Yang Qing walked out of the room and saw Yang Yi standing in the corridor opposite, and quickly went over to say hello.羾
"Mingzhi, are you here too?"
Yang Qing nodded and said, "I came here to have something to do. I just finished talking. You guys chat slowly, I will leave first."
"Ming Zhi walk slowly."
After Yang Qing left, Wei Min and Han Chong welcomed Yang Yi inside. As soon as he sat down, Yang Yi expressed his intention.
"Bandit Zhang Mu?" Wei Min was startled and hurriedly shouted to the door: "Come here, hurry up and catch up with Yang Junhou and ask him to come back and talk to you."
Yang Yi wondered: "Wei Zhonglang, what does this mean?"
"This matter involves Yang Junhou. After he comes back, joining the army will understand the whole story." Wei Min explained.羾
Yang Yi wondered: "Oh? So that's it."
Late at night, Luocheng has already been under curfew, and there are almost no other people on the streets except for the patrolling sergeants. The reason why I say almost is because there are always some people who have access tokens and can freely enter and leave the city.
Mr. Fan is such a person. He is covered in a black robe, and his appearance can hardly be seen in the darkness.
Mr. Fan chose a remote path and tried his best to avoid the night watchmen. After twists and turns, he finally arrived at his destination quietly.
It was still the secluded courtyard. Mr. Fan stood outside the door and looked around. When he saw nothing unusual, he gently knocked on the back door.
"Dianxiao, my subordinate is back."
Under the dim light, the old man's face was still unclear. Mr. Fan's arrival did not make him raise his head. He could only hear a hoarse voice coming out softly: "Tell me, how is the situation?"
"Returning to Dian School, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my destiny." Mr. Fan said with some excitement: "In the past half month or so, Zhang Mu and his gang have done two things, robbed a large amount of military supplies of the puppet Shu, and ruthlessly destroyed the puppet Shu's military resources. The grain path was disrupted."
After hearing the report, the old man finally raised his head, glanced at Mr. Fan, nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job. I'll mark your contribution this time."
"Thank you, Dian Xiao." Mr. Fan bowed his hands.
The old man asked: "Where are Zhang Mu and the others now?"
"In order to prevent the pseudo-Shu government from advancing, and Zhang Mu and the others also suffered a lot of casualties after the two battles, my subordinates decided to let them go back to their nest in the mountains to rest."
The old man said approvingly: "This is the right thing to do, and we must be careful in everything. Zhang Mu and his group are of great use to us, and we cannot let them damage it easily."
"What Dian Xiao said is absolutely correct," Mr. Fan agreed.羾
The old man continued: "Recently, Qingque is preparing to hand over Zang's batch of weapons and provisions in Guanghan County to Zhang Mu. This time I came to Luocheng to meet with him to discuss the matter."
"This is great." Mr. Fan was overjoyed and said, "In this way, Zhang Mu and the others will be greatly strengthened, and they will have a better chance of winning whether they continue to plunder military supplies or start another rebellion."
"Yes, this is exactly what I and Qingque wanted."
The old man stood up and walked into the hall, and continued: "Zhuge Liang led his army to the north and stationed in Hanzhong. It is obvious that he intends to invade the Wei Dynasty. I have sent several messages to the court suggesting strengthening the defense of Yongliang, but those in the court just turned a deaf ear. ah."
"Dianxiao, I forgive my subordinates for talking too much. Ever since Liu Bei's death, the imperial court has begun to look down upon the pseudo-Shu. In recent years, the pseudo-Sichuan has been in seclusion to colonize the valley and recuperate. Those in the court have relaxed their vigilance even more and focused their attention. They all concentrated on Soochow.
In recent years, the status of us Shu school officials in the school affairs office has been getting lower and lower. If my subordinates say something that shouldn't be said, and the school warns me too frequently, those in Luoyang will think that I am making a fuss out of a molehill and making trouble over nothing. . "
"Oh, you are really right. Just a few days ago, there was a rebuke from Luoyang, asking whether a certain person had not performed meritorious service in Shu for a long time, and now he is making a fuss to gain credit." The old man smiled bitterly: "Hey, those people I have been at ease in the Central Plains for too long, and I have become lazy."
