Jiangbei, Xunyang Wang's family.

In the side hall, Tan Zheng, Qu Zhong and Jiang Sheng were sitting in danger.

These three people have different temperaments, Tan Zheng is smart-minded, Qu Zhong is calm and old-fashioned, and Jiang Sheng is introverted.

In the team created by Lu Tong for Lu Shen, the martial arts of these three people are only under Li Chengen, and they are all loyal people who know their roots and know their grandparents, so they can get Lu Tong's trust.

Ever since Lu Shen handed over the Lu family's secret guards led by Tan Zheng and the others to Wang Chulong, this secret force has become rigorous and professional at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Previously, they were mainly responsible for protecting the security of Lu Tong, collecting all kinds of information that they had access to, and supervising the operation of the Lu family firm's stores in various places.

Although Tan Zheng and others have always regarded the Warp Weaving Division as a transcendent goal, and Lu Shen also gave him the opportunity to learn the regulations of the Warp Weaving Division, the effect was not very good, because they really did not have the ability to coordinate the overall situation, and Lu Shen himself did not have much time to cultivate them.

Until the appearance of Wang Chulong, the status quo of the Lu family's secret guard was quickly changed.

Her first step is to set up detailed and complete hierarchies and responsibilities, Tan Zheng and the other three are in charge of their own affairs, and at the same time they supervise each other.

Under them, the Lu family's secret guards are divided into four layers according to their qualifications, martial arts, and past merits, and the rewards and punishments of each level are detailed to the extreme, so that everyone knows what to do and how to do it.

This is a vertical and horizontal staggered and parallel organizational structure, which in some respects is similar to that of the Warp Weaving Department and the Prosecutor's Office.

In the past few months, Wang Chulong has not been in a hurry to go out to make any great achievements, she has been extremely patient to sharpen the internal strength of the Lu family's secret guards, but Tan Zheng and the others were surprised to notice that the appearance of this force is almost better day by day.

After half an hour, the three of them finished reporting one after another, and Wang Chulong bowed slightly: "Everyone has worked hard." ”

Wang Chulong motioned to Jinshu to hand over the prepared envelopes to the three of them, and then said calmly: "Now that the information channels in various places have been built, in the future, except for the eleven situations I have listed, which require the use of urgent postal routes, the rest of the information can be summarized and sent to me once a month." ”

In order to avoid their worries, and at the same time to take necessary precautions, Wang Chulong set a few rules, such as properly taking care of the families of these secret guards left in Guangling City, and giving them relatively generous remuneration, as well as very clear reward rules.

Wang Chulong continued: "Don't rush to find out the news, step by step, I will give you a detailed charter." Gain a firm foothold in the capital first, and then slowly stretch out your tentacles later. By the way, you can inform Lu Gongzi about this. ”

In actual operation, each façade is a small intelligence collection station, and the information to be investigated is all-encompassing, and then the Guangling General Account collects, screens, and archives.

The three of them didn't dare to say anything.

In the second step, Wang Chulong used the experience she had gained when she was in Zhai Lin's Wang family to rectify the Lu family's originally rough intelligence system.

The two of them also got up and responded.

The third step is also the most important step in Wang Chulong's opinion, she has established a concise and strict assessment mechanism for the entire secret guard team, especially in the cultivation of loyalty.

Wang Chulong looked at Qu Zhong and Jiang Sheng again and said, "Qu Zhong, you are still in charge of the affairs in Huaizhou. Jiang Sheng, you take sixty good men to Dingzhou and settle down in advance, I have already made a plan here, you can act according to the plan. ”

Therefore, every time they come to the Wang family, they will uphold a respectful posture of joy and sincerity.

Tan Zhengdao: "Yes." ”

Nowadays, the intelligence sources of the Lu family are divided into two parts by Wang Chulong, one is the surface system based on the façade of the Lu family's business in various places, and the shopkeeper of each façade has the responsibility of collecting local information and unexpected gains. Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Tong's caliber in front of all the shopkeepers is to grasp the business situation in various places, so as to help the development of his own business.

