Gonggong Long looked at Lan Ziyi, waved his hand and motioned for Lan Ziyi to sit down, and he himself sat down together and fiddled with the wrench in his hand.

Lan Ziyi thought that Gonggong Long was going to fiddle for a long time, but he didn't expect Gonggong Long to speak immediately after sitting down:

"How many people are coming back from Jiangbei?"

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he thought that Gonggong Long was not good at coming and planned to take this opportunity to make trouble, so he replied:

"The defeat of Jiangbei has nothing to do with Father-in-law Yu, it is all because Zhang Mingyue sent people to interfere with it, so that the advantage of our army in Fangcheng was wiped out, and finally let the demon thieves become bigger."

Hearing Lan Ziyi's answer, Gonggong Long stretched out his hand and waved it and said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to hold the army accountable, you don't have to be so nervous."

Then Gong Long took a sip of tea, and said to himself as if he was stuck in a memory:

"I never want to toss the old fish head, his loyalty has nothing to say, his ability is also very strong, he is good at employing people and good at good relations between generals and commanders, and he is not very jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and he can listen to the outspoken admonitions of his subordinates. The emperor is absolutely relieved to use him, but he is too utilitarian, and he has to put people to death if someone gets in his way, just like me, he can't wait to eat me alive if he occupies the position of the celebrant and eunuch, he has been this virtue for a long time, and he has not changed it for so many years, really. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to Grandpa Long's words, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Grandpa Long not only did not hate Father-in-law Yu, but trusted Father-in-law Yu.

But after Lan Ziyi was relieved, he felt an indescribable sense of dissonance, that feeling was like Huang Zhong Da Lu singing ceremonial music above the temple was not a musician but a sacrificial scalper...... The emperor said it.

After listening to what Father-in-law Long said, Lan Ziyi hurriedly bowed and said:

"My father-in-law is really big-bellied and can tolerate the world's affairs, Ziyi thanked my father-in-law here first."

Immediately afterwards, Lan Ziyi asked:

"My father-in-law just said 'a long time ago', did my father-in-law know Father-in-law Yu before?"

Father-in-law Yu didn't answer Lan Ziyi's question, he patted the placket of his shirt and said:

"Tomorrow morning, the emperor will personally go to the court to discuss the current battle situation, and there is not much time left for the marquis. I will stand on your side if I am reasonable, and I will not protect the old fish head but also the king of Baode, you don't have to worry about me here. It is Zhang Shoufu that Wei Hou has to convince now. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded and replied:

"Understood."

Hearing this, Gonggong Long glanced up at Lan Ziyi, and when he saw Gonggong Long, he nodded with satisfaction as he looked prepared.

Then Gonggong Long picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea and said:

"Wei Hou is an understanding person, I can rest assured that you will do things, and I believe there will be no problems if Zhang Shoufu is handed over to you to deal with.

But I still have a question, what did Wei Hou plan to say when he went to Zhang Mingyue? “

Lan Ziyi replied:

"Of course, let him support Grandpa Yu, even if he doesn't want to, I have to fight for him to remain neutral."

Grandpa Long took another sip of tea, put down the teacup after hearing Lan Ziyi's answer, and asked:

"And then?"

Lan Ziyi looked at Grandpa Long and repeated:

"And then?"

Grandpa Long nodded and said:

"Yes, and then what? Keeping the old fish's head is of course the first thing tomorrow, but what about after this incident? ”

Lan Ziyi somewhat understood what Gonggong Long meant, and asked;

"Father-in-law is talking about anti-thief things?"

Grandpa Long smiled, bowed his head and said:

"Anti-thief? It is ironic that a few months ago he was a thief, but now he is a thief. ”

Lan Ziyi swallowed his saliva when he heard what Father-in-law Long said, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Gonggong Long raised his head at this time, looked at Lan Ziyi and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, Wei Hou is not wrong, we are indeed fighting thieves now, so how is Wei Hou going to resist?"

Lan Ziyi thought for a moment and asked tentatively:

"Battle?"

Grandpa Long smiled again:

"Yes, yes, of course we have to fight, but now we can't fight."

As he spoke, Grandpa Long got up and paced in the hall, and said as he walked towards the door:

"There was a melee in Jiangbei, and now all the available soldiers along the river have been exhausted, and even the Eastern Army stationed in Hailing has been mobilized by you, and the battle is lost in Shouchun. And what about the thieves, they hit out of thin air......"

Father-in-law Long glanced back at Lan Ziyi, Lan Ziyi was sweating on his forehead when Father-in-law Long said it, and it hurt badly when Father-in-law Long stared at him like this, but when Father-in-law Long asked, he couldn't help but say, Lan Ziyi replied:

"According to my estimates, there are no less than 300,000 elite soldiers in the thieves, and if you count the accompanying family members, you can't count them."

Grandpa Long nodded and continued to ask:

"It seems that the thief is claiming to be a million, it seems that it is really not nonsense, then I still have the same question just now, how many people did you bring back from Jiangbei, Weihou?"

Lan Ziyi was really sweating now, so he almost knelt on the ground, he gritted his teeth and said:

"But more than 30,000 people."

