After a simple welcome banquet, the officials of the civil system left under the leadership of Qian Liang, leaving behind the captains of the military general system.

"This money is good!" Shuiziying Mufeng looked at the departing Qian Liang and muttered to himself.

Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said, "What? You also think he's good? Looks like you're working well together. ”

Mu Feng hurriedly said: "It's not that his subordinates praise him, he has done a lot of things in Lexian, and the people here like him very much, of course, there are some who don't like or like our Huolin Army." Mu Feng knew that Zhao Xun didn't like the mixing of soldiers and civilian officials, so he hurriedly defended.

Zhao Xun nodded and said: "You are right, this Qian Liang is indeed very good, the people of the Shadow Guard have told me about his recent appearance, it seems that this person still has some real materials, the key is that he is willing to be the master of the people and is willing to serve my Huolin Army." ”

"Uncle Li, have the soldiers been settled? You won't be able to see it. ”

Li Chenfeng said with a smile: "Don't worry, the soldiers of Zuofu are all placed in the col on the northwest side, where the soldiers can be hidden, and they will not be noticed by outsiders, in addition, it is only fourteen or fifteen miles away from Yanshan Fort, and it can be reached at any time." ”

"That's good, I'm worried that our movement will be noticed by the Evil Army."

"My lord, are you about to start an operation? Am I a pioneer? Mu Feng said excitedly.

The rest of the lieutenants also came up and said urgently: "My lord, this time our battalion is the vanguard. ”

Zhao asked: "Don't worry, it's not time to act yet, when to act, it depends on the results of the Nufeng Battalion and the Red Wolf Battalion." When their action is successful, we will give the Ying Ya army a thunderous blow, defeat the Ying Ya army in Yingzhou Prefecture like lightning, and before the Weizhou Jing Tatar army can react, we will cause the result of recovering Yingzhou Prefecture and catch them off guard. So, I'm honestly waiting for it now. What about the battle, you have been able to fight and enter the Yingzhou capital, so the territory has not yet been when you were the pioneer? I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! ”

Returning to the mansion specially placed for himself, Zhao Xun relaxed himself and turned to think about the southern expedition, if it succeeds, then he will control the land of the two provinces, or even the land of the three provinces, then the capital in his hands will be greater, and he will have the right to speak.

"Zhao Xun, can I ask you one thing?" Su Ziyan said with a sigh of relief.

"You say!"

"Why aren't your men afraid of the Warriors? And in the Shunzhou Mansion, the war with the Yan Yan army began, and the soldiers were afraid. Why is that? ”

Zhao Xun smiled indifferently and said, "You say, are those snake catchers afraid of snakes?" ”

"Don't be afraid, of course you're not afraid, otherwise you wouldn't dare to catch snakes." Su Ziyan said affirmatively.

"Then they weren't afraid before or when they were young? Many people were afraid of snakes on the ground at first, but after catching the first one, they were no longer afraid. In fact, the soldiers are the same, as long as there is a real victory, as long as the killing of the Yan army will also flee in wolves. And they suddenly realized, oh! It turns out that the people are nothing more than that, and we can still kill them. ”

Su Ziyan nodded thoughtfully, maybe she understood. However, war is not just talk, it depends on real skills and real means.

When night falls, the night is like mercury pouring on the ground, spreading a layer of silver sand on the cold earth.

Huo Shan was invited to Li Yuanhai's mansion for a banquet, saying that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was a private conversation between the two, which was commonplace for Huo Shan and Li Yuanhai. Therefore, the secret agents of the Shen Ya Army who monitored Huo Shan did not pay too much attention to this, because such a thing is not once or twice, there is nothing to pay attention to, and now the secret agents of the Shen Ya Army are paying attention to the assassination incidents in the past few days.

"Brother Li, why did you remember to invite me today?" Entering the Li Mansion, Huo Shan said with a smile, he knew that his old friend had been "thinking about it behind closed doors" at home recently.

Li Yuanhai smiled: "What? Invite old friends to talk, or share time? I've been a little depressed lately, so I'm going to talk to you. Please! ”

"Please!" The two walked into the house together.

There is no one else, and there is no big pomp, just two people with a small table of wine and food, and they talk happily.

"Alright, now that there's no one, it's time for you to tell me why I came."

Li Yuanhai took a sip of wine and said slowly: "I said, we are all old friends, let me ask you something, don't give me a sloppy look." ”

Seeing Li Yuanhai's appearance, Huo Shan was puzzled, but still said, "Say it, what do you want to know?" ”

Li Yuanhai asked in a low voice: "Now in Le'an County, how many are there in the Yan Army?" Is something wrong? Also, is General Lei Du not in Le'an County? ”

Huo Shan's eyebrows moved, and he said quietly: "I said, why did you ask about this?" What are you asking about this for? ”

"Don't you ask me what I'm doing about this? The answer? Tell me about it! Li Yuanhai asked eagerly.

