book of troubled times

Chapter 513

Di Muzhi seemed to have timed it right, the camp here had just been set up, and he arrived on time.

The soldiers started to make a fire and cook food. One of Zhai Mu wore a Confucian shirt and sat in the commander's tent to drink.There was a bonfire burning in the tent, and some guards were grilling meat, and two maids stood around, refilling wine for Zhai Muzhi.The generals around were laughing and laughing, having their own fun.

His long history, Xie Ruhai, was by his side, and there was another scribe he didn't know, who took the position of host and guest.

Zhao Changhe stepped into the handsome tent, his eyes rolled around, his face expressionless.

When it comes to war, are you holding a bonfire party?
"I don't know what is the secret envoy of the Zhenma Division's Jade Card. It turns out to be Zhao Changhe." Zhai Muzhi laughed: "Sit, sit, sit, haven't eaten yet, let's have something together?"

Zhao Changhe sat in the next guest seat with no expression on his face: "Prefect Zhai knows Zhao?"

"Hey, Blood Asura Zhao Changhe is famous all over the world, who doesn't know it? It's no secret that Zhao Shaoxia has a close relationship with Tang Shouzuo. Isn't it normal that the secret envoy is Zhao Shaoxia?" Zhai Muzhi enthusiastically pulled the guest seat The scribe: "Introduce to Zhao Shaoxia, this is the imperial envoy Lu Shouyi, who was born in Fanyang!"

Lu Shouyi also knew that this guy's identity was a little sensitive, so he stood up and cupped his hands with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhao's name is like thunder, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Zhao Changhe bowed his hands to Lu Shouyi perfunctorily, and thought to himself that he just recognized me as the Wang Daozhong from before...

In the end, Zhai Muzhi really said: "Does Zhao Shaoxia know that Wang Daozhong came here a few days ago..."

Zhao Changhe was startled: "A few days ago?"

Isn't it more than a month ago?And why did you mention Wang Daozhong for no reason...

But he listened to Zhai Muzhi's words: "Wang Daozhong did not know what was injured. He was being chased and killed by the leader of the Blood God Sect, Xue, and he entered Bashu to seek help from Zhai. Zhai heard that during the Battle of Xiangyang, the Blood God Sect had been recruited." Now, you are standing on the side of the court, right, it should be the bridge built by Zhao Shaoxia?"

Zhao Changhe was even more amazed. Nima, Old Xue would be able to catch up with the leaderboard one day. He's promising... By the way, how did Wang Daozhong get hurt?

"The Blood God Sect has indeed been recruited, what happened next?"

Zhai Muzhi said: "Since the Blood God Sect has been recruited, and the Wang family's rebellion has been revealed, and Wang Daozhong even just escaped from prison, then the court is arresting the rebels... How could Zhai help Wang Daozhong? Strange, Zhai will not directly offend the Wang family, but just avoids seeing him. Wang Daozhong has no choice but to pursue Xue Canghai behind him, so he has to take the road to the south, fearing that he is going to hide in Miaojiang... Zhao Shaoxia didn't meet him when he went north ?”

"There are so many roads, how can it be possible to meet when you meet it." Zhao Changhe responded casually, feeling quite strange in his heart.

I wonder if Zhai Muzhi guessed that it was him who was the king last time...but it doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Relating to Shi Wuding's move to capture Wang Daozhong before, there is a high probability that it was ordered by Zhai Muzhi.It can be seen that Zhai Mu's attitude is consistent before and after. He seems to be on the side of the court to deal with the king... Looking at it this way, this guy is actually the most courteous among the princes I have seen in the past two years, Cui Wenjing and Yang Jingxiu I'm afraid they are not as "loyal" as him.

Perhaps the bad thing is that people who really regard themselves as Daxia officials are such people.

While talking, a maid came to refill the wine.Zhao Changhe lowered his eyes to see the maid refilling the wine, and said calmly: "Don't blame Zhao for speaking bluntly, the eunuch's behavior...is quite against the military regulations."

"Do you not accept the orders of the generals abroad? I am the commander in chief, so the military discipline and military regulations are not determined by me?" Zhai Muzhi smiled boldly: "Master Lu has no objection."

Lu Shouyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The soldiers have worked hard on the expedition, and when it's time to relax, they should also relax."

Zhao Changhe twitched his cheeks. After hearing what you said, the thin-faced and thin soldiers who were eating sour dry food wondered if they would want to piss you off.He asked blankly: "Strict military discipline is not for the sake of looking good... Has the prefect ever thought about what if he can't beat him?"

Di Muzhi and Lu Shouyi looked at each other, and asked, "Young Xia Zhao came here with a jade card, but you have something to say about the Miao Army?"

Zhao Changhe said: "Lei Zhentang has already completed the alliance of various ethnic groups. Just around the Erhai Lake, the total strength of each ethnic group is [-] to [-], and the entire Miao territory cannot be counted. In addition, the terrain is complicated, poisonous miasma is everywhere, and witchcraft is weird. This is going deep into the enemy's territory and even the supplies can't keep up...Zhao believes that he can't fight if he leads his own troops. I don't know where the prefect Zhai is confident."

Zhai Muzhi lowered his voice: "According to what Zhao Shaoxia saw, will they fight?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "The possibility of fighting out is not high. It is difficult for us to enter, and it is also difficult for them to exit, not to mention that they will lose their geographical advantage after they come out."

Zhai Muzhi clapped his hands and said, "That's right. According to the news reported by Miaojiang Zhenmeng, they didn't even agree, and they set up a five-clan union, and there was probably a hidden danger of mutual hegemony... In this way, fighting It's less likely to come out."

