A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1212

[Chapter 1202 The Mystery of Life and Death]

After the victory in the Northwest, Qi Ning naturally sent someone to send the news of the victory to the imperial court as soon as possible, but it would take a lot of time to reach Jianye from the northwest. , so until the court’s will arrives, Qi Ning can only maintain the situation in the northwest as much as possible.

Being in his position, Qi Ning realized that there was a sentence that really made sense.

Those in high positions do not necessarily need to know how to do things, but they must know how to employ people and be able to put the right people in the right positions to do the right things. This is the most brilliant ability of those in high positions.

Qi Ning suddenly felt that he seemed to be doing a good job at this point. At least ten days after entering Xianyang City, the whole Xianyang City had regained its former atmosphere. In a short period of time, he has accepted and adapted to the arrival of the Chu army. Although the Chinese character flag at the head of the city has become the Chu character flag, the officials at all levels in charge seem to be familiar faces. For most people in Xianyang City, Nothing seems to have changed much.

In the first few days, Qi Ning was really busy. He couldn’t even remember how many things he had to deal with and how many people he met. After the first days, he finally calmed down.

The people couldn’t feel the change of the king’s flag, but the officials who were on duty knew the difference. Since the new empire has control of this land, it will naturally have some new atmosphere, and it is necessary to change many of the previous Old habits may not be easy, but as diligent as possible, doing what you need to do is conscientiously done, at least you can give the young master a good impression.

The officials are not fools. Everyone knows that Qi Ning did not make much mobilization of the officials in the northwest. Of course, it is not because of how much he trusts the officials in the northwest. .

As long as it stabilizes, the court will of course have to clean up the northwest.

However, everyone is also very clear in their hearts that any force has always occupied the northwest, and in the end, it is necessary to use the local power in the northwest to assist in management. This is the case in the Northern Han, and the Chu state will still take this road, although some people are destined to be arrested in the not-too-distant future. However, most officials are still able to eat a bowl of rice under the control of the Great Chu Empire, so if they are more active now and show more talent, the possibility of staying in office or even being promoted in the future will be higher. .

In order to make a living for the future,

this time is the time when you should do your best in your life.

Therefore, with the officials actively and diligently handling official duties, the time for Qi Ning to worry has gradually decreased, and he even had enough time to observe Xianyang City and appreciate the style of the largest city in the northwest.

There are military newspapers delivered every day from Tongguan.

The soldiers and horses sent back by Qu Yuangu really did not launch a decent attack on Tongguan in the aftermath. Several times they sent people to sneak close to the pass in the middle of the night, and they were immediately shot and killed by the guards who were waiting. After that, the Northwest Army died down and focused on Tongguan. A checkpoint was built about ten miles east. It is said that the Northwest Army captured a large number of civilians and even mined boulders nearby. From this, it seems that a solid pass is really going to be built to compete with Tongguan.

Now that Qi Ning understood Qu Yuangu’s true intentions, he also understood that Tongguan was not under much pressure, but he still ordered the Tongguan guards not to be negligent in the slightest. , of course, this scene cannot be repeated in Tongguan.

After all, Hong Mendao came to see Qi Ning one night.

What did Hong Mendao do in the past ten days? Qi Ning didn’t know anything, and he didn’t ask much. After all, it was the matter of the Shenhou Mansion.

However, Qi Ning could also guess that he should make some arrangements for the spies lurking in the Shenhou Mansion in the northwest.

Hong Mendao dressed up and came in to pay respects to Qi Ning, and then he said: “Your Highness, things here have been arranged properly. I plan to return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to return to the Lord of God, so I came here to say goodbye to Your Highness.”

Qi Ning nodded and said: “It’s a long way to go, Fifth Senior Brother take care of you all the way.” He said again: ” Fifth Senior Brother wait a moment.” Turning to the back hall, he came out after a while, carrying a package in his hand and handing it to Hong Mendao, Hong Mendao was a little suspicious , Qi Ning smiled and said: “There are some silver notes and some fine treasures. I know that the fifth senior brother doesn’t care about money, but this is my personal intention, you can accept it.”

Hong Mendao hesitated. After a while, Qi Ning said, “It’s all my own, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Hong Mendao was amused, thinking to himself that you are leading the army this time, is it possible that you will carry treasures with you?

Now you can enter and leave the treasure house of the General’s Mansion in Zhenxi. There are countless treasures in it, and no one knows how much you can take. The treasures in this package are probably taken from the treasure house of the General’s Mansion, but since Qi Ning After some thoughts, Hong Mendao didn’t say much, he took it over and smiled: “Thank you sir for the reward, I really don’t have a few taels of silver in my hand, and I don’t have much money to invite them to drink after returning to Beijing, just in time. Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha

.”

