"Oh, is this a letter from Zhang Wei?"

Passing the envelope from the secretary next to him, Xiao Feng crushed the sealing mud that was still intact on it and took out the envelope inside.

"Are you asking me to send someone over? Could it be that Junzhou is really so dangerous?"

After seeing it, Xiao Feng fell into silence again, and only raised his head after a while, but he instructed the little girl beside him: "You go and call Duan Ling, I have something to find him!"

"Yes, is it Minister Duan?"

The little girl was obviously stunned, and quickly lowered her head, looking extremely frightened.

Xiao Feng shook his head secretly, restrained his tone slightly, and said, "I just discussed things with him, but I don't mean to blame." Wang Ke, you don't want to be so nervous, it makes me think something big has happened. ”

"This ...... This one...... I ......"

Wang Ke felt too nervous, and couldn't help lowering his head, his cheeks were as red as apples.

The little girl in front of her is Xiao Feng's secretary who has been re-found since Zhang Wei left, after all, she is busy with official business, and if there is no secretary to help, she can't handle these affairs.

It's a pity that Wang Ke is smart and smart, and he graduated from the top three in Huaxia Women's College, so naturally he is not in vain. But I don't know if it's because I'm too well protected, and if my words are a little harder, I will show such a cowardly appearance.

Although Xiao Feng felt a little uncomfortable, he felt that no one did better than this little guy, so he could only accept it.

"Forget it. You'd better go find Duan Feng, but do you know where Duan Feng is?" Xiao Feng sighed slightly, but vaguely regretted why he was in a hurry to transfer Zhang Wei away.

Wang Ke immediately closed his head and replied, "I know this." He is now in the Ministry of Industry, saying that he wants to inspect the newly developed weapons. ”

If you talk about the advantages, this ability to remember is too convenient, you only need to ask anything, and you can give an answer immediately, which is also the reason why Xiao Feng will leave it, the problems on the character can naturally be slowly modified in the future, but there is no big problem.

"Now that you know, go ahead. Xiao Feng commanded.

"I, I know. ”

Wang Ke was still a little scared, and left the prime minister's office quickly, as if this was the lair of some jackal, tiger and leopard.

Xiao Feng shook his head slightly and laughed at himself: "Why do you feel that I seem to be too serious? turned his head, but he was facing the bronze mirror, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, pretending to smile.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

A familiar voice sounded, which made Xiao Feng stunned, and quickly sat down again, his eyes fell on Xiao Xing, who was standing in front of him, although he was extremely happy in his heart, and wanted to hold the person in front of him in his arms and take pity on him, but he also knew that this place was a public place, and he still had to control it a little.

Xiao Feng coughed before pretending to be calm, and complained, "It's nothing, it's just why did you come back suddenly? Why don't you inform me in advance, so that I can be prepared?"

"Alas!"

Sighing in a low voice, Xiao Xing smiled: "It's only been a few days since I left Chang'an, there's no need to be so extravagant." Otherwise, if someone listens to you, I'm afraid that someone will say that you are wasting your father. ”

"How dare they?"

Xiao Fengliu raised his eyebrows and scolded lightly: "It's just to celebrate my sister's birthday, where is it a waste?" As he spoke, he got up from his seat, hugged Xiao Xing in his arms, and said, "Let me see, have you lost a lot of money during the time you went to Taiyuan?"

Although Xie Xiaoxing felt happy in his heart, his face pretended to be angry, blocked the outstretched hand, and complained: "Sister, don't always be so frivolous. This is the Prime Minister's office, what if someone sees it?"

"What if someone sees me? Xiao Feng scoffed.

"Alas. Xiao Xing sighed secretly and hurriedly jumped away: "Sister, you look quite dignified on weekdays, why do you look like this at this time?" It's fine if it's in a private space, but in this public place, she can't let go.

Xiao Feng smiled: "What's the appearance? Anyway, there is no one left and right, we are also sisters, so it doesn't matter if you say something private." But as soon as he turned his body, he reached out and grabbed Xiao Yue.

There was a "creak", but the door was pushed open in time.

