Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

After meeting the emperor, Guo Jing walked out of the palace expressionlessly. Following him was the Minister of War, the newly appointed Zuo Pushe, named Li Enming, a thin old man.

Guo Jing had known him for a long time. When Li Enming went to Xiangyang for inspection, he met Guo Jing.

The two chatted happily.

However, due to the obstruction of some people, none of the promises Li Enming made came true.

This time, he also openly recommended Guo Jing.

However, this little old man told Guo Jing more than once that it was someone higher up who really wanted him to be the governor of Xiangyang.

But as for who it was, the little old man would not say it even to death.

In desperation, Guo Jing could only endure the doubts in his heart.

However, it doesn't matter who arranged to be the governor of Xiangyang and the general of Zhenbei.

All Guo Jing needs is to be able to defend Xiangyang.

As for other stuff.

Guo Jing didn't really care.

Now he has a vacancy as a commander in front of the palace.

Although this is a vacancy, it is a second-grade official. The purpose of this is to match his position as the governor of Xiangyang and the general of Zhenbei.

"Master Guo, Master Li, please stay!"

A voice came from behind.

The two men immediately looked back.

He is a young civil servant.

Guo Jing didn't recognize him.

But Li Enming frowned.

However, he still stopped to save face.

"Master Guo, Master Li, you are polite when you lower your rank." The civil servant bowed slightly and clasped his fists: "Master Li, Prime Minister Qin has invited you!"

As soon as I heard this sentence.

The expression on Li Enming's face became more serious.

He glanced at the palace maid and eunuch walking past him.

Some don't want to go.

But after thinking about it again, he sighed, but the old guy rolled his eyes and said to Guo Jing.

"Master Guo, I don't know if you have time to go with me. The Prime Minister is in charge of the household department. All the soldiers, grain and grass, as well as all kinds of miscellaneous things in Xiangyang County are all managed by you. The Prime Minister will be responsible together."

Even if Guo Jing is too dull and stupid, he still understands that this old guy wants to drag him along.

Although he didn't want to be in the vanity fair, when he thought of the urgent need for military pay, food and grass on the front line of Xiangyang, he handed over his hand and said, "Listen to Mr. Li, I am willing to go with you."

"Lord Guo, you're welcome!" Li Enming finally showed a smile on his face. Although Guo Jing was just a martial artist in the past, he actually had real skills, and this time he was named by a nobleman in the harem. Support.

With him accompanying him, Qin Hui was full of evil, and he couldn't tell the story of his suffering.

The young civil servant next to him was also stunned.

But without too much hesitation, he turned around and led the two of them towards the carriage not far away.

Guo Jing originally wanted to ride a horse and go by himself, but was forced by the little old man to get into the carriage.

After getting on the carriage.

Li Enming immediately whispered to Guo Jing: "Master Guo, when you get to Qin Hui's house, don't say anything from now on. I will handle any problems you have. You just need to be a witness for me in the future. As for, Regarding the military pay and food on the front line in Xiangyang, don’t worry, I won’t miss you a cent, a penny, or a grain of millet!”

"it is good!"

Guo Jing had an impression of this Prime Minister of Qin.

But I don’t know much.

All I know is that this Prime Minister of Qin has an inexplicable relationship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, but he was also involved in the Mongolian assassination that happened in the imperial city not long ago. Nowadays, it is considered a semi-retired state.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

A somewhat handsome middle-aged scholar stood at the door.

Guo Jing didn't recognize him as Qin Hui, but the little old man clasped his fists as soon as he got off the carriage.

I went through a whole set of official rituals with Qin Hui, which seemed extremely complicated.

But Guo Jing just performed a simple official ceremony.

Maybe the servants had already informed him, or maybe he was so sophisticated that he could keep his face straight, so he didn't show the slightest surprise when faced with Guo Jing's visit, but stepped aside very gently.

"You two, please come in!"

Qin Hui led the two of them to the central living room.

There was not too much greeting, just a few chats, and then we got to the point, "Two of you, what do you think of the assassination of the Great Khan of Mongolia?"

Li Enming's face remained unchanged and he said lightly: "I have already reported this matter to my emperor, and I have no opinion."

Qin Hui smiled and said nothing, but looked at Guo Jing.

"What do you think, Mr. Guo?"

Just as Guo Jing was about to speak, Li Enming suddenly interrupted him: "Master Guo and I have the same opinion. If Prime Minister Qin has any opinion, why not say it directly and let me and Master Guo listen."

Qin Hui cursed this old fox in his heart.

Why didn't I see how cunning this old fox was before?

But he still had a pleasant look on his face.

He just might have caught some wind chill and coughed a few times before he said: "I believe that this time the Mongolian Khan was assassinated. Whether it is true or not, he will definitely invade the Central Plains in a large scale and will not go to war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses, the new Mongol Khan Kublai Khan must be eager to perform meritorious service in order to maintain his rule and gain the support of other Mongol kings.

Instead of fighting for revenge against the Manchus, it would be better to invade our fertile Central Plains.

After all, compared with the powerful Manchu cavalry, our north only has the Xiangyang defense line of six isolated cities connected in series, with a total of only 20,000 to 30,000 people. How could it withstand dozens of Mongolian tribes and hundreds of thousands of troops. "After Qin Hui finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of the two people, trying to see some clues.

But, he was disappointed.

Putting aside the old fox Li Enming, Guo Jing had no expression on his face, but he was thinking about Qin Hui's words in his heart.

I saw no one responded to me.

Qin Hui didn't feel embarrassed either.

Instead, he continued to think about himself and said: "I would like to inform the Holy Lord and clarify the stakes involved, and mobilize one hundred thousand troops to go north to deploy the Xiangyang defense line. The Xiangyang defense line is already easy to defend but difficult to attack. With this With the addition of 100,000 soldiers and horses, the Xiangyang defense line will become an iron barrel, and there will no longer be fear of the Mongolian invasion from the south."

Li Enming suddenly sneered in his heart. The tail of this old fox was finally exposed. It turned out that he wanted to rescue Wu Guogong!

Now all the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are surrounding Duke Wu.

To mobilize 100,000 troops and horses to go north in one go, not to mention how much time it will take and how much more military pay and food will be spent. The court's troops and horses are not enough now. If we want to mobilize troops to go north now, let Wu Guogong seize the opportunity. If you take the opportunity to rebel, big problems will arise.

Li Enming was sneering in his heart, but he didn't expect Qin Hui's next words to make his jaw drop!
