"The river has swollen, making it impossible to sail. But the trees can float in the water, and we can go down the river to Puyi in less than a day. We tied the letter for help to the floating wood and made some obvious marks.
Can you send the letter asking for help?"
Xin revealed his plan again.
Sending letters on driftwood was also a method Xin You learned from some historical materials of later generations.
When the ambitious Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped at Yanmen Pass, he used this method to issue an edict and bring in reinforcements.
"this……"
After everyone heard this, they started talking about it.
The doctor in this city is not crazy, but he is really thinking of a solution.
Fan Mi felt his scalp numb. He had never seen or heard of such a method of sending a message!
"Sending messages on driftwood..."
People in the country began to think about whether this method was feasible or not.
"Qingshui follows Xinyi to the east, and there is a large and gentle bay. The river flows very slowly there. It is right next to Puyi. With so many driftwood rushing down together, people in Puyi will definitely be able to see it.
"
A young man with a sallow complexion and a huge head clapped his hands and praised him, and instantly understood what he was thinking.
"That's right, as long as you mark the driftwood, it's impossible for anyone who sees the driftwood not to salvage it!"
"The Rong people have not deployed troops along the river. They will not find these driftwood!"
"The gentleman's method is absolutely feasible!"
"As long as the letter can be sent quietly, the Rong people will have to retreat after the reinforcements arrive!"
Some astute Chinese people have already followed Xin You's ideas and thought of a solution.
Fan Mi, Xin Jin and Yin Rong remained silent.
Xin Wu looked left and right, not knowing what to do.
"This gentleman's approach is indeed a good one, but we still have to listen to other people's thoughts..."
Xin Wuzuo didn't dare to offend anyone, but he wanted to express his position quickly. He scratched his head anxiously and could only say something that was not painful or itchy.
"Doctor Yi's method is feasible."
Fan Mi suddenly spoke.
Everyone was shocked. Situ just gave up?
Even Fan Mi's son Fan Boyu didn't expect that his father would agree with Xin You's statement, and hurriedly reminded: "Dad, you didn't make it clear..."
"I say, Doctor Yi's method is feasible!" Fan Mi had a look of pain on his face, but his tone was very sure: "At this moment, this is the only way to quietly call for reinforcements to help us in Xinyi get out of trouble.
!”
I saw that Fan Mi's face was ashen, and he obviously made a lot of determination to say these words.
Although Fan Mi was domineering, he was also upright, which made Xin have a slight liking for him.
Xin added: "Situ has such high regard, no wonder the Fan family is thriving."
"I've always been willing to admit defeat, but I can't do it anymore, Situ!"
Fan Mi thought that Xin was deliberately provoking him, and was trembling with anger.
Originally, today he wanted to hold the imperial seal and issue orders like an imperial official, but now he couldn't even keep his position as Situ.
Accident!
This is really a surprise!
Fan Mi's blood surged. He never expected that he would fall into Xin You's hands today.
Is this still the cowardly and incompetent Xin You?
Could it be that he has been hiding his clumsiness for so many years?
But with such a clever plan, why not come up with it earlier?
"Dad! You can't hand over this position of Situ!"
Fan Boyu once again reminded his father not to act out of emotion.
Unexpectedly, Fan Mi slapped Fan Boyu in the face in anger.
"I, the Fan family, am a descendant of Fanzi, how can I be dishonest in my words? The position of Situ will not let me lose the reputation of the Fan family!"
Fan Mi became even more angry when he saw his spineless son.
"Okay!" Xin You clapped his hands and said, "Master Situ is indeed a former pawn in Liu Gong's chariot. He is indeed one of the first-class people in Xinyi."
Xin Yi walked to Situ Fanmi with a smile.
"But Situ doesn't have to be so impulsive. When reinforcements arrive, the bet has not yet been completed. The messengers are all from these trees, how can he be a Situ? I think this Situ should be left to the head of the Fan clan. I don't know.
What do you think?"
Having lived in two lifetimes, Xin You naturally understands the principle of giving a jujube a slap in the face.
The Fan family is powerful, now is not the time to have a stalemate with them.
After all, even if Fan Mi steps down, the next Sima will definitely be selected from the Fan family, which is meaningless.
It is most cost-effective to sell Fan Mi a face, give him a step up, and let Fan Mi owe him a favor.
Hearing Xin You's words, Fan Boyu smiled widely and thanked Xin You repeatedly.
Fan Mi sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Fan is not as good as a gentleman!"
How could Fan Mi, who also had a far-sighted vision, not know Xin You's plan?
It would be fine if he could really stop being Situ, he could still deal with Xin You secretly.
But now Xin You generously allowed him to stay in his post. If he openly dealt with Xin You again in the future, he would definitely be reviled by the people of the country.
Without the support of the people, it is like a floating tree on the water, and its foundation is unstable.
"Hey, today's battle was completely lost." Fan Mi thought to himself: "Why does this boy Xin seem to be a different person?"
Xin You, who originally thought he could play with her, now played a cruel trick on him. Fan Mi was dissatisfied, but had nothing to say.
"Situ, let's hurry up and write a letter first."
Xin said again.
Fan Mi lost, but he was willing to admit defeat, so he quickly summoned Fan's people and started cutting down trees.
Yin Rong also summoned the Yin family to help them work together.
Only the Xin clan members stood there motionless, as if waiting for some order.
"Uncle, can we start?"
Xin also knew that these people of the Xin family were waiting for Xin Jin's order.
Xin Jin thought for a while before nodding in agreement.
When Xin Wuzuo saw Xin Jin's agreement, he shouted loudly: "People of the Xin clan, take charge of the forest in that area and make letters according to the gentleman's requirements!"
Seeing this scene, Xin felt a hint of gloom in his heart.
Although Fan Mi and Yin Rong both have ambitions, they are foreigners after all, and their titles are not high. It is actually difficult to compete with the Xin family.
Xin's internal problems are the biggest problem.
Although their branch is the direct eldest brother, it is also the largest clan in the clan.
But both the population and the land were far inferior to the small sect represented by Xin Jin.
If the big sect is destroyed, the smaller sect will naturally inherit the big sect's position.
"This old uncle is the real obstacle..." Xin You thought to himself: "But at the moment, there is Fan outside, and Yin Hu is eyeing him. Xin Jin will still stand with Da Zong for the time being. He is afraid that these three guys will unite.
That’s the big trouble.”
Xin You also knows a little about the art of controlling his subordinates.
Pull one faction away, fight another faction, be good at using contradictions within the organization, unite all forces that can be united, and figure out who is our enemy and who is our friend...
Xin looked at the tribesmen who were working in front of him and began to carefully analyze the work behind them.
By delivering messages on driftwood, Xin could regain some reputation, but this was far from enough.
The core problem is that his own strength is too weak.
He has no brothers and sisters, and neither does his father.
Xin Wuzuo, the one he was closest to, was basically a faggot and could be betrayed at any time.
The candidates Xin wanted to unite fell on those small families.
At this moment, the big-headed boy who was the first to understand Xin You's intention came over.
"By the way, gentleman, there is one last thing I want to pay attention to."
"Are you talking about the time it takes for the driftwood to be lowered into the water?"
Xin You said casually.
"Yes! It turns out that the gentleman has thought of it a long time ago!" This chapter has been completed!
