After returning to Beijing, he went to the camp of Zuoguanting in Xishan for the first time. Xu Xun just met his subordinates one by one for a whole afternoon. Therefore, seeing the sun gradually setting, he originally wanted to ask Bo Shenying of Jingyang after dinner.
When asked about the suppression of bandits, Shenying unexpectedly came in and said with a smile that the soldiers had shot a lot of pheasants and hares today, and the weather was just right, so it was better not to let the cooks do the work in the evening, and a few people gathered around the stove to barbecue and talk.
, but at ease, Xu Xun immediately agreed.
So, when it got dark, charcoal and grills were delivered to the yard. In addition to Xu Xun and Shenying, several accustomed officers and soldiers under Shenying were busy in the yard, and even Cao Qian also joined them.
Help. They were all people who had been marching and fighting, and they were familiar with all these tasks. Just when bursts of attractive aroma came from the grill, three people suddenly rushed in quickly. One of them just stood up and took a deep breath.
The nose shouted: "Even if there is delicious food, we are not invited!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Xun standing side by side with Shenying. The expression on his face couldn't help but be a little sarcastic. He quickly stepped forward in three steps and then saluted respectfully. Behind him, there were also people full of laughter.
The other two people with greedy faces also stepped forward uncomfortably, especially the one with brown skin at the end. When Xu Xun looked him up and down repeatedly, he coughed lightly and said, "Pingbei."
Uncle, don’t you have flowers on your humble face?”
"There are no flowers, but they are almost the same as flowers." Xu Xun smiled slightly and then said, "When I met the emperor in the morning, he told me that you did a good job in Datong and you are getting married this time. The Queen Mother
I wanted to give you the title of Commander of the Royal Guards, but you refused, and the Queen Mother even lost her temper with the Emperor. She must have been frightened by the hardships she suffered when she was rushed to Datong. Now that I see you like this
I would like to ask you for an explanation on behalf of the Emperor, what is your plan?"
It was Xu Yanche, Qi Jiliang and Zhang Zongshuo who came. Compared with the former two, Zhang Zongshuo, who had served for nearly two years in front of the Datong Army since he stormed into the East Factory in anger, looked completely different from the aristocratic children of Jingchao City.
In addition to her pale skin color turning into brown and black, the original frivolous temperament between her eyebrows and eyes also turned into a steady one, and even a bit more tough. Although in Datong, she never used her status as a legitimate national relative to make any mistakes.
Why, but he is also a master who is not afraid of anything. But when Xu Xun asked him with a half-smile, he felt a little cold on his back.
Not to mention that it has been so long since he left Jingchu City, but Xu Xun's prestige is still there. Why is he not afraid of others doing something wrong?
It happened that at this moment, Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche behind him encouraged him to speak quickly, and teased him to be brave, as if it had nothing to do with him and were watching the fun. So, he took a deep breath and simply turned his mind.
Hengdao: "I don't want to stay in Jingchao City! The ten or eight Jinyiwei commanders in Jingchao City are more than one more than me and one less than me. They don't really care about the guards. In Datong, you don't have to be surrounded by those bosses all day long.
I feel more at ease when people find faults and don’t have parents to tell me about them. Uncle Pingbei also asked me to report to Emperor Ming that I would rather go to Gansu to herd horses than stay in Jingchao City!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cao Qian emerging from the side, with a clearly unkind expression on his face. He immediately thought that he was going to marry a wife soon. If he really ran that far away, what if his wife stayed at home to serve her parents?
It’s not that she was born to be a resentful wife, it’s no wonder that my uncle was not happy. So, he immediately added: “As for my parents, I will tell them, and after we get married, I will let her go to work with me!”
Shenying was already smiling, and now he couldn't help laughing. Xu Xun was no exception. While he couldn't help laughing, he said to Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang who were snickering, "Don't you guys?"
You only care about watching other people's excitement. One of you has a wife, and the other is getting married soon. Be careful, I will send you to Gansu to herd horses with him!"...
Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang immediately gave up the idea of watching the hot lots, hurriedly greased the soles of their feet and ran away to plan barbecues with the officers. Even Shenying walked away while stroking his beard with a smile, leaving Zhang Zongshuo alone.
Facing Xu Xun and Cao Qian. Seeing that no one else was around, Xu Xun just hooked his fingers and motioned Zhang Zong to come forward, and then lowered his voice and said: "Even if you want to do something like raising horses in Gansu, I don't dare to do it."
Let you go, even the emperor is no exception. Things like Ma Zheng are not that fun. Do you know how many years Yang Sui'an has raised horses in Shaanxi? Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to hang one in Jinyiwei
As a sinecure, I will give you something to do."
