When Lu Shen and Li Bingxue came out of the Governor's Mansion, the sky was already dyed with sunset, and the world was a dim color.

The two of them strolled through the orderly Gaoyuan City, their own soldiers following far behind.

After spending a nervous New Year, the people in the city found that although the Qi army looked fierce and vicious, the military discipline was very strict, and there were very few malicious acts of intrusion on the residents.

Even though there were occasional cases where the military men forcibly lowered the price or had conflicts with the people in the city, the ubiquitous military law corps was able to make the right judgment impartially, which gradually calmed the people down, and the city gradually returned to its former vitality.

At this moment, Lu and Li and their soldiers were wandering on the main street in the north-south direction, and passers-by quietly looked at them, and there was no obvious fear and vigilance in their eyes, but more curiosity.

"Although Governor Xiao didn't say it explicitly, I think he should agree with your strategy."

Although Li Bingxue is wearing casual clothes today, it is also a close-fitting outfit that is convenient for mobility, with green silk on his head curled into a bunch of high ponytails, and only one hosta runs through it.

Coupled with her slender figure and cold jade-like face, walking on the street obviously received much more attention than Lu Shen.

Just now in the Governor's Mansion, after the early debate and Lu Shen's detailed account later, Xiao Wangzhi did not deny Lu Shen's proposal, but this matter cannot be done overnight, and it has to be adjusted according to the specific progress of the war.

Lu Shen's mood is relatively relaxed, and being able to convince Xiao Wangzhi is undoubtedly a solid first step forward, and then he will enter the field he is best at - looking for flaws and loopholes while entangled with the enemy, and then expand the results step by step.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "It's hard to say now, if Qing Yu Zhongwang's will is strong enough to stick to Heluo wholeheartedly, I can't weaken his forces." ”

This is a big truth, all his plans are based on the other party's bait, neither he nor Xiao Wangzhi is absolutely sure, and it ultimately depends on what choice Qing Yu Zhongwang will make.

"I think it's hard for Qing Yu Zhongwang to be consistent under the lure of your cunning tricks one ring after another."

Li Bingxue smiled, teasing rather rarely.

Lu Shen was very amused by her "cunning" evaluation, so he took the opportunity to say: "Having said that, just now you argued with reason in front of the Grand Governor, this is the first time I have seen Ling's aura, at least three or four stories high. ”

Li Bingxue had never heard of the word "aura" before, but he could barely guess the meaning of the word in context.

She turned her head to look at Lu Shen, and said with a smile: "Lu Shen, are you implying that I am fierce?" ”

Lu Shen faintly felt the murderous aura hidden under her gentle words, so he said seriously: "How come? I am praising Li Duwei for his clear distinction between public and private, firm stance, and clear organization, and he will definitely become the coach of the Great Qi side in the future. ”

Li Bingxue couldn't help but laugh and criticized: "I'm lazy." ”

The two walked across the long street and came to another street, and in the distance was the forked road, heading west to the Sharps Camp station, and to the east was the Feiyu Camp station.

Lu Shen felt that the two of them were very comfortable with each other now, and there was no need to deliberately mention or avoid certain topics, only the word honesty, and they were also leaders on the battlefield, and they had a common language in many aspects, and the occasional joke made the atmosphere more warm.

He smiled, and then said with considerable concern: "Old Doctor Xue has gone to Jiangbei, and Governor Li Dadu will definitely be able to recuperate properly, don't worry too much." ”

Li Bingxue's heart moved slightly, she had never expressed this worry in front of outsiders, but how could she forget her father's illness in her heart, but she couldn't show weakness when she led the troops outside, so she had always hidden her worries deep in her heart.

Hearing Lu Shen's concern, she nodded lightly and said, "I believe in Divine Doctor Xue's medical skills. Speaking of which, I really want to thank you for that. ”

"Didn't you say before that you and I don't say thank you? If you count it carefully, it is clear that you help me more often, outside Guangling City, the attack on the capital, the battle of Lei Ze, and even some time ago you accompanied me to Taixing Mansion, how can you calculate one by one? ”

"I didn't do anything about Taixing Mansion, I just accompanied you on a trip to Huaizhou. As for other things, you just said that I have a clear distinction between public and private, and those things are originally military affairs. ”

"Uh...... Yes, but we are friends, and it is only natural for us to help each other. ”

His brain turned fast enough, Li Bingxue didn't continue to argue, but said with interest: "Lu Shen, are you so eloquent and empathetic in front of every girl?" ”

Lu Shen immediately became alert and explained: "Actually, I have a very stupid mouth. ”

"It's strange to believe you."

Li Bingxue glanced at him, then snapped his fingers and said, "I suddenly found something very interesting. Just now, you are discussing the strategy in front of Governor Xiao, and there are two points that are very crucial. One is the civil strife in Heluo City, here you have to use the power of Zhai Lin Wang's family, to put it bluntly, you have to write a letter to Wang Chulong and have a good exchange with this famous concubine. ”

Lu Shen wisely shut his mouth.

