Hidden Sky Light

Chapter 38: blackmail

Or, what is he afraid of?

Chen Ling's eyes turned to the booklet in his hand again...

Tan Jin can clearly wait. Although Huaicheng's geographical location is superior, it is possible to attack and retreat to defend Huaicheng. If she is really in Huaicheng, she can indeed do it once and for all, but the risk is very high.

Tan Jin has been in the battlefield for a long time, and he will not fail to understand this reason.

Tan Jin has been dormant for so long, if he is really impatient, he should be impatient long ago, and he won't wait until this time.

According to the booklet, Tan Jin's military rations were not fully prepared at all, only enough to store food for two months. Before Tanzhou garrisoned north, Tan Jin's people were still collecting military rations in private...

The army has not moved, and the food and grass go first.

Tan Jin and her stalemate for half a year were not enough, so they chose Fuyang County, Huaicheng.

Huaicheng is another granary.

The grain of the entire Fuyang County will be turned around in Huaicheng.

Tan Jin would be in such a hurry that he would take the risk of fighting against the forbidden army beside her and also capture Huaicheng, because Tan Jin needed Huaicheng's food for military ration reserves.

But what he didn't expect was that first, she was not in Huaicheng; secondly, Tan attacked Huaicheng, only to find out that because of the flood in the southeast of Fuyang County, Fan Yu had seconded a batch of food from Huaicheng, so Qu Guangtong rushed so fast at that time. When I arrived at Yucheng, I actually went to Fan Yu to watch the batch of food...

The ring was closed again.

"I asked Qu Bianying to go to rob Tan Jin's food route earlier, and I asked King Jingping to go to Dingzhou to collect food. It was originally to build momentum and make Tan Jin's garrison panic because they were afraid of insufficient food and grass."

Chen Ling put down the booklet in his hand and looked at Chu Pingyu in front of him, "But now, if Tan Jin is really short of food, and Tan Weiming makes such a fuss in Tanzhou again, the civil strife in Tanzhou has already occurred, even if Tan Jin sent One of the garrisoned troops returned to Tanzhou to quell the chaos, but the rear can no longer continue to collect food for Tan Jin safely..."

Chen Ling sighed, "It's been more than half a month since the Huaicheng Rebellion. If the news is accurate, then this battle will probably end in more than a month."

Chen Ling did not expect that the rapid changes on the battlefield were so realistic.

But Chen Ling didn't dare to be careless, "If I ask someone to check it again, I want to check it out clearly, so it's safe."

"The minister leads the order." Chu Pingyu handed over and stepped back.

Now An Yunbai and Huo Lianqu are restrained in the south of Huaicheng and west of Huaicheng respectively, and they also block Tan Jin's reinforcements; nearby city.

Chen Ling settled in Zhencheng.

It is only half a day's journey from Zhencheng to the frontline camp in Huaicheng.

Zhencheng is close to the front line, but it is stable, and any news can come and go as soon as possible.

A few days ago, Qu Bianying and Chen Xiuyuan left Zhencheng with Fan Yu, and now they should almost arrive in Dingzhou. Now in Zhencheng are following the chariots of Cao Zhidu, Chu Pingyu, and Shi Huaiyuan.

They are all people Chen Ling can trust, and he has not avoided the matter of just now.

Chu Pingyu withdrew, and the hall was about to continue discussing, but a courtier entered, "Your Majesty, General Shen's garrison Tang Wu is here, saying that General Shen has something important to present to His Majesty."

Xiao Wu, Chen Ling was surprised.

But it is true that Shen Ci is used to letting Xiao Wu send messages, because Xiao Wu is fast and flexible, and he can handle things flexibly on the way.

Chen Ling put down the book in his hand, "I'm here first today, I'm tired, so you can go down too."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Zhidu and Shi Huaiyuan handed over.

Xiao Wu has been in the garden all the time.

When there were only His Majesty and the General earlier, how could Xiao Wu be so restrained as he is now. Later, since he was with King Jingping, Xiao Wu has restrained himself. Right now it was Zhencheng, and the people who came in and out were all the important members of the court and the army, as well as the guards in purple clothes and the imperial guards.

Later, the maid stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty announces."

