Chapter 133 Determining counties and counties

"Aren't I locked up by the prefect? ​​Where is this?" Dongluwei asked with confusion. Huo Guang really couldn't tell from her expression that there was anything wrong with her.

"This is still the inn where I live. Why were you locked up by Wang Wenshu?" Huo Guang stood beside the bed and said. If there was really something wrong with this Dongluwei, Huo Guang had to admire her acting skills for being too superb.

"So you saved me? I don't know. When I went back from here in the morning, the housekeeper said that I was not doing well and locked me in the woodshed." Dong Luwei said with a pitiful look.

Huo Guang paid attention to the key points of her expression and words, but basically nothing was found. Then he smiled and said, "It's not considered saving you. At that time, I happened to arrest Wang Wenshu. When my soldiers found you in the woodshed, I ordered someone to bring you back. You can rest assured that Wang Wenshu had committed suicide!"

"Ah? He is the prefect? ​​Why did he commit suicide?" Dongluwei said in surprise like an ignorant girl. To be honest, her reaction was really beyond Huo Guang's expectations. Originally, Huo Guang also deliberately told Wang Wenshu's suicide to see Dongluwei's reaction.

"Haha, he may think I won't let him go. Anyway, it's better to commit suicide than to fall into my hands!" Huo Guang said with a smile, and it was a bit joking at this time.

"So you are so powerful? I thought the prefect of Hanoi County was the biggest, but I didn't expect you to be older than the prefect. Then wouldn't you kill whoever you want?" Dong Luwei asked curiously.

"I am older than the prefect, but I can't kill anyone who wants to kill! Of course, I will never show mercy to those who are ill-conspired, and no one who should be killed can escape!" Huo Guang suddenly stared at Dong Luwei with a solemn expression and said, "You are not old, and you are really a murderer when you speak, as if you have killed many people?"

Huo Guang was also amused by Dongluwei, and his originally serious expression disappeared. Then she asked Dongluwei again: "Are you a soldier or a free person in Wang Wenshu's mansion?"

"Is this a big deal?" Dong Luwei asked in confusion.

"Do you know what crime Wang Wenshu committed? His crime is likely to involve several tribes. If he is a slave who sells himself, he will continue to be an official slave. If he is not lucky, he will be asked to be executed." Huo Guang also didn't know if Dongluwei belonged to Wang Wenshu's slave or a civilian with a free body.

"It's good... I'm just a worker in the prefect's mansion, so I shouldn't be implicated, right?" Dongluwei said with lingering fear. It seems that she is still a civilian with freedom. She just earns some wages when she works as a servant in the prefect's mansion.

"Don't you have a grandfather? Where is he now? What are your plans next?" Huo Guang remembered that Dongluwei said that he came to Huai County with his grandfather.

When Huo Guang asked this, Dongluwei looked a little sad. After a moment of silence, she said, "Grandpa has left... It was the third lady who saw that I was lonely and helpless that asked me to work in the prefect's office. Now I really don't know what to do?"

"So you are also a pitiful person. It just so happens that I lack a servant around me. If you are willing, stay, right? Of course, you can do it anytime if you want to leave." Huo Guang said what he had already thought of. Since Dongluwei was so suspicious, Huo Guang simply did the opposite and simply kept her by his side, so as to see what tricks she could play.

After Huo Guang said this, Dongluwei's face showed a strange expression for the first time. I don't know if it was because she was too surprised or something else. However, this strange phenomenon was just a flash. Then Dongluwei said excitedly: "Really? Master is really willing to take me in?"

"You can't eat much, but you have done this for me in the future. Is there any problem with the injury on my body?" Huo Guang said calmly, but Dongluwei's words just now still made a look of unusual cunning look flash in Huo Guang's eyes. Sure enough, when Huo Guang deliberately created something that surprised Dongluwei, this woman finally showed a flaw, and this subtle flaw is impossible for ordinary people to discover. Even Dongluwei didn't know that his subconscious words had already revealed a flaw.

"It's all skin trauma, it's okay to rest for a night. I will definitely not be lazy!" Dong Luwei said hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Huo Guang would change his mind.

"Then let it be. You have a good rest tonight and start working tomorrow!" Huo Guang turned around and left after saying that. To be honest, there are both advantages and disadvantages to staying Dongluwei. The advantage is that he can find some clues from Dongluwei's clue, and the disadvantage is that he always puts himself in danger.

The spies sent to the prefectures and counties to investigate the next day finally returned. According to the spies' exploration, Wang Meng, who occupied the prefectures and counties, was not strong. His main combat power was the prisoners of prefectures and counties released by Wang Meng. There were three or four hundred of these people, and there were about five hundred refugees and small groups of nearby bandits recruited, which combined less than a thousand.

