Chapter 117: Digging up spies
The wind was strong and the sky was high.
On the city wall of the Daimyo's Mansion, Chen Shou sat on a low wall, looking at the rows of buildings in the city, feeling comfortable.
This military town, which controls Hebei in the north, connects Shandong in the east, and borders Gyeonggi in the west, extends in all directions by land, connects the north and south by water, and has 150,000 elite soldiers. In the troubled times, this is a battleground that has finally fallen into his own hands.
After the soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion left the city, Chen Shou began to reshape the various government offices of the Daimyo's Mansion, and almost all of them were replaced by his own people.
These people are all the children of the Daimyo Mansion, and they are very clear about the big and small matters in the city, and they can take over the city as quickly as possible.
The Daimyo's Mansion and the Gyeonggi Kaifeng Mansion are adjacent to each other, so that their power has finally expanded, and the Daimyo Mansion is a military town, and it is also a northern artery, which can be attacked and defended, and it also solves the dangerous situation that the Kaifeng Mansion has no danger to rely on.
No matter who wants to attack Kaifeng Mansion, you have to think twice.
"My lord, you see that the army is about to leave, let's go down too, right?" Zhang He pointed to the distance and said.
Chen Shou looked at the gate of the city, the soldiers, horses and military formations of the Daimyo Mansion were quite neat, although they were not as famous as Xiliang and Liaodong, but they were by no means as showy as the previous forbidden army.
The soldiers of the Daimyo's Mansion hope that in the hands of Zhang Zhengyuan, they will become different from before.
This time to exterminate the White Lotus Sect rebellion was an opportunity for Chen Shou, not only to justifiably take down several states in Shandong, but also to train troops and hone in the familiarity of the soldiers.
"Let's go, go down and send them to the battlefield."
After the turmoil in the Daimyo's Mansion subsided, Liang Zhongqiu lost his role, and he was at the end of the line, and he couldn't even see Chen Shou's face.
Chen Shou's performance made Liang Zhongqiu understand? I fell for this thief again.
Frustrated? Liang Zhongqiu didn't have much to do, and set off with the large army.
Once upon a time? Is this his army? However, at this time, the military power has been completely stripped away.
I am afraid that the only thing he can command is the two personal soldiers around him? All these years in charge of the Daimyo's mansion, without the slightest kindness? It's too late to regret it now.
"Li Qian? You went to Bozhou, listen to Zhang Zhengyuan's command, don't be greedy and arrogant. We are newly loyal and brave marquis, to behave well enough? to be able to blend in with them. "Although Li Xian is old, he doesn't care? However, he is highly respected, and his prestige in the family of the Daimyo Mansion is unique.
He gently instructed Li Qian, and at this time, Chen Shou walked over, and the two of them immediately turned their heads, smiled and hugged their fists and said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”
"General Xiao Li? Although the White Lotus Sect is all ignorant and outcast, they have been rooted for a long time? There are many believers, and none of them are afraid of death. After you went? You still have to be more careful and don't underestimate the enemy. Me and Mr. Li in Bianliang? I'm waiting for you to play the song of triumph early. ”
Li Xian's expression moved? Look at Chen Shou.
Chen Shou smiled: "I have already asked Your Majesty?" Playing Li Lao is the order of the Chinese book, although it is not the purpose of sealing the official to make a wish, but it is also to show my sincerity. ”
"Master Xie!"
After the army set off, Chen Shou left a squad of Jin Yuwei and opened a government office. Then take the children of the Daimyo's Mansion and go back to Bianliang.
Outside Bianliang City, a large number of officials had already gathered to greet them.
Chen Shou took the Daimyo's Mansion, and the officials who were vassal to him breathed a sigh of relief, and from then on, they didn't have to worry about it anymore, at least there was a layer of protection.
In the crowd, only Huang Zhen's face was a little ugly, he approached Chen Shou, who was greeting the officials, and said in his ear: "Marquis Zhongyong, there is a battle report from Qin." ”
When Chen Shou saw him behaving like this, he knew that he couldn't say it in the crowd, pushed away the overly enthusiastic officials, smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone, don't hide it, I haven't closed my eyes in the past few days, go back and rest first, and we'll meet again tomorrow." ”
Everyone got out of the way, Chen Shou and Huang Zhen got into the carriage, only then did they change their expressions, put away their smiling faces, and asked in a condensed voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Shouzhou, Huaizhou, and Huangzhou are all playing, and the local White Lotus Sect is in turmoil, and the thieves are getting bigger and bigger, and they have reached the edge of uncontrollability."
Chen Shou's chest was sullen, and he slammed it into the carriage, "We still underestimated the White Lotus Sect, it seems that they are already all over the Great Qi, and they are ready to do it." ”
"The thieves are getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know how many places there are hiding their soldiers and horses. At least in Zhongtiao Mountain, there are also a large number of bandits hiding, this White Lotus Sect... I don't know what kind of monster it is. ”
"There are spies of the White Lotus Sect around you and me, and when I come back this time, I must find them out and get rid of them." Chen Shou said in a deep voice: "My deployment in the Daimyo Mansion was revealed to Liang Zhongqiu, and it almost caused us to fail. ”
Huang Zhen said angrily: "There is such a thing? The White Lotus Sect is really pervasive. ”
Chen Shou is familiar with the ins and outs of the White Lotus Sect, past and present lives, not to mention that the matter involves too many palace secrets, so he can't tell Huang Zhen in detail.
The Phantom Array sighed and said, "Although the White Lotus Sect is rampant, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying thing is that the local powerful people use this to recruit soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to control it. ”
Chen Shou laughed and said, "The world has reached this point, people's minds have changed, even if there is no White Lotus Sect, they will find a way to recruit soldiers. Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, and the current situation is even more erosive than at the end of Qin. You immediately go to Zhongshu Province and order the reduction and exemption of taxes across the country, abolish harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, recuperate and recuperate, and benefit the people. ”
Huang Zhen pondered for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Gao, we are benevolent and benevolent, and the local heroes will not abide by it, so that the people's hearts are in me, and the Hou Ye is a wonderful step." ”
Chen Shou unceremoniously put Li Lingfeng's plan on his head, and said: "Let's let them make trouble, take advantage of the opportunity to pacify the White Lotus Sect, take several prefectures and counties in Shandong, and then store grain, recruit troops, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity." ”
Huang Zhen nodded again and again, "Master Hou has this idea, and the lower officials will be at ease." ”
Chen Shou sent him to Zhongshu Province, then returned home, raised his legs into the courtyard, and was just about to walk to the door, the door creaked open, and a girl in a moon-white dress came out, holding a wooden basin in her hand, and a basin of water was raised to the courtyard with a "bang".
"Who the fuck... Hehe, Miss Xue, where are you washing your feet? ”
Xue Shao's face flushed, put the wooden basin aside, and bowed slightly: "I've seen the master." ”
"Haha. What's polite, how about it, are you still used to living? Chen Shou said this, a pair of eyes looked at people's feet, moon-white clothes, bloomer trousers, wide trousers loosely stacked at the ankles, two white little feet sucking a pair of clogs, lying silkworm-like ten little toes like a freshly peeled petal as crystal lovely.
Xue Shao hurriedly put his feet back, "Thank you for your concern, the slave family is very used to living." ”
After finishing speaking, she fled back to her room, she lived in the side room of Li Lingyue's courtyard, and there were a few little maids sent by Zuiyue Lou in the room.
Chen Shou looked at the back of her slender waist, rolled his eyes, and entered Li Lingyue's room with a smile.
