On the first day of the ninth month, it was the auspicious day calculated by Gongsun Pei, and Liu Cun's Assassin Mansion officially moved away from Linzi East Gate Inner Street and moved into two adjacent courtyards on the north side of the intersection of the crossroads in the center of the city.

Across the twelve-step-wide east side of the North Street intersection is Jiao He's Qijun Taishou Mansion with a majestic appearance and a quiet interior.

When Liu Cun entered the new mansion of the generous faction, he was not in a hurry to go to his official house and backyard residence, but looked around, roamed, and the craftsmen who were demolishing the wall and low house between the two courtyards saw Liu Cun, and did not stop to salute like the people of Linzi, but smiled at Liu Cun cordially, and continued to be busy with their own affairs.

Guan Ning, who accompanied Liu Cun on his stroll, saw the easy-going relationship between Liu Cun and many craftsmen, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Today, only the lord and the people under his rule will live in harmony like their own neighbors, I am afraid that only when there are three emperors and five emperors, will the officials and the people be so frank!" ”

"Don't sigh, how big was a country at that time for the Three Emperors and Five Emperors? I'm afraid it's similar to a township or a county today, right? Folks, who are you going to fight with? By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, isn't it just the demolition of the partition wall and utility room between the two courtyards? Just take a break and recuperate, why did you specially summon hundreds of highly skilled craftsmen from Langya? As for it? Liu Cun was very unimpressed.

Guan Ning immediately sank his face: "How can a dignified state be so casual?" It's not that our subordinates don't know that the lord is thrifty, but in the matter of assassinating the history of the government, the lord is not in charge, which is not only related to the prestige of the court and the lord, but also related to the face of many of our subordinate officials. ”

Liu Cunfu lost: "Good, good!" Listen to everyone, but don't be too luxurious, the original gate is also very good, don't bother anymore, if you feel that it is not grand enough, you will tear down the two walls facing the street, build two rows of conjoined arcades like Xiahe City to make shops, and then rent out, the monthly rent can support a lot of miscellaneous servants. ”

Guan Ning's eyes widened, and he immediately raised his big sleeves to cover his face, and protested loudly in pain: "God! Even the poorest little county magistrate in the world can't do such a humiliating thing! Lord, are you really short of money? Otherwise, the lord will give his subordinates a monthly salary of ten gold per month, and the subordinates don't want it, so take it to the miscellaneous servants! ”

The surrounding guards and clerks couldn't help laughing, Liu Cun had no choice but to apologize to Guan Ning and promise not to mention it again.

Guan Ning's face looked better, he raised his head high, and stepped forward with his hands behind his back, looking like a winner who had won a big battle, in stark contrast to Liu Cun, who sighed and sighed knowing that he was wrong, which made the guards around him laugh.

Liu Cun glanced around in annoyance, and finally looked at Xu Yan, the newly promoted captain of the guard battalion and his proud disciple who was covering his mouth and smiling: "Didn't you ask you to compile the list of the third phase of the infantry and cavalry departments?" What are you doing here? ”

The tall and handsome Xu Yan hurriedly stood up solemnly: "Report to the lord, the 35 cadets recommended by the infantry cavalry troops stationed in various parts of Pingyuan County have now been verified, and they are all officers and soldiers who bravely killed the enemy and received awards for meritorious service in this Hebei War, and they meet the established requirements of our army's martial arts academy, and they are all under the age of 25. ”

"Show me the list."

Liu Cun took the list and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile: "The first one is this guy Li Zai, yes, self-motivated!" Isn't the second Gao Huan the newly promoted cavalry battalion under Wen Xiang (Xu Shengzi)? Looks like you're only nineteen, right? ”

Xu Yan hurriedly replied: "The lord is not mistaken, Gao Huan is one year younger than his subordinates, he fled to Pingyuan City from Jizhou Hejian with his family, his whole family is the same as all the fleeing villagers, and he will get the care of our army after crossing the river, Gao Huan saw the equipment and training of our army, and immediately asked to join the army to kill the thief, and later made many achievements in the offensive and defensive battles of Pingyuan City, Wen Xiang's brother evaluated Gao Huan's superb archery skills in the recommendation letter, and once stood alone at the head of the city 30 times in a row to hold the bow, shooting and killing 27 traitors who attacked the city, won the applause of the whole army, and the morale was greatly boosted. He also praised Gao Huan for his knowledge and courage. ”

Liu Cun nodded with satisfaction, at this time he didn't know that the Gao Huan he had praised in person was Gao Ran, one of the four generals in the river.

