Pei Yinghou listened to Han Mo's inquiry, his expression immediately became solemn, and said: "My lord, there is a rule in the flower hall, that is, military affairs are not recorded, so among these intelligences, the affairs of the northwest are not recorded!" ”

Han Mo frowned and said, "You mean to say that the military situation in the northwest has changed?" ”

Pei Yinghou nodded and said, "Exactly." According to reliable information, more than a month ago, the Western Wei Dynasty began to gather troops to the new city of Suiding County, and it was mainly cavalry, and by the tenth day of the fifth month, 40,000 troops had been gathered in the new city, half of which were cavalry, and the famous general Sima Qingtian of the Wei State was said to have arrived in the new city! ”

"Map!" Han Mo said immediately.

Pei Yinghou seemed to be prepared, took out a map from his sleeve, and opened it on the large table spread out on Han Mo...

This is a map of the territory of the four kingdoms of the Central Plains, and the twenty-six counties of the four kingdoms are all divided, and the cities of each county are clearly marked.

Suiding County is the closest county to the east of Wei State, and closely borders Nanyang County of Qing State, which is the large county of Qingguo that separates Wei and Yan.

Nanyang County is bordered by Suiding County of Wei State in the west, and Linyang County of Yan State in the east, that is, the state and county where the Hu family is located.

There are two cities in Suiding County, and the one close to Nanyang County is the new city.

Han Mo frowned and looked at it, and muttered, "Does Wei Guo's actions indicate that they want to attack Nanyang County?" There has been no war for many years, why did Wei suddenly act again this time? ”

Pei Yinghou thought for a while, and then said softly: "There has been no war in the past few years, the horse farm under the Great Snow Mountain of Wei is extremely prosperous, fat and long-legged, and in recent years, it has also been smelting iron and copper on a large scale, secretly trading, and has also stored a large number of war materials...... The most important thing is that the Wei State has always been worried that when they send troops to the Qing State, the feud Feng State may bite them in the back, and they have not acted rashly... But recently I got the news that there seems to be chaos inside the Wind Country, it is said that there have been a few fights in the Eight Great Villages of the Wind Country, and they are too busy to take care of themselves, so it is naturally impossible to have the energy to move the Wei State, so the Wei State has only shown signs of making a big move! ”

Han Mo held his chin and was silent for a moment before he said, "What is Qingguo's reaction?" ”

"Qingguo has also begun to transfer troops to Nanyang County to strictly prevent the ...... of the western frontline!" Pei Yinghou said slowly: "The two sides are tense, and there is a possibility of fighting at any time......!" After a pause, he continued: "General Xiao is on the Western Front, I'm afraid he is also worried that once they start a war, it will affect the dynamics of Linyang County, so he went to the town in person!" ”

The northwest camp of Yan Kingdom, from the first line of Wu County in the east, stretches for nearly a thousand miles to the west of Linyang County, and the main defense is Qingguo.

Han Mo stared at the map and looked at it for a long time before he said, "What is the situation with Shang Zhongli, the holy general of Shangjing?" Can he rush to Nanyang County? ”

"There's no news of him!" Pei Yinghou immediately said: "Now that the two ** teams are assembled in the border area, it seems that the war is about to break out, but there is no news of the big war for the time being...... Now the chief general of the Qing Army on the western front of Nanyang County is one of the three beast generals under Shang Zhongli, the Tiger Thunderbolt Lin Chengfei! ”

Speaking of which, Pei Yinghou had already presented a small booklet, Han Mo took it and looked at it carefully...

This is the general situation of Lin Chengfei investigated by the West Flower Hall.

Lin Chengfei, when he was Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, good at swordsmanship, born poor, born in a family of Orion, joined the army at the age of nineteen, I don't know why, at the age of twenty-four, he became a personal guard by Shang Zhongli's side.

After that, he won the weight of Shang Zhongli, taught the method of marching and arranging the formation, rose step by step, and had several small border frictions with the Wei State, Lin Chengfei made a lot of contributions, and gradually had his own status in the Qing ** world.

At the age of twenty-nine, he entered the post of general and was called the "Tiger Thunderbolt", ranking among the "Three Beast Generals" under Shang Zhongli!

For Lin Chengfei's intelligence, it is concise and clear, and the character analysis summarized above at the end is brave and bold, admitting death, but on the battlefield, he has an extremely flexible military mind...

"Qingguo is also a general!" Han Mo sighed lightly, the characters who can be valued by Shang Zhong are by no means simple goods.

Pei Yinghou said: "It is not easy for Wei to capture Nanyang County! ”

Han Mo nodded slightly, he was not a good hand at military affairs, but he vaguely felt that if Wei and Qing fought, Yan Guo seemed to be able to profit from it.

And he soon realized that Wei Qing and the two countries should not make such a quick move, and before that, these two countries would definitely find out the intentions of Yan Guo. Although Yan Country has been in turmoil over the past year, the four major families have been wiped out in a row, and the entire Yan Kingdom seems to be in instability, but the two countries definitely dare not underestimate the strength of Yan Kingdom...

