Chapter 408: Persuasion
"I don't know what suggestions Wei Jianjun has for our army's next move." After having a little judgment in his heart, Li Xiaoyi still asked the question he wanted to ask the most, and it was also a question that he was concerned about his future.
"This ........."
Hearing Li Xiaoyi's inquiry, Wei Yuanzhong was a little hesitant.
The so-called true Buddha does not tell lies in front of him, because for insiders, any lies and quibbles are meaningless, and even bring unnecessary backlash to himself, but for Li Xiaoyi, Wei Yuanzhong is not sure if he is the true Buddha, if he really says his thoughts, he will listen to his own words.
"Why, could it be that Wei Jianjun still has any concerns."
Li Xiaoyi is worthy of being a human spirit, Wei Yuanzhong's face changed, and he immediately realized the key to the topic.
"Ah........ No, no, no, the chief manager misunderstood, so-and-so is just ........ Just thinking about how to speak. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Yuanzhong gritted his teeth fiercely, as if he had made up a great determination, and sighed, "Okay, since the chief manager wants to know, his subordinates can say some of their own opinions, and I hope that the chief manager will give me more advice." ”
"Please also ask Wei Jianjun to speak freely, and he will definitely be as good as a stream."
"The chief manager, my subordinates feel that the current priority of our army should be to move south quickly, and take advantage of the fact that Xu Jingye and other rebels are just rising, and when they are still in order to achieve the atmosphere, they will be quickly strangled, so that they can live up to the trust of the Queen Mother and the imperial court, and also allow the people of Jiangnan to get peace as soon as possible." Wei Yuanzhong said.
Hearing Wei Yuanzhong's words, Li Xiaoyi was unwilling for a while, although he also knew that what Wei Yuanzhong said was extremely reasonable, but every time he thought of the opponent Xu Jingye he was about to face, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Wei Jianjun, this rapid southward movement, isn't it a little inappropriate, Xu Jingye and other traitors have just started an incident, and the momentum is flourishing, plus Xu Jingye is also a famous general, if our army is too tired when marching, even if it arrives in Yangzhou, I am afraid it will be extremely weak, and how to fight with the imposing rebels, in this way, wouldn't it become a hurry to not reach?" Li Xiaoyi asked.
Who is Wei Yuanzhong, that is the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, who can withstand the pressure of all parties during the Wu Zetian period and become the prime minister, which shows Wei Yuanzhong's ability and knowledge, therefore, as soon as Li Xiaoyi said this, Wei Yuanzhong understood the true thoughts in Li Xiaoyi's heart.
After knowing that Li Xiaoyi was so hesitant because of his fear of Xu Jingye, Wei Yuanzhong suddenly became a little interested in his heart, now that he knew Li Xiaoyi's thoughts, he believed that he could persuade Li Xiaoyi to dispel this idea and return to normal.
"I don't know what the chief manager thinks, why the imperial court or the queen mother wants to use you as the chief manager!" Wei Yuanzhong asked.
"This ......... This should be the trust of the Queen Mother! Hearing Wei Yuanzhong's inquiry, Li Xiaoyi was also a little dazed for a while, he also couldn't figure out this question, at first he really thought that he was letting him get this errand because of Wu Meiniang's trust, but then the more he thought about it, the more it was not a taste, and he hesitated for a long time, thinking about many possibilities, but there was no accurate answer.
Without waiting for Li Xiaoyi to answer, Wei Yuanzhong replied: "The main reason why the imperial court or the Empress Dowager sent you to be the chief administrator of this rebellion is because you are a relative of the royal family, and Xu Jingye and other rebels came under the slogan of restoring His Majesty's rights and letting the Empress Dowager hand over the rights in his hands, so this is the important matter of the imperial court or the Empress Dowager entrusting you to quell the rebellion."
