Chapter 40 Ripped a hole

When he saw Guo Wei, he was reading "Lang Wai Chun Qiu" in the Zide Hall. When he saw Guo Zongyi coming, he quickly put down the book in his hand and called him to come closer.

After looking at Guo Zongyi carefully for a while, and seeing that his complexion was as usual, Guo Wei felt relieved and said with a smile: "I heard that you were very majestic in the front camp yesterday and killed Wang Yin's entire team of Yajun."

Guo Zongyi chuckled, stepped forward, and handed over a memorial: "Has Wang Qin filed a complaint with you?"

Guo Wei didn't answer, raised his finger and pointed at the corner of the table: "Throw it over there. Wang Qin didn't complain to me. He just said that he was incompetent in discipline, which caused the people to suffer. You have brought trouble to the Tian family."

Guo Zongyi was greatly surprised. He did not expect that Wang Qin was a very thoughtful person. When he broke into the court that day, he thought he was a domineering Yameni.

"Wang Qin's words are true. That team of criminals harmed the natural world and it is not a pity to die. But my grandson beheaded first and then reported, which is also against the law of the country. I came here today to plead guilty to Aweng."

After saying this, Guo Zongyi lifted up his robe, knelt down on the ground and paused with his head.

Guo Wei saw that his butt was sticking out so high that he gave him a light kick and scolded him with a smile: "Get up, what a naughty trick you are playing. I didn't say I would punish you. The government and the public praised your move a lot. Come on."

If we can silence Wang Yin with the apology form, the matter will be over."

Guo Zongyi then stood up with a smile. Guo Wei glared at him and walked out of the hall: "Come with me to the Forbidden Garden to relax."

"Okay." Guo Zongyi responded and hurriedly followed. He turned around the corridor and saw that there were few people around. He stepped forward and whispered to Guo Wei: "My grandson has one more thing, which is related to the Khitan."

Guo Wei paused when he heard this, turned around and looked at Guo Zongyi, with a surprised tone: "Khitan? Tell me."

Guo Zongyi looked around, and Guo Wei understood it in his mind. He waved his hand and ordered the attendants behind him to retreat to a distance, and said with slight dissatisfaction: "What kind of news is this mysterious?"

Guo Zongyi handed over the letter from the Zhang family: "This is the family letter from the daughter of Zhang Zangying, the envoy of the Lutai Army. Please read it."

Guo Wei took it, opened it and read it carefully, wondering: "How did this letter from the daughter of Zangying get into your hands?"

At that moment, Guo Zongyi recounted Zhang's deeds. After listening to this, Guo Wei sighed and said, "She is truly an extraordinary woman who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, yet is brave and not afraid of death. She is truly an extraordinary woman. With such virtue, the imperial court should pursue her."

"But she is neither the clan daughter nor the married woman, so how can she get the title?"

Guo Wei put away the letter and said with a smile: "This is easy, I will accept her as my adopted daughter and it will be over."

Guo Zongyi hesitated, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "I'm afraid the courtiers won't agree. After all, the Zhang family has experienced this..."

He did not continue talking. Guo Wei understood the meaning immediately, but he did not pay attention to it: "This is just a trivial matter, not to mention that if she is granted the title, it will be a great help to win over Zhang Zangying. He is the Lutai military envoy, Guanfang Town

If a general can abandon darkness and turn to light and use it to prepare for war, won't he be unpopular?"

After hearing this, Guo Zongyi suddenly realized that Jiang was really old and hot. If he could rise to the heights of government affairs, no one would make irresponsible remarks.

Seeing that Guo Wei was also interested in wooing Zhang Zangying, Guo Zongyi struck while the iron was hot, glanced at the letter in Guo Wei's hand, and said, "Ms. Zhang entrusted me with this matter during his lifetime, why not have his grandson send someone to contact Zhang Zangying?"

"Is there anyone under you who can handle this?" Guo Weiqi asked.

"Yes, Cao Han, the former commander of the Chanzhou Ya Army, is astute and profound, and can handle this matter." Guo Zongyi said with his hands in hand, counting over and over, he found that the person under his command who was capable of intelligence work was Cao Han, the king of routines. He had always had many

He is wise, good at dancing, and as cunning as a wolf. Of course, he is still a young wolf.

The main purpose of his visit to Guo Wei this time was to put the matter of contacting Zhang Zangying on the table and treat it as an errand for the court, so that he could open a gap in Guo Wei's hands, obtain authority, and legitimately cultivate and develop.

Intelligence network.

Guo Wei thought briefly and nodded in agreement: "This is the mission Zhang entrusted to you before his death. It is reasonable for you to contact Zhang Zangying. It is difficult for others to criticize, but there is no need to force it. If he is unwilling to submit, it will not be a big deal to us."

hinder."

With that said, he returned the letter to Guo Zongyi.

"Yes." Guo Zongyi took it and put it away. The grandfather and grandson continued to move forward, chatting about some family issues. It was not until sunset that Guo Zongyi was allowed to go back.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Guo Zongyi ordered someone to look for Cao Han. He didn't know which section of the road he was escorting him on, but he arrived after a long journey when the bright moon was in the sky.

"Your Highness." Cao Han crossed his hands and made a military salute.

Guo Zongyi retreated, leaving Cao Han alone in the hall. This made him alert, guessing that His Highness must have some shady errand for him to do.

Signaling Cao Han to sit down, Guo Zongyi asked with concern: "Have the family members all settled down?"

Cao Han felt something bad, but still didn't know what was going on. Seeing Guo Zongyi's eyes glaring, he could only answer honestly: "We have settled down and rented a yard in the east of the city."

