Chapter 55: The Emperor and the Poisoner
Zhu Chaofeng and Zhu Biao, father and son, can be regarded as the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, although they are hundreds of meters away, they are all in tears.
From Zhu Chaofeng's point of view, I thought that the three sons were dead, but now although there is only one left, it is also very exciting, just like a person who invested a million, but was cheated by someone and had no money left, which was naturally extremely painful, but later found that he had found another 500,000 yuan, although the total amount was still a loss, but the mood of losing and regaining it was still very happy.
And Zhu Biao was originally arrogant and proud, thinking that he was invincible in the world, but he was first defeated, and then he was easily defeated by Ye Ling one-on-one, and he was already hit hard, and later witnessed the death of the eldest brother and the second brother in battle, and his own family suffered heavy casualties, so it was almost grinding.
Ye Ling smiled faintly and said: "You don't have to be so sad, anyway, the rest of your life is long, and you can slowly describe the relationship between father and son when you have time." ”
Zhu Chaofeng was shocked: "You, what did you say?" Would you like to put my Biao'er back? ”
Ye Ling said calmly: "Otherwise? If you don't let him go, I'll just kill him with a knife, why bother to bring him over? Besides, your family Zhu Sangongzi has too much food, and I have consumed a lot of food in the past few days, so I think it's better to give it back to you, hehe. ”
After saying that, Ye Ling urged the horse over, and showed that the ancient ingot knife was a knife to chop, Zhu Biao thought that he would die, and he was so frightened that his eyes were closed, but when he opened his eyes, he found that it was okay, and all the ropes on his body were cut off by Ye Lingqi's brush - inadvertently, Ye Ling showed his proficient knife technique again, this knife is easy to cut a rope, but it is not easy to cut off the dense dozen rings of the bundle, and it is not easy to hurt Zhu Biao in the slightest.
Then Ye Ling smiled and said, "I wish the third son, I have wronged you in the past few days, hurry up and go back to reunite with your father." ”
Zhu Biao never thought that Ye Ling would really let him go, and only after a moment did he urge the horse forward, Zhu Chaofeng was excited to welcome the flying horse, and the two met in the middle of the battlefield, Zhu Biao turned over and dismounted and knelt on the ground, while Zhu Chaofeng hugged him, and the father and son hugged and cried.
Wu Yong couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "Brother, this Zhu Biao can't help but use it as a hostage, and Zhu Chaofeng can't help but be a good bargaining chip, this, why did he let him go for nothing?" Xiaosheng is really puzzled. ”
Ye Ling whispered to him: "This Zhu Chaofeng and his son lick the calf deeply, it is better to be a personal favor than a threat, this is one of them; Letting go of Zhu Biao also made the rest of Zhujiazhuang give up the idea of desperately, which is the second; It's just Zhu Biao, and letting it go will only make that Zhu Chao serve multiple burdens, even if he regrets it, it's nothing, and he can't make any waves. ”
Wu Yong still doesn't approve of Ye Ling's move too much, he is always used to speculating on others from the most vicious and bad angles, and he doesn't want to believe in the good side of human nature, so if he is allowed to make a decision, he must use Zhu Biao as a hostage to force Zhujiazhuang to compromise, and even use him as a shield.
In one sentence, that is, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, it really lives up to the name of a poisoner!
But he still nodded, as a strategist, he only needs to fulfill the obligation to remind the lord and give advice, and the final decision is still the lord.
Ye Ling coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the audience, and then said slowly: "Zhu Chaofeng, anyway, your son has returned safely, your father and son have time to get together, why don't we talk about how to end this war next?" ”
After Zhu Chaofeng's father and son cried like this, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield became more subtle, and the feeling of tension between the two sides before was diluted a lot, especially on the side of Zhujiazhuang, before Zhu Poshan was killed, Luan Tingyu's defeat had already made them see the strength of Liangshan, and those who were still a little arrogant were also speechless;
And Ye Ling unexpectedly released Zhu Biao later, so that many hardliners who planned to die were also infected, after all, who would want to die if they didn't die? Ye Ling didn't even pay attention to a figure of Zhu Biao's level, and if he said that he would let them go, how could he kill them all?
So under these two reasons, the fighting spirit of Zhujiazhuang has obviously weakened a lot, and many people are whispering, not like they were all cold-eyed and murderous before.
Wu Yong is so delicate and obedient, he found this situation at a glance, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, I Wu Yong thinks that he has a perfect grasp of people's hearts, but this brother seems to be above himself, he can actually expect that the release of Zhu Biao will have such a great benefit, this Zhujiazhuang's morale is at least half low, and it will definitely be much easier to fight later.
In fact, Ye Ling is not as "old and spicy" as Wu Yong thought, but compared to the mentally overly dark Zhi Duoxing classmate, Ye Ling is much more sunny, and the pattern is much larger, what he cares about is never the gains and losses of one person in this city, one place, one person, but the whole world.
So this is the biggest difference between him and Wu Yong, Wu Yong wants to calculate every bit of interest to the extreme, while Ye Ling doesn't care, as long as the general direction is right.
This is like starting with 10,000 yuan, Wu Yonghui will calculate it bit by bit very clearly, choose the most suitable financial products, so that the interests are naturally the most stable; But Ye Ling will invest in the most promising industry in the future, even if he loses a part, he doesn't care, maybe Wu Yong will have an advantage in a short time, but after a long time, the gap between the two sides will become bigger and bigger, Wu Yong may be 20,000 after a year, 50,000 after two years, and 100,000 after five years; And Ye Ling may only have eight thousand left in one year, twelve thousand in two years, but five years later, it is likely to be one million!
Of course, Ye Ling may also have nothing and be in debt, but he crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty this time to go against the sky, and life and death have long been put out of the way, if he doesn't succeed, it will make him more painful than death.
But then again, this is not to say that Ye Ling is stronger than Wu Yong, but that the two have their own strengths, and one is more interested in the big situation and looks to the future; The other pays attention to details and grasps the present, and the two sides are complementary to each other.
And this is also the case in history, those emperors who are famous in history are almost without exception are eloquent and strategic, but they can never get down-to-earth, conscientious strategists around them, the most famous example is Uncle Liu Huang and Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bei was still selling straw shoes when he had already set up the ambition to restore the glory of the Han family, and Zhuge Liang meticulously realized this dream for him, although it was not completely successful in the end.
