Chapter 81 A Solid Family
After Cheng Liu returned to the mansion, he first asked people to go to Ziqiugang to check the identity of the assassin, although the person was dead, but the clues could not necessarily be found only in the living.
The sweet potato was still making tea, and Cheng Liu asked directly: "Is there any news from Yingchuan County?" ”
"I haven't heard from them in recent days, and they seem to be much more honest."
Cheng Liu didn't think so, thinking of the words of the Queen Mother, how to say this Yingchuan County is also a gift, and you have to take some time to think about it carefully.
Sweet potato was very curious, thinking that the assassin was sent by Yingchuan County, so Cheng Liu had to tell her about the conversation between the palace and the Queen Mother, and then understood that the Queen Mother wanted to hand over the connection points between the entire Yangzhou and Jingzhou to Cheng Liu.
It seems to be a heavy instrument, but isn't it a test?
When they met for the first time, they asked Cheng Liu to prepare a back road to escort their mother and son away, but after now, no one seems to care whether this back road exists, the queen mother doesn't care, and the people in the palace care a lot.
In this way, the burden on Cheng Liu's shoulders is heavier, after entering the palace three times, even if the information here is not very developed, and there is no newspaper and other media to transmit information, I am afraid that it has already spread to the north of Jizhou.
Originally, after Ma Yuanyi arrived in Jianye first, the soldiers and horses were blocked outside the city by Cheng Liu, and after he entered the city, he took the soldiers and horses as his own, and Ma Yuanyi did not come out again since he entered the Beijing Division.
Although all this is the credit of He Jin, speaking of which, Cheng Liu may be no different from the lackeys of the imperial court in the minds of Zhang Jiao's faction.
In the afternoon, the palace issued a notice that Qiu Liang of Yingchuan County was transferred to Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion to take up his post, and Danyang County under his rule was handed over to Cheng Liu.
The transfer of military power is commanded and dispatched by one person, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law.
A simple sentence, but it lit up the fire barrels of Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jingzhou, and quickly swept the whole country, and even Jizhou, which was constantly in turmoil, noticed that the imperial court attached great importance to Cheng Liu, which seemed to be beyond common sense.
The happiest thing is Yu Youkui, in addition to the soldiers and horses stationed in Yingchuan County, there is also her long-rooted intelligence network, and she can even connect with the Beijing Division, and there are countless secret agents in Yizhuang.
It is connected to Liangzhou in the west, Hebei and Youzhou in the north, and Yizhou and Jiaozhou in the south as the core points.
So don't look at it in ancient times, all kinds of media information is not developed, and even the transmission of information takes a long time, but in the eyes of Yu Youkui, maybe it is just a night of time, and the news of Yizhou and Jiaozhou in the south will go straight to the north of Jizhou, or directly to Yangzhou.
This is all thanks to the Yizhuang and secret agents that Yu Youkui had spent a lot of manpower and material resources on before, and now although they are all on Cheng Liu's body, he doesn't dare to use them blindly, so he just lets the sweet potato be dispatched alone.
"Childe, at this time, Yingchuan County in Yuzhou is in your hands, so isn't this Jingzhou also able to serve as the gate of Yangzhou?"
This is arrogant, but it is not true at all.
Although Yingchuan County is not as good as Runan or Shinye, it is second only to these two places in terms of strategic location.
And in Jingzhou, the only one that can be docked is Xiangyang, but don't forget, now Runan and Xinye are fighting with Zhang Jiao's troops, and Xiangyang is also in danger, so among the remaining Han families, the most reliable is Yingchuan County, although it is not in Jingzhou, but the defense line is directly bordered, and Jingzhou is the gateway to Yangzhou, which sounds crazy, but in fact, that's it.
Cheng Liu smiled: "Yu Youkui, can you tell me honestly now?" How many soldiers and horses have you hidden in Yingchuan? ”
Yu Youkui gestured, and Cheng Liu almost didn't drop his jaw in shock.
"What? Surprised? He can pull so many people with his horns, why can't this girl? However, half of it is due to the resourceful military advisor Tian Feng under your seat, and a lot of the momentum is attracted by the prestige of your dignified Danyang County Guard, and I will not rob you of this credit. ”
Cheng Liu couldn't laugh or cry, but the gesture she just compared showed that there were at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, which was really rare for Yingchuan, who was wrapped by Zhangjiao's followers.
Although there are nearly 20,000 garrisons here, there are 1,000 garrisons between each Yizhuang, which is incredible to think about.
So Cheng Liu looked back and thought about his soldiers and horses in Danyang County, which were visible to the naked eye, and even the 20,000 soldiers and horses he had deceived were pressed at the pass, unable to move, and his heart was congested when he thought about it.
While chatting, new information came from outside the county, the county guard has a special department to check information, and no outsiders know about it, and even those assassins who have come to check the county guard's mansion, even if they are lucky enough to leave the county guard's mansion, but it won't be long before they will be found out by the county guard's office.
For example, the assassin who put the note directly on the table yesterday, the spies sent out by Sweet Potato found out that it was Tao Qian's person, but because of his light work, he found nothing except this information.
However, since he knew that it was Tao Qian's person, Cheng Liu was also a little relieved.
And the new news at this time was actually from the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion.
The fish was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Damn, you still have a hook in the Assassin's Mansion?"
Cheng Liu coughed dryly, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "What's this, even the palace has my dead soldiers, isn't it normal?" ”
Yu Youkui shook his head again and again, bluntly saying that Cheng Liu was really terrible.
Originally, her intelligence network was unique in the world, but after being handed over to Cheng Liu, it seemed that she had made a qualitative leap, penetrating deeper and deeper, and it was still under the condition of being unaware.
Even Yu Youkui, who had been staying by Cheng Liu's side, didn't notice it, let alone those big officials.
Cheng Liu retracted his thoughts and waited for the Fuzhong to investigate the authenticity of this information.
After a while, Sweet Potato walked out with an official document, which was a re-excerpted document.
"Hey, old fellow, can't hold it now?"
Yu Youkui leaned over curiously, only to see that there were only a few words on it, but the information revealed was related to Qiu Liang.
Qiu Liang set off at noon, and after the announcement in the palace was issued, he handed over the military power, which is no wonder, staying a few more minutes will lose face, so he went to Yangzhou early to join his little-known father.
But at the same time, the Assassin Mansion was not idle, and played one after another, the general reason is that Cheng Liu did not have substantive military achievements, but he controlled such a large number of soldiers and horses in his hands, was not peaceful, did not go north to fight against Jizhou, and so on a series of crimes.
The palace only rejected one sentence, taking over Yingchuan is to quell the chaos, as for going north, Xu Shu, a strategist in his army, has led the soldiers and horses to the north of Jizhou, although Zhang Jiao went south, but the remnants of the troops still stayed in Jizhou, at this time cut off their back road, how can there be injustice, not north to Jizhou?
