    "The generals are waiting to welcome the angels. The post is ready, but we ask the two angels to move a little bit to relieve themselves from the travel dust. But if you have orders, we will all obey them!" Outside the Hejian Mansion, on the official road beside the Jingguan Pavilion  On the carriage, a group of generals wearing helmets and red cloaks and a large number of civil servants who were currently in Hejian Mansion stood in separate groups. All the formalities were passed and they respectfully welcomed the two envoys who got off the car.  On this occasion, both Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong put on official uniforms, and their narrow and long gauze wings trembled slightly every time they moved.  These two civil servants, who were sent on a mission to the festival, looked graceful and graceful. They nodded slightly and greeted everyone.  During the Song Dynasty, the monarchy had not yet reached its peak as it did in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  There were not so many disgusting etiquette to greet the envoys who came out to show their respect for the emperor and me.  If you meet me politely, no one will look at you.  It was extremely grand to welcome the two envoys today.  After all, no one in Hejian Prefecture is civilized or martial, except for the local civil servants who know Hejian Prefecture.  Others were controlled by the three-pronged propaganda and control system, such as the few military ministers who withdrew from the beaten Huanqing Army, and the generals directly under Tong Guan, such as Wang Zhen and others, who followed Xiao Cai Xianggong as far away as possible.  Going to Hejian Mansion was like traveling around the Forbidden Army generals.  The text is like the promotion of Changping on the roads in Hebei, the transfer of envoys, and the marching Sima among the staff.  What everyone is worried about is that there has been no conclusion in the Yanyun War. Who knows what will happen in the future. The defeated military officials are worried about being held responsible for the defeat.  When the civil servants participated in this war, in addition to inevitably getting rich, they also thought about the benefits of grinding and super-turning. The war was the business of the military ministers, and it was irrelevant to everyone how many people died. Didn't Yanjing still win it now?  There is no reason why everyone's hard work has been in vain. The court has to give an explanation, right?  Moreover, these civil servants could gather together and set up the envoys under the Xuanfu system. It is impossible to say that they are all related to Wang Futongguan. The battle between the DPRK and China is now at a stalemate. These two envoys came to deal with matters related to the end of the Yanyun War. The battle between the DPRK and China  The focus is on the Yanyun War. Is this battle about to have an outcome?  This result is also something that everyone is extremely concerned about. It may determine everyone¡¯s prosperity and poverty in the next ten years!  When the two envoys came down, countless pairs of eager eyes greeted them.  Wu Chen asked himself that he did not have the status to talk to the angel, so he could only laugh beside him.  All the civil servants managed to get some connections with the people coming from Bianliang through endless chatter. They all came together and exchanged greetings, trying their best to appear that they had some unusual relationship with the two envoys.  Among the two envoys, Geng Nanzhong was a tall man on the cliff. He would never put aside his status to say anything to the military ministers. He only exchanged a few words with the civil servants who came up, and they came and went with nothing more than those few words:  "The officials are so eager to Yan Yun, how can a certain minister be secretly safe? Jie Feng doesn't dare to accept it anymore. When the ceremony comes, that's all. I find a place to have a rest near the Jie Guan Pavilion and obey the order.  Now that everyone is ready, we're going to set off. I appreciate your kindness. Yan Yun will come back and get close to you all again" Geng Nanzhong's statement that he would not enter Hejian Mansion immediately aroused a commotion.  "Brother Xi Dao has been working hard. No matter how urgent the task is, there is no shortage of time." "Brother Xi Dao, the lower officials and others also participated in the battle of Che Yanyun. Brother Xi Dao and Brother Shutong went to take care of the aftermath.  A certain person has gained something, and he is about to offer it to him. Brother Xi Dao, do you think that a certain person is ignorant?  