In fact, when Li Ru collected through the intelligence battalion that Han Cheng had issued an order to postpone the payment of military salaries for three days next month, he had a plan in his heart.

As a strategist, you can make decisions on the spot, but you can't make claims.

Li Ru came to inquire about Han Cheng, which was only the first step in Li Ru's plan.

The affairs of the family are very involved, and they must consult the lord Han Cheng before they can be carried out.

Although there are three paths to plan, Han Cheng chooses the first few and takes the first.

He is only responsible for making suggestions and carrying out the decisions, and the things he decides belong to the lord.

The second step in Li Ru's plan is to find out the news.

After Li Ru confirmed that Han Cheng had chosen the third way to deal with it.

returned to the intelligence camp and sent all the elite men under him, and even the thirteen guards of the Dong family who guarded him also sent ten people, focusing on the news of the three major families in Yanmen County: the Gu family in Loufan County, the Bai family and the Wang family in Yinguan County.

From the power of the family to the disputes within the family, as long as it is the news of the three families, it will all be found out for Li Ru's analysis.

Within a day, the sergeants of the intelligence battalion put the collected information in front of Li Ru's desk.

Li Ru opened the information and read it carefully, and after a quarter of an hour, a gloomy smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "Since this is the case, it is much easier to do, it is even simpler than I imagined." ”

......

On the second day, Gu Chun, the head of the Gu family in Loufan County, Bai Feng, the head of the Bai family in Yinguan County, and Wang Wei, the head of the Wang family, all received invitations from Captain Han Feng of the intelligence battalion, and invited the three heads of the family to a banquet at the "Victory Restaurant" in Yinguan County at noon tomorrow.

After Gu Chun, the head of the Gu family in Loufan County, received the invitation post, he directly threw it aside and said to the person who sent the letter: "What kind of thing is this Han Feng?" Worthy of sending me an invitation post too? You go back and tell him that I have something to do and can't go. ”

The messenger did not speak, but simply turned to leave.

After returning to the intelligence camp, Gu Chun's words were conveyed to Li Ru as they were.

Li Ru smiled and said comfortingly to the person who sent the letter: "Don't be angry, it's completely in my expectation." ”

......

After receiving the invitation, Bai Feng, the head of the Bai family in Yinguan County, thought for a moment.

"I heard that this Han Fengnai is Han Cheng's second uncle, and as soon as he came back from the Xiliang Land, he was directly appointed by Han Cheng as the captain of the intelligence battalion, and now there are only a few captains in the Fenwu Army, which shows that Han Cheng trusts him very much. He invited me to dinner in such a high-profile manner, maybe it was Han Cheng's meaning.

I heard that Han Cheng's Fenwu Army will delay the payment of military salaries for three days next month, so it is estimated that he asked me to borrow money.

In this case, if I don't go, I will leave the conversation behind, so it is better to go to the banquet first and talk about it when Han Feng mentions it. ”

He said to the person who delivered the letter: "Go back and tell you Captain Han that I am scheduled to go to the banquet on time at noon tomorrow." ”

......

After receiving the invitation, Wang Wei, the head of the Wang family in Yinguan County, looked at the person who sent the letter and said, "Is the head of the Bai family going?" ”

The messenger replied: "I don't know, I'm only responsible for delivering the letter to the head of the Wang family." ”

Wang Wei said: "In this case, you go back and tell Captain Han that Wang will go to the banquet with the head of the Bai family at noon tomorrow." ”

In other words, he told Li Ru that if the head of the Bai family didn't go, he wouldn't go.

But it was the meaning of the Bai family master not to go, he was just following the Bai family master's thoughts.

After Li Ru heard that the person who sent the letter to the Bai family and the Wang family came back to report, he said: "It is indeed the same as what was said in the intelligence, the head of the Wang family is the head of the Bai family, but is this really the case?" ”

......

At noon on the second day, Bai Feng and Wang Wei took their own carriage and rushed to the "Victory Restaurant".

