Chapter Eighty-Six: Wang Zhen's Trick of Deception
Gao Pei is actually a playboy, the reason why he can hold heavy troops is actually because he has a reliable father, his father is called Gao Jie, and he is also the nominal biggest profiteer in the battle of Goryeo, Gao Jie is the half-brother of the current King of Goryeo, in fact, the mother of the King of Goryeo has given birth to a son before marrying into the palace, this person is Gao Jie.
Because the king of Goryeo only has such an elder brother as Gao Jie, he has great trust in Gao Jie, not only giving him all the military power of Pingyang City, but also giving Gao Jie's son the elite sailors of Goryeo, who is also the only team that can fight against the Beijin people.
It's a pity that the king of Goryeo never expected that in the end, Goryeo's destruction of the country was done by his brother, and since then, Gao Jie's father and son have also become traitors who have been stinking for thousands of years.
Gao Jie doesn't care, but Gao Pei cares very much, because his uncle loves him more, so he went to school with the Goryeo princess Kim Sun'er since he was a child, and it just so happened that the teacher who taught them was an authentic Ruru heir.
So in Gao Pei's mind, all of them are loyal and patriotic, benevolent, wise, courteous and filial piety, since he knew that his uncle was forced to kill by his father, Gao Pei was depressed, and wanted to make something happen, but he didn't dare, so he was willing to be a traitor, and his heart was extremely depressed.
At this time, the Tang army came to the door, Gao Pei's emotions seemed to have found a place to vent, although the Tang State was its own suzerain, but in this war between Goryeo and Beijin, the Tang State did not send a single soldier, and now Goryeo has been destroyed, but the Tang Army turned around and came to find its own trouble, which in Gao Pei's eyes, it is really a villain's behavior and cannot be forgiven.
On the other side, Li Han and Wang Zhen led 5,000 sailors to pretend to be 30,000 people, and drove towards Seoul in a mighty way, and they were about to see the walls of Seoul, and the scout ran over panting and said: "General, paperwork, it's not good, this time the Goryeo sailors poured out of the nest." β
Li Han frowned and said, "No, Gao Pei is timid and afraid, why is this suddenly ruthless?" Wang Shushu, what do you think? β
Wang Zhen replied with a smile: "General Li, you should understand this matter, there is a senior uncle in the humble position, who went to the Goryeo Imperial Palace to teach in the early years, and this Gao Pei is one of my uncle's protΓ©gΓ©s, so the humble position guesses that it should be the self-esteem of the literati who is at fault." β
"What the hell is this logic?" Li Han asked puzzled.
Wang Zhen continued to explain: "Gao Pei is timid and afraid, that is his nature, but the education he received the day after tomorrow has always reminded him that he should not be so cowardly, these are two kinds of psychology, just like when his father surrendered, the first psychology may have the upper hand, so he didn't dare to fight, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, but unfortunately, you and I came at a very bad time this time, because at this time Gao Pei is the second psychology that prevails." β
Li Han suddenly realized: "Oh, clerical, I understand, you mean that we just knocked down the knife." β
Wang Zhen nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth." β
Li Han smiled bitterly: "It's really his grandmother's bad luck, when she encounters this kind of neurosis, I don't know what to do with the paperwork?" β
"Without it, it's just delaying time."
"Ah, how do you delay the time?"
"Fetch my harp." Wang Zhen stood at the bow of the boat dressed in white and said.
Soon the two piano boys came over with a guqin, Wang Zhen knelt on the bow of the boat, tried the timbre, and then said with a smile: "Old man, I haven't touched you for a long time, don't blame me." β
Seeing Wang Zhen's appearance, several lieutenants muttered in a low voice: "Is this reliable?" β
The corners of Li Han's mouth twitched: "Try it, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor." β
Gao Pei stood at the bow of the ship in high spirits, saw the fleet of the Tang Kingdom from a distance, and just wanted to give the order to attack, he heard a melodious and pleasant, tactful, euphemistic, and undulating piano sound, Gao Pei was immediately fascinated, and sighed in his heart: "Strange, I didn't expect that there is such an elegant person in the Tang Army." β
At this time, the deputy general came to Gao Pei's side and asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, to fight or not to fight?" β
Gao Pei glared at the deputy general fiercely and said: "Ordinary people, people are playing mountains and flowing water, this is to become a confidant with Ben Shuai, at this time, it is reasonable that Ben Shuai can't do it first, come on, continue to move forward, Ben Shuai wants to have a good talk with him, it is naturally best to let them retreat without blood, if not, it is not too late to fight again." β
"The handsome man is wise, and the last general will obey orders." Regarding Gao Pei's decision, the deputy general raised his hands to agree, and the Tang army seemed to have more than 30,000 people, and he could fight with his own 50,000 old soldiers.
Gao Pei also changed into a Confucian costume and shouted in the direction of Wang Zhen: "May I ask who was playing the piano just now?" β
Wang Zhenzheng'er performed a Confucian ritual and said: "Under Wang Zhen, see Senior Brother Gao." β
"Wang Zhen, Ben Shuai hasn't heard of it, who are you?"
"Under the Fu Shi Sect, your master Wang Jiao is the uncle below." Wang Zhen replied loudly.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother Wang of Master Fu's disciple, fortunately, Ben Shuai heard that Master Fu once saw through the red dust and led his disciples to the south, I don't know why Senior Brother Wang is here?" Gao Pei asked.
