The two people in charge of this grain team are not military generals, but they both serve in the Jinyang Governor's Office.
One is named Zhang Liang, who works in the Military Justice Department of the General Administration. Even though he tried hard to cover up, Liu Chaozong could still tell from his accent that he should be an authentic Henan native. He had been in the officialdom for a long time and had a good family background.
He quickly put on the hat of appearing to be loyal but actually being cunning.
Another person named Yang Xu worked in the office of the general manager of Jinyang. As soon as he heard what he said, Liu Chaozong knew that this person was from Guanxi. His speech and behavior showed everyone's style. Obviously he should be from Guanxi.
The son of a wealthy family.
The camp had been built a long time ago. The chief clerk led the county government officials and other grain transfer teams to the camp to set up camp. Liu Chaozong accompanied Yang Xu and Zhang Liang to the county government office.
According to the current custom in official circles, Liu Chaozong and Yang Xu soon talked about their family backgrounds. Nian Geng and Zhang Liang could only look on with envy.
Hearing that Yang Xu came from the Hongnong Yang family, Liu Chaozong was surprised and suddenly became more serious. At the same time, he was also muttering in his heart, even the relatives of the previous dynasty came to Jinyang? What is the reason for you to travel across mountains and rivers?
What about that?
What's even more strange is that Yang Xu is the secretary of the general manager's office. He has a low official position, but he has direct access to confidential positions.
Liu Chaozong couldn't help but look back at the sun, moon and stars flag placed on the top of Pingyao City, and he had some realization in his heart.
Of course, it is still open to question whether he can realize something in his new life...
Along the way, Yang Xu's gesture of talking to Zhang Liang from time to time also made Liu Chaozong understand that this Henanzi was not a dispensable little person, so he was a little polite to Zhang Liang.
The reception banquet Liu Chaozong gave the two of them in the evening was very simple. What was quite embarrassing was that it was Zhang Liang who cleverly and secretly ordered someone to slaughter a lamb, which made the dinner a little more interesting.
In fact, both Zhang Liang and Yang Xu were passers-by to Pingyao. They stayed for one night and had to set off south the next day.
Zhang Liang was ordered by Xue Wanche to serve in the army. He had paved the way for himself a while ago. When he went to the army, he would be under the jurisdiction of Yuen Long. This person's ability to survive was not comparable to that of Yang Xu, even if
Liu Chaozong, who had escaped all the way from Jingxiang, was also far behind.
No, Xu Shiji was sent away at the beginning of winter. Maybe it was Xu Shiji's spring-hearted look that gave him an idea, or maybe it was some other reason. Anyway, he soon got married in Jinyang, and when he came back from the south,
If you can marry the other person, you will be considered a person with a family in Jinyang.
This was obviously very beneficial to his career. If possible, he was also thinking about how to please his immediate superior Yuen Long when he met him, so that he could add some glory to his marriage.
He is thinking very far... As for the current Pingyao County Magistrate Liu Chaozong, he already knows a lot about the situation as he is already extremely well-informed.
To be honest, he admired Liu Chaozong very much. He couldn't help it, people with a rough background liked such stories and characters.
As for Yang Xu, as the secretary of the General Manager's Mansion, he should naturally follow the lord's side, rather than copying and writing in the General Manager's Mansion in Jinyang and be an authentic copywriter.
His impression of Pingyao County Magistrate Liu Chaozong was not bad, but that was all. His family backgrounds were very different, his appearance was not handsome enough, and his official position was not high enough. No matter how respectful he was, it would be difficult to inspire the children of the Hongnong Yang family to interact with each other.
A lot of enthusiasm.
Like the dilapidated Pingyao County, they are all to be left behind.
Of course, what Zhang Liang and Yang Xu didn't know was that with Liu Chaozong's current mentality, he actually had no desire to be friends with them.
The reason why he was so enthusiastic was that he stubbornly believed that the county government was too broken and needed to be repaired. If Li Po had made a diagnosis, he would have understood that this was the sequelae of a traumatized mind.
What made Chief Zhao almost grin from ear to ear was that the next day the grain team set off south, and Zhang Liang simply left 500 soldiers in the county, led by a battalion commander, with the euphemistic name of helping Pingyao County suppress bandits.
.
In fact, these are five hundred recruits from Yanmen, who are very experienced in building homes. Although the number is smaller, if the time is longer, it will be enough to carry out a rough repair of Pingyao County.
As for how to report to the governor's office, Zhang Liang had his own idea. Liu Chaozong always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and he would also report to the county governor's office later.
Later, when bidding farewell to Yang Xu, Liu Chaozong maintained his superficial courtesy, but said to Zhang Liang, "If there are any obstacles in the future, as long as Liu can do his best, just ask..."
Zhang Liang left happily. He has always believed that you don't have to worry about making too many friends. Who knows when he will be in trouble these days? If that time comes, this Pingyao County Magistrate Xu is better than Xu Duan
It's more reliable.
On the evening of the second day after leaving Pingyao, they hurriedly and slowly arrived at Jiexiu. Before the two of them could pay a visit to Governor Zhang, someone came up quickly from behind.
Soon, Zhang Yunzhi, the prefect of Xihe County, came out to greet him. When the sun was setting in the west, the governor of the palace, Shi and Jinyang Order Wen Yanbo, appeared at the foot of Jiexiu City with hundreds of escort soldiers.
A series of changes shocked both Zhang Liang and Yang Xu. Yang Xu's service was short, and he just felt something was strange.
