On the second floor of the restaurant, several tables of people drank and talked.

The situation outside the window just now, as if it was just an episode, this common people have no news channels, no more than officials, and they don't know about the military disaster in the south.

However, the students and Confucian scholars were very interested in the military situation, and they had just written down the military strategy in the township examination yesterday, and they were immersed in the pleasure of pointing to the southwest and making decisions for thousands of miles.

"It shouldn't be a swamp man, the swamp man has long been subdued by Song Jiedu, and he has lost his temper......

"I guess that the military situation is very likely to be related, the Fanren are fighting with the imperial army for Longyou, dividing a small group of men and horses, harassing Jiannan, it is not surprising at all, it is the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. ”

"That's right, I mentioned a point of view in the military strategy yesterday, which is called holding still, that is, no matter how the enemy fights, I just don't move, consuming the opponent's liliang, anyway, I have a lot of resources, and a few dead people are nothing. ”

"Yes, Brother Fang, I don't know what your opinion is when you ask?"

......

"Brother Qiu, you are also a famous talent, I don't know what the military strategy is?"

Listening to the talk at the adjacent table, Zhang Zhen and the others did not react, but the Confucian scholars who talked about the rise of the conversation asked from afar.

At this time, Confucian scholars had gathered on the second floor, and it was inevitable that there would be comparisons between them.

"Brother Qiu, since someone asked, you might as well talk about your own ideas, my statement of 'diligent in martial arts', there are still many flaws, you should listen and think more, in order to slowly improve, to be honest, I have always been interested in the way of generals. Fang Ziyan also made a curious look.

Qiu Yan shook his head and was about to refuse, but the words did not come out. It was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Wow!wow!

The sound of footsteps, heavy and low, on the stairs, had the feeling of a storm, and when you heard it, you knew that it was not from ordinary steps.

Then, I saw three soldiers walking up, dressed in brave uniforms and thick-skinned military boots, with a look of anxiety on their faces.

As soon as the three soldiers walked up, the entire second floor was silent.

Then. I saw the soldier at the head clasp his fists and asked, "I don't know who Qiu Yan and Qiu Gongzi are?" ”

As soon as he said this, many people on the quiet second floor subconsciously turned their heads to look at Qiu Yan.

Seeing this scene, the three soldiers immediately knew the reason and hurriedly stepped forward.

Observing that Liu Jing had just received two more military intelligence reports, but many officials in the hall were helpless after half a conversation, so he had no choice but to send someone to find Qiu Yan. Ask in.

There were quite a few people who were sent out, and the three soldiers were just one of them, and they patrolled the streets, and after getting the news. I rushed to the restaurant.

"This is Qiu Gongzi, right?"

The soldiers followed the gazes of others, walked to Qiu Yan's table, and saluted with fists.

"I am Qiu Yan, you are looking for me. I don't know what's going on?" Qiu Yan got up and saluted back.

"Young Master Qiu, the matter is urgent, please follow me to the mansion. It is an observation that makes adults want to see you, and the specific situation is inconvenient to disclose. With that, the leading soldier glanced around.

Qiu Yan squinted his eyes, he had already guessed the reason, he didn't say more, he explained a few words to Zhang Zhen and the others, and then went downstairs with the soldiers.

After Qiu Yan walked for a while, Zhang Zhen and Zhou Guan came back to their senses, looked at each other a few times, and saw a trace of doubt and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Around, many Confucian scholars also recovered from silence.

"Observer, that's the head of the herdsmen of our Jiannan Side!"

"Why did the Observer look for that Qiu Yan?"

"Does this Qiu Yan still have a friendship with the observer?"

......

All beings talk and discuss.

And Fang Ziyan's eyes were beating with jealousy, and then he smiled coldly and said: "Qiu Yan is really incredible, even the observation makes the adults look at him differently, this person must be nine out of ten." ”

These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other Confucian scholars.

"This makes sense, I heard that this Qiu Yandao tried to take the case, but there was something greasy in it. ”

"This person has a lot of friendship with the prefect of Yuanning, and he sent a picture of words before the exam. ”

"I heard that the son of the observation envoy is also taking the exam this year, and he returned to Jingxiang's hometown a few days ago, and the son of the observation envoy has a friend who says that his calligraphy attainments are extraordinary!"

......

"This Fang Ziyan really has bad intentions. ”

When Zhang Zhen and the others heard these words, they became more and more dissatisfied, and Luo Jiayun wanted to stand up and theorize, but was stopped by Zhou Guan.

"Brother Qiu is not here, it is inconvenient for me to come out, otherwise I will be used by that party, the reason why he said this is to provoke you and me to come forward, and I can't be tricked, in my opinion, it is better to leave here first, and think about it in the long run." ”

Zhang Zhen also said: "Brother Zhou Xian is reasonable, but Fang Ziyan is smart, and even dares to arrange the rumors of the observation envoy, and there will always be times when he regrets it." At this, he laughed evilly, not knowing what to do.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them got up to settle the bill, turned around and left, which made Fang Ziyan regret for a while, but immediately disappeared and talked and laughed with others.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a dark blue shirt to walk upstairs and walk straight to Fang Ziyan.

As soon as Fang Ziyan saw this person, he immediately got up and greeted him, and said slightly respectfully: "It turned out to be Mr. Li, Mr. Li is here, I don't know what is going on?"

