Chapter Eighty-Three: The Wolf Smoke Begins

Although Zhou Feng held an important position in the Pingxi Army, he was the prince's man.

Originally, when the deputy general of the Pingxi Army was selected, the initial candidate was not this Zhou Feng, but later it was Emperor Wei Chongdi who personally ordered Zhou Feng to serve as the deputy general.

After all, if King Xiang is given full control of this army, it will be very troublesome for the crown prince.

Zhou Feng has been in the Pingxi Army for a few years, although his power is not as good as He Xifeng, but he is also competing with him everywhere, and he will not let anyone with each other, plus he has worked hard for a few years, and he has indeed cultivated a group of henchmen in the army, these people are all princes, and they do not belong to King Xiang, so for King Xiang, it seems that he has mastered the military power of Wei, but there are many hidden dangers.

That Mei Jingting is also a person in the Pingxi Army, of course, he also knows about this Zhou Feng, and now when he hears King Xiang talk about Zhou Feng, he is also embarrassed, and after a pause, he said: "At least now, His Highness can't touch him yet." ”

When King Xiang heard this, his face showed a strange look, and after a long time, he said: "Conspiracy is invisible, and it is better than not fighting." ”

When Mei Jingting heard this, his heart tightened, and he asked, "Does Your Highness want to ......?"

"How about borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Under the dark night, the warm light emitted by the night pearl in the main hall hit Mei Jingting's solemn face, revealing a strange and quiet feeling, which made people shudder.

The days of peace and quiet are always short, and behind most of the idle days, there will always be one thrill and crisis after another, just like the calm ocean on the surface, but you don't know how many countless undercurrents and whirlpools are hidden under it.

After Wei Ziyang knew that he might serve as the chief general of the Wei army, he couldn't sleep for a few days, and he seemed to be a little scared in his heart, but he was also a little expectant.

Of course, in these few days, he can also detect a little unusual from the quiet atmosphere of Ya County, such as the strangers who have poured into Ya County in the past few days are more and more, which may be both Qin State secret agents, but also May be Great Wei secret agents, all in all, the seemingly peaceful Ya County has become the focus of attention of all forces, Ya County is the westernmost border of Great Wei, and it is also the front line of this Great Wei's attack on Qin. Then they had to go all the way west along the endless Dongshan Mountain Range, which was too difficult for the march.

In the past few days, Wei Ziyang has never seen anyone else except for the occasional meeting with Chen Yun'er, of course, he knows in his heart that the storm will come sooner or later.

That day will come.

Within a few days, Wei Ziyang finally waited for a piece of news.

He Xifeng has arrived.

-------------

Yaxian County Command.

At this time, it was late, the night wind was blowing, a new moon was slowly rising above the sky, and the streets of Yaxian County were quiet, including the long street where the Red Mansion Fang was located.

In the county mansion, Zhong Ying was standing quietly under the main hall, unable to say anything, his head was tightly lowered, and he didn't dare to look at the high hall at all.

And on the chair above the high hall, there was a young man in brocade clothes sitting at this time, the young man closed his eyes slightly, and from time to time a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't even pay attention to this clock.

After waiting for a long time, Zhong Yingcai said resignedly: "This ...... His Royal Highness King Xiang, who are you waiting for? ”

At that time, when he heard that there was a person claiming to be Yang Gongzi outside the door to visit, he didn't react for a while, and he just thought that it was the son of the Ya County who had committed a crime and wanted to come forward to solve it. If he knew that King Xiang had arrived half a month ago, he would probably be even more surprised.

The king of Xiang listened to Zhong County's words, but he was not busy replying: "Zhong County's order, this king asks you first, can you notice anything unusual in this Ya County recently?" ”

"Unusual?" Hearing this, Zhong Ying also began to think about what had happened in Yaxian County recently.

After a while, he arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, recently, nothing has happened in Ya County, it's just ....... It's just that recently, the number of guests from other places has suddenly increased, which makes the lower officials feel very strange. ”

When King Xiang heard this, he smiled slightly: "Yes, this king is here today for this purpose." ”

"Oh?" Zhong Ying heard King Xiang say this, and he didn't react for a while. Could it be that there are suddenly more people, what does it have to do with King Xiang?

King Xiang looked at Zhong County's order, and then said lightly: "Those are all the fine works of the Qin State, or my Great Wei's spies." ”

This cold sound was like thunder, and it exploded in Zhong Ying's heart, making Zhong Ying sluggish, as if he didn't hear what King Xiang had just said, and he was stunned in place.

"What...... What the? Qin State meticulously? When Zhong Ying heard this, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, his face was flushed, and then he knelt down with a "plop" sound, and hurriedly said, "This...... The lower officials don't know about this, and there is absolutely no collusion between the lower officials and the Qin State Detail, and I hope His Royal Highness will be aware of it. ”

The tone is very anxious, and the attitude is very sincere.

When King Xiang heard this, he also laughed dumbly, he just said a detailed question, that Zhong Ying thought that he suspected that he had colluded with the Qin State, and saw that Zhong Ying was still very nervous, shook his head and said lightly: "Zhong County Order, this king does not suspect that you are fornicating with the people of Qin, your loyalty, this king knows." ”

When Zhong Ying heard this, he was puzzled, and he couldn't help but raise his head and ask reluctantly, "That...... What His Highness said was ......"

When the king of Xiang heard this, he became serious and said to him: "I came to you to ask the county commander to explain to you a confidential matter of my Great Wei. ”

Then he told Zhong Ying that the action plan of the Great Wei was word for word, and the more Zhong Ying listened, the more sweat on his face became, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help frowning, and his eyes widened, as if he didn't believe it.

In fact, if other people talk to Zhong Ying about this, Zhong Ying will only think that this person is not a madman, full of nonsense, Great Wei is obviously going to attack that Nanliang, and he has been in Lujiang Chen for more than a month, how can he suddenly turn his head and plot against Xiqin in this pass? But he heard this from the mouth of King Xiang, so naturally he would not doubt the authenticity of this matter.

After being stunned for a long time, he hesitated and said, "That'...... I don't know what His Royal Highness can do. ”

The king of Xiang smiled, and then asked: "I don't know the order of Zhong County, how much grain and grass is there in this county?" ”

When Zhong Ying heard this, he was stunned, and then he was silent for a while, and said slowly: "The grain and grass in Yaxian County are left in the official mansion, and they can support ten thousand soldiers for about a month. ”

When King Xiang heard this, he nodded and said, "Coupled with the grain and grass carried by the army, it is enough to support us to finish this battle." ”

"My Great Wei expedition to Qin this time is to use Yaxian County as the base camp, so when the time comes, Zhong County Ling will have hard work to do."

When Zhong Ying heard this, he was a little scared in his heart, but also a little excited, this is the first time in his life that he has been an official for so many years and has to experience such a large-scale war. ”

"Hmm," King Xiang replied with a smile.

In fact, the purpose of coming to the county magistrate's mansion tonight is to tell Zhong Ying about this matter, so that this county magistrate of Yaxian can be a little prepared.

Suddenly, I heard a person walking in hurriedly outside the door, and King Xiang saw that it was his butler Guo Jiang.

After Guo Jiang walked in, he first saluted Zhong Ying, and then solemnly said to King Xiang: "Your Highness, General He has arrived. ”

King Xiang didn't react after hearing this, but this Zhong Ying's heart was like turning over the river and the sea.

"General He? He Xifeng? Thinking of this, Zhong Ying only felt a little illusory.
