The news about the Six Han Sect patrolling Hebei on behalf of Tian soon spread in Chang'an City. The ministers were shocked by this. What they didn't expect was that Xu Jingzong, a rogue scholar, was actually reused, and he still made such a big loss.

What an honor it is to hunt for the sky, and it can only be done by a favorite. Most importantly, who is the deputy envoy to hunt for the sky? It is General Li Jing's favorite disciple Xue Rengui. This makes people envious. There are many

After Xu Jingzong lost his luck, the concierge of Xu Mansion also became busy and kept receiving the visiting guests.

But only Zheng Renji vaguely knew what was going on here, especially after knowing when Xu Jingzong entered the palace, he understood the mystery. He couldn't help but sneered secretly in his heart. This was not hunting for the sky, it was clearly for

The incident in Zezhou and the so-called hunting expedition in the north were just a small excuse. It seemed that Cui Li was in bad luck. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but think of my daughter. If it hadn't been her idea, perhaps

At this time, he might still be locked up in the post house in Zezhou.

However, Xu Jingzong is an ordinary minister after all. Although he has been favored by heaven this time, there are so many things that happen every day in Chang'an City. Xu Jingzong is not of any importance at all. The ministers discussed it several times

, it gradually became indifferent. With the departure of Xu Jingzong and Xue Rengui, things calmed down. Soon, the entire Chang'an City was alarmed by the massive establishment of a standing army.

"Master Xu, the front is the boundary of Zezhou." On the war horse, Xue Rengui was dressed in a snow-white battle robe, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd with a majestic expression. He pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said.

"Ahead is the boundary of Zezhou?" The curtain of the carriage turned, and Xu Jingzong walked out with a sword in his hand. It was Lu Zhaoci's sword. It must be used only for important matters. At this time, Xu Jingzong was given to Xu Jingzong.

"Then suspend the garrison here!" Xu Jingzong glanced around and saw mountains in the distance, stretching as far as the eye could see, and an official road leading straight into the distance. Obviously, that was the boundary of Zezhou.

"Garrison here?"

Brother, you can't escape the fate of destruction. So Xue Rengui hesitated.

"General, do you think this place is not suitable for garrisoning troops?" A mysterious smile appeared on Xu Jingzong's face.

"That's right." The old man Xue Rengui replied honestly: "This place is not suitable for garrisoning. The mountains and rivers are narrow. If the opponent is a cruel person, setting off a fire can bury more than ten thousand of our troops in the sea of ​​​​fire. Just use a little force.

Anyone with common sense understands this truth. I am afraid there is something wrong with your Majesty letting the general station troops here."

"Haha! That's right, not to mention the generals who use troops, I, Xu Jingzong, also know this bit of common sense." Unexpectedly, Xu Jingzong laughed loudly and said, "This is the effect I want."

"Oh! Please make it clear, sir." Xue Rengui looked at Xu Jingzong in surprise when he heard this. What he didn't understand was why Xu Jingzong had to do it himself when this matter was so obvious.

"I heard that near the border between Zezhou and Hedong, there is a group of habitual bandits with about a thousand people. They often appear on the border between Hedong and Zezhou, robbing merchants and travelers. Some caravans had no choice but to spend huge sums of money to buy their way.

Later, I heard that soldiers from Hedong and Zezhou Prefectures killed each other several times but allowed the other party to escape.

Hehe, there are tens of thousands of troops garrisoned in Hedong, and yet they managed to escape with such a killing. General, isn't there anything weird about this?" Xu Jingzong's eyes revealed a cunning light.

"Sir, do you mean this group of bandits?" Xue Rengui's expression changed and he said in surprise.

"Hey, how capable a group of bandits are, but they can survive under the attack of tens of thousands of troops from both sides. If you say there is nothing fishy in this, I won't believe it even if you kill them." Xu Jingzong sneered: "Under the dispatch of His Majesty,

When the general came, I checked the situation in Zezhou. At that time, I felt the mystery of it, so I asked the general to station troops here to confuse the bandits in the mountains." "But sir.

This time when I came to Daitian to hunt, I did not ask you to exterminate the bandits in the mountains. I am afraid that your actions are inconsistent with your Majesty's imperial edict!" Xue Rengui said nervously.

"General, do you know what your majesty asked me to patrol the sky for?" Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "It's just for the Zezhou matter. If you want to solve the Zezhou matter, the first thing to do is to deal with this group of bandits. The only way is to deal with it.

By defeating this group of bandits, we can perfectly solve the problem in Zezhou."

"Your Excellency, are you so sure that this group of bandits is related to Zezhou and not to Hedong?" Xue Rengui asked in surprise.

