Lu Xiangsheng's worries were not unreasonable, although he had not been fighting with the rogues for a long time, he found one thing, there were also smart people among the rogues, and there were many smart people.

The government is thinking about how to eliminate the rogue, and the rogues are also thinking about how to deal with the government, and in the process, the rogues are growing rapidly. From being recruited by Yang He, a nerd, to the banner of the ancient Yuan Zhenlong Emperor in the ancestral mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Feng'yang, there is a vague trend in this.

However, it is a little out of place to mention this at this wedding banquet celebrating the great victory and the siege of Chuzhou. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng did not continue.

He didn't say it, but Li Juesi still understood what he meant, and laughed: "Hasn't Premier Lu already appointed the generals to pursue the attack, or the ancestral general soldier, and now he is still chasing the enemy outside, and when the ancestral general soldier comes back, we have to hold another celebration banquet, maybe then he will bring the first achievement of the thief!" ”

"Exactly, exactly!" Liu Dagong also said.

Fang Kongzhi twisted his beard, as silent as Lu Xiangsheng. Li Juesi was a little afraid that he would offend Lu Xiangsheng, so he woke him up and said: "Qianfu, your nephew-in-law came to aid Chuzhou on your orders this time, and the contribution he made is not small. ”

Fang Kongzhi smiled slightly: "This is not necessary, although my nephew is a good man, he has the means to make money, so the "Storm Collection", "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" and "People's Livelihood Express" are handled by him, only "People's Livelihood Express", he has to earn him a thousand taels of silver in a month. Now that the court is in difficulty, I heard that this time it is to suppress the thief, and His Majesty will even send out empty money, which can save some money...... However, his surname likes the fields, so when the time comes, he can choose a place and enjoy some fields with him, which is the foundation of the family heirloom. ”

What he said before made Lu Xiangsheng frown slightly. Until now, he felt that he couldn't see through Yu Guozhen, but one thing was certain, if this person was a coward, his disaster would be greater than Gao Yingxiang. But hearing that he liked the fields, Lu Xiangsheng immediately calmed down.

Those who love the land cannot rebel.

"Brother Qianfu is thoughtful, I don't know what he is thinking?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

"Thinking about Premier Lu's words, Premier Lu is right, the thief is really a problem for the court's henchmen, if you don't take it early, there will be endless troubles...... However, Xia Guan thought that it was not enough to just kill a thief. Since the beginning of the army, the general leader has changed five or six, one thief is more fierce than the other, after the thief, Anzhi will not produce more ferocious and cunning people? ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again, deeply convinced.

"In the opinion of the hidden husband, how to cure the root?"

"Now there is Hong Hengjiu in the northwest, Shi Daolin in the east, Gyeonggi Zhili about the Ning army, and Zhang Yuzhi in the south of the Yangtze River. One of them is Huguang, and the other is Bashu. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Kongzhi sighed, and then stopped talking.

"Brother Qianfu is a gentleman, and he doesn't want to say it directly. Huguang and Bashu ...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult. Lu Xiangsheng also sighed.

Of course, he knew the meaning of Fang Kongzhi's unspoken words, the officials of Huguang and Bashu, I am afraid that they will not be able to help the Liukou, and Huguang is even worse among them. After all, the Liukou are now divided into two groups, one of which is carried by the general who has passed through the sky and the stars and other small stars in Shaanxi, and their strength is weaker. The other team gathered the fierce generals such as King Chuang, Cao Ying, and the Eight Kings, with 300,000 people, and they were relatively strong. And if the latter group wants to enter Bashu, it must pass through Huguang.

But the current governor of Huguang is Lu Xiangsheng himself, he is so busy that he has no time to take care of it.

"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, the officials will arrange it, and the court will deal with it." When Li Juesi found Lu Xiangsheng sighing, he looked at himself, panicked slightly, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

Lu Xiangsheng is now the prime minister of the military affairs of the five provinces, whether it is from the practice of the dynasty or from the point of view of his personal energy, he has to resign from the post of Chu Fu, and now the thieves are going west, they must make peace with the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong, and the losses they have suffered in Nanzhili are only afraid that they will go to Huguang to seek supplements. Therefore, although he was promoted to the governor of Huguang and was a feudal official, it was not satisfactory for Li Juesi, but he was roasted on the fire. This time Shouchu's matter, one time is enough, and this credit is enough for him to find a squire or something like a squire in the sixth department, and wait quietly for promotion, there is no need for such trouble!

Lu Xiangsheng really likes Li Juesi, although Li Juesi was not famous before, but he is not a servant Siqing who manages military horses, and he is always familiar with military affairs, and the defense of Chuzhou's city makes him quite appreciated, and he doesn't need the new Chu Fu to be more capable, just ask him not to know the two wars as soon as the thieves come.

Li Juesi still has a set of rules in defending the city, and he is the right person.

But Li Juesi has clearly expressed his refusal, and he can't force others. What's more, although his recommendations and suggestions will play a big role in personnel appointments, the power is in the hands of the Son of Heaven after all.

"The submersible man is not worried about the thief, he must think that the thief will be caught, right?" Li Juesi was about to divert the topic, and when he saw Fang Kongzhi who was still pondering, he had an idea, although the two of them belonged to the same Donglin branch, but at this time it was time for the dead poor Dao to be better than the dead Dao friends.

"There is the Son of Heaven Hongfu, Prime Minister Lu Wuwei, and the thieves are very likely to be caught." Fang Kongzhi groaned slightly, and said something that surprised everyone.

