"A great family."

Shi Zhouhaocong's face became solemn, recalling Liu Bin's advice to him, and said:

"The family and the strong in Jingnan are not as powerful as Jingbei, but they are also quite powerful."

"Especially the most powerful Meng clan, which should not be underestimated."

Qi Yanqi nodded, after he came to Jingnan, the first time he heard about the name of the Meng family.

Not only is it like most big families, but it has a huge power and many mouths.

is still a family of righteousness.

Today's head of the family is the dean of Yuelu Academy and a famous hermit.

Through Yuelu Academy, he has established good relations with many families.

That Meng Feng is an unknown side branch of the Meng family.

But even a side branch has been made a county guard.

Beggar Yan said worriedly:

"Now the situation in Jingnan is unclear, if the family has other intentions, then as soon as the Han army arrives, it will be dangerous."

Through Luzon and his party, many families have earned a lot of money.

Some of the big families who are still in the Han Dynasty have taken the gold and silver earned from the sea trade to make up for the losses of the ecological survey.

And some other families who are not under the rule of the Han Dynasty for the time being, go to sea once, and only make profits.

Meng is one of them.

Xu to make heavy profits can be said to move the family?

That Liu Pheasant had already made heavy profits through sea trade.

Even to describe it as heavy profit, it is no longer suitable.

Luzon was only the first stop on the Maritime Silk Road.

There were many more exotic states in the future.

It's all a boatload of gold and silver!

Shi Zhou Haocong just smiled faintly, waved his hand and said:

"Don't panic, I'm prepared! Calculate the time, and it is time for people to arrive. ”

As soon as Shi Zhou Haocong's words fell, he heard a voice outside:

"General, there are people outside asking to see you!"

"Let him in!"

Shi Zhou Haocong hurriedly said.

After a while, a man walked in.

He is about thirty years old, and his eyes are shrewd.

The man came to the room and saluted to Shi Zhou Haocong:

"I've seen the general!"

Shi Zhou Haocong asked:

"What's the matter, is there anything abnormal in the Meng clan now?"

The man arched his hand and said:

"A few years ago, I was ordered by the military advisor to come to Jingnan to join the Meng family."

"Now it is one of the Meng's nursing homes."

"A month ago, someone secretly saw Meng Hui, the head of the Meng family, and judging by his skills, he should be the embroidered messenger of the Han Dynasty."

Shi Zhou Haocong asked:

"Is the embroidered messenger still in the city?"

The man nodded and said:

"In! However, the place where the person settled is not easy to find! ”

"General, this is"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qi Yanqiu looked stunned.

A few years ago, Shi Zhou's department arranged people around Meng's side?

Could it have been a few years ago that this day would have been expected?

Shi Zhou Haocong shook his head, not explaining the matter too clearly.

Even if the two tribes are in the honeymoon period now, there is no need to dig out their hearts and lungs.

Everything is designed by Liu Bin, the general of his own army.

A few years ago, Liu Bin saw the destruction of the Puliuru Division, and after Yue Shaoqian's troops entered Gaozhou, he took precautions.

At that time, although I didn't expect that the Han army could hit Jingnan so quickly.

But in Jingnan, it is also good for people with henchmen to be able to monitor those big families and know what they are doing.

After all, the big family, whether it is for the Han court or the Donghu Babu, is actually an unstable factor.

The Donghu people can only cooperate with the family clan, and with this cooperation, the status of the family family will rise, and it will be easier to get out of their control.

But it really worked, and the shadows left before can now monitor Meng's every move.

But if there is any abnormal movement, it can be acted in time.

Shi Zhou Haocong waved his hand and said:

"It's just a shadow, and you don't use it less."

"The most important thing now is the situation in Jingnan."

"It seems that although the Meng family has colluded with the Han Dynasty, since the embroidered envoy has not left, it means that he is not in a hurry to stand in line."

"Then Meng Feng is afraid that it is the same."

Shi Zhou Haocong recalled Liu Bin's advice and continued:

"Now that I have come to Jingnan, presumably that embroidered cloth envoy will definitely contact Meng and Meng Feng again."

"This is our chance to have evidence of their incrimination."

"Not bad!"

Qi Yanqi nodded and said:

"When the general arrives in Jingnan, the Han people know about it, and they will inevitably persuade Meng Feng to rebel again, and at the same time, make some fuss about Meng's body."

"Once you get the help of Meng and Meng Feng, the Han army will enter Jingnan easily."

"This opportunity, then Liu Pheasant will definitely not let it go!"

