Volume 3 Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 013 The Strategy of the Tiger and Wolf
Zheng Miao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What is there to praise for a person like me who is only a shallow learner?" ”
But I heard Qiu Yizhi say: "Third brother, don't be humble anymore." If nothing else, let's just say that we are now not only going deep into the tiger's den, but also brushing the tiger's whiskers, and now sleeping next to the tiger, such a bold and courageous ...... The emperor always said that I was bold, and I think I was cautious compared to the third brother. ”
Zheng Miao was also quite proud when she heard this compliment, and said with a smile: "We will go deep into the hinterland of Lingnan Dao and make a fuss in other people's stomachs, and the horizontal and vertical are also in the hands of the opponent." Rather than looking ahead and being controlled by the opponent, it is better to simply pestle him in front of him and make him uncomfortable. If the other side makes a move, we will no longer have the power to fight back, and we will spit into his eyes. ”
"Well said!" Lin Shuhan couldn't help but admire, "Regardless of whether the Third Highness intentionally or not, we have taken the lead!" ”
Zheng Miao was a little puzzled when she heard this, and asked, "What does Mr. Lin mean by this?" ”
Lin Shuhan knew that Zheng Miao was not a stupid person, so he said with a straight face: "Student, may I ask Your Royal Highness, why did you come here from this trip thousands of miles away?" ”
"In order to pass on the order, by the way, investigate the military situation in Lingnan."
"What is the matter of investigating the military situation in the name of the decree?"
Being in the midst of the enemy army, Zheng Miao subconsciously looked up and looked around, and said, "In order to withdraw the domain." ”
"That's right. It's just for the sake of withdrawing the feudal domain! Lin Shuhan said, "Right now, there is a clever plan to make the emperor's haunting event succeed in one fell swoop, I wonder if His Royal Highness is willing to give it a try?" ”
Zheng Miao was suddenly shocked, and just wanted to ask Lin Shuhan if he was joking with himself, but he could see the serious expression on Lin Shuhan's face, which was undoubtedly reflected by the firelight, so he changed his words: "I know that Mr. has the talent to endure the heavens and the earth. But we now have more than 200 men under our command, and there are twenty-seven of them who do not serve the honor guards. Lingnan Wang Ming has 300,000 soldiers on his face, and we people seem to have sprinkled a handful of soil in the sea, what use can it be? ”
"Then it depends on where the handful of dirt is scattered. If it is sprinkled in the eyes of the sea, it may really block the circulation of rivers, lakes and seas! Lin Shuhan said.
Zheng Miao flipped over and looked at the cooked meat in his hand over and over again, and couldn't guess the deep meaning of the words of this resourceful and world-famous "Mr. Bansong", so he said: "Mr. doesn't have to sell Guanzi, just say what you have to say." ”
When Uncle Lin heard this, he got up from the mat spread on the ground, paced around the tent, took his folding fan, and drove away a few mosquitoes around his ears a few times, and then said: "The student is not talented, there is a plan dedicated to the three highnesses, if it is implemented properly, then the Lingnan palace can be withdrawn overnight, and the emperor's heart This important matter is also solved." ”
If ordinary people said this, Zheng Miao would undoubtedly think that he was blowing a conch, but Lin Shuhan was a talented person, since he said such a big thing, he naturally had his reasons. So Zheng Miao arched his hand to Uncle Lin: "What is the clever plan of Mr., I hope to give you advice." ”
"It's not a clever plan, but I just want to make some articles from the Lingnan prince." Uncle Lin said lightly.
Although Lin Shuhan's words were plain, Zheng Miao's ears sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he hurriedly lowered his voice: "What does Mr. Lin mean, but you want to send someone to kidnap or assassinate the prince of Lingnan?" ”
Lin Shuhan smiled and said, "The Third Highness is really smart, and that's what the student means." But he did not speak again.
