Chapter 33: Seriously
Wu Yingying clenched his fists and said, "I have no grudge against Huangfu and Zhang Xun, how can they have to keep getting along with me again and again?"
Liu Yi shook his head and didn't answer, Lu Ying put down the teacup and said: "Huangfu Jixun is afraid that you can train a strong army in a few months, although the number of people is small at the moment, but if you take time and fight a few more victories, it may not be impossible to develop and grow, and you will be on a par with the Divine Guard Army and the Black Cloud." When the time comes, you will be in military power, and you will be deeply favored by Your Majesty, and you may be able to replace you at any time. ”
Liu Yi continued: "Zhang Xunjin slandered because you shared His Majesty's favor for him. ”
Wu Yingying smiled bitterly: "I see, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, what can I do?"
Lu Ying said: "People do not hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts." In the past, General Lin Renzhao was framed by Huangfu Jixun and died with hatred, if Pan You hadn't been slandered by villains, His Majesty would never have put him in prison. ”
Seeing that Wu Yingying was listening carefully, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Although the Jinling Beacon Fire Envoy is a good and fat shortage, it is also a place of right and wrong, but if something big happens to Jinling City, you can't get out of it, with the strength of Huangfu Jixun, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit down in this seat safely." ”
Wu Yingying slapped the table and shouted: "It's tolerable, it's unbearable." Although I want to calm things down, if the people of the Divine Guard dare to make trouble in Jinling, I will give him a good look. ”
Seeing this, Liu Yi hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Wu, strength is the foundation of life, but you can't get too stiff with the emperor, approaching him has 100,000 divine guards in hand, and even Your Majesty wants to give him three points." ”
When Wu Yingying heard this, he was attentive and asked, "What do you say about Brother Liu? Is Your Majesty also dissatisfied with Huangfu Jixun?"
Before Liu Yi could explain, Lu Ying smiled and said, "Sure enough, the children can be taught." This emperor Jixun is afraid of the strong soldiers of the Northern Dynasty, as the commander of the army but afraid of the enemy like a tiger, he has repeatedly proposed to return to the Northern Dynasty at the court meeting, but this person was born in the general, and he is also quite knowledgeable about the soldiers, and there are many cronies in the army, His Majesty is three points dissatisfied with him, and seven points of dependence. ”
Wu Yingying suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. He took a sip of the teacup and took a sip of the cow, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he threw a few peas into his mouth and bit them with a loud noise.
Liu Yi asked, "Brother Wu, you just fought a battle with the Song army, what do you think of the current war?"
Wu Yingying saw that his question was very sincere, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "If you talk about the strength of the armor and the strength of the soldiers, and the courage of the soldiers, our side is indeed inferior to the Northern Dynasty." ”
Seeing that Liu Yi nodded a little frustratedly, Wu Yingying said again: "But the Northern Dynasty has been in war for a long time, the treasury is empty, and the military discipline is not good, so it is rare to find the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, so the opportunity to win is not impossible." ”
Lu Ying immediately continued: "How to win?"
Wu Yingying said in a deep voice: "Sun Tzu said, the way of using soldiers, with the right fit, with the odd victory." Wu Ge Lao's policy of 'strengthening the wall with the old Song teacher' is positive. As long as the Song army could not attack for a long time, the imperial court was urging, and when the upper and lower were anxious, our army lured it to its advantage, and when its light troops ventured forward, our side did not think of the gains and losses of one city and one place, and gathered a large army in the hinterland to annihilate its elite. If this is the case, the enemy army will be short of food, and if you advance, you will have no courage, and it will be a matter of time before you retreat. ”
Liu Yi stroked his palms and smiled: "As Brother Wu said, half of the south of the Yangtze River can be protected. Lu Ying also showed a look of relief.
Wu Yingying said: "In the past, Sun Quan asked Wenchen all over the country, and all the lords surrendered to Cao, and Lu Su Xie said, 'Everyone can surrender, but the general cannot surrender.'" If we wait for Cao to surrender, the tired officials will not lose their state and county; if the general descends to Cao, they want to return to peace? "I'm strange, even if you descend to the Song Kingdom, with your two talents and reputation, the official title can be guaranteed." Moreover, Jiangnan is the land of the two mulberries, once the soldiers are over, they must be devastated, why are the two still willing to fight and unwilling to surrender?"