Zhao Changhe secretly thought that this should be the situation reported by Li Si'an, no matter how much this guy helps Taoyuan Town, he is the general of Zhenmagic Department in his job, so there is nothing wrong with him.At any rate, it didn't say that he, Zhao Changhe, made it happen...

Zhai Muzhi moved forward a little, and lowered his voice: "Since they can't fight out, why do we have to fight in? This is not something we can do with a single force in Shu County. We just need to defend the territory." It is a great achievement, in order to put down the Miao chaos in the future, there will be a general from the imperial court..."

Zhao Changhe's heart skipped a beat, and he finally understood the logic of this guy.

Obviously Miao Jiang could be regarded as being exploited by him to force rebellion, but Lan Tiankuo and other consolation envoys have long since died without proof. What is the use of the slogans spoken by the rebels Lei Zhentang and others? It can be regarded as just an excuse for rebellion and cannot be shaken at all. Zhai Muzhi.It was mentioned in Li Si'an's report that everyone in the court had to talk about it. After all, the so-called exploitation, Lei Zhentang and other leaders themselves were no lighter than Zhai Muzhi, so it is difficult to determine the factors.

It's not that there is no one in the court, so Fan Yanglu just sits by the side and drinks, he is still an imperial envoy.Most of them are shouldering the mission of investigating the whole story, but this investigation is obviously already colluding.

If Xia Longyuan was in charge, he would definitely not be able to fool around, but Xia Longyuan really didn't care.It is almost foreseeable that Zhai Muzhi will not have many censures in the court, and if there are any, it is easy to settle.Even Tang Wanzhuang's impeachment is useless. It is not easy to tell people about Zhenmagic's supervisory power. On the surface, Zhenmagic does not have this power.

In other words, Zhai Muzhi could be regarded as a disaster, but it was all covered up, and the opponent couldn't fight it out. Instead, he had the "merit of defending the land" and was promoted to the rank of official.

The Miao people didn't fight it out, so where did the gong come from?It is enough to punch a few Miao people's hairstyles on the heads of the Xia villagers who were killed outside... Isn't this the proof that the Miao people were beaten out and repelled.

Zhai Muzhi really didn't want to rebel, he was really a "loyal" Daxia bureaucrat.

It's just that this kind of bureaucracy... can create countless rebels.

Zhao Changhe came to see that the puzzle that Zhai Muzhi wanted to solve was solved in just a few words. There was really no conspiracy, nor was it any kind of cooperation with Lei Zhentang... Zhai Muzhi was even quite open, as if he felt that this It's something that everyone takes for granted.

I have already helped you deal with Wang Daozhong, I am a loyal minister, and I hold my position firmly.

But Zhao Changhe's anger was even worse, and the hand holding the wine glass was a little veiny.

Lao Tzu did all the tricks in the Miaojiang authorities, facilitated the alliance of the five ethnic groups, and took in countless Xia people. Is it for you to do this kind of thing?

What if there is no me?Do you care if all the Xia people in Miaojiang were slaughtered!
Zhai Muzhi looked at his words and saw that his expression was not right, so he said in a low voice: "Of course this skill should be attributed to Zhao Shaoxia... Besides, I heard that Zhao Shaoxia has been troubled by meridian problems, we have some supplements here, which may be beneficial..."

You can't turn your face at this moment, there is still one last problem to be solved.

Zhao Changhe suppressed his anger, and said slowly: "Then thank the eunuch for taking care of me. But Zhao still has something to ask."

Zhai Muzhi seemed relieved and said with a smile, "Shaoxia Zhao, please tell me."

"How much does Prefect Zhai know about the Bashan Sword House?"

Zhai Muzhi shook his head: "Jianlu has always been a well-known family in Bashu, and has a lot of contacts with various families. Zhai doesn't know why they insist on moving to Miaojiang. Speaking of this, Zhai is a little curious, how did the suzerain offend the young master?" Xia, was killed by the joint efforts of Shaoxia and Yue Nvxia? It stands to reason that the sword house should be the right path..."

Zhao Changhe watched his eyes, and slowly said: "Actually, Shi Wuding was not killed by us, or we just picked up the omissions and killed Shi Wuding who was seriously injured. Otherwise, how could it be possible for me and Hongling to kill the sixth place on the list?" ?”

Zhai Muzhi smiled and said, "It's already very powerful... I don't know who seriously injured Sect Master Shi first?"

Zhao Changhe said word by word: "Sixth on the Tianbang list, listen to Xuexiao, the master of the snow, does the eunuch know anything about it?"

Zhai Muzhi froze for a moment, seemed a little unbelievable, and then waved his hands and laughed: "No one in the world knows the sixth landlord of Tingxue? But Zhai doesn't have the chance to meet such a person..."

Zhao Changhe had a clear understanding in his heart, Zhai Muzhi must have seen Xue Xiao, and even knew that Xue Xiao could not be killed indefinitely!
He was about to say something when he suddenly felt an earthquake-like illusion coming from a distance.

Di Muzhi obviously also noticed it, and stood up suddenly, showing that his cultivation level was comparable to Zhao Changhe's, even slightly stronger.

Sure enough, it was already a double secret treasure.

Immediately someone entered the account and reported: "Prefect, it's not good, thousands of soldiers rushed towards our camp!"

"Thousands? There are more than [-] of us here, are you looking for death?" Zhai Muzhi asked in surprise, "Could it be that the Miao people attacked? Why did they come to the east?"

"Not Miao people!" Another soldier rushed in: "I saw their handsome flag, and there is a word 'Li' written on it."

Zhai Muzhi's expression changed greatly: "Li Shentong!"
