Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

"The top priority is to find out this corruption case. My nephew doesn't have enough authority, and it's more than enough to restrain Jiangnan Dao, but it's really beyond my reach for the Chang'an matter."

Cheng Yaojin sighed.

"Who doesn't know this? This trip is just hoping to get some people from you. With Liu Jin and the others alone, I don't know how long the delay will be. We can't let Lao Zhang suffer all the time, right?"

After many years of robes, the relationship between the old handsome is not much worse than that of parents, wives and children.

"Then let Wang Shouren go back with Uncle Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin was shocked!

"You must not, your task in Jiangnan is more serious, and Mr. Shouren can help you more!"

Wang Shouren alone is enough to be worth thousands of troops.

Cheng Yaojin originally wanted a few experts from Taiji, and went back to investigate the case.

Let Wang Shouren go back, he didn't even dare to think about it!

"Wang Shouren is still on Dongzhou Island. Uncle Cheng might as well go to the island first and return to Chang'an. There is no rush."

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.

He nodded heavily.

"Alright."

After finishing speaking, he said hesitantly: "Chu Mo's side"

Before the next words could be said, Lao Cheng's face turned red.

In the eyes of people like them, taking care of their own son is a very shameful thing.

Chapter 1660 See who doesn't like it, just call the door

Liu Bai felt very sorry for keeping Cheng Chumo in Shuzhong.

Cheng Yaojin has only three sons in total.

The eldest is in Shuzhong, the third is on Dongzhou Island, and the third simply went to the country of Wa.

The old couple stayed at home all day, living in a panic.

Logically speaking, Liu Bai should have called Cheng Chumo back long ago.

However, the water conservancy project on the Dujiangyan side has never been completed, and no one can be found to replace Cheng Chumo.

Doing the math now, he has been in Shuzhong for more than a year.

"Uncle Cheng, Chumo's task has not been completed yet. Call him back now, but all previous efforts will be wasted. The water conservancy project of Dujiangyan is related to the development of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is an important channel connecting the north and the south. Maybe we have to wait for him." a year."

Cheng Yaojin laughed.

"The ugly cow is under your hands, so I'm naturally very relieved, but the child's mother is talking all day long, and my ears are very bored."

It is said that Cheng Yaojin also misses his son very much.

It's just for the sake of my son's future and face, so I'm embarrassed to show it.

"I also made a solid deal with you. Chumo is of great use to me and the court. You have been a military general all your life, don't you know the difficulties of military generals?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed a few times.

"With your words, I will completely withdraw my heart."

Liu Bai cupped his hands at him.

Cheng Yaojin is very kind to the Liu family and to him.

After traveling all these years, the reason why the family can be stable and peaceful is mostly because of Cheng Yaojin's help.

Back then, five surnames and seven Wangs surrounded the Liu family in Chang'an City.

Cheng Yaojin moved a chair and sat in front of the big house in Daoxingfang for three days and three nights.

This kindness is enough for Liu Bai to treat Cheng Chumo and the others as brothers.

He also quite recognized Cheng Chumo's character.

If it was someone else, whether it was Li Tai or Li Ke, they would have been unable to sit still for so long in Shuzhong.

Only Cheng Chumo didn't complain, and he watched the water conservancy project of Dujiangyan conscientiously.

In this world, there are very few people who can endure loneliness.

"Your Majesty has explained a lot of things. My brain is not working well, and I can't remember it. I just leave the imperial decree to you."

Cheng Yaojin took out an imperial decree from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.

He waved his hand casually, got up and left.

Liu Bai sent him outside the mansion, watched dozens of fast horses swerving away, then returned to the mansion and opened the imperial edict.

Upon seeing the contents of the imperial decree, Liu Bai suddenly smiled.

Another empty edict!

What Li Er meant was obvious.

He can temporarily suppress the affairs in Chang'an City, and he can also keep Zhang Gongjin in a short time.

The specific interrogation still needs to be carried out by Liu Bai.

To put it bluntly, it is to let him act cheaply.

Liu Bai put the edict into the wooden box, held the teacup, returned to his seat, closed his eyes and meditated.

He needs to sort out his current thinking.

"Perhaps, there is no need to delay the promotion of banknotes. As long as the people can accept the use of banknotes, Zhang Gongjin's side is not a big sin."

