a big favor, maybe he could use it one day, as for Guangyuan's own affairs, there must be another hidden secret, he has enough trouble now, why bother.

He gave them one of the ducks in his hand, and he kept one.

"General Xie!" After all, it was given by General Zhao, and the two of them were like treasures.

"Where is Ma Hechuan now?"

Mention this person.

They couldn't hide their embarrassment and said: "My subordinates are incompetent, I only know that Ma Hechuan has arrived in Jinlu City in recent days, but I haven't found out where I live now, but I haven't found out where Ma Hechuan is coming, but the Nalan girl who escorted Ma Hechuan to come, we found her whereabouts in Chang'an Road, and the Nalan girl was extremely alert, as if she was aware of us, and she disappeared in a blink of an eye." ”

Zhao Que shook his head and smiled bitterly, on the way to Jinlu City, he was still praying in his heart, don't be as the spy said, Nalan Changhui really escorted Ma Hechuan all the way to Jinlu City!

"She's not something you can track, and the next time you find her, you won't have to do anything more. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes, what is the situation after the heavy snowfall in Jinlu City?"

The two of them suddenly looked at me, and I looked at you: "General Zhao, the situation is not optimistic, the people in the city are much better than the people outside the city." ”

He frowned.

"Let's be specific. ”

"Yes!"

"This huge snowstorm in Nanyangzhou, which is rare in a century, has damaged countless houses, displaced people, and poorly clothed, although the government has promised to open a warehouse to release grain, but the granary is still closed so far, and there is no sign of opening a warehouse. ”

Zhao Que sighed: "If it goes on like this, the longer the time passes, the more the people's grievances will boil." ”

"General Zhao, the news from Jiang Jinzhou also arrived this morning. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Que's eyes flashed: "Let's talk about it." ”

"The people of Jiangjinzhou officially revolted, and the inside and outside should be combined, and twelve cities were broken in one day. ”

Don't say Zhao Que.

Li Yuanzi, who was eating sugar gourd, and Zhong Yuming, who pricked up his ears to listen to the spy report, were both stunned.

"What did you say? Twelve cities in one day?!Is it twelve cities?" Zhong Yuming's tone trembled slightly.

"Exactly, the momentum of the uprising swept all over the place, the limelight was absent for a while, the officials of the twelve cities had no time to escape, and they all let the people behead in public, and the soldiers who went to quell the rebellion, seeing this momentum, there were countless surrenderers, I am afraid that Jiangjinzhou will fall in the whole territory in a short time!"

Zhao Que had already been mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.

When he was in Qingshi City, on the letter written to him by King Yu, it was that the people of Jiangjinzhou quickly took action, and the imperial court also knew that the pampered imperial battalion soldiers and horses were likely to be defeated by the thief army, and they had already discussed sending troops to Jiangjinzhou to suppress the uprising from Xisai, where the war was relatively stable!

However, in the letter at that time, King Yu's tone was also uncertain, and now, the speculation made by the imperial court early on was not inappropriate, after the drought in Jiangjinzhou, the government was ineffective in dealing with the disaster, and finally brewed a greater disaster.

Jiangjin Prefecture is in chaos, and all parts of Daxia are moving when they hear the wind, and the troubled times may come quietly.

"The rebel army ......" Zhao Que stopped, "What is the surname of the leader of the thief army?"

"Back to General Zhao, the thief army in Jiangjinzhou has a total of three soldiers and horses, and the leaders in the army are as big and small as the number of Yinhe Sands, and now I don't know the name and surname of the leader. Copper Feather replied.

Zhao Que poured himself a cup of tea and took a few sips: "Order." ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"The lark of Jinzhou in the order of Jiang Jiang does not have to meddle in the troubled waters, find out the leaders of the thief army with real power, and after finding out, copy two copies, one for me and one for King Yu. ”

"Yes!"

"In addition, the matter is urgent to transfer two Silver Feathers from the nearest place to Jinlu City. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Que turned the teacup, thinking about the direction of Xisai, southern Xinjiang, and northern territory after the accident in Jiangjinzhou.

He beat the Hanshan Dynasty to the bones, there will be no large-scale attack in a short time, and the imperial court transferred troops from Xisai, and the strategy seems to be right. The southern Xinjiang and the northern border have always been in a big war, and the Dayue Dynasty and the Tiermo Dynasty of the grassland are like negotiating a good deal, and they are crazy to knock the Daxia border pass, and they have been fighting for so long, it is not as simple as sparing blood.

But.

