Chapter 114 Deliberation

Suddenly hearing the word "congratulations", all the officials who had fallen into despair couldn't help but be stunned, and when they saw that the person who came was a long-shirted gentleman, except for Deng Sen who was full of anticipation, everyone else's hearts sank.

Not surprising at all. On the same subject, the illiterate people in the market listened to various versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Mr. Storyteller, and readers read Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms", well, it had to be Pei Songzhi's note. The soldiers who have little culture love to listen to Mr. Storyteller's nonsense, and they have long admired the miracle of a scholar's lupine scarf to break the strong enemy, and all the civil officials have been old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years, the difference between them and Mr. Storyteller is that the latter does not read well, and even before Xiucai is desperate, he has to go to tell stories to make a living, and the officials are all scholars, Xiucai raises people to pass the test all the way, and of course scoffs at the various myths made up by the scumbags, and no one will believe it. How could a young scholar have any clever plan to resist "hundreds of thousands" of robbers - no one knew how many people Guan Shengyun had at this time, looking at the scale of the floating corpse, this kind of speculation was normal.

Luo Shifan didn't care about the faces of the officials at all, and walked straight to the front to give a salute and looked at them with a smile.

The overjoyed Deputy Marshal Deng rubbed his hands and was about to reply like a general in the commentary, "May I ask where the gentleman's happiness comes from", seeing that the officials did not answer with a calm face, he quickly swallowed back the lines that came to his lips, and looked at several civil officials in confusion. Hu Chuanlu knew that it was time for him to come out of the round, so he returned the salute and asked: "Ahem, may I ask Mr. Luo, who is entrusted by you, and how do you say the word 'congratulations'?" ”

Of course, Luo Shifan didn't know Hu Chuanlu. Seeing that he was wearing a scribe's scarf, at first he thought it was an official's staff, but when he got closer and saw that his face was wrinkled, he was obviously past the age of being a master, so he thought that it was his superior, and when Hu Chuanlu took the lead in speaking, he understood: This is a respected gentleman of Xiangyang Mansion, who is a microphone for the officials. So he pointed to the north and replied solemnly: "The student is entrusted by the commander over there, and wants to trouble you to convey a wish to the imperial court: we ask the imperial court to recruit peace." ”

Onslaught!

The officials, who were completely desperate and about to seek death, suddenly heard that the thieves who were about to force themselves to death actually "ask to surrender", and they were so shocked that they couldn't help but suspect that they had heard it wrong, and looked at each other, and no one knew what to say for a while. Mo Qiushui stared at Luo Shifan intently and looked carefully, and a series of questions appeared in his heart: At such a young age, how could the bandit leader on the other side trust him to do such a big thing, who is he the bandit leader? Listening to the accent, it is indeed from the area of Ganshan, what happened, such a robber actually wants to ask for Zhao'an? Could it be that the imperial court has transferred heavy troops to surround and besiege the thieves, and the thieves are cornered? No, I don't know the situation in the north, east and west, but Xiangyang Mansion is already a no-man's land, and you can come at any time you want......

Luo Shifan still stood with a smile, look at this, look at that. Hu Chuanlu was also stupid, and subconsciously asked: "Zunjia won't be joking, right?" ”

Luo Shifan replied lightly: "The student is not talented, how dare he use his life to make such a joke?" ”

Summing up a big matter, Hu Chuanlu, who has no official status, has no way to get involved anymore, Zhang Kexin hurriedly said: "Lord Mo, my lords, Mr. Luo, this is not a place to speak, should we go in and talk slowly?" ”

Gan Zhihai hesitated: "Could it be a ...... to delay the army?"

Without waiting for the word "plan" to come out, Luo Shifan laughed, and with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he said coldly: "What is Xiangyang Mansion like now, you adults know better than students, do you still need any measures to delay the army?" The students have not encountered any obstacles along the way, and if it is not for sincere discussion, what if the group of people has gone straight away? ”

Mo Qiushui, who was in the fog of five miles, hurriedly replied: "Mr. Luo, let's talk in the yali." As he spoke, he glanced at Gan Zhihai. Gan Zhihai glanced back knowingly, and everyone led Luo Shifan to walk towards the yali. Gan Zhihai, who deliberately lagged a few steps behind, whispered to the followers: "Go back to the palace quickly, and Ming Chitose will pack up his things first." I'll go and hear the situation, and if anything is wrong, wait for my news and leave immediately without waiting for me. ”

Of course, the floating corpses were all thrown into the water by Guan Shengyun.

This was Luo Yonghao's idea.

