"My lord, shall we contact the spies in the city?"

"Nope."

"My lord, why don't we assassinate a few generals? Then there will be chaos in the city. ”

"Shut up."

"My lord, shall we go out for a walk..."

In the inn room, Gu Huai, who was looking down at the spy, raised his head and frowned: "There are more than thirty spies hanging on this line, do you know what the consequences will be if they are exposed?" Don't risk their lives. ”

On the other side of the table, Mang Chong held his chin with his hands, looking delicate, and his eyes were full of the serious and dedicated young scholar opposite.

It's just that the interest in his eyes is more to test where the limit of Gu Huai's patience is... Or she wanted to see if this sanctimonious reader would also have the moment when she was impatient and even used power to force her to shut up.

Gu Huai, who looked down at the letter, naturally noticed this gaze, he sighed a little helplessly, and put away the spy report.

This coquettishness and beauty are just appearances... The woman in front of her has been trained for a long time, she is a spy who doesn't take human life seriously, although she is her boss, but looking at the previous situation, this woman may not necessarily take herself seriously.

He was a little curious, why did this woman come to the Secret Spy Division, during the time when she went south to Jinling, she kept the Secret Spy Division in good order, and now the Secret Spy Division can be so active in the war, she has taken a lot of credit, why is such a person just an ordinary spy?

But now is clearly not the time to explore this... Gu Huai retracted his gaze: "The situation is not very good, but everyone who has fought under the prince in the north before has been placed on the edge, Geng Bingwen's arrangement is not leaky, even if they have the heart to help, they can't make waves." ”

He thoughtfully picked up a spy report: "What I care about the most is this news... In addition to the necessary generals of the three armies, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies also sent a large number of generals to the north, and now they are in Zhending City. ”

"What does this mean?"

"It shows that the imperial court is not worried about the important town of the Nine Sides," Gu Huaichang sighed, "There are so many people here at once... I'm afraid that the original nine-sided generals will be summoned to Beijing, especially Xuanfu Datong, I'm afraid there will be a big reshuffle. ”

Mang Chong understood: "This can make a fuss? ”

"After all, it still depends on the frontal battlefield, if you can win, plus this news, what do you think the generals of Xuanfu Datong think?" Gu Huai came to a conclusion: "If the imperial court wins, it can collect the military power of the border army without blood, but if it loses, it will be a real stinky move." ”

Even if you do intelligence work, the last thing you see is still the strength on the surface... Gu Huai felt a little powerless at the moment, this news is very important, there must be many generals who are unwilling to give up their real power and go back to the capital to be yelled at, and they still have a lot of arrangements over there, and they may be able to reap unexpected effects when the time comes.

This news had to be sent back to Beiping.

Gu Huai carefully put away the spy report, he already had some lists in his heart, he was going to Zhending to see if there was a chance to rebel against some generals, these names can be regarded as having suffered all the way, even if Zhu Di looks precarious now, it is not that there is no chance of success.

Of course, the necessary precautions must be done, otherwise if someone is tied up and sent to invite merit, it will really become a joke.

He stood up: "I'm going to go out, you stay..."

Before he finished speaking, a deep male voice sounded outside the door: "Shopkeeper, are you sure?" ”

The sound of continuous footsteps made Mangzhong's expression change suddenly, and her figure flashed to the window, and her face became even more ugly after pushing it open.

There were so many people coming, and even the streets were blocked... Could it be that the identity is exposed?

However, she was not allowed to discuss with Gu Huai, and as soon as the door creaked, the young general stepped in, and his eyes slowly moved to Gu Huai: "You are Gu Huai?" That court prisoner? ”

It's not as simple as coincidentally naming names... However, seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Gu Huai calmed down a little: "Your Excellency?" ”

Zhang Baoben, who followed in, had been staring at Gu Huai, he recognized Gu Huai or originated from the case that made the Jinling elite circle laugh at the beginning, Gu Huai was a little silent at that time, standing above the court without saying a word, he was still curious about how the nature of the governor could care about such things, and now he understands that everything is because of the little county lord...

