Chapter 229: Intrigues

Xiao Han apologized to the two: "I have to go out and have a look, the two adults wait a minute." The www.biquge.info two of them naturally followed each other, watching Xiao Han walk out.

Xiao Han opened the door of the hall and saw Lin Junshen standing outside, saw him come out, and reported that Master Fahe of the Fawang Temple of Jiuhua Mountain was waiting outside the ya, saying that there was something important.

Although he had been unhappy with these bald donkeys, reading on the face of Shaolin Temple, Xiao Han hurriedly came out and saw Fa He with Tianchi Nunnery Hui Bing Lao Nun and more than a dozen monks and nuns waiting outside.

Seeing Xiao Han come out, Fa He was slightly ashamed on his face, and he and Hui Bing stepped forward to salute at the same time, Xiao Han returned the salute lightly and asked, "The two masters are not staying in Jiuhua Mountain, do you have something to do with me?"

Fa He put his palms together and said: "Amitabha, the Buddha blesses, Xiao Zhangmen is safe and sound, and the poor monk is relieved." Hui Bing followed: "Master Xiao can't die with thunder, he has God's blessing." Xiao Han frowned and said, "Didn't you two come to me just to praise me in person? ”

The two of them stiffened, and said: "Don't blame Master Xiao, we have been disrespectful to you in the past, and we think that everyone belongs to the same three sects, and I hope that Master Xiao will not care about the past suspicions." Hui Bing continued: "The two of us heard that Master Xiao was rescued by the Jiangnan army, and I was really happy, so I came to visit." ”

Xiao Han said lightly: "I'm fine, the two of you are worried, if it's okay, you two can go back, I still have something to discuss with Lord He." ”

Fahe and Hui Bing's eyes flickered, and Fahe said embarrassedly: "I heard that the disciples of the three sects have suffered heavy losses, and the three sects must be shocked when they receive the report, and the poor monk wants to ask Master Xiao to send someone to report to the three sects, which is also convenient for the three sects to send disciples again." ”

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the intention of the two of them to come today. The two were afraid that the three sects would blame them for not saving them when they saw death, so they begged him to clear their name. Thinking that the Shaolin Temple sent people to help them guard Jiuhua Mountain, but they had an accident but didn't see a single person, these thieves wished they were killed, and they still had to defend them? This is not Xiao Han's character at all.

Xiao Han said coldly: "I will report myself, as for the three sects not sending disciples, there is no need for the two of them to worry." The two of them were red-faced, and Fa He waved his hand again and again: "That's not what it means, we are also subordinates of the three sects, receiving orders from the three sects, and always paying attention to protecting the safety of the head of Xiao." Unexpectedly, the ghost palace was dormant in Jiuhua Mountain, and we didn't find it, Master Xingzheng would be angry when he knew it, and Master Xiao had lost so many people, and everyone was not easy to explain. ”

Xiao Han sneered: "What do you think?" Hui Bing Lao Ni said: "After all, Master Xiao is also from Jiuhua Mountain, and this matter will damage the reputation of the two factions, so it is better to report it as soon as possible and wait for the instructions of the three sects." ”

Xiao Han looked at the two, and the two of them were stared at by him quite unnaturally, and slowly turned their heads. Xiao Han sneered: "Don't worry, I will do things by myself, and I will never be involved with you." ”

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the same time: "Legend has it that the head of the Jianghu clan understands righteousness, and now it is true when I see it." Xiao Han said coldly: "I have something to trouble the two to tell the three sects, just say that I have offended the Burning Heaven God Sect, they must put me to death, and it is useless to send more disciples." ”

The two of them were shocked: "Then how can it be done?" Xiao Han said lightly: "I have my own opinions, tell the three sects, they continue their business, I continue my business, no matter what the final result is, Xiao Han will live up to the expectations of the three sects." ”

The two looked at each other a few times, nodded solemnly in agreement, and gossiped a few words, and led people back to Jiuhua Mountain.

