Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xing behind him. Seeing the latter nodding as confirmation, he turned back to face the so-called codename Thirteen, who was the thirteenth member of his spy group.

He said warmly: "Thank you for your hard work. I will never forget your contribution."

If he had some doubts at first, now they are all solved. I am afraid it was precisely because of Thirteen's advice that he asked Qubei to dig a hole for himself and then jump down. This gave Lu Bu the first chance to catch the thief.

Otherwise, even if this battle can be successful, the final loss will be huge, and the results will never be as satisfactory as now.

"Serving Marquis Wen, even if you die, it means nothing, let alone hard work." Thirteen's face was very masculine, with the aura of a Confucian student. No one would have thought that such a character could be a spy.

Qubei was already dumbfounded by what he saw, but he was not an idiot with zero IQ. On the contrary, he was very smart, and he soon figured it out. This Han adviser whom he had always trusted turned out to be from Lu Bu's side.

, in this case, the suggestion he just made to let Lu Bu in was actually to create an opportunity for Lu Bu to get close to him. He was stupid enough to believe it. Although he reacted in the end, he did not expect that this was all done deliberately by this person.

.

He immediately thought that the Han people were cunning, and this time they were all defeated by inferior people. He didn't have any big complaints, but he didn't expect that the Han people were so cunning. This was a perfect match.

But considering that this Han man has been following him for a long time, if Lu Bu has been planning for today since then, then his vision is too long-term. From this point of view, it is not unjust for him to lose.

However, he didn't know that this was the first time Lu Bu had seen this person. To be honest, Lu Bu himself didn't have an accurate estimate of how many people he had in his spy group. I'm afraid even Jia Xu couldn't tell.

Because with the development of the spy group, except for the first ten "seniors" who were dispersed to various places to preside over the party and then contacted Jia Xu regularly, the rest were mostly the result of their development in various places.

Those ten people are all people who have been brainwashed and confirmed to be loyal, and Jia Xu does not intend to let each of them stay in a fixed place for too long. They will exchange them after a while. And they are not randomly exchanged, which can increase the number of people.

A little confidence, so this codename Thirteen seems to be very high in the ranking, but it was also trained by the top ten elders, and has been operating in secret. Even Ling Xing only recently got in touch with him.

After learning that Marquis Wen was going to have a decisive battle with Qubei, Shisan had been thinking about how he could help Marquis Wen. Unfortunately, Ling Xing kept telling him to calm down after getting in touch. He could only wait for the opportunity.

Although he is a spy, his strategy is not low. He didn't see the decoy effect of the big city fortress at first, but he figured it out when Lu Bu's army appeared, and he also thought of more. He was by Qubei's side.

.Marquis Wen must also know this. Perhaps he kept him just so that he could deal a fatal blow to Qubei at the critical moment.

However, Marquis Wen didn't know that Qubei was very careful and was instinctively wary of the Han people. Even facing his own confidant, it was difficult to get close to him, and it was even harder to break through the protection around him, so under Lu Bu's leadership

When the army invaded the Huns' enemy formation and showed off their power wantonly, the thought immediately appeared in his mind

A good way to deal with Qubei is to let Marquis Wen come over and directly threaten Qubei, so he pretended to persuade Qubei to "invite you into the urn", but in fact he was worried in his heart that Marquis Wen would definitely see through it, and he didn't know if he would be able to do it after he saw through it.

Fortunately, the rest of the script developed as he wanted.

At this time, Lu Bu had figured everything out, but he had no idea of ​​being manipulated. Instead, he patted Shisan on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Okay, very good, you did a very good job. If you have any requests, you can do it now."

Mention, I will try my best to satisfy you, if you don’t do this, I won’t have this opportunity again.”

Thirteen shook his head, thought for a while and said: "Thirteen only asks for a name from Marquis Wen. This is the supreme honor."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, but then he realized what he was doing and had to praise Thirteen's agility. He was a person with a long-term vision. Such talents could be used and put to great use. He made a judgment in his mind.

In the end, Lu Bu gave Thirteen the name Lu Yan and the courtesy name Kede, which could be considered as a way to express some of his hopes for him, and he also directly announced Lu Yan as the prefect of Shuofang.