Shi Zhou Haocong pretended to be holding a wisdom pearl, pointed at the shadow son who had infiltrated the Meng family, and said with a smile:

"You go back to Meng first."

"Keep an eye on that embroiderer, once the embroiderer comes into contact with Meng again, don't act rashly, just write down his appearance."

Three days later, the shadow man came to see him again.

Shi Zhou Haocong asked:

"How's it going, what's going on with the embroiderer?"

The Shadow replied:

"During the day, the embroidered envoy secretly met the head of the Meng family again."

"Not for long, though."

"I thought that Meng Shi was still waiting for the price to sell, and he was not in a hurry to agree."

Beggar Yan said worriedly:

"Sure enough, even if you don't agree this time, if you increase the weight again and again, the Meng clan will eventually fall to the big man."

"And there's that Meng Feng!"

Shi Zhou Haocong just shook his head and said:

"Don't worry."

"But the Han people have moved, and we can't just stand still."

"He wrote down the appearance of the embroiderer, and we can take the opportunity to make trouble."

"Meng, and Meng Feng are two objects after all."

"Strike at the weaker Meng Feng first, which can not only stabilize the soldiers and horses of Changsha County, but also deter the Meng clan."

Begging Yan admired Shi Zhou Haocong's wisdom and strategy, anyway, he was not known for his strategy, so he listened to his strategy.

Shi Zhou Haocong took out a pen and paper, handed it to the shadow, and said:

"I've been assassinated, draw the Assassin's appearance!"

"Yes!"

The shadow boy drew with a pen.

The finished painting is quite abstract.

Shi Zhou Haocong and Qi Yan couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths when they saw each other.

Just a circle, with a nose and ears attached.

Thanks to his pockmarked face, he looks very recognizable.

Otherwise, it is completely unrecognizable.

Shi Zhou Haocong coughed, but fortunately, Liu Bin also knew that the painting technique of the shadow son was not very good, so there were other arrangements.

"The Assassin, dressed in armor."

"And with a long knife."

"I was chased by my guards all the way to the vicinity of the barracks before disappearing."

"Probably someone in the military."

Begging for a sudden realization.

Framed and framed!

It's a simple strategy, but it works.

As the county guard of Changsha, Meng Feng received the news of Shi Zhou Haocong's assassination as soon as possible.

At the same time, he also got a wanted warrant.

“.”

What's this drawing?

Meng Feng's face gradually became gloomy.

It's abstract, but it's distinctive.

A pockmarked face.

The embroiderer who contacted him and Meng.

Not only is his face covered with pockmarks, but he is even called Zhang Mazi.

Zhang Mazi happened to have seen him before, and he also went to Meng's family.

It's all to persuade them to join the Han Dynasty.

But Meng didn't move.

Meng Feng was not in a hurry.

After all, the Great Han has just sent troops.

Moreover, Emperor Han and Yue Shaoqian were both sick.

Regardless of whether it is a real illness or a fake illness, the speed of marching will be much slower.

There's no need to rush to take sides.

And offense and defense are different, and it is not so easy to regain lost ground.

Even if you can win a battle, you will always attack the city.

The Han army is full of 70,000 soldiers and horses, and they take the lead to attack the city?

However, Meng Feng didn't plan to tell Shi Zhou Haocong about the embroidered clothes envoy and himself being the inner ghost arranged by Shihai.

Sit back and watch the tiger fight, wait for the situation to become clear, and then be able to see who has the advantage before making a decision.

However, Zhang Mazi's assassination of Shi Zhou Haocong made Meng Feng, who was originally going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait for the price to sell, to be full of resentment.

Armor, long knives, and running to the barracks, what do you mean?

I'm afraid that you didn't plan to assassinate Shi Zhou Haocong at all, but only planned to pretend to be a person in the army to set up a blame, right?

It is still a little difficult to force a huge Meng Shi to stand in line quickly.

But forcing Meng Feng to stand in line couldn't be simpler.

Shi Zhou Haocong was assassinated by someone suspected of being in the army, and Meng Feng, the county guard who held the military power and was in charge of the city defense, would be suspected.

As long as he suspects and further investigates, Meng Feng cannot guarantee that his careful thinking will not be seen.

"This pockmark is really a dog, dare to frame me now, I'm afraid I will report it directly tomorrow!"

Meng Feng thought about it for a while, but he still didn't rush to turn his face.

"The ability of the Han Emperor is indeed terrifying."

"Knock that pockmark first, and then reveal some kindness."

