Chapter 21 Allegiance
Inside the tent.
Mo Jun buried his head in the rice. Today's supplement was extremely rare. It was not mutton but beef.
Because yesterday when Tunliu happened to have a cow going up the mountain to graze, it accidentally fell down the cliff and died.
Mo Jun gave Xiong Da a share as usual, and Xiong Da was not polite about it. According to him, Mo Jun saved his life anyway, so he might as well just sell himself to Mo Jun.
Until he was eating, Xiong Da still glanced at Mr. Mo's face from time to time, his eyes full of amazement and amazement. It felt like Mr. Mo had seen some extremely rare rare animals in the zoo in his previous life.
Mr. Mo was a little unaccustomed to such attention, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Has anything happened in the army recently?"
Hearing Lord Mo's inquiry, Xiong Da also quickly looked away, with a slightly more serious look on his face, and said: "There is nothing going on here in Tunliu. General Meng is still reorganizing his troops, and he should be planning to attack Zhao again."
"But I heard that the army led by General Wang Jian was blocked by the State of Zhao on the Yaoshan Mountain. The two sides fought for three days, and the outcome was indifferent. Lord Chang'an took the opportunity to escape to the State of Zhao, and was also awarded
manor."
Previously, Xiong Da said that he wanted to sell himself to Lord Mo. Although he said it in a seemingly joking tone, in fact, this was Xiong Da's true thoughts in his heart.
After all, although Xiong Da survived by chance before, he lost one of his thumbs. Not only will this affect his future life, but the label of 'semi-disabled person' will probably stay with him for the rest of his life.
Although his parents and brothers are all still alive in the Xiong family, he will not be reduced to the point where he is old and homeless in the future. But he is a smart man, and most smart people have a common problem, that is, they are unwilling to be ordinary.
Therefore, if Xiong Da does not want to have to live in a remote mountain and get a wife that only a "semi-cripple" can get, then he must find another way out.
Fortunately, Xiong Da has such an opportunity right now.
After the "new knife-created medicine" incident, Mo Jun's future is already a smooth road visible to the naked eye. Even if he does nothing in the future, this one contribution alone will be enough to gain a lot of fame and rewards.
In this era, it is not a shame to choose a "Ming Lord" and devote oneself to one's loyalty.
Quite the opposite.
If you prove that your vision is correct, it will be an extremely glorious thing.
Although the specific rewards for Mr. Mo have not been announced yet, because the rewards for merit will not be unified until the war is completely over. But as long as Mr. Mo makes a statement at this time, he dare not say anything else, but he will gain the loyalty of more than two digits of diners.
Absolutely no problem.
But it is a pity that Mr. Mo does not seem to have such an idea so far (in fact, it is mainly because he has been in retreat during this period, and Mr. Mo does not know much about this aspect now), which has also disappointed many people who are watching secretly.
What's more, the icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.
In comparison.
Xiong Da, who had established a friendship with Mr. Mo from the beginning, had a huge advantage.
So Xiong Da decisively seized the opportunity and expressed his intention to Mr. Mo, and Mr. Mo also understood and accepted Xiong Da's surrender.
First of all, Mo Jun is indeed short of manpower.
Secondly, in Mo Jun's opinion, Xiong Da is indeed a very talented person. Especially in terms of gathering intelligence, Mo Jun still doesn't understand where this guy got so much gossip.
Third, Xiong Daye is indeed smart and has a calm personality.
After all, when Mo Jun supported him on the battlefield, Xiong Da didn't even communicate at the first moment, but he was able to decisively give up one of his fingers and play a perfect match with Mo Jun.
Nowadays, more than 99% of the common people do not even know a single person, but this is an extremely rare talent.
After accepting Xiong Da's allegiance, the first task assigned to him by Lord Mo was to inquire about various intelligence in the military camp. This was also a kind of experience given to him.
······
After listening to Xiong Da's information, Mo Jun thought for a moment.
The fact that Wang Jian failed to deal with Zhao's reinforcements in the battle at Yaoshan did not surprise Mr. Mo. After all, according to his understanding, although Wang Jian was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, this battle was very special.
Because the main goal of the 100,000 troops led by Wang Jian this time was to put down the rebellion of Jun Chengyu of Chang'an as quickly as possible.
Therefore, in order to win this battle quickly, Wang Jian's army carried only dry food for the emergency march, and the total strength was far from a hundred thousand.
Such an army can fight surprises and bursts, but it cannot fight protracted wars.
Therefore, in the battle of Yaoshan, as long as Wang Jian could not defeat the enemy in a short period of time, he would definitely choose to retreat.
So this news is not surprising.
On the contrary, the information that Chang'an Jun Chengyu fled to Zhao made Jun Mo think of something.
"If the time is correct, then Wang Jian failed to make a contribution, and it won't be long before the trap will be deployed!" Mo Jun murmured in his heart.
"By the way, there is another thing. Although General Wang Jian failed to capture the State of Zhao this time, he took a city of the State of Wei on his way back." At this moment, Xiong Da suddenly thought of it.
What, added another sentence.
Mr. Mo: "·······"
Good guy.
This wave of operations by Wang Jian left Mo Jun speechless.
"Could this be the legendary "all comers are here"?"
The urgent march led by Wang Jian was indeed powerless to face Zhao's 100,000 troops who were ready to go and waiting for work.
But if on the way back, while the Wei State is not paying attention, there is a sudden sneak attack without martial ethics, it is indeed very possible to capture a city in a short period of time.
"Sure enough, ginger is still spicy when old!"
······
After eating and replenishing his food, the bear left the camp carrying the clay pot.
After a brief wash, Mr. Mo changed into clean clothes and prepared to go to the central military tent. After all, without Meng Ao's care this month, it would be difficult for Mr. Mo to have such a quiet retreat environment.
If others value you so much, you should go and say hello after the retreat.
But just when Mr. Mo just walked out of the camp, he saw an old man with gray hair and boyish face walking towards him from a distance. He also knew this old man. He was one of the most skilled medical practitioners in the military today.
"Mo Jun, you came just in time, come with me quickly!"
When the old man saw the drastically changed Mr. Mo, a flash of surprise and shock suddenly flashed in his eyes, but soon turned into anxiety again. He came over and took Mr. Mo's hand, and hurriedly walked towards the central military tent.
Seeing the old man's expression, Mo Jun also had an unknown premonition in his heart.
"Shan Lao, what are you doing?"
"Stop talking now, follow me to the central military tent quickly. General Meng Ao... is ill."
