Chapter 121 Inquiring
After the inventory of the granary, Nie Kong finally nodded with satisfaction, "With this grain, our army can guard Suzhou. Before the beginning of spring, we will sweep the northern states and counties and accumulate the strength to attack the capital in one fell swoop!"
"Wei Wang must be very happy to learn the news. Taking Suzhou can be said to be the best medicine to boost the army!" Xu Chenglin touched the dust on the grain bag and said happily, "This can also greatly relieve the pressure of grain and fodder in Weijun!"
"Don't be happy too early!" Nie Kong looked at Xu Chenglin with a smile, "I don't know what's going on with the four states of disturbing scenery, He, Pu and Lin!"
"There should be no big problem!" Xu Chenglin said solemnly, "The last general said goodbye to Yan in detail about the method that the commander had told him. He first split the mountain and pushed the stone, blocked the road from Hezhou to Suzhou, then attacked the small county at the junction of Jingzhou and Puzhou, and then pretended to attack Puzhou. In short, let them get in touch with each other, and they were too busy to deal with us! "
"Well, don't let Yan pretend to attack. Just give us time to calm down for a while. When everything in Suzhou is properly arranged, in addition to leaving some people to strengthen the city's defense, we have to prepare a real sword to remove the four states one by one to threaten us."
Xu Chenglin nodded slightly, then glanced at the door of the warehouse and asked in a low voice, "Is he reliable?"
Needless to say, Nie Kong also knows that Xu Chenglin asked about Mou Kun. Mou Kun is originally the general of the Suzhou battalion. If he is sincerely defending, he and his remnants of Suzhou will undoubtedly add wings to the guard. But if he hides his evil intentions and has other plans, he will become a new trouble for the guard except Yan other. No, not just Trouble, but danger, the potential danger of the guard that may seriously affect the war situation anytime and anywhere.
Thinking of this, Nie Kong's heart sank. With the progress of the war, the situation he is facing will only become more and more difficult. He must be more cautious in every move, and he must never make a big mistake tonight.
"The last general used to be a general under General Lang Dingyuan's account," Mou Kun said to Nie Kong.
"Oh?" Nie Kong frowned and stared at Mou Kun, "Is it General Lang of the Beijing Hu Ben Camp?"
Mou Kun nodded, "All the skills of the last general are still learned from General Lang. Unfortunately, after the accident of the former prince Zhuo Luan, General Lang's situation in the court is very bad because of his good personal relationship with the prince. The reason why Li's party did not dare to take away his position as general is that there is no evidence of communication between General Lang and the prince. It is still due to the prestige of General Lang in the army. Even the former emperor had to give him three points. Of course, Li Jin has also won over General Lang several times, but it is not known what his intention is! At that time, General Lang said to the three generals who had followed him for many years, including the last general, that it was inconvenient for us generals to participate in royal disputes. Although Li's party was a foreign relative, it was ultimately a relative of the royal family. Whether it was the former prince or other princes ascended to the throne, it was a problem for the royal family. Although the late emperor once entrusted General Lang Bao Zhuo Jiangshan did not say who to protect, so as long as the country is still the Zhuo family, he can't oppose it. Not only can it not be reversed. He also recommended us to lead the soldiers and horses of each state to the court to show his love for the royal family.
"What a good heart!" Nie Kong sighed that he could not hear whether he admired or made a fuss. "Since General Lang has shown his goodwill to Li, he should be more favored and valued by Li. Why do you say that he is in a bad situation in the court?"
"It's not!" Mou Kun smiled bitterly, "Nie Junshuai didn't understand the meaning of the last general. General Lang did it for the sake of the Zhuo family, not the Li family. After Li Tai, she was strong and then took control of the government. After all, she didn't have the heart to waste the emperor, did she? In any case, Zhuo Yuancan was still the blood of the former emperor. For this Zhuo character, General Lang put down his personal grudge and endured Xu. There are many criticisms and suspicions. Only one day, the power really falls back to the hands of Zhuo's blood. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager Li is also aware of this, so she uses General Lang and restricts General Lang everywhere. Do you think General Lang's situation is like walking on thin ice?
Nie Kong sighed deeply. Lang Dingyuan's choice really knows more about the overall situation and justice than many people, even he can't do this. In contrast, his righteousness is only for the king of Wei. In terms of the breadth of his mind, I'm afraid that no one can compare with Lang Ding in the middle. It's far away.
"No wonder General Mou can't write two Zhuo words for me. He is willing to offer a warehouse. Nie is ashamed, ashamed!" Nie Kong pondered for a while and then asked, "But now that the country has changed, why is General Lang still in the capital? Is General Lang's family also controlled by Lou Xun?"
"The last general's speculation should be that Lou Xun was originally a former prince Zhuo Luan's person, and he was very clear about the details of the people the prince contacted. After being awarded the title of Loyalty Marquis, Lou Xun raised many dead soldiers with the acquiescence of the Empress Dowager Li. Nie Junshuai must have heard of it. The family members of the important ministers and many important generals in the court have been Lou Xun's people monitored him. Once the courtiers and generals were disobedient or rebellious, the first to suffer was the family. Only like the governor, who bowed their heads and were loyal to Lou Xun, could Lou Xun rest assured to let them take their family's family." Mou Kunyu said unhappyly, "In fact, the last general knew that the governor was sent by Lou Xun to monitor the last general. Since he was determined to On the contrary, the last general has to be in addition to him. I hope Nie Junshuai can understand!"
