Chapter 21 Allegiance
Inside the tent.
Mr. Mo buried his head in the cooking. Supplementary food is extremely rare today, not mutton but beef.
Because yesterday when a cow in Tunliu happened to be grazing up the mountain, it accidentally fell down the cliff and died.
Mo Jun gave Xiong Da a share as usual, and Xiong Da was not polite about it. According to him, anyway, Mo Jun saved his life, so he just sold himself to Mo Jun.
Until eating, Xiong Da still glanced at Mo Jun's face from time to time, his eyes full of wonder and amazement, that feeling was like seeing some extremely rare animals in the zoo in Mo Jun's previous life.
Mr. Mo was not used to such attention, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Has anything happened in the army recently?"
Hearing Mo Jun's question, Xiong Da also quickly looked away, with a slightly serious expression, and said: "There is nothing wrong with Tunliu. General Meng is still rectifying the army and horses. He should plan to attack Zhao again."
"However, I heard that the army led by General Wang Jian was blocked by the State of Zhao on Yaoshan Mountain. manor."
Before Xiong Da said that he would sell himself to Mo Jun, although he said it in a tone that seemed to be joking, but in fact this was Xiong Da's true inner thoughts.
After all, although Xiong Da survived by chance, he lost a thumb. This will not only affect his future life, but also the label of "semi-disabled person" will probably be with him for the rest of his life.
Although the parents and brothers of the Xiong family are still there, they will not be reduced to the point of being old and homeless in the future. But he is a smart man, and most smart people have a common problem, that is, they are unwilling to be ordinary.
So if Xiong Da doesn’t want to have to live in a remote mountain and take a wife that only a ‘semi-disabled person’ can get, then he has to find another way out.
Fortunately, Xiong Da happened to have such an opportunity right now.
After the "new knife creating medicine", Mo Jun's future is already a flat road visible to the naked eye. Even if he does nothing in the future, this credit alone is enough to gain a lot of fame and rewards.
In this era, it is not a shame to choose a "Master" and dedicate one's loyalty.
Quite the opposite.
It is an extremely honorable thing to prove that one's vision is correct.
Although Mr. Mo’s current specific rewards have not yet come down, because the rewards will not be uniformly awarded until the war is completely over. But as long as Mo Jun speaks out at this time, he dare not say anything else, but it is definitely not a problem to gain the loyalty of diners with more than two digits.
But it is a pity that Mo Jun does not seem to have such an idea so far (in fact, the main reason is that he has been in retreat during this period of time, and the current Mo Jun really does not understand this aspect), which also disappointed many people who were secretly watching.
What's more, the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow.
By contrast.
Xiong Da, who has established a friendship with Mo Jun from the very beginning, has taken a huge advantage.
So Xiong Da seized the opportunity decisively, and expressed his meaning to Mo Jun, and Mo Jun understood, and accepted Xiong Da's surrender.
At first, Mr. Mo was really short of manpower.
Secondly, in Mo Jun's opinion, this guy Xiong Da is indeed a very talented person. Especially in terms of sniffing out information, Mo Jun still doesn't understand where this guy got so many gossip.
San Lai Xiong Da is indeed smart, and has a calm personality.
After all, when Mo Jun supported him on the battlefield, Xiong Da didn't even communicate with him for the first time, so he decisively gave up one of his fingers and played a perfect match with Mo Jun.
This is an extremely rare talent among the civilians who don't even know a single word.
······
After listening to Xiong Da's information, Mo Jun pondered slightly.
Wang Jian was unable to do anything about Zhao Guo’s reinforcements in the battle of Yaoshan, which did not surprise Mr. Mo. After all, as far as he knew, although Wang Jian was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, this battle was very special.
Because the main goal of the 100,000 army led by Wang Jian this time is to put down the rebellion of Chang'an Jun Chengyu as quickly as possible.
Therefore, in order to make a quick decision in this battle, Wang Jian's army carried all dry rations for the urgent march, and the total strength was far from reaching 100,000.
Such an army can fight surprises and bursts, but it cannot fight protracted wars.
So in the battle of Yaoshan, as long as Wang Jian could not attack the enemy in a short time, he would inevitably choose to retreat.
So this news is not surprising.
It was the information that Chang'an Jun Chengyu fled to Zhao State, which made Mo Jun think of something.
"If the time is correct, then Wang Jian failed to make a contribution, and it won't be long before the net is about to be deployed!" Mo Jun murmured in his heart.
"By the way, there is another thing. Although General Wang Jian failed to capture Zhao State this time, he took a city of Wei State on the way back." At this moment, Xiong Da suddenly thought of it. What, added another sentence.
Mr. Mo: "······"
Good guy.
Wang Jian's operation made Mo Jun speechless.
"Could this be the legendary "Everything is coming"?"
The rapid march led by Wang Jian was really powerless in the face of Zhao Guo's 100,000 troops who were ready to go and waited for work.
But if on the way back, while Wei Guo was not paying attention, there was a sudden wave of surprise attacks that didn't talk about martial arts, it was indeed very possible to capture a city in a short period of time.
"Sure enough, the **** is still old and spicy!"
······
After eating the supplementary food, Xiong Shie left the tent with the clay pot in his hand.
And Mo Jun changed into clean clothes after a simple wash and prepared to go to the central military tent. After all, if there is no Meng Ao to take care of him this month, it would be difficult for Mo Jun to have such a quiet retreat environment.
It is reasonable for others to value themselves so much, and they should go to say hello after the retreat is over.
But when Mo Jun just walked out of the camp, he saw an old man with white hair and childlike face approaching from a distance. He also knew this old man, and he was one of the most skilled doctors in the military.
"Mr. Mo, you came just in time, come with me!"
After the old man saw Mo Jun whose appearance had changed drastically, a trace of surprise and shock flashed in his eyes, but soon he became anxious again. He walked over and took Mo Jun's hand, and hurriedly walked towards the central military tent.
Seeing the old man's expression, Mo Jun also had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Old Shan, what are you?"
"Don't talk yet, follow me to the central military tent, General Meng Ao...is sick."
