Chapter 64: Waihe
Most of the people present did not know about Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu. They always thought that Wang Xuan's parents had both died and depended on Wang Bing's grandparents and grandchildren for their own lives. However, they did not expect that at this time, not only did the news that Wang Fan was alive, but that he would not have heard the news that he was alive.
He also came to Lanzhou.
Of course, in addition to being happy for Wang Bing and Wang Xuan’s grandchildren, Su Laochang also noticed a key message, that is, Wang Fan came to Lanzhou to serve on duty this time.
Although Su Laochang's family was defeated, he was a family of officials after all. He also had an imperial examination when he was young and still had a good understanding of the stories of the dynasty.
Before, the king criticized the attack on Yan and angered the current emperor. He first demoted Tangzhou and then Lanzhou for his crime of disrespect. Ordinary people may not know anything, but Su Laochang knew very well that as long as the leader was led by Cai Ying.
The war faction did not lose its power, and it was almost impossible for Wang Bing to make a comeback and return to the center.
However, who would have thought that there would be today's variables?
Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu has been in the past six years, and there has been no news during this period. It must be that something happened on the way. He was able to arrive in Bianjing with Chi Hu's secret envoy two months ago, which shows that Wang Fan has worked so hard.
After all the hardships, he finally arrived at the tent of the Chihu people and completed the task of secretly envoy Chihu.
Even though Wang Fan arrived at the King's Ting, who had only arrived at the Chihu people after both sides had decided to attack Yan, seemed to have no practical contribution, but he had gone through a lot of hardships, and it could even be said that he had gone through this disaster.
This hard work is not something that anyone can deny.
Even in the Great Yue, which established the country with Confucian loyalty and filial piety, this is even more obvious.
Human emotions are often interconnected.
When Wang Bing advised to block the coalition forces from attacking Yan, he was also worried that his lips would die and his teeth would be cold. In order to find out the details of the Chihu people, he recommended his eldest son, Wang Fan's secret envoy, Chihu, despite the dangers, and after such hardships and disasters, he was able to return.
Bianjing.
Not to mention Cai Ying and other court officials, even if the current emperor still holds a grudge against the king when he was advised and blocked, he would not be able to escape a stupid and harsh evaluation.m.
Mr. Su felt that this time was no longer a matter of whether Wang Bing could recover, but when would he recover and what position he would recover.
Mr. Su Chang saw Wang Bing that in addition to Wang Kong, there was also a man beside Lu Xiong with a steep face and a thin figure, a strange face. He guessed that he should be the one who sent Wang Fan to the stone court to report the news.
Now he didn't want to ask directly what Wang Fan had done to Lanzhou, but just said to Xu Huai:
"As such a happy event, Xu Huai, you should escort Wang Bing's grandfather. Miss Xuan goes to Kelan City to meet the eldest son!"
Wang Bing and Lu Xiong took a detour to Zhufeng Villa in the middle of the journey. In addition to picking up Wang Xuan, they also invited Xu Huai to accompany him.
At this critical moment, Wang Fan was ordered to work in Lanzhou. He was so busy that he had no time to rush to the Lanzhou stone court to see his old father who had suffered a lot of grievances must have been related to the battle against Yan, which had already entered a intensive rhythm.
Xu Huai said a lot in the past, but Wang Bing may not be able to listen to it, but one thing is that Xu Huai said it to his heart, that is, Wang Bing is really worried about handing over the plan to attack Yan to Cai Ying.
Many selfish people fuck it in their hands.
In the past, Guo Zhongxiong and Yue Hailou, in the Lanzhou area, were all invasive and secretly to attack Yan. No matter how worried they were, they were not qualified to interfere. In order to incorporate 500 prisoners into the wing army, they made such a big move to succeed.
However, they did not expect that Wang Fan would survive and return from the secret mission. They did not expect that Wang Fan would come to Lanzhou to serve as an order.
Seeing Wang Bing, Wang Xuan couldn't wait to rush to Kelan City immediately. Xu Huai said to Su Laochang: "Dad Su, stay in the villa, let's accompany Wang Bing's grandpa!"
Although the defenses between men and women in the world are not very strict, Liu Qiong'er was embarrassed to ride a horse with Xu Huai in front of Wang Bing and Lu Xiong, so she led Su Laochang's maroon horse over, and whispered to Su Laochang when she led the horse.
He said, and asked him to return to the villa and immediately arrange for Zheng Tu to rush to Kelan City.
There is no need for Liu Qiong'er to explain more, and Su Laochang also knows what she thinks.
After all, they don’t know Wang Fan’s character and temper, nor do they know what Wang Fan would think of them. With Zheng Tu, a versatile figure, it is not convenient for many Xu Huai, Liu Qionger, Yin Peng to show up.
Zheng Tu can do things.
Wang Bing, Wang Xuan and his grandson walked in a car, while the others rode on horses and walked around the stone gate and headed towards the post road.
"This is Zheng Shou and Zheng - five people secretly went to Chihu with the eldest son. Only after great hardships did Zheng escort the eldest son to complete the mission and return to Bianjing." Wang Bing,
Wang Xuan couldn't wait to rush to Kelan City, and Lu Xiong waited until the way to introduce the person who reported the news to Xu Huai.
Xu Huai saw that Zheng Tianshou would not be too old, but his face was dark, thin and resolute, like a mountain rock that had been eroded by years. I don’t know what kind of hardship they have endured in the north over the years, so he bowed and said, “Xu Huaijian.”
