Where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Duling Town is located in a remote area, there are also rivers and lakes. I can't remember which book, Li Yanqing read a novel when he was bored in his previous life, about a small town on the Yangtze River during the Northern and Southern Dynasties...... Although Duling Town is small, it has all kinds of organs, and it is quite similar to the world in the novel.
As early as on the way to Lingnan, Li Yanqing was thinking about how to open up the situation here.
He focused his eyes on Duling Town, hoping to find a breakthrough through this small river and lake.
At present, it seems that he has found ...... "I'm afraid that the results of Ma Dou's side will not be able to come in a day or two, but at least we know by now that this slang is not monolithic." ”
Ma Dou is the owner of the hotel.
He promised Li Yanqing that he would find a source of goods for him as soon as possible.
After Li Yanqing returned to his residence, he brought Shen Guang over.
After telling Shen Guang in detail about what happened today, he said in a deep voice: "But there must be a reason why Mai Zizhong suddenly ordered the closure of the market. I didn't pay attention to it when we chatted with Tianzhu people yesterday, but Mai Zizhong's closure of the market made me have some ideas. Most of the shops that are closed today are from the Jiaozhi area, including the Tianzhu people, who also sell goods through Jiaozhi...... Did Mai Zizhong deliberately target Jiaozhi? ”
Shen Guang thought for a while, "It's very likely!" ”
"If it's for Cochin, it doesn't seem to be."
Li Yanqing scratched his head, and after wandering in the house for a long time, he suddenly said: "Jiaozhi is now Xiao Miao's territory, whether it is Mai Zizhong or Ning Changzhen, it is biased towards the Xiao Sui court." The two sides are joining forces to fight the enemy, and it stands to reason that Mai Zizhong should not target Jiaozhi. Unless ......"
"Jiaozhi wants to return to Tang!"
Shen Guang blurted out, causing Li Yanqing to suddenly smile appreciatively.
Shen Guang didn't read much, and he couldn't read too many words. But this guy is very clever, very smart, and extremely sharp.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Yanqing came to Lingnan this time with only Shen Guang.
At least when necessary, there can be a person to consult...... "Presumably Mai Zizhong has already sensed the movement of the toe, so he will make a move." Shen Guang thought for a while, shook his head again, and said, "But this seems to be something wrong again!" Even if Mai Zizhong wants to do it, wouldn't this be a startling snake? ”
Li Yanqing sat down with a smile and brought himself a bowl of water.
"Perhaps, he's going to do it right away.
In this way, what he is afraid of is not to startle the snake, but to leak the news. Sealing Duling Town is equivalent to blinding the eyes of Jiaozhi.
However, this is still our speculation, and it should not be true.
You have tried to collude with the local group leaders these days, and those people are well-informed, and they can't say that they can gain something. ”
Let Shen Guang come forward, naturally because he is proficient in the ways of the rivers and lakes.
The leaders of the regiments everywhere are all characters with lively eyelids and cunning ghosts. If it weren't for a veteran who knew the way of the rivers and lakes in the past, they would have seen the clues if they couldn't get three or two sentences. This is also the second reason why Li Yanqing only brought Shen Guang over this time. Don't look at Shen Guang who has been away from the rivers and lakes for many years, but he is still familiar with the things in the rivers and lakes.
If it is replaced by Liu Qing or others, even if Li Yanqing passes, it will be difficult to ensure that he will not show flaws.
Li Yanqing's visit to Lingnan this time can be said to be without a single soldier. All the three million victorious troops stayed in Xiangzhou, and most of the people who accompanied them were Jianghu figures secretly recruited by Qilintai. Even including the majestic sea, there has been a period of time on the wharf of Tongyuan City. With the cover of these old rivers and lakes, Li Yanqing may arrive in Lingnan smoothly.
Shen Guang nodded in agreement and was ready to act.
Before leaving, Li Yanqing suddenly said again: "Old Shen, be careful." The situation in Lingnan and the Central Plains is different, so don't show any flaws. ”
"Childe, just rest assured, Shen Guang can save it."
With that, Shen Guang said goodbye and left.
After lingering in the study for a while, Li Yanqing sat down next to the bookcase and fell into deep thought again.
Opening up the situation in Lingnan is, of course, his current task.
But he still needs to do a few things to try to guarantee his popularity in the Central Plains.
