Zuo Mengeng was not anxious at all about sending troops this time.
If the Kong family doesn't allow us to attack the mountain, we won't attack it. Just let the artillery line up the artillery at the foot of the mountain and wait for Kong Yinzhu to make a decision.
Even if Kong Yinzhu didn't let go in the end, it didn't matter to him.
"Come on, come on, tell me, can our army attack the mountain this time?"
On Grape Mountain, Zuo Mengeng looked at the Nishan peaks in front of him, feeling quite leisurely.
Nishan Mountain is in the shape of a "knife", and Grape Mountain is located on the westernmost side and is not connected to the other peaks.
Further ahead, there are Nishantou and Hengshanzi in the north and south. Between the two mountains is a valley that is not deep, but is sandwiched between the two mountains and overlooks it.
Therefore, if you want to attack the mountain, you must not attack from this valley. Instead, you must divide your troops into two groups and attack Nishantou and Hengshanzi directly.
After conquering these two mountains, we will reach the main peak of Nishan Mountain.
According to the intelligence provided by the reconnaissance team, there are approximately 3,000 White Lotus sect rebels entrenched in Nishan Mountain, headed by Zhao Si.
They fled south from Anshan Lake and looted many villages and towns along the way. After arriving in Qufu, because they could not attack the city, they ran all the way here.
The walls of Kong's family are high and the courtyard is deep, and there are many servants, so they can't defeat them, but there is no defense on Keni Mountain.
The thieves robbed several villages at the foot of the mountain and occupied Nishan.
The Kong family was more than capable of defending themselves, but they were unable to drive away the thieves.
Kong Yin sent three urgent reports a day to Yanzhou Prefecture and the capital, requesting the imperial court to send troops to protect the hometown of Confucius.
Now that Zuo Mengeng is here, Kong Yinzhu is in trouble.
Following Zuo Mengeng, Huang Zongyan and Huang Zonghui were no longer as cool as before. They looked as if they were working overtime on a 996 basis and looked quite depressed.
They originally thought that staying with Zuo Mengeng would be like Zhuge Liang following Liu Bei, and they would only need to provide them with ingenious strategies. Who would have expected that what he faces every day is endless official documents.
They don't know why there are so many things happening in the army.
I originally thought that Fu Yusun was deliberately targeting them, but after observing for a few days, I found that others, including Fu Yusun, were equally busy, and I realized that this was the case in the army.
After I regained my mental balance, I gritted my teeth and persevered even though I was very tired.
Today was a rare break. I followed Zuo Mengeng up to Grape Mountain, enjoying the scenery and chatting.
When Zuo Mengeng asked, Huang Zonghui couldn't hold himself back and said whatever he wanted.
"The Kong family is also ridiculous. Since it is the hometown of a saint, how can we allow evil cults and demons to persecute us? Of course, we must ask my army to sweep it away and restore the purity of the saint."
Zuo Mengeng half-smiled and asked, "Tell me, how should we fight?"
Looking at the new and shining cannons under the sun, Huang Zonghui is not stupid.
"This mountain is not big, nor is it dangerous. If so many big cannons are fired, the thieves will definitely not be able to withstand it."
He said it crudely, but it was actually true.
Although Nishan is not small in area, its main peak is about the same as Liangshan, only over 200 meters long, and the road up the mountain is flat. With artillery support, it is almost not difficult to defeat it.
But this battle is not about military affairs, but about politics.
Whether you can fight or not depends on the Kong family.
Kong Yinzhu found that he was going to be unlucky.
When he woke up from a coma, the first thing he asked was, "Can Zuo Mengeng take action?"
The servant hurriedly said: "I never took action."
Kong Yinzhu let out a long breath, but then his head felt like needles pricking him.
Zuo Mengeng might as well take action while he was unconscious. In that case, he would have an excuse to escape responsibility.
He had already passed out, and the rest of the family could not stop him. It was not his fault that Zuo Menggeng was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
Isn't Zuo Mengeng quite reckless? Even Heng Fan doesn't take him seriously, and he has an old grudge with the Kong family.
Why did you hold back such a good opportunity?
If he doesn't take action, Kong Yinzhu will be in trouble.
Kong Yinzhu dragged his sick body to the outskirts of the New Army and took a look. It was even worse.
There are so many cannons aimed at the ancestral tombs, if we really want to take action...
Are the ashes of our ancestors going to be carried away?
So the question is, which one is more serious, the ashes of ancestors being blown up by cannons, or the thieves dancing on the tombs of ancestors?
Kong Yinzhu almost wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't make a decision no matter what. In desperation, he had to write a letter quickly and ask his family to send it to the capital as soon as possible.
Anyway, he is not Duke Yansheng, so let’s leave the problem to Kong Yinzhi.
Kong Yinzhi knew about it as early as when the rebels occupied Nishan.
He didn't think much about it at that time, he just begged Chongzhen to send troops quickly, and no matter what, he could not let the saint be defiled by the cult demons.