A hundred thousand troops are exposed outside, and hundreds of thousands of civilians are mobilized for conquest. Do Brother Xidao and Brother Shutong know how much it costs in one month? They are about to be unable to provide relief. I should inform me of any regulations the court has to deal with the aftermath.  Are we the ones doing the actual work! When trouble breaks out, who will it be?" Those who feel friendly are trying their best to build relationships, and those who feel they are wise and calculating are trying their best to speak out in front of the two of them and deal with the aftermath of Yan Yun's affairs.  It's something that is both face-saving and affordable. It's cheap to be a part of it.  But since they felt that their foundation was strong enough, they didn't care much about Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong and simply complained. Everyone had spent enough time in Hejian Mansion.  Knowing that the local civil servants in Hejian Prefecture were not part of the Xuanfu system, he gave a few words of false advice and stood aside.  The people in the Propaganda, Control and Envoys Office made a lot of money from this war back then, but now it looks like it has become a muddy pond, and they will not get involved in it. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the high cliffs Geng Nanzhong was not in vain.  The servants who followed them had already gone to the simple post house next to the reception pavilion, preparing to settle down the servants belonging to the two adults.  There was a commotion on this side, but Yu Wenxuzhong on the other side avoided the civil servants' entertainment.  ??Zhizhi approached Wang Zhen, who had been standing aside and not participating in the fun. It was the first time that he and Wang Zhen met, and when he saw Wang Zhen, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.He gave a shout of approval.  What a great Shaanxi man!  Wang Zhen is tall, handsome, and looks stoic and capable.  When he saw Yu Wenxuzhong approaching, he was neither humble nor arrogant when he saluted.  But the generals behind him had already panicked and were hurriedly bowing down and saluting.  Yu Wenxuzhong ignored the generals who bowed down and even paid half a courtesy to the king.  Xiao Yan was also very polite to Wang Zhen, but Yu Wenxuzhong was different from Xiao Yan, the fake civil servant.  A serious scholar-bureaucrat and important minister who will visit two governments within a year!  This is an amazing turn of events!  Wang Zhen saw Yu Wenxuzhong's appearance and said to himself, Tong Xuanshuai and the others finally picked out a big turban who can do things!  If it's still the same thing as in the Xuanfu Zhizhi Embassy, ??it's better to go back as soon as possible.  Where is the opponent of Lao Zhong, the old fox, and Xiao Yan, the humble and lone wolf!  Yu Wenxu smiled, helped Wang Zhen up, and asked in a low voice: "The Zhengchen is Xuan Shuai's side, and his reputation for sincerity is well-deserved! With the help of Zhengchen to deal with Yan Yun's affairs, great things will be done!" Wang Zhen still responded respectfully, neither humble nor overbearing:  "A general with no merits should not be praised by your Majesty. Commander Xuan has already sent a letter in front of me. I have decided to proceed with the two adults' heads. This is not the place to talk. From now on, I will stick close to the two adults and coordinate."  After passing the inspection, you can order us to do whatever you want. "Yu Wenxuzhong saw that Wang Zhen was cautious, and his evaluation of him increased by three points.  Tong Guan had such generals around him who could not be reused. Instead, Xiao Yan, a surrendered minister who returned to the south, became famous. I really don't know what happened!  If you know someone so unclearly, it seems that he will be exposed in the future. As long as you can successfully handle the aftermath of the Yanyun War, you may not have the opportunity to replace him in the future!  He was high-spirited in his heart, but even more polite on his face.  Yu Wenxuzhong was one of the few scholar-bureaucrats who valued the power of generals. On that day, the ministers discussed that Yan Yun was invincible, and there was an argument that the power of generals was too restricted by civil servants, so that they could no longer be used by powerful generals like those of Qiu Qing.  And people as smart as him also vaguely feel that the situation is about to change, and these warriors will become more and more important.  