Everyone has weaknesses, Liu Wei's biggest weakness is self-confidence, although he looks modest and cautious on the surface, but in his bones he is proud and blindly believed.

When formulating the battle plan for the raid on Fengzhou, Li Xuzhou suggested that he subordinate the right army with the strongest combat effectiveness in Shengzhou to protect his own safety, Liu Xun did not accept it, and he said to Li Xuzhou disapprovingly: "If he Yang Hao can enter Shengzhou with a soldier and a pawn, I am willing to be driven by him, just a little hairy child, Mr. is too cautious." ”

Li Xuzhou smiled awkwardly, but the generals of the Zhenwu Army laughed, in short, before the war, the Zhenwu Army was full of confidence in victory, and Fengzhou seemed to be within reach.

The rule of Fengzhou is that the fifth afternoon of the new year is the end of the year, when the business is busy opening, the official office also has to work on the second day, Zhenwu army does not have this rule, here and Chang'an, the official office began to work on New Year's Day, Shengzhou Thorn Shi Liu Song just arrived at the official office on the first day of the new year and encountered a headache, Liu Song is the younger brother of Liu Wei, the two are generally old, grew up together, is one of Liu Song's cronies,

Liu Wei saw Liu Song coming in a hurry on horseback, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, Liu Song was obese, and he usually sat in a sedan chair or car, and he would not ride a horse unless it was an emergency.

"Zi Wang, Zi Wang."

Liu Song got off the horse and shouted, he was in a hurry, and his shouting was even more urgent, Liu Wei concluded that something was wrong.

Sure enough, Liu Song said breathlessly: "It's a big deal, Ma, Ma Minglu has run away." ”

"Ma Minglu ran, when did he run."

Li Xuzhou, who was discussing with Liu Wei, asked anxiously, Ma Minglu is Ma Yue's only son, studying in the eastern surrender of the city, the east of the surrender of the city is deserted, there are many garrisons, the officials in the city and some rich businessmen and landlords have settled in Shengzhou, Ma Minglu has purchased real estate in Shengzhou, Liu Wei has specially explained, Ma Minglu is personally supervised by Liu Song,

Li Xuzhou and Liu Song have always been at odds, Liu Song went wrong, he felt that he should step on him, Liu Song glared at Li Xuzhou, and did not answer,

"What's the matter, a big living person is just gone."

Li Xuzhou muttered, Liu Song couldn't help but was about to refute, but when he saw Liu Xun's dark face, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, Ma Minglu is indeed responsible for his disappearance, Liu Xun specially instructed himself to be optimistic about Ma Minglu a few years ago, and he did send someone to keep an eye on Ma Minglu, as the son of a family, Ma Minglu has a wide range of friends, and the house is very lively. also let him mysteriously disappear under his nose, Liu Song was not only indignant, but even a little aggrieved,

"Dashuai, this matter is a little strange, the students thought that before finding out Ma Minglu's whereabouts, the plan to enter Fengzhou was temporarily shelved."

Liu Wei became agitated, he walked back and forth in the house twice, and suddenly pointed at Liu Song's face and scolded: "Incompetent, stupid, you let me say what is good about you, you ...... this juncture"

Liu Song didn't dare to take a breath when he was scolded, Li Xuzhou was secretly proud, and Liu Wei said to him with a dark face: "Expect Ma Yue's old fox to do something, we will do ours." ”

"Then, whether to transfer the right army back to Shengzhou to garrison."

