Wang Boyan is now more free and easy, Zhao Gou was the first to consider Wang Boyan in the post of staying in Tokyo, but he replaced Liang Yangzu after he resigned in every possible way, Wang Boyan did not want to be this official, but knew that after Zhao Gou left, he couldn't suppress Wang Shu and others at all, rather than resign in the end, it was better not to do it at the beginning. It is precisely because there is no psychological burden that Wang Boyan sees the key, Li Gang of Huaixi has no ill feelings towards the Dingbei Army, once Chang'an Luoyang is not controlled, in fact, the Great Song Dynasty has a passage that does not need Bianliang.

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Wang Boyan, you put your heart in your stomach, how can Dingbeijun's hand be so long, Zhai Xing and Wang don't seem to be fools;

Wang Boyan said noncommittally: "The strategy of staying behind in Xijing and the Yongxing Army is the key to dealing with the Dingbei Army, but it is not under our control, it directly belongs to Runzhou, and the current situation can be said to be thankless and thankless. Zhai Xing and the others are not fools, and they have to make a choice at a certain point, the Yongxing Army Road is surrounded by the Dingbei Army, and many supplies need the Dingbei Army, and it will be difficult for them to carry it all the time. ”

"I see. Zhao Gou is also a smart person: "When I go to the court, I will pay special attention to two places. ”

The sound of hooves suddenly sounded on the official road, and seven or eight cavalrymen galloped along the avenue from the south, as if they did not care at all about the majesty of King Kang and many officials, which made the already strange atmosphere even more tense; Wang Shu's eyes first moved to these horses, and the guards on the periphery were all Wang Shu's own troops, and they did not stop these horses, indicating that the other party had something unstoppable in his hands. In the blink of an eye, the eight horsemen appeared in front of the long pavilion, and even the arrogant Zhao Gou had curiosity.

There were at least 100 cavalry around the pavilion, all of them veterans of a hundred battles, with dazzling spears and imposing momentum;

The eight horsemen grabbed the reins almost at the same time, and one of the leaders shouted: "Huo Sijiu, a member of the official department, has come to meet King Kang by order, and has brought another holy decree." ”

Everyone was shocked, Bianliang to Runzhou was only a three-day trip, what was the matter Song Huizong couldn't wait, Huo Sijiu's so-called greeting was obviously just a pretense, and coming to read the will was the real purpose; The guards around King Kang and Zhao Gou are secretly on guard, Huo Sijiu is a famous man in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts are unfathomable, is there really no one in Runzhou, and he wants such a master to read the holy decree.

Zhao Gou glanced at the eight horsemen, nodded calmly and said, "Lord Huo, read out the will." ”

Huo Sijiu was calm, and walked quickly into the long pavilion to read out the holy decree, it turned out that Song Huizong opened the door for Zhao Gou to be convenient, and allowed Zhao Gou to enter Runzhou with five hundred horses; Zhao Kai thanked him and was shocked at the same time, Song Huizong seemed to have good intentions on the surface, but the number of five hundred showed that there were spies in Runzhou around him, and this holy decree was actually to warn himself that he could have excessive demands, but he could not make small moves.

Xi Gong, who has never liked to talk, walked into the long pavilion and asked, "Lord Huo will go all the way with King Kang, and please take care of him on the way." ”

Huo Sijiu smiled and said: "That's natural, Lord Xi rest assured, this is a matter within the official duty, and he doesn't dare to relax." ”

Xi Gong had been serving in the northwest and was not familiar with the situation in Bianliang, but he still didn't know that Huo Sijiu had another identity, but seeing that Huo Sijiu was old, he thought that Huo Sijiu was an unknown official in the ministry, and said lightly: "I hope Lord Huo is not perfunctory to me." ”

Zhao Kai and the others looked at each other when they heard this, the ignorant were fearless, and only a person like Xi Gong who didn't know the inside story would say such a thing; Wang Boyan hurriedly explained: "Lord Huo, Lord Xi is worried that someone will interfere along the way, and I hope Lord Huo will deal with it on his behalf when the time comes." ”

Huo Sijiu knew Wang Boyan and knew that this person was an important adviser under Zhao Gou, Shi Li said: "Lord Wang is joking, who is King Kang, how can there be people who don't want to die to mess around." ”

Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun exchanged glances, knowing that Huo Si must have been tricked by someone, Zhao Gou interjected: "Since this is the case, let's set off immediately." ”

Wang Boyan took a step back a little embarrassed, got out of the way, King Kang Zhao Gou walked down the long pavilion, did not sit in the luxurious carriage that had been prepared, but let his subordinates lead a black horse, turned over the horse, waved his hand, and took the lead on the post road, and the five hundred horses followed like a cloud. Wang Boyan's face changed suddenly, and he took two steps back; the officials who were seeing him off were confused by this situation, and they were all stunned, not knowing which play their prince was singing.

There was a deafening long laugh, from Huo Sijiu's mouth: "The prince is mighty." ”

Zhang Jun's already ugly face turned red and white for a while, and he couldn't say a word when he saw Huo Sijiu and the others get on the horse and follow Zhao Gou's army; King Kang's intention is that I am in charge of my territory, but Huo Sijiu didn't take it seriously at all. The sound of horns in the city came and went, adding to the sadness of leaving the sorrow, Zhang Jun had a very bad premonition, Zhao Gou was in Runzhou, or he was in Yingtianfu, I am afraid that he would encounter a series of problems.

Li Gang saw the palace report of King Kang Zhao Gou's return to Beijing in the office room of Xiangyang, "Huo" stood up with a shocked face, and Liu Zhengyan smiled and said: "Lord Li, what happened, even a person like you, who is not discolored at the top of Mount Tai, has reacted. ”

Li Gang's old face turned red and said: "King Kang was recalled to Runzhou, but unfortunately Yang Weizhong was removed from his post and replaced with Zhang Jun as the guard of Ying Tianfu, and Liang Yangzu took over as the guard in Tokyo." “

Liu Zhengyan laughed and said: "God has eyes, the saint is sage, such an arrangement, no matter how stormy it is outside, there will be no moment of sword drawing in Runzhou, Lord Li, the thing you said can be started." ”

Huaixi's army is newly reorganized, lacking enough war horses, Li Gang heard Liu Zhengyan's complaints about the descendants, and once promised to transport war horses from Hedong, Shaanxi Province to replenish, but he knew that Zhai Xing and Wang seemed to be King Kang's people, worried that the war horses would be robbed during transportation, and he did not dare to try it, and now that King Kang is gone, Liu Zhengyan feels that it is an opportunity.

Li Gang's eyes flashed, and he said with certainty: "I have prepared the goods, I will contact the Taiping firm, and send another confidant to Taiyuan to deliver the letter, as long as King Yun allows, the rest of the matter will be easy to do, first ask for a thousand war horses." ”

Li Gang knew that the last place to trade horses was in Qinzhou, and Qinzhou didn't need money to sell horses as long as the goods, but in order not to embarrass Yang Zhi, Li Gang still decided to get the permission of Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, first.
