In fact, there are more questions than this, but most people don’t think deeply about it.
It wasn't until everyone dispersed that Qi Desheng, who was left at the end, whispered suspiciously: "Superintendent, I always feel that this matter is still very strange. General Lin can actually collect it from Zengtou City." With this warning note, this seems unusual. Could this be a conspiracy?"
Sun Tu glanced at him and then nodded: "I have also thought about your concerns. This matter is indeed unreasonable. Logically speaking, Zengtou City should be monolithic, and this matter is extremely fatal. It is not important for the important people in it. It is impossible to know why someone would inform him and who the informer would be... "
"Exactly, so I always feel a little unreliable in my humble position. Is this a trap to lead us to Lingzhou?" Qi Desheng said solemnly.
"This is indeed very possible, but the stakes in such matters are so important that we would rather believe whether they are real or not. Otherwise, the price will be too high. However, we did not just rush in without any precautions and send out the scout battalion. That's the purpose of people going to investigate. If nothing strange is found, I won't risk the lives of my soldiers." Sun Tu actually had a plan for a long time, so he seemed to have a plan in mind.
Qi Desheng was originally worried that he underestimated the enemy and fell into other people's schemes. Seeing that Sun Tu had already considered it, he stopped talking and said immediately: "In that case, I can rest assured that I am humble. The only thing that is difficult to understand is that, If the matter is true, why did Zengtou City collude with foreigners? Is it really the Jurchen Jin people?"
"This, we can only have an answer after the incident happens." Sun Tu frowned, stood up and came to the topographic map of the entire Shandong city behind him. His eyes only kept wandering around Lingzhou, guessing those guys. Where will the target be set
￥￥￥￥￥
The answers to some things can only be understood by the person concerned, and not even the people closest to them may know.
Lingzhou, Zengtou City.
Although Zengtou City is only a small town, its area is more than twice the size of an ordinary town. High walls stand on the edge of the town, and a moat more than ten feet wide has even been dug around the city. In a sense, Zengtou City is a small city independent of Lingzhou.
If Zeng Nong had not always had close contacts with local officials, and was even about to marry the prefect Weng Changqing, the government would never have tolerated such a small town standing here. Of course, this is also in line with Zengtou City's own strength. It has something to do with it. There are already 500 young and strong soldiers here. In addition, all the five Zeng Nongzi are brave and fierce. There are also two great coaches, Shi Wengong and Su Ding, who are here. The local officers and soldiers came to attack with all their strength. Finally, I'm afraid I can only return in vain.
It can be said that Zengtou City is an extremely special force in Lingzhou, which can almost compete with the government. Therefore, they can do both black and white. Not only do they often send people out to do robbing and killing without capital business, He also bought fields and houses in Lingzhou and nearby prefectures, opened shops, and truly made money every day.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a local powerful family should indulge in sexual activities and have nothing to worry about. But the fact is absolutely not the case. At least during these days, Zeng Nong, the head of the family, was in a very bad mood. Especially when getting along with his third son Zeng Suo and fifth son Zeng Sheng, he looked even more gloomy.
At this time, he happened to be in the same room with these two sons, and the expressions of the two sons when facing their father were not as submissive as usual. Although their voices were not loud, they could not hide their suppressed emotions. Anger: "Father, son
I really can’t understand why we would do such a thing! Once the matter is exposed, they can run away, but what about our Zeng family? Such a big family can't just leave if they want. Are you trying to plunge my entire Zeng family into an abyss of eternal destruction? "
"Presumptuous, is this what you should say as a son and a father?" Seeing that Zeng Sheng's words became more and more outrageous, Zeng's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he immediately reprimanded: "I am the head of a family, the head of a clan. Now that I have made a decision, I have my own reasons!"
Seeing that his younger brother and his father were staring at each other and the atmosphere was tense, Zeng Suo, who had always been steady and strategic, hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Fifth brother, what are you looking like? How can you be so disrespectful to my father? My father is my family." Lord, since you have made a decision, there must be a reason for it. Please apologize to your father quickly!"
Zeng Sheng was most obedient to his third brother, and could be said to obey his advice. When he saw him speaking, he could only bow his head and admit his mistake. After he apologized, Zeng Suocai spoke again: "Father, in fact, the fifth brother spoke so nonsense out of concern for my entire Zeng family. You will only make your sons more uneasy if you keep hiding it from us. , what are your difficulties, can't you tell your son? I believe that with the strength of my Zeng family in the local area, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, how can I be hijacked by those people? "
Being stared at and questioned by his two sons, Zeng Nong's face was tangled for a while, but after a while, he still shook his head and said: "I can't tell you about this for the time being. You just have to do what you said before. As long as this time If it’s clean enough, there won’t be any trouble left behind.”