Qi Ning laughed and thought for a while before taking out two letters from his arms and said, “Five senior brothers, looking at the current situation, I will not be able to return to Beijing for a while, here are two letters, one It is for the third lady in my house, and the other is for Zhan Ying. I am a little worried about sending these two letters back, so I asked the fifth senior brother to do it for me to bring these two letters back.”

Hong Mendao put down the package and put his hands down. After taking it, he said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Sir, after returning to Beijing, I will hand these two letters into their hands.

” People, I have always been hiding my identity here, and it will be inconvenient for me to see you off tomorrow.”

“Your Excellency is polite.” Hong Mendao said with a smile, carefully taking the two letters into his arms, thinking of something before saying: ” Yes, there is one last thing before leaving.”

“Is there anything I can’t worry about?” Qi Ning asked, “If I can help, Fifth Senior Brother, but it doesn’t matter.”

Hong Mendao lowered his voice and said, “I have already arranged things on my side, but I just want to make the Jue I’m going to see someone.”

“Anyone?” Qi Ning was stunned, and said, “Who do you want to see? Brother five can let him come to the General’s Mansion.”

Hong Mendao shook his head and said, “This person has a very special identity, not only can he not come here. The General’s Mansion, and when the Lord sees him, there can be no other people around. This person has a very important matter to tell the Lord.”

Qi Ning looked suspicious, and Hong Mendao immediately said: “Don’t worry, the Lord. , I know the details of this person, and there is no threat to the Lord.”

“Five senior brothers misunderstood.” Qi Ning smiled: “I’m not worried about any threat to me, it’s just that this person is mysterious and mysterious. , why do you want to see me?”

Hong Mendao hesitated for a while before saying: “Your Excellency has no idea, I have been lurking in Northern Han for many years and have been collecting information for Da Chu, but there is one extremely important piece of information that has always been No clues.”

“What information are you talking about?”

Hong Mendao lowered his voice and said, “Your Excellency should have heard of Beitangqing, Marquis of Changling!”

“Beitangqing?” It is very familiar, and perhaps the entire Qinhuai Army has a fresh memory of this name.

Beitangqing, the Marquis of Changling, can be said to be the biggest enemy of the Chu State. This man has been in command of the Han army and the Qinhuai army commanded by Jinyihou Qijing. It’s always hard to tell the winner.

Qi Jing died at an early age, but Bei Tangqing, a famous general, disappeared a few years ago.

However, Chu State’s fear of Beitangqing was not weakened by Beitangqing’s mysterious disappearance. When Chu State planned the Northern Expedition, they considered that the biggest hidden danger was Beitangqing. The main force went north, but encountered Beitangqing’s comeback. The consequences were unimaginable. This also shows the power of Beitangqing in the hearts of Chu people.

When Hong Mendao suddenly mentioned Beitangqing, Qi Ning was surprised, but not too surprised.

Qi Ning knew a little about Beitangqing’s disappearance. Back then, Beitangqing ruled the Southern Army of the Northern Han Dynasty on the front line, and won the hearts of the army. Because of this, he was jealous of Beitanghuan, the former emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. It is said that Beitanghuan even issued an edict to recruit Beitangqing to return to Beijing, and many of Beitangqing’s subordinates had already predicted that Beitangqing might encounter an accident if he returned to Beijing. Li is ready to support Beitangqing to seize the throne.

But Beitangqing finally returned to the capital. When he stepped into the city gate of Luoyang capital, there was no news of this generation of famous generals since then, as if the world had evaporated.

It’s just that people all know that Beitangqing had great military exploits and his prestige in the Northern Han army was too high.

Once a courtier is jealous of the emperor, the result will not be much better. Beitangqing’s disappearance naturally makes people suspect that he was executed in secret by Beitanghuan. The famous general of the Northern Han Dynasty.

is the most feared Northern Han people in the Chu state. He suddenly disappeared and naturally attracted the attention of the Chu state. For the Chu state, if Beitangqing was really executed by Beitanghuan in secret, then the Beihan Just like if the pillars and beams were broken by themselves, this would be great news for the Chu State, but the Northern Han Dynasty never announced the news of Beitangqing’s death. In this way, Beitangqing was dead or alive. A big mystery.

Beitangqing’s life or death is even related to Chu’s military strategy against Northern Han, so sending someone to find out Beitangqing’s life and death is naturally the information that Shenhoufu must find out.

Principal Lian Zhen, Hong Mendao, was lurking in the Northern Han Dynasty. He was the head of the secret agents of the Shenhou Mansion in the Northern Han Dynasty. It was only reasonable for him to investigate the life and death of Bei Tangqing.

“Exactly.” Hong Mendao nodded slightly and said, “A few years ago, Beitangqing disappeared suddenly, and there was no news of him in the Northern Han Dynasty. , but he has never stopped investigating Bei Tangqing’s whereabouts. It took a lot of manpower and material resources, but no clues were found. Until a few months ago, I finally found a glimmer of hope.”
