Chapter 53 The lady is a virtuous helper

"General Nie, my 100,000 soldiers in Nanliang will be handed over to you. The general is brave and victorious, and I don't have to worry about that. But they are all brothers who were born and died with me, and I hope that the general will treat them well. ”

Su Mufei received Xia Zimo's letter of state, which talked in detail about his plan and the benefits that Nan Liang could get. It is a great benefit to divide the land of Chuyang equally, and it is a sure thing to get one-half of a country's land with the right to use 100,000 soldiers.

Since it is a profitable and loss-free deal, Su Mufei has no reason not to agree. So he ordered General Hua to deliver 100,000 soldiers to Great Qin, and let them accompany General Nie to relieve the crisis in the capital of Great Qin.

"General Hua, please rest assured." General Nie reassured, and said, "The soldiers left on the border by my Great Qin also rely on General Hua to take care of them. There is also Xiaoer Nie Jin, and there is also General Lao. ”

General Hua touched his beard and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, naturally, naturally." Nie Jin is no one else, of course General Ben has to take good care of it. ”

General Nie understood in seconds, and also laughed, and said: "General Hua should pay more attention to the children's affairs and create some opportunities for them." Our Nie family still doesn't have an eldest grandson. ”

"Haha, then General Nie is going to come to propose marriage earlier."

In this way, the two finalized the marriage of the children. And the parties are still unaware.

"I don't know what they talk about? I laughed so happily. Hua Peiru looked at the two old generals not far away and said.

"The two of them are of equal strength, and they are naturally happy when they meet opponents." Nie Jin said.

"Now shouldn't be the time to be happy, there is a civil strife in your Great Qin, and no matter which side wins, it will be a big loss of strength."

After Hua Peiru became a general, she learned the art of war since she was a child, so her military literacy is no less than that of a man.

"Nanliang also had a battle for the throne, isn't it okay now? As long as there is a good king, all problems are not a problem. And I, the king who believes in me. Nie Jin said.

The Nie family is loyal, but not stupid. Nie Jin's words are actually very reasonable, the reason why he thinks Xia Zimo will win is not because he is a king, but because he believes that victory will be on the side of justice.

King Chen's army was in a mess everywhere he went, the people fled, and the military discipline was chaotic and uncontrollable, and it had lost the hearts of the people. On the other hand, Xia Zimo is on the side. He stationed his troops outside the city, dug trenches, set up formations, and stepped up training, and the leaders of all sides were actively trying to deal with the battle. It can be said that they are united in their hearts and minds to fight the enemy together. A comparison between the two parties can see the difference.

"The rebels are getting closer, can the emperor get ready?" Qiu Luoxue asked Xia Zimo.

Xia Zimo took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything." As for the rest, it can only depend on the destiny of heaven. ”

"If Destiny were to let us die together, I would choose to accept this result with a smile." Qiu Luoxue said with a smile, her smile was as good as ever, with aura and playfulness.

"But until then, I'm going to fight and try to find a way to survive."

"You're so optimistic, I'm relieved." Xia Zimo said with a smile that their laughter was a comfort to each other.

"I heard just now that you and Lord Yan were discussing the issue of food and salary, haven't you solved it yet?" Qiu Luoxue asked again.

This question gave Xia Zimo a little headache, and he said: "The grain reserve is enough. But I feel that the most important thing for the two sides to go to war is the food issue. ”

"If the grain and grass can't keep up, there will inevitably be a problem of fatigue. So once there is a war, food will become a big problem. If I were King Chen, I would definitely find a way to destroy the granaries of the capital first, and then block all the passages for transporting grain, so that the city would not be breached. ”

Qiu Luoxue actually understood Xia Zimo's words, maybe they would have a heart and mind after being together for a long time. She said: "In this way, what the emperor is worried about is the question of where to place the food and salary?"

"That's right." Xia Zimo nodded and said, "The place where we store grain now is too obvious, if outsiders sneak into the capital, it will be easy to find a reserve point, and then it will be troublesome." ”

"There are really not many places that can hold so much food and have a safe place." Qiu Luoxue said.

The two fell into deep thought, which is indeed a tricky question. If it is not handled well, it is likely to lag behind. The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. It is enough to see the role of grain and grass in a battle.

"Ah, I figured it out." Qiu Luoxue had an idea, and suddenly had a clever plan.

"We can put the grain and grass in the Prime Minister's Mansion." Qiu Luoxue said, "In this year's time, you have built the Xiangfu into an airtight place. It is safest to put food in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Moreover, the Prime Minister's Mansion has shadow guards secretly guarding it, which is definitely stronger than the local troops, and if something goes wrong, it can be dealt with very well. ”

"Besides, if you're really unlucky enough to be discovered. You can let the forbidden army of the palace enter the Prime Minister's Mansion through the secret passage to support. No matter how bad it is, you can transport the food out of the tunnel. ”

Qiu Luoxue not only thought of attention, but also conducted a wave of analysis. Xia Zimo looked at her in surprise, feeling that she had changed a lot compared to before. But it's a good change.

