Chapter 45: Sleepless Nights

It was late at night, the welcome banquet had already ended, and the soldiers had fallen asleep. It's just that tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Mo Feng and the others.

In Mo Feng's tent, Guo Jia and Mo Feng were discussing the topic of Mo Feng's conversation with Prince Ling Luotian today.

"Lord, if you have a good relationship with Prince Ling Luotian today, you will definitely not disappoint your lord. First, if we make friends with the prince, he will surely benefit our great cause one day. Second, it can also allow Prime Minister Bai Hua to restrain a little. ”

"Fengxiao, I know the first half of the sentence, but how do you say the second half of the sentence?" Mo Feng was strange, how could this friendship with Ling Luotian make Bai Hua jealous, he was Ling Luotian's teacher!

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, didn't you just say that this reward was proposed by Bai Hua?" ”

"Yes!" Mo Feng nodded, "That's exactly what I just said. ”

"That's it. Bai Hua's move, I'm afraid the most important thing is to balance his son Bai Wuye's military power, not let him be too prominent, and make him a thorn in Ling Tianmu's side.

Ling Tianmu had never liked martial arts, and the establishment of the Shengjie Army was also forced to do so. After that, isn't there another Guiyi army to counterbalance the victorious army?

It's just that the counterinsurgency battle caused the Guiyi army to suffer heavy losses, and in this way, this balance was broken. That's why we have this reward.

Let the army led by the general become an independent army, which can fill the vacancy of the Guiyi Army as soon as possible, even if the Guiyi Army replenishes personnel in the future, it will only be a tripartite situation, which can guarantee his son's military power even more. ”

"I see, I said, how could this Bai Hua be so kind."

"Well-intentioned, not necessarily! Jia also guessed another reason, but I haven't met Bai Hua yet, and now Jia knows all the things about Bai Hua, so it's hard to judge. Just wait for Chengdu, you will know. Now, Rong Jia will sell it first. ”

Guo Jia's attitude, Mo Feng also understands it, Guo Jia is good at speculating people's hearts, and it is normal to be cautious when encountering a scheming guy like Bai Hua.

"In that case, let's wait and see. It's just that Lu Mao and Zhang Jian were dragged in, and I'm really ashamed. ”

"Yes, although Jia has never gotten along with Lu Taishou, this General Zhang is indeed a man. It's just that our move doesn't hurt them, and if we think about it differently, it's just a matter of taking what they need. Moreover, if you say something unpleasant, you don't know what will happen in the future! ”

"This ......!" Mo Feng understood what Guo Jia meant, since he had already chosen that path and wanted to replace the Celestial Star Empire, then these courtiers of the Celestial Star Empire would be his potential enemies in the future. Although he has a very good relationship with Zhang Jian and Lu Mao now, and he has lived and died together, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future!

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I think my lord should know. When the lord and the crown prince Ling Luotian came here, I saw General Zhao go to the camp of the imperial historian Lodge alone, and I wanted to go with him, but I found that Lodge's personal guards were secretly following him. I didn't see a chance, so I didn't keep up. ”

"Is that so?" Mo Feng was puzzled, Uncle Zhao had always hated those civil officials under Ling Tianmu, and never took the initiative to talk to them. How could Uncle Zhao go to his tent for this imperial doctor!

"That's right, those Rocky's personal guards seem to be protecting him, and they seem to be on guard against someone following, I just don't see the situation right, so I didn't follow."

"It's better to be cautious. Only you know about this matter, and you must not let a third person know. With that, Mo Feng stood up, walked to the threshold of the rise and opened the tent, looked at the starlight in the sky and said: "Fengxiao, although the situation in this Canglan Continent seems very clear on the surface, we know the geometry of the waves in the dark!"

It's like the stars in the sky, shining brightly, but who can guarantee that these are all the stars, and maybe there are some stars that we can't see! ”

"No! Filial piety obeys! Guo Jia also stood up and arched his hand.

He has unreserved trust in Zhao Wutang just like Guo Jia and others, he has been like this before, and he will still be like this in the future, he will always be his Uncle Zhao. However, behind trust, there is also a need for a sense of security as the foundation. Today, Zhao Wutang's meeting with Rocky threatened his sense of security. It's also time to put his intelligence network on the agenda.

However, he still has one of the biggest problems that has not yet been solved: money.

If only there was money, then the intelligence network could be established very quickly. With the news, at least we can know what the relationship between Uncle Zhao and Na Rocky is, and there is no need to worry about it with a sad face like now.

It's a pity, I'm very poor now! Mo Feng thought more than once about wanting to establish an intelligence network, but the most rigid condition for establishing an intelligence network was money, and without money, nothing could be done.

But this money is what Mo Feng lacks the most at present, and the property he obtained when he hit Yizhou County was distributed to the soldiers, and he kept him a little bit. But what can you do with that little bit?

