When the news of the victory of Haoya River and Renduo Baozhong's surrender to the Song Dynasty reached Tongchuan Fort where Taoxi Shuaisi was located, Zhong Fu, Wang Hou and Wu Haowen were arguing in the festival hall of Shuaisi.

Oh, to be precise, the young and energetic Wu Haowen quarreled with Xining and the deputy envoy Zhong Fu, the two leaders of Jingyuan, to comfort the deputy envoy!

Wang Hou was just in a dilemma. He couldn't believe that a candidate who was not even a Beijing official would dare to quarrel with the two deputy generals. Zhong Fu is a sixth-rank civil servant, a dignified courtier, and a confidant of Xianggong Cai!

Han Zhongyan, the backstage of Wu Haowen, had already fallen to the Daming Mansion. How dare he quarrel with a senior official like Zhong Fu? Could it be that the right prime minister Su Dongpo supported him? It seems that Su Dongpo could not break the rules of the officialdom for the sake of a person, right?

The rule in the officialdom is that civil officials compete with military officials and oxen, and they are also civil officials. They are more than one level older than others. Besides, Zhong Fu is more than one level older than one level older!

Moreover, Zhong Fu's request was not too much... He just didn't believe in the beheadings of the knights in front of the palace and the dragon heroes, and wanted to reduce the number of alive prisoners by half.

This kind of decapitation that many people who have received merit in the Northwest Army may not necessarily be cut off, but is often discussed by superiors and subordinates.

The subordinates report 1,000, and the superiors give you a 500% discount. It’s not an exaggeration... How can Wu Haowen say so much? It’s true that the beheaded and captives of nearly 40,000 yuan are all true! One less person is willing to wait for the sin to listen to the audience.

Isn’t this not giving Mr. Zhong a face? You can’t be an official like this…

"No, absolutely not!" Wu Haowen's head was shaking like a wave drum. "The number of the beheadings of the knights in front of the palace and the dragon heroes will never be fake. Because of their beheadings, the captives can be changed to the houses of Kaifeng Mansion! Therefore, Taiwei Gao and Taiwei Wang will definitely verify them strictly and will not allow them to falsely report and falsely."

Wu Haowen is really right. Gao Qiu and Taiwei Gao are really serious about counting the heads, issuing the deeds, and making white slips... He is an official who is just to flatter the emperor, but at the same time he can still distinguish the priorities. Now that Zhao Ji is determined to make achievements, Gao Qiu has to count the heads carefully. This is not difficult. If he wants to mess up, the official's favor may be gone.

As for making money and drinking blood from soldiers, Taiwei Gao still cares about these two small amounts of money. He followed Wu Haogu to join the Republic and Jiehe Market, and his net worth was more than one million yuan.

According to the logic of the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was already virtuous and unworthy of wealth, so how much money could he make! His money was at the level of a priest, and the official was an envoy. Moreover, he was not like Wu Haogu who was an official based on his ability to make money, and led the officials and nobles to get rich together.

Therefore, Gao Qiu, who is well versed in the unspoken rules of the officialdom, has long stopped making money. He has to save money and get promoted quickly! If he can make a successful career, the wealth can be passed on to his descendants safely.

"No?" Zhong Fu's face was already quite ugly. He was a two-way deputy commander, and he had been in the Northwest Army for many years. He was an old minister who assisted Li Xian and Zhang Feng.

Now that Wu Haowen is criticized like this, the younger generation, who has not even grown hair on his mouth, can he not get angry?

"No!" Wu Haowen shook his head repeatedly, "The subordinate officials can guarantee the Grand Marshal Gao and Grand Marshal Wang."

Zhong Fu snorted: "You guarantee? If you choose someone, what qualifications do you have to guarantee?"

Wu Haowen was criticized by him and didn't know how to respond. In fact, he has this qualification because Zhao Xiaoyi and Feng Erniang have established a not-so-pure friendship...

Wang Hou didn't know the special background of Wu Haowen, but he knew that Zhong Fu was powerful. The last time he was developing Hehuang, Zhong Fu was engaged in the business affairs of Xihe, Jingyuan and Qinfeng, and was his immediate superior.

With this qualification alone, Wang Hou had to help him speak. However, Wang Hou had also stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture and knew that the Wu brothers were all favorite ministers of the official family. Moreover, Wu Haowen's brother Wu Haogu was also a favorite disciple of the right prime minister Su Dongpo. Although Su Dongpo could not deal with Cai Jing's confidant Zhong Fu, it was not a trivial matter to punish him, the Taoxi appeasement of Wu Zi, the Wu Zi.

Wang Hou really envied his opponent Wei Ming Ge. Brother Cha only needs to think about how to deal with the enemy, and there is no need to consider the hidden arrows and various blind commands shot from Xingqing Mansion.

The military officers of the Song Dynasty had to fight against the enemy while dealing with endless political struggles, endure bullying from civil servants, and be tormented by officials or civil servants who knew nothing about it...

Faced with the quarrel between the two civil servants who were very tough in the backstage, Wang Hou was really embarrassed and had to speak up and smooth things over: "Why not do this? Don't report the beheading for the time being, and live captives. How about reporting it after Zhong Envoy sent someone to investigate?"

Zhong Fu was about to nod and agreed, but Wu Haowen said, "Beheading, the number of alive prisoners has been reported to the official family."

"Has reported it?" Wang Hou was stunned.

"It's a secret text!" Wu Haowen's answer surprised both Zhong Fu and Wang Hou. "The knights in front of the palace and the dragon-Yulong soldiers are the emperor's personal soldiers. Every move must be reported to the heaven in time. Therefore, Xiaguan and Taiwei Gao had already reported it through the journey.

