CHAPTER XVIII
The two of them took more than 100 cavalry guards, galloping along the way, and after a while, they had arrived at the Demiao Fu Mansion. After the Miao Fu got off the horse, he joined hands with Liu Zhengyan and went all the way to the outside of his study.
The closer he got, the more solemn his expression became, and when he got outside the study, he even lightened his steps.
Liu Zhengyan looked at Daqi, this Miao Fu has always regarded himself very highly, and even Wang Yuan pressed him, which made him extremely dissatisfied, he was so respectful today, but he didn't know who the person in the room could make him look so high.
There was a light like a bean in the room, and two figures were sitting in the room, talking opposite each other.
Miao Fu coughed first, and then stepped in.
Liu Zhengyan followed and entered the room. But I saw a red-faced middle-aged Taoist man in a blue robe and a sword hanging from his waist, sitting facing him. Seeing Liu Zhengyan enter the room, the man looked at it, and his eyes were shining, so that he didn't dare to force his eyes.
"General Miao, let's say that we won't see any outsiders, why did you bring someone here?"
The Taoist also ignored Liu Zhengyan, only raised his face and forced Miao Fu to ask.
Miao Fu smiled all over his face, rubbed his hands and replied: "This is General Liu, the deputy commander of the imperial camp, and he is not an outsider. And because of the plan to defend the city, I have a bad idea alone, and I need to know that General Liu will work together, so I invited him to come, Yao Zhenren don't mind. β
This person is Yao Pingzhong, he is a general of the Western Army, when Jingkang changed and rescued Tokyo with the seed master, Miao Fu was just a middle-level officer of the forbidden army, who had served under him, and admired him very much, and was very respectful.
Yao Pingzhong naturally also knows Liu Zhengyan's details, speaking of which, Liu Zhengyan's father Liu Fa is also a general of the Western Army, and Yao Pingzhong is a colleague and has a good relationship.
It's just that he was not satisfied with Liu Zhengyan because of Wang Yuan's killing. Although Wang Yuan lost the support of the soldiers, after all, he treated Liu Zhengyan well, because of his low position and the pro-army was cut, he took the initiative to kill the old boss and En, and even waved the knife with his own hands to cut off Wang Yuan's head.
He would rather see Miao Fu than meet Liu Zhengyan, precisely for this reason.
Liu Zhengyan didn't know what he thought, as soon as he heard Miao Fu's title, he had also seen Yao Pingzhong a few times when he was a teenager, and as soon as he was reminded, he naturally remembered it immediately.
At the moment, he bowed deeply, and said to Yao Pingzhong: "It turned out that Uncle Yao Shishu was here, no wonder General Miao was wise and full of fighting spirit, which made the army's morale stable, if it weren't for this, we would have fled the ditch a long time ago, and maybe we would have died in the middle of the road." β
Yao Pingzhong snorted coldly and sneered, "Don't dare." Yao has become a Taoist priest, so he doesn't want a secular title, and General Liu called a real person, which is full of hospitality. β
His tone was indifferent, and Liu Zhengyan was very embarrassed, so he had to come straight and stop talking.
Miao Fu smiled secretly in his heart, this Yao Pingzhong's prestige in the army is much stronger than the two of them, and he is more favorable than the other, which greatly contributes to the invisible consolidation of his position, but teaches him how not to like it.
stepped forward and interjected: "The real person said last night that the night attack of the entanglement, the strategy of retreating when disrupted, really has a miraculous effect. The enemy has been making trouble all night, and today he can no longer attack the city, and his morale has plummeted. β
Although he is now a temperance envoy and the commander of the imperial camp, he is still extremely respectful to this old boss, and he not only praises him in his words, but also is extremely humble.
Yao Pingzhong turned his face back and smiled at him: "Actually, Yao is good at sudden riding, not good at resourcefulness, judging the time and seizing the situation, persuading the general with the argument of stubborn defense, and destroying the enemy with the strategy of night attack, but it is my little friend." β
When Yao Pingzhong said this, not only did Miao Fu's face change color, but Liu Zhengyan was also surprised even though he touched his nose.
