Chapter 63: Be Honest
Gu Qian's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stood up and shouted: "The commander stays." ”
Zhang Ru came back to his senses, squinted his eyes and asked, "What other teachings does Lord Wu have?" It's not a time to talk on this big night, so let's talk about it tomorrow! ”
scolded Zhang Ru a hundred times in his heart, if you think that night is not the time to talk, why did the third watch come to Lao Tzu with his entourage in the middle of the night.
But he could only think about it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.
There are not many people who know that his wife and children are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, except for himself, only Wu Guang, who is secretly in charge of all this, knows. He has already made preparations, and now the so-called relatives in his hometown of Henan are just collateral relatives. His real relatives are now in Ninghai County, Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang.
But now Zhang Ru actually explained where his family was, which made Gu Qian have to make a new plan.
"The commander stays, the commander stays. Anything can be discussed, so why make a fuss! This is the old man's mistake, and I ask the commander to forgive me. Wu Qian said busily.
Zhang Ru looked blank, and was dragged back to his position by him.
After secretly looking at it for a while, he didn't see the clue from Zhang Ru's face, so he had no choice but to get straight to the point: "I don't know what the Governor intends to use the old man's family to threaten the old man?" ”
Zhang Ru said: "I don't have any intentions, I just kindly reminded the chief soldier that you don't make a wrong decision because you are dizzy for a while." ”
Gu Qian whispered: "My family is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how did you know." ”
Zhang Ru glanced at him: "Isn't the chief soldier really old?" Although Zhang is just a fake nine-sided governor, he is actually the commander of Jinyiwei. In the world of the Ming Dynasty, it is basically impossible to hide anything from Jinyiwei. ”
Gu Qian nodded helplessly, he had to admit that Jinyiwei's pervasiveness was indeed nerve-wracking: "What does the commander need the old man to do, although he says it bluntly, the old man knows everything." ”
"Who's going to kill me." As soon as Zhang Ru opened his mouth, he threw out a question that Qian Qian couldn't answer at all.
Gu Qian was puzzled: "The commander should ask something else!" I can't say anything about this, but once I say it, as long as my family is still in Daming, they can find and kill them. And I'm afraid that what Liaodong Town will suffer at that time will be a bloodbath. The old man cares about his family, but he can joke with the lives of his brothers. ”
Zhang Ru squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Lord General means that this person also knows the location of your family?" It seems that I still underestimated the mastermind behind this scene. ”
Wu Qian kept silent, not to say who was behind the scenes, Zhang Ru was not too persecutive, after all, this was in Liaodong Town, which nominally belonged to Gu Qian's territory. The persecution was too ruthless, and when the time came, the veteran dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, just afraid that he would put himself in.
"So can the chief soldier tell Zhang, how does the person behind the scenes want you to deal with me?" Zhang Ru threw out another question that made Gu Qian embarrassed.
The first question was not answered, if the second question still chooses to remain silent, don't say that Zhang Ru, who has the notoriety of King Zhang Yan, will have a temper even if he is replaced by other good-tempered people. Gu Qian, who knew this well, did not hide it, and said 1510: "The specific way to deal with it is not said above, but there should be only a few methods." ”
"Oh, which ones? I would like to hear about it. Zhang Ru touched his chin with a little fluff and said calmly.
Gu Qian said: "Everyone in the world knows that the people of Liaodong are fierce, and now the heavy snow covers the mountains, and the people are inconvenient to travel. After the beginning of spring, when the ice and snow melt, as long as the adults appear on the streets, the old man will naturally be able to let the people attack the adults.
Of course, the adults are all people who can recruit and fight well, and ordinary thieves will naturally not enter the speeches of adults.
However, there is a saying in martial arts, and two fists are hard to beat four hands. The soldiers under the command of the adults are able to fight well again, and if they can kill one, can they deal with ten?
At that time, the big deal for the old man is to take command and leave, and when the matter is done, the people above will also give the old man a chance to recover. It won't take three or five years, as long as Your Majesty is in control of Bintian today, and the prince without the help of the commander, if he wants to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that there will be thousands of difficulties.
Or take advantage of the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, cause the soldiers to mutiny, and let the commander die in the chaos. ”
Zhang Ru nodded: "Since Lord General Bing has so many ways to put me to death, why don't you use it?" There was a soldier making trouble a while ago, but I'm afraid it has something to do with the chief soldier! ”
Mu Qian nodded and admitted: "Yes, there are not many soldiers who mutinied, but they are all instructed by the old man." The reason why the old man did not move was to see what the commander, known as the young hero, would do. Unexpectedly, the commander actually agreed to the request of the soldiers, and beat the people of Guangningwei to the ground. ”
If it was in a boxing match, then Gu Qian's previous punch could be regarded as a complete hit on the cotton.
