Lu Yao received a secret letter from the lord of Jingling County brought by A Jue yesterday, and convened the ministers to discuss that night, and then asked Hu Liuniang to come forward to convene the old ministry and prepare to form an intelligence system for the interior of the Central Plains.

It's not that he plans to use the sword again, after all, it will not take more than ten months for the Pingbei Military Government to merge with the Youzhou Army, and both the logistics and command system need to be reorganized. Moreover, the system of the Great Jin Dynasty is still in place, and if the frontier guards act recklessly, they will become the 'chaotic' ministers and thieves referred to by thousands of people. The previous war with Youzhou was really due to Wang Pengzu's provocation first, and he was forced to do so.

However, when their own power has developed to this extent, it is like sailing against the current, and if they do not advance, they will retreat, and it is time to consider how to develop next. Fang Qinzhi's suggestion that Lu Yao lead the army to defend Luoyang in order to win the prestige of the world is a very targeted 'sex' suggestion. Before preparing for this initiative, we must first clearly grasp the reality inside and outside the court, so that we can react in a timely manner and act appropriately.

Lu Yao has always attached great importance to the collection of military intelligence, and when he was still in the annexation of the state, he appointed Zhu Sheng, a cadre, to be in charge of scouting and reconnaissance, and after entering the Daidi, he spent a lot of money to expand the intelligence system of Zhu Sheng's subordinates. It's a pity that because this aspect is still a short time, there are very few people who have entered the high-level of the Hu people, and the Hu people use cavalry as the main force and move extremely fast, so the two big battles against Murong Longcheng in Daidi and Wang Jun in the Bashang Grassland were both attacked by surprise and almost suffered a big loss.

After Lu Yao became the governor of Youzhou, he set out to form another intelligence investigation team. Using the caravan of the Fang brothers, he gave full play to the unique actions of the business traveler to collect information on the public opinion of the people in Youzhou and the prefectures and counties within the northern Xinjiang area, the movements of the wealthy clans, and the flow of materials. Although the three Fang brothers are sometimes funny and sometimes sycophant, they are all rare talents, and in a short period of time, they have quietly explored the situation in Youzhou. When Lu Yao convened the soldiers' competition, he subdued the visiting families, thanks to the homework done by the Fang brothers in advance. The military government has long been aware of the sons and daughters of the wealthy families who come to visit, who is strong, who is weak, who is worthy of being wooed, who can be intimidated, who should be 'lured' to high-ranking officials, and who might as well be killed, and the military government has long been well aware, so that it can succeed in one fell swoop.

According to Lu Yao's original idea, he planned to continue to extend southward with the Fang clan's caravan as the backbone. But yesterday after discussing until late, he suddenly had an idea: most of the old departments of Funiuzhai came to Jicheng with Hu Liuniang, most of these people are thieves who are not allowed in the imperial court, from Tiannan and Haibei, and there are many special talents of 'chickens' and dogs and thieves. As the owner of the village, Hu Liuniang must also be willing to give his subordinates a chance to perform, if they can be included in the military government from now on, it is much stronger than 'mingling' in the green forest.

Sure enough, he told Hu Liuniang about this idea, and immediately received positive approval, and the two stayed up all night to discuss specific strategies until the next morning.

Hu Liuniang was a vigorous and resolute 'character', knowing that this matter could not be delayed, so she immediately went to select subordinates, prepare all kinds of application materials, and ordered everyone to gather at the Juma River ferry in Quanzhou, and set off immediately. The reason why the gathering place was set here was also due to the suggestion of Hu Dazhai. Because the affairs of the three armies are incompatible, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The question is...... What's the situation now? Lu Yao vaguely had some bad guesses. He raised his hand to stroke his forehead, but he felt that this action was really not majestic, his hand was raised halfway into a fist, he waved it unconsciously, and sighed in his mouth: "Alas, Liu Niang, what are you doing?" ”

In today's Youzhou, the only one who dares to ignore the majesty of General Pingbei is the master of Hu Dazhai in front of him.

But I saw Hu Liuniang Zhou's clothes up and down for a long journey, with a sharp blade hanging from his waist that never left his body, one hand was high and pine, and under the light of the fire, his eyes became more and more radiant: "How can such a big event be without me?" ”

She turned around and waved her finger: "You see, the twenty people who were picked out to walk with me this time are all old brothers in the barberry village, loyal and reliable, and have a tacit understanding with each other, and they are all from the Central Plains and Sizhou, familiar with the local situation, and will never make mistakes." I plan to enter Jizhou first, then Wei County, then cross the river to the south, pass through Ruying and other places, and finally set foot in Luoyang. When they passed through their respective townships on the way, they separated separately, first relying on the township party figures they were familiar with to settle down, and then began to contact the local wealthy 'families' or government offices to start collecting intelligence. The specific means is as you said last night, which is nothing more than 'pull it out and get it in' two ways......"

