After saying that, Guo Jia looked at Liu Zhaoqing and said, "Mingsir, this kind of general who can rule an entire state by himself must be obtained as soon as possible to ensure safety."

"..."

-

The next day, Liu Zhaoqing woke up from bed and let out a long sigh.

Zhang Jiao, who was standing by, heard this and also showed a puzzled look: "Didn't Qingjun say yesterday: 'Fengxiao is worthy of the name' and 'Wen Ruo knows me, Fengxiao will help me'? Why did he start sighing this morning?"

Liu Zhaoqing came to the bedside, put on his shoes and answered helplessly; "I was surprised that Guo Jia came to see me, and it is certain that Guo Jia is talented, but she really knows what I want. It feels like..."

"Like?"

"…It's like my underwear is exposed."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, Zhang Jiao gave him a glare and her ears turned slightly red.

"This should be the reason for Fengxiao's gift from heaven that Qingjun mentioned, right?" Zhang Jiao then speculated.

"It shouldn't be." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head. "The gift of heaven needs to be used actively to work. I didn't sense any fluctuations in her aura."

Then he put on his clothes while sighing: "This actually shows Feng Xiao's wisdom and strategy even more, but such a top-notch counselor has such a natural disease..."

"Oh, right." Liu Zhaoqing suddenly looked at Zhang Jiao, "Jiao'er, do you think Fengxiao's natural disease can be transformed into a normal natural gift like Hong'er's?"

Zhang Jiao thought about it and shook her head: "I can't be sure. Sister Hong'er's gift from heaven has little effect on her. With the help of the auspicious beast attracted by Qingjun, the stiffness of her hands and feet has also been alleviated."

"The most important thing is that Qingjun is immune to her gift of God and can help her very well."

"But this Miss Fengxiao is different. She tied the star of destiny, the star of Mars." Zhang Jiao paused for a moment and said, "Perhaps I can conceal the secrets of heaven only after I have fully mastered the Taiping Art."

"But... what is certain is that it must be three years later."

Seeing Liu Zhaoqing silent, Zhang Jiao comforted him by saying that there will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. They can all meet real immortals, and maybe they will meet something that can change the godsend for Guo Jia in the future.

Come to think of it, Guo Jia himself knew that the most important thing now was to focus on the present. Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoqing no longer worried about it too much.

After putting on clothes, Liu Zhaoqing asked about Zhang Jiao's situation in the past few days and learned that except Zhou Cang and his daughter who followed Zhao Yun on patrol, Baoer, Bo Cai, Gong Du, Deng Mao and others followed Zhang Jiao to deal with farming and government affairs in the city.

After gently reminding his wife not to overwork herself, Liu Zhaoqing left the bedroom and went outside the city gate again.

After a detailed discussion with Guo Jia yesterday, Liu Zhaoqing decided to slightly change his strategy.

The land near the north of Changping City will not be reclaimed first, but the land near the south will be reclaimed first. This way, it will be easier to find a way to block the wind and sand, and it will also save a lot of manpower to guard against ferocious beasts.

All the patrol team needs to do is take a look at the farmland in the south of the city while on their way.

And farming does not require the help of one's own family, it can be left to the people themselves.

When Guo Jia, led by Zhen Mi, arrived outside the city gate breathing lightly, Liu Zhaoqing was surprised and told him his plan.

After thinking for a moment, Guo Jia nodded in agreement: "This strategy is feasible, but the land suitable for farming in the south of the city will eventually be reclaimed. Our goal must be the north, the north of the Great Wall and all the lost land."

“So, I think we have to solve it from the source.”

source?

Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Is Fengxiao talking about 'wind and sand' and 'ferocious beasts'?"

"That's right." Guo Jia nodded slightly, then turned back to look at Zhen Mi: "Last night I asked Sister Zhen Mi, and she asked Na Youyou, the sandstorms in the northern frontier weren't always this strong, but they started to increase slowly in the past few years. I guess it's the Hu people who did it."

"As for the 'ferocious beast' incident, it should have been caused by the Hu people deliberately driving it away."

So in the final analysis, the source of all this is the alien race. As long as the threat of alien races is resolved, the fog will be cleared and the situation will become clear.

But the two also knew that this was not something that could be done immediately, and it would take at least two months according to the plan, so Guo Jia did not discuss it in detail. Instead, he asked Liu Zhaoqing about something that was not related to Changping City.

"I heard that you handed over the foreigners you captured that day to Liu Yu?"

Liu Zhaoqing nodded, but Guo Jia frowned and looked unnatural.

"What's wrong, Fengxiao?"

"How do you think Liu Yu will deal with them?" Guo Jia asked in return.