You must know that the white-clothed young man sitting next to Yao Pingzhong is less than twenty years old, although he has a calm bearing, and when he saw these two powerful generals entering the room, he only bowed first, and did not have any uneasy expression, but after all, because he was too young, he was not taken seriously by the two. Unexpectedly, when Yao Pingzhong said this, all kinds of measures were actually promoted by this young man, but why didn't he teach the two of them to be shocked.
Miao Fu was even more suspicious in his heart and couldn't believe it. He and Liu Zhengyan were originally cowardly and impulsive talents, and they did not have quick wisdom and long-term vision. Because he was not angry for a while, and thought that he might not be attacked after the mutiny, he didn't even think too much about the consequences, so he brazenly coup d'Γ©tat. After knowing that Liu Guangshi's whole army was coming, Han Shizhong and others did not move, and the Chang'an edict was bound to arrive for a long time, the two suddenly felt that the general situation was unnecessary. They were afraid of Liu Guangshi's prestige, and they felt that they were outnumbered, so after discussing it, they had no other way.
The two of them are really ridiculous, after thinking about it, they decided to take people to Xianzhong Temple, and Er Zhao gave an iron coupon edict to pardon the two of them for capital crimes, and then led the troops to open the city and escape, and then see what happened.
If this is the case, Liu Guangshi will enter the city and support Zhao Gou to restore the throne, and he will definitely go out to chase and kill the two. After Zhao Gou was reinstated, he regained the name of righteousness, and these two people must have nowhere to escape and will definitely die in the ditch.
was about to split up, but it was Yao Pingzhong who came to Miao Fu's mansion and talked to him face to face. Persuade each other with interests and disadvantages, let him stick to the city, as long as he waits for the edict of Jingkang Tianzi to arrive, then the big thing will be certain.
Because of Yao Pingzhong's qualifications and prestige, Miao Fu seems to have a backbone, and he must be in his heart that he is not completely incompetent, arranging city defense, encouraging the army's heart, and mobilizing hundreds of officials in the city to urge the people to go to the city to assist in defense, all kinds of measures are in place, Liu Guangshi can not break the city in a hurry, but also because the city defense is still stable.
If there is another night attack, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to break the city in the short term.
He thought that Yao Pingzhong was a general of the Western Army, and his qualifications and experience were far superior to him, and as long as he obeyed his orders, he would be fine. Who would have thought that at this moment, the other party said these opinions and strategies, but they were not from the hands of a young man in white, but he taught Miao Fu how not to be surprised.
He was expecting Ai Ai, and after half a ring, he bowed to the young man and said, "Miao Fu thanked him for his guidance, I don't know the honorable name?" β
The boy was still smiling, not changing by the change in the other man's expression. Still holding the book in his hand, he replied with a smile to Miao Fu: "How dare you, in Xia Yu Yunwen, he is just a white body, how dare he be a general's Xie." β
Miao Fu was expressionless, and only said: "The master is the teacher, Miao's net worth and life depend on the gift of his feet, and a mere thank you is not enough to repay the great favor." β
Liu Zhengyan also stepped forward to thank him, but he was suspicious in his heart, thinking that Yao Pingzhong didn't want to show his reputation, so he put the credit on this young man, and when he thanked him, his attitude was just perfunctory.
Yu Yunwen didn't care, he traveled to Sichuan with Yao Pingzhong this time, first to Shaanxi, and then sneaked into the Central Plains in disguise, but from Henan to Shandong, and then crossed the Yangtze River to the south.
Miao Fu's knowledge is better than Liu Zhengyan's, and when he saw this young man's appearance, he knew that what Yao Pingzhong said was true.
The generals of the Song Dynasty had their own literati staff. That Liu Guangshi was handsome early in the establishment of the festival, and there were hundreds of staff officials around him, copywriting, ordering, planning and helping, all of which needed the help of down-and-out literati.