Lu Yao looked at Hu Liuniang's high-spirited appearance, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Okay, it's very appropriate." On the way south, if there are any special circumstances, I will naturally be the master for you. However, it is better to keep a low profile, and try not to be public......"

After a few long-winded words, he reacted, so he suddenly stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around Hu Liuniang's waist and led her to the other side of the road.

The contemporary atmosphere is not as rigorous and restrained as the former Han Dynasty, but it is a bit out of place to be so close to the public. Ma Rui, Zhang Zhaizhu and others, who were closer to the two, turned around in fright and hurriedly withdrew a few steps. Thinking about the strong wind at night, lest a few words be blown into his ears by the wind, he retreated, retreated, and led a group of people to give way dozens of steps away.

Lu Yao couldn't care about it, and this move was already close to the end. He lowered his voice slightly, and asked again impatiently, "Liuniang, what are you doing?" ”

"How can such a big thing be without me?" Hu Liuniang patted the treasure knife on her waist and repeated her original answer. Looking up at Lu Yao's serious look, she smiled reluctantly, and whispered again: "I am the master of the village, and I don't let my brothers get into danger, and I enjoy the truth of wealth and wealth by myself." ”

Lu Yao was stunned: "Lu Rui, everyone in Funiu Village is just going to find out some news." The Central Plains and Luoyang are all under the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty, if there is an emergency, the brothers can bring out the name of my Youzhou Military Mansion, where can it be considered a risk? You don't have to worry, the reason why I repeatedly told them is just that I hope they will be cautious, so as not to ......" Speaking of this, he took the pine torch from Hu Liuniang's hand, put it on an old branch near the left, turned his head, held Hu Liuniang's hands and said softly: "Although we are newly married these days, the wedding is really too simple, not to mention that I am too busy during the day, and I have not been with you well, so do you blame me for this green stamen?" Or, could it be that Ah Jue said something yesterday that made you unhappy? Alas, the winter night is cold, and my hands are cold, so you might as well go back with me first, what do we have to do, let's talk slowly? ”

For Hu Liuniang, Lu Yao does have a special love. She has lived in the thief's den for a long time, and her words and deeds are outstanding, sometimes making her colleagues look sideways, but Lu Yao not only gives her a lot of grace, but also sees her mood and enjoys it. Maybe it's because of her extremely independent and self-reliant attitude, which is very similar to Lu Yao's familiar modern 'female' and 'sexual' demeanor. At this time, Hu Liuniang suddenly put on a posture to lead the team south, Lu Yao was surprised, but he didn't even feel any anger.

Hu Liuniang thought that she was acting a little excessively, and she was even more prepared to argue with Lu Yao. At this moment, listening to his words and self-blame, he couldn't help but be greatly moved, and held Lu Yao's palm with his backhand: "Lu Lang, don't think too much, listen to my explanation." ”

Lu Yao was about to say something more, Hu Liuniang shook his head, and continued to take care of himself: "When I was not in the middle of my age, my father was killed by the enemy on the green forest road, and the old department was helpless, so I was recommended to be the master of Funiu Village. Since I am in this position, I always keep the 'sexual' life and future of thousands of people in the village in mind, and I have also been born and died countless times, fighting for my life, so I dare to claim to be the leader of the Taihang Green Forest, not bullied by ordinary people. It's a pity that a few years later, the world is in chaos, the Hu people are raging, and even if the Funiu Village tries its best, it will inevitably overturn after all. Later, I thought about it and often hated myself as a 'woman', even though I had ambitions and talents, but after all, I was limited by many natural conditions, and I couldn't use all my means to turn things around. ”

"To tell you the truth, when I first met you, I didn't take you to heart. Later, you became a general under the command of the Assassin of Bingzhou, and were ordered to send an envoy to Yecheng, and by coincidence, you and I met again. At that time, I took the rest of the barberry village to run around the country, and I had reached a desperate situation, and I was already planning to either kill the official and rebel, and ask for a happy death; Either 'sex' and 'temptation' to be too conservative with the party, in order to seek food for the people in the village. Fortunately, Wen Taizhen only asked me to contact Lu Lang in the center of the trip to the county, but he is a rare upright person......" Hu Liuniang chuckled: "Later, Lu Lang moved to the north and south, and during this period, he did not have any scruples because of my identity, and successively gave me heavy responsibilities and allowed me to summon my old subordinates to live in the Daidi, this kindness is more than what Wen Taizhen gave." Although I never thanked me in person, I secretly thought about repaying it with my body, and I even looked forward to marrying a hero like Lu Lang, even if I was just a concubine, I would have no regrets. I didn't expect that the sky was pitiful, and Pu Liu's posture could be favored by heroes, and his wish came true. ”

"Alas, Liuniang don't look down on herself like this, I should say that I am fortunate to have your favor." In the past few days, Lu Yao's articulate degree has improved greatly, and he hurriedly responded with sweet words.

