The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 161 Power
When Zhuge Pi showed a dazed look, Liu Wei nodded.

"That's right, there are many robbers in the Xingwang Mansion, and most of them are veterans of the Southern Han Dynasty. Part of the reason why they become robbers is the situation, and the other part is because they are afraid that if they become robbers, they will not be able to support themselves and cannot be forgiven by the court. If we treat those Qinghuang Mountain bandits kindly, it will make other bandits feel a sense of pride, and if we can subdue the enemy without fighting, the Xingwang Mansion will save a lot of blood."

The two talked while walking like this, Zhugepi nodded repeatedly: "My lord is right, but my subordinates didn't think well."

Liu Wei smiled and didn't say anything else.

After returning to the mansion, after Liu Weigang ordered someone to arrange a room for Daniu, mother and son, Princess Ruyi and Qin Yun hurried over. The eyes of the two women were full of concern, and their faces were even paler because of nervousness. with.

"My son-in-law, I heard that you encountered robbers in the outskirts of the city. Are you injured?" Princess Ruyi looked Liu Wei up and down as soon as she came up, for fear that Liu Wei would be injured. She could only stand aside patiently.

Liu Wei was very indifferent: "Don't worry, princess, not only is my son-in-law not injured, but also got a strong general, who is strong enough to carry a tripod!"

Princess Ruyi and Qin Yun didn't care about what Liu Wei said. They didn't finally feel relieved until they were sure that Liu Wei was really not hurt.

"That fierce general, his name is Li Daniu..." Liu Wei wanted to introduce more, but Princess Ruyi interrupted him: "Stop talking about your fierce general, go back to the house and drink some soup first." body."

Saying so, Princess Ruyi pulled Liu Wei up and walked towards the bedroom. Qin Yun hesitated for a while, and finally could only sigh softly, turned around and walked towards her own room. She knew before that Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi were separate. She slept in the same room, and there was no consummation of the house, but on the way from the capital to Xingwang's mansion, she found that Princess Ruyi was very caring and caring for Liu Wei. Feelings are inseparable.

Originally, Liu Wei and Princess Ruyi had different dreams. She felt that she still had a chance, but now it seems that this opportunity has gradually disappeared. For a man like Liu Wei, even if the princess didn’t like him before , you will gradually fall in love with it, right?
Princess Ruyi didn't notice Qin Yun's expression, but Liu Wei noticed it, but couldn't say it.

After the two returned to the bedroom, Xiaoyu brought chicken soup, and heard from Xiaoyu that Princess Ruyi ordered people to boil it slowly for a long time.

Liu Wei took a sip, and the taste was very strong and fragrant.

It was getting late, and the two of them lay on the bed after drinking the chicken soup.

Liu Wei put his hands under his head as a pillow, but did not close his eyes. He thought a lot, thinking of Qin Yun's resentful eyes today, thinking of the situation in Xingwangfu City, and thinking of his own future.

When he was thinking this way, Princess Ruyi suddenly lay on her chest, and the elegant body fragrance came, making people want to smell it.

"What is the son-in-law thinking?"

Princess Ruyi's voice is soft, like a spring breeze in the ears of a Buddha.

Liu Wei smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I'm just worried about the affairs of Xingwangfu City. Judging from the fact that Lei Xiong from Qinghuang Mountain led troops to attack today, their fighting power is not weak, and in this Xingwangfu City, I’m afraid there are quite a few of their spies.”

Princess Ruyi's brow revealed a slight sadness.

"These robbers are really not easy to deal with, why not... why not ask the imperial court to send soldiers to help."

"The imperial court soldiers are not in charge of fighting. They only repair the city walls and dig water canals. It is not suitable to ask them for this matter, and if they are really asked, it may become a reckless fight. In this way, the casualties must be heavy."

Princess Ruyi let out an oh, then moved closer, and wrapped her arms around Liu Wei's waist, as if she would feel insecure otherwise.

"How does the son-in-law know that there are spies of robbers in Prince Xing's mansion?"

"Because those robbers came so suddenly, how did they just know that the official would leave the city? Besides, if they didn't have spies or internal support, then Lei Xiong is unlikely to act alone. His soldiers are the most powerful among the three bandits." At least, he is not so stupid that relying on his own strength alone is like capturing Prince Xing's mansion and killing this son-in-law."

Princess Ruyi said oh again, and then said nothing else. After half a stick of incense, she had already entered a dream.

Liu Wei looked at Princess Ruyi lying on her chest, showing a gratified smile.

It's just that the smile disappeared quickly. What he said to Princess Ruyi just now is the truth, and it is indeed something he has considered. It's just that these things are not difficult for him to solve. Now he feels that it is himself who is difficult to solve. Unable to increase their own strength.

