In the middle of the moon, Liu Tie woke up from the meditation, Xiao Yu lay on the kang and snored softly, he quietly got up and went out, and when he arrived in the yard, the yard was not big, and when he came in during the day, he had already seen the surrounding environment clearly, standing at the door, his mind was released, and he soon noticed Yang Shuo's location, this guy was lying in the corner of the roof, and cleverly covered his figure with the help of the eaves.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er were not in this courtyard, the surroundings were very quiet, and the sound of the lake beating on the shore could be heard, and the sound of the piano was faintly heard in the distance, Liu Tie beckoned to him, and Yang Shuo jumped down silently.

"Shift change. Liu Tie's words were very simple, Yang Shuo nodded and whispered to him about the surrounding situation, and then entered the house.

Liu Tie didn't jump on the roof, Liu Han taught him a long time ago that if the opponent had the intention to sneak attack, the roof was the first place to be searched, so the best hiding spot was the most ordinary and the least noticeable.

The moonlight slowly passed, Liu Tie felt a little uneasy in his heart, according to the shopkeeper, He Dong should have come here in the middle of the night, but now that it is obviously past midnight, what happened on the island?

But it was quiet all around, and the noise had dissipated, except for the dim moon and the constant crashing of the waves.

Liu Tie didn't know what Xiao Yu was thinking, along the way, Xiao Yu didn't tell him more about the situation, Liu Han's order to him was to listen to Xiao Yu, but if his life was endangered, he could decide for himself and save his life first.

Just thinking about it, a few figures came outside, Liu Tie sat cross-legged in the corner of the courtyard, did not make a single movement, and gathered the breath all over his body, he was a master who was about to step into the realm of the grandmaster to restrain his breath, even if someone stepped into the realm of the grandmaster, he might not be able to find him.

The men soon arrived at the front of the courtyard, leaving two people at the door, and the remaining three people came in, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they left another one, and the remaining two pushed the door straight in.

"Lord Xiao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. ”

He Dong's voice came from inside the house, and Liu Tie noticed that the man outside jumped on the roof and sat down cross-legged on the roof, but he still didn't move.

As soon as He Dong arrived outside the courtyard, Xiao Yu knew, and he didn't understand why He Dong came so late and brought a stranger.

"This is Mr. Morwen. ”

He Dong looked at Xiao Yu and looked at the middle-aged scribe behind him, so he immediately introduced Xiao Yu that Mo Wen looked relatively white, his eyebrows and eyes were a little vicissitudes, and the gray robe was very clean and neat, but the slightly curved hooked nose made him look a little gloomy.

Mo Wen bent slightly at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu nodded casually, and then asked He Dong: "What's wrong?"

He Dong sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and then sighed: "We were fooled, Fang Zhen, this old fox," after a pause, he said again: "We all thought that they would launch an attack in the south, but we didn't expect that this guy actually started from Jizhou first, and we suffered a lot of losses in Jizhou, but fortunately, Jizhou Tianye Racecourse was reinforced, so it didn't happen." Hey, now they're retreating to Youzhou. ”

Xiao Yu frowned, almost all of the northern section of the canal was lost this time: "Who are the Cao Gang?"

"The news came that it was Fang Jie, the young gang leader of the Cao Gang, and several masters in the gang, the most important of which were the two gate valve families in Wei County, Fenglei Villa, and a few small sects left. He Dong said.

Xiao Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, he thought that the power of the Cao Gang was mainly in Jiangnan, but he didn't expect that there would be such a huge force in the north.

What's more, there are two more gate valve families in Wei County.

"Are those two families?" asked Xiao Yu.

"The Tian family and the Duan family. ”

Xiao Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, the Duan family didn't care, the Wei Jun Tian family actually joined in, this was an accident.

"Why did the Tian family get involved?" Xiao Yu asked.

He Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly, the Tian family is a thousand-year-old family, and the family has recruited countless masters, as well as thousands of private soldiers, and it is very troublesome to deal with.

In Hebei, He Dong is not without allies, the Grand Canal is thousands of miles, there are many sects that are red-eyed, Youzhou Tianye Racecourse is his important ally, in addition, the Wild Wolf Gang in Hanoi, the Iron Fist Club of Wei County, etc., are all his allies, but even if these allies add up, they can't catch up with the Tian family.

"Is there any news from the imperial court?" Mo Wen suddenly interjected.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Now the court can't count on it, damn, these bastards, they remembered that one is one and one play, and they played with us." ”

The internal guards pointed to a big change, and as a result, they were hung up and forced to face the Cao Gang.

The Cao Gang is strong, and they hit them by surprise at the beginning.

"Does Lord He have any plans?" Xiao Yu asked, this situation was too unexpected, he hadn't thought about it yet.

"Mr. Mo made a plan. He Dong shook his head and looked at Mo Wen, Mo Wen stepped forward, Xiao Yu motioned for him to sit down, Mo Wen didn't do anything, he was still standing there, he cleared his throat and said: "Fang Zhen chose to launch an attack in the north, in fact, his main force is still in the south, the offensive in the north, the Cao Gang's own strength is not used much, I judge that his main force is still in the south." ”

"Fang Zhen's purpose is to sweep away our strength in the north first, and he concluded that we dare not go north with the main force, because we must guard against their main force in the south, and our main advantage is on the water, so I will give the two big bosses three strategies, the best strategy, lure the enemy deeper, lure the main force of the Cao Gang into the lake, and annihilate it; the middle strategy is to launch a counterattack in the west, and this counterattack is carried out by the main force of the Wind and Rain Building led by the lord of Xiao Lou; the next strategy is that the main force will attack to the south. ”

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the north?"

