Linling City, Prefect's Mansion.

After listening to Chen Zhi's report, Wang Hong frowned immediately: "Xie Qixian? Isn't he a sick man? Why did he come with the army?"

Chen Zhi lowered his head and said, "This...subordinates don't know."

"Can you see him?"

"I haven't seen it, but my subordinates asked a soldier, and he said that there is indeed a Xie in the army who is traveling with him, but he only travels in a long carriage, so it is difficult to see his face."

Wang Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands.

Chen Zhi peeped at his half-dark face in the dim environment, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Xie Qixian refused to be appointed by the court earlier, and has been willing to stay in Miryang to work for the Jiang family, maybe I don’t have much ambition in my heart.”

"He may have everything he desires, but the Jiang family behind him is not a kind person."

Wang Hong stopped, stroking his beard and muttering: "Since Jiang Shu took office as the prefect, he has used mostly poor families, and even made his own preface to let common people go to school. People's hearts have been gathered. But the disciples disdain to be with him, so that now except for Xie Qixian, those who gather around him are all unrefined people.

"This time he sent troops to Qingzhou. He knew that Xie Qixian was ill, but still forced him to dispatch. It shows that this person has serious plans for Qingzhou."

Chen Zhi nodded thoughtfully, thought for a moment and then asked: "Then the lord will still follow the original plan?"

"Naturally." Wang Hong said without hesitation, and turned around to take a seat in front of the case, "The opportunity was too small to miss, and finally waited until the civil strife in the court and Meng Yu was victimized by his own stupidity and cowardice. Now the opportunity is great, don't miss it!

"As for Xie Qixian... In terms of family status, my Dingshan Wang family is no lower than his Zhujiang Xie family. If he has the ability of his father, I will tolerate him a little bit. A white-faced boy with no ambitions is not enough for him. fear."

·

In the evening of the next day, when the sun was setting, the Xunzhou army arrived at Linling City and camped outside the city.

Half an hour later, looking at the masked people in front of him, the corner of Wang Hong's mouth twitched slightly.

He did hear that there is a special team in the Xunzhou Army known as the Ghost Army. They wear black robes and masks all year round. No one knows what they look like, but he always feels that this is just for the convenience of night operations. I didn't expect them to dress like this during the day.

And this Bu Jingyun, a governor who was born as a mere commoner, did not take off his mask when he saw him, it was really rude.

Wang Hong was unhappy in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said kindly: "Commander Bu, and these few sergeants, since you all came here to discuss with me how to deal with the enemy, we should treat each other frankly. How about taking off the mask?"

"Sorry, this is the rule set by the envoy for the Flying Eagles. As long as you are in the Flying Eagles for a day, you must not take off your mask to anyone," Bu Jingyun said in a straight tone, "Even if I am, I have to abide by it." .”

Wang Hong stared at the dark brown pupils in his mask at close range, and after a while, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised: "Well, I am not a stubborn person, please sit down in the hall, I have prepared delicious wine and food for you, and we will eat together chat."

Bu Jingyun clasped his fists and saluted, then took the four knights to the table and sat down.

Wang Hong also took his seat at the top, glanced over the crowd, and asked suddenly: "I heard that the son of the Taifu has also come to Linling with the army, and I specially prepared for him the most famous honey fried fish in the Zhujiang area. where?"

Bu Jingyun: "The marching road was bumpy, Xie Engeng was not feeling well, and he had already rested early."

"Ah, that would be a pity." Wang Hong shook his head regretfully and sighed, then turned around and ordered someone to deliver the dinner.

After a while, a maidservant in silk and fragrant clothes came to serve food with a food table.

Honey-fried fish, steamed abalone, roasted beef tenderloin, roasted beef liver, stuffed roasted white fish, etc., are served on beautiful lacquer plates, as well as crystal clear fish sticks, shrimp and shellfish. On the display of the ice-made rockery, a pot of soup was served in a clay pot at the end. When the lid was lifted, the thick and fragrant meat was fragrant, and inside was the sour soup of pig's feet that was stewed soft.

