Chapter 279: Deception (1)
That night, Zhuang Shaoyou summoned Mo Mei, Ink and Mo Thirteen and Hu Sanniang to hold a family banquet in the mansion to entertain Hu Sanniang, the guest of honor, Hu Sanniang had a lot of fun, while laughing with everyone, while constantly teasing Mo Thirteen, who has always been arrogant, Mo Thirteen has become silent, and she is a little daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, and she is very well-behaved. There are only the general, the two elders of the Mo family, and the VIP Hu Sanniang, who does Mo 13 dare to be arrogant? Who can you be arrogant with?
The next day, Zhuang Shaoyou and Mo Mei were in the house to deal with official business, and Hu Sanniang continued to drag Mo Shisan to go shopping in Puyang City, having a lot of fun, in view of the huge cost yesterday, so Hu Sanniang was very restrained today, just bought some simple gadgets, and forced Mo Shisan to pay out of his own pocket.
That night, Zhuang Shaoyou hugged Mo Mei and exercised fiercely, and then hugged each other and fell asleep.
In his sleep, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard, and Zhuang Shaoyou, who had always been alert, immediately woke up from his sleep, estimating that something big might happen! Immediately got up and changed clothes, pushed the door open, and went out.
Sure enough, the subordinates outside the door reported that something had happened to Onozawa!
Hurriedly came to the hall and saw a man covered in blood lying on the ground, motionless, and the doctor next to him was helpless.
Zhuang Shaoyou asked, "What's going on?" ”
Le Jin came over early in the morning, and already understood what had happened, so he immediately responded:
"General, this person claims to be from the Onozawa Water Village, and he has come to report on the orders of the great boss! It is said that there is a man-made rebellion in the water village! The life and death of the big boss are unknown! That was last night! The man died before he could speak. ”
When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his face was cloudy, and he saw that the persuasion was about to succeed, and he would take down Onozawa without blood, which was the best! During the day, he had already begun to prepare for the reorganization of the Onozawa Water Thieves, who would have thought that such a thing would happen at this juncture!
It is likely to lead to the abandonment of previous efforts, according to Tian Feng's strategy, it is not appropriate to make too big moves at present, so as not to cause a joint local rebound, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop!
When Hu Cheng was about to leave yesterday, Zhuang Shaoyou had considered sending troops to go with him, but he was worried that this move would cause dissatisfaction with the water village, so he let Hu Cheng do it, but he didn't expect it to be such a result in the end!
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
"Sanniang, calm down! Don't mess around! ”
"No, my eldest brother, I dreamed that my eldest brother was covered in blood and asked me why I didn't go back with him!"
The soldiers outside the hall just wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by Zhuang Shaoyou.
"Let them in!"
Hu Sanniang came to the hall and saw a bloody person lying on the ground, she was immediately shocked, and pounced over and said eagerly: "Little worm, little worm, what's wrong with you?" How is my eldest brother? Worm, you speak! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou said in a low voice: "He was sent by your eldest brother to report the news, and there are people in Shuizhai who rebel!" ”
When Hu Sanniang heard this, she immediately pounced, grabbed Zhuang Shaoyou's arm and asked, "What about my eldest brother?" What happened to my eldest brother? ”
Zhuang Shaoyou shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, he lost his breath after he finished speaking!" ”
"You talk nonsense! How could you not know? It's all you, if it weren't for you, how could Shuizhai be like this? You did it on purpose! Deliberately lure my eldest brother here, and then make a ghost in the water village, isn't it! ”
Mo Shisan hurriedly came over, pulled Hu Sanniang away, and persuaded: "Sanniang, calm down!" Things haven't been figured out yet, don't be cranky! ”
Hu Sanniang ignored Mo Thirteen, turned around and walked out, and said, "No! I'm going to go back and see! My big brother is still waiting for me! I don't want to stay here! ”
Without waiting for Zhuang Shaoyou to signal, Mo Sanniang had already rushed up and hugged Hu Sanniang, Hu Sanniang went crazy and beat Mo Sanniang fiercely, but Mo 13 never said anything.
After a long time, Hu Sanniang gradually calmed down, and Mo Thirteen "Poof!" ~" spurted out a mouthful of blood and said, "Lady, you are murdering your husband!" ”
Hu Sanniang was stunned, the woman who has been a water bandit all the year round has much more strength than ordinary people, and she hit Mo Thirteen on the back lightly or heavily, not to mention hundreds of times, and Mo Thirteen is in good health, and ordinary people would have been beaten down a long time ago.
"I'm sorry, Thirteen, I'm sorry!"
Mo 13 smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I don't blame you, I'm used to being abused anyway!" ”
Hu Sanniang's face turned red, "Wow! He threw himself into Mo Thirteen's arms and cried aggrievedly.
Everyone in the hall watched this scene silently, and after a long time, Mo Shisan seemed to notice everyone's strange gaze, looked up, and was immediately embarrassed, and quickly coaxed Hu Sanniang, moved her away a little, knelt on the ground and said to Zhuang Shaoyou: "General! Please leave this matter to Thirteen! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou nodded slightly: "Thirteen, Sanniang, don't worry!" This general will definitely find out about this matter, no matter who did it, he will definitely seek justice for your eldest brother! Sanniang, tell me about the situation in Shuizhai first, and tell me everything you know! ”
So far, there is nothing to hide, Hu Sanniang is about to introduce the situation of the water village, although it is a little messy, but Zhuang Shaoyou is still very keen to understand the most likely reason.
