Chapter 8 The Restaurant Talks About War
As soon as Qin Zhongshu appeared, he made Cao San and Gu Mingshan unhappy, Cao San proposed to drink elsewhere, Feng Ge'er was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, he only hoped that Qin Zhongshu could see him. However, Qin Zhongshu was talking happily with others, and he didn't glance at the corner.
Feng Ge'er and Kou Zichan practiced superior martial arts for some times, and they were smart-sighted, and they could vaguely hear Qin Zhongshu talking to others about Wei Yan leading the Qingfeng Cavalry to Liyang to participate in the Liyang War. The Qingfeng Cavalry is the most elite combat force in Jiangning, and the Qingfeng Cavalry is dispatched, which undoubtedly indicates that the Liyang War has entered the most critical period, and the people around Qin Zhongshu couldn't help but shout softly.
When Feng Ge'er left Jiangning, Qingfeng Cavalry showed no signs of going out, thinking that he had just arrived at the Liyang battlefield in the past few days.
Cao Sanzhi was moved, glanced at Gu Mingshan, and saw that his face was also quite surprised. Qingfeng cavalry arrived at the Liyang battlefield, Cao San also received a report from the Jing'an Division in the afternoon today, thinking that Gu Mingshan would not know the news much in advance, and the ordinary officials and gentry wanted to know the movements of Qingfeng cavalry through the post station, at least until later.
Cao San secretly wondered: How did Qin Zhongshu learn the news that Qingfeng rode to Liyang?
The route between Liyang and Qingjiang was completely cut off due to the war, and ordinary people could only learn about the news on the battlefield of Liyang through the post house newspaper. In addition, only a few forces that were concerned about the battle in Liyang and the movements in Jiangning would directly send scout outposts to infiltrate the battlefield and observe the details of the battlefield.
Qin Zhongshu could know about the arrival of Qingfeng's cavalry on the Liyang battlefield at this time, could he have another source?
Cao San was about to stand up and invite Gu Mingshan and the others to go downstairs together, but at this time, his body was stuck there, looked at Gu Mingshan, and said, "Lord Gu, what do you think?" ”
Gu Mingshan said: "I heard that Qin Zhongshu has to visit the business travelers from Jiangning every day, maybe he can see some clues from some fine trees. ”
Cao San said: "Then listen to him." As he spoke, he leaned over, made a gesture to the window, turned his head, and explained to Gu Mingshan: "If it is as Lord Gu said, Qin Zhongshu's ability to see the subtleties is really amazing, and he is a person who values fame and fortune, Jing'an Si does not dare to indulge in the flow." ”
Feng Ge'er was shocked in his heart: Cao San gestured out the window, it turned out that he had notified the people of Jing'an Division to arrest Qin Zhongshu.
Cao San arranged it like this, and Gu Mingshan couldn't say anything.
Qin Zhongshu has excellent knowledge, if he takes refuge in other forces, it will be a big trouble for Jiang Ning, Kou Zichan is so enthusiastic about his affairs, and he also likes his talent. However, in the eyes of the princes of Jiangning, he is a person who is keen on fame and fortune and has no integrity in his heart, so he does not dare to reuse him, and he has to be very wary. Qin Zhongshu's behavior in Xuancheng was intended to attract Xu Ruyu's attention, but it would also increase the vigilance of the princes of Jiangning.
Gu Mingshan glanced at Cao San, thinking that he might have murderous intentions.
"Wow." Cao San heard someone shouting softly, followed the voice, and a pair of eyes hurriedly avoided it.
Cao Sanshi had murderous thoughts in his heart, but he was able to sense the fleeting killing intent that he inadvertently revealed from such a distance, and he was only afraid that he would be better than himself in his cultivation.
Cao San couldn't help but look at the man twice, dressed in a green shirt, with a green silk scarf on his head, and his face was disguised with sallow water, he could still see that he was very handsome, and his eyes were as clear as water.
The young scholar who was criticizing Jiang Ning for being good at opening the Liyang War also heard the suppressed exclamation, looked at the eyes that were in contact with Cao San, was slightly stunned, and looked away.
Cao San was wary, stared at the crowd for a while, and said secretly: It seems that the establishment of the Lishui Vocational Hall is going to be moved, and Xuancheng has mixed in with so many masters, and he didn't even notice it?
