Chapter 1 Who is the bait?
This is the prison cell of the Qiantang County Ya, Xu You has been in and out of the county Ya many times, but he lives in the cell, but he is still a big girl on a sedan chair - the first time!
The environment of the cell is naturally not too good, dark and damp, rats and insects are rampant, there is a pile of hay on the ground to make a bed, and there is definitely no quilt, not to mention such conditions compared with the magnificence of Jingyuan, even with the small courtyard of Yixing that temporarily accommodates it.
On the first night of becoming a prisoner, Xu You did not toss and turn as many people thought, but slept very peacefully, which was really stable.
Compared to living on the streets in his previous life, here, he can shelter from the wind and rain, so he is as safe as ever!
Since Liu Yan didn't kill him at the first time, it means that he took the nonsense of 70 million yuan seriously, and this is the only bargaining chip that Xu You can rely on at the moment.
Where there are chips, there is room for mediation!
Therefore, Xu You fell asleep, and Lu Tai's flute sound caused him far more serious damage than it seemed on the surface. After a night's rest, I woke up in the morning, although my body was still tired, but at least my brain was clear.
This is very important, without force, only by virtue of wisdom can it be possible to save one's life in the presence of tigers and wolves.
Since his rebirth, even in such a difficult situation as Yixing, there is the autumn equinox to accompany him. And now, he is truly alone, trapped in the enemy camp, and may be killed at any moment.
The situation has never been so dangerous!
"Xu Langjun, the general invites you over!"
A young man appeared outside the prison door, Xu You glanced at it, feeling that this person was a little different from the thief soldier he saw last night, and slowly got up from the bed, brushing off the dust on the black uniform, the little blood stain looked like a rose blooming on a black irise, full of demagogic mystery.
"What time is it?"
"It's time for Shen, Lang Jun slept all day."
Taking advantage of the moment when this person unlocked the lock, Xu You looked at him carefully, about fifteen or sixteen years old, his face was immature, his eyes were smart, the skin on his face and hands was not as rough as that of ordinary soldiers, he was wearing a dark golden uniform, with a leather belt around his waist, trimmed and fitted, and he looked refreshed and heroic.
His attitude was restrained and respectful, completely different from Liu Yan's arrogance yesterday, Xu You knew that someone must have spoken, and said, "You are the Yellow Turban Army?" ”
"Huh?" The man was stunned, followed Xu You's gaze at the yellow scarf tied on his arm, and said with a smile: "No, we are the Heavenly Master Army, and this yellow scarf is just to identify our own people." ”
Xu You suddenly realized and said, "I thought it was the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army last night, but I didn't expect it to be Sun Tianshi's people. Speaking of which, the Xu family has believed in the Tao of Heavenly Master for generations, and we were originally a family. May I ask Lang Junzun's surname? ”
"The villain is cheap, and he doesn't dare to pollute Lang Jun's ears. Please come with me! ”
Xu You stopped at the point, he didn't plan to extract any useful information from this person's mouth, and he gave up when he saw that he didn't take the bait. Out of the cell, exposed to the rising sun, warm, comfortable and cozy, as if everything was the same.
It's just that a queue of thieves patrolled back and forth around the county office, and the bright knives and guns announced that Qiantang had completely changed the sky, Xu You sighed slightly, and followed the people through the second hall of the lobby one after another, and came to the garden where they entered last.
There is a person sitting in the pavilion in the center of the lake, looking from the back, wearing the Dharma clothes of the Heavenly Master, with a slender and straight figure, a fairy wind and bones, standing out from the crowd, it is Du Mingyu. Hearing footsteps behind him, he pointed to the futon opposite and said, "Sit!" ”
Xu You sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip first, then raised his head and drank it all, wiped off the water stains on his mouth, and praised: "Good tea!" ”
Du Mingyu poured it for Xu You again, and said: "I have never drunk tea, I don't know what is good." If Shichiro likes it, just drink more! ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!"
Xu You drank three glasses in a row, but he didn't look rude, but behaved gracefully, not as calm as a captive should be. Du Mingyu smiled and said: "I found out that Qilang was not a thing in the pool when I was in the Lonely Mountain Elegant Collection, but I didn't expect that in any case, in addition to your literary talents, you would be able to attract a group of capable people under your command, and even a little grandmaster on the fifth grade was returned...... By the way, Lu Tai is an unruly person, and he will be avenged, and if you offend him greatly, I am afraid that there will be great trouble in the future. ”
"I've had enough trouble, I don't care about this one!" Xu You sighed: "What's more, as a prisoner of sacrificial wine, there is no tomorrow today, why worry about the sky?" ”
Du Mingyu's expression was a little complicated, but the tone of his words made Xu You believe in his sincerity enough, and said: "Qilang don't worry, I don't have the slightest malice towards you, when the Qiantang matter is over, I will send you out of the city as a gift." ”
"Oh?"
Xu You was very puzzled and said, "As a sacrificial wine, naturally you don't have to lie to me." But I have offended Du Jingzhi, offended Liu Yan, and the change of Yixing, and the Xu family is even more like the sea with the Heavenly Master. If you were still scrupling about the Lord and allowed me to live in the world, now that you are the opposite, the Lord's deterrence against you is naturally impossible to mention, why don't you kill me and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots? ”
"Everyone in the world wants to live, but Shichiro only wants to die?"
