Yang Yun operated the Immortal Building for a month and earned almost a thousand yuan.

This figure is beyond Yang Yun's imagination, but it is also reasonable, who made the iced sour plum soup and high wine an exclusive deal? In order to facilitate the arrival in Luoyang, he exchanged the copper coins for gold...... As mentioned above, silver was not used as the main currency in the market in this era, and gold was common, and there were special cabinets to exchange Kaiyuan Tongbao and cloth, and the procedures were not difficult.

In late June, the Yizhou government school side of the township tribute and the road to Luoyang were completed, in order to speed up the process, Yang Yun did not hesitate to send a generous gift to the assistant teacher, so that he could leave Chengdu at any time.

Back at the workshop, Han Qinglie came over and told him that Wang Ji had been waiting inside for a long time.

"What are you doing here?"

Yang Yun asked casually when he saw Wang Ji.

Wang Ji said with a smile: "Today, we held a bow competition, and we competed with the scholars of Yizhou official school, and the result was an easy victory. ”

"Oh."

Yang Yun smiled faintly, he was not interested in the polo that was all the rage in this era.

Wang Jidao: "I wanted to invite the masters to go with me, but I was afraid that the official school gang would not be able to afford to lose, so I invited the masters to play in the name of my classmates, then we would lose, so ...... Hey hey ......"

Yang Yun looked at Wang Ji and asked, "You came, you won't be specifically talking about this, right?" Did you do well in this bowing competition? ”

Wang Ji smiled: "Today I scored four goals in a row, and I am the top scorer of our academy team. By the way, there is another purpose for coming here this time, and that is to apologize to the masters...... I've been hiding my identity as the son of the marshal before, but you must have known about it for a long time, right? ”

Yang Yun nodded: "Hmm." ”

Wang Ji said: "Let's not mention this matter first, my father is now worrying about how to take Huiye City, and he has been convening his staff to discuss behind closed doors all day long...... The imperial court did not have a good faith in my father's efforts to take Aino Castle and consolidate the southwest frontier, and it seemed that His Majesty and the important ministers of the court knew that it was not easy to capture Aino Castle. ”

Yang Yun didn't talk, he knew that there was still a place for the king's family.

Wang Ji's eyes were hot: "My father asked at the banquet that day how to capture Huiye City, but His Holiness didn't speak, and you only said that the fire charm is difficult to use in the siege...... I know that you and His Holiness have great powers, and they must have a better strategy, but because of the situation at the time, they didn't say it, and now in private, I don't know if the master can follow him in detail? ”

Yang Yun said: "Conquering the city has nothing to do with cultivation, why do you think I have a countermeasure?" In fact, I had already explained the situation that day. ”

"Won't it?"

Wang Ji's face was full of disbelief, and his eyes were full of suspicion when he looked at Yang Yun.

Yang Yun had been to Kangding in his previous life, and knew the danger of that place, so he glanced at Wang Ji at the moment, and said: "Huiye City is surrounded by mountains and water, the city walls are high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus it is located on a plateau, the air is thin, and it is difficult for the fire charm to come in handy. ”

Wang Ji asked tentatively, "What if you can transport the fire charm into the city?" You can find someone to do the internal response, or think of other ways...... The fire charm is very powerful, and it is very powerful in the battle of Jinchuan, so it is not difficult to develop new applications if you want to study it more...... Once my Datang Heavenly Army captures Huiye City, the southwestern border of Datang will be stable, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"It's none of mine." Yang Yun still refused.

Wang Ji is anxious to make meritorious contributions in front of his father, and he has no think tank, and most of his friends are the children of the gate valve, so it is difficult to give constructive advice, and the only one who can help him is Yang Yun.

Wang Ji said: "Otherwise...... Master, you help the next to make suggestions, in the next can take the conditions as an exchange, how about it? ”

"On what terms?" Yang Yun asked.

Wang Ji couldn't answer, and was a little anxious for a while: "After all, as long as you can do it, such as money, or provide some help, as long as you ask for it, you will definitely not refuse." ”

Yang Yun couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this.

He wanted to leave Chengdu earlier, and with the current situation, it was not so easy to leave.

"If I propose to leave, Wang Yu will definitely not agree, the gunpowder I made is one of the important bases for him to capture Huiye City, before I asked Songmei to pretend to be a real person of Wuzun to take the blame for me, just help Songmei to perform in this fighting conference, Wang Yu's mind to keep people will be put on me, a cheap master."

