"Any more gossip?"

Guan Ning was slightly startled.

Are you the second generation Lu Junyan?

Why so much gossip?

However, he also knew that Guan Wentong was the general of the garrison in Huaizhou, so it was normal for him to know these inside stories.

Guan Wentong didn't know what Guan Ning was thinking, so he continued: "This matter has been suppressed so as not to cause panic. After all, if three parties start a war at the same time, the country will inevitably be in chaos."

"The imperial court directly agreed to Liang Jun's request for an armistice because of this consideration. It is said that General Anbei has gone north to Yunzhou..."

Guan Wentong continued: "But to be honest, we generally believe that replacing the Zhenbei Army with the Anbei Army is the most unwise decision made by His Majesty, so what you said is really possible."

"Take care and stay vigilant at all times. Wei will not accept defeat and may make a comeback soon."

Guan Ning warned.

"Um."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

After a few more pleasantries, Guan Ning left.

Guan Wentong is a trustworthy person, and he may not be able to use it in the future. This is a resource left by his father.

With his rise, these resources can also be utilized.

Only if you have the ability, will people follow you and take refuge in you.

If he didn't show his military talents this time and didn't make any achievements.

Absolutely no one will pay attention to him.

This is reality.

It was finally time to officially return to the DPRK.

When he returned to Beijing this time, in addition to Guan Ning and his Guan family army, there were also Yang Su, Gao Lian and other people sent by the court in preparation for the war...

Return to the capital.

Because there is a large army, the speed is not very fast, and it will take at least more than a month to return to Shangjing.

The route has been set.

This is exactly the way he came when he first came.

There were many officials waiting along the way, showing a warm welcome. When they took a rest along the way, they were treated with great lavishness.

It's time to whitewash peace again.

Shouldn’t the most important thing at this time be post-war reconstruction?

Due to the intrusion caused by the war, the two prefectures of Huaiyuan were devastated. There was no farming at all this year, which meant that there was no harvest for the whole year.

Where do their food come from?

When the war came, taxes were increased throughout the south and southwest regions...

Along the way, we saw a lot of refugees. At this time, the only thing they could rely on was the country.

But does the country have money?

Guan Ning had sorted out the accounts at the Ministry of Accounts, so he knew the imperial court's financial situation best.

This country is only superficially prosperous.

During this trip, he was able to actually see the people's livelihood conditions in various places.

Emperor Longjing was not a wise king.

The so-called Mingjun is just something touted, just an appearance.

Strictly speaking, he was just a powerful emperor.

If you do these things all day long, how can you take into account the development of people's livelihood?

The journey was relatively peaceful. Although he received many praises and there were many people waiting for him to pass by, Guan Ning rarely showed up.

He had been talking to Yang Su these days and made a request.

That is the issue of fighting for the military support of Guan Jiajun. We have been fighting with him for so long, but we have actually not received much money.

Only by occasionally capturing some can we distribute a small amount.

Basically, it depends on faith and loyalty to him, but this obviously doesn't work. Who will follow you without money?

Yang Su is the commander-in-chief of the pre-war headquarters, so he must be looking for him.

"This is no problem."

Yang Su promised: "The military pay and commendations will definitely not be less. Haven't you already applied for merit? Just follow that."

Guan Ning frowned.

Although what he proposed was normal, the quantity was not large, and Yang Su actually agreed.

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this victorious army, so he will not treat you badly."

Yang Su said: "This army was established under special circumstances during the war, but it does not have a formal establishment."

"You should know that the right to recruit and form the army lies with the Ministry of War, and military status and so on are all in the Governor's Mansion. Your Guan family army is very embarrassed."

After so many days, when it was almost time to go to the capital, Yang Su told him this sensitive matter.

"I probably know what you mean. You want to keep this army, but it's not realistic."

Yang Su said in a low voice: "The era of private military control has passed, especially a mature army."

"What if I don't pay?"

Guan Ning said: "Guan Jiajun all obeys me."

"If you don't hand it over, you give others a reason. It's one thing to take credit, but it's another thing to take credit and be arrogant. Can you understand? Many people are waiting for you to make mistakes."

Yang Su may also have a temper.

"It wouldn't be a problem for anyone else, but because it's you, it becomes complicated."

Yang Su said in a low voice: "You may have heard that the news that there was no news about you was sent back to Shangjing. Your Majesty was ready to confirm your death, and the Zhenbei Army was handed over to Yu Wenxiong."

Guan Ning nodded, of course he had heard about it.

If something really happened to him on the battlefield, the Zhenbei Army would have changed hands, and there would be absolutely sufficient reasons at that time.

"It stopped because of a good news I sent."

Yang Su sighed lowly.

"This also slaps everyone in the face. According to reports from my subordinates, many people are dissatisfied with me because of this matter. If my good news is delivered later, it may be another result..."

Guan Ning suddenly realized that he finally understood why Yang Su said these words to him. Because of the special circumstances during the war, he accidentally had a relationship with him, and therefore encountered rejection.

He noticed that during this trip, Yang Su and Gao Lian rarely talked to each other.

"Their intention is very obvious. Even if they temporarily suppress your contribution at that time, it won't be so embarrassing."

Yang Su asked again: "Do you think I can suppress you?"

"The situation at that time required a good news whether it was on the frontline battlefield or in the capital. Is it wrong to send a good news?"

Yang Su was very helpless.

"The good news is true, but just because I am the one who made the meritorious service, there is a problem."

Yang Su said nothing, obviously agreeing with Guan Ning's statement.

Guan Ning sneered and said: "No matter what, my contribution is real and no one can erase it. As for those who have treacherous intentions, I will settle the matter with them. I was too low-key before."

"Low-key?"

Yang Su was slightly stunned.

He has been going to the capital all the time. Although he has not seen Guan Ning, he knows his deeds.

"They say young people are frivolous and arrogant, so that's what I should do. It's time for me to have my own voice. I heard that after knowing about my accident, many ghosts and ghosts came out, but everyone pushed me away!"

Guan Ning said, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He was very angry after hearing about these things.

"What are you going to do?"

Yang Su asked doubtfully. During this period of time together, he got to know Guan Ning better. This person was by no means a good person.

After all, he was a ruthless man who wiped out more than 100,000 Wei troops.

"Get someone to operate on you."

"who?"

Guan Ning said calmly: "Pei Guogong Zheng Yi!"

Yang Su looked surprised and suspicious.
