"This is the military officers of Nanyang Prefecture, and the military officers of the military commander, Cheng Lun Ying Cheng Langjun! These three are Zhonghe Zhongjun envoys, Kong Zhou Kong Army envoys, Liu Wugong Liu Jun envoys, all old friends of Chushan..."

Shi Zhen and Xu Wuji and Wang Ju were two or three people under Xu Huai on Chu Mountain. However, he met Xu Huai during the second northern expedition to Yan. He did not meet Cheng Lunying and Zhonghe who were active during the Tongbai Mountain Bandit Rebellion. However, it was the first northern expedition to Yan in the late period. Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong were the generals of the military commander of the state. At that time, they were the command of Dong Cheng and led their troops to escort the grain and fed north with Xu Wuji.

After the Tongbai Mountain Bandit Rebellion, the Tangzhou Military Control Commission rebuilt the Xiang Army, which suffered a catastrophe during the bandit Rebellion, recruited a large number of Jianrui Township soldiers from the Tongbai Mountain to serve as new troops. As a result, Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong led their troops to Taiyuan and were forcibly recruited by Xu Huai. Neither of them could stop them. They were forced to be helpless and could only stay under Wang Fan, who was the military commander at that time, and listened to them.

Before the second northern expedition to Yan, Wang Fan and his father Wang reported to the capital to listen to him. Lu Xiong, Zheng Shou, Wang Kong and others had no official positions, so they naturally followed him to the capital. As military generals in Tangzhou, Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong ended their short-term career as guest generals and returned to Biyang.

Therefore, Shi Zhen never had the opportunity to meet with Kong Zhou, Liu Wugong and others.

Tang Tiande walked forward and introduced everyone to Shi Zhen.

"Law Cheng and the military envoys were guarding the cold wind to greet each other, and Shi was ashamed of being able to take responsibility!" Shi Zhen bowed and bowed with Cheng Lunying, Zhonghe, Kong Zhou, and Liu Wugong.

"Mr. Shi Lang is so polite!" Cheng Lunying returned the courtesy with Zhonghe, Kong Zhou, Liu Wugong and others.

"When I came from Ruzhou, Hou Xu made a special trip to ask me to meet Hou Kong Jun, Hou Liu Jun, Hou Zhong Jun. When I saw him at this time, he was really majestic!" Shi Zhen said.

Kong Zhou, Liu Wugong, and Zhonghe looked at each other, and then they understood why Cheng Lunying wanted to pull them out to welcome Shi Zhen's arrival.

Although Wang Bing also asked Confucius and Liu Wugong to be awarded the title of the Seventh-rank Wugong Lang after entering the capital, Kong Zhou and Liu Wugong went north and not only threw away all the soldiers, but also had a deep connection with Wang Bing and Chushan. Not to mention Dong Cheng, the former governor of Tangzhou, and Ning Ci, who was the governor of Nanyang at this time, how could he wear good shoes for them?

Zhonghe’s involvement with Chushan and others became even deeper.

During the Tongbai Mountain Bandit Rebellion, the Zhong family of Mopan Mountain was tragically attacked by the rebellious son Zhong Changqing, and Zhonghe led the remaining clans to fight back. This was an important force to quell the bandit Rebellion. In his early years, he was famous in Tongbai Mountain and even above Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an and others. After quelling the bandit Rebellion, he was awarded the title of the Eighth-rank Wu Xiulang for his merits.

However, Zhonghe relied on his own to the clan and his masters, and was both civil and military. He was from the grassroots and had a distinctive and unconventional relationship with Xu Huai, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an and others who were in a state of affairs. After all, there was a barrier that could not be broken.

After the bandits were quelled, Xu Huai and others escorted Wang Bing north, and Zhonghe returned to Mopan Mountain to reorganize the clan. He also wanted to "turn to justice" and was determined to study hard to get a fame, but he did not expect that the world would change in a blink of an eye.

The people of Chushan followed Xu Huai in the past few years and made great achievements in martial arts. At that time, the famous people in Tongbai Mountain were unknown. They were only the head of the soldier and the apprentice of the blacksmith shop, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an, Tang Qing, Yin Peng, Han Qi, Xu Sihu, etc., who were already commanders of the Great Yue Du and senior generals at the level of Du Yuhou.

Even after the Tongbai Mountain rebellion, he recruited the Tangzhouxiang army and defected to Xu Huai's Zhong Jichang during the Taiyuan period. He was transferred to Ruzhou a few days ago, and was appointed as the county magistrate of the State Military and Horse Commission and the position of the county magistrate of the State Yeliang County.

Ning Ci was ordered to form the Nanyang Prefecture Army. Based on the former Xiang army of Tangzhou and Dengzhou, he recruited the township soldiers and villages, and expanded the scale of the troops by four or five times. He also added a group of senior generals such as the commander and the Du Yuhou.

