Chapter 279 Defense Map
Only then could Lin Kunlun find out the identity of this person.
"I don't know what to call you, sir!" Lin Kunlun asked after looking at the layout of the study. When he entered the inner courtyard of the government office, he saw that they lived in an independent two-entry courtyard! Lin Kunlun had guessed that this person should have a high official position in this big watermelon, at least he had real power.
"I am Zheng Wei! I was sent by the imperial court to supervise the food and military situation at the Great Western Pass!" the middle-aged man said with some pride. You have to know that the Dakun Dynasty controls the military with civil power. For such an important pass, it is impossible not to send a military supervisor or something like that.
Lin Kunlun couldn't help but feel excited when he heard this. You know, in the Dakun Dynasty, the power of the military supervisor is very great. Even the commander-in-chief and the generals of the border counties will be cautious in front of the military supervisor. If the military supervisor does not agree, the battle plan cannot be implemented. So this person named Zheng Wei must have great power in this Daxiguan.
"It turns out to be the Imperial Envoy Zheng! I am here to pay my respects!" Lin Kunlun pretended to pay his respects, but was quickly stopped by Zheng Wei.
"Old man, you are embarrassing me! You are the benefactor of our family, how can I deserve your gift! Don't worry, I will solve the food problem for you! But now the food and grass are very tight. There are more than 1 troops in the entire Daxiguan! I can only give you 20 shi of food! I hope you can forgive me!" Zheng Wei said readily.
"Thank you! In fact, this disaster is more man-made than natural! I don't know when the government will be able to get rid of those bandits! And let us live in peace! There are so many buttons now, even if everyone wants to resume production it will be difficult!" Lin Kunlun stroked his beard and sighed.
"Don't worry, father-in-law! General Zhou has already made a complete plan. I believe he will be able to wipe out this rebel army soon! After the main rebel force is wiped out, he can easily wipe out the others!" Zheng Wei patted his chest and guaranteed.
"If it's true, that's the best! But I heard that General Zhou was defeated some time ago! Those rebels survived the siege of Governor Ye's soldiers! How many people does General Zhou have now? I'm afraid it would be difficult to wipe them out..." Lin Kunlun didn't say anything more after hearing this, indicating that he didn't believe what Zheng Wei said about being able to quickly wipe out the rebels. And what he said was public, everyone knew it!
"You may not know this, old man! The main reason why these rebels escaped in the past was that these rebels had no fixed place to live and the army could not find their location! This time it is different. General Zhou has contacted several people in the mountain strongholds! At that time, those people in the mountain strongholds will pretend to form an alliance with these rebels! Then these people will act as insiders to assist the officers and soldiers in encircling and suppressing these rebels! This time the plan can be said to be perfect! ... Okay, let's not talk about this! Don't worry, old man, I have asked people to prepare food and grass, it should be ready soon!" Zheng Wei walked out at this time. As for whether to really arrange to prepare food or to see their old mother's condition, Lin Kunlun didn't know.
Lin Kunlun used his spiritual sense to sense and make sure that there was no one else around the study. He walked gently to the side of the desk. He glanced at the books on it, wanting to see if there was any information or something. Soon he saw it. A blueprint was pressed under the book. He picked up the book, unfolded the map and couldn't help laughing. This blueprint turned out to be a ration map of military food and grass. In other words, it was a map of the military's stationing. It clearly marked how many people in each place needed how much food and grass. It was just a pity that there was no camera or something like that, otherwise I could have taken a picture directly.
Lin Kunlun could only rely on his brain to remember. He didn't need to remember the entire map, just remember the places where there were more than a thousand troops stationed. Soon he memorized the military stationing situation of the entire Daxiguan and the surrounding areas.
At this time, he heard footsteps outside and immediately put the blueprint back under the book. He stood up and walked to the window. There were several pots of orchids there. It was obvious that someone had carefully cultivated them.
Lin Kunlun quickly walked to the window, pretending to appreciate the orchids, while vigilantly observing the movements outside with his peripheral vision. His heartbeat slightly accelerated, after all, he had just checked extremely sensitive military intelligence.
The door was gently pushed open, and Zheng Wei appeared at the door. He saw Lin Kunlun leisurely admiring the orchids, and he didn't seem to doubt anything. Zheng Wei walked over with a smile and said, "Father-in-law, what do you think of these orchids? These are my mother's favorite flowers."
Lin Kunlun turned around and replied with a smile: "These orchids are indeed blooming beautifully, and this kind of orchid in the south is the most delicate. If no one can take good care of it, it will never grow so well! It can be seen that Lord Zheng is filial to your mother."
Only then did Zheng Wei tell him that his mother had regained consciousness. Although she was still unable to communicate normally, she was able to speak a few simple words.
After chatting for a while, Zheng Wei changed the subject and began to ask Lin Kunlun some questions about herbs and medical skills. Lin Kunlun answered Zheng Wei's questions one by one with his rich knowledge and experience, which made Zheng Wei admire him even more.
As time went by, Lin Kunlun found that Zheng Wei was indeed a filial son. He was very concerned about his mother's illness and helped Lin Kunlun sincerely. At the same time, Lin Kunlun also realized that Zheng Wei had outstanding military talents and confidence, and he was full of confidence in his plan to wipe out the rebels.
Before leaving, Zheng Wei thanked Lin Kunlun again and promised to prepare food as soon as possible. Lin Kunlun also took the opportunity to make some suggestions on herbal medicine procurement and patient care, and Zheng Wei agreed to all of them.
After leaving the government office, Lin Kunlun returned to the inn. He lay on the bed, thinking about today's experience, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He not only successfully obtained important military intelligence, but also established a good relationship with Zheng Wei. All this laid a solid foundation for his future actions in Daxiguan.
Lin Kunlun thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper, and simply copied the map he had seen today. He marked the locations of the troops stationed on the map, as well as the approximate number of people.
"With this defense map, we can come and go freely in these two counties!" You may be very satisfied with this harvest. The reason why he ventured into Daxiguan this time was first of all his curiosity about this big city in the world.
Daxiguan is a very important pass connecting the northwest, so there are many merchants coming and going. It is also much more prosperous than the county towns that Lin Kunlun had seen before. Secondly, he wanted to find out about the military situation. He never expected that this time would be so smooth. Not only did he enter the backyard of the government, but he also got the defense map! He directly put the map into the space. Just wait to go back with the food tomorrow. Zhengwei never thought that the food he prepared would be delivered to Lin Kunlun and his friends.