Zheng Miao took a deep breath and said, "Sir's plan is too dangerous, we are doing a dojo in a snail shell, and if we accidentally miss a move, there will be no room for return." I'm afraid that even my father and the imperial court will have to immediately raise troops to fight a decisive battle with the Lingnan Palace, which will disrupt the deployment of the withdrawal of the feudal domain, but the gains will outweigh the losses. ”
Zheng Miao saw that his words were very serious, but Lin Shuhan still looked confident, looked at himself with a smile, and had to turn to ask Qiu Yidao: "I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks?" ”
Qiu Yizhi smiled: "What insight can I have? However, if the third brother adopts Mr. Lin's idea, the younger brother will definitely help. ”
Although this is not explicitly stated, the meaning of the words could not be clearer.
I heard Lin Shuhan say again: "Although the student's plan sounds extremely thrilling, as long as it is handled carefully, it is actually as stable as Mount Tai......"
The more Zheng Miao listened, the more puzzled she became, and interrupted Lin Shuhan's words: "Now that we are under the nose of the King of Lingnan, there are more than ten times more Lingnan troops in this stone city than us, and I don't know how many men and horses have been deployed outside the city. Mr. Lin, I don't know where to start with the words 'steady as Mount Tai'? ”
Lin Shuhan shook the folding fan and said, "Lingnan Wang, this student has heard of it. Although he is a famous general in military combat, he also has quite a lot of political achievements in running Lingnan University. However, this person is fierce and inward, strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and although there are many plans in his chest, he lacks decisiveness. Your Royal Highness might as well think about it, the King of Lingnan has the courage and knowledge to let our two hundred elite soldiers set up camp under his nose, right? But if he really wants to get rid of us now, I'm afraid he may not be able to make up his mind. ”
Uncle Lin paused and said, "Please forgive the students for being arrogant. When Emperor Shenzong was there, King Lingnan also had the heart to seize the heir, and Shenzong seemed to favor him. However, even if he had a heavy army, he always looked forward and backward, neither daring to raise troops to accumulate popularity like the current saints, nor daring to take advantage of the emptiness of the court to raise troops to make trouble. In the end, the emperor ordered him to come to this wild place in Lingnan, so he could only pack his bags and come here to watch the door. Even when the rebellion was in full swing last year, if he was desperate to raise troops on his back, although he might not be able to achieve great things, at least he could fight for a situation of dividing the river and ruling the north and the south, but he was like a turtle with a shrunken head and could not come out of Lingnan Road, so today he had to wait for the emperor to start withdrawing the domain. ”
Lin Shuhan's slow but rigorous reasoning made Zheng Miao nod his head when he heard it, and said: "Even if the King of Lingnan hesitates a little, it is just to ensure that we can retreat from Lingnan Dao, and it is still far from withdrawing the feudal domain in one fell swoop!" ”
"Since there are masters who suffer from gains and losses, there are no wise and decisive subordinates." Lin Shuhan said, "People like His Royal Highness Xiang San and Lord Qiu who are both wise and brave can only be cultivated by a wise and wise person like the emperor. The students expected that once something happened to the king of Lingnan, Lingnan Dao would inevitably have no master, and it would not be far from the success of the imperial court's withdrawal of the feudal domain. ”
Zheng Miao said: "What does Mr. Yi mean, do you want us to kill the King of Lingnan here?" Even he laughed at himself.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuhan had a serious face and replied: "The current situation, this will kill the king of Lingnan, leaving a chaotic Lingnan Dao, and leaving it to the imperial court to deal with it slowly is not out of control." It's just that now that the world has been decided, people's minds are calm, and it may be against the principles of heaven to use troops on a large scale. Therefore, killing the king of Lingnan is not a bad idea, nor is it a foolproof strategy. ”
Zheng Miao was taken aback when she heard this, she really didn't expect that this weak scholar in front of her was actually a little scared when he had swords in his heart. But when he saw that Uncle Lin was halfway through his words, he stopped, knowing that he was selling Guanzi, so he looked at him with a smile: "Presumably, Mr. Lin must have a perfect plan in his chest?" ”
Lin Shuhan smiled: "That's nature. If you want to come up with an idea, it is a foolproof strategy, otherwise if you say that kind of half-baked idea, wouldn't it hurt your own people? ”
Lin Shuhan walked around the tent for half a circle and said, "In the humble opinion of the students, instead of killing the Lingnan prince, it is better to kidnap him and escort him to the capital." When the time comes, let the king of Lingnan sign and take the initiative to request the withdrawal of the domain, isn't that a gesture? ”
Zheng Miao heard that Lin Shuhan's "perfect strategy" was not to kill Zheng Gui immediately, and she was a little relieved, but she frowned and said: "Although Mr. Lin's idea is good, it is a pity that it is too difficult to implement. Mr. Lin might as well go out and take a look, more than 200 of us are under the siege of our opponents, and we can't protect ourselves, so how can we have the strength to deal with others? What's more, Mr. Lin also said just now that the prince of Lingnan is extremely cautious and cautious, since he dares to leave us in the city for the night, he must be very prepared, even if we start, how can we succeed easily? ”
Lin Shuhan smiled: "The King of Lingnan has calculated thousands of calculations, but he has missed one person. ”
"Who is it?" Zheng Miao asked.
