Chapter 16: Changes in the North Side?
"Ahem, what, Yan Shao, why did you come back?" Su Jitong coughed lightly twice and said.
"Gongzi Xinglan found traces of the Beixin people in Yanzhuang, because Yanzhuang is not far from Miao Mountain, it is inconvenient for Gongzi Xinglan to investigate in detail, so he sent his subordinates back to deliver the message." The man in black did not squint, and leaned forward, his voice was cold and hard, as if he did not have the slightest emotion.
"The people of Beixin? What do they do in Yanzhuang? Su Jitong frowned when she heard this, looked at Yan Shao and asked, "Do you know how many people are in Yanzhuang in Beixin?" ”
"The subordinates don't know, King Xuan and Xinglan Gongzi were ordered to go back to Ling'an, passing through Yanzhuang, and found a group of people behaving differently in the inn where they stayed, and their martial arts are good, Xinglan Gongzi was not at ease, so he ordered me to go and investigate, and his subordinates took people to chase them to Chashu Town, only to find out their identities, and the subordinates wanted to stay alive to investigate, but they had poison in their mouths, and none of the thirteen people were alive, and the subordinates were derelict in their duties, and Miss Wang was punished!" Hearing Su Jitong's question, Yan Shao knelt on the ground and explained the situation one by one, although he knew that the young lady didn't like them to kneel, but this time it was indeed his dereliction of duty, if he could have noticed it earlier, he wouldn't have been able to keep a living mouth.
Watching Yan Shao kneel, Su Jitong felt uncomfortable in her heart, she had already said that they were not allowed to kneel at will, there were two kneeling people in a day today, is this a deliberate obstruction of her eyes?
"Get up."
Yan Shao didn't want to, knelt on the ground and begged for punishment, saying that he had failed the expectations of Miss and Xinglan Gongzi, but he could make Su Jitong angry.
"How long has it been since you've been out? Can't even I call you? Get up for me! Su Jitong couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.
Seeing that Su Jitong was angry, Yan Shao dared to disobey, and hurriedly got up, but heard Su Jitong say again: "This time, they have been prepared, and they can't complain about you." ”
As she spoke, Su Jitong turned her steps and walked to Fang Cai's rocking chair, thinking as she walked, muttering to herself: "Yanzhuang...... Tea Tree Town ...... Where do they go and what do they do? ”
What is it about this tea tree town that attracts Beixin? Or is it ...... Their destination is not Tea Tree Town at all...... If not to Tea Tree Town, where is it going?
Tea Tree Town ......
Lake mounds?
Suddenly, Su Jitong seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice: "Sangjiang Dam!" ”
Right! If the people of Beixin are not going to Tea Tree Town, then the only possibility is to go to Lake Hill! For fear of the Sangjiang dam in the upper reaches of the Sangjiang River!
"Miss means that Beixin is heading for the Sangjiang Dam?" Yan Shao was shocked by Su Jitong's words, could it be that the bursting of the Sangjiang Dam this time was not accidental, but man-made? If this is the case, then tens of thousands of people in Shishiping, plus the Fengliao epidemic...... Those dead Nanyue people, how innocent they were, if it was really the Beixin people who were obstructing them, he would not let them go.
"I'm just guessing......" Su Jitong said with a solemn face, and then instructed Yan Shao: "Immediately send a message to Huqiu, and order Ning Xun and Qin Gang to investigate thoroughly!" If it is really the hands and feet of the Beixing people, let them have no return! ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Yan Shao retreated.
The breeze blew on her face, picking up the green silk, Su Jitong leaned on the rocking chair, silent, and the aster red silk didn't dare to make a sound on the side, and it took a long time before she heard Su Jitong speak.
"Hongxuan, inform the Lanzhou side, pay close attention to the movements of Beixin, and report immediately if there is any abnormality." Turning his head to look at Hongxuan, he continued to order: "You go to Wuling to help Cong'an, secretly check if there are any Beixin people lurking in Wuling, and don't leak the slightest rumor before the matter is clear!" ”
Xu realized the seriousness of the problem, Hongxuan no longer had her usual laughter, and responded with a solemn face, but no longer delayed, and flew away.
If her guess is correct, the reason why Beixin hit the Sangjiang Dam will definitely not be as simple as a flood, they are for Wuling in the lower reaches of the Sangjiang River, and for Lanzhou! Beixin can't wait to raise troops in Nanyue, Lanzhou, which is located on the border of Nanyue, is nothing, and for Beixin, who lives in a wild land all year round, it is not a problem at all. And Wuling is different, because of the topography of Nanyue, it has created the terrain of Wuling by the mountains and rivers that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you enter the customs from Lanzhou, Wuling is the only way to Ling'an.
Wuling stands near the mountain, leaning on the Sangjiang River, the Dongzhu Mountains starting from the Mushan Mountain are a natural barrier erected for Wuling, if you want to capture Wuling, you must only attack head-on, and the front of Wuling is an unobstructed plain, high and down, the slightest movement can be seen clearly by Wuling.
It is not a matter of one or two days for Beixin to want to raise troops in Nanyue, if it was before, there was Wuling, Beixin naturally couldn't ask for any benefits, but now the Sangjiang dam bursts, Wuling has suffered heavy losses, and there are Beixin people mixed in the chaos, and when it comes to the siege, they should join forces inside and outside...... There is no guarantee that Ulling will not be captured.
No wonder the Holy One attaches so much importance to the matter of flooding. No wonder the calamity silver was robbed, and the saint was so angry that the government and the opposition trembled a few times.
"Miss, but there's a problem at the border?" Aster asked cautiously.
"I hope Xinglan and I think too much." Su Jitong closed her eyes tiredly.
Thinking about it, Ye Xinglan also thought of this, so he was so anxious to let Yan Shao come back.
The Beixin barbarians are a people living on horseback, they are brave and good at fighting, once the war is provoked, it is difficult to extinguish, and the people are the last to suffer.
The battle on the battlefield is a picture of rivers of blood...... She couldn't imagine!
"Aster, pack your things and follow me to the lake!" Su Jitong thought about it and decided to go to the Sangjiang Dam to see it in person.
The Sangjiang Dam is so important and heavily guarded, and nearly 30,000 troops are stationed in the lake.
Whether it was true or not, she had to go to the lake.
If it's fake, it's best, but if it's true...... Those who can sneak in under such a defense and use their hands and feet in the dam should only be afraid that their official position is not low.
"Miss......" Zi Wan looked at Su Jitong worriedly, Beixin moved to inform the border or sent a message back to Ling'an to report to the court, the court is worried, no matter how powerful the young lady is, she is also a girl's family in the end, how can she suffer such a crime?
"Aster, I know what you're trying to say, and I know you're worried about me. I don't know any big truth, I only know that if Beixin really has this heart, Wuling is injured, and Beixin should attack Wuling in a big way, and it is difficult to guarantee that Wuling will not be broken" Su Jitong turned her head to look at Aster and said: "Under the nest, there are no eggs." When the Beixin army invades Nanyue, we ...... How many days can you live in peace? ”
Without waiting for Aster to speak, Su Jitong said again: "What's more, the situation is not clear now, but a few Beixin people have been found, which doesn't mean anything, and now if this matter is suddenly stabbed to the imperial court, we will be bitten back by Beixin, and we will not be able to bear the charge of bewitching the public." ”
"Are we just going to sit back and wait?" Aster asked urgently.
"Who says we're going to sit still?" Su Jitong raised her eyebrows, and a light smile was on her lips, gentle and graceful, but there was a layer of coldness in that gentleness.