"The problem now is, even if Wang Yu believes in Songmei's ability, he will not let me go easily, Wang Yu is narrow-minded, and even his son-in-law is not in line with his wishes, let alone me, an outsider? If he goes out to Willno City and suffers a crushing defeat, there is a high probability that he will blame me. ”

Yang Yun said: "Are you willing to exchange any conditions?" ”

Wang Ji said in surprise: "Of course, as long as you can, even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, you will not hesitate." ”

Yang Yun shook his head and said: "I want you to make a promise now, if you need help in the future, you can't refuse, and what I told you today, you can't say to outsiders that it was my idea, okay?" ”

"No problem."

Wang Ji happily agreed.

"Hmm."

Yang Yun was quite relieved about the royal family.

He knows that no matter what he says to Wang Ji now, Wang Ji will not say that this is his idea in order to show his merit in front of his father.

Yang Yun thought very clearly: "As long as Wang Yu goes out to Huiye City, I will ask Wang Ji to assist me to leave Chengdu, as long as Songmei is left, I believe that there will be no big moves on the Jiedu Embassy side, and I will be able to go to Luoyang smoothly at that time." ”

Thinking of this, Yang Yun already had a certain number in his heart, and said leisurely: "It's just a little superficial, it is an analysis made by the family teacher when I was chatting in private, and it may not be really helpful to capture Huiye City, so I should listen to it." ”

Yang Yun took the vaccination first, so that even if Wang Yu knew that Wang Ji was destined by him, he would only think that it was from Songmei's mouth.

Wang Ji said respectfully as if he had heard the famous words of Zhili: "Listen to me." ”

……

……

Wang Ji stayed here with Yang Yun for more than half an hour, until he wrote down everything Yang Yun said, and then hurriedly returned to the Jiedu Embassy to find Wang Yu.

Wang Ji was excited, and on the way home, he was still thinking: "A master is really a master, and his insight is extraordinary." ”

Back at home, Wang Yu was negotiating with Bai Qiyuan behind closed doors, and Wang Ji recklessly broke into the council hall.

"It's getting more and more unruly."

Wang Yu glanced sideways at the sweaty Wang Ji and reprimanded.

Wang Ji stepped forward a few steps, arrived at Wang Yu, and asked eagerly: "Father, are you still discussing with Mr. Bai how to attack Huiye City?" ”

Bai Qiyuan heard the confidence revealed in Wang Ji's words, his heart moved, and he asked with a smile: "The young prince also has an opinion on this?" ”

Wang Ji said: "How can a child not care about the things that the father worries about day and night? In the past few days, the child and his friends are also discussing how to calm the wild city, and I want to talk to my father, maybe it will help my father formulate military strategies? ”

Wang Yu grimaced: "What can you think of?" This is a major military affair, which involves the lives of thousands of people, and there is no room for a group of future generations to make irresponsible remarks. ”

Wang Ji hurriedly said: "Three stinkers are still worth one Zhuge Liang, why did the father easily assert that the child's plan was useless before he listened?" ”

"There is no idea left and right, the military commander may wish to listen to the young man's opinion, maybe it will be inspiring." Bai Qiyuan spoke for the king.

Wang Yu turned his head to the side and said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

Wang Ji finally got the opportunity to perform, and he was excited, and said: "That's the case, father, the friends around the child talked about Huiye City, and they all said that this city is a key pass to communicate the north and south, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Tubo people can easily cut off the connection between the north and the south of Jiannan Province when they send troops from here, and the geographical location is very critical, so that the five edicts have the confidence to make trouble." ”

Wang Yu said impatiently: "These are all common sense, don't use you to mention it." ”

Wang Ji said: "If you want to directly capture the city of Huiye will be very difficult, even if you besiege but not fight, there are many food and materials stored in the city, and you can't win in a year and a half, not to mention that the midsummer has passed, and it won't be long before the severe winter, when the heavy snow will cover the mountain, our army must retreat to the city, and the sergeants can keep warm and keep out the cold, so that they will not be defeated without a fight." ”

Wang Yu didn't care about these situations analyzed by Wang Ji at all, and the recent analysis of the people around him had made his ears calloused.