"It's Wei Chi Jiming." The answer was Qiu Yizhi on the side.
Lin Shuhan also said: "That's right. It's Yu Chi Jiming. Although this little girl is inconspicuous, she is strong in martial arts, especially in the world, and even more so than her father. If he sneaks into the Lingnan Royal House at night and takes it down in one fell swoop, it won't be a difficult task, right? ”
Zheng Miao thought for a moment and said, "Even if the King of Lingnan is easily subdued by Yu Chi Jiming, even if the people here throw a mouse, let me wait to get out of the city." However, this place is far away from the capital Luoyang, and the path between the mountains and mountains of Lingnan Road alone is extremely difficult to walk, in case something goes wrong, it will be troublesome. ”
Lin Shuhan said with a smile: "Then please rest assured that Your Royal Highness is the third highness." There is our inner line in this Lingnan Road, as long as we can successfully hold the Lingnan Prince, this person will stabilize the Lingnan Road for us, and maybe he will send troops to send us out! ”
"What!" Zheng Miao was shocked when she heard this, "Brother Xian is so powerful, and he has already laid out his ears and eyes in Lingnan Dao for only a few days?" It seems that this person is not small, and he can actually have the ability to lead the whole road of Lingnan. ”
"This person's third brother also knows. It's none other than the second prince Zheng Yu. Qiu Yi said as she couldn't help but smile.
Zheng Miao was even more surprised: "Zheng Yu is the second prince of the dignified Lingnan King, and the virtuous brother wants to join him to deal with the Lingnan King, isn't this seeking skin with the tiger?" ”
"Hahaha." Lin Shuhan suddenly laughed, "The thoughts of this second prince, I'm afraid that the Third Highness may not be able to guess it." Let's listen to the students speak slowly for the Third Highness. ”
Lin Shuhan stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his somewhat dry tongue: "Please think about it, Your Royal Highness, if the Lingnan Royal Mansion is not removed, it will be passed on to the second generation, I don't know which prince under his knee will succeed to the throne now?" ”
Zheng Miao pondered for a moment: "I remember that the heirs under the knees of the Lingnan prince are very thin, except for the second prince Zheng Yu at the moment, there is only the eldest son Zheng Nuo." Between these two people, if you want to say who can inherit the throne of King Lingnan, in fact, there is no suspense, isn't it the eldest son Zheng Nuo? ”
"Why is there no suspense? Please also ask Your Highness for advice. Lin Shuhan said with a smile.
Of course, Zheng Miao knew that with Lin Shuhan's knowledge, how could he not know this little reason?
However, Zheng Miao also knew that this "Mr. Bansong" had the old problem of selling Guanzi, so he "explained" according to his meaning: "First, Zheng Nuo is the eldest son is the eldest son, and Zheng Yu is the second son is the concubine, the eldest and the young are orderly, and the concubines are different, so it should be Zheng Nuo who succeeds to the throne." ”
