Xu Deshan really didn't expect his name to be so loud, spanning the entire territory of the Song Dynasty, from the northernmost to the southernmost, with a smile on his lips, he nodded and said, "Yes, I am that Xu Deshan." ”

Huang Shimi gasped and looked at Xu Deshan stupidly, while Nong Zhigao on the side didn't know what was going on, his prime minister was not a person who had never seen the world, how did he suddenly become like this, Nong Zhigao couldn't help asking, "Who is this Xu Deshan?" ”

Huang Shimi hurriedly played, "My king, I heard of this Xu Deshan when I was in Guangzhou last year, the king knows that last year the king of Hebei Road rebelled, and the king was the general of the border army of the Song Dynasty, leading the border army of two towns, 10,000 elite rebels, and captured the city of Beizhou, and there is a great potential for the tiger to dominate Hebei, but the king is so powerful, only in January, he was defeated by Ming Hao, the head of Hebei soldiers and horses, and among the emperor's reward, this Xu Deshan, a child of a few years old, was named the six-grade scrivener Wailang......"

Huang Shimi didn't say any more when he said this, and glanced at Nong Zhigao meaningfully, asking Nong Zhigao to understand the rest of the meaning himself.

Where could Nong Zhigao not understand what Huang Shimi meant, and then hurriedly looked at Xu Deshan, who used to look at Xu Deshan with a very innocent smile, but now how do you feel sinister, this Xu Deshan, defeated Wang Ze in Hebei, and now he won't come to fight himself again. Nong Zhigao suddenly even changed his sitting posture, and looked at Xu Deshan cautiously.

Xu Deshan smiled and said, "It's just a small name, it's not like this, if the king is worried that I am an official of the Song Dynasty, in fact, I have already dismissed myself from my official position and come here to relax." ”

Nong Zhigao looked left and right and asked, "Xu...... My lord, what are you doing here? ”

Xu Deshan said, "What I told you before is true, I am now living in a Zhuang village, and a few days ago, a messenger from the king went and said that all tribes would join the king's army and hold great things together." ”

Nong Zhi said happily, "Could it be that Lord Xu is here to assist me, if this is the case, I can achieve great things." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Oh? Is the king so eager to take over the world? ”

Nong Zhigao smiled bitterly and said, "I originally wanted to take refuge in the Song Dynasty, but a few letters were detained by the hateful Chen Hui, my clan was attacked by the Jiaozhi State and the Song Dynasty back and forth, and had no choice but to fight, now I have already broken through Yongzhou, Hengzhou, Guizhou, and occupied half of Guangxi. ”

Xu Deshan said, "In this way, the king also has some truth, but the king thinks that with the king's current strength against the Song Dynasty, who wins and who loses?" ”

Nong Zhigao said, "I started from the mountains, and now I am full of calculations, and there are only 20,000 people under my command, occupying three states, but the accumulation of a hundred years in the Song Dynasty, occupying the vast Central Plains, millions of heroes, and countless generals, how can I say their opponents." ”

Nong Zhigao said this, he couldn't help but be disheartened, Huang Wei, who was sitting next to him, saw it, got up and shouted, "Xu Deshan, you are here to persuade my king to surrender, let me tell you, now that my king has captured Sanzhou, he has been on the same page as the Song Dynasty, and if he is no longer compatible, he will surrender, and he will be cut by a thousand cuts, so you don't need to say the words of persuasion, it is impossible for my king to surrender." ”

Xu Deshan looked at Huang Wei and asked Nong Zhigao, "King, this is ......"

Nong Zhigao said, "This one is my second phase, and Huang Wei is also." ”

Xu Deshan saluted Huang Wei and said, "Lord Huang, you said that I came to persuade the king to surrender, yes, but no. ”

Huang Wei said disdainfully: "Why, yes and no?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I don't have an official position now, you say that I am persuading to surrender, who am I trying to persuade for?" Therefore it is not. However, when I came this time, I did mean to persuade the king to stop fighting, so I said so. ”

Huang Wei said, "The kid has a vicious mind, if my king stops the army now, then the Song army reacts and mobilizes the forbidden army to encircle and suppress it, won't my king have no power to fight back, so he can only be captured." ”

Xu Deshan shook his head and said, "Lord Huang's words are wrong, don't say what I think, I just ask my lord, even if the king can lead the army to kill all the way, then to what extent can he resist the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses killed by the Song Dynasty and go toe-to-toe with the Song Dynasty?" ”

Huang Wei was speechless for a while, they were still immersed in the joy of being invincible and taking three states in a row, all they wanted was to continue to the east, take more cities, obtain more wealth, and recruit more troops, and as for what result would be achieved in the end, Nong Zhigao, including his four right-hand men, actually did not have an accurate concept.

Xu Deshan smiled and said in an extremely confident tone, "Take the map!" ”

That Nong Zhizhong didn't know why, so he really brought Xu Deshan a map and spread it out on the table, but was glared at by Huang Wei fiercely, and then remembered that Xu Deshan was a child, why did he instruct himself.

