Most people present did not know about Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu. They had always thought that Wang Xuan's parents were dead and that she and Wang Zhen were dependent on each other. However, they did not expect that at this time, not only did the news of Wang Fan's life come, but also that
Also came to Lanzhou.
Of course, in addition to being happy for Wang Zhen and Wang Xuan's grandparents, Su Laochang also noticed a key piece of information, that is, Wang Fan came to Lanzhou to serve under an order.
Although Su Laochang's family was said to have fallen into decline, he was from an official family after all. He also aspired to take the imperial examination when he was young, and he was quite familiar with the stories of the dynasty.
The king's previous remonstrance to prevent the attack on Yan angered the current emperor, who demoted first Tangzhou and then Lanzhou for disrespect. Ordinary people may not know what it is, but Su Laochang knew very well in his heart that as long as the master headed by Cai Qing
As long as the war faction does not lose power, it is almost impossible for Wang Zhen to make a comeback and return to the center.
However, who could have imagined that there would be such changes as today?
Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu was sent to Bianjing for six years, and there was no news during this period. It must have been an accident on the way. And he was able to arrive in Bianjing with Chi Hu's secret envoy two months ago, which shows that Wang Fan went through a lot of hard work.
After all the hardships, he finally arrived at Chi Huren's royal tent and completed the mission of secret envoy Chi Hu.
Even though Wang Fan only arrived at the royal court of Chihu after the two sides had decided to join forces to attack Yan, and it seemed that he had no actual achievements, he had gone through numerous hardships, and could even be said to have gone through many disasters.
No one can deny this hard work.
Even in Dai Viet, a country based on Confucian loyalty and filial piety, this is obviously very precious.
People's emotions are often interconnected.
When Wang Zhen initially admonished the allied troops to attack Yan, he was also worried about the disaster of losing his lips and teeth. He even recommended his eldest son, Wang Fan, as secret envoy Chi Hu, regardless of the danger, to find out the true identity of Chi Hu. After going through such hardships and disasters, he was able to return.
Bianjing.
Not to mention Cai Zheng and other warring court officials, even if the current emperor still holds a grudge against Wang Zhen for some of the less polite words he said when he was trying to stop him, he will not be able to escape a foolish and harsh evaluation.
Su Laochang felt that at this time it was no longer a question of whether Wang Zhen could resurrect, but when he would resurrect and to what position he would resurrect.
Su Laochang looked at Wang Zhen. Besides Wang Kong, Lu Xiong was accompanied by a man with a stern face and a thin body. He was an unfamiliar face. He guessed that he was the person sent by Wang Fan to report the news to the quarry.
At this moment, it was not convenient for him to directly ask what kind of mission Wang Fan got when he came to Lanzhou, so he just said to Xu Huai:
"It's such a great event, Xu Huai, you should escort Mr. Wang Xuan and Miss Xuan to Kelan City to meet the eldest son!"
Wang Zhen and Lu Xiong took a detour to Zhufeng Villa. In addition to picking up Wang Xuan, they also came to invite Xu Huai to accompany them.
At this juncture, Wang Fan was ordered to go to Lanzhou to serve. He was too busy to rush to the Lanzhou stone field to see his old father who had been wronged. This must be related to the war against Yan that had entered an intense rhythm at this time.
Xu Huai said a lot of things in the past, and Wang Zhen might not be able to listen to them, but one thing Xu Huai said came to his heart, and that was that Wang Zhen was really worried about leaving the plan of conquering Yan to Cai Zheng and other adulterers.
Fucked in the hands of selfish people.
In the past, Guo Zhongxiong and Yue Hailou in Lanzhou were openly and secretly planning the war against Yan. No matter how worried they were, they were not qualified to comment. In order to recruit 500 prisoners into the Xiang army, they made such a big noise before they succeeded.
However, they did not expect that Wang Fan could escape death and return from his mission as a secret envoy, nor did they expect that Wang Fan would come to Lanzhou to serve under the order.
Seeing Wang Zhen, Wang Xuan couldn't wait to rush to Kelan City immediately. Xu Huai said to Su Laochang: "Dad Su, you stay in the villa, and we will accompany Wang Zhen for a trip!"
Although the protection between men and women in this world was not very tight, Liu Qiong'er was embarrassed to ride with Xu Huai in front of Wang Zhen and Lu Xiong, so he brought Su Laochang's bay-red horse over and whispered to Su Laochang while leading the horse.
He told him to arrange for Zheng Tu to rush to Kelan City as soon as he returned to the villa.
Liu Qiong'er didn't need any explanation, Su Laochang also knew what she was thinking.
After all, they didn't know Wang Fan's character and temper, nor how Wang Fan would view them. With such an all-around man like Zheng Tu following him, it would be inconvenient for Xu Huai, Liu Qiong'er, and Yin Peng to show up.
If you want to do something, Zheng Tu can do it.
Wang reported that Wang Xuan's ancestors and grandsons were traveling in a car, and the others were riding horses. They left the Shipai Gate and headed for the post road.
"This is Mr. Zheng Shou - five people accompanied the eldest son on a secret mission to Chihu. Only Mr. Zheng went through many hardships and escorted the eldest son back to Bianjing after completing his mission." Wang reported.
Wang Xuan couldn't wait to rush to Kelan City, and Lu Xiong waited until he was on the way to introduce the messenger to Xu Huai.
Xu Huai saw that Zheng Tianshou was not too old, but his face was dark, thin and firm, like a mountain rock that had been eroded by the years. He did not know what kind of hardships they had endured in the North over the years, so he raised his hands and saluted: "Xu Huai, see
Master Zheng - I can’t even imagine what kind of hardships Master Zheng and the eldest son have gone through in the past six years!”
