Chapter 60: Cooking Wine on Heroes
The river breeze blows on the face, which is quite refreshing.
Li Yu stood at the head of the boat at this moment, with great emotion.
Looking at the rolling Yangtze River and the vast smoke waves, Li Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath and muttered in his mouth.
"The east of the river goes to the waves, and the people of the ages are merry."
This is a sentence in Su Shi's poem "Nian Nujiao ● Chibi Nostalgia" by Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty, at this moment Li Yu sighed in his heart, but he muttered the previous sentence.
He didn't feel anything about it, but the man beside him, who was invited by him, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this sentence at this moment, and then glanced at Li Yu with great meaning.
"The son is talented, broad-minded, this sentence is wonderful, and it should be a big white." As the man spoke, he had already slapped open a jar of wine and handed it to Li Yu, and then he picked up a jar himself, raised his head and drank it.
Li Yu took the wine handed over by the other party, took a sip, turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Tai praised it, I just said it casually, where did the talent come from." ”
"The son is quick and talented, and if he is placed on the temple, he will definitely be able to govern the country in peace, and if he is placed in the rivers and lakes, he will definitely be a talented man." The man smiled slightly, raised his head and took another sip of wine, which was quite heroic.
"Mr. said with a smile, in fact, with Mr.'s talent, it should be placed above the temple, not to mention anything else, just what Brother Tai just said, my Southern Tang Navy can be seen."
"I'm just talking about it casually, but you see, the water here is turbulent, although there may not be too much natural danger to defend, but because the river is wide, if the fortifications are done properly, the elite division against the original tired division of the long distance will definitely have the effect of twice the result with half the effort." The man pointed to the surface of the river and the surrounding scenery to Li Yu, while explaining where to place what fortifications should be placed, where heavy troops should be arranged, and what he said was the Tao, and in Li Yu's eyes, what he said was an extremely important place.
"What Brother Tai said is really high, but at present, according to what Brother Tai sees, what should the Southern Tang Dynasty military defense do most?" Li Yu sat at the head of the boat, holding the wine jar in his hand, looking slightly drunk.
"The urgency? Ha Luha, I, an idle cloud and wild crane, can I also talk about the top priorities of the Southern Tang Dynasty today? The man seemed to be frantic at the moment, and the wine in his hand fell into his mouth like a line of wine.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be crazy, Li Yu smiled slightly, and didn't stop him, just let him drink.
The man drank for a long time, drank a jar of wine, and was also a little drunk, he was drunk and hazy, looked at the Yangtze River from afar, and then pointed to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with his hand.
"Look over there, there's the Water Dividing Gang." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the other side: "Look here, there is the Luoshui Gang"
After pointing on both sides, he looked at the shore behind him, smiled coldly, pointed, and said, "Looking at this place, this place is divided into three parts, and the regimental training envoy occupies another share." ”
Listening to what he said, Li Yu didn't interject, just listened to him.
"The old habits of the Tang Dynasty, there are regimental training envoys, although the Southern Tang Dynasty is not as strong as it was then, but if the regimental training envoy is abolished, the conscription can be greatly easier, and the land along the river, how can the regimental training make it bigger, besides, this place is a place where soldiers must fight, if there are other forces entrenched, if there is really an enemy, there must be a gap, once the fight is started, the future troubles are endless, let me say, the border defense must first clear the gang, and then withdraw the regimental training, this is the right way."
The man said that he didn't look at Li Yu and the three of them, and at this moment, he had already stood up, pointed in the direction of the Water Dividing Gang, and said loudly: "Look at the Water Fen Gang, they have done a lot of injustice, and they have done a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason, there are their people in the capital, and the riverside is so domineering, if the Southern Tang Dynasty allows them, wouldn't it be a tiger for trouble?" ”
"Brother Tai is right, if I am the one who leads the troops, I must kill him first." Li Yu slapped his hands and smiled.
What this person said coincided with him, and he was naturally happy.
"It's useless to encircle and suppress, the Water Divide Gang already has rules, and if the officials and soldiers move, they will inevitably be broken into pieces and dispersed, so if you want to deal with him, you will inevitably go straight to the nest and attack him unprepared." The man smiled, drank dry, and threw the jar into the river.
"How to attack it unprepared, please teach me sire." Li Yu already regarded this person as his teacher at this moment, and he had already gotten up and bowed deeply to that person.
The man didn't look back at this moment, naturally he didn't see Li Yu's actions, but he listened to Li Yu's question, thought about it, and then said with a smile: "The Water Dividing Gang is bigger, it is nothing more than a lot of money, most of its subordinates are fishermen, and they loot the township, in fact, if they want to eliminate it in one fell swoop, they only need one chance, someone is undercover in it, they know their actions, trap them in one place, cut their main force, and they can be self-defeating." ”
"What the gentleman said is very true, but it is not easy to say this." Li Yu stood behind the man and slowly spoke in the evening sun.
"If you want to succeed, you must pay something, Liu Mugang, the leader of the Fenshui Gang, is not shrewd, only his military advisors are quite strategic, just hide from this person, everything is easy to say." The man smiled, and the jar in his hand was empty again, and he threw it out.
Hearing what this person said, Li Yu was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that this person knew so much about the Water Dividing Gang.
"The two family members behind Gongzi are very skilled, quite a military general, today Gongzi asked so many things, is Gongzi interested in the attack and defense of the Yangtze River?" At this moment, the man spoke slowly, and the voice fell into Li Yu's ears under the wind blowing in the river breeze.
"What Mr. said is right, the two of them do have kung fu on their bodies, and they were sent by my father to protect me, which made Mr. smile."
The man smiled, turned around, his eyes flashed with essence, swept over Li, sighed, sat down, and said softly: "What do you call Gongzi, you and I are destined, today's cooking wine debate, he will see you again in the future, and I will invite Gongzi back." ”
"Under Li Yu, dare to ask Mr. Gao's surname?" Li Yu smiled slightly and said the name Li Yu.
This name has not yet been used by Li Yu, and his current name is still Li Congjia, so he is not afraid to be associated with His Royal Highness the Sixth of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"My name is Bai Cangxue, my ancestral home is a local, if Li Gongzi is free, you might as well come here often, next time I invite Gongzi to eat good river fish." Bai Cangxue smiled slightly, and then told the captain to turn the rudder and return to the shore.
Seeing the fishing boat slowly approaching the shore, Li Yu couldn't help but ask one of his strangest questions.
"Mr. Bai is talented, why don't you become an official and serve the imperial court?"
"This matter is a long story, if there is a fate, I and Li Gongzi meet again, I will definitely tell each other, it is late today, I am drunk, he has a fate, you and I will meet again." Bai Cangxue said, burped, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, and slowly walked towards the north.
