Liu Feng, the head of the county, can be said to have come to Pingyang County to collect money, and he is here to fish and flesh the people, he doesn't care what barbarians are or not, as long as the barbarians have not broken through the Wuguan, as long as he, the head of the county, is still there.

For him, nothing is important as money.

He pondered for a moment and said: "Don't hide it, sir, I have also thought of this method, and I also specially mentioned to Lu Chen that within ten days, the materials will be escorted to the border city by our county army, in order to repeat the old trick, and make an appointment with Wu Yue to intercept the materials and send them back, but... But Lu Chen, that guy..."

"Huh?" Zhang Tao waved his hand, first touched his mustache, and then said slowly: "What I want to ask the adults is whether they want to get rid of Lu Chen." ”

Zhang Tao was regarded by Liu Feng as his confidant, and he would not hide anything from Zhang Tao, so Liu Feng almost didn't even think about it and said: "This new county guard Lu Chen, his actions are not common sense at all, and he is bold, for so many years, has Sir ever seen any county guard dare to openly contradict me like this?" So if this person is not removed, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time......" He sighed helplessly, and said: "Hey, it's just ......"

"Of course, on the surface, adults can't do it, but that doesn't mean he won't die at the hands of horse bandits, does it?" Zhang Tao answered: "Your Excellency can write a letter immediately, and then send a light horse to follow the path and rush to the place where Wu Yue is, I believe that when Lu Chen and the others arrive, Wu Yue has already set up an ambush and waited for him." ”

"Oh? This... What if someone is sent from above to investigate, after all... Although Lu Chen is only a county guard, he is also a military guard general, and his identity is special......" Liu Feng asked worriedly.

"Hehe, don't worry, sir." Zhang Tao smiled wickedly, and said confidently: "Let's not talk about whether the imperial court will send someone to investigate this matter, even if it does, it will only start from the line of 'horse bandits', right?" ”

As he spoke, seeing Liu Feng staring at him without blinking, Zhang Tao said faintly: "Lu Chen, the county guard of the border city and the general of the military pass, personally came to escort the supplies in the army, but was attacked by a group of horse bandits led by Wu Yue on the way, Lu Chen's department suffered heavy casualties, and even Lord Lu himself was killed by the horse bandits, so the county leader Lord Liu led the county army to personally suppress the horse bandits and destroy their bandits' den in one fell swoop!" ”

"Mr. means ......"

"Wu Yue and the others must not stay!" Zhang Tao said with a gleam in his eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Feng's heart moved, and he couldn't help leaning forward, staring at Zhang Tao for a long time before he sat back, and at the same time, he sighed and said, "Well, it seems that it can only be like this." ”

"Someone! Pen and ink waiting! After speaking, he looked at Zhang Tao and smiled, and said: "Sir's plan can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and it really deserves to be the brains of this official......

Wu Yue's gang of horse bandits, Liu Feng has used them a few times, and in his heart, he has already had the idea of eradicating Wu Yue, but he has not found a suitable opportunity for a long time, and Zhang Tao's advice this time can be said to be right in his heart.

On the other side, Lu Chen and his entourage were carrying dozens of truckloads of supplies, and when they went out of the city, it was much smoother than when they entered the city.

This can also be described as a nest of bears and bears. Even the county leader Liu Feng is a greedy and afraid of death, so you can imagine how good the county soldiers under him can be.

After leaving Pingzhou, not long after walking on the official road, Lu Chen called Zhao Chuan over and asked him if there were any other paths from here to the border city.

Thinking that he was going to take a shortcut to return to the border city, Zhao Chuan returned truthfully: "My lord, although there is indeed a relatively close path to the border city, our department has more escort materials, and the path is more rugged, so it is more appropriate for my subordinates to suggest taking the official road." ”

Knowing that Zhao Chuan had misunderstood what he meant, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to explain, just thought about it for a while, and then he commanded again: "In this way, Zhao Chuan, you lead a hundred brothers to set up an ambush on that path, if you see a fast horse passing by, you don't need to hurt his life, just shoot it over!" ”

Yes? When Zhao Chuan heard this, he was a little confused, so he couldn't help but ask: "This... It's early in the morning, and even if there are pedestrians rushing to the night, I'm afraid that no one will take the path, adults, this is ......"

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I hope I'm too worried." After a pause, he asked Zhao Chuan again: "Other than that, there is no third way to the border city, right?" ”

"Yes, sir." Zhao Chuan returned.

"Okay, you can arrange it. By the way, the bows and arrows of our army are like dead wood, and you let your brothers bring this new batch of weapons with you, and if there are no fast horses passing by, it will be enough, and if there is, you must shoot them down and capture them to me!" Lu Chen Zhengse said.

Zhao Chuan took the order and left, he didn't hesitate at all about Lu Chen's order now, although he was very puzzled why Lu Chen did this, but Lu Chen didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask more.

Zhao Chuan left with a hundred soldiers, while Lu Chen and the others continued to hurry along the official road. There was nothing to say all the way, and after about half an hour, Zhao Chuan went and returned, in addition to the hundred soldiers, he also brought a man who was tied up with flowers.

Zhao Chuan's expression did not change much, but he looked at Lu Chen's eyes, and in addition to awe, he also had another admiration. The adult is really clever, Zhao Chuan wants to know, how did Lu Chen know that there must be a fast horse galloping from the road, you know, at this point in time, even if there are people, it should appear on the official road.

He didn't know the Dao inside, but Lu Chen had already guessed it. As early as when he was in the county capital, he already suspected that there might be something wrong with the horse bandits who intercepted the last batch of materials, and then thought of Liu Feng's greedy people, who were so bloodlet by himself, he would definitely not give up, so he kept an eye on it, and he really guessed it right!

"Returning to my lordship, everything is as my lord expected, the last general led his brothers to lurk in the woods on both sides, and not long after, I saw a man riding a fast horse, so he shot his war horse to the ground!" With a look of adoration on his face, Zhao Chuan handed over a letter and said, "This is found on this person, please take a look." ”

Lu Chen took the letter, and at this time, his face had already become gloomy, and the more he read the content of the letter, the more gloomy his face became.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but whisper tentatively: "Your Excellency, ......"

As soon as his words began, Lu Chen had already raised his head to look at him and interrupted, "Has General Zhao ever read this letter?" ”

"Without the instructions of the adults, the last general will not dare to check this letter privately." Zhao Chuan returned truthfully.

"Then take a look!"

As he spoke, Lu Chen threw out the letter in his hand.
