Chapter 10. See from afar.
Just talk to Dongfang Hua about Lan Shi again. On the other side, in the city of Xiaoshe, after all kinds of things in Xiao Mangan's sect, he felt that he was safe, but after Wang Han and the officials left, he summoned the messenger sent by Zhang Yansheng.
Xiao Mo always felt that all kinds of things in Zhang Yansheng's letter had many more meanings than the implicit hint at the crisis.
When Deng Shangquan was summoned to summon the messenger, Xiao Mo took out Zhang Yansheng's secret letter again and read it carefully, while constantly thinking about whether there were loopholes in his various arrangements.
After the slice was cut, there was a knock on the door.
At the same time, there was also Deng Shangquan's voice.
"Young Master, Zhang Chengzhi's messenger is here."
Xiao Mo replied, "Let him in." β
As Xiao Mo's voice fell, the door of the study was pushed open, and Deng Shangquan came to Xiao Mo with a thin man.
The skinny man who saw Deng Shang's whole body. Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned.
It turned out that this messenger turned out to be an acquaintance, and it was Qin Jun, one of the three masters of the Chengxiang Mansion, the assassination master who had been guarding Zhang Yansheng's side!!
I didn't expect that for this secret letter, Zhang Yansheng would actually send Qin Jun, who never left lightly, after being slightly stunned, Xiao Mo was gone in an instant, Qin Jun was the top assassination master of the Chu Dynasty, and the art of latent invisibility was rare in the world, and it was foolproof for him to send the letter.
But on the other hand, such a move also shows that Zhang Yansheng attaches great importance to Mexin.
After Qin Jun stood still, his expression was as low-key and calm as ever, bowed slightly to Xiao Mo, and said in a low voice, "I've seen Lord Xiao." β
Xiao Mo stood up, Jizi helped Qin Jun up, and after ordering him to sit down, he sat down again, and then said with a smile: "But I didn't expect it to be Senior Qin." I haven't seen you for many days, how is Senior Qin? Brother Zhang, okay? β
Qin Jun lowered his head and replied slowly: "Thank you Lord Xiao for your concern, everything is fine in the next place, Gongzi has been leading the troops to fight these days, he has worked hard, he has been tired, and he has lost a lot of weight, but his body is well, his spirit is still strong, and Lord Xiao does not need to worry." β
Although the response seems calm and steady. But when he lowered his head and looked at it, Qin Jun, a martial arts master who had always been as calm as an ancient well, couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and a rare sense of emotion filled his heart.
He still remembered the first time he met Xiao Mo, when he followed Zhang Yansheng to Yunzhou. On behalf of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he made peace with Xiao Mo, who was just starting to show his edge, but he happened to make trouble on the street.
At that time, although Xiao Mo was already famous all over the world and became a generation of literary masters, his temperament still had a little immaturity and jerkiness, and his demeanor was far from being formed. Between dealing with Zhang Yansheng, although he was calm and calm, the tension and indecision in the depths of his expression could not escape Qin Jun's eyes.
However, now goodbye, Xiao Mo is already the grace and luxury of a person who has just appeared as a superior person, maybe it is really a place to move and raise a position, these days Xiao Mo controls the military and politics of one side, and holds the life and death of thousands of people. In just over a month, the original jerky and immature were all gone, and he was even more comfortable with his own response, as if the person sitting in front of him was not the world's top martial arts master, but just an ordinary subordinate, and between the conversations, it was vaguely that Qin Jun saw Wang Han, Zhang Qian, and the Eight Sages King Su Zi. has always been as arrogant as Qin Jun, but in front of Xiao Mo, he couldn't help but feel a little
Cautious.
Thinking of the rear of the battlefield, Zhang Yansheng's various changes in the past month, Qin Jun couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The battlefield is really the place where people can grow the most.
In fact, before the battle of Shangyuan City, every time Xiao Mo saw Qin Jun, especially when he knew that Qin Jun was one of the best assassination masters in the world today, he really couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, after the battle of Shangyuan City, there were no less than 100,000 people who died because of Xiao Mo. The blood corpses of life and death that Xiao Mo saw with his own eyes were countless, hovering between life and death all the time, which made Xiao Mo forget the horror of death.
