Horse on the World

Chapter 375
It was mid-August when Zhong Jing secretly arrived in Qinzhou. At this time, the battle situation in Qinzhou had changed again. Under Hu Zequan's pressing step by step, Tian Feng finally failed to hold Chengfeng City. Hu Zequan boldly Adopting leapfrog tactics, Chengfeng City was let alone and did not attack. Instead, it knocked down two county towns in a row behind Chengfeng City, and completely isolated Chengfeng City. Under such circumstances, Tian Feng finally Unable to hold on, he gave up Chengfeng City and led his army back to Qinzhou by detour.Hu Zequan seemed to have a tacit understanding with him. During the process of Tian Feng's retreat, although he led the army for hundreds of miles, he never launched an attack, which made Tian Feng retreat back to Qinzhou City.

Tian Feng's retreat caused waves in the city of Qinzhou. Chengfeng was not lost, and Qinzhou could be said to be equally divided between the Xiao family and the Southern Army. But if Chengfeng was lost, most of Qinzhou would fall into the southern In the hands of the army, it can be said that Xiao Haoran has lost the upper hand in Qinzhou. Although Xiao Yuanshan himself is proficient in military affairs, he has no objection to Tian Feng's move. He can bring back more than 1 officers and soldiers of the Zuo Daying Battalion safely. It is true that there are merits and deeds, but they are helpless to talk about gold. The officials in Qinzhou are very angry at Tian Feng's abandonment of Chengfeng without a fight. In addition, Hu Zequan's confrontation with him is a series of abnormal performances, which makes everyone even more suspicious of Tian Feng. Wake up, and with Xiao Tianci contributing to the flames, after a long time, even he became a little suspicious, and arranged for Tian Feng to rest for a period of time under the pretext of being tired, but indirectly deprived him of his military power and left him idle up.

Tian Feng was bitter and depressed, he was trapped in a small courtyard with his nephew, he didn't even bring the guards, he just sent a close aide to Luoyang to express his grievances to Xiao Haoran with his own letter.

Zhong Jing's senior brother, Han Renjie, was originally a thief who took advantage of the land to distribute the spoils. He had made a lot of money over the years, so he bought a house and land in Qinzhou, invested in business, and his family business became more and more prosperous. In the eyes of Qinzhou people, setting up a shed to give porridge is a first-class kind person, but they don't know that behind Han Dashan's smiling face is a bloody steel knife.

Han Renjie knows his own family affairs, and he also knows in his heart that this kind of blood-licking business is not a long-term solution. There are many mountains and he will eventually meet a tiger. However, a large number of brothers under his command can't be separated just by saying goodbye. When there is nothing to do, Zhong Jing descends from the sky like an angel, which makes Han Renjie very happy.

When Zhong Jing found Han Renjie, he was already the captain of the Dingzhou Statistics Department and the bodyguard of the famous white fox Qingfeng. Qingfeng's name was naturally very popular for Han Renjie and other well-informed people. The old Han Renjie was overjoyed and climbed up this big tree. His previous criminal records are nothing!In the mouths of these big shots, it is just a matter of one sentence, as long as they seize this opportunity, their bloody family property will be completely wiped out.

The two sides hit it off perfectly, and the Statistics and Investigation Department needed to take root in Qinzhou. A well-known squire like Han Renjie was the best choice, and he was not only related to Zhong Jing, but also in the hands of a small braid. However, it is the easiest to control. In the past two or three years, the Statistics and Investigation Department has continuously sent people to Han Renjie's side. The original group of bandits has been trained and eliminated. Originally, a sum of pensions was issued to let them fend for themselves, but these people disappeared without a sound, and there was no more news. Han Renjie breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time his heart was trembling. It's really extremely ruthless.

But when Zhong Jing appeared in front of him again, she was already a general, but Han Renjie was overjoyed. That little yellow-haired girl who was in the division back then had become his now. As a lucky star, the higher Zhong Jing's status in Dingzhou, the more stable he will be.

Arranged Zhong Jing and a few special agents accompanying her to her own compound, came to the study with Zhong Jing, and after talking about parting, Han Renjie, who knew Zhong Jing's recent situation, complained: "Little sister, Why didn’t you notify senior brother of such a big event as your marriage, no matter what, I should have prepared a generous gift to congratulate him, and besides, my brother-in-law is a capable general and a great hero by Marshal Li’s side, and I just want to make friends Woolen cloth!"

Zhong Jing was very clear about the meaning of senior brother, and said with a smile: "Even if senior brother knows about the war in the Central Plains, it is not easy to get over it, not to mention that you are a hidden chess piece that young lady attaches great importance to, how can you agree?" Asking you to reveal your relationship with Dingzhou for these trivial matters? As long as you know Tang Hu, it couldn't be easier, and when the overall situation is settled, he will naturally come to see you."

Han Renjie was very excited. Junior sister herself is not only a general officially appointed by the imperial court, but her brother-in-law is even more extraordinary. It doesn't matter if he is old to be sent there, the key is that his son will have a bright future in the future.

Han Yong is the only son of Han Renjie. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is very brave. He followed his father to do business without money when he was a teenager. He is very courageous, but he is about the same age as Zhong Jing. Called in, "Ah Yong, this is the uncle I often mention to you, now you are a dignified general, you will work with the uncle in the future, you must do your best, with the support of the uncle, you will get twice the result with half the effort and have a bright future Yes." As he said, he asked his son to pay homage to Zhong Jing.

