Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1341 Transfer
  "Tell you a few things."

At Gu Xun's place, he looked at the map of the empire's territory hanging on the wall - a very rough version that basically marked the locations of various counties - and gave instructions to Mo Crow behind him in a deep voice.

Mo Ya's expression suddenly became stern, he bowed and said, "Sir, please give me your orders."

His attitude was very serious, because Gu Xun rarely gave him orders so solemnly, and what he wanted to say was not a trivial matter.

Gu Xun still stared at the map closely, focusing on the area in the upper left corner.

"The first thing is to recall Bai Feng as quickly as possible. I need him."

"My subordinate understands." Mo Ya first agreed to the boss's task, and then asked cautiously, "Where is Mr. Chen Ping..."

"Isn't the situation on Chen Ping's side gradually stabilizing? Bai Feng... just transfer it back and give it to other people he sent."

"Go back and ask Sima Shang and Li Zuoche to see who is interested."

Unlike Bai Feng, these two are not martial arts masters, but generals leading troops. Of course, their respective strengths are also very good.

The most important thing is that the two of them are proficient in the art of war, and the ones they are best at fighting are the wolves, which may be more useful to the Yuezhi Kingdom who are currently fighting against the wolves.

As for Bai Feng... Although his intelligence support is needed to fight against the highly maneuverable wolves on the northern prairie, Gu Xun really needs him back now, so he will have to suffer for the Yue clan. .

Anyway, it's not the Central Plains people's turn to bear the blame. If you want to blame, just blame Maodun!

Besides, don't we plan to compensate them with a master of the art of war? It won't be a loss at all.

wrong!

Guxun, or Liusha's aid to the Yuezhi Kingdom was originally free and purely humanitarian aid. No matter who they sent, they made a lot of money, right?
  Gu Xun, who was touched by his noble sentiments for a second, immediately continued, "After the above matters are arranged, you can stay in the North and cooperate with Han Fei and others to adjust the deployment of Liusha's power."

"Deploy all the power from areas directly bordering the Wolf Clan, such as Henan and Shangjun, and transfer them to areas in the hinterland, such as Taiyuan County, Hengshan County, and Dai County. The former will only retain the most basic manpower to maintain operations. .”

"My subordinate understands." Mo Ya's expression suddenly changed when he heard this mission. This move is not a small move. The key is that it changed Gu Xun's earlier plan... Could something have happened in Xianyang?
  Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Mo Ya was very sensible and did not ask any more questions at this time. He only focused on his own duties, "It will take time for Bai Feng to return. If this subordinate leaves for the Northland now, sir, there will be no one next to him." Are you here?"

Gu Xun turned his back to him and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I'll just wait for Bai Feng to come over and take over your affairs. Do as I say, and you should go and deal with the matters in the north."

After receiving such a reply, Mo Ya said no more.

At this time, Gu Xun took the initiative to explain his arrangements to Mo Ya - Mo Ya is the general person in charge of Liusha's intelligence network, and is not an ordinary middle- and lower-level tool person. In many cases, he must know the whole story from beginning to end. It's definitely not possible to engage in intelligence work with Wu Shui.

"I arranged this mainly to prepare for some unexpected situations that may arise."

Gu Xun turned around with a narrow smile on his face, "You also know that no matter what the apparent relationship between Liusha and the Empire is now, or what kind of link Fusu serves between Liusha and the Empire, it cannot What he did to change Liusha was, in essence, an out-and-out imperial rebel."

"Since we have done this kind of thing, the empire naturally understands it to a certain extent, but in any case we cannot expose it to the public, let alone let the empire understand the extent of what we have done, so the necessary concession is still It can’t be saved.”

Mo Crow frowned and speculated, "Sir, what you mean is... the empire may pay attention to the north again in a short time!?"

Although this was his guess, his unbelievable tone showed that Mo Ya himself was not very convinced of his guess.

You must know that the empire has just launched a war to conquer Lingnan. It has directly invested 500,000 troops, and more than one-tenth of the labor force has been indirectly involved to provide logistics and military supplies.

Under such circumstances, if we continue to take action in the north, it cannot be said that the empire is going militarily. It is dragging the people of the world to die together!

