Chapter 50: The Giant Order
In the territory of the Mo family, Pengcheng.
As the military town of the Mo family to defend Jingwu, it can be said that it took a lot of manpower, material and financial resources of the Mo family, the construction work continues to this day, the rammed earth wall of the whole city has been as high as two zhang, and the city gate tower on it also stands majestically like a silent hill, plus the surrounding defensive city towers and high platforms, there are sulfur, fire oil, and straw next to the battlements, and almost every day is in a state of preparation.
Wang Xuanwei, who originally proposed the establishment of Pengcheng, was even more unswerving, moving 10,000 people and countless livestock from the interior to here, and opening up countless farmlands in the surrounding land, which not only solved a part of the military food problem for the city, but also added countless people to the city, these people can raise military horses and transport grain and grass for the army on weekdays, and in wartime, they can become auxiliary defense forces.
If Jing Wu wants to leave the north-south passage one day and invade the territory of the Mojia family on a large scale, the first difficulty to pass is Pengcheng, and such a city that is almost impregnable will naturally make Jing Wu pay a lot of price.
On weekdays, because it is located on the border, it is much more rigorous than the hinterland of the Mo family, and countless sergeants patrol and change shifts on time, walking in an orderly manner.
But these days, the atmosphere in the entire city is a little more tense than usual, just because everyone knows one thing: that Mo family military realm can be said to be a military advisor Sun Boling, who is above 10,000 people under one person, is in the city at this moment.
Two sergeants followed the patrol route and slowly walked down the tower, exchanging heads.
The shorter sergeant said, "Eh, do you say that the military advisor is really born with a disability?"
"Is that still false? When the giant was paraded, I was lucky enough to see it from afar, everyone was standing on the high platform, except for the military advisor, who was alone in a wheelchair and never moved. If the military advisor is a man with sound legs, the giant must not ask him a crime of disrespect?" the tall man glanced at the short one with contempt, but in his heart he was extremely proud of his ability to speculate.
"Oh...... That's right. The short sergeant showed a look of reverence on his face, "It's really remarkable that he was born with a disability but can still become a military advisor to our Mo family's more than 200,000 troops." ”
"I heard that Sun Junshi is in the same family as the general's division, you think about it, General Wang's master was the first person in the Mo family's military and political affairs back then!" As he spoke, the tall sergeant gave a fierce thumbs up, "That's it! And how can the person he can look up to be an ordinary person? I heard that although he is disabled, he can already write thousand-character articles at the age of four, and at the age of eight, he can already recite dozens of classics, and when he enters the disciple of General Wang's master at the age of twelve, it is only six years, and he has already used soldiers like a god. Although it is impossible for him to practice martial arts in this life, he has made great achievements in Taoism like the general. The tall sergeant smashed it, smashed it, "What kind of talent does this have to be?"
"What achievement?"
"I don't know...... No one had ever seen him make a move. ”
At this moment, they felt a burly figure behind them pressing their shoulders, and they were suddenly startled, and quickly turned their heads, looking at the two of them with blazing eyes.
"Say, just say!" Taishou shouted in a low voice, "I don't know how to restrain myself when I am patrolling, be careful of rotting my tongue!"
The two of them were immediately silent, the Mo family's military law is strict, although this is not a very serious mistake, but it is indispensable to be punished with more than ten or twenty whips, thinking of this, their expressions can't help but be a little ugly.
But Taishou's heart was obviously not on them today, he waved his hand, signaling for them to continue patrolling, and the two of them looked at it, as if they had been amnestied, they immediately did not say a word, sped up some pace, and trotted all the way according to the established route, but the back did not look very powerful, but like two thieves who had stolen things.
Taishou didn't care about the military appearance of these two people, raised his head, looked at the tower on the city wall, and his eyes flashed a little worried.
I don't know what happened, why did the Mo family giant suddenly send someone over and bring the giant order? There are several kinds of tokens used by the Mo family to herald, which are divided into heaven and earth Xuanhuang, and match different levels according to the urgency of the matter, and when these levels go down to the bottom, the token will naturally be selected and issued on time to convey the meaning of the giant.
However, the Giant Decree is completely independent of these four tokens, this token is only owned by the Giant, and when the Giant uses this token, he will designate a herald by himself, either by writing or by dictation, to set off as quickly as possible to convey his meaning.
If it weren't for something big in the country, the giant wouldn't have used it easily.
In the city tower, there is a bronze bell with a voice as clear as rising in the morning: "Master Sun listens to the three questions of the giant!"
"The first question of the giant is, why did General Wang Xuanwei and Sun Junshi lead a thousand black horsemen away without reporting this time?"
Sun Boling said without thinking: "The matter is urgent, not to mention that there is no shortage of Jing Wu's eyes and ears in the Mo family, in order to avoid the leakage of news, the general and I will take the black horse to leave the national capital first, and when this matter is over, I will definitely write to the giant to ask for guilt." ”
The herald nodded, apparently the giant had told him something, "Okay." Then please ask Sun Junshi to listen to the second question of the giant! Since the matter is in a hurry, then at this moment, why do you stand still and defend yourself in the city? You must know that Zhuge Wanling, the prime minister of Jing Wu, is a treacherous and cunning man, if he misses the opportunity, what should he do?
Hearing this, Sun Boling frowned, the first question, the Mo family giant was scolding him and Wang Xuanwei for overstepping his authority to embezzle the black horse, but this second question seemed to be asking about tactics, but it seemed to have a bit of the same smell of persecution?
He lowered his head and pondered, and slowly explained: "Pengcheng is only a hundred miles away from the north-south passage, no matter who wants to go to the north-south passage to enter Jingwu, I, Pengcheng, can make a contingency. However, if you take the initiative to attack, it is easy to disperse your forces and you will not be able to concentrate your strength. ”
"Good. The herald nodded again, but this time, a bit of sharp light flashed in his eyes, "The third question of the giant son, are you and the general not in touch with Jing Wu?"
The words fell, on Sun Boling's young face, a Sichuan character on his forehead was already like a knife carving, if he still felt that something was wrong when he asked the second question, to this third question, Sun Boling finally understood where the hidden edge was.
The giant was actually suspicious of him and Wang Xuanwei? Where did this start? Only from the 1,000 black horses? Although the black horses were indeed the cornerstone of the country, if the two of them really wanted to rebel, let alone a thousand, it would not be difficult to take all the black horses away, where could they be so petty?
Sun Boling raised his head and stared at the herald holding the giant token, his eyes were profound, as if he wanted to penetrate this person and find some clues.
But in the end, the herald is just a messenger, and it is really difficult to dig out the inside story from him. After a while, he replied softly: "The general and I are loyal to the Mo family, and I also ask the giant not to listen to the villain's slander, the short is seven days, the long is half a month, I and the general should return to the court, and I will explain to the giant in person when the time comes." ”
The herald looked at Sun Boling, and finally showed a soft smile on his face: "Master Sun, the giant also believes in the loyalty of you and the general, he is just a little worried, the two generals were calculated by Zhuge Wanling, so he sent me over to ask about the situation." ”
Speaking of this, the herald praised in a low voice: "In the final analysis, who in the Mo family does not know the great achievements made by the military advisor and the general for the country? The giant also often said that the Mo family is fortunate to have two people here, so that they can win a place of peace in this troubled world, otherwise he would have long ago lost his position as a giant, but has become someone else's prisoner! He and even the entire Mo family should remember this kindness." ”
The giant said seriously. Sun Boling lowered his head, lightly avoiding the trap in his words, and he said softly, "The general and I are just the point of accusation, where is the kindness?"
