Xiangyang, on the edge of the Yangtze River.

Because of a quarrel with Lu Wende, Lu Wenhuan felt annoyed, so he took a fishing rod to the edge of the Yangtze River and began fishing.

Of course, his skills were not good, and from morning to noon, he only caught a few flat flowers. Seeing that his results were not very satisfactory, Lu Wenhuan was annoyed, so he threw the fishing rod aside, sulking to himself.

Lu appeased the envoy. So you're here?"

Turning his head, Lu Wenhuan saw Qiu Zhenheng walking quickly, and replied angrily: "Of course." Where else would I be? And what are you looking for me for? Don't you want to persuade me to reconcile with Jingxiu and him? I'm sorry, it's impossible!"

Qiu Zhenheng is Lu Wende's staff, and he gets along very well with Lu Wende on weekdays, so Lu Wenhuan said this.

Qiu Zhenheng smiled, didn't care much, but walked to the river, picked up the fishing rod that was thrown next to him, skillfully got the bait, and threw it into the river: "Of course not!"

"What's that?"

Lu Wenhuan continued to ask.

Qiu Zhenheng laughed and replied, "Is this important?"

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall. You are Jingxiu's trusted person, you can't come here without any purpose, just catch up with me. Lu Wenhuan said.

Qiu Zhenheng pretended to be helpless, and squeezed his face that couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, you can see it." After that, seeing the purpose of this arrival, he said earnestly: "I can't hide it, I came here today to hope that you can come forward on our behalf and meet Zhang Wei, the governor of Najunzhou." After all, the visitor is a guest, and since he is here, of course we can't be unprepared, right?"

And so it was. Let me talk to that Zhang Wei? I must have understood that with our strength, we could not fight against the Huaxia Army, so we came up with this idea. ”

After listening to Qiu Zhenheng's words, Lu Wenhuan couldn't help but show a little disdain: "Seriously, every time I hear him say something about Kuangfu Sheji, I am really bored. Can't he change his head?" Obviously, until now, Lu Wenhuan has not forgotten the scene when he was reprimanded by the other party at the dinner table.

"Alas. You also know that he is an important minister of the imperial court, and he is even regarded as the Duke of Chongguo, and if it is discovered that he has secretly connected with the Huaxia Army, he is afraid that he will be suspected of coming to Lin'an. That's why you do it, isn't it?" Qiu Zhenheng persuaded bitterly.

Lu Wenhuan was slightly displeased, and asked rhetorically: "If he is afraid of suspicion, then I am not afraid?" If I am jealous of the people of Lin'an, then what should I do? You must know that I am not as powerful as him, and I will definitely be belittled from Hainan at that time." ”

In this medieval era, the area around Hainan was completely equivalent to a wild land, and it was not suitable for life at all.

Qiu Zhenheng was embarrassed, and Lu Wenhuan said that it was naturally reasonable, but for the sake of Xiangyang's plan, he could only stubbornly complain: "You can naturally rest assured about this, if the person in Lin'an is really to blame, I believe that Chongguo Gong will definitely not be restrained." After all, you are his cousin, if you don't even save you, won't it chill the hearts of many soldiers?"

"Huh. Then why didn't you think it was when you scolded me in the first place? Do you think that I have to go because of these promises?"

Lu Wenhuan moved slightly, after all, after all these years, he also knew that Lu Wende was not a person who was ruthless, and he also took care of himself, but when he thought that he had been scolded like that, his tone became tougher.

Qiu Zhenheng was not stupid, he obviously heard the hidden meaning, and complained: "Then I don't know what conditions are needed for the general to be willing to make a move?"

"Shoot it, listen to what you said, I look like some corrupt official. Lu Wenhuan complained for a moment, and then put forward his own conditions: "In the future, the management of the field must be handed over to me in charge, otherwise I will definitely not be able to go to Junzhou." ”

"Is this the condition?" Qiu Zhenheng was not surprised, in fact, Lu Wenhuan had always been in charge of managing this field before.

Lu Wenhuan closed his head and replied, "That's right. You also know how important this field is to us. Without this field, our income would have dropped by at least two percent. Did you know that because of the previous quarrel, many merchants left the farm? If I don't take steps to re-recruit them, how can I keep them in the field and provide us with food and pay for us far and continuously?"

"That's just as well. ”

Qiu Zhenheng replied: "Since this is the case, then leave this matter to me to deal with, and I will naturally persuade Chongguo Gong to let him agree to this matter." It's just a general, when will you meet Zhang Wei? After all, this Zhang Wei's term of office is also approaching, and if you continue to delay, I am afraid that you will miss this opportunity. ”

Although he didn't know what Zhang Wei meant by taking such an action, Qiu Zhenheng also knew that Zhang Wei was very ambitious, so he wanted to find out Zhang Wei's thoughts through Lu Wenhuan.

