The sudden news from Liaodong shocked Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou, and after guessing that it was most likely Huang Taiji's subordinates, Mao Wenlong was angry. The enemy army uses bows and arrows, and when it comes to the master of using bows and arrows, it is naturally Adou, so Mao Wenlong called him over as soon as possible.

"Adou, something has happened in Liaodong, and you need to go over and find a way to solve it yourself." Mao Wenlong didn't hide anything, he said it directly, and then handed the letter sent by Chen Jisheng to Adou.

"Chief soldier, please speak up, your subordinates will not hesitate to go to the soup." Adou didn't have any prevarication, and he was still so bold.

Mao Wenlong seemed to have expected Adou to say this, he chuckled lightly twice, and motioned to Adou to look at the contents of the letter before talking. Adou didn't dare to delay, spread out the letter and watched it immediately.

After a while, Adou put down the letter, looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "How does the chief soldier want his subordinates to settle this matter?" ”

Mao Wenlong first glanced at Hong Chengchou, and then pondered for a while before speaking: "This time, it is obviously impossible to use the army to enter the mountains to search for the enemy's traces, and the other party may have a lot of good bowers and arrows at present. Once the army enters the mountains to besiege it, it will inevitably cause a lot of casualties. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong showed a hint of embarrassment at Adou: "Do you think about whether you have given those damn rats a head-on blow without using the army to enter the mountain." ”

Adou didn't respond immediately this time, but fell into deep thought, he had already read Chen Jisheng's letter just now. He already knew the beginning and end of the surprise attack on the Dongjiang Army, and from all kinds of signs, it was shown that there were many people in the enemy army.

Therefore, this time, relying on Adou alone is obviously unable to give those hidden enemies a head-on blow. After thinking about it for a while, Adou looked up at Mao Wenlong and said, "Chief soldier, can you let me recruit some folk masters on the rivers and lakes?" If they can recruit enough men, their subordinates can be sure that they will be able to completely destroy the enemy without sending a large army. ”

Mao Wenlong laughed when he heard this: "Naturally, you can, if you need anything, you can say it, and I want it, I will not be stingy." ”

The corners of Adou's mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled: "I can't talk to the chief soldier about the specific requirements now, after all, the people who need to be recruited by the subordinates have some strange tempers, and the subordinates have to ask their requirements one by one before they can reply to the chief soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you to worry about." However, the affairs of Liaodong can't be delayed for too long, how long will it take you to recruit talents? ”

Adou estimated a little in his heart, and replied: "It won't take long, three days is enough." ”

"Hahaha, okay, that's it. Haoda will stay by your side these days, and he can meet any needs you have. Mao Wenlong was in a good mood and patted Adou's shoulder and said.

Adou nodded implicitly, and then said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, and with the company of Haoda, the two left the study together.

After Hong Chengchou saw the two of them leaving, he spoke: "Leave such an important matter to those rivers and lakes to do, aren't you worried about the general soldier at all?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled indifferently: "What is there to worry about, I believe that Adou can handle this matter well, and there is no need to worry about the rest." ”

Hong Chengchou opened his mouth to persuade two more words, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back raw, and finally didn't say anything more.

Let those unruly and uncontrolled people assassinate Jin Bing, although it feels impossible to succeed. But the worst result seems to be no loss for Mao Wenlong, of course, this has to be done on the premise that they do not make too high demands on Mao Wenlong.

After Adou and Haoda returned to their room, they immediately wrote twenty letters in one go, and then asked Haoda to send someone to send them out one by one according to the above address. Mao Wenlong said first, Hao Nature did not say anything, and immediately complied.

After the letter was delivered, he waited quietly until the third day, when Adou took Haoda to go shopping early in the morning. Haoda refused to do this, and in the end, it was Adou who dragged Haoda to the street in the name of doing things.

In the middle of winter, although it is almost noon at the moment, the streets are still deserted and there are no pedestrians. However, those restaurants and teahouses were almost overcrowded, and they walked aimlessly on the street in the cold wind for a while, and Hao Da began to complain: "Adou, where are you going, it's almost a morning." ”

Adou's expression was leisurely, reassuring Haoda: "It's almost there, don't worry." ”

Haoda rolled his eyes, he had been shopping for almost a morning, and he was not in a hurry, how could there be such a reason in the world. Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home to warm up in cold weather? He didn't think he was a masochist, just as he was about to leave. Adou suddenly smiled in surprise: "It's here." ”

Looking back in vain, following the direction pointed by Adou, Haoda saw that there was a small teahouse in front of him. There is only one storefront, two stories high, and along the way, every restaurant and teahouse are full, but the teahouse in front of you is empty.

The shopkeeper was napping on the counter, Xiao Er stood at the door and leaned against the door frame and yawned, looking at the teahouse in front of him that could not boost his appetite at all, and said angrily: "I walked around all morning against the cold wind, and you were looking for this teahouse." ”

Adou laughed twice, and then ignored the reluctance on Haoda's face, and after greeting him, he strode into the teahouse.

A cold wind blew and went directly into the huge collar, feeling a chill wrapping around his body. Haoda hesitated for a moment, and finally followed him into the teahouse.

The shopkeeper had come to his senses at this time, and was muttering something to Adou who had just entered the door? By the time Haoda got closer, the two had already separated. The shopkeeper greeted him at this time and warmly greeted Adou to the second floor.

The downstairs was empty, and there were already twenty people sitting on the second floor, and I heard movement from the stairs. The diners in the twenty teahouses turned their heads one after another, and when they saw Adou appear, everyone got up directly.

After Adou went upstairs, he quickly glanced at the hall, and then silently counted the heads, and found that there were no more, no less, just twenty.

"Hahaha, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting." Adou walked generously to the table in the middle.

As soon as he went upstairs, he obviously felt that something was wrong, and the twenty diners on the second floor, all of whom exuded a breath, were obviously not good matches. After thinking for a moment, Haoda quickly realized that these twenty people should be the twenty people who Adou asked him to deliver the letter on his behalf.
