Licheng County, Qi County, is the central city of Qingzhou region, regardless of the size, strategic importance, population and economy, it is the largest city in Qingzhou.

In recent years, with the rise of Yidu County in Beihai County, it has gradually become a sign of competing with Licheng County, but it is still slightly inferior to Licheng County in terms of population and commerce, especially in terms of strategic importance.

Since Zhang Xuan led his army into Qingzhou, Qi County has also become his main garrison, with a military camp in Licheng County and Zhu'a County respectively, stationed 10,000 troops.

People come and go on the street of Licheng County, lively and abnormal, shops on both sides of Jishui Avenue are lined up, close to noon, the business of several big wine shops is particularly prosperous, there is a wine shop near the west gate of the county, called Wanjing wine shop, because the scale of the wine shop is not large, and it is not close to the main street, so the business has not been very good, the owner has also changed a few rounds, no one knows who the owner is now?

Although the business of the liquor store is not good, there are quite a few bartenders, there are twenty or thirty people, which is far more than the average size of a medium-sized liquor store with about ten people.

This wine shop restaurant is not large, but it covers a large area, covering an area of ten acres, in addition to the two acres of land in the wine store itself, several private houses and vacant land in the alley behind it were bought by it, and it is said that it is ready to open an inn.

On such a sunny early summer afternoon, something unexpected happened, hundreds of soldiers rushed through the West Gate, and they surrounded the Wanjing wine shop from all sides.

After Zhang Xuan left Qingzhou to go to Jianghuai, Qingzhou had no troops stationed in Qingzhou and was in a blank state, although the Bohai Society did not dare to enter and occupy Qingzhou openly, but they began to infiltrate the important counties of Qingzhou on a large scale, not only buying officials. At the same time, intelligence points are also established.

Last autumn, this liquor store was officially acquired by Jiuye Commercial Bank under the name of Bohai Society, and became the intelligence terminal of Bohai Society in Qi County and even Qingzhou.

Intelligence from all over Qingzhou is to be summarized here, and then sent to the Bohai Society's nest in Hebei.

This time, Zhang Xuan took the old nest of the Bohai Society in Gonggao County in one fell swoop and seized a number of important documents, including Bohai's intelligence points in various parts of Qingzhou and the roster of officials he had bought.

The Manjing Liquor Store has not yet realized that danger is coming. More than a dozen tables of guests are whispering and chatting, the shrewd-faced shopkeeper is sitting at the counter thinking about something, and the bartender is lazily serving wine and food to the guests.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of running footsteps outside, and everyone turned to look at the door, only to see a bartender rushing in, shouting in horror: "Shopkeeper, there are a lot of Sui troops outside, surround us!" ”

As soon as the words fell. An arrow flew in and hit the bartender in the back of the shoulder, causing him to scream and fall to the ground.

The wine shop was stunned for a moment, and then there was a big mess, and the bartender immediately broke through the window and ran away, while the drinkers were stunned. I wonder what happened?

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, and he turned and ran to the backyard. At this time, a large group of Sui soldiers broke into the wine shop through the gate, all the windows were blocked by the soldiers, and a partial general shouted: "Whoever dares to escape, shoot and kill!" ”

The words were shouted, and more than a dozen bartenders squatted down in despair. Holding their heads, several drinkers who had just stood up also sat down in fright, and there was silence in the lobby.

The general swept around, but didn't see the shopkeeper, he grabbed the injured bartender at the door and asked sharply, "Where is the shopkeeper?" ”

The bartender timidly pointed to the counter. Only then did the general discover that there was a small door under the counter, leading to the backyard, he was furious, drew his knife and rushed into the small door, and dozens of soldiers followed him to the outside of the small door.

Under the explanation of the two bartenders, the general led the soldiers to a firewood house in the backyard, and the two soldiers kicked the door open, only to see the shopkeeper burning a stack of documents with a frightened face, and several soldiers rushed up and pressed the shopkeeper to the ground.

