Before the sky turned completely dark, Lu Hanjiang finally received the good news. Bian Guang and Huangfu Linshan led their people to find this place.
After working hard for a while, the two finally got rid of this embarrassing situation. Huangfu Xiaoyuan was taken back home, and Lu Hanjiang also returned to the local health center.
"Still no news from General Qin?" Lu Hanjiang asked about this matter as soon as he came back.
"Brothers are searching along the river, but there is no progress yet..." Bian Guang followed Lu Hanjiang and said as he walked: "There is news from the capital that the Demonic Path seems to be making some moves recently."
"Let's talk about it." Lu Hanjiang walked into the meeting hall. There was no one here, so he found a chair and sat down.
Bian Guang didn't dare to make excuses, so he stood aside and said honestly: "The Huangfu family's publicity has made many people in the devil's path very unhappy. They seem to want to join forces to make a big deal."
"Jiangnan is going to be in chaos," Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Our people should also add fuel to the flames."
Bian Guang said: "My lord, I know that we have already thought about this matter and are making arrangements. There will be more manpower in Jiangnan in the near future."
"Who has been arranged by the higher ups?" According to the usual practice, if manpower was arranged, Lu Hanjiang, who happened to be in the south of the Yangtze River, should have taken over, but this time it was a bit special.
Commander Meng Yuan directly ordered him to return to Beijing, so the errand this time did not fall on him.
"Jiang Xian made inquiries and said that he has settled on Qiao Qianhu," Bian Guang said.
For a thousand households like Lu Hanjiang's, the subordinates are usually in the hundreds, with dozens of banner officers, strong men, and school captains. Jiang Xian's official rank is up to a hundred households. Like Bian Guang, he is also one of the important subordinates he relies on.
Normally, if Lu Hanjiang was away from home, he would choose one of Bian Guang and Jiang Xian to stay in the capital, one to handle some daily affairs on his behalf, and the other to deliver news at any time.
"Qiao Shifang?"
Lu Hanjiang was actually a little surprised that he would choose this person to come to Jiangnan. It didn't mean that his martial arts was not good. Among thousands of households, Qiao Shifang's ability was also one of the best, but that was not the problem.
Thousands of households like them will all have their own headquarters. Counting the size of the family, the total number of people is equivalent to a large Jianghu sect.
Generally speaking, the main force of the Qianhu House is also a manifestation of strength. Under such a premise, it is logical to cultivate one's own power. Almost every Qianhu Branch cherishes the main force as their wings.
Therefore, if it is not an emergency, Jin Yiwei Qianwai will usually only bring two or three close associates with him when he goes out to do things. The remaining manpower is directly recruited from the local health center. In this way, even if there is damage, he will not feel distressed.
However, not everyone does this. There are two exceptions among this year's Qianhu, one of which is Lu Hanjiang himself.
Because to a certain extent, Lu Hanjiang was too lazy to care about these things, so the strategy he pursued was the cruelest elimination system at the end.
He didn't know whether soldiers who didn't want to be generals were good soldiers, but as long as they could survive on the battlefield, they were at least excellent soldiers.
Initially, through the method of strengthening the weak branches, Lu Hanjiang selected Bian Guang and Jiang Xian as his main confidants, responsible for managing all Jin Yiwei under his banner.
Then, there is no more.
Lu Hanjiang only set the main tone of the elimination system, and delegated all the rest to the two people. The combat effectiveness of their subordinates can be guaranteed by the system. As for the other parts, that is their job.
Therefore, Lu Hanjiang's men and horses have always been among the best in the Jinyi Guards, but they are also the second highest-risk subordinates with the highest number of battle casualties. Naturally, if there is a second, there must be a first, and this No. 1 in front of him
One, it’s Qiao Shifang.
It has nothing to do with fellow sufferers. Lu Hanjiang suffered serious manpower losses because he adhered to the law of the jungle, which is the law of the jungle.
But Qiao Shifang is different. Every time this person behaves, it is difficult not to make people think that he is an undercover agent of the Jianghu sect who has infiltrated the imperial court.
As a person who has absolutely no battlefield control ability and almost no command ability, what Qiao Shifang likes to do most is micro-management.
His deployments are often disrupted by meaningless orders, or he spends a lot of energy on some inexplicable goals.
If every time Lu Hanjiang takes someone out, he comes back with at least seventy-seven or eighty-eight, then Qiao Shifang basically loses eight hundred of his own land and replaces it with the other side.
Of course, it cannot be said that there is anything wrong with his tactics. After all, Jinyiwei is stronger than Jianghu sects because they have more soldiers and generals. Having more people is their advantage.
However, when the human sea tactic was used to this extent, one can imagine how useless Qiao Shifang was.
Being in Nanzhen Fusi, there were only a handful of times when Qiao Shifang led his men to fight with others, but every time, no matter what level the enemy was, he achieved the same result.
The reason why he has been able to stay in the position of Qianhu for so many years is not only because of his strong martial arts skills, but also because of his toughness behind the scenes.
Not to mention that his own family was also from a wealthy family, even if he and the fourth prince were so good that they could wear a pair of trousers, it was hard to lose face, so I had no choice but to leave him in the capital and have fun with him as he pleased.
"Sir, something is fishy."
Not to mention Lu Hanjiang, even Bian Guang could tell that something was wrong with this arrangement. Everyone in the Jinyi Guards knew how many tricks Qiao Shifang had. He was a good player when fighting alone. As for other things, just say a word about him.
It may seem mean to humiliate oneself, but after all, he is not a good candidate.
There must be something wrong here. This is nonsense. Lu Hanjiang simply put this matter aside and went back to Beijing. No matter how he guessed, it would be worse than going back and asking the truth.
It was getting late, and Lu Hanjiang had no intention of staying up late. After a day of hard work, he went to bed early.
The next day, Jin Yiwei did not find Qin Yu, but he came back on his own.
He knew the seriousness, and as soon as he came back, he took the initiative to stand in front of Lu Hanjiang and honestly admitted his mistake: "My subordinate acted without authorization and broke the arrangements of the adults. I am willing to be punished."
There are rewards for merit and punishment for crimes. Since they are all matters that must be followed, Lu Hanjiang naturally waved his hand and passed it on to others: "Bian Guang, you can handle it."
"My subordinates take orders." Bian Guang took Qin Yu away directly. As for how to deal with it, Lu Hanjiang would not interfere.
Before leaving Jiangnan, Lu Hanjiang still had to make some arrangements and hand over some necessary things. After all these were done, he had to meet someone.
Huangfu Xiaoyuan.
This girl didn't break her promise, or maybe she had already made such a plan.
The two met openly at a restaurant. Huangfu Xiaoyuan ordered a table of wine and food, but he didn't move quickly. After Lu Hanjiang tried the silver needle seriously, he started to feast.
After having enough wine and food, she finally heard her say——