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. When he stepped forward, he saw Cao Zhidu and Shi Huaiyuan talking from the hall while they came out. Xiao Wu hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

When Xiao Wu entered, Chen Ling was looking at the book in his hand, and when he heard footsteps, he looked up at him, and ordered, "Go down."

The maid withdrew.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Wuxing knelt down.

Chen Ling knew that he was embarrassed. He followed Shen Ci at the border. There were military regulations in the army, but there were not so many etiquette.

"Get up, Xiao Wu." Chen Ling said warmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Wu was young and lively. At the moment, he looked up at Chen Ling with a smiling face like a child's.

It was a child who didn't grow up...

"Come forward." Chen Ling ordered.

Xiao Wu did it, "Your Majesty~"

"Tell me, what did Shen Ci ask you to tell me?" Chen Ling said softly.

Xiao Wu looked around, there was no one else in the hall, but there were still purple-clothed guards on duty. These purple-clothed guards were the guards beside Chen Ling, and they would listen to the military situation just now, and Chen Ling did not deceive them.

But seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant appearance, it must have been Shen Ci's explanation, Chen Ling suddenly realized that what Shen Ci asked Xiao Wu to carry might be really important.

Sure enough, Xiao Wu said softly, "Your Majesty, the general said, this matter can only be told to His Majesty, and when others are around, don't mention it."

Chen Ling glanced at him one more time. Although Xiao Wu was clever, Xiao Wu would not lie about what Shen Ci ordered. Chen Ling trusted him and said, "Retreat."

"Yes!" Ziyiwei, who was on duty, did so.

When Ziyiwei also withdrew, Xiaowu turned to Chen Ling, and Chen Ling said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xiao Wu whispered, "Your Majesty, it is about King Tan and Xi Rong."

Tan Jin and Xi Rong?

Hearing the names of the two eight poles that could not reach one place, Chen Ling couldn't help being stunned.

Xiao Wu continued immediately. Although his voice was low, he vividly described the Xirong affairs that General Han and General Guo mentioned at that time in a clear and detailed manner.

When all is said and done, nothing is added.

The general said, His Majesty will make a judgment.

Xiao Wu followed General Han and General Guo from the story of Yucheng until they met Harmiya in Liaocheng again...

These Xirong people who suddenly appeared were more or less related to the Ancheng Rebellion and Tan Jin, which exceeded Chen Ling's understanding of the Tan King Rebellion.

- Tan Jin can obviously wait any longer. He has been dormant for so long, and the rations are not well prepared at all, but he suddenly captures Huaicheng. What is he chasing? Or afraid of what?

The earlier thoughts came to my mind, as if a layer of fog was slowly cleared away.

Siron?

Tan Jin has a handle in the hands of the Xirong people, and this handle is deadly, making him take the risk without careful preparation, and choose the strategy of capturing Huaicheng to raise military supplies.

Tan Jin has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has never been afraid of the fierce and warlike Baal people, not necessarily these Xirong people.

He was afraid of what the Xirong people were holding...

His handle?

Chen Ling suddenly thought that only if a person's fatal handle is grasped, will he have to take the risk...

What handle will make Tan Jin subject to Xi Rong?

Chen Ling couldn't think of it.

Xiao Wu approached, "Your Majesty, the general has another word to pass to His Majesty..."

This sentence was obviously said carefully, indicating that it must not be known to others. Chen Ling looked at him and said, "Speak."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, in fact he thought it was incredible, but it was the general who told him, Xiao Wu whispered, "The general said that Xirong people are similar in appearance to Han people, but they are burly and tall, and Tan Wang is burly and tall, although Usually in the court of the center, but in Yucheng, His Majesty should have met."

Chen Ling's fingertips froze, her mind was full of that day when she was about to leave the city in Yucheng, Tan Jin rode a horse past them, and when his eyes swept over her, the coldness was actually on the back of the horse. God's natural suffocation makes people shudder...

The Xirong people are similar in appearance to the Han people, and they are burly.

Chen Ling raised his eyebrows.

Shen Ci's meaning couldn't be more clear.

Tan Jin is brave and good at fighting, and his bravery on the battlefield is different from others. Many people say that Tan Jin on the battlefield is very scary...

