These days, who dares to talk to Lu Yao like this? However, even though Hu Liuniang has married a 'woman', she still does not change her pungent nature, and when she opens her mouth, she makes fun of it with a gun and a 'stick'. And there is a natural charm in her words, which makes people want to be angry, and they don't know where the anger comes from.

Lu Yao galloped all the way, just hoping that the backyard of the house would not catch fire, and that it would be safe and sound; Now seeing that the three of them are really talking and laughing happily, for a while, I only feel that the moment I hit the 'door' caused my whole body to lose my strength, and I couldn't even lift the 'spirit' of speaking. At this time, there was a loud noise of footsteps outside the 'door' of the courtyard. It turned out that a group of servants heard him yelling in the backyard, and fearing that something would change, they chased after him with swords and halberds, knocking over countless servants along the way. Finally, Ma Rui still knew the severity, and asked loudly outside the 'gate' of the courtyard: "General, what's the matter?" ” ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you all go and rest." Lu Yao felt more and more embarrassed, and made everyone retreat, and he sat down directly on the snow, looking at the blazing bonfire. After a while, he changed the topic and said: "It's so fragrant, good craftsmanship, cut a piece for me to taste, and I'm shocked." ”

"I'll give you a small piece to see if it tastes." Hu Liuniang pursed her lips and smiled, waved her knife to cut off a piece of "fat" and "meat", poked it with the tip of the knife, and handed it directly to the tip of Lu Yao's nose. The cold air on the short knife hit his face, almost making Lu Yao sneeze. This knife Lu Yao recognized as the blade that sharpened iron like mud in the Taihang Mountains in the past and shocked the audience. Who knew that Hu Liuniang used it as a table knife for cutting mutton 'meat', which was really free and easy.

When I opened my mouth and swallowed the piece of yellow sheep 'meat', I felt that the skin was crispy, the 'meat' was delicate and delicious, with a certain spice, and there was very little gas. Lu Yao didn't expect Hu Liuniang to have such skills, even a person like him who was absolutely jealous and shameful thought it was delicious. After eating a few pieces, my stomach was warm, and even the blood veins in my body were unblocked.

Hu Liuniang looked at him gobbling up funny, turned to the second 'girl' beside him and smiled: "No wonder this person is violent, it turns out that he is hungry ......"

Thanks to Hu Liuniang's uninhibited 'sex', the embarrassing atmosphere in the courtyard gradually eased. Ah Jue and Xian Yu's 'daughter' only then did they each salute: "I've seen the general." ”

Ah Jue didn't care, and reluctantly swallowed the mouthful of mutton 'meat', and her oily little face hadn't been wiped clean. Presumably, he was too strictly restrained by the county lord on weekdays, but he didn't expect to bump into Hu Liuniang and other Hu Lai, and he learned badly in the blink of an eye. Lu Yao, the 'female' of the Xianyu clan, was the first time she saw her, and she felt that her body was weak and pretty; although she was shocked, her demeanor was generous and very decent, and she had the shy attitude of a young 'daughter' when she first saw her husband, which had a unique charm. I heard Xian Yusi say that this 'female' single name is an orchid character, and sure enough, the person is as his name, as if the empty valley is like an orchid, which is both clear and 'glamorous'.

Rao is Lu Yao is resolute, and he couldn't help but feel a slight 'wave' in his heart, and looked at her fiercely before he said softly: "I'm a little thirsty, can I trouble the girl to get some tea?" ”

"Yes." Xian Yulan lowered her eyes and whispered, bowed again, and then got up and went to the back room.

When Xian Yulan's figure was far away, Lu Yao turned to Ah Jue and bowed: "I'm tired Ah Jue, you have been busy a few times, and you have worked hard." But I don't know what the county lord commands? ”

Ah Jue and Lu Yao belong to the 'friends' of distress in the Taihang Mountains, and later came to Youzhou on behalf of the county lord to summon the news, which was quite favorable; Hearing Lu Yao's inquiry, he hurriedly took out an ebony hairpin from his bun, gently split it into two sections, and then 'pulled' out a roll of extremely thin silk books with two sections of wax sealing.

The letter sent by the lord of Jingling County specially sent the 'waiter' and 'woman' secretly, and it must be extraordinary if you don't ask, and for a while, even Hu Liuniang stopped talking and laughing, and it was rare to show a little seriousness. But after Lu Yao took it, he put it away after a slight glance, and his expression was completely unusual. At this time, Xian Yulan led many servants and 'women' to come forward with teacups, and Lu Yao continued to talk and laugh with the three 'women';

The sky was a little dark, and many cavalry teams galloped out of the general's mansion, and those who were familiar with the military mansion knew that it was General Pingbei who was going to summon important civil and military ministers again.

Lu Yao's military government is now beginning to see its scale, and there are hundreds of civil and military generals with actual functions. However, there are only more than ten people who really belong to the inner circle, and they are close to Jicheng and can be summoned at any time.

