A smug look appeared on Mo Qizhong's old face, and he said, "Of course, these are my old man's strategies, how can you young people understand?"

Ye Feng was a little unconvinced: "Are these reinforcements all pretending to be from the Momen?"

Mo Qizhong took a sip and said: "This is the northwest border, where are there so many Mo family disciples? They are indeed the guards of King Su scattered in various places, but the granges are too scattered, and it is difficult to gather them quickly in a hurry. In addition, they have been farming for a long time and have been absent from the battle formation for a long time, even if they all come, I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with the elite iron cavalry led by Song Hu. ”

"So my old man secretly sent the children of the Mo family to secretly sneak out of the city last night, found the deputy general Zheng who was in charge of assembling them, and informed him that the time was urgent, and he could gather as many people as he could, and rushed to Lanzhou City overnight to rescue. ”

"At the same time, I also asked them to set up false flags, pretending to have many horses, and not to show up near Lanzhou City, but only to move back and forth in the dense mountains and forests, so that Song Hu thought that reinforcements had arrived and there were many people. Fortunately, their journey was not slow, and they finally arrived in time, and it played a role. ”

Ye Feng looked at this team that didn't even have complete armor, if they really showed up just now, I'm afraid it would really not be of much use.

Thinking that if Song Hu saw this scene in front of him now, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood, Ye Feng couldn't help but say: "It turns out that your old man let them hide in the mountains and forests to bluff people!"

Mo Qizhong rolled his eyes and reprimanded: "What kind of bluffing? This is called the art of war, this is a suspicious strategy, has Zhuge Liang heard of it in the Three Kingdoms period? ”

Ye Feng shook his head and smiled, not wanting to argue with him anymore.

The dignified Mo family giant, even disregarding his identity, has to compare Zhuge Liang in the romance story with himself, people say that the old come to the young, the older the more like a child, isn't that it?

I don't know why, Ye Feng felt in his heart that he was getting closer and closer to the seventh uncle in front of him.

After a moment of thought, he remembered a question again: "This bluffing fake reinforcement army was arranged by your old man, but how could those Tatar cavalry be so coincidental to attack the territory last night?

Mo Qi glanced at him again, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face: "What do you say?"

Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with some hesitation: "No, this is also related to your old man, right?"

Mo Qizhong smiled: "I really know about this. I can tell you that it was because the Tatar side had also received a secret letter last night from a flying pigeon. ”

Ye Feng blinked and asked, "The secret letter?" was written by you, Seventh Uncle?"

Mo Qida laughed and said: "Your seventh uncle and I don't have that much ability, just a secret letter can mobilize the Tatar cavalry and rush to attack the Ganliang border pass overnight. ”

Ye Feng asked, "Then who wrote this secret letter? It can't be that it was also written by Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, right?"

Mo Qizhong smiled: "Naturally it's not Marquis Longping,

In fact, you also know the person who wrote this letter, and you are still familiar with it. ”

Ye Feng was taken aback and asked urgently, "Who is it?"

Mo Qizhong's smile looked so inscrutable: "This person is the one who took care of you all the way to Lanzhou City, the black boss who is in the medicinal herb business!"

Ye Feng was stunned, how could a medicinal herb merchant mobilize the Tatar cavalry and attract a large army to invade the territory with just one letter?

There was an incredible expression on his face: "Boss Wu, how could one of his letters have such an effect?"

Mo Qizhong sneered: "That's because he is neither surnamed Wu, nor is he from the Central Plains." His cousin was the Great Khan of present-day Tatars, known as Ugqi the Ghost of Chi. ”

What the?

Ye Feng felt incredible: "Boss Wu is a Mongolian from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but his appearance is exactly the same as ours, no different?"

Mo Qizhong said: "That's because although his father is Ugqi's cousin, his mother is a Han beauty from the Central Plains, he is of mixed race, and he grew up in the Central Plains all year round, so he looks like us." ”

Although he was a Tatar nobleman, the Mongol tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty attached great importance to blood, and although his cousin Ugqi killed the Tatar predecessor Kun Timur and established himself as the Great Khan, he was never reused. ”

In addition, he grew up in the Central Plains since he was a child and was familiar with the situation on the Han side, so Ugqi's important minister, Taibao Arutai, consulted with him and let him lurk in Jinling City and become a Tatar spy in the capital. ”

He also shook his head madly, he still couldn't believe it: "Since Boss Wu is a Tatar spy hidden in the capital, such a secret matter, how can you know so much about it, Uncle Seven?"

