Chapter 139: To Each His Own Concealment

Tang Mingyi's words are not true.

Li Mao arranged to go to Anping to pretend to find out Tang Ming's background, and he also came back a few days ago, and in addition to giving him a return on what he wanted him to do, he also brought some news about Anping and Guangyang counties.

Before, the secret guards did not have many people in Nanchu, but they had made some fairly detailed arrangements in these two counties.

It's just that the war over there directly affects the safety of Liangzhou, and at the same time, you can also take advantage of the chaos to get some news related to Beiyu, plus some people originally placed in Beiyu can sneak into Nanchu and return to Liangzhou through some methods when these two counties are chaotic, so it has played a big role in the first two years.

Later, according to the arrangement of the eldest lady, the Liangzhou army waved its division south to obtain Tongcheng, because the plan was quite dangerous, and there were shortcomings in the hands of people, so Wenliang Li Mao withdrew most of the people back.

At that time, Anping and Guangyang were not yet chaotic, but with the destruction of Liangzhou City, Beiyu's offensive in the east was more fierce, and the situation that the two counties were struggling to maintain finally collapsed, so this time they sent people over, and what they saw was a completely different scene.

The homeless people in these two counties generally fled west and south, and although some of their fellow bullies sometimes bullied them, they were generally safe.

However, to the east, in some places where Beiyu didn't want to take care of it, and Southern Chu couldn't take care of it, it was some defeated soldiers who fled from the rout of Southern Chu, as well as the miscellaneous army composed of the original clan's own escort force that was not recognized by Southern Chu at all.

These people's behavior is like mountain bandits, but they dare not attack Southern Chu in the south, and they dare not attack Beiyu in the north, and in the end, only the people of Southern Chu who cannot leave nearby and do not want to go.

When it comes to this, I have to say that the fundamental reason for this situation is that Beiyu went south, but Nanchu did not play even a good role in it, and most of the court officials below the Taishou were inseparable.

And since these two counties have been guarded upwards, few of the adults in the state court have worried about the people of these two counties and the land that is about to fall into the hands of the enemy for even a day.

So when Tang Mingyi said this, Wen was very disdainful in his heart. I only felt that at this time, the soldiers were crushing the people and suffering, but these meat eaters of Southern Chu were still making other plans.

I thought about it, but I didn't show it on my face, but said: "What does Mr. Tang mean is that these mountain bandits are the Liangzhou Army?" ”

"There's nothing else possible." Tang Mingyi said firmly, "The Liangzhou army claims to be 20,000, but in fact there are only 4,000, they have been defeated all the way, even if the eldest lady has subdued most of them, but at most there are only two or three thousand, and the rest may not all die in Liangzhou, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be some halfway to escape and fall into the grass." ”

Tang Mingyi said that these two numbers are incorrect.

The Liangzhou army used to claim to be 20,000, but it was because Yang Wantang helped to ask for some supplies and support for the Liangzhou army from the Southern Chu Dynasty in the early years. Liang Zhoujun naturally knew back then, first, he had to use Yang Wantang, and second, he just followed him to put a very inaccurate number.

And the number of four thousand, whether it is Song You's detection or Tang Mingyi's own exploration, it is all from the handwriting of the secret guard.

Regardless of these, Zhou Tong just listened to him, and his heart became more and more unhappy, but he was neither angry nor scolded, so he just sat there and closed his eyes, and he was asleep.

Wen Gu was suspicious again: "But it is said that I know that the Liangzhou army is strictly disciplined, even better than many armies in Dachu, how can there be such behavior?" ”

Tang Mingyi only regarded it as the girlish nature of this eldest lady, after all, her greatest achievement was to assist Taishou Liu Zhi to defeat the Liangzhou army and recover Tongcheng, and she said that the Liangzhou army was not worthy of its name, which weakened her difficulty in obtaining this feat, and she was definitely unwilling.

But now, he must decide the identity of Liang Zhoujun, in the future, no matter whether his current plan is successful or not, Liu Niangzi's exploits must be pressed down, so that she can do things under her hands, and she can't be too much merit for others before being classified under his own door.

Because of these two considerations, I had no choice but to continue: "If it is said that when Wenzong was still there, the Liangzhou Army might not be restrained by people, but now that the Liangzhou Army has no principal, I am afraid it will be a completely different appearance." The eldest lady has fought with them for a round, so she should have experienced. ”

After Tang Mingyi finished speaking, Zhou Tong, who was closing his eyes on the side, suddenly let out a series of earth-shattering snoring.

Tang Mingyi frowned, glanced at him, and continued: "These people are far more ...... than the mountain bandits in Guangyang, Anping."

"Huh...... Whew......"

Zhou Tong's snoring was louder, Tang Mingyi couldn't help but be impatient, paused for a moment and then said: "Far more difficult to deal with than the mountain bandits over there in Anping and Guangyang, these people from the Sun family ......"

"Huh...... Whew......"

"The way these people of the Sun family died is definitely not something that some ordinary mountain bandits can cause, except for ......"

"Huh...... Whew......"

Every time Tang Mingyi said two words, Zhou Tong's snoring became heavier by two points, which provoked Tang Mingyi to follow the aggravated voice: "There is no other possibility except for the Liangzhou army, so ......"

"Huh...... Whew......"

"Commander Zou!" Tang Mingyi finally couldn't help but shout angrily, and when he said a sentence suddenly, he was a little slurred.

Zhou Tong was really woken up by this sound, snorted twice, and barely opened his eyes, only to see Tang Mingyi standing in the hall, looking at him with a very unkind face.

"Mr. Tang, you continue." Zhou Tong said vaguely, and then closed his eyes again, Tang Mingyi saw that he was so unorthodox, and he wanted to say it again. But before he could speak, Zhou Tong's snoring started again.

Wen knew that Zhou Tong did it on purpose, so he held back his smile at this time, and finally called him out: "Commander Zhou." ”

Zhou Tong pretended to be "sober" again, and when he saw Wen Gu looking at him, he suddenly got up and knocked on his breastplate: "Miss, the last will be!" ”

Wen Su did not reprimand Zhou Tong for his rude behavior, but said to him softly: "Commander Zhou has been working hard recently, and when we listen to Mr. Tang, there will always be a time for you to rest." ”

"Yes, Miss." Zhou Tong responded, and simply sat back down, his body straight, and stared at Tang Mingyi with straight eyes.

Tang Mingyi's mouth was full of lies, but he was interrupted by Zhou Tong three times and twice just now, and now he was staring at him uncomfortably, and the original sorted out thoughts were all messed up, so he simply said a conclusion.

"If it is an ordinary mountain bandit, whether it is the government or the inspection department, they can call the shots, but the defeat of the Liangzhou army is in the territory of my Great Chu, and this matter is not just a matter of Tongcheng County."