In other words, the safety of the world really depends on this decisive battle to be completely stable. In addition, the country has been peaceful for a long time, and the people of the world have heard of this rebellion, and they all pay attention to it, hoping to wait for the good news of the rebellion and restore the stability and peace of the world, but now, the army has stopped and not advanced, do you think it is appropriate to treat the expectations of the world and the entrustment of the imperial court, in case the imperial court sends another general to replace you, what words will you use to relieve yourself from the sin of leading the army? Maybe there will be villains in front of the court or the queen mother, slandering the chief manager, saying that you have colluded with the rebels, if that is the case, but it will be very bad, so the best way is to march quickly, make great contributions, and use facts to prove your ability and rumors, otherwise, I am afraid that disaster is coming. ”
"This .......... This......... The"
Li Xiaoyi's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, if it weren't for the state of mind that he had been trained for many years and still had some city government, I was afraid that he would be scared to pee his pants on the spot.
Looking at Li Xiaoyi's extremely embarrassed appearance, Wei Yuanzhong couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, just now after understanding Li Xiaoyi's true thoughts, he had already decided to speak intimidating, for a person who has fear in his heart, the best way is to let people see something that makes him more afraid, only in this way can he get rid of his previous fear and get on the right track.
Just when Wei Yuanzhong was secretly rejoicing in his heart, Li Xiaoyi also returned to normal, after all, he was a person who had stood in the court for many years, and even if he had more fear in his heart, he quickly adjusted.
I saw Li Xiaoyi get up from the chair with a straight face, walked in front of Wei Yuanzhong, saluted him respectfully, and said, "Thank you Duke Wei for saving your life, a toothless and unforgettable, without Duke Wei's warning words, I am afraid that it is not far from the head to the ground, and please accept the filial piety of Duke Wei." ”
"Hey..... What is the chief manager doing, as a supervising army, it is a duty to give advice to the chief manager, and he should not be so gifted by the chief manager, and please hurry up, in addition, his subordinates feel that the chief manager should order the army to go south quickly as soon as possible, otherwise, if Xu Jingye really takes Runzhou, even if we arrive in Yangzhou, I am afraid that we will have a lot of pressure. Wei Yuanzhong said.
"Don't worry, Duke Wei immediately ordered the army to pull out the camp and quickly move south until the rebel lair." Li Xiaoyi replied.
......................
Late at night, Runzhou City
In that huge inn, Xu Jingyou and several others were sitting around a bean-sized oil lamp, and on the table between them was a small drawing with dense things.
"General, during this time, we have figured out all the situations in Runzhou City, where there is the Tang Army, where is the place where the troops live, where is the place where it is easy to hide, the brothers have explored it clearly, as long as we can successfully pass this news to the general manager, it is easy to take Runzhou."
One of them said excitedly.
Hearing this voice, the rest of the people were also quite excited, after all, if this matter is really successful, they are the greatest credit, and it is a sure thing to be promoted and make a fortune.
It's a pity that unlike these people, Xu Jingyou's face didn't have the slightest smile, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "How is the city gate, but there are any abnormal changes." ”
The person in charge of monitoring the city gate hurriedly replied, "General Hui, according to your instructions, no matter day or night, we have sent people to monitor the four city gates, and we have roughly figured out the rules of the Tang army, as before, it is very normal, there is no abnormality, three days ago, the Tang army was double the strength of the city gate, and the city gate will only be open for four hours a day, but in the past three days, the strength of the Tang army at the city gate has returned to normal, and the time to open the door every day has also become normal, it seems, The Tang army in the city has really relaxed its vigilance. ”
For this person's answer, Xu Jingyou nodded secretly, it stands to reason that the situation in the city has been figured out, and there is nothing suspicious about the Tang Army at the city gate, and the rest of the matter, he only needs to pass the information back to Xu Jingye, wait for Xu Jingye's order, come and take Runzhou City in one fell swoop, but I don't know how, Xu Jingyou always has a feeling of unease in his heart.
He didn't know what caused this feeling, and even many times, he himself suspected that this feeling was a bit ridiculous, but after years of battlefield experience, he still trusted this feeling of his own.
After being silent for a long time, he suddenly asked, "When you are exploring the city these days, have you heard any suspicious news, or have you received any useful news, you have thought about it carefully, and you have thought of it, and you will be rewarded." ”
"This ..........."
