Wan Qianqing bowed his head slightly, and said: "What the general said is good, both possibilities exist. But with all due respect, the latter seems to be a much greater possibility than the former. ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "What does General Wan Qi mean is that there are indeed many people who hate me to the bone?" ”

Wan Qiqing said: "General, the last general doesn't dare to ask where General Xiao has gone now, but if he gives you the talisman, it is equivalent to handing over the Northwest Army to you." For such a long time, General Xiao has not been heard from, he is a dragon who has entered the world, and now that he is hidden, it may be difficult for us to see him again. But the last general has to say that General Xiao has a sharp eye and uses people properly, and the people he uses, no matter what the people are, are at least able to take charge of themselves and make the best use of their talents. ”

Han Mo naturally thought deeply of this and nodded.

"On that day, the general held a military meeting, and the lowest official position present was also the commander, even if there was not even a partial general." Wan Qiqing said slowly: "In the Northwest Army, even the generals who are partial to the general take office, they are all selected by General Xiao, not to mention the generals who attended the meeting that day. With the wisdom of General Xiao, how could he promote a spy of the Wei people to an important position in the Northwest Army? In other words, even if he didn't know the truth for a while when he was promoted, the least of these generals had followed General Xiao for more than five years, and if General Xiao couldn't detect that there were Wei spies around him, the last general would really be hard to believe! ”

"Ben got it." Han Mo nodded and said, "You mean to say that among this group of generals, there are no spies planted by the Wei people, in other words, the person who betrayed the general is deliberately trying to borrow a knife to kill someone?" ”

Wan Qiqing nodded slightly, and said, "With all due respect, the last general thinks that this possibility is the greatest. ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Then Chief Wan Qi thinks that there will be people who hate Ben General very much and want to kill Han Mo as soon as possible?" ”

Wan Qiqing was silent for a while, and finally coughed lightly, and said calmly: "General, the last general is not chewing ** behind his back, but for the future of the Northwest Army and the future of my Dayan, there are some things that should be said, and the last general feels that it is better to say it." ”

"That's how it should be!"

"General, the last general thinks that the biggest suspect in betraying the general, that's ......!" Wan Qianqing paused for a moment, then looked at Han Mo's eyes, his expression was solemn, and he spit out two words: "Kong Fei!" ”

Han Mo's eyes narrowed, and his fists tightened.

Wan Qiqing sighed: "General, this is just the words of the last general's family, you don't take it to heart, before you find evidence, you can just treat these words as nonsense." ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "Wan Qian, don't worry, without evidence, he will not indiscriminately wronged people...... It's just that if you say that Kong Fei is suspicious, there is always a reason. ”

Wan Qiqing said: "General, you may not know that the six general soldiers of my Dayan Northwest Army, who are really from General Xiao's lineage, are this Kong Feikong generals. ”

"Oh?"

"General, this Kong Fei is from Huiji County, and his hometown is in the fief of the Xiao family." Wan Qiqing said in a low voice: "Before Kong Fei joined the army, he once worked as a nurse in the mansion of an elder of the Xiao family, and later General Xiao built a great reputation in the northwest, and there are many people in General Xiao's hometown who want to ascend to heaven, and many people have come to join the army, wanting to mix up an official and a half-post in the Northwest Army." ”

Han Mo just touched his chin and listened carefully.

"However, General Xiao is a meritocrat, and few of the Xiao clan people who defected to him stayed, but this Kong Fei, who was recommended by the elders of the Xiao clan, was left by General Xiao." Wan Qiqing said slowly: "After Kong Fei joined the army back then, he was deeply respected by the general, but this person is also quite talented and has made a lot of contributions, and the commander of the army is indeed very skillful, step by step to today, and has become the general soldier of the first pass on the one side." ”

Han Mo said lightly: "So what? ”

Although this Kong Fei is not surnamed Xiao, he is grateful to the Xiao family. He was a foreign surname back then, but he was recommended by the elders of the Xiao clan, and he was already very grateful to the Xiao family, and then he was promoted by General Xiao, and his favor to the Xiao family was naturally different from others. Wan Qianqing said softly: "General, you ...... Do you understand what the last general means? ”

Han Mo touched his chin and shook his head slightly: "Wan Qian, General Soldier, I won't tell you, the general really didn't understand!" ”

……

"Don't blame the general." Wan Qiqing smiled faintly and said: "The general's family, that is quite a disagreement with the Xiao clan, although the last general is in the northwest, but he also occasionally hears about the court, and knows that the Han and Xiao clans are ......incompatible with water and fire in the court!" ”

Han Mo was expressionless and didn't say a word, just looked at Wan Qianqing calmly with a pair of eyes.

Wan Qiqing seemed a little embarrassed, but finally didn't say anything.

Han Mo groaned slightly, and finally sighed: "The two ethnic groups have different political views, and there is quite friction, and this is not something that cannot be said. This is something that the people of the world see in their eyes, and there is no need to taboo it, Wan Qian General Soldier, there are only you and the general here, if you have anything to say, you don't need to be restrained, it's all for the future of the Northwest Army! ”

Wan Qiqing stroked his beard and said: "What the general said is that the general will not be taboo. The last general has heard a lot of private rumors, although they are ridiculous, but they are not necessarily demagogic. ”

"What rumors?"

