The messenger exclaimed, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Qin Xun sighed: "Liang Xiao is cautious, how can he be truthful? As his subordinate officer, I can only listen to his verbal opinions. With such an important strategy, he naturally only told Xuan Wei that we were not his henchmen. The information I gave you, you just have to pass it on to the young master, believe it or not, the young master will decide. As for the matter of separation, I don't need to startle the snake, Liang Xiao is already on guard against me. ”

"Makes sense......," the messenger nodded slightly, and asked, "If this is true, how should our army respond?" ”

"The young master has his own opinions, and it's useless to ask me." Qin Xun said solemnly.

The messenger was thoughtful, and then asked Qin Xun some more things before drifting away.

Early the next morning, Liang Xiao convened everyone to discuss the matter.

After the meeting ended, Qin Xun found Liang Xiao privately and told him repeatedly.

"The goal of the Beihu people this year must be Yanzhou, but they may feign to attack Longlong, force the north to send troops to the west for reinforcements, and then take advantage of the weak troops in the north to invade on a large scale. Marquis of Lanling, no matter what happens, the defenders in the Yanzhou area cannot be less than 50,000! ”

Liang Xiao looked at Qin Xun curiously and said, "You and I see something in the same way, but how did you come to your conclusion?" ”

Qin Xun no longer hid clumsiness, and analyzed and explained in detail.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stirrups and horseshoe techniques were introduced, which were taught to Beihu by the Duanmu family, which made the combat effectiveness of the nomads increase day by day, and their ambitions also swelled day by day, bringing the disaster of moving the capital to the Great Zhou. The southerners are outstanding and have abundant resources, and the Beihu people have coveted it for a long time, and it is impossible to live in the desert. ”

"Now Beihudan is in the integration of various ministries and is ambitious. The relationship between Guanlong and the imperial court is ambiguous, and it is not as good as Bashu and the imperial court, and it may return to the imperial court at any time. After the Tuoba clan took refuge in Beihu, they also brought a large number of craftsmen who were proficient in instrument making. ”

"Even if Beihu succeeds in taking Guanlong, the results are limited to Guanzhong at most. However, if Yanzhou is taken, the Beihu cavalry can drive straight into the country, attack the whole country, first cut off the connection between Liaodong and the capital, and after capturing Liaodong, they can go south to encroach on the entire territory of Dazhou, and there is no need to worry about the future. Tuoba Jun is already suspicious of me, so naturally he won't believe my information. Believe it or not, the Great Zhou should not weaken the defenses of the northern border. ”

"In addition, the Marquis of Lanling should also be careful, the Northern Hebei Army has committed several looting cases, and the targets are all Dongye clan's convoys, and the other convoys are not concerned. According to the intelligence, I can only speculate that it may be related to the eldest lady of the Dongye clan who once fled, Dongye Luoxi, this woman may have taken refuge in the Northern Hebei Army, so the Northern Hebei Army will repeatedly target the Dongye Clan. ”

Liang Xiao looked at Qin Xun with satisfaction and said, "I know you have your own secrets and hardships, but you are still on the side of the court after all. ”

Qin Xun shook his head: "I'm just on the side of the prime minister and the Marquis of Lanling. ”

Liang Xiao was stunned.

"Marquis Lanling, it was your appearance that made me firmly believe that this land is still saved, at least you can make the people's lives better than before, and that is enough. May you bring a different future to this land, instead of repeating the mistakes of the past. After this year, I am ready to resign and go to the south to fight against the Tianri Sect, hoping that the Marquis of Lanling will be accommodating. ”

Liang Xiao agreed and reminded: "Pay attention to safety, the Tianri Sect may be a more dangerous enemy than Beihu." ”

Qin Xun just smiled and nodded, and the two of them didn't say anything more and left separately.

Luzhou Taishou Mansion.

Li Xinwen, the former Dachu woman, accepted the opportunity to be summoned by the Luzhou Taishou Dongye to assist the other party in investigating the unsolved case of Dongye's falling moon.

