"What? Are you saying it?"

In the Linwai camp, Zhu Shou's eyes suddenly widened after hearing the reward from his subordinates.

The person who reported to him was also a personal soldier of his man. He heard this and said again: "Report to the general, the Huns thiefs have been defeated. A person suspected of being a bandit leader fled. The other thirty-seven and thirteen died. All the rest were captured. Among them, the thief leader Liu Yunyan was killed!"

Zhu Shou paused, and then said, "No, I asked, what you said before, is it Chen Zhi who defeated the Hun soldiers and killed Liu Yunyan?"

The personal soldier nodded and said, "It's true! This news has been verified, and there are evidences from Mao Li, Kong Jiang, Luo Yan and others."

"Awesome! Awesome! This Mr. Chen's servant is really amazing!" Zhu Shou couldn't help but grin when he heard this, "Although people in the world look down on the Huns, they knew the ability of the Huns. Not to mention anything else, just say that the Marquis of Dongping had fought with the Huns before chasing the Jie people and almost suffered a loss! This is just like those scholars looking down on us soldiers. They felt that the army was invincible, and they knew the danger inside, otherwise how could the northern line be defeated?"

As he spoke, he realized that he had gone off topic, and took back his words, "Since the Huns have been pacified, there is no need to send people there anymore. It was originally intended to give King Lu a face. Since the Huns are gone, there is no need to send people there anymore."

"No!" The personal soldier was about to leave after he finished speaking, but suddenly remembered something and said, "General, there is news that General Mi also led his troops to Lu County. If you withdraw your troops, it is difficult to tell me what he does."

"What do you say?" Zhu Shou sneered, "I know very well what Mi Jun thought. He was assigned to Xuzhou by the Marquis of Dongping a few days ago. He originally wanted to check and balance me. Now he is interested in Xuzhou's military power. Unfortunately, his achievements are not strong. In his opinion, the matter between the Huns is an opportunity, but human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. With Mr. Chen in it, there are no benefits for him!"

The personal soldier nodded in a vague way and was about to retreat, but was stopped by Zhu Shou again.

"Go and ask someone to prepare. This general is going to Lu County in person to visit Mr. Chen."

"General, are you going to come here in person?" The personal soldier finally got surprised. "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. General, you are responsible for the army, how can you leave without permission?"

"How far is Lu County from here?" Zhu Shou raised his eyebrows, "Besides, Mr. Chen has come, how can I not come to see you in person? This matter is unreasonable. Besides, Mi Jun may have to come here in person, and I have to meet this old friend."

When the personal soldiers heard this, they knew that their heads and generals had made up their minds. According to his past nature, they could not stop them at all, so they responded.

After the personal soldiers left, Zhu Shou sat down and thought for a while, and then called Zheng Guan again.

"Mr. Zheng, now the Northern Army is defeated, and the Marquis of Wuxiang has the intention to retreat. Marquis of Dongping sent me a message saying that I would try to win the position of the Northern Expedition. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Zheng Guan shook his head without hesitation and said, "General, don't interfere. The situation in the north is not that simple. Judging from the information we received, there are many factors in the defeat of the Northern Army. The most serious thing is that there are shadows of the court's political struggle. People like Wuxiang Hou have to return to the court. It can be seen that it is complicated. General, you have just formed your foundation now and it is time to be stable. Don't advance aggressively."

"Oh? But if we can pacify the Huns, it would be a great achievement," Zhu Shou frowned, showing an expression of difficulty in choosing. "Have you ever heard from Mr. Chen? He fought head-on with more than 30 cavalry of the Huns in a flat and empty place. Not only did he not lose the disadvantage, but he defeated them! These Huns were carefully selected, and even if they were placed in the Huns' army, they were also the best, but they were not as good as Mr. Chen's servants. If he had helped me, I would not have hope."

As a general in the army, the news Zhu Shou received was undoubtedly more true. The number of the Huns and their origins were clearly clear.

Zheng Guan said, "Mr. Chen's ability to train troops is natural, otherwise the general would not accept my suggestion. He set up a big tent here and borrowed the summary of Mr. Chen's military training techniques day and night. However, this time, whether it is the Huns or Mr. Chen, the number of soldiers and horses is not large, and the two sides are only 100, which cannot be used as a reference. It is better for the general to be cautious."

Zhu Shouming thought for a while, then asked again: "But how do I reply to Dongping Hou?"

Zheng Guan smiled and said, "This is easy to deal with. Dongping Hou wants to recommend a general, but what he wants is different from that of a general. What he wants is to expand his influence among the armies. The general does not need to disobey openly, but just make some mistakes."

Zhu Shou was stunned when he heard this: "How to make a mistake?"