"Yes, it's finally not the Qiu Prime Minister who eats and sleeps." Xia Zimo said with a doting smile.

Qiu Luoxue grimaced and said, "It wasn't like that, I was just too lazy to use my brain before." But now, this matter is related to my father-in-law, of course I will do my best. ”

Xia Zimo was very satisfied with the word Xianggong, and the smile on his face deepened. At this time, with a lover by your side, all the hard work is nothing.

"The lady is really a virtuous helper, it seems that I earned it." Xia Zimo said.

After Xia Zimo thought about it carefully, he felt that Qiu Luoxue's plan was feasible. He arranged for the soldiers who collected the granary to secretly transport the grain to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where the shadow guard was under the care. The soldiers guarding the granary will continue to guard the original place, and the patrol will not stop three shifts a day. This creates confusion for the enemy and makes them mistakenly believe that the grain is still in the granary.

And the prime minister's mansion, which actually stores grain, does not look heavily guarded at all from the outside, just like an ordinary official's mansion. The difference is that since Qiu Luoxue left the Prime Minister's Mansion, the gate here has been closed all day long, and everyone has ignored his existence for a long time.

The door was still closed, but there was a serious atmosphere inside. There are four guards guarding the outermost gate on the surface, but in fact, they are all masters of the shadow guards. In the walls and trees, there are many masters hidden. There are people patrolling the courtyard non-stop, and there are countless secret formations. People who are not familiar with the structure of this place come in, and there is almost no chance of survival.

Xu Zhonghang waited anxiously while thinking about how to send the news of the rebels to the capital. But when he came in, King Chen acted very rigorously, and it was unlikely that he would deliver the news. Chen Wang is sick and can't do without Xu Zhonghang, and the hope of delivering news is even more slim.

Xu Zhonghang now dispenses medicine every day and chats with Chen Wang about his condition, and there is nothing else to do. No, he's working on a prescription again.

However, although he was dispensing medicine, his mind was not on the medicine, but on how to deliver the message. His gaze fell on the herbs, and suddenly he thought of a solution.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Xu Zhonghang, who thought of the method, was a little excited.

"What did Imperial Doctor Xu think of? So happy. The maid happened to come to fetch medicinal herbs at this time, and when she saw Xu Zhonghang's face showing joy, she asked.

"Ah, it's not a big deal. It's just that I suddenly thought of a prescription that might help the prince's condition. Xu Zhonghang naturally disguised. After being an undercover agent for so long, he has learned to lie naturally and fluently.

The maid walked in and said with a smile: "Of course, it is a big deal to be able to heal the prince's condition." Congratulations to Imperial Doctor Xu, if you can cure the prince's illness, you will make a meritorious service. ”

"It's funny, it's all for the prince." Xu Zhonghang said.

"Then which recipe should I use to boil the soup today?" The maid asked.

Xu Zhonghang pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "Let's use the original recipe, I'll study the new one, and I can't change the medicine casually."

Xu Zhonghang quickly sent the maid away, and began to think about the steps of delivering the message. What he thought of letting go of was to buy medicinal herbs under the pretext of seeing if he could get in touch with outsiders. Chen Wang's illness is full of high-quality medicinal materials, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold. In addition, it is now in a period of chaos, and it is even more difficult to buy.

Xu Zhonghang thought about burning the remaining medicinal materials, and King Chen naturally had to find a way when he ran out of medicine. At that time, he said that there were such medicinal materials in the capital, and proposed to write a letter to Qiu Luoxue and ask her to find a way to transport some medicinal materials.

It's possible, but it's important to plan out to make sure nothing goes wrong. In the following time, Xu Zhonghang was thinking about how to act in his brain.

The first step in the plan is to destroy the herbs, and it is necessary to find a way that is not suspicious and reasonable. Xu Zhonghang looked at the oil lamp on the table and suddenly thought of a way.

If you want to do it seamlessly, you have to take a little risk. This time he was going to take his own life. After thinking clearly, Xu Zhonghang went out and said to the people outside: "I want to study a new prescription for the prince, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb."

After the arrangement, Xu Zhonghang began to act. He put the necessary herbs on the table that were not readily available on the market, and put a few medical techniques near them. Finally he knocked over the oil lamp on the table and watched the candle flame burn little by little.

That's right, all he had to do now was burn down the pharmacy so that the herbs would make sense to disappear. Chen Wang couldn't leave these medicinal materials for a day, and when the time came, he would inevitably find a way to find medicinal materials, so Xu Zhonghang would get the opportunity to pass on the news.

As for why Xu Zhonghang is staying in the prescription? Of course, in order to get rid of the suspicion of deliberately destroying medicinal materials, he even blocked his own life. Naturally, others will not doubt it. Even if someone really suspects Xu Zhonghang, it is difficult to come up with evidence for a while.

Watching the fire gradually spread to the medicinal herbs, Xu Zhonghang had a smile on his face.
