Chapter 1,218 Chaos and Complexity(1/2)
"Ah this..." The corners of Mo Ya's mouth twitched slightly, but he failed to respond to Gu Xun immediately.
Although the boss's request was a bit confusing and confusing, Mo Ya understood the essence of Gu Xun's words immediately.
Obviously, my boss is discriminating against members of a vulnerable group.
However, Mo Ya felt speechless because his boss actually gave such a solemn order such a... nonsensical request. He himself understood Gu Xun's arrangement.
Don't get me wrong, Mo Ya has not seen Gongsun Linglong's face with his own eyes, it's just that the quicksand has information about the next head of the famous family.
Among them, the intelligence personnel repeatedly emphasized Gongsun Linglong's admirable appearance and the other party's narcissistic complex without the slightest bit of arrogance.
That such irrelevant information as beauty and ugliness can be emphasized repeatedly by intelligence officers undoubtedly shows the destructive power of the appearance of the famous heir.
Mo Crow is also a vulgar person, and he also likes eye-catching, same-faced skins.
Therefore, it is better to avoid this kind of eye-catching thing as much as possible. If it is really unavoidable, then let’s do it.
Thinking of this, the tone of Mo Ya, who had been secretly criticizing Gu Xun, became serious, "Sir, don't worry, my subordinates will make arrangements properly!"
Looking at Mo Ya's expression, Gu Xun knew that the other party probably knew what he was thinking, so he nodded with confidence, "Don't forget it."
Mo Ya nodded, then continued what he said before:
"That's basically all the things about Songhai City."
There is not much information about Songhai City that is really worth mentioning, but it is normal. After all, it is just a slightly more prosperous seaside city, not the center of a storm.
The mirage is a big deal, but it is meaningless to the vast majority of Jianghu people and even the anti-Qin forces - no matter how big a ship Ying Zheng builds, it has nothing to do with them, and they have no interest in going.
I'm not looking for some ridiculous overseas fairyland, and I have no interest in causing trouble for the empire on such nonsense.
Gu Xun obviously knew this and didn't care. He asked instead, "Well... what about other places?"
Mo Ya did not pause and spoke again, "There is too much other information, so I have only selected a few of the most important ones for the time being."
"First of all, it's the matter of Lingnan Baiyue."
"The 500,000-strong imperial army has basically been prepared, and the initial supply of food, grass, and weapons is sufficient, and it is ready to launch a war at any time."
"Same as the first agreed result, Guo Wei Tu Sui will be the main general and Ren Xiao will be the deputy general."
"Where's Nei Shi Teng?" Gu Xun interrupted Mo Ya.
"After secret operations, Master Nei Shiteng also joined the battle to conquer Baiyue as a partial general." Mo Ya replied.
What works for Nei Shiteng is naturally quicksand. After all, this Lingnan War is a piece of extremely delicious fat in the eyes of many people, and they all want to get a piece of oil and water.
Of course, it is not difficult to tell from Mo Ya's answer that Nei Shiteng is already considered one of theirs, or... a member of the eldest son's faction.
This legendary figure who accomplished the first act of destroying a country and rose to the rank of an important minister of the empire as a common man naturally placed great trust in the strength of the empire.
Therefore, he is not willing to completely fall into the quicksand, but he is very optimistic about the eldest son Fusu.
Neishiteng does not have a prominent family background, and does not even have a surname. Although he is famous and has outstanding abilities, his foundation in the court is still very shallow.
Unlike those deep-rooted big families, even though the battle for the throne is extremely dangerous, he is not qualified to sit on the fence and wait and see. He must choose a master he likes.
Otherwise, once there is a change of power, he is likely to be swept away by the aftermath and be knocked down again.

Therefore, he was very sensible when faced with the olive branch extended by Fusu, the acting eldest son of Liusha.
"That's enough." After hearing this answer, Gu Xun nodded with satisfaction.
The partial general, or the assistant general, is actually the deputy general. The three refer to the same meaning.
A large army generally has only one chief general, but the number of deputy generals under the chief general is not fixed. It mainly depends on demand.
One or two is never too few, three or five is never too many.
The expedition against Baiyue mobilized half a million soldiers and horses. Logically speaking, it is normal to have more than a dozen lieutenants... Maybe there are so many lieutenants this time, and Gu Xun doesn't understand.
In short, Nei Shiteng is now confirmed to be a partial general.
Of course, since Mo Ya deliberately only used the title of deputy general on Ren Xiao, it means that the actual authority of other deputy generals...or the partial generals should not be comparable to him.
But it doesn’t matter.
Neishiteng was not a serious military commander, but rather than his military exploits, it was his orderly governance of Nanyang that attracted more attention.
In fact, if he had the choice, Gu Xun would not want to find Nei Shiteng to be the one to intervene in the Lingnan matter, but he really had no choice.
In today's imperial court, there are only a few truly useful generals, and they are far from what they once were.
The most famous ones are always those old guys, but it is impossible for Ying Zheng to use them again in the Battle of Lingnan - if they give more credit to the old guys, the emperor's position should be given to them!
