The supervisor took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter with you two generals coming to our house together?"
"The supervisor knows that Xing Duxian summoned the two of us to Juyong Pass for the sake of the military power in our hands. Once the two of us enter Juyong Pass, the 50,000 troops we brought will definitely fall into Xing Duxian's hands." Jiang Ying Zhao looked at the supervisor sitting on the main seat.
The supervisor raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Yingzhao, and said in a calm tone: "Xing Duxian is the army commander appointed by the imperial court. Naturally, you two and the 50,000 troops in Liaodong will be under the command of Xing Duxian."
There was a fruit plate on the table. He reached over and picked up a piece of preserved fruit, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
"The general will be sure to use this 50,000-strong army to wipe out the Liu bandits in Datong." Jiang Yingzhao did not want to give up the command of the 50,000-strong army, and the only person who could seize the military power from Xing Youwei was the supervisor appointed by the imperial court.
The supervisor swallowed the preserved fruit in his mouth and said: "As long as Liu Thief can be eliminated, our family doesn't care who holds the military power."
Jiang Yingzhao was happy when he heard this.
The supervisor continued: "But there is no need for our family to offend a governor, what do you think?"
The joy faded from Jiang Yingzhao's face.
"Go back. Go to Juyongguan to see Xing Duxian as soon as possible, and deal with the Liu thieves as soon as possible, so that our family can return to Beijing as soon as possible. Our family has had enough time to stay in this shabby place. How can it be as comfortable as staying in Jiangnan." The army issued an order to expel guests.
Seeing this, Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui had no choice but to stand up from their seats and prepare to leave.
When the two people were about to reach the door, Jiang Yingzhao suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the supervisor in his seat and said: "The Liu thieves in Datong have captured two palaces, the Palace of Dai in Datong and the Palace of Jin in Taiyuan City, and Liu Thief started his business with a business name. In the early years, Liu Thief's firm was one of the largest in the north. The Fan family, the most famous Shanxi merchant in Zhangjiakou, was far inferior to Liu Thief's firm. Now Liu Thief has conquered so many prefectures and counties. , and even robbed a lot of wealth. If Liu Thief can be eliminated first, the wealth will be as much as several million, if not tens of millions."
"Wait!" The supervisor shouted to the two of them.
Jiang responded to the imperial edict and captured Mangui.
The supervisor looked at the two of them and asked, "Are you sure you can kill Thief Liu?"
"The Liu thieves are not as fierce as the slave thieves in Liaodong. We are not even afraid of the slave thieves, so how can we be afraid of a Liu thieves." Jiang Yingzhao said carelessly.
The supervisor pondered for a moment and said: "We can guess your purpose of coming, but why should we help you?"
"The first army to capture Datong will definitely get the wealth captured by the Liu thief. The general will be sure to capture Datong and capture the Liu thief before Xing Duxian and other battalions." Jiang Yingzhao promised.
The superior supervisor sitting in the main seat said: "Even if Xing Duxian captured Datong without you, would he dare to leave our family?"
"Of course Xing Duxian will not monopolize it all by himself, but how much of Thief Liu's wealth can only be decided by Xing Duxian. The amount of the supervisory army's share depends on Xing Duxian's face," Jiang Yingzhao said. Said lightly.
"Bold." The supervisor roared in a sharp voice and slapped his palm on the table.
The guards outside heard the commotion and rushed in, staring at Jiang Yingzhao and Man Gui warily.
They were the only two people in the room who did not belong to this courtyard.
"Our family is fine, please step back." The supervisor waved a few guards to exit.
The guard bowed and retreated outside.
The supervisor drove away the guards and turned to Jiang Yingzhao and said: "Why should our family believe your words? Who can guarantee that you will not hide anything after taking Datong in the future? Instead of offending Governor Xing for you, our family will It's better to trust Xing Duxian, at least our family won't have to offend him."
"Even if the two generals take Datong, they don't dare to hide anything from the supervisor. After all, the two generals have offended Xing Duxian, so naturally they don't dare to offend you, the supervisor. Otherwise, even if they win the battle, the court will Decide to blame." Jiang Yingzhao said.
The supervisor pinched the orchid finger and pointed it at Jiang from a distance, and said with a smile: "You are really smart, so whatever, our family will follow your wishes."
"General, thank you to the supervisor." Jiang Yingzhao said with joy on his face.
With the support of the supervisory army, he had the confidence to defy Xing Youwei, the army commander.
"Don't be too busy to be happy." The supervisor said, "The reason why our family trusts you is because we believe that you can wipe out the Liu bandits in Datong. If not, our family would not have offended the commander of the army for you two. "
"The final general will definitely not disappoint the supervisory army." Jiang Yingzhao said with clasped fists.
The supervisor nodded with satisfaction and said immediately: "Come and sit down. Don't leave today. You two will stay and have dinner with our family and return to the army tomorrow."
"What about Xing Duxian?" Jiang Yingzhao asked tentatively.
The supervisor said: "You can stay with peace of mind. Our family will send someone to inform him. I believe he will still give this face to our family. What's more, even if he doesn't give our family any face, our family is not afraid of him."
"Everything is subject to your orders, supervisor." Jiang Yingzhao stayed and walked back to his previous seat and sat down.
Man Gui was left standing next to the door. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to the supervisor and said: "Since General Jiang stayed with you, the supervisor will go back to the camp first. There are still things that need to be dealt with.”
When the supervisor heard this, his face sank and he said: "Our family has helped you so much, but you still dare to shame our family. It seems that all our good intentions have been fed to the dogs."
"I don't dare." Man Gui also knew not to offend him, so he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Jiang Yingzhao, who was sitting in his seat, said at this time: "Supervisor, calm down. General Man has such a temper. He is all about military affairs. Why not let him go back to prepare first, so that the army can move into Yanqing to suppress the bandits earlier?" .”
"Hmph, since General Man is dedicated to serving the public good, we can't force him to stay here, lest others think that our food is something that even a cat or a dog can eat." The supervisor snorted coldly.
Jiang Yingzhao turned around and said to Man Gui who was standing below: "General Man, please go back early. The affairs of the army will be left to you for the time being. It's a pity that you won't be able to enjoy the banquet hosted by the supervisor."
As he spoke, he winked.
"General, I will retire." Man Gui saluted the supervisor on the main seat.
However, the supervisor ignored him and picked up the tureen beside him, brought it to his mouth and blew in the hot air inside.
Man Gui hugged Jiang Yingzhao again and then left.
As soon as the people left, the supervisor put down the tureen in his hand, looked at Jiang Yingzhao and said, "How did you get such a Yumugada? I don't know what Sun Zhisheng and Yuan Yuanyu fell in love with him."
Mangui's promotion to the rank of general was entirely due to Sun Chengzong's promotion. Without Sun Chengzong, he would not even be a general in Liaodong.