Gu Mingshan is not proficient in martial arts, but his kung fu is quite good, Cao San's gaze stopped on the seven people for a moment, Gu Mingshan can also see that those people are not weak, except for the woman who dresses as a man and the young scholar, the other five people all came upstairs after Qin Zhongshu, and said secretly: Qin Zhongshu is talking about war here, which has attracted the attention of other forces, and the masters of each family lurking in Jiangning can't help but move.
Cao San originally wanted to arrest Qin Zhongshu and return to the official office, so he had to give up his original idea.
Gu Mingshan said secretly: If Qin Zhongshu comes into contact with the eyeliner of other forces in Jiangning, Cao San will probably not hesitate to order someone to kill him.
Feng Ge'er was anxious that Cao San wanted to arrest Qin Zhongshu, who knew that such a change would suddenly occur in an instant. For fear that Qin Zhongshu would say anything disobedient, he didn't care what Cao San and Gu Mingshan would think in their hearts, so he coughed and reminded Qin Zhongshu to pay attention to this.
Qin Zhongshu heard someone coughing lightly, followed the voice, and saw Feng Ge'er sitting in the corner, his heart was overjoyed, and he was about to call out, but he saw the young man sitting with his back to him turning his head and looking over, his sharp eyes fell on his face like thunder, and his heart was terrified, and the words that he wanted to call out his head were choked in his throat, and he couldn't say it. After standing in a daze for a long time, he came back to his senses and secretly thought: This person's eyes are so powerful.
Everyone upstairs noticed that this side was abnormal and looked at this side together. Cao San put the short knife on his waist with his left hand, and he didn't care about scolding Brother Feng, so he lowered his voice and said quickly to Gu Mingshan's guards: "Quickly take Mr. Gu out of here." He turned around and stood up, walked towards Qin Zhongshu, and said, "Before I came to drink, I just read today's post newspaper, and it didn't mention the arrival of Qingfeng Cavalry on the battlefield in Liyang, so dare to ask Mr. Qin how did he know?" ”
Gu Mingshan and Cao San, where would they have thought that there were six or seven unidentified experts in the restaurant, with only one guard by his side, if someone upstairs recognized his identity and separated the two to contain Cao San and the guard, Gu Mingshan's situation would be dangerous.
Cao San separated the crowd, walked to the long case, and looked at Qin Zhongshu intently, his eyes were a little milder than Shicai, and they were still very sharp. Qin Zhongshu was slightly stunned, and in the corner of his eye, Feng Ge'er also walked this way, and the two people who were at the same table as Feng Ge'er were going downstairs.
Qin Zhongshu said secretly: This person can silence Brother Feng, and his status in Jiangning is not low, but he stood up to attract the attention of others and cover another person going downstairs, and that person's identity is still above him. The guards skillfully blocked Gu Mingshan's face, and there was an abnormality upstairs to the point where Gu Mingshan got up and went downstairs, but in the blink of an eye, several people felt that something was wrong, but except for Qin Zhongshu, no one else saw Gu Mingshan's important identity.
When Gu Mingshan arrives downstairs, someone will answer, and Cao San is now considering whether to send a secret signal to notify the people downstairs. The masters of the various potential Jiangning families are very good at lurking and stealing, if they all came to Qin Zhongshu, Jing'an Division might not be able to find them even if they tried their best. Cao San was almost certain that the five people who went upstairs before and after Qin Zhongshu had a bad idea. Although the woman and the young scholar with the bamboo flute hanging from their waist have special abilities, they are not good at disguise, which just shows that they will not be the eyeliner of other forces.
Brother Feng'er's martial arts are low, and he didn't go downstairs with Gu Mingshan, if there is a good one, don't explain it in front of Kou Zichan, Cao San had to dispel the thoughts in his heart. Qin Zhongshu's safety is not in Cao San's scruples.
Qin Zhongshu froze his nerves, narrowed his eyes slightly, so that he could look directly at Cao San's gaze, he stretched out his finger, pointed at his head, and said, "There are some events that don't have to wait for others to tell you to know. ”
Cao San said: "Then why does Mr. Qin think that the Qingfeng Cavalry has arrived at the Liyang Battlefield? Mr. Qin said here that the war has been going on for a long time, the situation in Liyang has changed, Mr. Qin can also say five out of ten, and Cao someone is also admiring, but I want to ask, is there only a fifty percent chance that Qingfeng will arrive at the battlefield in Liyang? ”
A person next to him said with a smile: "Mr. Qin said that the war, at the beginning of the ten said five, at this time there is already a ** point of certainty, he said that the Qingfeng cavalry arrived at the Liyang battlefield, the tenth ** is, if you don't believe it, you can know it in three or five days." If you are not convinced, you can argue with Mr. Qin, and let me wait to watch the fun. ”
Qin Zhongshu smiled slightly, but did not respond.