Among the younger people, Meng Tian is undoubtedly the most reliable, but the situation in the North is unclear and we cannot let him fall into the big mud pit in Lingnan.
In addition to him, Wang Li's military ability is also very good, but he doesn't have enough brains, and he is not close to the eldest son's faction, so he doesn't think about it.
After that...there really isn’t anything suitable anymore.
Nei Shi Teng is the most suitable.
Today’s empire is both rich in martial virtue, but not rich enough!
Gu Xun rubbed his brows, put aside his secret complaints about the imperial court, and instead told Mo Ya, "Remember to tell Nei Shiteng to focus on the appropriate access routes between the Central Plains and Lingnan. You can relax in other aspects."<
/p>
"I understand." After Mo Ya responded, he continued without batting an eyelid:
"Inside the imperial court, the preliminary plan for the expedition to Lingnan has been finalized. The troops will be divided into five groups and attack Baiyue from multiple directions at the same time."
"Attack Fujian and Yue East Ou all the way, South Vietnam two ways, and Xi Ou two ways."
Gu Xun waved his hand, signaling Mo Ya not to say anything further, "How to fight is a matter for the big shots in the court, so there is no need to talk about it."
"Yes." Mo Ya bowed his head and agreed, immediately changing the subject, "If we don't talk about the empire's affairs, there will only be one piece of news related to Lingnan."
Before Mo Ya could explain, Gu Xun took the lead and said in a quiet voice:
"Huh... It seems that Tianze still refuses to give up his wishful thinking of becoming the King of Baiyue."
Mo Ya nodded imperceptibly, "Sir, you are right."
"In response to our lobbying, Tianze chose to delay again and again, never giving a clear answer, and secretly colluding with South Vietnam and other countries."
"At the same time, he also began to clear up the quicksand's arrangements of the Minyue generation in Dongou."
At this time, Gu Xun once again chose a road and turned in, finally seeing some vendors and shops appearing at the end of the street from a distance.
Maybe it's because it's a little close to the General's Mansion, but they only do business in the second half of this street.
Seeing that he finally walked back to the street, Gu Xun's face showed joy, and he became a little less concerned about Tianze's affairs - of course, he didn't care much about it in the first place.
"I originally thought that I would try to save his life after knowing each other for many years, but I didn't expect that he insisted on being a fool..."
"Looking at how much Liusha has earned over the years, I won't argue with him anymore and withdraw all of Liusha's power."
"Well... that fleet should be handed over to the empire, otherwise they should rush it."
"My subordinate has noted it down." Mo Ya bowed slightly and responded.
Gu Xun walked a little faster and added, "Remember to ask for money, the boat is not free."
A smile that couldn't be concealed appeared on Mo Ya's lips, "This subordinate will never forget this."
In a few words, the two of them had reached the end of the street and returned to the lively streets of the seaside city... Of course, this place is a little more remote and may not be so lively.
Gu Xun didn't care, as long as there were a few people around him to keep him entertained, the focus now was to listen to Mo Ya's statement of information.
"This is the information related to Lingnan that is worth mentioning." Mo Ya took a breath and continued his work without stopping, "Finally, there are two pieces of news related to various schools of thought."
"One is the civil strife in the farmers' families."
"After the disappearance of Tian Guang, the peasant hero, the fragile balance that was barely built between Tian Santang and foreign surname Santang began to collapse in recent days."
"The internal conflicts and struggles among farmers are gradually escalating and... developing out of control."
"The most important thing is that there are rumors that the farmer Shennong Ling has appeared again."
"Haha." Gu Xun grinned twice, not caring about the ordinary people passing by him from time to time - of course he would make sure that the communication between him and Mo Ya would not be heard by others, "Snatch, after all, it's still
Those who are capable."
The infighting among farmers escalates. The driving force behind the scenes is of course the gongs in ten places and the snares in nine places. But in fact, the snare can only be regarded as a chess piece to be used, or to save face, it is a tool.
The real pusher is naturally Liusha, including the Shennong Order that was used by Luowang to divide the peasant family, and was accidentally obtained by them under Liusha's design.
"Do you think Zhao Gao will notice something is wrong?"
After Mo Ya pondered for a while, he nodded, "I'm not sure, but based on the calculations of the Zhongchefu Ling, I can probably see some disharmony."
"I think he should at least have some guesses."
"That's right. Zhao Gao has a lot on his mind. Just because Mo Ming got the Shennong Order, it's impossible for him not to be suspicious." Gu Xun nodded, more agreeing with Mo Ya's view, but he wasn't worried about it, "Okay.
Now, even if he knows, he will cooperate with us to continue this drama."
In any case, the farm family that has a close relationship with Lord Changping is an obstacle that needs to be cleared for Zhao Gao, who supports the eighteenth prince Hu Hai.
Although Lord Changping was nominally in the hands of his nephew and eldest son Fusu, this does not mean that the farm family and Fusu were in conflict.
To be continued...