After listening to Hu Sanniang's explanation, Zhuang Shaoyou thought for a moment, and immediately ordered:
"Master Mo, immediately mobilize all the ships of the Sailor Division, and be sure to prepare for departure before dawn!"
"Yes!"
"Wen Qian and Tian Junshi, you two continue to stay in Puyang, ready to reinforce at any time! At the same time, pay attention to the movement in Hebei! If General Ben guessed correctly, Yuan Shao has already gone to Jizhou! This matter is likely to be related to Yuan Shao, and this general has granted you the right to improvise! If there is an emergency, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can act cheaply! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
"Chief Wu, immediately send out all the manpower to monitor the actions of the warlords in Yanzhou, and if there is anything abnormal, immediately report it to General Le and Tian Junshi! In addition, send a message to Liaonan and transport another 500,000 grains! ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
"General Wu Kuang, send your cavalry to monitor the movements of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Yuan Yi of Shanyang County! If there is a situation, you can negotiate with Wen Qian and Tian Junshi to deal with it! ”
"Yes, General!"
"Gongyou, early tomorrow morning, prepare a generous gift and go to Jibei to visit Bao Xin! If there is any movement in Yanzhou, try to keep it neutral! ”
"The subordinates will live up to the general's trust!"
After assigning the task, Zhuang Shaoyou comforted Hu Sanniang again, and then went back to the room to rest, by the way, to appease the worried Mo Mei.
Two hours later, the fleet was ready, with a total of twelve warships, four five-masted warships, eight four-masted warships, and one three-masted warship remained to patrol the river in Puyang.
Zhuang Shaoyou led the crowd to the dock to board the ship, and Xun You, Ink, Mo Thirteen and Hu Sanniang walked together.
At dusk, the fleet entered the mouth of Onozawa Lake, led by Hu Sanniang, and continued to move in the direction of Shuizhai.
In Puyang City, Le Jin, Tian Feng, Wu Kuang and Wu Liang sat in the mansion to discuss things, and their subordinates reported that Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, sent an invitation and invited General Le to the mansion for a banquet!
Le Jin looked at Tian Feng, Tian Feng shook his head, Le Jin also meant this, the two agreed on the same thing, and immediately said: "Tell Qiao Taishou that the Japanese army is busy with military affairs and can't get out!" I'll apologize another day! ”
After sending the messenger, Tian Feng asked, "Director Wu, is there any news from Hebei?" ”
Wu Liang shook his head: "Military Division, it's been a whole day, and there is no news!" There was no movement from Liu Dai there! There is a lot of movement in Shanyang Yuan's place! However, the focus seems to be on the Onozawa direction! Yuan Yi's vanguard of 3,000 men had already marched towards the West Bank of Jersey. ”
Tian Feng thought for a moment and said, "Yuan Benchu's original ambition is in Puyang!" ”
When Le Jin heard this, he immediately frowned: "Why did the military advisor say this?" ”
Tian Feng smiled slightly: "General Le, two, Han Fu is recruiting troops in Jizhou, obviously Yuan Shao is behind the scenes, otherwise how can Han Fu's reputation make those wealthy families in Hebei move?" If the guess is correct, Yuan Shao's men and horses are now or even have crossed the river to Puyang! ”
When Wu Kuang heard this, he asked in surprise, "What?" How is this possible? How come my scout didn't find anything! ”
Tian Feng's eyes narrowed slightly: "That's because the time has not yet come!" Everything will be clear tonight! ”
Wu Liang didn't understand soldiers and couldn't interject, but Le Jin asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, then why didn't Liu Dai and Yuan Yi move?" On the contrary, Qiao Mao actually made such a decision? ”
"Qiao Mao, the grass on the wall, is just an outcast in this big game of chess! How can real chess pieces be easily exposed in front of us? The Shogun guessed that they might move, but he wasn't sure! ”
Le Jin asked again: "In that case, why didn't the military advisor talk to the general about this?" ”
Tian Feng smiled: "Onozawa is very important to the general!" Therefore, this trip must be made by the general in person to convince the hearts of the people! Yuan Hao just doesn't want the general to be embarrassed! If the general had known in advance, he would have left some of the sailors behind, which would not only have done nothing, but would have made the enemy more vigilant! Puyang City is now strong and strong, does General Le think that the 20,000 elites of our army are still afraid of this group of local chickens and dogs? All they rely on is a conspiracy! Now that the conspiracy has become a conspiracy, all we have to do is to weaken the enemy as much as possible! Reduce a few points of resistance to the general's plan! ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded.
Le Jin asked again: "Strategist, do you want to take Qiao Mao down or monitor it?" Is there a way to take over the Puyang City Gate? ”
Tian Feng shook his head: "To Yuan Shao, Qiao Mao is an outcast, but to us, Qiao Mao is a good son!" Without Qiao Mao, how can you lure the snake out of the hole? Besides, if he does it now, how can Qiao Mao see Yuan Shao's true face? Qiao Mao is still of great use to the general! Now I want to be quiet and the enemy does not wait, Qiao Mao is the beginning of the division of the Yanzhou warlords! ”
