After Liu He ate the supper that Xu Miao carefully prepared for him, he quickly fell asleep. A whole day's march did not exhaust him, but it was not easy, and even on horseback, it was very physically demanding.

Guo Jia's physique is weaker than Liu He, but fortunately, he has been forced to exercise by Liu He in recent years, and because he is often in the military camp and has no time to contact women too much, he has consolidated his body and can accompany Liu He to ride all the way to Zhuo County.

Although Liu He fell asleep, Zhang He, Guo Jia, Murong Ping, Sun Li and Xu Miao met in one place regardless of their fatigue, discussing the scene that happened by the Shengshui River during the day with serious expressions.

Guo Jia first said: "Today's incident on the Shengshui River has obviously been carefully planned, and the mastermind not only accurately grasped the route and rest time of Gongzi, but also chose a very favorable location for interception, if it were not for the well-trained soldiers of the Guards Battalion and fearless in danger, if it were not for General Sun to lead the cavalry to the river in time, with the situation of Gongzi in the river at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”

Murong Ping followed with a solemn expression: "Before the incident, Director Guo quietly stuffed me with a note to remind me to prevent my back from being attacked, so I deliberately stayed on the north bank of the river and did not take the same boat with my son, but as a result, there were indeed thieves on the north bank. By the time Childe's ferry reached the river, the thieves on the south bank had already reached the ferry from downstream, and some scattered feathered arrows could already reach the edge of the boat. Director Guo did not panic in the face of danger, and organized the ferry in the river to row desperately upstream to avoid the ferry approaching the south bank. ”

Xu Miao asked Guo Jia with some curiosity: "How did Brother Feng Xiao know that there were also thieves on the north shore?" Also, after the sudden attack, why did you let the soldiers in the boat row against the current to the upper reaches of the river? ”

Guo Jia explained: "It's not an expectation, it's just that I thought about it one step further, and it happened to be used." At that time, after the group left Liangxiang, I noticed that there were dozens of extra horsemen in the rear of the team, so I looked for an opportunity to get closer and observe, and then I saw that the clothes of these horsemen were wet. So it was assumed that our troops should be on the south bank of the river. Since there are our men on the south bank of the river to pick up. Then if there is really danger, the focus of defense should be on the north, so I suggest that General Murong personally stay behind the palace on the north shore. ”

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. When the south bank of the river was in turmoil. Reinforcements led by General Sun have not yet arrived. According to normal thinking. Naturally, boats in the river should hurry down the river to get out of the dangerous area as soon as possible, but thieves will also think of this. So I did the opposite, and let the soldiers row desperately against the current, which was tantamount to stabilizing the boat between the sections of the river controlled by our own people on both sides of the river, so that we could wait for an opportunity to move. If there are no reinforcements on the south bank, then we can decisively withdraw to the north bank; If the north bank is attacked, we are in the middle of the river, and the thieves on both sides will not be able to reach us for the time being. ”

After listening to Guo Jia's explanation, the other people were full of admiration in their hearts. Guo Jia just discovered that there were dozens of cavalry behind his own team, so he quickly made so many analyses and judgments, this wit and strategy, not to praise the director of the painting department, it is simply intolerable.

Zhang He said with some self-reproach: "This time I was careless, I should have sent soldiers and horses directly to Guangyang to wait there a few days in advance, and then escorted Gongzi all the way to Zhuoxian." ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to blame himself, if something like this happens, it's not necessarily a bad thing! Today's alarm bell rang at a very timely time, reminding Childe and all of us that the enemy has not stopped acting openly and covertly, and if we fail to remain vigilant, we will be negligent for a moment, and all our efforts will be wasted in an instant! Guo Jia said calmly.

Xu Miao nodded, agreed, and said: "We all know in our hearts that Youzhou can have today's situation, all thanks to the guidance of the eldest prince, if there is no him, the foundation that everyone has worked hard for will fall into the hands of others in a blink of an eye." I think today's incident can prompt us to pay more attention to protecting the safety of Childe and Taifu, as long as we remain vigilant in the future, take all possible considerations into account, and avoid similar things from happening again, it will be tantamount to turning this bad thing into a good thing. ”

Murong Ping said: "As for how to enhance the strength of the defense, let's put it aside for the time being, let's talk about the matter, and think about how to end today's matter first." ”

Sun Li didn't think about it, clenched his fists and said, "Of course, it's to kill and kill!" Kill all these guys who dare to make ghosts behind their backs, and let the world know the serious consequences and consequences of daring to attack the son! ”

"You know that you can kill, if killing alone can solve all the problems, things will be easier to do!" Xu Miao angrily counted Sun Li, "Not to mention that Zhuo County is Lu Zigan's hometown, we still don't know if there is a person surnamed Lu involved in this incident, just say that there are several other families near Zhuo County, each of which is intertwined behind it, we must either eradicate it all in one fell swoop, or don't act rashly." ”

"In addition to a few Haoqiang near Zhuo County, the enemy on the north bank of the river came even more suddenly this time, and I suspect that the Guangyang Yan clan may also be involved." Murong Ping added.