"Oh? I wonder why the Fu Yin's family members are all in Suzhou Prefecture, but they threaten you with your family members. Now that General Mou has defected to our guard, won't the family members really be poisoned by Lou Xun as Fu Yin said?
Mou Kun said, "It's okay. The last general has always been worried about the safety of his family, so he has to disobey the house. However, a few days ago, the younger brother of the last general came to serve the last general and secretly told the general that the people around the house of the last general were suddenly killed one night, and my brother took advantage of the chaos. The person took it to another place for secret placement. It should not be easy to be found by Lou Xun's people for the time being. He came to inform me on his own.
"Oh? Lou Xun's dead man's martial arts skills are not weak. How could he be suddenly killed? Do you know who did it? Nie Kong remembered the two assassins who had assassinated Changsun Huanxuan.
"The last general doesn't know, and the last general's brother can't explain it clearly, but the last general thinks about it and feels that the only person who is willing to help the last general is General Lang. Unfortunately, since the change of the court, the last general and General Lang have lost contact, so everything is just the guess of the last general." Mou Kun's expression was full of confusion, obviously he I really don't know what's going on.
Nie Kong frowned again. If it was really done by Lang Dingyuan, it means that Lang Dingyuan must have another profound plan, so he will first solve the worries of the future. Mou Kun is Lang Dingyuan's congruity, and even helps Mou Kun to remove his concerns, then Lang Dingyuan is likely to use Mou. Kun's place, and it will never be for the king of Wei or the king of Wu.
Lang Dingyuan is in Beijing. If he wants to deal with Lou Xun, he will have more opportunities than others, but to solve Lou Xun, the same headache is that he will face a new round of chaos that there is no one in the world. Where will Lang Dingyuan go?
After thinking about it, Nie Kong finally hesitated and said, "General Ruolang knows that you have surrendered, I don't know how you will feel?"
Mou Kun hesitated for a moment, "Isn't it Wu Wei's allied army led by Nie Junshuai? He surrendered to Wu. The last general felt that he was still adhering to the ambition of General Lang. In short, the last general was not loyal to the Lou training dog thief, and he would never be loyal to the Lou training dog thief!"
Nie Kong nodded slightly, "With this from General Mou, Nie can safely return the city of Suzhou to the general."
"Return? What does Nie Junshuai mean...?" Mou Kun's eyes widened.
Nie Kong smiled gently, "General Mou must be more familiar with the field situation in Suzhou than I am. It's up to you to help me strengthen the defense. Nie can also save a lot of worry. What's more, the soldiers of Suzhou's battalion have always been led by you. If they change the commander rashly, they may not be willing to obey!"
"However, the last general is a surrendered general of the imperial court. Isn't Nie Junshuai worried?" Mou Kunyou is a little unbelievable.
"Worried!" Nie Kong replied very honestly, "But since you trusted me first, why can't Nie trust you once?"
"The last general is very grateful. He will try his best to protect Suzhou. If Nie Junshuai has any instructions, the last general will do it immediately!" Mou Kun held a heavy fist and bowed to salute.
"Retap your soldiers and horses and rebuild the camp!" After saying that, Nie Kong walked out of the door with his hands behind his back. In fact, he couldn't say it himself. With Mou Kun's words alone, it was right or wrong to give the military power to Mou Kun again. However, it seemed that he could only make good use of Mou Kun for the time being to digest so many remnants of Suzhou soldiers.
After taking two steps, Nie Kong suddenly remembered something again. He stopped and turned around and asked, "General Mu, I don't know if you have a way to contact General Lang now?"
The sky is slowly clearing. In addition to a little sporadic snow, the early morning sun has revealed the horizon. On the road from Youliangguan to Weijun, a carriage quietly stopped on the roadside. Huan Ying and Lu Zisong sent the people they wanted to send.
"Madam, don't send it. Lu Xiaoci, who goes back to Weijun, can also walk with her eyes closed. Don't worry, it's just you, but you must be careful! You have to come back safely!" Xiaoci said so, but her ten fingers were still reluctantly holding the ten fingers of Huanling.
"I know, I know!" Huanxuan smiled, "Beware of such words. You have said it hundreds of times. How dare I not care? What's more, I have swore to you hundreds of times that I will bring your General Lu back together!"
"Alas!" Xiaoci pouted embarrassedly, "Then Xiaoci will leave? I hope to hear the good news of your wife's victory as soon as possible. By the way, does your wife have any words to bring to the king of Wei? If you see the king of Wei and ask about your wife's situation, how should I reply?
Huanxuan pondered for a moment, "Just reply truthfully, just say that I'm fine and let him rest assured. In addition, you can ask Wei Wang a word for me!"
"What do you want to ask, madam?"
Huanxuan bit his lip and hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, he summoned up the courage to say a few words in Xiaoci's ear. Xiaoci first stared with surprise, then looked back at Huanxuan's eyes for a moment, and then couldn't help asking, "What does this mean?"
"Just ask, and you King Wei will understand!" Huanxuan said and smiled again, as if he was explaining to Xiaoci or talking to himself, "Only King Wei can understand the deep meaning of this sentence."
