One-one-two
It was late at night, and Qinghe prepared the yamen of the Imperial Office.
In the dark night, Zou Chuxian and Yue Xiang went out of the gate together under the guidance of the soldiers with lanterns, Zou Chuxian hugged Yue Xiang with a fist, and said in a resolute tone: "Ziyi said that after a certain family goes back, he will think about it carefully, but I hope Ziyi will not be in a hurry." The sage once said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Everything needs to be done properly before you can act with confidence. I don't think I need to say much about the stakes, but some things are better for everyone to come together as a counselor. ”
In the darkness, the soldiers next to him could not see his expression in the shadows clearly, and could only hear that the tone of the main general seemed to be a little unkind, and if it was daytime, they could see that Zou Chuxian's face was tense.
After talking for a long time in one night, Yue Xiang just said that war was inevitable, and it was better to strike first. But he didn't disclose the specific details, and he talked about the clouds and mountains along the way, and every time Zou Chuxian asked about the substance, Yue Xiang began to sell the guanzi in circles, which made him a little unhappy. This is a war and nothing else, the matter is not clearly explained in advance, and once something goes wrong, it will be a major matter of thousands of lives.
Zou Chuxian was really dissatisfied with Yue Xiang's attitude, but Yue Xiang insisted on not saying it, and there was nothing he could do. Now Yue Xiang's backstage is harder than him. It's just that he made up his mind in his heart, if Yue Xiang dared to come, he would definitely not agree. Even if the lawsuit is brought to Yang Hao, it can't be said.
In addition, he wondered in his heart, why the familiar Yue Xiang became a little uncomfortable for him. How did that wise and brave young man become like a gambler who had lost a red eye, and what was he anxious about? Is it really that bad?
Yue Xiang stood at the entrance of the yamen, watching the lantern lights of Zou Chuxian and the other team of people fade away, turning an alley and disappearing. With a small sigh, he turned around and walked towards his home.
He understands Zou Chuxian's attitude very well, and it is definitely the same for himself. No one would dare to take risks with such a thing, unless they were absolutely sure. In addition, there is really no warning of the change in his attitude, and Zou Chuxian will definitely not be able to digest it for a while. It can even be said that no matter whether it succeeds or fails, this kind of thing is not something that officials of their level can do on their own. He casually provoked a war in three or five sentences, and he was not the emperor. Even the emperor can't be so simple, he can do whatever he wants.
But there is nothing he can do to explain to him too clearly, the less people know about Gao Huai's hidden gold, the better, if he tells Zou Chuxian, he will also be dragged into this whirlpool. In these days, people are separated from their stomachs, and in the face of such great wealth, who knows what people will think? Moreover, as far as his own selfishness is concerned, he does not want to share this secret with others.
Now looking at Zou Chuxian's attitude, he is determined that he will not cooperate if he doesn't hear the truth, which gives him a headache. Temporary nonsense will probably be recognized if he is a cover, after all, Zou Chuxian is also a veteran with a habitual soldier, and he will definitely be able to hear if he is a lie. If you tell him what you really think, you can't predict what he's going to think.
And the irony is that even if he told Zou Chuxian the true plan and he didn't waver, Yue Xiang didn't have a bottom in his own heart. Nurhachi is not easy to deceive, and after thirty years of fighting in Liaodong, there are definitely not a few people who want to calculate him. If he could be easily fooled, he would have died many times.
But he always believed that what should come will always come. Regardless of whether Nurhachi is tricked or not, he will come to fight Qinghe, and a bloody battle cannot be avoided. Anyway, the left and right are dead, so it's better to give it a try.
He felt he had a chance to succeed.
He knew that Nurhachi was definitely not easy to deal with, and even he was not a grade below the other party. Originally, he should have dealt with such a person steadily, but later he felt that the current situation was difficult to continue the original strategy. After all, he had no experience in this kind of real planning and real strategy before, although he knew that Nurhachi was defeated by the cannon of the fortified city, but when it was his turn to use it, he really didn't have any specific tactics to think about.
And now he feels that it is a little unsafe to wait for the other party to fight like this. Nurha was defeated under Yuan Chonghuan, but does he have the same ability as Yuan Chonghuan? Can you compare yourself to this all-time great?
