Li Si asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, didn't General Wang Ben run out of food before? Why is it that now..."
Ying Zheng explained: "General Wang Ben launched a surprise attack on Daze Mountain. Many of the peasant disciples there did not have time to evacuate and were directly wiped out by the army, and a lot of food was obtained.
General Wang Ben implemented the strategy of besieging the enemy and attacking the reinforcements, annihilating the farmers' forces in large numbers, and then concentrated superior forces to attack proactively. Now he has besieged the enemy in Daze Mountain. I think he will be able to trap the farmers' disciples to death in a few days!"
Li Si felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he went to Zhao Gao after the court session and said, "Zhao Gao, Luowang should have spies in Dongjun, right? Do you have any news?"
Zhao Gao pulled out an intelligence report: "This is the intelligence my men just sent back. It basically matches what Wang Ben said, so it should be correct!"
Li Si frowned: "So the Nong family will soon be destroyed? But why do I always feel that things are not that simple!"
Zhao Gao laughed and said, "Your Excellency is worrying too much. The Nong Family disciples are just a bunch of rabble. They may be good at fighting in the martial arts world, but they are not good at marching and deploying troops. It is normal for them to be defeated!"
"I hope so!" Li Si sighed, then thought of something and asked, "How is the Eighteenth Young Master doing recently?"
"Eighteenth Young Master has been studying harder than usual recently, and has received praise from Your Majesty for this!" Zhao Gao said with a smile.
"Yes, this way, Young Master Eighteen will have a greater chance of success. But we still have to help him and remove those obstacles!" Li Si murmured.
at the same time
After the court was dismissed, Ying Zheng also found Zhang Han and asked, "Zhang Han, is there any news from the Shadow Secret Guard in Dongjun?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han presented a piece of intelligence. After reading it, Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. It was not that there was anything wrong with the intelligence. The intelligence was basically consistent with what Wang Ben had reported back.
"Zhang Han, you have been to Dongjun in person and once told me that there is a military master in the Nong family. In your opinion, how does Wang Ben compare to the man from the Nong family?" Ying Zheng asked.
Zhang Han did not dare to hide it and said hurriedly: "In my opinion, the two are roughly equal!
However, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield. If General Wang Ben can seize a critical moment and lead the elite Qin cavalry to attack, it is very likely that he will defeat the opponent!"
"Didn't you say that the Mohist School was also over there? In your opinion, if they take action, is it possible for the Shadow Guards and Luowang to pass the message out?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Could it be that Your Majesty suspects Luowang and Shadow Guards?
Zhang Han lowered his head even more and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about Luowang, but every member of the Shadow Secret Guard is carefully selected. They have been orphans since childhood and have been trained for more than ten years. They are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty. There should be no possibility of betrayal due to threats!"
"Okay, I understand. You can leave first!" Ying Zheng ordered.
Even Li Si could sense that something was wrong, let alone Ying Zheng, the greatest emperor of all time. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the news from Luowang and Yingmiwei were consistent. It was impossible for him to go to Dongjun himself to check the situation, right?
Although there was no clear evidence, Ying Zheng still increased his vigilance against the Nong family, and was prepared to send someone else to replace Wang Ben if Wang Ben failed to completely destroy the Nong family after a month. By then, everything would surely be revealed!
Chapter 142: Han Xin helped me? He wanted to kill me, right? Zhang Liang, it's too late.
Shao Yu was a little unconvinced and said: "What kind of ability is that? If he had the ability, he would win with real swords and guns!"
Fan Zeng was speechless: "Shao Yu, so many years have passed, don't you understand? A brave and aggressive general can only be a general who charges into battle, and only a general who can plan and strategize can be a qualified commander!
If you want to restore the Kingdom of Chu, you must learn how to become a commander!"
"Hmph, Han Xin only won by luck. If I were Wang Ben, I would not end up like this!" Shao Yu still refused to accept.
In fact, he also admired Han Xin's talents, but who made Han Xin unwilling to join him?
Fan Zeng obviously saw through his little trick and murmured, "Han Xin refused to join us before. Now that his reputation has spread, he will definitely not join us!"
"If he doesn't want to surrender, then don't do it. But he can't have an easy time. Now that Han Xin's achievements have surpassed his master, I'm afraid the Nong family will not let him go!" Shao Yu changed the subject.
This is indeed the case.
After Wang Ben's threat was eliminated, the six halls of the Nong family were happy, but they also came to their senses. Han Xin now had a high prestige in the Nong family and commanded a large army. If he had any bad intentions, the Nong family would be in trouble soon!
