The spring breeze is fragrant with flowers and herbs. Qiuzi City, in the Yamen of the Political Division, in the lobby on the west side. Yu Youbu political envoy just sent off the visitors, sipping tea alone in the public house, admiring the moon flowers outside the window. With a smile on his lips.

At this time, at the door of the public house, a scribe came forward and reported: "My lord, the Cai Governor of Shule Town asks to see you." ”

Yu Youbu was slightly stunned, then turned around and said with a smile: "Please let him in!" ”

Cai Zhifu is the confidant of Zuobu's political envoy Han Boan. Right now. Can't even he sit still?

A few days ago, the Tiele nobleman Juke was found to be related to the big case of Qiuzi loss last year. No matter how bad the officialdom is, everyone knows that the governor of Qi wants to settle accounts with the Tiele people. On that day, all the officials who accepted bribes from the Tiele people in Luntai County handed over the silver dollars to the governor's palace.

Now, who would dare to deal with Han Bo'an? Aren't you afraid of being involved in such a big case?

Cai Zhifu was waiting for the summons in a side room behind the lobby, thinking about the scene at the door just now, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The political secretary of the state and the dynasty has set up political envoys on the left and right. Therefore, the political secretary is bounded by the atrium and is divided into two lobbies, east and west. It is subordinate to the left and right political envoys. The left political envoy is in the east, and the right political envoy is in the west. In the past, Yu Buzheng made it empty. But now, it's the other way around.

That's the trend!

Governor Cai was sighing, and the little official came in and said, "Lord Cai, Lord Yu is invited." ”

…

…

In the evening, the chief secretary of the Yamen, the east lobby. Han Boan came out of the public house and walked around. Like the county officials, the envoys lived behind the yamen.

Listening to the noise next door, Han Bo felt relieved for a while, and walked lonely in the deserted yamen.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi!

…

…

As the center of the Western Regions and the transportation artery of the southern route of the Silk Road, Qiuci City is very prosperous. The circumference of the city is more than 60 miles. In the middle of the city is the former Qiuzi Palace. The chief secretary's yamen is next to the palace. On this long street, there are also the Yamen of the Judge, the Garrison Division, the Qiuzi Prefecture Office, the County Office, the Foundry Bureau, and the East City Lifting Division.

Three steps and one office, five steps and one signature. One by one, one after the other. The Governor's Palace, as a newly established yamen, was located in the west of the city.

In the evening, Jia Huan came out of the governor's palace and asked his friends Pang Ze and Qin Hongtu to go to the Sihai Restaurant for dinner.

Although he was the left senator of the political secretary, his power came from the governor of Qi. It has always been based in the Governor's Palace.

With the arrival of the Governor's Palace, civil and military officials, and the various yamen began to operate. The city of Qiuzi has initially regained its vitality. In the Four Seas Restaurant, the voices of people are boiling. Jia Huan and the three of them were eating and drinking in the private room on the second floor. The taste here in Qiuci is different from Dunhuang. Dunhuang is the flavor of Longcai. Qiuzi here is the flavor of the Western Regions, which is sour and spicy.

The golden sunset hangs in the corner of the building. Fall in a private room. The voices up and down the restaurant came in slightly, and I didn't really hear it.

Pang Ze wore a green shirt, drank wine, and sighed with a smile: "Ziyu, Master Han is just afraid that it will be very uncomfortable now." Hey! He was too proactive. ”

Qin Hongtu's dark skin smiled slightly.

Jia Huan ate a chopstick and grabbed the mutton with his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone is used to me framing, but they are not used to me shaking a shot!" ”

"Haha!" Pang Ze raised his head and smiled, and said, "Ziyu, although he cheated Master Han once. But why do you still feel a little unhappy in your heart? I think the reason for this is probably because after coming to the Western Regions, they have all fought back with a big opening. I'm about to get used to this kind of calculation of digging holes. ”

It's a joke.