On the third day after the capture of Nanyang, Guan Shengyun convened a meeting of generals in the Tang Palace, according to the request of the military advisor Luo Yonghao.

The harvest of Nanyang is too great, Rao is generals are not the group of people who have just come out of Shaanxi Province, they are all people who have seen the world, but they are still shocked by the huge wealth in the Tang Palace, especially the Yamen of the Nanyang Prefect, and they will wake up with laughter when they are happy, and they are still in a state of excitement when they participate in the military conference, and they can't calm down for a long time.

Luo Yonghao has never seen such a scale of goods. However, from the proud rookie of officialdom in the spring breeze to the magistrate who was assigned to a remote and poor place to be a county magistrate who never had a bright future, and then to a military advisor who bowed down to the army of a hundred battles, after these ups and downs in life, he looked at things outside his body a lot.

In the past few days, everyone has been staying in the Tang Palace, which has been turned upside down, and You Futian lives in the bedroom of Chen Bowen, a long history. There is a porcelain pillow painted with the rising sun rising out of the water on the couch*, because of the lack of water in the five elements, the two battalions of the collar have water, You Futian likes it very much, picks it up and looks at it and is thinking about turning around and taking it away, feeling that there is something rolling inside, tossing for a long time, he actually pulled out a glass jewel with a diameter of two inches: the crystal crystal is wrapped in the inner part of the orange petal-shaped flowers, and there is no trace of gap on the outside! You Futian didn't dare to keep such treasures privately, so he presented them to Guan Shengyun, Guan Shengyun and then transferred them to Luo Yonghao, but he didn't expect the military advisor to thank him, and he put them aside casually, not taking them to heart at all. The whole process was watched by Zhang Ding, so Cheng Tianjie went to Bajie Luo Military Division today with three gold rings and two hostas tomorrow - Tang Wangfu is Gao Tengdou's Flying Beast Camp and Poxiao Camp Zhang Ding didn't dare to have any attempts, the prefect's yamen was You Futian's bag, and he couldn't touch it, taking advantage of Gong Derun Gu Baihua occupying the treasury, General Zhang commanded his subordinates to raid all the official and dignitary homes in Nanyang, and the harvest was not small. When Luo Yonghao understood Zhang Ding's intentions, he confiscated his messy things and gave him the jewel.

can break Zhang Dingmei! Let Guo Qinglin find the best craftsman in the auxiliary barracks, insert the orb into the hat, and stare intently at the sidelines, and then put on the camp to swagger. Tens of thousands of people saw a big glass ball on General Zhang's head, except for a limited number of people, they were all envious: Guan Shengyun didn't care much about all kinds of treasures, anyway, it was a favor for the military advisor, who people liked to send to whom, Luo Yonghao didn't take it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have given it to Zhang Ding easily, and the most angry was You Futian, who had the urge to beat him every time he saw it......

Seeing that all the generals were giggling and not in shape, Luo Yonghao smiled slightly: "Generals, we have fought a lot of big and small battles along the way. Which battle do you think is the most dangerous? ”

Gao Tengdou responded first: "It should be the battle of Yanchuan, right?" If it weren't for the third division of Shaanxi Province to penetrate the letter in advance, most of Gu Manzi's battalion would have collapsed in Yanshui. ”

Gu Baihua glanced at Gao Tengdou gratefully, subconsciously touched the back of his head and didn't speak.

Zhang Ding was unconvinced: "I'm sorry! Naturally, it was the battle of Hangu Pass! Gu Manzi just almost broke some soldiers in Yanshui, and in the battle of Hangu Pass, I was really broken my backbone! Twenty and a half percent of the battalion died, nearly one percent had broken hands and feet and became crippled, and now they all have to be fed by Lao Zhang, and the remaining more than fifty percent of everyone is injured, and even I almost survived the corpse! If it hadn't been replenished, Camp Perak would have been gone! ”

In that battle, Gong Derun allocated half of the battalion to Zhang Ding, and the losses were also heavy, so he echoed with affection: "This is the truth. The Gangfeng battalion also suffered more than 30 percent losses. ”

Since sitting down, You Futian has been staring at the glass ball on Zhang Ding's hat, and he is angry, and said angrily: "That's your soldier's food!" Feints can have a lot of casualties, and you are embarrassed to say! My two battalions are not armoured, and it is not less than an hour to take Nanyang Mansion and break through the mansion? Less than 30 people were killed and wounded! ”

Zhang Ding said angrily: "You fart! ”

