Chapter 87: The Bai family's father and son argue

After pacifying Bai Qiuyu, Yao Ruoyu ordered someone to spread out the map in front of the hall, and said in a deep voice: "According to the Chu family's statement to the outside world, Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan will set off in three days after rectifying the soldiers and horses, that is, in three days, with the distance between Hezhou and Chongqing, plus the characteristics of their infantry, it will take them at least ten days or so to arrive in Hezhou." ”

"In this case, there is no need to worry for the time being, the Thunder God Battalion and the Rock Tiger Battalion will seize the time to continue training, and the efficiency of the Luo Family Battalion is much higher than yours!" first glanced at Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, signaled the two of them not to speak, and then Yao Ruoyu looked at Luo He and said in a deep voice, "Master Luo, after all, your Luo family has a very high reputation in Hezhou City, and in the next few days, it will also trouble Luo Jiaying to guard Diaoyu City and prevent Xiaoxiao from taking the opportunity to make trouble in the city." ”

Luo He's expression was solemn when he heard this, and he hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured that the city lord will definitely swear to guard Diaoyu City to the death, and not let Xiao Xiao make trouble, in addition, since Luo has entered the command of the city lord, the title of the Luo family master can be stopped, and in the future, please call Luo by his name." ”

"The head of the Luo family is a round older than me, how can I call him by his name?" frowning slightly, Yao Ruoyu muttered, "But since the head of the Luo family insists, then Yao will be commensurate with Luo Yingjiang, how about it?"

"Good. When Luo He heard this, he no longer insisted, bowed his head and agreed, and then sat down again.

After Luo He sat down, Yao Ruoyu looked at Yang Renjie and Fu Feng, and said in a deep voice: "You still have seven days, train your troops well, don't seek how to achieve results, at least you won't be defeated during the war." ”

Yang Renjie furrowed his eyebrows with some dissatisfaction: "Old demon, you are so disoptimistic about me and Mad Dog? Don't worry! I trained my troops with the Xiang Jiajun's military training method, but unfortunately we don't have mounts, otherwise I can build a cavalry army for you!"

"If you want to fight off the cavalry, let's wait until you repel this offensive," Wan Er smiled, Yao Ruoyu saw Fu Feng nodding and agreed, then looked at Bai Qiuyu again, and said solemnly, "Luo's camp is responsible for sitting in Diaoyu City, and on the side of Hezhou City, the Bai family needs to make some efforts temporarily, and you don't need to meet the Song army, just sit in Hezhou City, and don't let the wildfire thieves take advantage of the situation to make trouble, okay?"

When Bai Qiuyu heard this, he immediately nodded and replied, "Obey." ”

The only reason why Bai Junru is reluctant to help the literary army is because it is the Song army that is attacking this time, Bai Junru is a great Confucian, and the idea of loyalty to the monarch in his heart is naturally very deep, of course he is unwilling to resist the imperial court, but if he is only responsible for sitting in Hezhou City and not letting the thieves make trouble, presumably this old man will agree in the end, of course, this also needs Bai Qiuyu to request.

Yao Ruoyu finally looked at Xu Xuanrong, and before he could speak, Xu Xuanrong smiled and said, "I have ordered the disciples of the Lily Sect to be distributed around Hezhou City, and once there is a trace of Chu Xuan and the others, they will report it immediately." ”

Seeing that the beauty in her heart had such a tacit understanding, Yao Ruoyu didn't realize that her heart was slightly warm, and she nodded and smiled.

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu handled the matter in an orderly manner and did not mess up at all, Bai Qiuyu's eyes unconsciously crossed a trace of gloom, quietly glanced at Xu Xuanrong, and then said loudly: "City Lord, have you ever thought about what will happen after repelling the second son of the Chu family?"

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, then glanced at Bai Qiuyu and the others present, and immediately understood their thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! I have already discussed this matter with Master Xu, and we have already taken countermeasures, so there is no need to worry." ”

Seeing that Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong looked calm, Bai Qiuyu didn't say anything more, and sat down again after shaking his head.

In the next five days, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng were training in the barracks, although Jiang Siyu, Wu Xue, Li Yilin, Hou Jingru and others had the intention to help, but after all, the four of them were not enough to cultivate, and they didn't know how to train, so they simply didn't care too much, followed the drills during the day, and practiced with the help of pills at night.

The news that the Song Dynasty was about to send troops to attack Hezhou also spread in the city under Yao Ruoyu's deliberate indulgence, but fortunately, Xu Xuanrong's earlier ideological work was relatively in place, except for a few who were dissatisfied, most of them were reprimanding the court for not distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, and condemning the heroes.

In addition, some remnants of wildfire thieves took the opportunity to cause chaos, and as a result, the Bai family and the Luo family were in Hezhou and Diaoyu City respectively, and the unrest was suppressed as soon as it appeared.

Probably afraid of the imminent attack of the Song army, the black wolf rider quickly withdrew from Hezhou City and returned to the lair of the White Wolf Society, while the Taoyuan Gang did not make the slightest movement, but Liu Zhimou still shrank all his manpower into his lair, thinking that he was also worried about the attack of the Song army.

*——*——*——*

"Regardless of loyalty and traitor, what a good means! But after sitting in the city lord's mansion for a few days, he has already mastered the hearts of the people to such a point, and the old man has never seen such a person with such a method in so many years!"

Standing in front of the pond of the White Crane Academy, Bai Junru's white eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at Bai Qiuyu beside him with a smile.

Seeing his father looking at him, Bai Qiuyu suddenly laughed and looked to the side with some embarrassment.

