...

"Um……"

After listening to Xu Wenjing's suggestion, Liu Ce nodded expressionlessly and responded, obviously not satisfied with his answer, and waited for him to continue speaking.

However, Xu Wenjing stopped talking and even began to close her eyes and pretend to cheer herself up...

"Give me this one again..."

When Liu Ce saw Xu Wenjing's expression, he snorted coldly, and already understood what he meant. He should have some shameful tricks that he needed to speak to him in private.

After thinking about it, Liu Ce simply turned his eyes to Chu Zijun and asked, "Zijun, you also came from the Heyuan. Tell me your opinion. Now that the main force of the court has been defeated, what should our army make?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zijun bowed to Liu Ceru's auspicious hand and said slowly: "Report to the military governor, as the military advisor said, now that the imperial army is defeated, our army has become an isolated army. The most stable method is to take steps forward, first attack the enemy invading by the bandits, and then use defense instead of attack to restrain the main gaze of the bandits.

Moreover, according to the information, although the Palace Front Office suffered heavy losses, half of its troops were still entrenched in Caizhou. Gu Qian, the military supervisor, was also from a rank and served important positions in the border troops in Shu. With his insight and vision, he was far from comparable to Shi Zongjie.

So the general thought that if he carefully considered and analyzed, the situation was not hopeless. As long as the thief defenders in Gaoyang or Wuliang Town were mobilized by Duan Hong, he should not miss the opportunity to fight. Of course, these are the personal foolish opinions of the general, which made the military governor laugh..."

Of course, Chu Zijun intentionally or unintentionally omitted the governor of Heyuan Zhao Yuanji. He had never expected this person, Chu Zijun, who grew up in Heyuan since childhood.

When Liu Ce heard this, he nodded to Chu Zijun, and felt very relieved: "Zijun, you have a good analysis. Then the 1,000 Supervisor Team that blocked the thieves will be dispatched from your headquarters. Let the Qiang General named Dou Jun under your command assist the two generals Xiahou Qiong and Wan Yinsong..."

Chu Zijun stood up and bowed his order and said, "The last general will obey the order..."

Liu Ce's eyes were slight and his jaws were slightly raised, and then he leaned back to the prefect's office and said, "Generals, if there is nothing to do, let's go back to the camp and prepare first. When the bandits in the river are pacified, our military governor will personally submit a letter to the court for you to ask for me..."

Obviously, this is for those surrendered generals to listen to. The people in the Military Governor's Office have no sense of belonging to the Great Zhou court, but for those surrendered generals, the court's deterrence is now much higher than that of the Military Governor's Office.

When everyone heard this, they all stood up and bowed to Liu Ce and said, "Thank you, Governor, we will take our leave..."

After everyone left, Liu Ce asked Jiao Luo and Wei Ding to wait outside the palace hall, and only he and Xu Wenjing were left in the prefect's mansion.

"Tell me, my military advisor, what shameful things do you do this time..." Liu Ce raised his legs and put them on the table, changed to a comfortable position and said to Xu Wenjing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenjing hurriedly left her seat and came to Liu Ce and whispered: "Mr. Military Supervisor, you have to plan the thieves, so you don't have to worry about it at all. What I am thinking about now is how to uproot Zhao Yuanji's power in Heyuan, and at the same time, let the military Supervisor's prestige take a step forward, so that everyone in the world thinks that the military Supervisor's planning is inseparable..."

When Liu Ce heard this, he stared at Xu Wenjing in a daze for a while, and then coldly spit out three words: "Soon up..."

Xu Wenjing's eyes cold when she heard this: "Gu Qian is a straightforward person, and Zhao Yuanji is also cunning. From the information from the Intelligence Department, he learned that the two of them had been together for a few months, and they had a deep conflict. The subordinates planned to make a fuss about these two people first, so that their conflicts could be further escalated, and finally turned against each other..."

When Liu Ce heard this, his face suddenly became cold: "Xu Wenjing, are you still planning to let friendly forces kill each other at this time?"

Xu Wenjing replied: "Mr. Military Governor, this is a matter of time. Even if the subordinates do not do it, the current situation between Zhao Yuanji and Gu Qian will sooner or later conflicts will break out sooner or later. The subordinates will only detonate him in advance. This is a long-born conflict of interest between the imperial power and the gentry, and it is impossible to reconcile..."

Liu Ce thought for a while and said, "But if this happens, Luo Song and Duan Hong will take advantage of the situation to Caizhou, which will be even more unfavorable to our army..."

"It is to ask Luo Song or Duan Hong to take down Caizhou in one fell swoop..." Xu Wenjing said excitedly, "The more chaotic the Heyuan, the more the importance of the military governor and the soldiers of the Far East. Just imagine that Caizhou fell, the entire Heyuan was basically within the sphere of influence of the pseudo-Chang Liu bandits, and the people were in panic all day long. At this time, the Jingweiying Army was heading to Heyuan to clear the rebellion in one fell swoop. What do you think the world will evaluate the military governor at that time? How will you view the mediocre Great Zhou court?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Liu Ce suddenly burst into laughter when he heard this, but Xu Wenjing felt very scary when she heard this, but she could only laugh with him...

After laughing for a while, Liu Ce put his feet off the table, pointed at him and shook his head and said, "Xu Wenjing, Xu Wenjing, I have witnessed it. You are really a perfect villain..."

Xu Wenjing bowed and smiled, "As long as he can help the military supervisor achieve great things, what's wrong with this villain's subordinates doing it?"

Liu Ce nodded, stopped laughing and suddenly asked, "Tell me, who gave you the idea of ​​persuading Xiahou Qiong to surrender voluntarily?"

