On the second day of the eighth section, Wu Ming got up early in the morning, took Zuo Ying, who also got up early, and went to the governor's mansion of Zhuhuai.

The two sat in a carriage, listening to the rustling of the carriage and the rustling of the drizzle on the canopy, and did not speak. After a while, he arrived at the governor's mansion, and the secretary who guarded the door was still lifeless at first, and after Wu Ming reported his name, he immediately put on a smile and said: "The governor is in the palace, please come with me." ”

The Governor's Mansion of Zhuhuai is very large, and the Si Yan took two people, and he didn't know how many pavilions he had made and turned a few corners. Finally, he stopped beside a building that looked very large, walked to the door, and said, "My lord, Lord Wu, the commander of the guard battalion, is here. ”

"Oh-" There was a long response from inside, and it seemed that he was also very surprised by Wu Ming's arrival. After a long end note, a middle-aged man's voice came from inside: "Please." Then he saluted the two of them and withdrew. Wu Ming took the left shadow and walked straight into the hall.

In the middle of the hall hangs a flat forehead, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and four big characters are written: "Scholarly Mansion".

There was a chubby middle-aged man sitting on the main seat, looking at the two of them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a large group of people were sitting below, one of whom was the one who arranged Wu Ming's residence a few days ago. Seeing Wu Ming coming, everyone turned their heads to look, and their eyes were a little suspicious. Wu Ming's arrival was indeed a bit unexpected by everyone. Wu Ming glanced at it, and immediately determined that the person on the throne must be Zhu Huai, the governor of Jiangnan.

Zhu Huai pointed to a chair next to him, and the smile on his face did not decrease: "Commander Wu is a nobleman, and he has been promoted recently, which is gratifying." I was thinking about when to visit and congratulate, but I didn't expect that I didn't know what wind was blowing today, and I was really ashamed to blow you here. ”

With his respect as a governor, it was naturally impossible for him to visit Wu Ming first, and his words were clearly complimenting Wu Ming, but secretly he was blaming Wu Ming for not being careful. Wu Ming wiped a cold sweat, hugged his fists and saluted: "I wish the governor a great name, the kid has heard about it so far, when he first arrived in your place, he wanted to visit the door for a long time, but recently the kid's body has occasionally contracted a cold, and it is really not suitable to travel, so it is delayed, and I hope that the governor will not be strange." ”

Zhu Huai smiled slightly, and didn't say anything to Wu Ming on this issue, pointed to the chair next to him, and said, "Commander Wu, please take a seat." After speaking, he put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said, "Lord Wu is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, let's continue to discuss the topic just now." ”

It seems that Zhu Huai was discussing important matters with these people just now, Wu Ming was a little uneasy, and when he was about to stand up and say goodbye, a person stood up below, made a salute and said loudly: "My lord, this matter of Guangyang, my subordinates still feel that it is not appropriate to delay it anymore, and they should do their best to urge the eldest prince to lead the army to break the city, so that it will be done once and for all." Otherwise, there is such a lonely city in the rear, which is always unhappy. This person was wearing a military uniform, stood up, and his whole body armor also shook, "clattering", obviously a military general.

Wu Ming was taken aback, the siege of Guangyang, he knew about it through the dictation of Guò Li Mopa some time ago. By now, I'm afraid it's been nearly three months of siege, right? It's really an outlier that the city hasn't been broken yet. It seems that these people are discussing the siege of Guangyang.

As soon as he finished speaking, several people stood up, clenched their fists and said loudly: "Subordinates and others will be attached to General Dai Yu!" "These people are all dressed in military generals' attire, and it seems that the opinions of this general Dai Yu represent the meaning of most military generals.

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in white on the side stood up, stared at Dai Yu and said slowly: "General Dai, there are many things, which can not be solved by fighting and killing, although the Queen Mother is standing on our side, but compared with the north, our military strength is still greatly inferior, not to mention, the other party occupies Kyoto, that is the real capital, in the hearts of the people, we are not superior, and now rashly tearing face with the north, but it is harmful and unprofitable." After speaking, he saluted Zhu Huai and said unhurriedly: "My lord, my subordinates feel that it is really not a good opportunity to break the city now." Or don't move for the time being, and then do what he thinks. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several people, including Shi Zhan, stood up with a "hula" voice, and also said loudly: "The subordinates think that Lord Liu Ze is reasonable." ”

Wu Ming suddenly felt that the siege of Guangyang was not because Zhu Huai could not break the city, but because he was afraid of intensifying the contradiction between the north and the south and did not want to break the city. Judging from the current situation, the two mainstream opinions are at odds with each other, and it is not known how long they will be discussed. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and when he sat on the chair, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he was uncomfortable, even though the chair was wide and flat, and there would never be a burr on the chair surface.

Zhu Huai's eyes swept away, Wu Ming's expression was in full view, he grabbed the cup on the table, took a small sip, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Wu is the leader of wisdom and bravery, I don't know, but there is a good way to teach me?" Wu Ming's mind is now full of paste, where he will think about these questions, hearing Zhu Huai suddenly come to ask, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he was about to stand up, saying two words of shirk to prevaricate the past, the left shadow behind him suddenly pushed the wheelchair out from behind, and said loudly: "Such a simple thing, why bother my family, the small one can be solved." ”

Wu Ming was taken aback and exclaimed, "Little Shadow ......"