Now Xiao Han is very suspicious that there is a traitor in it, and he is right about the three sects

Xiao Han returned to the living room, Zhang Quanyue and He Chengyi were still waiting for him, and when they saw him coming back, they asked him what was going on, Xiao Han naturally wouldn't tell the truth and talked about it. Zhang Quan saw that his face was as usual, and said with a smile: "It must be a friend of Xiao's head in the rivers and lakes, and you will be busy in the future." ”

He Chengyi flattered: "The greater the ability, the more things there are, which is a good thing." Xiao Han knew that officialdom was used to touting, so he didn't care, and said with a smile: "Let's still say that it's important to get down to business." ”

Zhang Quanyue and He Chengyi nodded at the same time, sitting upright, and He Chengyi also took out a pen and paper to prepare for the record. Xiao Han knew that people were most afraid of stimulation, and now he had drawn a big cake for them, and they couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a bite, so they naturally respected him very much.

Xiao Han pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It's easier said than done, before doing something, you should first count the defeat, and then the victory." If King Zheng wants to succeed, the military, political officials, and militia are indispensable. ”

The two of them nodded again and again, and did not speak, just looked at him. Xiao Han continued: "The military is naturally the army, and the former sages have a cloud: power comes out of the barrel of a gun. The two looked puzzled, and it was inconvenient to ask.

Xiao Han paused for a moment, and then said: "Politician politics, both of them are people in the officialdom, so I don't need to say more, mobilize all forces, and win the moral and practical support of everyone. Officials and officials, officials are needed to govern the country, and they are officials who are loyal to themselves, Li Yu is even weaker than the lord of the country, it is the best time for us. The people are the people, and those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, and the two of them should understand the truth. Finally, there are soldiers, I have discussed with you two in the past the trick of wanting soldiers to win battles, I wonder if you two adults remember?"

The two nodded and said, "Naturally, I remember." Xiao Han said solemnly: "If you want people to work for you, you have to give people a little benefit, soldiers are ordinary people, and the things they want are very simple, nothing more than money and land, now the opportunity has come, but I don't know if you have the ability to seize it?"

The two of them were greatly excited, their cheeks were red with excitement, and their eyes were burning: "The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, if there is such a good opportunity, His Royal Highness King Zheng will definitely not let it go." He Chengyi rubbed his hands and said: "It is a great blessing to be able to get the guidance of Master Xiao, and we will also follow to establish a meritorious career." ”

Xiao Han said with a smile: "The eight opinions I said to His Royal Highness King Zheng in the past are just to be followed. And Wuping and Nanping should send Xizuo into the territory of the two countries as soon as possible, pay attention to all movements, and then secretly send people to contact the two countries, and provide help at the expense of gold silk. Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, after a long time, the two countries will inevitably be friendly with Jiangnan. Normally, it is necessary to strongly promise that if something happens between the two countries, the Jiangnan army can provide unconditional support as soon as possible. ”

He Chengyi sighed lightly and said: "Even if we obtain military power by then, the army has neglected training in recent years, what if the Great Song Dynasty learns that it will send troops? Even if we defeat Zhang Wenbiao and obtain Wuping and Nanping, we will not be able to resist the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

This is also what Zhang Quanyue was worried about, and he followed: "You said before that the method of training the soldiers, but unfortunately the official tried it out in the state, and the officers strongly opposed it, and the soldiers were even more unwilling to endure hardships and be trained. ”

Xiao Han didn't expect this to happen, so you can see how much resistance it will cause if you want to change. Xiao Han had also thought of this before he spoke, and said with a slight smile: "This matter should not be rushed, only by obtaining military power can it be vigorously implemented throughout the country." When it comes to intrigue, I am not an opponent of your adults, so I can only wait for good news. ”

The two smiled heartily, and Zhang Quanyue nodded and said: "As soon as you say this, I have an opinion in my heart, and as for the affairs of the court, I will handle it." ”

