Text Chapter 166
Zhu Xiyan and the others went to Jin to see Lin Fengxiang first, but they just said some military information, and the work was not big, so they came out, only to see Zhu Xiyan walk up to Li Shu'er and said in a low voice: "Old immortal, I have reported to Prime Minister Lin Cheng, saying that you are an enlightened gentry, and you have a good strategy to break the enemy, so Prime Minister Lin Cheng is willing to agree to meet you, and I hope that the old fairy will grasp the balance between his words, and not Meng Lang." ”
"Thank you." Uncle Li didn't say much, lifted the hem of his shirt, and strode towards Lin Fengxiang's military tent.
Approaching the front of the tent, a group of soldiers in black clothes and black armor, with red scarves on their heads, and flint muskets with breech charges on their backs, stopped Li Shu'er, who raised his hands very cooperatively, and was about to let the soldiers search their bodies, when he heard a deep voice from inside the tent: "This prime minister has the protection of his heavenly father, are you afraid of any assassins, just come in!" ”
Uncle Li listened to the voice, but before he saw him, a rough air of a good man was about to come out, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl and entered the tent on his back.
Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue hesitated, and followed Li Shu'er in, but those soldiers did not stop them.
Entering the tent, there are gold-painted wooden frames, weapons, flags and other weapons on both sides of the tent, needless to say, but the moisture-proof sheep felt spread on the ground, stepping on it without movement, and the military tent of Zhu Xiyan is very different.
Of course, what attracted Uncle Li the most was the one who was sitting behind the huge table and using a pair of red phoenix eyes; Lin Fengxiang, who stared at them coldly.
Seeing Lin Fengxiang's true face, Uncle Li and they couldn't help but show a look of surprise, what's going on? It turned out that in their imagination, Lin Fengxiang was a powerful general who commanded thousands of troops, and he should be the kind of great man with a burly figure and a fierce appearance, but the man in front of him was a beautiful man with a fair complexion, light eyebrows and fine eyes, and two beards.
Seeing Uncle Li and the others standing there silently, a chill flashed in Lin Fengxiang's eyes, and he sneered: "Since you are here, but Xu Shu entered Cao Ying without saying a word, what is the reason?" ”
"Uh," Uncle Li was embarrassed, realized his gaffe, couldn't help but clench his fists, and said: "The prime minister is no longer strange, the old man can see the prime minister's true face, and he admires it, so he has a little gaffe, and I hope that the prime minister will forgive his sins!" ”
"Hmph," Lin Fengxiang sneered again, "You northerners have always judged people by their appearance, and they always thought that the general must be eight feet tall and had a leopard head and eyes, but I don't know that there were elegant generals like Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin in ancient times, and there was a generation of great Confucian kings Yangming Wang Shouren in the near future, who also led troops to quell the rebellion and made great military achievements. ”
Lin Fengxiang's elegant rhetoric completely subverted Uncle Li's previous impression of Lin Fengxiang, but Uncle Li was also a free and uninhibited person, and immediately smiled: "Forgive the old man for being clumsy, and making the mistake of judging people by his appearance and losing his son Yu, since the prime minister is also a big hero who is not informal, the little old man will no longer stick to those red tape, lest the prime minister think that our master is a child, hehe"
After speaking, Uncle Li actually sat on the ground, and waved his hand to signal Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue to sit down as well.
Seeing Uncle Li sitting on the ground, Lin Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, but then smiled, looked at Uncle Li with interest for a while, and said, "You have come all the way to see Prime Minister Ben, I don't know what you want to say?" ”
Uncle Li ignored Lin Fengxiang's question, but reached out and touched the sheep felt on the ground; grinned and praised: "It's really a good thing, it's soft and noisy, but I don't know how it compares to the gold bricks in the Forbidden City?" ”
"Huh?" Hearing Uncle Li'er's meaningful words, Lin Fengxiang's face changed, he looked at Uncle Li, and his smile became cold: "Are you here to be a lobbyist for those demons?" If that's the case, then I'm just a few more flag-sacrificing ghosts in my army. ”
"Hehe," Uncle Li looked at Lin Fengxiang who had burst out of murder in his eyes with an unchanged expression, "The old man is not talented, but he has not yet fallen to the point of being a lobbyist for the Qing Demon, the old man is here, not only to protect the thousands of creatures in Cangzhou City from the suffering of swords, but also to prevent the general's thousands of good Erlang from bleeding in vain, I don't know if the prime minister thinks that the old man is here for this, whether he should be beheaded?" ”
"Oh?" Lin Fengxiang's face softened, sat back on the handsome chair, put one hand on his cheeks, looked at Uncle Li and asked, "Tell me about it......"
Li Shu'er stood up, paced slowly in the tent, and said slowly: "The prime minister led his troops all the way here, it can be said that he is attacking the city and pulling out the village, unstoppable, the soldiers are in the direction, the Qing court is shaking, and even the Mongolian cavalry of the iron hat monk Greenqin, who guards the home and courtyard in Gyeonggi, has been sent out to help defend Tianjin County, which shows that the prime minister's tiger power is already famous in the world, even if it is Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty, it is nothing more than that, right?" ”
Regarding Lin Fengxiang's compliments, although Lin Fengxiang was noncommittal, he also bowed his head slightly, and it could be seen that Li Shu'er's half-literate remarks were very useful.
Seeing that Lin Fengxiang didn't speak, Uncle Li didn't mind, and continued: "However, as the so-called blessings and misfortunes lurk and misfortunes rely on, just when the prime minister is invincible, he has actually put himself in a dangerous situation......"
