Between the cups and the cups, everyone was very happy. After Zhu Wen's heart knot was untied, he first saluted Zeng Yu with a bowl, and then drank a cup with everyone one by one, and everyone naturally responded enthusiastically. However, everyone knows that although good wine is good, it is not appropriate to be greedy for a cup, so all of them are accepted when they see it.

Almost the middle of the Dao is now point), everyone dispersed, but as the brothers of the first generation, Sun Hao and Wang Qing stayed, and at this time, only the two of them, Zeng Yu and Zhu Wen remained in the council hall.

is not an outsider, Zeng Yu brought a few people to his study on Jinniu Mountain, also behind the hall, when this mansion was originally built, it was used as Zeng Yu's residence in Jinniu Mountain, and at the same time as a place for deliberations.

"Zijin, Ziwu, you two sit casually, Chengyong, you also find a place to sit down, we are not outsiders, so we don't pay attention to those red tapes." After entering the study, Zeng Yu said.

"Big brother, our brothers haven't been together for almost half a year, I remember the last time I won the Taurus Village." Wang Qing sighed after sitting down.

"That's right, speaking of which, I'm still a little nostalgic for the days when we went up the mountain to hunt together in Qianlong Village and went down the mountain to learn." Sun Hao also echoed on the side.

"I think it's good now that I can follow my lord all the time. And now that the lord is also a county magistrate, every time I go out, I feel very satisfied when I see the happy smiles of the people and the grateful eyes of the lord. Now the ordinary people in Anping County are more and more recognized by Zeng Yu as their lives get better and better, and Zhu Wen has been following Zeng Yu, and he can feel the people's recognition of his lord, and he is also honored.

Zeng Yu heard the expressions of the three people, his eyes swept over, and he said, "When I was in the mountains, my original dream was to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, teach one or two students, and carry forward the knowledge of the sages. As the saying goes, the teacher preaches and receives karma to solve doubts. And in your spare time, you can go into the mountains with two virtuous brothers to hunt tigers and kill wolves, wouldn't it be beautiful! ”

"But the times make heroes, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If the knowledge taught by the ancestors cannot be applied to the people and cannot benefit the common people, then it is contrary to the spirit of the ancestors. Especially after experiencing the manifestation in a dream and knowing that Huaxia is in the midst of life and death, we have both knowledge and come forward, and it is the husband's doing. ”

"What the eldest brother said is right, we just feel that the leisurely years can only become memories. Besides, I can rebuild the Ruishi Camp, and I am expected to restore the glory of my ancestors, how can my brother not swear to follow my eldest brother to the death. Wang Qing hurriedly explained.

"Yes, it's not as laid-back as it used to be, but we're living every day to the fullest. It's just that since the destruction of Huanglongzhai, all the surrounding cottages have either surrendered or disbanded, so I have nothing to do at once. Sun Hao said with a wry smile beside him.

Previously, Sun Hao was mainly in Jinniu Mountain to analyze the power and relationship of all the cottages in Anping County, and formulate corresponding strategies, or divide and disintegrate, or persuade them to surrender and recruit, so as to exterminate all the bandits in the territory. But now that the bandits are all gone, Sun Hao is idle all of a sudden, and every day he helps Zhou Cang manage other matters in the cottage, but compared with before, he seems to have nothing to do.

Zeng Yu thought of this, he also understood Sun Hao's mood, he thought about it and said to Sun Hao, "Zijin, don't worry, according to intelligence, the contact between the various parties of the Yellow Turban Dao is becoming more and more frequent, especially in Guangzong and other places where the three brothers of Zhang Jiao are located, there are even Yellow Turban believers who form a team for training, and the more brazen they are, and the external news blockade is becoming more and more strict. Presumably, the Yellow Turban Road incident will be next year, and there will naturally be a place for you to come in at that time. ”

"Is the news serious?" Sun Hao has been on Jinniu Mountain, and he doesn't know the news from the outside world in a timely manner, and he can't believe it at first glance.

"This is the news that our spies just sent back, if it weren't for the secret of the spies, it is estimated that these news would not have been transmitted, and the imperial court must still be in the dark now." Zeng Yu explained.

"Big brother, I want to go down the mountain with you, anyway, now that Jinniu Mountain is on the right track, there is Zhou Cang for daily affairs. As for the unclothed army, there will be no chaos if Ziwu is here. ”

"Second brother, you just let me be alone on the mountain like this." Wang Qing was not convinced at this time, and he opened his mouth to shout.

"You don't come much, who doesn't know that as long as there is a sharp soldier camp, where you will be different. I'm different from you, now that the bandits have been destroyed, going down the mountain to Anping County is where I come in. Sun Hao said angrily, he knew that Wang Qing was just coaxing.

