Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Chapter 21 Allegiance

Inside the tent.

Mo Jun buried his head in the rice. Today's supplement was extremely rare. It was not mutton but beef.

Because yesterday, when a cow in Tunliu went up the mountain to graze, it accidentally fell off the cliff and died.

Mo Jun gave Xiong Da a share as usual, and Xiong Da was not polite about it. According to him, his life was saved by Mo Jun anyway, so he might as well just sell himself to Mo Jun.

Until he was eating, Xiong Da still glanced at Mr. Mo's face from time to time, his eyes full of wonder and amazement. It felt like Mr. Mo had seen some extremely rare rare animals in the zoo in his 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 Lord Mo's inquiry, Xiong Da also quickly looked away, with a slightly more serious look on his face, and said: "There is nothing going on here in Tunliu. General Meng is still reorganizing his troops, and he should be planning to attack Zhao again."

"But I heard that the army led by General Wang Jian was blocked by the State of Zhao on the Yaoshan Mountain. The two sides fought for three days, and the outcome was indifferent. Lord Chang'an took the opportunity to escape to the State of Zhao, and was also awarded manor."

Previously, Xiong Da said that he wanted to sell himself to Lord Mo. Although he said it in a seemingly joking tone, in fact, this was Xiong Da's true thoughts in his heart.

After all, although Xiong Da survived by chance before, he lost a thumb. Not only will this affect his future life, but the label of 'semi-disabled person' will probably stick with him for the rest of his life.

Although the parents and brothers of the Xiong family are all still alive, they will not be reduced to the point where they are old and helpless 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 didn't want to have to live in a remote mountainous area and get a wife that only a "semi-crippled person" could get, then he would have to find another way out.

Fortunately, Xiong Da has such an opportunity right now.

After the "new knife-created medicine" incident, Mo Jun's future is already a smooth road visible to the naked eye. Even if he does nothing in the future, this one contribution alone will be enough to gain a lot of fame and rewards.

In this era, it is not a shame to choose a 'Ming Lord' and dedicate one's loyalty.

Quite the opposite.

If it proves that one's vision is correct, that would be an extremely glorious thing.

Although the specific reward for Mr. Mo has not been announced yet, because the rewards based on merit will not be unified until the war is completely over. But as long as Mr. Mo speaks out at this time, he dare not say anything else, but it will definitely not be a problem to gain the loyalty of more than double digits of diners.

But it is a pity that Mr. Mo does not seem to have such an idea so far (in fact, it is mainly because he has been in retreat during this period, and Mr. Mo does not know much about this aspect now), which has also disappointed many people who are watching secretly.

What's more, the icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.

In contrast.

Xiong Da, who had established a friendship with Mr. Mo from the beginning, had a huge advantage.

So Xiong Da decisively seized the opportunity and expressed his intention to Mr. Mo, and Mr. Mo also understood and accepted Xiong Da's surrender.

First of all, Mo Jun is indeed short of manpower.

Secondly, in Mo Jun's opinion, Xiong Da is indeed a very talented person. Especially in terms of gathering intelligence, Mr. Mo still doesn't understand where this guy got so much gossip.

Third, Xiong Daye is indeed smart and has a calm personality.

After all, when Mo Jun supported him on the battlefield, Xiong Da didn't even communicate at the first moment, but he was able to decisively give up one of his fingers and play a perfect match with Mo Jun.

Nowadays, more than 99% of the common people do not even know a single person, but this is an extremely rare talent.

After accepting Xiong Da's allegiance, the first task assigned to him by Mr. Mo was to inquire about various intelligence in the military camp. This was also a kind of experience for him.

······

After listening to Xiong Da's information, Mo Jun pondered slightly.

The fact that Wang Jian was unable to do anything to reinforce Zhao's troops during the battle at Yaoshan did not surprise Lord Mo. After all, according to his understanding, 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 troops led by Wang Jian this time was to put down the rebellion of Jun Chengyu of Chang'an as quickly as possible.

Therefore, in order to win this battle quickly, Wang Jian's army carried only dry food for emergency march, and the total strength was far from one hundred thousand.

Such an army can carry out surprise attacks and outbreaks, but it cannot fight protracted wars.

Therefore, in the battle of Yaoshan, as long as Wang Jian could not defeat the enemy in a short period of time, he would inevitably choose to retreat.

So this news is not surprising.

However, the information that Chang'an Jun Chengyu fled to Zhao made Jun Mo think of something.

"If the time is correct, then Wang Jian failed to make a contribution, and it won't be long before the snares will 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 his way back." At this moment, Xiong Da suddenly thought of What, added another sentence.

Mr. Mo: "·······"

Good guy.

Wang Jian's operation left Mo Jun speechless.

"Is this the legendary "All comers are here"?"

The urgent march led by Wang Jian was indeed unable to cope with Zhao's 100,000 troops who were ready to go and were waiting for work.

But if on the way back, while Wei Guo is not paying attention, there is a sudden sneak attack without martial ethics, it is indeed very possible to capture a city in a short period of time.

"Sure enough, ginger is still spicy when old!"

······

After eating and replenishing his food, the bear left the camp carrying the clay pot.

After a brief wash, Mr. Mo changed into clean clothes and prepared to go to the central military tent. After all, without Meng Ao's care this month, it would be difficult for Mr. Mo to have such a quiet retreat environment.

It is reasonable for others to think so highly of themselves that they should go and say hello after the retreat.

But just when Mo Jun walked out of the camp, he saw an old man with gray hair and a childlike face walking towards him from a distance. He also knew this old man. He was one of the most skilled medical experts in the military today.

"Jun Mo, you came just in time, come with me quickly!"

When the old man saw the drastically changed Mr. Mo, a flash of surprise and shock suddenly flashed in his eyes, but soon turned into anxiety again. He came over and took Mr. Mo'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.

"Shan Lao, what are you doing?"

"Stop talking now, follow me to the central military tent quickly. General Meng Ao... is ill."