Moreover, Taiwei Gao has already distributed 400 deeds, and the insufficient part has even written an IOU. Do you think we can still take back those deeds?"

"Why can't it be? If there is any false reporting, you should take back the reward and be punished seriously!"

Zhong Fu was already a little angry by Wu Haowen. He was a deputy general in both ways, but he was contradicted by a person who was selected to face him. If Wu Haowen was a military officer, he would have ordered people to be taken and military law. But Wu Haowen was a civil servant who was born in a Jinshi, and he was also a Jinshi civil servant with a backstage...

Wu Haowen, who had a backstage, didn't buy his account at all. He retorted at the time: "Does the Prime Minister want to destroy the emperor's elite army? The knights in front of the palace and the dragon warriors in the palace have been fighting all the way to Wachuzhai, Lumapo, Longzhuheicheng, Mazongshan, and Zonggechuan. They are still fighting hard with the Western thieves in Haoya River, and they are about to win again. They are almost unsuccessful and will never win! Moreover, the Taoxi Supervisor has not given a reward of one penny and one foot of silk. The soldiers used their lives so much to get the real estate in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Now that the battle is about to end, but you are dismissed. Are you reasonable? Are you not afraid of disrupting the morale of the knights in front of the palace and the dragon warriors? Are you not afraid of ruining the plan of the government to attack the Western thieves?"

This is a bit heartbroken! Wu Haowen is actually using mutiny to threaten Zhong Fu. Mutiny is not uncommon in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. However, mutiny is all the troops stationed in the local area, and there is no mutiny from the Kaifeng Imperial Army, and there is no precedent for mutiny from the front army in the Palace.

After all, the military pay in front of the palace is generous, and can get generous rewards from the officials from time to time. They rarely go to the front line. They are completely happy soldiers. How can they change their lives? Do you really think that they are the fangs of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms?

Moreover, Zhong Fu also knows how good the knights in front of the palace and the Dragon King's Warriors are. The knights have 1,500 acres of land and a lot of additional rewards. The Dragon King's Warriors have four times the income of the Imperial Army. How could such soldiers mutiny?

So Wu Haowen's threat was ineffective at all. Zhong Fu just sneered: "I have been ordered by the Lord Lu to strictly investigate false reports and make contributions! Let's see, who dares to disrupt the morale of the army?"

His words also contain murderous intent! It is one thing for military soldiers to cause trouble, and it is another thing for some to disturb the morale of the army and incite mutiny.

This is the elite of the front army in the palace! If someone incites to mutiny, no matter whether it is right or not, the government will not tolerate this army.

After all, it doesn’t matter whether the front army can fight, but whether it is good or not is the most important thing.

And the elite troops in front of the palace who cut people's heads in front of him can't be described as "behaved"...

Just as Wu Haowen and Zhong Fu were quarreling endlessly, a staff member of Wang Hou brought the good news of the victory of Hao Yahe and Ren Duo Baozhong's surrender.

"Beheading 14,800 heads, and captives of 8,211, of which were 3,856 heads of the Western thief, and captives of 3,051. The thief chief Ren Duo Baozhong surrendered! A great victory, an unprecedented victory!"

Wu Haowen took the battle report and looked at it, then shouted loudly: "Zhong Zhixiong, the knights and the dragon-hard soldiers in front of this battle have made their first contribution!"

Is it the first achievement? Zhong Fuxin said: The first achievement is obviously Zhang Shuye. If he hadn't designed to surrender Renduo Baozhong, there would be a chance to fight the battle of Haoyahe!

However, Zhong Fu did not say this to Wu Haowenming, but turned his head to Wang Hou and said, "It's better for us to set off to the ancient bone dragon city immediately and meet Ren Duo Baozhong, the thief chief."

Of course, his purpose in going to Gugu Long City was not only to meet Renduo Baozhong, but also to go to count the heads of the Northern Song army. The Northern Song army did not pay special attention to "first achievements", and in fact, it was not too much cut. Therefore, the troops below would not keep those smelly heads for too long. Generally speaking, they would be dug and buried by the superior Fushi officials after inspection. As for the alive prisoners, they would not be caught and sold, and they would be detained for a period of time at most.

Therefore, Zhong Fu wanted to go to test Huangzhou one by one. It was impossible for the head and the captives on the battlefield of Shanzhou. He could only talk to Wu Haowen, which was a bit of a loss. However, the head and captives on the battlefield of Haoyaohe were still there, so he was just right to test them.

In addition, Zhong Fu also wanted to take the opportunity to intervene in the war between Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan. Wang Hou was the Taoxi governor, and Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan were north of the Yellow River and were not under the jurisdiction of Taoxi Commander.

Therefore, a new Strategic Pacification Envoy will be established. Zhong Fu is now the deputy sanction of the two routes and is fully qualified to serve as the Strategic Pacification Envoy of the New Strategic Pacification Envoy.

Moreover, in the battlefield north of Lanzhou, except for him, the two deputy envoys, who else is qualified to lead the attack on Zhuoluo City and Qin Wangchuan? In fact, he asked himself to go to Taoxi Fushi to investigate and behead him. The number of alive prisoners was the first to bring the veteran Zong Shiji, so he had the intention of making achievements.

Wang Hou, Gao Yongnian and Tong Guan were both officials of Taoxi Fushi. How could they cross the line to command the war north of the Yellow River? Zhang Shuye, the magistrate of Lanzhou, was qualified, but his official position was too small and he had no experience in commanding the war.
