Chapter 176: Tacit Understanding

"Elder......" Wang Shen smiled bitterly and touched his chin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I'm an elder, isn't that a joke?

I'm only twenty-eight years old now, and in modern society, although I have made small achievements, I talk and laugh with big people. But when the grandmothers saw me, they all shouted from Xiao Wang and Xiao Wang.

Actually, I'm just a young man!

But, in this damn Song Dynasty, everyone is fucking precocious. At the age of twelve, even if you are an adult, you can lead soldiers to fight, become an official, get married, and have children. As soon as he is over forty, he can call himself an old man.

That's right, according to relevant information, the average life expectancy of ordinary people in the Two Song Dynasty is forty-five years old, and when it reaches seventy, it is the real ancient rarity. Unlike modern society, the seventy-year-old man and old lady are surprisingly well, squeezing the bus and subway, which is called a violent. During the morning and evening rush hours, it is easy and pleasant to turn over office white-collar workers and dead fat houses.

Since he became this defensive envoy and made a great name on the battlefield, Wang Shen's prestige is extremely high. When the people below call him, they usually say: "The military envoy is his old man" and "The military envoy is his old man." Wang Shen was very annoyed, and there was nothing he could do.

I just did some small work, and I was still very ashamed in my heart, how could I be regarded as a grower?

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he raised his hand gently: "You all get up and talk, don't worry, you won't be embarrassed by you, but there is a place to go?" ”

Xiao Tao and the three of them got up boldly and replied, "The master asked us to wait outside the city." ”

Wang Shen nodded: "Okay, come on, take them to live in the house under the number in Pang Village, so that they can be treated." ”

After the three of them thanked and retreated, Lu Can finally couldn't help but ask: "Military envoy, what is written on Lu Benzhong's letter?" ”

Wang Shen: "Ziyu, you can just look at it." ”

After taking the letter, Lu Can looked at it, but he was puzzled in his heart.

Actually, there is nothing on these two letters. Kong Yanzhou's letter was nothing more than scolding Wang Shen for being a well-dressed beast, and saying that he had enough food and food, and if Wang Shen knew each other, he would immediately withdraw his troops back to Huangzhou, otherwise he would definitely make the Sizhou army hit his head on the Qichun city wall. As for marrying his daughter, can I marry you, a brute?

Lu Benzhong's letter also said that there were many soldiers in the city and a lot of food, and if Wang Shen still had mercy on the lives of his soldiers, he should not make unnecessary sacrifices. The backbone of the two armies is the elite of the Western Army, and they are from the same family, how can they fight in the same room? He should persuade Kong Yanzhou to accept the imperial court's recruitment, defend against foreign enemies, and recover the fallen land. Major General Kong Xiankong also had this intention, and would definitely convince his father. Please also ask Wang Shen not to attack the city, everyone thinks that peace is precious.

Lu Can is a straight gentleman, and his face immediately turned red with anger, and he said angrily: "Lu Benzhong, as an official of the imperial court and a famous man in the world, is trapped in a thief camp, and he does not think of martyrdom for the country, but instead recruits for the Confucian thieves, resulting in heavy casualties in our army, which is like a rebellion. This time, I also wrote a letter to say that these words were not in this tone, which was really Sven scum, and I was deeply disgusted. ”

Wang Shen didn't agree, and asked rhetorically: "By the way, this time the three concubines in Lu Benzhong went out of the city to deliver the letter without bringing anything with them?" ”

Lu Can: "Naturally, there are still a lot of things. Lu Benzhong aided in the abuse, but he collected a lot of property in the city, and carried three major backs, all of which were valuable jewelry and jade. ”

Wang Shen: "Oh, in this way, what else is there besides gold, silver, pearls and jade?" For example, books or something, you must know that Lu Benzhong is a bookworm. ”

"There are really a lot of military envoys who say this." Lu Can replied: "That little peach's concubine carried a good book with her, and when I searched the back basket before, I found a lot of rare books from the Tang Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, he became angry again: "These books are all good things that are hard to find, Qichun is an important place for culture and education, and there were many readers in the past, so he must have snatched them from the scholars." ”

"Hehe, that's interesting, you go down, I have my own teaching."

When Lu Can left, the smile on Wang Shen's face became even stronger, and he couldn't help muttering: "Good Lu Benzhong, bet at both ends, really shrewd." Mr. Donglai, if you do this, you are not afraid of being ridiculed by the world. cough, he is a famous person, Shilin is his old friends and acquaintances, and he controls public opinion. In the future, it will not be that they will write whatever they want. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shen gently patted his forehead, feeling helpless. It's just that he is a rogue like Kong Yanzhou, Zhang Yong, and Cao Cheng, who is rampant. There are too many things I want, and many times I have to think about fame. In this way, there is really no way to take that old man Lu.

Lu Benzhong didn't write anything on this letter, which is naturally understandable. How to say that it is also his handwritten letter, you can't be cautious, otherwise, once it falls into Kong Yanzhou's hands, the murderous nature of the surname Kong will cut at Old Man Lu with a knife if he can't say it.

However, the information revealed between the lines of Thawa's letter is quite interesting and very valuable, depending on how you read and analyze it.

After reading the letter carefully, Wang Shen quickly picked out a few key words from it, "senseless sacrifice", "major general", and "persuasion". ”

The meaning of the word senseless sacrifice is that although there was a great epidemic in the city and many people starved to death, Kong Yanzhou's main force did not suffer much loss, and there was still a certain combat effectiveness, and the city defense system was perfect. At this time, if the Sizhou army continues to attack the city, it will definitely pay a lot of price. This matter is easy to understand, the food and medicinal materials in the city have been requisitioned by Kong Yanzhou, and his troops can still have enough to eat, even if they are sick, they can be treated.

The meaning of the word major general is that Kong Xian is fine now, but he should have lost Kong Yanzhou's trust and been deprived of military power, otherwise Lu Benzhong would not have taken him out alone in the letter to say the last sentence, isn't that nonsense?

persuasion, which is even more interesting. Persuasion, Kong Xian is now under suspicion, and if he tries to persuade Kong Yanzhou to surrender and accept Zhao'an, you can imagine what the result will be. Perhaps, he didn't go to his father to talk about Zhao'an. Lu Benzhong just made an analogy, using this to convey a message to Wang Shen, and he would find a way to provoke the Kong family's father and son to fight.

This is also what Wang Shen, a prophetic traverser, is preparing to do, and Old Man Lu actually wants to go with him.

This old guy really has enough brains, and I don't know what tricks he can finish in the end?

This time, his three concubines brought so much gold, silver and jewelry out of the city and waited, obviously Lu Benzhong already had an idea and was starting to do it.

"I can look forward to it!" Wang Shen laughed, this was the first time he had laughed so happily since the beginning of this war: "Old man Lu also knows that he offends me Wang Shen is extremely cautious and wants to save his life!" ”

"But what about his temperament?"

"Do you want a face?"

"However, I, Wang Shen, can't refuse his conditions, and maintain a tacit understanding with him, it feels really uncomfortable to be calculated!"
