"Xiao Linshi, Han Lun?"

Listening to Liu Qiong'er's names, Xu Wuli, and Xu Wukun looked at her in unison.

"Why, have you heard of Han Lun?" Xu Huai asked.

Xu Huai was not familiar with the particularly detailed situation in the Khitan country before. He mainly learned some basic situations of the Khitan country from Wang Bing and Lu Xiong. However, he also knew that Xiao Linshi, a son of the Khitan royal family, served as the defense envoy of Xijing Road in the Khitan country and the state affairs of the Southern Prime Minister's Office. He was dismissed two years ago because of his disagreement with the Khitan king Xiao Yichun.

However, Wang Bing was demoted to the court for nearly two years, and he knew very little about the situation in the Khitan government and opposition in the past two years, and they did not know where Xiao Linshi went after being deposed.

In fact, the intelligence spy on Khitan, Dangxiang and other enemy countries was very crude, and the center did not have a special agency to be responsible for it. The border troops were mainly responsible for spying on the enemy situation opposite the defense zone.

In addition to recruiting Khitans from the border, and the Dangxiang people had similar appearances to sneak into the enemy's border for reconnaissance, another main method for the border troops to collect enemy situations was to buy merchants and bribes.

It is normal for the information obtained in this way to make mistakes and omissions.

Xu Huai had never even heard of the name Han Lun before, but he didn't expect Xu Wuli, Xu Wukun and others to know this person.

"Eighteen years ago, Lanzhou border provoked, Jingsheng's army rushed to help. At that time, Xiao Linshi was just in his early twenties and was appointed as the assassinator of Fengzhou because of hereditary inheritance. After we arrived in Lanzhou, we went north along the Huihe River and successfully conquered Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Datong and other places. The entire Xijing Road was left with the last important town of Fengzhou, which was called a big city, but we thought that a second-generation ancestor like Xiao Linshi had only three or five thousand troops available in his hands. It was easy to capture Fengzhou, but he fell into a big flaw in Xiao Linshi. A soldier was ambushed when he attacked Fengzhou, and the soldiers were damaged.

Nearly two thousand generals had to be defeated and retreated back to Datong. Han Lun was a commander of the Han army under Xiao Linshi at that time, and he injured the generals of our Jingsheng Army the most. Unfortunately, we were in Datong at that time and had no chance to participate in the battle in Fengzhou," said Xu Wuli. "And when the main forces of the Jingsheng Army gathered together and set off again in Fengzhou, the dog thieves in the court did not know what medicine they had taken, and they were thinking about peacekeeping, and even the recovered territory had to be given up. Otherwise, Yunyan and other places would have long become the territory of Dayue, so why would they delay until today to mobilize troops to seize it?"

When talking about the old story, Xu Wuli and Xu Wukun's resentment was still extremely strong.

Liu Qiong'er brought the relevant files over, and Xu Huai sat over. While listening to Xu Wuli and Xu Wukun recalled the past, he used the candlelight to read the files.

The information about Xiao Linshi and Hanlun is very limited in the part of the enemy situation files currently compiled by the Hedong General Administration Commission and sent to the Military Supervision Institute.

After Cai Ying seized Jingsheng's military power and retreated south, Dayue and the Khitans resumed peace talks, and Xiao Linshi was appointed as the deputy commander of Xijing Road defense and the defensive commander; Han Lun was the main general of the Han army in Xijing Road.

However, both sides remained restrained at the border after that and did not cause any more border aggression. The information about Xiao Linshi presided over Xijing Road's defense was very limited.

Of course, the Tianxiong Army and the Hedong Strategic Institution were obviously more restrained. For more than ten years, even regular enemy reconnaissance was rarely carried out. However, the file included portraits of Xiao Linshi, Han Lun and other Xijing Dao generals and officials more than ten years ago. Looking at the outline of Han Lun's face in the portrait, he had several similarities with Chen Zixiao.