Mo Qizhong smiled bitterly: "Have you forgotten what we Momen do for a living? We are specifically responsible for spying and collecting all kinds of secret anecdotes in the world, selling and buying information for a living, and we have already found out the identity of Boss Wu." ”

Ye Feng asked angrily: "Since he is a secret agent of an alien race, you have known about it for a long time, why don't you hand him over to the government, don't forget that you Momen are still the sons and daughters of the Han nationality, and you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, so you should maintain the stability of the Great Tomorrow!"

Mo Qizhong's face showed a look of surprise, and he asked, "Isn't Boss Wu your friend?

Ye Feng was silent for a moment, but still said resolutely: "The kindness between Boss Wu and me is private righteousness, and the stability of the great tomorrow and the stable life of the people are righteousness, and I will never dare to abolish the public because of private interests!"

Mo Qi nodded emphatically and said appreciatively: "Good righteousness, good courage!

However, his tone suddenly changed, and he asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask, what did this Boss Wu do to hinder the stability of the future and the stable life of the people?"

Ye Feng was speechless for a moment, yes, except for Mo Qizhong telling him that Boss Wu was a spy of the Tatars, he was very interested in Wu Lao

What the board is doing, in fact, is unknown.

Mo Qizhong saw that he couldn't answer, shook his head and said: "Although he is a Tatar secret agent, it is not Ugqi himself who arranged for him to lurk in the capital, but the Taibao Arutai who is in power in the Northern Yuan. ”

"As early as the year when the current emperor Zhu Di Lao'er ascended the throne, he sent envoys to see Ugqi many times, wanting the two families to be reconciled and never suffer from war. However, at that time, the Tatar soldiers were strong and strong, and they were the most powerful of the Northern Yuan tribes, and Ugqi was also arrogant, empty-sighted, and ignored the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and even beheaded them to demonstrate. ”

At that time, Arutai, who was the Taibao, quietly met with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty and wrote to Emperor Zhu Di to show his sincerity, and since then he has been secretly communicating with the Ming court. And almost all of these letters were conveyed through this boss Wu. ”

Two or three years later, sure enough, the Tatar tribe suffered huge losses in the years of war with another powerful tribe of the Northern Yuan, Warat, and Ugqi himself had the idea of making friends with the Ming Dynasty and fighting Warat as a backup. In the past two years, he has been secretly sending envoys to the capital to show goodwill to the Ming court, and these are also arranged through Boss Wu. ”

Ye Feng was dumbfounded when he heard it, he had never been interested in the situation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and he didn't know anything about what Mo Qizhong said.

Mo Qizhong sighed and said, "Although Boss Wu is a Tatar spy in Beijing, all he does is convey letters in the center and arrange envoys to come and go. If he is said to be spying on intelligence, it is nothing more than taking advantage of the opportunity of outsiders to deliver goods, to find out the likes and dislikes of important ministers and generals in the DPRK and the army, and to give him some expensive gifts to establish a good relationship. ”

"The Tatars are currently trying to reconcile with my Ming Dynasty, and there is absolutely no possibility of raising troops to invade, Boss Wu has not attempted to disturb the discipline of the imperial court and undermine the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, he has not spied and leaked the military intelligence of the Ming Dynasty, and attempted to collude with foreign troops to invade, what is the crime? If he really does any of the above, do you think my Mo family disciples will ignore it and let him act recklessly?"

He looked at Ye Feng and shook his head: "You yourself don't know anything about the trend of the situation in the two countries, and what Boss Wu did, just relying on the so-called patriotic enthusiasm in your chest, it is too shallow to make a judgment that is not of my race and his heart must be different!"

Ye Feng was so speechless that he lowered his head, he was speechless, he was also asking himself in his heart, after all, Boss Wu had helped him several times, and he was kind to himself, as a friend, why couldn't he trust him more?

Is it just because he knows that he is a foreigner, he instinctively has a sense of xenophobia?

After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Even if Boss Wu is a Tatar nobleman and their secret agent, how can he mobilize Tatar cavalry to invade our Ming border with just a secret letter?"

