The standard of the reception was not too high, and the officials and gentry of Hedong were not unenthusiastic, but when everything was settled on the most important current affairs, everything returned to the original point.

It can be said that almost all the prominent people in Hedong were present at the welcome banquet. Whenever Wang Jun wanted to bring the topic to the gathering of soldiers and horses to save the king, someone would immediately jump out and change the topic.

When the number of times increased, and when the people who came out were different every time, Wang Jun seemed to realize something. He stopped saying more, and instead frequently raised his glasses and invited everyone to drink, which made everyone at the banquet happy.

And return.

The former pacifier of Hedong and the predecessor Du Qianjia are still in Bianliang!

When Wang Jun left Beijing, he happened to see these two being brought back.

What made Wang Jun quite emotional was that his predecessor was locked in a prison car.

But the instigator, Qin Xueshi, the pacifier in front of Qianhedong Road, was dressed in common clothes and was riding a horse leisurely. He did not look like a guy who was about to be accused.

After bribing the escorting imperial guards, Wang Jun met the Du Qianji with a pot of strong wine and several kilograms of mutton. They were both generals, and they had a pleasant conversation.

After the former governor knew Wang Jun's identity, he naturally knew what Wang Jun meant. He readily made a condition to Wang Jun and told Wang Jun everything he knew.

, and more importantly, he handed over to Wang Jun a list of officers who he could trust in the army and who he could rely on.

For Wang Jun, who now enters Hedong Road almost alone, this is timely rain.

The only request of this former governor of the capital was that Wang Jun help take care of his family.

Once he leaves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go back. His family may be bullied and flattered by the officialdom. Especially for a guy like him who has basically no room for improvement, I'm afraid it will make those gluttons in Hedong even more miserable.

Have a carnival of sharing.

After hearing these words, Wang Jun immediately knew that the guy in front of him had probably earned a lot of money in Hedong, but he was just a man. Now he was a prisoner, and the guy who had worked so hard in the past could only

It can give others an advantage.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of himself.

After leaving the Guangrui Camp, his official position also rose sharply. At that time, the imperial court spared no effort to split the Guangrui Army.

As for myself, after being appreciated by Ma Xing, I was not so proud on the Hebei Road. I also earned a lot of money. However, as Ma Xing, a strong pacifier, gradually lost favor in front of the emperor, I also began to lose favor.

Old accounts have begun to be settled.

Not to mention anything else, the fact that he was once the deputy general of Guangrui Army was an unforgivable original sin. Therefore, he arrived in Bianliang and became a prisoner in Zhao Prison.

In order to save themselves, the family sold all their property in Hebei at a low price, and then took the money to Bianliang to save themselves.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what's a curse and what's a blessing.

If he were still in Hebei, he would have died in battle together with Ma Xing.

If there is no skin left, how can the hair be attached?

If Hebei is lost, not only the family business cannot be saved, but also the lives of the family members.

It's better now, because he went to prison and his family followed him to Bianliang, so they escaped this disaster.

And what about Ma Xing?

He was obviously fired.

If it were anyone else, I'm afraid he would have slapped his butt and gone back to his hometown to retire.

But this one was lucky because he had to work hard in Hebei even though he was dismissed from his post. However, the newly appointed Hebei pacifier Li Fang pushed and blocked him and walked slower than a tortoise. He was dragged to Hebei and lost.

This directly led to the death of Ma Xing and his son in battle.

If Li Fang went to Hebei in time, he would definitely be the one who died.

This filled Wang Jun's heart with anger.

In the Song Dynasty, there were only a few ministers like Ma Xing who risked their lives for the safety of the Song Dynasty. However, people like this were always suppressed and punished.

That Cui Ang, on the other hand, had done all the bad things, but he was always proud and rising steadily. It was this man who, after ruining the good situation on Hebei Road, ruined the 100,000-strong army in the northwest in the blink of an eye.

But now, this man suddenly changed and became the King of Zhao worshiped by the Liao people, and became the leader of the Liao people to attack Bianliang.

When he arrived at Hedong, Di Bao caught up with him, making Wang Jun so startled that he almost fell off his horse.

