It was midnight after Liu Yu left the city and returned to the inn. When he came back, he happened to meet Lu Chu'er shouting at a villager. She was in good spirits when sleeping during the day and taking turns at night, and was as fierce as a female leopard.

"Who?" Liu Yu went up and asked.

"He said that it was the people around him who accidentally broke into the imperial guards. Did he kill him?"

Liu Yu sighed. Lu Chu'er was also looking for trouble, and he insisted on making a big deal if he had nothing to do.

"Go and check if what he said is true. If it is really the people around you, just put a few steps on it."

Liu Yu entered the inn, and there was silence around him, and the lights downstairs were still lit. Although Liu Yu had not come back, Qier and the Han sisters fell asleep early, and only Xu Xuanzhu was still staying up late waiting for him.

"Husband, there is a war report coming from the south." Xu Xuanzhu walked over and said.

"oh."

Liu Yu took it, which was a letter of help from the reinforcements like Huo Bing's death talisman. This was the second letter in a few days. Liu Yu looked at it and rubbed it, and threw it into the brazier.

"Marquis Yong seems to be very urgent in the south, why don't you care about him?" Xu Xuanzhu asked in surprise.

"That boy, it's not a bad thing to let him lose some battles. When he sees people, he thinks he is the king of heaven. If this disease continues, it's probably wild and difficult to tame." Liu Yu poured himself a cup of tea, drank it all, and yawned, "Besides, he ate well in Yuzhou City and slept well. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke the rioters around him, he will have nothing to do."

Xu Xuanzhu smiled bitterly on his face. Although she had been away from the battlefield, she also knew that she was trapped in an isolated city. The food and water source were the most scarce. Moreover, the soldiers were prone to extreme actions in this anxious mood.

"Why don't you worry about the water and food cuts in Yuzhou City?" Xu Xuanzhu asked again.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Madam may not understand the local situation. There are many bandits in the local area and they are very strong. Every household has the habit of staying grain to prevent hunger. There are nearly 10,000 people in Yuzhou City. Huo Bing only brought a few hundred people over, and the people in Yuzhou are not poor."

Xu Xuanzhu nodded relievedly and said, "So that's it."

Xu Xuanzhu went to bring Liu Yu a midnight snack, while Liu Yu was sorting out the silver notes he had just obtained. He made a net profit of more than 200,000 taels of silver during this trip. This is a good deal. If you walk a few cities, you will have military expenses. You don’t have to waste money and you will kill two birds with one stone.

"Where did you get so many silver notes?" Xu Xuanzhu came over and asked, "But it is the local officials in Huaixi?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's okay. Madam, we have made 500,000 taels of silver this time. For the sake of our husband, having 500,000 taels of silver is enough to send a 10,000 troops to fight in southern Xinjiang for half a year. There will be no more."

Xu Xuanzhu sighed: "The forces in Lingnan are complicated, and I'm afraid that 10,000 troops are not enough to solve them. Even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to pacify the south within half a year."

Xu Xuanzhu has been in military service all year round and knows the situation in the south. Although the Turks in the north and the Huainan kings in Huainan were the main concerns, the generals naturally knew the situation in Lingnan. It was a very scattered sand, with a large land and vast population but a small population. Moreover, there were deep boundaries between the nations. After several changes in the local power, it could be said that it was difficult to cut and mess. After the Shun Dynasty pacified the world, there was a single one in the south. In the eyes of several generations of emperors of the Central Plains dynasty, there was no need to fight for the deserted land.

Only Liu Yu had the vision of the times and knew that it was a good place, and that his territory was not a single inch to outsiders. He was eager to conquer the world and make the world surrender.

Liu Yu asked, "The lady thinks, how should we fight this battle?"

Liu Yu asked very urgently, and he seemed to regard the world affairs as a family matter. Xu Xuanzhu couldn't help but look up at Qi'er's room when he heard this. In fact, what Liu Yu said was right. How to fight this battle is already the end of "we".

"I haven't thought about it carefully, but generally speaking, I should not commit murder again."

Liu Yu thought about it and nodded slightly. In fact, what Xu Xuanzhu said was that he would coincide with Liu Yu. Liu Yu's idea was to try to focus on Huairou's urge to help the war, supplemented by military offensives, first shocking the forces in the south with a wave of thunder attack, and then stumble on the battle and talk slowly. Liu Yu also knew that this plan was a bit of a paper talk, and everything should be based on the actual development of the war as a reference.

"I won't say it anymore. I've been tired all day and have a rest early."

Liu Yu yawned, took a few bites of food, and wanted to go upstairs with Xu Xuan to go back to the room to rest. At this time, Cai Yingnu, who had entered the city with Liu Yu, came in to report.

"If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Liu Yu said to Cai Yingnu.

"General, how to place the woman when I brought it back?" Cai Yingnu asked for instructions.

"Woman?" Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu curiously.

Liu Yu had a little angry face and shouted: "The imperial prisoner of the court will deal with it, and there is no need for the care of the guard Cai."

Liu Yu's brows locked up. In fact, Cai Yingnu came in and said this to Xu Xuanzhu. These daughters' guards followed Liu Yuxin to their commander. Although Cai Yingnu didn't know what Liu Yu and Cao Yi did in the room, she realized with a woman's sense of smell that Liu Yu should not simply be a criminal.

Cai Yingnu bowed and left the inn. Only then did Liu Yu build a room with Xu Xuan to rest. Earlier, Liu Yu also asked the accompanying palace maid to prepare bath water. Liu Yu was away and was quite particular about the quality of life, and he didn't want to treat himself badly.

…………

Liu Yu was not in a hurry to rescue Huo Bing, and Huo Bing seemed to have given up his promise at this time. He had been in the city for half a month and had not gone out to get involved with the rioters. Every night, he would chat with the soldiers and chat with the soldiers all over the world. Some people in the city also listened to it. Although Huo Bing was not old, he followed Liu Yu to travel around many places and was a person with a story.

"General, how can we deal with the bandits outside?" A villager couldn't help but ask Huo Bing at a bonfire talker at a mountain meeting one night.

"Let's wait, no one is in a hurry. Why are we in a hurry? If he doesn't come, I won't be over him!"

The villagers immediately discussed and were speculating about who Huo Bing was talking about.

"General, who is the one you are talking about?" the villagers asked again.

Huo Bing cleared his throat and said, "Hasn't you told you that when I was fighting guerrillas in Jiangxi and became the Eighth Route Army, we were the commander, the commander above me. To put it bluntly, we are fools who are running errands, and they are talking. He can just move his mouth, but he just pointed at his fingers and asked us to die. That's OK?"

When the villagers heard Huo Bing talking and talking, they heard it over and over again. After listening for a long time, they understood that "that who" is a character who is more powerful than General Huo. He is even older than General, and that is the general, and there are only a handful of generals in the world.

"When will that person come?" asked the villager.
