Chapter 17 Strike the blacksmith and make the swordman
There is more than one road from Yangba to Mengzhou, but there is only one official road, because the light car is simple, in order to avoid encountering the Tianwei Tianwu army that was defeated back in the direction of Mengzhou, Li Congjing had to copy the trail under the leadership of the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department.
After the Battle of Yangba, Li Congjing asked Li Shaocheng to take the Hundred Battles Army to escort the captured Liang army back to Huaizhou, and he took twenty gentlemen and went straight to the direction of Mengzhou. With the changes in the war, the center of gravity of the battlefield has now shifted to Mengzhou, and Li Congjing naturally has to rush over to take command.
All the way to the east of Mengzhou thirty miles away.
There are many rivers in the land of Huaimeng, which is located in the upper reaches of the Tanshui River, the terrain of the canyon, a small basin outside, many dense forests on both sides, and the mountains are not high - in fact, the mountains in the land of Huaimeng are not high. The warm sunshine in spring is scattered in this mountain and river, and the golden one has a unique style, which is very literary and romantic.
There is a small village nearby, the smoke is curling, although the houses are not big or even quite simple, the earthen walls are mottled, and the thatched roof is a little thin, but the children running in the village, the roosters and dogs barking from time to time, still make this village full of human flavor and warmth.
By the river, Zhao Xiangyao, who was sitting on the river beach, looked at the village attentively, motionless for nearly half an hour, as if he had lost his soul. Pi Dacheng looked at him worriedly.
The appearance of the two of them is like you standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery, and the people in the scenery are looking at you from upstairs.
"Second master......" Pi Dacheng couldn't help but call Zhao Xiangyao softly.
Zhao Xiangyao came back to his senses and sighed, his thin face was full of loneliness, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "In this place, there must have been a romantic love story." ”
Pi Dacheng was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Why?" ”
Zhao Xiangyao stood up, closed his eyes and opened his arms, took a deep breath, and said very devotedly: "Because the air is full of the smell of lovers." ”
Pi Dacheng looked left and right, he only had thousands of soldiers stationed here in his eyes, and he really couldn't understand Zhao Xiangyao's logic, he shook his head, but asked in a ghostly manner: "Who is the second master's lover?" ”
"Of course it's a big ......" Zhao Xiangyao opened his mouth very naturally, and only realized something when he said it, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Pi Dacheng angrily, "Your mother's Pi Dacheng dares to take the words of the second master?!" ”
Pi Dacheng waved his hand again and again, indicating that he was very innocent, and said, "Second master, you haven't said it yet, you haven't come out." ”
Zhao Xiangyao snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, his eyes fell on the village again, his eyes were instantly full of memories, and asked Pi Dacheng: "Do you think that this village is very similar to the village under the cottage at the beginning?" ”
Pi Dacheng stared at the village very seriously and effortlessly for a while, and finally shook his head very honestly, "It's not like it at all!" ”
Zhao Xiangyao turned his head and glared at Pi Dacheng angrily, wanting to get angry, but after brewing for a long time, he finally held back, sighed, and said, "How can you understand the feelings of the second master with such a rude guy?" ”
Pi Dacheng sniffed when he heard this, thinking that there are no feelings in your heart, and there is clearly only a lover.
At this time, a group of more than 20 horsemen galloped from a distance, and after a while, a cavalry immediately rushed to the entire army station: "The commander has arrived!" ”
Zhao Xiangyao and Pi Dacheng both stood up and saluted Li Congjing in the distance from a hundred and ten steps. Zhao Xiangyao looked at Li Congjing intently for a long time, and said: "The military commander is so high-spirited, obviously the battle of Yangba has been won. Three thousand won and 12,000, the military commander really deserves to be a real man! ”
Pi Dacheng looked at him strangely and asked, "The military commander has won a big victory, why does it sound like the second master is not happy at all, and he is extremely disappointed?" ”
"No, you're wrong!" Zhao Xiangyao turned around, looked at Pi Dacheng and said very seriously, "I'm happy, but I'm also disappointed." ”
"Why is it lost?" Pi Dacheng asked.
Zhao Xiangyao walked to the big tent and said in an inexplicable tone: "It's all said, you won't understand the feelings of the second master." ”
Zhao Xiangyao stopped outside the big tent and stood waiting for the summons.
In the big tent, Li Congjing walked to the back of the general press, took off the bracer, looked at Meng San in front of him, and asked with a smile: "Everything is going well?" ”
"Returning to the military commander, according to the order of the military commander, after the right wing army of 3,000 people left Huaizhou, they marched day and night, arrived here a few days ago and stationed here, widely distributed rangers, controlled the surrounding people and pedestrians, and ensured that the whereabouts of the army were hidden!" Meng San straightened up and replied, "As of this time, there are no accidents!" ”
"Okay, you're doing a good job on this march." Li Congjing sat down, took the hot water sent by the sergeant and took a sip, "Go down, I'll call you if I have something." If someone from the MI is here, pass him in. ”
Meng San was ordered to retreat, and Zhao Xiangyao immediately opened the tent and came in.
"Zhao Xiangyao, the commander of the Military Intelligence Department, has seen the military marshal!" Zhao Xiangyao bowed in a proper manner.
Li Congjing had been on the road for most of the day, had not eaten, and when he arrived at the big tent, he ordered a military meal, and was beginning to bury his head in eating, when he saw Zhao Xiangyao coming in, he motioned to the position next to him, "Sit down and talk." ”
"How things are going in Mengzhou, let's talk about it roughly." Li Congjing said.