Especially Qingguo, in the middle of the two countries, if it is with the Wei war, Yan Guo will become the knife behind Qingguo, if this knife goes up to stab that stab, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Qingguo.

"Wei State is not watching Qingguo's Nanyang County for a day or two!" Pei Yinghou said softly: "Nanyang County is a big county, and it is also a land of fish and rice, rich in products, for the Wei State, the most lacking is grain, and Nanyang County is the largest grain-producing county in Qing State. If Nanyang County can be taken and controlled, Wei's national strength will definitely increase greatly, which will be of great help to their military expansion...... Once Qingguo loses Nanyang County, it will suffer a huge blow, maybe Nanyang County is lost, and the morale of the Qing army is weakened, and the Wei State will attack Qingguo in one fell swoop, and at that time, Qingguo will suffer greater losses...... Therefore, the subordinates thought that Qing would do whatever it took to keep Nanyang County, and Wei would definitely attack Nanyang County to the death for strategic expansion. ”

Han Mo nodded and said: "The people of Wei have always liked to fight, their people have been receiving military training since they were young, and the national policy is to attack first...... Since he is fighting this time, he will hit a heavy punch, but I don't know if Qingguo can resist it! ”

Although Wei has the most martial arts and has a strong army, there is still a huge gap between the national strength and the Qing State。。。。。

The outcome of the war is something that no one can predict, and the beginning of any war is a big adventure.

If Wei wants to win, it must capture Nanyang County as quickly as possible, quickly complete the control of Nanyang County, and must not fight a protracted war, once the war stalemate, the strength of Qingguo's national strength will be revealed, and Wei will definitely be dragged to death.

Moreover, both sides must also beware of Yan Guo, an unpredictable factor that can change the situation of the battle at any time.

This war seems to have changed dramatically, but if it really starts a war, I am afraid that it will not be as fast as imagined.

Han Mo stood up, walked to the window, looked at the beautiful scenery on the lake, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Let people pay attention to the movement over there at any time, it will be ...... for a while It shouldn't be able to fight! ”

……

When Han Mo arrived at the underground torture room in the Dexi Flower Hall, Li Gu and Red Sleeves were waiting inside, they knew that the hall master would come to ask about something, and they were also prepared...

In the underground torture room, a prisoner with a dull expression was tied to an iron pillar, his face was dull, but his eyes were still filled with lingering fear.

On the way to Yichun to transport grain, Han Mo rested in Gushui Town, that night, there was a group of people hidden among the soldiers and people, wanting to take the opportunity to burn grain, fortunately, Han Mo used the slogan of the military camp and one-on-one identification, which pulled out all the nails hidden inside.

This prisoner is the last living one in that group of spies, that is, Chen Cang, who once told Han Mo something...

When Chen Cang was in Yichun, he was secretly imprisoned by Han Mo's faction, and on the eve of returning to Beijing, he handed him over to Li Gu and other officials of the Xihua Hall and secretly brought him back to Yanjing.

A chair was placed in front of Chen Cang, wiped clean, and Han Mo sat on it, staring at Chen Cang.

Chen Cang's sluggish face was still stunned when he saw Han Mo, and his eyes seemed to have stopped turning.

"Any useful clues?" Han Mo leaned back in his chair and asked with a slight frown.

He himself had interrogated Chen Cang, but he didn't get many clues from Chen Cang's mouth, only that Chen Cang was a death row prisoner, who was rescued, and then brutally trained for three years in the training of survival of the fittest, and then accepted the task of lurking and burning grain.

Other than that, Han Mo had very little information to obtain.

Although he felt that Chen Cang didn't seem to be lying, he would be a living mouth. Leave it to the West Flower Hall, so that it can play the greatest role and maximize some unexpected information.

Li Gu replied: "We have used various methods, and in terms of confession, as adults know, we have not unearthed more information. It seems that there is only so much he knows! ”

Han Mo was a little disappointed and frowned.

He is now very concerned about one question, who planned the conspiracy, and what kind of force is behind Chen Cang? That force looks mysterious and weird, and in the country of Qingguo, what is the purpose of that force's existence, and why do they want to burn the relief food?

Red Sleeves suddenly said, "But ...... From his body, we found something! ”

Hearing this, Han Mo's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile, he knew that even if a corpse was handed over to the West Flower Hall, he would find something useful.

If he didn't find anything, Han Mo would be very disappointed!

"Poison stuff?" Han Mo stared at Red Sleeves' cold but very delicate face and asked.

A hint of surprise crossed Red Sleeve's eyes, obviously she didn't expect Han Mo to be able to guess this at once.

Han Mo naturally saw the surprise in the red sleeves' eyes, and smiled: "Don't be surprised...... Your hall chief has never been stupid. Red Sleeves, you are a master of poison, and what can be found in his body must be related to poison...... I'm just guessing! ”

Red Sleeves nodded slightly: "Your Lord's guess is right, from his body, I found poison!" ”
