Chapter 274: Doubts in the Letter

The letter specified that He Guanglie should hand over the latest defense map. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The word "latest" is worth scrutinizing.

If He Linwan is not mistaken, the change in the armament of Penglai City is not fixed in time, that is to say, it can be changed every three months or every three years. He Linwan knew that He Guanglie was busy with the armament a while ago, but how did the other party learn about the change in armament.

If the other party has an internal response in the Dengzhou camp, since this internal response can detect the change of defense, indicating that the level is not low, then wouldn't it be safer for him to steal the defense map himself than to catch Xiaohuzi and threaten He Guanglie in exchange for the defense map?

The more He Linwan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he simply returned to the main room to find He Guanglie.

Wei was still in the kitchen, and He Linwan went straight into the study, not wanting to be stunned as soon as he entered.

She didn't expect that He Guanglie, who had just said with a firm face in front of her that he would not exchange the defense map for his son, actually sat there and covered his face and cried silently.

This is the second time He Linwan has seen He Guanglie crying, the first time he is for his wife, but this time it is for his son. He Linwan used to think that only men who had no responsibility could only cry, but looking at He Guanglie like this today, she felt that he was a man who stood up to the sky.

He Guanglie also heard the sound of someone coming in, and hurriedly wiped his face and raised his head.

"I ...... Dust just got into my eyes. He Guanglie sniffed and said in a dumb voice.

He Linwan didn't dismantle him, she pretended not to see He Guanglie's red eyes, walked up to him and put the letter on the table: "Father, I just went back and thought about it, and I think this matter is a little strange. ”

Then He Linwan told He Guanglie about his suspicions just now.

He Guanglie said: "When I received this letter, I also suspected that there were spies from other countries around me. ”

He Lin said later: "What if this matter is not as simple as a spy of the enemy country?"

He Guanglie frowned: "What do you mean?"

He Linwan thought for a while and said, "I suspect that the other party is not coming for the defense map, but for you!"

"What?

He Lin said later: "Father, what season do you think it is?"

Without waiting for He Guanglie to answer, He Linwan continued: "The people of Daji are mainly nomadic herders, and now that the cold winter has just passed, the weather is getting warmer, and the pasture grass in the north is gradually lush. Father, you also know that all the people of Daji Country are soldiers, and the herdsmen have moved north, and the main combat strength of Daji Country has also moved north, so they generally do not choose this actual southward attack city. Taking a step back, even if they attack at this time, our food here is not yet ripe, and as long as we keep them outside the city, their army will starve to death if they don't bring enough dry food themselves. ”

He Guanglie bowed: "That's right, the southern invasion of the Daji Kingdom usually chooses winter, and their herdsmen also moved back south at that time. ”

He Lin said lately: "First, second, Lou Feng was injured by you and Gongsun Xian four years ago, and he didn't get better, and it dragged on until Xia Loufeng died last year. After Lou Feng's death, his son was not successful, and his troops were divided among his nephew Lou Hu, his subordinate Teng Gu, and the King of the South. The Lou family is fighting endlessly, and they are at odds with the king of the south, and no one obeys anyone, and Daji cannot find a commander who can take on the main beam, which is also the reason why Daji has not launched a large-scale war in recent years. Until they decide the winner internally, I suspect this situation will continue. The most urgent thing for the country to solve now is the issue of the unification of military power, not to go south to wage war at this inopportune time. ”

He Guanglie thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense." So you mean this matter has nothing to do with Daji?"

King He Lin shook his head: "No, maybe it is related to a certain force of the Great Ji Kingdom, but the purpose of the Great Ji Kingdom's move is not to prepare for the siege of the city, but to ...... Some kind of agreement was made with some people. ”

He Guanglie's eyes sharpened when he heard this: "You mean that there are people in our third battalion who are colluding with Daji Kingdom?"

He Linwan said lightly: "Why should my father be surprised, have you forgotten how the old general Gongsun died in the first place? In this world, there are many people who abandon the righteousness of the country for their own selfish interests and disregard it. ”

He Guanglie's face turned pale, and he took a deep breath and said, "Who is it? Who is it who conspired with the people of Daji to kidnap my son this time?"

He Lin said later: "Whoever benefits from your downfall is whoever wins." As I just said, this time their purpose is you, not some arming map. So no matter whether you hand over the so-called defense map in the end or not, I'm afraid they will give you a charge of colluding with foreign enemies. ”

He Guanglie clenched his fists and stared at him for a long time, but finally collapsed on the chair with a sigh of relief: "How can we save your brother?"

He Lin said lately: "Since they want a picture, then give it." ”

He Guanglie looked at He Linwan and stopped talking.

He Linwan said: "Since their goal is not the deployment map, they won't care if the map is real or fake, and I didn't ask you to hand over the real map, just hand over a fake one." ”

He Guanglie hesitated: "Is this useful?"

He Linwan nodded firmly: "Nature is useful." ”

Seeing that He Linwan was so sure, He Guanglie nodded: "That's good." ”

He Linwan said: "You give me the real defense map, I will copy a copy, and use this to exchange Xiaohuzi with them." ”

He Guanglie agreed.

Soon, He Guanglie took back the defense map and handed it over to He Linwan for imitation.

The defense map can't leave He Guanglie's sight, originally he had already violated the taboo in the army by handing over such an important thing to He Linwan, but He Guanglie still trusted his daughter.

When He Linwan was painting, He Guanglie stood aside and watched He Linwan's painting, and he made one or two points about what He Linwan didn't understand.

It took Herin two hours to draw the very detailed defense drawing, and when she was done, she breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her wrist a little tiredly.

He Guanglie walked over and took a look, nodded and said, "Yes, you should be able to fool people." ”

At this time, it was getting late, and Wei had come before, and when he saw them drawing in the study, he thought it was a new way for the father and daughter to play, so he sent them some supper and left, without paying much attention.

He Linwan put away the original picture and returned it to He Guanglie: "The letter said that the good time is tomorrow, and tomorrow we will exchange this for Xiaohuzi." But father, I'm going too!"

He Guanglie didn't want to agree, but when he saw He Linwan's pleading eyes, he finally nodded, thinking that with his own presence, he wouldn't even be able to protect his daughter. (To be continued.) )
