After wandering around the Bingwu Division, Chen Yue and the other two were led by Huangfu Mu to the territory of the Wentian Division.

Wentiansi's territory is much cleaner and tidier than that of Bingwusi. There are not so many miscellaneous utensils and there are no big men with sleeves rolled up.

There is a hint of rigor and mystery everywhere.

What Chen Yue and others saw the most were children around ten years old, both boys and girls, walking around carrying wooden trays with scrolls placed on them.

These children were all dressed in simple yellow clothes, with slight smiles on their faces. They would bend down slightly when they saw Chen Yue and others appearing, while Huangfu Yanling kept nodding to these children.

When Wentiansi was first built, just like Bingwusi, there was only a row of small wooden houses, and several secret rooms were carved inward along the rocks.

But what appears in the eyes of Chen Yue and others now is a huge attic built on the mountain, with a height of four or five stories.

The dark red wooden citrons, beams, and bricks cling to the blue-gray rocks, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.

Chu Yucheng and Xue Leihan's eyes widened. They didn't expect that Wentiansi in the deep mountains would be transformed into this.

Not to mention them, even Chenyue, who had been to Wentiansi several times before, was a little bit grinning from ear to ear.

"How is it, Your Majesty, has Tiansi changed a lot?" Huangfu Mu said with a smile while stroking his beard.

Not only Chenyue and the other three, Huangfu Mu was also shocked to see Wentiansi like this when he came back from Liaodong.

"What is going on?" Chen Yue asked confused.

"Let Yanling tell the prince." Huangfu Mu smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Of course all this was done by Huangfu Yanling who stayed in Beiliang.

Several people turned their curious eyes to Huangfu Yanling, and Wenwen weakly asked the deputy chief minister of Tiansi how he managed to create such a place.

"Hehe." Huangfu Yanling scratched his head in embarrassment, pointed to the attic and said: "If it rains in the mountains, it will accumulate in the valley, and Wentian Sizhong has a lot of documents, intelligence, and files. If it gets wet, I will be the one to do it."

Huangfu Yanling neglected his duty.

So I asked the Mo family to help me build such a loft, and everyone saw that this five-story loft was just the surface.

The Mo family dug inward along the mountain wall and separated out a large number of secret rooms and secret passages, in which the most important information was hidden, while the attic contained some ordinary information.

Although there are elite soldiers guarding Hubei Mountain and there are guards patrolling the mountain, just in case, I still asked the Mo family to set up a trap outside the secret room to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"That's it." Chen Yue nodded in sudden realization, then asked with a crooked look: "Then who are these children in yellow clothes?"

"Replying to your Majesty, these children are the ones I brought in to sort out the files and pass on the news." Huangfu Yanling said with a smile: "After more than a year of development, the places where Wentiansi trains spies have been scattered everywhere.

No more concentrated training.

And this Hubei Mountain is where all the news and information are gathered. Since they are just running errands and sorting out documents, there is no need to recruit some big men with strong backs. After being trained, these children will become smarter and more careful. The most important thing is that they

Don’t worry about their loyalty.”

"Oh? What does Brother Huangfu mean by this?" Xue Leihan asked in surprise.

"These children are all orphans." Huangfu Yanling's eyes flashed with sadness: "Their parents are gone, and some are even the heirs of the frontier soldiers."

Several people were silent, so that was what happened.

"You did a good job." Chen Yue nodded appreciatively.

Huangfu Yanling's move not only avoided the possible presence of spies, but also solved the livelihood problem of these children. Otherwise, how could these children under ten years old live on the streets?

"Let's go, Your Majesty, please come this way." Huangfu Yanling did not dwell too much on this topic. He turned sideways and led the way.

The group of people first walked around the attic a few times, looking left and right, and finally got to know how this huge Wentiansi operated.

Finally, several people followed Huangfu Yanling around and finally came to a secret room dug into the mountain.

There was no sunlight pouring into the secret room, but many candles had been lit on the surrounding walls, so that the secret room was not too dark.

There is a detailed map hanging on the wall opposite the table, which not only covers the thirty-one territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also includes the territories of Beijin and Yanrong.

There are only five people sitting in this room, Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng, Xue Leihan, Huangfu Mu and his apprentice Huangfu Yanling.

Chen Yue's eyes swept across the faces of several people, and he said with some excitement in his tone: "Everyone, we are here today to talk about how we should take the future! Beiliang and Liaodong are in hand, we need to take the next step

Step cautiously.”

Huangfu Mu was the first to speak: "The overall situation of Yan Rong's destruction of Jin has been decided, and a behemoth will appear in our north. If it weren't for our Beiliang army being exhausted after a year of expedition and unable to start another war, otherwise we should really give Yan Rong some help.

trouble."

Several people nodded. From the overall strategic perspective, it was indeed a helpless move to let the Yan Rong destroy the Jin. Beiliang was unable to fight again without the Yan Rong's 400,000 troops.

Xue Leihan continued: "As for the capital, with the Shangguan family's Fifth Xinrou being promoted to Minister of War, their struggle with the Yuwen family is gradually coming to light.

At present, the Zhao family seems to have a vague intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, and many ministers in the court have begun to waver, and it is impossible to say who will win."

Chen Yue folded his hands and said: "Whichever of these two families can win will cause violent turmoil in the court, and it may be a round of purges."

Huangfu Yanling's eyes narrowed slightly: "When the court is in turmoil, this may be our opportunity."

Several people smiled knowingly at the same time. Some words don't need to be stated openly, everyone will understand the hidden meaning.

Chenyue looked at the position of the Yan Rong on the map and slowly said: "After the Yan Rong destroys the Jin, sooner or later they will send their troops south. Our top priority is to protect the northern border and accumulate strength, and then move towards the interior of the Central Plains."

"After the conquest of Liao, we recruited 80,000 elite Beiliang soldiers. There were also 70,000 to 80,000 frontier troops who had been trained on the battlefield and stayed behind on Beiliang Road. On the Liaodong Road, we recruited more than 100,000 soldiers, half of whom had fought in battles.

Veterans. In total, our Liang army has 300,000 troops." Chu Yucheng detailed his statistics.

Huangfu Mu said softly: "We also own the granary of Northern Xinjiang and hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in Shuozhou, so we have enough food and grass!"

…

In this secret room, which was not bright, everyone discussed for a long time. From the deployment of border defense to the training of soldiers, everyone worked out a rough strategy.

At the end of the discussion, Chen Yue stood up and said loudly: "Since everyone has no objections, then our next task is to train troops, accumulate food, build high walls, and calm the people's hearts!"