Xu Deshan was also polite, and beckoned, "Come and see." Then he smacked his hand on the map and said, "This is your goal in the short term." ”

Well, Xu Deshan really planted a big question mark in everyone's hearts, with Huang Shimi's previous introduction, everyone would not think that Xu Deshan was an ordinary character who could be named a six-grade scholar at this age

Wailang's, even if there are not many inside, and the guidance of such a legendary figure is what Nong Zhigao and others need the most now, so where does Xu Deshan refer to on the map, the provocative Nong Zhigao and others are itching in their hearts, and they can't help but want to go over and take a look, even Huang Wei, who has been working against Xu Deshan, can't help but pull his neck to look here.

Nong Zhigao has this good, although he has now been called the king, but it is too casual to be a king in the ravine, and he has not been a king before, but in the end he was not arrested by others, so the title of this king, when he did not win the world, was a, and there were many times, and Nong Zhigao no longer cared about it.

Nong Zhigao looked left and right, seeing that everyone was curious, but he couldn't wipe off his face, and listened to Xu Deshan's command as a child, so he laughed dryly and said, "Since this is the case, I will listen to Lord Xu's high opinion." After speaking, he took the lead and got up from his seat and came to the table.

Everyone saw that Nong Zhigao's subordinates had passed, and they still had something to be reserved, so they hula, and they all gathered around Xu Deshan to see what Xu Deshan could say.

Xu Deshan was small, his arms were short, and his hands were a little sore, so he simply climbed onto the table, sat on the map, and gestured to everyone, "Your goal should be here, Guangzhou." Although Yongzhou is the largest city in Guangxi, it is simply not ranked in the country in terms of scale, the population is not large, and there is not much money and food, so it is completely nonsense to defend the Song army with this as the center. But Guangzhou is different, Guangzhou is the largest city in the south of the Song Dynasty, with mountains to defend in the north, vast plains in the south, and even to occupy the mouth of the sea, so that all the politics and economy can be firmly grasped, and only in this way can there be capital to compete with the Song army. ”

The goal of Guangzhou has long been within the consideration of Nong Zhigao and others, they saw that Xu Deshan pointed out such a place, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, Huang Wei said, "The little baby doesn't know what to do, who doesn't know that you are here to show off?" ”

Xu Deshan sat cross-legged and said, "It's not difficult to see the benefits of conquering Guangzhou, but have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if you fail to take Guangzhou?" ”

Nong Zhigao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xu Deshan meant, Xu Deshan continued, "If you can take Guangzhou, you will naturally have the capital to wrestle with the imperial court, but Guangzhou is still in the hands of the imperial court, and all the advantages are in the hands of the imperial court. ”

Nong Zhigao and others were indifferent, Xu Deshan said, "If you can't beat Guangzhou, then the imperial army will go south along Shaoguan and join forces with the defenders of Guangzhou, you are afraid that you can't even resist for half a day, and you will be chased and beaten by the imperial army, so what I want to say now is a way out for you, if you are confident that you will be able to take Guangzhou, just say nothing, but if you are not sure whether you can take Guangzhou, it is better to consider my method." ”

Nong Zhigao is an experienced person, so he naturally knows that his life is the most important, he thought for a while, and asked, "Master Xu, is there any good way, and I hope to teach you." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Say it in advance, my method may be a little difficult for you, but I put the method here, how to grasp it, you can grasp it yourself, I said you listen, don't be angry." ”

Seeing Nong Zhigao nodding, Xu Deshan said, "First of all, let's be clear, your rebellion now, in the eyes of the imperial court, is already an unforgivable crime, but after all, you are foreigners, and there are endless mountains behind you, plus there is a reason for the incident, there is still capital to talk between you and the imperial court." However, although you have capital, but not much, especially as you continue to advance eastward, your capital is getting less and less, and when you attack Guangzhou, your capital is very little, and it is basically ignored by the imperial court. ”

Nong Zhigao frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "The imperial court has always been tolerant of rebellion, unless it ...... You can find a valid reason, or you have a strong strength to fight against, or you can find an excuse not to lose face for the court. If you occupy all of the above three points, the imperial court will definitely not be able to kill you, the first of which you already have, and you have been delayed by Chen Heng, so you have to reverse, but these two or three points will have to work your own. ”

Nong Zhigao asked, "What kind of hard work method, I hope that Lord Xu will guide me." ”

Xu Deshan said, "The second point is very easy to understand, is the strength, that is, the territory, you have to grab as much territory as possible before the imperial court sends the forbidden army to come, the more the better, and the most important thing is the third point, you said that you have rebelled on a large scale and have slapped the imperial court hard, how can you save his face?" ”

Xu Deshan said other points, everyone understood, but the last question has exceeded everyone's imagination, yes, he has already slapped the court in the mouth, can he still tell him not to blame himself? No matter how you think about it, I think this idea is a bit fanciful.

