Pei Yinghou heard Han Mo's inquiry and immediately looked solemn, saying, "Sir, there is a rule in the Flower Hall, that is, military affairs do not record files, so in this information, the affairs of the Northwest are not recorded!"

Han Mo frowned and said, "What do you mean is that the military situation in the northwest has changed?"

Pei Yinghou nodded and said, "It is... According to reliable information, more than a month ago, the Western Wei began to gather troops in the Xincheng City of Suiding County, and it was mainly cavalry. By the tenth day of May, 40,000 troops had been gathered on the Xincheng, half of which were cavalry. Sima Qingtian, a famous general of the Wei State, was said to have arrived in the Xincheng!"

"Map!" Han Mo said immediately.

Pei Yinghou seemed to be ready, took out a map from his sleeve and opened the large table tiled on Han Mo.

This is a map of the territory of the four Central Plains. The 26 counties of the four countries are divided into all, and the cities of each county are clearly marked.

Suiding County is the county closest to the east of Wei State, and is closely bordered by Nanyang County of Qing State. Nanyang County is the major county of Qing State that borders Wei and Yan State.

Nanyang County borders Suiding County, Wei State, and Yan State to the east, which is the prefecture and county where the Hu family is located. This Nanyang County is like a dagger in the territory of Qing State, protruding forward, cutting the Wei and Yan countries.

There are two cities in Suiding County, and the new city is close to Nanyang County.

Han Mo frowned and murmured: "Does Wei's actions indicate that they are going to attack Nanyang County? There has been no war for many years, why did Wei suddenly act again this time?"

Pei Yinghou thought about it and then said softly: "There has been no war in recent years. The horse farm under the Great Snow Mountain of Wei is extremely prosperous, with fat and long legs. In recent years, it has also been smelting iron and copper, secretly traded, and has also reserved a large amount of war materials... The most important thing is that Wei has always been worried that when they sent troops to Qing, the feud Feng Kingdom might bite behind them and never act rashly. However, recently we received news that there seemed to be chaos in Feng. It is said that Feng Kingdom had fought several times within the eight villages of Feng Kingdom and could not take care of themselves. Naturally, it was impossible to have the energy to attack Wei Kingdom, so Wei Kingdom showed signs of a big sword and sword!"

Han Mo held his chin and was silent for a moment before saying, "What is Qingguo's reaction?"

"Qingguo has also begun to transfer troops to Nanyang County to strictly guard the western front...!" Pei Yinghou said slowly: "Both sides are tense, and they may fight at any time..." After pausing, he continued: "General Xiao is on the Western Front, and he is probably worried that once they start a war, it will affect the dynamics of Linyang County, so he went to take charge in person!"

The northwest of Yan State starts from Wujun in the east and extends for nearly a thousand miles to the western line of Linyang County. The main defense is Qing State.

Han Mo stared at the map and looked for a long time before saying, "What's the situation with Shang Jing Sheng General Shang Zhongli? Can he rush to Nanyang County?"

"There is no news!" Pei Yinghou immediately said: "Now the armies of both countries are gathering in the border area. It seems that the war is about to break out, but there is no news of a war for the time being... Now the head general of the Qing army on the western front of Nanyang County is Tiger Pili Lin Chengfei, one of the three beast generals under Shang Zhongli!"

Speaking of this, Pei Yinghou had already presented a small booklet, which Han Mo took and took it carefully.

This is the general situation of Lin Chengfei investigated by the West Flower Hall.

Lin Chengfei was 32 years old at the time and was good at sword skills. He was born in a poor family. He was a hunter and joined the army at the age of nineteen. For some reason, he became a personal guard beside Shang Zhongli at the age of twenty-four.

Later, he was highly valued by Shang Zhongli, taught the method of marching and formation, and was promoted step by step. After several minor border frictions with Wei, Lin Chengfei made a lot of contributions and gradually gained his own position in the Qing State's military.

When he was twenty-nine years old, he became the general and was called "Tiger Pili" and ranked one of the "Three Beast Generals" under Shang Zhongli!

Regarding Lin Chengfei's information, it is concise and clear. The personality analysis summarized above is brave and generous, and he is willing to act irresponsible, but he has an extremely flexible military mind on the battlefield.

"Qingguo is also many famous generals!" Han Mo sighed lightly. A person who can be valued by Shang Zhongli is definitely not a simple person.

Pei Yinghou said: "It is not easy for Wei State to conquer Nanyang County!"

Han Mo nodded slightly. He was not a good player in military affairs, but he just vaguely felt that if Wei and Qing fought, Yan seemed to be able to make profits from it.

And he soon realized that Wei and Qing would not have taken action so quickly. Before that, these two countries would definitely understand the intentions of Yan. Although Yan's political storms have been storms this year, four major families have been destroyed in a row, and the entire Yan State seems to be in a state of instability, the two countries will definitely not underestimate the strength of Yan State.

