Chapter 378
After the reception banquet, Wang Xiaolie sat alone under the pavilion in the yard to rest. The April sunshine was warm and shone on his body, making him drowsy. Only the flowers and trees in the sunshine looked prosperous.
Jiang Min came in from outside and saw Wang Xiaolie closing his eyes slightly, not knowing whether he was asleep or not. 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, just wait a moment."
Let’s talk about it in 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. He said: "The official document from Yique Yuhuan. It is said that Ding Jin's place is very busy now. Not only did we send people there, but Zhai Zhenfu also sent people there.
They are in Yique Town. There are also envoys sent by Liu Yu who have arrived in Yingyang County."
Wang Xiaolie read the official document and asked: "Zhang Jun walked slowly, where are you now?"
Jiang Min said: "Counting the days, we should go to Lushan, and we will arrive at Yique Town in two or three days."
Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and said: "This trip is to ask Yu Huan to talk to Ding Jin, while Zhang Jun and his people are in the dark. I sent Zhang Jun because I was afraid that Liu Yu would also send people to Ding Jin, and there would inevitably be some discomfort.
Good thing. You reply to Yu Huan and tell him to try his best to win over Ding Jin. If Ding Jin's price is too high, try to let his subordinates persuade him. Tell him that we can't compare to Liu Yu in giving money to officials.
.But as long as Ding Jin does not forget that he is a Song Dynasty, we will have a chance. If Ding Jin does not care about national integrity, there is nothing we can do."
Jiang Min agreed and turned to leave, but was stopped by Wang Xiaolie again.
Wang Xiaolie said: "Go get paper and pen, and I will write a letter to Zhang Jun. I really have no confidence in Ding Jin. But if you want to support the Hedong Rebel Army, it is best to go through him. In the end, I can only
I’m afraid I still have to rely on Zhang Jun.”
Jiang Min agreed. Not long after, he went back to the house to get paper and pen.
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, he handed it to Jiang Min. He said: "Send someone to give it to Zhang Jun. Tell him that if Yu Huan does not go well, he should use his brain more."
Jiang Min looked at the eight words and felt a little confused. But he didn't say anything and just made a promise.
Seeing Jiang Min walking away, Cui Qingqi said: "Zhenfu, 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 doing things and sometimes loses his bottom line. As long as he remembers to be a good person and not to cross the line, that will be enough."
In Lushan County, Zhang Jun left the Xianju Inn and went to the foot of a big elm tree on the street. He looked around and took out the document. Looking at the eight big characters written by Wang Xiaolie on it, he felt a little at a loss for a moment.
He has been under Wang Xiaolie for more than three years, and the two of them know each other well. Wang Xiaolie knows who Zhang Jun is, and Zhang Jun naturally knows who Wang Xiaolie is. These eight words have two meanings. One is
Ask Zhang Jun not to do anything too extreme, as there will be no way to end it afterwards. Another reason is to know that Yu Huan's persuasion to Ding Jin may not go well, and ask Zhang Jun to use necessary means to complete the task. As long as the task can be completed, Zhang Jun will do a great job
Xiao Lie will not pursue the case. It is precisely because he does not pursue the case that Zhang Jun should stick to the rules and remember to be a good person.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Zhang Jun's thoughts fluctuated. What is the necessary means? The most extreme one is of course to kill Ding Jin.
Is it difficult to assassinate an envoy? For Wang Xiaolie, the surrounding envoys should not be difficult. Most of the assassination plots in movies and TV series that he watched in his previous life were thrilling and amazing. But be realistic.
It cannot be said to be true. But the intelligence system of the previous life, coupled with 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, it only collects intelligence and transmits information, and usually does not reveal anything. Just like Xianju Inn, in many states and counties, there are intelligence systems to transmit information.
Channels. 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 Intelligence, and are not related to intelligence.
Systems intersect.
In this era, even the emperor's guards are full of loopholes, not to mention local officials. But for Wang Xiaolie, assassination is of little benefit to him, and it is easy to become a target of public criticism. What is most useful in war is inconspicuous 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 forces occupied the three counties of Yingyang, Dengfeng and Mi County in the Songshan area, and the middle area between Wang Xiaolie, Zhai Xing and Meng Bangxiong. Once Wang Xiaolie occupied it, he formed a semi-control of Luoyang.
Surrounding them, and moving eastward directly threatens Zhengzhou and Kaifeng Prefecture. This will arouse Liu Yu's great vigilance, and a fierce war is also possible.
Wang Xiaolie hoped that there would be two to three years of peace to complete internal rectification, integration of war resources, and military training without any war. Therefore, in the Songshan area, he hoped that there would be someone who could listen to his orders and
It does not belong to his own power, and at the same time it does not irritate Liu Yu. Ding Jin meets the requirements, but he is not sure whether he will 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 major reorganization of the army a few days ago still stimulated Zhang Jun. It made Zhang Jun understand that if he wants to be a high official in a political system, he must either manage civil affairs or lead the army. Like doing it yourself
It is difficult to rise to the top of these things. No matter how much Wang Xiaolie takes it seriously, the future is there and there is no way. When Xinye met Wang Zhongfu and others, Zhang Jun had the idea of entering a military school to study and become a military commander.
After finishing this matter, he reported to Wang Xiaolie that he still wanted to lead the troops. The unrestrained life outside was satisfying, but it delayed the future. No matter how you weigh it, it was a loss-making transaction.
Returning to the Yuelai Inn where they were staying, Yu Nu and Ping Ping were admiring flowers under a pomegranate tree in the yard. Seeing Zhang Jun come in, Yu Nu asked: "It's getting late today, should we stay in Lushan County again?"
Staying for a day? You have to hurry up front, but you don’t have to hurry up behind you."
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 when he heard 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 saying that, he went back to his room.
Looking at Zhang Jun's back, Yu Nu 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.
Bitter life!"
