Tian Yue listened to the report of the strategist Xu Shize, and couldn't help but be a little moved, at this time the military advisor Wang Yu was not in Yuancheng, and went to Dizhou to appease the people, Dizhou was Li Na's territory, and was forcibly occupied by Tian Yue, how could the people be unstable, the gentry organized a militia to violently resist taxes, Tian Yue originally wanted to send troops to suppress it, but Wang Yu persuaded him, or salute first and then soldier, Wang Yu went to Dizhou to persuade the gentry in person.

Wang Yu is not there, and Tian Yue's side is responsible for the advice of the two deputy military divisions Hu Cao and Xu Shi, Hu Cao is mainly responsible for spending money and food, far less active than Xu Shi, Tian Yue's side is basically Xu Shi is responsible for giving advice.

"Surely the Silver Ship?" Tian Yue asked.

"Lord Wang, this is a ship from Youzhou, a thousand ships, what can it transport? Soldiers, grain and grass, impossible, Hebei garrison also needs, then what else, it must be the gold and silver of Youzhou Cang, we got information from Youzhou that Youzhou Cang has 10 million taels of silver, 1.5 million taels of gold, how amazing this amount is, it is not a lie that An Lushan plundered Chang'an and Luoyang's gold and silver back then. ”

Tian Yue paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, and Xu Shi continued: "Ten million taels of silver and one and a half million taels of gold, almost five hundred ships can be transported, so there must be copper ingots in these thousand ships, Lord Wang, we need a lot of money to prepare for war!" ”

Tian Yue was finally moved, he hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that Guo Song will be angry and start a big war, how can we resist?" ”

"Lord Wang, I mean that it is not up to us to do it ourselves, we can notify the bandits to start, and then we will take the initiative to exterminate the bandits and return half to the other party, in fact, we only need to get 30%, and we can solve the big problem."

Speaking of bandits, Tian Yue suddenly thought of Li Bao, a bandit in Chishi Village in Taihang Mountain, Taihang Mountain has always been the base camp of bandits, there are many cottages of all sizes, robbing houses, robbing merchants, and then they were constantly exterminated and merged, and finally formed three famous bandits, each of whom has a backstage.

Li Gui of Hengshan Lotus Village, nicknamed Angry Eyes King Kong, and Zhang Hua of Qingfeng Village, Zanhuang Mountain, Zhaozhou, nicknamed Tuota Heavenly King, both of whom were secretly supported by Tian Yue, in order to disrupt Li Wujun and Zhu Tao's caravan.

There is also a Huagai Mountain at the junction of Xiangzhou and Weizhou, where the Chishizhai bandit Li Bao, nicknamed the Zhenyue Mountain God, was secretly supported by Zhu Jun.

Of course, Xu Shi couldn't let Tian Yue go to Li Baolai from Chishi Village to intercept the fleet, what he meant was that they could send someone to pretend to be, and then pretend to be a bandit.

Tian Yue thought that he could get a few million taels of silver, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately nodded, "Just according to the strategy of the military division!" ”

..........

At dusk, Xu Shi took a carriage to the Tongquetai Restaurant, one of the three major restaurants in Yuancheng, where Xu Shi had dinner almost every day, and he had a special room on the third floor here.

"Yo! Xu Ye is here, please go upstairs! The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face.

Xu Shi said expressionlessly: "Go to the peony room!" ”

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, this Xu Yebao's elegant room is a bamboo rhyme room, why did he go to the peony room, but the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly said: "Xu Ye, please come with me!" ”

Xu Shi went up to the third floor and directly pushed the door into the Peony Hall, which is a suite, divided into two rooms inside and outside, and there are four majestic men standing outside.

At this time, a hearty laugh came from inside the house, "Is Mr. Xu here?" ”

"Sixth Master, it's me!"

Xu Shi walked into the inner room, and there was a man in his thirties sitting in front of the big table, wearing a gold crown, wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with gold flowers, and a jade belt around his waist, and his figure was also very tall, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Tian Yue, but his eyelids were swollen, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was slightly pale.

This person is Tian Yue's cousin Tian Xu, Tian Xu is the sixth son of Tian Chenghei, and everyone calls him Tian Liulang outside.

Tian Chenghei only valued his nephew Tian Yue during his reign, Tian Yue advocated simplicity, fought bravely and bravely, although his mind was a little simple, but he was humble and admonished, respected scholars, attached importance to business, and was very pragmatic.

