Between the two tasting and talking, the words were implicit but not revealing, but even so, both sides understood and knew what they meant.

Ye Yu's meaning is very clear, that is, to warn Wu Ting, the old general, that it is best to be a foolish person in front of him Ye Yu, because smart people have always been annoying.

This is also the reason why he, Ye Yu, has been excluded by the imperial court, because he is too shrewd but not social!

Today's Ye Yu can deeply understand the feeling of Cao Cao killing Yang Xiu, which is a quirk of smart people. He Ye Yu is a layman, and he can't avoid the strange problems of being equally repulsive.

At that time, he revised the book to inform Wu Ting to cooperate with this operation, and indeed did not let Wu Ting lead the army to participate in the follow-up battle, because he wanted to use this bloody strategic situation to completely deter the Wu clan in Sichuan and Shu.

The Wu clan was a general in Sichuan and Shu for three generations, strictly guarding against the Tibetan tribes in the west, and deterring the Dali Dynasty in the south, especially in the north, to resist the attacks and disturbances of the Western Xia from time to time.

It is precisely this sensitive geographical situation that has created the Wu family, a famous military family.

It has never been that the imperial court does not want to move the Wu family, but the reason is that it can't move at all. Because the big roots of the tree are deeply involved and move the whole body, and no one can replace the influence of the Wu family in Sichuan and Shu.

It is precisely because of this kind of consideration that Ye Yu will plan his descendant army of 30,000 and independently encircle and suppress 200,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia.

Ye Yu's move was to make Wu Ting understand one thing, that is, he had the ability to control the tiger of the Wu family!

The march pays attention to the soldiers and horses before the grain and grass are moved, and the people who do things without foresight must have near-term worries, Ye Yu waited for so long and didn't want to be silent anymore.

Ye Yu knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to completely solve the current battle situation, it would be difficult for him to complete the effect of breaking the situation with only his 30,000 iron horses.

Because wars always kill people, even the elite iron cavalry he built with a lot of money will definitely be exhausted after the defeat of the heroes in the future, and what capital does he have at that time?

People's hearts are not ancient and difficult to guess, even though Wu Ting and him have secretly reached a tacit understanding. But no one can guarantee how much temptation and greed this verbal promise will experience!

Now the old emperor recognized his identity, named the prince, and gave the name Zhao Chen, but the prince is only a prince after all, and the crown prince of the dynasty is still Zhao Kai.

Therefore, what Ye Yu has to do now is to take advantage of the opportunity of this war to make his military and political forces grow rapidly, so that he can deal with any variables in the future.

And this basic starting point is on Wu Ting!

The decision to independently deal with the Western Xia Corps with 30,000 elites, and the use of new weapons and grenades, was a deterrent to Wu Ting, but it was also an invisible temptation.

Ye Yu wants to see his battle plan, what attitude Wu Ting will take to deal with it.

And today's result actually made Ye Yu not satisfied, so he took advantage of the topic to say that paragraph.

Wu Ting, who was sitting opposite Ye Yu at this time, although he had a smile on his face, he was a little uneasy in his heart. Wu Ting didn't expect Ye Yu to see the intention in his heart at a glance!

After he received Ye Yu's order, although he was a little worried, it was more in line with his thoughts.

Even in front of his brother, he didn't directly express this kind of thought.

He wanted to see how powerful this army was, which had been built with a lot of money and refined for nearly five years, and at the same time, he also hoped to use this to push the boat down the river and make this army lose all in this war.

He needs victory in this battle, but he wants this land of Sichuan and Shu to be stabilized. To put it more bluntly, I don't want foreign forces to be mixed into the Wu army, which is like an iron plate.

At the beginning, Wu Ting wanted to explain to Ye Yu his intention to annex this army in the name of congratulations, not so much because he took a fancy to Ye Yu's huge cost to build, but at a deeper level, he didn't want to appear in the land of Sichuan and Shu An army that Wu Ting couldn't control!

After all, with strong financial resources, for Sichuan Shu, which has the reputation of the land of abundance, the Wu family is not short of these assets.

But Wu Ting's thoughts are extremely vague, because this is equivalent to supporting the army and self-respect, so he can only show his heart with the illusion of greed.

Wu Ting's heart is very conflicted in this regard, which is actually disloyal to the imperial court for him, who has always believed that he is loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

Because before Ye Yu, the imperial court had sent powerful officers to serve in Sichuan and Shu in more than one place, wanting to divide the Wu family's military strength in Sichuan and Shu, but in the end they were forcibly blocked back!

Knowing that this is contrary to the way of loyalty to the king, but still selfishly implementing it, this is what he Wu Ting feels extremely sad, because as the leader of the third generation of the Wu family, he cannot ignore the interests of the family.

Wu Ting often used Sun Wuji, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, as a spiritual medicine to comfort him. Because the eldest grandson Wuji was loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but because of the Guanlong family, he embarked on the road of no return for a generation of powerful ministers.

……

Ye Yu saw that Wu Ting's words were decreasing, and he knew that his words had made the other party worried, so he put down his wine glass and looked at Wu Ting solemnly.

"The old general carries too much, but everything should be prioritized, and there must always be a choice between the country and the family, otherwise the two sides will look forward to the burden in the future, and it will inevitably end badly......"