Seeing Bai Qiuyu's embarrassed appearance, Huang Kuankuan, Yuan Ren, Li De, and Zhu Qing, who were standing on the side, all laughed secretly, they were all Bai Junru's disciples, and they were also Bai Qiuyu's senior brother and sister, and they had a very good relationship with this little junior brother.

Shaking his head slightly, Bai Junru sighed: "This is such a means, if it is used in Hezhou, it is okay, but if it is used in the whole country, it is only a small means, and it cannot be used in the hall of elegance...... After you return to Diaoyu City, you need to warn the city lord that you should behave in a dignified manner, and you should not use villain methods. ”

Bai Qiuyu unconsciously restrained his smile when he heard this, and after pondering for a long time, he shook his head and said: "Father's words, Qiuyu dare not agree. ”

"Oh?" Bai Junru raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Let's hear it." ”

"Since ancient times, the reason why my Confucianism has flourished is nothing more than that my Confucianism meets the needs of the monarch, the wisdom of the foolish people, which is conducive to the governance of the monarch, and if the wisdom of the people is not opened, the land will be in chaos," Seeing Bai Junru's expression, Bai Qiuyu was bold and continued, "However, throughout the ages, although the people's wisdom has not been opened, although it is conducive to the monarch's governance, it is also easy for the people to be used by the opposition party, push the boat down the river, and cause chaos in the country." ”

"What the literary and artistic army does, it seems to take advantage of the people's hearts and coerce the people's wishes, its means may not be elegant, but it is also extremely effective, but in a few days, it has been able to unite the hearts of the people of a city for its own use, among which there are of course the previous city lord is too unbearable, but it is not able to erase the city lord, the master of the means is too superb. ”

"Hmph, city lord, lord, you call it naturally. Sneering slightly, Bai Junru said coldly.

Bai Qiuyu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and continued stubbornly: "As the so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, these methods may only be applicable to one city for now, but how can my father know that they have no means to apply to one country?"

With a dazed expression, Bai Qiuyu said in a deep voice: "Over the years, Qin Xiang has maintained the government, rejected rebels, and attacked loyal ministers, if it weren't for the three kings in charge of military power to contain it, I'm afraid that my Great Song Dynasty would have already been surnamed Qin ......."

"Presumptuous!" Bai Junru raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You are so bold?"

Shocked, Bai Qiuyu immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Since I was a child, I followed my father to learn Confucian principles, and Qiu Yu was puzzled, if Confucianism is really correct, why did what my father said was that the government was dark, covering for each other for officials, and promoting the party, so Qiu Yu disobeyed his father's will and traveled unexpectedly, just to see the land of China with his own eyes, what is it?"

"Over the past few years, Qiu Yu has become more and more confused, my Confucianism is really right?" His eyes were slightly gloomy, Bai Qiuyu sighed, "But why has it been difficult for Qing officials to walk this way, corrupt officials have risen step by step, and their eyes are full of scenery, all of them are fish and meat people......"

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Bai Qiuyu said in a deep voice: "The practice of the city lord and the master bookkeeper may be to take advantage of the people's will, or it may be a small means, but as long as it is effective, as long as it can be conducive to governing the country, how can Qiu Yu not follow the left and right?"

"When the lord of the city was there, although there was a bazaar to collect money, the thieves did not dare to enter the city, but the people were not rich, the poor were still poor, the rich were still rich, the gap between the rich and the poor was never closer, and the well-off world as the sage said did not appear......"

Hearing what Bai Qiuyu said, Bai Junru suddenly sneered: "Then these people can create a well-off world?

"That's because the enemy is coming, and I can't govern it for the time being!" Gritting his teeth slightly, Bai Qiuyu said solemnly, "Qiuyu traveled through China and saw countless people, but these people are extremely special.

Seeing that Bai Qiuyu bit to death and identified Yao Ruoyu and the others just because of his feelings, Bai Junru was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he snort: "I'm afraid it's not that they are special, but that Master Xu is more special!"

With a red face, Bai Qiuyu said embarrassedly: "Naturally, there are some factors......

Hearing this, Huang Kuankuan and the others immediately laughed, but after Bai Junru's cold eyes swept over, a group of people hurriedly stood solemnly and did not dare to laugh again.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Junru said lightly: "You don't need to say these words to me, my father has already said that he will not join the literary army and help them fight against the imperial court." ”

When Bai Qiuyu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Qiuyu didn't dare to ask my father to help the literary and artistic army, I only asked my father to sit in Hezhou City for the sake of the innocent people, and not let the thieves and thieves disturb the city." ”

"Don't worry! With an old man in one day, you can't allow a small disaster to mess up Hezhou!" Bai Junru said in a deep voice.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the academy, and there was a sound of neat footsteps, and it seemed that a large number of people were passing by the street outside.

Hearing the movement outside, Bai Junru raised his eyebrows and glanced at Huang Kuankuan, who understood and immediately turned to leave. After a while, I saw him walking back quickly, his expression was a little shocked, and before he got close, he had already said in a loud voice: "Teacher, it is the Thunder God Battalion and the Rock Tiger Battalion, saying that they are on the orders of the city lord to encircle and suppress the thieves in the city." ”

"Encircle and suppress the thieves in the city?" Bai Junru's fourth disciple Zhu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion, "Haven't the wildfire thieves been driven away? Where did the thieves come from?

Shaking his head, Huang Kuankuan looked at Bai Junru a little bewildered, and hesitated: "It's not a wildfire thief, it's a ......."

Seeing his expression, Bai Junru suddenly realized, and suddenly the old pupils shrank, and muttered, "Taoyuan Gang!"
