Hello Chang’an

Chapter 429 He can, but she can’t (please vote)

The next day, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cui Jing summoned his confidants and counselors to discuss matters in the tent.

When everyone arrived, they saw not only the Grand Governor sitting in the tent, but also a young girl in green robes.

Everyone knew who this green-robed girl was, but they still waited for their Grand Governor to formally introduce her before saluting her in unison.

Chang Sui Ning smiled and nodded to them: "Everyone, nice to meet you."

At this moment, she saw more than ten people, among whom there were about six or seven who were over forty years old, and four of them were familiar faces to her.

This is her old department.

The old troops are still there, and they have Cui Jing's respect and trust. Although they are no longer young, they are still at the forefront guarding the Dasheng Mountains and Rivers. Chang Sui Ning's heart is touched beyond words.

Everyone was also touched. It was rare in their lifetime to see a young girl next to the Governor.

The year before last, everyone in Xuance's army knew that the Governor was rejected at the hibiscus flower banquet in the capital.

Everyone is inevitably excited to see the rightful owner today.

Therefore, this is the focus of everyone's eyes at the moment, and they agree that the appearance of Chang Governor is most likely a show-off move by his own governor. This move can be roughly named "Yes, she did come to see me, What is said in the army is not a rumor]—

But soon, everyone discovered that their thinking was too superficial and simple.

They sat around in the tent and each talked about their next strategy for fighting. Some suggested waiting for the enemy to move, while others suggested that they should try to unite forces from all over the country to take the initiative to attack and strike first.

Cui Jingjing mostly nodded when he heard this. After everyone finished speaking, he looked at Chang Suining aside: "May I ask what Governor Chang's opinion is?"

Chang Suining looked at everyone: "I wonder if you have ever thought of a way to fight without losing blood?"

Most of the people looked stunned or surprised.

It's not that they thought Governor Chang shouldn't get involved. After all, it was their chief governor who took the initiative to ask what his opinion was.

Furthermore, although Chang Jishi was just a young girl, she was now the most dazzling general in Da Sheng. She was so beautiful and had an impeccable record. Even though the governor did not speak, some of them were curious. The opinion of the Chang Governor.

All in all, this person's opinion is worth listening to.

What really surprised them was that the other party actually said the words "a weapon without a **** edge" -

Apart from the rumors of the reincarnation of this young general who was born out of nowhere, the most impressive thing is her murderousness and "arrogance".

It should be noted that she just killed all the invading Japanese troops on the Yellow River. Even when faced with a foreign tribe, such a method of eradicating the weeds still makes people feel a little intimidated...

But when asked about her opinion at this moment, she said that she would fight without bloodshed?

After a brief surprise, a counselor nodded: "I have thought about it, but..."

Subjugating others without fighting is the only choice that can best reflect your own value as a planner.

But it is also the most difficult to implement and achieve success. The method of fighting without bloodshed is subject to too many conditions, and more often than not, you have to fight.

The other two counselors also shook their heads. One of them looked at Chang Sui Ning and asked with some shame, "Does Governor Chang have a good plan?"

"There is no concrete plan yet." Chang Suining looked at them: "I don't have a vision or wisdom that is far beyond yours. I just happened to have some information, so I think this method may be discussed."

"Whether it is feasible or not depends on your opinions and judgment."

The beautiful and famous girl was unexpectedly humble and polite, with calmness and respect in her eyes.

After she finished speaking, she asked a woman soldier beside her to present the information she mentioned to them for review.

In fact, Chang Suining did not intend to appear here at first. She only wanted to inform Cui Jing of the information she obtained and her thoughts, and then Cui Jing would discuss it with his subordinates. She would learn how Cui Jing treated her in the past. Be a person who only helps behind the scenes and does not steal the limelight, so as not to be suspected of "dove occupying the magpie's nest" -

But that magpie, no, that Cui Ling'an refused to agree, and had double standards - he could be behind it, but she couldn't.

From Cui Jing's point of view, everything she provided, whether it was intelligence or wisdom, should only be shown to everyone in person by her, and there was no reason for anyone else to do it for her.

It could be seen that the information Chang Suining asked Hao Huan to share had been sorted out, but it was still numerous. It took everyone nearly two quarters of an hour to read it.

The further down they looked, the more surprised they became...most of them were the composition of the Kangdingshan family and their trusted generals, listing their origins, temperaments, and the factions to which they belonged.

