Ge Cun cupped his fists at the Lotus Cult Master, with a hint of apology, "It's not that I don't want to let you go, but now Zhu Meng has the final say in Jizhou City. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help. I don't think it's better to do this. How about you?"
Just rest here to recover and wait for the right opportunity, and I will definitely let you leave the city."
The Lotus Leader wanted to say something more, but Chu Han next to him spoke. Chu Han was not as impatient as the Lotus Leader. He smiled and gave Ge Cun a fist, "In that case, General Lao is here to help."
At this time, a soldier came with a military doctor, and Gecun took the opportunity to turn around and leave.
At this time, Ge Cun thought that things had been settled, but he did not expect that the crisis had just begun.
After Ge Zhuang said goodbye to his brother, he thought for a moment, then turned and headed straight to Zhu Meng's camp.
At this time, Zhu Meng was still awake and was discussing with Zhang Liao and others what to do next. After all, it wouldn't be a problem to stick to it all the time.
At this moment, someone came to report that Gezhuang was asking for a meeting. Zhu Meng frowned when he heard this, "Why is he here so late?"
Zhang Liao smiled slightly, "Commander, we'd better meet him. After all, he is Ge Cun's younger brother. Maybe there will be some surprises for us."
Zhu Meng nodded, "Let him come in."
Soon Ge Zhuang walked in with a smile. After entering, he gave Zhu Meng a fist and said, "I've seen the handsome man before."
Then he bowed to everyone present and said, "I have met you generals."
Zhu Meng nodded and said politely, "General Ge has worked hard. You two brothers have always been responsible for the city defense. You have been very tired recently..."
"It's not hard work or hard work. It's my duty to serve the commander-in-chief."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng's eyes lit up. Is there something wrong here?
"General Ge came to see me so late, but what's the matter?"
"Yes, yes, Marshal, I have some good news for you. I just caught three spies. I caught them as soon as they entered the city."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng's eyes lit up and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Is this serious?"
"Seriously, it's absolutely true. By the way, my brother has already gone to interrogate them. It is estimated that their identities will be found out soon."
When I, Zhu Meng, heard this, I stood up impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Liao next to him and shook his head slightly.
Zhang Liao was hinting to him not to be impulsive.
Zhu Meng then changed his smile and said, "Okay, then let's wait with peace of mind. There will definitely be good news."
After saying that, he turned to Ge Zhuang and said, "When the big event is completed, the general will definitely remember the first achievement."
This Zhu Meng was cruel enough. He only gave a blank check and no actual reward at all.
But Ge Zhuang just liked this. He smiled and gave Zhu Meng a fist salute, then turned around and left.
After watching him leave, Zhu Meng turned to Zhang Liao and asked, "Why are you stopping me from interrogating him personally?"
"Commander, Ge Cun has always been responsible for the city defense. After catching the spy, he interrogated him. This is human nature. Why do you have to force your way in? On the contrary, it creates a gap."
After listening to Zhang Liao's explanation, Zhu Meng nodded slightly.
"Okay, then we'll wait for good news from the village."
But early the next morning, when Zhu Meng summoned the generals to discuss matters, Ge Cun acted like a nobody and didn't even mention the matter.
Seeing Gecun leaving, Zhu Meng looked at Zhang Liao doubtfully.
"General Zhang, what's going on? He didn't say a word about it."
Zhang Liao let out a long sigh, "I misjudged Ge Cun. I think this guy has two intentions."
After hearing what he said, Zhu Meng couldn't help but frown, "Well, how do you say this?"
"Commander, even if he didn't ask about Chou Yinmao, he at least had to tell you, but he didn't say a word in front of you, making it clear that he didn't want you to know about it!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng nodded, "You're right, there's something wrong with this kid, but what do you think we should do next?"
"If we break up with him all of a sudden, I'm afraid it will cause a loss of morale in the army. After all, he has 50,000 people."
Zhang Liao chuckled, "Commander, without Ge Village, we still have Gezhuang."
"Send someone to kill Ge Cun tonight. The rest will be much easier to handle."
"But, what should we do if there is suspicion?" Zhu Meng was still a little worried about this radical approach.
"Commander, why would they doubt us? Don't forget that the spy who just captured Prince Xiao Jingyun two days ago. If something happens to Gecun, his people will only think that the spy has not been caught completely, and they will naturally take action against the caught spy.
Wouldn't the two sides be at odds with each other? If you stand high and demand revenge for Gecun, will Gecun's subordinates still have second thoughts about you?"
Zhu Meng nodded repeatedly after hearing this and gave Zhang Liao a thumbs up, "This is a very clever plan, very wonderful."
At this time, in Hetou Village, thousands of miles away, Chen Xiaobei and Liu Ce had marched into the mountains with a thousand people.
There are still so many supplies on the mountain, so we must come down as soon as possible.
Otherwise, after a cold winter, there will be no hair left.
Even though we are taking so many people into the mountains, our work at home cannot stop.
Chen Xiaobei divided Chen Dachun's village guards into two waves. One wave led a group of soldiers to continue burning charcoal, and more people were freed up to quickly build houses. There was still a large area of idle land in the four acres of land outside the village.
Well, we should quickly build more houses next to where Yang Zhi and the others live. Seven to eight hundred people will work together. I believe that a large area can be built in a few days.
After all, we have to transport so much supplies from the mountain, and there is no place to store them. We have no choice but to set up tents on the mountain, but there is no need to be so difficult when we come down the mountain.
The entire Hetou Village soon became busy.
Seeing the busy people, Cui Hongyu was a little at a loss. Everyone had something to do and had received clear instructions, so no one came to her to ask her about miscellaneous things. Qiaoer also went to school, leaving only
She was at home alone, and Cui Hongyu was a little uncomfortable with being free all of a sudden.
She is a restless person. Since no one is looking for her, she must find something to do.
Cui Hongyu started to embroider.
Unknowingly, the morning was over, and I even forgot to cook until a clear voice sounded from the door of the courtyard, "Sister-in-law, I'm out of school."
Only then did Cui Hongyu put down the needle and thread in his hand with a look of annoyance on his face, "Oh, oh, oh, you think it's my sister-in-law's fault. We forgot to cook. You play aside for a while, and I'll go and cook for you."
.”
"It's okay, sister-in-law, I'm not hungry yet." Chen Qiaoer went to the side and picked up a branch and started writing on the ground. Cui Hongyu hurriedly went to light the fire, and at this moment another voice sounded from the door of the courtyard.
"Sister, sister, are you at home?"
The person who spoke was Huang Ying. Cui Hongyu hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile, "I'm at home. Come in. You can sit down for a while. Food will be ready soon."
Huang Ying smiled and pointed to the cold pot and stove in the kitchen.
