"The lord has already set off!" In a grocery store in Jincheng County, Yan Xing Yan Yanming was driving a herd of cattle and sheep and walking with Jia Xu on the roads into the city. Around them are herdsmen in groups of three or five. Their numbers are a bit too large, and even each person can only go to kill the three endless goats. This is not common in the two-week prairie. But an experienced herder, even a child as young as five or six years old, can drive herds of cattle and sheep.

However, not many people around them will care about their anomalies, because most of them are still worried about this year's harvest.

The conversation between two of them was as follows: "Did you hear that there is a Westerner in Hanyang County who said that there will be floods in our process this year, and it is a big one, maybe it will make our food harvest go away!" ”

"When I heard that, I was worried. I heard that Mr. Su thinks that this flood is really fateful, but there are also man-made disasters, especially our embankment, which has been seriously in disrepair, not to mention a large flood of this scale, even if it is the same as the perennial one, I am afraid it will not be able to resist. ”

"But I heard that this is related to Mr. Su's Weishui Company's construction of construction upstream?"

"Ahem, don't listen to those guys' nonsense. What do they know? I heard the Westerner who presided over the hydrospinning wheel, named Ackwright, say that when they built the waterwheel, they used to build dams upstream to ease the flow of water and control the speed of the water. Otherwise, the watermill will not be pushed like a windmill? The one my little kid bought yesterday turned around endlessly as soon as he ran it. The waterwheel was made of wood, and it couldn't stand up to the rapid flow of water. You say, don't you? ”

"I see. The dam they built for themselves back then can now help us to hold the water flow. It seems that our farmland can hold on for at least a little longer. ”

"That's no use. People have long said that it will only buy us time to evacuate. The dam won't keep our food ripe. You can't let your family stand up to the flood, which will eventually lead to a burst of the embankment with Hanyang County. Then our Jincheng County is too unauthentic. We Liangzhou people, come out and rely on a righteous word, how can we do such a thing that ignores our conscience! ”

"That makes sense. Let's get ready to move. I heard that there are a lot of castles built in Wuwei County, but no one has moved into them. ”

"I've heard about it, too, but it's a military castle, and maybe there will be war someday."

"Afraid of a bird, we Liangzhou people, which one is not a day of licking blood with a knife? If you want to fight, don't you want to send the military industry to the door? ”

"Hahaha, that's true! My brother is such a heroic man! ”

The two of them said as they overtook Jia Xu and the others who were slowly marching.

The sheep herding team was soon overtaken by several caravans, and from the gaze of the caravan guards, Yan Xing saw a deep contempt. Especially when the caravan led by Pang De and Guo Jia passed by them, he felt uncomfortable in his heart!

However, they are not the slowest team on this avenue, and Zhang Xiu's herd of cattle from his hometown in Beidi County has been ridiculed by many people because they are walking too slowly. However, Zhang Xiu's spear was on his back, as long as he stretched out his hand and leaned behind his back, the other party immediately closed his mouth!

Jia Xu watched this scene with a smile all the way, and pretended not to know each other and stepped forward to get close to him, the content of the conversation between the two changed from cold to familiar, and it didn't take a few sticks of incense to take a few sticks of incense, and they didn't seem to care about attracting the attention of others, and even exchanged the information they had on the street one after another.

Jia Xu asked, "How many people have already gotten into the city?" ”

Zhang Xiu replied: "Not much, only about 300." Led by my senior brother Zhang Ren. ”

"Then with our batch, it should reach a thousand. But these forces were not enough to take Jincheng County. ”

"But we still have time, and I think it's better to do less in the future with a large-scale infiltration like today."

"Of course." Jia Xu responded, and then said, "If this number is not discovered today, then we can lower the number of people who sneak in, which is not only safer, but also more calm." ”

"That's right, I heard that the fourth column of the lord is marching to the vicinity. If we have a flaw in our road today. The main guild immediately attacked Jincheng County to cover our withdrawal from the danger zone. But the lord will only stay in the vicinity for five days, and from then on, we will be on our own. ”

"Five days is enough. If it weren't for the Lord's repeated requests that this plan be foolproof, I would have arranged the process for all the sleepers for these five days. ”

When Zhang Xiu heard this, she was clever in her heart. Suning once used the word "poisoner" to evaluate Jia Xu, but at present, he should be called a "madman". It's just that he Zhang Xiu doesn't know, You Heng, the number one madman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, has not yet revealed his magnificent face at this moment.

In fact, Jia Xu's life trajectory is quietly changing. In his early years, he was intercepted by bandits on the way, and although he escaped with a little trickery, the situation has become extremely cautious since then, and he will not even reveal his true thoughts unless he has to. However, since he began to study business under Suning, his life has changed dramatically. Originally, he had no intention of pursuing a career, but he just wanted to rely on his business skills to support his family in his hometown in Liangzhou, but he didn't think about it, but he unexpectedly came into contact with a lot of novel theories. In particular, after the infrastructure advocated by Suning drives economic development and the industry links the nomadic tribes, Liangzhou seems to have a new force. More and more people began to gather at Suning's Weishui Company and became part of a large business group.

Moreover, the collection of intelligence has also extended to all directions with the commercial tentacles, and with the cover of commerce, the collection of many intelligence has become twice the result with half the effort. At this time, although most of the bureaucrats and gentry had read the use of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the problem of talking about war was still hanging over them, and even if they knew how to use it, they did not necessarily have sufficient experience to prevent it.