Lu Wenhuan thought for a while, and then said: "As the so-called soldier is fast, it is better to do it now." Otherwise, if it continues to drag, we don't know what will happen. Now that he had made up his mind, he turned his head and asked, "In that case, what is that Zhang Wei, where is he now?"

"Zhang Wei, he is now in the Xiangyang Mansion, just waiting for you to pass. Qiu Zhenheng said.

"It's already in my mansion, I didn't expect this kid to be more scheming than me, and to come here so soon. Lu Wenhuan was a little surprised, waved his hand to Qiu Zhenheng and said, "Then I'll go first." As soon as the words fell, he performed a light skill and quickly fell towards his mansion.

Seeing that Lu Wenhuan's figure disappeared, Qiu Zhenheng chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "What do you say, don't you care?" As soon as you hear that it involves Xiangyang, didn't you go?" At this time, he suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand sink, and his arm was raised violently, and he connected the hook to a three-foot-long crucian carp and pulled it out of the river.

Qiu Zhenheng's eyebrows fluttered, and he smiled: "Heh, it seems that I have a good mouth?"

Not to mention this, since Lu Wenhuan left here, it was only a quarter of an hour before he came to the place where the Xiangyang Mansion was located.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into this place, he immediately fell to the ground, straightened his clothes a little, and made himself look not so dusty, before stepping into the mansion, seeing that Zhang Wei had been waiting in the hall for a long time, he said: "What kind of wind is it today, so that you are here too?"

In terms of official position, Lu Wenhuan is the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Jingxi, which is much bigger than Zhang Wei's official position, but after all, Zhang Wei once served as a secretary in the Prime Minister's Office, and the governor of Junzhou is an important city for exchanges between Guannai and the Southern Dynasties, so it is not much lower.

Zhang Wei immediately stood up, first bowed respectfully to Lu Wenhuan, and then arrived: "Ha." In fact, there is nothing important, just because my term of office has expired and I must return to Chang'an, and before leaving, I remembered that in the past eight years, I have never visited Lu An's envoy, so I want to come here to meet the legendary heroes who once repelled Meng Yuan and guarded the Han land. ”

"Huh. You kid, you really know how to talk. ”

Lu Wenhuan chuckled, found a seat and sat down, and said: "It's just that if we talk about the expulsion of the Tatars and the restoration of the Han Dynasty, how can we compare with the ranks? That's the real hero's thing, just like us, how can we be considered a hero in this Jiangnan place?"

If you say this, Lu Wenhuan is sincere.

As the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture, of course he knew that the situation in Xiangyang City was not optimistic, that is, the army was becoming more and more decadent, without the courage and good fighting of the Huaxia army, so he and Lu Wende were also quite worried, afraid that Meng Yuan would come over anytime and anywhere.

Although the Huaxia army was strong, it always adhered to loyalty and morality, and never attacked them for anything.

Only this Meng Yuan is the real threat.

Lu An'an smiled at the appeasement. The fact that he was able to hold Xiangyang from the hands of the Mongols alone made a great contribution. And tens of millions of people in the Southern Dynasty were able to survive because of the two adults. With such a contribution, how can it be easily forgotten?" Zhang Wei laughed reservedly, and also praised the other party.

"That's just as well. ”

Lu Wenhuan didn't deny it, but he was more interested in the purpose of Zhang Wei's arrival, so he asked: "It's just that you came today, you shouldn't just say these words of praise." ”

"That's right. I have come today for another purpose. Zhang Wei nodded, admitted it, and then said: "Actually, the reason why I came here today is because I was ordered by the lord to send a letter to the prince of Chongguo. ”

"Lord, do you mean King Jin?" Lu Wenhuan's heart tightened, but Zhang Wei's words were fine, but if it was replaced by Xiao Feng, then he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Zhang Wei closed his head and replied, "That's right. It's the lord. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom, then handed it to Lu Wenhuan, and complained: "As for what the lord wants to say, it's all here." If Lu Anfu is a little curious, he can open it and take a look. ”

"Oh, I'll just watch it?"

Lu Wenhuan felt nervous and began to tear open the letterhead in his hand, although it was only a simple action, he looked a little clumsy.

It was easy to tear open the letter, Lu Wenhuan unfolded the envelope, took a closer look, looked at Zhang Wei with a stunned face, and said, "You guys, want to borrow from us?"

He also had some guesses that the purpose of Zhang Wei's trip was to trade in the market, maybe to open the checkpoints, maybe to reduce taxes, in short, there were various purposes, but he didn't expect it to be this purpose.

"That's right. You also know that since the Tartar founded the puppet dynasty, he began to make a move, wanting to conquer the world by force. However, my Han family son, especially the cowardly, should naturally strike a blow so that this tartar can understand the blood of our Han family son. But you also know that even if you have all the strength, if you don't have food, you can only become a sick man, how can you fight against the Tartars?"

Zhang Wei began to exert his eloquence and persuaded Lu Wenhuan: "It is precisely because of this that I hope you can agree to this, only in this way can we completely defeat the Mongols, right?"