"Damn it!" Blue Dragon's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly took pictures and took a few screenshots, posted a bragging post on the forum, and then spoke in their group of four knights: [I didn't expect that the prefect Wang had a long hair. With Zhang Jingming's face in the city, the banquet he entertained was so generous, just this meal, half a month's journey was worth it! 】

[Ning Chengchen: Restrain yourself, don't make trouble for the boss, talk less, eat more. 】

【Shangguan Feidao: This prefect is really good at eating. You can see that he is dressed in silk and satin, and the clothes are embroidered with gold thread. It looks very extravagant. 】

[Blue Dragon: No, let’s forget about sashimi, but there’s even roast beef. I’ve been playing this game for so long, and this is the first time I’ve seen beef on the dining table! 】

[Huo Yuntian: Normally, the imperial court banned the slaughter of cattle because there are few farm cattle in the south and so many cattle and sheep in the north. Rich people will definitely eat it if they want to eat it. Those who really obey the order are probably honest people like Brother Shu. 】

[Shangguan Feidao: Oh my god, the roast beef is so delicious! 】

[Blue Dragon: Brother Shu is so miserable, he doesn't know that we are secretly eating beef behind his back. 】

Wang Hong took a sip of his wine, glanced at the four knights who took off half of their masks and began to eat, cursed inwardly, and immediately rushed to Bu Jingyun to greet him: "Bu Dudu, try this pig's trotter sour soup quickly. But the chefs in my house are good at cooking the pig’s trotters without the big bones, which uses a lot of ingredients, and this pot needs to add six catties of caramel.”

Bu Jingyun picked up the stewed pork skin with chopsticks, put it into his mouth with a large mouthful of meat, and then commented truthfully: "It tastes very good."

Wang Hong smiled brightly: "Chen Yan went to the military camp, and when he came back, he praised the food in the camp with me, which made me wonder if the cooking skills of the chefs in the government office have regressed. Now that I heard what the general said, I Don't worry!"

Bu Jingyun didn't answer, and Chen Zhi, who was sitting at the bottom, quickly flattered: "The cooking skills of the cooks in Bu Dudu's camp are the best in the military cooks, and the cooking skills of the chefs in the county mansion are also the best in government cooks."

Blue Dragon thought flatteringly in his heart, and spoke in the group: [This prefect is so arrogant, he speaks with a sense of superiority, with such good ingredients, even a fool can cook delicious food, if you are capable, give them some potatoes for the cook , Let him compare with our cook in frying shredded potatoes? 】

[Huo Yuntian: Indeed. 】

[Ning Chengzhen: Submit. 】

[Shangguan Feidao: So what, the simpler the ingredients, the better the cooking skills? 】

While eating delicious food, the four knights discussed cooking in the group, not noticing that the topic had already fallen on war.

Wang Hong sighed heavily: "I absolutely disagree with the evacuation of Governor Meng and his family. Once he leaves, the army's hearts will be scattered, and it will be difficult to defend the city."

Bu Jingyun asked: "Meng Inspector has not been found yet?"

"I don't know where he is." Wang Hong shook his head, "But I sent people to investigate. Some people said that they had seen him in Cangjin area, maybe he went to Huaizhou."

Bu Jingyun held his wine glass, nodded in silence, and then said in a slightly confused tone: "I was ordered to support Donghe County, but now Donghe County has fallen, and Governor Meng has not seen him, so I don't know what to do next ..."

Wang Hong's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "The governor doesn't know who led Murong Xianbei to commit crimes in the South?"

"I'm just asking this question, who is leading the troops so fiercely?"

"It's Murong Xianbei's Great Chanyu, Murong Liao."

As if hearing it for the first time, Bu Jingyun took a breath in surprise: "Then this Murong Xianbei may have a big plan."

"Well, if my guess is right, they want to seize the opportunity to seize the land of Qingzhou and invade the capital of Southland." Wang Hong's tone was serious, and then he looked at Bu Jingyun sincerely: "As an official of the Great Wei, Bu Dudu , you and I have the responsibility to stop them going south."

Bu Jingyun nodded frequently: "What the Fujun said is very true."

Wang Hong saw that he was just nodding his head and didn't feel complacent, so he took the initiative to point out his intentions and said: "To be honest, after Governor Meng withdrew, I gathered about [-] Qingzhou remnant soldiers, and I was going to find an opportunity to take them back to Donghe County. Thousands of disabled soldiers, and the two thousand soldiers in our county, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Xianbei army, so we have to ask Budu Dudu to help."

Bu Jingyun looked distressed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with a small-to-many siege battle."

"The governor must not underestimate himself. I have heard that since your Excellency led the army, all the battles have been fought with the few against the many, and there has been no defeat."

Wang Hong said with a smile on his face, and then slightly lowered his voice: "It's a pity that the governor is used to fighting and uses soldiers like a god. With his achievements, he should at least be promoted to the fourth rank now."

Bu Jingyun frowned slightly: "The envoy is already a mountain of kindness to me."

