Mr. Guo didn't say much during the whole journey, but everyone knew that this genuine retainer of Lord Xinling was the one who made the final decision among everyone; the Lu brothers only had the dual status of being worshiped by Lord Xinling and Lieutenant Daliang due to their long history in the business. , was pushed to the front desk, pretending to be the boss; Uncle Tang and Uncle Cao are still guest ministers, not confidants; Xu Bo'an has the most distinguished status, his father is a senior official in the state of Wei, and is in charge of all supplies for the royal family, but he is obviously not close to Lord Xinling; Zheng Anping and Ma Sangen were just small military soldiers. They were called "Master" and "Brother Ma" respectfully to give face to the world. As for Mang Shen, people have almost forgotten the prominent family behind him.
A few hours ago, Uncle Tang sent someone to briefly report what happened to the Qin people in Kaijun City, Qifeng, so that Mr. Guo had some mental preparation. A group of people came back at night and sat down at the door of a thatched house to avoid the wind. Soldiers spread out around them to keep watch. Everyone reported to Mr. Guo what they saw and heard under Huayang City, and raised their doubts: Bai Gen might have a relationship with Huayang Wei and set up a trap.
Mr. Guo listened silently, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two to ask for details. After everyone had finished speaking, he said noncommittally: "That's what you said. Bai Xing has been in Huayang for a long time, and he naturally has access to up and down. It's no wonder. Who is it?" Is there any old history behind unsealing?”
Lu Bojiu was in the trading company, so he naturally had a lot of experience in Qifeng; Uncle Tang also mentioned a few reliable people in Qifeng city. Mr. Guo said: "I would like to go into Qifeng with the car first to observe the details. Then we can make a big plan."
Lu Bo said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Mr. Guo said: "I have already sent my soldiers to report, and I am waiting for their return."
Lu Bo said: "When should we return home?"
Mr. Guo said: "This place is only thirty miles away from your Majesty. You can come and go back in a while. I'm afraid it's time to return home."
Lu Bo said: "May I ask, sir, if the plan is launched soon, what plan should be put in place?"
Mr. Guo was still noncommittal and said, "We'll wait for your Majesty's will." Uncle Lu, Uncle Tang, and others felt untrustworthy and felt a little unhappy. Mr. Guo seemed to see the confusion in their hearts, and took the initiative to explain: "The Qin army is in the city, but they have heard people's words and are not friendly, so it is difficult to make a plan. Huayang Wei drove out of the city alone. Although it was an adventure, he was only outside the city. , and the old acquaintance with Bai Xing, may not have other motives. Huayang's grain and thousands of stones cannot be carried by a hundred vehicles, they must be repeated three times, and they are unique and will inevitably be noticed by others. What exactly is it must be carefully understood by the ministers. . My plan is to divide the formation into hundreds of vehicles. The first formation will go to Kaifeng to explore the actual situation, as well as the key points along the way and the location of the military camp. When we return, we can plan for victory. "
While he was talking, a soldier who was scattered outside suddenly said: "The messenger has returned!"
Everyone stood up and saw a black shadow moving towards this side in the distance, but there was more than one person. To prevent any accidents, several soldiers came forward to greet him. The two places meet in the fields and become one. Everyone knew that the messenger was indeed back, and the others must have been sent by Lord Xinling for reinforcements. It seemed like a stone was dropped in everyone's heart.
The people who came were Zhang Ye and five other disciples. The soldiers who went to report the news also returned. When Zhang Ye saw everyone, he first asked the soldiers who were leading the way to rest. After he and the other disciples took a breath, they sat down in the field and continued the discussion.
Uncle Tang praised: "Wei's soldiers are famous all over the world. They can travel a hundred miles in half a day, but they are not as good as those of other gentlemen."
Zhang He said: "It's not my ability. They have traveled thirty miles before me, so they are invincible."
Uncle Tang said: "Sir, it's not difficult to walk a hundred miles in half a day."
Mr. Guo said: "How unethical! Your family has its own civil and military affairs, and Mr. Zhang has mastered them all, and he has reached the highest level." He also pointed to the other five disciples and said: "These are all the leaders of martial arts, and Mr. Zhang is the best with them." match."
Lu Bo said: "What is your purpose?"
Zhang He said: "Now that the military market is open, there is an accident. Without conducting inquiries, it is difficult to find out the details. Your Majesty then ordered your ministers to help Mr. Guo go to Qifeng overnight to inquire about the details."
