"General, remember the messenger from Ghaznavid?" Helton said with a calm face.

"I think it's called Musala, hey, that's the name...... What do you mention him for? Helton's expression was completely different from the previous treacherous appearance, which made Lao Luo a little strange, but he believed that this Helton would not mention this person for no reason.

Heldon didn't dare to sell it, and seeing that Lao Luo hadn't paid attention to it, he said to himself, "When I took the Lord to Herat, I was watching the movements of the Ghaznavids in Mashhad, and on the second night of your departure, Mushara received three people from our camp by Hakmu, the assistant of the great imam......"

"Who is it?" Old Rome felt that something was wrong, although Helton was a little slippery, but he never dared to lie to himself, he still had a set of human nature. The assistant of the Great Imam, Hakmu, looked like a hypocrisy, and his name was the same as that of the Hakmu tribe, plus the messenger of the Ghaznavids, it would be hellish that there was no conspiracy here.

"One of them is Li Lian of the Li family, but the other two don't know each other." Helton's tone was calm, clearly aware of the gravity of the situation.

Lao Luo had a vague premonition, but when he really heard the truth from Helton's mouth, he still felt a big headache, and the pleasure brought by the bonfire party that had just ended disappeared without a trace. He was not worried about what the Ghaznavids would do, but he was annoyed that the villain was worshipping, and before the road back to the east had reached the end, some people began to be ready to move.

Of course Li Luo knows this person, and he is still a generation of Li Ji, the youngest son of the old man Li Tan, and he usually looks very kind when he sees Lao Luo, but Lao Luo feels that he is not a person all the way from the first impression, he is very selfish, utilitarian and hypocritical, and to put it bluntly, he is a typical example of hiding a knife in a smile. is not even as good as Li Zhan, although Li Zhan also has selfish intentions, but it is only a strategy on the surface, so although Lao Luo rarely deals with each other after Sylvan, he has never torn his face.

Li Lian obviously wants to take the lead on the way back to the east, to put it bluntly, he is now blocking his way, and now that he has the matter of returning to the east, he wants to pick peaches. As for whether it will affect the tribesmen, it is clear that these selfish fellows have not cared about it at all, otherwise they would not have contacted the Turkmen Ghaznavids, who have always been hostile.

Lao Luo had a headache because he didn't know if the old man Li Tan, who was still smiling during the day, had been involved, and he still had a lot of respect for this wise old man. What's more important is that once something happens between him and the Li family, it will be difficult for Li Ji to be caught in the middle.

As for the lame Ghaznavid, Lao Luo didn't care, if he really provoked him, and he didn't go to Ghaznavid to make a scene, I'm afraid it would be difficult to say the fate of Mahmud.

"Mnachi, you have something to say, right?" The alarm doesn't need two people to say, Lao Luo, who began to concentrate his attention, immediately noticed that the black boy wanted to speak and stopped.

"Yes, Lord!" When it comes to loyalty, the two black boys and the original gladiators around Lao Luo are the least suspicious, because the closer to the east, the closer the fate between Lao Luo and them is tied, but when it comes to carefulness, Mnachi is the strongest guy in internal affairs, you must know that he was originally doing internal chores when he was in the Maasai tribe, although it was only a very primitive chore, "These days, there are always people on the side of the family camp who want to mix in, not the civilians in the main camp, I took someone to arrest a few, and they were interrogated by the Judge Advocate General's Department, The confession obtained was from a man sent by the Ghaznavids. ”

"Are people still alive? Know what they want to do? "With the seriousness of the situation, Lao Luo is not in a hurry, he can sneak into the main camp, he must be an inner ghost, although Cheng Shouru commands the garrison camp, he may not be able to grasp the hearts of all the people in the entire garrison camp, and there are three or two wild dogs to follow, not to mention that Li Lian is not a wild dog, but a cunning one.

It's just a camp of tens of thousands of people, it's easy to mix in a few people, but it's impossible to mix in more than a hundred, for Lao Luo, counting the manpower of the inner ghosts, even if the number is thousands, it's just a group of fleas.

"People are still alive, but their purposes are not the same, some want to find out the secrets, and some want to stir up right and wrong in the family camp." Mnachi said.

"Hmm...... In this way, Mnachi, you go to Jin Qian, and say my orders, cooperate with you to defend the security of your family's camp, and catch all unknown people who want to get close! There are people in the main camp who want to blend in, and secretly check who is contacting them! Pay attention to secrecy, if someone asks, they will say that they have violated the ban, you are helping the people of the Judge Advocate General's Department to arrest people, and all the arrested people are locked up in the pit of the Judge Advocate General's Department! "To deal with this kind of thing, you must be very cautious, Lao Luo doesn't want to catch some little minions, but he let the leader go, especially for people with Li Jun's identity, picking things apart without evidence will only complicate things and outweigh the losses.