Zhang He pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, on the one hand, we will let people hurry up and interrogate those who have been arrested, and thoroughly find out the whereabouts of these people, and on the other hand, we will send troops to immediately block the road leading to the outside of Zhuo County, so as to prevent the suspicious families from fleeing overnight after the matter is revealed!" ”

"In addition to controlling the Zhuoxian side, it is also necessary to send Jicheng to pay attention to the movements of the Guangyang Yan clan, and to send Macheng to pay attention to Yan Rou's movements north of Baishan!" Guo Jia added later.

In the second half of the night, there were creepy wails from time to time in several dungeons where prisoners were held in Zhuoxian County. Some of them were hard-boned and gritted their teeth, while others could not endure the "waiting" of various torture instruments and began to give truthful explanations to the military judge in charge of the trial.

Murong Ping, Sun Li, and Xu Miao acted separately, each leading a team of soldiers and horses out of the city to block the roads to the south, east, and west of Zhuoxian, leaving only the road leading to Jicheng in the north for people to pass.

After Liu He woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and he didn't know that Lu Dao's subordinates had been busy until dawn after he was asleep, and they were now ready to make every effort to arrest and arrest the forces related to this interception.

Zhang He, who was waiting outside the house, came in with a transcript in his hand and reported to Liu He: "Childe, the matter is more serious than imagined. After last night's overnight interrogation, we can already confirm that not only the Yan clan of Guangyang participated in the interception and killing, but also the Liu, Zhang, Cui, and Zhao clans of Zhuo County, and some people from the Lu clan were also involved. The mastermind of this incident is the Liu family, and the Liu family has a person named Liu Deran, who has a good relationship with Liu Bei, and used to study under Lu Zhimen together. ”

Liu He rubbed his temples with a little headache, and said to himself: "Niang Xipi, does Lao Tzu have such a big hatred with them?" I don't want to bully men and women, second, I don't occupy houses and seize land, and third, I don't expropriate and expropriate, why do these families have to put me to death? This is forcing me to be ruthless! ”

"Childe, this matter must not be let go easily, if you can't severely punish those with bad intentions this time, similar things will happen in the future!" Zhang He said resolutely.

"I understand the truth of killing a hundred people, but this time it involves the Yan clan in Guangyang and the Lu clan in Zhuo County, if it is not handled properly, it may force Yan Rou north of Baishan, and there will be a dislike with Lu Zhisheng, this is not the situation I want to see." Liu He said with some hesitation.

"Baishan Yan Rou will have to solve it sooner or later, so it is better to take this opportunity to take the initiative. The Lu clan of Zhuoxian County is not deeply involved in this matter, but a few partial branches in the clan have been bewitched by several other families and mixed in, so they can be left alone for the time being, and send someone to Gaoyi to tell Lu Zhi the truth of the matter, and let his family deal with it internally. Guo Jia pushed the door in and suggested to Liu He.

Liu He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I will do it according to Feng Xiao's suggestion, and immediately send someone to send a secret letter to Zhao Yun and Liu Hui, so that they can secretly prepare to attack Yan Rou!" Zhuoxian's side will first control the families involved in this matter, and then take action after the Youyan Army is formed. ”

Zhang He received the order and turned to leave, but Guo Jia stood in the room without moving his feet.

"What else is the matter with Bonghyo?" Liu He asked.

"I wonder what Childe feels after this incident?" Guo Jia asked honestly and unceremoniously.

Liu He looked embarrassed, and suddenly remembered that he was still talking to Guo Jia in Liangxiang City yesterday morning, saying something like "a little less energetic" and "really uncomfortable", but he was blocked in the holy water river in a blink of an eye, and he almost jumped into the river and ran away.

Guo Jia didn't really want to embarrass Liu He, he told him about the note he secretly gave to Murong Ping yesterday, and explained to Liu He the reason why he gave the order on the boat at that time, and finally said: "Gongzi still needs to recognize his mission and status, now not only the hundreds of thousands of troops in Youzhou, Jizhou and Luoyang need you to guide the direction, but also the countless people in the world who are struggling on the edge of life and death also need you to save them, and the precarious Han also needs you to revitalize, if your safety is wrong, Who can take over the responsibility from you? ”

Liu He was stunned by Guo Jia's high hats one after another, and asked Guo Jia helplessly: "Isn't this what should be caught, what should be killed, and no one will be spared." In the future, I will pay attention to safety when I travel abroad, strengthen vigilance and protection, what else? ”

"That's not enough! Childe needs to form a secret intelligence network and spread personnel to various states and counties, so as to keep abreast of what is happening in various places and understand the true thoughts of the people everywhere; It is necessary to develop a strict travel system, prohibit unannounced visits and travel on a whim, minimize entry into unfamiliar areas, and avoid excessive contact with irrelevant outsiders......"

Guo Jia said a lot in one breath, everything was from the perspective of ensuring Liu He's safety, and the eldest prince was dumbfounded, feeling that if he really did this, it would be no different from a canary in a cage. (To be continued......)