During wartime, it is not surprising to collect intelligence on important enemy personnel, but it is not at all common to obtain such a large amount of detailed information in such a short period of time.

A counselor tried to ask: "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I don't know where the governor Chang got this information? How credible is it?"

"Because we want to ensure the safety of the person who provided the information, please forgive me for not being able to elaborate on where it was obtained."

The girl did not give an answer, but she was direct and frank.

The counselor hesitated for a moment and nodded in understanding.

Chang Suining continued: "But what I can assure you is that eighty-nine out of ten of these are true and credible news."

Most of this information was provided by Deng Tailou's secret agents in Yingzhou and the Northeast. They have been operating deep in Yingzhou for many years, but Chang Suining could not explain the existence of her intelligence organization to these people, and did not want to let it have the possibility of being exposed. .

The existence of intelligence organizations has always been as dark as possible and safer.

At this time, Cui Jing said seriously: "I believe that the information given by Governor Chang is correct."

Hearing the word "gift", most of the people thought. Yes, this Chang Governor was the giver and the one who kindly helped them.

Moreover, the Grand Governor had already spoken, so they no longer had to try to question him.

Trusting the coach's decision-making and judgment has always been the primary consensus among the Xuance Army.

There were also a few people who were a little worried about whether their governor would be carried away by selfish motives, but after all, they were only a minority and did not dare to say it to his face.

So based on this information, everyone began to seriously discuss the feasibility of a bloodless strategy.

In a war, the importance of intelligence is self-evident. With intelligence, the seemingly watertight enemy defenses can be broken through. The seemingly invincible enemy also has weaknesses that can be exploited.

The so-called strategy of going to war requires first knowing what the other party is planning, and secondly, when attacking, one must also know what the other party is offering. All superior military techniques are inseparable from the word "knowing the enemy". Those who know themselves and the enemy are destined to take the lead and have a greater chance of victory.

However, not all intelligence can be put to good use. Turning intelligence into strategies to defeat the enemy often requires painstaking research, and the implementation process will also be subject to many specific situation limitations.

"Of course, all the generals' proposals can be tried..." A counselor said hesitantly: "But if we want to be successful enough, there is still one missing person."

A military plan cannot be accomplished by one person.

Especially if you want to take the initiative to attack Kangding Mountain from within, it is best to have someone available as an internal response.

Of course, they can try to find the person who is responsible, or lobby, or use both soft and hard tactics to make the other party work for them... The specific candidates need to be carefully considered and selected. As for whether they can succeed, they will not know until they try.

This requires some time to operate and penetrate. They do not lack this patience, but they are worried that Kangdingshan and Mohe will not have the patience to wait any longer. Before that, the other side may launch troops. When a counselor was ready to select someone who could break through from the intelligence list, Chang Suining said: "I have a candidate who can be given a try. But how to make the most of this person, we need to listen to Governor Cui." and your opinions.”

Immediately, a counselor was overjoyed and asked: "I wonder who the governor Chang was referring to? Is he on this intelligence list?"

Chang Suining nodded: "The eighth son of Kangdingshan, Kang Cong."

There was silence in the tent, and then an unexpected voice sounded.

"Kang Bazi...how can he become an internal agent of our army?"

"Could it be that Governor Chang is an old acquaintance of this person?"

It can't be possible. This person provided all this information?

But, it shouldn’t be...

Chang Sui Ning smiled: "On the way to Youzhou, I just made a good relationship."

A counselor lowered his head and looked at the information in his hand again, pointing his finger at the lines of information about Kang Cong -

The eighth son of Kangdingshan, Kang Cong, also known as Mu Sheng, was born to an orchid mother. Rumor has it that his origins are questionable and he is not liked by his father. He is often ostracized. He has a strong personality and is unsatisfied with the status quo...

Kang Cong returned to Jizhou, where Kangding Mountain was located, on the night before New Year's Eve.

He was injured by an arrow in his arm, and the wound was only briefly treated on the way. Since he returned from running all the way, he was already exhausted and weak when he saw his father Kangding Mountain.

But he still knelt down to apologize immediately. His mission to assassinate the imperial envoy failed, and he tried to beg his father for forgiveness.

His father's silent but surging anger, and the taunts and taunts from his brothers made Kang Cong, who was kneeling there, never dare to raise his head.

