Beihe County.
County town.
Jinyiwei Yamen.
Jiang Wei sat at the top with a sinking face. It had been half a month since he arrived in Beihe County, but as the investigation deepened, he was shocked by the Lu family's background.
The Chen family once had a monopoly on war horses and ordnance in the army, and was in the limelight for a short time.
Even so, under the butcher's knife of Jin Yiwei, they are just a group of people who are trying to sell their heads and are unlikely to become great.
But the Lu family is not like that. They have built the two counties of Beihe and Changyan into a single piece. It is no exaggeration to say that in the two counties of Jiangbei, the prestige of the Lu family is no different than that of the local emperor.
"grown ups!"
"Yesterday, Xiaojiu and Xiaoqi lost contact."
"Asshole!"
Jiang Wei clenched his fists together tightly, and there was a chill in his eyes. The Lu family's methods were really ruthless. As long as they found suspicious people, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.
In the past half month, although Jin Yiwei has found some clues, the price paid has been extremely painful.
"Close the Internet cafe!"
"Sir, if we delay it any longer, the Lu family may destroy the evidence or even jump over the wall!"
"no!"
Jiang Wei's expression was gloomy and he said in a serious voice: "Quickly send a letter to the capital to report the information we have to His Majesty!"
"We still haven't found out the details of the Lu family's private soldiers. How many soldiers there are and what their standard equipment is. We don't know anything about it. If we act rashly, it will only be counterproductive!"
"Besides, now that we have reached this point, if we don't move, the Lu family will never move first."
Hearing Jiang Wei's words, several thousand households in Jiangbei nodded one after another, with a look of anger on their faces.
"Continue to monitor every move of the Lu family. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"
"Changyan also needs to speed up. Starting from the locust plague in the past few years, find a breakthrough, start from the government, and find a way to control the soldiers of the two counties first!"
"promise!"
After Jiang Wei's order was issued, several Qianhu also strode away. After pondering for a long time, they slowly took out a command talisman from their arms: "Activate Tianzi No. 5 Secret Agent!"
"promise!"
A hoarse voice came from the corner, and a spirit pigeon flew into the yamen and landed on Jiang Wei's shoulder. After taking out a small envelope, a wry smile appeared on Jiang Wei's face.
"I didn't expect that the master is also ready to take action!"
…
Lingzhou.
Prince Yong's Mansion, in the main hall.
"Last generals Ran Min and Chen Qingzhi, please see my lord!"
"Hahaha, Yong Zeng, Zi Yun, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year!"
"I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally I have brought you here."
Seeing two burly figures kneeling on one knee, Ning Fan's face showed a hint of joy. For him, Ran Min and Chen Qingzhi were not only his subordinates, but also his friends and brothers!
Now, when we meet again after a long absence, it is natural that we should drink and talk!
Ning Fan ordered people to call the officials in Beijing and hold a big banquet at his house.
"My lord, how is the war in the south?"
After everyone sat down, Ran Min couldn't wait to ask about the war in the southern border. Now, Dayu's borders are peaceful, and news from the border has not yet reached them.
Especially after His Highness arrived in Huainan, news from the south was basically conveyed through Huainan, and even Zhenna City gradually began to calm down.
"It has ended!"
"it's over?"
Both of them looked surprised and looked at Ning Fan.
"Isn't it an invasion of a hundred thousand Nanman cavalry?"
"Um!"
Ning Fan nodded with a smile: "More than half of the Nanman's one hundred thousand cavalry were lost, and the rest are now working as laborers in our southern border of Huainan!"
"Forehead!"
Chen Qingzhi and Ran Min looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Qin Qiong on the side explained with a smile: "General Yang Zaixing, Xin Qiji, Xu Chu and other generals led 50,000 Nanyong King troops to meet the enemy, plus General Lu Bu's 10,000 The wolf cavalry surrounded them and defeated the barbarian cavalry in one fell swoop!"
"Lu Bu!"
Hearing this name, both Ran Min and Chen Qingzhi had a look of surprise on their faces, especially Ran Min. There was only one generation difference between him and Lu Bu. I wonder how powerful he was in the world at that time!
"Marquis Wen actually joined the world!"
Chen Qingzhi had a look of emotion on his face, and Ning Fan said with a smile: "You came at the right time. I didn't expect that my father would send you here. Just in time, with the white robe army and the beggar army, this king The confidence is even greater.”
"My Lord, are you planning to conquer the Southern Barbarians again?"
There was a trace of doubt on Ran Min's face. Ning Fan shook his head slightly and said softly: "After the Nanman was massacred by Lu Bu, it is difficult to change the situation. In addition, last year's battle was so severe that it poses little threat to me, Dayu!"
"Now Yang Zaixing and Lu Bu are still killing people on the southern grasslands!"
"Now, I am planning the land of Guanshan and want to capture Guanshan!"
"Guanshan!"
Ran Min exclaimed, Ning Fan nodded slightly, and Guo Jia on the side also mused: "Today, the land of Guanshan has become the back garden of the Southern Barbarians. Moreover, the terrain inside Guanshan is flat. If we can capture it, I now have an extra granary in Huainan!"
"hiss!"
"Lord, the last general invites you to fight!"
"Um!"
Seeing the two people coming out to ask for battle, Ning Fan smiled and said: "There is no rush, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. The two of you will start working hard from now on and send people to explore the news in Guanshan."
"When the time is right, we can send our troops south!"
"promise!"
When they heard that there was a battle to be fought, both Ran Min and Chen Qingzhi showed excitement. Now that they are fighting in the east, their positions in Dayu's court have been very stable, and it can be said that they have become the backbone of Dayu's generals.
If we can capture Guanshan, not to mention making achievements, it will be of infinite benefit to the Lord!
"Yong Zeng, Zi Yun, is the east border still stable?"
"Mr. Hui, now Commander-in-Chief Yue personally leads the army to control the Eastern Territory, and with General Lan Yu and others assisting him, the Eastern Territory has no worries!"
"It's just that today, His Majesty and the imperial court intend to integrate the four-party military system. There may be changes in the near future."
Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, Ning Fan's eyes also shone with a sparkle. Emperor Yu was preparing to do something big!
Dayu's military system and organization have rarely undergone major changes since the founding of the country. Now Emperor Yu is planning to mobilize the border troops. He obviously has a grand plan. If he succeeds, the reputation of the central court will be unprecedented.
"Fengxiao, what do you think about the imperial court's plan to change the military system?"
"My lord, now I, Dayu, have four frontier armies. The northern border is mainly composed of the 300,000 Zhenbei Army in the hands of Duke Jingguo, and of course the 30,000 Changning Army under the command of Princess Changning!"
"As for the western region, since the Zhenxi King's army was destroyed, it has been guarded by the former Zhenguo army, with Duke Ping and Duke Yue sitting in charge."
"The eastern border is guarded by the Eastern Expedition Army composed of one hundred thousand new troops and ghost troops. Now, Marshal Yue Fei is in charge!"
"In the southern border, the Zhennan Marquis Mansion has 100,000 troops and has been guarding the southern border for many years. Now that His Majesty intends to integrate the border troops, the organization should be reorganized!"
