Han Gang had no way of knowing what the Khitans were worried about.

But even if he knew the truth, he wouldn't take it to heart. Dealing with the ministers of an enemy country is as difficult as a mouse putting a bell on a cat. Even if Xiao Xi has the intention to harm himself, the manpower and means he can use are extremely limited, and they are even useless.

He still has a lot to worry about. But he has already found a home for the job he is doing, "Everything here is going to be a lot of trouble." ”

"The lower officials are divided into internal affairs, and they dare not call it their labor." Su Ziyuan said a word, and he was about to go out in a hurry.

"Is Ling Yanke okay?" Han Gang asked casually.

Speaking of his daughter, Su Ziyuan had a smile on his face, "The labor movement makes me worried, and the little girl has been much better recently." ”

Han Gang is very optimistic about Su Ziyuan's youngest daughter, and he also wants to book a good kiss for his son. However, Su Mian had just passed away, and he rushed to the door to propose his relatives, which was really good. Let's wait a year and a half.

Speaking of children, when he came out, Yun Niang and Zhou Nan were both pregnant, and I don't know what the current situation of Lu Dao is. If everything is fine, in more than half a year, he will be able to have two more children.

Zhang Dian watched Su Ziyuan leave: "It seems that only Su Boxu can do it in Yongzhou Zhizhou." ”

"Of course, there is also the grace of his father here, and he is the only one who can do it."

"That's right, Yukun. Have you heard that the Jiaozhi thief army can break Yongzhou because of the idea of a Han person. ”

"I heard." Han Gang nodded, and his face turned cold, "But this kind of thief, as long as the officials and soldiers are pressing, a letter can make Jiaozhi hand over people." When the time comes, there will be a thousand cuts, and the Ming canonical punishment will not be a problem. But the most hateful thing is that the thief does not change, and he dares to kill and set fire on the way back. ”

Li Changjie led the last group of Jiaozhi troops to cross the river and return to the country, following the original path of Zongji, and on the way back, he killed all the remaining people in the four or five villages along the way, such as Yongping and Taiping.

Originally, when Zong Kang led the army to attack Yongzhou, although he robbed and robbed, killed and killed, and set fire, but he did not achieve the point of uprooting, Yongzhou was waiting in front, and he had no intention of wasting time, and some people were left in several villages.

It's just that when the defeated army returned to the division a few days ago and passed by these villages, they arrived without scruples to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The people will not have time to flee. The number of villages combined is several thousand.

Zhang Dan's eyes also became cold, "It seems that according to what Yukun said, you will repay Qiongyu with Qiongyu, 'always think it is good'!" ”

……………………

At the end of the day's work, Lu Huiqing returned to the house with exhaustion.

In the morning, the Chongzheng Palace was discussed, and for the sake of a few edicts, he and Wu Chong and Feng Jing stood up several times, and the most difficult result was to postpone the discussion; And in the afternoon, Lu Huiqing suddenly found himself in the public house, and it was also indispensable to fight with others, Wang Jue and Feng Jingjing were not fuel-efficient lamps, if there was a little negligence, it would be an irreparable result. And after the evening was dispersed, he went to Wang Anshi's mansion again, and did not come back until the second watch.

"Big brother, you're back." Lu Huiqing returned to the study, and his only younger brother Lu Shengqing, who was still working in Beijing, was waiting for him.

Lu Huiqing nodded and sat in his place. Holding his head in his hands, his face full of sleepiness. Although he had to maintain the bearing of the deacon Zai, the fatigue in his body could not be concealed, the bags under his eyes came out, and his lower eyelids were blue, and he could see at a glance that he had not had a good rest for several days.

"Big brother Fang just went to see Wang Xianggong, right? Can you still go to court tomorrow? Lu Shengqing asked.

"Probably not." Lu Huiqing shook her head, "I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit today, although it is almost ready, but I still have to rest for two days before I can do it...... It's just a few more words about Yongzhou that it has dragged on until now. ”

"The news of Yongzhou's victory, Wang Xianggong should have known the truth yesterday, right?"

Lu Huiqing said: "The night before yesterday, the Son of Heaven asked someone to send a copy of the good news to the Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, it was Weng's son-in-law." ”

"Han Gang's good news is also interesting." Lu Shengqing sneered: "The imperial court transferred two thousand soldiers, but Han Gang said that it was one thousand and five in the good news. This empty salary matter was poked out like this, and Han Gang was not afraid that those commanders under his command would lose their officials and offend because of such a small mistake. ”

"I don't know anything about the empty salary in the army, I just pretend to be deaf and dumb. Han Gang dared to write like this, because he had no fear, a big victory, Wu Chong Feng Jingjing did not dare to touch the frieze at this time, who cares about these little things. Han Gang is becoming more and more likely to make a fuss about the folds, which makes Lu Huiqing, who watched Han Gang start from the nine grades, with a lot of emotion, "The gap between 1,500 and 2,000 is not only in those 500 people. One starts with 'one' and the other starts with 'two'. The two sides feel different! More than 1,000 people defeated 100,000 thieves, and more than 2,000 people defeated 100,000 thieves, which is very far behind, and the evaluation in the eyes of the Son of Heaven is also very poor. You go and ask the people outside, it's more to their taste. ”