Wang Ke and Duan Feng walked into the office one after another, but they saw this scene in their eyes, Duan Ling didn't care, after all, he had long known the temperament of his lord, and he was already surprised, but Wang Ke was like a plaster, and he looked dumbfounded.

"My lord, you-you-"

Xiao Feng was also surprised, and hurriedly retracted his appearance, pretending to be calm and complaining: "I didn't expect you to find Duan Ling so quickly? It seems that I did not choose the wrong person." ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Xing also took a step back, avoiding Xiao Feng's claws, she straightened her slightly messy clothes, but her eyes skimmed over Duan Feng, and smiled: "Duan Feng, long time no see! Since the last farewell, you have now been promoted to Minister of Defense, congratulations." ”

"Isn't it thanks to the cultivation of the lord? otherwise, I would have become a dry bone in the soil a long time ago, how could I have this day?" Duan Ling smiled, then showed a hint of worry and asked, "By the way, how is my dog doing now?"

When Duan Ling asked to go to the Central Plains, he was still fighting against the Mongol army, and he really couldn't spare time to practice it, this matter has always been very regrettable, and now after seeing Xiao Yue appear, he naturally wants to ask about his son's condition.

"Is it Duan Ling? He's in good condition now, and after the previous battles, he's grown a lot, and he's not as easily irritable as before. Moreover, its cultivation has also increased a lot, and it is currently stationed in Taiyuan. Xiao Yue replied with a smile.

Duan Ling felt a little comforted at this time, but his brows were still sad: "That's good, that's good." It's just that this kid is not a human being, and he didn't even say a word to me before leaving? When he comes back, he will definitely scold me well!" Sensing Xiao Feng's slightly dissatisfied eyes, he immediately woke up and complained, "I almost forgot, I don't know what you are looking for me, lord?"

Wang Ke next to him was still at a loss, always standing in place, and he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Xing smiled and walked straight out, but brought Wang Ke out and complained, "My lord, they have something to say, so let's avoid it first." ”

"Oh...... I understand. ”

Wang Ke was still so confused, and his uneasy mood gradually calmed down under Xiao Xing's comfort, but his mind was still chaotic, and he couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Seeing the two of them leaving, Xiao Feng felt relieved, spit out the turbidity in his chest, and began to command: "It's nothing, mainly to listen to what Zhang Wei said, there seem to be some problems in Junzhou, so I want to transfer a few people from you to see if I can cooperate with him to solve these things? After all, Junzhou is located on the Han River, and the defenders of Xiangyang only need to go upstream, and they can directly attack Junzhou." I've always been very concerned about this. ”

"So that's it?" Duan Feng thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, why don't you let Chen Ziang and Lei Min go to assist him?"

"Chen Ziang?"

Seeing Xiao Feng's puzzled look, Duan Feng immediately explained: "That Chen Ziang once helped Liu Bingkun exterminate the bandits entrenched in the area of Fort Guide. And that Lei Min also made contributions in the battle of Ding'an, and they are all rare talents. If the two of them go, they should be able to help Zhang Wei successfully eradicate the local bandits. ”

"So that's it?"

Xiao Feng's eyebrows stretched, his heart relaxed a little, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will leave this matter to you." Remember, this Junzhou is the key to stepping into the Yangtze River, and there must be no mistakes, understand?"

Duan Feng responded: "My subordinates understand, and they will definitely handle this matter." ”

After receiving the order, he waited until he returned to the Ministry of National Defense, and immediately sent people to interrogate, and after a few days, Lei Min and Chen Ziang returned to Chang'an City, and only then did they walk down from the railway station, and they saw Duan Feng with a solemn face in front of the door.

The two of them hurriedly stood up and saluted a military salute.

"Subordinate Duan Feng/Lei Min, I have seen Minister Duan. ”

"This is not a barracks, so there's no need to be so polite. Of course, these days, I am also fortunate to be you. In order to exterminate those remnants, you two must have suffered a lot. You see, there's a lot less flesh on this arm. Duan Feng greeted them directly, as if facing his own sons, patting them on the shoulders and arms affectionately, and constantly muttering some considerate words in his mouth.

Although Chen Ziang and Lei Min felt embarrassed, Duan Feng was too enthusiastic, so he had to stiffen in place and let the other party check his condition.

