Chapter 358: Border City
Su Tong asked Mo Fuqing to inform Fu Chengyu of this matter, and asked people to come here to check whether there were any spies hiding, and hurried to Huaiyin.
As soon as he arrived in Fengnan, he heard that the state of Chu had a large army to raise the Huaiyin line, the specific movement remains to be observed, Su Tong sent a letter, just met Ge Tan sent to the side line to support the troops, so he had to come forward to meet Ge Tan, "The general should not be alarmed, General Fu is already on the way, Huaiyin also has heavy troops to guard, Chu is only re-deploying the army has not yet started, the general does not need to rush to the next day and then return to the army to lose money, and the border people are afraid." ”
Ge Tan was blushing by him, he heard that Chu sent 100,000 troops this time, plus the 30,000 troops on the original border of Chu, thinking that the Yunhan garrison was only in the early 40,000s, lest Huaiyin City be broken by then, and Fengnan would not be able to escape, so he simply raised troops to help, and when Fu Chengyu's army arrived, it would not be too late to return, but he never thought that in Su Tong's opinion, this move would be so inappropriate.
But after Su Tong's identity saw him last time, he had already found out, this person is now the prince of Zhennan Wangfu, even if he was not the king of Zhennan before, it is not far away, but he has to save face for his words.
"It's because the general is not thoughtful, so I will leave half of the soldiers and horses for Qingcheng to respond, and wait for General Fu's army to be stationed in Huaiyin and then return to Fengnan. ”
Ge Tan is also a general, he has his considerations, Su informed him that it is impossible for him to bring all the people back to Fengnan, and he will not say more, but this Ge Tan is not afraid of falling into the stigma of being dispatched at will without an order.
Ge Tan handed over half of the people to Fang Yuan, the guard of Qingcheng, and brought the other half back to Fengnan, where he met Shangyuan, Su Tong was a little surprised, "You are not in Shiling, when did you transfer Qingcheng?"
"It's General Fu Chengyu's meaning, not only me, but also a few other junior generals who are transferred between these border cities every half load, and order us to be familiar with all the terrain garrisons in the border cities. Fang Yuan said, seeing that the people around him were very familiar, he thought for a moment before he realized that it was Mo Fuqing beside Fu Chengyu, "Vice General Mo, why are you here?"
Mo Fuqing only nodded lightly, Fang Yuan was not familiar with him, and he didn't ask more questions when he saw that people didn't answer, but he wanted to stay with Su Tong for a drink, but Su Tong said that he had a task with Mo Fuqing, and he had to rush to Huaiyin, so he had to give up. But he saw that this time Su Tong came out, it was not as good as the last time he followed him, and this time he really joined the army and received his life.
He finally got what he wanted, but it was hard for him to say a word of congratulations when this wish came true. Su Tong smiled and said to him, "When Huaiyin's matter is over, I'll come to you again for a drink." ”
In fact, Sutong doesn't drink well, and he doesn't drink much, but somehow he was on the city wall blowing the south wind and looked at the Pingchuan outside the city, and suddenly felt that he was bound to have a meal of wine to be happy.
Fang Yuan smiled and sent them down the city wall, "Okay, I'll wait for you, when the time comes, I'll see if your alcohol consumption is better or mine." ”
Speaking of this, Mo Fuqing glanced at the two of them more, and there was a sense of familiarity in his eyes, this is what the man on the battlefield looks like, Su Tong, who has been following him unsmiling for most of the month, almost suffocated him, and now it seems that Su Tong is just not familiar with him, and his temperament is by no means as boring as a board and a glance.
But Su Tong's status is too high, so high that Mo Fuqing is reluctant to make friends with him, but he will inherit the position of the king of Zhennan in the future, and these martial arts generals are also a family, and they are also his half-grown masters.
Su Tong felt that Mo Fuqing was in a state of mind from time to time after he came out of Qingcheng, for example, right now, he didn't know what he was thinking about alone, so he asked, "But the deputy general feels that something is wrong?"
Mo Fuqing came back to his senses and shook his head indifferently, "You are the second son of the marshal, you should have been proficient in how to use troops a long time ago, why did you say that you are still inexperienced with the general?"
Sutong Lerma paused, "I'm ashamed to say that I was too stubborn when I was a child, and my father didn't learn anything about it. ”
Mo Fuqing glanced at him, not quite convinced, but he couldn't think of why a person who was born in a family of military generals and whose relatives and friends were almost all military generals would not understand these reasons, so he didn't ask any more, only said, "The general said that the battlefield is the most sharpening place, and it won't take long for you to learn most of it, and use soldiers like a god like your father." ”
Su Tong nodded and drove his horse away, "Accept your auspicious words." ”
Looking at that peerless ride, Mo Fuqing felt that this person was sometimes too chic and arbitrary, and he was not like a person who had been in the army, what he said should not have deceived himself, and he really didn't learn anything from Marshal Su.
Mo Fu smiled lightly, this person is really interesting.
But when they got to one place, Su Tong suddenly jumped off his horse and shouted at him, "Get off your horse and come here." ”
Mo Fuqing looked at his horse and saw that his horse had run away, and approached him in a daze, "What's the matter?"
