A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1210

[Chapter 1200 Lurking]

Daosheng is Lianzhen Captain, which is indeed something Qi Ning did not expect.

He has a lot of contact with the Shenhou Mansion, and the daughter of the Shenhou mansion is the wife he is marrying, but only today did he really know the pervasiveness of the Shenhou mansion. After lurking for several years, and even gaining the trust of Qu Manbao, the Divine Marquis Mansion is so impressive that today is really an eye-opener for Qi Ning.

What made Qi Ning even more emotional was that the Chu State had planned a strategy to attack Xianyang years ago.

He always thought that this military plan was only figured out by the Golden Swordsman in recent years, but he knew that not only did the matter have been planned long ago, but the former emperor and the godly waiter Ximen Wuhen already knew about it, and even made arrangements for it.

Daosheng is Lianzhen Colonel, so all the weirdness before that makes sense.

Daosheng was Qu Manbao’s confidant, so he naturally knew Qu Manbao’s whereabouts like the palm of his hand, and he knew exactly how Xianyang was deployed. The Shenhou Mansion was not the only one in the northwest. Daosheng also directly admitted that there was also the Shenhou Mansion in the northwest. There are many secret spies who have been planted, these people are centered on Daosheng, and they have formed an underground intelligence network in the northwest.

Qi Ning had to admit that Daosheng persuaded Qu Manbao to go to Tongguan, and this alone was a great achievement. If not, it is really unknown whether Chu Jun’s operation will be successful.

Qi Ning returned the sign in his hand to Hong Mendao, Hong Mendao took it with both hands and put it away, Qi Ning raised his hand and said, “Get up and talk.”

Daosheng stood up and cupped his hands: “Sir, you and Junior Sister are happy. Jie Lianli, the little one didn’t come to celebrate, so please bear with me.” He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over, “This is a congratulatory gift from the little man to Sir and Junior Sister.”

Qi Ning’s expression softened, thinking of Hongmendao is one of the Seven Stars of the Divine Marquis Mansion. According to the order, it should be the fifth senior brother. He got up and cupped his hands and said, “Thank you fifth senior brother!” I don’t know what the gift is.

He opened his eyes and thought it was a gift list, but when he took a closer look, he saw a lot of names written on it, followed by official positions.

He was a little strange, and Hong Mendao said sternly: “Sir, this is a list of officials in the northwest. We have also carefully checked the officials in the northwest over the years. The officials registered in this list are more or less. There are unreliable reasons. Among them, those marked with a red line behind their names are people who cannot be trusted. If they are left in the northwest, it is very likely that something will happen. People are just taking salaries as official errands, and now my army has come to the northwest, as long as their lives are guaranteed, they will definitely serve my Great Chu.”

Qi Ning raised her eyebrows.

He certainly knew the importance of the roster.

Although the Chu army has controlled Xianyang, it is still unknown whether it can control the entire northwest.

The northwest folk customs are fierce, and Qi Ning has no way of knowing whether the people here will accept the arrival of the Chu State. If there is a rebellion in the northwest, Qi Ning will never be surprised.

It is precisely because of this that he immediately summoned the wealthy clan in the northwest and gave them excellent treatment, and before reporting to the imperial court, he had already promised the noble clan in the northwest that he would reopen the north-south trade route. The wealthy family in the northwest came to stabilize the situation in the northwest.

He naturally knew the influence of the aristocratic family in various places. As long as the aristocratic family could have a good impression of the state of Chu, and even assist the state of Chu, then there would be no major turmoil.

In addition to the wealthy family, officials in the northwest are of course an extremely important part. Therefore, he summoned the officials today to stabilize the minds of these people. These officials know that their lives are safe, and they can still serve as officials in the northwest. Naturally Rebellion will occur.

In fact, it is impossible for Qi Ning to attack the officials in the northwest at present. The northwest has a vast land. If these officials are dealt with, the land will not be chaotic or chaotic. If they can be reassured and abide by their duties, naturally they will not appear. Too much mess.

But after all, the Northwest has been under the rule of the Northern Han for decades. After all these years, the Northern Han court will inevitably infiltrate a large number of court forces into the northwest. Qi Ning looks at the officials of the Northwest, but what background do these people have? Who is really willing to be used by the Chu State, or who is at risk of provoking unrest, it is impossible for Qi Ning to know in a short time.

Now that we have this roster, we will have a very clear judgment on the position of the officials in the northwest.

“The last page of this roster is the outstanding officials in the Northwest.” Hong Mendao said solemnly: “Half of these people can be reused, and they are all available talents who can take charge of themselves. If I can make them great for me. It is a blessing for Chu to be effective. Among the other half, some can be won, but a small part, although outstanding in talent, cannot be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. As for how to deal with it, everything is up to the judge.”

Qi Ning flipped through a page.

Fan, put it away carefully, and said with a smile: “Five senior brothers, you have done a lot of credit this time, far ahead of us. I will write a book today and present it to the court. Your credit, I…!