He wasn't sure.
Sometimes he asked himself if his tossing had made any difference. Maybe it's going to be so or what. In terms of marching and fighting, he may not know as much as Zou Chuxian. Maybe you don't play a role at all, everything is just self-righteous blind toss, and in the end you will find that everything is in vain.
But he can't get out now, he's been caught up too deeply. Now he is fighting for his fate.
More importantly, he really felt that Nurhachi was about to launch a big attack, this feeling was strange, it seemed to be some kind of intuition, but it was so real, he could even smell the cold murderous aura blowing from the east. He's actually suppressing his nervousness every day these days, and that kind of pressure is really scary, and he really wants to get out of it. He really wanted to make a break happily, up and down, it was better than this silent torment.
Perhaps it was not so easy to defeat the Eight Banners Army of Jianzhou, in a sense, the Battle of Ningyuan, which took place a few years later, was the defeat of the Eight Banners Army. But his goal was not to defeat the Eight Banners, but Nurhachi alone. Therefore, there may be no need for me to copy the experience of Ning Yuancheng.
No matter how powerful Nurhachi is, he is also a person, an old man who is almost sixty. He can't stay in the protection of the army all day without showing his face, this man's habit is to charge ahead.
As long as Nurhachi is eliminated, the Eight Banners Army will no longer have the threat at this stage. And if Dai Shan ascends the throne, he can't do better than Huang Taiji. There may also be fratricidal incidents. As long as these two biggest threats to the Han people in the Central Plains disappear, perhaps the trend of history will be more benevolent to the Han people.
Walking slowly on the road, Yue Xiang could already feel the changes in the aura around him. Ever since he had fought with the evil magicians of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, Yue Xiang had opened his eyes to the fact that in addition to martial arts, there were some unknown strange techniques in this era that were real and terrifyingly powerful. Since then, he has felt that his abilities have grown, and that some kind of intuitive insight has gradually manifested.
It is said that this is a spiritual decision that only a high monk or qigong master who has been refining qi for decades can have, Yue Xiang doesn't know if his level is considered a master now, but now if there are people around him who have obvious malice towards him, he is basically seventy or eighty percent sure that he can detect it.
After walking out for a while, I saw that there was no one around. Yue Xiang said softly: "Come out, dignified Jinyi Guard, aren't you tired of following me all day long?" ”
The form of the dark dragon slowly emerged from the darkness around it. This brocade-clothed guard with the strange art of Qimen Dunjia appeared silently beside him. After a while, he said, "Finished discussing?" Then it's time to go home and go to bed. Running around with the lights in hand, don't you know that you're tired? ”
"Alas, it is a natural hard life to be born, otherwise how could you do these thankless things?"
"If you know it's a thankless effort, why do it?" The expression of the dark dragon was faint, and he pretended to be quite cool. Yue Xiang sneered and said, "There's no way, I'm born to be idle." If you are idle and have nothing to do, you will inevitably be cranky; If you think about it, you will think about how to smear the soles of your feet with oil. Then will you not be more tired? ”
"Hmph, if you can slip out of our hands, I'll kneel on the ground and lick your feet." The dark dragon snorted twice with disdain, and the proud look on his face made Yue Xiang very uncomfortable.
In the future, there will be a time when you kneel on the ground and lick it for me!
After scolding in his heart, Yue Xiang smiled and said: "That's natural, the two of them are so clever that their methods are not a problem, and this little trick is naturally not worth mentioning." So I had to stay here honestly and do a good job of the things that Lord Jinglu explained to me. By the way, why didn't the other one see, did he hurry back to write a secret letter to send it to Shenyang? I don't know if I listened to what I said to Master Zou just now, do you want me to add something to you? ”
"We just need to stare at you and don't run around or talk, as for the rest, that's none of our business." The Dark Dragon's attitude was cold, and his eyes were full of confidence when he looked at Yue Xiang, don't think that something can hide from me.
