"Strange? Where did this new army go? It's so strange that it's gone in the blink of an eye! Li Yu received a report from his spies that after the new army went west, it disappeared, and even a trace was gone.

However, Li Yu also guessed that the new army may have used the idea of pretending to advance westward, but in fact advancing northward. It could be a spy to guard against the Black Snake Army, or it could be a spies to guard against someone else.

"This Zhao Xun, sure enough, there are two shots, and the soldiers who have been trained for less than two months can actually use the strategy to win three battles and three victories, and there are few casualties on his side." Li Yu muttered. looked at the silent niece at the dinner table, and said with a smile: "Ziyan, you really have vision this time, that Zhao Xun is really not bad." ”

As soon as she heard Zhao Xun, Su Ziyan felt uncomfortable for a while, and she didn't want her uncle and aunt to see her gaffe, so she pretended to be fine, bowed her head and said, "By the way, uncle, where did you say Zhao Xun and them just now?" ”

"I heard that there are horse thieves from the Black Snake Army in the north again, and they have gone to clear them." Li Yu said casually.

"The cavalry battalion of the Fire Lin Army has also been dispatched?" Su Ziyan asked with a trembling voice.

"Yes! That Zhao Xun's Jian yì said that in case the Black Snake Army had any conspiracy, he asked the Huolin Army cavalry battalion to assist, just in case. What's wrong? Questions? Seeing that Su Ziyan's face was a little ugly, Li Yu asked strangely.

"Zhao Xun is Zhao Xun, clean and neat!" Su Ziyan said with a pale face: "Uncle, Zhao Xun knows that I revealed his identity. After talking this morning, he immediately led his troops away, and even the cavalry battalion of the Huolin Army disappeared. What does this mean? Meaning, he already sees us as opponents! ”

"What? What's going on? When Li Yu heard this, his head suddenly became as big as a fight. It's not that he feels sorry for his 3,000 soldiers, those 3,000 soldiers are powerful, but without Zhao Xun's supply, the 3,000 soldiers not only have no good effect, but have a bad effect. Besides, although he is the commander of the new army, he may not be able to command them. What he was worried about was that Zhao Xun of the Huolin Army regarded them as enemies, and that would be the real catastrophe.

Su Ziyan smiled bitterly and explained to Li Yu what happened. After hearing this, Li Yu asked urgently: "Didn't you say that I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted him to take over my position?" ”

Su Ziyan's mouth was full of bitterness, and said, "He didn't listen to my explanation at all, no, he didn't give me a chance to explain at all." He made a decision and took action immediately. I dare to assert that in Gaoling County, the spies of the Huolin Army are everywhere, and if something happens, they will become cold killers who kill people without blinking. In Yingzhou Mansion, I know the strength of the killer team under the command of the Huolin Army. ”

Li Yu sighed helplessly and said, "How could it be like this?" In this way, we will stand still for the time being and do not make any moves. I think that Zhao Xun may not have been in Gaoling County immediately, and he is still watching our reaction. ”

"That's it! I don't know anything about this, I don't know anything about military affairs. Su Ziyan said listlessly.

Dufu in the north of the city.

Du Yuan listened to the slightly bulging belly and sat lazily on the Taishi chair, and on his side sat another major force of the Shunzhou Army to gather Gongsun Yang.

"Brother Du! Now that the new army is gone, it's time for us to act. If it goes on like this, the Shunzhou Army will be all Li Yu's world. The current new army has only been training for less than two months, and it has already surpassed our veterans. If we continue like this, there will be a place for us to stay. More importantly, the treatment of the new army is too good, in addition to the usual monthly money for soldiers, they also eat three meals a day, have enough food at a meal, and have meat to eat every five days, and those who died in war can receive a bereavement pension of 30 times, and their families do not have to pay taxes until the new soldiers reach adulthood. Let our soldiers already be dissatisfied. If Li Yu speaks and recruits more soldiers, then our subordinates will ......," Gongsun Yang said urgently.

Du Yuan said slowly: "Don't worry, the new army is indeed a good treatment, our subordinates are dissatisfied, isn't Li Yu's the same?" But your worries are not unreasonable. Once Li Yu integrates his subordinates into the new army and the salary is improved, it will be really difficult for us to survive. It's a pity that we were able to join in the first place, but we just gave it up ourselves. ”

"Why did you give up by yourself, it was obvious that Li Yu deliberately did this, and he didn't say anything at first, and when we made a decision, we let Zhao Yan come forward, not only with the new army, but also without spending a trace of money and food. This Li Yu is really lucky. Is it okay to act, I can contact the Black Snake Army at any time and let them do it, we won't invite accidents. When the time comes, the territory, the money, the women, what they want! I think that at the beginning, as the head of the government army, he was also at ease. But when he joined the Shunzhou Army, he became the grandson of the turtle. Gongsun Yang's face was not angry.

"By the way, what about the dozen or so people who are attached to my Shunzhou army? What do they mean? ”

"They? Cowardly as a mouse, nothing will come of it, only waiting for the ready-made ones later. Gongsun Yang said disdainfully.

"Forget it, clean them up sooner or later. Well, use your name to contact the Black Snake Army's men, and then quietly open the passage for the Black Snake Army to invade. By the way, keep a close eye on the movements of the Forces nouvelles and be careful of accidents. Du Yuan said cautiously.

