However, years of conquest have made the military strength of the Satsuma Domain extremely strong, even in Japan, where the samurai are rampant, it can be regarded as one of the best elite soldiers, even if Yanagi Yuba talked about the samurai and ronin of the Shimazu family, he also talked about it with a very strict expression, and today I heard Lu Bing say that Xu Hai colluded with the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, and the wolf suddenly understood the reason why Xu Hai's department was so strong.

Thinking of this, the wolf shook his head: "In my opinion, although Wang Zhi's subordinates have a large number, most of them are coastal rebels, and it is good to have two real widows among the ten people, and most of them are ronins among the widows, while Xu Hai's subordinates are those elite Shimazu regular army, and their combat power is far from being comparable to Wang Zhi, if you really want to eliminate it, it is better to destroy Xu Hai first." ”

Lu Bing waved his hand: "This is a later story, it is also a major military situation of the anti-Japanese war, we are just Jinyiwei, we can't cross the country Hu Xianxian to decide this kind of business, if you have your own opinion, you can mention it to Hu Zongxian, and that strategist Xu Wenchang, oh, by the way, your old friend Tan Lun is also with Xu Zongxian now, if it is inconvenient to talk to Hu Zongxian directly, you can also communicate with him privately." ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly: "When I was still Li Cangxing, I only had a relationship with Tan Lun, and I didn't even say a few words, I can't talk about being an old friend, and now that he has been promoted, he won't remember me as a nobody." ”

Lu Bing smiled: "You can rest assured about this, I have a good relationship with Tan Lun, because of Shen Lian's relationship, he didn't treat me as a spy leader, and I also chatted with him all night before I came over from Hu Zongxian this time." Although this person is a rising star of the Qing School, he admires Hu Zongxian a lot, and the two can be said to be friends who have forgotten their years. This was probably something that Xu Jie and others of the Qing School who sent him to Zhejiang did not expect. ”

Tian Wolf was a little surprised: "He and Hu Zongxian actually have such a good relationship?" Not really. ”

Lu Bing nodded: "Hu Zongxian has been in the southeast for a few years, and he can be regarded as exhausting his wisdom, a few years ago, it was rampant, and the kind of pirate-style assault that could directly attack the Japanese under the city of Nanjing has never been seen again in the past few years, and they can no longer attack the towns within a hundred miles of the coast, which is all Hu Zongxian's work." Last time, Nobuyuki Kamiizumi was bought by the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, and he wanted to explore the reality of our Ming mainland, and the Shimazu family had great ambitions. There is arrogance in invading the Central Plains, if it weren't for the last time you took action to wipe out all this group of Japanese robbers, and let them know that there are people in my Central Plains, I am afraid that the Shimazu family will send a large army to invade in the next two years. ”

Sky Wolf said coldly, "I don't think so. Under the city of Nanjing. If I am the lord of the Shimazu clan, I will definitely think that only a few dozen Japanese can hit the city of Nanjing, if there are thousands of troops and horses, then at least they can sweep the southeast and cut off the king, until now I don't understand why I put Shangquan Shinyuki back!"

Lu Bingzheng said: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other." The last time the Japanese were able to drill under the city of Nanjing, it was precisely because there were few of them. It is not easy to capture a small group of wandering pirates, and the pirates have always boasted of their high martial arts, but their first swordsman in the East, Yanagi Xiongba, did not get a bargain from you, even a group of people from the rivers and lakes we temporarily recruited in Nanjing City can completely annihilate this gang of pirates. ”

"So if the Shimazu army really invades, I have thousands of men in China who can serve the country from the army and beat him, and besides, my Central Plains is thousands of miles, far from the projectile land of the Japanese country, and Kamiizumi Nobuyuki and others will run around like headless flies all the way, not knowing the direction, relying on them alone, it is impossible to gain a foothold in the Central Plains."

Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "So in the past few years, they have turned to support a traitor like Xu Hai, and let Xu Hai, who is familiar with the situation in the mainland, lead the way, right?" ”

Lu Bing said with a smile: "That's right, Xu Hai's biggest help to these Japanese is not his art of war, but his familiarity with the mainland, Xu Hai also traveled all over the world when he was in the Hupao Temple, and he is familiar with the troops in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, the mountains and rivers passes, every time he comes out to rob the elite soldiers of the Shimazu family, he agrees with the lord of the Shimazu clan in advance how many people to bring, where to rob, and how much money he shares. ”

"It can be said that he is just a traitor like Zhao Quan, and Xu Hai does not have many people under his hands, and he usually only sneaks into the mainland in makeup before the robbery to explore the military situation, so Xu Hai, Chen Dong, and Ma Ye, these traitors, do not have their own real soldiers in their hands, and they are completely relying on the power of the Japanese people, and the fox is just a fake tiger."

"But such people are endless, and they can't be killed, we killed a Xu Hai today, and there will be other traitors who will take this road, that is, the profiteers under Wang Zhi, most of them also have the ability to lead the way, so it is useless for us to get rid of a Xu Hai, with the meaning of Xu Wenchang and Hu Zongxian, it is best to provoke a fire within the Japanese Kou, let Wang Zhi and Xu Hai have a big fight, and it is best to let Wang Zhi turn to attack the Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain, so that the disaster will lead to the East, and our Ming Dynasty will have no worries."

Tianlu Qi said: "Why did Wang Zhi attack the Shimazu family, so how could there be a Japanese for him to drive?" ”

Lu Bingzheng said: "Japan is now in the Warring States Period, even within the East, it is also a war and chaos, in Kyushu, the Shimazu family and the Ito family in the north of Osumi Province are mortal enemies, Wang Zhi is just selling arms to these Japanese people, transporting military rations, not like Xu Hai is so stubbornly attached to the Shimazu family, so I can recognize this, so I can plan and force Wang Zhi to target Japan, not my Ming." ”

The wolf completely understood Hu Zongxian's thoughts at this time, and sighed: "It seems that Hu Zongxian has really done his homework on Japan, who is that strategist Xu Wenchang, has he also been to the East?" How do you know so much about the shape over there? ”

Lu Bing smiled: "This Xu Wenchang, whose real name is Xu Wei, is a fellow villager of Shen Lian, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, his father Xu Wei, who was a former official to the same knowledge of Kuizhou Mansion in Sichuan, gave birth to two sons and died early, and the follow-up string Miao, this Miao family can not have children, Xu Wenchang's biological mother is the maid of this Miao family, and later became a concubine and gave birth to Xu Wenchang, and the Miao family is very fond of Xu Wenchang and is regarded as a child. took it under his own name to raise him, but drove Xu Wenchang's biological mother out of the house. ”

"A hundred days after Xu Wenchang was born, his biological father died. Because the two eldest brothers went out early to set up their own doors, Miao became the head of the family, and while driving away Xu Wenchang's biological mother, he also loved Xu Wenchang very much, and provided him with education and school. In addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, painting and calligraphy, and divination in the art of war. All of them are fine, all of them are perfect. ”

Later, the Miao family also died, and Xu Wenchang was a concubine, and all the family property was divided by the two eldest brothers. Food and clothing are scarce. I had to live with my eldest brother for a period of time, and later I joined the Pan family, which solved the problem of livelihood. ”

Hear here. Tian Wolf was a little unconvinced: "Since this person is so talented, how can he not even be able to pass the exam?" I think even corrupt officials like Liu Donglin are. Isn't it easy to get into the Jinshi? ”

Lu Bing shook his head: "Heavenly wolf, you haven't participated in the eight shares, I don't know the mystery of this, the so-called eight shares of the exam, you need to write in a fixed form, a fixed article, not simply test your allusions and literary talents, Xu Wen is a long talent, painting and calligraphy are all caused by the intention, in one go, as if the imagination is eclectic, he is not suitable for the kind of people who need to have fixed thinking, rigid format of the eight strands, I and Shen Lian have talked about this matter many times, he just holds this view, Xu Wenchang in this life, At most, you can only win one person, and it is impossible to go to Beijing to try it. ”

The wolf sighed: "No wonder it is said that there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, our martial artists are much simpler and more direct, who has high martial arts, you can see it at a glance when fighting, how can you write an article like these literati and look at the format, it is really depressing." But it's a pity that this Xu Wenchang, who is so talented, can't get ahead. ”

