After dinner, the two brothers Lu Songli, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei, Lu Mingzhi and Qin Heng and Qin Zhao gathered in the main room again.
In the absence of Qin Sheng, he was very good at reconnaissance. After the showdown, at Qin Heng's suggestion, he went to lead Hu Guangcong's team to conduct reconnaissance of Qinglong Village.
It was completely dark by now. There are no candles or oil lamps. In the center of the room, a fire was lit, and everyone sat around the fire.
The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The importance of information is self-evident. After learning about the existence of Qinglong Village, Lu Songli suggested that Hu Guangcong collect information related to Qinglong Village. Together with the news he heard from the villagers of Qingxi Village today, Lu Songli made a summary.
"There are about more than 400 people in Qinglong Village, among whom there are more than 200 young adults. There is always a village leader and four heads. In addition, Qiu Hai, the head of the village, has a confidant beside him. These six people manage such a large village. Qinglong Village."
"Qinglong Village is often besieged and suppressed. Whenever the leader suffers losses, someone will be promoted and replaced. Every time he is surrounded and suppressed, the leader of the village can always escape. Therefore, there is a rumor about Qinglong Village in this area. It is ironclad. The owners of the village, the heads of Liushui."
Yang Wei summarized the news he learned today together with the previous ones.
Qin Zhao hissed, "There are more than two hundred young men, we really can't be tough."
"This Qiu Hai seems to have some luck in him." As a government official, Xu Zheng's attention has always been on Qiu Hai, a fish that slipped through the net.
Lu Songli's attention was instead focused on the humble confidant beside Qiu Hai. She did not believe that Qiu Hai's escape was always due to luck. Some luck is just the manifestation of a well-planned secret.
"Tell me, since Qinglong Village knows that we are staying in Qingxi Village, will they come and surround us overnight?"
"Probably not. In the past two or three years, they have looted homes and homes and never failed. There will be heavy snow for the next two days. Under this premise, they have determined that we have no wings to fly. How could they attack in such a difficult and harsh environment? ?” It can be said that the heavy snow bought them two days.
"But we also need to increase our vigilance at night."
The most important thing is that they have to come up with a good solution within these two days, and time is still very urgent.
"Everyone can speak out if they have any ideas and brainstorm ideas."
Lu Songli asked Qin Heng, who was deep in thought, "Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"I'm thinking about what you said before. For our purpose, we can unite all the forces that can be united. Since we can't be tough against Qinglong Village, can we unite with these murdered villages?" Qin Heng said.
In the past, when he was in the northern border, he had troops on hand, and he would directly use his troops to eliminate the bandit nests in the surrounding cottages, which were full of evildoers. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation where he had very few troops but faced a powerful mountain stronghold.
"The idea is very good." Lu Songli was very happy that he could think of this. For this, she must be sure, "But the villagers in this area are not good, let alone whether there are the other party's informants, we don't have so much time to go there." Do the mobilization work.”
Qin Heng: "Yes, I also thought of this."
Qin Zhao said at this time, "Actually, the best thing is to cooperate with the government." It is easier to cooperate with the other party's orders and prohibitions. The skirmishers formed by the villagers are responsible for shouting to build up momentum, or they can charge from behind to clean up the battlefield.
Yang Wei said, "Yes, yes, it would be great if we could fool the government into sending troops to suppress the bandits. We can sneak away while they are fighting fiercely."
Lu Mingzhi looked at him strangely, are you so wretched?
Yang Wei looked back at him confidently, "The child will die, the Taoist friend will die, but the poor Taoist will not die, do you understand?"
Everyone agrees with Qin Zhao's opinion, but they have nothing to do with the government in Yanzhou.
Lu Songli looked at the thin information in her hand and frowned slightly. The time was too short, and the information they collected was superficial and incomplete. But it's not without gain.
"Mingzhi, do you remember Zhang Xian?"
Lu Mingzhi was suddenly called by name. Hearing his second sister's question, he thought about it seriously and finally remembered where he had heard this name.