Huo Shan froze and said, "If you want to know, then I'll sue you, but don't say that you show your mouth, if something happens, I'm not responsible." There are less than 2,000 people in Le'an County, and with 1,300 servant troops, there are more than 3,000 people. General Lei Du is indeed not in Le'an County, it is said that the war horses of Xinyan Town and Liang Town were robbed and went to pursue the thieves, and to this day, he has not returned. What do you think? Satisfied? You invited me to come, didn't you just ask about this? ”

Before Li Yuanhai could speak, a thick voice came from behind him: "Of course, he invited you to come, not for this." ”

Li Yuanhai and Huo Shan were taken aback, they didn't expect that someone would hear their conversation, and then Li Yuanhai was relieved, because he saw the young man who appeared in his house early this morning.

"Who are you? Why is it here? Huo Shan felt a burst of pressure from several people, so he asked sharply.

The leader of the thirty-year-old man sat on the side of the two of them, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "General Huo, Boss Li invited you to come, it is what we wanted." ”

Huo Shan turned his head to look at Li Yuanhai, and after seeing Li Yuanhai nodding, he asked again, "What's the matter?" ”

The thirtie man looked at Li Yuanhai and said with a smile: "Boss Li also wants to listen?" Listen to it, but you are responsible! ”

Li Yuanhai's heart moved, thinking of what Huo Shan said before, he gritted his teeth and said, "Listen, I will listen too!" I also want to know why you are doing it? ”

The thirty-year-old man nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, Boss Li is really a person who does big things, and he has the courage." Let's introduce myself first, I, Xu Qingyang, the person in charge of the northern capital of the Blood Shadow Guard Camp under the Huolin Army of Yanzhou Mansion. ”

"What?" Huo Shan and Li Yuanhai were taken aback, especially Li Yuanhai, he thought that these people were sent by the Yan Army, but he never thought that they would be the Huolin Army of Yanzhou Mansion.

Looking at the actions of the two, Xu Qingyang was unmoved, and continued: "Le'an County's guard general Lei Du and his subordinates' 4,000 cavalry have been wiped out by us, we have 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers outside Le'an County, and we robbed 8,000 horses of the Yan Army three days ago. Now in the county seat of Le'an County, there are two defenders, namely the Yan Army and the servant army under General Huo. ”

Huo Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "You want me to do something in the city?" ”

Xu Qingyang said with a smile: "We are ready to attack the city, but we don't want to cause casualties and unnecessary losses, so we need you to open a passage into the city for us to provide the best conditions for us to capture Le'an County." ”

"Why should I help you?" Huo Shan said coldly.

Xu Qingyang smiled and said, "What? Is General Huo addicted to being a general? ”

"You ......"

Xu Qingyang sneered: "Without General Huo, we can also attack the city, and there are also servant troops willing to help us. Of course, tonight, you won't be able to get out of the Li Mansion. ”

"You dare to kill me now, don't be afraid of ......"

Xu Qingyang smiled: "We will send you home, of course, you are drunk." Just ......"

Li Yuanhai hurriedly said: "Brother Huo, your surrender to the Yan Army is also for the sake of thousands of Yan Army soldiers and the people in the city, now it's time to wash away your infamy." ”

Huo Shan sneered: "Even if there is no me, they will gather the servant army like the same, why bother looking for me?" ”

Xu Qingyang said: "My family said that we need people who are willing to do things for the people and are willing to sacrifice for the people." General Huo, you are the one who is worth saving, and with your assistance, it will be faster and more convenient for us to do things. I don't know ...... General Huo"

Huo Shan asked: "If I help you, ...... of our servant army in the future."

"As for this, General Huo can rest assured, those who are willing to join the army, we will select the best to join the Huolin Army, and those who are unwilling to join the army will be given a certain amount of compensation and let them go home."

Huo Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm done, when will you act?" ”

"When can General Huo make arrangements, I need you to inform your closest people, don't have an accident." Xu Qingyang stared at Huo Shan and said.

"It can be arranged tomorrow, West City Gate! I do things, you can rest assured! ”

Xu Qingyang smiled and stroked his palm: "Okay, when the moon rises tomorrow, we will take action!" ”

Huo Shan said: "Are you going to attack the Yanshan Fort camp on both sides?" ”

Xu Qingyang laughed, did not answer, and after saluting the two, he turned around and left, crossed the wall, and disappeared under the moonlit night.
