Heluo City, Zhuo Garden.

In the Xiangwan Building, a group of high-ranking big people sit left and right.

As a new military general that Qing Yugong has been cultivating over the years, he can only sit in the fourth place on the right today, and the first three are far superior to him in terms of seniority and military merits.

These three are the commanders of the three main Jing armies stationed in Heluo City, in order of cavalry commander Mou Lianghu, the commander of the two-way infantry army Liuke and the female Lu Huan.

In fact, it can be seen from their names that the Jinglian clan is gradually moving closer to the Qi people in some aspects.

All three managers are over forty years old, and they are still full of national characteristics when they are born, such as their names are transliterated from the local dialect of the Jinglian people, and there is no clear distinction between surnames and first names.

Mou Lianghu means scoundrel, Liuke means whetstone, and Nu Lu Huan means the number sixteen.

And in the generation of Fusan Sien, the surname and first name are already very formal, especially the name has a very obvious Qi style.

The three on the left are the important ministers of the Yan court, namely the prime minister Wang An, the privy envoy Pang Shigu, and the prosecutor's office who returned to Heluo to serve Wang Shidao.

On the main seat, Qing Yu Huaijin was dressed up and full of luxury.

She was wearing a silver silk jasmine placket skirt, with pale pink peonies embroidered on the cuffs on both sides, a few auspicious clouds outlined with silver thread on the background, a piece of emerald jade hanging from her waist, and a row of sea water clouds tattooed on the skirt.

The head is in a cloud bun, and the flying butterfly ink and snow are obliquely inserted into the treasure bun and emerald hairpin, and there are exquisite and transparent strings hanging on the neck.

Sleeves to see plain hands, bright wrists about cold jade.

Looking forward to the brilliance, he exhaled lightly.

This outfit is completely different from her usual concise and leisurely, revealing the four words of grace and luxury.

After inviting tea, she said with a smile: "I invite you to come to the house today, there are a few things to discuss. ”

Mou Lianghu immediately said with a grin: "Why should Your Highness see outside, if you have something to order, just send someone to say it." ”

Its shoulders are large and round, and his face is full of meat, which is disgusting to look at.

Qingyu Huaijin bowed slightly, and immediately went straight to the point: "The first thing is that the Seven Star Gang entrenched in the area of Baotai Mountain has gradually become a climate, and they have rejected the recruitment of Lord Wang and General Li, and it is clear that they want to fight the government to the end. Nowadays, in the green forests of the Northland, the Seven Star Gang, Yunfu Village, Jinsha Gang and the Double Tiger Gang are all big gangs with more than 10,000 people, and if they continue to be left alone, they will inevitably become a big problem. ”

Wang An said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is reasonable. The official had previously reported the matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty had allowed the recruitment of these grasshoppers, but no substantial progress had been made so far. The reason for this is that the Jinsha Gang and other reckless people are waiting and watching, if the Seven Star Gang refuses to recruit peace and is safe and sound, they will definitely not be willing to submit to the imperial court. ”

"That's the problem."

Qingyu Huaijin took over the conversation, and then muttered: "After I discussed with Pang Shumi, it was decided that the three thousand Xiashan troops would be led by Fu San, and Xu Cun, the deputy chief of the soldiers and horses of Dongyang Road, would lead 25,000 people to march from the north of Dongyang Road to Baotai Mountain at the beginning of next month, and strive to eliminate the Seven Star Gang within three months. ”

Everyone agreed.

Mou Lianghu turned his head to look at the servant Sansien, and said with a smile: "Don't embarrass the prince." ”

He said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness and your lordship, the last general will do his best!" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin smiled slightly, and changed the topic: "If it's just this matter, I definitely won't work you." The reason why the Seven Star Gang is stubborn is inseparable from the Southern Qi Lu Shen. This person forced Chen Jingtang Chen to death in Heluo City, making the government and the opposition almost in civil strife, so there was the reward order to seal the marquis of ten thousand households. I don't want to denounce this person today, I just want to ask you to think about it, why did Lu Shen temporarily put aside the good future of the captain of the Ruishi Battalion and ran thousands of miles to the green forests of the Northland? ”

There was silence in the hall.

The privy envoy Pang Shigu frowned and said: "Your Highness's intention, this is the conspiracy of Xiao Wangzhi of Huaizhou?" ”

After these words came out, everyone else had solemn faces, including Mou Lianghu and the other three Jing Dynasty generals.

Qing Yu Huaijin said unhurriedly: "I watched Xiao Wangzhi's actions, and I have always planned far-reaching plans, and I will definitely not be idle." Without his consent, it would be impossible for Lu Shen to leave his post as a border general. During this time, I have deduced the other party's intentions, if Lu Shen can transform the Seven Star Gang into an elite division, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble in our heartland, but does Xiao Wangzhi just want to achieve this goal? ”

Wang Shidao shook his head and said, "It should be more than that." According to the information obtained by the Prosecutor's Office, Xiao Wangzhi attaches great importance to Lu Shen, and has a good relationship with his father Lu Tong. If he just wanted to plant a few nails inside us, he wouldn't let Lu Shen personally get into danger. ”

Pang Shigu immediately said: "Could it be that he is trying to plot Dongyang Road? ”

Qingyu Huaijin bowed his head and said, "I think it's very likely. The location of Baotai Mountain is very ingenious, just north of Dongyang Road, opposite to Huaizhou in Southern Qi. If, I mean, if this encirclement and suppression of the recklessness in the mountains is unfavorable, and we continue to transfer troops from Dongyang Road, will it give Xiao Wangzhi a chance to take advantage of? ”