I couldn't talk to Wang Zhen in detail at the moment, so I just exchanged greetings with the generals who didn't dare to raise their heads behind me. However, after a few exchanges of words, I found that none of them were even half as good as Wang Zhen. They were either vulgar or just flattering.  Or they are simply confused, like a general who came from the Forbidden Army, who speaks vulgarly and can only flatter someone.  After a few words of observation, I no longer had any interest in socializing with them.  At this time, the servants from the Pavilion and Post Office who were preparing the dishes had already rushed to report. Geng Nanzhong was the envoy. When he heard the news, he raised his hands and saluted everyone who was still chattering, and said loudly: "Yan  In this dangerous place, hundreds of thousands of tigers are roaming here. The relationship between the two students is very important, so they can only work together. With all the things happening here, the officials and the court must have complete regulations. You will be waiting for your wishes, and the breeze and the bright moon will be there!  You know that you love me, so you will not miss your trip due to personal affairs. We will meet in Bianliang one day, and I will apologize to you one by one!  , simply hearty.  Geng Nanzhong was always a very upright person, but now he really has the bearing of an official in the imperial court!  Wang Zhen watched from the sidelines. This time, two people were sent as envoys.  Geng Nanzhong is the facade that shows the majesty of the imperial court, while Yu Wenxuzhong is smart and capable at first glance, and is full of wits and plans.  Maybe he can really sort out Yan Yun's dangerous mess!  Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated.  Did Xiao Yan, a meritorious official, end up like this just because of the factional strife in the court?  If there is a war in the future, who else will dare to help?  But there is nothing you can do about it. You are just a pawn in the army of Wang Fu Tongguan's faction.  When did the Song Dynasty become like this? No matter what happened, it was only about party disputes but did not care about the country at all?  Thinking of this, Wang Zhen could only sigh secretly. Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong, who were in high spirits, were speechless behind them.  I am the gorgeous dividing line. "Zhengchen, how many men and horses can Hejian Prefecture use?" There is no post next to the Jieguan Pavilion. It has always been customized by Da Songzhou County.  Hejian Mansion is a big place, so it is naturally indispensable.  However, by the end of the Song Dynasty, Yi Zheng was inevitably ruined.  The quota for the post here was originally dozens of people, but now there is only one post Cheng and five or six post men.  The buildings are in ruins, and the normal supply every year is just a figure on the books.  Anyway, in the Song Dynasty, everything else was prosperous. Business was extremely prosperous. If you were visiting officials, you could find a place dozens of times better when you entered Hejian Mansion, and no one would come here to disturb you.  The Yi Cheng and Yi Ding here simply opened gardens to grow vegetables for sale, and lived like farmers.  Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong stayed here, and everything was taken care of by themselves. Fortunately, Tong Guan sent a lot of things to them before leaving, and they were all organized.Create a look.  After the maid served the two adults to wash and have dinner, she found a clean room, served fragrant tea, and went to the king to discuss it secretly.  Hearing Yu Wenxu's question, Wang Zhen pondered for a moment and replied respectfully: "After receiving the letter from Commander-in-Chief Xuan, my subordinates were already planning their troops. My subordinates are capable of defeating the Czech army. Originally, they were divided equally between horsemen and horsemen. After joining the team,  The number of 3,700 is surprising, but the 2,000 cavalry troops have been deployed to control the front of Yan's army, and most of the remaining infantry guards along the way have returned to Bianliang, and only 2,300 Shengjie troops can be used by their subordinates  Xuanshuai had previously transferred 10,000 troops to surround the Qing Dynasty to create a back-up for the envoy. However, half of the 10,000 troops were transferred up again and did not come back. The remaining 5,000 troops were returned to Hejian Mansion.  Four thousand were stabbed, and at most half of them could be used As for the defeated soldiers and the 20,000 forbidden troops, we couldn't count on them I divided the remaining troops of the Qing army with the generals of the victorious army under my command.  