Chapter 218: Can General Sima, Ziyou, be willing to join my Confucianism?

Mo Ya and his men were monitoring Xiao Yu and the other two. Each of them had a bunch of candied haws in their hands, and were happily discussing where they were going next.

Just after the three of them discussed where they were going, two shadows blocked the three of them.

The three of them looked up at the person blocking their way. The smile on their faces disappeared instantly, and the person who came showed seriousness. The three of them stood up like a good baby and dared not speak.

"Uncle Qiu, why are you here?" Xiao Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a flattering smile.

"If I don't come, you don't know when will you go back?" Yu Qiu said seriously.

The three of them immediately showed a embarrassed expression. The three of them were lawless in the Shilan tribe. In addition to their respective parents, elders, there was only Yu Qiu. Yu Qiu was the personal guard of the third elder, and now the person in charge of Yu Yuan's guarding the criminal law.

Because of his strict and fair law enforcement, Yu Qiu has a high prestige among Yu Yuan’s guards.

"Do you know how much trouble the people have caused? Going down the mountain privately, aren't you afraid of something wrong? The Great Elder just forbids his tribesmen to ban them from coming out of the mountain, so you went down the mountain without saying a word and took all the goods away. You can wait to go back and be in custody."

Yu Qiu looked serious and his words were filled with indifference. The three children were so scared that they immediately lowered their heads and dared not speak, like frightened quails.

"I will settle the score with you when I go back, and now I will go back to the mountain with me." Yu Qiu glared at the three of them fiercely.

"Changqing, go and notify the others to go back to the mountain. I will take the three of them directly back to the mountain." Yu Qiu said to the people around him.

"Yes, Master." Yu Changqing said.

Looking at Yu Changqing who left separately and Yu Qiu with three children, the guard said to Mo Ya.

"Mr. Mo, do we want to keep up?"

"You will inform the gentleman alone, and the rest will follow Yu Changqing. I will follow the three children. Remember to give up the stalking, but don't expose your identity." Mo Ya reminded.

"No!" the five people bowed.

Looking at Yu Qiu and his three children walking away, Mo Ya came behind the four people in an instant, and the five guards immediately scattered, one of them went to inform Ziyou, and the four began to follow Yu Changqing.

At this time, Sima Su brought Sima Xin to see Ziyou. The three of them had a very good conversation. Except for Sima Xin speaking when necessary, the rest were Sima Su lobbying with Zi.

"Sir, the spy reported that the governor of Qu County stayed overnight in Chen's mansion. It is said that Chen Shu and the governor of Qu County had a happy conversation." Sima Su said.

"I know about this. Do you think there is something wrong with it?" Ziyou asked.

"The Prince of Qu County is a county magistrate enthroned by the king himself, so there is no problem. Chen Shu has absolutely nothing. The Chen family originally had a very shallow relationship with the Prince of Qu County. However, two years ago, Chen Shu began to show kindness to the Prince of Qu County. If something abnormal happens, there will be evil. However, the Chen family is a large family in Chengdu. The Prince of Qu County is not easy to refuse directly, and most of them turn a blind eye. Therefore, the relationship between the two parties has always been very cold. Before the gentleman came, Chen Shu had not shown goodwill to the county magistrate for a while. After the reception banquet, he began to show kindness to the county magistrate, but in private, it did not cause any controversy as before. Moreover, the spy found that Chen Shu's manager often disappeared inexplicably, saying that he was a businessman, but every time the caravan went out of Shushan Road, the manager no longer saw anyone." Sima Su said.

"Is there any other useful information?" Ziyou asked.

"Just just now, the Sima family's caravan came back and brought back news that the prices of grain in the old capital of Chu and other places had risen, up half the price." Sima Su said in a deep voice.

"Has the Chu army been mobilized to Yingdu?" Sima Xin asked.

Sima Xin, who had not spoken a few words, suddenly surprised Ziyou. Judging from the rise in grain prices alone, the idea of ​​the army mobilization is not something that ordinary people can do.

"How did General Sima know that the Chu army was mobilized? As far as I know, the Chu army should be in the Xudi and Nanyang areas." Ziyou asked.

"In addition to disasters, there is only one possibility that the price of grain rises in a place will be increased, and the amount of grain purchased can increase by half the price is at least 100,000 people, so I guess it is the army's mobilization." Sima Xin said.

Ziyou looked at Sima Xin with surprise. The fact that he could calculate the military mobilization from a very small thing was enough to show how sensitive Sima Xin's sense of battlefield smell was.

"Yingdu is close to Qianzhong County and Wu County. The terrain of both places is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, there were Nanjun and other places in front of them, so there were not many defenders. Both Qianzhong County and Wu County had direct access to Bashu County. After the prefect Zhang Ruo seized the two counties, they specially built these two roads. If the Chu army entered Shu from the two places, it would only take half a month to reach Chengdu." Sima Xin continued.

"General Sima has a lot of research on the terrain of the two places and Shu County." Zi said.

"Actually, I'm not intimate that I have nothing to do in the military camp. If Shu County faces foreign enemies, where is the enemy most likely to attack, and how to defend or even counterattack." Sima Xin said embarrassedly.

Looking at the honest man in front of him, Ziyou felt that it was aggrieved to make him guard over the years. Such a sense of smell and military tactics on the battlefield can be ranked among the top five in Qin, which is famous for its popularity.

"So you continue to talk about why the Chu army was transferred this time?" Ziyou continued to ask.

Ziyou wanted to know where Sima Xin's upper limit was. If Sima Xin had enough abilities, Ziyou wouldn't mind helping him and let the Sima family return to the top of the Qin military.

"I dare not speak nonsense, but there is only one person in Chu who is capable of commanding at least 100,000 troops, Xiang Yan.

As far as I know, Xiang Yan guards Xudi, and Yingdu is extremely important to Xiang Yan and Changpingjun, so they cannot hand over the command of the 100,000 army to others. Xudi already has 200,000 army. If Yingdu has at least 100,000 army, then Xiang Yan has 300,000 army in his hands, which is more than the combined three families of Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao.

Both sides regard each other as mortal enemies, so they cannot let Xiang Yan have at least 300,000 troops in his hands. Then there is only one possibility that Xiang Yan will take at least 100,000 people to Yingdu.

This can also explain why the army purchases food secretly, rather than sending people to allocate food and grass in the court." Sima Xin continued.

Not only Ziyou was frightened by Sima Xin's inference, but even Sima Su was shocked. It seemed that it was his first time to recognize his elder brother. In his heart, his elder brother was a stupid man who only knew how to train troops and work, but he didn't expect that he had such a deep strategy.

Looking at the surprised expressions of the two, Sima Xin scratched his head and said

"When my second brother and I went to Du You to visit my father and Wu'anjun, I was fortunate to receive guidance from Wu'anjun and a military book. Wu'anjun said that leading troops to fight should not only look at the situation on the battlefield, but should pay more attention to changes in the enemy's country, so as to seize the opportunity and kill one blow."

Ziyou looked at Sima Xin and felt distressed. Damn, if this was cultivated earlier, Qin would not be worried about the commander issue? Sima Xin might not be able to sit in the position of strategic commander, but he could also act temporarily and deal with the layout in a short period of time.

"My Confucianism has a lineage called Confucian generals. It has been cut off since Zilu died in battle. I wonder if General Sima is willing to inherit it?" Ziyou looked at Sima Xin and said.

Let's just do it today, the author is still on the train.