Luo Yonghao saw that several people were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly stopped: "Generals, generals, let's review the gains and losses." It's all my fault, it's all my fault. It was Luo who asked badly. As he spoke, he waved his hand to Guan Shengyun, who was about to have a seizure, "It's okay, handsome." Everyone, please listen to Luo's speech. Luo thought that the battle in Nanyang was the most dangerous, and he was still afraid. ”

Hearing what the military advisor said, all the generals were a little unconvinced, and Guo Qinglin muttered in a low voice: "The opponents here are all ordinary people, and the auxiliary battalion killed thirty or twenty thousand people in two days, and the last general didn't feel that it was very dangerous." ”

Luo Shifan glanced at his father, got an encouraging look, and then said: "Brother Guo is really beautiful. However, we are using arrows, and the dog officer was attacked by us before he could continue to send people. Otherwise, if it drags on for another two or three days, we may lose very badly, not to mention the soldiers, that is, our generals here, whether they can retreat with their whole body is a big problem. ”

The generals thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, but every time they beat the elite officers and even the royal guards to the point that they were almost defeated by the rabble of the people, this fact is still unacceptable. Gu Baihua was unconvinced: "That's not necessarily, right?" It's a big deal, don't divide the troops, come and take the lead, three battalions of Lao Gao, two battalions of Lao You, one battalion each of Lao Zhang and Lao Gong, the marshal's personal guard battalion plus the horse team, and tens of thousands of auxiliaries from a small country, I don't believe that I will lose to the people! ”

Luo Yonghao glanced at Gu Baihua and asked, "Then in your opinion, if you fight for another three days, how will the battle damage be?" ”

Gu Baihua glanced at his father-in-law, pondered for a moment and said, "The first day should be a great victory." On the second day, the boys will be a little tired, but they will also win a small victory. On the third day, the damage was almost equal. We're about three or four percent wounded, but there should have been more than seventy or eighty thousand beheadings by then......"

Luo Shifan smiled and continued to ask, "What if we fight for two more days?" ”

Gu Baihua puffed out his mouth, hesitated, and stopped talking.

Luo Yonghao said: "Fan'er is right. Ah Hua is right, we can indeed have seventy or eighty thousand beheadings, or even more. Well, 100,000, 150,000, is it enough? And then what? If we fight like that, we will fight all our own people, but we can hurt that dog official in the slightest? This Nanyang Mansion is not to mention hundreds of thousands of people, can we kill them all? ”

Gong Derun said: "The military master is right. We rebelled because we had no way to live, and we just wanted to live as a last resort, not to kill people. ”

Gao Tengdouqi said: "Master Strategist, the last general is a little confused. You said that we used to fight with the dog officers and soldiers, and it can be said that we won a battle in one battle, although sometimes we fought a little tricky, but in the end it was cut out with a knife and a shot, and those officers and soldiers were killed or wounded by one or two percent, and at most two or three percent fled in one go. But this Nanyang Mansion, we are dealing with the people! Why did they not know how to flee when they had killed so many people, but came to their deaths every day? Hearing the military master say this, the last general was really a little afraid. If it weren't for the clever plan of the young military division, I really can't imagine what would happen if it dragged on for a few more days. ”

You Futian, who was no longer staring at Zhang Ding's hat, was also a little puzzled, and then asked, "Master Strategist, why do you say this?" Just now I went to the small country to ask for arrows, and he said that he had almost used all of them. If we all encounter this kind of battle in the future, how should we fight? ”

Luo Yonghao lightly struck with both palms: "These questions are to the point!" The handsome asked Luo to find everyone, and this is what he wants to say! ”

The generals who were noisy just now suddenly quieted down, sat up straight on their chairs, and watched Luo Yonghao listen to him with wide eyes.

"Have you noticed a particularly strange thing: when the people attacked our army, they all looked like they were not afraid of death, no matter how many killings and wounds there were the day before, they still came up like a tide on the second day, and I heard General You and Ah Hua say that those people who gathered temporarily would also spontaneously attack the garrisons at the south gate and the east gate. However, when we take Nanyang Mansion, it seems that everyone is gone all of a sudden! Even the tens of thousands of people who went out of the city to fight with us did not come back to fight, and they scattered in a hurry when they saw us breaking the city from a distance, why is this? ”

Gong Derun said: "Capture the thief and capture the king first." They had no backbone, and fled. ”