Qin Zhongshu first said war in Dexiang Tower, the news only relied on the post station newspaper, guessing that there were many natural mistakes, and later from Jiangning and Fengling and other places to collect the latest news, speculation is much more accurate. Qin Zhongshu's astonishing analytical ability really surprised everyone in Jiangning, and Cao San didn't expect him to be able to see such a subtle change in the battle situation as mobilizing the Qingfeng Cavalry.
Qin Zhongshu saw that the person in front of him was silent, and said: "Jiangning launched the Liyang War, and he has his own careful planning, and Zhu Tongshan is quite resolute in resisting in Liyang, and he also has his plans. This battle situation is promoted, and the princes of Jiangning will naturally seek the best opportunity, and I will talk about it on this paper, and it will not be a big deal to see it clearly. ”
Feng Ge'er squeezed forward and said, "When I was in Jiangning, I didn't know that Qingfeng had moved, if you guessed, I'm afraid you guessed wrong." ”
Qin Zhongshu almost laughed out loud when he heard his words, listening to his words, a more shrewd person could listen to his identity: he was also the number one person in Jiangning, but he did not reach the status of a confidential person.
Qin Zhongshu said: "The complete Zhu clan is not the enemy of Jiangning, let alone the Zhu clan that was divided into three after the battle of Huishan? Xu Ru's foolish ambition is not limited to Yuejun, he chose Liyang to fight with Zhu Tongshan in a dignified manner, and changed the tricky warfare technique of the past, one of the purposes of which is to test the ability of the armies to integrate operations. ”
Xu Ruyu rose in Jiangning and was invincible, but as Qin Zhongshu said, it was mostly a battle, and the real combat strength of the Jiangning army had not yet been revealed, and even the people of Jiangning did not understand how strong the Jiangning army was.
Cao San's face was silent, but his heart was not calm. The Su Guard Army, the Xiao Guard Army, and the Five School Troops will be incorporated into the Fengling Battalion, and part of the combat strength of the Qingfeng Cavalry and the Jiangning Water Battalion will also be incorporated into the Fengling Battalion, in order to test the ability of all armies and services to conduct joint operations. Compared with Nanping and Hulan, the Jiangning armies were established for a very short time, and some places were still immature, and the battle for hegemony was cruel and fierce. Qin Zhongshu saw through this purpose, and it was not impossible to judge the timing of Qingfeng's departure based on some details. From the beginning of the Liyang War, it had a relatively complete form of the general battle situation, which was the dignified battle that Qin Zhongshu said.
Cao San saw that Qin Zhongshu's face showed a smug look, frowned slightly, and said: "After the Jinghai battles are over, the Zhu clan has made full preparations, and although the dignified battle without a sudden surname is dull, it is not necessarily the purpose you said. ”
Qin Zhongshu also knew that this person was from Jiangning, and he was not a simple person, and when he saw that he had the intention of covering up, he said with a smile: "If you are prepared for Zhou, you will be lazy, and if you are common, you will not doubt it." Yin is within the yang, not in the yang pair. The world has the best experience in this statement, and Xu Ruyu is also foolish. What do you think about the battle of Huishan? Xu Ruyu was the male master, but he was also behind the enemy, Zhu Lianzhi was lost, and Zhu's family was divided into three. ”
Cao San also knew that covering up in front of a discerning person would only backfire, so he followed his tone and asked, "Can Jiang Ningyan have other purposes?" ”
"Xu Ruyu's calculation of Yue County is no longer one or two, as early as after the Battle of Southern Fujian, I think Xu Ruyu can see the situation today."