Wang Zhen smiled bitterly: "I can't hide it, Wang Zhen, I violated the criminal law and was punished by His Majesty to the Northeast Water Division." β
"Wang Zhennai is a scholar leader, and it is very inappropriate for Emperor Tang to deal with it like this." Gao Pei said with a frown.
Wang Zhen replied: "Senior brother, Wang Zhencai also had this idea when he came, and later understood His Majesty's painstaking efforts, Mencius once said: Heaven will descend on the people, must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and gain what they cannot." This time is actually a process of polishing his mind for Wang Zhen, since this is the case, how can he not grasp it well? β
"Senior Brother Wang's words are wrong, my Ruru faction never believes in Mencius's nonsense, Wang Zhen has this idea, but he has gone astray." Gao Pei rebuked loudly.
Wang Zhen was happy when he heard Gao Pei's words, Wang Zhen never thought that this guy was still a believer in the primitive dogma of Confucianism, such a person is the cutest, but it is also the best to deceive.
Wang Zhen arched his hand to Gao Pei and said: "Senior brother, you and I don't have to talk about right or wrong, it is fate to be able to meet on the battlefield today, why don't you and I learn about the Luru Doctrine?" β
"Okay, this place in Goryeo is full of people from outside the country, they don't know etiquette, they don't know benevolence, I have long thought about going to Tang Kingdom to find someone to ask for advice, since I met my junior brother this time, then let's have a good debate." Gao Pei said happily.
"May I ask Senior Brother, what is benevolence?"
"Self-denial is benevolence." Gao Pei opened his mouth and replied.
Wang Zhen shook his head and said, "There is another sentence in front of me, senior brother may have forgotten." Fan Chi asked Ren. Zi said: Lover. β
"If you love someone, but if you don't love me, how can you be benevolent?" Gao Pei asked unhappily.
"Haha, Wang Zhen also had doubts about this question before, but it wasn't until he heard a passage from our princess that Wang Zhen solved his doubts."
"What did the princess of your country say?" Gao Pei respectfully asked.
"The princess once said: People live in the world only to be worthy of their hearts, if they see widows and widows lonely and have no sorrow, see women and children in trouble and do not save them, see uneven roads and do not sing, see corruption and pervert the law and merge, see the country in great trouble and do not grieve, then people are not people. For the princess's words, Wang Zhen thought it was true, this is a great benevolence. β
Gao Pei savored it carefully, then arched his hand and said: "The princess is really a strange woman, and her words also made Gao Pei suddenly enlightened, and asked Senior Brother Wang to go back and express his admiration for the princess on behalf of Gao Pei." β
"Senior brother has this intention, Wang Zhenzi will bring it."
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've talked to someone like this, it's really happy, Senior Brother Wang, let's continue." Gao Pei said with a laugh.
Wang Zhen said modestly: "Senior brother, please advise." β
"So what is courtesy?" Gao Pei asked, touching his short beard.
Wang Zhen thought for a while before he said slowly: "The etiquette is divided into varieties, and the gift of the Son of Heaven lies in treating the people well; The gift of the princes lies in loyalty and patriotism; The gift of a doctor lies in honesty and integrity; The gift of the common people lies in honoring their parents, I wonder if the senior brother is satisfied with this answer? β
"The junior brother is very talented, but Gao Pei is far behind." Gao Pei sighed and said.
Seeing that the two of them looked very happy to see each other, Li Han's shocked mouth couldn't be closed, damn, is this okay, the two of them hung their bookbags back and forth for a long time, and they didn't do anything, tens of thousands of troops came here and there to fight, obviously it was a vacation.
At this moment, a man dressed in brocade clothes came to Li Han and whispered: "General Li, Zhou Shuai has succeeded, now we can go." β
Li Han came to Wang Zhen and whispered a few words, Wang Zhen nodded and said that he already knew, and then arched his hand to Gao Pei opposite: "Today with the senior brother, Wang Zhen is very happy, but there is one thing Wang Zhen thinks about, he still can't hide it from the senior brother." β
"Senior brother, but it doesn't matter, if you want me to let you go, this is also negotiable." Gao Pei said indifferently.
Wang Zhen said ashamedly: "Senior brother is generous, in fact, I came here today, I deliberately dragged my senior brother, and our Zhou Shuai has already led another army straight to Yangtan, and now we have succeeded, all the grain in Yangtan has been burned by Zhou Shuai, and Wang Zhen's task has been completed. β
Gao Pei sighed and said: "Senior Brother Wang, you are really powerful, you lied to me, I should have hated you, but for some reason, I just can't hate it, alas, forget it, anyway, those grains and grass are not for us Goryeo people, burn it, I don't feel distressed." β
"Senior brother, if you do this, you won't be able to make a difference." Wang Zhen asked worriedly.
Gao Pei didn't reply, but his battleship moved over, and Li Han was startled and immediately shouted, "Be on guard." β
When the battleship came closer, Wang Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the senior brother still doesn't want to let me go, but if you come here so arrogantly, you are not afraid that I will kidnap you as the boss." β
Gao Pei replied mischievously: "Hehe, junior brother, I just let you come to hijack, if you kidnap me, you will be able to leave safely, and senior brother will be able to hand over when he goes back." β
Wang Zhen and the others were stunned for a long time before they reacted, only to see Gao Pei's constant urging, Wang Zhen arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, senior brother, I've offended a lot." β
"Come on." Gao Pei replied fearlessly.
