"Guide Mansion is located in the east of Henan, connecting Qi and Lu in the north, and supporting the two Huai in the south, which is the gateway to the Central Plains. Now that the Qing Dynasty is fighting with the bandits, the Central Plains is empty, and we should take advantage of the situation to seize Guide and firmly take the lead."

"Mr. Li, I naturally know that the Central Plains is a place for martial arts. However, Guide is currently the territory of the Henan general Xu Dingguo. Although the old man is over 70 years old, he heard that he is extremely brave and has 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers under his command. Besides, Guide City is in a high and deep state. Li Zicheng was in a loss of troops at the city and was not prepared properly, so he dared not march rashly!"

Speaking of which, the general of Henan Xu Dingguo was also a figure. He climbed all the way to the position of general of Shanxi. As a result, when he was fighting against Li Zicheng, his subordinates were defeated and were imprisoned. However, due to the lack of generals, Xu Dingguo was released. After arriving in his hometown in Henan, Xu Dingguo dispersed all his wealth, recruited soldiers, and occupied Guide and other places, becoming an important separatist force.

The old guy designed the history books of Xu Dingguo in Luoxue Academy and killed Gao Jie, one of the four towns in Jiangbei. Shi Kefa's only enterprising plan to advance to the Central Plains was completely bankrupt. The old man then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and became a shameful traitor.

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but be afraid of such a cunning guy who could collude with the Qing Dynasty at any time.

Li Jibo curled his lips: "Gu Zhenhua, it's not that I'm talking about you, why did you go to the south? You don't have the courage. Take Ge Tao and the others as an example. Killing them directly is just enough to shock the morale of the army. You can still have one million taels of silver left. What a great thing."

"Mr. Li, I am indeed afraid, but I can't bear it. As a human being, I always have a bottom line. I can't get up suddenly, and it's up to my brothers to give up everything and follow me. This love is nothing. Of course, it's only once, so I won't be the case. Besides, the old brothers are also responsible for the rewards of saving the Lord, and let's go to the Internet.

In the future, we must set complete regulations for recruitment, training, retirement and pension. We will also repeatedly tell the recruits, telling them that this is the only time and no one can be lucky, otherwise I will never be polite! To be honest, if I always spend so much money, I will not be willing to bear it."

Li Jibo also smiled and said, "Everything is two-sided. When I started my career, I was right to learn from Uncle Liu, but I had to learn from Cao Mengde when I was in politics."

There is no need to heavy hammers to sound the drum. In fact, after Gu Zhenhua's adjustment this time, Li Xu's position in An** became more and more prominent, and he was in charge of the heavy cavalry camp. It is precisely because Gu Zhenhua is nostalgic that Li Jibo is willing to plan with all his heart.

"Let's talk about Guide. You can't attack forcefully or take your wits? The ruling order of bandits in Henan has collapsed. Every day, refugees cannot escape, and bandits are everywhere. There may be excuses to deal with the Qing Dynasty, but can Xu Dingguo refuse to deal with the bandits?"

Gu Zhenhua was also extremely smart. When the old man made a point, he understood: "You are going to use the trick of digging the tiger away from the mountain."

"Even if you don't leave, you can still fatigue them."

Gu Zhenhua thought for a while and said with a smile: "Xu Dingguo is scheming and not easy to deal with. So let the second brother bring his men into Guide territory in the name of pursuing bandits, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and seeing the old man's reaction."

After the discussion was made, Gu Zhenhua remembered something again and hurried back to the temporary residence.

Gu Zhenhua's mansion was originally a salt merchant's house. It was not large in size, but it was exquisitely designed and ingenious. It had blue brick courtyard walls and large trees were planted inside and outside, covering it with green shade, which was very cool.

Walking through the screen wall, there are winding corridors, vermilion pillars, golden painted painted, plump maids, delicate lotus flowers, roaring beasts, flying spirit birds, all in one foot. Under the eaves of the corridor are hanging bird bells, and the breeze blows, and the ears are jingling.

In the courtyard, the pebbles are elegant and quaint, with flower beds on both sides. It is June and July, flowers bloom like brocade, bees and butterflies are dancing, and flowers are filled with fragrance. The fish tank with a sub-colored tea leaves, and the sound of koi churning is heard from time to time.

However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot compete with the characters in the mansion. As soon as Gu Zhenhua walked in, he heard pleasant singing coming from the courtyard beside him.

"The drizzle sang through the small window, and I was free to send my pen and ink to the wild. The most fear of the east wind was the evil, and the scattered fall was the coldness of the stalk. The flowing water was unintentional, and the pearls were sunken and broken jade was even more hurt..."

The sound was ethereal, as if it was coming from the sky, the sound was melodious and melodious, and it penetrated into the heart. In an instant, the bones all over the body became lighter. Gu Zhenhua immediately became interested and hurriedly followed the singing, bypassed the gallery, and headed straight to the courtyard.

As soon as I arrived at the courtyard wall, I saw three beautiful ladies among the flowers. One was wearing white clothes and singing melodiously. The other was in a red long skirt, holding the pipa in his arms, playing it casually. The other was in a light green jacket, holding the three strings, passing by the jade fingers, and the wonderful audio came out, and the singing was perfectly dressed in perfect harmony!

The singer was Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Li Xiangjun, who played the pipa. The three of them were all famous, and the Qinse and everyone was rehearsing together, and it was even more unique. Suddenly, the fairy in the Moon Palace drifted to the mortal world, and the beakers and swallows were not inferior to Chang'e in the moon.