Bai Qiyuan asked with interest: "Since it is difficult to attack, what should I do?" ”

Wang Ji's tone was firm: "Before, our Datang Dynasty has always imposed a ban on buying and selling in Huiye City, blocking all trade routes, and it is difficult for caravans to go to Huiye City, otherwise they will all be dealt with." The child's thought was, why not lift the ban now and let the caravan deliver supplies? ”

Before Wang Ji finished speaking, Wang Yu was already angry: "The big war is imminent, you actually let your father lift the ban on commerce and trade and send food and materials to the enemy camp?" ”

Here, Wang Yu was angry, and Bai Qiyuan pondered, and began to think about why Wang Ji would make such an extremely ridiculous suggestion.

Wang Ji said: "Since the enemy's supplies are enough to entangle us for a year and a half, and they can't stop the Tubo people's assistance to Huiye City, why do we still have to set up a ban?" If the ban is lifted, how will the Tibetans react? Our side has just won a big victory, but the trade restrictions on Huiye City have been lifted, and the Tibetan high-level must have thought that the defenders of Huiye City have reached some kind of agreement with us! ”

"Huiye City is very far away from the Tubo King City, the news is blocked, now Tubo Zampu has just experienced the defeat of Jinchuan, and is suspicious, if we know that we not only attack Huiye City, but also open trade, we don't need to put any rumors, they will have rumors inside, as long as the Tubo army is in turmoil, we have a chance to capture Huiye City!"

Wang Ji said these words excitedly, unexpectedly, and did not get his father's approval.

Wang Yu's face was gloomy and he was indifferent to his son's words.

Wang Ji asked eagerly: "Doesn't my father think that this plan is inappropriate?" ”

Bai Qiyuan said with a smile: "The young prince's plan is indeed meritorious, but it will take a long time, and it is unknown whether the Tubo people will be in turmoil, but it will make Huiye City get material replenishment. ”

Wang Yu nodded when he heard this, and thought: "This kid heard a plan that looks good from somewhere, but he has always lacked consideration, and if he wants to capture Huiye City, he can't just care about the military and not ask the people of the court." ”

Wang Ji was hit hard, and said indignantly: "Trading with Huiye City can not only disturb the hearts of the Tubo army, but also take the opportunity to transport the fire charm to the city. The walls of Aino Castle are so high and deep that no matter how strong the fire charm is, it is difficult to apply it in the siege, but if it is transported to the city in the form of cargo entrainment, even if there are no swords in the city, it can be ignited within the time after the battle, creating chaos and creating conditions for the siege. ”

"Oh?"

The words of the king made Bai Qiyuan impressed.

When Wang Yu heard this, he also seemed to open the long-entangled knot and find the crux of the problem.

It is not easy to capture Aino Castle from the outside, and if you want to conquer it, you must cooperate with the inside.

The Tang Dynasty did ambush in Huiye City, but the number was small, and it was difficult to form an effective response after the war, but if there was gunpowder buried in the city, it could receive miraculous results.

Bai Qiyuan looked at Wang Yu with blazing eyes, and he had the intention of letting Wang Yu accept it.

I don't want Wang Yu to change color, and scolded: "After the Battle of Jinchuan, the Tubo people are more wary of the Tang Dynasty, even if the caravan can go freely, it will be subject to strict inspection, how can it easily transport the fire charm to the city?" If they want to get away with it, and they can break our plan, but they can take the opportunity to restrain some of the fire charms and help them defend the city, what should we do? ”

Wang Ji said: "If they are really discovered, we will not have a big loss, after all, they rely on the fortified city, and some of them have defensive means, and there is no shortage of fire charms." But if we don't have the courage to try, we miss the opportunity. ”

How could Bai Qiyuan not see Wang Yu's thoughts? smiled slightly, and said, "The young man doesn't have to fight anymore, this matter needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Wang Ji was anxious when he heard this: "I haven't finished my words yet, even if this plan fails, we can still ambush fire charms in the main roads around Huiye City to lure the Tubo people out of the city to fight...... Or surround the city, wait for the Tibetan reinforcements to come, and ambush them with ambushes and fire charms on the main roads......"

None of Wang's previous strategies could be recognized by Wang Yu, and what he said now was just an ordinary strategy, and Wang Yu would not accept it.

The key is not whether Wang Ji's suggestion is good or bad, but that Wang Yu doesn't want to pull down and accept his son's kindness.