"Is it the disciple of Yan Hua whom dad mentioned before when he was slandering Yan Hua at Hongsheng Restaurant? No, when he refuted Yan Hua, Yan Yushi?"
Lu Songli nodded, "That's him!"
Now the area under their feet is under the jurisdiction of Tonghua County, Yanzhou. The current magistrate of Tonghua County is none other than Zhang Xian.
However, Zhang Xian can only be called Yan Hua's former disciple. After Yan Hua, his mentor, accepted Zhang Xian, he forced him to marry his daughter. However, Zhang Xian already had a sweetheart, and he was very talented and arrogant, so he rejected his mentor's request.
Later, Zhang Xian was transferred to serve as an official in the poorest county on the border of Dali. No matter what political achievements Zhang Xian made, Yan Hua used his power to keep him in place. It can be said that by this point, the two have turned against each other.
As a result, the other party wasted a few years in Biancheng County. It was not until two or three years ago that Zhang Xian made another political achievement. Yan Hua couldn't stand it anymore, so he was transferred to another official position, but it was only a smooth transfer.
What Lu Songli didn't expect was that the place Zhang Xian was transferred to was Tonghua County in Yanzhou.
Tonghua County in Yanzhou can also be regarded as the hinterland of the Great Dawn. It is easier to achieve political achievements as an official here than in the poor counties on the border.
But Zhang Xian may not have expected that Tonghua County would be home to Qinglong Village, a cancer that is difficult to get rid of.
Lu Songli felt that Zhang Xian could try to fight for it. Presumably, in his realm, Qinglong Village is also a headache for him.
Now that the two sides are cooperating, if there is a feasible plan, the other party should not refuse to cooperate. Moreover, if Qinglong Village can be completely annihilated, it will be a great political achievement for him as the county magistrate.
Lu Songli first introduced what she knew about Zhang Xian's resume, and then told her plan.
Zhang Xian's resume made Yang Wei shake his head, "Tsk, tsk, you officials who wield power have such dark hearts."
Everyone present just pretended not to hear what he said.
Qin Heng: "Write him a letter first and see what his attitude is."
Lu Songli had the same plan. Although they had never met, Yan Hua was on the list of those buried with Emperor Kang Cheng. Lu Songli deduced that if Zhang Xian knew the news, his impression of the Lu family would not be too bad.
The key is how to deliver this letter to the other party? Today, Zhang Xiannai is the head of a county, and it is not something that ordinary people can meet. Moreover, this letter was handed over by an ordinary person, so how can he win his trust? Lu Songli was a little worried.
"After the letter is written, give it to me and I will have it delivered to him." Qin Heng said.
The Qin family has been a general for so many years, so it's not like they don't have some connections. Moreover, among the soldiers who retired in the northern border, too many of them returned to work as police officers there.
"Okay, brother, I'll leave the rest to you."
"The sixth brother and sister cannot write this letter." Qin Zhao said quickly.
"Yes." Lu Songli smiled, "Mingzhi, you come."
Lu Songli knew that such a letter would expose them. Because she was just a refugee at this time, she would not care or have the ability to worry about whether their group could cross Cangshan safely.
Qin Zhao nodded, "This letter is written by my brother. It's okay. It's reasonable and reasonable for him to write it."
As a result, the letter, dictated by Lu Songli and written by Lu Mingzhi, was completed in about a quarter of an hour.
After finishing, Lu Mingzhi said nervously, "Second sister, you must write a letter to dad later and explain to him that the promise to Zhang Xian was your intention. I was just a ghostwriter and it has nothing to do with me. .”
No wonder Lu Mingzhi was nervous, mainly because in this letter Lu Songli drew a cake for the other party without any burden, and at the same time, he caused a lot of trouble for his father who was far away in Chang'an.
Lu Songli patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, dad won't blame you." You have the right to use it, and it will become invalid upon expiration. And as a father, isn’t it my job to clean up the mess for my children?
