Volume 2 Half Landscape and Half Fate 033 Long-term strategy
The next day, Qiu Yizhi got up early again, and after saying hello to Zheng Miao, he went to visit His Royal Highness Zheng Xin.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xin entered the palace early in the morning, which made Qiu Yizhi pounce. The camp of the forbidden army was close to the left, so Qiu Yizhi took the opportunity to change his plan and went to visit his brother-in-law Chi Lianghong and Marshal Dai Luanxiang.
The forbidden army has 200,000 or 300,000 people, stationed in various camps around the capital Luoyang, and only more than 20,000 people are stationed in the so-called "forbidden army camp" in the capital. However, these 20,000 people are the elite of the elite of the forbidden army, and they are the only mobile force that can be called upon at any time in the capital, so they are extremely important.
Therefore, the defense of the forbidden army camp is not inferior to the imperial city, and it is not easy for ordinary people to enter.
Fortunately, Qiu Yizhi was also born in the army, and after Zheng Rong's "Battle of Rebellion" was successful, he selected his cronies in the Youyan Army to insert An into the forbidden army as an officer at all levels. Therefore, after some twists and turns, Qiu Yizhi finally found an old Youyan official who was familiar with him, and under his leadership, entered the forbidden army camp.
Today's forbidden army is still nominally under the advice of the Ministry of War, but in fact it is controlled by Zheng Rong's second son Zheng Sen. However, although Zheng Sen is a good hand at leading troops to fight, he is unable to do the copywriting work, so the daily affairs of the forbidden army are currently in charge of the former general Dai Luanxiang, and the army drills are handed over to Wei Chi Lianghong, the leader of the martial arts alliance.
Former general Dai Luanxiang is also Qiu Yizhi's deceased.
He was originally the number one general in the imperial court except for Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, and in the battle of rebellion, he was the fierce enemy of the Youyan army - he led the army alone to garrison Henan Province, which actually made the Youyan army of the world's lions helpless. For this reason, Qiu Yizhi, with the support of Zheng Rong and Zhong Likuang, skillfully used discord tactics and serial schemes to force Dai Luanxiang to take refuge in Zheng Rong. Since then, Zheng Rong has defeated Qian Qing and Bai Wenbo, and won the Jingshi very smoothly and ascended to the emperor. Therefore, Dai Luanxiang's surrender can be described as a turning point in the "battle of rebellion".
After becoming emperor, he reappointed Dai Luanxiang as the former general of the forbidden army and assisted Zheng Sen in presiding over the affairs of the military department.
Therefore, when Qiu Yizhi entered the camp of the forbidden army, the first thing he did was to go straight to the big tent of the Chinese army and come to visit the famous Marshal Dai.
At the beginning, Qiu Yizhi had rescued Dai Luanxiang's family from the hands of the minions of the Quanshan Division, so Dai Luanxiang was also very happy when he heard that Qiu Yi had come to visit before, and immediately put down the affairs in his hand and went out to greet him.
Qiu Yizhi had some greetings when he saw Dai Luanxiang.
However, when he was enveloping Dai Luanxiang for his father-in-law Zheng Rong, he didn't use a completely upright strategy, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but feel a little weak-hearted, and after saying a few words, he asked him where Wei Chi Lianghong was.
Before the words fell, he saw Yu Chi Lianghong walking briskly from a distance.
It turned out that when he heard the news that Qiu Yizhi was coming, he immediately handed over the envoy to his subordinates to handle the exercise, and he came to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Yu Chi Lianghong and Qiu Yizhi are brothers who are righteous, and they were born and died together several times, and their love has long been extraordinary. Therefore, after Yu Chi Lianghong met Dai Luanxiang, he dragged Qiu Yizhi to his daily office tent to talk.