Qin Hongtu interjected with a smile: "Shiyuan, that's because Ziyu hasn't shepherded one side yet. If Ziyu is in the position of the governor of Qi, Han Fangbo will be impeached and returned to his hometown with a single chapter. He suggested: "Ziyu, if you come to the Western Regions for the purpose of coming to the Western Regions, you can ask the Governor of Qi to leave the town. ”

In the current situation, the Governor of Qi wants to sit in Qiuci, govern the Qiuci area, and make every effort to supply money and food for the Battle of Beiting. This is the top priority at the moment. It can be said that all eyes and focus are on the North Garden.

And with the size of the Western Regions, Jia Huan's talent, and the personal relationship with the Governor of Qi, he can completely apply for governance to go to an important town.

As for the matter of transporting grain and grass, there are some rules, management methods, and Arabic numerals used by King Hu Chi Hu Qian and Jia Huan, which is not a problem at all.

What is the main purpose of Jia Huan's coming to the Western Regions to wade through this muddy water?

Put aside the background of recovering the Western Regions and serving the country. The most important thing is to gain the support of the generals and pave the way for the future entry into the military aircraft department. Throughout history, if Zai Fu does not understand military affairs, he must have a general who can fight.

Only when you leave the town can you take charge of the military! And only when he is in charge of military power, orders generals and colonels to obey orders, and has a relationship between superiors and subordinates, can it be regarded as a relationship between subordinates and subordinates. It's easy to do things if you have a descendant!

Pang Ze patted the table and agreed: "Ziyu, Gong Zhai's proposal is good. "Governor Qi is a good boss, but it is obviously more suitable to go out of town. Jia Huan is not like other staff members in the Governor's Palace, he has an official position. As long as you add a temporary dispatch, you can go it alone.

Jia Huan pursed his lips slightly, groaning, and his heart was a little moved.

As the chief logistics officer, he was familiar with the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army. To say that his purpose of coming to the Western Regions has actually been accomplished. It's nothing more than the depth of friendship.

His current goal is to assist the Governor of Qi in pacifying the Western Regions in the twentieth year of Yongzhi. He wanted to take Shen Qian to set off in the winter of the twentieth year of Yongzhi and return to the capital, so that the wedding of the third sister could be held as scheduled. And the current mission is the Battle of the North Court.

Qin Hongtu considered it from his perspective and put forward a new idea.

This idea is indeed feasible. Because, Governor Qi's eyes were on the North Court. And the vastness of the Western Regions: At present, there are only two of the four towns in Anxi, not to mention the Tocharian and Hezhong regions. If he goes out of the town and expands his territory to the west, it is also in line with the general goal of quickly pacifying the Western Regions.

In his heart, Jia Huan never thought that he was an indispensable figure in the Battle of Beiting. He is not good at military strategy. In the shogunate, the one who is really good at military strategy is Zeng Jigao. If he can get the birth, he will definitely become a governor.

He is out of town, and there is definitely no problem in governing the place. However, whether he can expand his territory and restore the old land, he still has doubts in his heart. Militaristic affairs are not just talk on paper. It is to be shed and sacrificed! In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials led troops, how many things were wrong? Fierce people such as Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others are a minority after all.

How could he have no worries in his heart?

Jia Huan thought about it, raised his glass and drank with his two friends, and said softly: "This is a good idea. Now, though, it's hard. The Doge's Palace is busy right now. I'm not going to bring it up to Governor Qi. Wait for the right time. ”

At this time, the proposal to the Governor of Qi to go out of the town was completely for the sake of his personal future! This will leave a very bad impression on Governor Qi and his colleagues. They are a team. It's just for personal prospects, and I can't say it.

Pang Ze and Qin Hongtu glanced at each other, sighed regretfully, and raised their wine glasses to drink.

…

…

The sunset and the long night pass slowly.

In the midst of the tense government and military situation, on the morning of 22 March, Jia Huan and others sent Cheng You off for Shule in Changting outside Qiuci City.

He was ready to lobby Shule Town to submit to the imperial court.
