Chapter 89: Yang Wei intercedes
Lu Zhi and Zhang Zhen asked Yang Wei about what he said he was doing, although they had all heard about Yang Wei's affairs, but what they knew was a rough idea, but the specific situation was not very clear. Yang Wei's eloquence is already good, and he has made it clear to them what he can say, but whenever it comes to his martial arts, he deliberately weakens it, and only highlights the achievements of his few generals.
I saw that Yang Wei was talking about the sky and foaming, Lu Zhi and Zhang Zhen listened to it with a fluttering heart and blood boiling, as if they had experienced a big battle with Yang Wei, between them and the Yellow Turban, the Yellow Turban collapsed in the field battle, and after the Yellow Turban retreated into Yecheng, they only surrounded it, so they and the Yellow Turban had not experienced a decent battle yet.
At this time, I heard Yang Wei's record, of course, I was envious and admired, Yang Wei fought a tough battle, Yang Wei's opponent was not a rabble like the Yellow Turban, it was a grassland barbarian like a wolf pack, the war between Da Yue and these barbarians, if the troops were equal, it would never be good. However, Yang Wei was outnumbered and defeated the strong with the weak, so they couldn't help but admire him.
Before they knew it, it was dinner time, and they didn't know how time passed, until the guards reported that the meal had been prepared and asked if they were eating, and they realized that they were all a little hungry. When Yang Wei thought of eating, he suddenly thought of Zhang Rang's bloody appearance of scolding the yellow scarf that day because he didn't eat delicious food, and his heart trembled, how could he forget about this guy.
I didn't bring him to the banquet, and now Zhang Rang still scolds me in my stomach for some reason. Yang Wei thought of this and said to Lu Zhi: "There is another person who wants to invite him over, that is, Zhang Rang, the eunuch of the palm print who went to me to announce the decree, and he will trouble Uncle Lu to send someone to go." ”
Lu Zhi frowned and said: "A eunuch, why does the virtuous nephew value him so much?" Yang Wei looked at it, yes, this one is going to develop on the old road again, he was ruined in the hands of a eunuch in his previous life, and he can't see him unlucky in this life.
Yang Wei then reminded Lu Zhi: "I'd rather offend the gentleman than the villain, these eunuchs wander around the emperor every day, and say a word or two of Uncle Lu's bad words to the emperor, Uncle Lu, your 100 points of merit may become ten, or even one point, although the emperor is not a person with soft ears now, but everyone is sparkling gold, accumulating and destroying bones, if you can not offend these people, it is better to try to make friends." ”
Lu Zhi snorted lightly, obviously he looked down on these eunuchs in his heart. Yang Wei is also helpless, anyway, he has already clicked on his words, and it is useless to say more. Fortunately, Lu Zhi saw Yang Wei's face, so he still sent guards to ask Zhang Rang.
Yang Wei asked the question in his heart at this time, and said: "I see that Uncle Lu's arrangement is just to besiege Yecheng, and it seems that he has not experienced a war, I don't know why?"
Lu Zhi squeezed his eyes at him and said, "Guess." "Now that there is finally something to stump Yang Wei's cheap nephew, I can't help but feel a little proud.
Yang Wei frowned and analyzed: "The advantage of my Dayue officers and soldiers lies in the quality of the soldiers, weapons and equipment, and the advantage of the Yellow Turban lies in the large number of people. The field battle is certainly not the opponent of our Da Vietnamese officers and soldiers, so they can only retreat in the fortified city, hoping to consume our army's strength by defending the city, in an attempt to turn the situation around. Then why did Uncle Lu only besiege them, could he not starve them to death?"
Lu Zhi clapped his hands and said, "My purpose is to force them out of the city to fight a decisive battle with me! Their numbers are so large that almost all the young men of Jizhou have become their soldiers. Crowded in a small Yecheng, they are all young and strong, and the amount of food is not small, how long can the grain in a Yecheng city last? When the grain is exhausted, they will naturally go out of the city to fight me!"
After speaking, Lu Zhi let out a sigh of relief, and was very proud of his countermeasures, and after only surrounding for a while, he would naturally win the initiative on the battlefield and transform his advantage into victory.
Yang Wei frowned and said in a deep voice: "Then Uncle Lu has not thought about it, if the grain stock is exhausted, the Yellow Turban soldiers will definitely go to rob the rations of the people of Yecheng, and the people who will starve to death first will definitely be the people of Yecheng, and in the end, the people who are hungry may have a tragic incident of eating and slaughtering women to eat meat." At that time, how will Uncle Lu deal with himself?"
Yang Wei's implication is that if you Lu Zhi forces the people of Yecheng to that point, your Lu Zhi's reputation will be completely ruined. Thinking of what Yang Wei said, Lu Zhi's face was also a little pale, but then his eyes became firm again, and he said: "Ci is not in charge of the army, for the sake of the surname of my subordinate son, what if I am infamy?"
This is the difference in the concept of the two, Lu Zhi is more suitable for leading troops, his idea is actually very simple, these soldiers are brought out by him, he wants to minimize the casualties of these soldiers, as for those people in Yecheng, what do they do to him? Yang Wei is too soft-hearted, he would rather have some casualties in the army than see the miserable end of these people.
Yang Wei sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't persuade Lu Zhi. You can only say your own requests, and try to reserve a trace of vitality for the big ones. So Yang Wei said solemnly: "Even so, the little nephew will not say much, and there is another matter that Uncle Lu will agree to." Lu Zhi said: "The virtuous nephew has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak, as long as I can do it, I will do it for the virtuous nephew." ”
Yang Wei solemnly clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "Jizhou Qingzhuang Yecheng, Uncle Lu said that he was victorious, and asked Uncle Lu to only punish the evil and let go of those captives who had no evil deeds, after all, many Yellow Turban thieves were coerced by others to join the Yellow Turban, and asked Uncle Lu to reserve some vitality for Jizhou." ”
Lu Zhi was stunned, he didn't expect that Yang Wei would beg him for those yellow turban thieves, you know, these yellow turban thieves are all major crimes of rebellion, even if they are all killed, it is not an exaggeration. However, what Yang Wei said is also reasonable, if he kills them all, he will not be able to do that, you know, this is nearly a million people. So he nodded solemnly and said, "Okay! I promise you!"
Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, a person lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, it was Zhang Rang. Yang Wei hurriedly got up to introduce everyone, but Zhang Rang waved his hand and said, "No need to introduce, everyone knows each other." As he spoke, he walked to the low table that the guards had just added, and sat down cross-legged.
Lu Zhi frowned when he saw Zhang Rang acting like this, he was a member of the court, a small eunuch was so big, he already looked down on these eunuchs, and now he was even more annoyed, although his face was not too ugly, but it was not good-looking. On the contrary, Zhang Zhen and Yang Wei turned a blind eye and began to praise each other with Zhang Rang.
Zhang Rang's face was full of joy, but Lu Zhi's face was getting darker and darker. Yang Wei saw it in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, what happened to this Lu Zhi and the eunuch Prisoner Chong? Invite others to the banquet well, but don't smash the good things and turn them into bad things, but it's not good.
