Zhao Ran was silent for a long time, and after a while, he had a drink with Zhang Luo to relieve the unhappiness in his heart.

I only heard Zhang Luo say: "In short, in the year of Hongyuan, I had a very unhappy life, and I wanted to go into battle to fight, but now my army and the Xia people are facing each other across the Baihe River, and it is difficult to fight, so I am really uncomfortable." Now that I have experienced such an experience in Lushan, I have already had the intention of retreating. ”

Zhao Ran was a little surprised: "Zhang Shouyu is now in the prime of life, and he is in command of affairs, sitting on one side, how can he retreat lightly?"

Zhang Luo said: "I have been in the army for many years, I know my own family affairs, and commanding the affairs is already the head, and if I want to go up, where is it so easy." I joined the army as soon as Bai Ding, and there was no one in the court to support me, and wanting to be promoted to the commander was tantamount to a fool's dream. Don't hide it from Abbot Zhao, Zhang is now more successful than when he was young, I am content with this title, mainly I want to take the few remaining brothers home, and I can't bear to die on the border. ”

"Zhang Shouyu wants to go back to the capital?"

"Yes, rich and noble but not returning to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, it is best to go back to the capital, it is really not good, and I hope to be closer to home. After all, I have been away from home for so many years, and I have not served my parents, which is really unfilial. I talked to the Du Prison Yuan about this matter, and he agreed to help me plan, but I pondered that although the Du Prison Yuan retreated from Lushan, it was probably not easy to move this matter for me—at least for a year or two. Saying that, he smiled to himself: "I originally planned to return with the Du Prison Yuan today, but the Du Prison said that it was not suitable, and now I want to avoid suspicion ......."

"What about Zhou Buzheng? Zhou Buzheng has always been the governor of western Sichuan before, and Zhang Shouyu is his old subordinate, right?

"Walked by...... Zhou Buzheng is a well-known Jinshi and an official gentry family, so he doesn't look down on me as an old man in the army. In addition, there are countless guards in the various armies and guards in Sichuan, and Zhou Buzheng can take care of a small four-grade affair like me? I went to visit him at the end of last year, and he only said that he would wait for the right time......

Looking at the frustration and loneliness in Zhang Luo's eyes, Zhao Ran felt compassion. For this former "comrade-in-arms in the same trench", Zhao Ran naturally has a sense of closeness, not to mention that Zhang Luo was born and died for the Ming Dynasty for 18 years at the border, and has made countless achievements, such a hero, Zhao Ran still wants him to have a good ending, if he really dies on the battlefield - although this is the fate of a soldier, Zhao Ran will sigh for him that fate is unfair.

So he asked, "When will Zhang Shouyu return to Sichuan?"

Zhang Luo said: "I'll leave tomorrow." ”

"Is the boat hired?"

"It's natural. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Then let's go together, and we can have a companion on the road? I can also save some boat fare." ”

Zhang Luo smiled and said, "It's good, I'm afraid of causing trouble to Abbot Zhao." ”

"It's okay, I'm different from Du Prison Yuan, this time I always asked about Du Prison Yuan's case, and it is right for him to avoid suspicion, but I don't have to do it. ”

"Well, I have moved to Xunyang Town at the foot of the mountain yesterday to rest and sleep, and I will wait for Abbot Zhao to accompany me. Abbot Zhao can go to Zhendong Honglai Inn to find me after finishing the ......"

As he was talking, the bartender knocked on the door and came in to change the tea, and suddenly saw Zhang Luo pause, looked at the corridor, and said to Zhao Ran: "Abbot wait a moment." got up and walked out quickly, and shouted loudly at the door: "Lao Luo, it's really you!"

I saw Zhang Luo and a thin man at the door hugging each other, laughing each other. After a while, Zhang Luo took this person into the private room and said to the bartender: "Hurry up and add food and wine." He also introduced to Zhao Ran: "Abbot Zhao, this is my friend, Luo Hong, known as Luo Shenjian in the army, with a beaded arrow in one hand, he is really superb." He was transferred from Baima Mountain in April last year and is now serving as a thousand households in Wuchangwei. ”

Zhao Ran got up and met Luo Hong, and Luo Hong sang respectfully: "I've seen Abbot Zhao." ”

Zhao Ran asked, "Does Luo Qianhu have any friends?"

Luo Hong said: "I passed by here and heard that the boat family said that the three stones and one tea in Lushan were very good, so I came to taste it." Just a few pro-soldiers, let them eat by themselves. ”

Zhang Luo asked, "Where is Lao Luo going?"

Luo Hong replied: "Brother Zhang, I am going to Dasheng Pass, and the Ministry of War will send three thousand households from Wuchangwei to Dasheng Pass to change defenses, and I will be on this errand." The brothers are all eating by the river, and I have to come up to try something new, and after a meal, I have to continue to take the boat, and I don't want to meet you, brother. ”

So the three of them sat around and drank together.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Luo said to Luo Hong: "Old Luo, this Abbot Zhao, do you know which Abbot Zhao is?"

Luo Hong's eyes lit up: "But Zhao Miaozhu of Guyang County is now the abbot?"

Zhang Luo laughed: "You have to count your cleverness!"

Luo Hong got up and raised his glass: "Ye Xueguan is a big discussion, Abbot Zhao has a great scenery, I know this matter to all the guards of the Song Domain, without Abbot Zhao's advice, where is the pattern of today's Song Domain?

Zhao Ran hurriedly got up and finished drinking, and couldn't help but wonder: "Do I have such a big reputation?

Luo Hong said with a smile: "The abbot may not know, Governor Zhou, well, now it's Zhou Buzheng, Zhou Buzheng is full of praise for the abbot, and the abbot was mentioned in several military meetings before I left the Song Domain last year." ”

Zhang Luo added: "After Governor Zhou was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, the governor Xia who took over also mentioned the abbot, saying that the abbot was quite successful in governing the people's livelihood. ”

The new governor of Xia is Xia Ji, who was born in the first year of Jiajing, and was first appointed to the head of the household department. Jiajing ten years in addition to the Qiantang County order, and then moved to Hangzhou Prefecture to promote officials. In the seventeenth year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the capital and the governor of Tongzhi, and in June of the nineteenth year, he was appointed as the prefect of Long'an.

Zhao Ran still remembers that last year, Xia Ji came to Junshan Temple to inspect, he and he had been together for a day, Xia Ji said a lot of words of encouragement and value to himself, but he did not expect that after serving as the prefect of Long'an Mansion for a year, he became the governor of western Sichuan in July of the twentieth year of Jiajing, which is equivalent to a promotion of half a grade.

Zhao Ran humbled himself and asked Xia Ji about his current situation, and the three of them talked about Luo Hong's transfer.

Zhang Luo said enviously: "Lao Luo, how can you change the defense from Wuchang to the victory pass? This is the gateway to the west of the capital, the important land of the country, brother, you are really lucky." After arriving in the capital, under the nose of the military department, as long as you do a good job, it is easy to command and command. ”

Luo Hong smiled bitterly: "Although the future looks good, this trip is not good." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang was slightly curious, and seeing that Luo Hong was a little hesitant, he immediately said: "Abbot Zhao is his own person, there is nothing bad to say." ”

Luo Hong said: "That's not to avoid Abbot Zhao, it's just that the situation is a little complicated, and I don't know where to start for a while." ”