Although everyone admired Han Xin's talent, they still felt uncomfortable when they thought that Han Xin, a commoner, might become their immediate superior.
In particular, some people who had offended Han Xin were even more worried about being retaliated against by Han Xin in the future.
There are also people from Tian Yan's faction who are worried that the interests of their lineage will be damaged.
So these people came to Tian Yan one after another!
After hearing their intention, Tian Yan smiled and said, "You are all worrying too much. I think Han Xin is not the kind of person who would rebel casually.
Moreover, he just helped us solve a crisis, and we are about to take action against him. How will our disciples view us? How will the world view us? Who will dare to help our farm family in the future?"
Some people wanted to persuade him again, but Tian Yan interrupted and said, "I have made up my mind. Let's just leave it at that. You haven't been here today. Go back!"
After leaving Tian Yan, someone said worriedly: "Alas, Miss trusts Han Xin so much, I'm afraid she will suffer sooner or later!"
"Forget it. The eldest lady was our farming family's top think tank. I'm afraid she has already made plans. Let's not worry about it!" someone else said.
What they didn't know was that the reason why Tian Yan believed in Han Xin was entirely because of Chen Mo. She knew that as long as Chen Mo was there, Han Xin would definitely not be able to cause any trouble!
But to be on the safe side, she went to see Chen Mo in person.
A few hours later, Tian Yan, with a flushed face, lay on Chen Mo and told him what happened today. Chen Mo smiled and said, "Han Xin is a smart man, he will know what to do!"
As expected, the next day, Han Xin found Chen Mo with several heads and said respectfully, "My lord, these people instigated me to rebel against Madam Tian Yan. Now they have been killed by me. Please understand!"
Last night, these people came to Han Xin and said that they were willing to support him as the new leader of the chivalrous clan, which frightened him greatly. If the other peasant disciples didn't know, how could he not know? Tian Yan was Chen Mo's woman, wouldn't rebelling against her be like slapping Chen Mo in the face?
With Chen Mo's methods, I might not even know how I died?
These people didn't want to help him at all, they were simply trying to harm him, so he killed them without hesitation, and then came to Chen Mo to apologize!
Looking at those heads, Chen Mo smiled and said, "Han Xin, I was right about you. Tian Yan is in the light, and I am in the dark. As long as you assist him well, you will be a general in the future!"
Hearing this, Han Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, my lord!"
He knew that with Chen Mo's ability, sooner or later he would be able to replace Ying Zheng and become the true emperor of all time, so he never thought of rebellion from beginning to end.
A month later, Wang Ben suddenly found Chen Mo and said that Ying Zheng wanted to transfer him back.
"If Ying Zheng wants to transfer you back, then you should go back!
No matter who he sends next, the result will be the same!" Chen Mo said nonchalantly.
It's just a change of commander, not the entire army. By using [Shen Zhao Jing] and [Life and Death Talisman] together, no matter who the new general is, he can't escape Chen Mo's control.
On the contrary, Wang Ben returned to Xianyang and was able to convey some news from the court to himself!
As for whether he would be discovered by Luowang and Shadow Secret Guards? Now Chen Mo has controlled a lot of Luowang and Shadow Secret Guards, they will help Wang Ben cover up!
Shadow Guards and Luowang were once the empire's eyes and ears, and now they are also his own eyes and ears. I wonder what expressions Ying Zheng, Zhao Gao, Li Si and others would have when they know this?
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
After Wang Ben went back, the newly appointed general was subdued by Chen Mo. In the second month, Chen Mo asked him to send a message to Ying Zheng, saying that the Nong family had been wiped out, but some remnants were still there. In order to prevent them from resurfacing, he proposed to station troops here for training. Ying Zheng agreed without much thought!
Now the Qin army and the farmers' disciples have been training here for half a year, and their military strength has been significantly improved compared to half a year ago, especially the [Shen Zhao Army] led by Dian Qing. Although the number of people has not increased, their horizontal training has reached a certain level, and it is definitely a powerful weapon on the battlefield.
That day, Chen Mo had just finished exercising with Yan Fei and Jing Wei when Gao Jianli suddenly came to report: "Master, Confucian Master Zhang Liang wants to see you!"
Damn, if you don’t come here for no reason, it’s bound to be something bad!
Although he thought so, he still got up and went out to meet him.
"I am Zhang Liang, the Confucian, and I am here to meet the great Mohist master!" As soon as Zhang Liang saw Chen Mo, he took the initiative to salute.
