Chapter 497: Ask Yu Ming
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "As Brother Jun said, that Baishi City is a lofty city built on a mountain, and it has always been a barrier for Koreans to resist the attack of our army. Now that the Hezong Army knows that we may have to pass through White Rock City, how can they discard it at will? This city must have been heavily guarded, and it would be difficult to attack. ”
Ying Si rubbed his hands, his palms were already full of sweat, and he asked anxiously, "Then do we have any better way?" Now I just hate not being able to give birth to wings and fly to the city of Michi! ”
Seeing Brother Jun's eager expression, he inevitably frowned slightly, and of course he had some complaints in his heart: "It's all because you didn't listen to my advice at the beginning, your mind was hot, and you recklessly sent troops to Michi, so you are in today's predicament!" ”
However, as a close relative of the Qin clan, in the face of a military accident that was tantamount to a huge disaster, how could he only complain about his brother and not seriously think about how to solve the difficulty? Zhu Li sighed in his heart, and flashed his father Qin Xiaogong's evaluation of his brother: "There is more than perseverance, but the strength is a little lacking." ”
He knew that because his brother was not angry with the alliance advocated by his enemy Su Qin, he was overconfident in the strength of Qin, and he was suspicious of his younger brother, so he plunged headlong into the pit of South Korea, one of the allies of the Composite Alliance.
Now that the situation is extremely tight, Ying Si can no longer stand up to the monarch's posture, and he is also called a "younger brother" for his courtier, and he must show affection everywhere.
Zhu Li thought to himself: "When the matter comes, come to discuss with yourself again, you will be affectionate again, but I have nothing to do." He replied to his brother, "Brother Jun, don't worry, you still have to take care of your body, why don't you eat something first, and let me think of a way." ”
Qin Jun Yingsi replied: "That's fine, since you have come to the palace, you can accompany my brother and me to eat something." As he spoke, Ying Si immediately instructed the eunuchs outside the palace gate to prepare a meal for two people and send it to the dormitory.
The king's meals were very elaborate, and few were arranged in the dormitory. But when Ying Si saw the disease, it was like grasping a life-saving straw, and he didn't want his younger brother, who was known as the "think tank" of the Qin State, to leave his side for a moment, until he could come up with a good solution. Therefore, he unconsciously ordered the eunuchs to arrange meals in the dormitory.
Of course, he also felt the strangeness of arranging meals in the dormitory, and also felt the panic and helplessness of his brother Yingsi, so he also thought about the strategies that might be used to rescue the trapped Qin army in Michi.
During the meal between the two of them, Ying Si inadvertently asked about his brother's stomach disease, and he said: "My brother has always had stomach problems since he was a child, and my father is very worried about you, I don't know what is going on now?" Recently, you took leave and didn't come to the court, how will you be raised at home? ”
A trace of emotion swelled in his heart, and the elder brother who was the monarch could think of his younger brother's physical ailment, showing concern, which was enough to make his heart warm and comfortable. After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and brotherhood is not something that can be cold if you are cold, even if you have complaints, you will still be concerned about your brothers.
Zhu Li replied: "Thank you Brother Jun for your concern." My stomach problem is almost better, this is an old problem, good for a while and bad for a while, it is difficult to cure. Of course, he couldn't tell the truth about what he did during the holiday, because Brother Jun was very wary of Su Qin's junior brother Zhang Yi, and if he said that he would host a wedding for Zhang Yi, I am afraid he would also be unhappy.
However, just when Zhu Li thought of Zhang Yi, he suddenly had an idea. A thought flashed through his quick-reacting brain: "This matter started because of Su Qin, but can you ask Su Qin's junior brother Zhang Yi?" If you want to say that you know Su Qin himself and his advocacy strategy, no one can compare to Zhang Yi! ”
The flash of light in his head made him extremely excited, and he couldn't help but want to stand up, and the dagger in his hand unconsciously slapped heavily on the several cases full of food, shaking the rice bowls and plates on the several cases.
Ying Si was asking about his younger brother's physical condition, seeing that he suddenly seemed very excited, his movements were very abrupt, as if he was fascinated for a moment, Ying Si was startled, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother Ji, what's wrong, why did you suddenly put down the dagger and not eat." ”
Zhu Li quickly turned his head to look at Brother Jun Yingsi, and heard his question, Zhu Li Ji had not fully woken up from his thoughts.
There was a little excitement on his face, not only did he not answer his brother's question, but asked him: "The predicament of Michi may be solved, but you may need Brother Jun to ask someone you don't want to see, I wonder if Brother Jun can condescend to ask him personally?" ”
Ying Si was full of sorrow, hoping that someone could save him from the danger, and if someone could come up with a way, even if he was asked to plead, he was willing. What's more, it's going to meet up, what's so hard about that?