This Lu Yan is brave and resourceful, and he has stayed in Shuofang County for a long time. There will be no problems with unfamiliarity and adaptation. Being a prefect in the transitional stage is nothing, not to mention Lu Bu is "next door", watching at all times.

What about him?

And for Lu Yan, who is now thirteen, this is a step to the sky. How can he not be grateful to Lu Bu? His original respect for Lu Bu has reached a higher level, and it is almost heartbreaking.

…

Xihe County is located in Lishi County.

Chen Ligang, the acting captain of the county, had just returned from patrolling the western border with Shangjun. From the heavy expression on his face, it could be seen that something had happened, and it was something bad.

Entering Lishi City, which was still under reconstruction but had already restored some of its former prosperity, especially with the increase in population and popularity, Chen Li sighed inexplicably, and then went straight to the Prefect's Mansion.

Jia Xu's Taishou's Mansion is located in the north of Lishi City. It is said to face south and is a geomantic treasure. In fact, this is the original Taishou's Mansion in Lishi City that was renovated and re-occupied by Jia Xu.

Jia Xu has never been picky about these things. He is not that particular. This time he brought Chen Li with him and asked Chen Xi to follow Cao Xing because Lu Bu's talents were really not enough, so he had to train them himself.

The best way to cultivate is to stay with the right people and give them certain opportunities to exercise.

Jia Xu is still very optimistic about Chen Li. Compared with his younger brother, except for his poor martial arts, he can be said to be both civil and military, although in Jia Xu's heart, Lu Bu is the real one.

Of course, while Chen Li was being trained, some of the first batch of "interns" who graduated from Bingzhou Academy were also invited by Jia Xu and were assigned to various places in Xihe County. The biggest advantage of these people is that they are young, energetic, and passionate about having a career.

as.

However, after a period of time, it is destined that some people will stand out, and some people will be defeated by the practical difficulties of the reconstructed Xihe County in advance. In comparison, Chen Li and Jia Xu are more comfortable with it, so in the county capital

Wei Caoxing was taken away by Lu Bu

In the case of Shuofang County, he simply asked Chen Li to serve as the commander-in-chief of Daijun. If he could successfully complete this period and satisfy Jia Xu, Jia Xu would not mind directly suggesting to Lu Bu to straighten him out. As for Cao Xing, Lu Bu valued him so much anyway.

I am worried that I can't find anything to do for him.

When Chen Li met Jia Xu, Jia Xu was looking at a set of farm tools that Ma Jun had left for him before he went to Shuofang with Lu Bu. This was when the Wuyuan area had already begun to flourish in the Hetao area.

Jia Xu plans to build the land based on his experience

Promote it in Xihe County, which can be said to be prosperous. After all, Xihe County is now among the seven counties under Lu Bu, but it is the only one that needs to rely on other counties for support. As the prefect of Xihe, Jia Xu naturally wants to start early

Get out of this situation.

The foundation of Xihe County is actually not bad. After all, the former Hetao area included the southeast of Shuofang, the south of Wuyuan and most of Xihe County. It can even be said that Xihe County is the county with the most development potential in the entire Bingzhou. Let’s put it aside for the time being.

Jia Xu, who had focused on political struggles and military strategies and only regularly processed intelligence information from spy groups collected from various places, was now focusing all his attention on this. He knew very well that once Xihe County truly developed, it would have a negative impact on Lu Bu's power.

Very helpful.

Seeing Chen Li's arrival, Jia Xu showed a smile on his face and said, "Side is here, come and sit..."

Chen Li was not in that mood. His face was gloomy and his tone was very low as he said: "Prefect Li rushed back urgently because of urgent military intelligence."

Jia Xu's eyes darkened. Chen Li was talking about military affairs. At this time, he subconsciously thought of Dong Zhuo in Luoyang in the south. This powerful minister is still considered the most powerful person in the world, but he shouldn't.

At Jia Xu's signal, Chen Li continued: "Early the day before yesterday, I went to Yuyang to patrol the border as usual, but I found that the scouts came to report that there were unusual movements in Baitu County and Qiuci County. It may be something bad.

ah."
