Chapter 22 The Calculation of the Bureau of the Bureau
Li Yu's words made Tang Hong's heart tremble, Li Yu is the master, he wants to take all the things in the past, this kind of mind and bearing, in today's court, among those princes, should not be there.
As the saying goes: husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster comes, and husband and wife are still like this, not to mention the difference between monarchs and ministers.
He Tang Hong is just a small general, with the respect of Li Yu's prince, in order to protect his innocence, he Tang Hong is sold to him, which is absolutely feasible and easy.
However, Li Yu has to bear it completely, which shows his big-mindedness and generosity.
"No, Your Highness, you and I are walking together, and I have to bear most of the responsibility, and I can't let Your Highness be wronged." Tang Hong straightened his chest, and a look of determination appeared on his face.
Needless to say, Li Yu also knew who did it, and he already had a fixed opinion in his heart, but he didn't have real evidence and couldn't expose the other party's tricks, so he said that he would bear the responsibility after returning to Beijing.
Seeing Tang Hong like this at this moment, he smiled slightly, turned back to Lu Jiang and said, "General Lu, seconded you 10,000 horses and horses to surround this place, I want to count the people and horses, and arrest the spies, I don't know if it's okay." ”
Li Yu's words were very light, only the three people present could hear them, and the rest of the people couldn't hear them.
"Of course, I can't escape the blame for such a thing in the territory under my jurisdiction, and even if Your Highness commands, as long as the general can do it, I will do my best." Lu Jiang bowed and saluted, with a humble attitude.
Although Lu Jiang is a little unruly, he is old, and secondly, he has just heard that Li Yu is willing to bear the responsibility alone, and his impression of Li Yu has changed from the original, only thinking that Li Yu is very generous, to feeling that Li Yu is very righteous, and he has the arrogance of some martial artists in the army, so his attitude towards Li Yu is much better than just now.
Li Yu nodded, and then ordered Tang Hong to pass the order, all the soldiers who escorted the silver taels and the quartermaster must stay in place and standby, not to move, and soon they will have the next step.
Tang Hong received the order and immediately passed the order to the general, ordering the army to stand by and not to act privately.
After the people in the army received the order, it was very strange that now that such a major event happened, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness did not say how to deal with it, but had to stand by on the spot, which was very different from the way ordinary generals in the army handled it.
After the order was delivered, Li Yu and Lu Jiang returned to the palace.
As soon as he sat down, Li Yu waved his hand and ordered the servants in Lu Jiang's mansion to retreat and close the door, he sighed and said to the two people in front of him: "Two generals, this matter is quite important, the three of us must find out the truth, so that we can give an explanation to the inside, if we don't explain, after we go back, General Tang and I will be heavily punished, and General Lu will not escape punishment, so the three of us must work together now." ”
"Of course." Lu Jiang patted his chest, although he was old, his voice was like a bell, his physique was burly, and he looked like a soldier who was fierce and mighty.
Tang Hong nodded, although his face was pale, but at this moment he had some confidence because of Li Yu's words just now.
"Sixth Highness, if you have any orders, just say, we will do our best." Tang Hong stabilized his mind and said.
"Immediately set about getting three hundred carts, loaded with goods, and saying that it was silver taels and military quartermasters, but that we were afraid that something would happen on the road, so we escorted them in the name of a caravan, and that the silver taels and military supplies that were destroyed were only one-third of them." Li Yu said without thinking, his tone firm and powerful.
"That's okay, but what is the intention of the Sixth Highness's plan, you might as well say that you know it with the two of us, so that we can understand it in our hearts." After all, Lu Jiang is older and very stable, so he asked Li Yu the purpose of this plan.
Li Yu smiled slightly, and tapped his fingers lightly on the desk next to him twice, and then said: "I was ambushed on the road, the enemy did not contact the escort vehicle, and in the chaos of the army, no one paid attention to whether there were any of their own people, so now the silver and military supplies are all destroyed, the enemy's trip is not simply a robbery, and you and I don't know why its goal is."
But one thing is very clear, if they do this, General Tang and I will definitely not be lucky, even if we do not die in the army, we will also die in the court, in this case, if there is another batch of silver and two troops to escort in, naturally the spies must report to get the instructions from above, whether to continue to attack, so we just need to wait for the rabbit. ”
Li Yu was a special soldier in his previous life, although he had not participated in large-scale conquest battles, but when it was his turn to war, he had learned a lot more than the two in front of him.
When the two people in front of them heard Li Yu say this, their eyes couldn't help but flash with admiration.
Someone destroyed the silver taels and military supplies, and should have already made a plan to destroy all the escorted goods if the looting failed, which was obviously aimed at Li Yu and the others.
And who would do this, needless to say, the two generals also had a vague shadow in their hearts.
"What His Royal Highness said is very true, I will arrange it." Lu Jiang listened to what Li Yu said, although he was not very detailed, but he already understood the key points of the entire plan, so he got up and left his seat and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
Seeing Lu Jiang leaving, Tang Hong couldn't help frowning, and said softly to Li Yu: "Sixth Highness, do you think Lu Jiang is reliable?" ”
"Oh? How could General Tang ask such a question? Li Yu didn't expect Tang Hong to ask such a question.
"The place where we are waiting for an ambush is only a hundred miles away from Chizhou, we have been fighting for a long time, how can Chizhou not know at all?" Tang Hong frowned and analyzed.
"General Tang rest assured, Lu Jiang is very loyal, and he will never do anything to loot silver taels and damage military supplies, and he has no reason to harm us." Li Yu immediately defended Lu Jiang.
In fact, Li Yu is not very familiar with Lu Jiang as a person, but throughout Lu Jiang's life, although he was a little nonsense when he was young, after joining the army, he was bold, even with the ability of the Northern Song Dynasty, he never seriously subdued Lu Jiang and returned to obedience.
It is speculated that Lu Jiang is not the kind of person who uses conspiracy methods, and Li Yu will have a talented comment.
"That being said, it's just that the last general feels that there are tens of thousands of iron horsemen in this place, and he, as a local leading general, doesn't know anything about it, which is a bit unreasonable, if he didn't overlook, or he knew about it and didn't stop it." Tang Hong said it very tactfully, but the meaning in his words was obvious, he was saying that Lu Jiang might be the culprit who sent troops to ambush his side.
Li Yu shook his head lightly and smiled indifferently: "General Tang is too worried, Lu Jiang is not a confused person, I look at his appearance, he will definitely do a lot in the future, he is guarding the riverside at the moment, and when our army goes on the Northern Expedition in the future, he will be one of the brave generals of our dynasty, and he is a person, I believe." “
Li Yu said eloquently, refuted Tang Hong's opinions, and he only said a few words after the end, "Don't suspect people and don't use suspicious people." ”
Tang Hong carefully tasted the meaning of Li Yu's words, and after a long time, he also let go of some of his wariness against Lu Jiang.
At this moment, Lu Jiang had already come back from outside, and with one foot outside the door and one foot in the door, he said loudly, "Sixth Highness, everything is ready to stop, just wait for the fish to take the bait." ”
