Chapter 59: Second Expedition to Goguryeo
Three days later, Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.
Qin Mo had just returned and had not had time to drink a sip of tea when Deng Mao and Li Bingyun arrived upon hearing the news. The way they looked at Qin Mo were like a puppy abandoned by its owner, full of resentment.
Li Bingyun is fine.
Although we haven't met online, I have been in communication with Qin Mo offline. Many things in the studio still need to be decided by Qin Mo, the boss, and I report the latest situation in Liaodong to Qin Mo every day.
Deng Mao was in trouble.
Qin Mo had just arrived in Beijing when the emperor passed away, and there was no news from him for the next two months. If Li Bingyun hadn't reminded him, he would have thought that something had happened to Qin Mo.
The political situation was in chaos, and Liaodong needed Qin Mo to take charge, but he was not there.
As the Chief Secretary, Deng Mao was walking on thin ice, fearing that anything might go wrong. Whether it was the prefects of the Liaodong counties or the generals of the various armies, which one of them would eat vegetarian food?
Strangely enough, as soon as he saw Qin Mo, Deng Mao's anxious heart was at ease and he found his backbone again.
"So... shameless..."
Deng Mao looked down on himself a little.
"Sir, are you going to make another big move this time you come back?" Li Bingyun understood Qin Mo more and more.
"yes."
"What big move?" Deng Mao's heart, which had just been relieved, began to hang in the air again.
"Destroy Goguryeo." Qin Mo said.
“Ahem~~~”
Deng Mao is so embarrassed, it really makes people worry...
"Sir, in the current situation, is it better to keep our troops in place?" Deng Mao still wanted to fulfill his duties as Chief Secretary.
"It's okay." Qin Mo said firmly.
He is not shooting without purpose.
Firstly, even if Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he would have to cause trouble for a while, and it would not be easy for the princes to form an alliance.
There is still time.
Second, over the past winter, Goguryeo seemed somewhat unconvinced.
According to intelligence from the three secret documents, Goguryeo took advantage of the winter to recover its strength and has recently been training its troops, which shows that it is not truly submitting to the Liaodong Jiedushi Mansion.
Still dreaming of regaining lost territory.
In this case, Qin Mo might as well launch a second expedition against Goguryeo and defeat it in one fell swoop, thus completely eliminating the hidden danger and making an example of it to warn the Eastern Xianbei.
In addition, Qin Mo also had a little selfish motive.
In the past two or three months, Qin Mo was not in Liaodong, and it was inevitable that some people had other thoughts. Li Bingyun reported that Gongsun Zan had contacted his old subordinates in the army.
I don’t know what to do.
War, through a hearty war, can declare Qin Mo's strong return, but also clean up those scum that have not yet surfaced in one fell swoop.
It can also increase the army's combat experience, so why not do it?
As for the so-called warmongering, with the population and wealth of the six counties of Liaodong, Qin Mo, the governor, was already very merciful as he only supported 20,000 regular troops.
When the princes were fighting each other, a state would want to mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
And the war never stops.
"Then... sir, when are you ready to start the war?" Deng Mao knew very well that his arms were no match for his thighs.
"Early May, as soon as the winter wheat is harvested, the war will begin." Qin Mo said.
"That's good."
Deng Mao breathed a sigh of relief as there were still two months of preparation period.
…
After finishing the business, Qin Mo left Li Bingyun alone and said, "Help me look for a suitable house near Jiangnan University tomorrow."
This means using Li Bingyun as a secretary.
"You haven't even taken the college entrance examination yet, but you are so sure that you can be admitted to Jiangnan University?" Li Bingyun was speechless.
Jiangnan University is not some small institution of higher learning, it is a famous university that ranks among the top three in the country. Even though Qin Mo is from Jiangcheng and has the home advantage, it is not easy to get in.
"Is it difficult?" Qin Mo looked puzzled.
"Of course it's difficult." As a student who only got into a second-tier university, Li Bingyun was very upset. "Take Jiangcheng No. 7 Middle School for example. You have to be in the top 15 in your grade."
