Chapter 1302 The first level
Qi Ning just now felt that Han Yu was a little weird. At this time, he saw him hesitating and frowned, "What the hell is it?"
Xuanyuan Po was a good person who was good at observing. He had long noticed that Han Yu and Moventry looked at him with an abnormal expression. He guessed that the matter might be related to him, but he was from the Shenhou Mansion, so he was not convenient to participate in such military affairs. Although he was present, he didn't have much to say.
Han Yu and Moventry looked at each other and finally said, "Duke, early this morning, Lord Mo received something."
Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po couldn't help but turn their eyes to Movent, who had already stood up and bowed and said, "Early early this morning, a car passed by the yamen and fell something from the carriage. The soldier thought it was a carriage that accidentally fell off, and shouted a few times, but the carriage left without paying attention. The soldier was surprised and went up to check and found that there was a letter outside the package, which was handed over to the Shenhou Shenhou in the Shenhou Mansion."
【m】 Xuanyuan Po was slightly shocked, but he remained silent and asked, "Where is the letter?"
Moventry hurriedly said, "The lower-ranking officials found General Han Lang and discussed whether the letter would be sent to the capital. I was hesitant and had not decided yet. Today, the Xuanyuan School Captain arrived, so the letter would naturally be handed over to you. Duke, Xuanyuan School Captain Xuanyuan will wait, and the lower-ranking officials will go and take it." He bowed his hands and retreated quickly.
"In addition to letters, there is also a package. What is inside the package?" Xuanyuan Po asked.
Han Yu's brows locked, pondered slightly, and finally said, "It's a head!"
"Head?" Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po were both shocked. Xuanyuan Po seemed to realize something, and suddenly stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Whose head is it?"
"The head level is bleeding, and the cheeks on both sides are stabbed by a knife." Han Yu wanted to speak but stopped, but Xuanyuan Po said in a deep voice: "General Han Lang, who is the head level? Don't hesitate!"
"The humble general doesn't know who the head is, but the head's face has the word "Lu Cun" on it." Han Yu finally said.
Xuanyuan Po's face changed drastically, his body shook slightly, and he held his hands all over. The air in the hall seemed to solidify for a moment.
Lu Cun!
Of course, Qi Ning knew the meaning of these two words, the Big Dipper is the seven stars, and Lu Cun is the fourth. Moreover, Qi Ning had learned from Xuanyuan Po that the Shenhou Mansion had long sent the Lu Cun Captain to lurk in Dongqi.
The word Lu Cun was engraved on the cheek of the head. Could it be that Captain Lu Cun was killed?
"General Han Lang, can you take the head?" Although Xuanyuan Po was surprised to hear the bad news, he still tried his best to calm his mind. He had already felt extremely sad when he learned that Ximen Wuhen died in the Daxue Mountains. This time, he was shocked to hear the bad news about Captain Lu Cun. He was really hit by a series of blows, but after all, he was not an ordinary person and still kept calm.
Han Yu stood up and bowed his hand, and also retreated.
Qi Ning could understand Xuanyuan Po's current state of mind and comforted him: "It may not be him."
Xuanyuan Po sat down slowly, nodded slightly, but said nothing.
A moment later, he saw Moventry and Han Yu entering the hall one by one. Moventry was holding a letter in his hand, but Han Yu was holding a box, wrapped in black cloth outside, and entered the hall. Han Yu held the box in both hands and placed it carefully on the table. Moventry delivered the letter to Xuanyuan Po. Xuanyuan Po reached out to take it and saw that the letter was indeed written "Ximen Shenhou Wuhen's kiss" outside, and his face suddenly became cold. He didn't talk nonsense. He opened the envelope and took out the letter.
This is a letter to Ximen Wuhen, but Xuanyuan Po opened it directly. Moventri did not know that Ximen Wuhen had passed away. He thought that Xuanyuan Po did this seemed inappropriate, but Xuanyuan Po was a disciple of the Shenhou Mansion after all, so he did not dare to say much.
Qi Ning saw Xuanyuan Po glance at him a few times, and his hand holding the letter was obviously trembling slightly. Then he saw Xuanyuan Po turn his head and look at the box on the table.
The head was sent in a package. When Moventry received the head, he naturally found the box and put the head in.
"Captain Xuanyuan!" Qi Ning observed his words and knew that things were not good.
Xuanyuan turned his head over, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, but more sadness and anger. He handed over the letter and Qi Ning took it over. He saw the handwriting on the letter, but he could still clearly identify it: "The Lord of God personally learns: Your country is traitorous and has no need to say. The two countries are fighting each other and competing on the battlefield, but they use such tricks to assassinate the assassination, which is a shameful reputation. Now he returns to the head of the bad disciple, and waits for him to come in person!" The signature was Shen Tu Luo.
Xuanyuan Po had already stood up, walked to the table, opened the box, just glanced quietly, then closed, turned to Movenc, and said, "Mr. Mo, the fourth junior brother's head, keep it here for the time being. I will naturally take it over when I return to Beijing. If I can't go back to Beijing, then you can send someone to send me and the fourth junior brother's head back to the Shenhou Mansion."