It's strange that you don't go to report the news, although Yue Xiang is unhappy, but he is also helpless. These two people are usually elusive, and they really want to monitor themselves, but they didn't run. I can only perceive their existence, but I can only let them go, and I can just ask for some bargains. But he had seen the strange methods of these two people, and from the very beginning, he thought that the two strange people, the Ghost Tiger and the Dark Dragon, would definitely come in handy in his plan. Now, he's even more intended.
"By the way, last time I heard the people of the Xiang Sect say that you made it a Bagua Lotus Palm. This is the martial arts of the White Lotus Sect, are you really the descendant of Tang Sai'er of the Red Tassel Society? ”
"Why are you asking about this?" The Dark Dragon doesn't seem to have much taboo on the topic and doesn't deny it.
"Excuse me. After all, everyone is a buddy who has lived and died together, and business is business, so there is no need to be so stiff between private people. My wife is also a descendant of the White Yang Sect, and everyone is on the same boat, so I won't denounce you. Besides, this matter is not a secret, the people who smell the incense sect already know it, what are they afraid of? ”
"So what?"
"Then why did you become a brocade guard? Serving the imperial court, aren't you afraid that your ancestors won't be able to close their eyes? ”
"Joke, what did my ancestors think about me? If she wants to rebel, she will rebel against hers, and I am not that interested. I don't believe in the nonsense that King Ming was born and the Buddha mother came to life. I only know that learning to sell literature and martial arts to the emperor's house, people go to high places and water flows to low places. When you become an official, you can enjoy glory and wealth, and you won't go hungry, it's as simple as that. ”
"Then how did you get with Yang Ho?"
"He's saved me once before." The dark dragon said very simply, Yue Xiang already had a little bit of a bottom in his heart, this person was telling the truth, and he was indeed a realistic person. Of course, it is not wrong to value fame and fortune, human beings are originally selfish animals, and who in this world does not value fame and fortune, this is just the nature of human beings.
"Yang Jingluo knows if you come from?"
"My origin is a brocade guard, and the affairs of my ancestors have nothing to do with me. Lord Yang is the prime minister's material, how can he account for these small things. If it's all the way you think, your head will have been on the ground for a long time. The dark dragon didn't say it explicitly, but Yue Xiang guessed that he probably knew about it.
"My head is already tied to the waistband of my trousers, ready to be taken off at any time. But you, as a brocade guard, are now a hundred households. Since it is said that people go to high places, haven't you thought that in the future, they will continue to rise to a thousand households, command envoys, all command envoys, and one person will be above ten thousand people. Haven't you thought about it? ”
I must have thought that people have **. It was originally an ordinary person, and after he became an official, he tasted the sweetness, and he definitely wanted to climb up so that he could taste greater and more sweetness, and Chinese officialdom has been like this since ancient times.
"Ever thought about it? Where is it so easy? There was a hint of melancholy in the dark dragon's tone.
"Since you've thought about it, you're going to work hard in that direction, you have Lord Yang to cover, are you afraid that there won't be a chance to promote you?" Yue Xiang heard that this guy's mind turned out to be quite a bit of a WTO entry, and he was immediately overjoyed. In this case, it is still a bit of a door, and it is much better than the real oil and salt not entering.
"You are a country bun outside the border, how do you know how deep the water is in the capital. Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, holding heavy power, as long as it is a person with some skills, it is not an exaggeration to make money every day, I don't know how many people are staring at this piece of fat, how can it be mentioned casually. There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital, there are countless immortals from all walks of life, and there are veritable wolves with more meat and less meat. The bottom is not hard, and it can be squeezed down by people when it goes up. After going out of Beijing, it is considered a big man, and he is in Beijing...... Hmph, just counting on promotion, I don't know what year and month it will take. ”
"And that's it." Yue Xiang looked at the dark dragon's face a little unnatural, thinking that this guy probably also had the painful experience of being squeezed down at the beginning, it seems that this nepotism is a national tradition that has existed in China since ancient times, and the adage of "having a good father, less struggle for twenty years" is applicable in any era.