"But..." Zeng Suo hesitated to persuade him. This was too big. This time they were not robbing some property like in the past. Even if the government found out something, they would still have a way to deal with it. This time, they were connected with foreigners and assisted. They captured a state capital city! This is equivalent to conspiracy and rebellion. If you don't do it well, the result will be that everyone in the Zeng family will be killed!
In fact, Zeng Suo is now tired of the low-cost business that his family does. He has repeatedly persuaded his father to get out of business as soon as possible and only be a legitimate businessman from now on. However, the other brothers didn't agree, so they gave up. But I didn't expect that this time my father would go even harder and do something that would most likely destroy the family and the entire clan.
But before he could persuade him any more, the closed study door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and a big man walked in swaggeringly as if no one was around.
Seeing this strong man who was dressed the same as everyone else, but with a slender whip on the back of his head, Zeng Suo frowned and immediately reprimanded: "Although you Jurchen is an outsider, you are incomprehensible. It’s etiquette, but you should also know to ask and knock on the door before entering, right?”
Zeng Sheng glared at the opponent, clenching his fists with both hands, looking like he might pounce on him at any time.
But the other party just grinned, glanced at Zeng Nong, who looked nervous, and said in a hoarse voice: "I thought you and your son were hiding in this room and whispering something. It turned out that you wanted to change your mind behind our backs. Zeng Nong , do you want to regret it?"
Just this look from him made the Lord of Zengtou City, who had always been feared by the local people, turn pale with fright. He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, Hua Mo, don't be suspicious. Since I promised you, I will stop." There is no possibility of going back.”
"Hey, I'm sorry you don't dare." The Jurchen named Hua Mo glanced at the two brothers again. Seeing that they were still staring at him with resentment, he shook his head and said, "But Zeng, you are such a person. It’s still too much procrastination. Didn’t I tell you not to hide it from your sons? It’s important to let them know about such a big matter.
Why are you fighting so that you are willing to go all out? "
Zeng Nong was about to say something, but the other party raised his hand to stop him in a domineering manner. Then he looked at the two brothers who were about to run away at any time and said, "Don't you just wonder why your father is willing to be used by us? Since he refuses to say , then let me tell you, because he is originally from my Jurchen tribe, and everything you have now is given by our tribe!"
"What?"
"This is impossible!"
The two brothers Zeng Suo and Zeng Sheng were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they started shouting with great excitement. Although they wanted answers, they still couldn't accept such a ridiculous explanation! From the time they were sensible, they only knew that they were from the Lingzhou Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. Why did they suddenly become Jurchens
But when they looked at their father, they found that Zeng Nong's expression had changed several times, but he didn't mean to deny it at all. He obviously acquiesced to this statement.
Hua Mo chuckled: "Zeng Nong, it is not a good thing to hide this kind of thing for too long and too tightly. I have reminded you before that your sons will be useful in the future, and you should let them know that you are Who is going to fight for something, but you have been putting it off, now you know the consequences, right?”
After a pause, he looked at Zeng Suo and Zeng Suo again: "Don't think about it, how could your father quickly establish a foothold in Lingzhou when he first came to Lingzhou decades ago? Wasn't it because our clan members were secretly helping him eradicate his enemies? Or even We helped him kill many local officials and frightened others, so they acquiesced in allowing him to build a city here. This is how you have Zengtou City! So in the final analysis, what you have today is all thanks to us. Today I just asked you to make a small effort, but you dare to shirk it, do you really think that our tribe does not dare to attack you?" By the end of the words, murderous intent was pouring out.
Although Zeng Suo and the two were not afraid, Zeng Zeng became panicked and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Hua Mo, please don't be acquainted with them. Since I have agreed to this matter, there is absolutely no reason to go back on it. They just didn't know the inside story before. That’s why they had this idea, and now that they all know it, they will definitely cooperate with you sincerely and win the city as soon as possible.”
Seeing that he had said this, Hua Mo put away his intimidating aura and nodded: "That's good. But we can't wait too long. We will enter the city within half a month. You have to take care of everything." done."
"Yes, yes, I understand." Zeng nodded vigorously, not looking like a local tycoon at all. It wasn't until this man left with satisfaction that he let out a long sigh of relief and sat back as if he was relieved. Then he realized that his two sons were still staring at him...

Until now, I can't believe this is true. The basketball superstar Kobe Bryant, who has brought us countless excitement and joy, who has just retired a few years ago and is about to enter the Hall of Fame this year, actually...
As a Kobe fan for more than ten years, I am still in a daze at this moment. I always feel that this is a ridiculous dream, and I originally planned to stop updating it today. . . . .
But when I think about his Mamba mentality and how hard he has practiced for many years to win five championships and be honored, the only thing I can do as his fan is pay tribute and learn from him. . . . . .
To be honest, I have seen too many familiar and unfamiliar people leave in the past two years. The impact of the death of the pension hero last year is the same as today. But after all, he was old enough, but Kobe has just started his life. Next chapter.
My heart is confused and I don't know what I'm talking about. I stay at home on Kemi Road. . . . . .
