The emptiness in the rear is not a big deal, the main thing that makes Cheng Liu helpless is that according to this momentum, the situation between Luoyang and Jianye has become a little delicate.

Yu Youkui is in Jingzhou, but she uses Runan as a stronghold, putting Jizhou and Xuzhou in a position at her fingertips, not to mention anything else, in this case, she does have more initiative.

Sweet potato thought about it, but still said: "Childe, otherwise, you go to rest first, and then the slave and maid will release the hook and find out the situation in the north." ”

Cheng Liu shook his head, his face a little solemn.

"There's no need, after going to Xinye tomorrow, I'll go directly to Yu Youkui, no matter what medicine she sells in her gourd, I have to ask clearly."

At dawn the next day, Cheng Liu barely slept all night, and when he got up, he stared at a panda with a bloodless face.

Sweet Potato was a little worried, and after getting into the carriage, he planned to change carriages with Xu Shu.

Cheng Liu stopped her and said that she still had something to discuss with the two.

Although the sweet potato is worried, there is no choice but to do it.

Although the three of them were in the same carriage, they were not crowded.

Tian Feng first asked, "Childe didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Cheng Liu nodded slightly.

"The Yellow Turban Uprising is a matter of great importance, and the current situation of the rise of the heroes seems to have been formed, but the forces of all sides are not moving."

"I set up an intelligence network before, and there are countless spies in Yizhuang, and I even sent a lot of hooks to the palace, just to preempt and take the lead."

"But now that Zhang Jiao's power situation has been formed, he can only look for opportunities within his sphere of influence at this time."

Tian Feng said with a smile: "Childe is a mediocre person disturbing himself, the faster he opens his horn, the easier it is to attract the attention of the palace, we can prioritize this matter, but the fish girl is friends with Childe?" ”

Cheng Liu frowned and thought about it carefully, if this so-called friend is not counted as a previous holiday, it should be counted, right?

Seeing his expression, Tian Feng already understood, and said with a smile: "Since we are friends, since she occupies Runan and Xinye, and has already supported her own army, why don't we gather talents on her territory?" ”

can say that the demolition is so fresh and refined, I'm afraid only Tian Feng is there......

Without thinking about it, this approach seems to work.

Yu Youkui's own purpose is to support him to take the position, judging from the current situation, it seems that it has reached the last moment, and it seems to make some sense to let Yu Youkui dedicate some soldiers and horses.

On the third pole of the day, Cheng Liu and his party finally arrived in Xinye, but the gate of the city was closed, and the passes were also heavily guarded.

Cheng Liu wasn't sure if it was Yu Youkui's soldiers and horses, so he asked Sweet Potato to send someone in to investigate.

After waiting for about half a pillar of incense, news finally came out of the city, and a team of people went out of the city to greet them.

After keeping up with the army in front, although Cheng Liu was sitting in the carriage, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at the situation outside.

is slightly different from what he imagined, this Xinye is not as rich as he imagined, at least compared with Danyang County, it is a few Lingyang counties behind.

According to historical records, both Xinye and Runan are rich lands, but the scene in front of him greatly exceeded his expectations.

After passing through a few streets, the army stopped in front of the main city house.

The rest of Cheng Liu's soldiers and horses were stationed outside the city, and only a team of followers followed.

Entering the house, compared with the hustle and bustle outside, it was much quieter.

Yu Youkui was waiting in the hall, and there were also a lot of guards standing outside, and after Cheng Liu entered, these people moved to the outside of the hall gate, guarding the courtyard in all directions.

Xu Shu and Tian Feng naturally followed closely, and after Cheng Cheng entered the seat, the two sat down with apprehension.

"I didn't expect you to be quite fast, I thought it would still take at least a day to arrive."

After Yu Youkui finished speaking, he instructed the maid to serve tea.

Cheng Liu retracted his gaze and asked, "You are not in Yingchuan, why did you come to Xinye?" ”

"I've been to Xinye and Runan, haven't you already received a tip? To be honest, this Jingzhou is not as complicated as you think, except for the rebel army, the rest are my soldiers and horses, so here you can act recklessly. ”

Cheng Liu didn't think about it like this, but since Yu Youkui took the initiative to speak, he could only follow her words.

"Zhang Jiao's vein has taken off, from Jizhou to the south, passing by Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou have his forces to take root, I am afraid that in the end it will go around to Jingzhou, and then turn to Qingzhou, in short, the northwest region of Luoyang is already within his control."

Yu Youkui asked with some curiosity: "Then do you know that he sent Ma Yuanyi to Yangzhou to take Jianye into his pocket?" ”

Cheng Liu nodded: "I know." Therefore, the 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside Jianye City have been directly stationed in the various passes of the Beijing Division, in order to prevent Ma Yuanyi from suddenly skipping Jianye and approaching Luoyang. ”

Yu Youkui gently tapped the table with two fingers, and then asked a little indifferently: "According to your meaning, at the beginning of spring next year, don't you plan to let Luoyang's soldiers and horses come out?" ”

"It's hard to say, if you can stop it, if you can't stop it, I won't be able to retreat to Jianye, anyway, Yangzhou Thorn Shi is also turning a blind eye, even if I transfer troops on his head, I won't say anything. It's you, Jingzhou has so many soldiers, what should you do when you go south? ”

"I have my own way, you don't need to worry about that. But you have to remember that from now on, Jingzhou's soldiers and horses can be deployed at will, but mainly to intercept the soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turban Army moving south. You have already come out of Jizhou, and you should also know that most of the soldiers and horses in Jizhou are peasant troops, and if they go south, most of Yangzhou and Jiangxia will fall. ”

Cheng Liu nodded slightly, and the meaning of Yu Youkui was very clear.

She can keep an eye on the soldiers and horses going south, and she will stop them when she should stop them, but the most important thing is whether he can take this opportunity to win the hearts of the people, and it is best to accumulate his prestige to the point where he will be like a horn and win the hearts of the people in Xuzhou and Yuzhou above the northern defense.

"At this time, the states and counties will not make any big moves, one is worried about being discovered, and the other is that the assassins also understand that before the spring of next year at the latest, there will be a real change in official positions, and their existing positions will probably change at that time, and the most conservative way is to raise soldiers and horses before this."

Cheng Liu replied directly: "The news in the palace is that a new decree will be issued in early March, and the existing assassin history will be directly changed to the state pastor, and he will lead the counties and counties, and the transfer of soldiers and horses will be led by the state pastor alone, before that, our soldiers and horses have to be extremely careful." ”

Xu Shu and Tian Feng had not intervened before, but after hearing Cheng Liu suddenly mention this issue, Xu Shu suddenly spoke.
