Chapter 70: Into the City

After Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, he said, "How can I say it, my uncle's uncle, is a little persistent." ”

Sima Jiu suddenly wondered, isn't it a good thing to be persistent, why did it make Li Jiancheng and Wang Qi insomnia?

"And then?"

Wang Qi said: "Uncle is more maverick, once he makes a decision, he will persevere, whether it is right or wrong. ”

Sima Jiu smiled coldly.

"Persistence in both right and wrong...... This is persistence, and it is clearly stubbornness. ”

"Is it true that literati speak so implicitly?"

Of course, Sima Jiu just kept these words in his heart and did not say them.

"So, you're worried that you won't be able to persuade him."

Wang Qi admitted: "It's a shame to say, it's true. ”

"Along the way, Ninth Brother, you have made suggestions, and we appreciate your talent, so we want to hear your opinions."

The high hat thrown by Li Jiancheng caught Sima Jiu off guard, and he felt warm in his heart, with a feeling of comfort that he had not seen for a long time.

"It's not easy."

"Oh, what did the ninth brother say?"

Li Jiancheng immediately got up and looked at Sima Jiu, waiting for him to speak.

"We are a group of one hundred and fifty people, after arriving in Pingyao, regardless of 3721, we directly tied up Wang Fei and guarded it strictly, until the King of Han surrendered and the rebellion was quelled, even if he was persistent, what could he do?"

Sima Jiu's words made Li Jiancheng and Wang Qi speechless for a moment.

Li Jiancheng was surprised and said, "Ninth brother, your method is really ...... It's simple and crude! ”“

"Or else? Or are you still reasoning with him? Wang Fei is full of wealth, and you can reason with him, can you explain it clearly? ”

"Besides, he follows the King of Han, presumably he is surrounded by people from the King of Han, and it seems that we will not have much opportunity to reason with him."

After thinking for a moment, Li Jiancheng said, "Your kid's words are not coarse, it is true. ”

Just as Sima Jiu was secretly complacent, Wang Jue was surprised: "Wait, you just mentioned that the King of Han surrendered?" What is the meaning? ”

"This ...... This is just my speculation. ”

"What do you think, what kind of person is Yang Su, he is an invincible and invincible peerless general, and he has rarely been defeated in his life, since the imperial court sent him to lead the army to quell the rebellion, it must only be a matter of time before the rebellion is quelled."

However, this rebellion was initiated by the King of Han, and Yang Liang, the King of Han, is the current royal family, and it is impossible to be defeated in battle, but it is impossible to die in battle. After all, no one dared to slaughter the Imperial Family unless he was absolutely sure that he could obtain a pardon from His Majesty the Emperor, which, of course, was impossible. ”

"The grace of the monarch and the minister, how can it be more important than blood kinship."

Sima Jiu knew that the king of Han would surrender, and he knew it from historical records.

However, at this time, he could not tell Wang Qi and Li Jiancheng the truth.

Who would believe Sima Jiu's theory of crossing.

Therefore, Sima Jiu explained the reason why the King of Han would surrender according to his own opinion.

Wang Jue agreed: "Ninth brother, what you say is reasonable, and you also feel the same way. ”

Li Jiancheng said happily: "Since this is the case, then, we will plan the next plan according to the strategy of the ninth brother." ”

"Good!"

"It's not too early, can you go back and rest?"

"Good!"

Two days later.

A mountainside.

"General Li, there is Pingyao City in front."

Yang Wengan pointed into the distance.

"Hmm!"

Li Jiancheng looked in the direction of Yang Wengan's finger and immediately realized the importance of Pingyao City.

Pingyao City is located in the valley, built by the mountains, its east and west sides are continuous mountains, the mountains are dangerous.

If the imperial army wants to march north and merge with the state, it must capture Pingyao City, otherwise, it will only bypass Pingyao City and march north, and that is absolutely undesirable, and no one dares to march on a large scale at the risk of being cut off from the logistics channel.

In this way, Pingyao City can indeed be regarded as a strategic place leading to the state of Guanzhong.

Li Jiancheng looked at Pingyao City for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Uncle Brother, in your opinion, how should I act." ”

Wang Qi said: "Pingyao is an important military town, it must be well defended, and our department has a large number of people, so it is not appropriate for all of them to enter the city." ”

"I thought that a few people could disguise themselves as cameras in the city, and most of them hid in the mountains and forests to repair and wait."

Without waiting for Li Jiancheng to consult him, Sima Jiu agreed: "I agree." ”

"Good!"

Li Jiancheng said: "General Yang, then you will lead the team to wait in the forest." ”

"Yes!"

"Wang Qi, Sima Jiu, Feng Li, and Yuan Feng, follow me into the city."

......

An hour later.

"Uncle Brother, have you already thought of a strategy for entering the city?"

Sima Jiu was dressed in a businessman's costume and asked Wang Qi curiously.

Wang Jue's expression was indifferent, and he smiled without saying a word.

Feng Li drove a carriage full of goods and joked: "That's right, Uncle Brother has always liked to plan ahead, otherwise, when we passed by Mengxiang Town yesterday, he wouldn't have asked us to prepare this outfit." ”

"You're laughing."

At this time, Li Jiancheng pointed to the city gate and said, "I'm going to enter the city soon, can you be serious." ”

"Well, shopkeeper Li."

Sima Jiu deliberately made a flattering appearance.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "It's your skin." ”

Soon after, at the city gates.

A round-faced sergeant and a square-faced sergeant blocked Li Jiancheng and his party.

The round-faced sergeant pointed to the carriage and asked, "Stop, what's on this cart?" ”

Seeing this, Sima Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are medicinal herb merchants in Bingzhou, and the car is full of medicinal herbs. ”

When the round-faced sergeant heard this, he immediately showed a look of greed.

"Herb merchant? Now that the war is tight, and there are few merchants coming and going, what does it mean that you are waiting to enter the city at this time? ”

The square-faced sergeant chimed in: "It means that the behavior is suspicious!" ”

"The laws of the city are strict, and according to the laws, what should be done if the behavior is suspicious?"

"Of course, I have to show some evidence to prove that I am not suspicious."

Li Jiancheng said: "My lord, we are serious businessmen, and we have no illegal intentions, and I hope that my lord will be aware of it." ”

The round-faced sergeant said angrily: "Whether it is serious or not, whether it is legal or not, Lord Ben has the final say." ”

Sima Jiu saw that the two of them sang and harmonized, and immediately understood.

They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the inventory to come and go to merchants and ask for bribes.

So, Sima Jiu walked quickly to the round-faced sergeant and handed over a money bag in a concealed manner.

Sergeant Round-faced took the money bag, weighed it, and then satisfactorily instructed Sergeant Square-Faced to inspect the carriage.

After a pretended inspection, the square-faced sergeant said, "Everything is normal, there are no suspicious signs." ”

"Well, it's a serious businessman. Let's go inside! ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Soon after, Pingyao City Street.

Li Jiancheng sat in the carriage and joked to Sima Jiu: "Little Jiuzi, the shopkeeper is very satisfied with your performance just now. ”

Sima Jiu smiled wryly. "I ...... Whispering to please those doormen, I'm easy. ”

Feng Li sneered inappropriately: "This is called making money with others and eliminating disasters for yourself." ”

"Ahh Hahahaha! Yeah! ”

Sima Jiu put away his expression and said lightly: "You can laugh at it as much as you want, anyway, we are grasshoppers on the same boat, and moreover, we are grasshoppers without a foothold." ”

Li Jiancheng said mysteriously: "You don't have to worry about it. ”

"Oh, have you already arranged it?"
