Chapter 21, there is something to be done
Wen Chou and Zhou Zhi, who had just entered the door, heard this, and couldn't help but glance at each other, but they really didn't figure out what was going on. It stands to reason that Zhao Yu, Sun Gao and others have the same idea as them, and they all think that they should quickly send troops to open a gap while there is still a certain strength in the city, and at least they should connect with the volunteers who came to the aid from various counties.
After listening to Liu Cheng's words at this time, it seems that something big has happened?
Wen Chou was anxious, and immediately stepped forward to ask. Who knows that before he could speak, Zhao Yu said loudly without abating: "If you try to break through and open up a channel to contact the outside world, this matter is indisputable." Childe, you are going to send a team of elite cavalry to break through and go straight to Yuyang County, isn't this child's play? ”
As soon as Zhao Yu's words came out, Wen Chou and Zhou Zhi immediately understood what was going on.
They never expected that the eldest prince Liu Cheng would be such a child's play, although Yuyang County borders Youbeiping County, but there are still more than 500 miles away from Pinggang County. Not to mention that it is very difficult to break through, the troops after the breakthrough are not in a hurry to organize reinforcements from their own county, but they go all the way to Yuyang County. The time consumed by going back and forth, even if Yuyang County is willing to send reinforcements, by the time the reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that the situation in Pinggang County will be very different.
Liu Cheng was furious, and reprimanded: "Child's play? At present, the only one who can save our right Beiping County is Yuyang County. Do you really expect the counties in the north of the county to send reinforcements? It was said that the reinforcements should have arrived seven days ago, but now, not even a ghost shadow was seen. Okay, even if there are no reinforcements coming in because the city is trapped, are they considered reinforcements? It's nothing more than a hundred and so brave counties in each county, what can you expect them to help? ”
Sun Gao sighed secretly, he naturally had a lot of things to say in his heart, but there were too many disrespectful words in these words, so he could only put his distress in his heart as much as possible.
Zhao Yu looked at Liu Cheng with disbelief, shook his head in endless disappointment, and said with a sigh: "Son, you actually think like this in your heart? In the end, that Zhang is a pure character who is so virtuous and capable that you believe in him so irrationally? Although the county is in turmoil, there is no shortage of benevolent and righteous people, and although there are not many reinforcements in the northern counties of the county, they are fortunate to be able to deal with it outside. If Gongzi's words just now spread, I can assert that Youbeiping County will lose its hands. ”
Liu Cheng, as the eldest son of the former Taishou, has the blood of the royal family, and has been pampered since he was a child, how can he stand such sarcastic rebuttals and confrontations. He was so angry that his whole body trembled, he just hoped to do something for the county government, but weishenme must be controlled and opposed by so many people? Thinking about it, since the Taishou Mansion welcomed him back to Youbeiping County from the capital, there were no details in the county, and he almost didn't have the power to completely make up his mind, and it was completely operated and managed by these former staff members and old subordinates.
He is coming back to inherit his father's business, not to be a puppet of his father's old department.
It was precisely because of this thought in his heart that he became more and more paranoid that he had to do it no matter what. Now it is no longer a question of right or wrong, good or bad, but a question of the status of the eldest prince of Youbeiping County.
At this time, Wen Chou didn't pay attention to the complicated changes in Liu Cheng's face at all, he strode forward and shouted in a loud voice: "Son, what do you not understand?" I'm trapped in Pinggang County, don't Yuyang County know yet, if he really has the heart to help, even if I don't ask, he will take the initiative to come. Otherwise, no matter how many people we send to ask for help, we will still get nothing. Even a big man like me understands this truth, why don't you understand it, son? ”
Liu Cheng glared at Wen Chou with angry eyes, raised his hand to slap the case, interrupted the voices of His Royal Highness, and said unceremoniously: "Shut up for me." Why, are you trying to disobey? ”
Everyone in the hall was silent, they didn't succumb to Liu Cheng's prestige, but they were just surprised that Liu Cheng had become so arbitrary today. On weekdays, as long as there is a majority to dissuade a certain matter, Liu Cheng will politely agree with everyone's opinions, but at such a critical moment today, this eldest prince doesn't know what is crazy, so he can no longer listen to a word. How can it not be surprising that something so abnormal, and so serious, is it so serious?
Seeing that everyone was no longer squeaking, Liu Cheng finally found a sense of majesty, he mistakenly thought that these people were suppressed by his own momentum, so he further emphasized: "This is an order, within three days, we must send a group of elite cavalry to break through to Yuyang County for help, I personally attach a copy, even if the Yuyang County government refuses to send reinforcements, Zhang Boren will not bear me!" ”
Wen Chou was the most impatient, he originally planned to continue to persuade patiently, but since Liu Cheng took out "this is an order" to pressure them, if he still wants to refute, it will inevitably become disobeying the order, and this kind of thing of crossing the thunder pool is not something that anyone dares to do easily. Even if Zuihou proves that disobeying orders is not wrong, it will cause reputational damage, and I am afraid that there will be no other way out in the future. Immediately, he snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned around and walked away without saying a word.
Zhao Yu and Sun Gao glanced at Wen Chou, and wanted to persuade him speechlessly, but immediately set their eyes on Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi didn't say a word after entering the door, but his mood was the same as that of others, thinking that Liu Cheng had made such a decision too much. Not only is it big, but to say something ugly is unreasonable. But he has Confucianism in his heart, and even a reckless person like Wen Chou can't easily resist the Lord's orders, let alone himself?
