Luojiang Mansion, the newly rebuilt Luojiang Governor's Mansion.

Su Lu wore a normal robe, stood under the corridor by the water pavilion, and introduced Li Qing in a relaxed tone.

"The water in this is brought from the Luo River, if the Qi people have the heart and want to ambush us, they only need to pass through the waterway to enter this Governor's Mansion."

Li Qing is Luan drove here, declared his sovereignty over the Liangjiang region, and there were countless ministers with him, and now Luojiang Mansion really threw a brick down, and at least two of the three people were servants.

Looking at the clear flowing water, Li Qingzhan smiled.

"That's not possible, this is the Governor's Mansion, if you really enter the master to ambush the officials I appointed, wouldn't it be a loss of face for my Han Kingdom."

Su Lu laughed: "That's naturally good, we have a reason to cross the Luojiang Bridge, enter the territory of the Qi Kingdom, and search for the person who assassinated the important members of my Han Kingdom." ”

Li Qing raised his eyebrows: "You want to?" ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "Just think about it, we won't necessarily have a war with the Qi country, the Qi country is in dire straits now, there are Yingtes in the sea, Tang people in the west, and Chu people in the southwest, all of whom are eyeing him." ”

"Give Qi people a few guts now, and they won't come to us for trouble, except for some guys who are plotting to blame."

Before the words fell, Su Lu pulled Li Qing and stepped back.

Cao Cao, who came from behind, waved his hand, and two ballista artillerymen carried a ballista forward and set it up on the railing of the water pavilion, and Cao's hand pressed on the trigger of the ballista.

"Poof"

The black crossbow bolt entered the water, and the sound was extremely soft.

A moment later, a blood-colored splash rose on the surface of the water, and a stream of water shook underwater, pulling a blood line on the surface of the water and disappearing.

Li Qing smiled and said, "Cao Jie, your crossbow arrow is not good, you didn't shoot the assassin to death." ”

Cao Jian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this crossbow arrow is not used to break armor, the strength is insufficient, it can enter the water and hurt people, it is already very good, and the commonly used crossbow arrows are difficult to even enter the water, let alone hurt people." ”

Su Lu raised his foot and gave Cao a kick: "Okay, I want the silver to say clearly, I beat around the bush, Your Majesty is here today, approve you 10,000 taels, is it enough?" ”

Cao Jiemei smiled: "Enough is enough, the mountain chief said enough, then it is naturally enough." ”

After another kick, Cao Jian smiled and helped the two ballistae carry the ballista away.

The guards and Ouchi guards moved one after another, daring to make trouble in the heavily defended Governor's Mansion, these people are tired of being crooked, the Ouchi guards alone are enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention the more perverted Praetorian Guards.

Li Qing watched the Praetorian Guards move, and asked Su Lu: "The strength of every sergeant in this Praetorian Guard seems to be very strong, is it newly formed by you?" ”

Su Lu glanced at the Ouchi guard who was pulling at the back, "Yes, there are not enough masters in the army, and in special circumstances, some small scenes, it is not worth sending a large number of troops, this Praetorian Guard is suitable." ”

Li Qing became curious: "I heard that some time ago, you sent the Praetorian Guards to carry out the beheading mission, and they don't seem to have established any merits." ”

Su Lu looked at the Luan driving attendant officials on the side, shook his head and said, "Who is chewing the root of your tongue in your ear, Dazong Zheng Li Weiyuan." ”

Su Lu snorted, and his face became cold.

"I'm fighting outside, and I'm still going to be slandered by these people, if it weren't for you and I being one, you wouldn't have told me these words, it chilled the heart of a general of the unified army, you know the consequences."

Li Qing grabbed Su Lu's arm: "The last time I went to the mother's harem, this great sect was also there, so I had no choice but to listen to him say a few words, I knew it was not a good word, but there was always a little pimple in my heart." ”

Su Lu nodded: "That's okay, this Praetorian Guard will change its establishment in the future, no longer called the Praetorian Guard, the highest establishment of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, no longer set up a battalion captain, set up a Praetorian Guard battalion commander, and the rank is determined according to the merits, so you are satisfied."

Li Qing narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I know that Su Lu is the best for you." However, if the Praetorian Guard Battalion is not formed, will it affect your use of the Praetorian Guard Battalion? ”

Su Lu glanced at Da Zongzheng in the crowd, and said with a smile: "Of course it has an impact, in this way, if you remove Da Zongzheng, I won't be angry." ”

Li Qing's eyebrows lit up: "Okay, I'm also dissatisfied with this great sect, I gave up my face once, let me pardon Li Ling, and even wanted to come a second time, really when the holy decree was opened by his family." ”

"This time I captured the Liangjiang region, you went back to Beijing to rest and rest, you have been fighting abroad all the year round, you are all injured, and when you return to Beijing, I will give you a good recuperation."

"And Su Yun, what a big girl, it's time to get married, I beg the officials of all the ministries and generals who come to me, let her go back to see her too, she always runs in the army, what if she can't marry in the future."

Su Lu criticized Li Qing: "You're not right, who said that women are not as good as men, Su Yundani and they drove the birds very steadily, and in the battle with the Interns, the birds of our army also showed their upper hand." ”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Then it also depends on who is in command, if you are in command, there is naturally no problem, if you change people, then it is not necessarily." ”

"A few days ago, Cao Hua commanded the army, the Flying Bird Battalion and the Ballista Battalion were all under her command, what is the final result, it is not a mess, if it is not for you to have the result here, the battle of Dangshan may not be fought."

Su Lu was speechless, in the battle of Dangshan, the ballista battalion lost seventy-six ballistas, and the ballista battalion had a total of one hundred and two ballistae, which was mostly lost in one fell swoop.

The damage of the birds is even more exaggerated, counting the ones that were knocked down, and the ones that fell from their own homes, the eighteen birds were damaged by fifteen.

Su Lu is also helpless about Li Qing's fall, Cao Hua commands the army alone, how can he be worse than Li Kun and Su Ping.

One of the guards hurried and rushed over.

"Report, Your Majesty, Lord Wang, Xiting urgently."

Changning stepped forward and took it.

Li Qing quickly took the military report from Changning's hand, tore open the seal and read it carefully.

"Something happened to Xiting"

After reading the military newspaper and handing it to Su Lu, Li Qing's face turned pale.

Xiting Governor Qian did not report urgently, the Tang army Xie Ruyu broke into the Shuangmiao City, and the barbarians had a war, Xie Ruyu caused the water to the east, and the defeated army rushed to the Shuangfo City, and the barbarian army was re-introduced to the Shuangfo City.

The barbarians attacked the city twice, and the armies of the Shuangfo City suffered heavy losses, and the guards who supported the Shuangmiao and Yulong Zhucheng were all folded in the Shuangfo City Defense.

Hua Xun was seriously injured and unconscious, Qian Buzhou came to command in person, and he was seriously injured and couldn't get off the city wall, but he only held on to two sets.

It's only a matter of time before the city breaks.

Su Lu's face was full of helplessness: "I also want to rest, but he doesn't allow it." ”

Li Qing's brows furrowed, and he looked at Su Lu worriedly: "Money is not a waste, I have been with you for so long, and I haven't even learned the skin of your commanding army." ”

"Let Su Ping, Li Kun, or Cao Hua go, or they all go."

"You go back to Beijing with me and recuperate."

Li Qing grabbed Su Lu's arm, his cheeks full of worry.
