Chapter 13: Analysis, Persuasion, and Ideas (Revised)
Begonia could see at a glance that Haijiao was reluctant.
She asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with my brother?" Don't you want to tell people that the enemy will come and break the city? But we couldn't convince Grandpa to leave, and we couldn't guarantee that we wouldn't meet Hu people halfway after leaving. There is no other way to save their lives than to tell the generals the truth and let them resist the enemy's army? "So you just be obedient!
Haijiao didn't know what the little sister was thinking, so she only whispered, "Why do you want to tell them?" They failed to keep Suzhou in their previous lives, and I heard that it was negligence in their duties that caused the accident. ”
Haitang thought for a while: "Except for that Sun Yonglu, the other generals are very capable, and they have guarded the border for many years, and nothing has gone wrong. I believe that if they had been alerted to the city in time and had prepared for an enemy attack in advance, it would have been impossible for them to have been able to defend Suzhou. The city of Suzhou is broken, it should be the spy surnamed Sun, as long as he is arrested, and then tell the generals that the enemy will come, they will definitely be able to drive the enemy away. ”
She lowered her voice and said to Haijiao: "Grandpa has been an official here for many years, and many generals and adults have befriended him. If you can help the generals resist the Hu army, grandpa and you will be tantamount to making a great contribution. Then who are we afraid of coming? Uncle Cousin, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu can also go out openly. That Sun Yonglu believed the wrong spy and almost harmed Suzhou City, and he didn't know if he could keep his official position afterwards, where would he have the leisure to embarrass his uncle? ”
Hai Jiao was a little unimpressed: "Are those generals really credible?" In the last life, our family ended up in the end of the family, who reached out and pulled us? Afterwards, I fled back from the Hu Ren Horse Farm and tried to go home, but I was beaten half to death. At that time, so many people heard me say my name, and my grandfather's official position, who would save me? The one who occupies our house is the official in the city, and I heard that he is also an old senior, so he really doesn't know who I am?! ”
Haitang looked at the expression on Haijiao's face, knowing that the suffering experience of his previous life must have caused his heart to become extreme, and it was not easy to trust people. But it doesn't matter, she can guide him slowly.
She asked, "When my brother fled back to Suzhou, what was the surname of the general in charge?" Is it the surname Zhou? ”
Hai Jiao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not surnamed Zhou, it's a ...... Everyone else calls him General Ma, and he is said to be Sun Dashuai's confidant. ”
Haitang blinked: "We have been at the border for many years, when have you heard of Sun Dashuai?" can be called a handsome, only the old marshal of Zhenguo Gong Zhou, right? This Sun Dashuai shouldn't mean Sun Yonglu, right? He worked against the Zhenguo Mansion and was bent on seizing power, did he really let him succeed in his previous life? ”
Hai Jiao thought: "So...... In the years after I returned to the border city of Dachu in my last life, I did hear that the Zhenguo Mansion was suppressed, and several major generals died, and two people were disabled. Afterward...... Almost ten years later, Marshal Zhou of Zhenguo died, and Mrs. Guogong took her grandchildren to live in Beijing for a long time. At that time, the northwest border pass was changed again, and the one in charge of the handsome seal was a general He, who came from the command of Zhenguo Gong, and was originally guarding Liangzhou. The previous Sun Dashuai was also defeated because of the loss of power of the concubine. He doesn't have any real skills, and when he lost his position, everyone in the army applauded! ”
Begonia clasped his hands: "Then I know!" In this Suzhou War, those generals who were good friends with their grandfather must have died in battle, but it attracted the spy Sun Yonglu to escape, or he knew that he was wrong, and in order to cover up his crimes, he deliberately put the responsibility for the defeat on the heads of the major generals and other generals of the Zhenguo Mansion. He has the support of the concubine and the elder of the pavilion, not only was he not punished, but he also became a marshal! As a marshal, he could no longer stay in Suzhou, so he planted his henchmen here. When my brother fled back, there was no Zhou family in this Suzhou City, so naturally no one would hear Grandpa's official name and come to take care of you. ”
The people in the city who knew that his grandfather Haixi Cliff had a close relationship with the Zhou family of the Zhenguo Mansion were already lucky if he didn't fall into the reef.
Reef's eyes widened in shock, never expecting that the truth of the matter could be like this. The grief and indignation of the previous life seem to have dissipated a little. At least, he knew that his family had not really been betrayed by his friends.
When Haitang took advantage of his shaking heart, he continued to persuade: "Brother, you see, the generals in the city are defenseless and have been scheming, and this is the result. That Sun Yonglu has benefited, even if our family successfully escapes from Suzhou, it may not end well. The power of the Sun family is great, not only at the border pass, our hometown is in Zhili, and the Sun family knows that we have a relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, and we will not have a happy life when we return to our hometown. Therefore, it is necessary to let the generals know about the spy. As long as they defeat the enemy and report the collusion between Sun Yonglu and the spies to the court, they will be the unlucky! Our family has been credited, no matter where we live in the northwest, there are people who will take care of us. ”
Haijiao was a little moved, but there was one difficult thing, and he didn't know how to solve it: "What do I have to say to convince the generals that the Hu people are going to send a large army to attack Suzhou City?" You can't tell them that I've lived two lives, can I? "Not everyone is as convinced of everything he says as Xiaomei does.
Haitang deliberately made a meditative appearance, in fact, he already had a case in his heart, and he was silent for a while before giving him an idea: "My brother said that he overheard that the spy and his accomplices were secretly discussing it, saying that you overheard it by chance, so even if the spy was arrested and denied it, the generals would only think that he was quibbling." Anyway, this person is a real spy, and there must be evidence on him to prove this, so it is not a slander against him. ”
Hai Jiao snorted lightly: "Of course he has evidence on him!" When I went to follow him yesterday, I really saw him connecting with his accomplices! His accomplice still followed our family into the city, and he is really a Guazhou merchant! ”
Begonia was a little surprised: "Ah! In this way, my brother doesn't have to lie, he just needs to tell the truth. What did the spy say to his accomplices? Can my brother hear me? ”
Haijiao nodded: "The spy took a large bag of things from his accomplice's hand, and said in a low voice for a long time. I was far away, and I didn't really hear them, except vaguely that they seemed to be talking about the well of the barracks or something......"
Haitang clapped his palms together: "Could it be that they are planning to put medicine in the well water used by the army every day?" If this is the case, even if the city is closed in time to warn, the defenders in the city will not be able to resist the enemy attack! I have long been tortured by medicine and my hands and feet are weak! ”
Haijiao gritted his teeth: "Yes, it's very likely!" But there was absolutely no warning in Sekijo! "He was in the city in his last life, on Zhonggu Street in the center of Suzhou. If Guancheng really had a warning, even if the Suzhou guards were drugged and could not wake up, the people on the street were not deaf, and they would definitely hear the alarm bell and see the beacon fire.
Haitang held his hand tightly and said in an encouraging tone: "It's okay, the things of the previous life are over." Let's tell grandpa about the matter, and ask him to quickly inform the generals in the city, guard the well, don't let the tricks succeed, and find a way to replace the guards on the side of the city, don't let Sun Yonglu miss the big thing. As long as Suzhou City is prepared, even if the Hu army attacks, we can beat the enemy back!" ”
Reef took a deep breath, a surge of courage welling up in his chest, knowing exactly what he should be doing right now.
He nodded heavily to his sister, then turned and walked out of the east wing, heading to the main room. He wants to make amends to his grandfather, and then tell his grandfather the secret he "eavesdropped", and ask his grandfather to tell the generals of Suzhou Wei that they must defend Suzhou!