Chen Ling's heart was suddenly enlightened.

"Come on, call Shi Huaiyuan." Chen Ling ordered.

Xiao Wu was silent.

When Shi Huaiyuan entered, Chen Ling instructed, "Go and find out who Tan Jin's biological mother is, I don't want to put it under anyone's name, I want to know Tan Jin's origin, the sooner the better, and don't let any rumors leak out."

"Yes!" Shi Huaiyuan responded.

The news just now really shocked Chen Ling. After Shi Huaiyuan withdrew, Chen Ling was still immersed in the thoughts just now, and it became clearer and clearer in his mind.

It can almost be guessed that Tan Jin was also preparing for rebellion.

But his identity was known by the Xirong people and threatened.

Xirong people knew very well that Yan Han hated Xirong a lot. If Tan Jin was from Xirong, or if the news spread that Tan Jin had Xirong's blood on his body, Tan Jin's situation in Yan Han would take a turn for the worse.

But Tan Jin did not want to be controlled by others.

And, with the first time, there will be a second time.

The Xirong people would constantly threaten him with his identity. As long as he did it the first time, he would not be able to escape the second time, and eventually became a slave of the Xirong people.

Tan Jin is not such a person.

Tan Jin has arrogance and evil spirit in his bones.

Either, he will kill the Xirong people who threaten him, or he will stand on the summit of Yanhan's power, so that no one in the country can question it.

Either way, Tan Jin wants to both...

Just now Xiaowu mentioned that Harmiya is a tribe Shanyu, a person in a high position, even if he has ambitions, if he does not have enough chips, he will definitely not take risks and come to Yanhan.

Chen Ling was almost certain that Tan Jin had promised enough benefits and bargaining chips that he wanted to lure Harmiya to Yanhan and get rid of him together.

At the same time, I also want to pass the Huaicheng chaos once and for all.

Huaicheng is very close to Qucheng.

He led troops to capture Huaicheng, and let Tan Guangsi and Lou Chi, who had stayed at the border of Licheng and had dealt with Xirong people, go to Qucheng to 'trade' with Harmiya, that is, to mediate.

Harmia in Xiao Wu's mouth should be a person with great mind and ambition, and he is not stupid at all.

He arrived in Yanhan early, but confirmed the news near Huaicheng.

If Harmiya was smart enough to come to Yan Korea early and see Tan Jin conspiring against him, he must have guessed in his heart and kept his mind, so he did not go directly to Qucheng.

Tan Jin categorically didn't expect her to escape, and Tan Jin's wishful thinking was almost in vain.

At this time, it could not stand Harmia's threats.

Tan Jin had no choice but to send Chen Xian, who was originally a trump card in his hand, to Harmiya as a hostage, delaying Harmiya, who had become suspicious.

But unexpectedly, Chen Xian ran away!

This group of Xirong people thought that Tan Guangsi and Lou Chi were looking for Chen Xian at first.

But for Tan Jin, finding her or killing her is far more important than being thorough with these Xirong people—because treason is already a capital crime, and it doesn't matter whether his identity is exposed or not...

Xi Rong is right next to Yan Han.

This time, if she really died in Huaicheng, it is not difficult to imagine that Tan Jin would reach an agreement with Harmiya in order to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

At that time, Tan Jin will probably not be sitting alone with Yan Han, and Yan Han will be torn apart, and part of it will be merged into Xirong.

Chen Ling frowned.

"Where did these Xirong people go?" Chen Ling asked.

Xiao Wu replied, "It happened that Brother Xue found General Han and General Guo, and General Guo saw them heading towards Qucheng..."

Qucheng?

What Chen Ling wanted to understand about Harmia and Tan Jin seemed to be caught in another mystery. What was Harmia doing in Qucheng?

Suddenly, Chen Ling's fingertips were stagnant. Could it be that Tan Jin was not the only one who traded with Harmiya?

This thought shocked Chen Ling.

Xiao Wu continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, the general should set off for Qucheng. The general also said that there is something hidden in Qucheng, and he will go to see it. With General Chi and Ziyiwei here, the prince is safe. At that time, he will Send people to visit Qucheng."

Sure enough, Shen Ci also felt that there were still problems in Qucheng, so he was worried and had to go again.