Fang Kongzhi didn't talk much after coming to Chu, and every word must be true, so Li Juesi and Liu Dagong sat up straight, Li Juesi glanced at Lu Xiangsheng: "If the ancestor general soldier captures the thief, there will be a battle report soon." ”

"General Soldier Zu is a northerner, and he is not familiar with the geography of Nanzhili, he still needs a bit of luck if he wants to catch the thief." Fang Kongzhi said: "It's the nephew and son-in-law of the lower official, who once said to the lower official that in order to fight with the thieves in the old years, he was more pro-detective in the geography of Nanzhili, where there is a trail, where it is appropriate to hide soldiers, he knows it well." Therefore, before entering Chu, the lower official had ordered him to parade outside to prevent the thieves from getting out. ”

There was a little shame in his tone, this was actually the result of his discussion with Yu Guozhen, not what he gave to Yu Guozhen. But in order to highlight his merits in this matter, Yu Guozhen insisted that he say so, and he himself felt that perhaps only in this way would it be the most beneficial to Daming.

Subordinate to the state.

"If that's the case, then the tricker will have made the first contribution, haha......" Li Juesi smirked with good-natured smiles.

Lu Xiangsheng also shook his head slightly, saying that it was even more unreliable than Zu Kuan catching up with King Chuang.

However, at this moment, a person came in from outside, it was Fang Kongzhi's servant, he shook at the door, Fang Kongzhi saw him and asked, "What's the matter, just say it." ”

"My nephew and uncle sent a letter to deliver it, saying that it was ......" The servant glanced at the people at the banquet: "At the junction of 'An and Xu', the thief was captured. ”

"What?"

"Wow!"

"Dang!"

All kinds of voices suddenly filled the living room where the banquet was placed, and almost half of the people stood up in shock, including Lu Xiangsheng, who was sitting at the top.

Because he was in too much of a hurry to get up, the desk in front of him was knocked down, and the tableware fell to the ground.

But at this time, no one cared about these small details, and everyone was still reminiscing about what the servant of the Fang family had just said.

Thief ...... Just captured!

Even Fang Kongzhi was stunned at this time. Although he verbally said that Yu Guozhen might capture Gao Yingxiang, he didn't expect that this kind of thing would really happen, he just wanted to emphasize that he was prepared before coming to Shouchu to show his familiarity with military strategy in front of Lu Xiangsheng.

However, he has been immersed in silver for a long time, and he is quite good at cultivating qi, and after a few deep breaths, he condensed and said, "Invite someone in!" ”

For Yu Guozhen's family guards, Fang Kongzhi has always been polite and does not regard him as a servant. When he was at home, he also specially warned his children, especially Fang Ziyi, that when he became the head mother of the Yu family in the future, he must not despise these family guards.

So at this time, he has not forgotten the word "please".

After a while, the messenger was brought, and Li Juesi saw that his figure was a little familiar, and when he saw a knife across his left and right waists, he remembered the figure who was saying that he was showing his majesty under the city of Chuzhou.

"You are Tian Boguang?" He asked.

came to salute with crossed hands, but did not kneel, and his expression did not have the panic of ordinary people when they saw high-ranking officials. He said calmly: "The villain is Tian Boguang, on the order of my son-in-law, I have come to report the good news to Master Fang and all the masters, the thief has been arrested, and he is being sent to Chu'zhou at a rapid pace, less than ten miles away from the city!" ”

"This person is the warrior who saved the military academy sent by the prime minister under the city." Li Juesi explained to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were full of envy, when he saw Qi Niu beside Yu Guozhen, he felt that such a warrior should serve the country, and now when he saw Tian Boguang, he couldn't help but sigh.

That Yu Guozhen is just a white body, why is there a lot of talent around him! It's a pity, such a person, but he can't be used by the imperial court!

"How did the thief get caught?" He sighed, then asked.

Tian Boguang did not hide it, in fact, as long as he analyzed Yu Guozhen's style of using the army, he could guess that he must have a tight intelligence network near Chuzhou. When he heard that Yu Guozhen found the trace of the thief going north, and then pursued him overnight, Lu Xiangsheng slapped his leg and sighed again: "A white-clothed people, for the country is still sparing, if the civil and military officials can do this, why worry about the injustice!" ”

When Shigu Village was difficult to attack because of the dangerous road, he used a trick to force the thieves out of the village and flee in the starry night, Lu Xiangsheng slapped his leg again and sighed: "Reason for this, it should be so, cherish the soldiers, the soldiers will not hesitate to kill to repay, Yu Jimin knows the art of war!" ”

Tian Boguang said that when he bluffed again and again at night, causing the thieves to collapse in chaos, including pretending to be Lu Xiangsheng's Heavenly Heroes and Zukuan's Guan Ning Army, Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, but Liu Dagong, patted his thigh and sighed: "This is what Mr. Qianfu said about Prime Minister Lu Wuwei!" ”

This is a clear sycophant, but it is just right, and everyone is not flattering, even Fang Kongzhi and Li Juesi, and they can't help but nod with a smile on their faces at this time. Lu Xiangsheng smiled on his beard, but did not respond.

Everyone quickly quieted down again, urging Tian Boguang to go down. Tian Boguang didn't sell the guanzi either, and finished talking about the last thing that was about to intercept the thief on the official road and then send it back overnight.

After he finished speaking, there was silence in the hall at first, and then I don't know who started first, and a tsk sounded.