Gao Ran originally planned to send his family to the relatively safe Linji brother-in-law's house, so he went to the new Jizhou Assassin Han Fu, who was recruiting troops and horses, but as soon as he entered Pingyuan City, he was attracted by the sophisticated equipment and strict military discipline of the Langya Army, and waited for the government to arrange the relocation in the two days, he was once again shocked by the training level of the cavalry battalion and the sword and shield battalion under Xu Sheng, and after obtaining the consent of his parents, he did not hesitate to sign up for the Langya Army, and soon stood out in the war, and finally became Xu Sheng's very important cavalry battalion candidate.

"I will issue a notice today, and add a sentence to the end of the notice, please rush to Linzi within five days of receiving the admission notice, and I will feast on them, and then let them rush to Dongwu for further study." Liu Cun handed the finished list to Xu Yan.

"Yes!"

Xu Yan took the list and put it in the leather document bag on his waist, and continued to report to Liu Cunyu: "Lord Han of Jizhou Assassin Shi sent a military envoy to ask for help, a group of two, Lord Zhao Rong sent Captain Lu to escort him personally, it is estimated that he first went to the front line of Zhu'a to ask for help, and he rushed over because he couldn't get his wish, and he is currently resting in Lord Lu's mansion, waiting for the lord to summon him at any time. ”

Liu Cun asked, "What's the name of the envoy?" ”

"The eldest is called Han Ju, about thirty-five years old, with a Yingchuan accent, a strong physique and elegance, a loud and unhurried voice, he should be a child of a family, Lord Lu introduced him to the position of the county governor, and the other surnamed Zhang is about the same age as me, Kong Wuxiong is strong and courteous, and he should be a warrior who escorted Lord Han Ju to ask for help."

After Qin Yi was transferred to Dongguan County, Liu Cun immediately promoted Xu Yan, a scheming and decisive disciple, to take over the position of lieutenant of the guard, which shows Liu Cun's expectations for him.

Guan Ning quickly remembered who Han Ju was, and returned to Liu Cun's side in detail: "Before Jizhou Hejian was broken by Zhang Ju's anti-thieves, Han Ju was the commander of Hejian, and this person was a disciple of the Han family in the four major families of Yingchuan. ”

Liu Cun frowned: "Han Wenjie actually sent his own brother to ask for help, it can be seen that he is under a lot of pressure, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's two armies combined together, adopted a frequent local attack strategy, took advantage of the cavalry, frequently attacked in ten months, and achieved good results, and also trampled on countless crops to be harvested in central and southern Hebei, several ruthless moves in a row, forcing Gongsun Zan and Han Fu to be tired of parrying, and won more than a month of rest and replenishment time in the confrontation with each other, and Zhang Ju's infantry cavalry recovered to 120,000 horses, Now that it is necessary to obtain the autumn grain in Youzhou and occupy the land, it is possible to launch a large-scale southward attack. ”

Guan Ning thought deeply: "My Qingzhou is still under the coercion of the Yellow Turban thieves, and I have not yet received an order from the imperial court to transfer troops to help, so no matter how the lord handles this matter, he will fall into a dilemma!" ”

"Yes! If you are staring at the two states of Qingji today, without an edict from the imperial court, how dare I send troops without authorization? But everyone is a new colleague, or a neighbor, I'm afraid we will have to meet often in the future, if you ignore the Han Wenjie's request for help, you will definitely fall into a notoriety of not saving you when you see death, and then the world will look at me Liu Cun like this? What do the soldiers and civilians in Jizhou think of me Liu Cun? Liu Cun had a big headache.

Guan Ning suggested: "Lord, it's better to go back immediately and gather Mr. Botao and Mr. Zirou to discuss together, this matter is too important and has to be treated with caution." ”

Liu Cun was no longer in the mood to visit the garden, and hurried to the temporary meeting hall in the middle of the East Courtyard with Guan Ning.