Although Xue Tong is the deputy marshal of the whole army; Shao Xu has never been a counselor of military aircraft, and everything is unpredictable; Fang Qinzhi is a well-regarded advisor recently; Huang Yi is a capable official who is familiar with general affairs data; Zao Song and Xian Yusi are the old people of Wang Pengzu, and the other is the representative of the local Haoqiang in Youzhou, these two people were not originally qualified to participate in the meeting, but Lu Yao specially allowed them to come together in order to calm the hearts of local forces.

The rest are the highly qualified generals led by Shen Jin. These people may not have qualified political acumen, but Lu Yao still summons them whenever there is an affair, even if they are allowed to observe. He hoped that through the meetings, the vision and judgment of the backbone subordinates would be gradually cultivated, so that these initial, most loyal and reliable subordinates could grow together with the vigorous development of the military government.

When more than ten people arrived, Lu Yao set up a banquet to entertain them, and during the banquet, he didn't talk about the letter sent by the lord of Jingling County, but only asked the ministers: "The imperial court has awarded me the posts of general Pingbei and governor of Youzhou, and it has been more than two months. Lu Moucai was sparse and thin, thanks to the best of all the gentlemen, he finally took over the important task smoothly without major omissions. However, the next thing is still a lot of trouble, why do you think it is a priority? What is the urgency? Please also speak freely and without any scruples. ”

Before the words fell, Shen Jin got up from the table and talked eloquently: "In the past two months, our sergeants and soldiers have been working day and night, and we have basically completed the renovation of various fortresses and passes in the north of Youzhou, and the dispatch of various armies and the appointment of officers have also been carried out. However, the more I took precautions, the more deeply I felt that the safety of Youzhou depended on all ethnic groups in Dongyi. ”

"From Jicheng to the east and north, there are Goguryeo and Buyeo in the distance, and there are the Xianbei tribes of the Duanbu, Yuwen and Murong Ministry, all of which are strong and strong, with tens of thousands of armor. In the first battle of Weiyuan, although our army and the Duan Department won the fierce battle, the process was difficult, and the losses caused to our army were heavy. And the strength of the Duan tribe did not surpass the rest of the Dongyi tribes. It can be inferred from this that although our army has expanded extremely rapidly, in terms of strength alone, it is at most comparable to one of the five strong clans of Duanbu, Yuwenbu, Murong, Goguryeo, and Buyeo. Fortunately, the Duke of Liaoxi is loyal to the imperial court, and there is a feud between the Yuwen Ministry and the Murong Department, Goguryeo and Buyeo, otherwise we would be even more alone. ”

The famously ferocious general has been in charge of the defense of a large mountainous area in northern Youzhou that borders the Yuwen Ministry for some time. In this process, he obviously conducted a fairly in-depth investigation of the situation of the Hu people, so his vision was no longer simply limited to the battlefield fighting: "Therefore, what we need to do now is to contact Captain Hu Dongyi and Pingzhou Assassin Li Zhen as soon as possible, and at the same time, through the two-pronged approach of the Duan Division, coordinate the relationship with the various departments of Dongyi, or threaten them with a large army, or use the name of the imperial court to encircle them." Otherwise, it is impossible to ensure the safety of Youzhou. ”

"Lao Shen, you really think about it seriously and work weekdays, so you have some aspects of the meaning of the general. Good, good, a lot of progress. Shen Jin's ability to say these words was really a surprise to Lu Yao. So Lu Yao got up and raised his lamp to signal to Shen Jin: "I will replace wine with water, please drink a glass." ”

Shen Jin took a big sip of water and sat down majestically.

Since they are in Youzhou, the Xianbei ethnic groups in the east and even Goguryeo and Buyeo in the distance are the problems they have to face. Enemies or allies, suppression or exploitation, are just different options in the complex and subtle way of dealing with them. In this regard, Shao Xu has discussed many times with several civil bureaucrats, and Shen Jin is not the only one who has such insight.

But Lu Yao knows that Shen Jin's 'sexual' personality is the most straightforward, and he never thinks about problems in a twist and turn. With his war-loving 'nature', he would have proposed to continue to urge the army to go north and wage war with the Dongyi tribes who were unwilling to submit to the imperial court, but today he proposed to use the imperial court's famous weapons to envelop the Hu people, which just proves that he instinctively felt that it was difficult to urge the soldiers to continue to sacrifice their lives and forget death, and proved that the situation of no month and no war for a year has made a considerable number of backbone officers and soldiers in the army exhausted. This kind of exhaustion comes from the depths of the hearts of the soldiers, and cannot be covered up by rewards and promotions, and the addition of a large number of soldiers under the command of Wang Pengzu has made the centripetal force of the troops inevitably slip, which has exacerbated this fatigue to a certain extent.