"oh……"
Qin Mo remained calm, "I have been ranked first in the grade for three consecutive times." He really could not learn to be low-key when it came to studying. The better his grades were, the less strict the teachers were.
“…”
Li Bingyun lost his composure again. It turns out you are a top student.
What is the most depressing thing?
I am not afraid of the top students having good grades, I am just afraid of them playing games better than you.
"You're awesome!" Li Bingyun gave a thumbs up and voted, "Tell me, how big a house do you want to rent?"
"Why rent? Can't you buy it?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
"... "
Li Bingyun almost vomited blood. He forgot that the guy in front of him was not only a top student, but also a rich man with a net worth of tens of millions.
"Buy, buy, buy. A two-bedroom or a three-bedroom?" Li Bingyun burst into tears.
Why bother?
"Do you have a villa? The kind with a basement. It doesn't matter if the location is bad." Qin Mo is not stupid after all. He knows that the housing prices in Jiangcheng are not low, and buying a villa will cost a lot of money.
Even near a university town.
Qin Mo also had his own reasons. He bought a villa not for the convenience of going to college, nor for enjoyment, nor for showing off his wealth, but for practicing the "Eight-Nine Profound Art".
In order to practice the first calamity of the Five Elements , the calamity of weapons, Qin Mo thought about it and came to the conclusion that he could only transform a special training room in reality.
In the city, only the basement of a villa meets the requirements.
In four months, Qin Mo will take the college entrance examination. By the time the practice room is renovated, it will be just in time for university to start.
Then he could move out openly.
After becoming pregnant with her second child, my mother Zhou Yuying stayed at home all day and no longer went to the barbecue restaurant to help at night. The store hired a new cashier.
Qin Mo was quite embarrassed.
"Let me help you look for it." Li Bingyun did not comment.
Although it is said on the Internet that if the first generation of entrepreneurs do not continue to start a business or invest after making money, but instead buy cars and houses, they will most likely not have much of a future.
But this is their freedom, and I can only envy them.
Isn’t it nice to live in a villa?
…
Since Qin Mo had no requirements for the location, decoration, whether it was a school district house, or whether there were medical and transportation facilities nearby, he quickly found a suitable house.
A second-hand villa in Xinghe Community, University Town.
Even so, it cost Qin Mo 12 million yuan, and he naturally did not have a mortgage.
Pay the full amount immediately.
Although Li Bingyun complained, she accompanied Qin Mo into the villa. Although it was not new, it was still magnificent and exquisitely decorated, with a high-ceilinged living room and various high-end furniture, and she couldn't help but feel envious.
I wish I could take up a bedroom.
This is of course wishful thinking.
What Qin Mo did was too secretive, and this overly large house was destined to be lived in by him alone.
How boring!
His focus was not here. He took out a set of basement design drawings and handed them to Li Bingyun . "Find a decoration company and get it done as quickly as possible. Money is not a problem."
It was the right decision to follow Li Bingyun's advice and register a studio.
Qin Moguang had a headache just thinking about the task of finding a house and decorating it. Now he didn't have to worry about it and could just hand it over to Li Bingyun. It felt so good.
Otherwise, why do we say that resources and connections are important?
"What style of decoration is this?" Li Bingyun didn't understand what was drawn on the drawing.
"The training room."
"What kind of kung fu are you practicing?" No matter how wild Li Bingyun's imagination was, it was impossible to connect it with "Honghuang".
"I'm going to learn kendo." Qin Mo said.
As China grows increasingly powerful, its own traditional cultural genes become more prominent. Since when, martial arts have gradually emerged, replacing Taekwondo and becoming one of the most popular combat sports.
Kendo halls and martial arts halls sprang up in various places.
Because of this, Li Bingyun did not have any doubts about Qin Mo's explanation. He nodded and said, "Okay, just prepare for the college entrance examination. I'll take care of the decoration."
She was really worried that Qin Mo would fail in his attempt to show off. What if he didn't pass the exam...