"Hey, if only the Meng family was willing to vote directly for Han, it would be great."

He planned to meet Zhang Mazi in person.

Let this guy converge a bit.

Let's not engage in these crooked ways, is it okay to have a tacit understanding?

Anyway, now that I am begging for money and Shi Zhou Haocong with a large army, I have such a small number of county soldiers in my hands, even if there is a rebellion, I can't make any waves.

It's better to keep providing you with information, and then wait for the Han army to call, and then cooperate with the outside.

Isn't that much better than intrigue?

Evening.

Meng Feng took advantage of the night and slipped out of the house.

Contacting Zhang Mazi is very important, not only can't let anyone go, but even he doesn't dare to let anyone know.

However, his every move has long been monitored.

Beggar Yan admired it:

"The general is really like a god, Meng Feng must be looking for the embroidered clothes."

"With such a combination of stolen goods, Meng Feng is just fish and meat on the board."

"You can even use this to knock the Meng family, get Meng Feng and the Meng family, and Changsha County is impregnable!"

He really admired, even if he knew that Meng Feng might be a little cautious, but there was no way.

After all, if Meng Feng is directly arrested, there is no evidence, and the military spirit must be unstable.

And if he is not careful, Meng Feng will completely fall to the Han Dynasty and rebel directly.

Its main family, the Meng family, also has to let people be more vigilant, in case Meng Feng introduces the Meng family as a helper, Changsha County will fall into an extremely passive situation.

And Shi Zhou Haocong used a trick to lure Meng Feng to take the initiative to contact the embroidered envoy.

When the time comes, they will be caught, and Meng Feng can only be arrested.

And the generals saw Meng Feng's rebellion with their own eyes, so they didn't have to worry about the mutiny.

Shi Zhou Haocong just shook his head and said quite modestly:

"It's just a little trick, and you don't need to praise it."

His heart was already like a stormy wave.

Liu Bin is really clever and scheming, thousands of miles away, and he can even calculate the things in Changsha County without bad scores.

even linked to the back hand that had been left a few years ago.

With the plan of the military advisor, how can Jingnan lose it?!

Meng Feng came all the way to the courtyard where the embroidered clothes were hidden.

Knocked lightly on the door, right to the code.

As soon as Meng Feng entered the courtyard, he had an extra long knife around his neck.

However, he was not alarmed, looked at Zhang Mazi with a knife with cold eyes, and said:

"What do you mean?"

"Meaning."

Zhang Mazi also had a cold face, and said calmly:

"You sent someone to pretend to be me, stabbed Zhou Haocong, exposed my face, and asked me what I mean?"

When Meng Feng heard this, he said calmly:

"I thought it was you who went to assassinate Shi Zhou Haocong, and then pretended to be an officer, wanting to blame me and force me to fall to the big man."

After saying that, the two of them frowned together.

"It's not good, it's a fraud!"

Zhang Mazi immediately wanted to run over the wall, but was forced back by a rain of arrows outside.

"Hahaha, just a small courtyard, you two Sleeping Dragons and Phoenix Chicks can gather!"

There was a loud laugh from outside the door, and the door was slammed open.

Shi Zhou Haocong and begged for money, and entered the courtyard together.

The words were full of disdain for the sleeping dragon and phoenix.

We even pushed the Wuhou Temple, is it necessary to respect you for three points?

"Okay, you Meng Feng, you dare to collude with the big man!"

Meng Feng was shocked when he saw this, and then he hurriedly said:

"General, I found the traces of the assassin today, and I was only afraid that the assassin would run away, so I deliberately took the first step!"

"You're doing a good job."

Shi Zhou Haocong nodded.

Begging Yan was a little puzzled, but after a little thought, he understood.

After Meng Feng, there is also Meng.

Although they came prepared and calculated, they didn't have to do too much.

It would be good to take away Meng Feng's military power.

Seeing this, Meng Feng didn't struggle much.

There are Donghu people outside, so let's stop it quickly.

Zhang Mazi saw that Meng Feng had changed his words, and he didn't say a word, so he bit his tongue and committed suicide on the spot, so as not to be tricked out of more information.

Shi Zhou Haocong and Qi Yan were not surprised to see this.

The embroidered envoy who can be sent by the Han Dynasty to go deep into the hinterland of Jingnan and come to Changsha County must be a dead soldier.

It was easier for them to die than anything else.

But Rao is like this, and the two of them are also impressed in their hearts.

It has only been more than a year since Liu Pheasant resumed embroidery.