Shen Jin himself didn't think about it so much, he consciously put forward a 'fine' opinion, so he looked forward to being arrogant, and he looked very proud. But among the rest of the civil and military forces, half of them 'revealed' their thinking expressions, obviously like Lu Yao, they all understood the current situation of Shima who could not bear the war in a short period of time.

"General Shen has an 'insight' to understand the situation of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, and he is worthy of being a general who is relied on by the lord." Among the Wenchen columns, Xian Yusi got up and praised Shen Jin first. Today, Lu Yao broke into the courtyard where he placed his young sister, which was a bit rude, but according to those present, General Pingbei seemed to be very fond of his sister, which made him full of confidence in his career; Even participating in the meeting of the inner circle of the military government for the first time was a little more confident because of this, and he couldn't help but speak enthusiastically.

echoed a few words, he changed his words, and said: "Recently, there is a nursery rhyme in Jicheng that says: The history of the two thorns in the east and west, the first governor of Youzhou; It shows that the lord has both the power of the land and the military power of Youzhou, and his power is already familiar to the people, and his reputation is far above that of the ancestor of the assassin. Since the autonomous government took charge of Youzhou's military affairs, it has been very smooth, including the collection of soldiers and horses, the rectification of border defense, the absorption of displaced people, the division of military cantonments, and the collection and preparation of grain, ordnance, war horses, clothing, and 'medicine' products. In just two months, the troops were sufficient and the people were safe. Duan Xianbei has even surrendered to our army and made a covenant to help each other. Therefore, General Shen has the foresight to prevent trouble before it happens, but the lord really does not need to be too modest. The subordinates thought that today's Youzhou was enough to deter the Hu people and ensure the safety of the northern frontier of the Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Xian Yusi looked at Shen Jin and continued: "We just need to calm down and patiently raise the army and civilians, and our strength will naturally gradually surpass that of the Hu clan." For now, it is better to let the Hu people do their own thing, and it is expected that they will not dare to provoke the majesty of the military government. ”

Shen Jin felt the weakness of the Youzhou Military Government in the short term, but he still planned to actively 'intervene' in the Hu people in northern Xinjiang and use active means to ensure the security of Youzhou; The two people have different perspectives on the problem, and the opinions they put forward can be said to be very different.

Lu Yao smiled noncommittally and asked the rest of his subordinates, "What do you think?" Let's talk about it too. ”

Huang Yi came out of the column and saluted, bowed and said, "My subordinates think that General Shen Jin's opinion is very reasonable. The various departments of Dongyi are close to Youzhou, and their strength is strong, and their leaders are ambitious, in case they become elbows and armpits, they may be in great trouble. Rather than closing our doors and being caught off guard, we should take the initiative and steer the situation in our favour. I remember that more than a month ago, when the lord summoned us to discuss the position of the military government, the Duke of Deyuan once said that just as he was going forward bravely and fighting with him as always, how could he be lucky and retreat as safe? ”

When Huang Yi was a small official in Ye County, he dared to take responsibility and had a resolute and decisive style; Now as a subordinate of the military government, when analyzing the general trend, he still likes to face difficulties, and this kind of 'sex' character is deeply appreciated by Lu Yao.

However, before Huang Yi's words fell, Zao Song sneered: "Huang Peng's ambition is very strong, as if the world can be transported in the palm of his hand." However, ignoring the current situation of the military government, he will 'want' to subdue the Dongyi tribes, in case there is disharmony, but instead 'provoke' the hostility of the Donghu tribes, Huang Peng has another clever way to retreat from the enemy? ”

He no longer paid attention to Huang Yi, and saluted Lu Yao: "The lord is wise and martial, so he started from the army, and he is also prosperous. However, the momentum of prosperity cannot last long, and the people are brave and afraid of losing the community, don't you hear Wu Ziyun: Ming Lord Jianzi, must cultivate Wende internally, and govern the military equipment externally, and then Xu Tu others? If you want to interfere with the Dongyi tribes, it will be like coercing Taishan to surpass the North Sea. ”

Zao Song agreed with Xian Yuhei's suggestion, and demanded that patience and strength must be the key, and not to 'meddle' in the affairs of the Hu people in northern Xinjiang, which is not for no reason. In the past, Wang Pengzu tried his best to be Xianbei, invited him as a guest, and introduced him as a humerus, but in the end he inevitably failed. Therefore, Wang Pengzu's old subordinates like Zao Song will inevitably have palpitations, and they really don't want to have anything to do with Xianbei anymore. He was also a well-known literati, and his words quoted from the scriptures and classics, and his eloquence was really difficult to refute for a while.

Lu Yao listened to their own opinions, and after a long time of fierce debate, he gradually summed up in his heart. He coughed lightly, stopped everyone's dispute, and then asked Xue Tong first: "How long will it take for the soldiers to recover their fighting spirit and 'provoke' their desire to fight?" ”

On the issue of military affairs, Xue Tong is the unyielding authority. He responded: "Now our army of more than 30,000 people, all of them are brave and good at fighting, and they only need another month or two to recuperate. ”