Dong Da was waiting at the door, and when he saw the carriage of the two of them coming, as soon as he stopped, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The captain is waiting for the two of you in the private room on the second floor. ”

went up to the second floor and entered the private room, Bai Feng saw Li Ru, and as soon as they met, he said enthusiastically: "Let Captain Han wait for a long time, it is Bai's sin, I will punish myself for three cups in a while, and ask Captain Han to atone for his sins." ”

"Where, where is it, the head of the Bai family is too polite, and Han has just arrived. As soon as the head of the Bai family came up, he said that he would punish himself with three cups, in my opinion, it was the head of the Bai family who was gluttonous. Ha ha. Li Ru said jokingly to Bai Feng.

With Li Ru's joke, the tense atmosphere in the room as soon as they met was instantly broken.

Bai Feng was still full of enthusiasm, but he said: "Captain Han is so humorous, he is too good at joking. ”

Li Ru pointed to the seats and invited the two to take their seats.

After the two sat down, he said: "The first time I meet the head of the Bai family and the head of the Wang family, Han Mou will have a cup for the two of them." ”

Bai Feng quickly stood up from his seat and said politely to Li Ru: "Captain Han is too polite, according to the position, it should be the two of us who respect Captain Han." ”

Push the cup and change the lamp, the wine has passed three rounds, and the dish has five flavors.

Li Ru saw that he was almost drunk, so he said: "Call the two family heads to come today, one is that Han wants to get to know the two family masters; The second is that Han has something to ask the two heads of the family for help. ”

When Bai Feng heard Li Ru's words, he said in his heart: "Let's get down to business!" I knew it wasn't that simple. ”

His face pretended to be drunk, and he said: "Captain Han is polite, there is something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, as long as Bai can help, he will not shirk it." ”

Li Ru looked determined and said, "The head of the Bai family will definitely be able to help." ”

Li Ru paused, burped, and said with a disappointed face:

"Although I am the second uncle of Taishou, I am not in the same vein as Taishou, and my grandfather and Taishou's grandfather are cousins. In our generation, the relationship is even further away.

The reason why Taishou asked me to be this captain was just to help him raise some private troops outside the army.

I'm just a nominal guy in this battalion, and I'm not the one in charge.

My value was used up, and Taishou promised me to give me a sum of money and create a family.

But to create a family, you need land, and now the land in the four counties of Yanmen County has been divided by the untouchable people, and only Yinguan County and Loufan County remain.

Originally, I invited the three masters to the banquet today, because I wanted to discuss with the heads of each family whether they could sell me 100 acres of land, so that I would have about 300 acres of land, and it would be enough to build a family. I didn't expect the Gu family master to not give me face, so my idea fell through. I'm so disappointed right now. ”

Bai Feng heard it, "It's not borrowing money!" 100 acres of land, small meaning! ”

Then he said: "Don't be disappointed, Captain Han, my Bai family can sell you a hundred acres of land." ”

Wang Wei heard Bai Feng's words, and said without thinking: "My Wang family also sold a hundred acres of land to Captain Han. ”

When Li Ru heard the words of the two family heads, he looked grateful to Dai De, and said to Bai Feng and Wang Wei: "The great kindness of the two family masters, I, Han Feng, have no teeth to forget. ”

Suddenly, Li Ru's face changed, and he continued: "But the Gu family master doesn't give me face, I have to get it back."

I am new to Yanmen County, I am not familiar with Yanmen County, do the two of you have any handle of the ancient family master, if so, give me a use, I will say it in front of the Taishou, and it will not be a hundred acres of land to solve it at that time. The Gu family will inevitably be able to compensate a large amount of land, so how about I divide it equally with the two heads of the family at that time? ”

Bai Feng felt a trace of worry in his heart: "This Han Feng won't be to divide the power of our three major families. ”

But he couldn't say it, he could only say: "This matter is very important, how about I go home and think about it and give a reply to 'Captain Han' one day?" ”

Wang Wei never said much nonsense, only said: "I have the same opinion as the head of the Bai family." And he stopped talking.

Li Ru was still in that thief-smoked state, and said: "Then I will wait for the good news of the two family masters." ”