"Get out! Bring the door shut! ”

Wang Yu glared at his son and said, "Think you can strategize after reading the military book for a few days?" You're still far from leading the troops. ”

"Father's ......"

Wang Ji was young and vigorous, unwilling to accept such an evaluation, and was about to ridicule him, when he suddenly saw Wang Yu glaring at him, he swallowed his words unwillingly, lowered his head and said: "Father refuses to accept it, just because I didn't say it!" Father and Mr. Bai continued to discuss, and I left first! ”

After speaking, he didn't have more courtesy, turned around and left, which made Wang Yu very angry.

After Wang Ji left, although Wang Yu's face was cold, he no longer had the same anger as before.

"Military marshal, although the young man is young, he is brave and strategic, congratulations on winning this tiger!" Bai Qiyuan smiled and complimented.

He can despise his son, but when others praise him, Wang Yu is sincerely happy, especially the chief staff member who is still very important to him.

Wang Yu said solemnly: "A yellow-haired child, what does he know?" ”

Bai Qiyuan said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, the young prince mentioned that he would use a caravan to send the fire talisman into Huiye City, although the plan was not thorough, but it was still feasible after careful planning." ”

"Oh!?"

Wang Yu asked in surprise, "Mr. Bai actually listened to him?" ”

Bai Qiyuan replied: "The biggest dilemma now is that there is a shortage of soldiers in our army, and there is a serious shortage of siege materials such as ladders...... Only this fire charm, if used well, can be worth 100,000 soldiers. ”

Wang Yu was speechless, obviously he did not approve of gunpowder as the dominant force in warfare.

Wang Yu was born in a noble family, he loved face the most in his life, and he hoped that others would praise him for his strategic planning and good command, rather than putting the main credit on those "strange and obscene skills" in his eyes.

Bai Qiyuan said again: "Now the imperial court has not replied to the capture of Huiye City, but it is rumored that His Majesty will send someone to supervise the battle, and perhaps it will arrive in Yizhou in the near future." ”

Wang Yu frowned and asked, "But who is it?" ”

Bai Qiyuan shook his head and said, "I can't be sure for the time being, but in the past, I am afraid that it must be a prince and nobleman with experience in leading troops." Li Yi, the king of Xin'an County, has just resigned from the post of deputy chief of the Hedong and Hebei marching armies, but it is very probable. ”

Wang Yu frowned: "If it is really the king of Xin'an County, it will be a little troublesome, this person has a holiday with me, if he goes to Shudi, I am afraid that there will be many restrictions on my dispatch of troops...... If the imperial court really wants to send people to supervise the war, it is better to send people with foreign surnames, which is easier to control. ”

"What about sending troops?" Bai Qiyuan asked for instructions again.

Wang Yu said: "Then make a decision as soon as possible...... First lift the commercial blockade of Huiye City, try to transport the fire charm to the city, and then bribe the Tibetan people to see if there is an opportunity. ”

……

……

Wang Ji was very depressed.

finally got a good strategy to break the enemy from Yang Yun, and thought that he could perform well in front of his father, but he was scolded by his father so bloody.

"I was dedicated to helping him break the enemy, but he was messing around with me as a child."

Wang Ji returned to the academy, had no intention of going to the school building to listen to the lectures, and sat alone in the pavilion on the side of the lotus pond.

At the end of school, Liu Yuanzhuo came over and sat down and asked, "Why is Brother Wang here alone?" But didn't have enough fun today? If that's the case, then make an appointment with the official student and try it again. ”

Wang Ji waved his hand and said, "What is it like with them?" They are not opponents. ”

Liu Yuanzhuo said with a smile: "Then compared with the bow team belonging to the Jiedu Embassy, they will go to Chang'an to participate in the competition every year, and their strength is not weak." ”

Wang Ji waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention the matter of bowing first...... Brother Liu, do you think that this time my Tang Heavenly Army will send troops to Yecheng, what are the chances of winning? ”

"Huh?"

Liu Yuanzhuo was very surprised, and said, "I don't know how to do things, so it's not good to express my opinions." ”

Wang Ji looked disappointed: "You refuse to express your opinion, don't you think that there is little chance of going on this expedition?" ”

Liu Yuanzhuo hurriedly explained: "I don't have this intention, there is a handsome man, and the horse will be successful." Oh yes, isn't there still Wuzun Zhenren and Brother Yang? They are masters of the world, the Tao is profound, and there are fire charms to help, and my Tang soldiers and horses should have a certain chance of winning. ”

Wang Ji sighed: "If before the battle of Jinchuan, the Tubo people knew nothing about the fire charm, or it might have a miraculous effect. But now that they have taken precautions, it will be difficult for them to do it again...... If it is forcibly used, it will be used by the Tibetans...... Alas, how difficult it is to do a great thing......"

