Chapter 149 His Good Daughter
After dinner, Lv Songli, Xu Zheng, Yang Wei, Lv Mingzhi, and the two brothers Qin Heng and Qin Zhao gathered in the main hall again.
Qin Sheng was not there. He was very good at reconnaissance. After the showdown just now, at Qin Heng's suggestion, he went to lead Hu Guangcong's team to be responsible for the reconnaissance of Qinglong Village.
At this time, it was completely dark. There were no candles or oil lamps. A pile of fire was lit in the center of the house, and everyone sat around the fire.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. The importance of information is self-evident. After learning about the existence of Qinglong Village, Lv Songli suggested that Hu Guangcong collect information related to Qinglong Village. In addition to the news heard from the villagers of Qingxi Village today, Lv Songli made a summary together.
"Qinglong Village has about 400 people, of which there are more than 200 young and strong. There is usually a village chief and four heads. In addition, there is a confidant next to the head Qiu Hai. These six people manage the huge Qinglong Village."
"Qinglong Village is often besieged, and every time the head suffers a loss, someone will be promoted to replace him. Every time it is besieged, the village chief can always escape. Therefore, there is a rumor about Qinglong Village in this area, the village chief is iron, and the heads are changing."
Yang Wei summarized the news he got today and the previous ones.
Qin Zhao hissed, "More than 200 young and strong, we really can't fight hard."
"This Qiu Hai seems to have some luck." As an official, Xu Zheng has always focused on Qiu Hai, the fish that escaped the net.
Lv Songli's attention is on the inconspicuous confidant next to Qiu Hai. She doesn't believe that Qiu Hai's escape is due to luck every time. Some luck is precisely the manifestation of a well-planned plan.
"Do you think that since Qinglong Village knows that we are staying in Qingxi Village, will they come to surround us overnight?"
"It shouldn't happen. In the past two or three years, they have never failed in robbing houses. There will be heavy snow in the next two days. Under such a premise, they have already determined that we can't escape. Why would they attack in such a difficult and harsh environment?" It can be said that the heavy snow bought them two days.
"But we must also strengthen our vigilance at night."
The most important thing is that they have to come up with a good solution within these two days. Time is still very urgent.
"Everyone can speak out any ideas and brainstorm."
Lu Songli asked Qin Heng who was thinking, "Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"I'm thinking about what you said before, for our purpose, we can unite all the forces that can be united. Since we can't fight against Qinglong Village, can we unite with these victimized villages?" Qin Heng said.
When he was in the north before, he had soldiers at his disposal, and he could wipe out the surrounding mountain strongholds and bandit dens that committed many evil deeds. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where he had very few soldiers at his disposal but had to face a powerful mountain stronghold.
"It's a good idea." Lu Songli was very happy that he could think of this, and she had to affirm this point, "But the villagers in this area are not good, not to mention whether there are spies from the other side among them, we don't have so much time to do mobilization work."
Qin Heng: "Yes, I also thought of this."
Qin Zhao said at this time, "In fact, the best thing is to cooperate with the government." The other side obeys orders and is easier to cooperate. The scattered soldiers composed of villagers are responsible for shouting and boosting momentum, or charging to the back and cleaning up the battlefield.
Yang Wei said, "Yes, yes, yes, it would be great if we could trick the government into sending troops to suppress the bandits, and we can sneak away while they are fighting fiercely."
Lu Mingzhi looked at him strangely, are you so wretched?
Yang Wei looked back at him confidently, "A dead child, a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, understand?"
Everyone agreed with Qin Zhao's opinion, but they had nothing to do with the government in Yanzhou.
Lv Songli looked at the thin information in his hand, frowning slightly. The time was too short, and the information they collected was superficial and incomplete. But it was not without gain.
"Mingzhi, do you still remember Zhang Xian?"
Lv Mingzhi was suddenly named. Hearing his second sister's question, he thought about it seriously and finally remembered where he had heard this name.
