Chapter 67: Layout

Who has no parents and brothers, some officials, fathers, sons, brothers, and relatives of the nine clans all serve in the imperial court, civil and military generals, and they are widely implicated. What's more, in which country supplies the materials and salaries of the border army, and which country's officials do not have more or less bribery, this is a maladministration that the imperial court and the emperor cannot control, and the management is incomplete. If there is no war at home and abroad, when the new monarch takes the throne, this kind of thing may naturally take a big move to clean up a batch of silverfish and political malpractices; But now that the two countries are at war, how could the rulers of the Yu State allow this matter to develop, and how could there be such a confused official who does not understand the pros and cons of advancing and retreating to investigate this matter?

Yun Yanzheng couldn't understand it for a while, but when he saw Gu Yi's calm and confident expression, he couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart. Could it be that one of the strategies he showed her before was to divide the envoy from the opposing general, causing his battle line to collapse and disintegrate.

She was still thinking about what strategy he was going to use, and now it seems that this strategy has already been implemented by him, and he has also extended his hand to Yu State, I don't know what kind of connections and strategies were used to disrupt the government of Yu State?

Yun Yanzheng did not forget to ask: "The generals of the Yu Kingdom are all brave and good at fighting, even if there are relatives and friends related to this matter, they will naturally kill their relatives in righteousness; The Empress of Yu is also the monarch of the Qingming Dynasty, so naturally she will not sit on the expedition in a row, this news is not a smokescreen deliberately issued by the other party, to lure us to the bait? ”

Gu Xicheng smiled leisurely in his bright eyes, and said lightly: "Things should be like this, just because there were dozens of lives lawsuits in this matter from the beginning, and it was the empress who angrily ordered a strict investigation. Once investigated, the matter spread rapidly, and now it is out of control, there is no joke, and the empress of Yuguo can't beat herself up in the end. The only way to do this is to make an example of the common people's grievances, and it is impossible for only one person to do the bribery of officials, and even fathers, sons and brothers cover each other, so the father and brother are investigated, no matter whether they are innocent or not, he himself can't run away from the relationship. ”

Yun Yanzheng already knew in his heart that according to the intelligence, Gu He's father and brother who captured Su City were all officials in the court, and now Gu Yi was going to fight him?

"If the general wants to seek refuge in our country, we naturally can't treat him badly." Yun Yan said in a calm voice. When she talked about this matter as the commander of the Wei army and the eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom, it was naturally of a different meaning, and in the eyes of those who did not know, it was more or less equivalent to the meaning of the monarch.

Gu Xi nodded with a smile between his eyebrows, glanced at Yun Yanzheng with interest in his eyes, and saw that she had a playful smile in her laziness, and her face was as bright as flowing water and as beautiful as a song. This woman has the grace and nobility of the eldest princess; and the handsomeness of a military general; There is also a woman's agility and intelligence, all kinds of images seem to be unrelated to each other, but they get excellent harmony in her, and God magically casts such a unique person.

Gu Xi's thoughts disappeared in an instant like a cloud, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "This is natural, I have arranged for people to secretly protect the safety of his family in Yuguo, which will inevitably make him have no worries." ”

When he said this, his demeanor was natural, and he seemed to be telling the truth.

However, in Yun Yanzheng's heart, there was another voice quietly questioning. Did this general really defect? If not, what is Gu Xi's manpower arranged in Yuguo for? Do you really want to kidnap people and sit on the charge of treason? Or do you want to send people to the cusp and cut the neck?

Gu Xi saw the suspicion in her heart, and also felt that this matter was enough to say that the Yuguo spy outside the study who pretended to be Kao went back to "ventilate the news", and he didn't continue to talk about this matter, and resumed holding a pen in one hand and writing occasionally; The silence of flipping through the information on the bookcase with one hand.

After the "Kao" outside the courtyard packed up the utensils and things and gradually walked away, Gu Yi smiled faintly. This spy naturally deliberately gave him the opportunity to enter the hotel, and Gu Xi took the opportunity to let him know some "inside information" and bring it back to the Chinese military camp of the Yuguo army. He deliberately strengthened the patrol outside the study to attract the attention of the Yuguo spies, and let the inside and outside of the palace be tightened so that they could come and lurk and wait for the opportunity to inquire about "intelligence".

and then deliberately put Yun Yanzheng in a very casual posture, and then the two of them were idle and lazy to spread the news, so that no matter how much people listened to it, they didn't think they were talking about this topic on purpose. This is the reason why he has not told Yun Yanzheng in advance, he is too aware of it, and he is only afraid that there will be some flaws in his tone. As expected, Yun Yanzheng also cooperated seamlessly, and the two seemed to chat unintentionally, and talked casually, all of which was done naturally and naturally, and it was more credible to listen to the "people with hearts" who happened to appear there.

