"Your Majesty, what about the minister?" Xiao Fu was surprised.

"You stay and guard Xiuzhou!" Qian Hongyu rubbed his nose and said.

"But Xiuzhou borders Muzhou and Hangzhou, and I am afraid that I can't hold it with only 50,000 Zhendong troops!"

"Guard first, if you can't hold it, the widow will allow you to retreat and go to Taizhou to garrison." Qian Hongyu waved his hand.

Xiao Fu's face changed several times, and finally lowered his head.

"The minister knows, your lordship, the minister needs to deal with the defense problem as soon as possible, and retire first."

"Well, there you go."

Xiao Fu secretly sneered, turned around and was about to leave.

Suddenly, with a pop, a long knife pierced through his back and through his chest.

Xiao Fupin's best efforts turned around to look, only to see Li Yan behind him staring coldly at him.

"You ......"

With a pop, he fell to the ground.

Qian Hongyu and Chen Fei were stunned.

At this moment, a black figure flashed out from the darkness, and a cold short sword was placed on Li Yan's shoulder, which was the Night God.

Qian Hongyu finally reacted and said angrily: "Li Yan, are you crazy?" ”

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the minister has been secretly investigating Xiao Fu recently, and found that he has colluded with Cai Gao. ”

"Then you can tell the widow that you don't have to kill him, right?" Qian Hongyu clasped his hands in front of his chest, extremely angry.

"The minister has always wanted to report this to you, but you have refused to summon me."

"Then you just said that!"

"In that situation just now, if the minister suddenly said it, I was afraid that Xiao Fu would jump over the wall in a hurry and threaten the safety of the king, so the minister will cut it first and then play, please forgive the king."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan fell to his knees.

Qian Hongyu's face was a little ugly, even if Xiao Fu colluded with Cai Gao, Li Yan shouldn't have killed in front of him, where would his king's face go?

"Your Majesty, General Li's concerns are reasonable, Xiao brought a few lieutenants outside the door when he came back, if they suddenly broke in, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable." Chen Fei said.

At first, he was puzzled why Xiao Fu saw Qian Hongyu with so many people, but now when he heard Li Yan say this, he realized that he had already taken precautions.

"With me, they can't hurt you." The cold voice of the night god sounded.

"Forget it, they don't know you're here." Qian Hongyu waved his hand, and finally decided to let this matter go, after all, now is the time to employ people.

After a pause, he asked, "Then what to do now, won't the Zhendong Army make trouble?" ”

"Your Excellency, when the minister investigated Xiao Fu for a long time, he already knew what henchmen he had, as long as we quickly eliminated these intermediary elements, we could seize the military power of the Zhendong Army." Li Yan said calmly.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, as long as you can control the Zhendong Army, the widow will let you be the envoy of the Zhendong Army!"

"Command!" Li Yan said loudly.

That night, Li Yan made a sophisticated plan to summon all the senior officers of the forbidden army and the Zhendong Army to participate in the assembly in the name of Qian Hongyu and Xiao Fu.

At the meeting, he suddenly made a move, wiped out Xiao Fu's henchmen, and then took over the Zhendong Army with Qian Hongyu's appointment edict.

The next day, Qian Hongyu led 50,000 forbidden troops south to Wenzhou, Li Yan left 30,000 Zhendong Army to guard Yuezhou, and he led 20,000 Zhendong Army to Mingzhou to suppress the rebellion.

He knew that the Hui'an army would attack Yuezhou sooner or later, and he could only deal with the attack of the Hui'an army with all his strength if he solved the rebellion of the Shanha and Gaoshan people as soon as possible.

……

When Qin Quan came to Yuezhou, he inquired about it, and soon learned about Wu Yueguo's situation.

In addition to Ma Kongming, he was accompanied by four personal soldiers. He did not stay long in the city before he went out through the west gate and headed for Mount Rock Tou outside the city.

When he was in Muzhou, he sent people to Yuezhou to inquire about Ye Shouxiong's situation, and knew that he took his generals to settle down in Yantou Mountain.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Qin Quan found a village that had just been built, and he saw at a glance that the villagers in the village were all soldiers, and he thought that this village was established by Ye Shouxiong.

He got straight to the point, found a villager, explained his identity and purpose, and the six were soon taken outside a room.

The villager looked at Qin Quan and said, "Our leader is waiting for you inside, please come in." ”

Qin Quan nodded, explained to Ma Kongming and his own soldiers, and pushed the door in.

When I entered the house, I saw a big man in the house, dressed in linen, sitting on a chair, with his hands moving, weaving a straw hat.