Liu Yi and Lu Ying glanced at each other, and Liu Yi said first: "The Central Plains is where Zhengshuo is located, and my generation of scholars should have looked at Wang Shi and followed it." It's just that in the past hundred years, there have been many traitors in the Northern Dynasties, and there are those who are reckless in the army, but there are no people who rest with the people. On the other hand, the princes of the Quartet, Hou Shu and our country rested their troops to support the people, and all industries were revitalized. If we only talk about the fullness of the government treasury, it has long exceeded the Central Plains, and it is said that the people have the land to move south. ”
Wu Yingying smiled and said, "Do you believe such words from Fang Shitu, Brother Liu?"
Liu Yi Zhengse said: "Although the theory of land luck is ethereal and unpredictable, it is widely spread among the people and has its own merits. ”
Lu Ying said impatiently on the side: "Brother Wu, you don't have to test the two of us, just talk straight." This dynasty takes resting with the people as the national policy, protecting the territory and the people, and the people enter for a year, in addition to supporting the officials and soldiers, they are more than self-sufficient, and they also open the sea market, so that the people are rich. If the Northern Dynasty is lowered, in addition to supporting the local officials, the people will have to pay an extra tax to the Central Plains court. What's more, the Central Plains has long regarded us as an enemy country, and it is especially insufficient to scrape three feet of the ground. As a child of Jiangdong, how can I bear to see my hometown suffer such a catastrophe?"
Wu Yingying said again: "Zi said, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." Even if there are many more burdens in the place, the world is mixed and there are many fewer wars, which is beneficial to the people. ”
Lu Ying slapped the case and said in a loud voice: "Joke, there are many wars in the world, who provoked it? If it weren't for the repeated attacks of the Northern Dynasties in the south, how could Jiangdong have added many orphans and widows." ”
Liu Yi said: "Shiyi time shifts, there are Daliao in the north, Dali in the south, Dashi, Daqin, and Shenzhi in the west, and Goryeo, Fusang and other countries in the east, all of which are not royal lands. Jiangdong has been self-reliant for nearly a hundred years, and has its own Taoist system, if the paper is abundant, and now it is far above the Central Plains, why should it depreciate its own family. ”
Lu Ying sneered: "The people of the Central Plains are just bullying us and other weaknesses, just looking for a reason to come and loot, otherwise why don't they go to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"
Wu Yingying said with a smile: "That's right, talking to the two of you made me suddenly. ”
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Scholars are just talking, but the world's major events have to rely on people like Brother Wu who have armor in their hearts." ”
Wu Yingying hurriedly and modestly, the three of them chatted for a while, and Lu Ying and Liu Yifang said goodbye and left.
After taking them away, Wu Yingying was serving tea and pondering, and Chase who was on the side of the guard suddenly said: "Commander, the brothers below asked me to ask you, the more than 1,000 brothers who stayed in Chizhou, don't you care about them?"
Wu Yingying looked at him steadily, until Chase couldn't stand his forced gaze and lowered his head, Fang said: "Why do you ask this? Now that I am dismissed from the military power by the suspicion of the lord of the country, can I still control the old department? If I am at ease as the official of this beacon envoy and no longer control the military power, do you want to leave me?"
Chase raised his head, stared at Wu Yingying boldly, and said: "My lord once inspired me to wait for the ten brothers of the righteous society, and the brothers risked their lives to fight with you on the battlefield, not to be a small official of the yamen, if it was because of the suspicion of the lord of the country, the lord would be disheartened, and he would be an idle court official with peace of mind, and the brothers would have to find another way." ”
Wu Yingying sneered: "It's so assertive, but I think most people are probably not so assertive, Chase, it's your own idea, right?"
Chase was noncommittal, just looked at Wu Yingying silently, Wu Yingying scolded his mother in his heart, but said lightly: "I also said that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?
Chase turned calm when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Of course, keep it in mind, please command the Lord to forgive me for the crime of disrespect." Reaching out and taking out a letter from his arms, he handed it to Wu Yingying and said, "This is a military report sent by Captain Xin from Chizhou. ”
Wu Yingying took the letter and opened it, and Xin Gu said in the letter that Heiyundu asked the Jinfan Army to change the defense of Chizhou on the second day of his departure. After arriving in Chizhou, Yu Yan actually appointed many military academies from Heiyundu to enter the Jinfan Army, but the military academies that were originally born in Jinfan were also promoted or retained their original positions. Since Yu Yan had been appointed by Cai Yu to deploy the Mabu Army of the Chizhou Xingying, he had full authority to command the army of about 50,000 people gathered in Chizhou, and now the food and salary of the Jinfan Army depended on the Chizhou Xingying to supply, Xin Gu and Xiao Jiu reluctantly accepted Heiyundu's arrangement.