"Haha, general, when it comes to the marching tent, I, Xu Jingzong, am naturally not as good as the general. But when it comes to my understanding of people's hearts and my understanding of the officialdom, there is no one better than me.

Xu Jingzong laughed loudly and said: "General, just imagine. Cui Li is here in Zhugan. It has been ten years. When did this group of bandits appear? I checked the files and it happened to be Cui Li in Zeze."

The state appeared in the second year. Other officials have been changed many times. Even the governor of Hedong has also changed two people. The garrison in Hedong is also changed every three years. However, in the past ten years, the capital has been conquered many times.

It is a waste of food and grass, which shows that there is no problem in Hedong, or in other words, Zezhou is probably the main contributor to the problem."

"When your Majesty came, he ordered the general to follow your orders. In this case, please give me your instructions." Xue Rengui thought for a while and then said with his hands. Apparently he was also persuaded by Xu Jingzong.

"Thank you for your support, general." Xu Jingzong was overjoyed. He came out of Beijing just to make meritorious service. Although Xue Rengui's official position was far below him, his status was very special. He was the direct disciple of the general, and he was deeply loved by His Majesty.

Trust, one of these is enough to make Xu Jingzong look at this young man with admiration. If Xue Rengui does not cooperate with him, Xu Jingzong has no choice but to let it go. Now that Xue Rengui is able to position himself so well, Xu Jingzong can

Jingzong was extremely happy, knowing that half of the matter must have been completed.

"My army is here. I'm afraid that by now the bandits in the mountains have known that the soldiers under the general's command are not comparable to ordinary soldiers. They are a standing army formed by His Majesty and they are very brave. At this time, I'm afraid that these bandits have already hid in the mountains.

I'm afraid it will take some time to destroy them." Xue Rengui frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Haha, don't worry, general, I already have a plan, and I can definitely solve this group of bandits and the Zezhou incident in one fell swoop." Xu Jingzong said with a smile.

"Please give me your instructions." Xue Rengui looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes full of cunning and insidiousness, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. The person in front of him seemed to be smiling, but if he offended this person

, I'm afraid it is also a very painful thing. If nothing happens in the future, it is better to have less contact with this person.

"I heard that the general has a close brother named Zhou Qing?" Xu Jingzong suddenly said: "How is this person's military strategy? Does he have courage?"

"Zhou Qing has extraordinary martial arts skills. He is the sworn brother of the general." Xue Rengui glanced at the army behind him and suddenly called a young general and said, "Zhou Qing." Sure enough, a young captain ran away quickly.

When I came over, I saw that he was physically powerful and handsome, and Xu Jingzong nodded repeatedly when he saw him.

"I've met the general, I've met the lord." Zhou Qing quickly said as soon as he saw the two of them.

"No need to be polite." Xu Jingzong glanced at Zhou Qing, then looked at Xue Rengui, nodded and said: "A bit similar, a bit similar.

"

"Sir." Xue Rengui and Zhou Qing looked at Xu Jingzong in surprise.

"Haha, from now on, Captain Zhou will be General Xue, and General Xue will be Captain Zhou." Xu Jingzong pointed at the two people and said, "Captain Zhou led three hundred troops to follow me into Zezhou, and General Xue turned around.

Go north and send troops to Zezhou at the right time. I think we will be able to wipe out this group of bandits."

"My lord, are you trying to lure the snake out of the hole?"

.How to explain to His Majesty?"

"Don't worry!" Xu Jingzong waved his hand casually and said: "Cui Li has been operating in Zezhou for a long time. He thinks he has a good grasp of Zezhou. Who would have expected that our first target is not him, but someone outside the city.

Bandit. Huh! I'm afraid I've neglected him a lot now. When I push him deep in the city, he will definitely use bandits to get rid of me with the hands of bandits. This is the general's opportunity.

.”

"In this case, the general will take the order." Xue Rengui thought for a while, nodded, and said to Zhou Qing: "Zhou Qing, you must remember that you must protect the safety of Mr. Xu."

"General, don't worry. Even if I, Zhou Qing, die, Master Xu will not be in any danger." Zhou Qing said with a stern face and cupped his hands.

"Okay, that's the case. Tomorrow you will lead three hundred brothers to escort Mr. Xu into Zezhou City." Xue Rengui didn't tell the difference, so he said to Zhou Qing on the side. Seeing this, Xu Jingzong on the other side nodded secretly and acted decisively.

, without being sloppy. With clear priorities and strong martial arts skills, this person will definitely be a general in the future. No wonder he is worthy of being loved by the general today. Not everyone can do this, but this person

But Xue Rengui can. This shows that this person will be extraordinary in the future. It is also necessary to have a good relationship with this person.
