Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 532
After entering the post house, Xie Linong saw Cao Zhiyan's horse at a glance.Turning around, he said to the soldiers: "Go and ask the postman, is Cao Taiwei still in the posthouse now? If he is in the posthouse, ask where he lives, and I will visit."

The soldiers promised and turned around.

Xie Linong arrived at the residence, washed up, and changed into casual clothes.Not long after, the soldiers came back and said that Cao Zhiyan had just arrived and was resting in the guest room.Moreover, Cao Zhiyan has already sent someone to make a visit to the Chief Envoy, and Wang Xiaolie is not free during the day today, so he will go to see him tomorrow.

Not daring to neglect, Xie Linong immediately took his soldiers to visit Cao Zhiyan.

When Cao Zhiyan got the news that Xie Linong had arrived, he was already up and finished grooming.After getting the report, I hurried to the living room to meet each other.

Entering the living room, Cao Zhiyan was already waiting there.Xie Linong hurriedly said: "Brother Cao, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you all right?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "It's always been good. Taiwei Xie, we are one of us, so you don't have to be polite. Please take a seat and let's catch up on the old days."

The two sat down separately.Cao Zhiyan ordered tea to be served.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Xie Linong said, "If I'm not wrong, Cao Taiwei also came to Xiangyang Mansion because of the order of the Shu Mansion, right?"

Cao Zhiyan sighed after hearing this: "That's right. Brother, we are soldiers under Jie Shuai, and we have been following the Ruzhou uprising army. Even if we have made some contributions, how do the officials of the court know? We were suddenly promoted to be governors. I reckon it's not a good thing."

Xie Linong said: "In the border areas, many governors and envoys in the imperial court don't know what's going on at all. If there is no one, they will assign an official position to their head. It's nothing. The key is that our territory is not empty now. This official is not appointed casually."

Cao Zhiyan said: "I'm still confused. I just know it's not a good thing, so I hurried to Xiangyang. How does my elder brother think, how about teaching my younger brother? We have lived and died together for so many years, so don't hide anything from me."

Xie Linong said: "It's worthless to put it bluntly. Now the commander-in-chief governs more than a dozen states and has an army of [-]. The strength of the commander-in-chief cannot be underestimated. With more soldiers, the commander-in-chief can naturally stop the Jin army from going south, but the court is still worried. After a few months A few years ago, Jie Shuai was changed from Zhenfu envoy to Beijing Southwest Road Zhizhi envoy. Jianjie was in his twenties, which illustrates this point. Appointing the two of us as Zhenfu envoys is to divide Jieshuai's army. Falsely high The position is actually to seize soldiers, do you understand? We have followed Jieshuai for many years, so we must not be careless about this matter!"

Cao Zhiyan nodded: "So that's what it means! I thought in my heart that I was doing well under Jieshuai, and suddenly I became a pacifier. I didn't say that it was not a good thing to be restrained by Jieshuai in the future, so I hurried back."

Xie Linong said: "It's really not a good thing. Although Jie Shuai is broad-minded and informal, if we don't express our position in time, it will be difficult to say in the future. In this world, there are many things going on, we should be honest and honest as Jie Shuai's subordinates."

Cao Zhiyan nodded, also deeply agreeing.

Wang Xiaolie's army is different from other armies.It is not a strictly hierarchical class system, and matters in the army are not decided by the commanding officer, but must be agreed by several officers.Even Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan had clear rights and responsibilities in the headquarters.These two people are the governors, what about the governor, the vice governor and others?Not to mention, there are Shao Ling and Niu Gao, both of them, above the two of them.

The two discussed for a while, and both felt that they needed to see Wang Xiaolie as soon as possible to explain the matter clearly.If it drags on for a long time, Wang Xiaolie has some thoughts in his heart, and things are not good.

Just after noon, Wang Xiaolie's personal soldiers came and said that they would welcome the two of them tonight.

Xie Linong said: "Did Shuai Jie say to see us first?"

The soldier said: "No. Someone mentioned this matter, Jie Shuai said, there is nothing serious about you two, just talk about it when there is something to catch the wind."

Xie Linong said: "What Jieshuai said is true. The two of us returned to Xiangyang this time, and there is really no big deal."

Saying this in my mouth, I still feel apprehensive in my heart.He couldn't see Wang Xiaolie as soon as possible about this matter, and he couldn't let go of it after all.

Before the sun set, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan tidied up and came to the Zhizhishi Yamen.

After entering the yamen, Cui Qing led the two of them to the back yamen.Said: "Jie Shuai ordered to come down, you have worked hard on the front line, specially prepared a fat sheep tonight, as well as chicken, duck and fish meat. Sit down for a while, Jie Shuai will come over after finishing his work."

Xie Linong said: "Brother, what's the big deal, Jie Shuai is so busy? It's not a trivial matter for the two of us to go back to Xiangyang."

Cui Qing said: "The yamen originally arranged for you to come in tomorrow, but Jie Shuai knew about it and specially ordered to meet you two tonight. It is autumn now, and there are many things to prevent autumn, Jie Shuai is really busy. The two captains , you have been with Jieshuai for many years, and unlike others, Jieshuai attaches great importance to him. Just sit down, Jieshuai will come soon."

Xie Linong and Cao Zhi thanked him and let Cui Qing go about his own business.

A few soldiers nearby set up a barbecue stove and lit a fire.The mutton is cut and skewered with bamboo sticks.Barbecue is a cooking skill that has been handed down in China for thousands of years, and it is the simplest.As members of the army, many of Wang Xiaolie's subordinates like barbecue, and they enjoy eating it.

Seeing the soldiers busy on the side, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan were bored and chatted on the side.

After waiting for half an hour, Wang Xiaolie came over with Li Yanxian and Wang Ruohai.

Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan hurriedly got up, stepped forward and saluted the three of them.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Sit down, don't be restrained. I heard that the two of you have entered the city, and I specially ordered you to meet the wind tonight. There are too many people, and many things have been established. I don't even know. If I didn't hear it by chance, We can only wait until tomorrow to find out that you have returned to Xiangyang."

Wang Ruohai said: "Jie Shuai has a [-] army, what if there are no rules?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Although that's what I said, Xie Linong and Cao Zhiyan were my earliest team members. After all, I have traveled a lot and fought many battles. They should be different from others. Forget it, they will work together in the future. When you enter the city, please report to me in time."

When everyone was seated, Wang Xiaolie said, "It's not just you, Shao Ling and Niu Gao also entered the city today, and they'll be there in a while. If you have anything to say, let's get together and talk about it. Only by speaking clearly can everyone feel at ease when doing things."

Xie Linong said: "What Jieshuai said is true. If we don't understand clearly, we will inevitably be worried outside."

Wang Xiaolie said: "There's no need to worry about it. I'm not that small-minded. As long as you don't make a big mistake, you don't have to worry about it."

Xie Linong said: "Jie Shuai, we naturally dare not make mistakes, but we can't stand up to others to provoke dissension. We are not in front of Jie Shuai, and many things are unclear at the moment, how can we not worry?"

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "If you say that, you just don't believe me? You are my generals, and it is impossible to kill you with a few words. When leading troops outside, you must not think about messy things, just lead your soldiers with peace of mind. "
