Chapter Seventy-Nine
Qinghe and Tai Lianzi repeatedly provoked and did not take advantage of the slightest, and others did not dare to make mistakes.
After Yang Yun and Songmei sat down, they attracted even more attention, and the limelight had already overshadowed Wang Yu, the host of this banquet.
The atmosphere of the banquet became very strange, and in the whisper, Wang Yu's loud voice came: "This marshal has relieved the siege of Luoyanzhou, advanced the battle line to Huiye River in one fell swoop, and then will wave his troops to capture Huiye City...... I wonder what you think? ”
It was still stormy before, and suddenly it involved military affairs.
The people who were talking to each other suddenly fell silent.
Most people do not dare to speak on such a major matter involving diplomatic relations and border defense, and if they do not make a few bad remarks at the banquet, they will face the risk of being held accountable afterwards if they make a mistake in major military affairs.
Gongsun Jian looked like a scheming man, looked around, and talked eloquently: "Huiye City guards the key passes of the plateau, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open, once it is removed, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo attack and defend the situation, and then can deter the six edicts and ensure the long-term prosperity and stability of the border of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Mr. Gongsun's words are reasonable."
There is a family head who is good friends with Gongsun Jian to come out to help.
Most smiled disdainfully.
What is the status of Huiye City between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and you Gongsun Jian said?
Now Wang Yu is asking how to break the city, what you said is equivalent to not saying it!
Wang Yu didn't ask Gongsun Jian what he meant, he knew what level he was as a strategist, and he was more exaggerated than practical, which was also the main reason why he did not declare his official position to the imperial court.
Looking around, Wang Yu asked, "What do you think?" ”
The audience was silent.
Yang Yun secretly complained: "No matter what you Wang Yu say, it is also a town, even if you ask the military policy, you should also gather the staff and generals together to open a closed-door meeting, this celebration banquet is a public occasion, and talk about how to break the wild city in public, this is for fear that the Tubo people will not know your next military plan?" Are you brain-dead or are you too confident in yourself and the Jiannan Dao family? ”
A middle-aged man in his forties suddenly stood up in the crowd, and said with a compliment: "Jieshuai is the patron saint of the people of Jiannan, with you, Huiye City can be broken overnight." ”
"That's right! The Tubo people suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Jinchuan, and at this time, the people in Huiye City must be panicked and have no fighting spirit. As long as the marshal leads the troops, he will definitely be able to succeed! ”
"The marshal can lead the troops to break the city!"
What was originally a serious matter such as discussing military aircraft suddenly turned into singing praises of virtue and slapping horses...... The rhythm changed so fast that Yang Yun almost didn't react.
Songmei moved, and was about to get up to compliment Wang Yu, but was pulled by Yang Yun.
"When you shouldn't be, it's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb and act like nothing happened." Yang Yun scolded in a low voice.
Songmei's body stiffened, sat upright, and stopped talking.
The singing of merit and virtue was still in progress, and suddenly a Taoist priest said in a loud voice: "Before, the martial arts master and apprentice of the martial arts and disciples entered the fire charm and broke the Tubo soldiers and horses. ”
Yang Yun followed the sound and saw at a glance the Taoist priest who was hiding in a dark corner and speaking.
This person had talked to Qinghe and Fa Ling Pan before the banquet, and what he said at this moment seemed to be complimenting his master and apprentice, but in fact, his intentions were sinister, and he knew that Wang Yu didn't want to mention too much of the inside story of the Tubo soldiers and horses, but he brought it up in public, which had the intention of intensifying the contradiction between his master and apprentice and Wang Yu.
Yang Yun secretly thought: "Ordinary people don't know Wang Yu's thoughts, and no one blames him for his nonsense, but this Taoist priest must have been instructed by some people to deliberately sow discord here." ”
Wang Yu's face really became very ugly, his face was dark, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire.
Wang Yu's cold gaze fell on Songmei and Yang Yun, and his voice was low: "This commander leads the army to resist the invasion of Tibet, and the fire charm does play an important role...... I don't know what Wuzun Zhenren has to say about breaking the city with a fire charm? ”
Don't talk about how to break the city, just ask how to break the city with a fire charm.
At this time, no matter how unknown people were, they also found that Wang Yu had a bad attitude and realized how acute this question was.
Songmei was stunned for a while.
Just now people came out to compliment, he might be able to insert two sentences, and now when asked how to break the city with a fire charm, he doesn't even know what a fire charm is, and casual comments can easily make people detect the fact that he is an impostor.
Yang Yun smiled and said: "The battle of Jinchuan is all about the commander's overall coordination, and the fire charm is the icing on the cake, how can you rashly attribute the merits to foreign things?" ”
"Yes, yes, it all depends on the marshal to use soldiers like gods to achieve a brilliant victory."
Many people have flexible brains and echo Yang Yun's words.
Wang Yu's face was gloomy, and he said sharply: "Ben Shuai's words, didn't Wuzun Zhenren hear them clearly?" Ben Shuai is asking, how to break the city with a fire charm! ”
Songmei's confidence just now disappeared, and his face was full of hesitation, even if he asked himself a little anxious, but on such a grand occasion, he was stared at by a group of officials and people from the family, and he couldn't even let out a fart.
Yang Yun stood up, faced everyone's gaze, and asked unceremoniously: "Wang Jiedu is so pressing, I don't know what he means?" ”
Wang Yu didn't expect that Wuzun Zhenren didn't say anything, but his apprentice stood up and questioned directly, as if he was angry.
Wang Yu, as the envoy of a town, was in the limelight at the great victory of Jinchuan, and suddenly lost face at the celebration banquet, so he naturally wanted to take out his anger at the Wuzun real master and apprentice who was in bad spirits, and his words seemed to be tricky and mean, and now he was reprimanded by Yang Yun in turn, but he didn't know how to answer.
