Kai Fu Han

Chapter 271
On October [-], at [-] o'clock, we were on the official road from Ye County to Huang County.

Liu Xinqi was on his way with the [-] cavalrymen of the Xinghan League escorting [-] Jin cavalry prisoners. The original horses of the Jin cavalry were all led away without being ridden. This was to prevent them from further losing weight. , hurt your vitality.

Due to the urgent march before, the road from Ye County to Wujiazhuang was completed in one day. Time was no longer tight on the return journey, and it took two days to march at a normal speed.

After arriving in Ye County, we rested for a day.

On the one hand, Liu Xinqi retained a company of infantry and organized some subdued officials, which allowed the Ye County government office to operate normally.

On the other hand, the original garrison of Ye County was reorganized, and some soldiers who were no longer willing to serve as soldiers, who were older and in poor physical condition were cleared out with some severance pay. The remaining [-] strong and strong soldiers were organized independently to cooperate with the company left by Liu Xinqi. The infantry maintains law and order and stability in Ye County.

After replenishing supplies in Ye County, the team set off again.

"Ahead is Wang'er Mountain." Liu Xinbao introduced to Liu Xinqi, where Liu Xinyuan assassinated Wanyan Jingzhe.

Liu Xinqi looked over and saw that the mountain was not high. If placed in the southwest of Zhao State, it would probably be considered a high mound at most. However, it would be considered a mountain in the East China Plain. The Shandong Peninsula is a hilly terrain, so it could barely be considered a mountain.

"You have to work hard. I will let you lead the Military Intelligence Department. Originally, this kind of war spying, assassination and special operations were all the responsibilities of your Military Intelligence Department. Now instead, Di Ting's letter is far ahead and has made its appearance." Liu Xinqi said.

"I admit this. Xinyuan is indeed better than me in this aspect. Uncle Xu took Xinyuan over because he took a fancy to Xinyuan's talent in this area." Liu Xinbao replied.

In the earliest days, during the Liujiabao migration, Liu Xinyuan and Liu Xinbao were responsible for exploring the path in front of the migration team.At that time, Liu Xinqi was more optimistic about Liu Xinbao, but he didn't expect that it was Liu Xinyuan who performed well now.

"Where is he now?" Liu Xinqi asked.

After Liu Xinyuan united with the people of Phoenix Fort to capture Liu Lin, he borrowed hundreds of servants from the three families of Phoenix Fort the next day and escorted tens of thousands of captives back to Penglai.

Originally, in this era, escorting with such a ratio of personnel was very dangerous, and the prisoners being escorted would definitely wait for an opportunity to rebel.However, after Liu Xinyuan's several consecutive successes, he seemed to be a bit "daring". After Liu Lin, the generals and ordinary soldiers were escorted separately, the escort was relatively smooth.

The main reason is that the ordinary soldiers have no intention of rebelling. Liu Xinyuan has 11 people plus two teams of six from the Military Intelligence Department, a total of 17 soldiers. The force is so high that it makes people desperate. Therefore, faced with this unsolvable gap in force, few people would be foolish.

"The news that came in the morning has already crossed the Yellow River, entered Penglai, and joined the new soldiers brought out of the camp by Master Li Zhen." Liu Xinyuan replied.

It was Liu Xinqi's arrangement for Liu Lizhen to take the new soldiers out of the camp.

Originally, it was not intended to affect the training of these new recruits, but this war came suddenly, and now the manpower is really in short supply.The reason why the recruits were not allowed to go to the battlefield before was to protect them. Now that the war has ended in stages, we simply let them leave the camp in advance to exercise and help them do whatever they can.

In order to minimize the impact on recruit training, the instructors of the recruit camp have also left the camp. Now the recruit camp in Penglai is completely empty.

"Call Sun Li over." Liu Xinqi ordered his guards.

After a while, Sun Li caught up from behind.

"Leader, you call me." "You used to be the head of the military attache in Dengzhou, so you must be familiar with several counties in Dengzhou." Liu Xinqi said.

"Yes, I have stayed in Dengzhou for more than ten years. It can be said that I know Dengzhou well, even Laizhou." Sun Li replied.

"Then I'll give you an important task."

"Please give me your order, and I will do my best to complete it." Sun Li assured.

"The glue defense line was previously assigned to Liu Xin'ang. The army in Penglai currently has no commander. I plan to hand over all the remaining infantry and cavalry to you and let you lead them to clear out Muping and Wendeng in Dengzhou and Laiyang in Laizhou." Liu Xinqi said.

"Thank you, Alliance Leader, for your appreciation. My subordinates will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Sun Li directly gave a military salute to Liu Xinqi.

Since he entered the Xinghan League, he became the battalion commander directly after training in the new barracks.The other infantry and cavalry battalion commanders were promoted through repeated military exploits, but he was the only one who "reached the world in one step".

Although he, Sun Li, had served as an official in the State of Zhao before and was able to convince others with his abilities, in the system of Xinghan League, where capable people emerged in large numbers, he still had some sense of using the "back door" and was usually looked down upon by his subordinates and colleagues. .

No one really showed anything in front of him, but when dealing and chatting with him, he could always feel something.

This time Liu Xinqi gave himself the task of attacking these cities, which was equivalent to giving himself the easy-to-get credit. After these three counties were conquered, he would be justified.

"Work hard. You don't need to go out and attack the city. When you lead people to attack the city, you must use your brains and try to avoid excessive casualties on our side. You must learn to use the soldiers, muskets, artillery and other weapons in your hands to maximize your strengths and avoid weaknesses." Liu Xinqi explained. .

"Subordinates, please listen to your instructions." Sun Li replied.

[He is still a little restrained and has not integrated well into the group. I think it will be better after he has made a meritorious service. 】

Liu Xinqi stopped talking and started chatting about other gossip.

"How are your brother and sister-in-law doing now? Are they still comfortable?"

After coming out of the new barracks, Sun Xin and Gu Huan were handed over to Diting by Liu Xin. Xu Zhong had previously heard that he was arranging for Sun Xin and his wife to reorganize all the hotels and inns controlled by Diting in order to improve the competitiveness of these industries. Continuously deliver supplies to Diting and better protect Diting's intelligence work.

"My brother and I only exchange letters. I have been fighting abroad recently. I don't know much about his current situation. However, he showed off to me in his previous letters that after he learned the cooking method invented by the alliance leader, the business of restaurants opened in various states and counties was very good. Moreover, our Xinghan League has a large supply of whale oil and fish meat, making our restaurant very popular with local diners," Sun Li replied.

Originally, Liu Xinqi did not agree with the spread of stir-fried vegetables. It was too eye-catching, and anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that it was an industry of the Xinghan League. However, after Xu Zhong's persuasion, he finally agreed.

In this era, there was little movement of people. Local business people were almost transparent in front of local officials. They all knew everything about them. When outsiders started a restaurant, it was impossible to cover it up and let them monitor it. .

These restaurants are in the open, and there are intelligence points in the dark. The restaurants attract the attention of all parties, and the hidden lines are covert actions. The combination of light and cover makes it more convenient and more concealed.
