Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Yellow Sparrow (II)

"Then Su Mingzhe has always been cautious in doing things, if it weren't for the real evidence" Zhu Chongba was anxious, and blurted out a string of big truths, and then he quickly closed his mouth again, and asked in a daze, "Sir, what does Mr. mean, I want the kid to blame too much, Yu"

"Those who have achieved great things can not be detained by small sections." Zhu Sheng let out a long breath and shook his head to interrupt.

The lord of his own family is good in other aspects, but in his temperament, it is always difficult to get rid of the spirit of the rivers and lakes, always thinking about doing things alone, but he doesn't know that as long as you sit in a certain position, you are no longer alone, and it is impossible to have anything to bear alone.

"This matter is agreed by Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, and the specific executor is Yang Bi, the director of the Gong Wei Division, since Yangzhou has cut down all the details of several Gong Wei Divisions, he must have enough evidence." Zhu Chongba lowered his eyelids and added in a low voice, (Note 1)

The price of the artillery sold by the Huai'an Army to the outside world remains high, and the firearms equipped by the Huai'an Army itself are far more sophisticated than those sold to the outside world, and the Hezhou Army has always been at a loss in the development of long-range artillery, so he had no choice but to adopt a very risky strategy and sent someone to Yangzhou to steal the division.

The loss of a few fine works is not a big deal, Gong Weisi is already on the right track, and will soon be able to re-extend their tentacles into the places they want to go, but how to explain to the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion made Zhu Chongba scratch his head, speaking from his heart, with his current strength, Zhu Chongba really did not grasp the short and long competition with the Huai'an army, even if most of the main forces of the Huai'an army were attracted by the detachment, the Fourth Army and the Chuzhou Army of Mao Guisuo's department who stayed in the rear joined forces to move westward, which could still bring disaster to Anqing.

"Then Yang Xiwu, the head of the Gong Wei Division, used to be your personal secretary." Zhu Sheng's tone still did not change in the slightest, as if he didn't know the comparison of the strength of his own family and Huaiyang, "Judging from his ordinary style, he should be a character who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and he can also understand the priorities." ”

"This?" Zhu Chongba was stunned, and his face showed obvious unbearability.

According to Zhu Sheng's suggestion, Yang Bi Yang Xiwu, the head of the Gong Wei Division, gave an explanation to the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion by himself, and handed over his head to the envoy to bring back, so that Su Mingzhe and others could calm the anger of Su Mingzhe and others about their secret tips for spying on firearms, but Yang Bi has always been loyal to himself, if he can't withstand the pressure of the Huai'an Army, he will throw him out to be the scapegoat that the Cross Sect said, and what face will he have to face the other brothers under his command in the future.

"The name Yang Bi is not good, it's really not good, Bi Zhi, the snare also, Yang Zhi, Jumu also, Bi Zhiluo, and the birds are all gone." Seeing that Zhu Chongba was indecisive, Zhu Sheng glanced at him lightly and added very calmly.

"You keep saying?" Zhu Chongba's face was immediately sunny, staring at a pair of Danfeng eyes, dancing with his hands, "Find a guy who looks similar to Yang Bi and kill him, bring the head back to the envoy of the Huai'an Army, and then let Yang Bi change his name, go elsewhere for a few more days, and then slowly compensate him not too late." ”

"Well, exactly." The children can be taught, Zhu Sheng's old face immediately showed a relieved expression, "It would be better if you could come up with something that would make Huaiyang's side tempt them, after all, the two families are now allies, not enemies, as long as the storage of your side is still beneficial to them, they should not be willing to bear the notoriety of brotherhood." ”

"Hiss ,,。" Zhu Chongba inhaled gently.

On his side, what can make the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion tempted is probably grain and iron ore, especially the latter, which is a necessary material for the war, and Huai'an, Yangzhou and Gaoyou and other places do not produce iron.

But at present, there is such a huge difference in strength between the Huai'an army and the Hezhou army, and he is still rushing to send the iron ore over, isn't he afraid that he will die too slowly, and the Huaiyang Hundred Workshops will take the iron ore to smelt into fine steel, make it into weapons, and just carry it to kill the door.

Just as he was hesitating, Zhu Sheng's hoarse voice came from his ears again, "With the current strength of our army, can we prohibit traders from the two places?"

"Of course not." Zhu Chongba didn't think about it, and responded very simply, the Huai'an army, of course, needs the grain and pig iron produced in Hezhou and Anqing, but the Hezhou army is more dependent on Huai'an, although he has an independent territory, he has done his best to establish all kinds of workshops, and even does not hesitate to go to Huai'an to steal the art of stealing from the other party, but the output and quality of weapons, armor and various siege equipment are still far inferior to the other party, and they are far from meeting the needs of troop expansion and foreign wars.

"Wang Kerou, Zhang Shicheng, Guo Ziyi and others, can they listen to your mention and reduce the delivery of all kinds of materials to Huaiyang." Zhu Sheng smiled mysteriously and asked knowingly.

Zhu Chongba's face instantly turned red, and he closed his mouth tightly, speechless.