Fang Ziyan knew this person, this person was a diner in Li Qi's mansion in the imperial history, and he had seen it when he visited Li Qi's mansion.

Fang Ziyan intends to defect to the New Party and has contact with Pan Xiang, but he mainly follows the line of Li Qi, Li Qi is a serious Jinshi background, and Pan Xiang is only recommended by others, no matter how you look at it, the prospects are not as good as Li Qi.

As soon as Mr. Li came, he asked Fang Ziyan to follow him to a corner of the building, and then said, "I came to pass on the words of my master." ”

"Oh, is it Lord Li who has something to say to me?"

As soon as Fang Ziyan heard this, he immediately came to his senses, Li Qi was still grading papers, it was difficult to leave the Tribute Academy, it was definitely not easy to pass on the word, but he deliberately let people come to find him, which showed that he paid attention to it, and of course he was happy.

It's just that Mr. Li's subsequent words made Fang Ziyan's complexion change suddenly, and it turned cloudy-

"My lord asked me to tell you, all the schemes against Qiu Yan have stopped, this person has great talents, instead of suppressing it, it is better to win it over, you can try to make friends with this person. ”

"What? Lord Yushi actually wants to let Qiu Yan go?" Fang Ziyan's face was puzzled.

Seeing this, Mr. Li smiled and said earnestly: "Young Master Fang, I know your thoughts, but how can there be unsolvable hatred in the world? Some talents are high, and others are envious, but if they can be co-opted and become their right-hand man, it is better than becoming an enemy, right? In the future, officialdom does not have to be life and death, besides, you and that Qiu Sheng do not have a deep hatred, please think about it......"

Fang Ziyan shook his head: "This is too ridiculous, Qiu Yan and Ma Yang are close, once they step into the officialdom, they will immediately be an obstacle, and they need to be strangled before they become climates!"

Mr. Li shook his head and just said, "I'm just talking, and you still have your own ideas for the rest." The words fell, and he left.

..................

On the other side, Qiu Yan went to the center of Jiannan City with his soldiers, entered the yamen, and arrived at the lobby.

There were soldiers everywhere in the government and they were heavily guarded.

In the hall, all the officials looked at this scholar, and they all looked a little suspicious, but when they thought of the military strategy just now, they didn't dare to despise it.

"Student Qiu Yan, I've met all the adults. Qiu Yan did not show the slightest timidity, and raised his hand to salute.

The list of township exams has not yet been announced, he is just a showman, but he has merit and fame, and he does not need to be humble in front of officials.

"You are Qiu Yan?"

Liu Jing looked at the young scholar in front of him, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and couldn't help but have a good impression: "It's just right to come, with your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess, the reason why you are here, ......right?

As he spoke, he picked up the military strategy on the table beside him and asked, "I just discussed it, and I still don't understand how to use this soldier." ”

The staff next to him immediately stepped forward and said: "Just mobilizing the soldiers, in terms of troops and combat power, it seems that it is not enough to fight against the swamps, compared to it, maybe we should concentrate our forces and annihilate the enemy in one go......"

Qiu Yan was not verbose, and after giving his hand, he first listened to Liu Jing's staff describe the situation roughly, and then said: "The officers and soldiers are newly defeated, their morale is low, and their hearts are unstable, so they are not suitable for fighting hard with the enemy, but the swamp people seem to have a lot of soldiers, but in fact they are internally unstable, and the tribes guess each other, and they divide the troops into two ways, one of which is used as bait, our army can use this as a breakthrough point, and the two sides of the army can be used as a breakthrough to suppress and appease the ......."

Qiu Yan talked eloquently, the movements of the swamp people, Qiu Yan can be understood through the deity, and the Fan people rely on the inner demons to spy on, as for the fat letter, although he led the troops alone, he has always been in contact with the Fan people, so that he has also revealed traces and can be indirectly grasped by Qiu Yan.

Soldiers say, know themselves and know their opponents, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Now, although Qiu Yan is hindered by his identity and cannot control the situation, he has a lot of information, and he can make full use of the information asymmetry, so as to take the lead strategically.

The internal contradictions of the swamp people, the strength and purpose of the Fan people, and even the location of the fat letter are all in Qiu Yan's grasp, just to avoid suspicion, it is still necessary to say it in an analytical and speculative tone, but from shallow to deep, the description is clear.

The surrounding officials had doubts at first, and then couldn't help nodding.

About a cup of tea later, Liu Jing affirmed what Qiu Yan said: "The method you said is more secure, you might as well write a marching instruction." ”

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan said: "After all, the students are not familiar with Darui Military Town, they are all on paper, this march and battle, it is still necessary to let Song Jiedu make such a general make a decision." When he said this, he vaguely meant to advise Liu Jing not to interfere in command.

Liu Jing was silent, and Zuihou smiled: "Okay! Since this is the case, this official will convey your words to the envoy of Song Jiedu." ”

When the words fell, he ordered people to go down, and soon a Taoist priest came outside the lobby, with a wide robe and a handsome face, as soon as he walked in, he saluted calmly, and Zuihou looked at Qiu Yan.

"Poor Dao Jingquanzi, I have seen Qiu Gongzi. (To be continued......)
