The asking price of 1144 is too high

Li Jing said: "The widow feels that this is an opportunity, but it requires some sacrifices. Congjia, let's talk about the ideas we discussed. Lord Liu and Daoist Wuyazi don't know our plan yet. ”

Li Jing and his entourage were not present when they were discussing, Li Jing asked Huangfu Jixun to find Liu Renzhen first, and then discussed with everyone, and by the way, he was one step later to eavesdrop on Liu Renzhen's opinion. Li Jing asked Huangfu Jixun to do some other things first, so Huangfu Jixun would be late.

Li Jing deliberately went to find Wuyazi on the way to Liu's mansion, and then the group talked as they walked, but they only mentioned this matter, and did not talk about the results of their discussion. So Wu Yazi didn't know what Li Jing was thinking.

"Yes~!" Li Congjia said: "Now that the spring rain has begun to fall, the navy has already been assembled, and it is only necessary to wait for the river to rise and dispatch immediately." As Lord Liu said, it will take half a month. It will take at least two or three days for the Zhou army to evacuate, but ...... If the pontoon bridge on the Huai River is damaged, it will take several days to repair the pontoon. If we can destroy the three new pontoon bridges of the Great Zhou at the right time, then there is a great chance to trap the Zhou army east of the Huai River, and when our army cuts off the Huai River, it will be the end of the Zhou army. ”

The more Li Congjia spoke, the more excited he became, as if the opportunity was right in front of him, as long as he acted according to his plan, he would definitely be able to defeat the Zhou army.

However, this plan is really good, although it requires some luck elements, but as long as the pontoon bridge of the Zhou army is destroyed, then it will take several days to build the pontoon bridge, when the spring rain is falling, the river is turbulent, and it may not be able to be built in a few days.

As long as the Southern Tang naval army took control of the Huai River valley, the Zhou army would be trapped east of the Huai River, and even if they wanted to jump into the Huai River and swim to the other side, they would die in vain. The navy army almost didn't need to attack, as long as the Zhou army was trapped, there were ways to kill them.

This time, the Zhou army came with nearly 200,000 soldiers, and if all these 200,000 soldiers were killed or captured, the Great Zhou army would fall into an unprecedented crisis. At that time, there is no need to prepare anything at all, and it is not a problem to attack Xuzhou directly, and it is not a problem to drive all the way into Bianliang City.

"This plan is feasible!" Liu Renzhen said excitedly: "Your Majesty is indeed a genius in the world, although there is still half a month to go, as long as the pontoon bridge is destroyed, the retreat of the Zhou army can be delayed." Just wait for the navy to control the Huai River, and they can take down the Zhou army in one fell swoop, and may even capture Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others. ”

Hearing that Liu Renzhen agreed with this plan so much, Li Jing was very happy, this defender who only knew how to defend but not to attack agreed with this plan, which was naturally very subtle and easy to understand.

"Of course, this plan is absolutely feasible. Li Jing said excitedly: "But it does take some luck, just to see when the Zhou army withdraws." Before they withdraw their troops, destroy the pontoon bridge, hopefully until the navy arrives. ”

"Father, in fact, we can also destroy the newly built pontoon bridge of the Zhou army, as well as the progress of their construction of the pontoon bridge. For example, a lot of driftwood is thrown upstream, and the impact of driftwood down the water is very strong, and if it hits the soldiers of the Zhou army, a piece of driftwood can kill several people. ”

"Makes sense. Li Jing turned to look at Wuyazi at the back of the team, and then said confidently: "Daoist Wuyazi, what do you think of this plan?"

"Silence is golden, last year I collected money, so give some advice, this year I confiscated money, so I don't speak. I'm a person who doesn't recognize money and doesn't recognize people, so you can treat me as if I don't exist. Wu Yazi said: "As the saying goes, a word is a thousand gold, I have a lot of nonsense, a small opinion may become a long speech, and the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty will be emptied by me at that time." ”

Despise, everyone despises this shameless Taoist priest. A worldly master actually recognizes money but not people, this kind of thing has never been heard of.

However, the people present also knew how high Wu Yazi's fees were, just one time as a guard received a thousand taels of gold, and when a staff officer received another ten thousand taels of gold, how much money did the prime minister pay a year? Although Wu Yazi was much more useful than the prime minister, Li Jing was not a fool, and he did not waste so much money.

Originally, the money for the construction of the Shouzhou fortifications was also advanced in advance, but now that the salt tax revenue is even less, how can Li Jing still have so much money? It's not that he can't afford it, but he can save it.

In this case, there is no need to ask for the opinion of Wu Yazi, anyway, Shouzhou is indestructible, and now it is just an experimental attack, if it succeeds, it can completely change the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty, from passive to active.

Even if it fails, it doesn't matter, it's just that a force is sent to destroy the pontoon bridge, and defeat is only a loss of troops.

