Mrs. Wa wanted to go out of the city to appease her subordinates, but Aman wanted to follow her uncle, and she didn't let go of her silent neck. Shen Mo said: "After all, the environment outside the city is not good, so let Aman follow me first." ”

Mrs. Wa was quite moved, she was a free and easy person, not as hypocritical as the Han people, so she nodded and agreed: "Then it will be troublesome." He said to Ah Man again: "Listen to the uncle, do you know?" ”

Ah Man nodded obediently, kissed Grandma Tian and said, "Ah Man is the most obedient." ”

Only then did the old woman relax and leave the city, surrounded by a group of guards.

When there was no trace of Grandma, Ah Man was a little lost, pursed his mouth, lay on Shen Mo's shoulder and did not speak, and asked with a silent smile: "Little Aman, what do you want to eat?" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she forgot her sorrow and said, "I want to eat a lot of good things." ”

Shen Mo laughed and said, "Then the uncle will take you to eat a lot of good things." He was about to take the little girl on the horse, but was stopped by Shen An and said, "My lord, please get on the sedan chair." ”

Shen Mo didn't pay attention to it before, but now he saw that there was a velvet green sedan chair at the door, and four sedan chair drivers were waiting in front and back. He wondered, "Where did this come from?" ”

Shen An said with a smile: "This is your official sedan chair, which was sent by the officials of the governor's yamen when you went in just now." ”

Shen Mo frowned and said, "It's good to ride a horse." ”

"My lord is a civil official, what kind of system does it become to ride a horse in the city," Shen An said seriously: "It will make people gossip." ”

"You have a lot to do," Shen Mo laughed and scolded, but he no longer insisted, he put Xiao Aman into the sedan chair, beckoned to call the iron pillar over, and commanded in a low voice: "You bring a few capable men, each with two horses, follow Hu Zhongcheng's team, once the battle situation is clear, return quickly." ”

Tie Zhu received the order in a deep voice, and was just about to leave, but was grabbed by Shen Mo's wrist, he looked back, and saw that the adult's face was unprecedentedly serious, so he heard Shen Mo say softly but clearly: "Time is everything, you must use the fastest speed, at all costs." ”

Tie Zhu immediately felt that the responsibility was on his shoulders, and he nodded vigorously, and set off with a few of his best subordinates.

Yes, Shen Mo is ready to make a speculation, he wants to bet on the winner or loss of this next battle. If the bet is right, he will no longer have to worry about being easily given up, he can sleep steadily, read his books, and live a peaceful life in a few days. If you make a mistake, the end will be no different for speculators, and it will be tragic...... When he heard the news that Zhou Fu hastily gathered his troops and set off to pursue the Japanese Invaders, his first reaction was that this battle would be lost. Because he had an in-depth observation of the Japanese Koukou, he knew that they were not regular troops after all, and when they retreated, there was no such thing as a palace or a broken back, but they ran in front of the strong, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were left behind. Therefore, he felt that Cao Bangfu and they were unlikely to attack the main force of the Japanese Invaders, maybe they had stabbed a hornet's nest, how did the art of war say 'return to the master and not be stopped, and the poor should not be forced', especially in the face of a strong enemy whose strength was not damaged, even more so.

Obviously, Wang Jiangjing's victory made the civil and military generals underestimate, and if Zhou Fu and Hu Zongxian led people to catch up at this time, they would probably be stung all over the place.

But he didn't tell his judgment, because Zhou Hui wouldn't listen to his unfounded assumptions; Second, an impulse surged in his heart - to gamble on this! He wants to make himself really important, to be a figure that no one dares to take lightly.

How sure were you of it, he asked? If it's more than sixty percent, then let it go. Then tell yourself, "Go ahead and do it." He felt that he couldn't plan and act anymore, for a little butterfly like him, who had to know everything later, planning and acting was equivalent to being passive everywhere! It's a terrible feeling! followed the impulse in his heart, closed his mouth, and took the hot potato of the wolf and earth soldiers.

He was going to get on good terms with the leaders of the wolf soldiers these days, and make a big deal of bad promises to them. After Zhou Xuan's army is defeated, he will naturally realize the preciousness of these wolf soldiers, and then unite with Hu Zongxian to ask Governor Zhou for money and food, and it will not be so difficult. As soon as the money was disbursed, all his blank cheques were cashed...... At that time, in the eyes of Mrs. Wa and the Peng family's father and son, all of this is due to him Shen Xun, and naturally he will only look at his horse in the future, and will not listen to others again.