His voice was calm, but of course the few people here had already heard the profound meaning.
When Captain Lu Cun was killed, Xuanyuan Po was obviously determined to avenge Captain Lu Cun, either killing Shen Tu Luo or throwing his life here. That was already a decisive intention.
Moventri immediately said: "Don't worry, the subordinates will keep it properly."
Qi Ning and Xuanyuan Po came to Huai River this time, preparing to plan to assassinate Shen Tuluo, but Captain Lu Cun obviously took the lead and formulated an assassination plan and took action. However, the result was obviously a failure. Not only did he fail to assassinate Shen Tuluo, he lost his life.
Captain Lu Cun naturally saw that the Huai River was cut off and the Qinhuai Legion had no logistics, so he took the risk.
Qi Ning believed that since Captain Lu Cun had taken action, it would have to undergo careful deployment. However, the devil was one foot taller, and Shen Tu Luo was obviously prepared for it. Captain Lu Cun's action plan may have fallen into Shen Tu Luo's trap.
"The carriage left the head of Captain Lu Cun and disappeared." Han Yu said in a deep voice: "The general asked clearly what the carriage looked like, and then sent someone to search the city, but he didn't see it."
"Of course they won't let you find it." Qi Ning's face suddenly became solemn: "They thought they used this trick to intimidate the Shenhou Mansion, but they made a fatal mistake."
Several people looked at Qi Ning. Qi Ning's face was cold and his eyes were murderous: "The four gates of Huize City are blocked, and they can go out but not in. They are very strict in guards, but they sent their heads, and the people who had exposed Shen Tu Luo sneaked into the city."
"No," Han Yu's body was shocked: "There are spies in the city."
Qi Ning said: "I only worry about one thing now."
Xuanyuan Po looked like a knife and whispered: "Duke is the Duke worried about the granary?"
"No," said Qi Ning: "Huize City is a heavy grain storage area. All the grain and grass supplied to the front line are stored here. If there is any loss, the consequences will be unimaginable. Shentu Luo does not have the ability to fly to the sky and escape the earth. Even if he knows that there is a large amount of grain and grass in Huize City, he cannot plunder it. Since he can't get it, he is likely to send someone down the mountain in the city."
Han Yu and Moventry looked at each other, and their vests were sweating coldly.
These two people are responsible for protecting grain. Once the food and grass in the city is lost, the first thing they are to blame is the two of them. Even the Daluo Jinxian cannot save their lives. The two of them have not realized the seriousness of the problem before, and they only think that Huize City is already heavily guarded, and several granaries have sent heavy troops to guard it, which is foolproof. However, as soon as Qi Ning reminds him, he feels that the situation is serious. Han Yu immediately said: "The humble general will send additional personnel to the granary immediately."
Qi Ning pondered slightly and asked, "How many granaries are there in the city?"
"There are five places in total." Moventri had taken out a map from his sleeve and spread it on the table. Qi Ning walked over and saw that this was a pattern of Huize City. The streets and alleys in Huize City were all over it, and there were several circles. Moventri pointed to the circles and said, "The five granaries are concentrated in three places, two places in the east of the city and one place in the south of the city. The largest granaries are on the south of the city. Half of the grain and fodder are stored here, and more than two hundred officers and soldiers guard them here."
Qi Ning turned his head and looked out the door, then said, "Since those people can sneak into Huize City, they may sneak into the granary. The imperial court spent a lot of effort to raise these grains. Once there is a loss, even if the grain channels are opened, there is no grain to continue to be supplied to the front. The Qinhuai Army's tens of thousands of troops may still be able to collect grain on the spot for a while, but this is not a long-term solution. In the end, we have to open up the grain channels to send the grains." He looked solemn and said seriously: "The food and fodder here must not have any problems, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Xuanyuan Po said in a deep voice: "Shen Tu Luo is a trick to attack the east and the west. He sent a letter and the head of the fourth junior brother, so that you have no intention of taking care of the granary, but put your mind on this matter."
"It's very likely." Qi Ning sneered: "But this time Shen Tu Luo was smart. He wanted to attack the world, but instead exposed their whereabouts."
"As long as they send heavy troops to defend the granary, they dare not act rashly." Han Yu clenched his fist and said, "Even if Shen Tu Luo really sent people to sneak into the city, the number of people will never be too large. Even if they have the idea of building the granary, they can only sneak in secret. The humble general arranged for people to guard the granary so that even a fly could not fly in."
Qi Ning shook his head and said, "If you make a big move to mobilize troops, it will only make those people alert. Knowing that you are already prepared, they will not act rashly. As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. If they just lurk in the city but are not taking action for a long time, it will be even more trouble. If this group of people is not removed for a day, the granary will always be in danger, so." After glanced at a few people, he whispered: "We must set up a trap, wait for the rabbit, and catch them all in one go!"
"Duke, what do you mean?"