If you turn your face on this, it will seem that he has neither bearing nor gratitude, people are kind enough to go out of the mountain to help you break the Nanban and Tubo, you think that others rob you of your credit, and if you don't agree, you will be forced to ask with tricky questions, this kind of small-bellied chicken intestine thing is what you should do with a knot?
There was a dead silence in the audience!
Most people are very worried that Wang Yu will suddenly slap the table and ask the master for his guilt, and they are even more afraid that the master and apprentice of Wuzun Zhenren have great magical powers, and once the Dao Law comes out, the world will be destroyed, and once the needle tips on both sides do it to Mai Mang, they will also suffer.
Wang Yu held back his anger and said coldly: "Ben Shuai recognizes the sincerity of Wu Zun Zhenren to go out of the mountain, and also recognizes the merits of the fire charm in the battle of Jinchuan. ”
"Since Wang Jiedu asked so, then I will answer for the tutor."
Yang Yun is neither humble nor arrogant: "The power of the fire charm lies in the fact that it is sprinkled on dry ground and ignited by fire letters, which can form a deflagration effect in a short period of time and create conditions for fire attack; Or hide in a sealed urn and light the fuse to form a violent explosion that hurts the enemy through the sputtered fragments of the urn, so the fire charm is best used for ambushes. ”
"However, Huiye City has been built by the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for many years, and the city walls are towering, and it is impossible to send fire charms into the city through cloud ladders and other means, how can it exert its maximum power?"
Many of the people present didn't know what the fire spell was, and after listening to Yang Yun's analysis, they all felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
Wang Yu said: "What do you mean...... The fire charm was used to attack Aino Castle and had no practical effect? ”
Yang Yun shook his head: "I didn't say that, I just talked about the matter." The fire charm is mainly used in field operations, not to siege the city, it has to be used to break the city, and it also needs good strategic cooperation, as long as the fire charm can be ignited in the enemy's military formation, it can play an effective role, all in Wang Jiedu and the generals' strategy...... The master and I are only responsible for making spells, and as for how to break the city, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Good! You can say that again! ”
Just when everyone was silent, for fear that Wang Yu would be in trouble, a voice came, but it was Wang Yu sitting next to him.
Wang Ji did not shy away from suspicion at all, stood up and clapped his hands and praised, for fear that others would not know that he admired Wuzun's real master and apprentice, and deliberately sang against his father.
Wang Yu glared at his son, and Wang Ji sat down honestly.
Bai Qiyuan, who had been silent, opened his mouth: "What the little Taoist chief said is true, although the power of the fire charm is great, but to defeat the enemy, it all depends on how to use it, not all battles can be broken by fire charms, only if the method is appropriate, the fire charm can produce miraculous effects." ”
Everyone nodded silently, feeling deeply reasonable.
Only Yang Yun knew that black powder could really be used to break the city.
During the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping army put black powder into a coffin, and penetrated deep into the root of the city wall through the excavated trenches. But Yang Yun didn't want to expose this secret, because the black powder was already in mass production, and no one dared to guarantee that the formula would not leak out.
Gongsun Jian said: "Jinchuan's great victory, all in the proper scheduling of the festival marshal, sent soldiers and horses to attack behind the enemy, put them to death and survive, this is the fire charm to the greatest effect." ”
"The festival marshal is really the reincarnation of Pharmacist Li, and the contemporary god of war."
"The festival is mighty."
A group of people messed up and complimented.
Although these words sounded fake, Wang Yu was very useful when he heard them.
Wang Yu no longer asked how to use the fire charm to break the city, and the matter should be revealed.
Yang Yun thought to himself: "This Wang Yu is really not a good general, if it weren't for the help of gunpowder, I'm afraid that he would return from the battle of Jinchuan, and now he still wants to break Huiye City, don't die under Huiye City." ”
……
……
The banquet continues.
Halfway through, Wang Yu excused himself from the fatigue of the journey and took Bai Qiyuan and others back to the back hall.
The rest of the time is spent on making friends with each other and introducing each other.
Yang Yun saw that the time was almost up, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, and it was likely that someone from the Daomen would come to make trouble if he stayed at the banquet, so he informed Songmei.
The two got up and took Yidan to the gate of the Jiedu Embassy.
When he arrived at the door, Yang Yun called a carriage and gave a few instructions to send the slightly drunk Songmei away.
Just as he was about to take Yidan back to his residence, Wang Ji came out of the door and greeted loudly: "Master, please stay." ”
Yang Yun turned around and said, "The family teacher just left, let's talk about it tomorrow if I have something." ”
Wang Ji smiled and said, "I'm not looking for the Venerable, but for you...... There's a little bit of something to go into the house to discuss. ”
Yang Yun couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and secretly wondered: "Could it be that Wang Yu is unwilling and is ready to find a private occasion to teach me a good lesson?" He's going to hit the pegboard! ”
Yang Yun has no fear, and with his ability, he is not afraid of Wang Yu's revenge.
Wang Ji leaned over and whispered, "Someone in the inner house is invited...... There was a lot of inconvenience during the banquet just now, this is not a banquet, it should be no problem to go to the inner courtyard to talk, right? ”
"Oh!?"
Yang Yun still didn't understand what was going on.
Wang Ji said: "Actually, someone wants to thank the masters...... We'll talk about it inside. ”
Yang Yun looked at the attitude of the king, it didn't look like he was lying, he could have excused himself, but he couldn't help his strong curiosity and wanted to see what was going on, so he asked Yidan to wait outside, and followed the king to enter the Jiedu Embassy again.