Until he heard his father finally say: "Hong Chen is dead?"

Thinking of the last scene when he saw Hong Chen's arrow falling from his horse and being chased by the enemy, Kang Cong judged and said: "It should be..."

"He is dead, why can you come back safe and sound?"

Hearing his father's question, Kang Cong suddenly raised his head and met a pair of cold and scrutinizing eyes.

"How could I not know, father, when did your ability surpass that of Hong Chen?"

Kang Cong couldn't answer.

Indeed, he did not come back with his own abilities. It was Chang Sui Ning who let him go...but could he say that? How does he explain the other person's actions? Who would believe that Chang Sui Ning was just "showing kindness"?

He was only focused on escaping for his life and returning. He was hungry, cold, and in pain... so he had no time to prepare a perfect excuse.

In other words, he could never have imagined that a son would need to make up a perfect excuse to his father for the rest of his life.

"It was my close followers who fought to the death to protect each other that allowed me to escape. At that time..."

As soon as Kang Cong finished speaking, he was punched to the ground.

"You loser, how dare you be secretive!"

Mr. Kang Silang, who was already twenty-five years old, almost used his maximum strength in this punch.

Kang Si's face was full of anger and hatred: "You are a father, don't you know? My uncle's troops came back ahead of you yesterday. He saw with his own eyes that you were showing off your authority in front of the battle, and refused to listen to dissuasion. Wei Shuyi fell into the trap and killed his uncle! This mission failed!"

His mother is a daughter of the Hong family, and the uncle he calls is Hong Chen.

"No... I did fall into Wei Shuyi's trick and was accidentally kidnapped by the other party, but General Hong did not agree to the exchange. Later, it was because they had reinforcements..."

Kang Si kicked Kang Cong, who was about to sit up, to the ground again: "If I can't cover it up, I'm going to argue! So what if there are reinforcements? If you hadn't fallen into the trap and been delayed by them, wouldn't you be worried about not being able to kill them!"

Kang Si didn't seem to understand his hatred, and kicked him one after another: "...You will die as soon as you die. You are useless to the Kang family anyway, but you still want to hurt my uncle!"

Kang Cong fell to the ground and held his head, his blood-stained teeth trembling.

No one tried to stop him, and what he saw out of the corner of his eye were the looks of his brothers in disgust or looking at the show.

"That's enough." Kang Dingshan finally scolded with a frown.

A military general came in and whispered in Kang Dingshan's ear: "Jiushi, the horse brought back by Mr. Balang seems to be from Xingzhou."

In addition to citrus fruits, Xingzhou is also rich in fine horses.

Xingzhou horses were introduced from Shiwei horses many years ago. After generations of improvements, they still retain some of the appearance characteristics of Shiwei horses.

After Chang Sui Ning returned from Japan, the Lord of Xingzhou gave her dozens of such fine horses.

"There are no horses from Xingzhou in our army..." Kang Dingshan looked at Kang Cong who struggled to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Not only do you have the ability to escape, but you also have the ability to escape with such a good horse, which really impresses me. ”

"Father, maybe he has been bribed!" Kang Si gritted his teeth.

"Father...I didn't!" Kang Cong was shocked. He raised his hand and swore, regardless of his bleeding mouth and nose: "My son can swear to God that he will never betray his father and the Kang family!"

Kang Dingshan looked at him intently for a moment, then turned to the general and said, "Kill that horse and share the food with the soldiers."

In an instant, an endless chill suddenly rose up around Kang Cong's body.

That horse was a rare good horse. Without that horse, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to come back alive...

He had only received cold looks and bullying since he was a child. It may be funny to say that he was actually grateful to the horse that escorted him back and accompanied him to escape death.

He wanted to keep the horse, really wanted to.

But can he speak?

Is it really just the horse that my father wants to kill?

In a daze, Kang Cong seemed to hear the sound of the exhausted horse screaming and falling down. He was trembling all over, unable to hold on any longer, and passed out.

When he woke up again, it was already three days later.

Seeing him wake up, his mother Yuezhi lay on the edge of the bed and cried loudly.

Soon a servant brought soup and medicine, along with a plate of cooked meat.

"What is this?" Yuezhi asked in confusion.

The maid replied in a low voice: "This is the horse meat that the envoy asked to give to Mr. Eight Lang... He said that he would deliver it to Mr. Eight Lang as soon as possible after he wakes up."
