"Thank you, Lord."

Nie Zheng trembled with excitement and shook at Lu Bu.

But he immediately thought that he was not able to do anything, why was his rank higher than that of the generals at all levels in the army, even if Lu Bu was willing, the generals in the army would not agree.

"Uh... My lord, just give me a very ordinary official position. ”

"Nope."

Nie Zheng asked suspiciously: "Then what is this very special official position?" ”

"Shadow Commander." Lu Bu said five words.

Nie Zheng's eyes were full of little stars, and he felt a little dizzy: "What kind of official position is this?" Why have my subordinates never heard of it? ”

Lu Budao: "As I just said, this is a very special official position. It has not yet been made public. After stabilizing Yangzhou, I will announce it to the outside world, this position, the third level of the official university! ”

Nie Zheng was excited. See the third level of the official university, what is this concept? Except for Lu Bu, he is the biggest!

"I need to form a group of killers, this killer organization is called Shadow, and you are the supreme leader of the Shadow Killer organization. The duty is to obey me, and at my instructions, anyone can be arrested, including Xiao He, Chen Gong, Xiang Yu... And so on, for closed interrogations. In addition, you are also responsible for gathering intelligence on enemy forces, plotting against enemy generals, and assassinating anyone at my behest. Remember, at my behest! ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng probably understood.

He is still interested in this special position.

Nie Zheng pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Lord, supervise hundreds of officials, arrest, interrogation, and assassination, there is no problem. However, collecting information about the enemy army and plotting against the enemy generals is not something that can be done casually. ”

Lu Bu smiled and said: "Don't worry, at present, there are our people in the territory of all the princes, and after a while, I will hand over the list of these people to you, and you will send someone to contact." With their help, you'll be able to easily gather information about enemy forces. ”

"I see." Nie Zheng said: "Then there is no problem. ”

"Now all you have to do is find a good killer candidate and conduct secret training. When you're done, I'll give you an important task. ”

"No."

Nie Zheng thought about it and subconsciously responded.

He finally figured out that this was an organization hidden in the dark and not suitable for publicity, and everything he did would not be known to the world, nor would he be remembered for his merits, let alone rewarded like other generals.

This means that he will always be an unknown person.

Nie Zheng was a little disappointed and felt that his future was bleak.

"What are you thinking?"

"Didn't think about anything."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "If you don't say it, I know." Are you thinking, everything is done in secret, how can you still make meritorious service and receive awards? ”

Nie Zheng was silent.

Lu Bu comforted: "Don't worry, when the situation in Yangzhou is stable, I will announce your position as the Shadow Commander." will never let you work in vain, and future generations will remember that it is because of you that I have achieved Lu Bu. ”

"Isn't that exposed?" Nie Zheng was puzzled, this seemed to be contrary to the purpose of forming the Shadow.

"With this position, hundreds of officials have scruples, so that they will not abuse their power and act recklessly." Lu Bu took a deep breath and said, "Besides, just announcing your position, how can the shadow be exposed?" ”

"My subordinates understood."

Nie Zheng arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to do a good job." ”

"Well, you step aside."

"No."

Nie Zheng swept away the previous unpleasantness and slowly exited the study.

...............................

In the next two months, there were constant killings in various parts of Yangzhou.

The soldiers and horses of Cao Xing, Zang Ba, Wei Xu, and Xiang Yu launched a comprehensive sweep of Shanyue in their respective territories.

Zhang Liao, Luo Cheng, and Gao Shun joined forces to meet Yan Baihu, the handsome Shanyue of Wujun, and Pan Lin, the handsome of Shanyue Qu of Huiji County. At the same time, nearly a million displaced people have returned to the three counties and are actively preparing for spring ploughing.

Originally, everything was fine, and according to the plan, the war would be over in less than two months.

But no one expected that the people of Shanyue would fight more and more.

Yan Baihu and Pan Lin had already gathered forty or fifty thousand people, and they resisted very stubbornly.

Due to the lack of large-scale siege equipment, Gao Shun's vanguard battalion, trap camp, and Luo Cheng and Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses could not occupy the city for a while, forming a stalemate with Shanyue.

As soon as the people from all over the country returned, they were attacked and harassed by Shanyue, and there were many casualties.

In Huainan, Lujiang, Danyang, and Jian'an counties, the same problem was encountered, and the number of Shanyue greatly exceeded the budget.

Xiang Yu relied on his natural courage and led 20,000 elites under his command, but he could sweep through the mountains. But that's only in the Huainan area. It does not change the dynamics of the entire war.

In general, the plan to clear Shanyue went very badly.

It was the third year of Jian'an, in early March.

Li Yuanba took a thousand dragon guards to escort the officials, their families, and baggage in Xuzhou to Huainan.

If it weren't for Li Yuanba's prestige and shocking martial arts, I am afraid that he would have been ransacked by Shanyue long ago and suffered all the casualties.

On this day, Lu Bu received an urgent report from the front.

"How can it be!" In the camp, Lu Bu stood up angrily after reading the urgent report.

Zhang Feng asked anxiously: "Lord, is it Lord Xiao that they have been attacked?" ”

Mu Guiying also looked worried.

"Order all the dragon guards to follow me to Liyang." Lu Bu didn't have any extra words, and ordered directly.

"No."

Zhang Feng went to transfer the army.

"I don't believe it, even Cao Cao and Yuan Shu were defeated by me, and these Shanyue thieves can still turn the sky upside down." Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd and was about to walk out of the camp. glanced at Mu Guiying and said, "Guiying, you stay in Shouchun City and wait for the good news of my victory." ”

"Hmm."

Mu Guiying didn't ask much.

In fact, she didn't take those Shanyue thieves in her eyes, they were all some rabble, no matter how many people there were, it would be impossible to succeed.

At noon, Lu Bu and Zhang Feng led 1,300 Dragon Guard soldiers to leave Shouchun City and advance quickly towards Liyang City in the north of Huainan.

The urgent report said that the officials and baggage of Xuzhou were trapped in Liyang City, and there were 40,000 Shanyue coalition troops besieging Liyang. And Li Yuanba, who is known as invincible in the world, can't defeat the Shanyue coalition army! it! How is this possible?!

Lu Bu really can't figure it out, who can beat Li Yuanba?

Two days later.

One thousand dragon guards came to the east side of Liyang to observe the military camp of the Shanyue army at close range.

The Shanyue thieves are not as well-trained as the regular army, and they do not have good equipment, and the battalion is five miles, which is also chaotic and has no rules. Lu Bu stood at the top of the mountain, and after understanding it, he was even more puzzled.

"With such an army, can you defeat Li Yuanba?"

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Feng and ordered, "Order everyone, follow me and rush in." I'd like to see what they're capable of. ”

"No."

Zhang Feng is also a person who has seen the world, and he didn't feel scared when he saw the messy Shanyue military camp.