In just one year, it was already a good look, and even the dead were gone.

The extent to which the Han has won the hearts of the people can be seen.

Shi Zhou Haocong looked at Meng Feng.

Meng Feng was already sweating profusely, and he didn't know how he would be treated.

"Your wife, very good."

Meng Feng, as a side branch of the Meng family, is also the county guard of Changsha.

The former boss Shihai was still a pervert.

The vision is naturally very high, and the wife he married is also a famous beauty in ten miles and eight towns.

Hearing Shi Zhou Haocong mention his wife, Meng Feng didn't even dare to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and said in a loud voice:

"If the general is interested, the last general can send his good life to serve the general."

Shi Zhou Haocong showed a touch of smugness and continued:

"Your daughter, too."

Although Meng Feng is five short in stature, his appearance is not bad, his wife is a beauty, and his daughter is naturally not far behind.

At this time, the sweat on Meng Feng's forehead was already dripping to the ground:

"The daughter of the last general, I have admired the general for a long time!"

Shi Zhou Haocong smiled evilly:

"You're not bad either."

Meng Feng trembled for no reason, his body tightened, and he almost wanted to cry:

"The last general. The Last General"

Begging Yan couldn't look at it, and said:

"You sent your wife and daughter to the general's mansion."

"As for you"

"You know what to do."

"Yes"

Meng Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Army, it is estimated that it is over.

Liu Pheasant and Yue Shaoqian contracted the disease, and if they came to seduce again, the reckless Han army would inevitably be defeated.

But as long as he can live, he doesn't care about the flood.

Shi Zhouhaocong saw Meng Feng like this, and his heart was settled.

is worthy of being a military advisor, and it was easy to get rid of Meng Feng, who had other dissenting intentions, and also beat Meng Shi.

even took advantage of Meng Feng to calculate a handful of Han troops.

If the operation is good and everything is going well, maybe only through Meng Feng's counter-intrigue can make the Han army suffer a big loss!

Liu Pheasant, Liu Pheasant, you can't imagine that before the Han army sent troops to Jingzhou, it had already fallen into the calculations of my military advisor!

——

The words were divided into two ends, and in the Han army camp, there was a cough.

After Liu Ke and Yue Shaoqian were "sick", Xue Jia took over military affairs as a general.

At this time, there were still prestigious generals like Di Han in the army, and the soldiers were not convinced at the beginning.

But looking at Xue Jia, coughing every day, almost coughing up blood, but he was still busy with military affairs, writing and painting, and never slackened.

Everyone was moved.

A person who doesn't necessarily survive the next day still works so hard day and night, what else can they say?

Even the emperor and Yue Shaobao would rest and recuperate because of the disease.

Xue Jia is so conscientious.

Every day is like the last day of life, and every order is like a testament.

Earn enough tears.

"Ahem—"

There was a coughing sound in the tent.

After Liu Ke coughed Yue Shaoqian's cough, you coughed and I appeared on the stage, and the aftermath lingered in my ears.

Every time Xue Jia saw this scene, his face was a little dark.

If this continues, all the generals in the army will be sick and have the same appearance.

"Ahem—"

"Your Majesty, Yue Shaobao, you better be more restrained."

"No, it's not like it's more restrained."

Liu Ke retracted, he was tired from coughing all the time, but he still didn't let it go.

Who doesn't know, Xue Jia coughed like this, and he was so stunned that the three military orders forbade it.

Every military order, the soldiers will treat it as a testament, and complete it with their hearts, and the execution has simply risen to an unbelievable level.

The generals who knew the inside story were all full of taste.

Damn, is there still such a way?

Yue Shaoqian didn't tease too much, and asked about the military situation as soon as possible:

"How are the four counties of Jingnan now?"

Xue Jia frowned:

"Not optimistic."

"Meng Feng has never expressed his position, and Meng Shi is also more ambiguous."

"Now that I have cut off contact with Zhang Mazi, it is not good to send embroidered clothes to go deep into the rain."

Liu Ke nodded:

"It seems that we are still in a hurry."

Meng Feng and Meng's attitude has also been speculated for a long time.

After all, the Han army is still far away from Changsha County, and it is obviously unrealistic to mobilize internal response so far.

At that time, he called out Hepu County, also because Liu Ke had personally led the troops and came to the city.

Although there are few soldiers, there is always a shadow.

Now Meng Feng and Meng Shi can't even see a shadow, so naturally they won't be in danger.

But it doesn't matter.

Because, this is all Xue Jia's strategy.