Therefore, the best way to lure the snake out of the hole is to pull out the poisonous snake hidden in the team, and not to be entangled by the snake, there must be a sophisticated means.

It just so happens that Lao Luo can be regarded as a good hand in this area, whether it is a wild boar or a poisonous snake, it can only be turned into his food.

The details of the task were assigned to Helton and Mnaqi, and after sending them away, Lao Luo also sighed helplessly, the infighting is the most tiresome, but it is the most realistic situation, and most of the time the unity of mind is just a written adjective. This era, like later generations, is a real world, and there will never be a shortage of idiots with low eyes, and there will never be a shortage of careerists who think they are smart and can't find their place.

Unlike later generations, Lao Luo's current position is not that of the stupid soldier who must obey military orders in later generations, but a master who has the hope of controlling his own destiny, and a leader who has the hope of controlling the fate of a race. He's moving in this direction, and it's hard to stop again.

……

The sleep at night was not good, and after waking up in the morning, Lao Luo began a new busyness - although he did not need to deal with trivial matters, he had to take the lead in many things, such as appeasing the hearts of the people of the Harry battalion who was about to be disbanded, preparing sacrifices for the fallen soldiers, holding a meeting to summarize the previous battle, and discussing the direction of action after discussing with the spiritual leaders of the original Tang battalion headquarters of the main camp...... and deal with the blind idiot who was captured by West Dick Nord while he was away and affected the war......

After all these things, another three days have passed.

It was evening again, bonfires, barbecues, stews, and baked dough cakes, in addition to Olki and Nuralman, as well as Cheng Shouru and Min Wenhou, the latter two were specially greeted by Lao Luo.

After eating and drinking, Lao Luo said to Cheng Shouru leisurely: "Lao Cheng, what do you think will happen to us when we go to the East?" ”

As the two parties get acquainted with each other and learn more about each other, they no longer have too many scruples when they talk, and this kind of open-ended conversation is what Lao Luo likes, and the people around him have also become familiar with and like this way of communicating with each other, no matter what, it is always more efficient than more speculation or speculation behind the scenes.

"To the east, San Lang, you may become the patriarch of one side, and it is enough for my old Cheng to be a general who guards one side. It's just that I'm afraid that the Zhao royal family may not be able to allow a person like me, who has returned from afar, to lead troops. Cheng Shouru also knows very well in his heart that what he is good at is nothing more than defending the city, as for attacking and the like, it is not his forte, although he expects that he can attack and make contributions, but experience is not something that is available.

Although he has not yet crossed the Green Mountain, he has learned a lot about the East, and the general situation of many forces such as the Qarakhanid, the Dingyan Army, the Song, and the Liao is also much clearer. In front of Lao Luo, Cheng Shouru had nothing to scruple about, because Lao Luo was much more presumptuous than him.

"A patriarch? I don't like to have someone pointing fingers at my head and letting some brainless idiot command me? I'm going to kill all the idiots! In front of his own people, Lao Luo is too lazy to hide his intentions, he is a murderous person who likes to go straight to the point, he doesn't want to say it, but he doesn't bother to cover himself with lies.

Lao Luo had never said this before, although everyone had speculation, but it was inconvenient to discuss it openly, and now as soon as Lao Luo's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. In this era, it is not a shameful thing to follow the strong to survive, but it is the most simple survival principle in this era, and not everyone has the idea of preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail.

What is more exciting than following a strong man?

The concept of dragon power is not unique to the East, and Caesar could have become emperor of Rome without many followers? King Solomon also had his Knights of the Round Table.

Compared with others, Cheng Shouru obviously has more concerns, and he is still a little restrained about imperial power, which is a category he rarely thinks about, "Zhao royal family...... and the Yelu clan in the north, I'm afraid it's not a good match, San Lang can think clearly. ”

"Royalty...... The Zhao family and the Yelu family are still far away, so let's not comment on it for the time being, let's just talk about the Li family, Lao Cheng, do you think they can be regarded as royalty? "With the journey to the east, Cheng Shouru, who was once attached to the Li family, is becoming estranged from the Li family, so there is nothing wrong with Lao Luo asking questions like this.

