Chapter 103: Merit
"Is there such a thing?" Wu Yingying was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he and Cao Bin had inadvertently formed such a deep hatred, and then said disapprerovingly: "The people of Jiangnan are not interested in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not easy for Cao Bin to eat my god guards." ”
Wang Yu shook his head and said: "Brother Wu, you are a general, but you are very wrong about this people's opinion. Seeing that Wu Yingying did not speak, he continued: "The general trend of the world, if there is chaos for a long time, Si'an, although the people in Jiangnan now resent Wang Shi, but as long as there are a few notices to the people, the world will be peaceful from now on, does Brother Wu really think that the people of Shengdou Xiaomin are sacrificing their lives for the previous dynasty and forgetting to die? Even if the people whose money has been plundered and their relatives have been slaughtered, they will only complain about the heavens and the people, and will never follow Brother Wu and you against Wang Shi. Moreover, the southern soldiers are weak, how can they be the enemy of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Brother Wu has trained a strong team, in my opinion, at most 10,000 people will travel, and more than 200,000 kings will go south, and after other places are pacified, they will attack it with all their might, what is Brother Wu's chance of winning?"
Seeing the hesitation on Wu Yingying's face, Wang Yu said again: "I know that Brother Wu is good at using strange soldiers to win, but the military has always been in harmony with the odd victory, as long as the southern expedition camp is full of regular soldiers, step by step suppression, no matter how much Brother Wu has is useless, even if you flee to the dangerous place where the expedition is not easy, and defend yourself with male soldiers, as long as I appoint officials in Jiangnan, after it is deeply rooted, the inexhaustible people's power and wealth in Jiangnan can be used by me, and then Brother Wu can resist the world with a corner?"
His words are reasonable, especially the inferences that follow, as if Wang Yu saw that the Zheng family surrendered to Taiwan in later generations, and finally ended up being destroyed. Wu Yingying broke out in a cold sweat, but his face was silent, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Wang, you have worked hard to come here, not just to argue with me!"
Wang Yu saw that he was speechless, but he still had a hard mouth, and he couldn't help but say, "I was taken care of in Brother Wu's mansion a few days ago, and I came here to come up with a few strategies to save Brother Wu." ”
"What's the way out?"
"I have three strategies: upper, middle and lower. ”
Seeing that Wang Yupi was smiling and not smiling, and he could pretend to be an immortal when he put on a Taoist robe, Wu Yingying couldn't hold back his anger, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "De Xi's ears are listening." ”
"The best policy is that Brother Wu should lead his elite to Changzhou, go down to Jiangyin, board a ship and go to sea, sail north along the coastline, and land in Liao, I have some friendship with the Han people of Liao, and the Han family, which is deeply trusted by the Liao monarch, with their protection, what can the Great Song official family do?"
Wu Yingying listened to his words, his face was expressionless, but he scolded secretly in his heart, isn't this letting Lao Tzu be a traitor, something that has been stinking for thousands of years, and it is still a good policy, this is called digging a pit and burying you without discussion.
"The middle strategy is, Brother Wu is from the Tuhun army of the Northern Han Dynasty, I heard that the commander of the Tuhun army makes General Wei quite appreciative of you, if you can lead your subordinates to return to Taiyuan, with your current reputation and Wei's strong recommendation, the monarch of the Northern Han Dynasty will have to accommodate you in order to collect the army's morale, and in the future, I will definitely conquer Taiyuan in person to Your Majesty, and then you will return to Your Majesty, so that you can avoid Cao Bin's calculation of you at the moment. However, if you can avoid it for a while, you can't avoid it for a lifetime, and the road to this strategy is difficult and dangerous, and the variables are quite large, so it can only be regarded as a medium strategy. ”
"Well, that sounds good, but what's next?"
"The next strategy is that at present, all the southern states are weak in military strength, and there are few people who can be generals and soldiers, and the general can lead his athletes to Annan in the south. It's just that Annan is a narrow place, and once the general goes, I am afraid that there will be no chance to return to the Central Plains, so it can only be regarded as a lower policy. ”
Wang Yu said with a calm face that the three strategies made Wu Yingying's impression of him completely changed, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he kept staring at Wang Yu's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't believe the reason you just said, ask again, why do you want to help me?" If your answer does not satisfy me, in order to prevent leakage of news, I will immediately kill you, and then choose a strategy to act." ”
Seeing that he was arrogant, Wang Yu couldn't help but stroke his palms and laugh, stretched out his hand and made a gesture, then looked at Wu Yingying and said with a smile: "You also have a lot of disciples in my sect, you should have seen this mark." ”
This gesture is like a flame, it is used by Zoroastrian people to pray to the god of fire, Wu Yingying saw that Shi Yuanguang had done it, and couldn't help but wonder: "You are actually a member of the Zoroastrian religion?"
