Chapter 406: Conjecture Comes True
"It's not renting, it's buying, and now the cost has increased several times, so I don't care about the shop money, and after buying the next door, the wall will be opened, and then there will be an open hall, and there will be more people who can accept it in the future, won't the money come faster?"
Mrs. Jia now has her own experience in opening a shop, Qi Ling's words can comprehend the huge profits in it with just a slight turn in his mind, and when the case is over, "Cheng, then I will talk about it after the shop is closed today." ”
"Then I'm sorry for you."
After Qi Ling began to be busy with his career here, Gu Jinfeng encountered a problem here.
After three days of long travel, they have entered the border area, and when they stopped to cook at noon today, they received an urgent report from the front-line spies, saying that the border city has been breached!
Zhang Mo in the camp was so angry that his teeth itched, "What the hell is going on, General Ben rushed here with all his hard work, and actually told me that the border city was breached by that group of barbarians?!" ”
The adjutant general hurriedly persuaded, "There must be a reason for this time, it stands to reason that with the reinforcements of the three nearby cities, it should not be so easily breached, unless it is the reinforcements in the future, and the number of siege personnel increased by the Dacheng army." ”
The spy lowered his head and replied, "General Hui, it is the reinforcements who refuse to go out of the city, the border city has consumed too many troops since the last war, and there are only 30,000 people left when the city is defended, but it also lasted for two days, and in the end there is really no way, so I retreated from the border city." ”
Zhang Mo almost suspected that he had misheard, "You said that 30,000 troops held out for two days and didn't wait for reinforcements?" ”
"Yes General."
"I'll fuck it! What the hell is going on?! ”
The adjutant general on the side was thoughtful and asked, "Are the defending generals of the nearby city all Zhou Shangshu's old department?" ”
The spy nodded: "Deputy General Mingjian, it's all because Zhou Kaiming's old puppet ordered them not to send troops to rescue, so they lost the border city!" ”
Zhang Mo was immediately so angry that he almost picked up the long sword and was about to cut off the general's head, could it be that this battle was a game in the eyes of the old horseman?!
What a refusal to send troops, what a Zhou Kaiming!
In the end, he forced himself to calm down and asked, "What about now, I remember that since the death of the Lord, it was Chen Li who defended the city, how is he now?" ”
"General Hui, General Chen was injured because of his bravery and good fighting, and now he is recuperating in Fengcheng, and the people in the border city have also moved to Fengcheng, and the next target of the Dacheng army is Fengcheng."
Fengcheng is famous for its rice cultivation, and although rice is cultivated in various places, the rice that comes out here is sweet and fluffy, and it is mainly used as imperial rice to be transported to the capital.
"I know, I'll go and find out, if there is any information, I'll report it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
After the spies left, Zhang Mo was pacing back and forth in the camp tent with a frown, and the adjutant general on the side asked, "Does the general have a way?" ”
"I naturally have a way, but now I have to wait for the orders of the adults."
The adjutant general was puzzled, "Your Excellency's order?" ”
"The news that the border city was captured due to the refusal of the nearby city to send troops must not only be known, Chen Li definitely passed the news back as soon as possible, since the adults know, then the saints will naturally know, now we have to wait for the adults to send a message over, and see how to deploy it next."
But when he thought of that group of guys, Zhang Mo's heart was angry, and he went straight out: "Those guys are really bold, they dare to refuse to send troops at this moment, and when the time comes, when I pass, the first one will teach a good lesson and vent his evil anger!" ”
Through the past few days of getting along, Liu Touzi's impression of Gu Jinfeng has completely changed, and even Brother Hong has to admire him, looking white and clean, with a few taels of meat on his body, but he is the one who can hold on to it the most in their camp.
Everyone else was tired of dogs, and he walked on steady steps like no one else, and the ease of his energy didn't seem like a pretense.
Now that he finally stopped to rest, and everyone else sat still and didn't want to move, then the cooking work could only be handed over to him, and there was nothing to eat in this wilderness, so he picked some wild vegetables to make a soup, and then mixed with dry food, and after eating enough, he rested in place for a while and then continued on the road.
After all, the war on the front line is tight, and they are not here to travel, so they naturally have to seize the time to move forward.
But today, he was ordered to come down and camp for a night, and then set off tomorrow, Gu Jinfeng lit the fire, and suddenly had some thoughts in his heart.
Liu Touzi on the side came over and asked in a low voice, "Did you think of something?" ”
"I don't know what you mean."
Liu Touzi pouted, "You kid, pretend to be confused, and there is no one else here, so you can say it." ”
Gu Jinfeng looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that the border city has been lost. ”
Liu Touzi was stunned for a moment, and then listened to him continue: "You also know the speed of the rush a few days ago, but today is obviously a good day for the road, but suddenly said that you will set up camp here and leave tomorrow, no matter how you look at it, it is very suspicious." ”
"What are you kidding, maybe the general is sympathetic to the soldiers who work too hard, and deliberately took half a day to rest, you are so worried about the country and the people."
"Then since you don't believe me, I'll just say it." After saying that, he closed his mouth and continued to do his own thing, as if he hadn't said what he had just said, Liu Touzi snorted and left.
That night, the spies quickly sent an urgent edict from the capital, and Zhang Mo personally came out to receive the order, which alarmed many people, and this time everyone learned that the original border city had been broken, and what they had to do now was to turn the route and re-send it to the next defensive location - Fengcheng.
And the most surprising of them was Touzi Liu, I didn't expect that guy's guess to be true!
"How the hell did you know that the border city had been breached?" Liu Touzi persistently asked, there are really too many mysteries in this kid, wouldn't such a talented person be buried as a soldier here?
"You can know with your brain, after all, according to the time we set off from the capital, there are three results, either the Dacheng army has withdrawn, or it is in a stalemate, and the border city has been breached."
Gu Jinfeng's side face shone brightly in the faint candlelight, "If the Dacheng army retreats, then the general will naturally happily tell everyone the news, if it is still a stalemate, then we will not stop to rest at all, then the last possibility after the last qualification." ”
"You..." Liu Touzi was shocked for a long time and couldn't say a word, this kid's brain turned too fast, and he deduced such information based on this point...
Then he asked, "Do you know how the battle is going on at the front?" ”
Gu Jinfeng sneered, "Let me ask you, you just won a battle and won a city, knowing that the next city has a lot of garrisons, will you immediately send troops there?" ”
"Of course not, I'm not a fool, this siege doesn't require strength! Anyway, you have to rest for a few days! ”
After hearing this, he nodded, "The leader of the Dacheng army should think the same way." ”
Liu Touzi chuckled, "You kid is really interesting, you have read a lot of military books on weekdays, right?" Otherwise, how could it be so clear about what was happening on the battlefield? ”
"I've read a few, but anyone can talk about it on paper, but it's different if you really encounter it."
"You're not here for this, are you?"