"Exactly!" Luo Yonghao nodded, "In the past, we fought against the official army, and no matter how bad those people were, there was always a unified command system. For example, if one fruit is killed or injured by us, the others are afraid when they see it, a team is defeated by us two or three fruits, and others are also afraid, if a battalion is killed by us one or two infantry teams, other team officers and battalion officers will be afraid...... If you are afraid, you will flee, and if the official escapes, who will continue to die? So let's play all the way. And Nanyang is different here. The dog officials sat in the city peacefully, and the people were all gathered in villages and towns, and the units did not know each other at all, and there was no unified chain of command, just rushing up. People in the same village are often related, if you kill your son, your father will continue to fight with you, if you kill your brother, your brother will also want to fight with you. Unless you kill them all, or you're completely scared, they're just rushing in! When you kill all the people in one village, the people from another village will come again, and if you kill all the people in one village, the next one will just come over...... How can a government kill hundreds of thousands of people, let alone hundreds of thousands of people? ”

Guan Shengyun changed his posture in his seat and couldn't help asking, "That'...... According to what the military division said, if those dog officers do this in the future, won't we be dead? ”

Luo Yonghao smiled: "No." Luo estimates that it will be difficult for us to encounter similar situations in the future. However, we still have to make some preparations if the enemy is lenient. ”

Gu Baihua couldn't hold back when he heard this, and asked anxiously, "Abba, why not?" If a certain is a dog official, if you don't know it, it's okay, now that you know, don't you do it all the same? Sooner or later, our army will be exhausted! ”

Luo Yonghao shook his head: "They can't do it if they know." But there's no rush for this, let's talk about it slowly. Nanyang is not a place to stay for a long time, although a lot of gold and silver goods have been seized, but everyone has seen that the people's livelihood is withering, and there is only those grains. Gold and silver can't be eaten, we have to prepare to leave for Huguang immediately, there is the land of fish and rice, we can firmly stand on our feet. ”

Guan Shengyun said: "The military advisor is high! Not far away is Xiangyang Mansion, let's discuss first, how to fight Xiangyang. ”

Luo Yonghao smiled and shook his head slightly: "Luo Mou feels that there is no need to fight." ”

The generals' eyes widened, waiting for Luo Yonghao's next step. Unexpectedly, Luo Yonghao said four words softly in his mouth, like a thunderbolt, blowing everyone up.

"Let's surrender."

*Knowledge points in this article: Ancient pillows

In ancient times, Chinese people slept on very high hard pillows, mainly for several reasons.

The first is to keep your hairstyle up. Unlike today, the ancients could wash their hair and bathe every day, and they all had long hair, and there was no hair dryer, which was very inconvenient to tidy up. If it's a hard pillow, it can keep your hairstyle from falling out.

Secondly, there is an idiom "sit back and relax", and everyone believes in this.

Third, the ancient sanitary conditions were poor, there were many kinds of parasites, as the saying goes, "the emperor also has three lice", the bedding covered is really no way, the rich people's jade pillow porcelain pillow, the poor family's wooden pillow does not need to worry about the problem of parasite hiding.

There is also a small story: the famous minister Wang Anshi was extremely unkempt and sloppy, and once when the last dynasty played against Song Shenzong, a louse came out of his clothes and climbed up along his beard. Shenzong looked stupid and couldn't help but smile. After going down to the court, Wang Anshi asked Yu Yu why he was smiling, and Yu Yu told the truth. Wang Xiangye was embarrassed, and hurriedly asked someone to help him find out and pinch him to death...... Yuyu made it bad, saying that it can't be killed, this lice is not ordinary. Wang Xiang asked why, Yuyu replied: "'Repeatedly traveled, once the royal view'." How many lice in the world have such glory? ”

There are many small stories about Wang Xiangye's dirty, let's tell one first, and then I will talk about the others later. When he retired, he had a bed to be returned to the government (look at the civil service system of the Great Song Dynasty), and his wife, Wu, liked the bed and didn't want to return it. The little officials who came to move the bed didn't dare to do it, Wang Xiangye saw it, stepped on the bed a few times with his bare feet, rolled a few times, and his wife immediately said when he saw this: "I'm sick to death, hurry up and carry it away for me......"

Fourth, it is most suitable to make a safe. In the darkness without electric lights, a thief may steal the wooden box without knowing it, but if you put the deed, gold and silver in the hollow pillow, it is almost impossible not to wake you up.

According to legend, the name pillow was given by Cao Cao. said that one day in the middle of the night to read the military intelligence report, he was really sleepy, and Cao Cao fell asleep on his pillow before anyone had time to move the wooden box containing the military book. I slept peacefully this night, and I didn't have a headache, so the next day, I asked someone to make a wooden pillow and named it "pillow".
