After the reception banquet, Wang Xiaolie sat alone under the pavilion in the yard to rest. The April sunshine is warm and shines on the body, making people drowsy. Only the flowers and trees in the sun looked prosperous.
Jiang Min came in from the outside and saw Wang Xiaolie closing his eyes slightly, wondering if he was asleep or not, so he couldn't help but hesitate. Cui Qing, who was guarding the pavilion, stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter? If it's not urgent, we can wait until the afternoon."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiaolie's voice was heard: "Let him come over. I'm not asleep."
Jiang Min stepped forward quickly and presented the official document in his hand to Wang Xiaolie. Said: "The official document from Yique Yu Huan came. It was said that Ding Jin's place was very busy now. Not only did we send people there, but Zhai Zhenfu also had people in Yique Town. There were also envoys sent by Liu Yu. Yingyang County."
Wang Xiaolie read the official document. Asked: "Zhang Jun walked slowly, where are you now?"
Jiang Min said: "Counting the days, we should arrive at Lushan, and we will arrive at Yique Town in two or three days."
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while. Said: "This trip is to ask Yu Huan to talk to Ding Jin. Zhang Jun is leading people in the dark. I sent Zhang Jun because I was afraid that Liu Yu would also send people to Ding Jin, and something bad would inevitably happen. Please reply. Tell Yu Huan to try his best to win over Ding Jin. If Ding Jin asks for too much, try to let his subordinates persuade him. Tell him that we can't compare to Liu Yu when it comes to giving money to officials. But as long as Ding Jin doesn't forget Since we are from the Song Dynasty, we have a chance. If Ding Jin doesn't care about national integrity, there will be nothing he can do."
Jiang Min agreed and turned to leave, but was stopped by Wang Xiaolie again.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Go and get some paper and pen, and I'll write a letter to Zhang Jun. I really don't have much confidence in Ding Jin. But if you want to support the Hedong Rebels, it's best to go with him. In the end, I can only I’m afraid I still have to rely on Zhang Jun.”
Jiang Min promised. Not long after, I went back to the house to get pen and paper.
Wang Xiaolie picked up a pen and wrote eight words on the paper: "Keep the moral integrity and be a good person."
After writing it, give it to Jiang Min. Said: "Send someone to Zhang Jun. Tell him that if Yu Huan doesn't go well, he should use his brain more."
Jiang Min looked at the eight characters and felt a little confused. But he didn't say anything and just promised.
Seeing Jiang Min walking away, Cui Qingqi said: "Zhen Fu, why did you give Zhang Jun this eight-character name?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "People are different. Zhang Jun is a smart person, but he is ruthless in his actions and sometimes loses his bottom line. As long as he remembers to be a good person and not to cross the line, that is enough."
In Lushan County, Zhang Jun left the Xianju Inn and went to a big elm tree on the street. Seeing no one around, he took out the paperwork. Looking at the eight big characters written by Wang Xiaolie above, I felt a little at a loss for a moment.
Having worked under Wang Xiaolie for more than three years, the two of them knew everything about him. Wang Xiaolie knew who Zhang Jun was, and Zhang Jun naturally knew who Wang Xiaolie was. These eight words have two meanings. The first is to ask Zhang Jun not to do anything excessive, as he will not be able to end the situation afterwards. Another one is knowing that Yu Huan's persuasion to Ding Jin may not go smoothly, so Zhang Jun uses necessary means to complete the task. As long as the mission can be completed, Wang Xiaolie will not pursue Zhang Jun's actions. It is precisely because he did not pursue the case that he allowed Zhang Jun to stick to the rules and remember to be a good person.
Gu Jing looked up at the sun in the sky, and Zhang Jun's thoughts fluctuated. What are the necessary means? The most extreme thing is of course to kill Ding Jin.
Is it difficult to assassinate a governor? It shouldn't be difficult for Wang Xiaolie to find the surrounding envoys. Most of the assassination plots in the movies and TV series I watched in my previous life were thrilling and amazing. But speaking truthfully, it cannot be taken seriously. But the intelligence system of the previous life, plus the espionage system relying on the intelligence system, has a lot to learn from.
Wang Xiaolie's intelligence system is under the control of Wang Ruohai's Jiyi Department. Unless there is a special order, we just collect intelligence and transmit information, and we usually don't show off. Just like the Xianju Inn, in many states and counties, there are channels for the intelligence system to transmit information. Of course, in addition to these semi-open channels, there are also some secret channels. Really more intense operations, such as assassinations, riots, rescues, etc., are directly carried out by personnel sent by the Department of Information and Communications, and do not interact with the intelligence system.
In this era, even the emperor's guards are full of loopholes, let alone local officials. But for Wang Xiaolie, assassination would not bring much benefit to him, and he would easily become the target of public criticism. What is of great use to war is the humble intelligence collection. A systematic intelligence system, with specialized intelligence collection, analysis, and suggestions, is far beyond what can be compared to sending out a few detailed operations.
Ding Jin's power occupies the three counties of Yingyang, Dengfeng and Mi County in the Songshan area, and is the middle area between the three powers of Wang Xiaolie, Zhai Xing and Meng Bangxiong. Once Wang Xiaolie occupied it, he formed a semi-siege of Luoyang, and directly threatened Zhengzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture by going eastward. It would arouse Liu Yu's great vigilance, and a fierce war might break out.
Wang Xiaolie hoped that there would be two to three years of peace to complete the internal reorganization, the integration of war resources, and the training of the army without any war. Therefore, in the Songshan area, I hope there will be a force that can listen to my own orders, but does not belong to myself, and at the same time will not irritate Liu Yu. Ding Jin meets the requirements, but he doesn't know if he can obey his orders.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jun looked at the sun and sneezed.
He has made a lot of achievements in the past few years, but the reorganization of the army a few days ago still irritated Zhang Jun. Let Zhang Jun understand that within a political system, if you want to be a high official, you must either manage civil affairs or lead troops. It's hard to rise to the top with things like what you do. No matter how important Wang Xiaolie is, the future is there and there is nothing he can do about it. Xinye met Wang Zhongfu and others, and Zhang Jun wanted to study in a military school and become a military commander.
After finishing this matter, he reported to Wang Xiaolie that he was still right to lead the troops. The unrestrained life outside is satisfying, but it delays the future. No matter how you weigh it, it is a loss-making business.
Back at the Yuelai Inn where they were staying, Yunu and Pingping were admiring the flowers under a pomegranate tree in the yard. Seeing Zhang Jun come in, Yunu asked: "It's getting late today. Should we stay in Lushan County for another day? If you are in a hurry, you don't have to rush behind."
Zhang Jun said: "No. You guys pack up, we will be on the road in a while. We will definitely arrive at Yique in four days!"
Yu Nu was unhappy after hearing this: "Yu Huan left a few days ago and there is no news of his return. Since nothing happens, why should we be in a hurry?"
Zhang Jun said impatiently: "What do you know! No need to say more, I have something important to do and cannot drag my feet on the road!"
After that, he went back to his room.
Looking at Zhang Jun's back, Yunu spat: "Take a chicken feather as an arrow! If you didn't use your official position to suppress me, who would come! I just lived a good life in Xiangyang, and then I was dragged here! Really Life is miserable!”
After saying that, there was no choice but to go back to the floor with Pingping to clean up and salute.