So this time they don't need the opinion of Wu Yazi, they can make up their own minds. After all, Wu Yazi is just an outsider no matter what he says, Li Jing is the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, of course he doesn't need to ask for other people's opinions, but he can listen to a few sentences when he needs to.

"It's too expensive...... "As an emperor, it's hard for Li Jing to say what is too expensive. But he can't afford to pay for Wu Yazi's 'one word of gold'.

Ordinary people are fine, but there is too much nonsense in Wuyazi. Originally, a few words could be expressed, and sometimes he needed a long time to explain and brew. There is no way, the two things that Wu Yazi likes to do the most are talking and hitting people, which he knows when he has been in contact with many times.

Li Congjia said: "There is nothing expensive or not, you can say okay if you don't have a long life, but it still doesn't work." One word, or two words, we can still afford this money. ”

"Are you sure you want to pay for it? ”

"I can afford it, but you can only say yes or no. "Li Congjia is the only person in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty who knows the identity of Wu Yazi, and of course he will not pay his bills. What's more, Li Congjia knows very well that Wuyazi is easy to mess with, and his master Zongxin is really hard to mess with. Don't look at Shouzhou's current defense is so strong, but it is only for mortals, if you let Zong Xin attack the city, it will not be difficult.

Of course, this time Li Congjia deliberately wanted to show off his wits in front of Wu Yazi, and finally seized this opportunity to annihilate the entire Great Zhou army in one fell swoop.

"No, I can't. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard Wu Yazi say no, this perfect plan was clearly feasible, even if it failed, there was nothing to lose, but if it succeeded, it would completely change the tide of the war. Why does Wu Yazi say no?

"Daoist Wuyanzi, whether this plan fails or succeeds, it will have no impact on us, why do you say no?" Li Congjia didn't believe his words, at least not at this time.

He thought that Wu Yazi was the king of the Great Zhou Qi, and this plan did have a chance of success, so Wu Yazi was a little scared. In order to get people to cancel this idea, that's why he said 'no' and dispel this idea in this way.

But this is absolutely impossible, because the project has a very small cost and a great success rate. Success is an opportunity to turn the tide of battle.

Wu Yazi said: "Because 'line' is one word, and 'no' is two words, of course I have to earn an extra thousand taels of gold." It's not difficult for me to explain, it's a lot of money. ”

"You're a bandit?"

"How can a bandit make so much money? I'm much better than a bandit. "Wu Yazi's face is shameless, no one can do anything about him.

If it was more than a year ago, Li Congjia still had the confidence to beat him, but now Li Congjia really doesn't have the confidence to win, and it's just martial arts. Li Congjia knew that Wu Yazi had inherited that strange knife from his master, and this knife was almost incomprehensible.

If the two fight, Li Congjia and Huangfu Jixun should be able to kill Wuyazi safely and without injury, but if they fight alone, even if their martial arts are slightly higher than him, they may not be able to guarantee a complete victory, not to mention the knife facing him, as long as a small mistake will be killed.

Of course, Li Congjia didn't want to fight with Wuyazi, not to mention that he was just a little shameless, which was still bearable.

Wu Yazi's casual 'no' really made many people care, and Li Jing and Li Hongji still trust this greedy and shameless Taoist priest very much. But neither of them understood why Wu Yazi would say 'no'. How good is this plan?

However, since Wu Yazi has already said a thousand words, of course it is impossible to continue to ask, after all, he promised that he would not dare not give his money, but if he was asked to explain this problem clearly, the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty would be emptied by him.

Li Hongji has seen the power of Xiaoyaozi with his own eyes, even if the current Wuyazi is impossible to subvert the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, as long as he is willing to call the master...... Not to mention the current defense power of Shouzhou, I am afraid that the entire Southern Tang Dynasty will be completely destroyed by their master and apprentice.

That being said, such a good plan is not something that can be abandoned with just two words.

Li Congjia said: "It's okay, it's okay, he just wants to make an extra thousand taels of gold, so he said no." We don't have to look at his opinion...... Count me cheap, wasting so much money for two words. Daoist Wuyazi, you better stop talking, naturally someone will send money to your house. ”

Of course, Wu Yazi didn't speak, how could a genius be willing to discuss with a group of fools? Since Tianya met Li Hongji, he had never discussed a certain matter, and it was usually Tianya who guided these people to do things. But this time they came up with it themselves.

Obviously, in fact, this method is very good, and it is not easy for ordinary people like Li Congjia to come up with this method. But...... They don't know who their opponents are.

"Father, the son thinks that what the Taoist Commander of the Boundless Son said makes sense. ”

"What's the point?"

"I don't know. Li Hongji trusts Wu Yazi very much, although he doesn't know the reason, he knows that what Wu Yazi said is the truth, and Wu Yazi has not said a wrong word so far.
