Chapter 218: The Black-bellied Man in the Shadows

Wang Huaqiang was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "Shiju? How could he be made a manager? He is just a six-grade civilian official, who can command the entire Lingnan counterinsurgency army? ”

Yang Su nodded, and took out another Tang newspaper from the desk: "Originally, this letter arrived a few days ago, and the tone of Gao Servant was not so tough at that time, but this Tang newspaper that came this morning said that the situation in Lingnan was rapidly deteriorating, and Shi Weihuan, the assassin of Guangzhou, died in the middle of the war when he exterminated the rebels, and now the rebels are arrogant and have begun to besiege Panyu City, the capital of Guangzhou.

Your friend Pei Shiju was originally sent by Gao Servant to inspect the Xiangzhou area, because Gao Servant was worried that the land of Jingxiang would also be like Jiangnan, maybe Pei Shiju had a secret order from Gao Servant Shooting, giving him the right to act cheaply and recruit troops on the spot, and now the situation in Lingnan is rapidly deteriorating, and Wang Shiji's Jingzhou army is unable to fight because of miasma, so he can only rely on the soldiers temporarily recruited by Pei Shiju in the Xiangzhou area to rescue Lingnan.

Wang joined the army, Gao Servant shot clearly said in this Tang newspaper that the Lingnan expedition, Pei Shiju lacked a resourceful and strategic person around him, this person's identity should not be too high, otherwise it would be easy to replace Pei Shiju, and he would be proficient in the art of war, and the relationship with Pei Shiju should not be problematic. ”

As soon as Wang Huaqiang heard that it was Pei Shiju who was in command this time, he sighed, he was reasonable, he had no reason to refuse to go to Lingnan, the two had cooperated and had a friendship in Turkic affairs, and more importantly, the two of them now have the same official position, and the age difference is not big, so they can support each other in the officialdom in the future. Thigh-hugging is a must. But build relationships with colleagues who are qualified and able to compete with you. It is also appropriate to be friends for life.

Wang Huaqiang nodded helplessly: "Since everything has been said about this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, then the general has no choice but to comply, but this time I can't witness the triumphant return of the marshal, it's really a pity." also missed the opportunity to learn the art of war from the commander, and the general only regretted this. ”

Yang Su laughed, stood up, and patted Wang Huaqiang's shoulder: "Wang joins the army." The art of war is not learned by watching people fight, but by learning and applying it when you command the battle, your strategy is enough, but you don't have a chance to take charge of the army alone, this time to lead the army to Lingnan to fight, it will be a good exercise, stronger than in me. ”

Wang Huaqiang asked, "When will you leave?" ”

Yang Su pondered for a moment: "The military situation is urgent, you can go on the road, I will send Mai Tiecane to escort you all the way." This time, he followed you across the river to reconnoitre, and he also made a great contribution. There were also gains in the next few battles, if there were no accidents. I will help him fight for a martial arts position from the sixth rank, as for you, after you get to Pei Shiju, maybe the appointment of a new official position will come down, and the next time we meet again, you should be at least a sixth-rank official. ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart blossomed, but his face was still silent, and he bowed and said, "Thank you Marshal Yang, the last general will set off." As soon as he turned around, he walked out of the county office quickly.

Yang Su looked at Wang Huaqiang's figure in the distance, the smile on his face gradually solidified, and then fell into contemplation, a young man in his twenties, with bright eyes but a bit of gloomy face, walked out of the corner, it was the one who appeared just now who joined the army. He had been hiding in the shadows all the time, and he remained here when the generals had withdrawn, like a silent ghost.

The young man said to Yang Su: "Dashuai, the emperor asked you to return to the dynasty yesterday, but you are here to discuss with this king the army about entering Minyue, do you intend to disobey the order and continue the southern expedition?" ”

Yang Su glanced at this young man, his name is Feng Lun, a native of Bohai, he is Gao Xi's hometown, his grandfather has been the prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his father is also the current Tongzhou Thorn History, which can be regarded as a northern clan.

This young man is outstanding, especially outstanding in writing, and can handle all kinds of official documents in an orderly manner, and has become an indispensable pen by his side.