Hearing Gu Huai's rhetorical question, Zhang Bao was angry in his heart, pulled out his saber, and said sharply: "Bold!" This is Gu Cheng, the governor of the imperial court's Pingyan Queen's army! You and other anti-thieves, dare to be so arrogant?! ”

Gu Cheng, who was sitting down with a light and breezy appearance just now, was a little dazed, and finally knew why this Zhang Bao was squeezed out to see the grain and grass... Inevitably, I don't know how to look at the atmosphere, if I want to come up, I will settle accounts with Gu Huai, wouldn't it be better to let the soldiers pour in? Why risk your life?

He waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were agitated because of Zhang Bao's words, and naturally sat down at the table, leaning forward slightly: "Ben will only give you one chance... Where's the little princess? ”

Gu Huai let out a long sigh: "Can you say that you can not die?" ”

"Whether you die or not, it's not up to me to decide, but I will send you back to Jinling, and when the time comes, if the Metropolitan Governor is willing to stand up for you for the sake of the little county lord, maybe you can still live."

The calm smile on Gu Huai's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "Today's inn must be a net of heaven and earth, even if I Gu Huai can't escape with wings, but I have become two ghosts under the knife, after tomorrow, who will the two become the souls of everyone?" ”

……

The camp of the Yan army is stationed in Lousang, which is a small place, and the Xiongxian where Geng Bingwen's army is stationed is stationed-for-tat.

But contrary to rumors, after the arrival of the Yan army, not only did they not bother the people, but they camped outside the county on their own, and some officials subordinate to the king of Yan also came out of the barracks to take over government affairs in a decent manner, as if this place had been beaten down by the king of Yan.

The evaluation of the people is naturally very different, some people think that the rumors are false, and some think that the king of Yan is hypocritical, but they fight back and forth, and the life still has to be lived, so some bold woodcutters meet the scouts patrolling when they come back from chopping wood, and they dare to take the initiative to say hello, but they look like the soldiers and civilians are having fun.

It was already late at night, and in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Yan army, Zhu Di was looking at the simple sand table with candles, and the posture of the two armies was staggered, and outside Xiongxian County, there were already scouts fighting each other.

There were a bunch of generals around the sand table, Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu, Zhu Gaoxi, Zhu Gaosui and other generals who followed King Yan to the south, all of them were deducing in low voices, and after a long time, Zhu Di sighed and stopped everyone's whispering:

"Not a drop of water leaks, the first good guard of the Ming Dynasty, deserves its name."

The armor on his body glowed with a cold light: "I originally wanted to see if I could find a chance before the battle, but now it seems that there is no chance at all!" Zhang Yu, how is the investigation of the former army you led? ”

Zhang Yu bowed slightly, but he disagreed with Zhu Di's opinion: "The last general looks at it, the enemy army is sloppy, there are often harassment of the people, and there are even weapons fights in the army, the former army Yang Song and the rear army Pan Zhong are all unscrupulous, and the Chinese army general Geng Bingwen... It's old. ”

He was a little embarrassed to say the most arrogant words: "The last general thinks that it is really easy to defeat them and open the way to the south. ”

Zhu Di glanced at him deeply, with only satisfaction in his eyes, and did not have the slightest intention of reprimanding arrogance.

Before the war, there is often no good end to the wild words, but in front of the situation... I really need someone to stand up and say something light-hearted.

No matter whether Zhang Yu really thinks so or says it casually, it can't affect Zhu Di's strategy at the beginning, since this is the case, it is better to make the mood of his generals relaxed.

Sure enough, these words suddenly relaxed the atmosphere in the account, and Zhu Di also smiled: "Yes, Geng Bingwen... It's already old, and when people are old, they don't have sharpness, so they put on such a big shell for me to fight, but I just like to fight tough battles. ”

He nodded a little sand table: "Geng Bingwen wants to consume with me, but I just don't consume with him, this first battle, I must fight, and I must win!" If the big tent of the Chinese army can't get in, I will fight his front army and rear army! As long as the timing is right, this Xiongxian County, I must gnaw it down! ”

After these bold words, he leaned over and looked at the sand table again, but there was a lingering haze in his eyes: "Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed... But where is Zhu Di's east wind? ”