The file also records that Han Lun followed Xiao Linshi from Xijing Road to Khitan Shangjing four years ago, and soon he was imprisoned for offending Khitan Qi Gui. Xiao Linshi was deposed as a magistrate of the Southern Prefecture two years ago, but the whereabouts of the two were not mentioned in these files. If Jing Shengjun had not had dealt with Xiao Linshi back then, Xu Huai would not have imagined what kind of person Xiao Linshi and Han Lun were from these simple records.

Is this too simple?

This made them unable to imagine any practical help if Chen Zixiao was convicted and imprisoned.

Chen Zixiao was convicted and imprisoned four years ago. It can be speculated that it was possible that Xiao Linshi had already realized that Dayue and the Chihu people had the intention of joining forces to attack Yan at that time, so he secretly rescued Chen Zixiao from prison and sent him to Dayue to spy on intelligence and search for opportunities in Dayue to start up civil strife as a restraint.

The problem is that Xiao Linshi was also dismissed two years later. At this time, the Khitan generals and officials in charge of Xijing Dao were neither Xiao Linshi himself nor could they see any relationship with Xiao Linshi.

Xu Huai suspected that even if Chen Zixiao could spy on some confidential information in Yuehailou, he might not be valued by the Khitans.

Chen Zixiao was originally a lonely wolf sent by Xiao Linshi, and it is likely that he would be a free man who could never stop and be a dead horse.

Chen Zixiao sneaked into the Great Vietnamese territory for three or four years without news, and Xiao Linshi was dismissed long ago. Why do the Khitans' chief general in Xijing Road believe that Chen Zixiao did not rebel? Why do you believe that Chen Zixiao sent back the information is not a trap to lure them into a trap?

From this point of view, they don’t seem to have to spend such a big price, and they have to take the risk of exposing their strength to keep an eye on Chen Zixiao!

Xu Huai threw the file on the desk, stood in front of the window and looked at the ridge opposite the night.

The deeper he understood, the more he realized that the preparations for such an important war were so crude and hasty.

Xu Huai was about to ask Xu Wukun, Xu Wuji, Su Laochang and Zhou Jing to rest first. At this time, he heard several cavalry rushing into Nanyu Lane. He heard the sound of horse hooves stopping at the entrance of the East Cluster Courtyard where Wang Bing, Wang Fan and others lived. The sound of people coming forward knocking on the door of the courtyard came over, which seemed quite urgent.

In the afternoon, five hundred prisoners were transferred to Kelan City and entered the barracks. Xu Huai and Xu Xin'an and Tang Pan were purging the prisoners in the barracks. They did not lead the army and wait for the order. They did not call them in normal times, and they did not have to go to the official hall to guard the official hall; on weekdays, they only needed to arrange small teams of soldiers on duty.

However, Xu Wukun was also the military officer and rushed over from the official hall at night. Xu Huai learned that Pan Chenghu, Yuan Huidao, and Xu Zhong had already arranged to stay in the official hall to stay. However, Wang Fan, Zhu Han and others returned to Nanyu Lane before nightfall. At this time, it was almost midnight and they must have fallen asleep.

What will happen at this time?

The portal here is also next to Nanyu Lane. Zhou Jing was quick to do something, ran out and looked at it, turned around and said, "It was Xu Zhong who brought the two of them here, I don't know what happened."

Xu Zhong, Pan Chenghu and Yuan Huidao were on duty in the Military Supervisor's Office tonight. At this time, he brought people to report the news. Naturally, something urgent happened was related to the Military Supervisor's Office.

Even to express concern, they had to run over and ask.

…………

…………

"A few military officers from Tianxiong Army ran to Nuanxianglou in Yinshan Lane for a banquet, but somehow got drunk and had an argument with the store owner. They were coaxed and driven out. Maybe they suffered some losses. Someone was beaten and injured, but they were unwilling to do so. At this moment, they pulled out a large number of people and wanted to demolish Nuanxianglou."