Although he beat the Hanshan Dynasty dizzy and suffered heavy losses, if he was replaced by a Hanshan general, once he learned that Xisai's soldiers were transferred to the interior to quell the rebellion, he would definitely raise troops to attack Xisai again, first, to grasp the hard-won opportunity, second, as long as there is a victory, it can boost the morale of the country, and third, if the time and place are favorable and the Xisai is defeated, he can drive straight in, annex the entire western border of Daxia, and then condescend and look at the Central Plains.

Moreover, Zhao Gouchen retreated to the second line, and was regarded by the Son of Heaven as a famous and powerless auxiliary general, everyone in the world knows that without a Zhao Gouchen who killed the cold of the Hanshan Dynasty, there is one more champion Hou Lin Chaotian who eats all day long, no matter how you look at it, it is a wonderful thing that cannot be wonderful!

"Wait, tell Pan Jitao and Shi Jingang that if Xisai loses, immediately lead the troops to retreat to Fengshahe Prefecture and defend it!"

However, Zhao Que thought about it, and then said: "No need, the Hanshan Dynasty let me fight so many elites, it shouldn't be able to break Xisai." ”

The Hanshan Dynasty he killed was from bottom to top, all trembling, and the Hanshan country he killed must have Bai Aya, even if he attacked Xisai again, as long as his generals who stayed in Xisai were not suppressed by Lin Chaotian, there was a good chance that they would be able to hold on.

"General Zhao, are you sure you don't want to talk to General Pan and General Shi?" asked Tong Yu cautiously.

Zhao Que was 10,000 miles away from Xisai, and he did not know what the current situation of Xisai was, and this was also an important reason for his indecision.

However, since it is known that the people of Jiang Jinzhou are serious about what to do, and the way the imperial court responds is also clear, if there is no preparation in the slightest, the general trend will be gone.

"Alas, make them do the camera. ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers and horses of the imperial camp are not all incompetent, and the planning of the imperial court is also suspected of taking the gradually growing Sisai army.

It is he, the general of the auxiliary state, and the military generals of King Yu's family who are involved.

"Have you figured out the officialdom and rivers and lakes of Jinlu City?" Zhao Que then asked.

The two larks did not dare to conceal: "Ten thousand sins under him." ”

"What's not guilty, I understand that there are few people, so let's go down and get busy if I don't have anything else to do. ”

Zhong Yuming also exited the room with the two.

Li Yuanzi finished eating the last sugar gourd, wiped his mouth and asked, "Does your old department still listen to your orders?"

When Zhao Que heard her words, he immediately laughed: "How can you not listen to my orders?

"The human heart is unpredictable!"

"I naturally know that there was a big war back then, and I used these four words to divide the Hanshan army and make the generals lose harmony. ”

"Don't you think this can't happen to you?"

Zhao Que's eyes were firm, and he looked at Li Yuanzi word by word and said softly: "Impossible!"

Breathe a sigh of relief.

He continued: "If I had this worry, I would have died on the battlefield long ago. ”

There was a knock on the door.

Open the door.

Xiao Eryu smiled and asked, "Guest officer, the wine and food you ordered, may I ask, do you have time to eat now?"

Zhao Que nodded and smiled: "Send it up." ”

By the way, I took out a few pennies and stuffed them into Xiao Er.

Xiao Er smiled more and more sincerely, helped close the door, and notified the kitchen to serve the food.

"Your people are really thoughtful. Li Kite exclaimed.

Zhao Que opened the oil paper of the duck, and the aroma wandered in the room in an instant.

"Observing words and looking at the mood and taking precautions are all things that should be done. ”

Li Yuanzi pulled over the stool and sat down, her expression suddenly darkened: "You have arrived in Jinlu City, I will leave tomorrow." ”

"Well, the female lady is not staying, you follow me, it is definitely not a good thing for you, your current business must get rid of the aftermath of the wedding dress technique, and revive the prestige of hating Akiyama!"

"I know I know, every day I repeat these things to myself in the bottom of my heart. Thank you for taking care of me during this time. As for your life-saving grace, I will keep it in my heart, and I will also remember it firmly in my hatred of Akiyama. ”

"You've got it all right. ”

"No! In my eyes, your kindness is far from being evened!" Li Yuanzi insisted.

Zhao Que was helpless, and when the wine and food were put on the table, he used chopsticks to separate the duck: "Eat." ”

"If one day, I ask you for help from thousands of miles away, will you come thousands of miles to save me?" Li Yuanzi poured him a full wine and asked in a low voice.