Cheng Lunying personally recruited Zhonghe to join the government army. At the same time, he was from the wing army, but he fought bravely during the Tongbai Mountain Bandit Rebellion. Liu Wugong admired Kong Zhou, who had made military achievements, but Ning Ci did not trust them.

Therefore, Zhong, Kong and Liu were just ordinary military officials in Nanyang Prefecture. They mainly assisted Cheng Lunying in handling various military affairs. They did not have the opportunity to lead military officers who had been ranked in the rank of the military officers for a long time because of their past merits.

Because of the gap in circumstances, Zhong, Kong and Liu are not willing to talk about old things, nor are they willing to have any entanglements with Chu Shan.

This time the three of them were caught out by Cheng Lunying, and they were still reluctant. They thought Cheng Lunying wanted to please the people from Chushan and took them out as a foil, but they didn't expect that Xu Huai asked Shi Zhen to meet them.

Shi Zhen did not say why Biyang wanted to meet Zhong, Kong and Qi, and stood at the city and exchanged simple greetings with Cheng Lunying, and then took a carriage to the government office together.

In the end, Shi Zhen still had to meet Ning Ci and Zhou Yunze directly before he could talk about some things.

Zhong, Kong, Qi walked on the horse, but he was very worried.

The current situation is so steep, the gap and cracks between Chushan and Nanyang Prefecture and Runan County Duke's Mansion, as well as the rumors and suspicions about Chushan circulating in Biyang City at this time, they are all clear about it. Therefore, they did not have the honor of Xu Hou assigning Shi Zhen to Miyang to summon him, but they were both nervous.

…………

…………

Ning Ci, Zhou Yunze and other officials from Nanyang Prefecture gathered in the government office. After Shi Zhen arrived at the government office, he exchanged simple greetings and got to the point.

Tang Tiande rushed to Biyang before to contact Zuo Xiaosheng's army to move to Xiangyang through Nanyang. Shi Zhen came here to discuss the matter of sending troops from Nanyang Prefecture to coordinate the defense of Ru Cai and other places.

This matter was traced back to the Jingxiang North Road Strategic Envoy Liu Xian led Xuanwei's army out of Huaichuan and was annihilated by Yuehailou on the banks of Yingshui. In order to solve a series of problems such as the lack of troops and horses in the camps and the weak combat effectiveness of troops and horses under the camps, Emperor Jianye issued an edict to require the deployment departments of the camps and the military commanders of the governments and military commanders of the governments who were upgraded to the governments, to rotate the prefectures to the camps to the camps, to receive the camps, to accept the control of the camps, and to participate in defensive operations.

Jingxiang North Road and Nanyang Prefecture were designated to send troops to participate in the garrison of Ruzhou, Huai Shang and Heluo.

After Zheng Huaizhong led the Shenwu Army to retreat to Nanyang, although he could not directly interfere in the affairs of the Nanyang Prefecture and the Nanyang Prefecture Army, Zheng Huaizhong looked down on the Nanyang Prefecture Army and not only asked the Nanyang Prefecture Army to face Shangluo, but also ordered the Nanyang Prefecture Army to interrupt the participation in the Luzhou, Huai Shang and other places.

The troops of the prefectures of the provinces took turns to the Zhuxing camp to participate in defensive operations. Not only were all military supplies borne by the prefectures themselves, but the casualties and military merit rewards were also paid by the central government in name only, but the local governments actually.

Zheng Huaizhong was in charge of Nanyang and interrupted the Nanyang Prefecture Army to participate in the garrison of Ruzhou, Huai Shang and other places. Ning Ci, Zhou Yunze and others were happy to see it. After all, the Nanyang Prefecture Army at that time was more controlled by Zheng Huaizhong.

Xu Huai knew that when he asked the Nanyang Prefecture Office to discuss this matter, the Nanyang Prefecture Office would push the matter to Zheng Huaizhong, and Zheng Huaizhong would also take it over.

Chu Shan asked Zheng Huaizhong to quarrel at that time, but the end result would only force the center to make some inclination towards Chushan in other aspects, and would not take Zheng Huaizhong in these details.

Xu Huai's bento did not exist at that time.

Now Zheng Huaizhong, Zheng Cong and his son have led the main force of the Shenwu Army to reinforce Huainan. How could this old account be calculated without finding Nanyang Prefecture?

Not only did Xu Huai's account on Huai, but Xu Huai was also in charge of Ruzhou at this time, so he naturally had to calculate the accounts of Ruzhou together.