He knew that in the territory of Song Dynasty, there was a group of people who had Shenwufang, and this Shenwufang had been looking for trouble for him. From the events during this period of time, he guessed that Shenwufang might belong to Pan Mei, because Shenwufang came to him The trouble was after he killed Pan Weide.

This power should not be underestimated, if you don't have enough strength to contend with it, you will always be in danger.

And what does he have now?

On the surface, he has quite a lot. He has more than 100 guards from the Xingwang Mansion, and two master guards, Zhan Qing and Wei Ping. Because of the business of the Liu Family Winery, he is not short of money. .

It's just that these things look good, but in fact they can't stand the test. The guards belong to the imperial court, and they may be withdrawn by the imperial court at any time. Maybe when he leaves Xingwang's mansion, they no longer belong to him.

Zhan Qing and Wei Ping are the spies sent by the emperor and King Jin to be by his side. Maybe one day they will be able to join him, but they haven't yet.

In addition, Liu Wei also has Zhuge Pi and today's Li Daniu.

Originally, he thought that Zhugepi was talented enough to be his own military advisor, but after a period of understanding, he felt that Zhugepi was indeed smarter than others, but he didn't have enough vision as a military advisor. The biggest advantage lies in the ability to handle things quickly, and can stabilize the people's logistics. If you want to use a more vivid metaphor, Zhuge Pi is more like Xiao He who caressed the people in the mouth of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He has an indescribable Affinity, just like what he said to Li Daniu in the suburbs today.

As for Li Daniu, he has great strength and undue courage. If he joins the army, he will be able to make great achievements. He is a character like Fan Kuai, but this character may not be really loyal to him.

Li Daniu is a person with no heart, but being heartless does not mean that he will be loyal to others. Now he is just letting him stop starving, but this is not enough to make Li Daniu admire or even be loyal to him.

These are owned by Liu Wei, which look very good, but in fact, if you really analyze it, they are not very powerful.

And what else does Liu Wei need?

First of all, he needs a military adviser, a military adviser who can help him analyze things. Liu Wei thinks he is smart and can see the essence of complicated things, but a person's ability is limited after all. If someone can help him Only by analyzing and coming up with ideas can he ensure that every decision he makes is not wrong.

In addition to a military division, he also needs to establish a dark force, that is to say, he needs to have a secret organization, a secret organization like Shenwufang, so that he can not be afraid of the power of Shenwufang, and has a secret organization In addition, he can also set up a group of people in the secret organization to collect intelligence. He needs all kinds of information, because only when the information is accurate and fast can he be invincible forever.

But whether it is a military division or a secret organization, neither is easy to find or establish. More importantly, he Liu Wei is not very familiar with how to establish a secret organization, and if there is a slight mistake in this matter, it may make him There will never be any redemption, so before he is fully prepared, he will not act easily.

Thinking about it like this, Liu Wei fell asleep.
-
It was dark at night, in a certain courtyard in Xingwangfu City, the lights in a study room were still on.

Qiu Shuang drank a cup of herbal tea lightly, and then said to the spies kneeling beside her, "Go down."

The spies bowed their hands, didn't say much, and immediately bowed and retreated.

After the spies left, Qiushuang looked at Dong Yu next to her and said, "What do you think of today's events?"

"In such a chaotic situation, if I were here, I would definitely find a chance to kill Liu Wei."

Dongyu didn't want to kill Liuwei, but she couldn't make Qiushuang suspicious.

Qiu Shuang smiled slightly: "Today is indeed a very good opportunity, but in my opinion the most important thing is not this, but all along, we have underestimated Liu Wei's strength."

"Underestimated him?"

Qiu Shuang nodded: "From what we know about Liu Wei, he is good at business, he can write poems, lyrics and articles, and his writing is not bad, but we never think he is a good fighter."

Dong Yu frowned slightly: "Didn't that "Heart Technique" make people think that Liu Wei can fight?"

Qiu Shuang shook her head: "The article "Inner Art" is really good, but it feels like talking on paper. After all, it is hard to think that he can fight on paper, but what happened today changed me. Views on Liu Wei."

Dong Yu was silent for a moment, and asked a little puzzled: "But Liu Wei's performance today is not very good, whether it is the formation of troops or something, it is not superb."

Qiu Shuang smiled softly: "No, his deployment is very reasonable, it's just that the people who defend him are too weak, and in this case, he can win with very little sacrifice, which shows that he has general talent. Do you want to form an army to fight?" Qiu Shuang shook her head: "Soldiers who subdue others without fighting are good at being good. On the battlefield, as long as they can win, they are generals."

Having said that, Qiushuang couldn't help but sighed, not sure if it was because of Liu Wei's terrible smell, or because of something else.