Hu Liuniang said a heavy topic, but her demeanor was as charming as ever, and when she heard Lu Yao's flattery, she smacked as if she was smiling before saying: "Lu Lang is so considerate to me, which makes me feel both satisfied and often frightened." Although the concubine does not read, she also knows that there are clouds in the scriptures, and those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. Another sage said: It is difficult to know, not to see others, but to see yourself. Last night, I tossed and turned, upset and 'chaotic', always remembering that I had been through wind and frost for a long time, and the youth was about to pass away, how long can the youthful 'spring' style last? What's more, I'm just a bandit after all, so why should I compete with the noble 'daughter' of the royal family and the family for the favor of my husband?

After a long time, it is a bit excessive. Hu Liuniang is in her twenties, and it is the most beautiful time for Fengyun. Thinking too far is suspected of worrying about the sky. And the so-called "noble 'daughter' of the royal family and the big family surname"...... With the arrogance of the lord of Hu Dazhai, the surname of the family is worthless in her eyes, where will she put the little lady who is not at home in her eyes? Seeing that she had a happy eating posture with Xian Yulan and A Jue yesterday, even if Xian Yulan married into Lu 'Gate', it would be impossible for her to have the upper hand in front of Hu Liuniang. Only the noble person who is standing behind Ah Jue who is familiar enough with her will arouse such a 'fierce' vigilance and emotion. Lu Yao laughed miserably, knowing that after all, it was the trouble caused by Ah Jue's visit: "Then you don't have to ......"

Hu Liuniang interrupted Lu Yao's words again: "This time I sent people south, of course, to find out the news, but you and I both know that if you are only limited to finding out the news, then you will be inferior; At present, although there are many civil and military officials in the military government, there is absolutely no one who can handle this matter properly like me. Since Lu Jun can use the courage of a 'woman' as a cangcao and the 'chest' of accepting the leader of the bandits as a concubine, why not allow me to act recklessly again, and what can I do for your ambitions? ”

Hearing Hu Liuniang say this, Lu Yao's expression was slightly grim.

The four words of grand ambition were also said by Fang Qinzhi yesterday. Fang Qinzhi's ambition was due to his participation in the operation of the core of the military government and the results of a close analysis of Lu Yao's means and goals. And the grand ambition that Hu Liuniang said originated from the relevant instructions of Lu Yao to prepare for the southward manpower after Lu Yao showed her the secret letter of the county lord of Jingling last night. Obviously, Hu Liuniang is also a very smart person.

The problem is that Hu Liuniang has already married into Lu 'Gate' and become her own concubine, and it is really shocking to let her go away at this time. Lu Yao took a deep breath and exhaled again, trying to persuade her to think about it carefully. Seeing that Hu Liuniang's face was not only bright, but the whole person seemed to be shining because of the heavy responsibility, he suddenly felt that he thought that a strange 'girl' like Hu Liuniang would be confined to trivial matters in the inner courtyard, I am afraid that he had thought wrongly.

Lu Yao took a step forward, took Hu Liuniang tightly into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "My analysis of the current situation was told to you last night. If you go to as little as three months, or as much as half a year, there will be results, you don't need to act deliberately in Luoyang, as long as you push the 'waves' in a timely manner. In addition, since you have personally gone out, the arrangement of recruiting subordinates one after another after arriving in the Central Plains is too inappropriate......"

Lu Yao let go of his arms, turned around and asked, "Ma Rui!" ”

"The last general!" Ma Rui responded loudly. Lu Yao suddenly rode out at night and came to the bank of the Juma River, which almost crossed the border of Youzhou Prefecture, which scared him enough as the commander of the army. Along the way, he and his subordinates unsheathed their knives and wound their arrows, and their expressions were tense to the extreme, but they didn't dare to persuade Lu Yao to turn back. Hearing Lu Yao's call, he hurriedly ran from a distance, and by the way, he waved his subordinates to get on the horse, and then responded to Lu Yao's order.

Unexpectedly, I heard Lu Yao say sharply: "If there is any important matter at hand, immediately 'hand' it over to your colleagues." Then select ten other 'elite' cadres, and you will lead them south with Mrs. Hu. Protect the safety of Mrs. Hu along the way, and in addition, everything is under orders, and you must not make arbitrary claims! ”

Ma Rui thought he had misheard, shook his head, and then bowed down to receive the order: "Obey!" ”

"What are you doing? Go pick someone! ”

"Yes! Be! ”

Ma Rui went to select his subordinates, and Hu Liuniang also bowed down: "Hu Liuniang respects the lord's orders, and he will live up to expectations!" ”

At this time, Lu Yao became the lord in her mouth instead of Lang Jun. Lu Yao looked at Hu Liuniang for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "I have nothing to tell you, no matter what, please protect yourself." As little as three months, at most half a load...... I will lead my army south! ”

******

Hmph, who knows where Lu Yao got the confidence to lead the troops south? Who can guess what is written in the county lord's secret letter? Hmph, I'm sure no one can guess this time! Hahaha, this crab is invincible in the world hahahaha......
