"By the way, General Chen, are there any of Gao Yu's sons and nephews who have a more generous personality and are close to the people, and who also have a little prestige in the army?" After sending Lu Yongzhi away, Zhu Li changed his words and turned his head to ask Chen Heng.

When Chen Heng heard this, he thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Among Gao Biao's sons and nephews, the parents and children can't get on the wall at all, and the bandit is called "Forty Three Lang", and there is a prodigal son; The most prominent of the nephews is Gao Shao, who has a history of assassination in China and Bozhou, but he is not in Huainan; The rest of the children, if you say that you have a good temperament and are quite talented, you have to count Gao Li, this Lang Jun, who has followed Gao Biao's side since he was a child, grew up in the army, and we generals have more or less friendship, and have a certain prestige in the army. ”

"Oh, that's good, after I meet Gao Biao, if Gao Biao insists on going his own way, I may have to meet this Lang Jun." Zhu Li said thoughtfully.

Although Chen Heng didn't understand what Zhu Li wanted to do, he happily responded: "Rest assured, if you can use it below, it is incumbent on you below." ”

------ Dividing Line------

Shuozhou Thorn History.

Because Zhu Li's most important relatives live in the mansion, under Guo Qizuo's orders, the people who come and go are relatively low-key and seem very quiet.

However, since Zhu Li's accident in Guanzhong, the Thorn Mansion is no longer quiet, and the pedestrians have gloomy faces, come and go in a hurry, mixed and hasty.

Most of them were scouts sent by the town generals from all over the country, and they would rush to the Assassin's Mansion almost every few days to ask Guo Qizuo about Zhu Li's news.

And among these town generals, especially Wu Mourning, Gao Su, and Huo Qing are the most frequent, Zhu Li's accident, the most worried, anxious or these reborn heroes, they have identified Zhu Li, I believe that following him, they will definitely do a great job, and now that something suddenly went wrong, how could they not worry.

But on this day, three carriages suddenly came in front of the Assassin's Mansion, and in front of the carriage stood two knights, although they were dressed ordinarily, they had extraordinary bearing.

A green-shirted knight came to the gate of the mansion, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the two tooth soldiers in front of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, but after whispering a few words to them, the tooth soldier's expression immediately changed greatly.

He first carefully and respectfully invited the two into the meeting hall, and then hurriedly rushed into the Assassin's Mansion and reported to Guo Qizuo.

It was none other than Yue Pengju and Tan Erhu, as well as their family members.

After receiving the report from the tooth soldiers, Guo Qizuo did not dare to slack off and hurried to the conference hall.

In the hall, Guo Qizuo, Guo Chongtao, Wang Jing, Meng Juehai, Shi Yan, Wang Chongyin and others sat on both sides with suspicious faces, and Shi Yan, who had always looked young and high-spirited before, had been drooping his head for a while, looking very dull and melancholy, but his eyes in the middle of the hall were full of expectations.

Not only Shi Yan alone, but the six people present all had the same expression, looking at the middle of the meeting hall, to be precise, at the two people standing there, the person on the left was wearing a green shirt, carrying a long sword at his waist, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, very heroic.

A person on the right, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, stocky and heavy, with his cheeks and mouth closed, looking very fierce and rude, looking at the two of them, Guo Qizuo looked hesitant and said, "May I ask which one is Yue Pengju?" ”

"Yue is here, I don't know which one is Mr. Guo, so it would be good for you to let us go to the Assassin's Mansion and meet Mr. Guo directly?" The man in the green shirt and the sword was Yue Pengju, who held Zhu Wen's second brother Zhu Cun hostage, and arrived in Daizhou all the way without danger, until he entered the territory controlled by the Shuozhou army and handed Zhu Cun over to the guards of Daizhou before he went straight to the Assassin's Mansion.

"Who am I?" Guo Qizuo's face jumped, he looked a little excited, and even his voice trembled a little.

After Zhu Li's accident, he had already sent several waves of ghost warriors and issued a death order, asking them to sneak into the pass to search for Zhu Li's traces, to see people in life and corpses in death.

However, the news that came back, although it proved that Zhu Li did not die in Weiqiao, was seriously injured and fell into Weishui, and there is no trace of him so far, and his whereabouts are unknown, completely cutting off the clue.

He still kept covering this news, and didn't tell Zhu Li's family, of course, there were also the two little ladies, Wei Chijin and Wang Yueyao, but with the news channels of those two, he was not sure of Zhu Li's news, and sooner or later he would not be able to cover it.

It is impossible for Guo Qizuo not to worry, he came to follow Zhu Li, if the great cause is not completed, Zhu Li will die tragically, that is really a big joke, as for this thought, he doesn't even dare to think about it now.

Just today, suddenly a tooth soldier flew to him, someone from Shaozhou, asked to see him by name, that person seemed to be carrying a letter from the envoy, as soon as he heard the news, even Guo Chongtao, Wang Jing, Shi Yan and others who were handling government affairs in the Assassin's Mansion couldn't sit still, and a group of people immediately put down the work at hand and hurriedly crowded into the meeting hall.