Zhang Zong said that after hearing this, he immediately felt the hairs on his back explode, and then asked cautiously: "What do you want me to do, sir?"
"Jinan Ping bandit!" Seeing Zhang Zong's words, Xu Xun was stunned. He waved to Cao Qian to follow him. After he was some distance away from the people who were enthusiastically barbecuing, he said with a smile, "You won't come today.
, I originally wanted to go to Yumen. You were in Datong before, and you have been preparing for your wedding since you returned to Beijing. I am afraid that you will not have time to care about those bandits and bandits in Jinan. Starting from the beginning of the year, those in the green forest
The thieves have been fighting each other, and there have been constant fights and disputes, but few people know that they also had an alliance in Baiyangdian, and Bai Ying, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was elected as the leader of the alliance..."
Even the Shouning Hou Shizi, who was just a dandy at the time, was no stranger to the three words "White Lotus Sect". What's more, after all, he has been practicing in the border for two years, and his acumen is much better than before. And Xu Xun seems to be like that.
He talked about the process of that alliance meeting as if he had witnessed it, and gave a general explanation of the distribution of the Green Forest bandits in Jinan. Finally, he said: "Earlier, the minister of the DPRK and the Central Committee held a meeting in the DPRK because of the unrest in Jinan.
There was an argument at that time, which made the emperor very unhappy. But in fact, there would be such a fight in Jinan, and I had planted the seeds a long time ago.
But since the commotion has started, we cannot let it go. Although there are experienced generals in the Beijing Camp and the 12th Regiment Camp, the bandits are no better than others, so I prefer you to go."
If those guys who didn't know Xu Xun were not flattered when they heard such a good thing, they would definitely have agreed impassionedly. However, Zhang Zong said that he was once instigated by Xu Xun in a few words to go to the Lotong Factory. After a long time, he thought about it carefully.
He still didn’t understand that he was being used as a spear user back then. After all, although the result was good, the process was thrilling and extraordinary. So, when faced with the word "love", his face suddenly turned green, and he said calmly:
"Sir, you are joking about your humble position, how can you be so virtuous..."
"It will be troublesome for a man with both ability and political integrity to go. I just want to borrow your reputation." Xu Xun smiled slightly, and his voice became three points lower, "They say they are horse thieves in the green forest, but other than robbing passers-by.
, and other ideas are no different from those of the current Baichuan surnames. For some famous Qingliu, those famous ministers who have reached official positions, and some military generals who have some merits, they will naturally regard them as capable and lead the army in the face of such people.
, I will definitely try my best to be cautious. But if you go there and act like a dandy, do you think anyone will take you seriously? This is what is meant by the saying of building plank roads openly and building warehouses secretly."
Everyone has a sense of heroism. Even though Zhang Zong said that he had always respected and feared Xu Xun, he was immediately unhappy when he heard that he was going to play the role of a man who repairs the plank road, and that he would also be regarded as a playboy.
However, the next few words Xu Xun said made his heart skip a beat.
"Showing arrogance to an enemy is the same as showing weakness to an enemy. If people don't take you seriously and have tasted the sweetness over and over again, they will think you are easy to bully. You will have to step on your nose and face to bully your superiors, and you may even
I captured you in a battle, then negotiated with the imperial court, and even ordered other heroes in the world to make your wishful thinking. And at this moment, if you can turn the tide in a battle, not only will your previous dandy appearance not become a laughing stock,
And it will become a clever trick that is passed down by people. In this case, are you afraid that you will not be able to earn the reputation of a hero?”….
Although he knew that Xu Xun said it was easier said than done, Zhang Zong said that he really couldn't resist the big cake drawn on the paper. After thinking about it, he suddenly glanced at Cao Qian, and then said humbly
: "What do you think, Brother Cao?"
Cao Qian had gone to see Zhang Zong on behalf of his sister. After he was satisfied, he went to discuss the marriage with his father Cao Xiong. He was familiar with his future sister-in-law. However, Zhang Zong said that he was
He looked in front of Xu Xun and called out Brother Cao, but he still couldn't help but glare at him, and then said thoughtfully: "Sir, if Shouning Hou Shizi only takes over, I'm afraid it won't be enough to defeat the enemy."
This clearly means that Zhang Zong said that he is not strong enough. However, although he was holding a ball of fire in his heart, when his uncle came to see him, he had the intention to start a fight. Although he tried his best, he could not
In the end, I was taught a miserable lesson. Later I learned that Cao Qian was Xu Xun's confidant and the eldest son of Cao Xiong, the chief military officer guarding Guyuan. Not only did he have a military position, he was also Yang Yiqing's student and a serious scholar.
