The Wu brothers are talking with their eyebrows raised, it seems that they can personally lead an army of 100,000 tomorrow to annihilate the Jurchens in one fell swoop, and make immortal feats for the Ming Dynasty. But Yang Ju on the side frowned deeper and deeper. But the two brothers were completely unaware of it, and they were still talking there.

Yang Ju finally couldn't help it, he glanced up at Yu Ren, "Brother Yu, what do you think?" ”

"I don't think the two Wu brothers' rush strategy is absolutely not advisable."

The two brothers on the opposite side were blowing vigorously, and they suddenly received a dull stick from Yu Ren, and they couldn't help but be very angry. Wu Peng was the first to jump out, "You said that it is absolutely not advisable." What is the reason? ”

Yu Ren was not in a hurry, he slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea first, and then said unhurriedly, "Not to mention whether our Daming can transfer 100,000 fine taxes to Liaodong right now." Even if it's called out. That's a patchwork of teams. Such a rabble, let alone fighting, even if it is a unified command, I am afraid that it will become a problem.

Besides, our army has suffered a new defeat, and it has been defeated so badly. The army was extremely cowardly towards the Jurchens. Under such circumstances, if the two armies were to face each other, I was afraid that before the Jurchens let their horses go into battle, our soldiers would flee for their lives in fear. In such a situation, even if our muskets are at stake, what is the use?

Don't forget the saying: When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. In the battle on the battlefield, you need to be brave first! ”

"You hairless boy with a hairy mouth, what do you know!" Wu Peng shouted.

Yu Ren said no more. He really felt that talking to such a person was simply an insult to himself.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two sides was a little tense, "Mr. Zhao", who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said, "Oh, Yun'er! Didn't you just say that there was something you wanted to ask the two Wu brothers for advice alone! Now is an opportunity, the two Wu brothers are both great talents, and it is rare to have the opportunity to meet them. I will fulfill you today.

Brother Yu and I went downstairs for tea. Here's what I'll leave to you. ”

After speaking, "Mr. Zhao" glanced at Yang Ju. Yang Ju immediately realized, "Oh! Yeah. Let's go downstairs. ”

As they spoke, they got up and went downstairs.

The Wu brothers are naturally not stupid, of course, they can also see that "Mr. Zhao" is afraid that they will conflict with Yu Ren. However, they are happy with such an outcome. Because, no matter what reason they use to avoid the second floor, it can only say one thing: it is they who win.

Yang Ju led Yu Ren and the others to the second floor, where they sat down at a table by the window. Yang Ju vigorously gave Yu Ren a confession.

Yu Ren was completely unimpressed. He has seen too many people who have no knowledge in their stomachs, but who have to be intellectuals. "Mr. Zhao" rebuilt tea for a few people.

Yang Ju didn't wait for the tea to come up, so he couldn't wait to ask, "In Brother Yu's opinion." What should we do in Liaodong now? ”

Yang Ju is a talented man, and he must still have some talent. Although military affairs are not his forte, he can also hear from the discussions between Yu Ren and the Wu brothers which is a practical tactic and which is a lie.

Yu Ren glanced at Lu Xiangsheng, "I still have the original opinion." At present, in Liaodong, the Jurchens are temporarily powerful. We should avoid its edge and send an old and serious general to first gather scattered soldiers outside the pass. Then they refused to defend the city, and built artillery and muskets. Sun Tzu Youyun: First be invincible, and wait for the enemy to be victorious.

Let's defend the city first, so that the Jurchens can't go south, and then slow down the way to weaken them. Although the Jurchens were strong, they could not gain more than a few cities. I believe that with my Ming manpower, material resources, and financial resources, as long as the Jurchens are dragged down, it won't take long for them to be completely dragged down by us. At that time, the Jurchens don't need us to fight, and they will be in chaos first.

At this time, it will be easy to clean them up again. ”

After Yang Ju heard this, he was silent for a long time before he said. "In Brother Yu's opinion, this person sent to Liaodong must first know the soldiers, secondly, he must be old and serious, and third, he must have courage. In this way, looking for the government and the opposition, only one person can satisfy these three at the same time. ”

"Who?" Lu Xiangsheng was the first to ask.