Su Tong's eyes lit up, and he dragged him into the forest, Mo Fuqing only listened to the sound of the wind behind him, and when he looked back, there were a few arrows pierced by the tree where he had just stood, and he thought about how someone could assassinate them in this place, Su Tong had already dragged him towards the depths of the forest.
"Don't make a noise, there are a lot of people on the other side. ”
The light in the forest was very dim, and Mo Fuqing couldn't even see Su Tong's figure clearly, "Then what should we do?" ”
Su Tong pushed him into the shadow of the tree, "Climb up, hide, I can deal with it alone." ”
Mo Fuqing wanted to say something, but in front of him, he couldn't even find half an inch of Su Tong's only shadow in the dark, so he had to listen to the words and climb the tree to hide, only to hear the clashing of weapons in the forest, and the birdsong that flew all over the forest, and his heart beat straight when he heard it.
The chasing killers scattered in the forest to search for them, Su Tong picked up a knife and landed in the dark to quietly solve the two, searched them but found nothing, but his intuition should be the pair of men and women he met that night, and he became more and more ruthless, and he went straight to the point as soon as he made a move.
But there were too many people coming, and they were quite vigilant, and their martial arts were not weak, so it took Su Tong some time to capture a living mouth, "You should know why I left you alive, as long as you say who sent you to kill me, I will spare your life." ”
The man chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide, without knowing a word.
Su Tong spit out a breath of turbidity, raised his voice and called Mo Fuqing over, out of the forest, whistled with his hand, and ran away without a shadow, Mo Fuqing instantly admired, "How many people are in this batch? Why kill us?"
Su Tong turned over and got on his horse, Mo Fuqing also got on his horse, and heard a very calm voice next to him, "Ten, I counted them when they entered the forest, and there was no omission, all the way to this place to kill such a person, I probably have something to do with the pair of men and women we met that night." ”
Mo Fuqing followed him, and the wind-blown robe was stained with a lot of scarlet blood, "Your martial arts are really powerful, you are more like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, I really can't imagine that it was raised by the nobles of the family." ”
"Your eyesight is amazing, but you can see through it at a glance, because you have been too stubborn since you were a child, and you have been sent to the Jianghu sect to suffer a lot of crimes. Su Tong said with a smile.
Mo Fuqing couldn't tell which of what he said was true and which was false, anyway, this person was fine, and he really had nothing to deceive this person, at most many people had secrets and didn't want to announce them all, so he took this as a full truth and wrote it down.
After arriving in Huaiyin, Mo Fuqing first led Su Tong to his residence, and then went to the general's office to meet Mu Nian, the general of Huaiyin, and learned that the army of Chu still had some time to reach the border, and Fu Chengyu's army was completely in time to meet the battle.
Su Tong felt that Mu Nian seemed to look at him a few more times, "General Mu has something to say to me?"
Mu Nian glanced at him deeply, "It's rude, I'm just looking at the young man and my old friend looking a little similar, which reminds me of a lot of past events." ”
Su Tong was surprised, he actually met an acquaintance of his parents' generation again, fortunately, he just called himself Su Er, Mu Nian didn't know his true identity, and he didn't bother to explain, "The friendship between the general and his old friend must be very deep, so he remembers her appearance so deeply." ”
Mu Nian was stunned by his words, shook his head and sighed, "Where can I be friends with her, I just had the honor to protect her for a while, but because of my temporary negligence, she suffered a lot of pain and suffering, and I felt very guilty." ”
Su Tong's heart twitched again, "People with a heart are calculating, and they can be prevented everywhere." ”
Mu Nian shook his head, "Although it is difficult to prevent a hidden arrow, I know that if I hadn't gone home to accompany my wife to give birth that day, she would not have been taken away so easily." ”
Su Tong understood what Mu Nian probably said was that Guanyun kidnapped her mother and imprisoned her in the palace, and gave her the double Gu of forgetting dust and love. But the most regrettable thing in the world is that these two words have not been repeated.
"General Mu doesn't need to blame herself too much, even if she dodges that time, there is no guarantee that there will be no second or third time. Su Tong thought that his mother had been hit by the Double Gu more than once, and his parents were killed by Guanyun, so he hated Guanyun even more.
Mu Nian listened to Su Tong's words and was silent for a while before he sighed very regretfully, "She is such a tough person, but she has been tricked by fate three or four times, hey......"
Mu Nian was very friendly to Su Tong, Xu was to make up for his debts, so that Su Tong felt if he knew his identity, but he really only seemed to know that he was Su Er.
After a day of rest, Su Tong knew that Mu Nian wanted to explore the situation on the border of Chu in advance, he would be able to speak Chu and then pretend to be a Chu person, and he would not be discovered, Mu Nian spent more than half a day telling him about the general defense of the Chu and Han borders, and the surrounding terrain was told to Su Tong in detail, and then he was instructed to act carefully and let him go.
Mo Fuqing wanted to follow, but was rejected by Su Ming on the grounds that it was convenient for him to act alone, and he would only return after a little probing.