To gather 3,000 people to go north with the two adults is already a great effort." "In fact, who knows how useful these 3,000 people will be as they go north.  The Huanqing Army was already discouraged, and they didn't know what their future would be like. They couldn't be of any use.  Although there are still hundreds of victorious troops, everyone is just reluctant to deal with Xiao Yan's subordinates who have made outstanding achievements.  If it weren't for Wang Zhen's prestige, these three thousand people wouldn't be able to get together!  Hearing that there were three thousand troops, Geng Nanzhong smiled faintly: "That's enough. After all, those in Yanyun are still the Song Dynasty's troops. Three thousand people are enough to intimidate. Even if there are no soldiers or soldiers, don't we still have to go to Yanyun?  " Wang Zhen could only nod in agreement. He took courage and looked up at Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong: "I dare you to ask these two adults what they will do when they arrive in Yanjing. " Geng Nanzhong was slightly calm.  With shame, he was the most traditional scholar-bureaucrat of the Song Dynasty.  Military ministers, like soldiers, just obey orders.  Why do you dare to ask them about the planning of these two envoys who were ordered by the court?  "But Wang Zhen is Tong Guan's favorite general after all, so we have to rely on him for the specific actions of this trip north.  Geng Nanzhong didn't scold him, just snorted lightly and turned his head.  Yu Wenxuzhong didn't care, he smiled and said to the king: "Even if the official doesn't ask, a certain person also wants to tell the official This time, Yanyun's new place is a place where hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves gather. The most taboo  It's nothing more than acting hesitantly so that they can be connected. Once chaos breaks out, someone will be a criminal of the country!  Xiao Yan took them down! They had no time to react! Xiao Yan's Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Victorious Army will naturally return to their original owners, while the Bailu soldiers will be sent back to the Western Army.  The Zhengchen was asked to suppress it with all his strength, and moved to Zhuozhou and resettled in Yizhou With the Zhengchen defeating the entire Jie army, the remaining troops of the surrounding Qing army were only a few thousand Shenwu Changsheng army, which was enough for Xiao Yan to go!  , The Western Army is naturally frightened, and the promise that most of the Western Army can return to guard the various roads in Shaanxi will make them feel at ease!" Yu Wenxu didn't exaggerate in his tone, he just said it calmly, the lights flickered,  The light shone on his face, showing an expression of wisdom.  " The Western Army can only march in order. After returning to the halfway point, the rest can be taken care of as you wish Zhengchen, would you like to lead the rest of the Western Army to suppress Yanyun? This position of Pingfan of the Great Song Dynasty,  In the future, you will be responsible for defending against the enemy. How can we know that after a few decades, we will not be able to establish a military town in Hebei for the Song Dynasty?  The century-old foundation of the Song Dynasty is in your hands and mine!" Wang Xun secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Although Yu Wenxuzhong was a scribe, he acted decisively without any sloppiness.  By subduing Xiao Yan and weakening the Western Army, with sequential arrangements and court status, success may not be small.  He was still secretly trying to win over himself in his words, and seemed to intend to separate him into a group of their armed forces.  After saying these words to Wu Chen, Yu Wenxuzhong felt at ease with him, and the temptation was really quite big!  At this moment, even Geng Nanzhong looked at Wang Zhen, waiting for his answer.  The strategy here was repeatedly planned by this group of people on Bianliang Road.  It would be foolish to just deal with Xiao Yan without benefiting their faction.  If a Hebei army belonging to their faction can really be established, they will probably be the only three in the imperial court.  After all, the husband is already old, and Wang Fu Tongguan has a bad reputation in the heart of the prince. As long as they can stand firm and they can afford to wait, in the future the court will be dominated by their Qingliu family!  Most of the planning during this period was Yu Wenxuzhong¡¯s idea, and his reputation as a think tank is well-deserved!  I am the gorgeous dividing line Inside the shabby room, it was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the soft popping of candles.  