Chongzhen also knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it, so he issued a reprimanding edict to Zuo Menggeng.
But after Zuo Mengeng sent troops, the difficulties became even greater.
After seeing what Kong Yinzhu said, Kong Yinzhu was trembling with anger.
"Idiot, just don't let those Qiu Ba use the artillery."
When Kong Yinzhu heard this, he thought this was a good idea and came to Zuo Mengeng again.
"This is a holy land, and the world looks up to it. The general can suppress thieves, but it is absolutely impossible to use artillery."
Zuo Mengeng looked at him like a fool.
"Can't use the cannon? Oops, we can't fight. Say goodbye."
After saying that, he ordered the new army to pack up and prepare to withdraw.
Kong Yinzhu was furious.
"General Zuo, you retreated without a fight while the rebels were in front of you. I will definitely impeach you."
Zuo Mengeng sneered, there were more bad guys than him.
"Do you think I won't impeach you? You tolerate the rebels, obstruct the advance and suppress the enemy, and have evil intentions."
Kong Yinzhu’s beard trembled in anger.
"You... don't even think about spitting blood! I, the Kong family, am a descendant of a saint, and the scholars look up to me. How can I allow you, a warrior, to blaspheme?"
Zuo Mengeng is sarcastic and special in exposing scars.
"The Xianbei people have come and surrendered to Xianbei, the Jin people have come and surrendered to the Jin people, and the Mongols have come and surrendered to the descendants of the Mongolian saints? I understand, you are making preparations and waiting to welcome the Donglu, right?"
Kong Yinzhu spurted blood again, completely losing his grace.
"You bastard! I...I have nothing to do with you!"
He still wanted to take action, but Fu Yusun waved his hand, and several guards came forward, grabbed him and threw him away, and immediately rolled him far away, unable to get close at all.
When a scholar encounters a soldier, he cannot explain why.
Kong Yinzhu had no choice but to go back and complain to Kong Yinzhu in tears.
Kong Yinzhi got the news again and was about to vomit blood. Wu Fu was so domineering that he actually bullied the Kong family.
This time I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has.
Kong Yinzhi made up his mind and immediately went to see Chongzhen, planning to file a complaint.
"What's going on with your Kong family? You sit back and watch the thieves wreak havoc on the countryside, and you don't allow the army to go in and suppress them. What do you want?"
"ah……"
Kong Yinzhi was dumbfounded.
Shouldn't I file a complaint?
Chongzhen would not go around in circles with him and smash a piece of paper on his head.
"Dongchang Councilor Zuo Mengeng impeached you for obstructing the Kong family's suppression and harboring evil intentions. Kong Qing, I will give you a chance to defend yourself. Please tell me."
Defend, of course you have to defend.
If you don't plead guilty, that's not admitting guilt.
But just when Kong Yinzhi was about to defend himself, he noticed Chongzhen's slightly narrowed eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped.
Damn it, this suspicious emperor remembered the glorious deeds of the ancestors of the Kong family.
Of course there is no fool who can be the Duke of Yansheng among so many people in the Kong family.
The same is true for Kong Yinzhi.
He flopped to the ground and immediately changed his mind.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that the attack should be carried out as soon as possible. How can the evil cult and demons be allowed to cause trouble in the resting place of the sage? I will go to the calligrapher's house and order them to prepare food and fodder and cooperate with the army."
Chongzhen's slightly narrowed eyes returned to normal.
"Well, I am very relieved that Duke Kong Qing is loyal to the country."
Kong Yinzhi staggered away, his heart broken.
There is also a person whose heart is incomplete.
That is Zhao Si on Nishan Mountain.
Lying on the hillside, looking at the rows of cannons below, Zhao Si felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.
The holy aunt disappeared and Guo Yunbiao died.
Damn it, I’m the boss.
The problem is that I am just an undercover agent!
How could he have imagined that he would just rush down and kneel in front of Zuo Mengeng and be a good person with peace of mind.
But looking at the more than 3,000 "loyal" brothers around him, Zhao Si felt that he might not be able to rush down the mountain.
"Fourth brother, don't panic. The officers and soldiers are nothing but us. As long as they dare to attack the mountain, they will be killed without leaving a trace."
Zhao Si waved his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense with Tongzi. Put on an enigmatic look and avoid everyone's attention.
When he got back to his room, he quickly changed his pants without saying a word.
After changing into tasteless clothes, Master Zhao Sitan was still the same Master Zhao Sitan. When he appeared in front of the brothers again, he already had the pearls of wisdom in hand.
"Brothers, the army and the army are powerful and invincible. Let's... the wind is tight and the wind is blowing!"
As soon as they heard that they were going to run away, the thieves immediately became lively and ran back to pack their things. Zuo Menggeng was ashamed to see the efficiency.
No one noticed that Zhao Si quietly stuffed a small piece of paper into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
With so many people on the mountain, how did the news come up?
Zhao Sibai was puzzled and became more determined to be a glorious undercover agent.