, he gave up the idea of regaining his place, not to mention that he was still his future uncle. So, he endured it again and again, and finally couldn't help but muttered softly: "Of course I don't have that ability on my own.
You must have some decent helpers no matter what."
"If you want help, I'll give you Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang." Xu Xun's eyes widened when he saw Zhang Zong said, and he smiled and said, "You are the prince of Shouning Hou, and one of them is the second son of Duke Dingguo.
One is the son of Renhe, the eldest princess. The three of you together are of extraordinary weight. In this way, others will think that you are here to gain military exploits, and they will look down upon you even more. As for those around me who followed me in the northern expedition
I will not send any of my old people to you.”
Isn't this a scam?
Seeing the resistance in Zhang Zongshuo's wide eyes, Xu Xun slowly said: "Those thieves, mountain bandits and thieves have close contacts with the three religions and nine streams near Gyeonggi. Otherwise, we would not be able to let them go."
Take it lightly. Of course, I will not let you take risks like this. I will transfer the Datong guerrilla general Jiang Bin who followed me back to Beijing this time to you. In addition, a guerrilla army from Shaanxi who has fought several battles with me this time will be transferred to you.
Guardsmen, I will bring back a group of people and join them under your command. They are new faces, so they don’t need to be recognized. Then there are the young troops trained by the army’s vanguard in the past two years..."
Although Xu Xun gave him many generals and experienced soldiers, there were also young soldiers who had no experience in battle. Therefore, Zhang Zong said that he was naturally still worried. Until Xu Xun gently tapped Cao
Qian, when he said with a smile that he would lend the person to him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After weighing it secretly, he solemnly saluted and said: "In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be humble and respectful!"
"Hey, if you don't come here, even the minced meat will be gone!"
Hearing Shenying's throat-shattering shouting, Xu Xun stopped talking, made a gesture and walked over there with Zhang Zongshuo and Cao Qian.
Zhang Zong said that he saw Xu Yanche and Qi Jiliang eating with their mouths full of oil and winking at him with gloating. He couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He stepped forward and grabbed two skewers of meat from the two of them and ate it in a hurry.
Then he looked at them with evil intentions and laughed.
"Hey, why don't you imitate our grown-up's behavior? Besides, you can't imitate that smiling face!"
"I'm happy, do you care about me?" Zhang Zong said he didn't take Qi Jiliang's sarcasm seriously at all. After eating and chewing to fill his stomach, he picked his teeth with a bamboo skewer while looking at the two of them and said,
"Anyway, I'm not the only one this time, you two are also involved!"
Although these words were vague, Qi Jiliang and Xu Yanche both heard them clearly, and their hearts skipped a beat. The latter even hurriedly brought a plate of peeled fruits to Zhang Zongshuo with an attentive look on his face, and tried with a smile: "My lord,
What on earth did I tell you about? We have developed a friendship together over time. If you want to get wind of something, why don't you reveal it to the two of us?"...
"Have you remembered our friendship now?" Zhang Zong said. He was about to make fun of the two of them again, but when he saw a soldier hurried in over there, he was talking to Jingyang Bo Shenying.
Xu Xun whispered a few words next to him. The next moment, Xu Xun stood up and went out quietly. He thought about the consequences of revealing the news in advance, and finally shook his head tightly and said, "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it...
…Anyway, you’ll know when you turn around!”
Xu Xun, who was barely half full, quickly came outside and saw the plump Gu Dayong. He nodded as if he had seen him before, and waved his hand to push back the soldiers. As expected, Gu Dayong didn't show off either.
He said bluntly: "Lao Qiu received the order today and was transferred to Nanjing garrison eunuch."
The position of garrison eunuch in Nanjing may be a retirement position that most eunuchs in the palace dream of, but for ambitious people, it is a tasteless post. At least Qiu Ju would never be willing to do so. Therefore, Xu Xun chose it unsurprisingly.
He raised his eyebrows and then asked with great interest: "What's Qiu Ju's reaction?"
"The emperor has said that he refuses to see him. He can't even enter the palace gate, so what else can he do? However, when Lao Liu went there today, he and Lao Ma, Lao Wei and Lao Naluo were having secret discussions, but
I was caught off guard."
ps: I replied to the high-rise building in the book review area... So many people are discussing the issue of concubinage, sweat. Well, if you want to take concubines, wouldn't it be awkward to have more than two million words about women? My previous books
It’s not that I haven’t written about multiple women. It’s not about taboos, but about the character of the protagonist. Besides, isn’t it strange that he is first affectionate and then more naive? [To be continued “This text is provided by”. If you like this work