” It’s not necessary.” Before Qi Ning could finish speaking, Hong Mendao immediately said, “These things are what we should do. Whether we want to report to the court or not requires the approval of the goddess in person, so…!”

Qi Ning suddenly After I understand, the Shenhou Mansion is a dark yamen after all, and the officials in the court and the central government never mention the Shenhou Mansion in the book. I understand, your credit will be rewarded by the goddess himself. Yes, now that Xianyang is in our hands, where are the five senior brothers going to go in the future?”

“My mission in the northwest has been completed, and I have arranged this place in the past few days. I have to return to Jianye to return to my life.” Hong Mendao smiled and said, “It’s been almost ten years since I left Jianye, and I don’t know how the old man and the brothers and sisters are waiting for him, yes, and the little sister, when she left, she He’s still just a child, and now he’s out of the cabinet…!” Speaking of this, he fell silent.

Of course, Qi Ning could understand Hong Mendao’s mood.

As an important intelligence yamen of the empire, Shenhou Mansion not only tightly controls the domestic forces, but also the movements of domestic officials are under the surveillance of Shenhou Mansion. In addition, intelligence collection of enemy countries is of course also an important part of Shenhou Mansion. one of the responsibilities.

Although Qi Ning was already the son-in-law of the Shenhou Mansion, he couldn’t even tell how many people there were in the Shenhou Mansion.

On the bright side, the Big Dipper of the Divine Marquis Mansion is naturally known to many people, but under the Big Dipper, no one can tell exactly how many officials of the Divine Marquis Mansion are lurking in the world.

It’s fine to stay in the country, but many officials of Shenhou’s mansion are far away from their homeland, lurking in the enemy’s territory, and they dormant for several years or even more than ten years.

During the lurking period, there are dangerous moments around, and there are a few, even if they die, no one knows.

Hongmendao was assigned by the Shenhou Mansion to lurk in the Northern Han Dynasty. I am afraid no one knows how many dangers he encountered in the middle.

Qi Ning knew that the attack on Xianyang was so successful this time, and that Hongmendao had made great contributions, but it took years of hard work for Hongmendao to be able to provide this information.

Lurking beside the enemy naturally means turning oneself into another person, acting day and night. I am afraid that such psychological pressure is not something that ordinary people can bear.

“Actually, Zhan Ying and the others have been worrying about the fifth senior brother.” Qi Ning said warmly: “On the day we got married, Zhan Ying told me that if the fifth senior brother was present, he would definitely give us a big gift.” Hong Men said with a

frown .

Showing a touch of warmth, he smiled and said: “Yes, go back to Jianye, and prepare a special gift for the little junior sister, otherwise if she sees her empty-handed, I’m afraid she will never talk to me again in her life.” Xiang Qining cupped his hands and said. : “Your Excellency, you are busy with official business, so I won’t bother you much. Take care of the affairs at hand in the past few days, and then say goodbye to Your Excellency. If Your Excellency has anything that needs my service these days, you can call me at any time.”

After Hong Mendao withdrew, Duan Canghai, who had been silent for a while, came forward and exclaimed, “Sir, I didn’t expect that this time we were going so well, but the people from the Shenhou Mansion secretly helped.”

“He has helped us a lot. After returning to Jian Ye, I really want to thank the goddess.”

Duan Canghai pondered for a while before saying, “Sir, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the Northwest in a short time.”

“Oh?”

“Although we won Xianyang and controlled Tongguan, it is not something that can be done overnight to completely surrender the Northwest to my great Chu.” Duan Canghai said in a low voice: “It is essential to manage the government and the people. , UU reading www.sonicmtl.com And Qu Yuangu lost the northwest, he would definitely think that Jiangxi would be retaken, the Lord is in charge here, the court can’t send another person to guard the northwest, and the Manchu civil and military, also No one is qualified to replace the lord, and I estimate that the lord will stay here for a year and a half.”

Qi Ning said with a bitter face: “A year and a half?”

“This is just an estimate for now, Maybe it will take longer.” Duan Canghai said: “By winning the Northwest, our Great Chu has an absolute advantage over the Northern Han in the military. If our Great Chu cannot drive straight into Luoyang this time, then the Northwest will inevitably become an empire in the future. I guess the emperor will issue a decree to let us go through the northwest, not only to stabilize the northwest, but also to accumulate strength, and when the time is right, cooperate with the Qinhuai army to launch a full-scale attack on the Northern Han from the flank.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly .

, In Tantai Huang’s military strategy, winning the Northwest was originally intended to be the main force of the Qinhuai Army as a flank. Now the state of Chu has the ability to launch an offensive against the Northern Han from two fronts, and the threat to the Northern Han is extremely huge.

Even if there is no action, the Northern Han Dynasty only needed to guard against the Chu State on the front line of Qinhuai. Now it not only needs to guard against the enemy in the south, but also spends huge financial resources and manpower to deal with the threat from the northwest. In this way, the consumption of the Northern Han is also Unprecedentedly huge.