Is this fucking okay?

The huge capital city is deserted.

Living here with dozens of Golden Gun Squad members only occupied a small courtyard, which was about one-tenth of the size of this large mansion. From the size of this home under the jurisdiction of the capital, it can be seen that

This shows his previous prestige and financial resources.

There was no charcoal fire in the room. This was Wang Jun's special order. He wanted to calm down for a while, and cold was undoubtedly the best sobering soup.

Two of his followers made the bed and walked in front of him.

"You are tired too. Go down and have a good rest. Tomorrow, go find out where Zheng Qianha's family is!"

"General, shouldn't we first find the general Zheng Qianha mentioned?" a personal attendant whispered.

Wang Jun shook his head: "I guess these people have stepped aside now. Those who can really still be used, I'm afraid Zheng Qianha won't give it to me easily. When talking to him, the meaning behind his words is very obvious."

"So, the real useful thing is in the hands of his family?"

"In the hands of his wife." Wang Jun said: "So we must first find his family and arrange them properly, and then we will get what we want. And by doing this, we will undoubtedly show it to other people standing aside.

Follow me and you won't suffer any loss."

"Understood!"

My ex, Mr. Zheng, was not a loser, but he was just unlucky and met a comforter who took things for granted.

A self-righteous attempt to surrender was taken advantage of, and the advantageous situation was immediately reversed.

It seems that all the high-ranking civil servants above the court have this hobby.

I thought I had read all the military books and the Thirty-Six Strategies were very clear and logical, and that I could make generals who were wandering between life and death on the battlefield stunned for a while. But if it really fell into practical use, it would immediately be full of flaws.

The Qin pacifier was like this, and so was Cui Ang.

Among the civil servants I have experienced, Ma Xing seems to be the only one who does not interfere with how the generals fight their battles.

It's a pity that such a person died like this.

If you want to gain a foothold in Hedong, you must have soldiers.

Wang Jun vaguely felt that this era was probably no longer the same as before.

I seem to have heard a saying a long time ago that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.

It should have been said by General Xiao's younger brother Xiao Erlang.

That Xiao Erlang is now said to be the pacifier of Guizhou Road in the Song Dynasty. In fact, he is now basically similar to the vassal town in the late Tang Dynasty. He not only controls Guizhou Road, but also controls Yunnan Road. He also has great influence on Guangnan West Road.

of influence.

What such a person says will definitely not be wrong.

If you want to make a difference, you must have the force you can master.

In the past, I ignored this.

When he was in Hebei, Ma Xing's pacification envoy did indeed reuse himself, but he only allowed himself to train soldiers. Groups of soldiers walked out of him and were assigned by Ma Xing to generals one by one, while he

In the end, not a single soldier was left behind.

Or maybe the horse appeasement messenger doesn't trust him.

After all, it is still the relationship with General Xiao.

The only wrong step I made in my life was probably leaving Xiao Dalang.

If I were still following Xiao Dalang now, I would be the second-largest figure in the Western Army.

Wang Jun smiled bitterly.

Life is really unpredictable. What I thought was the great road to heaven at that time seems to be nothing more than a joke now.

However, since God has given me such an opportunity again, I will never let it pass by again.

God has taken pity on me!

Wang Jun closed his eyes.

The oil lamp on the desk was flickering by the wind that came from nowhere.

I don’t know how much time passed, but there was a gentle knocking sound outside the door.

"Please come in!" Wang Jun turned around.

A man in servant's clothes pushed the door open a crack, walked in quietly, and then gently closed the door.

"You are the doorkeeper of Qianha Mansion." Wang Jun smiled and said, "You opened the door when I came in today."

"Qianji has a good memory. He even remembers the face of a little person like me." The man said with a smile.

"Can I not remember it?" Wang Jun sighed: "When I left Beijing, Ambassador Quan told me that someone would come looking for me. So when I arrived in Hedong, I would try my best to write down their appearance for everyone I met.

, of course, those people in the banquet hall today are not counted."

The person who came in walked up to Wang Jun, took out a cup of seal from his arms and handed it to Wang Jun.
