Chapter 15: Rumors About the Third Prince (Revision)
Near noon, Haixi Cliff returned home with his grandson Haijiao.
At this time, Begonia has already brushed up on its basic palm skills, basic boxing skills, basic leg methods, and basic light skills proficiency to 2%. Although it is still a long time before she can truly apply them freely, she already knows how to use these basic martial arts, but she is not yet proficient.
To make sure her small body can withstand the intense exercises, she also poured herself a bottle of nutrient solution that came with the gift bag, so that her muscles would become stronger and not hurt her body from daily exercises.
When she saw that it was almost noon, she quickly wiped her sweat and changed her clothes, and when she went out, she saw her grandfather and little brother entering the courtyard.
Grandma Ma told her husband and grandson that lunch was almost ready, and asked them to quickly change their clothes and prepare for dinner. With that, she hurried back to the front yard.
Begonia pretended not to know, and asked Haixi Cliff and Reef: "Where have grandpa and brother gone today?" Why didn't you bring me? ”
Hai Xiya smiled: "You haven't recovered yet, so you want to run out?" How are you doing at home? You don't have a fever anymore, do you? It's time for lunch in a moment, and you can see your little brother go, and make sure to get dressed enough. ”
Begonia answered, secretly gave the little brother a look, and jumped out.
It wasn't until after lunch, when the siblings gathered in the East Wing, that she learned from the reef what had happened this morning.
Haijiao followed Haixi Cliff to visit the familiar General Gu Qinghong. He is the commander of Suzhou Wei, and he is a four-grade commander, and he is extremely trusted by the commander of General Wednesday. He was the boss of Haixi Cliff and Haidingcheng father and son many years ago, Haidingcheng died on the battlefield, or because of the relationship between saving him, so he has always taken great care of the Hai family.
Haijiao told General Gu what he had "eavesdropped", and the latter immediately took the family to see General Wednesday. At General Zhou's office, Haijiao repeated the situation again, and added some information that he had "just remembered". Both General and General Gu took this matter very seriously, and they decided to send additional men to monitor all the wells in the city, just in case, and to keep an eye on the merchant surnamed Sun and his accomplices.
If the evidence cannot be conclusively grasped, it is estimated that Sun Yonglu will protect the spies to the end regardless of his own face. In order to prevent him from secretly making a moth, the general had to send another person to Guancheng on Wednesday to monitor Sun Yonglu and his group.
On Wednesday, the general also thought that the wells that would be targeted by spies might not only be those in Suzhou City. In Jiayuguan City, there is also a deep well, which is for the daily use of the defenders. If there is a problem with this well, the city will be abolished, and Suzhou City will lose its most important first-line barrier, and it will not be able to detect the traces of foreign enemies in time.
General Gu suggested that all Guazhou immigrants stranded outside the city be allowed to enter the city as soon as possible. If their identities are unknown and their origins cannot be confirmed, they can find another place to fence them off and send additional soldiers to guard them, and they are not allowed to move around at will. As long as there are no more people stranded outside the city gate and it does not affect the opening and closing of the city gate, then it will not be a big problem to call Sun Yonglu back. If he makes trouble again after he returns, he can just find an excuse to prevaricate the past, and the key is not to put Guancheng in his hands, so as not to make any mistakes.
General Gu was a little ashamed, in order for the Hai family and the three former exiled prisoners they sheltered to enter the city smoothly and not be discovered by Sun Yonglu, he and Liu Keren worked together to provoke Sun Yonglu away, but he didn't expect it to bring danger to Guancheng. If Suzhou City loses because of this, then his sins will not be able to make up for it!
Hai Xiya said that if General Gu wants to count the guilt on himself, then he is the one who bears the greatest responsibility.
In the end, it was the general on Wednesday who made a conclusion, saying that no one was responsible, and only Sun Yonglu was wrong. Such a businessman of unknown origin and suspicious identity can make him obey just because he claims to be surnamed Sun. If Suzhou City is lost, it is naturally all Sun Yonglu's fault!
Of course, there is no need to pursue any crimes now, the key is to make up for the dead, and not let the Hu people take advantage of the loopholes.
Hai Xiya and General Gu Qinghong hurriedly got up and thanked General Wednesday for his tolerance, and then they began to discuss how to deal with the enemy's surprise attack.
This part of the reef did not hear. After he finished talking about the information he knew, he was sent out of the house and asked the Zhou family's soldiers to take it to play. He was actually very anxious in his heart, eager to know how the generals would defend Suzhou City, but he thought that his grandfather and cousin were also in the house, and then asked them to do so, so he reluctantly held back.
It's a pity that on the way home, no matter how he asked, Grandpa didn't let go of his mouth and revealed a word. This made him very depressed.
When Haitang heard this, he comforted Haijiao: "Brother, don't be depressed, anyway, the matter has already been told to the generals, and it is related to the life and death of all the soldiers and civilians in the entire Suzhou City, and they will handle it carefully." They don't tell you, not because they can't trust you, but because in their eyes, you're just a child. With adults here, why bother children to worry about war? That would make them feel useless. Protecting the family and the people is the responsibility of soldiers. ”
Haijiao glanced at the little sister: "I'm not a real child." I'm in my thirties, okay? Do you still need someone else's protection?! "But...... If the elders and generals didn't tell him about the plan for this reason, he would still be able to accept it. In his previous life, he was not protected by the army, and his heart was full of resentment. Now that the generals have taken the initiative to protect him, he feels warm in his heart, and the resentment he once has gradually dissipated.
He was still in the mood to look at his little sister with a smile: "Grandpa and the generals don't believe me, they think I'm still a child, so that's it." I think you're a kid too, and you're smarter and older than I thought. ”
Haitang opened a pair of innocent big eyes, tilted her head and showed a cute smile: "Of course, I have been the smartest since I was a child!" ”
Haijiao looked at the little sister wordlessly, thinking that he would think that the little sister was too old to look like a child, and he really thought too much. Although I don't remember much about what happened when I was a child, the little sister in my impression is indeed smarter and cuter than her peers.
He smiled and touched his little sister's head, and looked up in the direction of the main room: "It's time for you to take a nap." If you don't go back, Grandma will come to you. ”
Haitang pulled him and asked, "What's the matter with that prince?" My brother didn't mention it before. ”
Haijiao had to reply: "I didn't think about it before." I saw that my grandfather didn't believe what I said, and I was in a hurry for a while, so I told the rumors I had heard in my previous life. Unexpectedly, General Gu believed that I was telling the truth. "Because a young boy who is far away from the intelligence center of the border army cannot know the news of the third prince under the account of Hu Da Khan.
But General Wednesday and General Gu clearly knew the situation of the third prince, and guessed what his idea was when he tried to send troops to raid Suzhou City.
It turned out that the third prince had always been rumored to be not born to the Great Khan, but the heir of the Great Khan's own brother, who was just adopted by the Great Khan. There is also a theory that Uncle Wang had a heavy army, and the Great Khan kept his only son by his side as a hostage, so that Uncle Wang would not dare to disobey him.
At present, Hu Da Khan is about to die of old age, and his eldest son has passed away, and he intends to pass on the throne to the youngest son of the current queen, who will be assisted by Uncle Wang. The third prince was not convinced, and was trying to make a big contribution, so that he could compete with his little brother for the sweat seat!
Suzhou was targeted by him like this.