Naturally, the arrangement after the event also had to be guided by the situation, and some changes in the number of people and smoke screens were arranged to lure the fish to the bait and complete the purpose of this separation.

All this, after closing his eyes and thinking about it, Yun Yanzheng naturally understood, but a layer of cold sweat stirred up on his back.

Gu Xi's means and skills are really beyond her ability to see through. In the process before and after the "leak" incident in Huicheng, she could even figure out the details. But what about what happened in Yu? How much of it happened by chance, and how much of it was the truth of the matter itself? Whether it is Wei or Yu, both sides will send countless spies to sneak into each other's borders to lurk in case of emergency, when Yun Yanzheng knew about this matter from the briefing, she also thought about making some articles from this matter, but what the Wei spies did could only add fuel to the fire, and could not play a key role at all, and Yu Guo's defense of them was not so easy to break.

However, Yun Yanzheng faintly sensed from the faint narrative in his mouth that the cause and process of this incident seemed to have been carefully calculated and arranged. She closed her eyes and quietly thought that the joints in it must be interlocking and advancing layer by layer, and there are countless things to be calculated, such as people's hearts, rights, national defense, materials, military, and people's livelihood...... How much power does Gu Xi control in this?

Is it so powerful that people are afraid of it?

Or is it all just her own speculation?

"Sir, where are you from?" Yun Yanzheng suddenly opened his eyes and said unexpectedly. She secretly thought in her heart: If he was not from Weiguo, then all her previous precautions were not groundless.

"People of the mountains." Gu Xi smiled slightly, and the depths of his eyes were dark and peaceful.

Yun Yanzheng flattened his mouth with a pitiful expression on his face, and then rolled his eyes a little unwillingly. Muttering in her heart, she forgot that this person can be used for several purposes.

Gu Xi lowered his eyebrows and glanced at her, and chuckled out loud. How did the palace with many rules and intrigues raise such an unrestrained and unscrupulous person, he couldn't help but wonder how Yun Yanzheng's queen mother cultivated her? After he lost his mind, he said slowly in that noble and casual tone: "I have lived with my master in Jimeng Mountain in Ul Country since I was a child. The old man told me that he was an orphan and that he had picked it up. Gu didn't know where he was, and he couldn't answer the eldest princess's question, so he was very sorry. ”

In fact, as long as the answer is from the Wei country, it will satisfy her temptation. She just wanted to say something to apologize, but just opened her mouth, and couldn't help but think of whether his answers were true, or did he just say it to fool her? Yun Yanzheng raised her eyebrows helplessly, following such a person, no wonder her suspicion was really getting more and more terminally ill, and she was about to be incurable.

Gu Xi turned his head to look at her secretly tangled appearance, and his quiet and soft eyebrows couldn't help but smile slightly with pleasure.

"The matter of Sioux City, the arrangements have been arranged, and we are waiting for the implementation and closing of the line step by step." Gu Yi closed the spy report he had just finished reading, and temporarily put down the pen and ink in his hand. Instead, his finger tapped on the desk, his eyes moved to another spread out spy report, but his mouth talked about something unrelated, and said softly: "What are you going to do about the closure of the city?" ”

In the study room of the hotel, the two of them looked at me, I looked at you, glanced at each other, and did not even speak with tacit understanding. In the short silence, they were like playing a dumb riddle, and it was rare that you understood what I meant, and I understood what you meant, and there was no obstacle in it. If there is a third person present, they will definitely feel that they are flirting with their eyebrows, but unfortunately there is no charming atmosphere, and love is the "love" of intelligence.

Do what you have to do! You already know it, but don't I know it? Yun Yan glanced at him, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Gu Xi also knew it, and pursed the corners of his lips slightly, showing a shallow arc. And the yellow book that fell on his eyes was a holy decree that was sent by the latest fast horse. His fingers tapped a few times again and again, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a ruthless determination in his eyes.

The things they are doing now are all laid out in secret, and many of them cannot be said before they succeed, and it is even more inconvenient to say more when they are sparse. However, in the eyes of others, especially in the eyes of the superior in Yuecheng, which was thousands of miles away, they didn't understand why they couldn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, but wasted this great opportunity without moving? If some ministers and concubines knock on the side, chew the root of their tongues and blow the pillow wind, it is easier to have many misunderstandings and deep suspicions. Although Gu Xi repeatedly recounted that they were making plans, cultivating the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang and so on, the emperor still sent several holy decrees in a row, telling them to send troops to destroy the enemy, and it was urgent to do so, and even in the later times, the original tone of calm and forgiveness had changed to strong orders and accusations, and the wording had already shown the patience and anger of a king.
