Chapter 203: A Terrible Guess
Bet?
This little girl actually wants to bet with herself?
Dingbei Hou snorted coldly, although he didn't nod, he didn't open his mouth to refuse.
What to bet on?
He gestured with his eyes raised.
An Lingsu looked at him and smiled meaningfully.
"Hou Ye, if the juniors can mobilize the soldiers here with this talisman and repel the 100,000 barbarian iron cavalry outside the city within three days, then please ask the Hou Ye to also promise the juniors that no matter what the circumstances are in the future, you can't order the city gate to be closed tightly, so that the Yanbei army refuses to fight. How?" she said.
When Dingbei Hou heard this, his eyes suddenly shrank.
What? He heard him right, right?
How dare this girl say that she will repel the 100,000 barbarian horsemen outside the city within three days?
Does she know how ferocious and difficult the barbarians' iron horsemen really are?
What's more, now it is a time when people in Qingzhou City are panicked and the enemy is outnumbered!
This girl, where did she get such confidence?
What a fearlessness for those who don't know!
Under Dingbei Hou's eyes, a sneer flashed quickly.
"Okay, Ben Hou should go down. The Marquis of Dingbei responded in a deep voice, and then arched his hand slightly at Hu Bugui, and with a cold face, he brushed his sleeves away.
Hu Bugui glanced at the two professors with a solemn face.
This Dingbei Hou actually ignored the two professors of the academy so much, what did he want to do!
An Lingsu also narrowed his eyes slightly.
This time, Dingbeihou's attitude seems to be different from before.
"General Hu," she couldn't help but look up and ask, "Is there anything unusual about the recent situation in Qingzhou City?"
What kind of anomaly?
Hu Bugui frowned slightly.
"If it's abnormal, it's certainly there. After all, the 100,000-strong army of the barbarians was about to descend on the city, and the situation in the entire Qingzhou City became very tense. Plus ......" Hu Bugui said here, sighing heavily.
"Miss An, this battlefield has been fought so far, and the tragedy of it cannot be understood by those who have not been on the battlefield. What's more, now that the barbarians are counterattacking, the soldiers on both sides have already fought bloody...... In Qingzhou City, even ordinary people and merchants have a faint premonition, and some people are panicked. ”
Merchants and people?
An Lingsu's mind flashed with a flash of spiritual light.
"General, according to what you mean, have a lot of people and merchants returned to the Central Plains region recently?" she asked, a faint glint flashing in her eyes.
"Yes, there are a lot. Hu Bugui nodded, and added, "It's just that, even so, there are still a lot of merchants who have rushed over from the Central Plains piecemeal. Miss Ann, what are you asking for?"
The 100,000 iron cavalry of the barbarians are about to descend on the city, and when the time comes, Qingzhou City will definitely be surrounded by iron. But even so, there are still people rushing to Qingzhou City at this time?
It seems that this war wealth is really enough to move people's hearts!
An Lingsu sighed, and then continued, "General, there is an important matter at the moment, and you still need your help, General. ”
Speaking of this, An Lingsu bowed and said very sincerely, "I also ask the general to send someone to investigate in detail those merchants who have entered the city in the near future, and be sure to check the bottom of the day." ”
Check out the merchants?
Hu Bugui has been on the battlefield for a long time, not only knows the cruelty of war, but also knows that since ancient times, on the battlefield, those selfish tricks are indispensable, and he immediately thought of something, and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Miss An, do you suspect that among the merchants who have recently entered the city, there have been spies of the barbarians, and those spies are likely to be related to the Marquis of Dingbei?" Saying this, Hu Bugui waved his hand a little excitedly, as if to say to himself, "No, it can't be. The Tang family has guarded northern Xinjiang for many years, and has fought countless battles with the barbarians, and countless relatives and friends have died at the hands of each other, and they have already become out-and-out mortal enemies. It is impossible for Tang Rui to collude with the barbarians!"
Speaking of this, Hu Bugui couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Miss An, don't you know that although many people will die in this war, there are also countless business opportunities hidden in it. Every time a major war comes, there are some merchants in this battlefield, looming in it. After all, there are some things that our military is not easy to meddle in, but we need those merchants to deal with. So, this is also a helpless thing. ”
After all, soldiers also need to eat, dress, and comfort their relatives and friends who died on the battlefield.
But the court's reward can't be sealed for a while...... Even if the reward is given, how much is left in the hands of the soldiers?
Therefore, in the face of those merchants who made a lot of war money, the commanders on the battlefield could only turn a blind eye.
Therefore, Hu Bugui has never carefully verified the merchants who have recently entered the city.
In addition, he has always been in the southern forest border army, and he is not familiar with the things in the north, let alone know the details of those merchants.
An Lingsu sighed.
"General, you misunderstood me. She said calmly, "I can understand those warmongers who have made a lot of money. I asked you to help you investigate the details of those merchants, and it is true that I suspect that there are spies among them, but they are not barbarian spies. ”
After all, the barbarians are very different from the Central Plains in appearance, if there are really barbarians mixed into the city, without the soldiers of the patrol battalion, the people in the city should also be able to find out. And the people of Qingzhou have always been very hostile to barbarians, if they found the barbarians in the city, I am afraid that they would have rushed up and killed them directly.
So, she suspected that something else was going on!
General Hu also understood what she meant at this time.
"Miss An, who are you suspicious of?" he asked directly, his face ugly and terrifying.
An Lingsu sighed, "General, I won't tell you, I always feel that the attitude of the Tang family is a little strange. Think about it, before this, the process of tearing the skin between the Tang family and the imperial court was too fast? Therefore, I suspect that there is some agreement between the Tang family and the imperial court. Or rather, did some people promise Tang Rui any benefits? ”
Let's ask, here, the Yanbei army is fighting with the barbarians, over there, how can the imperial court tear up the skin with the Tang family at this time?
Besides, the Tang family, are they really willing to suffer from the enemy?
What's more, now the Tang family not only ordered the sixteen states of Yanbei to close the city gates and refuse to fight, but also refused to give the face of the academy.
Isn't that weird?
Hu Bugui has long been suspicious of this.
It's just that if this matter is carefully scrutinized, wouldn't the truth be amazing!
Because, the only person who can make the Tang family make this decision is that person, who sits in ...... The man on the dragon chair!
Only he has this possibility!
But that person is the lord of the world!
Could it really be that he and the Tang family reached a secret agreement to let the Yanbei army let the barbarian iron horses enter the pass to harm his own people!
No, it can't be!
Hu Bugui can't imagine it, let alone accept it!