"The current Dali Temple Cheng Xiong Tingbi. This person had served as the Liaodong Inspector ten years ago, and he had a good understanding of the situation in Liaodong. In addition, this person Xiang is a well-known bold faction in the court, and he was secretly nicknamed: 'Xiong Barbarian', and sent him to Liaodong, thinking that he would not be timid. ”

Yu Ren did not speak. Because he thinks that no matter how hotly they talk here, it will not have the slightest influence on the final decision of the imperial court. Although Yang Ju is famous, it is almost impossible to influence the court situation. After all, he is just a scholar in the opposition, and he is a scholar who has not even taken the Jinshi exam. Even if what he said is reasonable, who will take his words as the same thing among those bigwigs in the DPRK and China who are far away in Beijing! It's hard to even reach their ears.

Therefore, Yu Ren was not enthusiastic about the discussion of the crisis in Liaodong.

However, Yang Ju obviously didn't think so. He asked Yu Ren for advice very seriously, and it seemed that they were all important members of the court, and their final decision would determine the fate of the country.

"What does Brother Yu think?"

Yu Ren put down a few slices of melon seeds in his hand with some reluctance, and looked up to see that "Mr. Zhao" on the side was also looking at him with expectant eyes, so Yu Ren straightened his lazy body. Put away his hippie smiling face, and said seriously, "I just don't know what this Lord Xiong thinks about the situation in Liaodong?" ”

"This should be reassuring. I remember hearing Mr. Qian say that although this Xiong Tingbi is bold, he has always been cautious about the overall situation in Liaodong. When he was patrolling Liaodong, he wrote to the imperial court many times, advocating that the strategy of preserving Liao should be based on defense. ”

Yu Ren tried hard to think about the name "Xiong Tingbi" in his mind. Unfortunately, the end result is still nowhere to be found. Yu Ren knew that this did not mean that this Xiong Tingbi was not famous. It can only show that his historical knowledge is too shallow. I knew that I was going to travel to the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, so I must first find the history of the Ming Dynasty and memorize this period of history. Yu Ren secretly regretted it in his heart.

However, it is useless to regret it now. Since he can't find the answer from his own historical memory, he has to make a judgment based on what Yang Ju said in front of him.

"I think if everything you know about this person is true, then he should be the right person for the moment."

Yang Ju let out a long sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll give Mr. Qian a letter of repair, and the family will send it to Jingshi immediately."

After saying that, Yang Juju stood up. "So, a few young brothers. Today, let's get here first! In the evening, let's go to the Xizi Restaurant in the city to have a good chat. Now, several young brothers are also tired for a long time, so it is better to go back to the inn to rest first. Senior Brother Zhao sent a few young brothers on my behalf. ”

After speaking, Yang Ju stood up, bowed his hand to everyone again and again, and said, "Forgive sins, forgive sins!" ”

"Mr. Zhao" sent a few people to the door of the teahouse, and suddenly asked Yu Ren, "Brother Yu hasn't told the address of Yun'er Inn yet, I don't know which inn Brother Yu lives in?" In the evening, I will arrange for the housekeeper to invite him. ”

Yu Ren looked at the fat man Xu beside him with some embarrassment. I can't tell her that we live in a stone house on the mountain! That's a shame. Besides, people don't believe it!

"Ahh Our eldest is now living in Hangzhou, and is temporarily staying at my house. If you want to invite him, just go to Xu's house in the alley in the west corner of the city. Xu Fatzi said, and hurriedly pulled Yu Ren to leave. Unexpectedly, after only walking a few steps, he saw Lu Xiangsheng catch up again.

"I see that Brother Yu is not enthusiastic about this matter. ......Seeing that the "Mr. Zhao" who saw him off had already turned back into the teahouse, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly caught up with Yu Ren.

Yu Ren naturally understood the meaning of his words. He was worried that he had just agreed to participate in the competition on behalf of Donglin, and he was perfunctory to Yang Ju them. This is not surprising either. After all, Yu Ren's performance has always been light, not as positive as Lu Xiangsheng, and not as sworn as the other two.

Yu Ren patted Lu Xiangsheng on the shoulder. "Don't worry! Although I, Yu Ren, am not a celebrity, I will still abide by what I promised. Besides, if I don't go, it will not only harm Yang Dacai, but also drag you into the water with Brother Lu. Although you and I have not known each other for a long time, we are familiar at first sight. If nothing else, just protect Brother Lu's reputation, and when the time comes, I will also give up my life! ”