Wang Xun lowered his head and hid his expression in the shadow of the light. It took a long time before he heard him ask in a low voice: "Now that Xiao Yan has taken it, what should I do with it?"The tone of the poem is solemn: "Although Xiao Yan had great achievements in restoring Yan, he returned to the south as a surrender minister, chased the general Xuan and ran south, domineering in the land of Yanyun, and hijacked the Western Army. He had unpredictable intentions. This was not done by a human minister.  ! Such a great achievement can only redeem his life and find a military state to resettle and manage. He is not a person who is easy to kill. He will be able to live in peace for the rest of his life and leave." Wang said with bitterness in his mouth.  He believed that Yu Wenxuzhong, Geng Nanzhong and the others had no intention of killing Xiao Yan.  But Xiao Yan¡¯s survival is evidence of Tong Guan¡¯s tragic defeat.  It was said that he was looking for a military state to arrange and manage, how could Tong Guan let him live in peace of mind?  During the Song Dynasty, the entire army was at a standstill. When the Jurchens roared south, it was Xiao Yan who was fighting to the death It was Xiao Yan who was fighting to the death!  It is a sin for someone who is not a scholar-official to lead a large army. Once the civil servants and officials become vigilant, this is what will happen!  There was Qiu Qing before, but now there is Xiao Yan!  But there was no way he could speak for Xiao Yan on this matter.  He also has a family behind him. The good and the bad are all counting on him, and they must not be involved in Xiao Yan's crimes.  But there is always a feeling tumbling in my chest. If Xiao Yan is treated like this today, when the Jurchens go south again in the future, who is willing to fight to the death?  Who is willing to fight to the death!  He didn¡¯t dare to accept what this Lao Shizi was doing to lead the Hebei Army. He finished the mission as soon as possible and left without conscience!  Wang Zhen let out a long sigh in his heart, and raised his head to meet the eyes of Geng Nazhong and Yu Wenxuzhong: " In the end, the general will be loved and respected by Commander Xuan, and everything will be done according to Commander Xuan's orders. This time going north,  Commander Xuan wants me to obey the orders of the two adults, and I will act with caution. As for the Hebei Army, how dare you expect this? " Geng Nanzhong snorted again and said nothing.  To win over these military ministers by breaking a knot is already a disgrace to them as scholar-bureaucrats, but this king is so ignorant of praise!  If he wants to stick to Tong Guan's side, he will be treated as a traitor in the future, whatever he wants.  As long as you can follow orders this time.  Geng Nanzhong no longer had the slightest intention to talk to Wang Zhen, and his face turned away completely, wishing that this conversation would end as soon as possible. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Yu Wenxuzhong, who spoke and smiled calmly, and did not take it seriously.  They and Tong Guan have a common interest. Although they can't win over Wang Zhen, there are not many people who want to get ahead in this world.  Especially these military officials, who care about profits but forget their loyalty, the Western Army will be divided in their hands. Can Tong Guan find Liu Yanqing, but Yu Wenshutong can't find one?  If he could solve this matter cleanly and tidily, and then support and separate a useful general, the Qingliu line, his reputation would be greater than that of Geng Nazhong, whom the prince respected, Wu Min, the highest-ranking deputy envoy to the privy council, and  Li Gang is in exile but has the highest reputation!  Yu Wenxuzhong never thought that what he did was a villain's trick. He was a rare person among civil servants who was forthright and outspoken, and didn't care much about gains and losses.  He just firmly believes that if military generals have great power and cannot be restricted, disasters in feudal towns are inevitable.  But now the Song Dynasty cannot afford a vassal town!  Whether it is Husband Xiang or Tong Guan Wang Fu, they are not successful. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly see the decline of the Song Dynasty. Those with ambitions should work hard to save it, even if they are cooperating with Tong Guan Wang Fu this time, even if this time they are cooperating with Tong Guan Wang Fu.  Xiao Yan is really a little wronged!  