Xiao Han said with a smile: "I'm waiting for good news, it's just that I'm wandering around the rivers and lakes, and my whereabouts are uncertain, if you have something to look for me, someone has to contact me." Zhang Quanyue was obedient and immediately smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, His Royal Highness King Zheng has already ordered Zhang Cheng and Zhao An to each lead a team of 100 people to be responsible for protection and communication, and ten other scouts to contact me." ”

Xiao Han was overjoyed, an army of 200 people protected himself, and he had not allowed himself to go to the sky? This time it was not as usual, although the 60 disciples of the three sects were all strong in martial arts, most of them used swords when facing the enemy, but the army was different, not only with swords and other weapons, but also with long-range attack weapons such as bows and arrows.

Xiao Han was still thinking about paying for two more steel ball guns, but he thought that the output of that thing was too low, and the accuracy was poor, so it would be scrapped after a few times, wasting money in vain. I couldn't find the right thing to make a spring, and I couldn't solve the problem of sealing the barrel of a steel ball gun, and now that I had the protection of the army, it was useless to ask for that thing.

The Southern Tang Dynasty inherited the Tang system, in addition to the forbidden army guarding the capital, set up a box army, each box ten troops, each army 2,500 people, set up a box to command one person, each army set up a command envoy, all Yu Hou number of people. Each army has five battalions, with one commander and one deputy commander. The battalion is the capital, each with 100 people, one person at the head of the main and deputy capitals, and another chief and deputy soldiers and horses for the cavalry.

Because Zhang Quanyue participated in the Battle of Huainan, Zheng Renze, the commander of Chizhou Xiangdu, has always respected him, and furthermore, Zheng Renze is also Li Congshan's party, and has already secretly defected to King Zheng. It was not a problem at all to allocate two hundred men from his command to protect Xiao Han.

The government and the rivers and lakes officially colluded together, and Xiao Han didn't know what he would be written about if he wrote the history of this dynasty a few decades later. Whatever, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, take one step at a time.

After the business was over, Zhang Quanyue immediately called Zhang Cheng and Zhao An to meet Xiao Han. Both of them are the heads of the valley to save people, so they naturally have known each other for a long time. Xiao Han talked to them enthusiastically, the two didn't expect him to be approachable and didn't have any shelf, so they immediately patted their chests and said that they would do their best to protect him and never let Xiao make a mistake.

After talking for most of the day, it was almost noon, He Chengyi invited all Xiao Han's brothers and sisters to dinner, Xiao Han was happy this time, and called everyone over. Seeing Xiao Han's red face, everyone swept away the clouds of yesterday, knew that there must be good things, and happily entered the table, and this meal was over for more than an hour.

Xiao Han thanked the two for their hospitality and led everyone out of the yamen, Zhang Cheng and Zhao An had already led two hundred soldiers with bright armor to wait outside, confusing everyone, and heard that Zhang Quanyue sent them to protect Xiao Han, and everyone changed their faces.

Chai Xinyue said softly: "This is not appropriate, right? We have never had dealings with the government, and if the three sects know, it will cause trouble." Murong Qiuyu said lightly: "There are many more people than before." ”

Meng Wanxi has never found the five monsters, and she is in a very bad mood, seeing that Xiao Han has made such a big formation again, she said coldly: "It's much more majestic than before, we won't call you Xiao Zhangmen in the future, but Xiao Dutou." ”

Xiao Han felt very sorry for her, the five bodyguards made him disappear, and it was nothing for people to say a few words. Although Luo Beihong and the others felt that it was inappropriate, they thought that Xiao Han had been dangerous all the way, and the three sects had sent more than 120 people twice to consume them, and if there was army protection, it should be somewhat improved.

Besides, if Li Yueying sent troops to protect Xiao Han, everyone naturally had nothing to say, and everyone knew that the two of them were as good as honey and oil, and they were only one wedding in the situation.

Zhang Quanyue and He Chengyi personally came out to see them off, and Xiao Han was just about to take people to set off, when suddenly five figures rushed down from the opposite roof, rushing straight to Xiao Han.