Zhao Xiangyao glanced at Li Congjing a few times, the other party's action of eating was not half elegant, and even a little rude, as if the food had an enmity with him, and he couldn't be happy if he didn't eliminate it quickly, he said softly: "Two of the five commanders of the Heyang Army have died, Huangfu Shao and Luo Daming are fighting inwardly, Li Youcai took the opportunity to reap the benefits, and after the news of the commander's victory is transmitted back to Mengzhou, everything will go according to plan." ”
"I've seen the plan made by the Military Intelligence Department this time, and I'm very careful in the selection of characters, and there is no problem in general." Following the action of nodding, Li Congjing swallowed a mouthful of food, made up another mouthful of soup, and continued: "The purpose of contacting Li Youcai is to prevent Huangfu Shao from rebelling, so that he can unite the forces in the city as a assassin and open the gate of Mengzhou; But if Huangfu Shao had made up his mind to kill people with a knife and cross the river and demolish the bridge from the beginning, he was afraid that when things became clear, the Military Intelligence Department would have no chance to get rid of him, and then he would reverse black and white and shake out the news that I had sent someone to kill the commander of Heyang, I was afraid that it would lead to the hatred of the Heyang army. ”
"Once Mengzhou can't be captured, the Tianwei Tianwu Army will come back to help, which will be annoying." After Li Congjing summed up this sentence, he finished eating.
Zhao Xiangyao thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Congjing was reasonable, and finally changed color, and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be dangerous to be a big boss in Mengzhou?" ”
"It's dangerous." Li Congjing nodded.
Zhao Xiangyao was furious, slapped the case, and shouted: "Li Congjing! You know that there is a hidden danger in this trip, why didn't you explain it in advance? So much so that the sharp soldiers of our military intelligence department are now in a dilemma, what is your intention?! ”
Zhao Xiangyao's anger and rudeness did not anger Li Congjing, he waved his hand to let Zhao Xiangyao sit down, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't see the hidden danger at the beginning, I am not a god, and I only thought of it on the way here." So many of you in the MI still haven't seen it, if you want me to think clearly, at least give me some time, right? ”
Li Congjing's words made Zhao Xiangyao feel very reasonable, but emotionally, he was unwilling to give up holding Li Congjing responsible, and said unconvinced: "You are a military commander, it is your duty to see everything clearly!" ”
Li Congjing was stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Xiangyao to say such a sentence, he also felt that it was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it, realizing this, he even began to reflect seriously.
Lin Ying on the side couldn't stand it, he spoke for Li Congjing: "The affairs of Mengzhou are the task of the Military Intelligence Department, and it is the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Department to do it well, and it is the dereliction of duty of the Military Intelligence Department to do it badly. If so, what does the commander want your military intelligence department to do? ”
Lin Ying's words made Li Congjing and Zhao Xiangyao stunned.
Li Congjing felt that what he said was also very reasonable.
Since everyone has a point, then things are simple, and solving the problem is the key.
How to fix it?
Li Congjing remembered Mo Li's tips. He quickly pulled it out and opened the first bag.
A few columns of words: The trip to Mengzhou of the Military Intelligence Department, there are omissions in the plan.
Seeing this, Li Congjing couldn't wait to call Mo Li over, and then pulled him out and slashed it with a knife - knowing that there was an omission, why didn't he say it earlier?
Continue to look down: Before joining the commander of the Military Intelligence Division, he is well aware of the high expectations of the military commander for the Military Intelligence Division, but the Military Intelligence Department must live up to the high expectations, must be able to deal with all situations independently, and must meet the needs of the military commander for the general development of the situation. Having left office, there should be no more finger-pointing at MIA, otherwise MIA will not be able to become a truly independent and useful place.
Between the lines, Li Congjing realized Mo Li's intentions.
Mo Li went on to write: The ambition of the military commander is great, and the responsibility of the military intelligence department is so heavy that it cannot learn from the price of blood, how can it grow rapidly? How deep is the feeling of leaving the order of the commander of the army and single-handedly creating a military intelligence department, but is his personal emotion not small compared to the great cause of the military commander? Away from a piece of hard work, I hope the military marshal will understand.
However, in the matter of Mengzhou, the military intelligence department can have a lesson, but the city cannot but be taken, so for this reason, it is a plan to dedicate ......
At this point, the solution is followed.
After reading what Mo Li said in the bag, Li Congjing sighed, the creation of the Military Intelligence Department was his handiwork, but the purpose of his establishment of the Military Intelligence Department was to use it. Mo Li is different, he once single-handedly set up the Military Intelligence Department, which was more thoughtful than Li Congjing's consideration for the Military Intelligence Department, because he could also be the first to see the flaws in the Military Intelligence Department's plan for this trip.
One is the one who strikes iron, and the other is the one who wields a knife.
The MI seems to be omnipotent and fruitful, but behind the glamour, the price paid is unimaginable to outsiders.
Putting away the bag, Li Congjing pondered for a while, and when he raised his head, he didn't say anything because of Zhao Xiangyao's eager gaze, but called Meng San and asked about another thing: "How is the battle situation in Jian Shanzhai?" ”
"Today's battle report, the Liang army is attacking very urgently, and Jing Renzhong and Ding Mao are working very hard." Meng San replied, "The two commanders said that they will live up to the trust of the commander. ”
Li Congjing nodded, "Tell them to implement the second plan if necessary." ”
After arranging all this, Li Congjing stood up and called Zhao Xiangyao up, "Go and solve the problem of Mengzhou." ”