Zheng Guan still smiled: "I heard that the general intends to leave his post and go to Lu County without permission? Isn't this a matter of use? General Mi may make some noise when he goes here. At that time, General, you take the opportunity to make the news bigger. When everyone knows that you have left your post without permission, shouldn't Dongping Hou denounce you? At that time, you must think behind closed doors and think about your mistakes, and you can't go to the north line any longer."

"A clever plan!" Zhu Shou raised his thumb, "I thought, Mr. Zheng knew about this and wanted to persuade me not to go. Unexpectedly, it was a plea to instigate me. It was good to go to see Mr. Chen, but I haven't seen him once."

Zheng Guan smiled without saying a word and was about to retreat.

But Zhu Shou suddenly called him and couldn't help asking: "This northern line really cannot be touched? Even if he was proud of his Huns, he was defeated by the officers and soldiers and the court faced him. How could the Huns resist? That was only a corner of the land!"

Zheng Guan knew that this person still had thoughts, so he simply pointed out: "The key to this matter is not on the battlefield. The collapse of the King of Donghai, the deposed prince comes out, and the Hou Yin of Wuxiang. This series of changes shows that someone is exerting his strength behind the scenes. The general is a soldier. You must not take action on this matter. This cannot be clarified by winning a battle, and..."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "I suspect that this time, Xingtan's argument suddenly invited foreign tribes on the frontier, and even the Hun nobles could come. I'm afraid there is a problem. But these words are useless. The general only needs to build a foundation safely and wait for the opportunity to come."

Zhu Shou nodded and said, "Since you have said this, there is nothing to say. I'm waiting to see Mr. Chen. By the way, you write a few letters, call all the boys back, and go with me. They are about the same age as Mr. Chen, and they are just in time to make friends and pave the way for the future."

Zheng Guanhan nodded with a smile: "This is the truth."

Zhu Shou said again: "This kid Zhu Jing sent him out to do things and wanted to exercise him. It's time to come back soon. But I received a letter before, saying that he and Mr. Chen had some misunderstandings and just took this opportunity to reconcile. I just don't know where this kid has been traveling recently and has no one to see all day."

"General Mi, believe me. Chen Zhi is definitely not capable of this. I have seen the skills of the Xiongnu cavalry when I followed the Dongping Hou to suppress the rebellion. Even if there are less than a hundred people, as long as I charge forward, it will be difficult to resist. Not to mention his Chen Zhi's servant, even if he is a servant of the Zhuge family, it is not easy to block it. How can he defeat it? There must be articles here. General, when you arrive at the place, hand this matter to me, and guarantee you will be satisfied!"

In the camp on the other side, Zhu Jing, the nephew who was muttered by Zhu Shou, was talking to a man in armor and a knife.

The man in armor was very thin. Although he was wearing military uniform, he felt that he was difficult to hold on. He still looked majestic. He listened to Zhu Jing's words and said, "I feel relieved that my nephew said this. This time I went north to Lu County, and this Huns had been defeated. If you continue to go north, it will inevitably give people a feeling of being incorrect and dissatisfied."

Zhu Jing smiled and said, "General Mi, this matter is for me. I have some friends in Lu County. Their family is quite powerful in the city, and there are also many officials in the county. Even the royal palace can speak well. I will ensure that you will be satisfied with the general."

General Mi stood up with the flow and smiled and said, "I believe your words. I will leave this matter to you, I'll rest assured!"

Zhu Jing was immediately overjoyed and quickly got up to make another promise. When he sat down again, a light flashed in his eyes.

"So many people are afraid of Chen Zhi, a person without an official position, which is a joke. His reputation is not enough in the face of real power. My connections can even be connected with a powerful general like Mi Jun!"

……………………

"You said I am the King of Langya, why did you come to Lu County? Chen Zhi is really uneasy and can make trouble more than me. If I knew, my dignified prince followed him all the way, I don't know what he would think."

The Lu County gate has now been opened again and will not be blocked, but the people who come and go are still strictly inspected. At this time, a man in a carriage in front of the door was lifting the curtain and looking at the city gate, muttering while watching.

Beside him, a white-faced man in brocade clothes was serving him. He couldn't help but say intimately: "In terms of trouble, you are better."

Thinking to himself, he still said, "Prince, don't go to find Chen Zhi later. You must first meet King Lu. Now that the King of Donghai is here, King Lu is the oldest in Qingzhou, so you have to get close to him well."

"Okay, I know," the boy put down the curtain of the car and looked back, "But I heard that King Lu has little power and his bloodline is far away, so doesn't he have any influence in the court?"

The white-faced man shook his head and said meaningfully: "Living for a long time is an advantage. King Lu has a lot of friends all over the world, and he can't hide any news from him. You must be close to him!"
