This young man was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, tall, handsome, and imposing, and at first glance he was a fierce warrior. This person's name is Qin Qiong, the word Shubao, a native of Licheng, born in a family of eunuchs, in the early years of the army, once fought in the northern Xinjiang, and served as a captain of the Yue Cavalry School when he was the general of the right imperial guard. When Qin Qiong's mother died, Laihu'er specially sent people to mourn. According to the system of Ding Wei, Qin Qiong left her post and kept filial piety for her mother for three years. Before three years passed, his hometown was ransacked by thieves, and Qin Qiong had to organize a township group to defend himself. At this time, Zhang Xutuo, the county commander, requisitioned the clan regiment and township regiment to form a local army, and Qin Qiong led the township regiment to enlist. Qin Qiong's special identity immediately attracted Zhang Xutuo's attention, and he was named Cao Shuzuo, a soldier of the county government, who was in charge of military affairs, and was introduced as a cronie, and awarded him the head of the Licheng regiment, commanding a thousand elite soldiers to suppress thieves with him.

"Qin Bingsi, what do you think about the changes in the situation in Lu County?" Zhang Xutuo suddenly asked.

Qin Qiong's expression was solemn and he didn't answer immediately.

A meaningful smile appeared on Yang Qian's handsome face. Zhang Xutuo obviously saw some secrets hidden behind the thieves in Xuzhou, but with Zhang Xutuo's status, not knowing these secrets is far better than knowing these secrets, so Zhang Xutuo is very self-aware, he does not explore these secrets at all, but faces the reality in front of him, since the thieves in Xuzhou are coming, Lu County is caught in the middle of the two thieves, so Zhang Xutuo's plan to suppress the thieves must be adjusted, so as not to push Lu County into the "dire water" dilemma.

Qin Qiong thought for a moment, hesitated slightly, and then said, "Duke Ming, Xuzhou thieves robbed the heavy fleet on the Tongji Canal, is this news true or false?" ”

Zhang Xutuo's brow furrowed even deeper. The political struggle at the top has always been bloody and cruel, and the struggle for imperial control is a vivid example, although Jinshang finally sat on the throne of the emperor, but at the cost of the brotherly wall, and the number of magnates, eagles and guards and ordinary people affected by it is as high as hundreds of thousands. Zhang Xutuo didn't want to be involved in the "fight" of the big power, but Yang Qian started and Qin Qiong followed, which showed that the truth was very cruel, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.

"It's a big deal, Duan Yuanjun won't listen to rumors and spread falsehoods." Zhang Xutuo said.

"The thieves are a rabble after all, even if they plunder heavy troops, they will not let their strength skyrocket instantly." Qin Qiong's voice was deep and low, revealing a sense of fortitude and slaughter, "But this is not the point, the point is that from Tongji Canal to Mengshan, it is not only hundreds of miles away, but also has to cross Pengcheng County, and General Dong of Zuo Xiaowei Mansion is a famous general in Middle Earth, a famous marshal of Weifu, how can he let a thief army that has plundered heavy troops escape from Pengcheng and escape from the palm of his hand?" ”

"There's another important point." Yang Qian suddenly interjected, "After the Xuzhou thieves plundered the heavy troops, the fastest and safest escape route was to cross the Huai to the south, and to escape from Mengshan across the north of Pengcheng was the most difficult and dangerous choice, but the Xuzhou thieves chose the most dangerous escape route, and unbelievably they succeeded." This is the shame of General Dong, and his reputation has been wasted. The Eastern Metropolitan will investigate his responsibility, and General Dong must be in a catastrophe this time. It's just that why did General Dong stumble? General Dong's horse stumbled, and he was indeed injured a lot, but it was Qilu who suffered the most. Qilu was hurt, and the situation continued to deteriorate, which would inevitably affect the Eastern Crusade. ”

"Don't talk about General Dong anymore." Zhang Xutuo categorically interrupted Yang Qian's words, "The thieves in Xuzhou have already gone to Mengshan, and there is only one Yingyang Mansion in Langya County, and the main force has been requisitioned and left, which can be described as sinister and dangerous. If Wang Bo and Meng Rang break through to the south and join the Xuzhou thieves in Mengshan, then Langya County is very likely to fall. So what we have to discuss now is how to kill the thieves in Changbai Mountain in the shortest possible time. Duan envoy Jun wrote a book, telling in detail that the thieves in Xuzhou were causing trouble and threatening the flawed hills, and their purpose was exactly like this. He is in a very bad situation, and if we do not reach out in time to help, we will surely find ourselves in the predicament of being attacked by the enemy. ”

Yang Qian's expression was as usual, with a faint smile on his face all the time, and he was not dissatisfied because Zhang Xutuo unceremoniously interrupted him, "For Duan Envoy Jun, the Xuzhou thieves on Mengshan Mountain have already made him busy, if Wang Bo and Meng Rang are also allowed to go to Mengshan, I am afraid his life will not be better than that of Dou Envoy Jun of Langya County." ”

Zhang Xutuo immediately understood the meaning of Yang Qian's words. Duan Wencao will not let Wang Bo and Meng Rang break through Juping and Liang's father to kill Mengshan, and as the boss of the Qilu aristocratic group, Duan Wencao does not have only one way to intercept by force, so Wang Bo and Meng Rang may turn their horses around and return to Qi County as a last resort. In other words, Duan Wencao told the Xuzhou thief about the trip to Mengshan in detail, which was actually diverting Zhang Xutuo's attention, paralyzing Zhang Xutuo, and confusing the public, thus creating a chance for Wang Bo and Meng Rang to "kill a horse gun".

