Chapter five hundred and sixty fourth: the trail of the sinker
"Jin Yiwei! This is such a good name! Thank you, Master, for the name!" Ni Jin cupped his fists and saluted.
"After the formation of Jinyiwei, Ni Jin will be the governor-general of Jinyiwei!" Xiao Jian laughed loudly.
"Thank you, Master!" Ni Jin was even more grateful and didn't know what to say anymore.
Everyone chatted for a while. Ni Jin knew that Xiao Jianshu and Xu Wenruo still had something to talk about, and it was no longer meaningful for him to stay. Then he handed over his hands and said: "Young Master, your Majesty, I will tell you the good news."
Go to those brothers who have been through life and death, Ni Jin resigned first!"
Xu Wenruo nodded and said: "General Ni, you can tell this matter, but it must be done in secret, and you must tell them to keep it secret. If someone leaks the information before Jin Yiwei is established, Jin Yiwei will not take it as a trivial matter. Whether he is alive or not, but
Not even sure!”
Ni Jin nodded heavily and said: "Here! I will understand in the end!"
Xiao Jianshu said with a smile: "When you talk to them, be nice and don't scare these brothers. Also, go to the Military Resources Cao to get 10,000 yuan and give it to the brothers!"
"Here! Ni Jin thanked the young master on behalf of the brothers!" After Ni Jin finished speaking, he cupped his fists and turned around.
After Ni Jin left, Xu Wenruo laughed loudly, cupped his hands towards Xiao Jianshu and said: "Congratulations to the second master, congratulations to the second master, for getting a general and planning his own bodyguard!"
Xiao Jianshu hurriedly bowed and said: "How dare you take credit? If it weren't for Ling Jun's sharp eyesight and seeing that Ni Jin is a talent that can be made, how could I dare to use him? If I didn't use him, how could I have formed the Jin Yiwei?"
What’s your plan?”
Xu Wenruo then smiled lightly and said: "Don't take credit and stay humble. After the battle in Bacheng, the Second Young Master will definitely be transformed from now on!"
"Rely on sir's teachings!" Xiao Jianshu said respectfully.
Xu Wenruo then changed the subject and said, "How about it? How was the harvest when the young master went to rob the camp this time?"
Xiao Jianshu then said with a look of admiration: "Mr. Wen Ruo is really a great talent and he has many plans! At that time, you said that Liu Xuanhan himself should not be in his camp. I didn't quite believe it until I followed Mr.'s plan and took advantage of the opportunity.
In the dark night, I stole his camp, broke in with light cavalry, and attacked the Chinese army's tent. As expected, I found that the Chinese army's tent was empty, and everything inside was already covered with a thick layer of dust."
Hearing this, Xu Wenruo seemed to have expected it, and nodded lightly: "According to what the second young master said, the dust must not have been accumulated in just one or two days. Liu Xuanhan must have been gone for a long time!"
Xiao Jianshu nodded and said: "Yes, I suddenly rushed straight to Liu Xuanhan's tent and caught them off guard. When they found out, there was chaos. I took advantage of them to organize their troops to gather and captured a lone enemy.
After being pressed by the soldiers, they found out that Liu Xuanhan had been away for nearly ten days, and that the Liu banner was still hanging in the empty tent. This was the plan of a counselor under his command, a man named Yong Zhu."
When Xu Wenruo heard Yong Zhu's name, he raised his brows, put his hand on his forehead and said: "I thought it was an expert who made Liu Xuanhan's camp so well-organized and well-organized, but it turned out to be Yong Zhu. Alas.
, I was negligent, how could I forget this person?"
Xiao Jianshu heard this and asked, "Oh? Sir, do you know this person?"
Xu Wenruo nodded and said: "That was when I was young. I visited various places in the Jin Dynasty and visited celebrities from all over the country. I was fortunate enough to visit Yongzhu in Xizhou City. The Yong family is the most famous family in Xizhou and the first.
Chaebol, Xizhou
The Yong family monopolizes half of the money and food in a state. This Yong Zhu is the head of the Yong family chaebol. He is not strict with trivial matters, quite heroic, and spends money like water, making friends with the world's heroes. His talents, knowledge, and strategies are also famous in the world."
Xiao Jianshu nodded and said, "I thought he was just an ordinary counselor, but I didn't expect him to be so great!"
Xu Wenruo nodded and said: "Of the two Yong brothers, Yong Zhu ranks first. He also has a brother who is much younger than him, named Yong Fang. Although this man does not have the strategy of his brother, he is quite skilled with swords, horses, bows and stones.
, with a horse on his crotch and a sword in his palm, he can be considered a brave general."
Xiao Jianshu nodded and said: "It's a pity that the Yong brothers are so great, but they can't be used by us."
