Chapter 2: The Way to Survive
Sent Liu Yucheng away, Yun Zheng was waiting for someone, it stands to reason that he should also come, want to discuss things, this should be the last chance, when Wu Shengjun receives the military order and the military camp begins to blow the horn of the second level of alert, no one will be able to enter the camp, and the iron-faced and selfless Lang Tan will not give face to anyone.
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Yun Zheng was still sitting in his White Tiger Hall and waiting, the monkey asked the head of the house when it was time to eat, Yun Zheng raised his head and said, "Dinner is more hearty, and some guests will come." After finishing speaking, he continued to look down at the military newspaper.
When the lamp was in hand, Han Niu walked in with a man wearing a hooded cloak, and the whole person stood gloomy in the dim candlelight, Yun Zheng got up to greet him, and waved his hand to let Han Niu go down and bring up the prepared wine and food.
"Why should Brother Cao be so cautious, the conversation between you and me is not unseemly, your deliberate behavior makes people suspicious." Yun Zheng poured a cup of tea for the visitor and said with a smile.
After the person lifted his hood, he revealed his sallow face that was teased by wine, sat down in front of Yun Zheng and whispered: "I lost the battle in Dengzhou, almost even affecting my sister, I will think twice about what to do now, it doesn't matter if I am punished, if I kill my sister, I will die and I will not be redeemed." ”
Yun Zheng nodded understandingly: "The mountains of Bianliang City in Tokyo are high and deep, and the palace is the most dangerous place in the world, it is normal for Brother Cao to have such worries.
However, this time is different from the past, Nong Zhigao's soldiers are extremely strong, and he attacks everything he goes, and the safety of the splendid country of the Great Song Dynasty is threatened, and it is understandable that Niangniang is worried. ”
Cao Rong grabbed Yun Zheng's hand and said: "My sister can't sleep at night when she sees that Her Majesty is worried, she gets up four or five times a night, and every time she looks at the direction ......of Yongzhou, she has lost a lot of weight in three months, and there are gray hairs in her temples."
Yun Zheng patted Cao Rong's hand and said with emotion: "Your Majesty has always been merciful, I'm afraid it's because I'm worried about the people there, and I grieve for those scattered people, but it's not necessary." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Cao Rong hurriedly asked. Nong Zhigao's rebellion has frightened the Great Song Dynasty generals, and many local famous generals have been killed.
My family knows my own business. Only they know what the combat strength of those forbidden troops is......
"Nong Zhigao's troubles, at most as far as Pennsylvania, this is the limit of his combat power, although the Guangyuan barbarians are brave, but the number is scarce, there is a world of difference between breaking a city and occupying a city.
If Nong Zhigao breaks through a city and divides his troops to defend it, he will either not be able to reach Pennsylvania, and there will be no soldiers to fight around him, if he is like a locust crossing the border. If he didn't want to fall into the vast sea of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he could only choose to retreat and firmly control Yongzhou. Liuzhou, Hengshanzhai these places have their own countries, otherwise his end will come, and he will die without a place to be buried. ”
"All-in-one warfare? How is this possible? Cao Rong asked suspiciously.
Yun Zheng smiled: "If it was my own infighting, of course not, but don't forget, who is Nong Zhigao?" He's a barbarian. This is the congenital disadvantage brought to him by his bloodline, and it cannot be changed, the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty have always regarded themselves as the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Miao, and the land of Jiumiao is the descendant of Chiyou, this hatred has been firmly rooted in our bones, and it is not something that can be changed by Nong Zhigao casually announcing a few orders to appease the people. You only have to look at history to see that the barbarians in the north can occupy the Central Plains, and the barbarians in the south have never had such an opportunity, no matter how ferocious they are, they will fail in the end. He is a good person, and he can make an exception. ”
Although Cao Rong is a straw bag, he has read some books, and history books are compulsory subjects for the children of the family, after he thought about it carefully, he found that it was really as Yun Zheng said, whether it was the Qin and Han dynasties, or the Sui and Tang dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, the barbarians in the south have always been noisy, but it seems that they have always been a supporting role in history, whether it is the big tree general Ma Yuan Southern Expedition, or Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition, their exploits are taken from the southern barbarians,
Yun Zheng saw that the monkey had already sent the wine and food, so he invited Cao Rong to eat together, it seems that Nong Zhigao did toss Cao Rong a lot, Wu Shengjun chef made noodles He ate two big bowls in one go, then put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "Brother Yun knows that this meal is the only full meal that my little brother has eaten these days, damn Nong Zhigao made me have no mind to eat, I couldn't sleep at night and night, and there was no one around me who could give me relief ideas, so I always suffered from gains and losses."
When the ancestors of the family gave up the military power, they wanted to seek a permanent wealth for their children and grandchildren, and the Danshu iron coupon ensured that my Cao family would not be destroyed, for this bit of wealth, the hard work paid by the Cao family Brother Yun couldn't imagine at all, the younger brother studied hard back then, but the old grandmother said that reading was not good, and reading good books would bring trouble to the family, so the younger brother ......"