The fire that Chen Xiuyuan mentioned earlier should have been done by people from Tan Jin.

But Tan Jin didn't even know it, he was as cunning as Harmiya, and he also had deals with others in Qucheng, but he borrowed his name in a grand manner, and traveled unimpeded in Fuyang County...

Xiao Wu said again, "The general has already asked General Han Guan to return to Licheng, for fear that Harmia will be in Yanhan, and it will cause turmoil at the border; he asked Brother Xue to inquire about the news of Harmiya; the general is with General Guo together. Go to Qucheng; I came here to send a message to Your Majesty, the general said, let me stay here with Your Majesty and let His Majesty send me."

Chen Ling looked at him and put away his earlier thoughts.

What she can't figure out right now, she may not be able to understand it if she thinks about it. She can only think slowly about what Xiao Wu told her.

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I forgot to tell you that Mommy Fang is with General Han and General Guo, and they have settled down in Liaocheng. Right now, they are with the Prince and General!" Xiao Wu forgot to mention, The general made a special confession to tell His Majesty, lest His Majesty be worried.

Chen Ling looked at Xiao Wu, her eyes faint.

In fact, when Shen Ci mentioned it that day, she heard that it was Mother Fang who borrowed her mouth so that Shen Ci would not have to return to Beijing in the future.

But she didn't reveal it.

Time has passed, and it doesn't make any sense to expose it again.

Mama Fang was afraid that another trouble would happen and her identity would be exposed, Mama Fang was worried about her safety.

Chen Ling looked at Xiao Wu with anticipation in his eyes, "A Nian and Shen Ci are okay?"

Xiao Wu came to Zhencheng later. Earlier, he should have been with their father and son.

As soon as Xiao Wu heard it, he resumed his earlier conversation, and the chatter box opened immediately, "That's good! Your Majesty~ General will take His Highness to read in the morning every day, and memorize that book of five..."

Little Five shook his head.

Chen Ling smiled, "Five Eyes~"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiao Wu laughed, "I recite one article every day, and I have to repeat yesterday's article, it sounds like a mouthful, the general read it to His Highness, and His Highness followed along and recited it, His Highness is really good. I have a talent for reading, I listened in the dark, and His Highness is not only catchy, but can actually recite it a few times~"

Xiao Wu is good at describing, and the scene in his mouth is vivid, Chen Ling seems to be able to see A Nian in front of him, endorsing the scene with Shen Ci.

Xiao Wu continued, "Not only the endorsement, but also the horse step, exercise physical strength, and use a small dagger. Your Highness has learned a lot. I think His Highness is much more energetic than before~"

Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Wu also liked the little prince, and he stretched out his hand and scratched his head again, sighing, "I will come to deliver a letter to His Majesty later, but with Mammy Fang and the General here, His Highness must be safe."

Chen Ling nodded slightly, and then lowered his eyebrows slightly, as if not on purpose, but asked casually, "Where's Shen Ci? Is Shen Ci's injury better?"

Xiao Wu then nodded, "The general is much better, and the medicine can be changed every two days! The wounds on the side are almost healed, and the serious wounds still need to be nurtured. Doctor Hu has to take care of them properly, it's just a matter of time. He even takes care of what the general eats every day, and with Doctor Hu, Your Majesty can rest assured."

Chen Ling looked at him and said nothing, "Okay, let's go."

Xiao Wu bowed his hands and stepped out.

Chen Lingcai looked at the straw grasshopper on the table...

As if in a daze, he stretched out his hand and poked it, and the straw grasshopper really moved, as if it had resumed bouncing back and forth.

Chen Ling sighed, it would be better to jump around.

But it's almost too soon, Shen Ci and A Nian should come to Zhencheng next month...

***

Outside Qucheng, Shen Ci and Guo Zixiao did not enter Qucheng with Chi Hongying and others.

With Chi Hongying and Ziyiwei beside Anian, he was very stable. Moreover, he just stayed in Qucheng for one night and left, and others would not find it strange.

But he and Guo Zixiao entered the city alone, unobtrusive, and planned to stay for a few days before leaving.

"Second Master." Guo Zixiao's name has changed.

Shen Ci said in a deep voice, "Go."
