Chapter 140

Because of Qing'e, Zhang Zhou did not make any contact with the "shadow" of Kyoto. But it's not inconvenient to visit Cao Yi, who is still at home!

Cao Yi has almost recovered. His spirit and look are very good.

"In more than ten days, you can go to court as a teacher! Your majesty means to let me succeed Lord Yan and do the main hall of the Ministry!"

"The student will congratulate the teacher!"

"Don't do this. I'll show you something!"

Cao Yi took down a book from the bookshelf and took out two pieces of paper in the page. It looked more secret. Zhang Zhou took it over and watched it carefully. It turned out to be a list with his name and official position on it!

Cao Yi added: "I have carefully observed these people. Some are marginalized, some offend people and are suppressed, but they all have some talents and no background. I think we can fight for them!"

Zhang Zhou nodded and looked for the impression in his memory to see if it could be compared with the list. Cao Yi continued: "there are still a group of people. I think we should also focus on it!"

"Who?"

"Those students of prime minister yuan Shang!"

"It's said that Yuan Zai's physical condition is not very good!"

"Yes, I visited once the other day. I'm afraid I'm just making a living."

"Well, I've also heard about yuan Zai. He came from a poor family. He's also an overbearing figure in the Tang Empire for a hundred years! Most of his students came from a poor family, but yuan Zai seems to have limited promotion for his students and his positions are not very high!"

"There's one thing you may not know. Yuan Zai is still one of the idols of teachers! Indeed, as you said, the highest position among his students is Tian Junqi, the right attendant of the Ministry of culture and culture. But there are not many excellent students, two of whom are quite eye-catching."

"Who?"

"Xiao Ziyi, the Minister of education of the Ministry of education, and Chen Liang, the tuntian Lang of the Ministry of household! Although they are only five grades, it is not that they are not competent enough, but that Yuan Zai is deliberately suppressing them. Maybe he wants to protect them, maybe there are other reasons! But the talents of these two people are very good!"

"Poetry, song and Fu?"

"Of course not. Being a teacher refers to the ability of these two people. They have ideas and handle affairs safely. Of course, they are not bad in poetry, songs and Fu!"

"Teacher, what do I need to do?"

"I have secretly investigated these days, and these two people are also very confused at the moment. After all, Yuan Zai's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and it will not last long. Once yuan Zai is gone, he will inevitably be excluded from these poor students. He will be retaliated against Yuan Zai's world domineering and repel his humble origins. Anyway, these people's prospects are dim. So, I think you can touch them. 。”

Zhang Zhou nodded and agreed, and then thought of one thing.

"Teacher, now my career is getting bigger and bigger, and the things I come into contact with are becoming more and more complicated. Some students are unable to do what they want. If students want to find someone like a master and a counselor, can there be someone?"

Cao Yi enters into thinking and shakes his head from time to time to decide whether someone has chosen. Zhang Zhou was not in a hurry. By the way, he thought about how to arrange the hall in the future.

Cao Yi suddenly clapped his hands and said happily, "I think of a person!"

His words pulled back Zhang Zhou's thoughts and hurriedly asked who it was. Cao Yi smiled and said, "Cai Jin, you know!"

"Of course, everyone in Kyoto's first literary world! I've seen it twice! He's also one of Zhao Qirui's teachers!"

"Yes, that's him. The man I'm talking about is his younger martial brother?"

"Younger martial brother?"

"Yes, he was once a famous literary talent, but because of his strong personality, he angered his majesty and was dismissed as an official, so he began to express his affection for the landscape and travel around!"

Zhang Zhou thought that the teacher would be wrong. Zhang Zhou didn't like this kind of crazy talent, and Cao Yi continued: "The strength of this man is that he can easily solve any problems wherever he goes. Let's put it this way. Secretly, many people invited him to be a martial master and solved many problems with his help, but finally he chose to stay away because he didn't know etiquette and his words were too extreme. Even Cai Jin was angry and cut off his friendship with him! Someone once told him I'm responsible for dealing with the right and wrong of the court. This man confronted me. Although his words were very rebellious, he was clear, sharp and wise. He even left me speechless! "

These make Zhang Zhou interested, because the talent he likes is not in writing, but in real work!

