In the early morning, as soon as Jiang Shu sat down at the official office, he received the news that Crouching Dragon Pavilion had sent someone to deliver him urgently.

——Murong Feng had indeed fled to the territory of Duan's Xianbei, and perhaps the rumors of Murong Liao's disappearance at sea aggravated Murong Feng's urgency to fight for the throne. Duanbu has been preparing to send troops to attack Datong City in the past few days.

After reading the secret letter, Jiang Shu frowned slightly, then opened the game map to analyze the situation.

Xianbei of the Duan family now established their capital in Jishui City, Pang County, Dongzhou. If they attacked Murong, they would send troops from Pang County to Datong City. Half a month of marching would be more than enough. It will delay the war for too long.

That is to say, if Duanbu moves fast enough, maybe in early November, war will break out in Datong City.

Xie Yin must be rescued before that.

Jiang Shu thought to himself.

He turned his gaze to the middle of Qingzhou, ignoring other factors. Judging from the straight-line distance, Bu Jingyun's army is actually the closest to Datong City, but Bu Jingyun is currently attacking Dingshan County, and this army has attracted too much attention , If something is wrong, it will be transmitted to the enemy's ears, and it is difficult to mobilize manpower.

And if you don't want to alert foreign enemies, it is feasible to send Flying Eagles to directly commit suicide and rebirth in Datong City, but first, Jiang Shu is worried that the temporary deployment of player troops will affect Bu Jingyun's ongoing siege plan, and second, thousands of people Suicide together, the movement is really too big, if the aborigines accidentally see it, the Flying Eagles will really be labeled as a cult organization with strange actions.

Therefore, this is also a bad idea.

After weighing and thinking, Jiang Shu searched the nearest route from Xing County to Datong City on the map, and felt that instead of finding a way to transfer the team from Bu Jingyun, it would be better for him to lead a light cavalry to go north and enter Qingzhou from the edge of Laitu County At the north end, go directly to Datong City through Yiling County.

Along this route, if you gallop all the way on horseback, you can reach it in half a month without any hindrance.

The only difficulty was that Yiling County was in the hands of Murong Xianbei, so it was basically impossible to pass through the enemy's territory silently.

Why not just knock down Yiling County?

It is okay to have plenty of time, but now the time is tight, and he may miss the best time to pick up Xie Yin a day later, he dare not take this risk.

"Is it still necessary to use the Flying Eagles..."

Jiang Shu sighed, concentrating on the map.

His eyes wandered between Yiling County and Xing County, thinking about Murong Xianbei's plight at this time, and suddenly a relatively simple plan was formed in his mind.

It's just that it is difficult to find the right person to implement this strategy, and whether it can be successful depends entirely on personal ability.

Jiang Shu frowned slightly, closed the map, and was about to ask Ziming to invite Zhang Zifang to come over and ask for his advice, when the guard at the gate came in to announce that there was a man surnamed Lu outside the government office, who called himself Southwest Wangqianji He joined the army and came to see the envoy.

"The man surnamed Lu...Lu Qing?"

Jiang Shu immediately remembered the introduction of this person in the secret letter of Wolong Pavilion, and recalled the contribution that Lu Canjun had made to the chaotic situation in the Southland.

"Please come in."

"promise."

When he was young, a thin man dressed in blue cloth stepped into the hall. After meeting Jiang Shu's eyes, he smiled calmly, bent down and saluted, "Lu Qing, I greet you, envoy."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, it was rare to hear someone from an aristocratic family introduce himself so briefly, without any official background and only one name.

Generally speaking, such people are either well-known enough that there is no need to make redundant introductions, or they think of themselves so high that they don't bother to pull the honor of their ancestors to embellish themselves.

This Lu Qing is obviously the latter.

He looked at this person carefully, and found that the other person was about thirty years old, fair-skinned, with regular features, a pair of inner eyes and slender eyebrows. A man of action, he is a seemingly contradictory person.

After a while, Jiang Shu said, "Lu Maolan joined the army in the Southwest King's Office?"

Lu Qing bowed his head: "It's right here."

"Why do you come here?" Jiang Shu asked again.

"A good bird chooses a tree to live in." He replied briefly.

"You good bird, I'm afraid you are restless." Jiang Shu said blankly, and then clearly and slowly said in the suspicious eyes cast by the other party: "Since you have already invested in the King of Southwest, why did you betray your trust and make you lose your trust? The emperor is in trouble, the court is in chaos? If you want me to use you, you have to give a reasonable explanation for your previous actions, don’t you?”

Lu Qing suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

However, in the face of Jiang Shu's harsh questioning that clarified everything, he was not displeased at all, on the contrary, he was excited.

Jiang Shu actually knew such secrets, even most people in the court didn't know his details, he was able to collect and inquire about these, which shows that he is definitely not a man of duty.

Before coming to Xunzhou, what Lu Qing was most worried about was that the lord who wanted to vote had nothing to ask for, or was too obedient and law-abiding, then he might have nowhere to display all his skills, so he could only find another lord.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, he can even conclude that the person in front of him is the same as himself, and has already harbored disobedience.