And most importantly, having experienced war. After experiencing the party in power, Xiao Mo already deeply understands that the so-called martial arts masters and martial arts masters may be superior to ordinary people in personal strength, or they may be enemies of hundreds of people, but for those in power, no matter how strong a person's strength is, it is incomparably small, just a weaker person who is slightly stronger and has greater use value.
For example, Qin Jun, for today's Xiao Mo. There are countless ways to do this, as long as you want to. It can be trapped in a place of no return.
οΌοΌγ οΌ
And just when Qin Jun was thinking about Xiao Mo's transformation, Xiao Mo looked at Qin Jun for a moment, but then spoke again.
"I didn't expect Brother Zhang to personally send Senior Qin to deliver the letter, but I don't know if Brother Zhang has anything else to explain to me besides sending Senior Qin to deliver the letter?"
Qin Jun put away the thoughts in his heart, shook his head, and said, "The young master has no other arrangements except for sending the letter to the next, the young master once said. All his thoughts and thoughts were written in the letter. With the wisdom of Lord Xiao, he must be able to see it thoroughly. β
After hearing Qin Jun's answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xiao Mo's eyes, and he nodded and was about to say something, but he heard Qin Jun say again: "However, the young master also said that Lord Xiao has been fighting against the grassland alliance army in Shangyuan City these days. For the situation in the north of my Great Chu now, it must not be clear, and in the past few days, I have been following the young master to fight in the north, if Lord Xiao has anything you want to know, ask below, and you will definitely know everything below. β
After hearing Qin Jun's words, the corners of Xiao Mo's mouth unexpectedly showed a smile.
Zhang Yansheng really knew Xiao Mo very well, and knew that once it was a big deal, even if he said something, Xiao Mo would not believe it, so he simply said nothing but his worries secretly. Just let Qin Jun tell what he saw and heard. What kind of conclusion is there, let Xiao Mo speculate for himself.
Anyway, what Qin Jun said, the tens of thousands of soldiers led by Zhang Yansheng all went to understand, and Xiao Mo could easily find out in the future, and he couldn't fake it.
Thinking of this, "Gan Mo didn't say more." began to ask Qin Jun about this day, he and Zhang Danxin... All kinds of circumstances.
First, he asked Zhang Yansheng about the details of collecting the remnants of the northern Chu Dynasty and the difficulties he encountered. Then I learned about Zhang Yansheng's various achievements in the past few days, and just asked and answered, and soon, Xiao Mo asked about the encounter between Zhang Yansheng and the Eight Sages Wang Tian Zheng.
"Where did you and the Eight Sages meet? What was the situation then? β
Xiao Mo seemed to ask casually, but the concentration in his eyes and the slightly frowning brows already showed that he cared.
But Qin Jun seemed to be unaware, and still replied with his head lowered as before: "Lord Hui, we met the Eighth Prince at Sanhe City, when we had just captured Lingnan City, and after repairing for half a day, we went straight to Sanhe City. But it was found that the flags on the head of the city of Sanhe were all over the place, and the guards were heavily guarded, only the soldiers patrolling the city, under the rough calculation, there were no less than 1,000 people, and in the west of the city of Sanhe, there were three 10,000 people camps, and there were many martial law two for the first time to see such a large army. My son-in-law was also puzzled, after sending scouts to investigate, most of the surrounding garrisons were Chu people; But there are countless wild knights in bare-chested leather skirts inside, although the two sides are in the same place. Peaceful coexistence, but clear and vaguely hostile. Until afterwards, we found the military flag of the Eighth Prince. Only then did I understand that it was my own person. After observing the situation for another day, he joined the army of the Eight Sages. β
"What was the state of the army under the Eight Wise Kings at that time? Is there a tendency to be tired? What about the integration between them? β
Xiao Mo asked again.
Qin Jun replied: "Lord Hui, at that time, the army of the Eight Sage Kings had already rested a lot, and the integration was over. The army is in good shape, and there is no sign of fatigue. β
Xiao Mo nodded thoughtfully, but his eyes deepened and deepened.
According to what Qin Jun said, Three Rivers City was heavily guarded. There are three camps with a capacity of 10,000 people built next to it, and the army under his command has been fully integrated and rested. Obviously, this arrangement is not something that can be done in a short period of time, and it is conceivable that it has been at least three or five days since the Eight Sages King led his army to reach the Three Rivers City.
