Zhang Shumo, who had no countermeasures, scratched his head and said to Liang Jia: "No matter whether other cities can be pointed to or not, they can only be dead horses as live horse doctors now." I also ask Lord Liang to repair a letter as a county guard, and I will order someone to send it to Mengzhou City and Xiuwuzhi, as for whether they can send troops or not, it will be up to fate. ”

Liang Jia paused, but still agreed: "Okay, I'll write a letter, and we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

Leaving the county office, Zhang Shumo and others came to Lu Li's restaurant, since Lu Li followed Zhang Shumo into trouble, this restaurant is no longer open, and now Lu Li uses this place as a stronghold for the scout team.

As soon as he saw Zhang Shumo, Lu Li hurriedly greeted him: "I was about to look for you, I have already sent someone to keep an eye on the next city, and the people who were sent out yesterday are now coming back one after another, bringing back a lot of useful news." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Let's talk about the news first." ”

"A wave of deserters came from Xiu Wuzhi's side, fleeing from the east. "The old man still bought the exit, Lu Li stopped, and quickly changed his words: "Zhang Lu has already defeated the Eastern Route Army, and now he is gathering a large army and preparing to go south." ”

"To the south? Sima Xiao, the king of Zhennan, has already made it clear that he wants to fight against Zhang Lu? Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked.

Lu Li nodded: "Your Majesty hanged himself when the Eastern Route Army was broken, and the eldest prince fled to Sima Xiao's territory under the desperate escort of hundreds of forbidden troops. Now Sima Xiao has connected the eldest prince to the inner capital and supported the eldest prince to ascend the throne, making it clear that he wants to fight against Zhang Lu! ”

Zhang Shumo rubbed his temples after hearing this, it seems that his father has already deduced these things, so he will win over Su Han. Su Han controlled the western and northern armies, and after he surrendered, as long as his father solved the eastern route army, it was equivalent to controlling three-quarters of the territory of Huaiguo. But now that the situation in the northwest has changed, my father's plans have been disrupted, and I don't know what he will do.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo shook his head, the matter of Qinghua City has not been resolved yet, so there is no need to think about his father.

"Any other news?" Zhang Shumo asked again.

Lu Li shook his head: "There is no other useful news, but Hu Kun's team hasn't come back yet, so I'm a little worried." ”

"I'm worried about sending someone to pick them up, but I don't think anything will happen. In addition, I need you to arrange for two clever people to send these two letters to Mengzhou City and Xiuwuzhi respectively! ”

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside, and after a while, a soldier hurriedly ran in: "Mr. Zhang, Brother Lu, Hu Kun has caught two spies and come back!" ”

When the two heard this, they hurriedly greeted them. Hu Kun and his team escorted the two spies towards the restaurant in high spirits.

"Mr. Zhang, Brother Lu, these two people came out of Xu Liangcheng, and now that Xu Liangcheng is under martial law, ordinary people can't enter or leave, so I directly tied them up. This is a letter that was found on them. Hu Kun said as he handed the letter to Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo took the letter and nodded happily: "I didn't expect this scout team to make such a great contribution just after its establishment, congratulations!" You've worked hard, bring people in. ”

As soon as he entered the house, Zhang Shumo's subordinates said, "Take them down and interrogate them separately." After speaking, Zhang Shumo looked at the letter by himself.

The first letter was written by Liu Ye to Liu Kuang, mainly to ask why he did not report the battle situation in Qinghua City back to Xu Liang in time. So Zhang Shumo opened the second letter, this letter was written to a person named Wei Wei, the main content was to let Wei Wei keep an eye on Zhang Jun in Jiudu Village, no matter who Zhang Jun met, he had to report to Liu Ye one by one what he did.

After reading the letter, Zhang Shumo was overjoyed. Liu Ye asked this Wei Wei to keep an eye on Jiudu Village, which shows that Jiudu Zhai and Liu Ye are not completely of the same mind at present, so that there will be a drama in asking for help from Jiudu Village.

Lu Li, who was on the side, saw Zhang Shumo read the letter and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" What is written in the letter? ”

Zhang Shumo handed the letter to Lu Li, and then said slowly: "A good news and a bad news, the bad news is that we can't hide Liu Kuang's death for long, the good news is that Jiuduzhai and Liu Ye are not of the same mind, if we go to ask for help, there is hope!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo thought for a moment and then said, "Bring those two spies up." Then, he whispered to Liu Nature behind him, and Liu Nature turned around and left after listening.

After a while, the two spies were brought to Zhang Shumo's side, and Zhang Shumo did not interrogate, and after a while, Liu naturally came in: "Sir, the poison is ready!" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly: "Okay, give them two to eat!" ”

When the two spies heard this, they raised their heads: "If you want to kill, you will kill, it is better than giving us poison!" But Liu naturally ignored them at all, pinched their mouths and threw the poison in.

At this time, Zhang Shumo slowly got up, looked at the two of them and said: "The two of you misunderstood, God has the virtue of a good life, so I don't want to kill you, I'm giving you a chance!" It will take seven days for this poison to kick in, and if you tell me a little lie, I will promise to have the antidote delivered to you two in seven days! ”

The two looked at each other and looked at Zhang Shumo: "What are you going to let us do?" ”

Zhang Shumo smiled slightly, wrote two notes and handed them to the two: "I know that you are going to different places, so I will let you go back at different times, and after you go back, just follow the content of the note." Don't fool me, your general has our people by his side! ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo didn't care whether the two agreed or not, so he asked them to take them down. At the same time, he left to arrange the rest of the business.

"Lu Li, you quickly arrange for someone to send those two letters to Xiuwuzhi and Mengzhou City."

"Liu Nature, you go with me to Jiudu Village, let's go now, we don't have much time!"

When Lu Li heard this, he quickly knelt down on one knee: "Sir, even if Jiuduzhai is not of the same mind as Liu Ye, they may not necessarily help us, in case they want to please Liu Ye and arrest Mr., but it's over!" ”

Zhang Shumo sighed: "I know that it is a little difficult to get Jiudu Zhai to help us resist Liu Ye's army, so I am ready to give Jiudu Zhai a fierce medicine, so that Jiudu Zhai and Liu Ye will turn against each other." Although there is something wrong, there is no way to do it. Just go ahead and I'll be fine. ”

Liu naturally patted Lu Li's shoulder: "Don't worry, if he dies, I will carry the body back to you for an errand!" ”

Zhang Shumo laughed when he heard it: "It's okay, I will definitely hold Liu Tiantian before I die, and no one will want to run away when the time comes!" ”

The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched when he heard the conversation between the two, Lao Tzu is so serious about your good, but you are joking with me?