"Where is this man? Can you find him?"

"Well, he named himself Su banxing, and I sentenced him to go to Mengzhou to raise horses!"

"Mengzhou? OK, I'll send someone to find him right away!"

"This man has a strong personality and is not easy to control! But I think you can try!"

"Why?"

"No one among the literati can deal with him, but when a scholar meets a soldier, it's unreasonable! You're not a literati, and you can suppress him!"

"Ha ha, teacher, your students have no culture. You seem to have light on your face!"

"There is light, of course there is light!"

A debate is going on in Mengzhou, huyanjun's big tent!

The front was clear, and a group of Wufu dealt with a man in his forties who was dressed as a groom but had a literary and Confucian temperament. But it's definitely not a situation where scholars meet soldiers and can't explain why! It's a group of martial arts people who blushed and retreated step by step!

"We have adopted the tactics of breaking one by one in recent months, and the results have been obvious. I believe we can eliminate the sand bandits in a short time! You thought it was right at the beginning!"

He Qi said discontentedly.

The groom smiled, looked at the unwilling men in front of him and said: "Are you all finished? Then it's my turn! What you said is not wrong, but the first thing I want to say is: that was then, not now! In the past, they were scattered and fought their own battles, but in recent months, they were fools and were killed by you! Now it's obvious that they have been on guard against you. It's even more difficult and difficult to break them one by one It's easy for them to lead by the nose and circle with these crafty sand bandits in the desert. It will not only waste a lot of time and manpower, but also may suffer great losses! "

The crowd didn't speak, obviously listened to his words. A real fool can't be promoted to the position of camp officer.

The groom continued: "moreover, in recent months, the sand bandits must hate you to the bone. They should really want to retaliate against you. It can even be said that being able to defeat you is far more exciting and exciting than ordinary looting!"

Fredas questioned, "don't they dare to come and die?"

"Those sand bandits are a mass of loose sand. They can only escape when they see us. How dare they fight with us!" said another battalion official.

The successive victories these days have added a lot of self-confidence to them. They have accumulated the achievements of two or three thousand sand bandits! Even the headquarters of Hezhou have received awards!

"The sand bandits in the past can be said to be a mass of loose sand, but everything will change with the change of the environment! Sand bandits value profits and fight for their own interests! They can also unite for survival! There is no doubt about this! In addition, it doesn't matter how many times sand bandits lose, but you can't afford to lose! As long as you fail once, you may lose the whole situation! Remember, Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. You are not qualified to be proud until you completely eliminate all sand bandits! "

Huyanjun, who had been silent, stood up, went to the map, looked at it for a while and said, "what Sir said is reasonable! We are not qualified to be arrogant! Our personal life and death is small, but we must not ruin the major event of the owner!"

Everyone no longer speaks. The Lord's general's speech is a military order, which must be obeyed!

Huyanjun hugged the groom and said, "please tell me your opinion. If it is feasible, I will listen to it! After the success, I will never bury your talent and credit!"

The groom smiled disapprovingly and said, "I don't care about the credit. I really hate those sand bandits and want to eliminate them as soon as possible!"

Then the groom looked down at the map on the table and said: "Now is the season of abundant water and grass, and it is also the time when sand bandits looted the most frequently in the past! I infer that sand bandits will not choose to fight with us in the desert, because compared with us, they are more urgent in time, and the war of consumption is extremely disadvantageous to them! They should choose the strategy of successful World War I and strive to eliminate it in a short time Otherwise, we will miss the best plundering season. If so, they will starve to death in the desert in this severe winter! So they will take the initiative. It should be a sign that they often find sand bandits' horses these days. "

"You mean they're going to attack us?" huyanjun asked.

