When Huo Bao came out of the guest room, he went directly to find his father.

Huo Shun is also there.

Huo Shun is now in the Supervision Department, and he is more well-informed than outsiders.

Even if Liang Zhuang didn't tell the Huo family father and son the truth, his relationship with the Zhou family couldn't help but be investigated.

Lingshui County?!

This place name alone is enough to make Huo Shun vigilant.

"Send someone back to Lingshui to investigate, the Zhou family lady has a cousin who is the concubine of Han Erye......"

Huo Shun gritted his teeth and said: "Before the Zhou family came to Jinling, there were guests who brought a lot of cloth and belongings over......"

People leave their hometowns cheaply, things leave their hometowns, good people, if they don't reach the point of exhaustion, who is willing to abandon their homes and businesses?

When the Zhou family came to Jinling, they did not have a good heart.

It's hard to say if there is only the Han family behind this, or if there are other people.

Huo Wu sighed, this matter can't be hidden, and there is no need to hide it.

In this way, the contradiction between Chuzhou and Bozhou cannot be hidden.

had a deal with the brother-in-law of apprentice San, and Huo Wu also learned a lesson.

That brother-in-law is not reliable.

The reason why they put aside each other's mustard on the surface is that they have a stake.

Now, it's been a slap in the face.

Perhaps the most intolerant of the rise of the Chuzhou Army is not the Qichun white shirt, but the Bozhou Army.

Huo Shun's eyes were red: "I was the one who caused the leopard......"

He avenged his daughter in Lingshui before, caused an accident, and killed the Han family who led troops into Quyang.

Now when I heard that it had something to do with Lingshui, I naturally thought of myself.

Huo Wu waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about?" If the Han family had the courage to take revenge, they wouldn't be in a nest under the command of the third disciple now......"

The Han family and the Liu family have turned their faces, and their in-laws have become feuds.

Each has human lives in their hands.

Even if Huo Shun's murder was already known to the Han family, what would it be?

Not to mention the Han family and Han Dashao, even General Han is dead.

Now the rest are either scholars, or women and children, and it is difficult to protect themselves, where do they have the courage to calculate to the side of the Chuzhou army?

Huo Bao came in, and when he heard Huo Shun and his father's words, he also agreed with his father's words: "It's not like the Han family's ......."

Maybe it was the Han family who arranged for the Zhou family to listen to the news of the Chuzhou army, but this ambush should not be done by the Han family.

Bozhou is hundreds of miles away from Jinling, and it takes ten days and a half months to deliver news back and forth by fast horse.

Deng Jian led his troops south, but he waited until the news from Monk Feng came and began to reorganize his troops.

From the point of the general to the departure, it took three or four days of hard work.

The Han family wanted to arrange manpower, but it was too late.

"Uncle Cousin and others met in ambush in Yixing...... Yixing is one hundred and fifty miles from Huzhou and three hundred miles from Jinling......"

Huo Bao looked at the map on Huo Wu's table, pointed to the place where Yixing County was located, and said: "This is a message sent by Jinling, and the Governor of Huzhou immediately led his troops north to ambush...... If the commander of Huzhou is in charge, he should find a way to attack the Chinese army......"

Deng Jian's reputation for being good at fighting has now spread.

Anyone who pays attention to the power of the Chuzhou Army can know the importance of Deng Jian, the No. 2 person.

If the Huzhou Governor wanted to fight for a glimmer of life, he should have worked hard at Deng Jian, not against the firearms battalion.

Only the direction of Bozhou, knowing the foundation of the Chuzhou army, may not take Deng Jian to heart.

After all, the Chuzhou army is all Huo Wu's forces, and no matter how good Deng Jian is, it is difficult to fight alone, and he can't compete with Huo Wu.

Without Deng Jian, Huo Wu, Monk Feng, and Shui Jin are all marshals.

"No matter what the purpose is, the person who is in charge is hiding in Jinling!"

Huo Bao said the conclusion.

Huo Wu nodded and said, "Mr. Lin also said so, Jinling has been under martial law throughout the whole process......"

It's not an easy task, but it's not that hard.

"It's still too forgiving, and we won't allow these things to stumble!"

Huo Wu said hatefully.

*

The whole city was under martial law, and the Shishi garrison went door to door to check Dingkou according to the household registration booklet.

The speed of the verification is not fast, because the verification is extremely careful, not only to check the household registration, but also to identify the neighbors.

All 300 officials of the Supervision Department were transferred out, and one of them brought a few men and horses to be responsible for the inspection.