This time, Shi Zhen also brought the emperor's edict issued by Emperor Jianji and the letter from the Privy Council on his body. After sitting on the long case, he took out the edicts and flipped out the old tent with Ning Ci:

"In the second year of Jianji, Your Majesty issued an edict to send troops from all the provincial governments to guard the enemy. According to the specific arrangements of the Privy Council, after the end of the third year of Jianji Emperor, Nanyang Prefecture should be sent for half a year, each of which will accept the rotational control of the Ruzhou camp and the Chushan camp, and participate in the defensive battle against the enemy west of the Jing and Heluo. However, Yang Shuai was unfortunately killed in Ruyang. The Chushan Army fought fiercely with the enemy in Xiangcheng and north of Zhaoling, with heavy casualties, but the Nanyang Prefecture Army sent one army and one soldier. This time, Xu Hou came to see the King of Ningfu. First of all, he would like to ask what was going on?"

Zheng Huaizhong and Zheng Cong and his son were in Nanyang, so they naturally took this matter over.

No matter what conflicts they have with Ning Ci, Zhou Yunze and other officials of the Nanyang Prefecture Office, they will never easily tolerate Chu Shan’s involvement in the military and political affairs of Nanyang, but what can Ning Ci and Zhou Yunze say at this time?

Not to mention Zheng Huaizhong, Zheng Cong did not issue a formal letter to the Nanyang Prefecture Office on this matter. Even if there is, when will the letter issued by the Runan County Duke Office be more effective than the letter of the Emperor's Imperial Edict and the Privy Council?

After the Battle of Ruying, Zheng Huaizhong led his troops to Nanyang and did not also lead the Nanyang prefecture. The Nanyang Prefecture Office was still under the charge of Ning Ci, Zhou Yunze, Cheng Lunying and other scholars. In the final analysis, he hoped that Ning Ci and others would lead the Nanyang Prefecture Office to restrain and urge the Zheng family father and son to lead the Shenwu army to serve the court, and to follow the imperial edicts of the court, and not to follow the Zheng family father and son to fight against the imperial edicts.

"At the end of last year, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Heluo all needed to be resettled in Nanyang. The government office raised money and grain, recruited and transferred workers to build camps, and everything was in a state of turmoil. We thought that after the Ruying victory, Chu Ru's defense was as solid as a rock, and he was indeed lazy about the matter of garrison." Facing Shi Zhen's sudden attack, Ning Ci said in a silence, "Ning has already submitted a letter to apologize, but everything is accepted by the court to deal with it..."

Ning Ci can compete with Zheng Huaizhong on weekdays, so how could he easily ask Chu Shan to control it?

There is no way to reason about this matter, but in fact, the court also accused Nanyang Prefecture of the wrong side of Huai Shang, and Ruzhou sent troops to garrison.

Chu Shan’s means of targeting and suppressing Nanyang Prefecture is nothing more than writing a letter to impeachment.

Now Ning Ci took the initiative to take on all the accusations and obeyed the court's actions. What can Chu Shan do to him?

Take him off from the prefect of Nanyang?

That was just enough to escape from Nanyang and make a comeback after two days of leisurely life.

"Hangjun Cheng also apologized to the Lord of Ningfu?" When Shi Zhen entered the city, he chatted and laughed with Cheng Lunying all the way, but at this time he looked at him with a sharp edge.

Cheng Lunying was suddenly shocked, and suddenly he felt like he was sitting in pins and needles, wishing he could jump away.

Shi Zhen had previously sent troops to the Nanyang Prefecture through Tang Tiande and had some hints about the Nanyang Prefecture. Cheng Lunying knew that this matter was impossible, so he thought that Shi Zhen and Ning Ci had a tit-for-tat confrontation and eventually forced Ning Ci to make some concessions, so that the matter could be fooled.

Cheng Lunying never expected that Shi Zhen and Ning Ci had just pointed the finger at him without saying a few words.

In the Nanyang Prefecture Office, with the rapid expansion of the scale of the Nanyang Prefecture Army, Cheng Lunying took military service as the military officer to promote military affairs, and seemed to be above the military officers and other officials, and his status was second only to the prefect Ning Ci and the magistrate Zhou Yunze.

However, in the court, Ning Ci had already become the ministers, but Cheng Lunying knew that he was not even a scallion.

This lawsuit ended in the court. Zhou He, Gao Chunnian, Gu Fan and others would definitely work hard to protect Ning Ci, and Emperor Jianji was unlikely to attack the minister at this critical moment. Therefore, Ning Ci had a tough attitude and had his own confidence.

This lawsuit will not be pursued to reinforce the Runan Duke who was fighting in Huainan, but he must find a scapegoat to calm the incident. Who can be more perfect than Cheng Lunying?

Cheng Lunying seemed to be sitting on the stove, thinking about how to deal with Shi Zhen's difficulties and questioned him. He accidentally caught a glimpse of Ning Ci's eyes looking at him with sharp eyes, and then seemed to be sweeping away at Zhonghe, Kong Zhou, and Liu Wugong, who were sitting down.