But Zhang Liang was different. The first thing he thought of was that the front might be defeated, which immediately gave him the idea of turning around and running north.
When he saw the filial piety belt on Wen Yanbo's head, Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, someone from the Wen family died? Why did the funeral arrive in Jiexiu?
Then he cursed, "It's unlucky, it's unlucky. I'm going to serve in the army, but I met Bai here. It's going to be very bad."
Not to mention the messy thoughts of this person, Wen Yanbo's appearance here is indeed because someone in the Wen family died, and he was also a close relative of Wen Yanbo.
The person who died was Wen Yanbo’s third brother, General Wen Yan.
There are three brothers in Wen Yanbo's family. The eldest brother Wen Yanhong, named Daya, was serving as the Huangmen Minister in Chang'an at that time. He was involved in secrets and was trusted by Li Yuan.
Wen Yanbo is the second son, and his destiny has gone very wrong. Now he is doing as well as his elder brother under Li Po.
General Wen Yan, nicknamed Dayou, served as the Minister of the Zhongshu in Chang'an, and was granted the title of Duke of Qinghe County. He and his brother Wen Daya were also in the Zhongshu, mastering secrets and participating in political affairs.
The Wen family is one of the three heroes, and there are few people in Jin who can compare with them.
But now that his younger brother was dead, hearing the news of his death made Wen Yanbo feel like he had been hit hard.
Li Yuan was very kind. Well, let's just say he was very kind. Anyway, after Wen Yan died, his coffin stayed in Chang'an for a few days. Li Yuan greatly rewarded him and allowed him to return home soon after.
Regardless of the fact that the two sides were fighting, he first sent someone to escort the coffin across the Yellow River to Li Po's army. What could Li Po do? He had almost no choice, so he immediately ordered someone to escort the coffin northward, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to Wen Yanbo.
This obstructionist was not a small one, but he still acted in the name of benevolence and righteousness. This made Li Po very dissatisfied, so he could only suspend the siege and complete the handover with the Tang army before the formation.
What Li Po didn't know at this moment was that Li Yuan was also very anxious.
At the end of winter last year, the former internal historian Ling Dou Wei died. This man was the Sui Taifu, the youngest son of Deng Guogong Dou Chi, and the cousin of Queen Dou. Speaking of which, his Dou Chi lineage should be a branch of the Dou family in Henan.
But after moving to Guanxi, they, like other children with the Dou surname, called themselves the Fufeng Dou family.
This is true, the Henan Dou family was originally a branch of the Fufeng Dou family, but they had already established a separate ancestral hall.
If Wen Dayou died and Li Yuan could take advantage of it, then he had to treat Dou Wei seriously.
Because Dou Wei not only came from a very prominent family in the Guanxi clan, but he was also a relative of him, and he also had the merit of supporting him.
Therefore, when Dou Wei was buried, the atmosphere was extremely grand.
Then one disturbing thing happened one after another. Li Gang, the Minister of Rites and the crown prince, Zhan Shi, fell ill. Not surprising, the Ministry of Rites had been busy with Dou Wei's funeral arrangements, and the Tiance Mansion was also looking for him.
It was troublesome, so Li Gang fell ill.
Immediately afterwards, Li Gang wrote a letter to resign from the post of Prince Zhan Shi on the grounds that he was too frail and unable to drive.
This is also not surprising. Before and after Liu Wenjing's case, Prince Li Jiancheng was extremely dissatisfied with him for interceding for Liu Wenjing, and the Prince of Qin's palace was also hostile to him, making him look like a human being.
Li Gang, who was in a dilemma, finally made a decision.
Speaking of which, Li Gang is simply a prince killer. When he was young, he was in charge of the Qi King Yu Wenxian, and soon Yu Wenxian was killed. When Yang Jian came to the throne, he served as a horse washer in the East Palace and served as the prince Yang Yong. Yang Yong was eventually deposed.
Now that he has become Prince Zhan Shi again, according to the established trajectory, Li Jiancheng's time is running out.
Li Yuan was also very dissatisfied when he received Li Gang's resignation. Are you deliberately causing trouble for me? Are you really sick or are you suffering from a mental illness?
So Li Yuan also made a joke with Li Gang, removing him from the post of Minister of Rites and moving to the East Palace. Aren't you unwilling to assist the prince? This time I really let you get on the ship and you can't get off.
Li Gang had a hard time saying that he was ill in bed and did not leave the house, so he lived a secluded life in Chang'an.
Before Li Yuan could get really angry and punish this ungrateful guy, the prodigal son of his family caused trouble again. Li Yuanji and Qu Tutong led the troops to the northwest together.
Li Gui stayed in Liangzhou quite honestly, but the Liang division was backed by the Turks, and without the constraints of Guo Zihe, he finally became active. From Yulin to Yan'an County, everything was included in his sphere of influence, and then he launched an army
Attack Lingzhou.
Li Daozong, the general manager of Lingzhou, raised his troops to resist and defeated Liang Shidu. At the same time, because of the small number of troops, he could not expand the victory, so he asked Li Yuanji for help.
Li Yuanji was overjoyed and wanted to lead his troops north to attack Liang Shidu.
But Qu Tutong dissuaded him and said: "The military situation in the east is very urgent, and the center of Shu is also at a critical juncture. If I send troops easily, victory will not be enough to scare the heroes, and defeat will be difficult to deal with. How can I stop the troops and hold a stalemate to wait for the opportunity?"