At this time, Liu Cheng turned to Zhou Zhi and explained straightforwardly: "Captain Zhou, this matter will be arranged by you." Tomorrow will give me a thorough answer. ”
Zhou Zhi was helpless, he knew that he had just learned to be ugly and walked away, so that he would not take on this thankless task.
He didn't speak, just nodded plausibly.
Zhao Yu said to Liu Cheng: "Think twice about this matter, but you can't ...... because you are angry for a while."
Liu Cheng yelled and interrupted Zhao Yu's words: "Shut up." In vain, I valued you so much, and promoted you to be the county commander, but you fought against me everywhere. If you dare to say more about this, you won't have to come to Taishou Mansion tomorrow. He had a lot of fire in his heart today, especially Zhao Yu, who repeatedly contradicted him, if he didn't take into account the feelings of the past, he really wanted to get rid of this thorn in the flesh immediately.
Zhao Yu let out a long sigh and didn't say anything else, but there were still many unwillingness in his heart.
At nightfall, Wen Chou and Zhou Zhi came to Zhao Yu's mansion.
Although Zhao Yu is not a capable person, he also claims to be not a despicable villain, and now that the county is trapped, Liu Cheng is so unreasonable and troublesome, he is bound to fall into the whole city in dire straits. In order to take into account the overall situation, he deliberately sent his cronies to invite Wen Chou and Zhou Zhi to the mansion to discuss matters after leaving the Taishou Mansion.
There are still half pickled lamb shanks left in the family for the beginning of spring this year, and the central people have taken all the half of the lamb shanks and cooked them.
The three of them sat around the fire in the small hall, roasting lamb shanks and drinking home-brewed water and wine.
Wen Chou is rude, the weather is not as cold as two months ago, and it is a little hot and dry by the fire, so he simply took off his coat. He was informal, grabbed the mutton directly with his hands, and took a big bite on it.
Zhao Yu's mind was not on eating and drinking at all, and after drinking three glasses of wine in a sullen voice, he let out a long sigh and said: "I was originally a classmate of Liu Gongzi in a private school. A month ago, when he was invited to serve as a county minister, he also visited in person. How could he have expected that it had only been so long for Liu Gongzi to become so reckless. Alas...... What is the point of that Zhang Chun, but Liu Gongzi is so obsessed. ”
Wen Chou swallowed a piece of mutton, wiped his mouth with his arm, and said angrily: "I heard that Zhang Chun is just a rich man in Yuyang County, what ability can he have to reach the sky?" The first few times the grain and grass sent down by Yuyang County were all short of catties and catties, and I was not optimistic about any of the people in Yuyang. ”
Zhao Yu sighed again, shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not that Zhang Chun is good or bad, if Zhang Chun really has the ability to help us break the siege, it will not be a good thing." It's just that it's far away to Yuyang, and Zhang Chun is just a rich man, even if he is willing to contribute money and efforts, it is a drop in the bucket. ”
As early as the day of Taishou Liu Zheng's assassination, Wen Chou had a premonition that a series of accidents in Youbeiping County were secretly operated by the people behind the scenes, although he could not determine the true intentions of this person, but it is conceivable that many things are not as simple as they seem. Especially after the grain and grass sent to Youbeiping County some time ago was manipulated, he had to suspect that there must be something wrong with Yuyang County, and he would not easily trust anyone in Yuyang County.
"Hmph, since it's a drop in the bucket, there's no need to talk about such nonsense."
He licked the flesh foam off his fingers and muttered angrily.
At this moment, Zhou Zhi, who didn't speak much, said with a depressed face: "Listening to Liu Gongzi's scholar Wensheng, it seems that Liu Gongzi already knew Zhang Chun when he was in the capital. There are also two or three years of contact before and after, and I can often hear Liu Gongzi say that Zhang Chun is a person who is truly loyal to the liver and courage, and he can create a great career over time. ”
Zhao Yu's face was not good-looking, and he said disdainfully: "As the so-called knowing people and knowing faces do not know their hearts, there are countless ambitious people in this world, what Zhang Chun, if he is really capable, why should he still be unknown today." ”
Wen Chou didn't want to talk about Zhang Chun anymore, he wiped his greasy hand on his shirt, turned to Zhou Zhi and asked, "Brother Zhou, how do you plan to arrange this matter." Did you really follow his orders to go to Yuyang like this? If that's the case, I don't think we're far from breaking the city. Hum! ”
The reason why Zhou Zhi didn't speak before was because he was worried about this matter in his heart. Hearing Wen Chou's inquiry, his face suddenly became even more sad, and he said helplessly: "To be honest, I should have left with you at that time, this mess was on my shoulders, alas, it was really miserable." ”
Wen Chou shook his head, and then reached out to grab the mutton again.
Zhao Yu didn't know what to say, but drank a few more glasses of stuffy wine in a sullen voice.
There was silence for a while, and only the sound of firewood bursting in the fireplace could be heard in the small hall, and the sound of Wen Chou biting mutton.
I don't know how long it took, Zhou Zhi suddenly said again: "I thought that the general would be disaffected by the king's life outside." ”
When Wen Chou and Zhao Yu heard this, they all focused their eyes on Zhou Zhi-