He didn't think that the recklessness of the Seven Star Gang could stop the three thousand old pawns under his command, but after seeing the gentle gaze cast by His Royal Highness the County Lord, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Lu Huan, the commander of the infantry army, who had been silent, raised her head and said, "Your Highness is planning to take the initiative to sell Xiao Wangzhi a flaw?" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin said approvingly: "That's right. Last year, he used Qingtian City and Yongquan Pass as bait, and teamed up with Li Tianrun to occupy nearly half of the territory of Moyang Road. Moreover, I think he must still have set his sights on those two passes, otherwise the Huaizhou army would never be able to move north. In this case, we might as well set up a bureau for this famous general of Southern Qi and wait for him to take the initiative to come in with a sense of pride. ”

Pang Shigu said: "Your Highness's policy is very good. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin smiled and said, "This is a big matter, so I invite you to come and discuss it today." However, I also know that Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun are powerful, and they will not think that they can be defeated in a battle, as long as they can seek a victory on the frontal battlefield and suppress the arrogance of the Southern Qi border army. At that time, there will naturally be people in the court of the Southern Qi Dynasty who impeach Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun, accusing them of using swords and soldiers. ”

Wang Shidao looked at the young county lord with a little more admiration in his eyes.

He already knew what was happening in the Seven Star Gang's main village, and the madness and others lost their lives in the mountains, and the strategy of instigating civil strife failed, but he couldn't see too much chagrin in Qing Yu Huaijin, but he was able to accurately grasp the hidden edge of Lu Shen's move to go north.

In terms of her ambition alone, she is actually better than most people.

About half an hour later, everyone retired one after another, and Mou Lianghu deliberately fell last.

Walking out of the Xiangwan Tower, he looked up at the blazing sunlight and asked with concern, "Your Highness, how is the prince doing lately?" ”

Qingyu Huaijin replied: "My father is fine, but he has not had time to take care of the affairs in the south recently, so he has entrusted it to me." ”

Mou Lianghu has a rough appearance, and he seems to be the kind of reckless man who only knows how to kill, but he can lead 20,000 iron horsemen to sit in Heluo, and suppress so many people in the city quietly, of course, he will not be brave in vain, and when he heard this, he whispered: "Your Majesty and the prince plan to make a move against Zhao Guo?" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin nodded.

Mou Lianghu grinned and praised: "Okay, it's long overdue." ”

The state of Zhao is located in the west of the Dajing Dynasty, and because of the surprise attack that year, it has been surviving for more than ten years.

Now that Emperor Jing has finally put the annexation of Zhao on the agenda, he naturally needs Qing Yugong to preside over the overall situation.

Qingyu Huaijin said softly: "Your Majesty and my father mean that they will first take the Zhao State and then the Yan State, and then spend two or three years digesting the territory, and then settle the general account with Nanqi." ”

Mou Lianghu stretched out his arms, his eyes flashed with violence, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has to tell the prince, we are not young, but we can't delay it for too long, otherwise in the future, an old bone may not be able to hold a knife and pull a bow." ”

Qingyu Huaijin said: "The general should be old and strong, and there will definitely be a day when the horse will set foot on the capital of Southern Qi." ”

"Thanks to His Highness's auspicious words, I am looking forward to that day."

Mou Lianghu smiled heartily, and then said goodbye and left.

Qing Yu Huaijin stood under the porch and watched, and after a while, he turned back to the side hall.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Jun, who had been waiting here for a long time, saluted respectfully.

Qing Yu Huaijin waved his hand and said indifferently: "Is there any news from the south?" ”

Xiao Jun responded: "Yes." Lujia is the local gateway of Guangling, which began to develop more than 40 years ago, and has been carried forward in the hands of Lu Tong and has become one of the top merchants in Huaizhou. Lu Tong has an excellent reputation in the local area and has close contacts with the government. When Zhang Junsi attacked Huaizhou last year, Lu Tong traveled to various places to help the government stabilize prices and stabilize people's livelihood. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin's green fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop.

Xiao Jun said tentatively: "Your Highness, since that Lu Shen has repeatedly spoiled you, can we take down Lu Tong?" Lu Tong only has one son, Lu Shen, judging from the rumors in Guangling Mansion, the father and son have a very strong relationship. If we hold Lu Tong in our hands, Lu Shen will inevitably be killed. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin glanced at him inexplicably.

Xiao Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Qing Yu Huaijin sighed and said quietly: "You have been following me for more than five years, why can you still come up with such a stupid method?" Lu Tong's identity is full of doubts, do you think he is just a businessman? Do you think you can take him captive by sending a few people to Nanqi? Can you have something more useful in your mind than women and drinks? ”

Xiao Jun was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said: "Your subordinates are stupid, please forgive your highness!" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin said happily: "Get up, although you are a little stupid, fortunately you are loyal enough, unlike some people who are in high positions, but they are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed." ”

Xiao Jun could naturally hear that this sentence meant something, but he didn't dare to ask any more.

"You go and do two things."

Qing Yu Huaijin raised two fingers and said slowly: "First, let people spread the news in the city, just say that the emperor of the Yan Dynasty hates Lu Shen to the core, and he can't kill him quickly, and this time he will inevitably kill the Seven Star Gang with the power of thunder." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Second, the news that Fu Sansien and Xu Cun are about to lead troops into Baotai Mountain was leaked to the people of the Warp Weaving Division, the reason why I didn't let you get rid of the few warp weaving divisions in the city that had been exposed was to come in handy at this time. Pay attention to doing it cleverly, so that the people of the Warp Weaving Division know that Fu San Sien and Xu Cun will march from the north of Dongyang Road, and that the Henan Road side will only block the main road. ”

Xiao Jun's eyes widened, and he was puzzled and didn't dare to ask.

Qingyu Huaijin frowned slightly and said, "Just do it." ”

Xiao Jun said awe-inspiringly: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
