Chapter 42 Gather in Junzhou

Junju!

"I didn't expect it to be you?"

Zhang Wei was slightly surprised and looked at the two people in front of him.

Chen Zi raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "You know us?"

"But we shouldn't have been to Chang'an before, so it's impossible to meet each other. Lei Min was also surprised, and looked Zhang Wei up and down.

The documents issued from the Prime Minister's Office will be under Zhang Wei from now on, so they are also quite curious about this new boss, and want to know why the lord sent this person?

"Of course. I have seen your deeds in an official letter to the lord. Zhang Wei smiled, walked up without suspicion at all, and held the hands of the two: "This time, I will leave it to you." Otherwise, if I am alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to confront that Lu Wende. Of course, it's too desolate, so let's go and sit inside. With that, he led the two towards the mansion.

"Lu Wende?"

Hearing this name, Chen Ziang's heart tightened, and he muttered two sentences silently.

Lei Min was also quite surprised, and hurriedly asked: "It is said that this person has just achieved the Earth Immortal, with our strength, is it possible to fight?"

The Red Phoenix Army has always monitored the Song Dynasty, so they naturally know about the internal changes, and before they came, they had already read the corresponding information, so as not to completely fail because they did not know the information.

"Huh. If it were just us, of course it wouldn't be. But he can't come in person, after all, we also have the lord behind us. Zhang Wei looked stunned, couldn't help but stop, and comforted: "If that guy really tears his face and does it himself, the lord will naturally intervene." With his strength, how can he fight with the lord?"

"That's fine. ”

Chen Ziang and Lei Min exhaled turbidity and felt a little relieved.

For Na Lu Wende, they were naturally extremely afraid, the difference in realm was too great, and they couldn't fight at all.

But if you are facing other people, with their current cultivation, they can also deal with each other.

Walking into the mansion with the two of them, Zhang Wei first asked people to bring out two seats for the two to sit down, and then began to complain: "Of course." Although it is impossible for that guy to do it himself, it is impossible to give up and let us continue to entrench in this Junzhou land, so they have been secretly trying to drive us out. That's why I begged the lord to send someone over. With my own strength, I really can't deal with it. ”

"I see, can you tell us what the current situation is in Junzhou?" After coming here, Chen Ziang began to urgently want to understand the situation here: "Only when we understand the current situation can we prescribe the right medicine." Isn't it?"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but show a little annoyance: "Alas. Aren't you being troubled by those bandits?"

During the time when the two of them didn't come, he was harassed by this group of water bandits, although he had the intention to exterminate them, but he had no available talents in his hands, and he couldn't capture that group of water bandits at all.

The only thing that can be determined is that behind this group of water bandits, there is a black hand from Xiangyang.

Seeing the two of them arriving here, Zhang Wei also explained the information he had one by one.

Chen Ziang and Lei Min listened carefully, and they also fell into deep thought, and only after they finished saying everything did they have a general understanding of the whole situation.

"According to what you said, there are a large number of spies among the water bandits in Junzhou?" Chen Ziang asked.

Zhang Wei closed his head and replied, "That's right. I have sent troops several times to exterminate this group of bandits. But every time they escaped, there could be no other reason for this situation than a conspiracy. ”

"Then you didn't arrest that spy?"

Lei Min's tone was impulsive, Wu Qingshi's rebellion was really memorable, and he hated this group of guys who ate inside and out.

"Impossible!"

Zhang Wei shook his head.

Chen Ziang asked, "Impossible? Is it because that guy is hiding too deeply?"

"It's not. It's too much!" Zhang Wei's face was bitter, and he replied directly.

"Too much?" Chen Zi raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt his scalp tingle: "What's going on?" According to Zhang Wei's words, he felt as if he was being targeted by countless jackals.

Zhang Wei replied: "Alas, you don't know, because this place is located at the junction of the Chifeng Army and the Song Dynasty, and because it is located at the edge of the Han River, it is surrounded by mountains and mountains, and it has always been a poor place. The people who inhabit this area live from agriculture on weekdays, but if they encounter a lone businessman, they will turn into bandits. Murder and robbery are simply commonplace!"

"It's so dangerous?"

Chen Ziang and Zhang Wei both gasped and were secretly surprised.

Zhang Wei closed his head and replied, "That's right. It's so dangerous. ”

He was not wrong, in fact, in this era, this kind of thing is common, not to mention that after many wars, those surviving peasants naturally joined in in order to survive.

Entering for the people, going out for bandits.

This is the historical norm.