Gu Xun raised his brows, but kept the smile on his lips, "I can't tell, but as long as there is a need, Ying Zheng will never hesitate."

"But...why? The empire has no need to expand its territory in the north now?" Mo Ya still couldn't understand this possibility.

"I originally thought so too..." Gu Xun sighed softly and turned to look at the map again, "That's why I said it was a 'possible unexpected situation'."

Mo Ya hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What kind of 'accident' is it?"

"Well..." Gu Xun let out a dull breath, but did not answer the question directly, "We will know when the time comes."

"... I understand that if I have no other instructions, I will resign first." Mo Ya calmly and helplessly accepted the boss's perfunctory offer, clasped his hands and bowed to leave.

Gu Xun raised his hand to signal him to help himself, but stopped midway and gave another instruction, "One more thing, you go tell Xuanjian and ask him to go to Dongjun and keep an eye on the farmhouse." The condition inside.”

"Over there, it's almost going to be complete chaos."

"Yes!"

Mo Ya then left the room and went to work on the tasks assigned by Gu Xun.

He probably won't appear in Songhai again for quite some time.

After Mo Ya left, Gu Xun sighed at the map with a half-smile, then left his house and went out for a walk.

In fact, the so-called 'unexpected situation' that Mo Ya asked about was the divination prophecy of "Hu, the one who destroyed Qin" that appeared in the original plot.

In fact, this sentence also exists in history. According to "Historical Records", it is a prophecy written in a "fairy book" written by Lu Sheng, an alchemist who was looking for the elixir of immortality for Ying Zheng, when he went to sea to search for the elixir but failed.

Gu Xundao didn’t understand this history, but he knew the plot of the anime.

Because of his actions in the Northland, Man, the first leader of the Wolf Clan's Shan Yu, died early, and the Wolf Clan itself suffered heavy losses. Henan later fell into the hands of the Central Plains and was never taken away by the Wolf Clan again.

Gu Xun originally thought that the land of Henan was already in the hands of the empire at this time, and there was a sufficient buffer zone between it and the wolf tribe. In addition, the grassland ethnic groups were too busy biting each other to pay attention to the empire's territory, so he did not Keep in mind the possibility of Ying Zheng taking action against Beidi.

Until recently, he received more and more intelligence from Xianyang, and he also remembered the prophecy "Hu will destroy Qin".

With Ying Zheng's current sensitivity, even the wolves seem to be half-dead now. Whether they can come out alive from the quagmire of the grassland war is still unknown. He may still choose to launch troops against the wolves.

Again, although Ying Zheng diligently reviews the memorials from all the counties in the world every day, and he has to intervene in every matter, no matter how big or small, the central court of the empire actually controls the local areas... …I can’t say it’s crucial, I can only say it’s better than nothing.

In border areas such as Liaodong, Qilu, Jingchu, etc., the empire's rule is basically just a name. If the central court does not take action, then everyone will be safe.

The counties in the North are stronger than those places, but not much. The empire only maintains the stability of these areas and protects the most important interests. As for more grassroots details, there are no more.

This is also the basis for Liusha to be able to do so many small tricks secretly.

But this is also based on the peace in the North. Once the army is mobilized, the imperial court's control over the counties in the North will increase rapidly, and many of Liusha's small moves will inevitably be exposed.

Now is not the time to completely fall out with the empire. Quicksand must exercise restraint and make concessions.

………………

On the outskirts of Songhai City, the Mohist stronghold.

Tianming carelessly took out the letter from his arms and thrust it into Master Ban's hand.

"Here you go, Old Man Ban. This is what Master Xun asked me to bring to you."

"What's written here?" Master Ban looked at the letter in his hand and asked after being stunned for a moment.

"Prescription!" Tianming raised his head and replied, "Didn't you ask Master Xun to come over to see a doctor last time?"

"Oh...oh!" Master Ben's mind turned around and he suddenly realized.

It’s not his fault for the slow response. Although Tianming’s health problems were always on his mind, who would have thought that Master Xun was so casual in doing things. He wrote the prescription and gave it to Tianming to bring over.

Master Ban quickly put the prescription away, but he was not in a hurry to open it and take a look - he didn't understand pharmacology, so he would definitely have to leave it to Duan Murong, and besides, he was doing it in front of Tianming.

