After the victory, before Han Mobai could share the joy with Amber, he was called by Bai Yi and came to the study where he usually handled affairs. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Yi sat behind the wide desk and let his subordinates unfold a huge map.

He pointed to Youliuguan at the junction of Chu and Zhou, and said, "We have already investigated the matter that you were favored by the champion of Zhou State. Now the border of Chu and Zhou is constantly dissatisfied, and Zhou has won many victories under the leadership of the champion Hou, and the battle line has been advanced from Qingjiang City and Youliuguan to Chiyang City and Suoheguan, if this form continues, the Anqing Mansion of Chu will sooner or later fall into the pocket of Zhou. ”

Han Mobai nodded and said, "Hou Hou, the champion of the Zhou Kingdom, is cautious in his use of soldiers, and is good at using small tactics to achieve grand strategies. If the Zhou State was allowed to take the Anqing Mansion, there would be no barrier in the hinterland of the Chu State. The Zhou army can drive straight in. ”

Bai Yi said to Han Mobai: "If you are Chu Jun, what are you going to do?"

Han Mobai walked to the map, looked at the terrain and the troops stationed in various countries for a while, and said to Bai Yi after thinking for a while: "Give up the east of the Yangtze River, the main force is stationed in Congyang, make a posture of decisive battle in Congyang, and then lead a partial division to go around the rear." ”

Saying that, Han Mobai's finger drew an arrow on the map, pointing to Jiuhua City.

Bai Yi nodded appreciatively to Han Mobai and said, "Your analysis is completely correct, but our partial division did not capture Jiuhua City, which was only garrisoned by eight hundred people.

Han Mobai asked in some surprise: "Why is this so? According to my assumption, the Zhou Kingdom will not be stationed in Jiuhua City. They want to guard against our sneak attack behind us, and they should also be in Chiyang City. ”

Bai Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Emperor Chu's prestige in the country is too low, the morale of the sergeants is low, and the generals should deal with the military orders. ”

Han Mobai shook his head and said, "The Chu people are good at fighting, how can such a situation occur?"

Bai Yi rubbed his brows and said, "After Jiangxia's divine punishment, the Chen clan of Chu was wiped out, and the new Chu Emperor was the original prime minister, and he was completely unable to control the army. And the Chu people thought more about the benefits of the Chen royal family, and did not want to be the enemy of the Zhou State. ”

Han Mobai nodded, signaling that he understood, he had heard of Jiangxia's divine punishment and knew Zhou Chu's previous origins.

Sixteen years ago, in the Jiangxia Divine Punishment, the entire Chen royal family of the Chu State was killed, and only Chen Yu, who was married to Zhou Emperor Mu Yunlie, survived. And the people of Chu still miss the kindness of the Chen royal family, so they are not willing to be enemies of Zhou.

Bai Yi said to Han Mobai: "The general of the Chu State stationed in Anqing Mansion is named Wang Yungong, and the Holy Sect suspects that he is passively leading the army, so he has such a rotten situation, so he is ready to send you to be the overseer." ”

Han Mobai understood Bai Yi's intentions and asked, "How much power can I have?"

Bai Yi smiled: "The state of Chu is now nominally ruled by Emperor Yang Zaiguang, but he is nothing more than a puppet. The appointment and dismissal of important courtiers of Chu were arranged by the bishop of Chu. I am going to make you vicarious bishop and assist the bishop in handling the internal affairs of Chu. ”

Han Mobai knelt down excitedly and said to Bai Yi: "I am willing to die for the Holy Sect." ”

Bai Yi asked Han Mobai to stand up, and said: "Giving you the title of deputy bishop is just for your convenience in supervising the army, you have to remember that no matter what major decisions you make in the Chu State, you must get the consent of the bishop." ”

Han Mobai naturally nodded in agreement.

Bai Yi pointed to Jinling City, the imperial city of the Zhou State, and said to Han Mobai: "You have lived in Jinling City for six years, and it is natural for you to have feelings for the Zhou State, but you must remember that you are now the vice bishop of the Holy Sect. You can only serve the Holy Church. If you are dealing with affairs in the state of Chu, you are biased towards the interests of the state of Zhou. Then I will kill you with my own hands. ”

Han Mobai knelt down again and said, "Please trust Your Majesty in my loyalty to the Holy Sect. ”

Bai Yi nodded and said to Han Mobai, "Do you know why I let you go to Chu State?"

"The Whip has shown his admiration for you and wants you to be one of the candidates for the Whip. In the case of archbishop candidates, we usually ask them to do something against their mother country to prove their loyalty to the Holy Church. ”

"Yes"

"This time, the people in the Twelve Courtyards of the Gods, in addition to you, there is one other person who will also go to the Chu State. Do you have any requirements?"

"As long as it's not Li Jin. ”

"Amber will go with you. Go back and pack your bags with Amber and head out as soon as possible. ”

After Han Mobai agreed, he wanted to leave the study.

Bai Yi said again: "Let you and Amber go out at the same time, so that the two of you will temporarily disappear from the sight of the Xuan Holy Envoy, when you are in the Chu State, you must not only pay attention to the Zhou State, but also be careful of the internal enemies." ”

Han Mobai stopped, looked at Bai Yi's eyes, and asked with doubt, "Why don't you stop Lord Xuansheng?"

"Be careful of the arrows you shoot from behind, it's a kind of experience. ”

After Han Mobai came out of Bai Yi's study, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, the plan that was abandoned by the Puritans now seemed to have the possibility of success.

He didn't go to the Astonishing Courtyard, but went directly to the Winter Solstice Courtyard where Amber was.

Amber is waiting for him in the Winter Solstice Courtyard. She asked Han Mobai to accompany her to visit Shenqi City.

On the one hand, although Han Mobai has been in the Holy Domain for almost three months, she has never had time to relax, and on the other hand, Han Mobai is famous today, and she wants to take Han Mobai out to show off.

Amber is not a lone person without friends, her girlfriends have been making fun of her for Han Mobai some time ago after hearing that she is really a tigress, and the boyfriends she is looking for are all little sheep who need her protection.

On the one hand, Amber blushed and denied that Han Mobai was her boyfriend, but on the other hand, she made a note of the incident, determined to wait for Han Mobai to break through the realm and show her girlfriends that Han Mobai did not need her protection.

In addition, the shop where she often buys gouache, the aunt in the store told Amber more than once that if Amber has a man she likes, she must bring it for her to see.

Amber pulled Han Mobai and walked out without saying anything.

Han Mobai looked at the impatient Amber and said again and again: "Amber, where are we going?" I have something to tell you. ”

Amber didn't stop, pulled Han Mo and walked forward without looking back, and said, "Talk while walking." ”

Han Mobai followed Amber helplessly and said, "His Majesty the Pope asked the two of us to go to the Zhou-Chu border and be the supervisors of the Chu army. ”

Amber stopped, glared back at Han Mobai, and said, "If you go, you can go, why do you want to pull me." ”

"You were appointed by His Majesty the Pope, and you have nothing to do with me. ”

Amber frowned, her face full of displeasure: "I just want to have a good stargazing in Yueshan, I don't want to go out and think about those intrigues every day." ”

Han Mobai spread his hands, indicating that he had no choice.

Amber sighed, half of her elated mood vanished. She said to Han Mobai, "When did Your Majesty let us go?"

Han Mobai said: "Now that the war between Zhou and Wu is urgent, according to Your Majesty's wishes, set off as soon as possible." ”

Amber pouted and said unhappily: "Okay, I'll go to Yueshan to say goodbye to the master, and we'll set off for Chu early tomorrow morning." ”