He thought that a young official like Zhang Ru would take into account the decency of the officials and ignore the soldiers. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ru also took the initiative to propose a competition, and finally won. This certainly made Gu Qian's face gloomy, and at the same time, it also made him reestimate Zhang Ru's strength.
"Now that Zhang has known about your conspiracy, I wonder what the chief soldier wants to do with Zhang?" Zhang Ru was still very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Gu Qian's face gradually became solemn: "The old man doesn't dare to kill you, and you don't dare to kill the old man." The best way for you and me to get along is to live together peacefully. As for the above orders, the old man will naturally carry them out, but when the time comes, I hope that the commander can cooperate with one or two, so that the old man can have an explanation. ”
Zhang Ru smiled: "Just dragging it out like this, isn't the chief soldier afraid that the people above you will be angry?" ”
Wu Qian said proudly: "The old man is also the general soldier of the party, and besides, the old man is not not not carrying out the orders above, but he is powerless." There may be a disobedient Gu Qian above, but it will definitely not rashly move a general soldier who is ineffective. ”
"Okay, Zhang is waiting for you at any time. For the sake of what you told me so much tonight, Zhang Mou advised the general soldier that the battle above is not something that the people below us can understand. Sometimes, standing on your own line is the most important choice. One day, I believe that General Bing will know that it is far better to be friends with Zhang Ru than to be an enemy. After Zhang Ru finished speaking, he stood up and left the guest room of the General Soldier's Mansion.
In the west wing of the General Soldier's Palace, a bronzed-skinned scholar dressed in a white single coat was writing hard under the dim oil lamp.
This person is the number one strategist under the command of Gu Qian - Hou Yi.
Without waiting for the ink to dry, he picked up the letter and blew it, and when it was about dry, he rolled it up and stuffed it into the bamboo pipe in the pigeon's leg in the window.
The fluttering sound was particularly harsh in the night, and as the sound gradually faded away, Hou Yi blew out the oil lamp on the table after making sure it was safe, and got into the quilt that was as cold as cold iron.
At night, gloomy as water, a few miles away, a white dove was quietly eating the grain on the snow, unaware that a huge net had fallen from the sky above its head.
Several figures wearing robes of a similar color to the snow emerged from the snow and whistled, and the surrounding people came out of the snow one after another, and there were hundreds of them.
The first person took out the note from the pigeon's leg and disappeared into the night with the pigeon.
Quang Ninh City God Temple, a small place, but gathered no less than 100 people.
By the light of the oil lamp, it was clear that these people were surrounding a young man in a bullfighting suit, and the people around him were dressed the same as the men in white who appeared a few miles outside the city.
The young man was holding a thin piece of letter paper in his hand, and he saw that a lot of content was written on it, probably saying that Wu Qian and Zhang Ru had been talking secretly for nearly an hour, and I was afraid that Wu Qian had defected and something like that.
The letter focused on the analysis of Zhang Ru's character, including one sentence: Zhang Ru seems to be high-flying, but in fact he is as careful as a hair, insidious and treacherous is not comparable to ordinary people, please be careful!
The first half of this sentence made Zhang Ru laugh dumbly, but there were two words in the last sentence, which caught his attention.
Your Highness? Who can be called His Royal Highness in the Ming Dynasty? Today's Royal Highness the Crown Prince is one, but the Crown Prince Zhu Youzhu will never harm him. The other princes can barely be called His Highness, but these Highnesses are still young, and looking at the title on the secret letter, it should be directly given to His Highness, so it can't be Zhu Youzhang's brothers.
And who else can be called His Highness?
The emperor's brothers and sisters can be called His Royal Highness, but that was when the emperor did not board the plane, and now these people can only be the prince. Even some of Zhu Youzhang's brothers are called by the prince in public.
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand who this highness was, so Zhang Ru had to put the matter on hold for the time being, and then ordered the person who was good at imitating handwriting in Jinyi Wei to rewrite the letter according to his own meaning.
Of course, the letter said a lot of good things for Wu Qian, and the tone was completely imitating Hou Yi's tone. If you are not a first-class master, you have to see the clues from the letters, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy.
The most important thing is that Zhang Ru knows that this kind of important letter, the so-called His Royal Highness, will never fake it.
After letting his subordinates disperse, Zhang Ru climbed over the wall and returned to his own courtyard in the general soldier's mansion, at this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
After taking off his bullfighting suit, he lay down comfortably and fell asleep until noon.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ru took someone to the barracks after eating something casually, and the hearts of the Ming border army were not so easy to woo. Don't look at the Qiu Ba in the military camp now when they see him, they will be one by one, if they really fall out, these Qiu Ba will definitely not listen to their own words.
Eating, living and training together, this is one of Zhang Ru's ways to win people's hearts.
Of course, he will also help some people from difficult families, this method can make him integrate into it more quickly, and it can also make the soldiers accept him faster.
At the same time, a conspiracy known to both sides is slowly brewing.
