Chapter 428: Zhao Linfu and Cao Hu'er
Seeing Duan Shaojun's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Chen Senjun's heart jumped, and his head lowered more and more. "Long history, you are serious, you have come up with a way to boil snowflake salt from inferior salt soil, and prepare dry food for ten thousand people for five days in the shortest time, this is a great achievement, how can the general be the kind of unreasonable person."
The general is not an unreasonable person, but for you, a talent recommended by Zhao Linfu, don't you play with you, wouldn't you be too sorry for the general himself?
"It's better to take credit for what is not credited, this is just the duty of this official. If there is merit, it is also the work of concerted efforts. Duan Shaojun laughed and shook his head disapprovingly. With just a small amount of credit, can you be promoted? I really can't see such a credit.
The important thing is that the general doesn't like himself, can it be difficult to forget it for himself, and take credit?
Chen Lushi smiled helplessly and didn't answer, he could also feel that Duan Changshi seemed to know something, but since he didn't want to break it, what should he do, and how else could he do it.

"The last general will see Eun Xiang." A burly man with a powerful martial arts force, but a white and yellow beard bowed down in Zhao Linfu's study, extremely respectful.
"It turned out to be General Kirch, hurry up and excuse me." Zhao Linfu put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the person who bowed down and smiled. "Is Cao Fang's envoy good?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Cao Fangshi is strong and healthy, and a few days before the end of the world, he also came to the battle formation in person and killed more than ten Qihu heads. This time, in order to report his military exploits to the court, the special general came to visit Eun Xiang. Kirch said with a look of gratitude. The military affairs of the border fortress are heavy, and the defense makes it difficult to leave, and it is not strange to hope for grace. ”
"I can't imagine that I haven't seen him for a few years, this Cao Hu'er is still so hearty, why, I'm afraid that if I come, the old man will stay in Beijing and can't do it?" Zhao Linfu laughed, stroked his long beard, motioned for Na Kirch to sit down, and let people serve tea.
Kirch sat down after thanking him, and shook his head at the words. "Of course not, the defense envoys are those who are worried about the military department, over the years, the defense envoys have worked diligently in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Dynasty to defend the border for the country, but there are always people in the DPRK and China who attack them. Fortunately, Enxiang knew the hardships and dangers of the northern frontier, so the defense envoy was able to preserve it and continue to serve the court and Enxiang......"
After laughing for a while, Zhao Linfu gradually regained his usual calmness and calmness, took a sip of fragrant tea and said lightly. "What did the old man say about Cao Hu'er?"
"In return, things have been done properly, and I promise not to leave a trace. Surely no one will know that it is our Shengzhou army's hands. Kirch's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness in his reply.
"Then you mean to say that your Shengzhou Army has always done things without leakage, right?" Zhao Linfu smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"Enxiang, our Shengzhou army is definitely one of the best elites in the border army, otherwise, how can we be worthy of Enxiang's constant care." Kirch quickly explained with a smile.
"As long as there is the slightest omission, then the position of your general's Shengzhou defense envoy will not be able to be maintained, and there may even be a head. DID YOU KNOW? Zhao Linfu said coldly.
Kirch nodded heavily. "Don't worry, my family sent a confidant to do it, and it was handled very cleanly. The man's body had been incinerated to the ground, leaving no clues. The only people who know about this matter, except for the general and the last general of my family, are only those few dead soldiers, and no one knows about it. ”
Zhao Linfu, who heard this explanation, bowed slightly, motioned for Na Colch to drink tea, and then said unhurriedly. "It seems that Cao Hu'er has done a lot of such a handiwork, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Kirch's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but stiffen. raised his head and looked at Zhao Linfu, whose expression seemed to be hidden behind the shadows. "Grace, what you said ......"