The answer is obvious, whether it is for their own survival and expansion, or in order to obtain all kinds of luxury things, the other heroes will not stop transporting grain and pig iron to Huaiyang, and they do not have any courage to put forward a joint initiative against Huaiyang, otherwise, I am afraid that the letter will be sent out the day before, and the next day, the above-mentioned princes will join forces to fight under Anqing City, and even their nominal boss Guo Zixing will immediately kill their relatives.

"Ugh." Knowing that Zhu Chongba must be uncomfortable at the moment, Zhu Sheng was not too pressed, sighed softly, and closed his eyes silently.

In terms of strength comparison, the difference between Zhu Chongba and Zhu Chongjiu is no smaller than the gap between Liu Bei and Cao Cao before the Chibi War

And the sage Xu Heng Zengyun, "Governing the country with power, but the world; Eli governs the country, less than three generations; Governing the country with virtue and maintaining long-term peace and stability. (Note 2)

Throughout the annals of history, to benefit the governance of the country, thousands of years have not heard of one, the former Qi Zhi Guan Zhong opened the female Lu, heavy business, Qi then called rich, and Guan Zhong died, Huan Gong soon died in the hands of the traitor, the Qi army went to war, and then rare victories, and even some people threw wealth and goods in front of the battle, messing with their military hearts, and Qi generals have robbed, ignoring military orders, and then collapsed hundreds of miles

Now that Zhu Chongjiu has gone further than Guan Zhong, it is foreseeable that it will not be long before the etiquette and music will collapse under his rule, morality will be degraded, the eunuchs will lose their politics, the scholars will forget their studies, the cultivators will abandon their fields, the power and money will collude, and the tigers and wolves will be everywhere, and those who have no money and no power will die but have nowhere to complain about their grievances

The more he thought about it, the heavier Zhu Sheng's mood became, and the sense of responsibility and mission on his shoulders became stronger

The afternoon sun shines through the carved glass windows into the car, casting colorful shadows on people's faces, and as the wheels move, the sunlight outside the windows flickers on and off, and the colors on people's faces change.

After a long time in silence, the tranquility in the carriage was broken again by Zhu Chongba's sigh, "Alas, ,,, step by step, trend and trend, but look at it to run away from the dust." (Note 3)

"Your heart is dead, if you die, then you will be attached now, and you will not lose the position of Qi and Liang in the future." Zhu Sheng finally raised his eyelids, revealing two fine lights in his eyes.

Han Xin, the king of Qi, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, were both generals under the command of Han Gaozu, and made immortal contributions in the war of the Han army sweeping the world, and that Han Gaozu, like the current Zhu Chongjiu, was born in a humble but magnificent manner, but soon after the world was pacified, Han Xin, the king of Qi, was demoted to the Marquis of Huaiyin, although he was careful to close the door for many years, and finally it was still difficult to escape death, and Peng Yue, who was attacked and captured by the army sent by Han Gaozu without defense, and finally punished the three clans.

Although Zhu Chongba is a martial artist, the ink in his stomach is not less than that of ordinary scholars, hearing this, he immediately "stirred up the spirit" and shivered, raised his head, and responded from between his teeth, "The boy is a gentleman with the courtesy of his father, why should the gentleman insult the boy, if the gentleman has a strategy to see the sun, although he says it, the kid will obey his words." ”

Shang's father's gift, is King Wu of Zhou's treatment of Jiang Ziya, Qi Huan's treatment of Guan Zhong, and Xiang Yu's treatment of Fan Zeng, all of them are extremely respectful, and they are all extremely respectful, although Zhu Chongba's power is weak, since he invited Zhu Sheng to help him out of the mountain, he has always treated the latter as a wise elder, so even if Zhu Sheng is dissatisfied with him in his heart, he has long been moved and swallowed without a trace.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang said the word Shang's father at this moment, Zhu Sheng's eyes began to turn red, and he groaned for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Look at your impatience, did the old man say that he would not help you, but at this moment, the combat strength of me and the state army is not as good as the eleventh of the Huai'an Army, and many strategies cannot be used, so for now you can only forbear, when you should be soft, you must be soft, and you should take the benefits to others, so you will do everything you can, slow down his heart a little bit, be lazy with his strategy, let him focus all his attention on Meng Yuan's side, and then take Anqing as the foundation, Cultivating politics inside, refining armor soldiers outside, based on Confucianism, using hundreds of jobs and miscellaneous studies, and then building high walls, accumulating grain, and waiting for the changes of time. ”

After a pause, he said, "That Zhu heavy eightfold grass people and light scholars, as everyone knows, his subordinate martial arts, also long for scholars and doctors, life and death, people are entrusted with their lives, do not care about any selfishness, of course, its decree is smooth, every policy, from top to bottom are fully implemented, after its external troubles disappear, then Su, Xu, Hu, Liu Zhuren, who is willing to call the peddler pawn brothers, if it is really as he declared, people are not high and low, all are born equal, then who are the generals who sacrifice their lives to fight? If the peddlers and pawns can also sit and discuss with the hundred officials, then what are the plans of the virtuous ministers and good generals, so if the external troubles are eased, there will be chaos inside, and when they are chaotic, it is the opportunity for me and the state army to win the world. ”

Note 1: Yang Bi, Yang Xiwu, later renamed Yang Xian, was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's personal scribe in the official history, deeply trusted, once supervised hundreds of officials for Zhu Yuanzhang, and later because he offended Li Shanchang, he was impeached by Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, and executed for crime.