Li Xuzhou's opinion was immediately agreed by Liu Song: "Xiaguan also has this intention, there are many Shatuo people in the city recently, so it is better to be cautious." ”

Liu Wei glared at him, snorted, and said, "What are you afraid of, when will the Shatuo people not come to the city to sell gold Ruyi." After a pause, he said: "Let your catchers go to the streets, if you can't even suppress a few Shatuo people, what's the use of raising them." ”

……

Since the beginning of the first month, it has been snowing in Katsushu,

The people in the city are still immersed in the joy of the New Year at the moment, no one has noticed any changes in the city, the Shatuo people are not the New Year, they put on the oil pot at the end of the streets and alleys, fry a kind of dim sum similar to hemp flowers, named "Jin Ruyi", the taste of dim sum is really very general, but the oily, golden appearance is very pleasing, inside and outside revealing a festive atmosphere,

The fried dim sum is wrapped in red paper, and then the gold dust brush is used to draw on the paper the talisman of the Shatuo people, which is said to be able to bless peace, and stick them on the door of their house to ward off evil spirits and enter the treasure.

Two young Shatuo people set up a stall on the corner of the street, because the location is relatively remote, the business is deserted, but the two young people don't seem to care about the quality of their business, one vigilantly looks at the movement around him, the other keeps looking at the sky, patrolling Hu San led four people to pac over, the two young people became nervous,

"Two bags of Jin Ruyi, they want to be hot."

Hu San shouted, he was holding a small wine jug in his hand, and from time to time he drank two sips of wine to keep warm, and a young man picked up two packs of "Jin Ruyi" and sent them to him.

Hu San flipped the thing in his hand, threw it on the board, and asked with squinted eyes: "You don't understand what Lao Tzu said, don't you, if it's hot, blow it up for me now." ”

"This ......" the young man looked embarrassed,

"How do you look down on you."

Hu San had a provocative posture, and he was hiding in the office for the New Year to brag and drink, how happy he was, but because these Shatuo people had to soak in the streets all day long and suffer from the cold, this anger did not look for you, and who did they find, and the four catchers behind him separated and surrounded them.

"Don't dare, don't dare, uncle, you wait."

A white and pure young man said in a dry and hard Chinese dialect, he took off his leather gloves and kneaded the dough, Hu San stood in front of the noodle table and looked at it coldly, and suddenly sneered: "Brother, this hand is enough to be raw." ”

He grabbed the young man's hand and said with a sneer: "The calluses on my hands are sharpened by a knife." ”

When Hu San said this, as soon as he made his eyes, the crowd suddenly pressed up,

The black-faced young man suddenly grabbed two packs of "Jin Ruyi" and smashed them at Hu San's face, Hu San turned his head to dodge it, and laughed: "Sure enough, there is fraud." Waving a knife and chopping, the young man who kneaded the dough saw that the situation was not good, and threw the oil pot at everyone, the oil in the oil pot was hot and smoking, and the pot was almost burned red.

For this reason, Hu San and the others were unprepared, and the hot oil was splashed on their heads and faces, and everyone screamed like wolves.

The black-faced boy took advantage of the situation to pull out the blade from his luggage and protect it in front of the white-faced boy whose hands were burned.

"There are spies, there are spies."

Although Hu San's body is fat and stupid, his movements are very flexible, when he saw the oil pot splashing, he dodged to the side, only a few drops were splashed on his face, and when he saw the horizontal knife in the young man's hand, he realized that these two people were not Shatuo people, but very likely to be spies from somewhere,

These two people who blew up "Jin Ruyi" are indeed not Shatuo people, the white-faced boy is Guan Suo, the black-faced boy is his guard, and he is also a member of the wind chasing group of the intelligence room, the wind chasing group is one of the three major assassination teams of the intelligence room, the members are not only strong in martial arts, but also experienced in a hundred battles of wisdom and bravery, so although Guan Suo was injured and could not hold a knife, the black-faced young man still easily killed Hu San and the other four catchers,

A pillar of green smoke rose in the southeast of Shengzhou, and then there were three columns of green smoke in the northeast, southwest, and northwest directions.

There were pillars of smoke all over the city, and Liu Wei realized that the situation was not good, but he still forced his composure, he refused to leave the Lingering Garden, and also refused Liu Song's suggestion to "transfer the guards to guard".