"Of course, it will be handed over to the people, and then let the people judge, or let his alien staff interrogate him, maybe they can find out something." Liu Zhaoqing guessed.

"Otherwise, you can't just let him go without doing anything, right?" Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

As he laughed, his expression became stiff, and Guo Jia also looked serious.

Liu Zhaoqing's mouth twitched, and he said, "No way? He can be so lenient."

Guo Jia took a deep breath and exhaled slightly: "Mingsong, you probably don't know too much about Liu Yuzhi."

"Liu Yu is capable of such a thing. The foreign race sent spies deep into the heart of Yangping County. The purpose was certainly not for Changping City, but for Ji City and for him. He certainly didn't think about this."

"It seems to be true..." Liu Zhaoqing also frowned: "He is a man of both martial talent and virtue, that's what I think, but Lord Bo'an is not the same as me."

"One of the five is obviously a noble from the Wuhuan tribe. If Lord Bo'an wants to win over the people again, he might talk to that person and then... release him and use him as a lobbyist."

Just as the two were still talking, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared from a distance.

Liu Zhaoqing had a tense expression at first, ready to ask someone to call Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, but when he looked carefully, he saw that the cavalry were wearing the standard armor of the Youzhou soldiers.

The general with a thick beard and a high nose bridge who was leading the group was Xianyu Fu who had escorted him that day.

These are Liu Yu's generals and soldiers, so they are certainly not here to attack him.

Xian Yu Fu led his team to the front of Changping City. After seeing Liu Zhaoqing, he dismounted from his horse and quickly came to Liu Zhaoqing.

"Marquis Changping, why are you waiting outside? Have you heard the news?" Xianyu Fu's steps and expression were a little anxious.

"News? I just come to the city every morning to check." Liu Zhaoqing asked Xian Yufu and the cavalry behind him, "What happened?"

Xian Yu Fu was silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Guo Jia, who was standing by, immediately said, "Could it be that Lord Bo'an is in trouble?"

Shaking his head, Xian Yu Fu said: "Lord Bo'an is fine, but..."

Halfway through his speech, Xian Yu Fu suddenly paused for a long time, then sighed, lowered his head and continued: "Lord Bo'an's son, Master Liu He, was abducted by foreigners."

Liu Zhaoqing was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself that this was too dramatic. He had just been worrying about something, and it actually happened the next moment.

However, Guo Jia narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, and his heart was moved.

The capture of Liu Yu's son may be a disaster for Liu Yu, but for you...

But it is a godsend opportunity to quickly complete "Her Three Strategies". It doesn't take two months at all. Starting today, you can see the future.

Chapter 171 Everything is ready6.5K

Liu He was abducted by foreigners in Jicheng.

This news made Liu Zhaoqing stand there in silence for a while.

In Xianyu Fu's eyes, his expression was no different from that of an ordinary county official who had been shocked for a long time after hearing the news, so he didn't feel there was anything wrong.

But in fact, Liu Zhaoqing remained silent, just thinking about the impact of this incident.

If the descendants of ordinary noble families were abducted, at most they would be commissioned to find them like Zhen Mi, and finding their bodies intact would be the best outcome, let alone expecting them to be alive.

However, the people captured were the sons of Zongzheng and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, so the nature of the situation was different.

"Jicheng is heavily guarded and is located in the rear of Yangping County. There are also highly qualified military commanders like generals in the city. How could the son of Lord Bo'an be abducted by foreigners?" Before this, Liu Zhaoqing still had some doubts.

What's more crucial is that Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, was not a three-year-old child, but a grown man in his early twenties. How could he be abducted by foreigners in Jicheng, the capital of Youzhou? If this were to be spread, it would become a "glorious history" that could be sung by foreigners for a hundred years.

Xian Yu Fu didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't hide his shame when Liu Zhaoqing mentioned it.

The lord's heir was abducted in the city, and he, as one of the top three generals under the lord, did not even notice it. This can naturally be said to be a serious dereliction of duty.

Shame alone is obviously not enough. What Liu Zhaoqing needs now is detailed details.

Just as he was about to ask Xian Yufu again, Guo Jia beside him also spoke up and said, "Did Lord Bo'an release those foreigners?"

Looking at the strange and delicate woman beside Liu Zhaoqing in surprise, Xian Yu Fu didn't know how Guo Jia knew it. Logically, this news was blocked and only a few people knew about it.

If he didn't need clues from Marquis Changping, he wouldn't have told him.

Although Liu Zhaoqing felt that the outcome of the matter was almost certain based on Xian Yufu's expression, he still had an unbelievable look in his eyes and asked:

"Really?"

"Ugh……"

With a sigh, the burly man, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, nodded helplessly.

