The jailers talked lazily outside without saying a word.
"Second brother is here."
Wang Laoer came with a wooden box, "Check it out!"
A jailer smiled and said, "What do you mean, brother? Just go in!"
"It needs to be checked." Wang Laoer opened the lid and found a bowl of buns inside. He picked up his chopsticks and stirred the buns again. "Brother, come in!"
Everyone thought he was too cautious.
But this is just Wang Laoer being more serious.
After entering the prison, he stood in the middle and looked around.
"Second brother, go to the right!" a jailer reminded.
Someone on the left shouted, "Second brother, second brother!"
"Who?" Wang Laoer asked.
"That Duke."
Oh, he’s Helian Yunshang’s brother!
Wang Laoer shouted, "What are you doing?"
"How is my sister?" Helian Luo asked.
"It's okay! I have food, clothing, and sleep!" Wang Laoer shouted.
There was silence over there.
"Why didn't he speak?" Wang Laoer was puzzled, "Should he at least thank me?"
The jailer laughed dryly and said, "I guess it's because I didn't sleep well!"
"Why doesn't it sound good? Is it comfortable to sleep on those dirty wheat straws?" Wang Laoer shook his head, feeling that people's hearts were not ancient.
He heard that you slept with the county magistrate!
The jailer didn't dare to say anything.
When she saw Helian Yunshang, she was watching with great interest.
“Second brother!“
Helian Yunshang threw it away, stood up and said with a smile, "Aren't you going out recently?"
"Not coming out."
The jailer opened the door and Wang Laoer handed the food box in.
"Second brother, come in and sit down!" Helian Yunshang invited.
The inside has been renovated a long time ago, the floor is covered with mats, and the bed is brand new, no different from home.
The only problem is the smell coming from the surroundings, but there is an incense burner in the corner.
"No."
Even though the door was open, Wang Laoer was still sitting outside.
Helian Yunshang was eating steamed buns, while Wang Laoer stared outside blankly.
Second brother is so stupid!
Helian Yunshang sucked at Boyu and looked at Wang Laoer, "Why doesn't the second brother get married?"
She felt that although Wang Laoer was a little stupid, he couldn't stand the good conditions!
The confidant of the Lord of Northern Xinjiang, the king of scouts... Logically speaking, all the discerning families in Tao County should get up on the pole and marry their daughters to him!
"Women are boring!"
Wang Laoer scratched his head, rubbed his butt, and faced Helian Yunshang, "Do you know Lin Jun?"
"I know!"
Helian Yunshang felt that he had finally found a place to repay his second brother, "That man is very powerful."
"How awesome?"
"Well... when he was in Ningxing, someone invited him to a banquet. One time, maybe! Someone humiliated him, saying that he was just Lin Ya's nephew, and he was shameless because he was just a nephew. Second brother, what would happen if it were you?
"
Helian Yunshang thought to himself, the second brother will definitely scold that person!
Wang Laoer looked at his right hand, "Of course I have to do it!"
It turns out that the second brother likes to have a grudge and never spend the night! How good!
Helian Yunshang said with a smile, "But Lin Jun didn't change his expression. Everyone said he was spineless. After some discussion, he still smiled as before, as if he was talking about someone else. I was there at the time and thought this person was so stupid.
, is a weakling."
Seeing Wang Laoer's calm expression, she asked curiously: "Second brother, don't you think it's strange?"
"When telling a story, the front should be flat, but the back should be colorful! I'm waiting for you to tell the back."
The second brother is so smart... Helian Yunshang gave the second brother a new label, "A few days later, the man who humiliated Lin Jun that day went out hunting and happened to encounter a pack of wolves. He suddenly stumbled..."
"Dead?"
Helian Yunshang, who was eagerly waiting for his second brother to be shocked, was a little disappointed, "Yeah! He was bitten into pieces by the wolves. Later, when he checked, he found that a nail had been driven into the hoof of his war horse. The more he ran, the more uncomfortable he became..."
"Did Lin Jun do it?"
"I didn't find out who did it, but the next day, the person who mocked him the most fiercely
Those few people also suffered bad luck."
"He's still a ruthless person!" Wang Laoer said with some admiration, "It would be interesting to think about it."
Helian Yunshang shuddered, feeling that his second brother's murderous intent was too strong.
Wang Laoer asked, "If Lin Jun suddenly smiles at his enemy..."
Helian Yunshang said firmly, "There must be a back-up plan, and he is going to take advantage."
"oh!"
…
In the lobby of Jiedushi's Mansion.
"...It's very difficult to launch a surprise attack in Taizhou."
Jiang Cunzhong was analyzing, "It is summer now. From summer to winter, the road is full of people, farmers, hunters... businessmen. It is difficult for the army to be secretive. Our army's scouts on the front line in Neizhou are very tight, so I thought,
With Lin Jun's methods, he should naturally know that a sneak attack in northern Xinjiang is useless."
Everyone agrees with this view.
"It's not a sneak attack, so what does he want to do?" Song Zhen said slowly: "You said to purge Taizhou. He has carried out large-scale purges several times since he captured Taizhou. There is no need for it now."