"Qin Quan?" The big man's sharp gaze swept over.

"Come with me." Qin Quan said directly.

"Hahaha, it's the first time I've seen a lobbyist like you."

"And what about your answer?"

Ye Shouxiong saw his indifferent expression and said angrily: "To tell you the truth, when I heard you coming, Lao Tzu did have some intention at first, but after seeing you, Lao Tzu changed his mind, and you can get out." ”

Qin Quan didn't care, sat down on the chair opposite him, and said lightly: "I hope you understand one thing, it is Lu Jieshuai who wants to recruit you, not me, Qin." ”

"Then why didn't he come by himself?"

"He doesn't have to come, because the way he convinces you, not with his mouth."

"Oh? So how does he try to convince me? Ye Shouxiong sneered.

said this, but there was a little more expectation in his heart, since he heard that Lu Yuan had defeated Hangzhou, he still admired him in his heart.

Qin Quan handed him a piece of paper and said, "This includes the entire process of the establishment of the Hui'an Army, as well as the current experience of serving as the commander of the five armies. ”

Ye Shouxiong frowned and opened the note, and after looking at it for a while, he exclaimed, "Is this written true?" ”

"Absolutely."

Ye Shouxiong and Qin Quan looked at each other for a moment, believing his words in their hearts, although he was here to persuade him to surrender, his posture was very high, there should be no need to lie to himself.

Looking at the content on the note, Ye Shouxiong was indeed a little incredulous, such a powerful Hui'an army was actually developed from a city defense battalion of 500 people, and it only took two years.

But if there is only these contents, Ye Shouxiong will not have the heart of attachment, what really makes him excited is the experience of Meng Xiao and Yu Xun.

It didn't take long for the two to join the Hui'an Army, especially Meng Xiao, who became one of the five commanders by virtue of their military merits in less than a year after joining, which shows that the Hui'an Army is a force that is on the top by ability.

Ye Shouxiong is confident in his own abilities, and he can see his future in this army.

"Lao Tzu is going with you, but the surname is Qin, you have this temperament, I am afraid that you will be in the officialdom in the future." Ye Shouxiong scoffed.

Although he himself is also a violent temper, he also knows how to control his temper, and occasionally flatters others.

But Qin Quan was too arrogant, with the experience of persuading him to surrender, as long as he was wooed, he was likely to join his faction in the army, which would be beneficial to both of them.

But he chose this outcome.

"This is my business, and you don't have to worry about it." Qin Quan said coldly.

After the two went out, Ye Shouxiong called a few of his subordinates and explained on the side.

Qin Quan walked to his horse and stroked the horse's head gently, looking more interested in the horse than in people.

Ma Kongming looked at Qin Quan's back and sighed, he heard the conversation between the two just now.

For Qin Quan, he had always been respectful and distant before, feeling that this person was young, and after winning a few battles, he raised his nose to the sky. No matter who he is, he has a cold face, as if someone else owes him money.

In contrast, Ma Kongming felt that his sister Qin Youyu was much better, but this was only his previous opinion.

Before Lu Yuan came to Hangzhou, Ma Kongming had a small talk with Zhang Dezhong, and the two inadvertently mentioned Qin Quan when they talked.

From Ma Kongming's words, Zhang Dezhong heard that he had no good impression of Qin Quan, so he told him a secret.

"Qin Quan's indifference is all faked, he did it for his sister." Zhang Dezhong said this at the beginning.

Ma Kongming was stunned when he heard this, and he refused to believe anything.

However, after hearing Zhang Dezhong's explanation, Ma Kongming finally understood that he was still on the surface in looking at people and things.

Zhang Dezhong told him that in the army, Lu Yuan trusted the Qin family siblings far more than anyone else, and even for a while, he entrusted the entire army to the two of them.

In this case, as long as Qin Quan put a little effort into establishing personal relations with the officers, he could easily establish a strong force in the army.

Meng Xiao and Yu Xun, who later joined the Hui'an Army, were likely to be suppressed by him, and it was impossible for them to be equal to him so quickly.

But what happens when you do that? The answer is the suspicion that led to the knots that made Lu Yuan.

No matter how enlightened the leader is, as long as he finds that his subordinates have the power to threaten him, he will never sit idly by, even Lu Yuan.

If Lu Yuan decides to suppress Qin Quan, he will inevitably start with his sister first, and he will probably tend to be cold to Qin Youyu, which is the last thing Qin Quan wants to see.

So Qin Quan put on a cold mask and behaved unkindly in the officialdom, he hoped to use this method to show Lu Yuan that he had no ambition.
