107 The Yellow Flag Enters Luojing He Xiang (3)
"Okay! OK! OK!" Li Zicheng slapped the armrest of the seat hard and laughed furiously: "One or two will betray us! You'll be defeated by this piece! Come on! Go and grab Qiu Zhitao, Li Zhensheng and chop it down!"
A wax ball was found on the spy, which was a secret letter written by Sun Chuanting to Qiu Zhitao. He agreed with him that when the army was in front of the battle, he would spread rumors that Zuo Liangyu's army was advancing Xiangyang. In this way, the morale of the treacherous army would be defeated and it would be difficult to resist the fierce attack of the Qin soldiers.
It is indeed a good strategy to attack the city and take into account the attacking heart, but who would have thought that the clever messenger would be caught by the patrol and the horses.
Not only were they arrested, they didn't even have time to destroy the wax balls. Anyone who pinched the wax balls could see such a simple, direct and clear tactical deployment.
"Master, wait!" Gu Junen, who had not spoken, finally spoke. He looked at Li Zicheng who was extremely angry and said softly: "Master, this matter can be found in detail."
Li Zicheng covered his blind eyes with one hand, squinted his remaining good eyes, and said hatefully: "Well, treat them both like their own family, they actually let me down! It is hard to relieve my hatred if I don't kill them!" He remembered his past cultivation of pottery like he treated his own nephews, and also remembered that he endured humiliation and said "big brother" to greet Li Zhensheng, and felt that the hatred became stronger and stronger, and the veins on his hands were about to burst.
"Marson," Gu Junen chuckled softly, "How could he know that this was not a trick of Sun Thief using a knife to kill people?"
"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Li Zicheng calmed down slightly: "What's the benefit of killing such two people?"
Seeing that Li Zicheng had returned to his former calmness, Gu Junen smiled and said, "The Marshal has forgotten why he appointed Qiu Zhitao as the Minister of Military Affairs and Government?"
Li Zicheng then recalled: "Because he is a high-ranking official in Beijing, the gentlemen all said that letting him be a minister can win people's hearts."
"That's right," Gu Junen's face darkened, "Now all government ministers are all surrendered officials of the Zhu Dynasty. Yu Shangyou was a Jinshi in Xinwei. He served as a supervisor in the Zhu Dynasty. Xiao Yingkun was in charge of the household government, and was a Jinshi in Bingchen. He was once a magistrate! Yang Yongyu, the assistant minister of the Li Government, was a doctor of the imperial court in the Zhu Dynasty. Others engaged in government affairs, prefectures, defense envoys, and at least were all juren and students of the Zhu Dynasty... If the marshal killed Qiu Zhitao, it would undoubtedly make these people sigh with grief."
Only then did Li Zicheng regret that he had appointed so many scholars from the Zhu family. But when he looked back, although these people made him a little unhappy, he actually did many things that the reckless man Tian Weng could not do. With them, it seemed that he could find samples of various systems. He just needed to do it with him. He saved a lot of effort and did it, and the results were not bad.
——It’s like wearing clothes that are not dry. Although it’s not good to wear, it’s even colder if you take them off.
Li Zicheng said in his heart that he looked at Gu Junen. But Gu Junen's resume flashed through his mind: Zhong Xiang used to be a tribute student, but now he is engaged in the official government.
In fact, with Gu Junen's talent, it was easy to replace Yu Shangyou as the Minister, but Gu Junen advised him in an orderly manner with his seniority and not to greed for temporary profit and destroy the fundamentals of the system, so he sent someone to work.
"The best method Zhu Chao used was to sow discord. He instigated Cao Cao (Luo Rucai) to rebel against us on the same day, and later he disagreed with our relationship with Xiying. This time, if he said he was killing someone with a knife, it would be nothing surprising." The strong man bearded said in a muffled voice.
Gu Junen stepped forward and said, "Marson. General Quan is right. If he falls into the trick of Sun Thief, the morale of our camp will probably be more turbulent."
"What if they are really traitors!" Li Zicheng glared.
"If you do evil deeds more, you will die," Gu Junen said. "When their evil plot is exposed, they will naturally be able to understand the justice and reassure those who surrender. They will also shock those who accomplices."
Song Xiance actually admired Gu Junen for being generous and upright in his view of things, and always able to achieve his goals with dignified means. However, as both strategists, once the lord is trusting, the others can only rely on him and become a trick of doing odd jobs. His mind quickly turned around and suddenly came to his mind.
"Marson," Song Xiance stepped forward and said, "The students have a plan. Not only can they try to find out whether these two people are really internal support, but they can also take advantage of the plan."
"Let me tell me." Li Zicheng sat on the chair, his voice returning to the thick and coldness of the past.