"The Li family...... The Tang Dynasty has perished, and without anyone who can become the emperor, the Li family is naturally not a royal family. Cheng Shouru hesitated for a long time, and finally said such a fact objectively.

"That's right! Lao Cheng's words are the truth! Lao Luo sighed, "So, Lao Cheng, what kind of person do you think can be called an emperor?" ”

"Of course, only those who can embrace the world and embrace all the people can be emperors!" You don't have to think about this matter much, Cheng Shouru, who can become a city defender, naturally has a standard in his heart.

"It's not enough to have the world in mind and tolerate all the people," Lao Luo shook his head, "The key is to have strength, the power to rule the people and deter the small, the power to resist the external enemy and punish the inner ghosts, without strength, no matter how many people's hearts are just a rabble." ”

Cheng Shouru is not an outsider with the wisdom of later generations like Lao Luo, limited to the times and experience, he is not a general who can stand alone, and the simple expectation that the king will "have the world in mind and embrace all the people" is just an expectation.

Although Olki and Nuralman are the two best people to learn Chinese, it is still unrealistic to let them think about the key points of governing the world, so the two of them are a little ignorant, but it does not affect their expectations and worship of Lao Luo.

"Lao Cheng, let me say it directly, the Li family, under the rule of the world, if the great elder Li Tan is thirty years younger, he will definitely be able to be the state pastor of the town guarding one side, Li Nie is good at engineering and is the subordinate of the Ministry of Labor, Li Zhan has a good mind but is indecisive and only suitable for being a sacrificial wine for official learning, but Li Xuan is shrewd and resolute and can be a capable official, and Li Zheng can still be a young eunuch of Honglu Temple if he can concentrate on not making mistakes, as for Li ......Lu, "Lao Luo commented on the Li family's people by name, Then he shifted the topic to the ultimate goal of the evening conversation, he looked up at Cheng Shouru and asked in a slightly heavy tone, "Old Cheng, do you know what Li Cheng has been doing recently?" ”

Cheng Shouru listened to Lao Luo's comments on the people he was familiar with, although Lao Luo's direct naming made him feel a little disrespectful, but Lao Luo's assessment made him feel very fair. When he was listening carefully, he heard Lao Luo directly mention Li Jun, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, Li Jun is not very honest along the way, didn't he cause some trouble?

"On the third day when I led the cavalry school to attack and kill the Ghaznavids, Li Lian went out of the camp to meet a person in Mashhad, that person Lao Cheng, you should also know, it was Mushara, the messenger sent by the Ghaznavid......" Seeing Cheng Shouru's expression, Lao Luo concluded that Li Lian's affairs had nothing to do with him, although this Cheng family man had some scheming, but he couldn't ignore his own people.

"Bastard! How dare he ...... "How could Cheng Shouru not understand what Lao Luo didn't mean by what he said, when the war was being prepared, he went to steal the enemy, what else could he do if he didn't betray the interests of his clan?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rejoice that the camp defense was complete, and the battle against the Ghaznavid forwards was going quickly, otherwise...... A cold sweat instantly formed on his back.

"Calm down, Lao Cheng!" Lao Luo snorted, his purpose was not to think that Cheng Shouru would burst out in anger and ask Li Lian how he was, "In the days when I didn't come back, six or seven people were arrested around the camp of the cavalry school, in the name of not abiding by the order of the camp, but in fact, these people are not our people, but the Ghaznavids who came from Mashhad, they have a Han skin, you understand what I mean, right?" ”

"You mean......" Cheng Shouru understood too well, outsiders infiltrated the camp, indicating that his garrison camp was negligent, and the ghosts colluded with the enemy, but he, the general of the garrison battalion, didn't know anything...... There is a Ghaznavid with a Han skin, that is, a bastard who turned his back on his ancestors and converted to the Green Religion, what did he do in it? Do you need to elaborate more......

Looking at Cheng Shouru's pale face, Lao Luo didn't want to investigate him for any negligence - that was of little practical significance, "What you should do now is to pretend that you don't know anything, secretly check who in the garrison camp has a close relationship with Li Jun, and say that if outsiders are let in, it is best to adjust the position of the soldiers in the garrison camp, and send secret sentries at the entrances and exits everywhere, not only to carefully monitor the enemy, but also to monitor those who are long and long......"

"Yes, Lord!" I don't understand anymore, Cheng Shouru is really a fool who has been deceived. How could a guy who could be a city guard for many years be a fool who couldn't see the way clearly?

What's more, Lao Luo did not ask him to take the lead in asking the Li family what he did to betray the old master, as long as he tied the fence tightly and made amends......