Yue Peng raised his mind, and the person in front of him was Guo Qizuo, and he had no doubts, after all, this was the Assassin's Mansion, and in Shuozhou, there should be only one Guo Qizuo in the Assassin's Mansion, who dared to pretend here, and hurriedly took out the letter that Zhu Li handed him, and took a few steps forward to hand over the letter.

"This is a letter ordered by the envoy to be submitted to the gentleman, please take a look at it."

When Guo Qizuo heard this, he hurriedly took the letter and opened it immediately, Guo Chongtao and Wang Jing beside him couldn't care about being reserved at this time, so they hurriedly leaned over, next to Guo Qizuo on the left and right, and looked at it carefully.

"Yes, it's the handwriting of the envoy." Guo Qizuo immediately proved that the letter was written by Zhu Li, which made everyone in the hall immediately overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Yue, where are the envoys, how are they now?" Guo Qizuo glanced at ten lines, quickly read the letter, and casually handed the letter to Shi Yan and the others who gathered over, and couldn't wait to ask Yue Pengju about Zhu Li's current situation.

Zhu Li reported their safety to them in the letter, and instructed them to focus on development in Shuozhou, and at the same time asked Guo Qizuo to reuse Yue Pengju, saying that this person has the talent of a general.

Yue Pengju said modestly and solemnly: "When we went north, the envoy had already gone south; The imperial court secretly sent countless dead soldiers to intercept and kill the envoy, and even laid a net on the way north, so it was inconvenient for the monarch to return to the north immediately, so we came to deliver the news first, and by the way, I was asked to come to Shuozhou to serve. ”

"Bastard, forget about Weiqiao's forced killing, that old gelding dog is endless, it's really hateful." Shi Yan was immediately furious when he heard that although Zhu Li was still alive, he still had to face such a grim situation.

"These eggless turtle grandsons, if they follow Lao Meng's temper and stab them to death with one shot, they don't care what kind of eunuch he is or not." Meng Juehai also echoed indignantly.

......

Guo Qizuo didn't have time to pay attention to their complaints, and turned to look at Wang Jing and Guo Chongtao, now that it is certain that Zhu Li is still alive, of course he has to try to welcome him back to Shuozhou, in terms of planning and design, he obviously can't count on those few warriors, so he can only discuss with these two.

Facing Guo Qizuo's gaze, Wang Jing and Guo Chongtao comprehended, the two did not directly offer advice, Wang Jing turned to Yue Pengju instead, and asked: "General Yue, when you separated Jun from you, did you say what you planned in the near future?"

"Yes, at the time of separation, I asked the envoy what his plans were, and the envoy said that since the imperial court did not want to see him return to Shuozhou, then he simply wandered around the south; If it really can't be done, he will rush to Sichuan and Shu in the west, turn to the direction of Liangzhou, and go back to Shuozhou from there. Yue Pengju thought about it for a while, and then said calmly.

Hearing that Zhu Li really had a plan, the three of them thought for a moment, and Guo Chongtao spoke: "Why didn't the envoy choose to go east, go straight down the river, enter the sea, and return north from the waterway?" ”

"It is not safe to take the waterway, the Tang Navy is powerful in the world, although the king is strong in martial arts, he has few opponents in the battlefield, once he returns north by water, it is blind; When he reaches the sea, he can't give full play to his advantages in martial arts, and once he is surrounded by people, life and death can only depend on the will of heaven, which is naturally not a good policy. Wang Jing analyzed.

Guo Qizuo nodded when he heard this, and said: "According to the information obtained by Guo, the dead soldiers dispatched by the imperial court are not only limited to the Shence Army, but also have a mysterious force, but their details have not yet been figured out; And Li Keyong and Li Sigong did everything they could, and their forces united to lay a net on the front line of Weishui and the Yellow River. ”

When Wang Jing heard this, he brushed a few beards that had just been exposed under his chin, and suggested: "It is imperative that we pick out the incident to divert the attention of the imperial court, and at the same time secretly order the ghost soldiers to divide into three ways, all the way into the land of Xu and Yang, so they will spread a maze and disturb the audio-visual; On the other hand, select the elite and secretly sneak into the land of Sichuan and Shu, where they wait for the envoy to be perfect; Finally, send the strongest secret guard to find the envoy and protect him closely. ”

Guo Qizuo and Guo Chongtao nodded when they heard this, and Guo Chongtao opened his mouth and agreed: "This plan is feasible, and it is the worst, and it can also disperse the opponent's forces." ”

"Then how to create strife and disturb the sight of the court?" Guo Qizuo asked.

As for how to welcome Zhu Li back to Shuozhou, doesn't Guo Qizuo have a better strategy, of course not, but Guo Jia in history, his character is like this, throughout Guo Jia's life, every time he makes a suggestion, he will stand up and make a decision when others have nothing to advise.

usually gives advice, even if he thinks of it, he will not be the first to say it, but give others a chance to shine, anyway, if it is not suitable, he will strongly recommend Cao Cao not to adopt it.

And once he offers advice, he is focused on the long term, maybe he may not see any effect at the time, but after a while, you have to admire his foresight, if you only talk about the competition of the art of war and strategy, Guo Jia will never lose to any of the top strategists in the Three Kingdoms period.