Mr. Guo said: "It's just what I wanted. I'm about to drive to Qifeng with all the gentlemen the next day."
Zhang He asked: "What's going on in Huayang?"
Lu Bo then narrated the events in Huayang in detail, while Uncle Tang and Sub'an supplemented on the side, and also expressed their doubts: they were afraid that Wei Huayang would collude with the Baifu and set a trap.
Zhang Ye, like Mr. Guo, listened silently to the introduction and said: "The rest are acceptable, but the master is difficult to understand. He seems crazy, crazy, and has a hidden agenda."
After hearing this, Mr. Guo agreed: "It's difficult to understand. It's difficult to understand. If there is something hidden, what is it hiding?"
Zhang Yue said: "It seems that I heard about the military market from the second son? No one in the four lines has ever spoken about it."
Uncle Tang seemed to suddenly realize it, and said: "Wei Dao was unhappy before, so he dared to talk about it here. The rotten scholars in the village knew about Qifeng Military Market, but no one in the four carriages told him? Do they all know nothing?"
Zhang He said: "It doesn't stop here. Qin defeated Wei in Beimang. The Wei army set up a fort outside the city. It has been three days and nothing has been heard. But there is no one word to ask, and the gentlemen and others are allowed to identify themselves. Hulot?"
Mr. Guo said: "If I don't ask a single word, I am sure that all the kings must come from Wei!"
Lu Bo regretted greatly and hit his knees with his hands and said, "Unexpectedly, I got into the nest." Everyone who went to Huayang together also changed their expressions.
Zhang He said: "What is Mr. Lu doing in this important military matter? Mr. Lu is ordered to prepare military supplies. Once something happens, he will report it to the king and make a contribution to the country." This explanation made Lu, Tang, Xu and others look pale. A little rest.
Zhang He said: "Inquiring into the military situation has always been conducted by Mr. Guo. Your Majesty still asks Mr. Guo to be the commander-in-chief. A certain number of six people will follow your orders."
Mr. Guo said: "How dare you overstep your bounds? What do you want, your Majesty?"
Zhang He said: "It is taboo for military strategists to set up a military market in front of the enemy. The Marquis Rang is the one who knows the army. Now that he is in charge of the Qin army, what is the purpose of opening a military market? Is there a gap in the defense of Kai Feng that can be exploited? Is it possible for the emperor to station troops to Kai Feng? Do you have a plan?"
Mr. Guo was silent for a moment and said, "Are these five people the only ones?"
Zhang Ye said: "We are in a hurry at night, so we only have five people. Moreover, the matter involves secrets, so there are many people who can cause trouble."
Mr. Guo said: "I wanted to follow the car tomorrow, but I'm afraid it will be difficult. I would like to go early tonight and take advantage of the moonlight to watch the city's defense. We will enter the city as soon as the city opens."
Zhang He said: "Sir's plan is in line with your Majesty's wishes. I hope you will implement it carefully and I will accept the order."
Mr. Guo looked around and said: "Mr. Zhang and others will naturally go together. My son Zhong Jinjiu has been a postman at the foot of Qifeng City for a long time, so he can go with him. Uncle Lu and Uncle Tang have an old relationship in Qifeng and are willing to help each other. All matters here are entrusted to Brother Ma. To preside over it, I need Young Master to help me. Young Master Zheng and Uncle Cao will be on both sides. Uncle Cao will help Brother Ma while Young Master Zheng goes to Qifeng. Uncle Tang and Young Master Zheng can choose three or five people from the Tang family and those with good martial arts skills to accompany them."
Cao Bao said: "I am also willing to go and unblock it."
Mr. Guo said: "Huayang and Qifeng cannot be neglected. Uncle Tang has gone to Qifeng, and I hope Uncle Cao will go to Huayang; Brother Ma went to Huayang, so Brother Zheng went to Qifeng." Everyone heard that there was such a profound meaning in it, and they no longer insisted. They all bowed their hands in response. Zheng Anping complained a little in his heart: He couldn't sleep again tonight.
Zhang Ye said: "If we go to unsealing the seal, our whereabouts must be kept secret. There are more than ten of us here. Does Mr. Guo have any clever ideas?"
Mr. Guo looked up at the sky, the moon was bright and clear; looking around, he had a clear field of vision. If he climbed up and looked, he could easily see everything within ten miles. He sighed: "The people of Qin sent troops, how can the weather be like this?"
Zhang He said: "Qin people regard the fifth month of the year as the tenth month of the year, so they send out troops every month."
