Chapter 240: Counter-Plotting
Hou Fangyu?" Mao Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Wanheng, guess."
"I guess?" Yan Yingyuan thought for a while and said, "I'm here to be a lobbyist to persuade you to surrender to Jiannu, isn't it?"
Mao Xiang looked at Yan Yingyuan with surprised eyes and said, "Brother Wanheng, you are too powerful, I guessed it."
Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "It's actually very easy to guess this, you listen to my analysis, first of all, Hou Fangyu is extremely suspicious when he enters the city at this time, Jiannu has just retreated on the front foot, and he has entered the city on the back foot, how can it be so coincidental?" The second one, before Jiannu went south, Guide Mansion had just been blocked, and then Hou Fangyu and you were classmates and friends of Guozijian, and they were both leaders of the Fushe, and finally, when this person left Shanyang last year, he often spoke disrespectfully to the saint, so I dare to assert that he must have come to be a lobbyist for Jiannu, and most of their Hou family took refuge in Jiannu."
Mao Xiang was stunned when he heard this: "Brother Wan Heng, after your analysis, it doesn't seem difficult to guess Hou Fangyu's intentions."
"It's not hard to guess." Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "There are many things in this world, as long as you ponder and study them carefully, plus some supporting evidence, it is not difficult to get a glimpse of the truth."
"Taught." Mao Xiangchang shook to the ground, "Hou Fangyu is really here to be a lobbyist, this thief has indeed taken refuge in Jiannu."
After a pause, he said, "If it weren't for the old feelings, I really wanted to arrest him directly, but even so, I also sent someone to spy on him to see if he would find anyone else in the city."
Yan Yingyuan pondered for a moment and then said, "I guess he's here to find you."
"Are you looking for me?" Mao Xiang frowned and said, "You're saying he's here specifically for me?"
Yan Yingyuan said: "Whether Hou Fangyu is here specifically for you or not, in fact, it is easy to identify, if he still comes to you, it means that my guess is true, and when the time comes, you just need to be false and wronged."
"Void and Wrong?" Mao Xiang said, "Brother Wanheng, don't always say half a sentence and leave half a sentence."
Yan Yingyuan said: "I have heard that when the old slave first started the army in Liaodong, he especially liked to learn the Three Kingdoms to use the divisive strategy, and the slave chief Huang Taiji even used the divisive strategy to the extreme, which shows the tradition of building slaves and using the intermediary."
Mao Xiang suddenly said, "So you guess that Hou Fangyu is here to divide you and me?"
"Nine times out of ten." Yan Yingyuan slammed the knot hard, and then continued, "If Hou Fangyu really came to divide you and me on the orders of the commander of Jiannu, this would be a good opportunity to plan and calculate."
Mao Xiang said awe-inspiringly, "Are you saying that Jiannu is not dead yet?"
"It's normal that Jiannu hasn't died yet." Yan Yingyuan said, "Before, I always felt that something was wrong, and I always felt that Jiannu should not retreat so easily, but now I have figured it out, it turned out that he wanted to give us a divisive plan, hehehe, since he wants to be divided, then we will plan it for him to have a counter-plan."
Mao Xiang was also interested at this time, and asked, "Brother Wan Heng, what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything." Yan Yingyuan said, "Just wait for Hou Fangyu to come to you."
After a pause, he continued: "Then no matter what Hou Fangyu says, don't promise him, but don't completely say it to death, leave him a little thought, hang him like this, hang him for half a month."
"Understood." Mao Xiang said, "I'm good at this."
This is how Dong Xiaowan caught up.
……
In the room of the Guide Hall, Hou Fangyu and Fan Chengmo had a fierce quarrel, of course, although the quarrel was fierce, both of them kept their voices to a minimum, afraid that people would hear them.
Hou Fangyu: "He has become a fool, and he won't listen to anything he says now, so don't waste our efforts, let's hurry back and report to the prince."
Fan Chengmo: "You didn't listen to what I said just now, did you? Do you know what kind of punishment awaits you and me if we return in vain?"
Hou Fangyu: "Any punishment can only be suffered."
Fan Chengmo: "What if it is beaten to death as an animal?"
Hou Fangyu: "Fan Chengmo, don't lie to me, the prince won't be like this."
Fan Chengmo: "Hou Fangyu, have you only been with him for a few days?" Our Fan family has been in obedience to the Qing Dynasty since the forty-sixth year of Wanli, and it has been more than twenty-seven years, and my Fan Chengmo was born on the day he was inlaid with a white flag, so do you say that I know Yu Wang Ye better, or do you know him better? Listen to my advice, this must be done."
"But......" Hou Fangyu's brows were already furrowed.
"No, but." Fan Chengmo repeated again, "It must be done."
"Okay." Hou Fangyu said helplessly, "I'll look for him again tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, you have to use your brain." Fan Chengmo said, "Don't go up and go out with the plate, how can you fight with an open flame like you?" You have to take it step by step, understand? And don't be in a hurry."
After a pause, he complained, "Really, I still have to teach you these things."
"Alright, I got it." Hou Fangyu didn't have a good airway, "Step by step."
Fan Chengmo snorted and said, "It's not early, let's go to bed quickly."
Immediately, Fan Chengmo blew out the oil lamp, and the light in the room dimmed.