"That is to say, the problem is not involved." Liu Qing said, "Then who said the raid on Ningxing? To be honest, if we hadn't been watching from the side in Northern Xinjiang, there is no way that Lin Ya and Lin Jun would have really wanted to do this."
Northern Xinjiang is on the side. Once Lin Jun sends troops to Ningxing, Yang Xuan will attack without hesitation and crush the southern part of Northern Liao.
"So, he is fully fed?" Zhang Du was thinking hard.
"Don't think about it." Yang Xuan said.
"Why?" Zhang Du was dissatisfied.
Yang Xuan said: "You are more suitable for rushing into the formation. It is better for you to stay less involved in such brain-burning things."
Zhang Du wanted to argue, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be like this.
Pei Jian said, "My lord, could it be that something happened to Lin Ya?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "I think so too."
The only person who can make Lin Jun bow his head is Lin Ya.
"Lin Ya has two sons, but compared with Lin Jun, the second son is not much different, so Lin Ya attaches great importance to his nephew. But after all, there is a difference between closeness and distance. His own son is put aside, and his nephew becomes the mainstay. Anyone else would be dissatisfied. I would be dissatisfied.
I feel like there might be an internal problem." Song Zhen said.
Yang Xuan felt that it was roughly the case, "In that case, two things."
Everyone stood up and stood with their hands tied.
From taking charge of Northern Xinjiang to now, Yang Xuan seems to be the same as before, but his subordinates are gradually becoming more respectful.
In the past, when I met an official, I would dare to greet him with a smile, but now I always greet him with a salute. Whoever dares to smile will turn around and wait to be dealt with by Liu Qing and Song Zhen!
When a person lives his whole life, no matter what his life purpose is, among a hundred people, one hundred people will go for fame and fortune.
Yang Xuan warned himself again and again not to be deceived by fame and fortune.
But seeing his subordinates being respectful at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel refreshed.
This is the power of the Lord of Northern Territory.
Yang Xuan said: "First, Neizhou scouts should pay attention to the movements of the Taizhou army and report them in time if they find anything."
"yes!"
"Secondly, the Northern Xinjiang Army is on the alert, waiting for my military orders."
"yes!"
The second one is that the generals promised loudly, as if they were roaring.
I'm so depressed that I want to kill people and make meritorious deeds!
Yang Xuan said, "As for the food, the Jiedushi Mansion will implement it as soon as possible and put it in the bag for safety."
"yes!"
Liu Qing agreed.
Yang Xuan immediately left the Jiedushi Mansion.
"Duke!"
Wang Laoer is back.
"Second brother! Where have you gone?" Yang Xuan asked.
"I went to jail." Wang Laoer said.
"How do you feel?" Yang Xuan had never seen Wang Laoer be so close to a woman before, and thought it was funny.
Wang Laoer scratched his head, "Helian Yunshang said that Lin Jun is good at forbearance, and after forbearance he becomes ruthless. I think that when he suddenly showed weakness and asked for peace, he was forbearing. The ruthlessness that followed...who was it for? To us,
He can’t do it. He can’t do it externally, but what about internally?”
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "The second child has learned to analyze problems, which is a good thing!"
Wang Laoer felt that he had done his best by telling the Duke of the matter. After doing his best, he put the matter behind him and stopped thinking about it.
grind.
This is his advantage, he is carefree and enviable.
"Do you want to get married?" Yang Xuan asked.
"In no mood!"
"Why?"
"Women are troublesome!"
"Isn't that man troublesome?"
Yang Xuan spoke angrily, but Wang Laoer nodded, "Men are also troublesome."
Fortunately, this kid doesn't have that hobby.
"But if the man is in trouble, I can beat him!"
Yang Xuan wanted to smoke him, but Wang Laoer ran away in a flash.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but laugh.
Then, squint your eyes and look ahead.
"The second brother is right. He is a man who is good at forbearing, but is determined to retaliate. He suddenly and inexplicably asked for peace... He has no way to start in Northern Xinjiang and is beyond his capabilities. Taizhou does not need large-scale purges, so what is he trying to do?"
Yang Xuan felt that if this mystery could not be solved, it would have a great impact on the future situation.
"What is he trying to do? What are he planning to do?!"
"Is he really the messenger of peace?"
"If he is a peacemaker, I am a compassionate person!"
…
Kunzhou.
After Shen Changhe left Taoxian County, he hurried back.
The sun was scorching hot, and the door of Zhoushe looked down. He quickly raised his head when he heard the sound of horse hooves, and when he saw it was Shen Changhe, he smiled and said, "Mr. Shen is back?"
Shen Changhe dismounted and moved his legs and feet, "Is your Majesty here?"
"Yes!" Menzi said with a smile.
Although Shen Changhe is just a staff member, in Taizhou, he is subordinate to one person, and he has to be subordinate to him in everything except riding a horse.
So the disciple wanted to show his kindness, so he said flatteringly: "I said that your Majesty didn't even have a good breakfast and was looking at the map the whole time!"
"good!"
Shen Changhe was obviously grateful, and the disciples were secretly happy. After he entered, they were all proud: "This Mr. Shen can speak well in front of the envoy. With just one sentence, he can make me a master."