Wang Yu slowly withdrew his hand into his sleeve and replied quietly, "Why can't I be a member of the Holy Sect?" Without waiting for Wu Yingying to ask, he simply explained to Wu Yingying.
Originally, Zoroastrianism was originally a religion originating from Central Asia, and since it was introduced to Middle-earth, there have been more and more believers, but it has conflicts with Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The most fierce one was the An Lushan Rebellion in the previous dynasty, in fact, many Hu Han Zoroasmen joined the An Lushan army, although An Lushan had a very bad reputation in the Central Plains, and was defeated and died, but so far the Hu and Han people in Youyan and other places still regard An Lushan Shi Siming as a saint in the religion.
The Wang family has believed in Zoroastrianism for a long time, and Wang Pu assisted Zhou Shizong to make meritorious contributions, and he had borrowed a lot of power from Zoroastrian followers in various places, otherwise when Sejong went on the Northern Expedition, there would not be so many cities and towns to look down on the wind, and there are actually many credits of Zoroastrian believers. Of course, Sejong also fulfilled some of the Zoroastrian requirements, he did not particularly promote Confucianism and Taoism, and even presided over the extermination of Buddha once.
Zoroastrianism has been severely suppressed since the Anshi Rebellion, and originally hoped that after Sejong could unify the world, he would be able to believe in it openly, and even make Zoroastrianism and Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism stand alongside or even surpass, but unfortunately Sejong died violently when he conquered Liao in the north. In this world, it actually fell into the hands of the Zhao family, which had nothing to do with Zoroastrianism.
After listening to Wang Yu's explanation, Wu Yingying had already believed seven points in his heart, although the Confucian scholars and doctors at the end of the fifth dynasty had been destroyed to the point of almost no integrity, but they would not pretend to be Zoroastrian disciples who violated the teachings of the saints to worship ghosts and gods to deceive him. If Wang Yu really wants to harbor evil intentions, the best way to persuade him to surrender is to raise the gold-lettered signboard of King Jin's recruitment, Zhao Guangyi is now the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and there are many people who have seen the trend of brother and brother from the dragon and gathered around him.
But looking at Wang Yu's expectant expression, Wu Yingying said: "Although I have taken in some Zoroastrian disciples, I don't believe in Zoroastrianism, if you help me, I may not get anything in the end." ”
Wang Yu smiled and said, "If you see a Buddha and worship someone, I won't look down on you." The revival of the Holy Religion is half determined by manpower and half by heaven. At least, with your temperament, you won't kill the disciples in my sect. ”
Wu Yingying nodded and said, "I always believe that force cannot deprive others of their beliefs, but will only provoke greater resistance. He looked at Wang Yu, who had a good face, and said, "I will not accept the favor of others in vain, so make your conditions." ”
Wang Yu grinned, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and said leisurely: "It's what you just said, if one day you can dominate the overall situation, the disciples of the Holy Sect can walk in the world openly and honestly, and will not be oppressed and killed because of their beliefs." ”
Wu Yingying nodded and said, "This is natural." ”
Seeing that he agreed easily, Wang Yu frowned instead, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wu, do you know that the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism all sneer at the Holy Sect, and the Great Song Dynasty official government also contemptuously calls it the Demon Sect. ”
Wu Yingying couldn't help but say, he came from modern times, the concept of freedom of religious belief has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Zoroastrianism has a long history, unlike other heresies.
So Wu Yingying pretended to be contemplative, took a slow sip of tea, and said: "If in the future and in the future, your sect will vigorously help me to achieve great causes, and weigh the pros and cons, of course I will not be bewitched by that class of rotten Confucians." After speaking, he looked at Wang Yu with burning eyes and listened to his offer.
Wang Yu knew very much about him, and thought in his heart, these words and deeds were the Wu heroes who used fifty warriors of Kangqu Dagan for nothing, and also extorted five thousand catties of iron, he must have said in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "The general will soon switch to the north and south, and the news of military aircraft everywhere must be urgently needed, my Zoroastrian disciples are all over the world, and they can be the eyes and ears of the general. ”
Wu Yingying's heart was cold, he didn't expect that the power of Zoroastrianism in the Central Plains was so big, no wonder at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in the official history, the Ming Sect developed from Zoroastrianism could provoke chaos in the world, and finally overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, but as Wang Yu expected today, most of the heroes from all walks of life just used the Zoroastrian to start trouble, although Zhu Yuanzhang became a Ming country, but Zoroastrianism was declining day by day, thinking that it was more suppressed and hit by the imperial court and Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, Uncle Jin's description in Yitian is not groundless.