Ying Si himself put down the dagger in his hand, and he replied happily: "Brother Ji has come up with someone to solve the difficulty?" That's great! Even if you say that person's name, how can you delay the affairs of the state because you are concerned about your personal identity? Tell my brother quickly. ”
Zhu Li Ji said: "The person I think of to solve the dilemma is Mr. Zhang Yi, the junior brother of Su Qin, the leader of the Hezong Army, if you understand Su Qin, no one can match. ”
Ying Si's face showed surprise, and he couldn't help asking: "That Zhang Yi is a person who can ask questions, but is this person still in our Qin Kingdom?" Where can we find him? ”
Zhu Li Ji fiddled with the dagger in his hand, groaned for a while, and replied: "Zhang Yi is still in Xianyang City of Qin State, and he also took a woman from our Qin State clan as his wife. ”
When Ying Si heard this, he patted a few cases lightly and said, "That's great, it seems that this person is determined to stay in our Qin State, otherwise, why bother to marry the Qin State clan?" ”
Zhu Li glanced at his brother, and thought to himself: "Listening to your happy tone, it seems that God has given you an opportunity to let Zhang Yi stay in Xianyang City." But if I hadn't deliberately arranged and retained him, I'm afraid he would have left the Qin State a long time ago, and you won't be able to find this strategist who might help you solve the problem. ”
Zhu Liji was still hesitating whether to tell Brother Jun about his friendship and retention of Zhang Yi, because if Ying Si knew where Zhang Yi was, he would slowly see the truth that he was pretending to be sick to organize Zhang Yi's wedding. This little deception may become an excuse for Brother Jun to find trouble for himself in the future.
Ying Si also noticed his brother's hesitation, and he urged: "Does Brother Ji have any concerns?" As a brother, you can immediately go to see Zhang Yi with your brother, and you won't delay for a moment. Don't worry, if you have any requirements, please let me know, and I will do what you ask. ”
Ying Si put on a high posture of responding to requests, which made Zhu Li feel a little more at ease, and he replied: "Doctor Gao Sheng had recommended Zhang Yi to Brother Jun before, but because the gentleman took Zhang Yi's special status and did not pay attention to it, the younger brother was afraid that he had resentment in his heart. ”
Zhu Li explained bitterly: "A talented person like Zhang Yi will naturally have arrogance in his heart, I am worried that you will go up to ask him for advice, and if there is disrespect in his words, you will feel uncomfortable in your heart." Moreover, he may also put forward some very high conditions, I wonder if Brother Jun will agree to it. ”
Zhu Liji expressed this concern, considering that his brother thinks very highly of himself, and he was worried that he would take him to see Zhang Yi, but the two had a verbal discord and broke up unhappily, and finally offended both of them, and they were not people inside and out.
As for whether Ying Si will blame himself for concealing the fact of his relationship with Zhang Yi in the future, he feels that he can no longer take care of it.
Ying Si was unexpectedly cheerful, and he replied, "I thought it was Zhang Yi who swore that he didn't want to see me." If he is disrespectful to me in words, or proposes any money, official position, or whatever, as long as he can help us solve our difficulties, I can cherish anything, even if I promise him. ”
After listening to Brother Jun's words, he looked at the eager look on his face, and thought: "Brother is completely anxious this time, and his little arrogance and arrogance have been shattered in the face of the dangerous battle situation in Michi. ”
Zhu Liji felt that the time was ripe, so he agreed, and said, "Then I will go to see Zhang Yi with Brother Jun and ask him to come up with an idea." I wonder when Brother Jun is free? ”
Ying Si was quite impatient, and he said, "Without further ado, let's go now." ”
A smile appeared on his face, and he replied: "The younger brother also knows that the military situation is urgent, but he just ate half of the meal, so it is better to continue to finish it." After we had dinner, we immediately set off to find Zhang Yi. ”
Ying Si also felt that he was in a hurry everywhere, so he smiled awkwardly and replied, "What Brother Ji said is, let's eat first." ”
As soon as the two brothers Ying Si and Ying Ji had dinner, they ordered the eunuchs in the palace to prepare a very ordinary-looking carriage and go to Zhang Yi's mansion together. Because it was a microservice visit, Ying Si and Ying Ji were reluctant to take the chariot, which seemed to be fanfare and eye-catching.
When they came to Zhang Yi's house, they found that they had already had dinner, and Zhang Yi and his newlywed wife Yingxi were sweetly tired of being together. However, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi had a good relationship, and when Zhang Yi heard that he was visiting, he got up at night and welcomed the two to the study.
Ying Si came to see Zhang Yi in person, but when the matter came, he felt that he couldn't open his mouth, so he still came forward and told Zhang Yi in detail about the battle situation in Michi.
Zhu Li asked Zhang Yi and said, "Our two brothers came to visit in the middle of the night, and Mr. Zhang must also know our intentions. At present, the Qin army in Michi is under siege from which it is difficult to get out, please ask Mr. Zhang to show me a clear way out of the predicament. ”
