Tianming doesn’t know much about the origin of Gong Shuqiu’s name or his specific identity, nor is he interested in knowing it. Anyway, he is familiar with this person.
"So it's that old guy..." Tianming curled his lips and said in disgust, "These bad guys are really lucky. The white-haired man in Loulan Wei Village didn't die, and this old guy is fine too."
Then he looked at Master Ban, smiled evilly and deliberately used words to stimulate him, "Hey, Mr. Ban, you boasted so much to me before, shouldn't you be unable to deal with him?"
Master Ben's face darkened, and he muttered angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I admit that Gong Shuqiu is a genius, but if he wants to fight me, the old man, he is still a little behind. The most he can do is hide in the dark and use his hands and feet, huh!"
Tianming felt that Master Ban’s words were not confident enough, so he curled his lips disapprovingly, “I hope so.”
Gai Nie interjected at this time, which was regarded as a distraction from Tianming's attempt to disrupt the situation, "Now that the Southern Expedition is imminent, Gongshu Qiu should have no time to worry about anything else, but he still participated in the anti-Qin conference. It seems that the empire's will is very determined.
."
The snow girl nodded and agreed, "That's true."
"We had long been prepared for the Gongshu family to get involved, but we didn't expect that it would be Gongshu Chou, the head of the family, who would personally take action."
Master Ban stroked his beard and continued in a relaxed tone, "No matter what the empire thinks, they must be able to enter the machine city."
"So what if the public loses a grudge?"
"They have been fighting with us for hundreds of years, and no one has ever broken into the government city."
"Don't worry."
Gai Nie lowered his eyes and did not continue speaking.
Master Ben’s self-confidence has its own reasons, but how reality develops may not be as expected.
A Gongshu Chou, or even the entire Gongshu family, is not a big enemy to the Mo family.
From the beginning to the end, Gongshujia was only a competitor of Mohism in the art of mechanism, but the art of mechanism was only a part of Mohism, but it was all of Gongshujia.
But the empire’s attitude cannot be ignored.
Moreover, Gai Nie also had a premonition in his heart that the powerful enemies that the Mo family would face next were probably not only Gongshujia and Wei Zhuang, but also... others who were not yet known.
Xue Nu and Master Ben also silently stopped talking at this time and hurried on in silence.
Both of them also know how difficult the challenges that the agency city will face next are.
However, Gai Nie and the others are guests. As the leaders of the Mohist family, they cannot badmouth their family's future situation in front of their guests.
It's not a good thing, but it's rude.
If someone wants to be a guest at your place, you invited them. The most important thing is that you don’t have to regret it now. You have to go. Then you tell them how dangerous your home will be in the future... It feels very owed!
When they return to the government city, they will naturally strengthen their defenses in private and prepare for attacks, but on the surface, especially for foreign visitors, it is better to maintain stability as much as possible.
………………
Empire, on the edge of Chenjun, on the bank of the Huaihe River.
Under the west-slanting sun, a series of tents were stationed on a plain area near the Huai River.
This military camp was the 30,000-strong army sent by the imperial court to destroy the Mohist government city.
At this time, the superiors have not given them clear instructions on the specific attack target, so they can only temporarily stay here and wait for news.
If there is an expert military expert who takes an overview of the layout of the military camp at this time, he will definitely admire it from the bottom of his heart - what a standard!
The layout of this military camp is the most standard basic entry-level layout - it is square in shape, with fortifications such as camp walls and horses on the outermost periphery, and then there are the soldier camps of the front and rear armies, as well as food and grass supplies.
In the middle is the Chinese army camp, where the commander's tent is.
Yawen Bar
Looking at it as a whole, it mainly highlights a moderate point, with no advantages and no shortcomings. The only thing worth noting is that the layout of the camps is extremely standard and neat.
This is not something that just any newbie can arrange.
So who is the leader of this 30,000-strong army?
In the commander's tent, two people sat facing each other.
A man wearing bright silver armor, with handsome features, a handsome face, and sharp eyes, looks to be in his twenties.
The other one was wearing dark clothes, his skin was slightly dull, his hair was tied into a bun and still looked messy, and his facial features were not noticeable except for a pair of eyes, which were mostly covered by fine hair on his forehead.
There are some dark circles under the eyes, as if he had stayed up too late and looked dull and dull.
If these two people are put together, if someone chooses who is the general, if you find a hundred people, at least one hundred and twenty will choose Zhong Limei.
This choice cannot be wrong. The man in silver armor is indeed a general, but he is a partial general, and the main general is the kidney-deficient young man opposite him who stayed up too late.
The specific identity of this man in silver armor is a captain in the East County of the empire, a mid-level military attaché named Zhong Limei.
There is no need to say who the kidney-deficient general opposite him is. Anyway, his name is Han Xin. He is a good friend of Zhong Limei. He was completely white before... Using the popular vocabulary of later generations, he can also be called an amateur.
This attack on the government city was led by the two of them - this result was achieved with the strong recommendation of Gu Xun.
At this time, Zhong Limei picked up the tea cup on the table in front of him, took a sip, and suggested sincerely, "As the commander of an army, you should wear armor and stomach!"
"Look at you like this, how do you behave? And it's not safe!"
Han Xin didn't take it seriously. He didn't even move his eyelids. He responded in a calm tone, as if he was suffering from kidney failure, "I am the commander-in-chief. I have no plans and no need to charge into battle. I don't need to wear a thick armor. It's very difficult to wear it now."
At ease."
"Alas!" Zhongli shook his head helplessly, "I tell you to be more serious. This is the first time for you and me to lead an army in battle."
Han Xin still didn't take it seriously. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He replied in a calm tone, "It's not necessary. It's just a formality."
"To be honest, I have no interest in this mission."
"Oh, then why are you still here?" Zhong Limei laughed angrily at his attitude and immediately asked back.
"The reward is large." Han Xin answered truthfully.
It can be said that it is very true. Zhong Limei was also speechless. After an awkward silence for a moment, he forced himself to return to the previous topic as if nothing had happened:
"Although the Jianghu forces cannot compete with the organized army, the Mohists are not ordinary Jianghu sects after all. Moreover, there are not just one or two forces participating in anti-imperial activities this time. You should be more serious."
"If a joke happens, not only will our jobs be in danger, but we will also be sorry for the National Master who recommended us."
Han Xin glanced at him and said abruptly, "I am leading the army."
"?" Zhong Limei looked confused. What is this? "So? Who brought it?"