In this regard, Dao Xian, who is now known as the one who is often called Diao Xian in the market, plays a huge role. I heard that the man was organizing a new intelligence agency, and this intelligence agency was tasked with a very high military rank.

Originally, Suning was going to hand over the bad guy agency to Diao Xian to operate, but the sudden rise of Xia Shan and the successive delivery of a number of valuable information made Suning change this plan.

Today, the agency that Diao Xian is in charge of is called ......

"Fifth column?" Jia Xu muttered the name, "This is a large intelligence department that is going to organize a large intelligence department of tens of thousands of people." ”

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words. "Ten thousand people are not easy to organize, and we don't need to come to his aid. The lord also sent the two most trusted Chang Entourage, as well as Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao, who are enough to take over your class. ”

Today's Jia Xu is not yet forty years old, and he really doesn't know why the lord is so focused on cultivating his successor. Could it be that he will die young, no, Jia Xu still has a basic understanding of his condition. He is still a long way from the summoning of the King of Yama.

Then there is only one reason why Suning cultivates other strategists, that is, the situation he will face in the future needs more Jia Xu to support.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a little proud, which had hardly appeared in his previous life.

While chatting, the two approached the gate of Jincheng County. The soldiers at the gate of the city were very responsible and interrogated a few more words, for no other reason! Recently, there have been a lot more vendors coming in and out of the capital area than usual.

Although Jia Xu knew the trick, after answering the questions of the soldiers guarding the city, he encountered a few copper coins, quietly attached them to the other party's ear, and asked, "I don't know what happened recently, why the inventory at the city gate is much stricter." ”

For the sake of his classmates, the soldier guarding the city no longer concealed it, and also replied in a very low voice: "Since Cao Changshi hung up his seal, the atmosphere in the city has changed a lot. ”

"I see." Jia Xu immediately put on a look of sudden realization, in fact, he knew more than the other party, Gai Xun is now mainly guarding against the hoarding of the big families in the city, especially those led by the Han family, who are currently hoarding grain and grass on a large scale, he doesn't know if there is any other purpose for doing this during the winter vacation, so he has to take strict precautions, which affects Suning's deployment, however, between Gai Xun and Suning, it is not a particularly tight alliance, they are just looking at the face of the old bird, Just give each other a little respect.

But even so, Jia Xu still has to ask a few points, because between this back and forth, he has become familiar with the officials guarding the city, and the contacts he usually accumulates in this way can often be used at critical times, and the left and right are just a few words of conversation, three or five copper coins, if you can say the words to the other party's heart, then maybe you can also gain a few friends. Don't underestimate such little people, they often play a huge role at critical times, and some officials will let their family members keep in touch with such little people all year round even after they take off, so as to get enough rich information from more channels.

Jia Xu knew that Diao Xian, who was now being ordered to form the fifth column, was through this means, after being summoned to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he quickly pulled up a team loyal to him, and even Jia Xu was impressed by his ability in this regard, so Jia Xu inevitably learned two tricks from him inadvertently.

After paying a lot of taxes, a group of people smoothly entered the gate of Jincheng County, however, their busyness has just begun, because most of these cattle and sheep are to be sold, and most of them really don't know much about the business here, so they can only rely on the help of the locals, which requires them to pay a hard fee, fortunately, Suning has opened a lot of shops here, although they do not belong to the Weishui company in name, But Suning only registered a few leather bag companies casually, and indirectly controlled the equity of these façade businesses.

And they, in themselves, are also a means used by the fifth column to disguise their identity. It was also with the help of these people that the group of soldiers brought out by Jia Xu and others were able to hide quietly in the market, and they did not attract too many people's attention, so they were arranged into several local courtyards.

Jia Xu was very satisfied with this arrangement, and he liked the feeling of hiding in the shadows and plotting in secret. However, shortly after he settled, several mysterious guests were brought to him.

These people were personally brought over by Diao Xian, and as soon as he saw this posture, Jia Xu knew that this matter must be very important. However, as soon as he looked at the mysterious guests, he found that their clothing was very different from the common Han people, they seemed to be the Qiang people living in Liangzhou, although they were sinicized, but the habits of clothing and clothing still retained many Qiang characteristics.

However, in Suning's system, there are not many Qiang people who can be so trusted as a heavy responsibility, and most of them have actually just recovered. For example, the 20,000 cavalry from Huangzhongyi who defected from you is the best example.

Then these people may really be the earliest Qiang tribe that took refuge in you, and are now called the group of Weishui Yicong.

Most of them are now in the hands of the system, which means that their arrival is likely to bring news from the system.

Jia Xu has long heard about the matter between the system and Suning, but the specific details are unknown, especially the progress in the recent past, which has been tightly sealed as a high-level secret, and even a core strategist like him knows very little about it.

However, after all, the system master is in control of the earliest intelligence agency in the Suning system, and the fifth column is going to carry out such a big military operation, how can he not alarm his old man.

So, Jia Xu hurriedly stood up and hurriedly asked, "What advice does the system master have?" ”

"Mr. Qiqi Jia, Lord System asked me to send a message to the lord, but I couldn't find the lord, so I could only find here."

Jia Xu slapped his forehead, he didn't expect that Suning had just traveled for a short time, and he didn't want to be able to contact him, and the command system had already been so negligent, I am afraid that in the future development, it will bring a lot of trouble, which must be changed in the future! However, the top priority now is to find out what exactly the system master wants to say.

"I know where the lord is, tell me quickly, what does the system master want to say?"

"Permission has been regained! The war against the Yellow Turbans has increased considerably! ”10
