Lu Qiudao took two guards in civilian clothes, and after leaving the house where Hu Er lived, he went directly back to his home in Linxing City.

However, what Lu Qiudao didn't expect was that there was an uninvited guest waiting for him at home at this time.

Seeing this uninvited guest, Lu Qiudao's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he almost couldn't help but pull out the pistol.

"I don't know where I am, why did I come to the door today?" Lu Qiudao asked quietly.

The person who was called the head by Lu Qiudao was He Zhonghou, the director of the Intelligence Department of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

He Zhonghou and Zhenwei have a special relationship with Xu Wanpeng, and He Zhonghou's two sisters are Xu Wanpeng's concubines.

With this relationship, He Zhonghou won Xu Wanpeng's trust very much, and He Zhonghou was quite talented, so Xu Wanpeng handed over the entire intelligence work of Zhenwei Army to He Zhonghou to be responsible.

"I hope Master Lu can help me introduce the second Mr. Fox of the Zhou family in Ganyang."

He Zhonghou's words immediately frightened Lu Qiudao, and he quickly put his right hand on the pistol he was wearing at his waist.

"Master Lu doesn't have to be nervous, if I want to be unfavorable to Master Lu, I won't come here in person today."

Lu Qiudao asked in a deep voice, "What does it mean to be long?" ”

He Zhonghou smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Commander Lu must also be very clear about the situation in our Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion.

In the previous battle with the Fengwu Army, the family foundation of Jiedu Mansion had been squeezed dry, otherwise it would not have delayed the large-scale replenishment of several damaged descendant troops.

Moreover, according to the current financial situation of the Jiedu Prefecture, perhaps after a period of time, several subordinate troops will even have to be in arrears in their military salaries.

In addition, many of the following families who control the military power are very dissatisfied with the marshal's practice of ceding the Jingyang region.

Many cities have made it clear that they will suspend the payment of taxes to Jiedu Province for the next few years to make up for the losses of various families in the Battle of Jingyang.

Part of the reason why Dashuai is in a hurry to recover Jingsheng City this time is also to divert the contradictions within our Zhenwei Town. ”

After a pause, He Zhonghou continued: "The current Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is like a crumbling ship.

Since Master Lu wants to go ashore before the ship sinks, of course my brother and I don't want to sink into the water with this ship. ”

Lu Qiudao sighed in his heart: I chose the right one, it seems that Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is really hopeless.

"Where is the chief, how did you know that I had a connection with that Mr. Fox of the Ganyang Zhou family?"

He Zhonghou said bluntly: "Division Commander Lu, our intelligence department is not a decoration, and now I have evidence in my hands that dozens of officers are secretly in contact with the Zhou family in Ganyang.

However, the position of Division Commander Lu is the highest, so I came to Master Lu, hoping that Master Lu can help introduce Mr. Fox Er.

If the Ganyang Zhou family's appetite was big enough, maybe Senior Commander Lu wouldn't need to rush his family out of Linxing City. ”

After Hu Er saw He Zhonghou, he couldn't help but secretly blame himself.

I was too careless, and even a little rushed.

If it weren't for the director of the Intelligence Department of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, he would also have two hearts for Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, and if he didn't get the "ghost", he would have to suffer a big loss in Linxing City this time.

"Our Ganyang Zhou family has long hoped to make friends with He Chang, but there has been no way to get in touch with He Chang before, and I didn't expect He Chang to take the initiative to come to the door."

"Mr. Hu, although I, He Zhonghou, do not have military power in my hands, I can recommend a few people to your Ganyang Zhou family.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the help of me, Master Lu and those few people, even if the Ganyang Zhou family replaces the Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, there should be no problem. ”

Fox Er asked quietly, "What does the chief want?" ”

"Silver! 8,000,000 credits! ”

"Deal!"