"Okay, good singing and accompaniment are really rare!"

The three of them heard Gu Zhenhua's laughter and hurriedly stopped. Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun were both robbed and were very repulsive of Gu Zhenhua. They all couldn't help but turn their heads, and only Liu Rushi came over with a smile.

"It turns out that the Duke of the State has arrived. You have missed a piece of praise."

"Where?" Gu Zhenhua asked in surprise.

"Of course it's the lady. Such graceful lyrics and music are not something we women can write."

lady?

Gu Zhenhua was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Are you talking about Miss Mei?"

"I dare not call it that way, but my wife is indeed very talented, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is also familiar with reading classics and history, and she is quick to think. Take this passage of "Red Plum Pavilion" for example, it is taken from the legend of the Southern Song Dynasty. Every word is a pearl and pearl, and it can be called a work of all ages!"

"Sister Rushi, what are you talking nonsense? I just wrote a few words casually."

Liu Rushi immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "I can't help but mutter, the lady is here so soon, it must be because she is afraid that the Duke will mess with her."

Gu Zhenhua didn't care about Liu Rushi's teasing, but stared at Mei Junruo tightly, as if he wanted to re-recognize the beauty. From top to bottom, from inside to outside, his eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

Mei Junruo's face turned red and she glanced at Gu Zhenhua.

"The shopkeeper opened his mouth and the young man ran off his legs. You were arrogant and said that you should use a mediocre sound to corrupt the Tartars. As a result, the bitter fruit fell on us. We thought about singing the passages overnight, wrote the lyrics, and rehearsed them. We were all so busy."

Mei Junruo said, stuffing a thick stack of manuscripts into Gu Zhenhua's arms.

"Look, this is a singing segment made by Miss Chen and I. There are three Kingdoms, the West Chamber, and the Legend of the White Snake. The songs are divided into two types. One is modified from Kunqu opera, suitable for large stage performances. The other is modified from the big drum book in Hebei. One person sings and two or three people accompanied them. We are also working behind closed doors. Whether it is appropriate or not, we must also see what the artist says."

After the Eight Banners entered the pass, they had hard-core crops and suddenly became rich. The pursuit of various enjoyments was even better than the Ming Dynasty. To be fair, the need of the Eight Banners, even active creation, played a significant role in the development of opera and folk art.

However, compared to the sorrow of the nation, it is better not to have such a national treasure!

Gu Zhenhua now wants to use the extravagant psychology of the Eight Banners to accelerate the temptation to degenerate. According to the judgment of later generations, the "Verious Sound" designed by Gu Zhenhua is divided into two types, one is opera, the national quintessence of Peking Opera, and the other is the king of folk art, the Beijing Rhyme Drum!

Gu Zhenhua thought this matter was a bit difficult, but he didn't know that the four beauties had found out after more than a month. What surprised Gu Zhenhua even more was that Mei Junruo, a little girl, had such thoughts, was beyond expectations.

"Why, when women are all vases, they look good and serve as decorations? I tell you, there is no chance, otherwise I will be sure to win three consecutive years."

"So the young actor should marry the girl home quickly, so as not to run away from the female No. 1 pick."

As Gu Zhenhua said, he held Mei Junruo's thin waist, and as if no one was around, he hugged her to his legs, pressed her to his ears, and said with a smile: "Have a good wife in the family is better than a good minister in the country. If I had known that the girl had this ability, I would not have to be so busy with her!"

Seeing Gu Zhenhua holding Mei Junruo with pampering pleasure, Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xiangjun couldn't help but turn their heads, their hearts were beating and their pink faces were red.

"My heart is all in Hou Lang. Now I am just complaining and compromising..." Li Xiangjun kept reminding herself, but she couldn't help but compare. Although she was literary, she ran away in advance and was irresponsible, and she couldn't be said to be reliable. The other is extremely powerful, with a high position and a high reputation, and she knows the pain and heat. The more she thinks, her face is like a burning fire.

Chen Yuanyuan was even more ashamed, angry and anxious. She thought Wu Sangui was a hero, but now she has become a shameful traitor. She is even more trapped in the hands of others. Where should she go in the future!

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanyuanzhu burst into tears, stood up suddenly, covered her face and turned around and ran away.

Mei Junruo also woke up suddenly at this time, hurriedly pushed Gu Zhenhua away, and said angrily: "When you eat the bowl and look at the pot, do you men be happy to bully women?"

"Silly girl, sometimes it's better to vent it than keep it in my heart." Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "I care more about Miss Mei. How many abilities do you have?"

"Hmph, my father was once the governor of Zhejiang. He knew more or less about poetry, songs, medical and fortune tellers, money, grain and official documents, and eight-part articles. Our Mei family only has one daughter, but she was actually raised as a son!"

"Hahaha, it seems that my father-in-law is really foresighted. Miss Mei is a natural virtuous man."

"Hmph, don't be sensible. I want three media and six certificates. You'd better find my relatives first, otherwise you won't want to marry you."

"Don't worry, Miss Mei, I've arranged staff a long time ago, I'm afraid there will be news in a few days!"

While he was talking, suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the yard gate, and Xie Bin ran in quickly with a big black man.

When the black man saw Gu Zhenhua, he immediately rubbed his eyes and then knelt on the ground.

"Sir, the villain has seen you!"

When Gu Zhenhua saw this person, he was also startled and blurted out: "Luan Hu, what happened to you? No matter how I sent someone, I can't find it?"