This time, unlike previous fights, a good scale needs to be maintained...... He can't steal the limelight from Li Shimin, so that Li Shimin can't compete with Li Jiancheng when he returns to Chang'an.
At the same time, he couldn't let Li Shimin steal all the limelight.
In the battle of Pingnan, Li Yanqing must get a piece of the pie. At least, this Lingnan merit needs to be included in his hands and cannot be divided by Li Shimin. That is, we cannot completely rely on Li Shimin, and we must rely on Li Shimin. This contradiction made Li Yanqing feel very headache.
Perhaps, is this Li Jing's test for me?
The ancients often said: The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king...... It's a two-pronged choice. Li Yanqing really wanted to subdue Li Jing, but he still needed to make more efforts before he showed the means to convince Li Jing!
Push open the window and stand inside the window.
Li Yanqing let out a long breath, only to feel that this gloomy sky was not depressed......―――――――――――――――――――――― and saw that the New Year was similar to a day.
There's no news from Ma Dou yet. Li Yanqing didn't urge, he would go to the shed to have some breakfast every morning, and he didn't have any communication with Ma Dou other than that. He also knows that at this time, this kind of thing, cannot be done overnight.
On the contrary, Shen Guang quickly opened up the situation in Duling Town.
He made a good sword and convinced the head of the Duling Town Regiment Yu Platoon, and the two were like brothers, talking about everything.
This Yu Paojun is also a person with a story.
According to Shen Guang, Yu Paijun's fluent Luoyang dialect and Shen Guang hit it off at first sight.
"Childe, I noticed that although Yu Paijun is only a regiment leader, he is full of poetry and books. This person should be from the army, and he is not bad. It's just that I don't know why he ended up in Duling Town and became the leader. A few times I tried to talk to him, he immediately diverted from the topic. Moreover, he has several cronies around him......"
Shen Guang hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "I think it seems that he is also a sharp warrior who has experienced battlefield fighting." ”
The remote Lingnan, like the rivers and lakes of Duling Town, seems to be a very story-telling group head, adding some sharp soldiers...... This Yu Platoon Army seems to be really interesting.
Li Yanqing thought for a while, "Does he know your identity?" ”
"I only told him that I was accompanying my son to harvest.
As for the identity of the childe...... I still use the identity of the Zhang family. However, I can feel that Yu Paijun seems to be a little repulsed by the Zhang family, but not completely. Anyway, he and I are very affectionate, but there seems to be a bit of a gap. ”
"Then he ...... Xuanhua"
"He should know Xuanhua very well."
Shen Guangzheng said: "I heard that this Yu Pai Army also has a sworn brother in Xuanhua, who is also the head of the local regiment, and he also works in the yamen, so he has some strength. But I didn't dare to ask too deeply, lest he suspect me. ”
Yu Pai Army?
Li Yanqing pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Can you find a way to let him meet me?" ”
"Meet?"
Li Yanqing nodded and said, "I think this Yu Pai Army should not be an ordinary person.
Judging from what you told me before, he may not really reject the Zhang family, I am afraid that he is the Zhang family's assistant Sui Yang.
In this way, you hook up with him again and probe his tone.
Don't talk to him about me yet, just invite him to dinner...... When the time comes, I will have the right to make a chance encounter, which naturally will not arouse suspicion. ”
Shen Guang didn't understand why Li Yanqing was so interested in Yu Paijun's affairs.
But since Li Yanqing commanded, he naturally would not refuse.
In this way, Shen Guang continued to contact Yu Paijun to find a suitable opportunity. And Li Yanqing is still patiently waiting for the news of Ma Dou.
Seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is coming.
This day, Li Yanqing was about to go out, and Liu Qing hurriedly came.
He panted and said, "Childe, just now Brother Shen asked people to bring a message back, he and Yu Paijun were drinking in the restaurant at noon, let me give you a leave." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Yanqing suddenly understood.
This is Shen Guang who feels that the opportunity has come, and let Li Yanqing decide for himself whether to go over to meet with Yu Paijun.
Although Shen Guang didn't say which restaurant it was in, Duling Town was so big, and there was only one that could be called a restaurant.
Li Yanqing thought about it and immediately made up his mind.
"In that case, let's take a trip too...... Liu Qing, go and call the shopkeeper, and say that I invited him to the restaurant for a drink. ”