Xu You said: "That's not, I'm also a mediocre person in the world, if I can live, how can I be willing to die?" But in my superficial insight, there is no reason for the sacrificial wine to spare my life. ”
Du Mingyu smiled slightly: "Qilang is humble, you were besieged by Liu Yan and his troops, and you were able to throw out a bait of 70 million yuan to let him throw a mouse bogey, this intention is no longer under Xiao Zhuge Zhu Zhi." ”
Xu You was silent, listening to Du Mingyu's tone, he didn't seem to value the 70 million money, or it was expected that he was talking about it, but in fact he didn't have so much money. If this is the case, Du Mingyu has no reason not to kill him, but is courteous, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
Seeing that Xu You was silent, Du Mingyu said, "Is Qilang full of doubts?" If there's anything you want to ask me, just ask. “
Xu You nodded and said: "There are indeed some places that I can't figure out, the sacrificial wine body is in Yangzhou, and the general affairs are deep, and in today's world, can there be signs of displacement?" ”
"The An's two generations have been operating, not to mention the peaceful and prosperous times, but at least the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no trouble."
"The sacrificial wine is insightful in the world, and the gods are wise, have you ever seen a great cause that can be achieved without troubled times?"
"I've read all the history books, but I've never heard of it."
"In this case, You really don't understand, why did the sacrificial wine choose to cause trouble in Yangzhou at this time? "
Xu You's words were very polite, what was the difference between what the Heavenly Master Army did last night and those bandits and pirates, burning, killing, lewd, and plundering, doing all kinds of evil, how many innocent people died tragically, and how many living people will spend the rest of their lives with fear and torture?
Du Mingyu didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Trouble? That's a good word! Although Qilang was deprived of his nationality and became a Qi people, he still spoke to the Shi clan in his bones. The first to bear the brunt of the soldiers are those who control the land, money and power, for them, the danger of the war is naturally a disaster! ”
He poured another cup of tea for Xu You and said, "But for the Taoists of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Masters, only by doing so can they divide the land, equal the rich and the poor, and pay taxes in a thin manner, so that all living beings can 'transform heaven and earth equally, and respect and humility are the same', and from then on, there will be no distinction between nobles and nobles...... In fact, where in the world are born noble, but the nobles have the power and money and soldiers in their hands, so they are high up, serving all living beings like cattle and horses, not having soldiers, not rebelling, are they waiting for the nobles to give alms voluntarily? ”
"Even if the clan gate lord is to blame, what about the common people who died under the sword of the chaotic soldiers last night? The sacrificial wine wanted to make all beings equal, but it gave so many people's lives first......"
"If it becomes a big thing, how can there be an immortal!" Du Mingyu said lightly: "Those who are willing to follow me and wait for the trouble, all of them hang their heads on their belts, and they are not allowed to loot in the city for one night, how to serve the public?" How to calm the morale of the army? ”
"I'm just afraid that the sacrificial wine will win the hearts of the army and lose the popularity of the people, and as soon as the army of the Governor's Mansion arrives, Qiantang City will change hands again!"
"The former Yangzhou assassin Shi Liuquan was also the governor of Yangzhou's military, and almost all the munitions and armor allocated by the imperial court were used to support his Moyundu. When Liu Quan went to the throne, more than half of the three thousand most elite Moyun became the private troops of the Liu family, and a small number of them were scattered into the military governments of various states to hold military positions of different sizes, and the remaining troops of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion were about 15,000 people, and the few 3,000 people had not yet had time to make up the number of troops. These fifteen thousand are scattered in three places, the road is far away, it is not easy to integrate, and the upper and lower levels are greedy for ink, the military discipline is lax, the training is negligent, the weapons and armor are also insufficient, and from time to time they are also deducted, not to mention going into battle to kill the enemy, even if they go up the mountain to catch bandits, they dare not say that they will win. ”
Du Mingyu knew himself and knew the enemy, and he didn't put the Yangzhou soldiers in his eyes, and said: "In addition, Yangzhou has been uneasy in the past year because of the turmoil in the relocation of the state, people are floating in things, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the soldiers do not know the soldiers, and wait for the news of Yangzhou's troops to Jinling, and then hand it over to the Taiwan Pavilion for discussion, and the emperor ordered the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion to send troops, which has been more than half a month earlier." In this month and a half, the eight counties south of Wu County will be completely under our hands, and hundreds of thousands of people will be under control, which is enough to train 50,000 elite soldiers. ”
"Qilang, with the money, food, and grass of the Shi clan as the foundation, these 50,000 elite soldiers as the courage, and hundreds of thousands of Taoist people as the backing, no matter who wants Qiantang City, I will let him die under the city wall!"
Although the previous master of Xu You's body was a martial artist, he was nurtured and cultivated by the family since he was a child, and he was not ignorant of the art of war. When the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion is frustrated, the Lord must send the Chinese army to quell the chaos. The Chinese army has six armies, three generals, and five captains, all of whom are brave men in a hundred battles. ”
Du Mingyu smiled and said nothing, Xu You frowned, his heart beat suddenly, and he smiled bitterly after a while: "It turns out that the sacrificial wine made such a big move in Yangzhou just to lure the Chinese army to leave Jinling!" ”