Zheng Shou followed Wang Fan to Lanzhou. After learning Wang Zhen's whereabouts, he rushed to the Lanzhou stone field to report the news.
At the official residence in Shichang, he talked about the hardships and disasters of being an envoy to Chihu over the years, and then he hurried on the road to Zhufeng Villa. He didn't even have time to understand the details of the banditry in Tongbai Mountain.
At this time, he just bowed his hand towards Xu Huaigong as a return gesture.
When they turned into the post road, Zheng Tu and Niu Er rode up from behind.
After Zheng Tu followed Xu Huai, he made great changes in all aspects, but his rogue background was still there. He didn't think highly of himself, and he didn't resent others looking down on him.
He rode up to get close to Zheng Shou, and during the more than 20 miles to Kelan City, he was so eloquent that he almost took away all the wealth of the eighteenth generation of Zheng Shou's ancestors.
Wang Fan's secret envoy Chi Hu pretended to be a merchant and went north from Yanmen Pass in the north of Daizhou. He successfully passed through the Khitan Xijing Road, but was captured by the Miqu tribe, one of the northwest fan tribes, at the northern foot of Yin Mountain.
The Miqu Tribe was still attached to the Khitan at that time and did not surrender the Red Husbands. Their property was robbed and they could not redeem themselves. Wang Fan could only kill them because they were merchants who took the risk of entering the Monan Grassland to make a fortune. In this way, they became the Miqu Tribe.
The Hu slaves of the Qu tribe did not reveal their identity until the Miqu tribe was conquered by the Chihu people.
The five people who escorted Wang Fan on his mission were selected from the army with strong skills and masters of Hu language and geography. Zheng Shou and others also tried to escape or return to Bianjing to report the news, but the six of them were in a foreign land and were separated and imprisoned in almost
The isolated Manfan tribe served as household slaves. In the end, only Zheng Shou survived and escorted Wang Fan back to Bianjing.
The hardships involved are difficult to describe.
Wang Fan returned to Bianjing with the new emissary from Chihu Ren. Even though the news was not disclosed to the public for a short time, he was treated with kindness and honor in a small area. In less than a month after returning to Bianjing, he was summoned by officials three times to present the envoy.
This time, Wang Fan also served as the minister of the Tianxuan Palace and the deputy envoy of the Northern Expeditionary Army's military and horse capital, accompanied by Liu Shizhong, who served as the commander of the Xuanfu capital of the Northern Expeditionary Army as the military envoy of Fuyan Road and the commander of the Xiaosheng Army.
Cai Yuanyou, who was a bachelor of Tianxuan Palace and served as the transport envoy for the Northern Expedition, arrived in Taiyuan with an order to take charge of the military affairs of the Hedong Road Division and the Northern Expedition against Yan.
The Privy Council had already drawn up a detailed battle plan for the northern expedition against Yan, with troops divided into two groups:
The East Route Army used Hedong Road as the strategic envoy Ge Boyi, who also took charge of the capital, and assembled the main force of the Tianxiong Army in the cities of Qianlan, Langu, and Ningwu in Lanzhou, and attacked Shuozhou north along the Huihe River.
Wang Fan, the Deputy Envoy of the Northern Expeditionary Army, was actually assigned to be the Eastern Route Army's Military Supervisor and Supervisor of the Army. He would be the deputy envoy to transfer the Northern Expeditionary Army to know about Lanzhou affairs.
Together with Guo Zhongxiong, he assisted Ge Boyi in promoting the East Route War.
The main forces of the Forbidden Army such as Xuanwu and Xiaosheng were incorporated into the West Route Army, led by Liu Shizhong and Cai Yuanyou themselves, heading north from Xinzhou and out of Yanmen Pass in Daizhou. Their troops pointed directly at Yingzhou, south of Datong Prefecture in Xijing, the heart of the southwest of Khitan.
"Fighting Yan has officially begun!"
Xu Huai guessed that Wang Fan's order to serve in Lanzhou must be related to the defeat of Yan. Unexpectedly, the battle of defeating Yan really opened at this moment, and the final curtain of shame was revealed.
It's no wonder that except for a private letter that failed to arrive, they had no other information channels in Lanzhou to know that Wang Fan had escaped death and returned to Bianjing. Bianjing must have thought that it was a top secret and wanted to keep it all secret until now.
at last.
In addition to Wang Fan, who served as the minister of Tianxuan Palace and also led the Northern Expeditionary Army as the deputy envoy to the military and horse capital, the official family finally did not forget that there was a loyal veteran in Lanzhou. They tossed and turned and thought of him all the time.
Dai Viet Sajik.
Although there has not yet been a direct resumption, the imperial edict passed to Lanzhou this time specifically granted Wang Zhen the title of Lanzhou Defense Envoy Xu Shenjunji.
The establishment of the Dai Viet Dynasty inherited the official system of the previous dynasty, and also retained official titles such as Jiedu Envoy, Defense Envoy, Observation Envoy, and State Governor. However, these official titles were divorced from the actual duties and were merely empty titles representing certain levels of honor.
However, although Wang Zhen, the defense envoy of Lanzhou, could not get involved in the state affairs authority held by Guo Zhongxiong, who knew Lanzhou affairs, he still had the title of "Xu Shenjunji", which meant that he could control the Eastern Route Army's combat arrangements.
It is better to make some suggestions than to give a complete empty title.
Xu Huai was still thinking hard this morning. They only had 500 prisoners to accompany the army on the northern expedition. How could they avoid disaster and seek good fortune under the pressure and interference of Guo Zhongxiong, Yue Hailou and others, but he did not expect that the situation would turn out to be completely different at this time.