"I know, you can rest assured!" Later, after the two discussed some details, Gongsun Yang left quietly. But neither of them found out that whether it was Gongsun Yang or Du Yuan, they had already been closely watched. Originally, the two of them were not masters, what big things could they achieve? When encountering a benevolent and peaceful person like Li Yu, he can still use some means, and if he encounters a ruthless person in a short time, he will be disposed of a long time ago. Obviously, Zhao Xun is such a ruthless person.

Du Yuan and Gongsun Yang Wolf bèi were adulterous and hooked up together, Zhao Xun had already guessed it, but he didn't get a solid proof. This was confirmed by the intelligence sent overnight. At the same time, Zhao Kang's situation in the Qingyang Army also arrived, and Zhao Xun was very happy about this, Zhao Kang was very smooth there, which meant that it would be more convenient to move in the future. Zhao Xun also knew the meaning of Zhao Kang's contact, and the messenger was Lu Ziliang.

Zhao Xun smiled secretly: "It's not bad, the Qingyang Army and the Shunzhou Army have joined forces, and they will level the north first." As for the Evil Army in the south, there shouldn't be any problems. In contrast, it was the chaotic horse thieves in the Black Snake Army that made Zhao Xun even more worried.

The Black Snake Army occupies Changling County, the most extensive area, one hundred and fifty miles from east to west, and nearly more than three hundred miles from north to south. But the vast area, most of which are vast and sparsely populated, are surrounded by large and small mountains and forests, and because they are adjacent to the Khitans, there are horse thieves all over the place, which is really the number one enemy of the people.

"Closely monitor the every move of the two, and any personnel from the two provinces must be strictly monitored, and if they are discovered, they will be taken down immediately."

Du Yuan, Gongsun Yang? It seems that you are my next target, and if you two are eliminated, the Shunzhou army will completely fall into my hands.

Another five days passed, and during these five days, the three battalions of the new troops, in addition to basic training in military posture with weapons in hand, were to memorize military orders, to form a conditioned reflex, in addition to obedience or obedience!

Finally, what Zhao Xun wanted appeared. Gongsun Yang made a move, and the person he sent to contact the Black Snake Army has been taken down by the scouts of the Huolin Army. Although Gongsun Yang sent three teams of men at the same time, the spies of the Huolin Army were not easy to fool, and they were taken down when they left the city, and they found Gongsun Yang's handwritten letters, of course, after enduring some interrogation methods a little, the captain of Gongsun Yang's personal soldiers finally gave in and was willing to cooperate.

"You have also seen, what is the situation in the Shunzhou army? Therefore, tomorrow we will launch an operation to strike a thunderous blow at Du Yuan and Gongsun Yang and solve them. At the same time, let the Black Snake Army continue to enter the boundaries of Gaoling County, and give them a look. Let them know that our Shunzhou Army is not something they can provoke casually. ”

"However, if we enter the city like this, they will know about it, and if we do, they will retreat into the barracks, or join forces, and it will be difficult for us to attack them all at once. Once both sides are defeated, it will be difficult to ambush the Black Snake Army. Luo Yi hesitated.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this, tomorrow the officials of the Shunzhou Army are afraid that they will gather in the Captain's Mansion, because the Qingyang Army has come to the envoy of the coalition army." ”

"Coalition emissaries? I'm afraid that the Shunzhou army will not agree. Xin Ming shook his head and said.

Xie Tong said: "We don't care if they promise or not, but our goal has been achieved." ”

"Yes, we have achieved our goal. In Gaoling County, Lord Li Yu garrisoned 2,000 troops, Du Yuan 2,000, and Gongsun Yang took turns to rest this time, and 3,000 people were there. The remaining three thousand, inspecting the towns in all directions. As long as Du Yuan and Gongsun Yang are solved, basically, the Shunzhou army has fallen into our hands, and when the time comes, whether he is the Yan Yan army or the Black Snake army, there is only one way to die against us. ”

"Wei Dong, who is in charge of the guards of the city tomorrow?"

"Lord Huidutong, tomorrow's rotation is Lord Li Yu in charge of the North Gate, Du Yuan is in charge of the West Gate, and the other two gates are in charge of those dependent forces. However, Gaoling County is in the rear, and there are generally only more than 100 city gate guards on duty. ”

"Luo Yi, tomorrow you will take someone to take the north gate, is there a problem? You should know the defenders, and I don't want casualties. ”

"Don't worry, Luo Yi will do it."

"Xu Le, Jin Yan, Zhang Shan, the three of you, each with three hundred people, lurk on the side of the other three gates, once the incident happens, immediately take down the three gates, close the city gates, and don't let anyone out of the city!"

"Obey!"

"Yang Qiu, your father is a person from Lord Li Yu's side, and tomorrow he will send an order to let Gongsun Yang's subordinates have three fruit chiefs and six qu chiefs to go to the school captain's mansion to drink the alliance banquet wine. After leaving the camp, he took it on the spot and escorted him to the school captain's mansion. ”

"Luo Yi, in the end, you and Li Lingfeng went straight to the Gongsun Yang school with two thousand new troops and one thousand cavalry, and put down everyone's weapons. But if there are those who resist, shoot and kill! ”

"Obey!"

"Xin Ming, Zhu Tear, Xie Tong, Wei Dong, enter the city tomorrow, three hundred warriors of the personal guard battalion, go straight to the captain's mansion, and capture the traitor! As for the guards of the Captain's Mansion, you can persuade the three of you. ”

"Obey!"

"Give the order to go down, rest tonight, and prepare for battle tomorrow. Whether the people of Shunzhou can return to the bright sky will start in Gaoling County. ”
