Chapter 261 Who will win the destiny? (24)

The Qingshuiquan, deputy commander of the Fengzhou Army, was angrily leaving Qingshuiquan, and the Black Eagle Army took advantage of the coolness. The Fengzhou coach had never shown up, so Guo Jiong naturally sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

In the afternoon, Zheng, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, got up Baiwai cavalry and came to Wangcheng Mountain in person. A father-in-law who read the imperial edict was accompanied by a father-in-law.

When the father-in-law in the palace finished reading the imperial edict with a sharp voice, the commander of the Black Eagle Army, the commander of the Black Eagle Army, Bai Shuangwu, the commander of the Fengzhou Army, Li Chongsheng, and the deputy commander Zhao Wen all stared at each other, and forgot to thank him for a moment. Zheng Qi coughed suddenly several times, and the four of them woke up.

The Black Eagle Army and the Fengzhou Army, who were still tense just now, became a family in a blink of an eye: the Black Eagle Army and the Fengzhou Army were 5,000 troops, and the Fengzhou Army were combined into the new army, the Long Wei Army. Guo Jiong, the deputy commander of the Black Eagle Army, was appointed as the commander of the Long Wei Army, and Li Chongsheng was the deputy commander of the Long Wei Army. He was under the jurisdiction of the left and right sides. Bai Shuangwu was the commander of the Long Wei Army, and led the former Black Eagle Army, and led the former Fengzhou Army. The Long Wei Army was the former Long Jie Army, located north of the west gate.

Of course, Zheng Qi didn't know the contest beside Qingshuiquan. After reading the imperial edict, he bowed and smiled and said, "Congratulations to the four. From now on, the four generals will be the generals of the imperial guards. Everyone is the minister of the same palace, so you must get closer."

The imperial edict has been issued, and Guo Jiong was already the leader of the Longwei Army at this time. He replied: "The Longwei Army is a new army, and the gap between the old six armies such as Hudu and Long Jie is too big. Zheng Shumi must support him in the future."

In just one year, Zheng Qi was demoted from Kaifeng Prefecture's Young Master to a censor and miraculously promoted to Deputy Privy Councilor. Thinking about this process, Zheng Qi was like a dream. He knew that Guo Jiong was Hou Dayong's confidant general and did not dare to act like a Deputy Privy Councilor. He said: "The Black Eagle Army and the Fengzhou Army are both powerful troops that are stunning the border. No one in the Great Zhou Dynasty knows, General Guo is polite."

Zheng Qi then turned around and bowed to Li Chongsheng, "General Li is the General of the Guards. He used to take good care of his subordinates, and he would like to give him advice in the future."

Li Chongsheng's clan brother, Li Chongjin, had a round face, looked honest and honest, but was actually extremely cunning. He was Li Chongjin's most considerate think tank. When the Guards were generals, he refuted the face of Zheng Qi, the young master of Kaifeng Prefecture, several times, and the two of them had deep resentment. However, one after another, Li Chongsheng was not embarrassed when he heard Zheng Qi's words, and his face was filled with smiles. He said: "In the past, everyone did their own things, and Zheng Shumi must be forgiven. If he has some help in the future, Li is willing to do whatever he wants."

Zheng Qi was unwilling to mention the past, and the two laughed intimately.

After saying politely, the Black Eagle Army was in front and the Fengzhou Army was behind, and entered the Daliang imperial capital in order. The Black Eagle Army had distinct armor. The Fengzhou Army was wearing tattered clothes, and the strong contrast became an important topic of conversation for the people.

When Hou Dayong heard the Black Eagle Army entering the city, his joy was naturally unexpressed. When he became the prime minister in Daliang City, he became a completely bare commander. Now the direct troops finally entered Daliang City, which made him more confident. However, he did not rush to recruit generals of the Black Eagle Army, nor did he allow He Wulang, Chen Meng and others to go to the Longwei Army's headquarters to meet Guo Jiong. It would be better to do less stupid things to teach people how to handle them.

Qian Xiangnan belonged to the Longwei Army. He used to be the chief secretary of the Black Eagle Army. The position of chief secretary was just a disguise. His real mission was to command the military intelligence camp. This time he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Left Xiang Army of Longwei Army, and changed from civil service to military service. It was Hou Dayong who carefully arranged it. Qian Xiangnan and the military intelligence camp were to operate in Daliang City. There must be an appropriate identity to cover up. The deputy commander of the Left Xiangnan of Longwei Army of Longwei Army, this intermediate military service is most suitable for Qian Xiangnan.

After Qian Xiangnan entered the city, he did not go to the military camp. He wore a round-necked robe and took Duan Zhengliang and his followers, and then slipped into the bustling city. He walked around and around, and Qian Xiangnan appeared in Hou Dayong's study.

After the separation in Lingzhou, Hou Dayong and Qian Xiangnan had been breaking up for more than two years. Although some carrier pigeons maintained close communication, after all, they were thousands of miles apart. When Qian Xiangnan saw Hou Dayong, who was still in a state of spirit, he still knelt down without freedom, and his eyes were a little wet.

After a brief break of the relationship, the two of them turned to the topic.

When Hou Dayong heard that the military intelligence camp also met a boy in white, he couldn't help but say, "What a pity that the boy in white escaped. The master of the Tang Sect in the middle of Shu, the death of Wang Shumi, and the poisoning of the third princess are all related to him."