Zuo Ying had already pushed the wheelchair and slowly reached the middle of the hall, and said in his mouth: "Now that the north and the south are facing each other, our side cannot advance or retreat." Similarly, the north is also in a dilemma, so the subordinates feel that the words of the two adults are reasonable. A small synthesis is a brilliant idea. ”

Zhu Huai was immediately aroused by Zuo Ying's interest, and said with a smile: "Go on." ”

Zuo Ying bowed in the wheelchair, cleared his throat and continued: "As Master Dai said, we must destroy this city, after all, Guangyang is located in our rear, and it is close to Nanban, and it will change later. In the same way, Lord Liu also said very reasonably, and it is not appropriate for us to turn our faces with the north now. Therefore, the small construction can let the eldest prince besiege Guangyang and not let anyone enter the city, and as time goes by, the grain in the city will run out, and Guangyang will destroy itself. In this way, the city was naturally broken, and it was not attacked by us, and the north had nothing to say. ”

Everyone below looked at each other, and after a while, the civil official named Liu Ze stood up, shook his head and said: "In this way, isn't it a big loss of people's hearts, and those who win the hearts of the people win the world, although this plan is a good plan, but now it is used to make it a little poisonous." ”

In the eighth year of Emperor Rong, Beimeng besieged Humen City, and when the city was broken, the bark and grass roots in the city were eaten up. The people even changed their children and ate them. At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was shaken, and Confucian scholars even scolded Beimeng for being "barbaric and cruel" and "its crimes are difficult to write"...... This incident has affected the present day, and to this day, there are still many Confucian scholars in the Eastern Han Dynasty who use this incident to attack Northern Mongolia.

However, the Eastern Han Dynasty and Northern Mongolia were almost always on the defensive, and most of the land of Northern Mongolia was grassland, and there were almost no cities, so there was naturally no way to besiege the city. So everyone knows that this is just an excuse for the Eastern Han Dynasty to be angry. The so-called impermanence of the army and the use of everything to the extreme, this is the truth.

However, Liu Ze's worries are not unreasonable. We are now in a delicate period, and all means should be thought twice.

Zhu Huai thought for a while and said with a smile: "What this little brother said is not unreasonable, Lord Wu's subordinates are indeed full of talents." Although he did not agree to this plan, but there was no appreciation in his words, Wu Ming's heart sank, and he was about to open his mouth to say two words like another way, Zhu Huai had already waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's stop here for the time being, you can disperse." ”

The next civil and military generals agreed, and retreated outward, and when they were leaving, Liu Ze and Dai Yu both glanced at the left shadow, and their eyes were thoughtful.

After such an episode, Wu Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, at first he was still thinking about how to open his mouth to Zhu Huai, but now it is much more natural, sure enough, when he said Zuo Ying's request to Zhu Huai's account on an errand, Zhu Huai agreed without hesitation.

Now that everything has been arranged, Wu Ming and Zhu Huai exchanged a few words of greeting again, then hugged their fists and said, "I wish my lord, I will be grateful for today's events." If there is nothing else important, I will take my leave. Zhu Huai said with a smile: "Commander Wu is really polite, there are still a few days, Nanning Academy will hold a sacrificial event, and then Niangniang will also participate, Lord Wu, don't forget, don't always nest in the house." In the future, we will be ministers in the same hall, and I hope that Lord Wu will be happy and move around more. ”

He was still blaming himself for not being polite, Wu Ming said secretly in his heart, his face was also slightly red, he agreed, walked to Zuo Ying, patted the other party, and said: "Xiaoying, you take care of yourself in the future...... " Zuo Ying didn't even raise his head, and said coldly: "I know, thank you Lord Wu." ”

Wu Ming sighed, didn't say anything more, and after saluting Zhu Huai again, he walked out of the hall. As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw that Dai Yu and Liu Ze were still standing outside, the two of them were standing together, talking, and there was still the tension when they were discussing in the hall just now. A large group of civil and military generals stood around the two of them, letting out bursts of laughter. As soon as he saw Wu Ming come out, this large group of people surrounded him, and they lined up everyone, and greeted from afar: "Commander Wu, congratulations, you have to invite me to drink." ”

He is a self-acquaintance, Wu Ming smiled and said: "Brother Shi has a life, don't dare to disobey." Although I was poor, I could afford a glass of wine. After that night's incident, he was frustrated for a long time, and it is really appropriate to describe it as poor. Shi Zhan didn't hear the self-deprecation in his words, but said: "Then you're welcome, the commander of the dignified guard battalion has a treat, and ordinary people can't eat it." ”

At this time, Liu Ze and Dai Yu led a group of civil and military officers to come over, and Shi Zhan pointed at Liu Ze and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, this is Liu Ze, the current Jiangnan Governor, and the future Ministry of Industry is also the secretary." ”