Zhang Xutuo's thin and majestic face showed a thoughtful look.

He is only fifty years old, and his years of riding have allowed him to maintain a vigorous figure and a healthy physique, but the precocious Hua on his temples, the deep wrinkles on his forehead, and the eyes that conceal melancholy reveal his physical and mental exhaustion. Things in the army are complicated, and local things are even more complicated, and as a veteran of the Weifu Army, he has fought all his life and is almost old, but he was "driven out" of the army and struggling in a completely unfamiliar place, which is a pain, a torment, and a disguised punishment for him. He can't see hope, but he is not reconciled, and the ambition hidden in his heart is like an unquenchable flame in the wind and rain, burning tenaciously and supporting him to persevere. He felt very tired, he looked for the faint hope that could exist in his exhaustion, for this faint hope, he had to raise his knife, he had to kill people, but the blood made him more desperate, and he was full of guilt.

Zhang Xutuo pondered for a long time, and then slowly turned his eyes to look at Qin Qiong.

He likes Qin Qiong and values Qin Qiong, he sees his past from this young general, and sees his hard work, but he has fallen into despair in the cage of the gate lord clan government, and the era of relying on military merit to become a new aristocrat has become history, and the unified Middle Earth is controlled by the old nobles and the new nobles, and they jointly divide the power and wealth of Middle Earth, and at the same time firmly block the hope of other classes. Fortunately, the emperor was reforming, trying to implement the centralized system, and curbing and weakening the unscrupulous plundering of power and wealth in Middle-earth, which gave Zhang Xutuo hope. However, the progress of the reform is too difficult, and Zhang Xutuo believes that it is impossible for him to see the success of the reform and enjoy the fruits of the reform, but he hopes that Qin Qiong will not repeat his mistakes, and hopes that Qin Qiong can realize his personal ideals and ambitions in his lifetime.

Qin Qiong still hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Ming Gong, we must take into account the Eastern Expedition, whether the Donglai Naval Division can cross the sea and fight as scheduled is directly related to the success or failure of the Eastern Expedition, so the stability of the situation in Qilu is the top priority. ”

The reason why Zhang Xutuo was able to win the understanding of the emperor and the center and grant him the right to command the army was from the position of the Eastern Crusade. From this fact, Zhang Xutuo can even put his courage a little bigger, wave the military power in his hand to the extreme, and even set aside the Right Houwei Mansion and Zhou Fashang, and carry out chaos and suppression of thieves in the entire territory of Qilu, but the premise is that he must ensure the stability of the Qilu region and ensure that the Donglai Naval Division can cross the sea to fight within the scheduled time, otherwise, the emperor and the center will definitely take his head to kill a hundred examples.

Zhang Xutuo bowed slightly and agreed with what Qin Qiong said.

"Ming Gong forced the thieves of Changbai Mountain out of Qi County and drove them into Lu County, the purpose of which was to use the strong strength of the Eagle Yang of Lu County to carry out front and rear attacks on the thief army, but now the Xuzhou thieves suddenly entered Lu County, occupied Mengshan, and launched an attack on the hinterland of Lu County along the Surabaya line, leading to a sudden drastic change in the situation in Lu County. Duan made Jun suffer from the enemy on his back and was in danger, and he would inevitably vent his anger on General Peng Cheng Dong and Ming Gong. With Duan Envoy's background, if he plays impeachment, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to Ming Gong, after all, Ming Gong failed to encircle and suppress the thieves in Changbai Mountain in Qi County, which can be regarded as giving people a handle. ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Xutuo asked.

"From Duan Yuanjun's position, he was caught off guard, in order to ensure the stability of Lu County, he could only concentrate on dealing with the Xuzhou thieves who occupied Mengshan first, so of course, he didn't want Ming Gong to drive Wang Bo and Meng Rang thieves into Mengshan, so as to throw all the trouble to him, so, in a certain opinion, it is better for Ming Gong to compromise, and it is also the best policy to retreat."

"What does it mean to retreat as advance?" Zhang Xutuo stroked his long hair with his hand and smiled, he had already understood the meaning of Qin Qiong's words, but he seemed to want to prove it, so he continued to ask.

"Ming Gong and Duan Envoy Jun put on a front and back attack on both sides of Wenshui, Wang Bo and Meng Rang lost their ground and had to flee to the mountains of Yingxian County, forming a stalemate. The Xuzhou thieves occupied Mengshan, captured Surabaya, captured Qufu, threatened the Bianqiu, and forced Duan Zhijun to return to the rescue, which happened to break the deadlock. If Duan Envoy Jun withdrew to the Surabaya line, he gave Wang Bo and Meng Rang the opportunity to go south, and if Ming Gong did not give Duan Envoy Jun support, let Wang Bo and Meng Rang go south into Mengshan, let the two bandit armies join forces, and Yan zhòng endangered the stability of the Qilu situation, then Duan Envoy Jun would inevitably turn against Ming Gong, and Ming Gong would also be in a passive position, and it would be difficult to explain to the emperor and the center. ”

Qin Qiong stopped when she said this, and looked at Zhang Xutuo with blazing eyes. He has already analyzed the stakes clearly, if Zhang Xutuo refuses to accept it, or disdains it, then there is no need for him to say the following countermeasures.

Zhang Xutuo nodded vigorously, "As you said, you can't turn against Duan Envoy. The situation in Qilu was already complicated, and the Duke of Qi (Zhou Fashang), who was waiting for the right guard mansion, was extremely strong and commanded the Qilu counties. If a certain and Duan envoy turn against each other, then they will be in the arms of the prince, and from then on Qilu can only obey him. ”