Among Mo Wen's three strategies, there is no matter of the north.

"Give up the north, let the Amano Racecourse stick to Zhuojun, lure the Cao Gang forces to the north, and prevent them from participating in the decisive battle in the south. Mo Wen replied expressionlessly.

"How to lure the enemy deeper?how to proceed?How to lure the enemy?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"With some of the ships making a gesture of going north, after Fang Zhen learns that we are going north, he will definitely lead his troops to attack the Goddess Island, and our defenses on the island can kill and injure a large number of enemies, and then encircle and suppress them with a fleet. Mo Wen replied.

"How to fight back from the west?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"Counterattack from the west, my goal is the imperial capital," Mo Wen replied: "The imperial capital is an important rudder of the Cao Gang, and a blow to this place will force the Cao Gang to disperse the main force, and part of the troops will rush to the aid of the imperial capital, so as to create conditions for us to go south." ”

"Doing this near the imperial capital, the imperial court will not sit idly by. Xiao Yu continued to ask very calmly.

"It is precisely because of the reaction of the imperial court that I have made this the middle policy," Mo Wen replied, "The best strategy is actually the middle policy, but considering the attitude of the imperial court, I have listed this as the middle policy." ”

Xiao Yu looked at him suspiciously, and Mo Wen explained simply: "The upper and lower strategies are both passive defenses, and the middle strategy is to take the initiative." ”

Mo Wen hesitated and added: "This move is also to the imperial court." ”

Xiao Yu understood, to do it in the west, at the gate of the imperial capital, it was to blackmail the imperial court, you have to help me, the order was given by you, and now I am acting as ordered, but you have retracted, now you see what to do.

"It's a risky move. Xiao Yu said slowly.

Mo Wen nodded: "Yes, but once the fight starts, the imperial court is bound to intervene, according to the information we have obtained, the imperial court is preparing to check the land in Chen State, this is an important measure after the new monarch ascends the throne, it can be regarded as the first fire of the emperor's accession to the throne, it can only succeed, not fail, so, our move is to force the imperial court, and, as far as I know, the Cao Gang is also connected with some of the gate valve families of Chen State." ”

Speaking of this, Mo Wen kept silent, Xiao Yu naturally understood that if the Cao Gang was pulled into Chen Guoqing's case, the Cao Gang would fall into a catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but look at Mo Wen, under the light, Mo Wen stood there very calmly, his expression was still a little tired, his eyes were a little bloodshot, and his cheeks were a little sparse black beard.

"I have never heard of Mr. Mo's name before. Xiao Yu said slowly.

He Dong smiled: "Mr. Mo fled from Bingzhou last year, don't look at him as not famous, he is actually rich and rich, and he is full of strategy." ”

"I believe," Xiao Yu looked at Mo Wen and said, "Mr. Mo, in the future, your great name will spread all over the rivers and lakes." ”

"Mo Wen has no power to restrain the chicken, compared with the owner of Xiao Lou and the master of He Zhai, it is like fireflies and Haoyue, and the owner of Xiao Lou has a reputation. Mo Wen replied calmly.

Xiao Yu stood up and patted him on the shoulder, Mo Wen didn't move at all, he didn't cultivate, Xiao Yu knew from the footsteps they came in.

"You don't have to be modest, time will tell if my judgment is not wrong. Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Mo Wen didn't argue with him, hesitated and said: "Actually, there is another strategy, it's just..." ”

"Tell me, what else is there that is better than this?"

"Give the Cao Gang a hand in Jiangnan. Mo Wen said: "The main force of the Cao Gang is going north, Jiangnan is empty, this time is a good time for a sneak attack, but," Speaking of this, he hesitated: "It's just ,.。 ”

"We don't have any allies in Jiangnan, so I don't know if Lord Xiao can help in this regard. He Dong asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head without the slightest hesitation: "The power of the Wind and Rain Tower is concentrated in the imperial capital, and Jiangnan is still beyond the reach of the whip. ”

Mo Wen sighed regretfully, stepped aside, and stopped talking.

Xiao Yu looked at He Dong and asked with a smile, "What does Lord He mean?"

"Medium strategy. He Dong did not hesitate to say his choice.

Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where is the master of Changzhai?"

"He went to the city. He Dong replied: "The Changfeng Dart Bureau was attacked and suffered great losses, so he went to Rencheng to sit in the town." ”

"Ren Cheng?" Xiao Yu said and shook his head: "Ren Cheng should give up for the time being." ”

"Yes. He Dong nodded.

"Let him take people up to the north, make a secret U-turn halfway, and meet me in Baimiao Town, in Qian County. Xiao Yu pondered and said, "Does Wei County still have a dark rudder?"

"Yes, not ours. He Dong said.

"Can you be trusted?"

"Yes. He Dong's tone was very affirmative.

"Tell them to secretly investigate Fang Jie's whereabouts and find an opportunity to kill him. Xiao Yu said calmly.

At this moment, Xiao Yu is like the commander-in-chief before the war, giving orders, and He Dong consciously listens to his orders.

"In the early hours of tomorrow morning, you send a boat to send us to Dongping Guting Town, be careful, don't alarm others. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it immediately. ”

After He Dong finished speaking, he got up, let Xiao Yu have a good rest, and then left, from beginning to end, he didn't ask, and there was another person who went there.
