Wei Tianqing led his soldiers to prepare to go out of the city, at this time when dusk, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street, one after another, Wei Tianqing's mood was very low, he was interested in a big victory this time, but the final result was like this, dispatched two thousand elite soldiers, a few days to march urgently, encircled and suppressed a small mountain, not only did not succeed, but lost more than 50 elite soldiers, which made him feel that he was still nesting in a fire, but there was nowhere to vent.

Chu Huan rode a horse and followed Wei Tianqing, seeing Wei Tianqing's mood, and asked softly, "My lord, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Wei Tianqing was interrupted by Chu Huan's voice, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Chu, I won't tell you, since I Wei Tianqing led the troops, I have never encountered such a...... Your Excellency the Governor has high expectations for us to send troops this time, who knows ......! He sighed and shook his head, looking very depressed.

Chu Huan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Little brother is the east, I want to invite Brother Wei to have a glass of wine, but I don't know if Brother Wei is willing?" ”

Wei Tianqing turned his head to look at Chu Huan: "Drinking?" ”

Chu Huan pointed to a tavern on the side of the street and said with a smile: "Little brother can't afford to invite a big restaurant, there is a tavern here, is Brother Wei willing to give in?" ”

Wei Tianqing hesitated for a moment, called a tooth general, and asked him to take people out of the city and back to the camp first, while he and Chu Huan arrived in front of the tavern, turned over and dismounted, handed over the horses to the guys who came up to feed the horses, and he entered the tavern with Chu Huan.

The tavern is not big, and there are not many sparse guests inside, seeing the general come in, the shopkeeper inside panicked, and vacated the only quiet place in the tavern, which is a small room, which is covered by a door curtain, Chu Huan and the two of them went inside and sat down, and the shopkeeper personally delivered the wine and food.

Chu Huan poured wine for Wei Tianqing, and also poured it for himself, Wei Tianqing picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and then shook his head and said, "I really can't figure it out, how could this be the result!" ”

Chu Huan poured it for Wei Tianqing again, and then said softly: "Brother Wei, this time we encircled and suppressed Heishui Mountain, but it was not for nothing!" ”

"You mean the weapons?" Wei Tianqing smiled bitterly: "What kind of harvest can those weapons be considered?" We have dozens of brothers who have died, and they are all fierce men who have been trained in summer and summer, and winter in winter...... The most infuriating thing is that if you die in the fight, it will be fine, but you will die in those traps, and the death will be miserable......! His face was full of anger, and he clenched his fists: "I must avenge this revenge, those bandits, I will dig them out one by one and kill them all!" ”

Chu Huan said with a straight face: "Brother Wei, you can't say that. We seem to have lost this time, but we have gained a lot. ”

Wei Tianqing said curiously: "How do you say this? ”

"The situation of Heishui Mountain, Brother Wei is also clear." Chu Huan said calmly: "Now it seems that it is a hidden hiding point, a place used by the rebel party to store weapons and equipment. After a pause, Zhengse said: "Heishui Mountain is a poor mountain and a water, few people come to it, it doesn't attract people's attention at all, and there are many organs on the mountain, such a place is indeed an excellent place to hide weapons and equipment." If it weren't for this attack, I'm afraid no one would know that such a huge number of weapons and equipment were hidden in this Heishui Mountain. ”

Wei Tianqing nodded and said, "Brother Chu, I won't tell you, I found those weapons in the underground secret room, and I was in a cold sweat...... Evil heart, great evil heart. This is something found on the boundary of the West Mountain Road, if these weapons and equipment are really used to rebel...... The Governor will inevitably be blamed for negligence. Looking at Chu Huan, he said solemnly: "Brother Chu, you may not understand, although the Governor is in a high position, he is extremely cautious, the position of the Governor of Xishan Road, I don't know how many people are staring, but the Governor has made a mistake, and the consequences are unimaginable." ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "Little brother understands." Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise these weapons would have been hoarded and there would be endless disasters. They used Heishui Mountain as a stronghold, and it must have been carefully chosen, regardless of whether the underground secret passage on the mountain was dug and built by themselves or not, the people behind it must be extraordinary. ”

Wei Tianqing picked up the wine glass, drank half a glass, frowned and said, "Over the years, the Governor has not neglected the supervision of the states of Xishan Dao...... Tongzhou is indeed the place where the people's grievances are the heaviest, and there are often turmoil, but everything is still under control, but I have never heard of such a powerful chaotic party. Brother Chu, you also know, when we were in this group of people, their kung fu was really not weak, they were clear-sighted, and they were by no means ordinary rabble, but I really can't think of which group of bandits in Tongzhou have such strength? ”

Chu Huan said: "Brother Wei naturally won't think of it, otherwise if Brother Wei knew that this group of people existed, they would not have survived to this day." ”

Wei Tianqing nodded.

"This time I destroyed Heishui Mountain, which seemed to let them get away, but in fact it destroyed their foundation." Chu Huan said: "Heishui Mountain, a unique place to hide equipment, is not easy to find. Although they have now transferred a large number of weapons, it is not easy to find a safe place to hide! ”

Wei Tianqing seemed to understand something, his brows furrowed, and he nodded: "Not bad." We planned to send troops, but it was only a few days ago, even if they got the news to transfer the weapons as soon as possible, it must be very hurried, the amount of that batch of materials is huge, they can't have a way not to miss a trace, as long as Zhao Guangqing sends his officers and soldiers to search around, they will definitely find out some clues. This time, let's go back to Yunshan Mansion, I will immediately ask the Governor, and ask the Shenyi Guard to come out again, and the Shenyi Guard will come over when the time comes, even if those bandits have the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to escape the eyes and ears of the Shenyi Guard! ”

Chu Huan picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with Wei Tianqing before frowning and said, "Brother Wei, in fact, there is something that the junior brother has been unable to figure out!" ”

"What?"