The general stepped forward and slapped him in the face, "You bastard, do you want to die?" Lao Tzu will fulfill you immediately! ”

He kicked it again, put away the paperwork that had not yet been burned, and shouted, "Take it away!" ”

At the same time, the whole city of Licheng County was conducting a large-scale search, and the Sui army had already mastered the list, and more than a dozen shops, green buildings, inns, martial arts halls, and pharmacies were all seized, and more than 300 undercover agents planted by the Bohai Society in Licheng County were arrested.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xuan, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, went to Wanjing Liquor Store, which was the intelligence terminal of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou and the material reserve of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou.

The soldiers had already found the underground warehouse, and from the underground warehouse, thousands of pairs of Sui army armor, war knives, spears, armor, shields, etc., were piled up like a hill in the courtyard, and hundreds of boxes of copper coins were neatly stacked in the open space.

Zhang Xuan walked in front of the armor, picked up a pair of armor and looked at it, turned back to Shen Guang and smiled: "Have you found anything strange about these armor?" ”

Shen Guang was the overall person in charge of this clean-up operation, not only Qi County, but also Beihai County and Lu County, he also looked at the armor carefully, and said with a smile: "It's exactly the same as our armor." ”

"Gao Lie is a person with a heart! He actually built the exact same armor as us, what does he want to do? Zhang Xuan sneered.

Shen Guang understood what the commander meant, and he also nodded and said, "It is estimated that the Bohai Society also wants to learn our old methods and pretend to be our army as an internal response." ”

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said to Shen Guang: "Since Bohai will have the ambition to capture Qingzhou by force, then several important counties that rely on the Yellow River, Zhu'a County, Jibei County, Bochang County, etc., should be the primary targets of the Bohai Society. ”

"Humble duty understands, immediately expand the search!"

．．．．．．．．

At the same time that the Sui army was searching for the undercover agents of the Bohai Society in Qingzhou, the envoy of Gao Lie, the leader of the Bohai Society, also arrived in Qi County.

A carriage slowly drove into the west gate of Licheng County under the escort of more than a dozen Sui cavalry, and Gao Hui, who had just come from Ye County, sat in the carriage.

Gao Hui is the chief intelligence leader of the Bohai Society, and is fully responsible for all external affairs, whether it is the transmission of information or the befriending of powerful people, she must report to her.

Although she has indeed failed over the years, Zhang Xuan's large-scale purge of Qingzhou this time has nothing to do with her, when she got the urgent news from her brother, she and Qingzhou have been cut off, and the key is that she is one step slower in time.

Of course, Gao Hui knew what would happen to Qi County, and at this time, she looked at the Wanjing Wine Store not far from the city gate, and saw that the alley where the wine store was located was full of soldiers.

Gao Hui couldn't help but sigh secretly, this was what she expected, she already knew Zhang Xuan very well, as long as she felt that it was beneficial to herself, she would never hesitate to start, and she was ruthless.

In contrast, her brother was still a little too proud, even if there was no Zhang Xuan's surprise attack, how could he rest assured that he would put his nest on Dou Jiande's territory, and there were only more than a thousand guards.

Needless to say, Gao Hui also guessed that nine times out of ten, Dou Jiande betrayed their lair, otherwise how could Zhang Xuan find such a hidden manor? This also shows that Dou Jiande is very aware of the secrets of that manor, and is by no means as ignorant as he pretends to be.

Gao Hui is really worried, fighting with Zhang Xuan, her brother is really not an opponent.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Qijun County Office, which was also Zhang Xuan's temporary military office, an attendant opened the door, and the maid helped Gao Hui slowly get off the carriage.

At this time, a young scribe waiting in front of the steps stepped forward and said with a smile: "In the lower room Xuanling, welcome to Mrs. Gao." ”

"It turned out to be Fang Junshi, I have admired it for a long time, I don't know if General Zhang is in the county office?"

"General Zhang is not in Licheng County for the time being, so he specially told me to talk to Mrs. Gao first, if the conversation is good, he doesn't have to come forward again."

Gao Hui couldn't help but secretly scold Zhang Xuan for being cunning, he hid behind the scenes, but let his subordinates talk to him, putting himself in a disadvantageous situation from the beginning.

But Gao Hui has no choice, now she is begging Zhang Xuan, she has no choice.

"Alright! I'll talk to Master Fang first. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Madame, please!" (To be continued.) )