Yang Su smiled slightly: "Feng joined the army, I heard that when you went to Wang Guoqing to talk to him about the terms of surrender last month, the sea boat you were on had an accident, you fell into the water, and almost drowned, and finally you were rescued by another boat accompanying you, why didn't you report it to me for such a big thing?" ”

Feng Lun said calmly: "Dashuai, this is a private matter of the humble position, and it has nothing to do with official affairs, Wang Guoqing's response is what the humble position needs to report to you, as for how to go to the humble position, how to return, it is not worth mentioning." When he said this, he smiled strangely, "Besides, how can you die so easily if you haven't made any achievements in your humble position!"

Yang Su laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Feng Lang is really bold, the strategy of pacifying Minyue proposed by Wang Senjun just now is almost the same as the strategy you offered me before, do you have anything to say?" ”

Feng Lun smiled slightly: "Wang is indeed talented and courageous, if it is in troubled times, he must have a chance to get ahead, but ......"

When Feng Lun said this, he suddenly stopped talking. Yang Su nodded, he understood the meaning of Feng Lun's words, although Wang Huaqiang is talented, but his background is too low, he has no foundation, and Feng Lun is a child of a family who can't be compared, in this kind of Sui Dynasty unified the sea, background is more important than a person's talent, like Wang Huaqiang, there is a chance to go south and barely get a five or six rank official in this battle, and if you want to rise in the future, it will be difficult to ascend to the sky.

Yang Su's eyes fell on Feng Lun's body, this young man's gloomy and dark temperament is the same as Wang Huaqiang, although the ability to fight is not as good as Wang Huaqiang, but he is a civilian talent who is born to deal with official documents, in the peaceful era, the room for rise is greater, this time he followed the army to the south, and there is no shortage of martial arts, and the future is limitless.

The last time he fell into the sea, he floated on the sea for a day and a night with a broken piece of wood before he was rescued, and when he was rescued, even the skin and flesh on his chest were ground off by those wooden thorns, and his sternum was exposed, but he still clung to the wood, which made people shudder to think about it, this is a person with the same strong desire to go up and the desire to survive, and it is precisely because of this that Yang Su finally made up his mind to choose to support Feng Lun instead of Wang Huaqiang.

A smile appeared on Yang Su's lips: "Feng Lang, Wang Guoqing is also hesitant now, he told you last time that he would only fall to our army when Gao Zhizhi and others were defeated and surrendered, do you believe this?" ”

Feng Lun shook his head: "I don't believe it, the mountains and rivers in Fujian are dangerous, as long as you send troops to block the Xianxia Six Ridges in the north, and defend it according to the danger, you can cut off the road for the army to go south from Zhejiang, if you don't fight, I'm afraid that Wang Guoqing will not be so obedient and take the initiative to kill Gao Zhizhi and others to vote." ”

Yang Su said "oh": "So, before our army enters Fujian, we still have to fight with Wang Guoqing in this Xianxia Liuling?" ”

Feng Lun said: "No, I think that it is the best way to go by sea, out of Wenzhou, and take Quanzhou directly, Wang Wenjin also has a lot of sea ships in Wenzhou, after defeating them, you can send 20,000 elite soldiers to Fujian from the seaway, the main force of the enemy army is in the north of Xianxia Liuling, you must know that the rear is occupied, and you will definitely collapse without a fight, and there is no need for us to urge at that time, Wang Guoqing will also take the initiative to offer the heads of these Zhejiang anti-thieves and surrender to our army." ”

Yang Su nodded with satisfaction: "Then you see, after pacifying Minyue, how to deal with Wang Guoqing and others, and this Jiangnan personnel, if you make suggestions to the emperor in my position, how will you arrange it?" ”

Feng Lun glanced outside the door and confirmed that no one could hear the conversation between the two of them, so he stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Wang Guoqing wants to recruit An first and let him be the governor of Quanzhou, but this person is too powerful in Fujian to stay for a long time, and Fujian needs to send a general to guard it, especially to collect and suppress the coastal sea ships, so as to really cut off Wang Guoqing's roots, and when he has no capital to go to sea, he will let him die violently."