I remember that in Shen Lian's recital of impeachment of Yan Song, the second charge listed was: 'Steal the power of the king, and make a guest.' The court rewarded one person and said, 'I will reward him,' and punished one person, saying, 'I will punish him.' Everyone serves the love and dislike of the Yan family, but does not know the grace and power of the court. "Silence also has a similar meaning, that is, I want the wolf soldiers to 'serve him Shen Clumsy's love and dislike, but he doesn't know the grace and power of the government. ’

It was only when the bet was placed and he sat in the trembling sedan chair that he finally couldn't help but be afraid, and began to suffer from gains and losses: 'If I make a mistake in judgment and the army returns victorious, how will I end?' ''If my army suffers too many losses as a result, or even if it is completely annihilated, what will I have in peace?'' His mood was up and down, and his complexion was cloudy, and he forgot that there was a cute little girl beside him.

Ah Man really didn't want to disturb the uncle, but he could see that his eyes were slightly closed, and his face was pale and terrifying, so he couldn't help but be afraid, so he used her fluffy braid to gently rub on Shen Mo's face.

Shen Mo felt an unbearable itch on his cheeks, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Aman looking at him with a worried face, and said cautiously: "Uncle, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Shen Mo was thinking about how to answer, but he saw Ah Man slip down from the seat, gently waved the two small white fists, and beat his waist and legs very seriously.

Shen Mo was surprised: "What is this doing?" ”

Xiao Aman stopped what he was doing, raised his little face, and said very seriously: "When Grandma is uncomfortable, Aman will beat her, and every time Grandma says it works." After speaking, he continued to pound very seriously and attentively.

The silence was irrepressibly moved. The heart, which was a little dry and numb because of too many calculations and paradoxes, seemed to be moistened by the spring rain, and began to feel warm and numb, and countless shoots quietly grew out, giving him strength again.

Having embarked on this most treacherous path in the world, I cannot turn back. I had to grit my teeth and go all the way and make decisions one by one, right and wrong, leading to results, good and bad. I will gain a lot and lose a lot, but in any case, there are two things that I must never discard, and that is my conscience and my ideals.

Shen Mo is not a politician like Yan Song after all, he can't just sit back and watch his own army in danger just for his own future, so after some ideological struggle, he decided to revise the plan, but he asked for a clear conscience.

He instructed Shen An to stay in the post house, and he must take good care of Aman, and wait for him to come back in two days.

"Young master, are you going out?" "Uncle, are you going out?" The two of them asked in unison.

Shen Mo pinched Aman's smooth and delicate little face, and said with a smile: "Your uncle and uncle outside the city have nothing to eat, so uncle has to find food for them." ”

Ah Man nodded and said, "Ah Man will be very well-behaved...... but he can't laugh.

Shen Mo knew that this child was left twice today, and his little heart must have been very hurt, so he squatted down and hugged Ah Man and said, "Uncle will be back soon, and as soon as he comes back, he will take you to eat all the benefits of Hangzhou, okay?" ”

"Hmm......" Ah Man nodded obediently, kissed him softly on his cheek, and whispered: "Uncle, Ah Man doesn't like Shen An." ”

Shen Mo thought about it, and handed it over to this guy who was out of tune, he really didn't feel at ease, so he instructed Shen Andao: "In this way, you send Aman to Qingcui and let her help take care of it for a few days...... You know where she is, right? ”

"I know, I know, isn't it Baotongyuan's women's clothing store." Shen An's eyes were full of peach blossoms and said, "Young master, don't worry, I promise to send my aunt and grandmother, and then I will stare there every day." ”

Shen Mo smiled and scolded: "I think you are staring at other people's female guests to be true." He got up and instructed the two more honest soldiers: "You two also stay, look at Se'an, don't let him embarrass me." ”

The two soldiers smiled and said, "Don't worry, if he is not honest, we will gelding him." ”

Shen An said with a bitter face: "I'm not an animal. ”

"You're a two-legged animal." scolded silently, pinched Aman's cheeks, and said with a smile: "Let's go." Ah Man held his mouth and wanted to cry: "Uncle deceives people...... "Then he burst into tears."

Silently deserted, he fled and went out of the city.

At this time, the wolf soldiers had already received news from Mrs. Wa, and they went back to the camp for dinner. Shen Mo knew that the soldiers stationed in the east and north of the city were Guangxi soldiers, and the Yongtu soldiers in the west and south of the city were stationed in Xiangxi, of which the Yongshun soldiers led by Peng Mingfu and Peng Yinan's father and son in the west of the city; To the south of the city were the Baojing soldiers led by Peng Xinchen and Peng Shouzhong.

After a little thought, Shen Mo went straight to the Yongshun barracks in the west of the city.

At the gate of the camp, a few native soldiers wearing pipa shirts and green silk headbands stopped him with spears, and said in a silent voice: "Go in and spread the word, and it will be said that the people who have brought food and salary to the Tujia brothers have come." ”

The soldiers saw that he was dressed in the clothes of a big official, where did he dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran in to report, and after a while, the father and son of the Peng family ran out and saluted: "The business is coming, and it is not welcome." ”
