In the compound of the Lu family in Dengzhou Mansion, the backbone of the Lu family is all gathered in it, surrounded by loyal dead soldiers selected from the spies, guarding the courtyard, and the outside side is handled by the Lu family's hundred refining elite soldiers, which can be said that even a bird can't fly in. Lu Bing saw Zhu Houxi's methods now, and had to worry that Zhu Houxi had infiltrated his forces into his intelligence organization, compared to Dongchang, Lu Bing's private intelligence organization was still a little immature, once Dongchang restored its original strength, it would be more than one or two grades stronger than the Lu family's intelligence organization.

In this way, Lu Bing was still not at ease, and in the midst of the heavy guards, Lu Bing also sent the Lan people to isolate. Lu Bing, the Lan people, is extremely trusted, first of all, they are only loyal to three people, three people who they regard as beliefs and gods, Lu Bing and Ji Lianhong, the living Buddha of the Snow Region. The Living Buddha of the Snow Region is far away in Wusizang, and he has entrusted the Lan people to Lu Bing, saying that Lu Bing is respected. And in the future actions and subtle changes, the Lan people also saw that Lu Bing seemed to be in charge of Ji Lianhong, and he was better than Ji Lianhong. Although the language of the Lan people is not incomprehensible to the Han people, they are not stupid, and they can see this, so they are completely loyal to Lu Bing, followed by Ji Lianhong.

In addition, the Lan people do not understand Chinese, and no one can understand their language except Lu Bing and the Living Buddha of the Snow Land, so there is no question of inducement and torture to extract confessions, because they really don't know anything. What reassures Lu Bing even more is that the Lan people are brave, simple, loyal, and faithful, and their hearts are as clean as the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains, so even if Lu Bing personally tortures them, they are not sure that they can pry open the mouths of the Lan people, and they would rather die than confess. Of course, it's still the same sentence, and now they don't have anything to recruit.

Lu Bing stood in front of everyone, his face was heavy, and he said in a deep voice: "From today on." The Lu family has entered a state of combat readiness. I didn't talk much, and began to make war readiness arrangements, and those who violated the order were dealt with by military law, and the law was not merciful. I will say one more thing at the end, you are all members of the Lu family, if you fail, neither you nor I can escape. Therefore, we need to work together to ensure that everything is healthy. ”

"Do the will of the Lord." Everyone said that during the war preparations, everyone called Lu Bing the main father, including Qi Shuhai, the brother-in-law. and Ji Lianhong and Duan Qingfeng, two brothers in life and death who are beyond the world. There were only two people present, one was Xia Dade, he was the monarch of Xiliang, and he would return to Xiliang soon. will not participate in the Lu family's military operations. It will only respond from the sidelines. And this matter is also related to Xia Dade, this is a later story, and the two brothers will talk about it in detail later.

The other person is Meng Xueqing, the current division and commander-in-chief of the Lu family, and his power is the same as that of Lu Bing, but the order is sent by Lu Bing, and Meng Xueqing will naturally not rush it. The purpose of setting up two commanders-in-chief was in case something happened to one of them, mainly Lu Bing. In case he is killed or something else happens, it will not make the Lu family a mess. At least there is someone in command, and only Meng Xueqing can take responsibility for the Lu family.

You can joke with Lu Bing on weekdays, but during the war preparations, you are not allowed to disobey orders, you are not allowed to joke, you can't do what you want, you can't shirk or argue, you can't even rush to get ahead when you're in danger. If anyone resists the decree and does not respect the law, the law will not be merciful, everyone knows that this is a time of life and death, even if the benevolent Lu Bing is in order for his family to survive, for the lives of thousands of brothers under his command, Lu Bing has done something to sacrifice the small to survive and break the tail.

Lu Bing glanced at everyone and said: "Xu Yang, you are in charge of the northern and western fronts, build official affairs according to the drawings I gave you, once an army presses in, there can be no conflict outside the borders, and those who insist on not listening to the admonition will start fighting in Shandong, and then act according to the plan." ”

"It's the lord." Xu Yang said with a scroll of drawings in his hand, and then retreated into the crowd.