The changes in Yuejun in a year are huge, even if you think about it now, it is hard to believe it, but Qin Zhongshu said that these changes were all due to Xu Ru's foolish strategy, and the observers couldn't help but gasp. The woman with a flute hanging from her waist and wearing men's clothes couldn't help but speak: "Xu Ruyu is a flesh body after all, how can he do this?" ”
Qin Zhongshu snorted coldly: "Although Xu Ruyu can't be exhaustive, he can recognize the situation and build momentum. If you talk about the mastermind of the world, if Xu Ruyu admits the second, no one dares to be the first. ”
The woman said, "Just such a comment is too arbitrary. ”
Qin Zhongshu had already seen her daughter's identity, and he also had the heart to convince her, and said: "If you do it in order to instigate it, you will cut off her support and fall into death." This plan to go up to the house to draw the ladder is also, Xu Ruyu took half of it and used it on Rong Yanmen. Rong Yanmen Xiluo Shudi, Xu Ruyu has the ability but does not interfere in the slightest, it is fake; Xu Ruyu went all out to launch the Jinghai Battles and the Battle of Yi'an, creating the illusion that he had no time to look westward, and even did not hesitate to withdraw to the north to Fenjun and Youji, in order to show that he had no ambition for Yue County. ”
Hearing what Qin Zhongshu said, the woman couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing her crystal teeth.
Qin Zhongshu became more and more proud, and said: "There is still a plan to bloom on the tree in the enemy's plan to go to the house, and the essence of flowering on the tree is to take advantage of the situation to set up a situation, and the force is small and the momentum is big. Xu Ruyu took advantage of the situation of Nanping and Xiluo Shu to set up all the forces in the southeast and couldn't get out. Xu Ruyu also really believed that the Zhu, Fan, Yi, Chen and other families would not covet Jiangning under the necessity of unity, and Jiangning would be able to concentrate all efforts to launch the Jinghai Battles and the Yi'an War to solve the problems in the territory. And the battle of Nghe An was also a battle for Jiang Ning's army training and training, and after the end of the war in Nghe An, Jiang Ning suddenly increased nearly 50,000 elite troops, which no one could have imagined. The Nanping army marched westward, the southeast united collapsed, Xu Ruyu resolutely launched the battle of Huishan, even if Zhu Lianzhi did not die in Huishan, the outcome of Zhu's division into east and west could not be changed, and the battle of Liyang was destined to come. ”
Cao Sansuo's surname was silent, but the young scholar listened to it for a long time, and had doubts in his heart, and asked at this time: "Rong Yanmen invaded Shu in the west and concealed it from everyone, how could Xu Ruyu know about it a year ago?" Xu Ruyu has a benevolent and righteous heart, if he could have learned that Rong Yanmen coveted Shu land a year earlier, how could he not inform the Wu and Luo families, just like when he foiled Gongliang Youqin's conspiracy in the East China Sea? ”
Qin Zhongshu was slightly stunned, although he shouted Xu Ruyu's name before, his words were quite presumptuous, and there was no real place to accuse Xu Ruyu, but this person said this, which made Qin Zhongshu speechless, and he couldn't say that Xu Ruyu's righteous deeds in the East China Sea were nothing more than a deception to the world and steal his name. The man in front of him had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but he was very much looking forward to saying something disrespectful.
Everyone was silent for a while, and they didn't dare to respond to the young scholar's question, and suddenly a low voice came from the left corner: "Rong Yanmen uses soldiers to be as sharp as a knife, and if you don't add Shu land, you will kill Jing Yue, between the two dilemmas, if you are Xu Ruyu, how should you choose?" The enemy is harmful, and he will not harm himself because of the situation, but he will not complain about Xu Ru's foolishness. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look, but saw an old man with a bright head slowly standing up and walking downstairs.
Cao San was shocked, and only then did he take a closer look at the room, but he didn't see the old man sitting in the corner, but he appeared there as if out of thin air, although he watched the old man holding the carved wooden handrail down, but he couldn't get the feeling of this person's existence. Void or even nothing, probably the sense of existence he gives people comes from his own will, in the face of such a person, he wants to make a move but has nowhere to go, let alone defeat him.
The little killing intent that sprouted in his heart was scattered in the back of the old man who had no sense of existence, and Cao San knew that when he encountered a character who had reached the extreme of martial arts, unless his cultivation could be improved to another level, he would not even have the courage to make a move in front of such a character.
Qin Zhongshu didn't feel anything unusual about the old man, and saw that five or six of the people around him at this time had changed their faces, and the sense of oppression that had always existed in his heart disappeared in an instant, but he didn't know if it was because of the old man's departure or because of the great change in the faces of the four or five people around him.
The five of them went downstairs in disgrace, Cao San's face twitched slightly, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: Why be too persistent? Seven unknown masters are only left with women dressed as men and young scholars, although I don't know what method the old man used, but Cao San knew that the five people who left were all let the old man retreat.
The woman said secretly: Cultivation is above Master Chen, there are only three major grandmasters, listening to his tone, he is quite protective of Jiangning, is it Tanglin Taoist Fu Weichen?