Hearing Xu Jingyou's words, the rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, after all, they didn't do it themselves, but analyzed it according to the news passed back by their subordinates, so as to come to the conclusion that Xu Jingyou's sudden question made them a little speechless.
Looking at the expressions of several people, Xu Jingyou also knew that he was a little too embarrassed for them, but the strong feeling of uneasiness in his heart made him have to do it.
Just when Xu Jingyou was about to give up, he suddenly heard a person say, "General Hui, when you say this, your subordinates remember, there is indeed one thing that makes him feel very strange, according to the news we got before, this Runzhou City originally only belonged to Runzhou's government soldiers, less than 10,000, but the spies we arranged outside the Runzhou City Barracks replied that the daily procurement of food and other materials by the Runzhou Barracks far exceeded the scale of 10,000 people, and even reached the scale of nearly 40,000 people. You see if there are reinforcements from Runzhou City, but no one knows. ”
"Uh-huh..........."
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the news, Xu Jingyou's face instantly became extremely excited, grabbed the subordinate's arm, and said urgently, "This news is true." ”
"It shouldn't be wrong, this is the news that Wang Wu sent back, and you should also know that although Wang Wu's kid usually likes to joke, he is extremely serious about what is right, and he has never made a mistake." The subordinate replied.
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's it, hahaha, hahaha........... Found it, finally found it, finally found it, it seems that the feeling of a certain is right, this Runzhou City is weird, if nothing else, this is the weirdness. ”
Xu Jingyou, who received an accurate answer, suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, not at all worried that his laughter would be extremely far away at night.
Looking at Xu Jingyou who was out of shape like this, those subordinates were a little confused, but they knew that it must be their own general who thought of something extremely important, and this matter was a matter of life and death for them and the entire Xu army.
After a while, Xu Jingyou returned to normal, regained his previous high-spirited appearance, glanced at these subordinates, and ordered, "From now on, everyone starts from the military camp as a breakthrough, and makes every effort to find out all the news related to the military camp, and we must find out who the person who is coming, and what kind of capable person is it, so that a small Runzhou city can easily block the attack of more than 100,000 troops in a few days." ”
"Subordinates receive orders."
..............................
"Lang Jun, I'm afraid our news has leaked." In the courtyard of the mansion, Duan Jian sat there with extreme limitations, using the tea drinking tools he made himself, cooking rich but extremely light tea.
This is Duan Jian's contribution in the past two years, because he is not used to the method of making tea as traditional Chinese medicine in this era, Duan Jian made a set of extremely exquisite tea sets according to the tools used to cook tea in later generations, not only that, but he also fried some good tea by himself, you know, the entire land south of the Yangtze River, but there are countless good teas, but the demand for tea at this time is not as huge as that of later generations, and many famous good teas in later generations are just wild trees that grow in the wild at this time.
For the Tang Dynasty, which was extremely short of drinks, this light tea was instantly loved by everyone once it was launched, and even Wang Wanjun and Su Xiuer, who did not like to drink tea before, were also loyal customers of this tea, and as for those Jiangnan scholars who came first all day long, this was greatly favored by them.
And this kind of tea has also quickly been sought after by everyone, but unfortunately, the process of frying tea leaves has been treasured by Duan Jian as a secret recipe, except for a few close friends with Duan Jian, outsiders want to get it, can only buy it through the Wang family's shop.
Many people even use one or two tea leaves and one or two gold to describe this kind of tea, just the profit from selling tea makes Duan Jian and the Wang family make a lot of money.
The words of happiness did not affect Duan Jian, Duan Jian was still calmly brewing tea, and it was not until a moment later, after the clear tea was poured into the teacup made of fine bamboo and wood, that Duan Jian took a long breath and replied.
"It's leaked, I know that Xu Jingyou is a talent, but I can do this, it seems that I really underestimated his ability, yes, it's really good, let's talk about it, what is the flaw there." Duan Jian still had a calm face, and even asked with a little smile.
