Shi Kefa held his head, his eyes were dizzy, and the expression on his face was really about crying without tears.

In the past year, he has really worked hard to settle up to one million victims, although it is inevitable that there will be people who die of cold, but there is no civil uprising, and Donglin has not lost face because of him.

Even the Son of Heaven issued an edict to reward him once, and Wen Zhenmeng, who was dismissed at home, is also said to have been rewarded for recommending people. Shi Kefa didn't understand at this time, this was Emperor Chongzhen's imperial means of beating and touching, and it was also a trick to balance the strength of Donglin and Wen Tiren's party, he just naively thought that maybe he had done a good job, even if Wen Zhenmeng couldn't recover, the rest of the gentlemen and bigwigs in Donglin, such as Huang Daozhou and the like, could also enter the cabinet.

But at the end of the year, things changed again.

"Xiuzhi, you say...... Why does this rogue always come to my side, I just want to live in peace and protect the peace of the court for the court, why is it so difficult to survive! Hearing the footsteps outside the door of the study, Shi Kefa's eyelids moved, and he said with a long sigh.

The person who came in was Zhang Chi.

Since the Anlu War at the beginning of the year, he has been working beside Shi Kefa, talking less and doing things more diligently. Hearing Shi Kefa's words, he also sighed lightly.

"Yue Wu Mu Youyun, civil officials do not love money, military generals are not afraid of death, then the world is peaceful. This is so simple, everyone understands the truth, but since the establishment of Yan, there have been five or six hundred years now, when has the world been peaceful? ”

"What should we do now?"

"In the past half a year, the master has not slackened, not only to settle the homeless, but also to select the young and strong, and have trained 8,000 officers and soldiers, including Sun Kexian, Pan Keda, Cheng Long and other brave generals, and there are Lu Inspector, Governor Zhu, Zuo Liangyu and other generals, as long as they can stick to and wait for help, why worry about the thief?"

Zhang Chi didn't have much talent, but after the big battle with Zhang Xianzhong at the beginning of the year, he now knew that his boss also lacked military strategy. Defending the fortified city may be okay, but if you want to go out to fight, you are asking for your own death.

In fact, Shi Kefa who defended the city only knew how to close the four doors to see the moves, like Yu Guozhen, he also set a trap to kill Zhang Kewang when he defended the city, and he couldn't do it.

Shi Kefa didn't like it when he heard this, but mourned.

He is an upright person, and he consciously follows in the footsteps of his teacher all his life, practicing the Tao, and the only thing that makes him feel remorse in his heart is to "sell" 100,000 people to Zheng Zhilong and Yu Guozhen in exchange for food for the resettlement of disaster victims. Therefore, he almost wept and said: "I abandoned 100,000 people, so as to support the people, and now the people's livelihood is not restless, and the thieves are coming, what can I do about it!" ”

Zhang Chi felt irritable for a while, and at this moment, an errand came in to report: "Deputy Envoy Sun asks to see you." ”

Sun Lin was recommended by Shi Kefa, and got a fictitious position experienced in the Luzhou Prefecture Experience Division, and at the same time served as a temporary position in the army of the deputy envoy of the Anlu Dao Supervision Army, so the errand was called "Deputy Envoy Sun". He has always prided himself on being a general Fei, but now that he has the post of deputy envoy in the army, he thinks that Yu Guozhen is a well-trained soldier, and he fights with those young men who have been recruited.

Shi Kefa heard Sun Lin's request to see, and his heart was slightly happy, he had seen Sun Lin's divine shooting with his own eyes, and Sun Lin also had a lot of skills in military training, so he hurriedly said: "Invite him in!" ”

After a while, Sun Lin, dressed in military uniform, strode in front of Shi Kefa. Today's Sun Lin is only twenty-seven years old, with a slight beard, heroic eyebrows, and no anger and self-authority. He came to Shi Kefa, and after saluting, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Why is the governor still sitting here, the thieves are coming, whether to fight or defend, there must be a strategy!" ”

He was indeed dissatisfied, so he spoke a little politely. He participated in the last war with Yu Guozhen, and in his opinion, like Yu Guozhen, he had made sufficient preparations before the war, and he must not wait until the beginning of the war to start preparations.

If you don't prepare, you will be wasted, this is a phrase that Yu Guozhen often hangs on his lips.

And after Shi Kefa got the news, he didn't act for so long, which really made Sun Lin anxious.

"What Keham said is, I was mistaken, I was mistaken!" Shi Kefa was shocked, he got up and said: "Xiuzhi, you immediately arrange for people to send a message, order all the states and counties under your rule, be strictly vigilant, and the people of the four towns will enter the city to avoid thieves." ”

Zhang Chi responded and left in a hurry. Shi Kefa turned to Sun Lin again: "Kexian, if the thieves enter the country, they will come to attack my Luzhou City, and this official will arrange manpower to introduce the people from the left into the city." ”

Hearing what he meant, he was preparing to defend the city, Sun Lin frowned slightly: "If you don't fight with the enemy, you only care about defending the city, for fear of hurting the morale of the soldiers." ”

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly, Sun Lin was eager to try, but the last war made Shi Kefa afraid, he was really afraid of thieves, so he shook his head and said: "This time, it is not a thief, but a thief, and the thief unites all the thieves, there are 150,000 people, of which there are no less than 60,000 who can fight the fierce soldiers." Kexian, there are only thousands of recruits in the city now, and if you go out of the city to fight, if you are frustrated, you will have no strength to defend the city! ”

Although he was still a little unconvinced in his heart, Sun Lin also knew that what Shi Kefa said was right.

