Yi Song

Chapter 192: Disaster brings blessing

Liu Guozhang was indeed entertaining guests at Yuxian Tower, including a group of people who had won the title of Wu Jinshi.

Ma Kuo, Wang Xun, Zhou Huang, Huangfu Yuan, Yue Fei, Linghu Yuanheng and 31 other members of the flag-bearing team, as well as 12 Western Army members including Liu Qi, Yang Cunzhong, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Fu Huchen and Wei Changsheng Young talents, as well as the two Western military attachés Wang De and Zhang Jun who led the team.

Including Wang Yan, Chen Guang, Kuang Yousheng, Kuang Yousheng, Yuchi Jing, Li Shigui, as well as Yang Xiaojie, Murong Yewang, and Changsun Mo who returned from Hedong, basically his team is here.

The way to treat guests is also very unique. Everyone first goes to the spacious school performance hall in Liu Guozhang's house to have a test of riding, shooting, swords and guns.

Liu Guozhang galloped back and forth like flying.

The strings ring like thunder, and the arrows fly like lightning. There are no missed arrows, and ten out of ten arrows hit the mark. It caused everyone to cheer in unison.

When the interest came, Liu Guozhang simply blindfolded himself, replaced the infantry with a strong bow, and then asked Zhang Meng to fly the purchased pigeons.

First one.

There was a flapping sound, and the pigeon spread its wings and flew around. Just as it flew into the air, an arrow shot through the pigeon's body like lightning.

Three more were released, and three consecutive arrows hit two pigeons and injured one.

"Wang Shaozai invited you? What's the matter?"

Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, and Wei Changsheng, who were originally arrogant and arrogant because of their superb archery skills, bowed with joy and surrender: "Jie Shi's archery skills are as good as gods, we worship you!"

Calculating the time, it's time to arrive.

"Erlang is here and drags you out of the banquet. Sorry, sorry! You invited me to this banquet and I didn't go because I had something to do. It's rude, rude."

All those at the front are peerless warriors. It would be an honor to lose to them, not unfairly.

Two-quarters of an hour later, Liu Guozhang was ushered into a side pavilion of the Political Affairs Hall, where Wang Fu was waiting for him.

Everyone in high spirits came to Yuxian Tower in a swarm - Liu Guozhang booked the place today, so everyone got drunk before resting!

When he was happy after drinking, someone found Liu Guozhang.

The rest of the people mounted their horses, armed with hand-held weapons, and charged forward. There were maybe a dozen or twenty people, the most numerous being Wang De. The number of wooden figures destroyed was thirty-one.

For sword and gun martial arts, they are Wang De, Fu Huchen, Zhang Meng, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong.

For a time, people were like soaring dragons, horses were galloping like tigers, and the momentum was like the Milky Way rolling up a mountain. They were attacking with spears and knives. After just one galloping charge, the thirty-nine wooden figures were cracked, holed, or broken, and none of them was intact.

"Allow me to change my clothes so that the smell of alcohol won't reach Mr. Wang."

"Haha, you and I, brothers, don't have so much red tape."

"Back to Ambassador Liu, my husband has just received an urgent message from the northwest."

If it were a human being, even if he was wearing armor, he would still be disabled.

Riding, shooting, swords, and spears, and competing head-on, everyone agreed that Liu Guozhang was the first.

"Brother Jiang Ming is too polite. A group of like-minded and vulgar warriors gather together to eat big meat and drink heavily. They are not as elegant as the literary gatherings of you literati. I sent an invitation to Brother Wang just to express my gratitude. I know that Wang Brother, I am busy with political affairs, so I don’t dare expect you to attend the banquet.”

Those who win are more happy than those who lose, and those who lose are also happier.

Then there was a test of swords and guns. Liu Guozhang, with Baihua Zhan on his waist and silver dragon iron spear in hand, galloped into the wooden formation.

Liu Guozhang understood.

Everyone was impressed.

The rest came down, riding and archery, followed by Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Wei Changsheng, and Yue Fei.

"Yes, the most valuable thing about my friendship with Brother Jiang Ming is our understanding."

"That's right, I still need Erlang to help me plan the big events in the northwest."

"Please say."

"I have just received an urgent message from the northwest. Fifteen border managers, including Zhong Shidao, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu, Li Zhongjie, Liu Zhongwu, and Liu Yanqing, have jointly signed a petition to persuade Tong Guan to succeed him in Hedong, Shaanxi. The envoy of Xuanfu is stationed in Weizhou. What do you think of this matter?"

"If you do evil by God, you can still violate it; if you do evil by yourself, you will not live! This is the nail in Tong Guan's coffin for himself."

"Erlang's metaphor is appropriate. But is there any inside story?"

