It was midnight after Liu Yu went out of the city and returned to the post station, and when he came back, he happened to meet Lu Chu'er shouting at a person who looked like a villager. She sleeps during the day and is in good spirits at night, as fierce as a female leopard.

"Who?" Liu Yu went up and asked.

"He said that it was the people around him who mistakenly broke into Luan's guard of honor, did he slaughter him?"

Liu Yu sighed, this Lu Chu'er also has nothing to do, and big things have to be big.

"Go and investigate whether he is telling the truth, if it is really the surrounding people, just hit a few boards and put them away."

Liu Yu entered the post station, there was silence around, the lights downstairs were still bright, although Liu Yu did not come back, but Qi'er and the Han sisters fell asleep early, only Xu Xuanzhu was still staying up late waiting for him.

"Husband, there is a battle report from the south." Xu Xuanzhu walked over and said.

"Oh."

Liu Yu took it, and it was a distress letter from a reminder like a Huo illness reminder, which was the second letter in a few days. Liu Yu looked at it and rubbed it, and threw it directly into the brazier.

"Yonghou seems to be very urgent in the south, why doesn't the husband care?" Xu Xuanzhu asked with some surprise.

"That kid, it's not a bad thing to let him suffer some defeats, he thinks he is the king of heaven when he sees people all day long, this kind of problem breeds, I'm afraid it's wild and untamable." Liu Yu poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and yawned by the way, "Besides, he eats well and sleeps well in Yuzhou City, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke the surrounding rebels, he has nothing to do." ”

Xu Xuanzhu had a wry smile on her face, although she was far away from the battlefield, she also knew that Lu Dao was trapped in a lonely city. What is most scarce is food and water. And the soldiers are in such an agitated mood. It's easy to make aggressive moves.

"That husband is not worried about the water and food in Yuzhou City?" Xu Xuanzhu asked again.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Madame may not know the local situation, there are many bandits in the local area, and they are very strong, and every family has the habit of accumulating grain to prevent hunger." And there are nearly 10,000 people in Yuzhou City, and Huo Yao's kid only brought a few hundred people over, and he couldn't eat the people of Yuzhou. ”

Xu Xuanzhu nodded with relief: "I see." ”

Xu Xuanzhu personally went to bring Liu Yu a supper, while Liu Yu was sorting out the silver tickets that had just arrived, and he made a net profit of more than 200,000 taels of silver on this trip. This is a better deal, go to a few cities, the military expenses will be available, and there will be no need to waste money and money, which is really a double win.

"Where did you get so many silver tickets?" Xu Xuanzhu came over and asked, "But what are the local officials in Huaixi?" ”

"It doesn't matter anymore. Madam, let's go down this trip and get 500,000 taels of silver, and after calculating for my husband, with these 500,000 taels of silver, it is enough to send a 10,000-strong army and horse to fight in southern Xinjiang for half a year. No more. ”

Xu Xuanzhu sighed: "The Lingnan situation is complicated, I'm afraid that 10,000 soldiers and horses are not enough to solve it. Even if it is a 100,000-strong army, it may not be able to pacify the south in half a year. ”

Xu Xuanzhu has a perennial military position, and he also knows the situation in the south of the road, although in the old emperor's dynasty, the Turks in the north and the Huai King in Huainan are the big troubles, but when the general is naturally clear about the situation in Lingnan, it is a very scattered sand, the land is large but the population is small, and there are deep boundaries between the nationalities themselves, and the local power has changed several times, which can be said to be cut and chaotic. After the Shun Dynasty pacified the world, the south was unresolved, and in the eyes of several generations of emperors of the Central Plains Dynasty, there was no need to make a big move for the sake of a barren land.

Only Liu Yue has the vision of the times, knowing that it is a good place, and he doesn't want to give up an inch of his territory to outsiders, and he can't wait to conquer the world and make the four seas submit.

Liu Yu asked, "What does the lady think, how should we fight this battle?" ”

Liu Yu asked very urgently, and his tone seemed to regard the affairs of the world as a family matter. Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but look up at Qi'er's room when he heard this, in fact, what Liu Yu said was right, how to fight this battle is already "we" have the final say.

"The concubine hasn't thought about it in detail, but generally speaking, there should be no more killings."

Liu Yue thought about it and nodded slightly, in fact, what Xu Xuanzhu said coincided with Liu Yue. Liu Yu's idea was to try to focus on Huairou as much as possible in this battle, supplemented by a military offensive, first use a wave of thunderous offensive to deter the forces of all parties in the south, and then stop fighting and talk slowly. Liu Yu also knew that Lu Dao's plan had some meaning of talking on paper, and everything had to be based on the actual development of the war.

"Don't talk about it, I'm tired after a day's work, and I'll rest early."

Liu Yu yawned, grabbed a few mouthfuls of food casually, and then went upstairs to the room with Xu Xuanzhu to rest. At this time, Cai Yingnu, who entered the city with Liu Yu, came in to report.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Liu Yu said to Cai Yingnu.

"General, how will the woman be housed when you bring it back?" Cai Yingnu asked for instructions.

"Women?" Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu curiously.

Liu Yu had a little anger on his face, and scolded: "The imperial court will deal with the prisoners of the imperial court, and there is no need for Cai Guards." ”

Liu Yu's brows locked, in fact, Cai Yingnu came in and said this, in fact, he said it to Xu Xuanzhu. The guards of these daughters' army followed Liu Yuxin but towards their boss, although Cai Yingnu didn't know what Liu Yu and Cao Yi did in the room, but she sensed with a woman's sense of smell that Liu Yu should not simply be Cao Yi a prisoner.

Cai Yingnu bowed and bowed and exited the post house, and Liu Yu went to the room with Xu Xuan to rest. Earlier, Liu Yu also asked the accompanying palace maid to prepare bath water, Liu Yu was outside, and he was still more particular about the quality of life, and he didn't want to treat himself badly.

…………

Liu Yu is not in a hurry to rescue Huo Disease, and at this time Huo Disease also seems to be picking a child, for half a month in a row the cat did not come out of the city to entangle with the rebellious army, every night in addition to the dinner is with the soldiers Kan Dashan, a mess in the north and south, there are also people in the city who used to listen. Huo Zhi doesn't look old, but he has followed Liu Yu to many places in the north and south, and he is a person with a story.

"General, how can we deal with the bandits outside?" Some villagers couldn't help but ask Huo Sick at a bonfire mountain meeting one night.

"Wait, no one is in a hurry, what are we anxious about? If he doesn't come, the master won't bird him! ”

The villagers immediately talked about it, and they were all guessing who Huo was talking about.

"General, who is that you are talking about?" The villagers asked again.

Huo Yi cleared his throat and said: "Didn't the master tell you, when the master was fighting guerrillas in Jiangxi as the Eighth Road, we were the army commander, and we were the commander above the master, to put it bluntly, we are fools who run errands, and people are talkative." He's a light man who can move his mouth, and he pointed his finger and told us to die, can that work? ”

The villagers listened to Huo Yi talking eloquently, and they used their hands and mouths, and after listening to it for a long time, they understood one thing, "that who" is a character who is more powerful than General Huo. is bigger than the general, that is the general, and there are only a handful of generals in the world.

"When's that who's coming?" The villager asked.

Huo Zhi said while roasting the meat: "The ghost knows the way, I will spend it with him, and see who is the most anxious!" (To be continued......)