Chen Ziang smiled bitterly, but said: "In this way, the most important thing for us now is not to determine who is the spy, but to determine who really supports us first." And who is the one who can be co-opted?"

This Junzhou is not big, and its land is only tens of thousands of households, which is far from being comparable with Chang'an.

But it is not small to say that it is not small, because of the broken terrain, there are at least hundreds of ethnic groups scattered all over the place, and it is a headache to screen them one by one.

Lei Min also said: "In this way, do we first have to build an army that can be loyal to us?"

This Junzhou is far from Chang'an Taiyuan, and there are mountains along the way, before the construction of the railway, it is simply delusional to expect Chang'an to send troops over, and most of the previous 3,000 soldiers and horses are drawn from the local people, so as to make up the corresponding number, and the formally trained Chifeng Army, it is fundamentally different.

Zhang Wei nodded and replied, "That's right." That's why I applied to my lord, hoping that you two could help me with this. ”

After he followed Xiao Feng, although he had seen a lot of characters and understood the importance of many things, a person's energy was limited after all, and his understanding of espionage and the army was too shallow, so he hoped that a professional could come over to help and share some of the pressure a little.

Talents like Zhuge Liang and Zhang Liang are still a minority after all.

Chen Ziang and Lei Min glanced at each other, and they also closed their heads together and replied: "Naturally!"

Knowing the situation here, Chen Ziang and Lei Min also immediately started to act.

That Chen Ziang left Junzhou directly, but ran to those villages, if you want to know the situation of these villages, naturally only one village can understand all this concretely.

And his own cultivation is not bad, even if he really breaks into the bandits' den, he can rely on his own cultivation to break out, but he is not afraid of encountering any accidents.

Lei Min found Shao Ming and asked him to form a team.

Shao Ming himself is just an ordinary person, where can he dare to confront a person like Lei Min with meritorious deeds, so he naturally hurried down, and depending on his condition, if it weren't for the fact that the age limit had not yet arrived, he would have resigned directly and gave the official position to Lei Min.

Lei Min selected a hundred people from the three thousand, of course, these hundred people were also screened, only those who were bitter and had relatives who died among the bandits could enter, so as not to have spies mixed in and expose their opportunities.

When a hundred people were selected, Lei Min also led this group of people to the deep mountains and started field training.

The training of the regular army of the Red Phoenix Army was enough for this group of people to completely transform in a short period of time, and then they could reach the level of fighting the enemy.

Seeing that the two were busy, Zhang Wei did not stop, but as the governor of Junzhou, he ran to Xiangyang Mansion so that he could listen to each other's voices.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

Roaring at the convoy of people and horses that appeared below, Lu Shikui was puzzled.

"Oh? It turns out that the governor of Junzhou came to visit?"

Hearing this news, Lu Wende was also quite surprised.

"That's right, father. The child has seen the official seal he took out, and he is sure that it is the governor of Junzhou!" Lu Shikui replied: "It's just that if my father doesn't plan to meet him, then I can drive him away." ”

In Lu Shikui's heart, his father is the head of the army guarding the side, and it is simply delusional for a small Zhizhou to want to see his father, not to mention that he is still an official of the Red Phoenix Army.

At least, it has to be Xiao Feng, the leader of the Red Phoenix Army, to have such momentum.

"Nope. Lu Wende frowned slightly, but complained: "You better let him in." ”

Lu Shikui was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "But father." That person is just a Zhizhou, is it necessary to be so grand?" You must know that even if he is an envoy of Chang'an, his father scolds and beats when he scolds, but now he looks like that Zhang Wei, which is really strange.

Lu Wende glared sideways and shouted, "I asked you to pick up that person, have you forgotten?"

Being drunk by this, Lu Shikui was immediately taken aback, and hurriedly closed his head and replied: "The child understands." Ren was a little disdainful in his mouth, and he also complained in his heart: "It's just a Zhizhou, is it necessary to be so nervous?" Although he was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey his father's order, so he stepped into the mansion and walked to the city wall, and said to Zhang Wei, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time: "Father has agreed. Just come in. ”

A "creaking" sound sounded, and the once heavy city wall was slowly pulled apart, revealing the scene inside.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath, and the soldiers around him stared at him one by one, which made him feel extremely nervous, and he felt that he represented the Red Phoenix Army at this moment, but he didn't dare to show the slightest cowardice, and leaned over and said: "Since that's the case, then please ask Gongzi to lead the way in front, is it okay?"

"Absolutely. ”

Lu Shikui shouted, and then led a group of people to the Marshal's Mansion.