"The rules of our Chuzhou army, meritorious service must be rewarded, and there must be punishment! Keep your eyes open, if you find out the insects, it will be a ready-made credit, and you will directly reward the silver upgrade according to the number of heads; If someone is responsible for verifying the street and turns it out, it will be fined and degraded without running! ”

Huo Shun looked at everyone and explained.

Monk Zhiran was beside him, with a drooping face, listening to Huo Shun's coercion and temptation, but he didn't say anything.

Such a "disturbing the people" would have been stopped by the old monk before.

Now he understands that with the greater the power of the Chuzhou army, conspiracy and intrigue are more and more indispensable.

It is better to prevent problems before they happen than to have twists and turns.

He lowered his eyes, and the words "the world is peaceful" sounded light, but if he really wanted to do it, it would not be three or five years of work.

The stronger the Chuzhou army, the shorter the confrontation time will be when fighting the world in the future.

The Huo family's father and son chose to "verify Dingkou", which is a grand way.

If a reward is offered for reporting, it will ruin the atmosphere and give birth to unjust imprisonment, and everyone will inevitably be in danger at that time......

East Gate Water Village, Firearms Battalion.

Huo Bao was wearing plain clothes and brought Zhu Gang, Song Qianzhi, An Changsheng, Li Yu and others over.

Last year, for the sake of secrecy and security, Huo Bao set up a firearms camp here.

After most of the year's work, Huo Bao has also been here a few times.

In addition to Huo Bao and Liang Zhuang, several other leaders have also seen Huo Bao.

On the firearms battalion side, Huo Bao is a deputy general, and there are four deputies below, all of whom are at the level of a thousand households.

In addition to Liang Zhuang, there are three more.

One is Liu Qianhu, promoted by the master craftsman, in his fifties, responsible for the research and development of firearms.

This person has been checked for three generations, and now his children and grandchildren are in the Chuzhou army.

One person, Lu Qianhu, twenty-five and sixth, was born in Quyang County, and was responsible for defense together with Liang Zhuang.

One person, Luo Qianhu, in his forties, is in charge of the treasury, which is the old department of Black Python Mountain.

Huo Bao suspected Liang Zhuang before, but after seeing people, he knew that it was not.

Liang Zhuang didn't have that much courage, nor did he have such a careful mind.

Huo Bao looked at the three of them, Huo Bao had an accident, and he had something to do with Liang Zhuang, so the person in charge of the firearms battalion had to choose someone else.

Huo Bao's eyes fell on Luo Qianhu, who was in his forties.

Among these three, the most trusted of their father and son is Luo Qianhu.

If something happens to Huo Bao, the person who is most likely to temporarily take Huo Bao's place is Luo Qianhu.

It's just that the Supervision Department has checked around, and Luo Qianhu has been doing business as usual for the past six months, and there are no unknown assets or interpersonal contacts.

Luo Qianhu's temperament is also a hobby of ease, and he does not like to fight for power and profit, otherwise he would not have been transferred to manage the treasury.

Even if he is pushed up, the firearms battalion really has the final say......

Huo Bao's gaze fell on Lu Qianhu: "Lu Rui, what do you have to say?" ”

Lu Qianhu was stunned: "Bao Ye...... What do you mean by that? What do subordinates have to say? ”

"Tell me about your nephew in Bozhou......"

“……”

Lu Qianhu's face changed and he was speechless.

"Why?"

"Bao Ye ......"

"Take it down!"

Zhu Gang responded and twisted Lu Rui down.

Liu Qianhu and Luo Qianhu were shocked when they saw this.

Liu Qianhu was speechless, and Luo Qianhu had already hurriedly asked, "Bao Ye, is this ...... Is Lu Rui a spy? Did he hurt the little leopard master? It can't be, right? ”

Lu Rui is not very old, but he has a thoughtful temperament, and he is good friends with several other thousand households in the firearms battalion, and he has become a year-old friend with Luo Qianhu.

"Liang Zhuang leaked the date and route of the army's southward journey, and Lu Rui sent the number and type of new firearms out of the warehouse!"

The Chuzhou army is determined to win Hangzhou, and the number of new firearms it carries with it this time is also very considerable.

Liu Qianhu and Luo Qianhu looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there was Liang Zhuang in this.

Huo Bao looked at the two of them and said: "Those who have close contacts with Liang and Lu in the firearms camp, you two can count them, and there is no room for people with bad hearts in the firearms camp......"

The two responded in unison.

Liu Qianhu was simple-minded, and the new firearm was the secret weapon of the Chuzhou army.

Many of the ideas developed by Huo Bao were proposed, and the legend is that they came from the Codex of the Fifth Shuai.

If someone with a different heart is there and leaks one or two, it will not be a loss.

Luo Qianhu was depressed.

After living for half his life, he became blind and did not give the fifth master a good idea of this territory.
