Chapter 118: The Situation Is Grim
First of all, the person who dares to do such a thing must have an extremely detailed plan, and must have foreseen the worst outcome.
If you venture to track it down, it is likely to backfire.
Secondly, the five people who can buy the post station can't do it with money alone, and they must have a very deep background.
So in the case of not being able to ensure a one-hit kill, it is better to put things on hold for the time being.
In the end, what Chen Mo is most worried about is also convinced that among the people who planned this incident, there must be people who serve in the military.
Most likely, the level is not low.
On the other hand, on his side, the highest position is Yang Qi, the general who guards the city.
In Baihe County, Yang Qi can be regarded as a representative of the military, and he can even talk and laugh with Wang Anshi and others.
But if you put it in a border city fortress and put it in an army of thousands of people, it is not worth mentioning.
The most important thing is that so far, no conclusive evidence has been found about the origin of the man in black.
In this case, reporting what happened just now will indeed attract the attention of the fortress, but what can be done besides paying attention?
In a short period of time, can you really dig out the real culprit behind the scenes?
Especially when the situation between the two countries is unstable and war may break out at any time, will this shake the morale of the military?
All of this must be taken into account.
After listening to what Chen Mo said, Yang Qi couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother, now that I understand my brother, what is called listening to your words, it is better than reading for ten years, I think everything is simple."
"The eldest brother is from a military background, and it is normal that he does not have a deep understanding of politics and governance."
Chen Mo did this, but it was also a helpless move.
Investigating such a big matter, if no one supports it, I may not know how to die at that time.
"What did my brother say, what treatment?" Yang Qi was puzzled.
"To put it simply, it's officialdom, Game of Thrones." Chen Mo explained with a wry smile, "From ancient times to the present, this aspect is the most difficult to deal with. ”
"I believe you when you say this, I just hope that there is no similar undercurrent on the fortress side."
At the mention of this, Yang Qi became worried.
"Brother Yang, isn't the situation optimistic over there in the fortress?" Chen Mo asked.
"As my brother said, intrigues."
Yang Qi sighed and explained.
Here in the fortress, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed all year round, all of whom were originally under the command of the generalissimo of Zhenbei.
After the marshal abdicated, the capital sent another general, named Xiahou Zhen, who was extremely noble.
Counting up to three generations, they have all made great achievements.
It is no exaggeration to say that it can be regarded as a family full of loyalty.
However, in Xiahou Zhen's generation, it has changed its taste, less bloody as a military person, and more utilitarian in the temple struggle for power.
Even the mission of protecting the family and defending the country was gradually left behind, and most of the thoughts were put on forming a party for personal gain.
Take Xiahou Zhen as an example, although he is in charge of the elite of the northern territory of the Great Chu Dynasty, he has always advocated that peace is precious.
And this also caused the dissatisfaction of a group of old generals.
When I followed the generalissimo of Zhenbei, what a scenery it was.
Crisscrossing the battlefield, invincible, and the enemies you kill are terrified.
It's good now, if you can't fight, you won't fight, and if you can endure it, you can endure it, and it can be said that you have suffered a lot of.
The saddest thing is that even if Xiahou Zhen made peace, he also suppressed the marshal and old generals, and many people were demoted.
At the beginning, Yang Qi was dissatisfied with this and said some outrageous words, but he was saved by his boss and sent to Baihe County to be the general of the city guard.
Something like that, and many more.
Hearing this, Chen Mo's heart hung again.
He really didn't expect that the situation in the fortress would be so bad.
The so-called soldier bears a nest of bears.
Xiahou Zhen resisted the battle between the two armies so much, it would be hellish if he could win the battle.
What's even more troublesome is that if you don't have the heart to kill the enemy, what will you do with the business you are planning?
If the business can't be done, it won't be able to catch the line of the military.
If you can't take this line, let alone expand the overall situation in the future, don't even think about investigating the things that have just been robbed.
"It seems that we have to analyze the situation carefully and think of a foolproof plan."
Muttering in his heart, Chen Mo didn't ask about the fortress again.
It has nothing to do with hearing being false and seeing is believing, but Chen Mo knows that nothing can be done by listening to one side.
He believes that Yang Qi will not lie, but people's cognition is determined by the change of mood, and it is difficult to say that there is no personal emotion mixed in it.
So, you still have to wait until you go to the fortress to find out for yourself.
"Brother Yang, don't mention the unhappy things. Let me say, it's nice to be a city general. ”
"Okay?"
Yang Qi smiled bitterly, looking a little lost.
"For me, the best place to go is always on the front line. Guarding the city gates, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. ”
"Okay, maybe there will be a turnaround this time?"
Chen Mo could see that Yang Qi was a person of faith, so he was relieved.
"It's a great credit that we have quelled the catastrophe and wiped out all the thieves, and we haven't lost a single person."
"It's a great achievement, but I don't dare to take it. Don't worry, brother, when I arrive at the fortress, I will report it truthfully, and I will definitely be able to win a big reward for you at that time. This kind of battle with zero battle losses is something that many people will never be able to fight in their lifetime. ”
"I'm not in the army, and I don't dare to lead the army. In a word, when the time comes, the eldest brother will listen to my advice. ”
Chen Mo thought very simply, people like Yang Qi were only suitable for staying in the army.
Since this is the case, let's help him go higher, anyway, they are all their own brothers, and they will have a good care in the future.
"Don't say anything else, my brother's suggestion, I have to listen to it."
Yang Qi was delicate, and it was easy to understand the deep meaning of Chen Mo's words, so he didn't refuse.
Of course, he wouldn't really have much hope, after all, the situation in the fortress was much more complicated than what he had just said.
Chen Mo is indeed talented, but as the old saying goes, Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable.
"Brother Yang, Chen Mo, do you have an idea for something?"
At this time, Huameishu walked out.
"Isn't it that the people inside are not optimistic?" Chen Mo asked.
"Yes." Hua Meishu nodded, "After interrogation, I learned that the food was full of sweat medicine, and because the other party was very heavy, he would have to wake up tomorrow at the earliest." I'm afraid it's too late to travel tonight. ”
"Are you sure you'll wake up tomorrow?" Yang Qi's eyelids jumped suddenly.
"Not sure." Hua Meishu shook his head, "This is also what I'm worried about, if I stay here for too long, will it delay the delivery of supplies." When the time comes, the military will blame it, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat. ”
"Just get them in the car." Chen Mo reminded.
"This really doesn't work." Yang Qi smiled bitterly, "There is a section of road ahead that is very difficult to walk, and each car must be equipped with an experienced driver." However, the nature of this mission determines that there can be damage to the hands of the people, and the materials must be preserved. ”
"So what to do?"
Hua Meishu and Yang Qi have no ideas.
Only Chen Mo laughed disapprehantly.