"Little brother doesn't know much about Zhao Zhizhou, I don't know how much Brother Wei knows about him?" Chu Huan stared at Wei Tianqing, lowered his voice and said, "Forgive the little brother for taking the liberty to ask, this Zhao Zhizhou ...... Do you have the ability to govern? ”

Wei Tianqing was stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his voice and said: "If you want to talk about the talent of governance, Zhao Guangqing still has some ability. Zhao Guangqing's father once followed the saint to the south and the north, was a scribe, was responsible for the record of grain and straw, after the saint set the world, his father entered the household department, did a principal, Zhao Guangqing was also released as a petty official. This person was an official at the beginning, quite talented, every time he was in office, he could have some political achievements, and because of this, this official was promoted quickly, eleven years ago, he became the ...... of Tongzhou Zhizhou! ”

"Eleven years ago?" Chu Huan was slightly surprised: "Brother Wei, do you mean that this Zhao Guangqing has been in Tongzhou for eleven years, but he has not been transferred and promoted?" ”

Wei Tianqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Chu, many people know about this, and it has become a strange talk in the officialdom. This Tongzhou is a poor state, and it is a state with frequent turmoil, everyone in the officialdom knows that the seats of this Tongzhou Zhizhou are all thorns, whoever sits on it, it is all a butt, this world is sixteen, sixty-six states, everyone asks for the position of Zhizhou, but there are three states where the position of Zhizhou is afraid to avoid, and Tongzhou Zhizhou is one of them! ”

"Why is that?" Chu Huanqi said.

Wei Tianqing explained: "I also said that the natural conditions in Tongzhou are very bad, and most of them are mountains and forests, there is not much arable land, and there will be natural disasters every two years, either the Heishui River floods, bursts the embankment and floods, or it is a drought and dry, the harvest is not good, and there are no mineral deposits on the ground in Tongzhou, so it is very poor." Since the founding of the country, there will be riots every year, and the land of the six states of Xishan Road, the folk customs of this Tongzhou are the most barbaric, and it is difficult to domesticate ......! ”

Chu Huan shook his head and said: "Brother Wei, with all due respect, the people in this world are actually not Diao people, and there are very few people who are difficult to domesticate. The people did not ask for much, and they were satisfied if they could eat and sleep warmly. Even if they themselves don't have enough food and clothing, but their parents, wives and children also suffer like this, what do you think they should do? ”

Wei Tianqing frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Chu, wake up the dreamer with a word." sighed: "I, Wei Tianqing, am also from a poor background, and I have been in the officialdom for a long time, and I have unconsciously changed my taste when I speak......!" ”

Chu Huan hurriedly said, "Brother Wei, don't say that. Your thoughts, the younger brother can also understand, you hope that the world is peaceful, there is no turmoil, there is no fighting, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

Wei Tianqing immediately said: "Brother Chu, who knows me." ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Brother Wei, let's continue to talk about Zhao Zhizhou, how can he be willing to stay here until now?" ”

"Willingly?" Wei Tianqing immediately shook his head and said, "How could he be willing." In order to leave here, he even took the initiative to resign, but the court did not allow it, and then he deliberately ran an errand, and then took the initiative to ask for guilt, hoping that the court would demote and transfer, but the court was still not allowed. The court was determined to press him in Tongzhou, and the reason was because when Zhao Guangqing first arrived in Tongzhou, he was ready to do a lot of work and made some political achievements. Before him, several governors were unable to suppress Tongzhou, turmoil continued, the annual tax paid was only three or four percent, for this cut two, closed three, after Zhao Guangqing arrived, not only the people became a lot less, but also the annual tax can be paid six or seven percent, it is so, the court feels that the position of Tongzhou Zhizhou belongs to him, not depreciated or promoted, according to death here, Zhao Guangqing wanted to make political achievements to get promoted, who knows but it is self-defeating...... He stayed for more than ten years, and he didn't get out of the day. ”

Chu Huan was aggressive, but he frowned instantly, and asked softly: "In this way, this Zhao Zhizhou does have the talent for governance, and he is also well-organized for Tongzhou?" ”

Wei Tianqing nodded: "At least it used to be." Qi Dao: "Brother Chu, why are you so interested in him?" ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and said, "Junior brother is just curious, how could such a shrewd person know nothing about the situation in Heishui Mountain?" "I seemed to want to say something, but I didn't say it after all.

Wei Tianqing frowned and said, "Brother Chu, there are only you and me here, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" ”

Chu Huan thought for a while before he said, "I have seen a large number of weapons in Heishui Mountain, and Brother Wei and I have seen them, and they have never been used...... The younger brother thought that although Heishui Mountain was a place to hide weapons, it was not a place to build weapons. To make steel knives, make arrows, make strong crossbows, this is not a simple matter, it requires a large number of craftsmen and blacksmiths, and it also requires a lot of materials, to make steel knives, the iron arrows of arrows need a lot of iron ore, and the strong crossbow, that is not something that ordinary people can make, there has always been only a small amount of equipment in the army, and the cost is also extremely expensive...... After these weapons were created, they were transported to Heishui Mountain, and no one checked the checkpoints along the way? How could tens of thousands of weapons containing evil intentions be created so easily, and so easily transported to Heishui Mountain to hide? Speaking of this, Chu Huan's brows furrowed and he stared at Wei Tianqing: "Brother Wei, do you say that the bandits in Heishui Mountain really have such an ability to reach the sky?" ”