In contrast, he didn't value his sons, but his sons were greedy for wine and short-sighted, and they were all unsuccessful, Tian Chengsi decided that they were mediocre and incompetent, and they couldn't achieve great things, so Tian Chengsi finally let his nephew Tian Yue inherit his career.

However, Tian Yue attaches great importance to his brothers, not only treats them as if they were brothers and sisters, but basically they can meet all kinds of requirements, and several luxurious mansions in Yuancheng have been given to them, but Tian Yue's own Wei Wangfu is relatively simple.

A few months ago, Tian Xu also led 10,000 troops to capture Dizhou, but it was his wanton behavior in Dizhou, plundering people's property, and forcibly occupying Xiunu, which aroused the strong dissatisfaction of the Dizhou gentry, which caused Dizhou to violently resist taxes.

Tian Chenghe's sons are indeed more obsessed with wine and have low ability, but the youngest son Tian Xu is ambitious, in the last few years of Tian Chenghei, he and Tian Yue competed for inheritance, and finally lost to Tian Yue, but he is very good at disguise, after Tian Yue took the throne, he behaved convincingly, actively did things for Tian Yue, and gradually won Tian Yue's trust.

But in his bones, Tian Xu hated his cousin Tian Yue very much, he never admitted defeat, nor was he reconciled, he has been secretly cultivating his own power in the past few years, Xu Shize is his cronies, in fact, Xu Shize was originally his strategist, after he failed to compete for the throne, he recommended Xu Shize to Tian Yue, Tian Yue is also not suspicious, and continues to reuse Xu Shize.

If there was no Wang Yu, maybe Xu Shi would turn his allegiance to Tian Yue, but unfortunately Xu Shize's life motto was; 'There is Liang, He Shengyu', Tian Xu promised to use him as the chief strategist after taking the throne, and he regained his allegiance to the old lord.

Xu Shi walked into the room with a smile and said, "Just as the sixth master expected, King Wei has decided to intercept the fleet. ”

Tian Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Xu Shize to sit down and asked, "But disguised as Li Bao, a bandit from Chishi Village?" ”

Xu Shi stroked the rat's whiskers and said very proudly: "Of course, it's my plan." ”

Tian Xu was so excited that he paced back and forth in the room, this fleet was crossing, he was the first to get the news, he hoped to take the opportunity to make a profit, but also hoped that Tian Yue would fall into this deep pit and create an opportunity for him to seize power.

When the Jin army entered Yuanzhou before, Tian Yue led an army of 100,000 to Xiangzhou and let Tian Xu stay in Yuancheng, which was Tian Xu's best opportunity, but unfortunately Tian Yue reconciled with the Jin army and quickly withdrew to Yuancheng, so that Tian Xu could not seize this opportunity.

Therefore, Tian Xu's purpose is to do everything possible to provoke a war between the Wei and Jin families, as long as the Wei State falls into chaos, he will have a chance.

Tian Xu personally poured Xu Shize a glass of wine, and asked, "Sir, where do you think it's better for me to start?" ”

Xu Shi thought for a while and said: "With Anyang Water as the boundary, King Wei will do it after Anyang Shui, so that not only the bandit Li Bao is guilty, but also Zhu Zhu, who occupies Liyang, will not be able to get out of it. ”

"I see, when will the fleet arrive in Anyang Shui?"

"If the fleet is not delayed halfway, it should cross Anyang Water in the middle of the night tomorrow, but the sixth master can send someone to monitor the fleet."

Tian Xu took out a map and studied it on the map.

Xu Shi drank two glasses of wine, ate a few more mouthfuls of food, put down his chopsticks and said, "Sixth Master, have you considered the suggestion I made last time?" ”

Xu Shi suggested that Tian Xu defect to Zhu Zhu a month ago, and use Zhu Zhu's power to seize the throne, Tian Xu said that he would consider it for a while, and there has been no news.

Tian Xu put down the map, hesitated and said: "Zhu Zhu is also a jackal, Wu Shaocheng also took refuge in him back then, and was finally annexed by him, and the end was very miserable, I am afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past!" ”

"That's Wu Shaocheng is too stupid, Jiangnan only has 20,000 troops, or a militia group, but he is slow to capture Jiangnan, if he crosses the river earlier, Zhu Jun can destroy him? I believe that the sixth master will not repeat the mistakes of Wu Shaocheng. ”

Tian Xu pondered and said, "I'll reply to Mr. after seizing the silver ship!" ”

Xu Shi nodded, "The sixth master must make a decisive decision as soon as possible." ”
