Zuo Mengeng was not at all anxious about sending troops this time.
If the Kong family refused to attack the mountain, they would not attack it. They just asked the artillerymen to 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, which are divided into the north and south. Between the two mountains is a valley that is not deep, but it is sandwiched by 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 information provided by the reconnaissance team, there are about three thousand White Lotus Sect rebels entrenched in Nishan Mountain, led by Zhao Si.
They fled all the way south from Anshan Lake, looting many villages and towns along the way. After arriving in Qufu, they ran all the way here because they could not attack the city.
The walls of the Kong family were high and the courtyard was deep, and there were many servants, so they couldn't defeat them, but there was no defense on Keni Mountain.
The thieves robbed several villages at the foot of the mountain and occupied Nishan.
The Kong family was able to defend 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. Unexpectedly, what they faced every day was 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 Menggeng 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 monsters to persecute us? Of course, we must ask my army to sweep it away and restore the purity of the saint."
Zuo Mengeng smiled half-heartedly 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 resist it."
He said it crudely, but in fact it is true.
Although Nishan is not small in area, the main peak is about the same as Liangshan, just over 200 meters, and the road up the mountain is flat. With artillery support, it is almost not difficult to knock it down.
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 evade responsibility.
He had already passed out, and the rest of the family could not stop him. It was not his fault that Zuo Mengeng was allowed to do whatever he wanted.
Isn't Zuo Mengeng quite reckless? Even Heng Fan doesn't take him seriously, and he has a grudge against the Kong family.
Why did you resist such a good opportunity?
If he doesn't take action, it will be Kong Yinzhu who is in trouble.
Kong Yinzhu dragged the sick body to the outskirts of the New Army to take a look and found that it was even worse.
With so many cannons pointing at the ancestral tombs, if we really want to take action...
Are the ashes of our ancestors going to be carried away?
So here comes the question: 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 and could not make a decision no matter what. In desperation, he had no choice but 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 as soon as possible, so that the saint could not be defiled by the evil cults and demons under any circumstances.
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 Menggeng sent troops, the difficulties became even greater.
After seeing what Kong Yinzhu said, Kong Yinzhu shivered with anger.
"Idiot, just don't let those Qiuba 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 shoot. Say goodbye."
After saying that, he ordered the new army to pack up and prepare to withdraw.
Kong Yinzhu was furious.
"General Zuo, in front of the rebels, you retreated without a fight. I will definitely impeach you."
Zuo Mengeng sneered, there were more bad guys than him.
"Do you think this general will not impeach you? You are tolerating the rebels, obstructing the suppression, and plotting against evil."
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 came and surrendered to Xianbei, the Jin people came and surrendered to the Jin people, the Mongols came 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 and completely lost 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 ran away so far that they couldn't 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 petition against him.
"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 a confession.
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 master of Yanshenggong 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 we should attack as quickly as possible. How can we allow evil cults and demons to cause trouble in the resting place of our ancestors? I will go to the calligrapher's house and order them to prepare food and fodder to 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 another person whose heart is also incomplete.
That is Zhao Si from 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 hands, not wanting to talk nonsense with Zhuanzi. He put on an enigmatic look and avoided everyone's eyes.
When I got back to my room, I quickly changed my pants without saying anything.
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 become a glorious undercover agent.