Xu Deshan said with a smile, "This question seems difficult, but it is also very simple, what kind of governance did the Song Dynasty use, benevolence and filial piety, and although you are a rebellion, it is combined with the previous Chen Heng's seizure."

After all, you have to clarify your own nature first, we are raising troops for the Song Dynasty to exterminate the villains, not to overthrow the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, you see, this reason has become much more justified. ”

Nong Zhigao looked at Huang Wei and Huang Shimi, and it was not easy to express his position for a while, Xu Deshan whispered, "Look, why are your brains so dead, now you say that it is the Qingjun side that can leave a way back for yourself, and when you really have the ability to kill Kaifeng, who cares what the reason is for you, isn't it yours to seize the world, can you still spit it out to the Zhao family?" ”

Nong Zhigao understood at this moment, and continued to ask, "Thank you, Lord Xu, for your advice." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Don't be busy, I asked you to play a slogan, but it's not just this, anyone can shout a slogan, but the slogan is not shouted in vain, you have to make a little sacrifice for this slogan." ”

Nong Zhigao frowned and said, "What sacrifice? ”

Xu Deshan said, "Qing Jun's side, it means that you are conforming to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and only rebelling for some small people, then your target can only be those villains, so wherever your army goes, you must not commit any crimes in the autumn, so that you can act like the real one, and people can believe it." ”

Nong Zhigao said, "This is simple, we originally fought for the poor, you see, everywhere you go, those people all applaud. ”

Xu Deshan said, "You are wrong, even if you are good to the people, the people praise you, who can see it?" Can the court, can the emperor, they can hear and see, they are all rich people who you robbed before, they ran to Kaifeng to sue you, do you say you can still have good fruit to eat? ”

Nong Zhigao frowned and said, "What do you think?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "The people can't be offended, but you can't afford to offend those who are officials, at least, you can't touch them now." ”

Huang Wei said impatiently, "But our current military rations are all obtained from the local rich households, and you asked us to please them, but where does our food come from?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I'm only responsible for giving you directions, but I don't give you ideas, I don't take your salary." ”

Nong Zhigao is a smart person, where do you not know what Xu Deshan means, at Nong Zhizhong, Nong Zhizhong took a bag of gold and silver from the side, and put it in front of the first hit, Xu Deshan did not hide it at all, picked it up and put it in his pocket, while taking it, he also said, "Look, I am the first lesson for you, you don't always look at those rich people hateful, when you rob them, there will always be other people who get rich, such as me." ”

Nong Zhigao and others chuckled, and after Xu Deshan put the silver away, he continued, "It can be said that you have offended most of the bureaucratic landlords now, and there is already a contradiction, and this contradiction, as long as you are still there, will not disappear, so what you need is to divert the contradiction." ”

Nong Zhigao gave all the money, and he wanted to ask Xu Deshan to understand, "What is the transfer method?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "Aren't you calling for Qingjun's side, so you have to find a person to target first, you just need to put all the faults on that person's head." ”

Huang Shimi said, "But we don't know a few people in the court, who do you ask us to treat as villains?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "It's not simple, whoever has the most famous name will attack whom, that, I think Wen Yanbo, who was just promoted to prime minister last year, is a very good target, you can treat him as a villain." ”

Huang Shimi said, "But when we say this, there must be a reason, we don't know anything, how can we frame people?" ”

Xu Deshan glanced at Huang Shimi and said, "You said that you were framed, what reason do you need, just your brain, you still want to rebel, no wonder you haven't gone out of Guangxi for so long." ”

Nong Zhigao looked at Xu Deshan sitting on the table and wanted to cry without tears, is it us rebelling or Xu Deshan rebelling here, how do you feel more and more that the role is a bit reversed, how can he Xu Deshan be so arrogant in front of him, and is there any reason for heaven.

Xu Deshan didn't have this consciousness, he looked at Nong Zhigao a little stupid, and continued, "Do you still need me to teach you this, you can find a random one among the officials here who has a connection with Wen Yanbo, and directly say that he oppressed the working people of Guangxi and oppressed the people, all of which were instructed by Wen Yanbo, so your rebellion was also forced by Wen Yanbo, isn't it okay." ”

Huang Shimi weakly raised his hand and asked, "It's simple to find an official who has a relationship with Wen Yanbo, and grab a lot of them, but if you say that people are oppressing the people, they will oppress the people, and if you say that Wen Yanbo instructed, Wen Yanbo instructed, you say so, can people admit it?" ”

Xu Deshan hated that iron could not become steel, glanced at Huang Shimi, and said, "He doesn't admit it?" If you kill him, the dead won't contradict you? If you can't forge a letter, if you can't do it, find a few perjury, as long as you have an excuse, there's nothing you can't do. ”

When everyone heard this, they subconsciously took a step back, Nong Zhigao really had the heart to kneel down to Xu Deshan as the boss, you are the boss who kills people without blinking, I let you be the emperor, my men and soldiers are all yours, if you can succeed in the rebellion, don't forget to give me a prince.
