"The election camp is far away from Lin'an, and it has already left at the beginning of July, what does Lin'an have to do with us? Brother Lu, don't be sensational. ”

Shen Jin is somewhat weak-hearted, he has studied and lived in Lin'an for many years, although there will be some things that make the streets and alleys and hooks and tiles talk about endlessly every once in a while, but there will definitely not be too much in a short time.

If the news Lu You heard was true, then something big had happened in Lin'an.

And the few major events he just said, except for the king of Enping County to inspect Xiang'e, everything else is related to the army, Zhang Jun is a famous man in the army, in the early years, he held hundreds of thousands of elite garrisons, and he has already entered the king of Qinghe County, and now he is added to the official Taishi, it doesn't hurt or itch, I'm afraid that now he is adding officials to deter the garrisons in Xiang'e, as for whether the dismissal of Yu Yaobi, who is a good deputy minister, is related to the Privy Council that he is concurrently serving, and whether it is related to the Xiang'e Tun garrison.

And then the soldiers of the Imperial City Guards reprimanded the emperor in person, and this matter has a head, is it instigated by someone, and by whom? First check the Su Guards, and then check the front division of the palace, and when the yamen are finished, they will easily find out the heads of the major forbidden armies, and it is really hard to say what will be found out in the end, but this matter must not be simple, I am afraid that someone deliberately wants to make waves.

And what is the purpose of Lin'an to set off this wave, Shen Jin can't guess.

"Where is the little brother sensational, all kinds of things here, which thing does not reveal weirdness? We should all be careful! ”

Lu You obviously shouldn't know the inside story, but he must have heard the old Zhizhou of Wuzhou in Jinhua talk to him about some of his own speculations, or the gossip from Lin'an.

"What's weird, tell me about it."

Shen Jin was shocked, these things were indeed very weird, and there seemed to be a connection in the midterm, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Do you know the origin of the King of Enping who inspected the floods in Xiang'e?"

Seeing Shen Jin shaking his head, Lu You said in a low voice: "This King of Enping County is the adopted son selected by the official family from the descendants of Taizu in the early years, and he has been raised in the palace before, why should he raise the descendants of Taizu in the palace?" ”

"Because I heard that the official family was chased by the Jin people in the early years and was frightened, so that they could not raise again, and the prince born to the official family had already died, lest there was no successor to the Great Song Dynasty, so I found the descendants of Taizu from the people, recognized them as adopted sons, and supported them in the palace, only waiting for the official family to inherit the country after a hundred years. It would be nice if the official family only had one adopted son, but it was not, but there were two adopted sons, both of whom had the possibility of inheriting the Great Song Dynasty, and the other one was the king of Pu'an! ”

"King of Pu'an? Choosing a battalion commander? ”

Shen Jin's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, this news was too shocking for him.

There are a lot of various county kings in the Great Song Dynasty, all of them are false names with no real power, where would he have thought that this empty name of coach would have such a big background and such a noble identity when he had never met the king of Pu'an!

"That's right, the commander of the general battalion. Can you guess what happened in Lin'an has something to do with the two county kings? ”

Shen Jin was still in shock, where did he have time to think about what was the relationship.

"When we left Lin'an in early July, we already knew that the king of Pu'an County was the commander of the general camp, and then the king of Enping County quickly inspected the Xiang'e flood and found out the corruption, and then Zhang Jun added the official Taishi, and the Xiang'e Tun garrison was rectified, and immediately dismissed Yu Yaobi, who was a part-time privy councillor, obviously inspected the flood, why did he suddenly rectify the Xiang'e Tun garrison, and also affected the deputy minister Yu Yaobi? Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Su Guard Army reprimanded the emperor in person, and such an unbelievable thing happened, which instantly dragged the entire palace division into the whirlpool, and then involved the forbidden army under the command of the palace front division. There is only one ultimate goal in planning all this! ”

"What is it?"

"Elect the camp!"

"Boss?"

"Yes, the manager. The selection camp gathers all the forbidden troops to be investigated by the imperial court, and his commander is the king of the county who has the opportunity to inherit the country, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? ”

"But the king of Napu'an has never come to the general selection camp, even if the forbidden army who came to participate in the general selection has a problem, it is impossible to involve him?"

"Brother Shen is wrong to think so, when did the king of Pu'an start to serve as the commander of the general selection camp? Isn't it the beginning of July? If you don't come to Yiwu, you can't meddle in the affairs of the general camp? Besides, the status of the county king is so noble, why do you have to do it yourself. As long as the problem is found and the rumors are spread, it is not easy to target the coach? ”

"So, their purpose is to undermine the manager's prestige? Deprive him of the opportunity to inherit the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"That's right, everything that has happened recently in Lin'an is ultimately this purpose. Because of this, the coach did not dare to leave Lin'an and did not dare to come to the selection camp. ”

Shen Jin was silent, it seems that the election camp is indeed going to have a big incident, and even the coach doesn't dare to show up, who can still carry the election camp? Is Lord Yang okay?

No matter how deep Lord Yang's background is, it is not as deep as the coach, and it seems that the selection camp is about to become a dangerous place.

"What are Brother Lu's plans?"