"It's better to write about eight hundred people...... Lu Shengqing said stupidly, "Didn't the first few battles be fought by two commanded officers and soldiers plus thousands of surrendered barbarians?" Eight hundred to 100,000, isn't it much louder than 1,000 to 100,000? ”

"That Zhang Zihou must not turn his face with Han Yukun!" Through the incident of going south together, Lu Huiqing was already very sure that there was an alliance between Zhang Dian and Han Gang, and the relationship was closer than he imagined. "Don't say that the credit of the last two commanders sent by Zhang Zihou to support is too big, how can he share the credit in this Yongzhou battle? Han Gang has many places to join forces with Zhang Dian in the future, where will he be stingy with a few military exploits. ”

“…… Zhang Dun has picked up a big bargain. In Lu Shengqing's inexplicable expression, he couldn't tell whether he was jealous or envious.

"Zhang Zihou also grasped the time of sending troops well, this is his credit. If he had a gap with Han Gang, or hesitated for a moment and left the two commanders in Guizhou, Han Gang would suffer a great loss even if he was undefeated. Lu Huiqing sighed, "The Son of Heaven has always praised Zhang Zihou's timely dispatch of troops to the south, saying that this great victory, although Zhang Dian is in Guizhou, his merit is no less than leading the army into battle. The edict will come down tomorrow, and the officials recommended by Zhang Dian and Han Gang have all been approved. Both of them also have bounties. ”

"Bounty?! You haven't sent an envoy to confirm it yet, have you? Lu Shengqing tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "How can there be a reason to settle down so quickly." I remember that at the beginning, Hehuang and Jingnan sent people to confirm their achievements several times. ”

"Guangxi has already been confirmed." Lu Huiqing took out a book from the bookshelf and flipped through it boredly, as if she was no longer interested in this topic.

"Where can the words of the two horses in Guangxi count! In the past, didn't they all choose one person from the palace and one person from the court, and the two of them went out to review together? Lu Shengqing didn't notice Lu Huiqing's expression, just muttered in his own speculation. No matter from what point of view, he felt that the facts this time were very strange, and the name inside made it difficult for him to figure out, the whole thing had a strange atmosphere, it seemed that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court were anxious to confirm the results of this battle, "What are you anxious about?" ”

Lu Huiqing sighed, put down the scroll that had not read a word after reading a few pages, and muttered for a while, and finally told his younger brother the truth, "The question of the authenticity of Zhang Dian and Han Gang's exploits in Guangxi is not important, the Son of Heaven and the court need this victory to boost the morale of the people, so that both the Khitan and the party will not want to make a fuss about Jiaozhi again." Compared with Han Gang's lying about his military exploits in Yongzhou, the biggest problems at the moment are Luo Wucheng and Fengzhou. Therefore, the numbers on the good news will never be traced. Haven't you heard outside, the Son of Heaven in the palace today is unapologetic to Xiao Xi, and all the requests have been refused. ”

Lu Shengqing was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and then shook his head, "I really don't know if Lu Dao Zhangdun and Han Gang thought that there would be this one in advance, so they rushed south...... By the way, what official position did the two of them get promoted? ”

"Zhang Dian was transferred from Longtu Pavilion to Duanming Palace, and Han Gang was promoted to Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor, these two items have already been decided."

Lu Shengqing was taken aback: "Han Gang skipped the waiter?!" Wasn't he originally a straight dragon pavilion? ”

"Wang Yan has been promoted to the service system, is Han Gang's credit not as good as him." Lu Huiqing didn't have much prejudice against Han Gang's promotion, but just sighed a little, "Originally, Han Gang couldn't be promoted because his seniority was too shallow, and the credit had already been accumulated, but he was always pressed." Now that there is such a special honor, there is no reason not to be rewarded. ”

"Wang Yuanze, that's for him...... I heard that his feet can't move anymore, and the eldest brother didn't stop by to see him today? Lu Shengqing asked about the latest news of Wang Yan's condition.

"Nope. It happened to be Chen Anhe applying needles inside, so he didn't go in. Lu Huiqing shook her head. Since Wang Yan went to Beijing last year, he has been ill and often falls ill. After the winter, the illness is more acute. The Son of Heaven sent the doctor and sent medicine, but the people who came back said that they were basically not saved: "But even Chen Anhe and Dang can't be saved, there are not many days, and the first few imperial doctors said so after they came back." Maybe in a few days, he can be promoted to a straight bachelor along with Han Gang. ”

"Without Wang Yuanze, Zhang Dian and Han Gang are far away from Wuling, and there are not many trustworthy talents around Xianggong Jiefu." There was no joy or sorrow on Lu Shengqing's face, but there was some strange taste in his tone.

Lu Huiqing's eyes sharpened, but suddenly became extremely calm again. Wang Yan is Wang Anshi's eldest son and Wang Anshi's assistant, and he has a lot of advice around Wang Anshi. Since Wang Anshi entered Beijing for the second time, the person who made decisions around Wang Anshi has changed from Lu Huiqing to Wang Yan.

"It's just that Wang Yuanze is missing, and Han Gang is missing. If Xiangfu gets Han Yukun's help, three or five Wang Yuanze can't compare. ”