Wang Chulong was dressed in plain and elegant clothes, accompanied by Jinshu to the main hall, Tan Zheng and the others immediately got up and saluted, and then explained to her the situation in various places in the past half a month.

The second is to sprinkle out a part of the secret guards, set up hidden piles in the key cities in the north and south of the river, connect the dots and then form the surface, and establish two non-interfering information channels of flying pigeons and knights.

With such a two-pronged approach, the efficiency of the Lu family's intelligence collection has been greatly enhanced.

Tan Zheng got up and answered: "The villain takes the order." ”

Wang Chulong pondered for a moment and said to Tan Zheng: "Next, you take your brothers to the capital, remember not to attract the attention of the secret agents of the warp weaving department, let alone conflict with people in the capital." Now that Master Lu has revoked all the stores of the firm in Jiangnan, this is a well-known decision on the surface, so it is the right time for you to go south and take root. I have a handwritten letter here, you can bring it to Master Lu, and then collect the silver taels from him, and then go to the capital to hide. ”

The three of them said in unison, "Yes, Miss Wang." ”

When they saluted respectfully and left, Jinshu exhaled a slightly exaggerated breath, and said with a smile: "Miss is amazing!" ”

"Awesome?"

Wang Chulong smiled, shook his head and said: "It's just relying on the tiger power of Lu Gongzi, if it weren't for his unreserved trust and support, as well as the Lu family's master's clear statement, how could these arrogant soldiers be willing to obey my drive." ”

Jin Shu nodded, and sighed again: "I don't know when Lu Gongzi will be able to finish his business, and when Miss and him get married, Miss will be more justified in doing these things." ”

Wang Chulong raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know that I care about him in my heart." ”

However, there was no smile in her eyes, on the contrary, there was some concern.

She had already learned about the situation of the Son of Heaven from Lu Shen's secret letter, so naturally she would not mind the postponement of the wedding, but she was worried about his safety in the capital when the imperial power changed and the frontier was in danger.

So she decided to let Tan Zheng take people south in advance, and lay out in the capital one day earlier, so as to add some protection to her intended person.

Slowly coming to the porch, Wang Chulong looked up at the southern canopy, and a trace of longing appeared in his clear eyes.

Jinshu took a big coat and draped it on her, and the master and servant stood side by side for a long time.

……

The winter wind is biting.

A heavy contingent of Yan troops walked on the deserted road.

They set out from Yongqiu, the capital of Moyang Road, and their destination was Lingping Village, which was more than 200 miles to the southwest, and they would pass through four small cities on the way to rest.

Now the 80,000 troops of the Yan army gathered on the western front, under the command of the general Niu Cunjie, launched a continuous offensive towards the Western Lengguan of Southern Qi and Gaotang City, Lingping Village is in the northeast of Gaotang City, and more than 30,000 soldiers and horses are stationed inside and outside, which is the main force to attack Gaotang City.

This baggage team has more than 300 carts and more than 200 small carts, in addition to the rations of the people and the guards themselves, the grain and grass transported are enough for the Yan army in Lingping Village for half a month.

Although the Jingzhou Army has always taken a defensive position and has never taken the initiative to attack since the beginning of the war, Niu Cunjie still did not dare to be careless, and specially transferred 3,000 Yan Army infantry to escort the baggage, and ordered them to take the northern line and stay away from the threat of the Jingzhou Army as much as possible.

The leader of the Yan general is named Sang Yuan, and he is now the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Xinchang Mansion on Moyang Road.

He rode a tall horse, and walked forward with a gloomy face.

Naturally, there are people in the army, and because he is not a descendant general under Niu Cunjie, he has never been able to get the task of oil and water, and others are leading the troops to gallop on the battlefield, and he can only lead a group of bitter haha to transport grain and grass.

"Eunuch, you will definitely be able to rush to Fugou City before sunset, and you will be able to reach Lingping in two days."