Xu Wenruo sighed and said: "When Liu Xuanhan escaped from Longtai and went to Xizhou, Xu Gongzu, the pastor of Xizhou, was dead, and the Yong family was well-known. Liu Xuanhan was able to sit firmly in Xizhou as a clan member of the Jin Dynasty, and even more powerful.
Take the Yong family for your own use... When the Prime Minister returns to Longtai, I will report this matter to him. If Liu Xuanhan just sits back and does nothing, I am afraid there will be trouble in the future."
"Sir, what you are thinking is very true, and I think so too," Xiao Jianshu nodded.
Xu Wenruo asked again: "Can you find out where Liu Xuanhan left the tent and went?"
Xiao Jianshu looked a little regretful, shook his head and said: "After capturing the enemy soldier, when we were about to ask more questions, Yong Zhu had already led a large army to surround them. We didn't dare to delay, so we charged for a while and got out of them.
camp, but unfortunately we have never been able to find out where Liu Xuanhan is."
Xu Wenruo nodded, looked at Xu Wei at the side calmly, and then said with deep meaning: "Xu Wei, tell me, where is Liu Xuanhan now?"
After Xu Wenruo said this, Xiao Jianshu also turned his attention to Xu Wei who was standing aside.
When Xu Wei heard this, he frowned slightly and began to ponder.
After a while, he stood up again and paced back and forth in the handsome hall. It wasn't until he had some thoughts in his mind that he cupped his hands towards his father and Xiao Jianshu and said, "Father, young master, as Xu Wei expected, it's true."
, Liu Xuanhan was already in Xizhou City at this time. He left Yong Zhu here just to spread suspicion."
Xu Wenruo didn't speak, but it could be seen from his expression that he was very satisfied with his son's answer.
Xiao Jianshu heard this, thought for a while, and then said: "Why is Mr. Xu so sure? Liu Xuanhan has already returned to Xizhou. Since he has returned to Xizhou City, why not withdraw his troops?"
Xu Wei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Second Young Master, you are several years older than me. Please don't call me Young Master again. If Young Master doesn't give up, how about Xu Yi boldly calling Young Master big brother?"
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, he was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "That's very good! Since this is the case, the eldest brother has doubts in his mind, so I hope he can clear up his doubts!"
Xiao Jianshu understood more clearly from Xu Wei's behavior and words that this was Xu Wei's show of goodwill to him, and Xu Wenruo's calculations were definitely inevitable behind this.
Xu Wei said hurriedly: "Brother is confused, so I will naturally try to explain it. In fact, it is easy to deduce where Liu Xuanhan went. Brother, do you still remember that when Ba City was besieged, my father wrote to Prime Minister Xiao in Jiuzhang
letter?"
Xiao Jianshu nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Xu Wei then said: "Later, the prime minister wrote back and informed us of the strategy on how to deal with Liu Xuanhan. I think it was the people from Qingyan Mountain who went to surround Xizhou City."
Xiao Jianshu listened carefully, but then wondered: "If it is true as my brother said, Xizhou was surrounded by Qingyan Mountain's troops, then why didn't Liu Xuanhan withdraw his troops? Not only could he not solve the problem by going back by himself, he would even have thrown himself into a trap.
!”
Xu Wei smiled faintly and said: "If Liu Xuanhan is really the only one who goes back, he is really throwing himself into a trap. Dare I ask my eldest brother, can you see that Zhang Dangyang when you sneak into the camp at night?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jianshu's eyes lit up and he said, "It's true that I haven't seen it! It turns out..."
Xu Wei shook his head again and said with a slight smile: "If only Zhang Dangyang had followed Liu Xuanhan, it would still be a matter of debate whether he could enter Xizhou City or not. Without him, Zhang Dangyang was brave and fierce, but
Don't understand the strategy at all
. But if one more person is added, and he leads Liu Xuanhan's bodyguard, and cooperates with the garrison inside and outside Xizhou City, and attacks the Qingyan Mountain troops in front and back, I dare to ask, sir, can Liu Xuanhan enter Xizhou City?"
Xiao Jianshu was startled and said: "One more person? Who is so great?"
"Guan Yunchong..." Xu Wei said this person's name word by word.
"It turns out it's him!" Xiao Jianshu exclaimed.
"Yes, even though Baicheng is besieged and letters are cut off, the Prime Minister's Shadow Division can still deliver news. The Shadow Division sent news not long ago. Young Master still remembers it. They said that Guan Yunchong has left the Prime Minister.
He rode alone out of Jiuzhang and went to Xizhou to join his sworn brother Liu Xuanhan.".??m
Xu Wei spoke unhurriedly, looking really calm and relaxed.
"Calculating the time, Guan Yunchong's crotch was filled with fire, clouds and frost. He traveled a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night. When he arrived in Xizhou, Liu Xuanhan should have almost arrived. With Guan Yunchang, plus Zhang Dangyang and
Those personal guards, people
Although the number is small, but the generals are brave and capable, the people from Qingyan Mountain are big thieves, and the looting is okay, but the siege is just a mob, how can they stop Liu Xuanhan from entering Xizhou City." Xu Wei continued eloquently.