On the evening of January 27, in the bridge of the Zhenhai, the flagship of the coastal defense fleet, Zhou Rui handed the secret message sent by Hu Er to Song Limin, "I didn't expect the situation in Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion to be so bad, but this gave our Zhou family a chance." ”

Song Limin quickly read the contents of the telegram, and his face couldn't help but show ecstasy, "Major General, this is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

If our Zhou family can eat a few descendant troops of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion in one bite, then Linxing City will be within reach.

And controlling Linxing City is equivalent to nominally controlling the entire Zhenwei Town! ”

The secret telegram sent by Fox Er said that thanks to the matchmaking of He Zhonghou, the director of the Intelligence Department of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion, the "ghost shadow" in Zhenwei Town can be said to have overfulfilled the task.

The high-ranking officers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Zhenwei Army stationed in Linxing City, except for the children of the Xu family, were basically taken down by the "ghost" money offensive.

In addition, the 4th Division, the 1st Mixed Brigade, the 2nd Mixed Brigade, and the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the Zhenwei Army stationed in other cities have also secretly taken refuge in the Zhou family in Ganyang.

Hu Er suggested changing the plan made before, and directly mobilizing the first, second, and third divisions of the Zhenwei Army in Linxing City to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Linxing City.

Zhou Rui pondered for a moment and said, "But if our Zhou family wants to completely control Linxing City, it is not enough to rely on those 3 infantry divisions that are prepared anyway.

We must send a force of our own Zhou family into Linxing City! ”

Song Limin immediately suggested: "Major General, now that Jingshengcheng has the First Infantry Brigade and the Fourth Infantry Brigade of the garrison division, it is completely possible to transfer an infantry brigade to Linxing City. ”

In order to strengthen the defense of Jingsheng City, after the troops of the 2nd Infantry Brigade and the 22nd Independent Brigade of the Garrison Division left Jingsheng City with the coastal defense fleet, the 4th Infantry Brigade of the Garrison Division, which was originally stationed in Ganyang City, was stationed in Jingsheng City.

Zhou Rui frowned and said: "But Jingsheng City is more than 600 kilometers away from Linxing City, and it has to pass through several cities in between.

Moreover, there are more than 17,000 people in 1 infantry brigade, and there is no way to guarantee concealment at all. ”

Song Limin hesitated for a moment and said: "Major General, maybe the chief of the Intelligence Department of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion will have a way, after all, he controls the entire intelligence system of the Zhenwei Army, which is equivalent to the eyes and ears of Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion." ”

Zhou Rui's eyes lit up, "Then send the First Infantry Brigade of the garrison division to Linxing City, and let Song Shenghe immediately contact Hu Er to discuss how the First Infantry Brigade of the garrison division can successfully arrive in Linxing City." ”

Then Zhou Rui asked, "Old Song, when will we be able to arrive at Xiangshi Island?" ”

"We can arrive at Xiangshi Island tomorrow morning."

"Hopefully tomorrow will be a good day."

Although Zhou Rui kept saying that he was not afraid to fight with the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Empire Navy.

But what Zhou Rui hoped to see the most was that the Third Fleet of the Silver Wolf Imperial Navy could take the initiative to choose to retreat in the face of the 6 battleships with full main guns and 8 battle cruisers that suddenly appeared.

I hope the commander of the other side will be more sensible.

He Zhonghou learned that the Zhou family in Ganyang was preparing to send an infantry brigade with a strength of up to 17,000 people to come to Xingcheng, and patted his chest and assured Hu Er: "Mr. Hu, rest assured, the telegraph room in Zhenwei Jiedu Mansion is all my people.

As long as I block the news, even if that infantry brigade reaches the outside of Linxing City, Xu Wanpeng will not know. ”

Fox Er said with a smile: "I can only let the chief worry a lot."

Where is it long, how about staying in our Ganyang Zhou family in the future? ”

He Zhonghou shrugged his shoulders and said, "With 8 million silver coins, I have to enjoy the rest of my life, and I am not ready to play those intrigue things anymore."

What's more, a person like me who can even betray his relatives, presumably your young general will not be at ease when he uses it. ”