Lu Bing said with a smile: "There is no endless road, although Xu Wenchang has tried and failed, but it is rare that as a literati, he also has the ambition to serve the country, when the Japanese invaded, he also took off his long shirt and wore short clothes, alone with the villagers who volunteered to resist the Japanese, went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation, and witnessed the war with his own eyes, and he also talked with many people who went abroad, and even returned after being captured by the Japanese to understand the situation in Japan. The year before last, Hu Zongxian heard about his deeds, and was recommended by Shen Lian, so he recruited this Xu Wenchang into his military government and introduced him as a strategist. ”

"Hu Zongxian has a large amount of information about the Japanese Invaders, which is intricate and has many sources, and there are also many misleading and false information with ulterior motives of the Japanese people, Xu Wenchang arrived at Hu Zongxian for less than three months, and he sifted out reliable and true information from these materials in the vast Han like a sea of smoke, and compiled them into a book and presented it to Hu Zongxian, I have also read this booklet, and the information in it is almost exactly the same as what you heard from the Japanese man Liu Sheng Xiongba at that time, and even more detailed."

Tianluo nodded: "It's rare that this Xu Wenchang, a literati can still have such ambition to serve the country and help the world, in comparison, Yan Song's father and son who occupy the pit and don't are really a shame for scholars!"

Lu Bing laughed: "You don't need to find an opportunity to scold Yan Song's father and son everywhere, but although Xu Wenchang is a literati, he is well versed in the art of war, especially good at military training, when I went to Hu Zongxian, I happened to see him and Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, two generals discussing the issue of military training together, and his people are quite scheming, insight into human nature, and there are many insidious methods that are not visible, but his methods are only aimed at the Japanese and have not been used on his own people, if you go to Hu Zongxian, and Xu Wenchang intersects, you must keep an extra eye on it. ”

Heavenly Wolf smiled: "I have my own measure of this, but I think Xu Wenchang's methods are only used to deal with the enemy, to deal with the Japanese Kou, my identity is Jinyiwei, and he is his own person, he can't make a trick to deal with me." ”

Lu Bing put away his smile and said coldly: "Heavenly wolf, you must put yourself in a clear position, you are Jinyiwei, our Jinyiwei is to collect intelligence externally, monitor important ministers internally, and specialize in handling major cases, your going to Zhejiang itself is on behalf of me, on behalf of the emperor to monitor Hu Zongxian, he will be polite to you on the surface, but in his heart he will never treat you as his own person, don't forget your mission, you must keep an eye on Hu Zongxian, after all, he is Yan Song's party, if Yan Song opens his mouth to ask for it, I don't know if he's going to miss the state business. ”

Sky Wolf's heart sank suddenly, and he said, "I understand, I will always keep a clear head, so as not to affect my judgment." ”

Lu Bing nodded: "The reason why you let you go." It's because you've been brilliant in resourcefulness and have been undercover for many years, so I don't need to worry about that. It's just that you have to distinguish friend from foe, don't be rash, and really make friends with the object of surveillance, which will only blindfold you and interfere with your judgment. ”

Heavenly Wolf said in a deep voice: "No, I will assume that Hu Zongxian has a problem and look at what he has done with suspicion." He can't fool me on this, and I can appear in many different guises and probe him from different angles when necessary. ”

Lu Bing looked up at the sky with satisfaction. The two of them had a long talk for most of the day, and when they came, it was still three poles in the sun, and it was already sunset. Lu Bing said, "Okay. That's it, the gold medal is still that piece, if you need assistance, you can go directly to the Jinyiwei branch in Hangzhou, and the money, money and manpower will be taken as required. I'll go first, don't forget today's conversation. With that, Lu Bing's figure moved, and he disappeared into the small alley like lightning, connecting the birds on the trees in the courtyard. They were all chattering, and they didn't feel that there was one less person in the courtyard all of a sudden.

