Chapter 419 A belly full of bad water
But it is obvious that Xu Zan is not the only one who will be beaten by him.
At this moment, the Han family is holding back a belly full of bad water and is about to "vomit" a big lump.
"What did you say, is Xiao Jinshan really going to start a rebellion?"
Han Yu slapped the table, his expression excited.
The old housekeeper lowered his voice, "That's right, the letter sent by the secret envoy said that he has gathered troops in Jiaodong and will launch it soon, so let us in Beijing be prepared."
After saying that, he glanced behind the screen and saw that the servants had all left, so he stepped forward and continued.
"Lord Xiao also said that we don't need to take the lead this time, we just need to help him do one thing."
"Once Jiaodong raises an army, the national teacher will send people to fight. In a panic, the most important thing is food and supplies." The old housekeeper hinted in a low voice.
As the saying goes, food and supplies must be sent before the troops move, which means the importance of food and supplies in war.
Han Yu narrowed his eyes, "You mean, Xiao Jinshan wants us to destroy the military supplies of the national teacher and his party?"
The old housekeeper nodded quickly.
"Sometimes, the dispute between military strategists is about logistics. If the food and supplies cannot be supplied, then there is only loss."
Hearing this, Han Yu's face was filled with secret joy.
So he called Han Jian to discuss the matter! It just so happened
that there was a junior official in the Ministry of War who had always been in charge of baggage. He was also an old subordinate of Xiao Jinshan and had been waiting for his old master to return. It was time for him to be of use.
...
At the same time, in the Qinzheng Palace, Mu Yihan also received military intelligence reports.
"So, he is finally ready to take action?" Mu Yihan raised his eyelids and his voice became cold.
Ali clenched his fists, "Xiao Jinshan has a wolfish ambition, but fortunately the national teacher has made arrangements early, and he will definitely not be allowed to succeed this time."
Since returning to Beijing, Mu Yihan has sent black-armored spies to search for traces of Xiao Jinshan.
Speaking of the grievances between the Xiao and Mu families, it has a long history.
When the Southern Dynasty was founded, it relied on the ancestors of the Mu and Xiao families to fight each other.
Under the glorious military exploits, the Murong royal family intentionally or unintentionally let the two families fight each other in order to balance the imperial power, which made them old enemies.
The grievances between the two families are entangled and have continued to this generation.
Many years ago, Xiao Jinshan had maliciously framed and killed Mu Yihan's parents on the battlefield.
Mu Yihan lost his parents at a young age, and he was lonely and had been keeping a close eye on the Xiao family. Finally, when he was only fourteen years old, he found evidence of Xiao Jinshan's treason and sentenced him to beheaded.
Xiao Jinshan is a man of great ability. Although
he was sentenced to beheaded in the street that day, he still found a way to hide from everyone and escape from the shell of the golden cicada.
In the following ten years, Xiao Jinshan had been lurking in Wala, first gaining the trust of the Wala people.
Later, he used the power of his old subordinates to control the court, causing the national strength of Nanji to become weaker and weaker.
What Xiao Jinshan wanted was revenge.
Revenge on Mu Yihan and the royal family of Nanji.
For this reason, he accumulated strength for ten years, just waiting for the day when he could ascend the throne, completely grasp the power, and trample all those who had been against him under his feet. There
was silence for a long time in the hall.
Mu Yihan lowered his dark eyes.
Fortunately, he had long seen through Xiao Jinshan's purpose. He
had already divided the soldiers and sent them secretly to the Jiaodong area.
But he could not send too many people, otherwise, if Xiao Jinshan came to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the capital would be caught off guard.
Mu Yihan thought for a moment and made up his mind, "Go pack up, I will go to Jiaodong in person to lead the troops to fight."
Ali hesitated, "Beiwan and other states have agreed to send troops, but they can't arrive for a while. My Lord, do you want to wait for them before making a decision?"
Mu Yihan shook his head decisively, "Military affairs can't wait for a moment, I will go first, and when their people arrive, I will go directly to reinforce."
Seeing that the state master had made up his mind, Ali could only start immediately and make preparations.
In addition to the troops sent to Jiaodong, Mu Yihan will lead 5,000 troops to confuse Xiao Jinshan.
Let him think that Mu Yihan only has 5,000 troops in this battle.
There have never been any secrets in the imperial city.
The news that the state master was going to lead troops to Jiaodong spread quickly.
Han Yu got the news and naturally knew that he was going to Xiao Jinshan, so he quickly found the Shaoqing of the Ministry of War to discuss making some changes to the grain and fodder. When
Xiao Nuobao heard that his father was leaving the palace, he couldn't sit still at home and hurried back to the palace.
"Daddy, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you going to the war? Take Nuobao with you!"
The little guy, carrying a woven bag on his back, and his little baby fat was bouncing into Mu Yihan's arms.
Mu Yihan lowered his eyes and looked at the anxious little cotton-padded jacket, and his heart felt a little warmer.
Even if it was for the sake of his daughter, he had to settle the matter as soon as possible and give her a prosperous Southern Chronicle.
"Where Daddy is going will be very dangerous, you can't go." Mu Yihan lowered his voice and refused.
But Xiao Nuobao refused to give up and held his arm tightly.
"No, no, I am the goddess appointed by my father. I want to follow my father and protect him all the way." The little girl looked stubborn.
Mu Yihan was in a dilemma. He didn't want to disappoint her, but he didn't know how to persuade her. At this time, Ali brought someone in.
"See you, Imperial Master."
"I am the Junior Secretary of the Ministry of War. I have something to report to the Imperial Master."
A middle-aged man knelt on the ground, his tone was very urgent.