Liu Wei is not blind to danger, but he is not convinced, he has done a deep study of Yang Hao and the Xining army, the battalions of the Xining army are mainly cavalry, good at field warfare, even if they fight with the elite tiger guards of the Heavenly Wolf Army, they will not fall behind at all, but the siege of the city is their shortcoming, Xia Sui four states, several small states and small cities, still make them anxious, like Shengzhou City fortifications, is definitely their nightmare,

Your Xining army is good at field warfare, and my Zhenwu army is also good at field warfare, and my strength is three times that of yours.

But this Yang Hao didn't play cards according to the rules, he got into his stomach and hit himself off guard, in the short-handed street battle, Liu Wei's black-clothed guards were defeated, and the assassination team captured the Lingering Garden in a blink of an eye, Liu Wei's face was pale, and Li Xuzhou and Liu Song couldn't say a word.

Guan Suo wrapped his hands in white silk at this moment, and under the escort of two guards, he walked into Liu Wei's study.

Liu Wei sat behind the public case without saying a word, Guan Suo glanced at Li Xuzhou and asked, "Which of you is Liu Envoy Shuai?" ”

Li Xuzhou felt humiliated for a while, bowed his head and didn't answer, Liu Song glanced at Liu Wei, Guan Suo laughed and said: "Liu Yuanjun thank you for your help, Guan Mou is what he says, and what he promised to you will definitely be honored." ”

Liu Song's face changed greatly, and he sat in front of Liu Wei with his knees paralyzed, and Li Xuzhou said angrily: "You traitor, you, are you worthy of the handsome." Li Xuzhou didn't care about any image, stepped forward and kicked Liu Song fiercely, and when he wanted to kick the second kick, he was dragged out by the two attendants behind Guan Suo.

Liu Song sat on the ground and cried, Liu Song waved his hand to signal him to go out, Liu Song was a little reluctant, looked up at Guan Suo, and then got acquiescence, then hummed and got up and walked out,

"General Guan is a good method." Liu Wei stroked his palms and smiled,

"Dashuai praised, the brothers just used their lives, Guan just picked up a bargain."

"General Guan thought that he had caught Liu Wei, but he had picked up a big bargain."

"Isn't it, at least hundreds of people will be spared the disaster of blood." Guan Suo smiled, paced to the "Map of the Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains in the Northern Country", and said: "The marshal's strategy for marching into the army, Lord Yang also has a copy, today is the third year of the new year, your Turkic Loyal Army and the two battalions of the Left Army Tian and Zhen are only afraid that they have surrendered to Lord Yang at this moment." ”

Liu Wei snorted and said: "General Guan seems to be quite confident, Liu Wei makes a bet with you, if they really take refuge in Lord Yang, Liu Wei is willing to give the remnants of his body to Lord Yang to drive." ”

"If they don't surrender, Guan will put down his blade and let the commander dispose of it."

Liu Wei forced a calm smile, a guard ran in and whispered a few words in Guan Suo's ear, Guan Suo nodded, and the attendant called out the door: "Bring it in." ”

A messenger with a red flag on his back was brought in sweating profusely and saluted Liu Wei: "Tell the marshal, the two battalions of the left army, Tian and Zhen, suddenly pulled out the camp and went to the Xining army. ”

Liu Wei's face was pale, he didn't say a word, the messenger had just withdrawn, and someone reported to the secretary Liu Mi to ask to see him, the secretary Liu Mi was Liu Wei's nephew, proficient in Turkic language, and was the bridge between Liu Wei and the Loyal and Righteous Army.

"Tell the marshal, the loyal army was besieged by Ma Yue and Wu Chizan in Lin Danghai, and all the thirteen chiefs such as Le Guya surrendered." Liu Mi held a letter above his head: "This is the letter presented by Le Guya to the marshal." ”

"Did he persuade me to surrender to Yang Hao?"

"Yes." Liu Mi couldn't finish his words, and cried loudly,

"General Guan, you won, Liu Wei sincerely joins you, and is willing to be driven." Liu Wei got up and bowed his head to Guan Suo,