And in these days, the Eight Sages King knew that the grassland coalition army in front was raging, but not only did he not lead the army to kill the enemy, but instead stayed in Sanhe City, and he had the intention of waiting and watching the situation, but why?
If it is said that the reason why the Eight Sages King went deep into the grassland to kill the Quartet was just that he did not think of all kinds of consequences between his anger, or thought that the Chu Dynasty could not resist the grassland coalition army, and hoped that the grassland alliance army would bring back the army to help after getting the news and reduce the pressure on the Chu army in front, then why did he have to press troops in Sanhe City afterwards
Move?
After pondering the benefits, Xiao Mo asked again: "Are you saying that at that time, there were at least thirty or forty thousand troops in the hands of the Eighth Prince?" β
Qin Jun nodded and said: "At that time, the army under the Eighth Prince's command was not more than 30,000 or 40,000, after the Pingxing Pass was broken, the Eighth Prince's Lord led more than 3,000 remnants of the army into the grassland, and the general Liang Shou took nearly 20,000 troops to flee in the Pinggu, and afterwards the Eight Sages King returned to the pass, in addition to the 3,000 soldiers he brought with him, there were nearly 20,000 wild knights with him. And the general Liang Shou got the news out of nowhere, and soon gathered with the army of the Eight Sage Kings. After that, the Eight Sages King gathered everywhere like the young master of my family, and integrated the defeated Chu army in various parts of the north. Roughly calculated, it is at least fifty or sixty thousand. β
The general Liang Shou was born in a military family. was promoted by the Eight Sage Kings, and has risen to the top for more than ten years, but he is one of the spokesmen of the Eight Sages Kings in the army.
Xiao Mo nodded silently, and then asked, "Then, at that time, the army under the Eight Sages King. Which ones are located within Trois-RiviΓ¨res? And what are the settlements in the camps outside the city? β
Qin Jun replied: "Lord Hui, in addition to the three thousand elites who have been following the Eight Sages King, the army of some great generals Liang Shou at that time. and some of the warriors of the steppe savages, stationed in the city of Three Rivers, while the other soldiers were all settled in the camp outside the city. β
Hearing Qin Jun's words, Xiao Mo's eyes closed slightly, but a trace of essence flashed inside.
For the commander-in-chief, the difference between intimacy and alienation can be seen in the various arrangements for the garrison army. Generally speaking, the commander of the army will arrange the army of the most trusted general to be around him and in important positions, and the army of the less trusted general will be placed elsewhere.
And judging from the various arrangements of the Eight Sage Kings. It is only that the Eight Sages King trusts Liang Shou the most, but he is actually the trust of the grassland wild clan, and he is still above the other Chu armies, which makes people feel incredible before he is full.
"What about the relationship between the Eight Sages King and those steppe savages?"
With the last glimmer of hope, Xiao Mo finally asked.
However, Qin Jun's answer shattered Xiao Mo's last glimmer of hope.
"It's quite a tacit understanding, according to the young master's words, between the Eight Sages King and those wild clan leaders, they don't want to cooperate for a few times at all, as if they have known each other for a long time,"
Hearing this, Xiao Mo sighed secretly in his heart, and finally understood why Zhang Yansheng didn't dare to say all kinds of details.
In fact, regarding the relationship between the Eight Sages King and the grassland wild clan, Jiang Mo himself also had many doubts when he learned the news.
Although the grassland wild clan has a deep grudge with the four great clans of the grassland, but they understand the strength of the four great clans of the grassland, how can it be possible for the Qi clan to cooperate with the Eight Sages King to wash the grassland in blood, and finally form an indissoluble hatred with the four major clans? Could it be that they are not afraid of the retaliation of the four major clans afterwards?
It would be fine if only one or two of them were all landed, but the problem is that the entire wild clan of more than thirty people all made the same decision, which is incredible.
But if the Eight Sages King had already been in contact with the people of the wild tribe, and sent a large number of lobbyists and gave countless benefits before the steppe alliance officially invaded Chu, all these incomprehensions can be explained.
After asking for some more details, Xiao Mo asked Qin Jun to retreat.
After Qin Jun left, Xiao Mo turned his head to look at the scenery outside the study, but he unexpectedly remembered that when the Eight Sages King invited him to the Eight Kings' Mansion that day, when the two of them talked about the world's major affairs, the Eight Sages King was wise and decisive, resolute but lonely.