"The most ridiculous are two major rumors." Wan Qianqing said: "One is a rumor that General Xiao suddenly disappeared, and some ill-intentioned people maliciously slandered the general in private, saying that General Xiao's disappearance has something to do with ...... general!" Speaking of this, he looked at Han Mo's face and saw that Han Mo looked calm, so he continued: "Another big rumor is the news from Beijing, it is rumored that Xiao Taishi resigned and went into hiding, but he was assassinated on the way back to his hometown, many people secretly spread rumors that Xiao Taishi's death is inseparable from the Han people, and the Ministry of Industry Shang Xiao Huaijin father and son were also killed by the Han people...... ”

Han Mo smiled indifferently and said, "Rumors stop at the wise!" ”

Tong Qing nodded and said: "But did the general ever think that General Xiao has been in charge of the Northwest Army for more than ten years, and there are still many remnants of the Xiao clan in the Northwest Army, and they are all dissatisfied with the general, and Kong Fei is one of them." The fall of the Xiao clan, in the hearts of Kong Fei's group of people, must be counted on the general's family, and deep in their hearts, they may even blame the root of the Xiao clan's defeat on the general's head. ”

Han Mo touched his chin, squinted his eyes, and did not speak.

Just} come to o

"The general is both civil and military, and with his own talents, he has established prestige in the Northwest Army in a short period of time." Wan Qianqing stared at Han Mo and said solemnly: "With Kong Fei's identity and background, it is impossible to hurt the general on the surface, but since he feels the grace of the Xiao clan, it is very likely that he has a bad heart towards the general in his heart." This time, the general led his troops to intercept Sima Haoyue, and when he held a military meeting, he was also present ......! Speaking of this, Wan Qiqing didn't continue, just looked at Han Mo, his eyes were full of deep meaning.

Han Mo leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and asked, "Chief Wan Qian felt that Kong Fei wanted to avenge the Xiao clan, so he leaked the general's whereabouts to Sima Haoyue?" ”

Wan Qiqing said calmly: "Maybe Kong Fei is not alone, the remnants of the Xiao clan in the Northwest Army, it is very likely that many people are involved in this matter. ”

Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Chief Soldier Wan Qi This is just speculation, there is no evidence. Just because Kong Fei has received the favor of the Xiao family, it is certain that he wants to avenge the Xiao family and intends to murder the general. ”

Tong Qing said: "The last general is not prejudiced against him, and he would not really doubt him. But after one thing happened, the last general felt that it was really strange, so he became suspicious of him! ”

"Oh?" Han Mo frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wan Qianqing arched his hand and said: "General, you have just come back, there is one thing, the last general has not reported to you in time." ”

"Say!"

"The general captured Sima Haoyue, and at this time it spread throughout the three armies, and no one did not exaggerate the general's bravery." Wan Qianqing said: "After Sima Haoyue was arrested and handed over, Governor Han ordered the last general to send people to detain and guard, and the last general specially selected twenty elite soldiers to be strictly guarded. ”

"That's good." Han Mo said: "How is he doing now?" I'm going to have to interrogate him and see if I can get something out of his mouth. ”

Wan Qianqing sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that the general won't be able to judge him." ”

Han Mo's heart tightened, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice: "He...... What happened? ”

"General, Sima Haoyue is dead!" Wan Qiqing smiled bitterly: "Dead people naturally can't be interrogated. ”

"Dead?" Han Mo clenched his fists: "How did you die?" Who killed him? ”

"It was suicide!"

"Suicide?"

Wan Qiqing nodded and said, "Exactly, he pierced his throat with a wooden thorn!" ”

"Don't you know that an identity like Sima Haoyue Haoyue, since he was captured, he always thinks about seeking death and liberation." Han Mo's eyes showed a cold look: "You selected twenty elite soldiers to watch him, how could you let him kill himself?" ”

Wan Qiqing got up from the chair, bowed down and said, "Please punish the general!" ”

Han Mo thought for a while, and finally said: "Wan Qian is a well-organized soldier, there should be no omissions, is there another reason for this?" ”

Wan Qiqing said: "General, after Sima Haoyue was imprisoned, the last general was afraid of accidents, so he arranged heavy soldiers outside the tent where he was imprisoned, and tied his hands and feet, unable to move, even stuffed something in his mouth. ”

"In that case, why can you kill yourself?"

"Three days ago, that is, early in the morning of the day before Governor Han sent out his troops, someone came to report that Sima Haoyue committed suicide, and the last general was very surprised at the time, and when he arrived there, he found that Sima Haoyue had pierced his throat, and there was a wooden thorn the length of chopsticks piercing his throat, and he had been dead for several hours. Wan Qiqing's expression was serious: "The last general remembers clearly, he has ten thousand knots tied to his hands and feet, and it is impossible to break free!" ”

"The impossible becomes possible?"

Wan Qiqing said slowly: "At the beginning, the last general was also very strange, how did Sima Haoyue break free from the rope, and how did he find a wooden thorn and commit suicide? ”

"And what did you find out later?"

"Later, the last general learned that just the night before, Kong Fei had entered the tent where Sima Haoyue was imprisoned!" Wan Qiqing's voice was calm, but his expression was extremely grim.