"Meng Lin." Lu Bing explained, Meng Lin stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

Lu Bing said: "You are in charge of coastal defense, and if a ship dares to dock, it will always conduct an investigation 100 miles away, and large warships are not allowed to enter the waters of Shandong at all, and once the interception fails, they will directly open fire." In addition, you are also responsible for the maintenance and addition of coastal batteries and lighthouses, and start to build, long-range guns are being developed, remember to leave enough recoil retreat space when building batteries, and at the same time there must be ramps, otherwise the cannons will not be able to be transported up, it will be in vain. Did you hear me clearly? ”

"Subordinates obey." Meng Lin clasped his fists and saluted, and retreated into the crowd.

"Ji Lianhong!" Lu Bingdao, Ji Lianhong hugged his fists with a straight face and said, "Lord." ”

"I order you to search all over the Western Regions, Mobei or Lingnan outside the Ming Dynasty, to find a good place for development, the local requirements and land area are written down on paper, you have to look at it carefully and then burn this paper, not let outsiders humanize. In addition, it is necessary to conduct simple surveys and mapping of the local area, study the customs and customs, and record the political power issues as much as possible. Lu Bingdao, then threw out a folded piece of paper, the paper made a sound of breaking the air, and flew towards Ji Lianhong like a sharp blade, I didn't know that I thought it was made of a piece of steel. Ji Lianhong stretched out his hand, easily took it, and unloaded the force, and as soon as he opened the paper, everyone knew that this paper was no different from ordinary paper, it was extremely soft, and it turned out that it was attached to the internal force that it became the same as just now.

Ji Lianhong read it briefly, nodded silently, and finally read it silently to deepen his memory a few times, and then with a wave of heat rolling in his hand, the scene around his palm was abstract The roasting person was unbearable, and the paper turned yellow into shreds. Ji Lianhong replied "yes" and flashed back, surveying and mapping records and generalizing the landform This is not a problem, Ji Lianhong's basic skills are not good, but he grew up in a Taoist temple since he was a child, and the Taoist feng shui gossip needs to be calculated and studied on the earth's leylines and the like, so this responsibility Ji Lianhong and Duan Qingfeng are the most suitable. What's more, the road is long, and it requires strong martial arts and a strong physique, and Duan Qingfeng has other important tasks, so he handed it over to Ji Lianhong. Ji Lianhong's perfect pure yang gong has been superb, over the mountains and mountains everywhere, lying on horseback galloping can also be ten consecutive days, Marshall people do not stop, the time is urgent, it needs to be completed day and night.

This task is nothing more than to help the Lu family choose a suitable territory outside the frontier, so as to plan for the future, and leave a way out for themselves. The previous arrangement was to prevent Zhu Houxi from breaking his word and making preparations to attack Shandong. Zhu Houxi's temperament is changeable, and he has to be guarded against.

Meng Xueqing nodded, Lu Bing taught the true method of knowing people and making good use of them according to their aptitude, only this task is suitable for Ji Lianhong. And Ji Lianhong's ears are soft. It would be bad if he stayed by Neuer's side and was used by Neuer, Lu Bing and Meng Xueqing were not very at ease with Neuer. Another point is that if you look for territory like this, you may open up territory outside the territory and establish yourself as the king, and when the time comes, you can send a small number of troops to help Neuer rebuild the Half Moon Country, so Ji Lianhong will definitely not object to Neuer's trip.

Lu Bing knows how to make good use of people, but the next appointment is a bit risky. But this person is absolutely loyal, because he belongs to a close relative of the Lu family, and once he fails, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots: "Qi Shuhai." You are responsible for the military arrangement and construction of military buildings on the Southern Front. Lu Bing also threw the drawings to Qi Shuhai, but the technique was much gentle.

