Shi Quanbin went all the way, because he had to wait for the documents of the Privy Council, he didn't go fast, and he already knew the situation in Yongzhou.

Speaking of it now, this document is a joke, and I am afraid that Jiaozhi will commit Song, and now Xu Ping will not lead troops to attack Jiaozhi. As for Guangyuan Prefecture, the Nong family was uprooted, and now the cane sugar department has begun to organize manpower to build roads to Qiyuan Prefecture, which will be extended there within a year or two, and there is no possibility of starting again in the future.

If the communication is not timely, this kind of joke is difficult to avoid, so the authority of the magistrate is relatively large. Especially here on Quang Nam West Road, as long as it does not violate the big policy, many things can be done by local officials.

When things came to this point, there was another reason behind Xu Ping's unknowing. Zhang Pin's nephew, Zhang Dexiang, who is currently a bachelor of Hanlin, has a lot of support from Lu Yijian in his career, and because of this relationship, Zhang Pin himself also fell to Lu Yijian. At present, in the political arena, Lu Yijian's party and the Queen Mother's party are the two largest political groups, and Zhang Qi is the leader of the Queen Mother's party in foreign dynasties.

The more complete the bureaucratic system becomes, the more stubborn this kind of faction-building thing becomes, and officials will often fall into it involuntarily. Xu Ping is alone, has no relatives and friends, and does not have a correct understanding of this kind of partisan politics, and naively just acts according to the policy. It is precisely because of this that others are not guarded against him, knowing that he is a lonely minister, and they can endure him in small things.

But once it does affect the political power of the two factions, the consequences are difficult to predict.

However, Xu Ping didn't know this, so he threw the order of the Privy Council behind him, and when it was time to resign from Xie Zhang, he explained the affairs of Yongzhou by the way. Now the scope of the war is still nominally all under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou. The word "border provocation" is not used, it is just that he promises to stay in the future in the future.

After finishing business, Shi Quanbin took the letter from Lin Suniang who asked him to bring him, as well as the gift from the family to Xu Ping. The two have known each other since Xu Ping was still a white body, and it has been many years, and Shi Quanbin intends to marry again. The relationship between the two is already considered intimate. When Xu Ping was not in the capital, Shi Quanbin often walked around his house, and he was also familiar with Lin Suniang.

After finishing these things, it was almost evening, Xu Ping prepared a dinner party and gave Shi Quanbin a reception.

After taking a sip of the good wine treasured at home brought by Shi Quanbin, Xu Ping closed his eyes and was a little intoxicated. Although not very much of a drinker. But after five or six years of frontier life, there is not only the taste of wine in this wine, but also a taste that belongs to Xu Ping, which is worth savoring.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Ping said to Shi Quanbin: "The cabinet chief came to Lingnan this time, anyway, it's okay, it's better to stay longer." After a month, it is the season of spring to return to the Central Plains. Escaped the cold winter. ”

"In that case, I'll bother a little longer. The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Day. How did you spend the Shangyuan Festival in Yongzhou. By the way, Yunxing, what's the excitement in Yongzhou recently? ”

Xu Ping smiled: "Lively? Does fighting a war count? ”

Shi Quanbin was taken aback: "Guangyuan Prefecture has been pacified, there is still a war here?" ”

"Guangyuan Prefecture is just a trivial matter, and the big trouble is that I occupy Langzhou, but I am afraid that the Jiaozhi people will not give up. It won't be long before an army will come to attack. ”

"Langzhou? Wasn't that originally the place where I was in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Ping smiled happily: "Yes, since the time of Emperor Taizong, our Great Song Dynasty has appointed Zhizhou there. But the Jiaozhi people don't think so, they also have the knowledge of the state. Firmly occupy the place. A few years ago, our army went out and took their Zhizhou to prison and locked him up. ”

Shi Quanbin is only serving by the emperor's side, and he can still talk about a few bigwigs in the court, but he doesn't know anything about these specific political affairs. Listening to Xu Ping's lively words, he was also interested, and asked: "I thought that only Guangyuan Prefecture was in Yongzhou to make trouble, but I didn't expect that there would be chaos here in Langzhou." By the way, if you do this, will the Privy Council say anything? They have repeatedly ordered the localities not to make trouble. ”

"What do you mean by trespassing? The places under my own control are only through administrative orders, and if the land under my control is all for outsiders to eat, then what does it mean for me to do as an official? ”

For the joint in between, Shi Quanbin couldn't say why, but asked: "I think this is just an ordinary frontier town?" How did you decide that Cochin would send troops? No wonder people are busy all around the city, it turns out that they want to guard against Jiaozhi. However, Yunxing, Jiaozhi is not comparable to the local small local officials in Guangyuan Prefecture, and Emperor Taizong also suffered there back then. ”

"This time and that time, you can't generalize. Tomorrow the chief will go with me to Taniguchi to see what I have set up there. If I am right, before you leave, the Cochin will attack, and you will also watch the battle with me, and go back to talk to the Holy Lord. ”

Although Shi Quanbin also heard some rumors, it was not detailed, and he cared about Guangyuan Prefecture along the way. As for Langzhou, I just heard that Xu Ping sent people to occupy it, and I thought it was just like other Tuzhou Passes in Zuojiang Province, but I just wanted to do the bracket method, but I didn't expect to provoke Jiaozhi. As for how to provoke Jiaozhi and how important Langzhou is to Jiaozhi, Shi Quanbin has no concept in his heart. But the shadow of Taizong's expedition was still there, and he always felt that Jiaozhi was a very terrible opponent, if it weren't for Xu Ping's easy talk, he would have to open his mouth to dissuade him.

Looking at Xu Ping's confident look, Shi Quanbin stretched out his head to the center of the table, looked at Xu Ping and asked carefully: "Yunxing, you tell me the truth, do you have confidence in this battle?" ”

Xu Ping smiled: "We have known each other for so many years, when did you see me and say a big thing!" ”

"Then, how is such a victory better than fighting Guangyuan Prefecture? Big or small? ”

"Pavilion Chief, you don't know much about Yongzhou here. Guangyuan Prefecture is just a remote and small Tuzhou, how can it be considered a big battle? As soon as the thousands of soldiers and horses arrived, they fell apart like chickens and dogs. Jiaozhi can be regarded as one of the largest countries around the Great Song Dynasty, but whenever troops are dispatched, they are not comparable there. ”

Shi Quanbin's eyes lit up, and he said to Xu Ping: "What I originally meant was to listen to you talk about the fight against Guangyuan Prefecture in these days, go back to the official family, and say a few good words for you." I, the Great Song Border Officer, can really suppress the rebellion cleanly like you, how many people can there be? If you can fight the Cochins and win another big victory, it's a great achievement! ”

Xu Ping was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem. In his calculations, the strength in his hands is extremely sufficient, and a counterattack at the top is an extremely common thing, and it is not worth boasting about at all. Now after Shi Quanbin mentioned it, he remembered that he was now in the Great Song Dynasty, a dynasty that had been defeated many times abroad.

If you can really wipe out 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jiaozhi, it seems that this kind of big victory, since the unification of the Central Plains, there are really not many in the history of the Great Song Dynasty? Is it really a great honor? (To be continued.) )
