The city of Yanzhou is about 100 miles east of the Xishan military camp, and it is already cold in the north in October, and the treetops and the ground are covered with a thin layer of frost, and the breath of people and horses is white and white.

Tang Feng is now the official residence of the Captain, he no longer needs to be called by a nickname, now everyone has to call him Tang Captain, this time I went to Yanzhou City to receive the letter of appointment first and then returned to Wuwei City to take office, and the military camp also arranged two border troops for him to be his escort, I really feel that it is not good to go to the post with a bare pole.

The three of them hurried up, and when it was dark, they had already traveled half the way, and it was estimated that they would be able to reach Yanzhou City one day tomorrow. Suddenly, Tang Feng stopped and stared at a shivering person on the side of the road with half-squinted eyes.

An attendant came over and asked, "What's wrong with the captain?"

Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "I seem to know this person. ”

After hearing this, the other escort directly dismounted and pulled the man over: "Hey, brother, come here, let's take a look at you." ”

The man was filthy and thin, his back trembled, his hair was messy, his face was covered with mud, and only a pair of eyes could see clearly, but he was also as dull as a lamp about to go out. Tang Feng looked at it for a long time and still didn't see who it was, to be honest, it was a little difficult for his father to recognize such a look.

"My lord, is it a student?" Just when Tang Feng was about to give up, the other party spoke.

"Are you?" As soon as the other party spoke, Tang Feng felt even more familiar, but he couldn't think of who it was.

The man straightened his dirty robe, smoothed his hair and then rubbed it to the end: "My lord, I, the military advisor of Erlang Mountain." ”

"Oh~~" Tang Feng remembered at this time, but he immediately frowned and asked, "Why did you fall like this?"

"Student...... ...... Erlangshan snorted and said, "The students followed the rescued family down the mountain that night, and then came to the city of Yanzhou to join their relatives, but the relatives had already moved to other places, and the people around me didn't know where they went...... Ahh

Tang Feng saw that he was shaking like a sifting chaff, so he pointed to the inn on the side and said, "Let's go to the inn first and then talk slowly." “

Erlang Mountain's military advisor was indeed hungry, and the dishes on the table were basically solved by himself, so the two guards had to go back to the room first with two steamed buns.

"Uh......" Erlangshan Military Master covered his stomach and burped, maybe he knew Sven after eating a full meal, his dirty face suddenly turned red: "My lord smiled." “

Tang Feng waved his hand: "It's okay." After chatting for a while, he learned that the military advisor of Erlang Mountain is called Hu Yang, who is a typical scholar, even if he doesn't know anything except him, and his current fate is also because of useless acid scholars.

However, at this time, Tang Feng had an idea, he now wants to go back to the ruling party, of course, he can have his own ideas in terms of the general policy, but in some details, he needs a strategist, the military advisor of Erlang Mountain in front of him is a scholar, and he should be familiar with the laws of Nanchu. So Tang Feng raised his head: "Anyway, you have nowhere to go, just mess with me in the future!"

The Erlangshan military division had just stuffed two steamed buns into his sleeves, waiting to eat them tomorrow when he was hungry, when he heard Tang Feng's words, he was so frightened that the steamed buns rolled out. His face, which was still flushed just now, turned as pale as paper and bloodless, but he had seen Tang Feng kill people, he was sure that Tang Feng did not blink at that time.

"Hey...... I...... That ......" Erlangshan military division stammered and didn't know what to say.

Tang Feng was depressed, didn't he bow his head and bow down? Lao Tzu's momentum was insufficient, and the spirit of the king was not pure enough? If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, Tang Feng smiled and said, "That's it, you come with me tomorrow." With that, he got up and went back to his room.

Tang Feng thought that he was smiling kindly, but the evil spirit at the corner of his mouth made the Erlang Mountain Military Division creepy, and after Tang Feng left, the Erlang Mountain Military Division slipped and fell to the ground: "Oh my God, what have I done?"

There is a huge mansion in the easternmost part of the city, which covers a vast area, including the Purple Mountain and the Crescent Lake in the city. This is where General Zhenbei is located, and it is also the center of the entire Northland.

In fact, many people don't know that such a large area is actually two houses connected together. One is the Zhenbei General's Mansion, which is in charge of Beidi affairs, which is a functional institution to the outside world, and the other is the Zhenbei General's Guogong Mansion, which is just a residence where his family lives.

There is a very special small courtyard in the place where the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the Guogong Mansion meet, where it is forbidden for idle people to enter, and there are guards of the Guogong Mansion on weekdays, there is a three-story small building in the courtyard between several corridors, and here is the most confidential secret building of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

The first floor of the secret building is the study of General Zhenbei and the place to meet his henchmen, and the second floor is to store some important things, such as the magic weapons collected by General Zhenbei or the new weapons made by the armory bureaus in various places, which are all things that need to be kept secret. The third layer is where the military deployment maps and material storage maps of various parts of the Northland are stored.

Zhenbei General Xu Xiongbei is over fifty years old but in good spirits, he is burly, his eyebrows are like long swords, his eyes are like bright lights, and his square face is not angry and arrogant. It's just that his sword eyebrows are tightly locked at this time, and he said anxiously: "Now that the imperial court has paid attention to the matter of secret letters, what should we do?" ”

There is a hollow copper furnace of unicorn playing ball in the corner of the wall, which is lit with purple gas and pure incense produced in the western mountains, this incense smells and has the effect of refreshing and awakening, but once the incense gathers more, it will be smoky, and the person who smells it is dizzy. At this time, this is the case in the study on the first floor of the secret building, probably because of the cold, the doors and windows in the study are closed, and the smoke cannot be dispersed, and there is a pervasive feeling.

In the left hand of General Zhenbei sat an old man in a gray robe, although the old man was bald but his face was ruddy, and more importantly, he was in good spirits, and he didn't see the old man's rickets and hunchbacks at all, he was the first strategist He Lao next to General Zhenbei.

He Lao covered his mouth and nose and coughed lightly twice, got up and opened the window, as soon as the window opened, the smoke in the room dissipated, and in exchange for a cold wind with a chill, He Lao took a deep breath of cold air and said with a smile: "The old man has already thought about this matter, and there are three strategies for General Zhenbei to choose." ”

General Zhenbei was immediately overjoyed: "Old He, please speak." ”

He Lao didn't sell it anymore, and sat back on the chair and said: "Make a decision, cover your ears and steal the bell, we will pretend that this incident has never happened." He Lao, the general of Zhenbei, said again: "To do this is actually to tear your face with the imperial court, and they will also cut off some of our supplies in the future." ”

General Zhenbei thought for a moment and shook his head and asked, "What about the middle strategy?"
