Volume 4 Southwest Raiders Chapter 285 Clever Tongue (I)
As a scholar with no official position, no position and no meritorious reputation, Zhuge Qingyun has always wanted to find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions after being solemnly invited out of the mountain by Sun Ning.
This is not only to repay His Majesty the Emperor for his kindness, but also for the sake of his own future development.
After all, with his current status, it is indeed difficult to gain a foothold among many officials and important ministers, and what he needs most is a real credit that cannot be questioned by others.
But he Zhuge Qingyun is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, where does he have the strength to sweep away the Sichuan-Shu Rebellion for His Majesty? If you only talk about offering advice and suggestions, with Shen Zhou here, you can't show his ability, at most, the two of them discuss the strategy and then move forward.
It wasn't until he learned that Sun Ning was going to send troops to Hezhou this time that he found an opportunity to show his strengths.
As a native of Sichuan and Shu, Zhuge Qingyun not only knows the local situation well, but also understands the grievances and entanglements within some tribes, including some situations within the five tribes.
Therefore, before the departure of the army, he offered to go with the army, and proposed to Sun Ning a strategy to induce internal strife among the enemy.
Of course, the overall strategy was decided by him and Shen Zhou together, but the specific implementation, especially the matter of entering Hezhou to persuade the leaders of the two departments to oppose the water, was asked by him to come over.
Zhuge Qingyun is still quite confident in his eloquence and eloquence.
Moreover, he also has some friendship with the people in the Cangshan tribe who is the target, and it is completely possible to meet the leaders of his subordinates through friends.
At this time, the facts proved that his idea was correct, not only easily entered Hezhou City, but also was invited into the residence of Shanwei, the head of the Cangshan tribe.
Compared with the important mansions such as the Taishou Mansion occupied by Xiong Dang and others, the mansions here are much shabby, not only covering a smaller area, but also slightly old halls and houses.
However, all the walls and houses in this courtyard are still in their original appearance, and it seems that Shanwei has no intention of destroying the buildings in them.
Zhuge Qingyun, who looked all the way, quickly had a clearer understanding of the goal through the environmental details of this courtyard, and he felt a little more sure in his heart.
Before and after being ushered into a hall, he saw a thin, short man sitting behind a desk, slowly wiping a steel knife. That Senran's temperament suddenly made people's hearts sink, but he still saluted with a smile: "Zhuge Qingyun has seen the head of the mountain. ”
Shan Wei rubbed the knife in his hand hard, turned his wrist again, and pulled out a beautiful knife flower, before he raised his eyes to look at Zhuge Qingyun under the hall: "You came to be a lobbyist on the order of the dog emperor, right?" ”
This is a person who understands, and he actually broke through Zhuge Qingyun's intention at once.
But he didn't show any uneasiness because of this, he only raised his head and smiled: "The head man has good eyesight, but when he comes down here, he is actually more for the sake of the head man and the entire Cangshan Department." ”
"Hehe, that's a nice thing to say, don't you just want to sow discord? I know that you Han people are the most insidious and cunning, and seeing that you can't take my Hezhou City, you try to use such conspiracies! ”
Shan Wei sneered and suddenly got up, walked quickly to Zhuge Qingyun, raised the knife in his hand, and with a slam, it was already on the other party's throat: "You say, should I kill you?" ”
Facing the white blade and neck, Zhuge Qingyun didn't even smile, and still looked at the other party with a smile: "The head man won't do this......"
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
"No, it won't. If the leader really wants to kill me, he won't let me in. You'll have to at least let me finish what I need to say before I can decide what to do with me. ”
Zhuge Qingyun's calm and fearless performance was a little surprised by Shan Wei, and after being stunned for a moment, he snorted again, and the knife had been taken back by him: "Then you can talk about it and see if you can convince me." If you can't, you'll die......"
"As I said just now, I came to see the head man to help you and the entire Cangshan Department."
Zhuge Qingyun said, touching his throat with his hand, there seemed to be a little chill there, but his eyes had already met the other party: "I think, with the shrewdness of the head of the mountain, you won't be able to see that your Cangshan Department has entered a great crisis, right?" ”
"Hmph, alarmist, if it's just this nonsense, I advise you not to bother with words."
"What I'm saying is the truth, do you really think Hezhou can still hold it?" Zhuge Qingyun suddenly asked in a loud voice, and then saw that the other party's eyebrows jumped, and he already showed hesitation.
"The battle two days ago is enough to illustrate the problem, although there are many people in your Cangxiong Five Division, but you also bullied and bullied the rabble in the past, and you are really against the elite of the Shangguan Army, you are not an opponent at all.
"Moreover, although your people fought bravely, they were also quite unfamiliar with defending the city, otherwise they would not have demolished the two walls of Hezhou early.
"So in my opinion, the fall of Hezhou is only a matter of time, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the outcome will be for the Cangxiong Five Division, after all, there are too many casualties among the officers and soldiers, and they always have to find someone to vent."
"You think these words will scare me? Even if the Vietnamese army outside the city has a slight upper hand now, when my follow-up troops and horses arrive, they will definitely not be able to resist it......" Shan Wei retorted again.
Zhuge Qingyun sighed: "Is this really the case?" With your wisdom, the head of the mountain really thinks that those so-called reinforcements can turn the tide of the war? I'm afraid not.
"Don't forget, there is only one battalion of officers and soldiers outside the city now, and in Yuzhou, there are still 100,000 troops that have not moved. If you can have reinforcements, there will only be more reinforcements from the imperial court. ”
Seeing what the other party wanted to say when he opened his mouth, he took another step and said: "I know that the people of Shanweitou have always looked down on the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou, and feel that they pose any threat. But hasn't the fact already told the head that the officers and soldiers are far stronger than you think?
"Wasn't the previous night battle telling the story? Since His Majesty the Emperor can train an elite army, then the other men and horses under him will naturally be able to increase their strength greatly, not to mention that you have only five cangxiong departments, that is, all the tribes of Sichuan and Shu are combined, and it is impossible to compete with them.
"If you insist on being an enemy, the consequence is that the entire clan will be destroyed, is this really the result you want to see?"
If it weren't for the previous big victory, Zhuge Qingyun's rhetoric might not be so convincing.
But now, with the facts in front of him, he can't help but believe it, no matter how hard he is, he can't lie to himself.
So after Zhuge Qingyun's words, Shan Wei finally fell silent for the first time, and his expression was gloomy and a little more entangled.
Seeing this, Zhuge Qingyun seized the opportunity and said: "Of course, the people of Shanweitou can not believe my judgment of the situation, and resolutely believe that you can hold Hezhou and defeat the official army." But have you ever thought that if this is the case, you Cangshan Department will definitely be able to benefit, and you will not suffer because of it? ”