A subordinate approached with a flattering smile on his face.

Sang Yuan responded indifferently.

The subordinate looked left and right, took out a wine bag from his arms, and said in a low voice: "This ghost weather is too cold, Du Jian, take a sip to warm up." ”

Sang Yuan glanced at him, and said in a cold voice: "The general has repeatedly ordered that alcohol must be forbidden when marching, do you want to harm the general to violate military discipline?" ”

The subordinate was bored with himself, and took it back in a sneer, and suddenly his ears moved, looked up at the sky full of haze, and frowned: "It's thundering, isn't it going to rain?" ”

When Sang Yuan heard the word thunder, his heart suddenly tightened, and when he listened carefully, there was a faint sound of thunder, he turned his head to look south, and immediately grabbed the reins and roared: "Enemy attack, array!" ”

Above the land to the south, dark clouds rolled in.

A cavalry suddenly appeared in the sight of the Yan army and the people, and continued to accelerate and gallop towards this side!

For more than three months, the Jingzhou army did not dare to step out of the line, as if it was frightened by the huge momentum of the Yanjing coalition army, and only wanted to hold its own defense line.

Even if Niu Cunjie repeatedly warned his generals, including himself, seeing that the famous general of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Li Tianrun, was so cowardly, it was inevitable that there would be a little unknown contempt in his heart.

Until this moment.

The canopy of the sky was still gloomy and depressing like felt, and the four thousand horsemen of the Jingzhou Feiyu Army were like a storm, and they came to the front in an instant.

The Yan army ordered the people to besiege the city with carts to block it, and at the same time threw arrows at the speeding Jingzhou cavalry with great nervousness.

Sang Yuan's face was pale, and what he was most angry about now was why the ranger scouts that he had spilled out did not react, and actually allowed the Jingzhou cavalry to break into the territory of Moyang Road, and accurately found the location of this baggage team.

You must know that this is not the front line of the confrontation between the two armies, but the rear of the Yan army, not only the army responsible for guarding the main road on the front line, but also the sentry posts arranged by the general Niu Cunjie in various places, and now it seems that everyone has become deaf and blind.

It is not that the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army is not capable of launching a surprise attack, and the cavalry of the Qianchao Dynasty have also entered the territory of the other side to harass them, but the key is that they have no warning of this.

The only explanation can only be that there was an internal response of the Qi army within the Yan army, and then this prestigious cavalry drove straight in, and without any hesitation, came to this place, and intercepted this baggage team before the Yan army scouts gave warnings.

The Flying Feather Army was indomitable under the leadership of Li Bingxue, and at the moment when the chariot formation had not yet completed the siege, she waved the horse lance and took the lead in the Yan Army formation!

The shouting of killing suddenly rose up, covering the sky and the sun in an instant.

The Yan army's foot soldiers resisted with all their might, and the frightened people could no longer control the panic in their hearts, and the birds and beasts fled in all directions.

About half an hour later, the battle was over.

The Yan army fled to death, and in the end, only Sang Yuan and more than a dozen henchmen were left in the middle.

Li Bingxue came to the front with a blood-dripping horse lance, looking at Sang Yuan, who was holding on, with cold eyes as if looking at a dead man.

Sang Yuan's lips moved, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"Burn all the grain and grass."

Li Bingxue gave an order, and the cavalry of the Flying Feather Army used the fire oil they carried to ignite the grain and grass on the vehicle, and a moment later, the flames rose into the sky.

Sang Yuan held his long knife on the ground, looking at the Flying Feather Army who calmly retreated, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

He didn't expect that he would survive, and he didn't understand why the murderous female general would let him go.

The henchman next to the "Metropolitan Prison ......" looked panicked.

Hundreds of carts of grain and grass were destroyed in one fell swoop, and only a dozen of the 3,000 foot soldiers remained, this is the real strength of the Jingzhou Army?

Sang Yuan was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, go and report to the general!" ”