"Your Majesty, although this Wang Meng has less than a thousand mobs, the thieves occupy the city's benefits. Although our army is elite, there are not many people after all, and all cavalrymen will probably not have a chance of victory if they forcefully attack the city." Huo Guang summoned several confidants and Zhu Wugao Buzhi and others to discuss how to overcome the prefectures and counties. Dongfang Shuo was still the first to speak. He first analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.

Huo Guang naturally understood what Dongfang Shuo said. Although Huo Guang had a thousand sect troops and hundreds of Hanoi county soldiers received by Li Ling, these were all elite. Even if he had one against three, he would have a stable victory against the bandits. But if Wang Meng occupied the city and could not defend the battle, Huo Guang's advantage would not be able to be fully utilized.

"The strong attack is naturally not possible, but I have already thought of a solution." Huo Guang said with a smile, with a relaxed expression on his face. Then he said loudly: "Gao doesn't know how to follow the order."

"Subordinate is here." Gao Buzhi came out. These people basically knew Gao Buzhi and knew that he was the former Marquis of Yiguan. However, when Emperor Wu of Han cut off Gao Buzhi's title, he did not say that he could never be activated. Even if Gao Buzhi helped Huo Guang quell the rebellion as a civilian, there was nothing worth ill, but it should be praised, so Gao Buzhi did not need to conceal his identity.

"I ordered you to order two hundred soldiers in the sect, and then disguise yourself as bandits and bandits, and go to the prefectures and counties to pretend to surrender to Wang Meng. I will then lead the army to come. When the agreed date, I will lead the troops to attack the city. Then we will cooperate inside and outside to capture all the thieves in the prefectures and counties in one go." Huo Guang said in a deep voice. He had already thought of this strategy last night. Without absolute advantage, forcing the city to attack will only increase casualties, and that kind of siege battle is only carried out as a strategic step in large-scale battles.

Wang Meng is just an ordinary person. I believe that there will be no master under his command. He will never doubt Gao Bushi's identity. This move is almost certain.

"No." Gao Buzhi held his fist and took the order, so he went down and prepared to go.

"Your plan is really a clever plan!" Dongfang Shuo, Du Yannian and others said in unison.

"Li Ling obeyed the order." Huo Guang smiled slightly and nodded, then continued.

"Subordinate is here."

"I ordered you to lead the Hanoi County soldiers to defend Huai County. After I left, unless you see me leading the army back with your own eyes, the city gate will not be opened if there is any situation." Huo Guang could not bring all his troops to attack the prefectures and counties. The county seat Huai County must be strictly guarded, so he asked Li Ling to lead the county soldiers to defend Huai County.

"No." Although Li Ling was a little reluctant, he also wanted to follow Huo Guang to attack prefectures and counties, but since Huo Guang issued the order, he could only do so.

The next matter was arranged, and everyone was preparing to go. Gao Bushi brought two hundred disguised Qimen soldiers to the prefectures and counties in the afternoon of the same day. Because they had to pretend to be bandits, it was impossible for everyone to have horses. It would take some time to walk along the way to the prefectures and counties, so Huo Guang was not in a hurry to take the people out. In the plan, Huo Guang had to wait until the afternoon of the next day to take the remaining eight hundred Qimen soldiers to the prefectures and counties.

That night, Huo Guang was still sitting in the house looking through the official documents of each county and some latest situations. After a while, Dongluwei walked in with a wooden plate with some refreshments on it.

Now Dongluwei has finally changed into women's clothes, and she looks really beautiful and lovely. "Your Majesty, eat something. I heard that you will lead your army to recover the prefectures and counties tomorrow, so let's take a break tonight!" As soon as he walked into Huo Guang, Dongluwei said softly, playing the image of a maid very conscientiously.

Huo Guangmingri led his army to recover prefectures and counties. This incident was not secret, and even the people of Huai County heard about it. However, Gao Buzhi's vanguard troops disguised as a secret. No one except those present in the morning knew about it.

"I also want to rest early, but there are so many things waiting to be dealt with. You can relax for a few days after I leave tomorrow." Huo Guang raised his head slightly, looked at Dongluwei and said, then continued to lower his head to deal with the official documents on the case table.

"Your Majesty can bring me with me, and I can also serve you with the army." Dong Luwei put the tea and said with a bit of naughty smell on the corner of Huo Guang's desk.

"Nonsense, this is going to fight, how can you take a woman with me?" Huo Guang ignored Dong Luwei and said with his head buried.

"Hmph, you men just look down on women. I heard that the queen of Shang Jun Wu Ding was a great female general. She could still defeat the Qiang people with thousands of prisoners. Who said women could not go to the battlefield?" Dong Luwei said dissatisfied, but what surprised Huo Guang was that she actually quoted classics to refute Huo Guang.

Huo Guang was slightly stunned because when Dongluwei mentioned Fu Hao, he didn't react for a while. If it weren't for the name Wu Ding, it happened to coincide with some memories of later generations in Huo Guang's mind, and he wouldn't even know who Fu Hao was?