"Is it the disciple of Yan Hua that Dad mentioned when he sprayed, no, refuted Yan Hua, the censor, at Hongsheng Restaurant?"
Lv Songli nodded, "It's him!"
Now the area under their feet is under the jurisdiction of Tonghua County, Yanzhou. The current county magistrate of Tonghua County is none other than Zhang Xian.
However, Zhang Xian can only be called Yan Hua's former disciple. After accepting Zhang Xian, Yan Hua, the mentor, forced him to marry his daughter, but Zhang Xian already had a lover at that time. In addition, he was very talented and a little arrogant, so he refused his mentor's request.
Later, Zhang Xian was transferred to the most border and poorest county in Dali to serve as an official. No matter what kind of political achievements Zhang Xian made, he was pressed down by Yan Hua with his power. It can be said that at this point, the two had turned against each other.
As a result, the other party wasted several years in the border county. Until two or three years ago, Zhang Xian made another political achievement, and Yan Hua could not hold him down, so he was transferred to another place to serve as an official, but it was only a horizontal transfer.
What Lu Songli did not expect was that the place where Zhang Xian was transferred was Tonghua County in Yanzhou.
Tonghua County in Yanzhou can also be regarded as the hinterland of Dali. It is easier to achieve political achievements here than in the poor counties on the border.
However, Zhang Xian probably didn't expect that Tonghua County actually harbored Qinglongzhai, a cancer that was difficult to eradicate.
Lü Songli thought that Zhang Xian could try to win him over. Presumably, in his territory, this Qinglong Village was also a headache for him.
Now that the two sides are working together, if there is a feasible plan, the other party should not refuse to cooperate. Moreover, if Qinglong Village can be completely wiped out, it will be a great achievement for him as the county magistrate.
Lü Songli first introduced what she knew about Zhang Xian's resume, and then told her own plan.
Zhang Xian's resume made Yang Wei shake his head, "Tsk tsk, you officials who abuse power are really black-hearted."
Everyone present just pretended not to hear what he said.
Qin Heng: "Write him a letter first and see what his attitude is."
Lü Songli also planned to do so. Although they had never met, Yan Hua was on the list of people buried with Emperor Kang Cheng. Lü Songli inferred that if Zhang Xian knew this news, he would not have a bad impression of their Lu family.
The key is how to send this letter to the other party? Zhang Xian is now the head of a county, and it is not something that ordinary people can meet just by saying so. Moreover, how can ordinary people trust him if they hand over this letter? Lu Songli was a little worried.
"Give it to me after you write it, and I will have someone deliver it to him." Qin Heng said.
Their Qin family has been generals and marquises for so many years, and they are not without some connections. Moreover, among the soldiers who retired from the northern border, too many people returned to the local area to serve as officials.
"Okay, big brother, then I will leave it to you later."
"Sixth brother's wife can't write this letter." Qin Zhao said hurriedly.
"Yes." Lu Songli smiled, "Mingzhi, you come."
Lu Songli knew that such a letter would expose them. Because her identity at this time was just an exile, she would not care about and had no ability to worry about whether they could safely pass Cangshan.
Qin Zhao nodded, "It's okay for brother Mingzhi to write this letter. It's reasonable for him to write it."
So, this letter dictated by Lu Songli and written by Lu Mingzhi was completed in about a quarter of an hour.
After finishing, Lv Mingzhi said nervously, "Second sister, you must write a letter to dad later to explain to him that the promise to Zhang Xian was your idea. I was just writing for him. It has nothing to do with me."
No wonder Lv Mingzhi was nervous, mainly because Lv Songli had painted a pie for the other party without any burden in this letter, and at the same time, it also caused trouble for his father who was far away in Chang'an.
Lv Songli patted his arm, "Don't worry, dad won't blame you." If you don't use your power, it will expire. And as a father, isn't it your job to clean up the mess for your children?