The two talked happily, and when it came to the time of Yu Chi Jiming, Qiu Yizhi exclaimed: "The ancients often said: 'Tiger fathers have no dog girls', and the younger brother only appreciated it a few days ago. Ji Ming's martial arts are strong, and his work is quite reliable, I think he has the demeanor of a brother! β
Yu Chi Lianghong sighed and said, "The foolish brother has two sons and one daughter under his knees. Only Ji Ming's daughter is extraordinary, and I may not be her opponent in time. But the two sons are mediocre in qualifications, even if they practice to the top, they are just ordinary first-class masters, and it is absolutely impossible to call them the first in the world! β
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "My brother is a person who is outstanding, how can he still have the prejudice of a stupid man and a foolish woman in his heart? I think Ji Ming is very good, and he is not inferior to ordinary men. β
Yu Chi Lianghong nodded, sighed and said, "The virtuous brother praised it." But our Wei Chi family is a martial arts family, and it is not a long-term solution for a girl to show her face outside. Even if she is really a martial artist, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not say that there is no successor to my Wei Chi family. β
Qiu Yizhi waved his hand again and said, "Brother, what he said is wrong again. The leader of the martial arts alliance is like the throne, you see the emperor sitting firmly on the dragon chair, but among the generations of dynasties, who dares to guarantee that every emperor's wisdom and martial arts are the first in the world? β
When Yu Chi Lianghong heard this, he was immediately stunned, and looked at Qiu Yizhi in surprise with his eyes.
Qiu Yizhi realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly said: "The younger brother said something wrong, brother don't spread it." β
Yu Chi Lianghong hurriedly agreed, and listened to Qiu Yizhi say: "Then I'll change the example." Has my brother heard of the Heavenly Venerable Sect? β
Yu Chi Lianghong is a person who has been in danger for a long time, and Tianzun naturally has a lot of contact with him, but he didn't know what Qiu Yizhi wanted to say, so he asked: "Why did Brother Xian mention the Tianzun Cult for no reason?" β
Qiu Yizhi grinned and said: "I don't know if my brother knows that the successive sect leaders of the Tianzun Sect were all inherited by the Wen family, and they are no different from the dynasties of the previous dynasties. β
Yu Chi Lianghong shook his head and said, "Of course it's not ......."
Before Qiu Yizhi could continue, he grabbed the conversation and said, "That brother has ever thought about why this Wen family has been able to make the demons bow down to him for hundreds of years? β
These words really stopped Wei Chi Lianghong, and he couldn't think of an answer for a long time, so he had to ask: "Brother Fool is a martial artist, how can I know the truth here?" I also ask the virtuous brother for advice. β
Qiu Yizhi said "don't dare", and said: "I think it's just four words, 'hide the head and show the tail'." Take the current Tianzun Sect Master as an example, everyone obeys his orders, but no one knows his whereabouts, so naturally they don't know how much ability he has. Since he didn't know how capable he was, he didn't dare to make trouble easilyβafter all, if this sect leader was really heroic, then he would die and have no place to be buried. β
Although Wei Chi Lianghong is not a stupid person, he is a complete layman when it comes to politics, and he still didn't guess the meaning of Qiu Yizhi's words, and only stared at Qiu Yizhi with a pair of eyes.
Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "Brother is still too sincere, and he can't see through the mystery." Then I'll make it clear - brother, as well as the predecessors of the previous generations of my brother, martial arts are extremely famous in the rivers and lakes, and such prestige has been accumulated over several generations, and I am afraid that there are few people in the rivers and lakes who dare to come up rashly at the cost of their lives. Even if there is an outlaw who dares to make a head rafter, then the Wei Chi family only needs to send Ji Mingxian's niece out to send it away, and there will definitely be another rumor in the rivers and lakes at that time - a woman in the Yu Chi family is so powerful, let alone a few family members. β
When Yu Chi Lianghong heard Qiu Yizhi's words here, he couldn't help but be amazed, and said in surprise: "Brother Xian is really smart, he actually came up with such a tricky and slippery scheme!" Foolish brother is fortunate to be a brother with you, otherwise once he becomes an enemy of you, he will not know how he will die. β
Qiu Yizhi scratched his head and said with a smile: "Brother, what he said, the younger brother is embarrassed. However, the younger brother still has a reluctant request, and wants to borrow Ji Mingxian's niece by his side, so that he can be a guard. β
Yu Chi Lianghong nodded and said, "Ji Ming also told me about the matter of the virtuous brother. This 'Miao Zhen Jushi' martial arts path is very strange, unheard of in the Central Plains, unseen and unseen, if it weren't for Ji Ming's martial arts foundation, but it was much stronger than her, otherwise it would inevitably suffer. According to Brother Yu, it would be good to let her follow Brother Xian to investigate the situation, and maybe she would be able to eliminate a disaster in the martial arts! β
"Good!" Qiu Yizhi heard that Yu Chi Lianghong had agreed, and said very happily, "It's a pity that Ji Ming is a woman after all, otherwise the younger brother would have to ask the emperor to reward her with a reputation!" β
Unexpectedly, Yu Chi Lianghong actually sighed and said, "Brother Xian, don't mention the matter of being an official again." The foolish brother is thinking about how to abandon the official and not do it. β
Qiu Yizhi was shocked: "Brother is also a fourth-rank military general now, right?" With such an official position, ordinary soldiers don't know how many times they have to die on the battlefield before they can get it back, so why do they think about not being an official? β
Wei Chi Lianghong sighed again and said: "Since becoming this military attachΓ©, the foolish brother has been training the soldiers of the forbidden army all day long, and he has not had any free time. The emperor sent me an envoy to restrain the people in the martial arts, and these heroes all know that I am a person from the court, although I am still polite in my mouth, but in my heart I really look down on me, the 'court eagle dog'. β
As soon as Wei Chi Lianghong said this, it was Qiu Yizhi's turn to be speechless.
He thought about how unruly he was in the Youyan Palace, but since he became such an unruly petty official, he was not going well everywhere, and he didn't know how much idleness he suffered.
He also thought about abandoning his official position and returning to the mountains and forests. However, his father-in-law, Zheng Rong, who is the current emperor, may not be willing to let him, who knows the details and has many tricks, survive in the world.
So Qiu Yizhi was helpless, half comforting Yu Chi Lianghong, half comforting himself, and said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all heaven's grace." Since you and my brother are in this son, you must be responsible with all your heart. What's more, the will of heaven is unpredictable, don't you know that it is also a great blessing to have an official and a half-position in the imperial court! β
When Wei Chi Lianghong heard this, he felt a little relieved, and then turned back to the topic and said: "The little girl also mentioned it in front of the foolish brother, saying that she greatly admired the virtuous brother's personality and intelligence, and in just a few days in Jiangnan, she made several good friends outside the martial arts. The foolish brother seems to be willing to experience by the side of the virtuous brother. I have been too doting on this daughter since I was a child, and since she is willing to go, I will bother my brother to discipline me more. β
Qiu Yizhi was naturally happy when he heard it, thanked him repeatedly, and then picked a light topic and talked with Wei Chi Lianghong.
The two brothers said that there was a full hour, and Qiu Yi had to visit His Royal Highness Zheng Xin for the sake of Qiu Yi, so they had to leave. Where is Wei Chi Lianghong willing to follow, he dragged Qiu Yizhi to have lunch on his side in vain, and then he was reluctant to let him out.
At this time, it was past noon, and it was the time when Zheng Xin came back to his house, Qiu Yi went to visit before, and happened to walk with Zheng Xin.
Zheng Xinyin had already received the envoy from his father to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect and secretly try the case, and knew that he was the first prince to go out on an errand since the establishment of the new dynasty, and this matter must not only be handled well, but also handled beautifully, so as to leave a good impression in front of his father. Therefore, it is even more necessary to rely on Qiu Yizhi, a righteous brother who can speak in front of the emperor.
So Zheng Xin invited Qiu Yizhi into the palace very enthusiastically, inquired in detail about the cause of the case, and exchanged coping strategies, and talked about the declining days until he finished speaking.
Zheng Xin originally wanted to keep Qiu Yizhi to eat in the palace, but Qiu Yizhi didn't want to disturb too much, so he said goodbye and went out for an excuse, casually found a stall on the side of the road, hastily ate some ordinary meals to pass the cravings in his stomach, and then returned to Zheng Miao's palace to sleep overnight.
