Chapter 55

Juxianzhuang, Huang County, Donglai County, Qingzhou.

Lin Lin was pulled into the room by Lin You to secretly discuss the issue of the newcomers.

In order to solve the shortage of manpower, Lin Lin was forced to recruit several new families.

Now people are recruited, but after a few days, Lin You, who is in charge of management, found a problem.

And judging from the behavior of these people, he thought that it was not an ordinary trivial matter, so he hurriedly found Lin Lin and came to the secret place and said:

"Sister Lin, there may be someone among the new recruits, do you know?"

"No...... who is it, and how did you find out?"

Linlin was a little confused, she really didn't find anything abnormal, and even felt that a few of the newcomers were quite capable and diligent.

"The Zhang couple have a lot of problems, especially the sister-in-law ...... Aqing"

Lin You directly said that Qin Li was not in the village recently, Lin Lin asked him to take charge of the big and small affairs, Lin You mentioned twelve points of caution, and treated all matters like walking on thin ice, and the busy catering projects and newly recruited manpower were naturally his focus objects.

Moreover, Lin You's work habit is to pay attention to details, regardless of the form, otherwise he may not be able to find problems.

This sister-in-law Aqing saw that Lin Lin, Lin You and others were diligent and rarely spoken, and when they were not there, they became very active, and they had a relationship with the people in the village......

"There is such a thing! Not...... After I personally observe it in the past two days before making a decision, if it is true, it should be sent by Fan Jie, and it must not be taken lightly! ”

Lin Lin thought about it and decided to verify it himself, if he made a mistake, it would not be good.

Since most of these newcomers need to work in the kitchen, it is best to have some cooking skills, but in the Han Dynasty, where there was no cooking school, people with good cooking skills were not very easy to find, so Lin Lin had no choice but to find Chen Zhong and ask him to introduce some people.

Maybe Chen Zhong inadvertently revealed the idea of recruiting people from Juxianzhuang to Huaxia Liquor Shop......

So if this sister-in-law Aqing is really a spy, it is most likely sent by Longwei Mansion.

"Sister Lin still don't want to startle the snake, in my opinion, it is better to calculate it, first, you can distinguish whether it is intermediate, and second, if it is really intermediate, you can also cite it for our use......"

Seeing that Lin Lin's thoughts were still a little confused, Lin You took two steps closer and whispered his strategy.

————

Lin Lin applauded after listening to Lin You's strategy, and then asked him to start preparing immediately.

And she herself put down what she was doing and went to the cave where Yuhe built the shelter to find Ning Sheng.

Because Lin You found that the plan to expand the manpower in the village may be postponed, Ning Sheng also found Lin Lin and said that he still needs a few strong laborers to help with the construction, but now it can only be slowed down.

Lin Lin came over and told Ning Sheng to see if he had any other way to solve it, and she was also very curious about what Ning Sheng was doing here recently......

Speaking of Ning Sheng, Lin Lin was a little speechless His big heart, his younger brother secretly followed the caravan to Jiaodong to do business, he didn't care at all, saying that a man should suffer some hardships in order to grow up......

In fact, Lin Lin felt that Ning Sheng was not very mature, and he commented on his younger brother as if he had come over......

After carefully confirming that there was no one else nearby, Lin Lin lifted the cover of the hole filled with weeds for camouflage, and then walked into it and half-covered it.

For the sake of secrecy and because she was too busy, Lin Lin hadn't been to this cave for several months.

The cave where he first came to the Han Dynasty to hide from the thieves has now been greatly transformed, not only full of traces of artificial transformation, but also a long tunnel has been excavated......

Lin Lin walked deeper and deeper, and the more she walked, the more frightened she became, and the passage in the cave kept changing direction, completely blocking the light shining in from the outside.

"Ning Sheng! Uncle Yu! ……”

Even if it is dark all around, the key is that it is still quiet and terrifying, and the voices of Ning Sheng and the others cannot be heard at all, only their own shouts echo in the cave......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the territory of Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

The pasture that the Dawan people used to raise sweaty horses is now rich in water and grass, but the horses are locked up in the city by their owners and have no chance to come out to forage.

Dong Zhuo was discussing in the big tent of the Western Expeditionary Army camp.

The Dawan army was closed, and the Western Expedition Coalition Army had not fought for nearly half a month, so Dong Zhuo and several generals could be suffocated.

However, reason told him that the current situation was beneficial to his side, and the Dawan soldiers and civilians trapped in the two isolated cities must be even more uncomfortable.

Dong Zhuo once went to Guishan City to check in person, as long as the wind blew from the city, he could smell a sour smell of feces and urine, which must be a manifestation of the overcrowding in the city and the daily life of the people......

Liu Ai also judged that within a month, the combined forces of Dawan, Guishuang and Wusun would inevitably make a comeback, and if they won this battle, they would be able to achieve the goal of this western expedition.

Having said that, Dong Zhuo naturally could only press his impatient thoughts, rest in place and wait for the fighter.

For Liu Ai, Dong Zhuo likes it more and more, not only has outstanding strategy, but also knows how to advance and retreat.

Originally, Dong Zhuo still thought that after the battle was over, he would promote Liu Ai, but he only mentioned it slightly, and Liu Ai politely refused, the reason was naturally not to make it difficult for Dong Zhuo, and he didn't want to cause internal strife at this time.

In contrast, his son-in-law Li Ru is almost belly......

Since Dong Zhuo replied to the letter on the grounds that the Silk Army had many different intentions, he rejected the proposal to take advantage of the situation to destroy Dawan, and Li Ru sent two letters one after another.

In addition to continuing to exhort to destroy Dawan, the letter is to make some slanderous remarks about Liu Ai, who sacrifices wine, and has no nutrition and a villainous kiss ......!

Dong Zhuo only asked someone to bring the message back, saying that he would deal with it as appropriate.

He wondered why this good son-in-law was so jealous, and he hadn't found out before.

Dong Zhuo remembered some bits and pieces when he was still in Wuwei, as if Jia Wenhe, who was recommended by Wei'er at the beginning, said that he was smart and capable, and extremely good at business, but he was also squeezed away by Li Ru!

Thinking of this, he was very angry, although Li Ru did help a lot at the beginning of his business, and his family Fufeng Li had also vigorously funded himself, but this could not be a reason for Li Ru to be jealous!

You can't use your Li people under your own command, not to mention that this Liu Ai was introduced by yourself......

"Report! Lord, fifty miles northwest of the discovery of the Guishan and Wusun cavalry, the number of which is about 15,000! ”

The sentry's report interrupted Dong Zhuo's thoughts, but when he came back to his senses, he was a little excited.

After leading his army to defeat the Hu cavalry that was disturbing the grain route in the rear, Liu Ai sent an envoy to Guishan City with the banner of the captured coalition army to neutralize Wei, and set conditions to quell the war.

Naturally, the Dawan people did not agree, and even humiliated the envoy, so Liu Ai judged that the Dawan people saw that their coalition forces were not large, and they would think that the Dawan people would send more reinforcements to try to break the trick with their strength.

Now everything is advancing according to the calculation of the sacrificial wine, as he said, as long as this last reinforcement can be defeated in one fell swoop, then Dawan will surrender without a fight, and the conditions for the first prerequisites can be raised again!

"Come, let the generals and the sacrificial wine come to the big tent to discuss!"