Guo Zongyi nodded and shouted outside the hall: "Zhang Jin, go get some more silver cakes."

Cao Han was even more confused and simply asked: "Your Highness, do you have something to tell me?"

"That's right." Guo Zongyi nodded, took out Zhang's letter, and said, "Do you know the woman who committed suicide in front of me yesterday?"

"I've heard a little bit about it."

"This errand is related to this woman, who is the daughter of Zhang Zangying, the military envoy to Lutai and the envoy to discuss salt production, and the governor of Lingfang Prefecture."

"Lutai, isn't that under the rule of the Khitan?" Cao Han was slightly surprised. He had only heard that this woman died tragically, but he did not expect such an origin.

"Exactly, the Zhang family all cares about the imperial court. This time she was ordered by her father to go back to her hometown to visit her relatives. She and her entourage were separated by the refugees on the road, and then they made it all the way to the capital. Before she died, she asked me to forward this letter to her.

Yeah, I hope I can persuade Zhang Zangying to abandon the dark side and join the bright side."

After saying this, Guo Zongyi pushed the letter to Cao Han.

What the errand was, could not be clearer. Cao Han was very self-aware and knew that there were not many people around His Highness who could tell the details, and he was the only one who could trust him.

At that moment, without thinking, Cao Han put away the letter and said plausibly: "I will definitely live up to my bid and be able to recruit Zhang Zangying!"

Unexpectedly, Guo Zongyi shook his head: "You don't have to recruit him to the court."

Cao Han was confused, crossed his hands and said: "I am stupid, please let me know clearly."

Guo Zongyi did not answer, so he stood up and walked to the courtyard. At this time, everything was silent, the shadows of the trees were whirling, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, the clouds were thin, and the mist was flowing. It was a beautiful night.

He looked at Cao Han and said leisurely: "It is not difficult to send a letter to persuade him to surrender. There are many people in the Imperial City Department who can do it, but I took over the errand from your majesty and sent you to go there in person. If you will pick up Zhang Zangying,

If we don't come back, then our efforts will be in vain."

Cao Han understood and was silent for a while, then he said: "Your Majesty, I understand. Your Highness hopes to tear a hole in Zhang Zangying's body so that our scouts can smoothly sneak into the Khitan territory to spy on the enemy."

Guo Zongyi smiled mysteriously: "Your answer is only half correct. After instigating Zhang Zangying's rebellion, there is no need to come back in a hurry. Just stay in Jizhou and set up a racket, and then we will figure out the other half."

"Biaoxia saves money, but if we want to handle this matter, we still need some manpower."

"Do you have anyone to choose?"

Cao Han hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I know a few scouts in the army who are former scouts. If I can get their help, I will definitely make great achievements."

"Okay, you can pick the people you want. No matter which army they are in, I will find a way to transfer them." Guo Zongyi readily agreed and asked, "Do they have families?"

Cao Han recalled for a while, shook his head and said, "Are there two of you?"

"You can't do it without family members." Guo Zongyi refused with a smile.

Cao Han knew the intention and said readily: "Your Highness understands, but there is still one person. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to give it?"

"Let's talk first." Guo Zongyi did not agree immediately.

"That's the scholar surnamed Han who was in Tian Ping's team earlier."

When Guo Zongyi heard this, he was surprised. Han Cuoda was still raising horses in the backyard with Tian Ping. He was a sour scholar who was a hundred times more honest than Cao Bin. If Cao Han asked him to do such an errand, wouldn't it be like chasing a duck?

Seeing that His Highness remained silent, Cao Han looked suspicious and quickly explained: "This scholar Han's real name is Han Qi, and he is the grandson of Han Xun, the military governor of Shuofang in the late Tang Dynasty. Han Xun..."

"I know what you said." Guo Zongyi interrupted him. This Han Qi was originally from Lingzhou. His uncle was Han Xun's eldest son Han Zhu, and his father was the second son Han Cheng. Han Xun and Han Zhu died of illness one after another.

Shuofang Jiedushi fell into the hands of Han Cheng, but Han Cheng had a weak character. In the fourth year of Tiancheng, there was a rebellion in the military academy. He was killed and his descendants fled to various places. Han Qi was his posthumous son.

"You know him well, but Han Qi is just an ordinary soldier. He can only know a few words. What's the use of him?" Guo Zongyi asked.

Cao Han had a bitter look on his face, avoiding the sharp gaze in the night, and explained: "I often walk beside His Highness, coming and going, and I became familiar with Han Qi. Only then did I know his life experience, and I also knew that he had great ambitions.

, I am not willing to stay in the stable for the rest of my life, so I beg you that if I have a chance, I can speak kind words to His Highness, and he will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. As long as it allows him to show his ambition in life, he is willing to die."

Guo Zongyi stared at Cao Han, as if he was trying to distinguish the authenticity. Soon, he smiled and said: "In that case, I'll give it to you, but how are you going to restrain him?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Han's face turned serious and he said fiercely: "If he dares to ruin His Highness's important affairs, Your Majesty will personally chop him up!"

"The first thing is to guard against the slightest possibility of misfortune." Guo Zongyi warned, turning around to go back to the house.

Cao Han was about to follow, but Guo Zongyi said: "Please stay, sir. This matter will be done sooner rather than later. When we are ready, we will go north with Zhu Renzhi's salt sales team."

"Provoke!" Cao Han drank and seemed confident.

Guo Zongyi nodded with satisfaction, not to mention Cao Han's ability, just this energy can make his superiors feel relieved.

Then, he pointed to the wooden box on the corridor: "There is some money here. Please take it and buy that small courtyard."