"Has the emergency been issued?" He still thought of one thing, and then his eyes lit up: "Governor Shi, have you sent the emergency document to Xiang'an?" ”

"Xiang'an?" Shi Kefa was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he asked Yu Guozhen for help: "Isn't Yu Jimin not in Xiang'an?" ”

"Jimin will get married in March next year, and he will definitely return to Xiang'an before the New Year." Sun Lin said with a smile: "Governor Shi rest assured, once I write a letter to the past, he will definitely come to help, with him, everything will be worry-free!" ”

Shi Kefa's face was a little hot, and he felt extremely embarrassed. If he was given a choice, he would never write a letter to Yu Guozhen, at the beginning of the year, the two split up and got into a lot of twists and turns, he really didn't want to see Yu Guozhen again.

When Sun Lin saw his appearance, he knew his thoughts: "Governor Shi, even if it's just for this peace of millions of people!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Kefa could no longer shirk it, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, then I ...... Then Kexian, you can send a letter to Yu Jimin. ”

After saying that, he added: "I hope he doesn't hold old grudges and ignore the big picture......

"Yu Jimin is not such a character!" Sun Lin said categorically.

"How can I, Yu Jimin, be such a person?"

Yu Guozhen squinted his eyes and glanced at Fang Yizhi dissatisfied, seeing that Fang Yizhi lowered his head in shame. But after a while, he still raised his face: "In this case, why don't Jimin immediately go to Luzhou to preside over military affairs, Anlu is the gateway of Nanzhili, and it will affect millions of people after it, so there must be no loss!" ”

Yu Guozhen smiled faintly: "I naturally know, but I only have six hundred people now, of which four hundred are still Xinding, you let me take them to Luzhou?" ”

Fang Yizhi was silent, there were thousands of officers and soldiers in Luzhou City, if these thousands of people were not enough, what was the use of Yu Guozhen bringing another 600 people?

"Brother Mi, you talk about military strategy, but in fact, you care about it." Yu Guozhen looked at him like this, and he wanted to save face for him after all.

"Jimin, don't save face for me, I'm talking on paper." Fang Yizhi said a little dejectedly: "That's what the boss said about me. ”

"In that case, I will tell you in detail." Yu Guozhen led him to the map again, pointing to a corner of the map: "The thieves came from the east, although they are rogues, but there are traces to be found." I have a high view of the high, and the cunning is better than the thief, and his subordinates are brave, which is incomparable to the thief. Therefore, he must act to make a sensation, and if he wants to do it, he will shake the world in one fell swoop, so he burned the Fengyang Emperor's tomb at the beginning of the year. ”

Fang Yizhi was not a fool, and immediately understood the meaning of Yu Guozhen's words, and said angrily: "The thieves want to attack Nan'jing!" ”

"Exactly, the entire Nanzhili garrison is empty, not an Lu mansion, and as far as I know, Shi Kefa has trained thousands of soldiers in the past half a year, and it is also a rare elite in Nanzhili, Lu's state capital city has thick walls, and the grain and grass are also abundant, Gao Yingxiang wants to shake the world and open the gateway to Nan'Beijing, and he will inevitably attack Lu' Prefecture."

Fang Yizhi's gaze twirled around the circle marking Lu' Prefecture on the map, and then raised his face to look at Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen didn't notice Fang Yizhi's gaze, he pointed to the map, and his mind was immersed in the joy of pointing out the country: "Lu'zhou City is full of soldiers, Shi Kefa is prepared, in addition, Sun Kexian is in Lu'zhou City, as long as the two of them are not stupid enough to go out of the city to fight, then Lu'zhou will be unbreakable!" As long as Shi Kefa can defend Lu's state for fifteen days, Cao Fu Zhu Dadian in the north, Prime Minister Lu Xiangsheng in the west, and General Soldier Zu Kuan will follow one after another. Although he was the first to arrive, he would not dare to fight, but would choose to wait and see. Lu Xiangsheng, the prime minister of the five provinces, is not, he fights with thieves, wins strategically, and has Zu Kuan and other fierce generals to help, the most worrying thing is that the rogue escapes, this kind of decisive battle under the city, he likes it the most! ”

When Yu Guozhen spoke, the whole person was in good spirits, exuding a dazzling brilliance, Fang Yizhi thought in his heart, his brother-in-law was really extraordinary, which made people break their hearts at first sight.

Fang Yizhi is not a mediocre person, and he is also a high-minded and arrogant person, if it weren't for Yu Guozhen's repeated tricks and endless means, it would not have made him so heartbroken.

"But if I were a rogue, I wouldn't end up like this. Gao Yingxiang will attack Lu' state, but the time may only be fifteen days, after fifteen days, the surrounding officers and soldiers are finished, then he only has two choices, one is to go north and then attack the imperial mausoleum, the other is to bypass Lu 'state, to the east to attack Chuzhou, Hezhou, if successful, to cross the river in these two places, attack Tianfu. ”

"That being the case, Jimin, you go to help defend Luzhou, why worry about guarding less than fifteen days, wait for fifteen days, and then hang the tail to attack, you will win a complete victory!"

"Hanging the tail and attacking will lead to a fiasco." Yu Guozhen's eyes were cold: "How can Gao Yingxiang not guard against this plan, what I want to do is to wait for the opportunity, and not enter Lu' State!" ”

Yu Guozhen still didn't say a word, in what capacity did he act when he entered Lu's state? In the city of Lu'zhou, he is restrained by Shi Kefa everywhere, and where can he compare to his patrol plane. Anyway, this winter is warmer again, Chao' Lake is not frozen, and he can rely on the water of Chao' Lake to reach the periphery of Lu' State at any time!

He wants to make himself like a beast hidden in the dark, and at the most critical moment, to deal a fatal blow to the thief.