Li Bingxue said again: "Second, the Seven Star Army in the Baotai Mountain in the north will become the surprise soldier in your plan, so you still have to write a letter to Lin Xi to talk about the separation with your senior sister, and then tell her the detailed plan." In that case, that's not a ......"

She stopped abruptly, because she couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

Lu Shen answered with a smile: "Is this the highest level of eating soft rice?" ”

Li Bingxue also smiled: "You said it yourself." ”

Lu Shen turned his head to look at her, blinked, and said, "Actually, you still missed someone." ”

Li Bingxue said in surprise: "You don't want to talk about Qingyu Huaijin, right?" Lu Shen, if you can really win over that Jing Dynasty County Lord, I will immediately go to Governor Xiao, and then all the strategic arrangements will be carried out according to your ideas. ”

"Where do you think of it......"

Lu Shen was choked by her, and then smiled helplessly: "I mean you personally." ”

Li Bingxue was stunned: "Me? ”

Lu Shen looked solemn and nodded: "Yes, in my expectation, the Flying Feather Battalion will become a divine weapon to annihilate the enemy's living force. This Excalibur is in your hand, and only you can do it to them, so I have to get along with you and ask you to strike decisively at a critical moment. ”

Li Bingxueqiao's face was slightly red, her heartbeat accelerated suddenly, she looked at Lu Shen's smiling eyes, and pretended to be arrogant and said, "It's not so easy to eat our Li family's soft rice." ”

Lu Shen quipped: "Understood, I will do my best." ”

Li Bingxue finally couldn't help it, raised her hand and flicked it on his forehead, and said with a little shame: "The more you talk about it, the less it looks." ”

Lu Shen accepted it when he saw it, and smiled and put it away.

When the two walked to the intersection and were about to separate, Li Bingxue suddenly said: "Joke is joke, I won't mess around on business." When we parted at Hakubadu, I told you that there will be a time when we will fight side by side in the future. Now that my wish has finally been fulfilled, I hope that you will not be afraid of personal friendships, and that everything should be the most important thing about war. ”

She paused, the afterglow of the setting sun shining on her body with a soft look, and then said, "No matter when, where, or under any circumstances, I will lead the Flying Feather Battalion to defeat the enemy. ”

Lu Shen stared into her eyes and nodded, "I firmly believe that you can do it, and I will not let you down." ”

"Precious."

"Precious."

Li Bingxue smiled slightly, turned around and strode away.

Lu Shen looked at it for a moment, then gathered his mind and returned to the Ruishi Battalion station.

As Li Bingxue said, he wrote two long letters that night, sent them to the north and south respectively, and the next day he led the Ruishi battalion to leave Gaoyuan City, but instead of joining the large army besieging Ruyin City to the north, he turned to march to the west, aiming at Qingliuguan west of Dongyang Road and north of Yanjinggi.

Before the 15th day of the first month, the Huaizhou army began a series of movements, and several military orders were issued from the Governor's Mansion to various places.

The Feiyun Army still divided its troops to garrison Pingli City and Ningling City, while the Zhenbei Army, Guangling Army and Pingshan Army continued to advance northward, taking Ruyin City as the ultimate strategic goal, methodically clearing the garrison Yan army on the periphery of Ruyin, and tightening the encirclement step by step.

There are two roads from Dongyang Road to Heluo City, one of which is to go northwest through Ningling City, and after passing through the Leize Plain, you can see a small city named Teng County after walking more than 30 miles.

After the defeat of the main force of the Jing army, Qing Yu Huaijin had a short stay in Teng County, and met Qing Yu Zhongwang here, and the two soon returned to Heluo, leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in Teng County, of which Yan Jing's army accounted for half of each.

There are still three cities and one pass from Tengxian to Heluo, and the current garrison is relatively empty.

The second road is from Fengfu City on Dongyang Road to the west, and you can reach Heluo City through a straight road of more than 400 miles. Although the road is relatively smooth, there are many obstacles along the way, and the first pass is the Cheonryeksu Pass, which guards the road to the Gyeonggi area of Yenkook.

When the time came to the end of January, the Ruishi Battalion and the Lai'an Army suddenly appeared in the east of Qingliu Pass, and the master of the pass would immediately send a message to Heluo.

He thought that the Qi army should not have the courage to attack from Qingliu Pass to the west to the city of Heluo, but in the two years of war, the Qi army was almost invincible, so he did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and begged the imperial court to send reinforcements in the military emergency.

And before this military emergency report was delivered to Heluo, there was a secret letter that traveled a long way and was delivered to Wang An, the current prime minister of Yan State, by extremely secret mail route.

Wang's mansion, in Lanxue Hall.

Wang An and Wang Cheng sat opposite each other, and after reading the content of this secret letter, Wang An's face couldn't help but be a little strange.

Wang Cheng was silent for a long time, and said with a toothache: "Chu Long, this kid...... Does she still know that she is the daughter of the Wang family? ”

Wang An sighed with a smile.

He looked at Wang Chulong's rich and delicate handwriting on the letterhead, and fell into a long contemplation.