"Let's take a step at a time, the little brother has no fame, it's just that Lord Yang found the little people who were doing some chores in the camp, what really happened, and it didn't matter to me. Isn't it the same with Brother Shen? Nothing to worry about. ”

"What Brother Lu said is that a major event at the level of the imperial court, where will a small person like us be involved, you and I are worried about nothing!"

"What Brother Shen said is true. That's all for today, but don't spread it. ”

"Brother Lu, don't worry, I'm not a big-mouthed person."

With that, the two walked out of the Shuai Camp Council Hall together.

The second day, overcast.

The sky was overcast, and the dragoons went east on time to select the general's camp.

There were fewer Forbidden Army commanders who came to see off this time, most of them just came to see the excitement, and when the dragoons left, they quickly dispersed.

Not long after, General Li and General Shao, who were watching the battle with the army again, came to the gate of the camp under the escort of the forbidden army.

After running in the mountains for many days, although they looked a little tired, they also aroused their fighting spirit, and although their steps were slow, they were steady and calm.

"Today's weather is bad, the mountain road is difficult, General Li and General Shao should be more careful along the way!"

The elite forbidden army of the squad quickly escorted the two generals out of the camp gate and walked towards the distance, followed by the logistics support troops of the general battalion more than ten zhang away behind them.

"Captain Wang, I have a letter here, if you can see Lord Yang when you go to the mountain this time, you must hand over this letter to Lord Yang with your own hands, and remember not to give it to others. If you don't have a chance to see Lord Yang, you can bring it back to me as it is. ”

After speaking, Shen Jin handed over a sealed letter to Wang Quan, the detainer of the logistics support team.

"Yes!"

Wang Quan put the letter in his arms and kept it close to him.

The logistics support team quickly left the camp to keep up with the elite forbidden army that was one step ahead.

The third challenging forbidden army has entered the mountain, and Shen Jin doesn't know if they can win, so I wish them good luck.

The gray sky, gusts of cold wind, the sky was cloudy for a long time, and in the afternoon the rain finally drifted in the mountains.

"My lord, this rain will not stop for a while, and we have found a cave on the mountainside to shelter from the rain."

The guards lifted the makeshift tent, his hair already wet from the rain.

"Master Zhang, let's go and take shelter, this rain is estimated to not stop today."

"Okay, it's raining this time, and the battle can't be fought."

Lord Zhang and Lord Yang, under the escort of the team, quickly moved from the tent on the top of the mountain to a cave a mile away.

The cave has been simply cleaned by the soldiers, and the fire has been lit, although there is a sense of smoke, but once you enter the cave, you still feel a lot more relaxed.

"The sky is not beautiful, a rain, I don't know how many days this battle will drag on."

"It hasn't rained in almost a month, so it's time for the next one. The forbidden army challenged from outside the mountain should also be left in the middle of the road by this rain, if the rain is heavy, they will not enter the mountain deeply, and they should return to the camp of the selected generals. ”

Yang Congyi and Master Zhang sat on both sides of the fire, looking at the rain outside the cave, and they were not in a good mood when they encountered this rain.

Not a few hours after they came out of the camp, it began to rain in the sky, and their luck was really a little bad, but there was no way, the selected troops did not want to stay in the camp to fight, and they had to take the initiative to attack when the weather was bad.

Half an hour has passed, and the rain shows no signs of abating, and is even slowly getting heavier.

"Deputy Envoy Yang, you can't fight in this weather, it's not a real sword, and there will be casualties in the mountains. Or do you want to order them to withdraw? ”

Master Zhang said very politely, as if he was discussing with Yang Congyi.

"My lord, the challenge of selecting generals has begun, and they are afraid that they will not stop regardless of the winner or loser. We'll just wait here, fight or withdraw, and wait for them to decide. What do adults think? ”

There are many unexpected situations on the battlefield, and Yang Congyi hopes to practice their ability to make decisions on the spot, whether to advance or retreat, sometimes it is about victory or defeat, sometimes it is about life and death, and the commander of an army should have the courage to take responsibility.

"Okay, let's see how these boys will do in the rain."

Master Zhang did not insist, although he is an old senior in the army, but he has lost the right to command the army a long time ago, and he is idle at home.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly a personal soldier came to report: "My lord, General Yao led the troops down the mountain and went out of the mountain!" ”

"Outside the mountain?"

Yang Congyi and Master Zhang were shocked at the same time, they still came out of the mountain in this ghost weather?

"My lord, the mountain is high and the road is slippery, and it is raining, so don't go down the mountain, I'll go over and have a look, and when I meet General Li and General Shao, I'll bring their opinions back."

"Okay, the old man is here waiting for your news."

Yang Congyi persuaded Master Zhang and walked out of the cave with ten personal soldiers.

After all, Master Zhang is old, his legs and feet are not as good as before, he usually walks on mountain roads, and in some places he needs soldiers to help, the road is slippery in the rain, how can he go out, once he is injured in an accident, he can't explain to anyone.

"Add some firewood."

A gust of wind came, and Master Zhang, who was sitting by the fire, suddenly felt a little cold.

When you are old, you shouldn't be tossed like a young man, so why suffer this sin?

Beside the fire, a long sigh drifted out of the cave with the green smoke and dissipated into the rain.