"The last general knows that he is wrong!"

"You're not wrong, a representative of a family, who seems to be a glamorous driver, drives the carriage of the clan behind him. But in the end, it was not the man who drove the carriage, but the carriage that restrained the rider......"

Ye Yu shook his head, as if sighing: "There are many helplessness in this, which is really difficult for outsiders to understand. Therefore, the old general should be considerate of the unrighteous actions of the imperial court over the years, after all, for the Wu family and the entire Great Song Dynasty, the current head of the family is not easy to be! ”

Wu Ting's expression suddenly became solemn when he heard this, and he hurriedly got up and saluted Ye Yu: "Don't worry, the prince ...... relieved."

"Well, there is no need to be like this, the old general can understand the righteousness, this king is already relieved in his heart, as for any faithful words, there is no need, this king is a person who looks at the actual effect, I hope the old general will not let this king down!"

Ye Yu's words are heartfelt, not only to appease the imperial court, but also to plan for himself. And while impressing, it is also invisibly persecuting Wu Ting.

Although Wu Ting is a military general, he has been up and down for decades, and he naturally understands the sound of this in an instant.

Then he solemnly knelt down on one knee and gave Ye Yu the gift of the monarch and minister: "The last general Wu Ting, on behalf of the Wu family, swears to the prince here, from now on to the prince, but whenever the prince is sent, 300,000 soldiers in Sichuan and Shu will go to the soup to fight the fire!" ”

"The old general is serious, please get up quickly!" Hearing what he was looking forward to the most, Ye Yu's heart was also overjoyed at the moment.

But he was already moody, so he naturally knew how to restrain himself, gently helped Wu Ting, and then said meaningfully: "The old general's words are loyal, but there is a sentence that is wrong, you are loyal not to this king, but to the current imperial court......"

"Uh...... Yes, yes, the last general will lose his words after drinking, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins! ”

"It's okay, it's okay, this is the temperament, come, you and I will have a few drinks together!"

"Lord Wang, please!"

Although Wu Ting threatened to have 300,000 soldiers in Sichuan and Shu, in fact, he could dispatch no more than 100,000 people, because no matter how many troops there were, they had to be stationed at the border, and no matter which side was in the west, south, or north, they had to send troops to defend and defend them.

However, for the 100,000 army, Ye Yu was already satisfied......

The two then sat down and chatted a lot, but they rarely talked about the current war, one was that Ye Yu did not take the initiative to raise the topic, and Wu Ting, as a general, was inconvenient to ask, and secondly, now that the preliminary battle situation was a foregone conclusion, there was nothing to worry about.

"Master, Senator Lu asks to see you!"

Wu Ting was entertaining Ye Yu, the prince, at the moment, how could he go to meet others, so he said: "The old man doesn't see anyone today......

"Hey, the old general doesn't have to be like this, this Senator Lu came to ask to see the general, there must be something important to discuss, how can it be at private expense, why don't you bring Senator Lu here, how about the three of us drink and discuss together?"

The prince opened his mouth, and Wu Ting naturally couldn't refuse, so he signaled to the housekeeper and led Senator Lu, who went to see him, to the living room.

In less than a moment, the butler of the Wu Mansion led a half-hundred-year-old man in.

This man has three strands of beard and looks extremely stable, and he is dressed in an official uniform and is elegant and clean, which shows that this person must be a very particular person on weekdays.

Seeing Ye Yu and Wu Ting at the table, this person looked solemn and was about to step forward to salute, but Ye Yu took the lead in opening his mouth: "You are Lu You and Lu Wuguan?" ”

"Well, the next official is Lu You, and I have seen His Royal Highness King Zhong here!"

This person is Lu You, who is over half a hundred years old, and he is in the Senator of the Chengdu Fulu Pacification Division. He came this time to report logistics and military affairs to Wu Ting, and at the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to visit Ye Yu, a nobleman.

Lu You had already thought of a set of wording when he came in, but what he didn't expect was that the loyal king in front of him actually knew about it. This unexpected situation made Lu You both excited and surprised at the moment!

"I have heard that Fang Weng is talented and poetic, and this king has been admired for a long time, come, please come to the table!"

Ye Yu's short two sentences made Lu You is flattered, and hurriedly said humbly: "The prince is too famous, the lower officials can't afford it, although the lower officials are a little famous, but they are not as good as the prince's ......."

"Hey, it's wrong to put Weng this way, this king has always admired your song "Hairpin Phoenix"!"

Ye Yu said, and read with interest: "Red crisp hands, Huang Teng wine, the city is full of spring palace wall willows." The east wind is evil, the joy is thin, a sorrow, and a few years away. Wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is as old as ever, people are empty and thin, and tears are red and silky. The peach blossoms fall, the idle pond pavilion, although the mountain league is there, the brocade book is difficult to support. Mo, Mo, Mo! ”

After reading the poem, Lu You, who was over half a hundred years old, turned a little red, because this poem was a worry that he and his cousin Tang Wan could not be combined. It is a bit out of place to pronounce this phrase on such an occasion now.

"This is a clumsy letter written by the lower officials back then, which made the prince smile......

Although Lu You felt a little embarrassed at the moment, he was also very happy that his poems could be known to Ye Yu.