He saw that this Yu Yunwen was very young and dressed in white, and he didn't expect to be lifted, he should be the son of Yao Pingzhong's relatives and friends, and he traveled with him to increase his knowledge. Since he is handsome at this time, if he recruits this person by his side, he will naturally have a lot of help.
With a plan in his heart, he sat down next to Yu Yunwen and praised him, and his words were quite solicitative.
Yu Yunwen pretended to be ignorant, only with him, and only did not understand his meaning.
After half a ring, several people exchanged pleasantries for a long time, but Miao Fu just couldn't speak, knowing that the other party was unwilling, so he had to stop. He suddenly remembered what was going on, because he asked Yao Pingzhong and Yu Yunwen: "Two, the enemy army has gone today, and it will be a siege in the future, I don't know what other strategies to break the enemy?" β
Yao Pingzhong and Yu Yunwen looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer.
Miao and Liu were in a hurry, but they just arched again and again, and kept asking.
After half a ring, Yao Ping Zhongfang waved his hand and said: "I have a plan to break the enemy, I have a plan in my heart, you two only need to go to the city to defend it first, and when the time comes, you will naturally tell each other." It's useless to talk about it now, so it's better not to say it. β
Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan looked at each other, but they didn't dare to ask again.
After all, Yao Pingzhong's qualifications and military merits are far above the two of them, and this time he helps and does not want to protect his reputation, it is obviously to help each other wholeheartedly, and not to make the lives in the city miserable, since this person is confident, he naturally does not need to ask again.
The two of them gave salutes again and again, and exchanged pleasantries for a long time before they withdrew together and went to arrange the defense of the city.
When the two of them came out in a row, Yao Pingzhong smiled and said hatefully to Yu Yunwen: "I thought these two people were still characters, but after looking at them these days, they are really muddy and can't be painted on the wall!" β
Yu Yunwen also had a worried face, and replied: "I didn't worry about the future and forced King Kang to abdicate first, I heard that the soldiers were about to flee, and now the strong enemy is surrounded and has no firm heart to resist, how can such a general win the war." β
"Yes, if we hadn't happened to arrive, Lin'an City would have fallen into the hands of Liu Guangshi long ago, and these two people would have been like lost dogs, being chased around."
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly and shook their heads again and again.
After half a ring, Yu Yunwen asked Yao Pingzhong with a smile: "You said that there is a way to break the enemy, I want to think about it, there is only one word." β
Yao Pingzhong was very interested, leaned over and asked, "But you talk about it?" β
"Without him, it's just a procrastination."
Yu Yunwen stood up, strolled under the lamp, and said eloquently: "The momentum of the strong enemy besieging the city has been achieved, and the night attack can no longer be done. There is no other way. β
He looked at Yao Pingzhong and said with a smile: "What plan do you have, just coax this Miao and Liu!" β
Yao Pingzhong first glared at him, and after half a sound, Fang sighed and said, "I really can't deceive you with this little thought." β
Seeing that Yu Yunwen was silent with a smile, he said again: "If you can't go, you will naturally stick to it." Lin'an City is also strong, there are still more than 10,000 elite soldiers, as long as the lord is determined to defend it, it will definitely be able to drag on for a long time. These two people were not determined enough, so Lao Yao and I had to add firewood under the stove and add fire to them. As for what will happen next, in my opinion, it will depend on Jingkang's actions after all. β
"Not bad. What we can do is only like this, and what happens in the future naturally depends on the means of the Son of Heaven. β
Yu Yunwen lowered his head and pondered for a moment, finally raised his head and smiled, and said to Yao Pingzhong: "In my opinion, the Son of Heaven is very human, although the situation is ever-changing and confusing, but after all, there is a way, after you and I are fate, just watch a big drama, and it is really a happy thing in life." β
The life and death of tens of millions of people is the overall situation in the world, but this young man said it casually, as if it were commonplace. Yao Pingzhong didn't think it was strange, he just looked at him and laughed.
He was originally a military general, and this laughter was full of anger, and everyone in the Miao Mansion heard it, and the laughter was everywhere, but it made people change color in shock, and they didn't know what to do.