He replied as a matter of course: "Of course I will save you, you are my friend, my friend asks me for help, if I stand by and watch, I don't need to be ridiculed by others, I will look down on myself." ”

Li Yuanzi clapped his hands and smiled: "I have written down your words." ”

"Well, make a note of it! Let's eat. ”

Zhao Que took the lead in tasting the duck, and Li Yuanzi took out a spring cake, wrapped it in vegetables, and sent it to his mouth.

Nothing was said all night.

The sky is bright.

Li Kite quietly got up, dressed neatly, and pushed open the door.

She looked at Zhao Que's room, hesitated again and again, only sighed softly, turned around and went down to the second floor, turned back three times in one step, went to the stable with difficulty, and deliberately led the jujube red horse that Zhao Que was riding.

Turn over and get on the horse.

Carrying a red tassel gun.

Ride the dust.

There were small snowflakes floating in the sky, falling on Li Kite, who was in red clothes, red shoes and red tassel guns, like a wonderful pen hidden in the painting pavilion.

Zhao Que sighed and slowly closed his eyes.

Say goodbye in a hurry, I wonder if we can see each other again in my lifetime?

Shen Shen Shen is playing the world, there is no trace, and the hope of eradicating the eight-phase dragon python is all in Shen Shen's body, if you don't find Shen Shen's doctor before the eight-phase dragon python is back, I am afraid that we will be able to see each other again in the next life.

He couldn't sleep anyway, so he simply got up, put on his robe, and took advantage of the fact that there were few people in the early morning, and he planned to take a walk in Jinlu City.

This Nanyang Yangzhou city had encountered war in the former dynasty Suzong, the general who defended the city at that time, could not hold out, no matter how the rebels coerced and tempted, regardless of the resistance, held on for three months, the city cut off food, when there was really no food, the people changed their children and eaten, the general invented a stone mill that wore human flesh, grinding the flesh and blood of the people, and feeding the soldiers of the defenders.

After another two months, the enemy army finally broke through the city, and in front of them was a terrible human purgatory.

The people are in shape, and there is no one of the three.

Subsequently, the previous dynasty finally exterminated the rebels after hardships, and this important town was also filled with numbers.

In the battle of the founding of the Great Xia Kingdom, the city encountered several wars, but Taizu attached great importance to it, and sent troops to help each time, although there was panic, dead and wounded, but it did not reproduce the tragedy of defending the city.

Zhao Que walked around the city and didn't realize that he had reached Chang'an Road.

It is said that Taizu rode a horse into the city, the horse whip pointed to this road and said with a smile, I stepped on this road, it is said that it was a long time of peace and stability, and in the future, this road is called Chang'an Road.

Taizu created a generation of foundation, the use of soldiers can be called a fairy hand, the south and the north war, killing countless enemies, Zhao Que studied the book of war written by Taizu, often read can not extricate himself, clapping his hands.

He thought again, if he was replaced by the general who defended the city of the previous dynasty, in the face of a force that was several times superior to his own side, could he win more with less?

"It's hard to say that less is more, so that the people in the city don't have to go through the human purgatory, the general can still do it. ”

Light snow day.

In the early morning, there were shops open on Chang'an Road, so he found a breakfast shop, had a hot breakfast, and returned to the inn.

Outside the inn stood a middle-aged man with a scarred face, dressed in a strong suit, and Xiaoxue fell on his head, dyeing his black hair white.

When the man saw Zhao Que, he immediately clenched his fists and bent over, and said respectfully: "Hello, sir, under the 'Ten Ghosts'." ”

Zhao Que squinted at him, four feet away.

"Ten ghosts? I thought there were ten of you. ”

"Last year, there were 10 people, and nine people died in a mission. ”

"Is the mission accomplished?"

"Back to Mr. Reply, it's done. ”

Zhao Que nodded, passed by him with his hands, and walked forward: "Come in." ”

Xiao Er yawned, "Guest officer, I asked him to come in to avoid the snow, he had to stand outside stupidly, saying that he was waiting for someone." ”

"He's my friend. ”

"Oh, do you want hot water? Alas, it's getting colder. ”

"Let's have a pot of hot water. ”

"Okay, you can wait a minute, I'll send you a room. ”

"I'm tired. ”

Shut the door.

Zhao Que seemed to be talking to a friend he hadn't seen for many years: "How did you find me?"

"I went to Bluestone City, but I didn't see Mr., thinking that Mr. might have arrived in the state city, so I hurried to the state city, and when I arrived at the state city, the lark found me and told you where you lived. ”

The ten ghosts said as they sent the appointment document to Zhao Que's hands.

"The title of the Ten Ghosts in the Secret Department has now become your own title?"

"Yes. ”

"Come from afar, sit down and rest, and come with me to meet someone. ”