Mo Qizhong smiled slyly: "That's because, I asked him to write this letter." ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but be stunned: "This is your idea again, Seventh Uncle, what the hell is going on?"

Mo Qizhong said slowly: "Boss Wu."

The reason why I will accompany you to Lanzhou City this time is because he got the news and wanted to take the opportunity to investigate the contradiction between King Su and Song Hu, the newly arrived Marquis of Xining, who was in charge of the army. The Tatar territory bordered the land of Gansu, and he wanted to see if there would be anything bad for the Tatar tribes. ”

"Who knew that he came to Lanzhou City to investigate for a few days, and he didn't find anything out, so he met Song Hu leading a large army to besiege the city, and he was also trapped in this Lanzhou City. Once Song Hu breaks through the city and the lives in the city are devastated, he may not be able to escape the fate of being slaughtered. ”

"So when I saw him at the inn last night, I knew that there was salvation for the matter. I consulted privately with the boss of Wu, first stating that I knew all his secrets, and then I told him that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to immediately write to the Tatar Taipo Arutai, asking him to immediately send troops to attack the Ganliang defense line overnight, forcing Song Hu to have to return to the division to rescue. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head and asked, "Time is so urgent, and Tatar is so far away from here, even if he writes a secret letter, how can it be delivered in time?"

Mo Qizhong snorted: "It's a shame that you and he went all the way to Lanzhou City, and after such a long time on the road, you didn't find that there were communication tools hidden in his convoy?"

Ye Feng was stunned: "Is Uncle Seventh talking about carrier pigeons? Merchants go out to business, and in order to facilitate communication and contact with businesses in various places, it is not strange to carry some carrier pigeons with him, but I am afraid that carrier pigeons will not be able to fly so fast overnight, right? How can I send the secret letter to Tatar Arutai in time?"

Mo Qizhong shook his head: "It is said that you are observant and thoughtful, but I think it's all." If he was carrying carrier pigeons, what was so strange? Didn't you notice that his men would feed them with some meat every day? They were not feeding dogs, but their means of communication, falcons, also called Haidongqing!"

When he mentioned this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that on the way to Lanzhou City, he did see someone taking meat to a caravan to feed some animals every day, and when he asked, they said that it was a dog, so he didn't care. Unexpectedly, it was Hai Dongqing who was fed!

Mo Qizhong looked at him with a suddenly realized expression, sighed and said: "Hai Dongqing, this beast not only flies extremely high and fast, but also is extremely loyal to his master, no matter where he is, once released, he will immediately fly back to his master regardless of everything, so the people on the Mongolian steppe like to domesticate a few since childhood. It is both a status symbol and a great tool for communicating with each other. ”

"Last night, Boss Wu wrote a secret letter according to what I said, and Hai Dongqing brought it back to Arutai, after receiving the letter, Arutai of course wanted to save him, a spy who had been planted in Beijing for many years, so he counted 30,000 Tatar cavalry and attacked overnight, threatening to invade the Ganliang line. This is why today Song Hu was forced to order the withdrawal of the army. ”

Ye Feng understood the truth of everything, but he was still a little worried: "The Tatar cavalry is brave and good at fighting, if there is a battle, I don't know how much loss the Ganliang defense line will have?" Besides, as soon as such a battle starts, the efforts to reconcile between my Ming and the Tatar tribes will not be ruined."

Is it?"

Mo Qizhong glanced at him a little helplessly: "It's just a feint, how can it really start a fight?" I can guarantee that as soon as Song Hu's side withdrew his troops to help, those Tatar cavalry also withdrew, and the Ganliang defense line will not lose even a single star." ”

Ye Feng felt relieved and nodded.

Turning around, he looked up and saw the people who were still cheering and celebrating on the city wall, but he remembered in his heart that the black boss who was actually an alien secret agent, and he always felt strange when he thought that he was going to meet him in a while, and he didn't know how to face him, so he couldn't be happy.

Mo Qi patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Silly boy, let's go, be happy, we should also go into the city to join this carnival." As for that black boss, as soon as the besieging army withdraws, I guess he will also withdraw, and you may not be able to see him!"

Ye Feng was stunned again when he heard this.

This seventh uncle, if he really thinks in his heart, he can't hide it from him at all!