He smiled gently at Wang Zhen: "Zhengchen, even if I don't give you advice, Zhengchen, you may not be hopeless in the future when the Hebei army is revived. Now you have to wither the important generals, Zhengchen, your days of contributing to the Song Dynasty are still to come  " Wang Chen looked blank, but asked about another topic: "I will be brave enough to ask one last thing How many manuscript rewards did the two adults bring with them when they went north to clean up the aftermath?  When asked about the awkwardness, Yu Wenxuzhong and Geng Nanzhong looked at each other, and Geng Nanzhong almost slammed the table.  The two of them came this time with nothing.  The military expenditure of more than 60 million yuan for conquering Yan had been spent long ago, and in the past two months, the third division had already begun to pay for it.  On this trip to Beijing, the Third Division found countless reasons, but they just couldn't pay for the manuscript and reward it.  The turn of winter and spring, according to the fiscal year of the Song Dynasty, was originally a time of poverty and deprivation.  Even if the Song Dynasty sweeps the bottom of the treasury, it may not be impossible to make up a sum of money for emergencies.  But the finance department of the DPRK and China has always been the territory of the husband.  Now the two factions are fighting fiercely and there are many constraints.  If Zheng Zheng is cleared, it will take who knows how long it will take for Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxuzhong to leave the capital!  But now Yan Yun¡¯s matter cannot be delayed!  Tong Guan actually wanted to pay for it with his own money, but how could he pay the bills?  What is your motive, Tong Guan, for using private money to build an army?  Now that the two factions are at odds with each other, how can they still add such a charge?  But everyone knows that this manuscript reward is the most important to appease the Western Army.  Yan Yun decided that although a large amount of rice, grain, wine, meat, and silk money were shipped up, they were all |"""Thirteen"""" mighty|for use by the squad, and many of them still sent troops to Gaoliang and Hebei.  The debts due to soldiers and rewards.  When it comes to rewards, kindness comes from above, and it is always right!  After the battle is finally concluded, who dares to raise the reward?Those who deserve punishment will be allocated and distributed.  During this period of the Song Dynasty, military officers and soldiers were in battle and had no money to do anything.  The most extreme case is that the archer shoots a few rounds of arrows and then asks the superior for money. If the money is not given, he will not continue to shoot.  Everyone has been through life and death, and their status is so much lower than that of civil servants, so why don't they only rely on these hard-earned money?  Yan Yun finally recovered. The Western Army had been garrisoned for so long, and after dealing with Xiao Yan, they had to calm their morale and make them need money.  But now I just can¡¯t dial it out!  This is also one of the important reasons why Yu Wenxuzhong planned to do things as quickly as possible as soon as he arrived in Yanjing.  Once he had shocked the Western Army and captured Xiao Yan, he might have time to turn around. Tong Guan Wang Fu knew that this was important, so he would always find a way to chase some of them up.  If this drags on and the stalemate ends in Yanjing, and they are left empty-handed, then they will be in trouble!  But how can you say these words to Wang Chen?  At this time, even Yu Wenxuzhong lost the smile on his face, put on a serious face, and put on the most common face of a civil servant in front of military commanders: "Zhengchen, the matter of rewards, a certain person these things  You don¡¯t need to ask any more questions. I¡¯m afraid of delaying the process of entering Hejian. I¡¯ll give you one day to order three thousand troops and miss the mission. You know what¡¯s important!¡± Wang Cun didn¡¯t say a word.  He slowly stood up, bowed deeply to the two of them, and strode out of the secret room.  Arriving at the steps, Wang Zhen could not help but tremble slightly at the cold spring weather.  The night was already very dark, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the stars in the sky were all hidden.  Wang Zhen glanced towards the north, where the dark clouds seemed thicker.  "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, when you know that you have fought desperately for this result, will you return south, will you go to Gubeikou to resist the Jurchens, and will you rush towards Xiao Qian with all your life?  Army? If you can escape, just escape!" bk
