Zhao Hu also smiled. It is really a trick to reuse his identity as an emperor. At least others will not regard himself as an invader.

Nearly a hundred huge sea boats were sailing in this sea area. Although the sailors strictly abide by the post system, everyone couldn't help but relax. There was no way to relax. The sea areas of the two basic provinces of Haibin and Sea Spring are both the sphere of influence of the Third Fleet. Now they are landing on their own. What problems can there be?

As the sailors thought, the Qin family's transport ships set foot on the land of the coastal province without any difficulties, welcomed by the families of the Third Fleet who were temporarily serving as docks.

Since the Third Fleet’s target after surrender was the entire Imperial waters, not only did it not reduce the resident personnel, but it expanded a lot. Because of this, the Qin army was able to land so quickly.

While the officers were busy settling down the soldiers, Zhao Hu was already meeting the secret guards hiding in the coastal province.

These secret guards were sneaked in when Zhao Hu was in office, and as Zhao Hu became stronger in the Southeast Peninsula, more and more were also increasing. Especially after deciding to occupy the Haibin Province, the two leaders Zhou Wen and Sun Jie even placed most of their power in the Haibin Province.

"Master, after a series of melee battles over this period, there are five major warlords, twelve middle warlords, and more than thirty warlords dependent on these large and middle warlords." The Secret Guard said respectfully.

There are more than 40 warlords in one province? Alas, it is as chaotic as the Southeast Peninsula. Zhao Hu shook his head and sighed: "Just like the situation of the five major warlords."

"Yes, the five major warlords in Haibin Province are the commanders of the Haibin Provincial Security Division, which occupy the Haibin Provincial Government, with a force of more than 100,000; the commanders of the Fourth Brigade of the Security Division, which occupy the south of the province, with a force of more than 50,000; the guards of Kaicheng City, which occupy the north of the province, with a force of more than 30,000; the commanders of the First Regiment of the Third Brigade of the Security Division, which occupy the west of the province, with a force of more than 40,000; the patriarch of the Lu family, which occupy the east of the province, with a force of more than 35,000. The detailed road of the secret guards.

Liu Ming, who was lucky enough to attend the meeting, was shocked by the detailed information and was secretly shocked in his heart before he woke up from the elusive secret guards.

It is really amazing that he is a partner of his own. He didn't set up such a strict intelligence network in advance, just these elusive secret guards would be a huge strength. Think about it, if Zhao Hu dislikes anyone, letting these secret guards assassinate it, wouldn't it be easy? It really makes people sweat when they think about it.

Since I am now considered a subordinate of the Qin family, I should serve this, otherwise I would be more reserved as an outsider than that, I would be difficult to explain inside and outside.

So few troops?

Zhou Wen was very confused. In theory, any county in the empire could recruit troops from a division. Why, except for the commander of the security division, the others were amazing at the level of the brigade?

The Sewei explained respectfully: "Sir, when the warlords started fighting, they did recruit as many soldiers as the strong men. However, after the loss of the strong men, almost all agriculture, industry and commerce in various places were paused. In order to maintain their rule and to gain more wealth, the warlords consciously carried out reasonable recruitment.

That is, the troops they have now all have regular troops, and if the situation is not good, they can expand their troops several times at any time."

Zhao Hu frowned slightly, and then said, "Well, let's use the first Lu family to face as an example. Once the Lu family is unable to compete, his military strength will increase several times instantly?"

"Yes, although the Lu family seems to have the least military strength, due to the rise of the family, the officers in the army are all family members, so they are the strongest among the five major warlords. And they are also the strongest ambition among so many warlords. Other warlords have the mentality of making a big profit, but the Lu family has the ambition to change the day." Mi Wei said.

"So, the Lu family is the biggest enemy of this coastal province? So who are the capable people in the Lu family?" Zhao Hu asked.

The Miwei shook his head and said, "Except for the head of the family, who is a good family member, everyone else is mediocre. Although it is mediocre, it is also better than ordinary people. However, the Lu family is also very smart. They use their in-laws and gold, silver, treasures and beautiful semen to win over a group of emperors and officials in charge of the battle for them. Because of this, they can occupy the eastern boundaries of the province."

"Isn't this the Lu family so easy to meet?" Zhao Hu frowned.

Liu Ming, who had been speechless, finally found the opportunity to cough and said, "Sir, since his third fleet is settled here, he also has a certain understanding of the warlords in Haibin Province, especially the Lu family near the base."