Gonggong Long sighed after hearing the number of people reported by Lan Ziyi, and suddenly Lan Ziyi felt a lot lighter, and at the same time, Gonggong Long said publicly:

"You brought back more than 30,000 people to Beijing, plus the remaining Beijing army in the capital is only more than 50,000 people, which is still counting the Chijiao Camp Water Army. Since the beginning of spring, the upper and lower reaches of the river have been raining heavily, and now there are many floods along the river, which is not the most important, the most important thing is that the coastal water division cannot enter the river in time because of the river water swelling and wind and rain, and it is difficult to block the river surface by relying on the first battalion of the Chijiao battalion to prevent the thieves from crossing the river. If you can't organize the demon thieves to cross the river, you have to rely on land warfare, but you also know the current strength of the capital, how can you stop the demon thieves who landed on the shore. Qi Zhun mobilized the eastern armies of the southeast to urgently join the Beijing division, but they had just set off not long ago, and it was impossible for them to come to the capital so quickly. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to what Father-in-law Long said, and finally understood what Father-in-law Long meant, Lan Ziyi got up and said:

"What does my father-in-law mean, Zhao'an?"

Gonggong Long had already walked to the door at this time, he turned to look at Lan Ziyi, turned around, and said:

"Yes, it's to recruit An. The demon thief wants whatever title he wants, give them gold and silver treasures, you killed the thief Kou Tianwang in Shouchun, and now the remaining people are better recruited, as long as they can stay in Jiangbei for a while.

As long as the thieves are willing to give us a little time, even if we can use envoy negotiations to drag them for a while, when the army gathers on all sides, the thieves will be destroyed. “

Lan Ziyi said:

"Although my father-in-law's plan is good, it is a little ......"

When Lan Ziyi was thinking about what word to use, Yu Gonggong smiled:

"Does Wei Hou feel that he lacks virtue? I think so too, but as long as the thief can be destroyed, what does it matter if he lacks virtue. ”

Lan Ziyi was able to find 10,000 sage remarks and historical allusions to refute what Gonggong Long said, but after fighting with the thieves for so long, Lan Ziyi was not as brainless as before.

Lan Ziyi smiled and asked:

"Since you can mobilize the Quartet army now, why not mobilize it when you are in Jiangbei? Gao Yanzong and I tried our best to delay the thieves in Xiangcheng, but the northern army was ordered to stop advancing when it first came, why is this? ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Long put away his smile and snorted coldly:

"You think I don't want to? That has to be agreed by the protégés of the saints in the court. When I first left Beijing, I didn't transfer many troops for the sake of King De, but later the ministers were reluctant to let the feudal towns come back to help. Now Huojiao only reluctantly agreed to the entry of the Eastern Army into Beijing, but it was too late. ”

Gonggong Long walked up to Lan Ziyi and patted Lan Ziyi on the shoulder, and Lan Ziyi said:

"Zhao'an is a good way, but the ministers of the DPRK and China don't even agree to the assistance of the feudal towns, so how can they agree to Zhao'an? That's a demon thief, and half of the Taisho has been stirred up by them. ”

Long Father-in-law says:

"That's why I said that Zhang Mingyue is the focus. Zhang Mingyue is not brainless, he knows what to do is right. ”

Lan Ziyi bowed slightly, and then asked:

"Then what does the emperor mean by this?"

Father-in-law Long returned to the chair and picked up the tea bowl and said:

"No matter what the emperor means, he can't support Zhao'an, you know? The emperor is the Son of Heaven, a herdsman on behalf of the heavens, and the reward is virtuous but there is no way. Unless the ministers advise, the emperor will have to send an edict to recruit peace. So you don't need to know what the emperor means. ”

Lan Ziyi asked, firstly, he wanted to find out the emperor's thoughts, and secondly, he wanted to test whether Gonggong Long was causing trouble to the dynasty or speaking for the emperor. If Gonggong Long packs the ticket and says what the emperor meant, then it is very likely that he is conveying his own meaning, but listening to what Gonggong Long said just now, it is indeed what the emperor's henchmen should say.

After being relieved, Lan Ziyi said:

"What my father-in-law said is quite clear, but even the emperor is difficult to express his position on this matter, and Ziyi, as a military general, is not qualified to take the lead in proposing peace in the temple."

Grandpa Long took a sip of tea, seemed to bite the tea leaves, smashed his tongue, and said:

"Knowing that you are slippery, you will definitely not solicit such a troublesome thing, as long as you let Zhang Shoufu agree, at least he will acquiesce."

Lan Ziyi clasped his fists and said:

"I understand my father-in-law, in that case, I will take my leave first."

After putting down the teacup, Grandpa Long nodded and said:

"It's already late at night, I won't send you, the waist card that walks at night must be arranged for you by the old fish head, and I won't give it to you. Hurry up, Zhang Mingyue's conversation will not be easy. ”

Lan Ziyi got up and went out after finishing his work, and the guards outside the door saw Lan Ziyi come out, and people attracted the three people who accompanied him just now, and several people held up umbrellas again and walked in the palace, and after leaving the master of ceremonies for a distance, Qiu Xiaozhi asked first:

"Wei Hou, why did you come out so quickly? What does Grandpa Long mean? ”

兰子义 says:

"Father-in-law Long has no intention of being an enemy of Father-in-law Yu, at least that's what I see, no matter how bad it is, this time we will join the Beijing Long Guild and stand on our side."

Then Lan Ziyi briefly talked about the conversation in the room just now, and finally Lan Ziyi said:

"The key now is to see if Zhang Mingyue will stand with us."

Qiu Wenruo touched his chin and said:

"Zhao'an is a good policy, but the emperor doesn't want to take the initiative to bring this matter up, and I'm afraid the resistance between the DPRK and China will not be small."

Qiu Xiao interjected:

"It's not small, it's big."