Now that the other party has found out his own details, Lu Qing stopped going around in circles and said bluntly: "Ancient scholars, if the country has the way, they will be loyal to them, and if the country has no way, they will retreat to avoid them. I betrayed the king of the Southwest. There is no other reason, the villain seeks his life, the gentleman seeks the country, and the man seeks the world, that's all."

The phrase "a man seeks the world" directly clarified his intention of coming.

Counting it, apart from Zhang Zifang, it was the first time for Jiang Shu to meet such a bold and purposeful counselor. This man's ambition was clearly written on his face. He just wanted to overthrow the old system and choose another leader and assistant to take the throne.

It has to be said that facing such a person, Jiang Shu felt a certain amount of pressure. He stood up and walked down the steps, approached the other person and asked, "In your opinion, am I the Lord of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Jiang Shu asked calmly, "General Xun of Yongzhou, Governor Liu of Yizhou, General Gao of Cangzhou, and Su Mian, the former governor of Lingzhou who made himself king, there are many powerful people in other places, why didn't you choose them? "

"You think I should choose them?"

"No, but I need to know the reason for your refuge." Jiang Shu stared into his eyes and said.

Lu Qing and him looked at each other in silence for a moment, then smiled gently, and expressed his point of view clearly: "There is a saying in my sect that there are five reasons why a sage can accomplish things: some are those who are virtuous, and some are those who are thieves." There are those who are sincere, those who hide, and those who are ordinary. Different situations and different groups of people should be treated differently, so that they can gather all forces for their own use.

"It is true that the governors of each state have their own strengths, but they do not conspire with each other. However, Jiang Shijun used moral influence and kindness in Yongzhou, made friends with sincerity in Yizhou, and deterred military strategy in Qingzhou. With a clean government and benevolent love, the merger of these four states has already made up half of the Central Plains, so I think that the emperor has the style of a sage."

Seeing his confident and eloquent appearance, Jiang Shu suddenly understood why the King of Southwest was deceived by this man, and praised him: "That's right, you deserve to be a strategist who is good at talking and debating."

"The envoy's praise."

"I recognize your ability, but I still need to give you a test." Jiang Shu said immediately.

He knows that most political strategists have the characteristics of following subjective political ideas and making suggestions for others.

Lu Qing is not a character that would appear in his original novel. He doesn't know the other party well enough, and this person has a previous record of betraying the master, so before deciding whether to appoint the other party, he must give a certain test.

Lu Qing said as expected: "Please tell me, my envoy."

"Since you are good at maneuvering, I happen to have a task for you right now." Jiang Shu turned and returned to his original position, "I have a counselor trapped in the capital of the Murong Department, and soon, the Duan Department will send troops To attack Datong City, I want to personally lead my troops to rescue them, but I have to pass through Yiling County on the way."

Lu Qing tilted his head slightly and asked, "Is this counselor Xie Zong?"

"Exactly."

"What does your envoy want me to do?"

"You may not know that Murong is already under the control of the Yuwen Department at this time. The Yuwen Department is deploying troops to Murong Xianbei's territory. Yiling County also has both Yuwen and Murong defending troops." Jiang Shu explained the situation simply, "I want you What we have done is to persuade the Ministry of Yuwen to cooperate with us for a short period of time, then restrain the troops of the Murong Ministry, let the passage be opened, and let our army pass through."

Hearing this, Lu Qing frowned in thought.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jiang Shu asked, "Can't you do it?"

"No, it's not difficult, it can be done in three days, I just have one thing I don't understand." Lu Qing looked up at him and said, "Although Xie Congcong comes from a noble background, he is just a counselor under Shi Jun's command. It is enough for the envoy to send someone to rescue him, why bother to take the risk himself?"

Jiang Shu understands his concerns, probably because he is worried that he is a willful person.

In fact, as far as he is concerned, his own safety is the least of his worries. Not to mention that Zhang Zifang has been making matchlock guns in the weapons workshop, and now he has been equipped with firearms for an eight-man guard. hands, he is hard to get hurt.

Even if he is really unlucky and injured, he can exchange various medicines from the game store to extend his life, not to mention that he has the weapon of summoning players.

As long as he is there, there will be a steady stream of players.

This is why Jiang Shu decided to rescue Xie Yin in person. After all, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield. Datong City is a chaotic place where many forces gather, and Xie Yin is at the center of this chaos. He was really worried about the rescue in the past. He had to go there in person. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he could always use the players to solve them.

But this reason could not be explained to Lu Qing, Jiang Shu could only reply: "Xie Zong is not an ordinary counselor, he is my best friend and one of the biggest contributors to the Battle of Qingzhou."

Hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help guessing, since he was designated as a hero, the capture of Xie Qixian should not be as simple as the rumors said, perhaps the current chaos of the three tribes of Xianbei was driven by him.

If so, it is understandable for Jiang Shu to value him so much.

Also as a counselor, Lu Qing naturally knows how rare it is to have a master who is willing to risk his life for his subordinates, and he also hopes that one day, when he makes contributions, he can be cherished and cherished by the master, so he cupped his hands without hesitation: "I wish Accept this task."