Zeng Yu smiled at this, and had nothing to say about their daily bickering, but he thought about it and said, "That's right, Zhiyuan has always been in charge of intelligence. However, on the one hand, he wants to establish an intelligence network, and he does not have many people, so at present, he is mainly only collecting intelligence from various places, and has not analyzed it in detail. ”

"Great, thank you, big brother!" Sun Hao stood up happily and bowed to Zeng Yu.

"Okay, okay, but Bonghyo sometimes analyzes some information according to my request, and you cooperate with him well after you go down the mountain." Sun Hao and Guo Jia have only met once, although the two got along well at that time, but the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, and Sun Hao himself has the advantage of being an arrogant person, so Zeng Yu still deliberately explained to Sun Hao.

"Lord, rest assured, I have seen Guo Fengxiao, his talent is no less than mine, and it will be more interesting to work with him." Of course, Sun Hao agreed, and although there was no first, Sun Hao and Guo Jia were also in the same category, they were good at guessing the approximate actual situation based on a little clue, and quickly formulated corresponding countermeasures, and they both liked to take the sword off the edge and were good at plotting.

Several people exchanged for a while, and both Sun Hao and Wang Qing were more interested in what Zeng Yu had said he would discuss tomorrow before the banquet, but whether it was a direct inquiry or a side knock, Zeng Yu was smiling and silent, which made the two depressed. On the contrary, Zhu Wen was more accustomed to it and knew the habits of his father-in-law, so although he was also curious about Zeng Yu's new ideas, he didn't ask.

After Wang Qing and Sun Hao went back to rest, Zeng Yu and Zhu Wen also stayed in this mansion, and there were a hundred Ruishi battalion soldiers arranged by Qin Fen to guard the mansion. Qin Fen and Xiang Zhi are currently the deputy generals of the Ruishi Battalion, and after the banquet, Wang Qing asked Qin Fen to arrange because he wanted to stay. And Wu Qin and Pei Yuanshao, as the commanders of the shooter battalion and the martial arts battalion respectively, have no doubt that Zeng Yu's safety is in charge of the Rui Shi battalion, after all, whether it is individual combat ability or comprehensive ability, the Rui Shi battalion is indeed stronger than them.

Early the next morning, according to Zeng Yu's previous request, all the people above the deputy commander level on Jinniu Mountain arrived at the conference hall. Because Zeng Yu hadn't come yet, everyone was speculating about what would happen, and some people even began to ask Wang Qing or Sun Hao to try to get some news from them.

"Ziwu, what did you say the lord was going to announce today, could it be that we are going to war?" Pei Yuanshao was more anxious, so he leaned over to Wang Qing and asked quietly.

"Told you, what's in it for me?" The relationship between Wang Qing and Pei Yuanshao has been very good since they went up the mountain, but Pei Yuanshao is too straight and is often fooled by Wang Qing.

"That's not easy, wait for the next battle, I'll cover for you, that's interesting enough, the credit is all yours." Pei Yuanshao said briskly, anyway, his troops are thick-skinned shield guards, and they were originally meant to be in front of others.

"Hehe, you're not talking nonsense, you've become clever, Lao Pei. However, to tell you the truth, I don't know what the lord is going to announce. Wang Qing turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao and said with a smile.

"You don't know, no, don't lie to me." Pei Yuanshao's face was incredulous.

"Believe it or not, I really don't know." Wang Qing saw Zeng Yu come out and replied to Pei Yuanshao.

"Everyone's here, I think you must be curious why I called you all here." After Zeng Yu came out, he saw that everyone had arrived, smiled and said.

Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves blankly, especially some people, such as Pei Yuanshao, who looked very eager, Zeng Yu did not sell it, and continued, "I came this time to give you a task. This task may be arduous and risky, and if you don't know if you don't want to participate, you can bring it up first. ”

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zeng Yu nodded and said, "Since you have no opinion, then you will be selected later, so you can't refuse, and don't regret it." I plan to select two people from among you and lead a team to Youzhou to secretly develop there. ”

"Wow~" Everyone couldn't help but make a sound.

"In this operation, I plan to select a thousand people from the Rui Shi Battalion, five hundred from the Shooter Battalion, and five hundred from the Wu Shu Battalion to form a team of two thousand people, and then select two from among you as the chief and deputy commanders. Because the operation needs to be kept secret, and Youzhou is too far away from Anping, you can only travel lightly with your team, as for the weapons, I will arrange for people to send them to you one after another, but the follow-up food and grass need to be solved by yourself. Of course, I will also arrange for someone to contact you, who can give you some money and food to help, but it is mainly up to you, and the contact person is mainly to convey news and orders. ”

"My lord, what was their purpose in the past?" Although Sun Hao knew that he would not go over, he knew that the actions of a force must have a clear purpose, so he asked the most concerned questions for others.

"Purpose, your primary purpose in the past was to gain a firm foothold and find opportunities to develop and grow, as for further requirements, I will arrange for someone to inform you." Zeng Yu replied.