"There's an inside story! Brother Jiang Ming, you know that I have friendship with Li Zhongjie, the governor of Qinzhou and the deputy envoy who led the Qinfeng Road strategy and pacification, and guarded Nanjing City together, and pacified Tian Wenbao side by side. I can also talk to the Zhongshi Zhong, the governor of Weizhou.

The two of them wrote to me, complaining that Lieutenant Tong was in Weizhou. He summoned them every three days and forced them to jointly sign a letter to force him to withdraw from Lieutenant Tong. They must not have been able to hold on any longer, so they finally granted Lieutenant Tong's wish. "

Wang Fu nodded with a smile but not a smile, "So that's it. Tong Taiwei is also pitiful. He was involved in the Zhu Meng case after all. He should be transferred back to Beijing to explain clearly to the officials.

As a result, he refused to return the money, which made the officials a little unhappy. Now that there is this joint letter, doesn't it mean that we are relying on our own troops and taking advantage of the situation to force us? "Tong Taiwei, you are confused!" "

"The older you get, the more confused you become!" Wang Fu continued, "Now that the situation is here, my brother also has two things to do. The first is how to get Tong Guan to leave Weizhou and return to Bianjing. The second is how to appease the generals of the Western Army, Stabilize the armies along the border and prevent the Hexi family from taking advantage of them."

He stretched out his upper body towards Liu Guozhang and said meaningfully: "Erlang, please give me some advice."

"Brother Jiang Ming has already made a plan, why bother asking me."

"This matter is of great importance, so I have to ask."

"Let Tan Douzhi and I handle the two things Brother Ming said."

"Tan Duzhi, Tan Zhen?"

"Yes, he and Lieutenant Tong are from the same sect of Li Xian."

"Okay, wonderful!"

Wang Fu breathed a sigh of relief and asked Tan Zhen to go with him, so that he could convince the officials better.

Liu Erlang must be driven out of Bianjing! He is a troublemaker!

If he doesn't act like a monster and cause trouble for a day, he won't feel comfortable!

In the past, Cai Jing was in charge of the government and was in charge of the political affairs hall. Liu Erlang poked the sky down, and it was Cai Jing who was hit.

Now he is in charge of the government and in charge of the political affairs hall. The first person to be shocked when the sky falls is himself. Therefore, Liu Erlang must be allowed to find another job and go to other places to cause trouble.

After all the calculations, only Northwest was the most suitable for him.

It's just that Liu Guozhang's qualifications are still relatively young and he is afraid that he will not be able to suppress the family of generals in the Western Army. Wang Fu doesn't care about this. Whether you can suppress it or not is your business, Liu Erlang. What does Wang Jiangming care about?

The key is that there are ancestral laws that cannot grant Liu Erlang enough power.

This guy Wang Fu knows that he would rather have a chicken head than an ox tail!

Tian Wenbao's rebels were approaching Nanjing City. He couldn't get enough power, so he ran faster than anyone else without saying a word.

In order to deceive him, Cai Jing persuaded the officials to grant him enough power. He, Liu Erlang, changed at his word and killed the thieves more ruthlessly than anyone else.

Without enough power, Liu Erlang naturally did not want to go to the northwest, and would rather stay in Bianjing and cause trouble everywhere.

If Tan Zhen is allowed to follow and decentralize power to supervise the army, the officials will be willing to grant enough power, and other ministers will have nothing to say.

"Are we going to meet with the officials together?" Wang Fu saw that the matter had been discussed and was anxious to make a final decision.

"Okay, let's go together."

At this time, Zhao Ji was in Lin Lingsu's Shenxiao Temple.

A few nights ago, there were meteors flying over the western fields. Zhao Ji felt a little uneasy, so he asked Lin Lingsu, a god he trusted, to make a fortune and ask God's will.

The boy held up the ji and drew ghostly talismans on the sand table.

Lin Lingsu came forward, looked at it for a while, pretended to mutter something, then turned to Zhao Ji and said.

"Guan family, there is something terrible happening in the northwest."

Zhao Ji was shocked, "How to resolve it?"

"When a tiger enters Xiqi, every danger turns into good fortune."

Why is God's will always so ambiguous? Can't it be made clearer?

"Ma'am, can you explain it more clearly?"

No matter how clear I am, if I am too specific, wouldn’t I reveal my secret?

"Officials, God's will is unpredictable. It won't take long for the officials to realize it." Lin Lingsu continued to maintain a mysterious posture.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to return to Baozhuan Palace dejectedly, not even interested in finding anyone to come for a few laps.

"Official officials, Wang Xianggong and Liu Guohou asked to see them, saying that they were discussing important matters in the northwest."

Zhao Ji's eyelids twitched, trouble was coming!

"Oh, there is no way to avoid disaster. Let it come in."

"Yes!