Sky Wolf thought about it alone in the yard for a long time. After clarifying his thoughts, he returned to the inn, Qu Caifeng was still drinking alone in the inn, and when he saw the wolf pushing the door in, he said unhappily: "You are going, it's really long enough, is there anything new?" ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "Miss Qu, this is not a place to talk, let's talk about it in another place." ”

Qu Caifeng nodded, followed the wolf out of the inn, the two went out of the city before dark, the wolf raised his breath, ran all the way with light skills, Qu Caifeng followed closely, the two of them went to the grove where the wolf met Mu Lanxiang and others last night, and then stopped his steps, Qu Caifeng looked at this dark wood, and coldly "snorted": "You met your little sister here yesterday." ”

Heavenly Wolf nodded: "Yes, a few years ago, when I was chasing the Japanese Kou, I also met the first swordsman in the East, Yanagi Xiongba, here, and yesterday was only a revisit, but I brought Miss Qu here today to inquire about important matters, and it has nothing to do with other things, Miss Qu Please don't talk about him left and right." ”

The corners of Qu Caifeng's mouth hooked: "Seeing that you brought me to such a remote place, you know that you have to get down to business, why have you talked with that Tan Lun for so long today?" What's new? ”

Sky Wolf Zhengse said: "What kind of Tan Lun is that, it is Lu Bing's disguise." ”

Qu Caifeng snorted coldly: "I knew it was this guy, and the internal affairs of your Jinyiwei would naturally not be said to me, an outsider." ”

Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "Miss Qu, Lu Bing naturally has something important to discuss with me, which is related to military affairs, and it doesn't matter if the girl listens to it, I will only briefly say two things, first, Qiu Luan has been killed by Yan Song's father and son, and we don't have to bother to trouble Yan Party in the near future." Second, I have to go to Hangzhou alone, and I have other tasks, so I may not be able to continue with Miss Qu. ”

Qu Caifeng didn't seem to be too surprised, she said softly: "Qiu Luan is really finished, I know that this guy can't support the wall in the mud, and he can't fight Yan Song at all, in fact, as soon as you came to me, I felt that you couldn't succeed, but it wasn't good to dampen your enthusiasm, after all, you helped me so much, Yan Shifan actually appeared here yesterday, I can vaguely guess that his pressure in Beijing has been lifted, so I can rest assured that I can get out of Beijing, but I didn't expect Qiu Luan to be so useless, and he fell in less than two months." Can you tell us more about the specific situation? ”

Heavenly Wolf secretly admired this Qu Caifeng and a female stream, but he also had such a judgment, he roughly said the process of Qiu Luan's downfall, heard Qu Caifeng sigh for a long time, and finally said faintly: "It's a pity, it seems that these Qing School ministers are all old treacherous and slippery, and they can't be relied on at all, Li Cangxing, you must be careful of these people in the future, one of them is not careless and sold to others." ”

Heavenly Wolf sighed: "The officialdom is dark, in fact, I am also a little disheartened, after defeating the Yan Party, I am too lazy to participate in this officialdom anymore, maybe the torrent retreats, and the roaring mountains and forests are my future choices." ”

Qu Caifeng smiled slightly: "That is, you and I are both sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and if you don't become a brocade guard in the future, you can come to our Wushan faction." It also saves the splint from being caught in the middle of these corrupt officials all day long. ”

Tian Wolf said: "That's a matter of the future, let's bring down the Yan Party first, but now we can't directly confront Yan Song's father and son, the Japanese invaders appeared in Nanjing City because Hu Zongxian played a secret music to the emperor, now the north is tight, and the south is not suitable for raising more soldiers, Hu Zongxian appeased the Japanese Kou on the one hand, invited a few Japanese leaders to come over to talk about the business, and on the other hand, he also secretly mobilized good generals, trained elite soldiers, and prepared for the decisive battle with the Japanese Kou in the future. This time, I will send Hu Zongxian to monitor his behavior, so as to see if he is truly anti-Japanese or traitorous to the enemy like Qiu Luan. ”

Qu Caifeng's eyebrows moved: "I don't bother to care about these things, you can go alone, but I remind you to have one more heart, today when you are not there, I went to Languifang and touched the bottom of Xu Hai, it turns out that he and Wang Cuiqiao have known each other for a long time." ”

The Sky Wolf was quite surprised by this, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" (To be continued......)
