Chapter 157: Blank Letter (Part 1)

A few days later, outside the Secret Pavilion of the Assassin's Mansion, Pang Tong and Han Yan came here with serious expressions.

The Secret Pavilion is an extremely large building, divided into a main hall, more than a dozen side halls, and many hidden secret rooms, where countless military intelligence elements are hidden, and hundreds of military orders will be issued here every day, it can be said that this is the largest department in the entire Youzhou in addition to Yuan Xi's study, even more than Han Yan's government affairs hall and Pang Tong's military department.

And the leader of the Secret Pavilion is naturally Yuan Xi's first strategist, the military advisor Li Ru.

When they saw Pang Tong and Han Yan coming, a clerk of the Secret Pavilion immediately bowed respectfully, and then led the two of them towards the deepest part of the Secret Pavilion, along a long corridor, after crossing the side halls, Pang Tong and Han Yan entered a simple and unpretentious house, only to see Li Ru on the desk, reviewing the military documents sent by various counties.

"My Great Army Division, why are you still sitting!" Seeing this scene, Han Yan suddenly smiled bitterly.

Li Ru gently put down the pen, slowly stood up, and said, "Brother Zipei, what's so urgent?"

"You're not going to tell me you don't know! That Tian Chou actually committed suicide," Han Yan said with regret.

"Liang naturally knows about this matter, but there is no need to be in such a hurry" Li Ru waved his hand and let the leader's literary affairs go down.

"I'm just afraid that my son will be sad," Pang Tong said.

Hearing this, Li Ru shook his head and smiled, "You guys are too underestimating Gongzi, if this Tian Chou is sincere in serving his life, then it is estimated that Gongzi will be really sad for a long time, but he is so stupid and loyal, it is estimated that Gongzi just sighed and will not take it to heart."

"Why don't we go and have a look, you know, as long as you're there, Childe won't get angry," Han Yan said expectantly.

Li Ru smiled bitterly and said: "Who called me here, when you were there, the prince was also not angry, one of you is in charge of the government affairs hall, and the other is in charge of the military secretary and yamen, all of them are important ministers in the palace, the prince loves talents, cherishes talents, respects talents, and will not insult you at will."

"That's the way it is, but if you go for a while, I'll be more at ease" Pang Tong winked and smiled.

Li Ru couldn't help but glance blankly, "You two guys, use me as a shield every time, okay!" I'll go with you and see."

"Haha, thank you Strategist" Hearing this, Han Yan immediately clasped his fists and said gratefully.

Just when the three of them were about to leave the house, they saw Liu Quan suddenly walk in, and after seeing the three of them, he was a little surprised and said, "The three adults are here!" Childe please"

After Han Yan was surprised for a while, he hurriedly asked, "Steward Liu, how is the son feeling today?" ”

"Childe is in a good mood today, and he is about to discuss with the three adults about the resettlement of Xu Wushan's people and army," Liu Quan replied with a smile.

Han Yan and Pang Tong couldn't help but look at Li Ru in admiration, and he really guessed correctly.

"Let's go!" Li Ru laughed loudly and took the lead in walking outside.

When the three of them followed Liu Quan to the inner hall, they saw Yuan Xi facing a huge map, and his expression was very serious.

"Childe," the three of them said.

"You guys are here, come and see, this is the map of Youbeiping, in the past, because of the vast and sparsely populated area, the business is sluggish, and the taxes are not enough, so there is no army stationed, but this time after Xu Wushan returned to Shun, not only there are 10,000 people, but also 4,000 soldiers, plus the original 2,000 soldiers, there are 6,000 people, I plan to organize them into an army alone, stationed in Pinggang, which is not only a place of governance, but also only a hundred miles away from the outer grassland, if there are foreign presumptuous people in the future, it is completely possible to attack, in addition, I found that Youbeiping also has a huge advantage, that is, it is adjacent to the ocean, especially Xingcheng, which is a natural harbor city, we can make full use of it, and send a powerful county to the city first, and integrate it well" Yuan Xi's face was a little excited.

Hearing this, Li Ru was still calm, but Han Yan and Pang Tong were indeed a little stunned.

After Yuan Xi found out, he wondered: "What's wrong with you?"

Pang Tong instantly sobered up, and immediately agreed: "Even if what Gongzi said"

immediately pulled Han Yan, Han Yan was shocked, and then hugged his fists and said: "Childe is wise"

"Haha, what's the wisdom! What's the matter with the two of you, you two are a little absent-minded today, are you sick?" Yuan Xi said curiously.

Han Yan's eyes froze, he mustered up his courage, and asked in a low voice, "Childe, what about Tian Chou??" ”

Yuan Xi immediately reacted, "It turns out that it's because of this!" The letter Tian Chou gave me is on the table, you can read it for yourselves! ”

Han Yan immediately ran over and found the letter, and after opening it, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, only to see that there was not a word in it.

"Childe, what's going on?" Han Yan wondered.

And Pang Tong next to him had already comprehended, and a slight chill immediately appeared in his eyes, "Believe or not with a word, it means that there is nothing to say, which means that he, Tian Yu, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, has no common language with Gongzi, a chaotic minister and thief, this is an insult to Gongzi."

"What! How dare you be so presumptuous," Han Yan suddenly said angrily.

"It's okay, to be honest, Xi still admires him very much, although there are still many people shouting loyalty to the Han family, but there are really few people who can really die for the Han family, I have personally handed over to my father, let my father write to Xu Du, and seal Tian Chou, as for his son Tian Xu, I plan to arrange him in the Taishou Mansion, if his ability is outstanding, he will be promoted" Yuan Xi said.

"Childe is benevolent," Han Yan immediately gave a salute in admiration.

"It's not a benevolent kind, he Tian Chou has already given Xi a reward, that is, Xu Wushan's tens of thousands of people and 4,000 troops, as well as the stability of the entire Youzhou, as for his suicide, Xi is indeed sorry, but people have their own ambitions, can not be forced, since he wants to die Mingzhi, then Xi can only fulfill him, the world's talents, anyone who is willing to be used by Xi, Xi must attach importance to love, but things in the world are often not so perfect, it is already Xi's luck to have seven achievements" Yuan Xi smiled slightly.

Li Ru, who had never spoken, suddenly showed a relieved smile when he heard these remarks, Yuan Xi is becoming more and more mature and knows how to regulate his psychological state.

"Childe is reasonable, we don't have to be sad, Mr. Tian Chou is a loyal man, he will leave a name in history in the future, and he should be happy for him."

Han Yan and Pang Tong nodded, and then said ashamedly: "It's me who cares too much, and I ask Gongzi to forgive me."

"You also care about me, this is very clear, let's continue to discuss the issue of resettlement of the people!" Yuan Xidao.

"No!"

The four of them immediately stood next to the map and began to discuss, and after about a quarter of an hour, Liu Quan ran in and said softly: "Childe, Shan Yu has entered the city."

"Really? Prepare to greet immediately," Yuan Xi said.

"No!"

After Liu Quan went down to make arrangements, Yuan Xi looked at Li Ru and the three of them, "Then it's decided, the newly formed army is called the Zhongbei Army, as for who will lead the Zhongbei Army, I want to see, you are discussing the resettlement of the people, especially Xingcheng, you should pay special attention to it, and select a few good talents to send over."

"No!"