Han Yong was a little embarrassed. This uncle was about the same age as him, and she was also a woman. At first glance, she seemed to be a lot younger than him. She walked up to Zhong Jing embarrassedly, bent over and said : "My nephew has met my uncle!"

"That's all!" Zhong Jing looked at Han Yong. The last time he came and went in a hurry, and Han Yong went out to do business again, but he didn't see him. Seeing him standing in front of her now, he is extremely majestic, with a heroic look on his face. With a little bit of tempering, she might become a good general who can charge into the battle. She knows the martial arts methods of her own master, and she just glanced at Han Yong to know that his kung fu is very good.

"My nephew's kung fu practice is good, I'm afraid it's [-]% to [-]%!" Zhong Jing said with a smile: "Do you have a wish to develop in the Dingzhou army? If so, I can recommend it for you. Turning to look at Han Renjie, he said: "My nephew looks like a general. I feel a little wronged to follow us. If my brother agrees, I can arrange it, but it's more dangerous to serve in the army." , but the fame is also dignified, and the promotion is also fast."

Both Han Renjie and Han Yong were overjoyed. Although the Department of Statistics and Investigation has a great reputation, it cannot be revealed. Like Han Renjie, although he now has the title and uniform of a captain, he can only wear it in the dead of night. I admired it and experienced the feeling of turning from a bandit to an official, but usually it is deeply hidden and cannot be revealed. As for the dangers in the army that Zhong Jing said, for his father and son, he is used to the life of licking blood with knives. people, and where to put it in the eyes.

"Thank you, Junior Sister!" Han Renjie laughed.

"Thank you, Master Uncle!" Han Yong bowed to Zhong Jing willingly this time. He wanted to go to the army, but he didn't want to start as a soldier. With the arrangement of this Master Uncle, he must at least be able to Get a school captain Dangdang.

Zhong Jing smiled and waved her hands again and again, thinking that as long as this senior nephew goes to the Dingzhou army, the elder brother will be more determined to serve Dingzhou. In a few years, the Dingzhou army will not set foot in the Central Plains. This chess piece is very important to Dingzhou.

"When this matter is over, I will take you to Dingzhou." Zhong Jing said.

"By the way, junior sister, you must have important things to do when you come this time, but I don't know what you can use senior brother for?" After talking about the family affairs, Han Renjie turned the conversation back to business matters.

"There is indeed a major event!" Zhong Jing said: "I am here mainly to stir up civil strife in the Xiao family."

Han Renjie was startled, "Didn't Marshal Li form an alliance with Xiao Shi? Why do you want to call Xiao Shi's attention?"

Zhong Jing straightened her face and said: "Senior brother, these things are beyond your comprehension, and you don't need to know. You just need to follow Dingzhou's instructions. Senior brother, my little sister wants to advise you. In the Statistics and Investigation Department, we only obey without questioning, we will do what the higher-ups tell us, otherwise, once the lady gets annoyed, life will be difficult! The senior brother has never received serious training in the Statistics and Investigation Department, and some rules are not correct. I understand, but you must remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, and don’t inquire about things that have nothing to do with you, but don’t ask.”

Although he was quite old, he was taught a lesson unceremoniously by Zhong Jing, who was dozens of years younger than him. Han Renjie was indeed a little uncomfortable, but where is Zhong Jing's status? As his backer, Han Renjie still put on an air of admiration, and said, "Young junior sister is right, I remember."

Zhong Jing said: "Elder brother, you and I are friends of the same family, so my younger sister will say a few more words. The officialdom is not like the Jianghu. When my younger sister first entered the Statistics and Investigation Department, she was very unaccustomed to it, but after a few years, she deeply understands. Comparing the officialdom to the rivers and lakes, it is extremely dangerous, if you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces, don't look at the young girl who is so beautiful on the surface and responds to everyone, but in fact she is walking on thin ice, be careful every step of the way!"

Han Renjie nodded again and again. He has never eaten pork, and he has never seen a pig run. As the saying goes, killing the magistrate and exterminating the family order Yin is different from walking in the rivers and lakes. These people only need to move their mouths. It is necessary to sacrifice one's life to change one's life. It can be seen that the world is far from being able to compare with the officialdom.

"One of the most important tasks of my visit to Qinzhou this time is to target Tian Feng." Zhong Jing said. "Senior brother, you are a local snake, but you can use your relationship quietly. It is rumored that Tian Feng and Hu Zequan colluded with each other, first killed General Xiao, and then gave up Cheng Feng, so that the Southern Army won Qinzhou strategically. advantage. In a word, it is to convince the people of Qinzhou that Tian Feng may have taken refuge in King Ning in private."

"Xiao Yuanshan is not a fool, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win his trust!" Han Renjie said.

Zhong Jing said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not. The rumors are so rich, the rumors are terrible, as long as others believe it, and Xiao Yuanshan's talent is far better than that of Xiao Haoran, as long as he has doubts and fears." That's enough, let's stir up troubles with Little General Xiao and let them fight among themselves, then there will be a good show!"

Han Renjie smiled and said: "This is simple, I will arrange to do it right away."

"Although it's a trivial matter, we must be careful, don't show the tails of our hands, and wipe ourselves clean!"