Mo Feng frowned, thinking about how to get the money, but Guo Jia thought that he was still thinking about what Zhao Wutang was doing in Rocky's tent, so he comforted: "Don't worry too much, my lord, there will always be a day when this matter will come to light." ”

For Guo Jia's kind comfort, Mo Feng smiled dumbly: "Fengxiao, I think you misunderstood." I didn't think about what Uncle Zhao was doing in the Imperial Doctor's camp, I was just thinking about the intelligence network. Why, didn't I mention it to you? ”

Guo Jia shook his head, he really couldn't keep up with the wild thoughts in his lord's head.

"Well, I had planned to form an intelligence network a long time ago. It's just that I've been following Uncle Zhao around the battle, and I don't have time to do this. Another reason is that I don't have any money. ”

Guo Jia was speechless, I'm afraid that no time is a statement, no money is true. Guo Jia knows very well what it takes to form an intelligence network, and a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested, and the source of all this is only one word: money.

"How rich is the lord?"

Mo Feng raised five fingers embarrassedly: "Five thousand dollars." ”

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, a dignified general of the Righteous Army, his entire net worth is only 5,000 yuan, who would believe it! Besides, what can you do with these 5,000 dollars, it's more than enough to go to an expensive restaurant for a meal.

"My lord, I heard from my brothers that I seemed to have made a windfall when I hit Yizhou County! Where's your money! ”

"It's all for the brethren!"

This, this Guo Jia really can't refute it. However, when he knew that he was going to use money, he could still spend it so generously, he really deserved to be his lord!

"My lord, today the prince has distributed fine wine and a banquet with all the soldiers, and it seems that the reward will be distributed tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's see how much there is in reward. If it's really not enough, you can borrow a little from Shixin and Wenqian. In this way, the money will not be there! ”

Listening to Guo Jia's suggestion, Mo Feng felt that he was so out of tune, a dignified lord wanted to ask his subordinates to borrow money, which was too shameless. How good it should have been to choose an economics major when I was studying in the past, but now I don't have to worry, there are ways to make money, but he chose history, and then found such a job, and now it's really hard not to cry.

"For now, that's all it takes. If you have money, you can first set up a restaurant in Chengdu. This restaurant is the best place to listen to information. ”

Guo Jia nodded, the restaurant, there can only be one restaurant. He really wants to open a green house, but the investment is too big. So, the restaurant is the only way now.

Mo Feng was discussing the formation of an intelligence network here, and in the camp of the crown prince Ling Luotian, Ling Luotian was summoning Zhang Jian, the general of Zhuti County.

"General Zhang, this prince heard from General Mo that Lu Taishou is very interested in the capture of the rebels in the three counties, but is there such a thing?"

"Prince, this is indeed the case. Speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with General Mo. Zhang Jian lay on the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head, he couldn't imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would summon him in the middle of the night.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Hearing that this captive was related to Mo Feng, Ling Luotian's interest was even greater. Originally, he summoned Zhang Jian late at night just because he wanted to inquire about the prisoners and use this to win over Lu Mao. Unexpectedly, he heard about Mo Feng again in his mouth, which made him curious.

"Here's the thing, after quelling the rebellion......" Zhang Jian knew that the matter of the barbarians was very important, and even the crown prince could not reveal it. Therefore, the most important part was hidden, and only about the disposition of the prisoners.

After listening to Zhang Jian's words, Ling Luotian was deeply shocked, he couldn't imagine that in addition to the art of war and strategy, Mo Feng was also so proficient in government affairs, he was really a great talent. It seems that it is not enough for me to encircle him during the day, and I should strengthen my entrapment of him.

"Okay, the prince already knows about it, Lu Taishou wants some prisoners to be used as county soldiers, which is also a move for the benefit of the country and the people, this prince will definitely write to his father, General Zhang will wait for the news with peace of mind!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince, thank you, Your Highness the Prince!" With the prince's assurance, Zhang Jian was more sure of this matter. Their gift-giving team from Zhuti County is about to arrive at the Lushui camp, and with the prince's assurance, the prisoner is nine out of ten.

"If there is nothing else important, General Zhang can retreat, and this prince will also rest."

Mo Feng and Ling Luotian still had someone to communicate with, but Zhao Wutang had to digest the news he got during the day alone, and the stakes were so high that even the generals under his command couldn't tell him now.

Looking in the direction of Liangzhou, his heart also flew over there at this moment. Years of waiting have finally paid off. If he could ignore all this, he would want to ride a fast horse and gallop to his side now. It's a pity that you still need to be patient now, but soon, you will see him soon.

The night was long, and Zhao Wutang couldn't help but recall the past. It would be nice to go back to the old days!