At this time, Li Xinwen was also quite puzzled.

Why did the Northern Hebei Army have anything to do with the falling moon in the east field?

This woman has a bad heart, but she is the beloved daughter of Dongye Xuanji, and the people of Liang Xiao's faction have no reason or need to assassinate her.

"My niece, when she went to Baiyun Town, in addition to that group of killers, Miss Li has seen other people who have come into contact with her?"

Higashino's face was haggard when he saw the machine, and he didn't have the joy of the new official taking office at all.

He sent people to ask Li Xinwen and her escorts, and they all said that they had assisted the officers and soldiers in repelling a group of killers on horseback.

The most famous unit in the Northern Hebei Army is the "Northern Hebei Rangers".

Li Xinwen was a messenger of Da Chu, and she was the daughter of a Great Chu hussar, so she couldn't take such a big risk to kill Dongye Luoyue, and Dongye Luoyue's death would not do her or Da Chu any good.

However, Li Xinwen stepped down from his post again, left Dachu, and traveled to Dazhou, which was quite suspicious.

"Could it be related to the Heavens and Days?"

Dongye was puzzled when he saw the opportunity, and looked at Li Xinwen.

The woman wore a mask, revealing only sword eyebrows and starry eyes, her eyes were like torches, and her eyes were clear.

Combined with the rumors that this woman has always been jealous and hateful, Higashino could only keep this conjecture and propose to Li Xinwen.

"This matter is extremely serious, I hope Miss Li can accept the opinion of this official and let the Luzhou soldiers escort you to the capital......"

Li Xinwen comprehended, nodded and said: "I can't ask for it, but I bother Lord Dongye to send the most reliable cronies, and I must not be idle people, and I will do my best to protect it." Otherwise, if there is another accident halfway, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River. ”

Seeing the opportunity, Higashino sighed: "Then there is Miss Lao Li to escort the little girl Higashino Qingyue to visit my second brother in the capital, and I will arrange a few more personal soldiers and a team of officers and soldiers to accompany me." ”

Li Xinwen looked to the side.

The girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, Higashino Qingyue, is in her early fourteens, and she is still holding a book of Da Zhou poems in her hand.

Considering that this woman has a lot of respect for Liang Xiao and Zhuge Hui, unlike Dongye Luoyue, Li Xinwen reluctantly agreed.

At noon, Li Xinwen set off with Dongye Qingyue and rushed to the capital.

This time, she was extremely cautious, sending people to protect the people of the Higashino clan, and did not allow Higashino Qingyue's entourage to leave without permission.

Li Xinwen's carriage had just left the north gate of Luzhou, and a group of hawkers gathered near the north gate, their eyes burning, watching the convoy leave.

"If you can kill the two women, it will definitely cause suspicion and chaos between the Great Zhou, the Great Chu, and the Northern Hebei Army!"

The capital, inside the Imperial Study.

A group of old ministers led by Zhuge Hui and Dongye Hongji gathered here to report the recent situation to Duan Yunyi.

After Duan Yunyi praised Dongye Hongji, he said: "This year, Beihu will definitely go south, and the imperial court's use of troops and arrangements will be handled by the military department, and I am very worried. What do you think? ”

Zhuge Hui said: "Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable, Ram Yun and Nangong Lei and the like cannot be trusted. The military department is very important and should be planned in advance. ”

The rest of the old ministers expressed their support.

Duan Yunyi was relieved to hold a court meeting.

Nangong Lei and Ram Yun had gloomy faces, guarding behind Duanmu Jie, the secretary of the ministry.

Recently, Duan Yunyi's actions in the military department have been frequent, and they have gradually become empty, and they have begun to worry.

Sure enough, Duan Yunyi announced in public.

"In China's military reform, the personnel of the first section of the military department are no longer competent for all the work."

"From now on, the Prime Minister's Mansion will take over the Ministry of War with full authority, and all personnel of the Ministry of War and official documents must ask the Prime Minister's Office."