"Don't misunderstand me, Governor, I have absolutely no intention of belittling Governor Jiang," Wang Hong explained unhurriedly, "It's just a pity that the Jiang family lacks some connections in the court, so you can't get the honor you deserve, Governor." and rewards."

Bu Jingyun didn't refute this time, and lowered his eyes, drank some wine with a gloomy expression.

Seeing this, Wang Hong took the opportunity and said: "Bu Dudu was promoted to Dudu as a commoner, and he must have the same ambition to make contributions as I do. Is he unwilling to stay here? I think this is a good opportunity."

Bu Jingyun raised his head: "What is the intention of the lord?"

"General Fan has passed away, and the position of General Zhendong is vacant. The three tribes of Xianbei are extremely rampant. Sooner or later, the court will find someone who can take up this position." To put down the chaos in Qingzhou, I will recommend you to Brother Cong as General Zhendong and Commander, what do you think?"

Bu Jingyun's movements in his hands stopped suddenly, and his eyes were full of astonishment when he looked at the other party.

This surprise was intentionally shown to Wang Hong, and it was also genuinely expressed from the bottom of my heart.

He was amazed that Xie Yin guessed every step the other party said, even the promised official position was exact!

General Zhendong, a general of the third rank, if he holds the festival, he will advance to the second rank, which can be said to be a position of real power.

The most important thing is that Wang Hong was born in the Dingshan Wang family, and the cong brother he moved out was the chariot general Wang Yi, which added a little more credibility to what he said.

Under such circumstances, if the person sitting here is really a general of civilian origin, it may be difficult to resist such a temptation.

At this time, the group of four knights exploded again.

[Ning Chengzhen: Tsk tsk, this plot is well designed, it's a good way to create a divorce. 】

[Lanlong: Don't say it, if he didn't know that Brother Shu will be the emperor sooner or later, I would definitely be tempted if he told me that. 】

[Shangguan Feidao: Boss is excited? 】

[Huo Yuntian: He has already pretended to be very excited, but his acting skills are a bit exaggerated, but it doesn't matter, people who don't know him shouldn't be able to see it. 】

Bu Jingyun acted as if he was holding back his excitement, gulped down the strong wine in his glass, and said: "What the Lord Fu said is that Xianbei is rampant, we must not let him go south wantonly and endanger the safety of the saint, I will stay here Help Fujun stop the Xianbei army, as for other things, please allow me to think about it for a while."

"Hehe, that's natural."

Seeing that his beard was trembling with excitement, Wang Hong knew that his plan had come true, and said with a kind smile, "Okay, let's talk further, the dishes should be cold, let's have a banquet first."

·

That night, Bu Jingyun took the four members of the Flying Eagles to eat until the middle of the moon before leaving the county mansion.

After returning to the camp, the four knights went to find someone to show off the delicacies at the banquet, while Bu Jingyun went directly to Xie Min's tent.

Seeing him coming in, Xie Yin asked, "How?"

"It's exactly what you said." Bu Jingyun took a seat at the table, took a sip of tea from Xu Hai's teacup, "He asked me to cooperate with him and help him take down Qingzhou. Nominate me as General Zhendong."

Xie Yin: "How did the governor react at that time?"

"Pretend to move."

"Just pretending?"

Bu Jingyun raised his eyes to look at him, the eyes of the person in front of him were as deep as a secluded spring, giving people a sense of coldness.

"Xie engaged in doubting me?"

Xie Min looked calm: "I am supervising the army for the lord, so I must pay more attention to it. If the governor finds it offensive, please forgive me."

"No, in this case, you should really doubt me," Bu Jingyun said sincerely, "but don't worry, General Zhendong is a high-ranking official, but in terms of my background, a third-rank general is the limit I can achieve. Only by following the lord to carry out the great cause can the second rank open the mansion and the first rank princes be able to touch it."

Xie Yin raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "The governor is far-sighted."

"Then what should we do next, really want to cooperate with him?" Bu Jingyun asked immediately.

Xie Yin nodded.

"But I don't think this Wang Taishou is a man capable of martial arts. He is afraid that he will hold me back when he goes to the battlefield." Bu Jingyun said.

"It is precisely because he does not know martial arts and is not good at using soldiers that we can cooperate with him." Xie Min said indifferently, "If he wants to use your achievements to advance, we can also use his soldiers to capture the city. As for military achievements, if he has no soldiers to fight , how can there be military merits to speak of?"

Bu Jingyun stared: "You mean, steal his soldiers?"

Xie Yin shook his head: "There is no need to rob, I think that the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers he recruited may not all be willing to follow him."