"It is inconvenient to discuss this matter in detail, because I have not yet learned from the lord why he let him go."

"What I can tell the Marquis of Changping is that Master Liu He may have been bewitched by a foreign race and then deceived into trusting him."

After Xian Yufu finished speaking, he asked, "Have you ever seen anything strange coming northward from the side of Changping?"

Liu Zhaoqing immediately asked someone to find Zhao Yun. She was in charge of border patrol. If there was anything unusual in Changping at night recently, she would definitely be able to detect it with her strength.

But when Zhao Yun arrived and Liu Zhaoqing asked, the answer he got was "everything is the same as before."

"Apart from the ferocious beasts that are attracted by the fire and human habitation at night, there is nothing else." Zhao Yun said.

"Those beasts were just ordinary beasts that were slightly more ferocious than wild beasts. Zhou Cang and I killed them all outside the city when we saw them."

Xian Yu Fu frowned after receiving the answer, then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Marquis Changping and Commandant Zhao for the information you provided. I have to continue on my way. Sorry I can't talk for long."

After saying this, Xianyu Fu said no more. He went straight back to his horse, climbed on it, and led a cavalry team of about two hundred people, left the main road, and continued to gallop towards the north of Changping.

Looking at the troops going away, Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Master Liu, what happened? Why would General Xianyu Fu lead the cavalry... suddenly go north?"

Liu Zhaoqing then told her the news that Liu Yu's son Liu He had been captured.

Zhao Yun was also surprised when he heard this.

Similarly, Zhao Yun also didn't understand why Liu He was abducted by foreigners in Jicheng, and Xianyu Fu couldn't answer.

"I'm afraid I need to go and ask Lord Bo'an in person." Liu Zhaoqing said after thinking for a while.

"We shouldn't go there now." Guo Jia suddenly said, "If Liu He was abducted by those five foreigners, then you might be implicated."

Zhao Yun frowned. Those five foreigners were given to Liu Yu by Liu Zhaoqing. Liu Yu was not the kind of person who did not understand things, but... in the grief of his sons being captured, he might really do something unexpected.

Guo Jia's suggestion is correct.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhaoqing also thought so: "Xian Yu Fu should have gone to find Liu He, but Zilong has been to the north before. The more north you go, the more ferocious beasts there are and the stronger they are. And the most important thing is that the yellow sand in the north outside Yanshan is much worse than here in Changping."

"It would be very dangerous for Xian Yufu to rush in without any investigation or preparation."

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "Master Liu, don't worry about this. General Xianyu Fu was born in Mobei and has a strong ability to detect danger and directions."

"But...with the wind and sand and the beasts blocking our way, we really can't go very far."

Xianyu Fu's journey north was more like a way to make up for his mistakes and to give an explanation to Liu Yu and himself.

Several people understood that Xian Yu Fu would surely return home soon in frustration, or even fail.

"Should we help find it?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked at this time.

Liu Zhaoqing pondered: "Liu He must be very important to Liu Yu. He was abducted from Jicheng and hid so quickly. It is very likely that he was taken away in the same way as the aliens who attacked the Zhen family, riding some kind of ferocious beast to the north quickly..."

"It's almost impossible to find it right away..." Liu Zhaoqing said, then frowned slightly: "Besides, I think Liu Yu might give up."

"give up?"

Guo Jia answered on behalf of Liu Zhaoqing at this time: "Liu Yu will give up his son for the safety of the people of Youzhou."

This is something he can do, and it is also a manifestation of his "benevolence".

So this incident seems scary, but as long as Liu Yu can control himself, it is actually just a tragic accident of losing a son, and it will not escalate to the point where Youzhou will once again face large-scale invasion by foreign races as the fuse of a war.

Liu Zhaoqing felt that this matter would definitely be resolved on its own, and there seemed no need for him to get involved.

But Guo Jia didn't think so.

"My lord, and Zilong, I have something to say. It would be best if I could call Wenyuan and... your wife as well." Guo Jia bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and said.

The people she mentioned, plus Liu Zhaoqing, are all top figures in Changping City.

Liu Zhaoqing realized that Guo Jia might have an important strategy that needed to be discussed, so he immediately nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, he returned to the city and contacted Wenyuan and Jiaoer, and they gathered in a spacious living room in the county magistrate's mansion.

Although the living room is much cleaner than when I first came to Changping half a month ago, apart from a few pleasing green plants, there is nothing else in the living room except the old desk and chairs.

Liu Zhaoqing sat in a high seat, Zhang Jiao sat beside him, while Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun sat on both sides closer to the gate.

"My lord, my lady, and the two generals." Guo Jia stood up and greeted them one by one, and then said, "Although Fengxiao only arrived in Changping yesterday, he has longed for Changping."