Xu Huai, Su Laochang, Xu Wukun, and Xu Wudi rushed to the East Cluster Courtyard. Seeing that Wang Fan had not stopped at this time, he was standing in the yard with Zhu Han, Zheng Shou and others and listening to Xu Zhong report the movements in the city.

"The county magistrate was alarmed, but they did not dare to go and suppress it. They sent someone to inform the military supervisor!"

Kelan is the capital of the prefecture, but the arrest and ban in the city are still under the responsibility of the Weishi of Kelan County.

However, the matter involved the ban army temporarily stationed in Kelan City. The county magistrate directly reported to the military supervisor to send people to the court to suppress the incident, which was in accordance with the rules.

Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong brothers had already fallen asleep. At this time, they rushed over after hearing the news. After hearing the reason, they did not wait for Wang Fan, and Zhu Feng ordered his generals to help them get the soldiers.

"I really have the courage to take the leopards. These arrogant generals have been in Guilan City with Ge Boyi for a long time. At this time, they dare to cause trouble and not to squash their temper. Wouldn't it be a decoration for our military supervisor to entrust the courtyard?" Zhu Zhi stepped forward and asked Wang Fan for an order, "Please allow my brothers to lead a team of elite soldiers to go to Nuanxiang Tower to suppress these troublemakers to clean up military discipline!"

Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong brothers were taught a lesson by Xu Huai because Wang Bing did not dare to say anything, but they were used to being a wise man, so how could they take the rough and arrogant generals of the imperial guards seriously?

This time they went north with their father Zhu Han, and they couldn't wait to do something so that they could rebel when they returned to Bianjing.

As soon as the Military Supervisor's Inspectorate was officially established, he met Sheng Zhang Kai. How could they be content with others?

Wang Fan frowned slightly. The military supervisor had just officially opened, and he and Zhu Wei could not go out casually, but Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong brothers did not ask him to rest assured, and he could not pretend to be blind and dare not to act blind in the imperial guards' city.

If he pretends to be blind or sends someone to report to Ge Boyi for the treatment, wouldn’t he be a military supervisor be purely a decoration?

"I will take someone with Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong went over to take a look. The situation was not serious and it might not be necessary to alarm the hospital!" Zheng Shou saw Wang Fan's hesitation and went forward and said.

"You two will accompany you." Su Laochang and Zhou Jing were not in the Military Supervisor's Office. Of course, this matter has nothing to do with them tonight. Wang Fan and Xu Huai and Xu Wukun said.

Xu Wukun was an official in the official hall, and Xu Huai was also a general of the military commander. Since he had caught up, he was responsible for accompanying him. However, Xu Wuli was a naive face, and Wang Fan didn't know what his relationship with Xu Huai and others, so of course he would not send any means at will.

Xu Huai and Xu Wukun rushed back to wear armor immediately. Wang Fan did not instruct Su Laochang, Zhou Jing and the others to do things, but Xu Huai asked them to go and inquire about Nuanxianglou immediately.

As the prefecture of Lanzhou, Gulan is the key to Taiyuan from Ningwu, Langu, Prefecture, Linzhou and other places. There are many garrisons, and there are dozens of prostitutes of all sizes, and there are also backgrounds of various prostitutes.

Liu Qiong'er, Su Laochang, Xu Wukun and others have roughly touched the three and nine-story forces in Kelan City. Nuanxiang Tower is not a big hall in Kelan City, and the thighs they hugged should not be thick.

The source of recruitment of the imperial guards was complicated, and generals and schools could not set an example. Disorganized military discipline was a stubborn disease that plagued Dayue. At the beginning of the northern expedition to Yan, tens of thousands of imperial guards had to gather in Lanzhou. In Xu Huai's opinion, disturbing the people was inevitable.

I believe that merchants of all sizes in Kelan City should also be mentally prepared.

Nuanxianglou, a small prostitute village that is not very eye-catching, dares to injure the imperial guards and military officials when disturbed. Xu Huai is worried about whether there is any hidden truth behind it.