"A year and a half ago, Shengzhou Beijia was killed by a Qihu ranger when he went out to patrol various counties, and in less than two months, Shengzhou Beijia's fifth concubine became Cao Huer's seventh concubine. The important thing is that this concubine named My Fair Lady is a young man in Shengzhou Qinglou, Cao Hu'er wanted it several times, but Zhao Beijia stopped it, and the two had a grudge at that time, and after that, Zhao Beijia wrote several times to impeach Cao Hu'er for killing good and risking merit......"
Every time Zhao Linfu said a word, Kirch's face became a little whiter. Even the teacup in his hand poured out the tea, and he didn't notice it.
"Three months ago, your general Cao took the liberty of provoking a small tribe of Qihu outside the surrendered city, beheading 132 young and strong people for military exploits, and killing 372 old and weak women and children, and capturing more than 13,400 cattle and sheep. Why, what the old man said shouldn't be fake, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Kirch's face instantly stiffened, and he quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. "Enxiang, Enxiang, what do you mean by this, my general is fiercely loyal to Enxiang, and heaven and earth can know ......"
"Okay, you Qiu Ba, get out of here, if the old man hadn't been respectful to the old man, how would he have suppressed these things?" Zhao Linfu drank the tea slowly, and when the Kirch knocked his head more than ten times, and there was faint blood on the floor, he snorted and shouted.
"Enxiang's great kindness, the last general and my general will not dare to forget, as Enxiang's eagle dog, for Enxiang's work of dogs and horses." Kirch still kowtowed a few more times, and then cautiously raised his head and spoke.
"Get up...... Don't let outsiders see the joke. You Coulch and Cao Hu'er were both carried by the old man, and now, far away in the border area, you can rely on your own skills to lay this family business. The old man will only be pleased, but he has to knock and knock you, so as not to get too carried away, if it comes to that point, let alone the old man, even if the Son of Heaven wants to protect you, he can't keep it. ”
Kirch hurriedly gave another thank-you word. Only then did the guest and the host continue to sit down, and Kirch had a deeper understanding of this treacherous old fellow, and the matter of the surrendered city in this attack could be said to have been done extremely hidden, and no army was dispatched.
It was only the 2,000 pro-army of Cao Fang's envoy, and afterwards, the young and old people of the tribe were all wiped out, and those women were all killed later, and they all ended up in the same fate, only those cattle, sheep and property were used as military funds. But he couldn't have imagined that this grace minister not only knew about this, but even the number of people was so accurate, how not to shock Kirch.
It was as if when he was doing something to destroy the mouth, Zhao Linfu stood next to him and counted the heads himself. This made Colch react at the first time, General Cao had Zhao Linfu's people by his side, and he had to be a henchman.
#####
However, if it is really General Cao's henchmen, every one of them is a powerful general, and they are all highly trusted by General Cao. Even if he went back and told General Cao, what could he do?
In this way, making General Cao suspicious of his right-hand man will inevitably cause a serious blow to morale, and if he does not report it, in case Enxiang leaks it to General Cao through other channels, then his situation is extremely dangerous.
Maybe one day he will die in the camp for no apparent reason. Or, when the leader patrolled the border, he was mistakenly killed by his men, or he was surrounded by the Khuhu army. In short, in that kind of place where the emperor is far away, General Cao has countless ways to deal with himself.
Zhao Linfu slowly sipped the best Longtuan fragrant tea, with a face of wisdom beads in his hand, and occasionally, he looked at the change of face with great interest, and the sweat was like rain. There is a sense of accomplishment in my heart, and this is the joy of grasping authority and calculating people's hearts.
"I don't know what Enxiang needs to do. Please also show me your kindness. "Colch was able to be sent to Beijing by Cao Hu'er to make contributions, so he was naturally not stupid. After figuring it out, Kirch took a deep breath. Respectfully bowed to Zhao Linfu again.
Zhao Linfu waved his hand, looking disapproving. "He Cao Hu'er is so honest, how can the old man do anything to him Cao someone, don't be careful, get up quickly. Today's prisoner, the Son of Heaven is very comforted, ready to surrender the city in the northeast of Shengzhou, and set up a defense envoy, as for the candidate, the old man is very embarrassed......"