However, just a moment later, Hou Fangyu's suppressed roar sounded in the room: "Huh, where are you going? What do you want to do? Let me go, huh......
……
The next day, Hou Fangyu found Mao Xiang again.
Seeing Hou Fangyu coming to the door, he was secretly happy, but on the surface, he said with a dark face, "Hou Fangyu, do you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that I'll report you to Yan Yingyuan?"
Hearing Mao Xiang call Yan Yingyuan's name, Hou Fangyu was overjoyed.
From this tone, it seems that the relationship between the two is not harmonious?
At that moment, Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "You won't, because you are Mao Bijiang, the whole Nanjing, no, the whole Nanzhili, who doesn't know the most famous scholar Gao Yi in Mao Bijiang?"
"You don't have a tall hat to squeeze me." Mao Xiang said, "I'm no longer the one I used to be."
"Yes, I understand, you are now the prince of Qinwang." Hou Fangyu said, "But King Qin's scholar is also a scholar, and he can't even deny his old friends, you say yes."
Mao Xiang asked, "Dare to ask which country you are a scholar?"
Hou Fangyu said, "What you are talking about, of course, is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty."
Mao Xiang said: "The scholars of the Ming Dynasty actually worked as a lobbyist for Jiannu?"
"Brother Bijiang, today we won't talk about this, only about poetry and Fengyue." Hou Fangyu diverted the topic and said, "Even if you and my brother really belong to the two countries from now on, they can still become close friends, and there is no shortage of such precedents in ancient times, such as Yanghu and Lu Kang during the Three Kingdoms period?"
The expression on Mao Xiang's face finally eased.
"This is what you said, only talking about poetry."
"It's what I said, only talking about poetry, only talking about Fengyue."
The two talked about a few lines of poetry first, and Hou Fangyu pretended to be casual and asked, "Brother Bijiang, how is that Yan Yingyuan's poetry?" Does this person have half the level of you?"
"He?" Mao Xiang said suddenly, "His person is just a rough man."
"Rough ink? Not really." Hou Fangyu said, "I heard that he is from a human background."
"It's a Wuju person." Mao Xiang said, "Because I failed to pass the test repeatedly, I retreated to the second test of martial arts, and his reputation is just a student, no different from you and me."
"Hey." Hou Fangyu clapped his hands and said, "It turned out to be a Wuju person."
Mao Xiang waved his hand and said, "This man is vulgar, don't talk about him."
"Okay, don't say it." When Hou Fangyu heard this, his heart became more and more happy.
It seems that there is a door, the relationship between Mao Xiang and Yan Yingyuan is not unharmonious, but very unharmonious, in this way, it will be much easier to separate the two, but there is no hurry in advance.
Anyway, Prince Yu's army will not return so quickly.
So what he has is time to implement the discord meter.
……
On this day, Duoduo had just led a banner man of Jiala to sack the Dongtai Salt Works.
After retiring from Shanyang, Duoduo immediately divided his army of 60,000 into 20 routes and sent his troops directly to the towns and salt farms on both sides of the Yellow River (Huai River) and by the sea.
There are only two purposes for this trip, to grab salt, and then to raise food.
To Duoduo's disappointment, there was not much food to grab, but a lot of high-quality Huai salt was grabbed.
Looking at the refined salt of the white flowers filled with hundreds of carriages, Duoduo finally had a long-lost smile on his face, because this cart was not filled with salt, but with silver.
The salt was shipped back to Beijing, where it could be exchanged for silver.
If it is handed over to Fan Yongdou and them, it can be sold at a high price when it is transported to the Mongolian grassland, only Huai salt can almost make up for the loss of the battle of Shanyang, of course, the loss of the flag is not able to be replenished, the flag is not as good as leeks, and the leeks can grow soon after being cut, but the flag is dead in battle, and the children have to wait for them to grow up to make it back.
He Luohui, who accompanied him, was also very happy, but at the same time he was a little regretful: "I just didn't hold a few coats, master, do you want to go to the south to have a look?" A short distance to the south, it seems to enter the territory of Yangzhou Prefecture."
Duoduo was also a little moved, but after a moment of silence, he said, "Forget it."
A Shanyang City has already broken their muscles and bones, Yangzhou City is said to be stronger than Shanyang City, how many people have to die in battle to take it? I'm afraid that all the battles may not be able to be taken.
Therefore, it is better not to go deep into Yangzhou Mansion easily.
After all, it's the end of April, and the weather is getting warmer.
And the biggest feature of Nanzhili is that the river is vertical and horizontal.
In case after they go deep into Yangzhou, all the rivers thaw, and then they fail to raise boats in time, then it is really called the heaven and the earth.
Thinking of this, Duoduo said again: "He Luohui, you immediately send out flying horses, let all the people and horses carry supplies, and rush to Liu Lingtai Town, twenty miles east of Shanyang, to gather."
"Whew!" He Luo will respectfully agree.
Soon, dozens of flying horses scattered in all directions.
After receiving Duoduo's military order, the other 19 people who had been scattered before gathered at Liu Lingtai with the captured people, livestock and materials.
At this time, Hou Fangyu's rebellion against Mao Xiang had also entered the final stage.
After nearly half a month of foreshadowing and testing, Hou Fangyu decided to show his hole cards.