Corruption in the military is no longer a day or two.

Even if Zhang Gongjin was responsible, it was only a crime of negligence.

From this point of view, at most, the title will be lowered.

The real purpose of the emperor is to kill everyone.

If the banknotes can be implemented smoothly, the emperor will be lenient, and the civil and military officials will not be able to say anything.

Speeding up the promotion of banknotes can actually save Zhang Gongjin.

"The pilot of Jiangnan Road cannot be delayed any longer. The longer it is delayed, the more complicated the situation in Chang'an will be. In a month or even half a month, the people of Jiangnan Road must accept banknotes and let the court see Results!"

Before leaving Chang'an City, Liu Bai didn't need to consider anyone's feelings when doing things.

See who doesn't like it, just call the door directly.

There are many gossips in the court, and it has been almost ten years, but Liu Bai has not been hurt in the slightest.

Things are different now.

The Liu family has clearly stated their attitude and will no longer interfere in anything above the court.

Now that this precedent has been set, you cannot slap yourself in the face.

Mainly for the better, to get the power of Jiangnan.

Although it was temporary, during the promotion period of banknotes, Liu Bai had complete power of life and death in Jiangnan Road.

It's just a matter of changing a few court officials.

Indeed, there was no longer any delay.

Now is the best opportunity to promote paper money.

It's too late to change, and I don't know how many moths are waiting for me.

"Come on!"

Liu Bai's voice was very loud, 'Hula La' broke into a large group of people.

Here comes Xu Chu, Captain Huang, and Liu Er.

More than half of the school lieutenants in the Yuezhou prefecture's military battalion have come!

They also thought that something unexpected happened to Liu Bai.

Xu Chu has long been used to it.

"Master!"

He cupped his hands and stepped forward.

Liu Bai pointed to Captain Zuo and the others.

"Leave all the work in hand first, and now mobilize all the horses in the army camp, and don't even leave the auxiliary soldiers and cooks behind!"

Captain Zuo said hesitantly: "Are you determined to wipe out the water thieves? I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."

There are less than [-] combatants in the Fubing battalion.

The number of water thieves in Dongting Lake ranges from [-] to [-] to [-]!

The court's regular army has a strong reserve force, and its equipment is far superior to that of water thieves.

It is not nonsense to use 3000 people to fight [-] to [-] miscellaneous troops.

But all of this must be based on careful planning.

Only by taking advantage of all favorable conditions can things be accomplished.

Zuo Xiaowei is just meaning.

Both he and the other lieutenants knew that Liu Bai couldn't suddenly order to attack the water thieves.

If he had this plan, he would have already started planning it when he came to Yuezhou, why wait until now?

To their surprise, Liu Bai actually nodded.

"That's right, within five days, most of the water thieves in Dongting Lake must be brought to justice!"

In Liu Bai's room, it was eerily quiet.

With his words, everyone present was so scared that they almost forgot to breathe.

Capture most of the water thieves within five days?

Want to fart? !

Not to mention whether they can be defeated within five days.

Just five days, how long will it take to catch tens of thousands of pigs?

Eight hundred miles to Dongting Lake is not just for fun.

"Gather all the people and horses together first, then someone will take you to do the rest, Liu Er will stay behind, and everyone else, go!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Bai waved his hand.

Captain Zuo knelt on one knee and cupped his hands.

Liu Bai threw a small thing over, and it happened to fall into Captain Zuo's hands!

Although Captain Zuo looked nervous, he immediately took people out without any hesitation.

Soon, the drums of Jujiang sounded outside

Chapter 1661 Whom to ask for reasoning?

Dongting Lake connects with the Yangtze River, and there is a mountain on the southeast bank named Ergui Mountain.

This mountain is not high, only a dozen feet or so from the surface of the lake.

But in the eyes of military experts, this is a battleground for military strategists.

As long as you occupy this mountain, you can guard the confluence of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River, and you can defend if you attack and retreat, which is enough to cover two hundred miles!

Captain Zuo's marching speed was not slow.

It also took a day to rush from Fubing Camp to Ergui Mountain.

On the afternoon of the second day, 500 people camped on the mountainside of Ergui Mountain.
