Luo Feiyu was stunned and asked, "What's going on? This Chen Family Feng has already defected to Shen Luoyan?"
"That's right!" Ren Meimei nodded and replied, "Before I left, Qifei tried hard to persuade me to find out the situation in Liang County and make plans. Chen Jiafeng urged me to rush to Liang County immediately to preside over the overall situation. Chen Luoyan also revealed this point. This Chen Jiafeng has indeed defected to Chen Luoyan."
Although this news is not a big deal for Luo Feiyu, it is of great benefit to his stability of Peng Lianghui's subordinates from Ren Meimei, especially in front of so many people.
Ren Meimei's intention to leave was decided, and Luo Feiyu would not force her to stay in Pengcheng. Everyone entered the city, and Ren Meimei dispersed her followers. Luo Feiyu handed them over to Luo Qifei for settlement without worrying.
After staying for a night, the next morning, Ren Meimei packed up her belongings, took a boat to leave Pengcheng.
Luo Feiyu couldn't leave at this time, and he was waiting for the arrival of Qin Shubao's army.
On the third day, two large armies of water arrived at Pengcheng in a mighty manner. Luo Feiyu personally went out of the city to greet him. He saw a team of elite riding horses galloping and stopped dozens of steps ahead of Luo Feiyu. The leader Qin Shubao was covered in all his body, turned over and dismounted, and strode to Luo Feiyu's horse, and solemnly said, "I have met the general manager!"
Luo Feiyu laughed loudly, stepped forward and pulled him up, and said, "If you arrived two days earlier, you might be able to catch the woman Chen Luoyan."
"Don't worry, Chief Manager, Qin will catch the woman Chen Luoyan one day!" Qin Shubao said confidently.
Even as the leading general, Qin Shubao was still angry when talking about Chen Luoyan. Luo Feiyu patted his shoulder and said, "No hurry. If Li Mi wants to defend Liangjun, he may only let Chen Luoyan stay here. You have a chance. Come on, I will introduce you to several generals in Pengcheng, and they will help you guard Pengcheng."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shubao approached Luo Feiyu's ear and whispered: "The leader of the Yun Gang is on the boat. She must take charge of the overall situation in Xia Pi, so it is difficult to show up in public."
Luo Feiyu raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you say it earlier! Well, now I have to ask her to wait first. I'll hand Pengcheng to you, so I can follow the boat south."
Qin Shubao understood and reached out to call the follower guards who followed the horse, came forward, and gave an order, and the follower immediately ran away.
When he returned to the prefect's mansion, he met the main figures of Pengcheng. The ones who stayed were Luo Feiyu, Qin Shubao, Chen Yu, and Luo Qifei. Looking at the pictures and pictures spread on the table, Qin Shubao said with some concern: "The power of the general manager has expanded too quickly, and there are not enough people."
Chen Yu and Luo Qifei were both looking at Qin Shubao, a little puzzled. Luo Feiyu nodded and said, "Li Jing was in charge of Jiangdu, Zuo Xiaoyou was in Danyang, and Bai Qi was in charge of Jinling, and they were all defending heavily. Pengcheng and Xia Pi were the main attack direction. Xia Pi could only be asked to be the leader of the Yun Gang for the time being. Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Qin Shubao looked up and hesitated, looking a little difficult to say. Luo Feiyu said, "What's wrong with this? Don't use it, and don't doubt people. If you think there is no problem, I dare to use it, what are you afraid of."
"Yes," Qin Shubao replied, "the subordinates led their troops to Pengcheng. The one who stayed in Xiapi City was his friend, whose surname was Cheng, his name was Yaojin, and his courtesy name was Zhijie. He was a good player in leading troops to fight, but he was vulgar and generous in character."
Luo Feiyu smiled and said, "What a vulgarity? Isn't it just that I love to visit the kilns? I have to say so kindly. If you are good at it, I will leave the military affairs of Xia Pi to him. The leader of the Yun Gang lives in Suyu and is in Jiangbei and south of Jiangnan. He mainly collects intelligence and does not interfere in your and Cheng Yaojin's military affairs."
Qin Shubao was happy and bowed, saying, "Thank you, the general manager, for being respectful. Zhijie is a rude man who loves to visit the kilns. He said he was vulgar and did not insult him."
The three of them burst into laughter. Luo Feiyu pointed at the picture and said, "Xia Pi and Pengcheng are all attacked from all sides. The request I give you is just a word, prepare for the troops and wait for the opportunity! There is no need to take the initiative in the short term, but if someone dares to attack, they must hit their eggs hard!"
Qin Shubao's eyes lit up and he agreed repeatedly.
Luo Feiyu rubbed his hands and continued, "What everyone is competing now is to see who can calm down. Those who cannot calm down will die the fastest. The real situation will change suddenly, and my goal is Dongdu! As for now, I have to return to Jiangdu. If the work can go smoothly, the Jianghuai Army will take the initiative to advance westward, so that we can free up more troops to go north."
"Entering west? Jingling?" Qin Shubao's eyes shrank, and he stared at Jingling in the northwest of Liyang, exclaiming in surprise.
Luo Feiyu nodded and said, "It's Jingling! The Jianghuai Army and the Iron Cavalry Association have joined forces to open up Jingling and Xiangyang, the northbound passage. I am going to add fire to Uncle Du and let him move west with confidence."
Qin Shubao stared at Yu Tu for a long time before looking up and said, "If the threat of the Jianghuai Army can be removed, Li Zitong, Donghai County, in the east, can be solved first to eliminate future troubles. If he can solve the Huaibei counties before this, he will be sure to win."
The first counties in Huaibei are Qiao County. Qiao County is adjacent to Liang County and Pengcheng, and has a section that controls Tongji Canal. For Li Mi and Luo Feiyu, they are both strategic places that must be won.
After Yu Wen and the murder of the foolish monarch Yang Guang, the Sui Dynasty declared that it was in name only. The counties in Huaibei, Ruyin County, Huaiyang County, Runan County, Huai'an County, and even Yingchuan County and Xiangcheng County were all headed by local forces and generals of the garrison. These people did not have the ambition and strength to expand and fight for dominance of the world, but they could hold their own troops at this time, watch coldly, and wait for the price.
When the situation is unclear, these people will not place bets rashly.
When Luo Feiyu said this, Qin Shubao could certainly understand it. However, as an old general of the Sui Dynasty, he had some friendship with these soldiers and generals near the prefectures and counties, so he would keep dating these people, which was a very suitable candidate.
After discussing many details, Luo Feiyu left the city overnight, arrived at the dock, and quietly boarded one of the big ships.
No one saw each other and did not bring his followers, no one knew his itinerary except for a few limited confidants.
Luo Feiyu pushed open the door and went in on the uppermost cabin, and just met Yun Yuzhen and turned to look over.
Yun Yuzhen smiled, but her face was filled with a little sadness. When Luo Feiyu closed the cabin door, Yun Yuzhen whispered: "Master, you are finally back! Something happened to Jiangdu."
"What happened?" Luo Feiyu was shocked and frowned.
Yun Yuzhen whispered: "Yes. I also received the urgent report yesterday. General Li was assassinated and seriously injured. Just to stabilize the situation, only a few people know this news."
Luo Feiyu's face darkened and he said, "Drive the boat immediately and return to Jiangdu at full speed. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it on the way!"
