Chapter 393: Candidates

  The crown prince Zhao Huan's face was happy, if this was the case, wouldn't it be a matter of legend, but Hou Meng and Fan Zhixu's faces were even more ugly, and Hou Meng then asked Yang Zhi, "Where is Song Jiang's bottom line?"

  Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Lord Hou, I'm not a roundworm in Song Jiang's stomach, can I ask, how is the war on the front line now?"

  Hou Meng said with his head that "General Hu Yanzhuo and Song Jiang are facing off in the Liangshanbo area, Song Jiang camped in Liangshan, but plundered a large number of ships, General Hu Yan could not judge whether Song Jiang was preparing to defend or looking for an opportunity to break through, Dengzhou Zhangcheng's Flying Fish Battalion has gone to help in the battle, the two sides have fought more than ten times, it can be said that they have won and lost each other. ”

  Yang Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Hu Yanzhuo will be defeated, Song Jiang is waiting for an opportunity, he wants a living Hu Yanzhuo." ”

  Hou Meng's heart moved: "Song Jiang wants to call Yanzhuo to be the intermediary of the message?"

  "Alternate scenario. Although Yang Zhi didn't believe in Shi Nai'an's romance, Yang Zhi knew that Song Jiang was by no means so simple, and he could convince in advance that someone as arrogant as Xiao Li Guanghuarong would not be a reckless man; Yang Zhi thought about it and said, "Song Jiang probably still believes in the people who Hua Rong originally followed, and if he wants to spread the word, he should be tested from there first;

  Fan Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "At that time, we felt strange, since Song Jiang had severed the father-son relationship with Song Taigong of Songjiazhuang, Song Jiang was a rebellion, and it was impossible to implicate Song Taigong; ”

  Yang Zhi's heart sank after hearing this: "Sure enough—"

  "You expected that?" Fan Zhixu said calmly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so worried about the candidate, Song Jiazhuang belongs to the Plum Blossom Gate in the Imperial City Division, Lord Hou, so I was a little worried from the beginning, whether Song Jiang is from the Plum Blossom Gate or not, Song Jiang wants to get in touch with the Plum Blossom Gate, this is the method of betting at both ends." Those who go to Zhao'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have any satisfactory results. ”

  What Fan Zhixu left behind was that whoever presided over the recruitment of Song Jiang would make his own arrow target, and if there was a slight mistake, the people who were impeached in the book would rush up. If Cai Jing is still the prime minister, Cai Jing is somewhat powerful, and he will not easily change his words about the board with his own hands, but the current prime minister Wang Huang is young after all, and the style he seeks is to avoid trouble, and Hou Meng's going to Dongping Mansion is full of risks, which is also the reason why various departments don't want this credit.

  "Plum Blossom Gate?" Hou Meng obviously knew about this, and said with a smile, "Plum Blossom Gate is now not as strong as before, pig iron Buddha Cui Zhicheng was also driven away from Cangzhou by the Chai family, Yin Jian will definitely be able to suppress Plum Blossom Gate in Hebei, but I think that now is the time to recruit An Song Jiang, and what is lacking is only officials who dare to do this." ”

  Hou Meng's original intention was the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi, but after learning the news of the Liao State Mission, Hou Meng knew that he needed to find a new candidate, at this moment, whether it was the Imperial City Division or the Criminal Department, they did not dare to send Yang Zhi to Bianliang;

  No one answered Hou Meng's words, not that no one recommended it, but that this kind of offending people not only takes risks, but also ruins their reputation if they don't get it right, even if it is a person like Tong Guan who has no reputation to scruple about, he is not willing to step on it for no reason. Yang Zhi swept the corner of his eye, but saw a subtle smile on the corner of Gao Yu's mouth, that kind of smug smile, as if everything was under his control.

  With the old qualifications of the prince Zhao Huan and Tong Guan, Gao Yu's sense of existence is not high, and if Yang Zhi had not had a deep grudge with Gao Yu, he would not have paid attention to Gao Yu; in Yang Zhi's impression, Gao Yu is not a person who is a strategist, so where does his self-confidence come from? Yang Zhi thought for a while, and said, "Since Hu Yanzhuo is confronting Song Jiang, it is better to hand over the matter of Zhao'an to Hu Yanzhuo, and there is no shortage of capable people among the generals in the army." ”

  Hou Meng looked at Gao Yu and said, "Captain Gao, there are two pioneers in Huyanzhuo's army, one is Han Tao, the regimental training envoy of Chenzhou, and the other is Peng Xi, the regimental training envoy of Yingzhou, can you arrange for one of these two people to go to the Songjiang military camp to negotiate." ”

  "This. Gao Yu was obviously a little hesitant, "Lord Hou, you know, these two people are not such good talkers, and I'm worried that they may not be able to complete this matter." ”

  Hou Meng said sincerely, "Captain Gao, Cai Xiang is no longer asking about things, he will leave Bianliang tomorrow, it is good to give him a face, to appease people's hearts, and to give those people a chance." As soon as the affairs of Song Jiang were over, the war in the north could be over, and the imperial court could fully support Tong Taiwei's southward campaign in terms of ordnance and food. ”

  So it turned out that when Cai Jing was in power, he had specially taken care of the four military towns around Bianliang, and the salary of the 80,000 garrisons was more than five times that of the same army, and twice as high as the salary of the forbidden army in Bianliang. These 80,000 people were regarded as Cai Jing's henchmen, and those who served as soldiers either retired or changed their stations, but the officers were branded as Cai Jing. Presumably, Han Tao and Peng Xi are among them, and this time they were transferred to Hu Yanzhuo's subordinates, I am afraid that they were just looking for an opportunity to harm the two of them.

  Yang Zhi suddenly woke up, since Hu Yanzhuo is Gao Yu's subordinate, will Gao Yu have already arranged the negotiation between Hu Yanzhuo and Song Jiang, Hu Yanzhuo is the best to destroy Song Jiang, if Hu Yanzhuo is defeated, he can justifiably propose to recruit An Song Jiang, which is also the reason why Hou Meng wants to recruit An Song Jiang in Bianliang to meet the main force, after all, in this matter, Hou Meng's operation may have disrupted Gao Yu's original opportunity.

  Yang Zhi wanted to test whether there was such a possibility, and after Gao Yu said that he needed to think about it, he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you can ask Yanzhuo to arrange for someone to contact Song Jiang, find out the bottom line of the other party, and when you really want to enter Zhao'an, you will send someone from the imperial court." To find out the bottom line, it is also possible to find two people in the army who can speak well, and it is also possible to find people who have a good relationship with Song Jiang in the past from Qingzhou or Dongping. ”

  Hou Meng agreed, "Gao Taiwei, otherwise, we will do both, you inform Hu Yanzhuo to arrange people, and I will immediately repair the book to Dongping Mansion and let them go to Song Jiang or the Song family's past friends." ”

  The crown prince Zhao Huan and the king of Yun Zhao Kai were present, Hou Meng's request was lowered to such a low level, and it was really difficult to explain if the prince Gao Yu still agreed. Like the dragon of the dragon, please collect the dragon x.