Yun Zheng poured a glass of wine for Cao Rong and said: "Who lives easily in this world, Brother Cao is taking his life to keep his wealth, younger brother is taking his life to earn wealth, and the official family is taking his life to keep wealth, all just to eat a mouthful of rich rice, drink a glass of rich wine, come and come, while the wealth is still there, you and my brother have another drink." ”
After Cao Rong finished drinking, he looked at Yun Zheng and stopped talking.
Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Brother Cao, don't say the request first, you can first tell me why you look at Yun Zheng so highly." ”
Cao Rong put his hands on the case and said: "The younger brother wrote a letter to the old grandmother in the capital who wrote what he saw and heard here, and the old grandmother said that the way you do things is very much like my ancestor." ”
Yun Zheng almost squirted out the beef he had just put in his mouth when he heard this, and said in shock: "That's it? ”
Cao Rong's eyes widened and said: "That's it, it's enough, I don't know what others look like, but my ancestor is a real generation of famous generals, and the name is naturally not blown out, the ancestor said that you are like my ancestor, this is already the greatest praise, if I meet someone like you, don't hurry up and hold it, what are you waiting for?" ”
Yun Zheng blinked his eyes for a while before he recovered, who is Cao Bin, the world-famous general of the Later Shu and Pingnan Tang Dynasty, who is the ancestor of the Cao Rong family, Cao Bin's wife, who is about the same age as the ancestor of the Lu family, and they are all old people who have experienced the chaotic era, and he has such praise is naturally a high evaluation.
Cao Rong said with a smile: "I have heard of things before, but I have seen it with my own eyes when you cut off the bandits in Shuzhong, and now although Shuzhong is not a road to pick up, and the night is not closed, but there are already businessmen walking alone on the road, even if this kind of person is in Tokyo, as long as he is out of the city for thirty miles, he will not be seen." ”
Yun Zheng raised his glass and said, "Drink a drink for the praise of your ancestors!" ”
Cao Rong drank it with both hands and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, the younger brother originally planned to follow you to get some benefits or something, but he was vetoed by the old ancestor, and the old man said that I would only be a burden to you if I went, and said that it is better not to have a backup like me, the little brother is very ashamed." ”
"Then why don't you mean to be ashamed at all......"
"Hahahaha...... The little brother is born with thick skin......"
The conversation between the two finally entered the category of young people's conversation from the old and sophisticated.
"Don't hide it from Brother Yun, the Cao family is not short of money, but your Yun family is lacking, look at your mansion, there are only five courtyards in total, there are no more than 100 servants, no more than 50 maids, and no one with good looks can be seen......
My family is not boasting, the posture of the maid who specializes in cutting green onions is more than the big girl in your house, this is not a joke about you, just a simple matter, the big family in Bianliang City, Tokyo, if the servant of the family is less than 800, he will be laughed at...... Kou Zhun used to use a few more candles and was criticized, and now the lighting of large households uses "Qianliming".
Oh, Brother Yun doesn't know what Qianli Ming is, that thing is boiled in merman oil, not only colorless and tasteless, but also bright and abnormally bright when lit, I heard that adding a little ambergris has an aphrodisiac effect......
I heard that the king of Wuwei County has an inner pet, and there is no light in the tent at all, and the tent is inlaid with night pearls, and I heard that the whole room turns pink at night...... Tsk, think about seeing a beautiful woman in such an environment......"
"Goo Dong" not only Yun Zheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but Cao Rong himself also swallowed saliva.
The scene described by Cao Rong, the rich and extravagant decorations of later generations are simply jokes, this is the real Fubi prince, and it is also a fair and honest Fubi prince, which is what the Great Song royal family likes to see.
"What the hell do you want to say, make it clear, I don't have time to grind my teeth with you." Yun Zheng was teased by a native turtle, and he was very unhappy in his heart, so he asked the subject directly.
Cao Rong raised his wine glass and drank it with Yun Zheng and said, "Brother, I'm showing you a way to make a fortune, if you go to the south this time, can you add a few people to your military tent?" ”
Yun Zheng frowned and said: "I understand, you plan to stuff some generals under my account, this is indeed a good thing, but the Wusheng army is different from other armies, when necessary, I, the general, will go into battle with a knife, in case there is a mistake, how do you let me explain to their families?" ”
Cao Rong laughed and said: "Brother, you really think that they will go to the south, they will hang a name under your military tent, such as the food inspector, such as the military judge, such as the staff officer, they don't go to fight, they stay in Chengdu Mansion to play, and when you triumph, they will mix into the team, and the soldiers who can go are their intimate generals, if you encounter something difficult in the local area, push it on them, and ensure that you do it properly, those generals you don't have to scruple, when you should go into battle, even if you die in battle." , that is also the Jiangmen for the imperial court, you just need to add the names of some people to your credit book.
In this way, you can not only get money, but also buy it for Jiangmen, which is a real feat, even Jiangmen will be grateful. ”
