"That's the way it is." Yu Kang raised the hot egg in his hand and rolled it on the blue and purple eye sockets, pointing to the map and said.

"Strange ......" Chen Xian frowned, raised his hand to a place on the map, and asked: "According to what Lord Liu said before, there are only two thousand rebels led by Tao Deer in this state, but they can occupy Jingning and Qingyuan counties. ”

"yes, what's so strange about that?" Yu Kang scratched his head and explained: "Ye Liuzong's army is stationed in the area of Pucheng and Jingning, and they can go north to Lishui at any time, and they can retreat south to protect themselves. ”

"What's strange to me is that people like you and me, who have just arrived, can see that the main roads in Fujian and Zhejiang have been completely blocked, and there are a large number of soldiers and horses left by Deng Maoqi and Ye Zongliu in Fujian to loot everywhere.

"That's right!" Yu Kang nodded.

"And now that more than 10,000 officers and soldiers have gathered in Lishui alone, but they have not moved for a long time, Liu Hua has led the soldiers and horses of the three provinces to suppress bandits for a year, how can he not know this obvious truth?" Chen Xian narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Maybe someone is getting in the way." ”

Yu Kang looked thoughtfully at the locations of Qingyuan and Pucheng on the map, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard the footsteps of his own soldiers outside the door.

"It's time for help." Chen Xian said lightly.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xian's words fell, he heard his own soldiers calling outside the door: "General, Lord Liu asks to see!" ”

Liu Hua followed the soldiers into the chamber, first bowed to Yu Kang, and then did not wait for anyone to greet him, so he sat down at the table by himself, glanced at Chen Xian at the same table, and stopped talking.

"This Chen Xingzhi is a gentleman specially invited by my father, Lord Liu has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Yu Kang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Chen Xingzhi, this name ......" Liu Hua only felt a little familiar when he heard this name, and then smiled bitterly, and sighed secretly in his heart - he has been suppressing bandits for a year, and he has not taken an inch, and he is afraid that he is not far from prison, and he is still thinking about something.

Thinking of this, he sighed, looked at the general soldier who was more than ten years younger than him with a serious face, and said slowly: "General Yu, this bandit ...... It's not easy to suppress! ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"Although the old man has no merit in suppressing bandits in the southeast, he is obviously aware of the generals' disobedience to military orders, which has caused today's situation......

"Zhang Shao?" Chen Xian looked sideways at the old man.

"Alas-" Liu Hua sighed faintly, and turned his eyes to look at Chen Xian: "It is true that the official's wrist is too weak, so he chose the most clumsy method of encirclement but not suppression, coupled with the yang and yin of the officers and soldiers in various places, it made this Ye and Deng Er bandits continue to grow." ”

"This official ...... Guilty! As he said this, tears were already shining in his eyes.

"Lord Yanagi." Chen Xian interrupted Liu Hua's self-pity and looked at him with a smile: "I wonder if the adults are willing to cooperate with the general and wipe out these bandits?" ”

"Naturally!" Liu Hua immediately expressed his attitude, he knew that he had been in the southeast for a year, and he had already lost his holy family, if the person in front of him could really pacify the rebels, he might still have a chance of life, otherwise...... I'm afraid it's going to be a disaster!

"Oh!" Chen Xian glanced at Yu Kang with a smile as if asking for opinions, and then said: "Lord Liu, as far as I know, it is impossible for all of your subordinates not to obey orders, such as Zhang Hai, the imperial history of Yanping Shoucheng, and Jinyang, the imperial history of Qingtian, who were also born as civil officials, oh, there are also military generals - the governor is also the governor of Deng Hong......"

Zhang Hai and Jin Yang belong to the same civil officials as him, and Jin Yang is his fellow countryman, so he will naturally fully support him, but Deng Hong ...... How did Chen Xingzhi know about this?

Liu Hua was stunned, and immediately gritted his teeth: "They will naturally cooperate with me to fully cooperate with the general army's plan to suppress bandits!" ”

……

After Liu Hua left, Yu Kang became more and more sad, he scratched his head vigorously, only to feel that the southeast was not only a mess by the rebels, but also a mess in the military and political worlds.

"Okay, let's ...... next," he asked after a couple of laps around the room, then sat down in a daze.

Chen Xian shook his head and said lightly: "Wait." ”

"What are you waiting for? Waiting for whom? Yu Kang asked one after another.

Chen Xian stood up and walked out of the door, his voice was flat: "Wait for the person who was taken away by you to take the position of the general soldier to come, if I guess correctly, I am afraid that he has already arranged a strategy to exterminate the rebels in Jingning and Qingyuan counties." ”

"Wait, let's go!" Yu Kangteng stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xian's shoulder, and asked anxiously, "What if he doesn't come?" How do you know he's already laid it out? ”

Wei Qingqing, who had been silent, suddenly stared, subconsciously touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, and then quietly let go.

"It's so late, overtime pay is very expensive...... Chen Xian turned around helplessly, pointed to the moon hanging high outside the door, and said with a wry smile: "If you don't come, let's invite him to sit in this general soldier's line." ”

Yu Kang frowned and continued to ask, "But, what if that Zhang Shao is not arranged?" ”

"Don't worry!" Chen Xian squinted and laughed, stretched his waist and walked out of the door, and said comfortably: "His arrangement will only be more, not less." ”

"Why ......" Yu Kang was stunned in place, his face full of puzzlement.

Chen Xian's residence in this county government is located in the northernmost canopy, next to the back kitchen, not to mention the darkness, and it is a little damp.

If it weren't for Liu Hua sending someone to send a brand new bedding, I'm afraid that according to Chen Xian's hedonistic character, it would be almost impossible to sleep.

Entering the door, Chen Xian lit the small candle on the table, and the dim light made this small room a little warmer.

"Mr. Chen......" Wei Qingqing cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Xian, and asked thoughtfully: "How do you know that Liu Hua will come?" ”

Chen Xian raised his hand and took off the square scarf on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Because this is the instinct of survival, and it is also the one that drives human beings step by step to get to where they are today...... and even the instinct to dominate the future. ”

"Instinctive?" Wei Qingqing leaned against the door, staring blankly at the spider hanging from the beam.

"Full of warmth, keeping warm is the instinct of survival, ** is the instinct of desire, and even those poor miners and peasants who rebelled with the White Lotus Sect are driven by instinct......"

"Oh......" Wei Qingqing replied with a catch, his right hand casually dipped a drop of water on the teacup, and with a flick of his index finger, the spider on the roof was no longer visible.

"Hmm-" Chen Xian sighed, walked to the bed, and tidied up the futon.

"What is this for?" Wei Qingqing asked in surprise.

"Men and women don't kiss, I'd better sleep on the ground......"