Zhao Hu smiled in his heart. Liu Ming was willing to speak. And looking at his claim, he should have thought he was from the Qin family. He looked at Liu Mingtou and said, "Yes, please see."

"I don't dare to be a subordinate."

Liu Ming first thanked Zhao Hu for his request, and then said, "Sir, although the Lu family is the most cohesive among the five major warlords, because it is the family rule, the officers above and below are all family members, so the military discipline will definitely not be as good as the regular army. For example, his nephew or uncle embezzled and bribed the people. This happened. If those officials who have the right to manage the military dared to implement the military law, what would your Lu family think? What would you do?"

The Secret Guards are all close friends among the confidants and can interrupt because of intelligence issues at any time, so he hurriedly said: "The chief of the Navy is that in the territory controlled by the Lu family, except for the Lu family's foundation, other places are surrendered to the Lu family on the surface, but because the people are all in dire straits due to the exploitation of the Lu family's swordsmen, if the Lu family had not controlled the army, they would have rebelled long ago."

Zhou Wen asked in confusion: "What's going on? Isn't their Lu family very ambitious? Since they have ambitions, why can't they even manage military discipline well? People don't know how to collect it?"

Liu Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou Wen is just ambition of the upper class of the Lu family. The lower class people below are just thinking about how to fill their wallets and how to enjoy themselves."

"Oh, so that's the case. It must be that their arrogant and rich mentality has not changed. If you look at it like this, the Lu family will not be of great significance." Zhou Wentou said.

"Don't look at anyone." Zhao Hu waved his hand, thought for a while and said, "Well, according to our current position, our current target can only be the Lu family. However, due to insufficient troops, we cannot fight head-on. We are mainly using other means to attack the Lu family."

Liu Ming couldn't help but suggest, "I thought the most important thing was to increase our local forces. As long as we have enough strength, we don't have to pay attention to any tricks."

"Sir, the Navy Chief's proposal is very good. But his subordinates thought that while transporting troops, they should start to strictly monitor the Lu family with all their might and immediately start to sow internal discord, causing problems between the officers they recruited and the Lu family members, and even increase disputes between the Lu family and the people under their rule, and even create a bloody case to make the two sides more confrontation." Zhou Wen suggested.

Zhao Hu agreed to Zhou Wen's proposal of this sinister plan without any concern. Since he was an enemy, he must do everything he could.

While the secret guards were preparing to go on duty, a secret guard suddenly appeared and saluted: "Master, the Lu family found that our army had suddenly increased in the third fleet's garrison. In order to prevent accidents, we have already started to take action in advance. Now we have mobilized more than 10,000 people to attack us!

Everyone didn't care about the news from the Lu family so quickly. No force would not monitor the surrounding forces, and they did not cover up when they came. They could even make a big fuss and not be discovered. They were really a weird room when they heard that the other party sent only tens of thousands of people, and they all looked strange.

Is the Lu family very confident in the combat effectiveness of its own army, or is it looking down on us at all? I don’t believe that the Lu family will not know how many troops we have landed. Zhou Wen raised his eyebrows and said coldly.

Liu Ming sneered coldly: Hum, I have a corps of the local third fleet's road soldiers. In addition, the adults formed a brigade, they had only sent more than 10,000 people. Hum, they didn't take us seriously at all. I'm afraid they thought that we were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Well, let them see who is the old, weak, sick and disabled. Zhao Hu stood up and said in a very peaceful voice.

Yes! Zhou Wen and others are much more excited than Zhao Hu.

The trumpet sounded, and the soldiers of the Qin family were accustomed to this kind of penetrating sound. He heard the sound and rushed out of the tent with full equipment. He was led by the sword-sword officer and gathered up one level after another. In a short while, a reorganized brigade formation appeared in front of everyone.

The families of the Third Fleet were foolishly looking at the Qin family formation that had been assembled without a trace of sound. Although it was silent and seemed extremely flexible in normal times, now they felt that there were panicked marine troops gathering, and the families were intricate.

At first, when I learned that these people had defected to a colonel who had originally been a local army in the imperial *** area. During the turmoil in the empire, they were extremely reluctant. After all, they were all from good civilian military families, so how could they defect to a bandit? They just worried about the family members who fell into the hands of the other party, so they just agreed.