When Shen Changhe arrived outside the check-in room, he saw that Lin Jun was looking at the map in a daze, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty."
Lin Jun raised his head when he heard the sound, "Old Shen! How about it?"
"It's OK, but we have to sell fifty thousand shi of grain to Northern Xinjiang."
Shen Changhe came in, sat down without anyone else, and made himself a cup of tea.
"Fifty thousand stones is a bit more, but we can make up for it later!" Lin Jun stretched his neck, "How did Yang Xuan react?"
"Domineering!" Shen Changhe took a sip of tea and relaxed.
"He is like an emperor in Northern Xinjiang. It is only right to be domineering. If he is still modest, he will be suspected of being disloyal."
"By the way, over in Chang'an, the official Shang Luocai has resigned."
"Oh!" Lin Jun asked, "Do you know the reason?"
"Impeached and removed from office."
"That is the emperor's dissatisfaction. I remember Luo Cai is a member of Emperor Wu. It is not easy for Li Mi to tolerate him until now."
"He is now in northern Xinjiang."
Lin Jun was pouring tea for himself, but his hand stopped after hearing this.
The water flow was interrupted and the tea in the tea cup gradually subsided.
"Oh!" the teapot continued to tilt, "Yang Xuan likes to pick up some rags. But the former official is not small, and this time, his reputation has improved a lot. Over in Chang'an, Li Bi is probably going to be angry. But , I guess he doesn’t care about this.”
"Yes!" Shen Changhe said with a smile, "It is said that Yang Xuan came to greet him personally."
"That's how it should be for great talents. If Luo Cai comes here, I can lead the whole city's soldiers and civilians to greet him and slap Chang'an and Taoxian hard." Lin Jun suddenly changed the topic, "Ningxing's side The messenger is on the way."
"Whose messenger?" Shen Changhe asked.
"His!" Lin Jun said calmly.
This person refers to Lin Ya, the Prime Minister of the Left.
"Your Majesty's envoy? What does this mean?" Shen Changhe squinted, with a cold look in his eyes.
"He and the emperor decided to put aside their disputes and join forces for the time being to deal with this formidable enemy in Northern Xinjiang. In this case, it was natural to make a gesture."
"Mr. Ning Xing has a lot of tricks, just give up some benefits." Shen Changhe had a bad premonition.
"Ms. sir
There are many powerful people over there. How can those misers be willing to give away their own interests? My husband thought about it and thought it would be better to abandon my side. "
"Is this bullying the weak and fearing the strong?" Shen Changhe sneered.
"Since we have to deal with Northern Xinjiang, this area has become the place for the Fourth War. The place for the Fourth War is thrown out and let the emperor's people take over. If it is defeated by then, it has nothing to do with my husband."
"What a great situation!" Shen Changhe suppressed his anger, "With Tanzhou and Kunzhou in hand, the line is now only short of Chenzhou. In this way, we have the right to say how to deal with Northern Xinjiang. In addition, control the border It's an important place, so you have to think carefully about what you say to the court, so as not to anger the border generals and make it impossible to end it."
Yang Xuan was like this. If Chao Zhong dared to beep at him, he would slap him with his backhand.
"Some people say that I want to be the second Yang Xuan!"
"This is contempt for the envoy." Shen Changhe said disdainfully.
"But I am really repeating his path, exactly!" Lin Jun said.
Shen Changhe: "..."
Lin Jun pointed to the map, "Ning Xing's intention is nothing more than to reorganize the situation in the south. Immediately, the army will station in the surrounding area, ready to take action against the northern Xinjiang. At this time, we will appear particularly dazzling. My dear, The idea is that we should tolerate it for the time being. After all, there will be a fight next, so our people might as well withdraw."
A dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist, this saying is applicable at any time.
“It’s so hard to get Taizhou!”
Shen Changhe took a deep breath, showed the calmness of an aide, and analyzed, "There is Chenzhou between Taizhou and Tanzhou, and it is easy to be defeated by each one. In this way, it is difficult to persist.
Otherwise, return to Tanzhou. If we can go further, we can discuss with Ningxing and exchange Chenzhou for our army to withdraw from Taizhou. In this way, with the two states in hand, we can still watch calmly. "
This plan cannot be said to be bad.
Come to think of it, Lin Ya will also seriously consider it.
As for exchanges, it was not a rare thing in Daliao. Just say that this time the emperor and Lin Ya decided to join forces, and there were many exchanges between the two.
It's like being a businessman.
That’s why some people say that there are actually a group of businessmen above the temple, but they only do relatively large business!
"Why change it?"
Lin Jun turned his eyes to the map.
"What the envoy means..." Shen Changhe pointed at Longhua Prefecture, "It's hard to get here now. If you get it, Ning Xing will be furious, and Yang Xuanhui will take action. Longhua Prefecture is sandwiched between Neizhou and Kunzhou. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to stand firm."
"The original plan was to capture Longhua Prefecture." Lin Jun said, "Why not change the place?"
"Your Majesty's intention..."
Lin Jun pointed at the map.
"I want Chenzhou!"