"That's the best, but we have to look for them everywhere in the province!" said the aide of fudas.

The groom shook his head and said, "your combat power is there. Strong attack will not be their choice! In that case, even if they win, they can't afford the result! If we don't go out, they won't do it!"

"Then we'll take the initiative!" He Qi said.

The groom shook his head.

"According to the situation, there are more than ten sand bandits with a certain scale, and the total number of people should be about four or five thousand! You don't have an absolute advantage. Moreover, even if you win, you can't afford it!"

"What should we do? It's not guarding, it's not fighting. Just spend it with them?"

"For them, the most perfect strategy is to destroy your camp and your foundation at one stroke. Without supplies here in Mengzhou, in a few days, no matter how tough the team will become lambs to be slaughtered. If you don't retreat in time, they will be sure to eat you lightly and easily!"

No one spoke. They all listened quietly to the groom.

"Since they need such an opportunity, we will meet them! At that time, we will be able to wipe out these sand bandits in one fell swoop by attacking inside and outside, taking advantage of your defense advantages and determination to kill the enemy bravely!"

"What should we do?" huyanjun asked.

"... if people and horses go out half way, they may ambush the outgoing team. After all, we lack the support of the camp and the number of people is at a disadvantage. Even if we are prepared, they also take the initiative in fighting! Only when more people go out, they will seriously put the target on the attack camp!"

The groom signaled several generals to gather around and start arranging tasks.

Su banxing belongs to a person who is unwilling to be lonely. Even if he is not an official, he doesn't want to waste his wisdom. He had no choice but to travel around the world, because more and more people dared not use him! He didn't resent these people, but he was sad that his talent could not be used! Good birds choose trees to live, but what can they do without good trees? He also knows that it is his own personality that makes people unhappy, but he doesn't want to change!

Others thought it was Cai Jin who broke with him, but they didn't know that he took the initiative to persuade Cai Jin! He knew that he could not change his character. It was useless to lament. He might as well make arrangements early to avoid causing greater disasters in the future and implicating his own school.

At the beginning, Cao Yi was kind and righteous to him. He avoided the important and ignored the light in sentencing and sent him here to raise horses. If he had to be charged with "having no eyes for the king and bewitching the public", his result would be very bleak.

Coming to Mengzhou and talking to horses all day may not be a protection for his "unbridled speech".

This can be said everywhere in Mengzhou. The only thing that makes him strongly dissatisfied is that the official has "nothing to do" with the sand bandits, which completely adopts shrinking defense and has no positive means to deal with it.

Just when he was helpless and upset, a group of people suddenly appeared, avoided the official and launched an offensive against the sand bandits, which surprised him. He couldn't bear the loneliness for a long time and volunteered to find huyanjun.

After a conversation, he convinced Hu Yanjun and left him as an adviser in the account. Today, when these people planned to fight in the desert again, he stood up and opposed the previous strategy, which led to the dispute!

It is unknown when the sand bandits began. Lu Ying only knew that his grandfather and father were sand bandits. Now he has inherited the largest sand bandit team in the desert for nearly five years. Although he has no fixed residence, he is also at ease.

What if Datang is strong? What if grassland people are good at riding? The brave Beiyan can't help himself! There are more than a dozen teams in the desert. Whoever sees him must not shout "eagle king"! But this kind of happy days changed a few months ago, and teams were constantly taken away and destroyed.

At first, he thought it was the officers and soldiers who took action. He also planned to stay out of the limelight on the grassland. Later, he learned that it was completely a private armed force, which made him feel despised and humiliated and intolerable! When the sand bandit group ranked second in strength was eliminated, he did not dare to underestimate the enemy!

After many inquiries, I learned that the other party had two or three thousand horses, so I gave up the idea of acting alone and began to contact the remaining teams to prepare for an unprecedented joint action. Because of their own sense of crisis and fear of the strength of the "eagle king", the remaining bandits in the desert gathered together.
