Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

The old eunuch squinted at the door and waved, and the two young eunuchs bowed and left. The figure with long hair stood there with his back hunched motionless, as if he were carved in stone and wood.

Not long after, the door creaked open. Zhao Ji opened his clothes, revealing fair skin without any sweat. He stretched out his hands to scratch his chest and said repeatedly: "Eunuch Yang, you are the best. Every time in the palace, Even when you get tired of it, coming here will feel fresh, it’s really good, it’s really good.”

"I don't want to be an old servant." The old eunuch's body was even more bent. His white hair made him look even older, but his eyes were very bright.

"That's true. If you say you're good, you're good." He walked over and patted the old eunuch's shoulder. Zhao Ji stretched out his waist and twisted his waist twice: "I feel like I can do it two more times." There was a beaming expression on his face: "I just said that I can't bear the conquest and need to take a rest, tsk tsk..." His eyes were bent with laughter, but he looked sad: "I worked too hard."

The old eunuch lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still said respectfully: "The official family is certainly very powerful."

Zhao Ji burst out laughing, his face full of joy. The old eunuch took a peek and saw that his expression was extremely comfortable. He took advantage of the situation and said: "Guan family, there is urgent military information from Qingzhou. It is said that a general has contacted Liangshan bandits for rebellion. The city of Yidu was broken, and the prefect Murong Yanda fought to the death and escaped, and now I have a memorial to present."

Zhao Ji frowned and waved his hand: "It's so disappointing."

Old eunuch Yang lowered his body again and heard the question: "Have you ever occupied the state capital?"

"My old servant doesn't know. I just thought that since the military information has not been sent over, it is assumed that the state has not been occupied and the government has been seized. Perhaps it will be looted and then retreated."

The official of the Song Dynasty bared his teeth and scratched his chin: "What's the emergency? When the military information was sent, all the people were looted. No matter how fast I am, I can't catch them back." He raised his chin and said, "Those generals are wanted. , regardless of life or death, and then send the general's information to the Privy Council, Tong Guan should not have left yet, let him mobilize troops to destroy this nest of thieves, and inform Cai Jing to cooperate with Tong Guan in allocating money and food."

"Yes."

Zhao Ji stretched his hands over his head: "Okay, let's do this for now." He turned and walked towards the house: "I will rest here tonight, Yang Jian, you go and arrange it."

"Old servant, please retire."

The door is closed.

Under the silvery moon in the sky, the old eunuch who was bowing and holding his hands behind his back turned around. A young eunuch emerged from the darkness holding a lantern to illuminate the front of him. The old voice faded away with his steps: "Tell Concubine Murong that this time It’s settled, we just need to add one more box.”

Someone bowed his head.

Soon, a document containing military information was sent to the Privy Council.

……

The next day.

Dark clouds shrouded over Tokyo, and without the scorching sun, people instantly felt energetic. Tong Guan, dressed as a martial artist and equipped with a protective three-foot sword, walked out of the door majestic and high-spirited. First, he touched the pricked hand on his chin. With his short beard, he pushed away the servant who wanted to help him, climbed on his horse, and walked towards the Privy Council first, followed closely by eighteen guards.

As they walked through the streets and through the market, pedestrians gave way and entered the Privy Council. A guard took the reins and took the horse to the manger behind to tie it up.

Tong Guan walked into his office with two guards. Before he could sit down behind the desk, a subordinate shouted from behind: "My dear, my dear, I have a military report."

One hand was raised and shaking the official document in his hand.

Tong Guan stopped and turned around, frowning with a majestic face: "Why is it so urgent?"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take the document handed over by the man, and said respectfully: "I am very kind. Last night, I received a message from Taiwei Yang indirectly, saying that Qingzhou Yidu was attacked by Liangshan bandits. The officials were furious after hearing this, and issued an order. , I want you to cooperate with the Duke to attack and destroy the rebellious bandits."

"I know the truth." Tong Guan nodded, stopped opening the official document, closed it again, took out a few pieces of silver and handed it over: "You have worked hard all night, this is what I will reward you for."

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Thank you, Prime Minister." The subordinate was overjoyed and hurriedly took it and walked out backwards.

Tong Guan and others walked out, then looked at the memorial in their hands, threw it on the table casually, and snorted: "Liangshan bandits? Aren't they just the bandits running rampant on Jingdong Road? After defeating several local soldiers, they really thought they were incompetent. People can cure it.”

A guard behind him joked: "You are a little bandit, it would be easy for your husband to kill him." "Come on, I don't have time to play with a group of bandits." Tong Guan walked to the table and sat down: "I'm going there soon. The Western Army is supervising the battle, but the Western Xia thieves over there are the real thorn in the side, and a group of thieves who don’t know how to die will have someone to deal with them."

The two guards looked at each other and said in unison: "My husband is wise."

Tong Guan narrowed his eyes, tapped the table lightly with his hand, and ordered: "Send the document and ask General Liu to come over."

"Yes."

……

"Does the official want to cooperate with Tong Daofu?"

In the hall, Cai Jing, who was drinking tea, stopped for a moment. The eunuch in front of him who was giving orders looked at his eyes and nose, and he didn't dare to talk to him. He listened to the old man in front of him muttering to himself: "A group of bandits and bandits, again. If you haven't become a king and hegemon, what ability do you have that the officials are so concerned about? Where did the officials issue an oral message yesterday?"

"When I return to the prime minister, I am at the Fan Tower."

There was a sudden realization in Cai Jing's eyes: "So, Taifu Yang is here too."

"Yes."

Cai Jing nodded and said nothing more. He thought for a moment and just said: "In this case, you go tell Tong Daofu, and the truth will be cooperated with him in mobilizing food and grass. It's just that I have two capable confidants who I want to train and let him think about it." Method."

"Yes, little one, go right here."

"Go down."

Cai Jing waved his hand, and the little eunuch walked backwards. Cai Jing looked at the people beside him and said, "Go to General Xia Jing and ask him to come over. Now is the time to promote him."

The servants took orders and left quickly.

At this time, Jing Chao entered the Palace Commander's Mansion again, but it was different from the past. He was just an associate. However, the people here also knew that he was a subordinate of Cai Jing, the prime minister, and did not instruct him. They just lived their lives every day. It’s also very monotonous, except for tapping and working hard, but I’m even more diligent than before.

When the man came, Jingchao was competing in martial arts with acquaintances on the school field. When he saw someone calling him, he quickly used a stick to push the person away, saying "Wait a moment." and quickly ran to the sidelines.

"Jingchao, the prince calls you forward." The man looked the big man up and down and said, "I say I want to praise you, but you must seize the opportunity."

"Thank you so much." Jingchao was overjoyed and quickly bowed with his hands folded in his fists. Then he took out two broken pieces of silver and handed them over: "It's a hot day and I have to go for a trip. Please drink some herbal tea to relieve the heat."

The man looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and muttered in his heart, but his hands were not slow and he took the broken silver: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." With a smile on his face: "I want to remind you, the prime minister likes it the most. Clean, don't show up in front of him all sweaty like this, go wash up and change into decent clothes before going, it's appropriate."

Jingchao took a breath and clasped his fists again to express his thanks: "Thank you very much for reminding me."

"It's done, I'll leave first, you hurry up."

"Hard work."

Jingchao smiled and walked away for two steps, then turned around, clenched his fist and shook it hard. In his ears, he heard people shouting in the distance: "Jingchao, are you coming yet?"

"What the hell!" Jingchao laughed and threw the stick away: "I'm lucky!"

After saying that, he strode away as fast as a shooting star. (End of chapter)