"Nonsense, if you don't behave well, even if others promote you, you won't have enough confidence. Unless it can make great achievements, how can it be convincing to the public. Even if Zhang Juzheng is still alive now, he will not be able to cover the sky with one hand. ”
"This matter is simple, so I simply sell my strength and make a few great contributions for those idlers to see, and naturally extinguish their mouths. With your ability, isn't it enough? Yue Xiang deliberately led the topic in this direction, and he expected that the ten ** in front of him would be set.
"Joke, how can you have so much credit for making you stand. This kind of thing pays attention to chance, and if you encounter it, you will encounter it, and if you can't touch it, you can't touch it. If you say that you will stand up, then everyone will be a big official. ”
"That's right, meritorious service is really about chance. Believe it or not, I will tell fortunes, and your chance has arrived today. ”
"What?" The dark dragon looked at Yue Xiang and didn't understand what he was talking about for a while. Yue Xiang's face was full of sincerity: "Let me tell you, right now in this Liaodong, in this Qinghe City, there is a miracle waiting for you to set up." If it is successful, Hugh will say that it is a thousand households, and it may not be possible to immediately seal the marquis. ”
"How can there be such a thing? What the hell are you up to? The dragon's face regained its alertness.
"What did I lie to you, do you think that Yang Jingluo left you by my side just to watch me? In fact, he had other intentions. It's just that this matter is extremely dangerous, and if you want to make meritorious service, you must hold the consciousness of death, that is, you can only do it with your ability. You think carefully about whether you want to listen to it or not, this matter is very important, and you can't regret it after listening to it. If I don't listen, I haven't said it. ”
The dark dragon stopped and stared at Yue Xiang's eyes carefully, but he couldn't see half of the hypocrisy in it.
"Is it really Lord Yang's instructions?"
"Exactly, it depends on whether you have the courage to do so. Wealth is in danger, and now there is a chance in front of you, just waiting for you to reach out and grab it. Yue Xiang lost no time in tempting.
"Say, I'll listen." The Dark Dragon took a deep breath and made up his mind in an instant......
Slowly returning home, Xiaowan was waiting for him to come back as usual.
Now the only one who can say something confidant is this wife. Wang Yining's position seemed a little strange, and Yue Xiang didn't know which side he was. said that he was not from the government, but he had a close relationship with Yang Hao's subordinates, and he also ventured to infiltrate the envoy group to Hetuara and connect with Li Yongfang. said that he was from the government, but he seemed to be quite free in his actions, and Yang Hao couldn't particularly restrain him. And as the person who participated in the whole trip to the incense burner mountain with himself, he seemed to fade out of Yang Hao's sight.
Maybe he had some unknown relationship with the government, but what is certain is that he did not betray himself. Although he had not seen the treasure map, he knew that the treasure was not in one place. He apparently didn't tell Yang Ho about this. From this point of view, he is still on his side, but what is his background?
The only thing that is certain is that Wang Yining is no longer the arrogant and angry young man he was familiar with "before", and now although his unruly character has not changed, there is an extra layer of mystery on his body. Yue Xiang was even wondering if this guy had joined some cult, but he had now left for Shenyang to meet Yang Hao, and he was not in Qinghe for the time being.
Inside the house, Xiao Wan helped Yue Xiang take off his coat and waited for him to sit down.
"Did the people send it out?" Yue Xiang asked, at present, all his subordinates are newly sent battalionmen, I don't know how many of them were planted by others, these people are unreliable. So he can only use Xiaowan as his assistant. Fortunately, Xiaowan has been tempered by the wind and waves during this period of time, and she is no longer the weak young woman she used to be. It's quite effective in getting things done.
"It's already been dispatched, and it's the main road from Liaoyang to Shenyang, so it may be a few days slower." Xiao Wan brought him a bowl of hot soup, "What did Lord Zou say over there?" ”
"It's about the same as expected, but it's not like it's not going to be a lack of progress."
"No wonder, this thing is so dangerous that if you don't get it right, you will implicate the whole city. Xianggong, isn't there any other way? ”
"Of course I know the danger, so I have to risk it this time. Nurhachi is a real big shark, and to catch such prey, ordinary bait is not enough. So I'll have to use myself as bait, and maybe add a pickaxe, to lure him out. Otherwise, Liaodong will never have peace. ”