"No wonder he has such a great experience. It turns out that he is a master of the Tang Sect in Shu." The military intelligence camp surrounded the young man in white with absolute advantage, but let him escape. This incident made Qian Xiangnan feel deeply blind. When he heard about the whole story, he felt a little relieved.

The man in white had contact with the young man in white. After entering the Zan family, he never showed up again. Feiying Hall sent people to guard his door, but found nothing. Hou Dayong also developed a strong interest in this young man in white. "Qian Lang, the military intelligence camp has been in charge of Western Sichuan for many years, have you ever heard of the reputation of this young man?"

Qian Xiangnan's eyes rolled around and said, "The focus of the military intelligence camp collects is the intelligence that the army is interested in. Things in the world have never been involved."

"The Tang Sect was involved in the government affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is not the duty of the people in the martial arts world. There must be an ulterior motive behind this matter. Qian Langqi did not think that the boy in white was a man in the martial arts world."

Hou Dayong spoke objectively, and his tone was also gentle, but Qian Xiangnan felt a little uncomfortable. He thought in his heart: Motive, what is the motive of the Tang Sect? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration in his mind, remembering something, saying: "In recent years, a young hero appeared in the royal family of Western Shu. He was the nephew of the Lord of Western Shu, named Meng Tong, and was called Xiao Mengchang. There were many strange people in the mansion, and many people in the martial arts world surrendered to him. The military intelligence camp has always attached great importance to this person and sent people to keep an eye on him for a long time, but since March this year, Meng Tong has not appeared in Chengdu."

Qian Xiangnan said this and remembered something again, saying, "This Meng Tong likes to wear white clothes and is nicknamed Xiao Mengchang in white clothes. Could it be that this man in white clothes is Meng Tang?" Qian Xiangnan immediately denied this statement: "Meng Tong has a noble status and will not take risks easily. This man in white clothes is definitely not Meng Tong."

When Hou Dayong heard Meng Tong's name, he felt very interesting. "If the man in white was Meng Tong, many things would be easy to explain. Everything he did was only one purpose, which was to cause civil turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Speaking of this, Hou Dayong's face turned cold and said, "Those who colluded with Meng Tong must have ulterior motives."

Qian Xiangnan guessed casually and was not sure that the young man in white was Meng Tong. "I can send a painter to Western Shu and secretly draw a portrait of Meng Tong. It will be clear whether it is Meng Tong."

"This method is very good." Hou Dayong nodded, and then said solemnly: "Flying Eagle Hall and the Military Intelligence Battalion are both used to collect intelligence, but the test focus is different. Feiying Hall mainly focuses on internal affairs, and the Military Intelligence Battalion is mainly affairs outside the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that you have come to Daliang and Meng Shu and Du Gang will often meet. I will set a rule here that Feiying Hall and the Military Intelligence Battalion must do their own business independently. No subordinates are allowed to contact them privately, nor are they allowed to exchange information. It is necessary to negotiate between the two parties and you will contact Du Gang in person."

Hou Dayong emphasized, "This is a hard rule and must be followed."

After talking about the important matter, Qian Xiangnan took the painting around him and said, "This is the painting that the teacher Gao Madam asked me to bring over."

After opening it, Shi Gao Yueming in the painting held his beautiful daughter and looked at Hou Dayong with tenderness. This was a fine brushwork painting. The two were vivid and their expressions were very vivid. Hou Dayong looked at the woman full of alien emotions and remembered the little things by the Qingshui River. He couldn't help but stayed aside and said to himself: "Am I really a ruthless person? I haven't thought of a mother and daughter far away in Lingzhou for a long time."

A few days after the Black Eagle Army and Fengzhou Army arrived at Daliang, the war in the north ended strangely.

There are two reasons for the ending. One is that the Great Zhou army is in danger, with sufficient soldiers and sufficient food. The elite Khitan troops led by Yelu Shu Law Firm could not gain any advantage on the battlefield. Another reason is that the Tatar tribe, deep in the northern grassland, took advantage of the Khitan troops to move south, and suddenly crossed the Erqina River and defeated the enemy's lieutenant troops. The troops headed straight to Shangjing. Wherever they passed, they burned, killed and looted. In order to prevent the old nest from being taken away, Yelu Shulu was forced to return to the north to go.

The Khitan army retreated north of Yanshan Mountain. The 30,000 Northern Han army led by Liu Jiye could not stand it alone. After launching another full-scale attack, the Northern Han army retreated from Tuanbai to the control area of ​​the Northern Han Shiyuan.

On July 30, Zhao Kuangyin led the Hujie Army and the Yulin Army back to Daliang City.

The defensive pattern in the north has returned to its previous pattern: the city of Youzhou was led by the governor Han Tong, and the army of the governor Yuan Yan, and the army of Cangzhou was led by the governor Yuan Yan, and reinforcements and logistics could be continuously transported to Youzhou and Cangzhou through the Yongji Canal. The crisis on the northern border turned into invisible, and the Eighteen Prefectures of Youyun fell steadily into the bag of Dazhou. Since the crisis on the northern border has become worse than the crisis on the northern border, Daliang City does not need more troops. Except for the Hei Diao Army and Fengzhou Army who rushed to Daliang from the far northwest and southwest, the rest of the army returned to the establishment.

The Great Zhou Dynasty finally survived the first crisis since the young emperor ascended the throne, and the New Dynasty gradually entered a normal track.