When Liu Ce asked about this, Xu Wenjing suddenly shuddered, her eyes dodged for a moment, and she whispered: "Of course, it's my subordinate's idea. Why did the military governor ask this?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ce's tiger eyes gradually became colder, which made Xu Wenjing's back scream in a cold sweat, and his heartbeat could not help but accelerate?

"Military advisor, don't I understand you?" Liu Ce said to Xu Wenjing in a cold tone, "Every decision you have made since you followed me has been a deviant move, extreme and outrageous. Is it your style to solve the situation in Heyuan for me so peacefully?

This military governor was worried before, thinking that you might let the soldiers in the army pretend to be thieves and commit chaos everywhere to destroy the reputation of Fake Chang. Don’t you think you would handle this matter so steadily and properly?

If you really do this, you will still be Xu Wenjing? To be honest, who came up with the idea? Don't worry, there are no outsiders here, and the credit is still yours, but you must tell the truth to this military governor..."

Xu Wenjing didn't expect Liu Ce to know the truth so soon. After a fierce battle in her heart, she reluctantly told Liu Ce about the reason for that day...

"Huangfu Zhai?"

After listening to Xu Wenjing's words, Liu Ce closed his eyes and pondered, while Xu Wenjing stood quietly aside, her face full of tension and loss.

After a long time, Liu Ce snorted and said, "I have long felt that he is not an ordinary scholar..."

Xu Wenjing heard that Liu Ce seemed to have a great affection for Huangfu Zhai in his tone, so he quickly advised him: "Mr. Military Governor, Huangfu Zhai has a unknown origin and has suspicious behavior. My subordinates suggest that in order to avoid the long night and dreams, it is better to get rid of it sooner. As long as you nod, your subordinates will immediately let him disappear silently..."

"What kind of deep hatred do you have with him?" Liu Ce interrupted Xu Wenjing and asked back, "Why do you have to kill him?"

Xu Wenjing replied: "Mr. Military Supervisor, I do this for your own good. It is still impossible to determine whether Huangfu Zhai is an enemy or a friend. With his ability, if he cannot be used by Military Supervisor in the future, he will definitely become an obstacle to the Military Supervisor..."

Liu Ce thought about it and then said, "Okay, don't worry about Huangfu Zhai's affairs. Rong Ben's military governor thought about it carefully. Now Heyuan's affairs are important. Let's do what Zhao Yuanji and Gu Qian's affairs are as you said..."

Xu Wenjing wanted to say something, but when she saw Liu Ce's eyes, she could only sigh in her heart, and then bowed and replied: "I will leave for the time being..."

When Xu Wenjing left, Liu Ce immediately fell into deep thought: "Huangfu Zhai..."

While thinking deeply, Jiao Luo's voice sounded loudly outside the prefect's mansion: "Report to the Governor, Miss Xue is asking for a visit!"

Liu Ce was slightly stunned and then said, "Let her come in, it just so happens that I want to tell her about something..."

"Abide by the order!"

After Jiao Luo received the order loudly, Xue Ruyuan soon walked into the prefect's mansion with a food box and came to the main case where Liu Ce sat down...

When Xue Ruyuan approached, Liu Ce glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, but saw that Xue Ruyuan was wearing a beautiful pink silk shirt, and was surprisingly not wearing the hooded cloak, and her face was not covered with a silk scarf, and her peerless face was presented to her completely...

Xue Ruyuan put the food box on the main case, then took out a cup of lotus seed soup from it, and said softly to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, this is the lotus seed soup I cooked myself. I heard from Dr. Wu that your injuries in your body have not healed. I will give you some medicinal food to it. It will be good for your body..."

In fact, Xue Ruyuan herself didn't know why she did this. Since Liu Ce sacrificed herself to protect herself from the cold arrow on the streets of Lingnan City that day, she had a strange feeling towards Liu Ce...

At first, Xue Ruyuan thought that this might be because she was grateful for Liu Ce's rescue, but for more than a month, Xue Ruyuan found that in addition to Shi Zongjie, Liu Ce's figure was printed on her heart. She always had the urge to find opportunities to get close to him. Her longing for Shi Zongjie was eased...

Unfortunately, since he came back from Ding Mian's house that day, he had never had the chance to get along with Liu Ce again, and he didn't even meet him a few times. Today, he heard that Liu Ce summoned generals to discuss matters in the prefect's mansion, so he personally cooked lotus seed soup for him and waited outside the prefect's mansion early.

After all, Xue Ruyuan has been living in the Liu Mansion for a long time, and has learned a lot of cooking skills with Song Yanran. It is really difficult for her to have a bowl of medicinal lotus seed soup...

It was not until Xu Wenjing left that she took the opportunity to come in to meet Liu Ce. In fact, she herself couldn't say what this subtle change meant...

Liu Ce looked at the lotus seed soup on the table and looked at Xue Ruyuan again. When Xue Ruyuan saw Liu Ce's eyes coming, her cheeks turned slightly red. She quickly turned away from his gaze. At the same time, her heartbeat could not help but accelerate, and she felt a little inexplicably excited.

After a long time, Liu Ce frowned slightly and said, "Miss Xue, you are here just right. I just want to tell you about some things. I hope you can be mentally prepared..."

"Well, please speak..."

Xue Ruyuan grabbed the corner of the satin skirt around her waist with her hands and replied softly, "Liu Ce did not call herself "the military governor" but "me", which made her feel very close.

Liu Ce sighed and said to her: "Miss Xue, my military commander has received the news that the army in front of the Palace Army who rushed to Heyuan this time was defeated when fighting with the troops of the bandit Luo Song and dozens of miles outside Wuliang Town on the ninth day of June. The chief general Shi Zongjie..."