Tian Ming scratched his head and stared at Master Ben, curiously asking, "Who is the sick person? I worked hard to find this person to treat the disease. As a result, I still don't know who is sick... This Do I know the person?”

Master Ben frowned and hurriedly waved his hand to deal with him, "Go, go, go, I like to join in the fun every day. Does anyone's illness have anything to do with you?"

Tianming pinched his waist and replied confidently, "That must be related!"

"Uncle Shaoyu and the others are all fine. The one who got into trouble must be a member of the Mo family. I am a powerful figure in the Mo family, so I must be concerned about it!"

"Okay, okay, my lord, please stop making trouble and join in the fun. There are other things waiting for you to do."

"Ah? What's the matter?" As soon as he heard that something was going on, Tianming's curiosity was immediately put aside, and he hugged Master Ban enthusiastically to inquire.

Gossip news and the like are certainly interesting, but the most interesting thing is to perform the secret mission that belongs to him, the leader of the Mohist family.

Seeing that his attention was drawn away, Master Ben secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You came at the right time, kid. I was waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ming became even more excited. His eyes were shining and he almost looked at Master Ban. He asked with a silly smile, "Is there any important task that I need to handle personally?"

Considering that he was being used, Master Ban nodded against his will - mainly out of guilt for admitting that Tianming called himself a "hero".

"There is indeed something important that you need to do, and it's urgent."

"I need you to return to Songhai as soon as possible, find Mr. Zhang Liang, and tell him that we have important matters to discuss with him. I hope he will come as soon as possible to discuss it."

The situation in Songhai City is very sensitive now, and Little Saint Xian Manor is a troubled place. The Mo family should not rashly send someone to contact Zhang Liang. If they accidentally touch the already tense nerves of the empire, it will be bad. .

In this case, Tianming naturally had to deliver the news, which was also discussed before.

When Tianming heard about this job, he didn't remember to rush back to Songhai City. Instead, he asked more curiously, "What important matter do you want to see him for?"

"...There is something very important and urgent. If you go quickly, maybe you can get it done in time today." Master Ben did not answer him.

It’s not that he hid it from Tian Ming on purpose, but once he told him, he had to explain it to him from beginning to end. Master Ban was too lazy to stop talking.

However, Tianming was obviously not satisfied with just being a messenger. Seeing him like this, he still wanted to break the casserole and ask the truth.

"Just tell me, I'm a giant! If you have important actions, you should tell me!"

"If you don't understand this matter, it's useless to listen to it."

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me!" Tian Ming refused to accept Master Ban's perfunctory words.

After the two of them entangled for a few more words, Master Ban could only helplessly promise, "Okay, okay, don't pester me anymore. I promise you that after you finish this matter, I will tell you the whole story, okay?" ?”

"Well... you can't lie to me!" Tianming asked, pointing at the old man after rolling his eyes.

"Old man, I am dozens of years old. I will definitely not lie to you, a young boy."

"Okay!" Tianming agreed, turned to say hello and left, "I'm leaving first, see you later!"

Master Ben looked at the boy who was walking awkwardly from behind and shook his head helplessly.

………………

Songhai City, the General's Mansion, where Li Si stayed.

The prime minister of the empire sat at the top, with a volume on the table in front of him.

Below him, Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC, stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his feminine face, and the nails on his hands were long and pointed.

Even though Li Sigui was the prime minister, he still maintained a certain degree of respect for Zhao Gao, a close minister of the emperor. At least he did not read a book while talking to others.

His sharp eyes were fixed on the controller of Luowang in front of him, and he asked, "Luowang has been gathering strength in Songhai for many days. I wonder what Zhao Fuling has gained?"

Zhao Gao bowed slightly, his posture was not too high, and his voice was as gentle as his face and he replied, "The Luowang has been pursuing the whereabouts of the hidden rebels."

"Within a radius of fifty miles outside the city, there are all investigation sites, and most of the areas have been screened out. Coupled with the general area confirmed by the Yin Yang family, I think it won't take much time to gain something."

"Well..." Li Si nodded slightly and expressed his approval, "It's hard work for Zhao Mansion to do everything personally."

"However, you should also understand that the Black Dragon Scroll is of great importance. Please assist General Meng to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