"Really? Since the Tianjing army, my horsewhip pointed, all of them hope that the wind will fall, the army of 20,000, today there are 100,000 people, I don't know where the danger comes from? Lin Fengxiang looked at Uncle Li with a teasing look on his face and asked with a smile.
"When Cao Mengde's 800,000 army, was killed by the Sun and Liu coalition army, hundreds of thousands of armor control soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, was captured by the 100,000 Jurchen cavalry, the mountains and rivers changed color, it can be seen that the soldiers are noble and not many, besides, now Sheng Baodu led the Qing army in the back of the chase, the Mongolian cavalry of Seng Lingqin in Tianjin Jinghai to wait for work, the prime minister alone in the depth, should be the soldier is fast, while the Mongolian cavalry in Tianjin Jinghai has not yet been deployed, go straight to Tianjin, after the capture of the victory of the army, directly take Gyeonggi, Complete the trust of the king of heaven and establish the heroic annals of the world, but the prime minister is surrounded by heavy troops for a Cangzhou city, protracted, such a big move, one is that the soldiers are tired and unable to recuperate, and the other is that the weather is cold and freezing, and the supply and baggage are unsustainable, and the old man is really worried about the prime minister! Li Shu'er twisted a few beards that became less and less, and talked eloquently, seeing that Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue were amazed, and said that this old liar is too difficult to say, and he is about to catch up with those professional lobbyists in the Warring States, there are really two brushes.
After listening to Uncle Li's analysis in detail, Lin Fengxiang involuntarily sat up straight, looked at him and said, "Please continue." ”
Uncle Li just can't boast, when he saw Lin Fengxiang listening to his words, he couldn't help but start to get nervous: "What, let's have a whole cup of tea first, it's been a long time, and my tongue is no longer sweating......"
"Come, tea, watch!" Lin Fengxiang smiled and shouted outside the account.
A group of pro-soldiers rushed in, set up round stools, square tables, tea sets, and snacks for Uncle Li and them, and retreated solemnly.
"Uncle, please use tea!" Lin Fengxiang made a gesture of invitation to Uncle Li.
Uncle Li was not polite, he ate and drank, and after a while, he wiped his mouth, and then said: "In my humble opinion, the best way for the prime minister is to borrow the road from Cangzhou City without blood, so that the people in Cangzhou City do not have to be poisoned by this war, and the prime minister can get the supply of gunpowder and food without losing a single soldier, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" ”
"However, Shen Ruchao, the governor of Cangzhou City, and Decheng, the city guard, are very stubborn, and they are only thousands of officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion and return to the Han Regiment to practice and defend to the death, I don't know how to pass by?" Before Lin Fengxiang's words fell, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou looked at each other, and almost laughed out loud, secretly saying that only a few thousand defenders blocked these Taiping troops here, and they were still boasting.
As soon as he saw that Lin Fengxiang's heart was alive, Uncle Li knew that it was time to take the medicine, so he said in a slow voice: "The old man is not talented, but he is also willing to go to the city of Cangzhou for the sake of the common people in the world, and he is willing to use this three-inch tongue to say that Shen Ruchao will use the Tao to talk to the prime minister, and the two sides will stop fighting, okay?" ”
"Okay, of course it's good, it's just that I only have a one-sided relationship with my father-in-law, how can I trust my father-in-law?" That Lin Fengxiang is not stupid, when he heard that Uncle Li volunteered to go into the city to be a lobbyist, he couldn't help but wonder if Uncle Li wanted to sneak into the city, so he looked at Uncle Li with a gloomy smile, and said tentatively.
"The prime minister has already used soldiers, don't you know the truth that you don't need to use suspicious people, and you don't doubt the truth of employing people, since the prime minister doubts the motives of the old decay, then the old decay will leave now!" After speaking, Uncle Li got up and made a gesture to leave.
"Hey, the old man ...... angry" As soon as he saw that Uncle Li was leaving, Lin Fengxiang just got up and wanted to stop him, but he saw Liu Ruoxue suddenly said: "I am willing to stay in your barracks as a hostage!" ”
Wei Ergou looked at Liu Ruoxue in horror, almost covered her mouth, blushed and shouted with a thick neck: "You are crazy, or are you stupid after taking too much cold medicine, this, this, is this the place where you are staying, ah, hurry up and shut up and stay honestly, I can't control you, right?" ”
Yang Yi also pulled the corners of Liu Ruoxue's clothes, suggesting that she should not talk impulsively.
But Liu Ruoxue seemed to be iron-hearted, shook Yang Yi's hand vigorously, and pointed to Wei Ergou's nose and said: "Who are you talking to, ah, let me ask you, who are you talking to, come, you say it again, just like just now, say it!" ”
As soon as he saw that Liu Ruoxue was really excited, Wei Ergou immediately became a little raccoon, looked at Liu Ruoxue with a wry smile and snorted: "Aren't I excited, I said that I pouted, you see you don't keep getting angry, it's not good for your skin, be good, don't be angry, come, laugh, Tian Qi ......"
Liu Ruoxue was amused by Wei Ergou's strange appearance of squeezing her eyebrows, left him, walked to Uncle Li, blinked her eyes, and said, "Uncle, you just have to go, I am a hostage here, where the loess does not bury people......"
Liu Ruoxue deliberately said the local character more heavily, and Uncle Li instantly understood her intentions.