In the past you always called me Master Chen Mo. But this time you are so formal. I’m afraid you must have something to ask for, right?
He thought so in his heart, but laughed: "Haha, I heard that Mr. Zhang Liang married a beautiful wife. He hasn't come to see us for such a long time. Could it be that he values women over friends?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Mohist school looked at Zhang Liang strangely. Zhang Liang couldn't help but twitching his mouth: If I hadn't had to, why would I marry that woman?
That’s right, several months ago, the Mohist School received news that Zhang Liang was going to get married, and his partner was Gongsun Linglong. Although everyone in the Mohist School was jaw-dropping when they received the news, they still sent someone to send a gift!
"My Lord, you are joking. Zifang never dares to forget the existence of his friends!" Zhang Liang replied.
"Okay, let's stop being polite. You either don't come, or if you come, there must be something. Just tell me!" Chen Mo was too lazy to beat around the bush with him.
Zhang Liang's breathing stagnated when he heard this: I forgot, this guy never plays by the rules, but it's better this way, the problem can be solved sooner!
As Zhang Liang slowly spoke, everyone in the Mohist school understood the purpose of his trip.
"Are you saying that the empire is going to take action against you Confucians?" Gao Jianli asked.
“Yes, according to the intelligence we Confucians have obtained, the Empire is considering taking action against us Confucians.
The reason is that it is a rumor!" Zhang Liang said solemnly.
Big Hammer asked, "What rumors?"
“Some people say that we Confucians know the secret of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars, and that we intend to support the eldest son Fusu to succeed to the throne, and the rumors are very detailed!
I'm sure you all know that the issue of the crown prince is a taboo. Even some high-ranking officials of the Qin State dare not easily take sides. And our Confucianism has been pushed to the forefront at this time. How can we not be killed as a warning to the monkeys by Ying Zheng?" Zhang Liang said slowly.
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, this is indeed in line with Ying Zheng's style of doing things. Regardless of whether the story is true or not, it is true that Confucianism has not completely surrendered to the empire. Moreover, by dealing with Confucianism, we can also crack down on those who attempt to influence the crown prince; deter other schools of thought and make them voluntarily surrender to the empire!"
"That's right. No matter how we Confucians defend ourselves, we can't escape this disaster!" Zhang Liang sighed.
"Then why did you come to our Mohist School for help? To help you resist the imperial army?" Chen Mo asked.
"That's right, if the land is saved but the people are lost, both the land and the people will be lost; if the people are saved but the land is lost, both the land and the people will be saved!
You are right not to fight to the death. I guess you Confucians have contacted other schools of thought besides our Mohists, right?" Chen Mo nodded and praised.
"Yes, the eldest and second brothers have also contacted several other companies, but it is not convenient to disclose which ones they are!" Zhang Liang admitted.
"Okay, arrange for someone to come over, Xiao Gao will assist you!"
Gao Jianli nodded when he heard this, indicating that he would cooperate.
Seeing that Zhang Liang was hesitant to speak, Chen Mo knew that he had something to say, but Chen Mo did not play by the rules. He simply pretended not to see it and turned away.
Zhang Liang was confused: No, shouldn’t you ask me what else I want to say?
Gai Nie reminded: "Mr. Chen Mo has never been a person who plays by the rules, so when facing him, you can only speak directly, otherwise you won't even have a chance to speak!"
"Why don't you tell us what you want to say? Maybe we can help you." Dao Zhi said with a smile.
Zhang Liang did not hide it: "As the saying goes, it is impolite not to reciprocate. Although we Confucians cannot compete with the entire empire, we do not want to be looked down upon by the world, so we are ready to teach the Qin army a lesson.
Besides, our Confucian school has been targeted by Luowang and Shadow Secret Guards. When we retreat, I am afraid that many experts will come to hunt us down. To be on the safe side, I wanted to invite Master Juzi to secretly protect us, but~"
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other, and finally looked at Duan Mu Rong. Duan Mu Rong was a little confused: "No, why are you looking at me?"
"Among so many of us, you are the only one who has the closest relationship with Lord Giant. If anyone can convince Lord Giant, it can only be you!" Gao Jianli said.
"Well, I think you have colluded with each other long ago? You want me to go on purpose?" Duanmu Rong asked suspiciously.
Although she could have a say in front of Chen Mo, she would still be raped regardless of success or failure. She couldn't bear it alone, but she was not willing to bear it with other women.
Zhang Liang pleaded, "I'll leave this matter to Miss Duanmu!"