After Master Zheng - I can't imagine what kind of hardships Mr. Zheng and the eldest son have experienced in the past six years!"
Zheng Shou arrived in Lanzhou with Wang Fan. After learning where Wang Bing was, he rushed to Lanzhou Stoneyard to report the news.
After talking about the hardships and disasters of Chihu during his years of missions in the stone court, he hurriedly came to Zhufeng Villa. He didn't have time to understand the details of the bandits in Tongbai Mountain.
At this time, he just bowed to Xu Huai, which was considered a return of courtesy.
When he turned into the post road, Zheng Tu took Niu Er to catch up from behind.
After Zheng Tu followed Xu Huai, he had great improvements in all aspects, but his slutty background was still there. He did not think highly of himself and would not offend others and would look down on him.
He rode his horse to find Zheng Shou and got close to him. During the 20-mile journey to Kelan City, he was so smart that he almost took all the bottoms of Zheng Shou's ancestors for the 18th generation.
Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu pretended to be a merchant and went north from Yanmen Pass to Daizhou, and successfully passed through the Khitan Xijing Road, but was captured by the Miqu tribe, one of the northwest Fan tribes on the northern foot of Yinshan.
The Miqu Department was still attached to the Khitan at that time and did not surrender the Chihu people. The wealth was robbed and there was no way to redeem themselves. Wang Fan could only kill them. He was a businessman who took the risk of going to the southern monastery grassland to make money. In this way, they became Mi.
The Hunu of the Qu tribe did not reveal his identity until the Mi Qu tribe was conquered by the Chihu people.
The five people who escorted Wang Fan on the mission selected from the army who were powerful and proficient in Hu language and geography; Zheng Shou and the others also tried to escape or return to Bianjing to report the news, but the six people were in a foreign land and were almost imprisoned.
The isolated Manfan tribe acted as a slave, and in the end, only Zheng Shou survived and escorted Wang Fan back to Bianjing.
All the hardships are hard to describe.
Wang Fan returned to Bianjing with the new secret envoy of Chihu people. Even though the news was not made public for a short time, he was still very kind in a small area. Less than a month after returning to Bianjing, the official family summoned him to the exhibition three times to report the matter.
This time, Wang Fan also served as the deputy envoy of the Tianxuan Hall and the deputy envoy of the Northern Expedition Army. He served as the commander of the Northern Expedition Army as the commander of the Fuyan Road and the commander of the Xiaosheng Army.
As for Cai Yuanyou, a Grand Secretary of the Tianxuan Palace, who served as the Transportation Envoy of the Northern Expedition Army, he and others arrived in Taiyuan with their orders to take charge of the military and political affairs of the Hedong Road and the Northern Expedition and Defeat Yan.
The Privy Council has long formulated a detailed combat plan for the division of troops into two groups for this northern expedition to Yan:
The Eastern Army used the Hedong Road Strategic Commander Ge Boyi as the commander-in-chief, assembled the main force of the Tianxiong Army in the cities of Kelan, Langu, Ningwu, etc. in Lanzhou, and attacked Shuozhou north along the Huihe River.
Wang Fan, the deputy envoy of the Northern Expedition Army's military commander, was actually the dispatch of the Eastern Army's military commander and the military commander. He will be the deputy envoy of the Northern Expedition Army's military commander and the deputy envoy of the Northern Expedition Army's transportation.
Guo Zhongxiong and helped Ge Boyi promote the war on the East Road.
The main forces of the imperial guards such as Xuanwu and Xiaosheng were incorporated into the Western Route Army, led by Liu Shizhong and Cai Yuanyou, heading north from Xinzhou and out of Yanmen Pass in Daizhou. The troops headed directly to Yingzhou, the southern part of Datong Prefecture, the heart of the southwest of Khitan.
"The destruction of Yan has officially begun!"
Xu Huai guessed that Wang Fan was ordered to work in Lanzhou at this time and must be related to the attack of Yan. Unexpectedly, the battle against Yan really opened the curtain of the last shame at this moment.
No wonder they had no other information channels in Lanzhou except for a private letter that they could not arrive, and they knew that Wang Fan had escaped from death and returned to Bianjing. Bianjing must have thought that he would keep all this as the highest secret.
at last.
Except for Wang Fan as the assistant commander of the Tianxuan Palace and the deputy envoy of the Northern Expedition Army, the official family finally did not forget that there was a loyal old minister far away in Lanzhou. He tossed and turned and thought about him all the time.
Greatly cross the country.
Although it has not been directly revived, this time it was passed to Lanzhou's imperial edict, and Wang Bing also specially appointed the Lanzhou defense envoy Xu Shenjun.
The Great Yue Dynasty inherited the official system of the previous dynasty, and also retained the titles of the Jiedu, Defense Envoy, Observer, State Governor, etc., but these titles were separated from their actual positions and were only representing a certain level of honor.
However, although Wang Bing, the Lanzhou defense envoy, could not interfere with the authority of the state affairs held by Guo Zhongxiong, the magistrate of Lanzhou, he still had the name of "Xu Shenjun Ji", that is, he could arrange the combat arrangements for the Eastern Route Army
It is better to make some suggestions than to have a thorough false title.
Xu Huai was still thinking hard this morning. They had only 500 prisoners following the army to fight north. How to avoid danger and seek good luck under the suppression and interference of Guo Zhongxiong, Yue Hailou and others, but they did not expect that the situation would be completely complete at this time.
Chapter completed!