Especially Qing State, where the two countries are in the double-team, if they fight with Wei State, Yan State will become the knife behind Qing State. If this knife is stabbed up, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Qing State.

"Wei State is not a day or two!" Pei Yinghou said softly: "Nanyang County is a big county, and it is also a place of fish and rice, with rich resources. For Wei State, the most lacking is food, and Nanyang County is the largest grain-producing county in Qing State. If Nanyang County can be taken over and controlled, the national strength of Wei State will definitely rise greatly, which will be of great help to their military expansion... Once Qing State loses Nanyang County, it will suffer a huge blow. Maybe Nanyang County will be lost and the morale of the Qing army will be weak. Wei State will attack the mainland of Qing in one fell swoop. By then, Qing State will suffer greater losses... So subordinates think that Qing State will save Nanyang County at all costs, and Wei State will definitely attack Nanyang County for strategic expansion. If it really starts, it will be a life-and-death battle!"

Han Mo nodded and said, "The people of Wei have always liked to fight. Their citizens have begun to receive military training since childhood. The national policy is to attack. After enduring for so many years, they have been raising their energy... Since they go to fight this time, they will punch a heavy blow, but they don't know if Qingguo can resist it!"

Wei State had Sima Qingtian, Qing State had Shang Zhongli. Although Wei State had the most martial spirit and had a strong army, there was still a huge gap between the national strength and Qing State.

The outcome of a war is something that no one can predict. The beginning of any war is a big adventure.

If Wei wants to win, it must conquer Nanyang County as quickly as possible and quickly complete control of Nanyang County. It must not fight a protracted war. Once the war is stalemate, the strength of Qing State's national strength will be revealed, and Wei State will definitely be dragged to death.

Moreover, both sides should be wary of the unpredictable factors that can change the situation of the war at any time when both sides release it.

This war seems to be changing dramatically, but if it really starts, it is afraid that it will not be as fast as imagined.

Han Mo stood up, walked to the window, looked at the beautiful scenery on the lake, was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Please pay attention to the movements over there at any time, for a while... I shouldn't be able to fight!"

...

When Han Mo arrived at the underground torture room of Dexi Flower Hall, Li Gu and Hongxiu were waiting inside. They knew that the director would come to ask about some things, and they were also ready.

In the underground torture room, a dull-looking prisoner was tied to an iron pillar with a dull expression, but his eyes were still filled with lingering fear.

Han Mo took the way to Yichun and rested in Gushui Town. That night, a group of people were hiding among soldiers and civilians, wanting to take the opportunity to burn grain. Fortunately, Han Mo used the slogans of the military camp and one-on-one identification, so he pulled out all the nails hidden inside.

This prisoner was the last survivor among the spies, that is, Chen Cang, who once told Han Mo some things.

When Chen Cang was in Yichun, he was secretly imprisoned by Han Mo. On the eve of returning to Beijing, he handed him over to Li Gu and other officials in the West Flower Hall and secretly brought him back to Yanjing.

A chair was placed in front of Chen Cang and wiped it cleanly. Han Mo sat on it and stared at Chen Cang.

Chen Cang's dull face was still stunned when he saw Han Mo, and his eyes seemed to have stopped turning.

"But are there any useful clues?" Han Mo asked with a frown on his chair.

He himself had interrogated Chen Cang, but he didn't get many clues from Chen Cang. He only knew that Chen Cang was a death row prisoner who was rescued and was then cruelly trained for three years in the training of survival of the fittest, and then he accepted the task of lurking food burning.

In addition, Han Mo has obtained very little information.

Although he felt that Chen Cang did not seem to be telling lies, he could only give a living mouth to the West Flower Hall to play its greatest role and get some unexpected information to the greatest extent.

Li Gu replied: "We have used various methods. As the adults know, no more information has been discovered. It seems that he only knows so much!"

Han Mo was a little disappointed and frowned.

He is very concerned about one question now. Who planned the conspiracy? What kind of force is behind Chen Cang? That force seems mysterious and weird, and it is in the country of Qing Kingdom. What is the purpose of that force, and why is their purpose of burning disaster relief food?

Hongxiu suddenly said, "But... we found something from his body!"

When Han Mo heard this, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that even if a corpse was handed over to the West Flower Hall, he would find something useful.

If nothing is discovered, Han Mo will be very disappointed!

"What's the poison?" Han Mo asked, staring at Hong Xiu's cold but very pretty face.

A trace of surprise flashed through Hongxiu's eyes. Obviously she didn't expect Han Mo to guess this at once.

Han Mo naturally saw the surprise that flashed through Hongxiu's eyes and smiled and said, "Don't be surprised... Your director has never been a stupid person. Hongxiu, you are a master of poison. What you can find from his body must be related to poison... I'm just guessing it!"

Hongxiu nodded slightly: "Sir, I found the poison from his body!"