"We can send this secret letter to Qiu Zhitao, pretending to be ignorant, and ask him about Zuo Liangyu's movements. If he was really a spy in the inner circle, he would say that the left thief was moving towards Xiangyang. The marshal pretended to be frightened and said that he would withdraw his troops in advance so that he could send a message to Sun thief and lure Sun thief to attack me in a hurry. At that time, our army could set up an ambush in front, and then General Liu would go to Funiu Mountain to occupy Ruzhou and cut off their food route."
Gu Junen frowned and was displeased when he heard this. The counselors offered suggestions, and they should be step by step, linked together. If they followed his plan, the next step would naturally be to test Qiu Zhitao, and immediately approached the plan and lured the enemy into depth. These were all things under his control. Although Li Zicheng could see some of the outlines, the credit was his own. Song Xiance stepped forward to make it clear, which was purely a move to seize the credit.
——All villain!
Gu Junen looked unrestrained and cursed in his heart.
"Where is Mr. Niu?" Li Zicheng turned to Niu Jinxing.
"Marson," Niu Jinxing said, "The students thought General Liu and his two gentlemen were justified, and internal affairs should be slowed down and external affairs should be decided immediately."
Li Zicheng took a deep breath: "Then let Sun Thief live for two more days. Zongmin, you will take Zhongquan's personal army to Funiu Mountain and defeat Ruzhou!"
The strong man beard bowed to his promise, which was Li Zicheng's left and right hands, Liu Zongmin, the general who broke into the camp!
Among Li Zicheng's official ranks, General Quan had the highest status. There were only two people in the camp, one was Liu Zongmin and the other was Tian Jianxiu. Tian Jianxiu was generous and could win the hearts of the people, so he was responsible for admiring the camp. Liu Zongmin was good at fighting and led the most elite troops in the camp, Zhongquan Private Army.
This Li Zicheng's personal guard army is now about to enter Funiu Mountain and cut off Sun Chuanting's food route.
...
"What does the Qin Governor say?" Zhu Cixuan heard someone shouting military newspaper outside the tent in the middle of the night, and quickly put on his clothes and stood up.
Tian Cunshan hurriedly stepped forward to support the prince, put on his boots for Zhu Cilang, and prepared to wear it. He had been unable to bear such a difficult life since the first day of his expedition. He missed the comfort of Beijing and was filled with complex emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred for Liu Ruoyu.
Because Liu Ruoyu was old, he did not follow the battle this time, but was only responsible for staying in the East Palace.
"Your Highness, the Qin Governor has not yet been copied." The detective Ma Lu was determined: "The military supervisor Su Jing submitted a copy and asked your highness to take a look."
Tian Cunshan hurriedly wanted to take the Qibian, but he was slower than Zhu Cixuan. Zhu Cixuan stepped forward and copied the Qibian and then read it. Tian Cunshan had to go over and light the candlelight, hold the lamp slave in his hand and approach the prince, so that the light was slightly more abundant.
Su Jing's Qiben said clearly: This is a copy of the memorial. He said that his views have been reported to the emperor and the important ministers of the Shujiao, and there is a judgment on right and wrong, and His Royal Highness does not necessarily have to agree and approve it.
This attitude is naturally unpleasant, but Zhu Cilang is not as lacking in experience as outsiders have seen. In his previous life, he had received letters with sharper words, some of which were even full of curses and personal attacks. In comparison, Su Jing's attitude was far from the point that made him angry.
As long as a person learns to control his emotions and prevents his likes and dislikes from controlling decisions, even a talented person will not do too stupid things. Zhu Cilang glanced over the nonsense in front of him and focused on Su Jing's judgment of the current situation.
Obviously, Su Jing did not agree with the Ministry of War's conservative judgment on "strengthening the walls and clearing the field, luring the enemy into the depths", nor did he believe in the prince's concerns about the food routes in the rear. He insisted that it was a brave official army, and Sun Chuanting was famous and had a deterrent effect on the trespasses.
Zhu Cilang could understand that after all, Su Jing would sit in this position of military supervisor because of his enterprising spirit. If he changed to a conservative military supervisor and cooperated with the Qin governor Sun Chuanting, who also tended to be conservative, he would probably be at the stage of fighting verbal battles in Xi'an at this moment.
From this point of view, Emperor Chongzhen was really very cognitive and useful.
Zhu Cixuan closed the book and sat in front of the book desk in the middle of the tent. He stroked the map that he had looked at hundreds of times with his eyes. Tian Cunshan tiptoed to put the lamp slave on the book desk, and lowered his voice and persuaded: "Your Highness, it's late at night, it hurts your eyesight."
Zhu Cilang did not look up, and his hands scattered the cloak that was draped on his body, saying, "I ordered the commander to go to Baofeng again, please ask Sun Chuanting to write a book, or go to Ruzhou by himself. Then I sent the commander of the Central Army to make meals tomorrow, and to set off the camps until dawn. I must arrive at Ruzhou before dark. Let Xiao Mo be faster, don't let me catch up!"