Qi Shuhai clenched his fists and led his life, the southern line is very important, but the mountains are continuous. Easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no one to lead you, it is too easy to get lost in the mountains, and it is much more convenient to set up ambushes. Lu Bing was not worried about the army in the south, and the civil unrest in Henan had been continuing, and the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself. Therefore, if Zhu Houxi wanted to attack Shandong, he must start from the north or west. Speaking of the Henan Rebellion, one of the leaders has a relationship with the Lu family, which will not be mentioned for the time being, and will be mentioned later.

In fact, Lu Bing's hostile posture of swinging the dragon gate formation in this way will make Zhu Houxi misunderstand. misunderstood that Lu Bing was determined to fight to the death and resisted stubbornly. Zhu Houxi naturally will not leave any trouble, nor will he leave time for Lu Bing to prepare before attacking. Perhaps this will hasten the start of the battle. From this point of view, what Lu Bing did was wrong, but thinking about it the other way, Zhu Houxi may also paralyze Lu Bing, let Lu Bing go, and then send a large army into Shandong to quickly disarm Shandong, and make a blow to destroy Shandong.

According to the information just came, the imperial court is going to transfer some court generals from Shandong to Beijing or the border, and some of them are going to lead troops to be transferred, which is a symbol before the move, which is gradually weakening Lu Bing's military power. Therefore, it is much better to do something in this move, which can be regarded as a happy enmity and hatred, than to sit back and wait for nothing.

"Duan Qingfeng." Lu Bing shouted.

Duan Qingfeng took a step out and said "Lord", and Lu Bing said: "You are in charge of the intelligence in Shandong, and you pay close attention to the dynamics of the generals. Once there are dissidents, or court spies infiltrate in, they will be killed first and then killed. It is necessary to ensure the purity of the Shandong region and strictly maintain the absolute control of the Lu family in Shandong. Once the enemy infiltrates, every secret military matter becomes useless, so your task is the top priority, and the required personnel are deployed by yourself, success or failure is in this move, please. ”

"Subordinates should do their best." Duan Qingfeng replied.

Lu Bing nodded and waved his hand and said, "Disband on the spot, complete the task separately, and do it quickly." ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, and then they all dispersed in a hurry to arrange the matter.

Lu Bing sighed, smiled bitterly and looked at Xia Dade and Lu Yi who was standing aside, Lu Bing said to Lu Yi: "Yi'er, my father gives you two choices, one is to go to the south to go deep into the danger to hone and gather the military force left by my father in the south, including those bandit leaders who are placed in the southern cottage water village." Although they belong to the intelligence system of the Lu family, this kind of person has always been the kind of person who belongs to the grass on both sides of the wall, and now the situation is so unclear, it is already good for them not to stab them in the back to make a name for themselves, and it is even more difficult to let them continue to work for the Lu family. Commanding these forces, you are very young, and the only advantage is that you are my son Lu Bing, and you are quite deterrent as an orthodox young master, but this trip will be difficult and dangerous, and you will even die in a foreign country, and it is difficult for your father to take care of himself now, and it is difficult to give you any support. ”

"The second way is to go to Xiliang with your second uncle to learn about leading troops to fight and accumulate experience in war. Which one you want to choose, let the Father choose for himself. Lu Bing asked.

Lu Yi thought for a while and quickly said, "Father, my son chooses to go to the south. ”

"Why?" Lu Bing asked quietly.

"Although my father lacks good generals, it is not so urgent, and I will study the same in two years with the experience of leading soldiers. In the same way, a trip to the south can also learn how to lead troops through guò training, but it may be necessary to be deceived before realizing that it is not a way to explore it yourself. What's more, now that the Lu family is in a critical juncture, my son is willing to dedicate his strength to the Lu family, as a member of the Lu family, no one is more suitable than me to collect the Lu family's subordinates. My father often taught me that as a man, you have to be responsible, and this is the time for a son to take responsibility. Therefore, the son is willing to go deep into the tiger's den to get his tiger's son, help his father win the battle, and ensure the peace of the Lu family. Lu Yimian said fearlessly.
