"Let him hurry up." Gu Xun smacked his lips and replied with a slightly serious tone, "We may need assistance from the Yuezhi Kingdom at any time."
"It is unrealistic to eliminate the wolves... in a short time. What we need is to ensure that they cannot cause trouble at the critical moment."
"It's easier to do bad things than to do good things."
Han Fei nodded, "I understand."
Gu Xun then turned to ask about Liusha's business, "How is the progress?"
"Well..." Han Fei pondered for a moment and then replied, "How should I put it... step by step, steady and steady."
"Ha!" Gu Xun was amused by this answer, "The progress is slow, the progress is slow, and the lyrics are pretty good."
"It's not that it's slow." Han Fei explained, "It's almost as expected, it's just not fast enough."
"With your ability, can't you speed it up?" Gu Xun asked rhetorically.
Zhang Liang spread his hands helplessly, "We don't have enough manpower!"
"People in quicksand say there are too many, and they say there are too few, but there are not enough that can be used."
"There's no rush."
"I'm not in a hurry." Gu Xun shrugged, "The progress is about as expected, and the time should be enough."
"Anyway...I'm sorry to trouble you."
Han Fei raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He just raised his glass to signal to Gu Xun and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Xun followed suit and drank the wine in one gulp, leaving behind the glass and a sentence before disappearing:
"Contact me anytime if you have any questions."
Looking at the empty room, Han Fei pursed his lips and laughed, shook his head, and poured himself another drink.
………………
Empire, Xue County, outside Zou County, at the foot of Mount Yi.
Yishan Mountain, to be precise, is the Yishan Mountain System. It is not an isolated peak, but a group of ten or twenty peaks, large and small, headed by the main peak, Yishan Mountain.
As the main peak, Mount Yi has the highest altitude, about two hundred feet.
This number does not seem very high, but the highest altitude of the main peak of Mount Tai is only 500 feet, and Mount Yi is not small in comparison.
The large and small peaks in the entire Xue County, or the peaks in the old Lu Kingdom are generally famous, and Yishan is no exception.
If we trace the reason back, it goes back to the ancestor of Confucianism, Master Kong.
Mencius once said: Confucius climbed to Mount Dong and made Lu small; by climbing Mount Tai, he made the world small.
In fact, the mountains Confucius climbed in Jiulu were far more than just Dongshan and Taishan. Yishan Mountain was also one of them, and it was a more famous one among them.
There are also doubts about which mountain "Dongshan" refers to.
Most people think that the Dongshan Mountain mentioned by Mencius refers to Mengshan Mountain, the second highest peak in the State of Lu, located southeast of Mount Tai.
But there are also a few people who think that Dongshan refers to Yishan - so Yishan is quite famous, and that's why it was chosen by Yingzheng.
Of course, no matter how famous the mountain is, only a few people in this era have the leisure to climb mountains and have fun.
So Yishan is very quiet on weekdays.
However, with the arrival of the Eastern Patrol Team, all tranquility ceased to exist. The mountain that Confucius climbed in the past ushered in unprecedented excitement.
Those who came to the foot of Mount Yi were not only members of the Eastern Patrol Team and local officials in Zouxian County, but also a large number of Confucian scholars from the Qilu area.
Before Ying Zheng came to Mount Yi, he announced it to the world and invited Confucian scholars from Qi and Lu to gather together to discuss the important matter of conferring Zen status on Mount Tai.
Before this matter was officially notified, the Confucian scholars in Qilu were already ready to take action.
Now that they had clear instructions, they came in even greater numbers, even earlier than Ying Zheng.
Of course, in addition to people from the empire and Confucian scholars, there are also many interested people from other forces who have gathered in this vibrant land.
In a word, it was very lively.
………………
On the outskirts of the Yishan Mountain System, a large number of imperial soldiers are building a defense line.
If the farmers were watching here, they would definitely find that these soldiers are very familiar to them - these are armor-piercing soldiers who have experienced many battles.
I don’t know what Ying Zheng’s considerations were, but he finally approved Gu Xun’s cunning proposal—Han Xin temporarily led the armor-piercing soldiers to be responsible for the security and defense of the Eastern Patrol Team in Qilu.
That being said, he is not actually responsible for the entire defense process, but is only responsible for the Yishan Ceremony and the Taishan Zen Ceremony.
Moreover, what was mobilized was not the entire army of armor-piercing soldiers, but only the 5,000 strong crossbow infantry from Wang Li's straightforward headquarters.
As for the Wild Wolf and other sub-corps under its jurisdiction, they are still stationed at the border of Dongjun under the leadership of their respective generals.
But this is quite tricky.
At least Wang Li, who is currently in the East Tour Team, is not in a good mood.
Relatively speaking, Han Xin, who is currently responsible for leading the armor-piercing troops of Hundred Battles, is... not too interested.
He stood on a high place with a face as weak as a kidney, looking boredly at the dense protective net that was gradually formed under his arrangement.
After experiencing a barely hearty battle in Daze Mountain, he really had no interest in this kind of security work.
Because he is afraid of death, Han Xin usually likes to play with a favorable wind to ensure that he wins steadily.
But he had to admit that it was really boring to just go downwind, and sometimes he had to increase his intensity.
However, he could only think about it in his heart. For a job like protecting Ying Zheng's safety, he didn't dare to increase his strength casually.
If you are not careful, it is easy to overdo the intensity.
Behind Han Xin, there is another person with a worse face than him - Mei Sanniang.
Because the task of protecting Sister Lianyi has no time limit, Dianqing can never leave, but Mei Sanniang can.
The situation in the farmhouse has stabilized, and there is no need to keep two experts as bodyguards.
So Mei Sanniang, who couldn't bear her temper, left Daze Mountain not long after, and then...
He was caught as a young man.
Han Xin's original deputy and friend Zhong Limei is now traveling around the world with Mei, and he needs a new deputy.
Although everyone including Gu Xun knew that Mei Sanniang was not qualified at all, he still paired Han Xin with Mei Sanniang.
Where are the other candidates now? If you think they are unqualified, I still think they are unqualified!
Let's make do with it.
Han Xin was in a bad mood. It was hard to say that Mei Sanniang, a bitch, didn't bear some responsibility.
"Why should I come here to be Ying Zheng's bodyguard?" Mei Sanniang, who was carrying a sickle, muttered unhappily, her words full of contempt and dissatisfaction with Ying Zheng.
Fortunately, she and Han Xin were the only ones present, otherwise her words would be more or less worthy of a member of the Yi tribe.
Han Xin's cheeks were twitching, and he couldn't help but say, "As a soldier, just follow the orders, talk less and do more!"
"Hey!" Mei Sanniang curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Han Xin, but did not openly refute Shangguan.
Gu Xun strictly ordered her not to confront Han Xin, otherwise she would have to say something in reply.
Of course, Han Xin could see Mei Sanniang's dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction. He was too lazy to pay attention to this woman with a cerebellum problem and ordered:
"You stay here to supervise the soldiers so they are not on guard. You are not allowed to leave your post without permission."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mei Sanniang leaned forward, wanting to stop Han Xin, but in the end she held back, turning her head and staring angrily at the imperial soldiers coming and going below.