"So Dianxiao, my subordinates are bold enough to say this nonsense. In fact, Zhuge Liang might as well send troops to fight. It's time for those people in Luoyang to remember."
After hearing this, the old man scolded: "Be careful, how can you say this?"
"Don't I dare to complain in front of you?" Mr. Fan said with a smile.
The old man sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Well, you'd better do your part and fulfill your responsibilities."
"You will stay in Luocheng for the next two days, waiting for Qingque's arrival with a certain person."
Mr. Fan cupped his hands and said, "No."
Just when Cao Wei's school officials were busy planning important events, Mianzhu County Magistrate Lu Yi quietly walked out of the back door of the county temple. There was a carriage parked outside the door early. A man in his early thirties wearing a bamboo hat jumped out of the carriage, helped Lu Yi into the carriage, and then drove away.羾
The carriage drove from the back street of the county temple to the main street and headed towards the west of the city. After two sticks of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a remote and quiet house. Judging from the shape of the gate, it seemed that it was also a back door.
The middle-aged man got off the carriage and whispered to Lu Yi in the car: "Lv Mingting, we are here."
At this moment, the main hall of the house was full of seats, and in the courtyard and under the corridor outside the hall, there were more than a dozen well-dressed men standing, each holding a sharp knife and staring at the surroundings with concentration.
Lu Yi was led to the main hall. Everyone in the hall stood up when they saw him coming. A middle-aged scribe cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Lu Mingting kept us waiting for a while."
"Haha, I was busy with official duties and was delayed for a while, but I came the latest. Thank you, Colonel Han, Lieutenant Zhuge, and Huo Jishi have been waiting for a long time."
It turns out that the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe is Lieutenant Colonel Han Chong of Youwei Mansion. On his right are Zhuge Qiao and Huo Yi.
There were three people standing on the left, and Lu Yi only recognized one of them, Qu Wei Hao Huang, the person in charge of the Mianzhu County Tour Guard. He had dealt with him several times before, so he knew him well. As for the other two, I don't know them.羾
Fortunately, Han Chong immediately introduced him to Lu Yi, pointing to the short, fat man in his forties and saying, "Lü Mingting, this is Ji Pei Jizezhi, the governor of our Youwei Mansion in Guanghan County."
The governor is the person in charge of Youwei Mansion at the county level. Although he has considerable power, his official rank is lower than that of the county magistrate. Therefore, Ji Pei first bowed to Lu Yi.
After the two finished the ceremony, Han Chong pointed to the young man next to Yue Pei and introduced: "This is Wu Que and Wu Shuqi, the subordinate governor of Hanzhong Prefect Yang Fujun."
"Que has met Lu Mingting."
This young man was Wu Que. On Yang Qing's order, he led several personal guards and came south with Han Chong. In order to facilitate his work and to accumulate merit over time, Yang Qing took advantage of the situation and promoted him to the governor of the county government, officially becoming Zhou Xing's deputy.
Lu Yi raised his hand and returned the salute: "I've met the governor."
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's sit down and talk." Han Chong smiled heartily.羾
After everyone sat down, Han Chong continued: "Everyone, the purpose of our gathering here does not need to be elaborated by Han. This time, we are gathering the four families of Youwei Mansion, Mianzhu County, Zhuge Duwei, and Wu Brothers. With all his strength, he pulled out Cao Wei's Qing Que group and wiped out the bandit Zhang Mu."
"Captain Han, just tell me what to do, and I, Mianzhu County, will fully cooperate." Lu Yi said with his hands in hand.
Zhuge Qiao also expressed his position: "It's the same with Mr. and Huo Jishi. This incident is entirely at the command of Captain Han."
Wu Que was not to be outdone. He cupped his fists and nodded to Han Chong. Needless to say, he and Han Chong came from the same place. Moreover, the main purpose of coming south this time was to ensure Xia Houyue's safety. Everything else would just follow the arrangements. yes.
"Okay, you're welcome to Han."
Han Chong returned the salute and said to Ji Pei: "Director Ji, please tell me about your opponent first."