Liu Yuanzhuo smiled embarrassedly: "This kind of thing can be left to the section marshal to work hard, why are you so concerned?" I believe that the marshal can coordinate all parties and be thoughtful. ”

Wang Ji got up: "No, I want to find someone to discuss, and I will definitely be able to come up with a perfect solution, and then I will understand that I am not a child, and I can stand alone." What the sixth sister can do, why can't I? ”

……

……

There weren't many people around Wang Ji who knew about military affairs.

A group of sons and brothers got together, talked about the wind and snow, and recited poems, but when it came to military affairs, they were all confused.

Wang Ji also knew that he couldn't count on his group of fox friends and dog friends, so he simply ran to the inn where Songmei was staying, tried to see Songmei, and wanted to hear Songmei's opinion.

The apprentice is already so powerful, the master must be even more clever!

Songmei has been staying at the Mid-Levels Inn these days, and she is already very anxious, but she is blocked by the son of the Jiedu family here, and she is even more anxious.

After Wang Ji left that evening, Songmei hurriedly sent a disciple to invite Yang Yun over.

"Good apprentice, that prince came early in the morning, saying that he had to see the teacher, and he sat downstairs all day, if he came again tomorrow, how should he deal with the teacher?"

Songmei was so anxious that the corners of her mouth were foaming, her sideburns and beard were not taken care of, and her appearance looked very funny, which was very different from her usual fairy temperament.

Yang Yun said: "He sits on him, what does it have to do with you?" It won't be long before the puja will be held, so you can't bear it for a few days. ”

Songmei sighed: "It's okay if he's here for the side business, but he's for the army...... How do you understand these things? He's sitting here, and I can't go anywhere! ”

Yang Yun walked to the window when he heard this, pointed to Songmei at the bottom of the mountain, and said, "Don't you see that there are so many Taoist priests guarding the road up the mountain?" What do you think they're here to do? As soon as you get out, they'll get you in trouble. ”

"Huh?"

Songmei didn't expect that she would be blocked in the inn, which would be like a prison.

Yang Yun said: "The closer you get to the puja, the more careful you have to be, and then I have to discuss with you how to stand up for the puja...... I will do my best to help you deter the people in the Daomen and the official mansion, and make Yizhou and even the entire Jiannan Province famous. ”

Songmei will be suspicious: "Apprentice, will you sincerely help the master?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Who am I not helping you?" You are now wearing the name of a family teacher, and I will help you gain fame, which is to help yourself, but at that time, many things will have to be dealt with by yourself, and you must be mentally prepared for this. ”

"Yes, yes."

Matsumei was delighted.

Originally, he wasn't sure if he would really show his face at the festival, but now Yang Yun said that he would do his best to help him, and he was full of confidence for a while.

Yang Yunxin said: "If I don't help you, how can others believe that you are a master of the Tao with great magical powers?" How can I get out? At that time, I made an excuse, saying that you asked me to go out of the city to do errands, and the government and Qingyang Palace thought that with you, the monk couldn't run the temple, but I didn't know that my golden cicada broke out of its shell and went to Luoyang. ”

Yang Yun took out the usual copper coin from his arms and threw it on the table, and Songmei's eyes immediately lit up.

"This is for your use, this thousand Wen is enough for a family of five for a year, you save some flowers, don't want to use the name of the family teacher to make money for the time being, how do you want to get you after I leave, but not now!" Yang Yun explained carefully, "You only seek fame for the time being, and the profits can be put in the future!" If the Jiedu envoy sends another gift, he will tell me that if you want to swallow it, don't blame me for turning my face. ”

Songmei sneered, "They didn't send anything. ”

"Hmm."

Yang Yun nodded, and said: "In the past few days, people from various states and counties in Jiannan Province have arrived in Chengdu one after another, I will tell you their identities and skills, you study their tricks, don't ask for everyone to be exposed, but at least be on guard, don't suffer in the fighting method." As for teaching you spells, it's too late, and when it's time to fight, I'll help you win...... Just listen to me! ”
