"Han, Han did his best." Having lost the reliance of "prescience", at this moment, Han Qing felt extremely guilty and nodded slowly and with difficulty.
The three of them stopped talking nonsense, took their guards, and continued on their way at high speed. All confusion and uneasiness were left behind.
I always hope that I can get to Bianliang earlier and do my little bit for this country. Even if I can't turn the tide, at least I won't watch the situation getting worse!
In the afternoon of this day, they finally arrived near Dongming County. Seeing that it was less than half a day's journey from Bianliang, and there were still pedestrians and horses on the official road, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.
physical strength.
The people in the capital are obviously more able to keep their composure than the people in the east and west of the capital.
Cars and horses were coming and going on the official road, but few refugees carrying large and small packages were seen. However, on both sides of the road near Shiliting, the county seat, there were still local vendors setting up awnings, selling cold cakes, tea, and melons.
Fruits and other things, as if the war going on in Chanzhou two hundred miles away has nothing to do with him.
"The official family probably hasn't left Beijing yet!" Seeing the people living and working in peace and contentment, Yang Xu suddenly had some unrealistic fantasies in his heart, "Tonight the three of us will go to see the Prime Minister together and state our interests..."
"The Prime Minister Wang said that orders cannot be changed overnight." On the road for many days, Han Qing had already recovered from the blow of losing his "ability to foresee." He thought about it and shook his head slightly, "Yelu Longxu has been with the Liao army.
, if the officials did not go to war, the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty would be at a disadvantage mentally. And even if the officials went, the presence of Kou Prime Minister and Wang Xiang should be able to prevent the officials from interfering too much in military affairs."
The second half of the sentence was definitely disrespectful to the officials. However, Wang Shu, who was involved in political affairs, turned a deaf ear to it. He smiled and continued next to him with a tired face, "General Li Jilong, the governor of the Hebei camp, is an official.
His uncle. The officials should not be able to trust his abilities. In addition, the two people trusted by the officials know that Liu Chenggui and Dou Shenbao are also proficient in the art of war. At the critical moment, they should not risk their own lives and those of the officials.
adventure."
"In this way, we don't have to be too nervous if the official's chariot goes on the expedition in person!" Han Qing took a breath and continued panting, "Just do your own thing well. For the rest, let's wait for now and make decisions based on the specific situation.
.”
This was the answer he finally found for himself after thinking about it on horseback for days.
Although the facts before him are no longer the same as the other history he knew. Zhao Heng Yujia went on a personal expedition and went from being forced by Kou Zhun to taking the initiative.
But at least the general direction is to conquer it personally.
So as long as Wang Shu said that day, do your duty and ensure the peace of Bianliang, it is enough.
In another time and space, after Zhao Heng arrived in Chanzhou, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted and he killed the Liao general Xiao Dalin, causing the Liao army to lose the initiative on the battlefield and had to accept the Song Dynasty's proposal for peace talks.
In this time and space, as long as there is no trouble behind the scenes, the final result should not be too bad.
"You are quite calm, you look like a famous general from ancient times!" Yang Xu was in a irritable mood and was very dissatisfied with Han Qing's reaction, frowning and taunting him.
Han Qing smiled and did not respond.
In another time and space, he was just an ordinary person who made a name for himself by taking advantage of legal loopholes to help people with divorce cases. In fact, he had never commanded a team of more than fifty people, nor had he held any major responsibilities.
Although he did some amazing things in this time and space, he was only in his early twenties after all. How could he be like Kou Zhun and Li Jihe, holding the sky with one hand?
What's more, even if he wanted to do more for the Song Dynasty, the officials had to rest assured.
Transferring him back to the capital and entrusting his grandfather Han Chonggui with important responsibilities, these two arrangements obviously have the meaning of balance and fetters.
He works as a civil servant honestly, investigating cases and catching thieves in Bianliang City, and everyone can live in peace with each other. If he continues to overestimate his capabilities and interferes in national affairs or military power, I am afraid that not only Zhao Heng himself will not agree, but also Mr. Kou
Xi'er had to be the first to jump out and fall out with him.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I will definitely go to see Prime Minister Kou tonight. Even if I anger him, the worst I can do is go to the army and become a guard." Yang Xu was so anxious that he didn't see the expression on Han Qing's face at all.
Helpless. Seeing that he refused to pick up the blame, he added loudly.
"Ji Ming, if the imperial commander's personal expedition has been approved by the court, even if the officials have not set off, it is impossible for Prime Minister Kou to persuade the officials to withdraw their orders." Wang Shu is far older than the two of them, and the officialdom has been ups and downs for a long time.
He had already seen the political conspiracy behind Han Qing's return to Bianliang and interrupted in a low voice.
Without waiting for Yang Xu to refute, he quickly added, "In addition, with the temperament of the Kou Prime Minister, I am afraid that he will not obstruct the official expedition. Instead of causing trouble to the Kou Prime Minister, you might as well ask the Kou Prime Minister for help and find a way to bring your grandfather and father together.
Bring him back from Hejian. In this way, the official will have one more veteran to help him make plans. Li Jilong will also have one more capable arm."
"How to connect? The road south of Hejian has long been cut off by the Liao army." Yang Xu was not convinced and asked with a frown.
After the words fell, his eyes lit up again, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, for reminding me. I forgot, you can also take the sea route. There are sea ships over there in Dengzhou, and the Quanzhou navy can go north at any time!"
He has been grumpy and homeless recently, mainly because he heard that Zhending had fallen and his father and grandfather were trapped in the river.
If his father and grandfather could return to the south of the Yellow River safely, even if they only went to Dengzhou, he would immediately feel relieved.
Immediately, Yang Xu could no longer worry about Han Qing not supporting him in persuading Kou Zhun. He shook the reins and said goodbye loudly, "Then I will take a step ahead, lest it is too late and cannot enter Bianliang City. Jiajun,
Prime Minister, if you have offended me, please allow me to apologize in person on another day."
As he spoke, he rode his horse and rushed more than ten feet away. Han Qing and Wang Shu were unable to stop him, so they could only wave at his back with a wry smile.
Just as he was preparing to speed up, he would not be troubled by the city gate captain after sunset. Suddenly, in mid-air, there was the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, "swish, swish..." followed closely by several cold lights,
It shot from near a food stall on the roadside.
"Prince Prime Minister, pull the reins of the horse!" Han Qing didn't need to look carefully to know that the cold light came from the reflection of the arrow bunch. He shouted loudly at the top of his voice. At the same time, he hid in a stirrup and fell under the horse's belly.
"Puff puff..." The sound of arrows hitting flesh and blood was continuous. The fast horse he had just put on at the inn at noon shook his body and fell down with a mournful scream.
