Chapter 1687: Da Qin is not the only one with talents
"Xiao Shenghe..."
Yelu Shenxuan chewed the name for a while and said with a smile: "Hundreds of years ago, there was an extremely talented general in the Central Plains named Xiao He. It is said that he used his troops like a god. He defeated many defeats with less and defeated them several times, which helped the people at that time.
The king who conquered the entire empire can be said to be the ultimate military commander. Do you, Xiao Shenghe, have such intention?"
Xiao Shenghe said in a deep voice: "Returning to the crown prince, our ancestors were defeated by him before. Each generation of us will select a disciple and name him Xiao Shenghe, in order to one day be able to realize the meaning of this name.
ideal."
"very good."
Yelu Shenxuan nodded. He didn't care how twisty and bizarre Xiao Shenghe's family story was, or whether he was burdened with family glory. What he wanted was a talented person with brains and ambition.
"Is there any basis for what you just said?" Yelu Shenxuan asked.
Xiao Shenghe did not dare to conceal the fabrication and immediately replied: "There is no basis, it is all the general's guess."
Yelu Shenxuan was not surprised by this answer.
A captain of ten thousand men, if he could provide real evidence, he would be the first to suspect Xiao Shenghe.
"If I assume that your guess about a mole is true, do you have the confidence to help me catch this mole?"
Hearing Yelu Shenxuan's question, Xiao Shenghe's breathing suddenly became rapid.
In the Liao Kingdom, it was impossible to achieve class crossing by herding cattle and raising horses. The only way was to join the army and win military honors.
But for ordinary nobles like Xiao Shenghe who do not have the support of big people behind them, being a captain of ten thousand people is already the limit. If you want to break through, the only way is to get the appreciation of big people.
In the Liao Kingdom, there was no bigger figure than the prince who was about to ascend the throne.
Xiao Shenghe felt that the opportunity was right in front of him. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
"very good."
Yelu Shenxuan likes this kind of temperament that he goes to work whenever he has the ability and never shows any humility.
"What do you need me to do for you? The premise is that this matter cannot be investigated in a big way, because we have no credentials, and at present, stabilizing the morale of the military is the biggest priority. We must not let the soldiers outside know that their food and grass are gone, and
It was caused by being betrayed by the mole, you should understand what I mean."
Xiao Shenghe heard this and immediately said: "The general understands that he needs a transfer order from the prince to ask me to go back to Yueyang Pass immediately. In name, this is a loss of food and grass. The prince must capture those Qin troops and let me lead them.
The team is required to carry out this mission, and I need the crown prince’s authorization so that I can control the military power at Crescent Pass when necessary.”
Yelu Shenxuan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this.
There are about 20,000 troops left behind at Crescent Pass, but most of them are disabled soldiers who are unable to participate in subsequent pursuit operations. Only 10,000 soldiers can actually fight.
Although this matter involves certain risks, in Yelu Shenxuan's opinion, it is worth it.
So his hesitation only lasted for a few breaths, and then Xiao Shenghe heard a voice that was like the sound of nature to him.
"Okay, I'll give you everything you want. I'll write the order and authorization right away... Do you plan to start at Crescent Pass?"
Xiao Shenghe replied firmly: "The prince also knows that such a group of Qin troops cannot stay outside the Crescent Pass forever, so they must cross the border and return to Qin. Their only way is to rely on internal forces to help them cross the border.
, so as long as we guard the Crescent Gate, not only can we catch them, but we can also find out the internal agents."
