Behind me is the earth

"Captain, you are finally back!"

In the county government hall, Ren Pingsheng saw the angel who had been waiting here for several days.

In these years, even the eunuchs who came out of the palace lost their former arrogance when faced with a powerful warlord like Ren Pingsheng who led the army. Now they greeted Ren Pingsheng with smiles and caution.

"What's your surname, father-in-law?"

Ren Pingsheng raised his hand to signal Shaoyao to serve tea.

"My surname is Li, and my common name is Fugui."

Eunuch Li Fugui said with a smile.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the eunuch with some curiosity, feeling that his voice was not as shrill as expected, but rather hoarse. He looked good, looked upright, and was scented, and there was no rumor in his smell. The kind of urinary irritation.

However, Ren Pingsheng's eyes did not linger on him for a long time, and basic courtesy still had to be maintained.

Although Eunuch Li waited in Qingshui County for a few days, his first impression of Ren Pingsheng was not bad.

With the emperor's orders, he had been to the camps of northern rogues, to the camps of foreign tribes in the northern grasslands, and to the military camps of the Beiwan Group. He was considered a rare eunuch who had experienced hundreds of battles.

The Ren Pingsheng in front of him was polite at least on the surface. He also seemed to have a superior appearance, elegant temperament, and was also a well-educated person in conversation.

The graceful and majestic power under his control, although it is not to be underestimated, but he seems to be emotionally stable. When facing such a person, at least you don't have to worry that the other person will get angry at any time and make you lose your head.

Moreover, during the past few days in Qingshui County, I was entertained with delicious food and drinks, and my life was more comfortable than in the palace.

After chatting for a while, Ren Pingsheng was also very interested in this eunuch who traveled north and south. Through him, he learned about the current situation in the capital, as well as the northern provinces such as Zhongzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou, as well as the current situation of the foreign races north of Ning'an.

"Where is the imperial edict? Please ask Eunuch Li to read it out."

They continued chatting until noon. Ren Pingsheng looked at it and saw that it was lunch time. He sat down on the chair and let Li Fugui read out the imperial edict.

Seeing his posture, Eunuch Li was stunned and looked around. Then with a smile on his face again, he took the golden edict on the tray in the hand of the little eunuch who was accompanying him, opened it and stood in the middle hall, speaking in a sonorous and powerful tone. read out:

"The Emperor Chengyun of the Heaven issued an edict: I am the only one in the world. I have rebelled against the people, acted recklessly, and disrupted the government. Fortunately, Ren has been extremely loyal and courageous throughout his life. He bravely killed the enemy, quelled the rebellion for the country, and achieved great military exploits.

In order to commend Ren's life-long achievements, he was specially appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital of Wuzhou Province, leading elite troops and generals to suppress the rebels in Northern Anhui and restore peace to the country...

·······Ren Pingsheng, I am deeply honored that you are a loyal person. I wish you success and good news. "

After Ren Pingsheng listened to the imperial edict being read, he reached out and Shaoyao took the imperial edict from Eunuch Li's hand and delivered it to Ren Pingsheng.

He opened it and looked at it, and secretly praised the writing.

Immediately, he placed the imperial edict on the table next to him: "The rebels in Northern Anhui are extremely extravagant and lustful. They regard the people as pigs and dogs. They also try to go south to Wuzhou, River Valley and other provinces in an attempt to capture the world's granary. This move is nothing different. It is unbearable to dig up the foundation of our great scenery!

Your Majesty has appointed me the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital of Wu Province, and I will share your worries and forge swords for the country. We will definitely not let the rebels cross the Liusha River to save the granary for the country and live up to His Majesty's wishes. "

Ren Pingsheng said with his fists clasped to the north.

When Eunuch Li heard this, he nodded immediately and secretly sighed that although this man did not know etiquette, he was still a loyal man and was willing to share the country's worries.

But before he could speak, he saw the other party change the topic and continue: "However, Qingshui County is a small country with few people. It raises a large army to guard the enemy's southward route. The military food is very expensive. I wonder if the imperial court has it?" The allocation of money, grain and grass will allow our soldiers to stop worrying about hunger and focus on fighting the enemy?"

The festive smile that had just appeared on Eunuch Li's face froze: "This is natural, this is natural. Don't worry, Governor. When we return to Beijing, we will have to pass through Fuzhou County. We will make it clear to Governor Wang then."

"Okay, Eunuch Li and I hit it off right away. It was very hard for him to come all the way. Fengcheng, as the host, failed to cleanse his father-in-law. It was Fengcheng's fault. The scenery today is just right. You and I should treat wine as song, shouldn't we? Let’s live up to these great years.”

Ren Pingsheng got Li Eunuch's promise, stood up with a smile, and invited Li Fugui to have dinner with him.

At the banquet, Ren Pingsheng got to know more about the current capital.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Ren Pingsheng even spied on some palace secrets through Eunuch Li.

After lunch, Eunuch Li was sent to rest by Shaoyao. Although Ren Pingsheng drank a lot, he was not drunk at all.

"Master, drink some yogurt."

Xiaowan came over with a box of yogurt with a straw already inserted into it.

She felt that the young master drank wine and yogurt was good for his stomach.

Ren Pingsheng took the yogurt and drank it: "The crisis facing Jingchao now is more serious than I imagined."

The current Night Owl organization and the intelligence personnel of the Divine Arrow Division are basically all in Yuntai County.

There are only sporadic strongholds in several surrounding counties.

Getting information further north is not so convenient.

"Perhaps Jing Chao is only as good as these few years."

Ren Pingsheng said with emotion.

Xiaowan asked doubtfully: "But there is no chaos in the south of Jing Dynasty. As long as we move south to accompany the capital, we can have half of the country, right?"

Ren Pingsheng shook his head: "The martial arts in the south is weak, and it is very difficult to conquer the north from the south. Moreover, the clan forces in the south are deeply intertwined, and all the fertile land is in the hands of wealthy families. The imperial court will inevitably snatch benefits from these people when it moves south.

But such a small court that moved south has lost its inherent prestige. When the Jing Dynasty loses its deer and the whole world chases it away, more people will rise up, which will only make the world more chaotic faster and more complete! "

"The young master said it thoroughly. It's true."

Xiaowan squatted in front of Ren Pingsheng, raised her little face, blinked, and looked at the young master, her eyes filled with little stars.

Ren Pingsheng habitually stretched out his hand to rub her silky hair: "What Li Fugui said during the dinner should be a message for the imperial court. He hopes that after we take Yuntai County, a grain road will be opened to make the north and south grain roads of the imperial court smooth. .”

"Then we let them transport food?"

Xiaowan asked.

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "As Li Fugui said, the foreign tribes in the north are constantly holding back. These foreign tribes are murderous and treat the people of Jing Dynasty like two-legged sheep. They massacre villages and cities as if they were commonplace.

The food in the south is the life-saving food for the soldiers on the northern frontier. Of course we must clear the food channel, otherwise the Jing Dynasty will collapse, and the north will be devastated and ruined.

Few of those rogues can withstand the attack of the foreign tribes in the north. Then we will have to face those foreign tribes, and the north will become a no-man's land, which is not in our interests. "
