An hour later, Lu Xun stood at the door with a smile on his face, waving to Gou Lin who was laughing and walking away. The moment he left the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, his face suddenly changed. He became gloomy, with a look of extreme contempt and disdain, and even subconsciously slapped his nose.
A little Taoist boy beside him said softly: "Master, do you want to tidy up the hall now?"
Lu Xun curled his lips and said, "Take the futon where General Gou sat on and burn it. Then wash the land ten times. Open all the doors and windows and light double the incense. When I come back tomorrow, I don’t want to smell any of this weird smell again.”
The boy bowed and retreated. Lu Xun shook his head, turned and walked around the main hall, twisting and turning, and arrived at a wing in the inner courtyard. As the door opened and closed, a ray of sunlight shone on the lifeless cloak. On the bronze mask, his voice came coldly: "You shouldn't show your disgust towards Gou Lin in front of your subordinates. If this news leaks out, I'm afraid it will affect cooperation."
Lu Xun shook his head, sat down in front of the cloak, and said: "These guys probably haven't showered for several years. The smell makes me want to vomit, and there are lice all over the body. I really don't know how they do it." I can bear it.”
Doupeng shook his head: "I just said that it is because there is an extreme lack of water on the grasslands in their hometown. Many of these grassland barbarians only take three baths in their lives, once for birth, once for death, and once for marriage. If you really want What's more, when you go to the grassland, where are the conditions for you to bathe three times a day like now?"
Lu Xun sighed: "The lesson learned by the Lord God is that no matter what, these barbarians are useful to us, especially since most of their subordinates are cavalry, which can make up for our biggest shortcomings. However, these Qiang and Di cavalry have always been unorganized and unorganized." Is discipline really useful against the main force of the Shangbeifu Army?"
Doupeng sneered: "Even the invincible Murong clan's Yan cavalry is no match for Liu Yu. If the Hou Qin tribal cavalry is really effective, they won't beat Liu Bobo to the ground. However, they are cavalry after all. They can be used to build up their momentum and cut off the enemy's supplies. In this land of Jingzhou, they are of great use in harassing Liu Daogui's state and county defenders. Also, when you meet up with Xu Daofu , it can make him re-examine your strength."
Lu Xun nodded: "However, by doing this, the deity is giving me all the soldiers and horses under Huan Qian. How can Huan Qian agree to this?"
Doupeng shook his head: "Huan Qian has no way to restrict these people. It's just Yao Xing's verbal promise. Don't look at this Gou's imperial edict from the Qin Emperor. In fact, it's just an excuse. If they really According to Yao Xing, he had already been sent to Lingbei to fight against the Hu Xia. Why did he come here all the way? It was not because I spread rumors among these tribes, saying that Jiangnan is rich, full of gold, silk and women. , that’s why these barbarians are willing to come.”
"Huan Qian runs this Jingzhou as his hometown. Naturally, he will not allow these barbarians to burn, kill and loot here. You just responded very well. If Huan Qian can't give it, you can give it as you like. Anyway, you don't regard the people here as His own people can be used to meet the needs of these barbarians first. After all, it is impossible to ask people to fight to the death without giving them some benefits. Therefore, Huan Qian can only summon his old Huan clan troops now. When Gou Lin comes here, he will be left with He has hired two thousand cavalry as guards, which is worthy of him."
Lu Xun nodded: "But this means that Huan Qian has no hope of getting there. Now Qiao Daofu is still attacking Baidi City, and he won't be able to come here in a short time. If I follow what the god said, , to join forces with Junior Brother Xu in Yuzhang, the pressure from Liu Daogui is gone. What if he sends troops to pursue our army, or sends troops to southern Hunan to cut off my retreat?"
Doupeng smiled slightly: "Now that you have cavalry and those wooden armored mechanists who have been secretly preparing for a long time, tell me, how are you going to deal with Liu Daogui?"
Lu Xun's expression changed slightly, and he turned to smile: "I understand, the god is really wise, I will definitely act according to your will."
Doupeng smiled and nodded: "Xu Daofu has the art of war. You have a large army. He can defeat He Wuji. You also have a way to deal with Liu Daogui. If you solve Liu Daogui's pursuers, then you can naturally follow Dao with confidence. Now that we have reunited, if you go with tens of thousands of troops, you don't have to worry about him annexing or replacing you. Don't worry, with me here, he won't dare to mess around."
Lu Xun smiled and said: "Okay, then I will do as you say, I will put Zhu Chaoshi back and let him..."
Doupeng curled up his lips: "Do you completely trust Zhu Chaoshi now?"
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, then said: "Is it possible that this person has other thoughts? We have spread the news that it was he who killed He Wuji. Xu Daofu also deliberately let Zhang Shao go. Deng Qianzhi and others went Report the news, even if he wants to return to the Beifu Army, he will be dead."
Doupeng sighed: "This trick works for people who are afraid of death, but it is hard to say for people who are not afraid of death. Just like there are so many soldiers of the Beifu Army who would rather die than surrender. Do you think they will be afraid of death?"
Lu Xun's expression changed: "Could it be that this man named Zhu is still secretly communicating with the Beifu Army and wants to serve the Jin Army? Then I will simply kill him to avoid future troubles."
Doupeng shook his head: "Don't be like this for the time being. Talents are rare. Xiao Zhu is indeed Liu Yu's disciple. He has outstanding military talent. When he answered me just now, his thinking was very clear. He is fully qualified as an arguer. If he is willing to sincerely Serving for the League of Gods is a great thing. If I stay with you, it can also make up for your lack of generals here. After all, you should be very clear about the level of Fan Chongmin and Xia Gui compared to him."
Lu Xun gritted his teeth: "But now that my sister is gone, there is no way to test him anymore. And I believe that he passed my sister's test. Otherwise, my sister would not die for him."
Doupeng curled up his lips: "I still think there is something wrong with your sister's death. Although I have not personally experienced it, but Lan Xiang is dead but he is alive, just to sow the relationship between you and Daofu, I still think it is a bit far-fetched. , Besides, how would He Wuji know about the conflict between you two? If he knew so much about Tianshi Dao, would he be ambushed and defeated this time? "
Lu Xun's eyes widened: "What do you mean by the Lord God, this person named Zhu is lying and deceiving us?"
Doupeng shook his head: "It's hard to say, but I think it's prudent to give him another try. This time to deal with Liu Daogui, let's give him the final test to see how he performs! By the way, tonight Let him go with Gou Lin to establish a relationship."