"I'm glad to see you come back in its entirety. ”

After a while, Duan Feng made sure that the two of them were okay before he stopped.

Chen Ziang seized this opportunity and interjected and asked, "Minister Duan, those are just some remnants of the defeated army, and they are not a threat. It's just Minister Duan, why did you suddenly recall us? Could it be that something happened in Chang'an City?" His eyebrows frowned slightly, revealing a little worry.

"Yes and no!"

Duan Feng shook his head first, then nodded.

"After all, Chang'an City has a lord in charge, and who can fight against the lord? It's just that recently I heard Zhang Wei say that there have been changes in Junzhou, and there are often Song Dynasty bandits who cross the border to harass them. In order to be able to exterminate these water bandits, I brought you two here. ”

"So that's it?" Chen Ziang was thoughtful.

Lei Min also frowned slightly, and asked, "It's just that where did the water bandits come from? Why do they dare to attack us? Could it be that they have the support of the Song Dynasty behind them?"

Out of instinct, the two of them obviously sensed that there must be some important information hidden behind this matter.

Duan Feng shook his head and replied rather annoyedly, "I don't know." You also know that the third phase of the railway has just been planned, and the construction has not started at all. Although Najunju is adjacent to Shangzhou, it takes seven days to arrive. We don't know anything about Junju at all. Why else would I bring you two here?"

"In this way, the purpose of our trip to Junzhou this time is not only to exterminate the water bandits?" Chen Ziang asked the question in his heart.

Duan Feng nodded and said, "That's right. You should have seen the topographic map, too. Najunzhou is located on the Han River, and it only takes one day to reach Xiangyang along the Han River, which can be said to be very convenient. ”

The distance from Shangzhou to Junzhou and from Junzhou to Xiangyang is basically similar, but because the road from Shangzhou to Junzhou is full of rolling mountains and rivers, it takes at least seven days to arrive. However, Junzhou can reach Xiangyang through the Han River and only need a day's journey.

The difference between the two can be said to be a world of difference.

"Xiangyang? In this way, could it be that the lord really has the intention of winning the world?"

There was a trace of sadness in Lei Min's eyes, but he thought of his deceased comrades-in-arms, especially his old boss Wang Gu, who had taught him a lot of things.

For war, Lei Min is really tired of it.

Duan Feng saw it in his eyes, and couldn't bear to deceive the person in front of him, so he had to nod: "That's right." As you know, the Mongols have always been eyeing us, and even the Song Dynasty has a grudge against us and has always wanted to exterminate us. In desperation, the lord had no choice but to make such a plan in case Na Xiangyang suddenly sent troops. And you should also understand that only by completely unifying the world can there be peace and harmony for the people. Of course, I believe that the lord has his own arrangements, and he will not let the sacrifices of Er and others go down the drain like the Song Dynasty. ”

Duan Feng had no doubt about this.

Because he knew that his lord had always liked to be well prepared, and he was even willing to lurk for a year, three years, five years, or even ten years.

Just like their successful uprising, they have also put in more than ten years of hard work behind it, knowing that the Battle of Irikawa and the Northern Expedition War, which has only passed for a long time, have also prepared for more than ten years of hard work.

This time, in order to be able to solve the crisis of the Song Dynasty, it is natural to be well prepared.

"Okay. Since the lord has asked for this, then I will naturally follow the order and completely exterminate those water bandits. ”

Lei Min responded, but his expression was quite calm, his dark pupils were full of sadness, as if he was still thinking about his comrades.

Chen Ziang patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "It's just some water bandits, there's no need to be so serious! And you also know that these water bandits are so powerful, if you don't completely exterminate them, where will you come from? Don't forget, isn't the reason why you and I are here is to ask for this prosperous world?"

"Yes, then I'll leave it to you all the way. Lei Min smiled.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along harmoniously, Duan Feng felt a little relieved: "Since the two of you are also ready, then I will leave the rest to you." Is that okay?"

"Of course. ”

The words sounded in unison, Lei Min and Chen Ziang looked at each other, and immediately laughed, and secretly made up their minds in their hearts.

This time, it is necessary to let the Song Dynasty understand that the Red Phoenix Army is not an existence to be messed with.