.
"Yes! Yes!" Xiao Jianshu suddenly realized.
Xu Wei then smiled again and said: "Actually, Liu Xuanhan returned to Xizhou from the Bacheng camp because he had no choice. In fact, he didn't want to go back from the bottom of his heart. First, he sank Jizhou's army and horses and surrounded Ba
Once the city is defeated, Ba City's abundant supply of food, grass and military resources can rival that of the entire Xizhou. So he is determined to win Ba City. But he has to go back."
"Why? He is Xizhou Mu, so he can make a desperate move..."
Xu Wei said with a smile: "Although Liu Xuanhan is the pastor of Xizhou, where is Xizhou? First, Xizhou is the foundation of Liu Xuanhan. Liu Xuanhan has been running around for many years before he has a state. How can he give it up?
What? Two things
It is true that the pastor of Xizhou is Liu Xuanhan, but the real manipulator behind the scenes in Xizhou is the famous Yong family and other local clans affiliated with the Yong family. These clans have roots in Xizhou, not to mention that their children have been in Xizhou for several generations.
Traditional
Derivatively, each of their families is rich and has countless money and food. If the regular army comes to attack Xizhou, they don't have to worry too much. They will just change the name of the lord of Xizhou. But who are those people in Qingyan Mountain? Big thieves
! People who looted homes, raped and robbed people. If Xizhou is really captured by them, I am afraid that the big families will suffer first. Then it will not just be a simple matter of looting..."
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, he secretly admired Xu Wei's talents and nodded repeatedly.
Xu Wei added: "So, even if Xizhou City is far away from here, no matter how big the big clans in the city are, they may not be able to influence Liu Xuanhan, and Liu Xuanhan may not go back. But brother, please think about it, Liu Xuanhan's mastermind is from the Yong clan.
Lord Yongzhu, what would he do if he knew that Xizhou was besieged?"
"I expect that Yongzhu also wanted Liu Xuanhan to return to Xizhou as soon as possible. Therefore, even if Liu Xuanhan doesn't want to do it, he must go back to Xizhou... For this reason, I expect that Liu Xuanhan will now I'm in Xizhou!" Xu Wei said firmly.
"Exquisite! Meticulous! I admire you, brother!" Xiao Jianshu praised greatly.
"As for why the suspicion formation was set up, most of the troops were left behind and led by Yong Zhu, and Liu Xuanhan's flag was erected in the main tent of the camp. In fact, it was a helpless move. Although Liu Xuanhan had to go back, the situation Forced, he also has a reason to stay." Xu Wei said unhurriedly.
"I hope my brother will teach me..."
"First, Liu Xuanhan attacked our Ba city because he joined forces with Shen Jizhou. But he merged with Shen Jizhou's men midway and killed his general. According to Shen Jizhou's nature, how can he not be angry? But has the eldest brother ever Did you hear any of Shen Jizhou's reaction to this matter? It seems that Shen Jizhou didn't receive the news and chose to remain silent. Why? He must have reached a tacit understanding with Liu Xuanhan in private. I will attack Bacheng directly. Wait for me After the capture of Ba City, Shen held the lion's share of the money, food, ordnance, and they held the small share... Shen Jizhou was at war with the prime minister, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he definitely agreed. Therefore, Liu Xuanhan could not withdraw his troops. If he withdraws his troops, How can he deal with Shen Jizhou? How can Shen Jizhou tolerate him?" Xu Wei raised his head and glanced at Xiao Jianshu.
Xiao Jianshu's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but think about Xu Wei's words.
"Second, with the talents of Liu Xuanhan and Yong Zhu, it is impossible not to know that now is a good opportunity to attack Ba City. The prime minister devoted almost all his troops to fight Shen Jizhou. Ba City and Longtai are both empty. Once Liu Xuanhan captured After reaching Ba City, heading northwest, the troops can reach Longtai, Kyoto. Where the emperor is, doesn't Liu Xuanhan have any ideas? Heading southeast, he can attack the prime minister from both sides with Shen Jizhou. However, once Liu Xuanhan retreats, how can this golden opportunity be saved? What more?"
Xu Wei looked at Xiao Jianshu with a smile and said: "At this point, brother, do you understand?"
Xiao Jianshu realized this and nodded: "So, Xizhou has to go back, and Bacheng has to besieged. Liu Xuanhan can only return, leaving Yongzhu and the main force behind to encircle and attack less, and wait until Xizhou is over. Liu Xuanhan returns to Bacheng...it is indeed a good plan to hide the truth!"
"Haha, although the plan was good, it still couldn't escape my father's eyes. It was also because of my eldest brother's bravery and fearlessness of life and death that he robbed his camp and their plan came to nothing!" Xu Wei laughed loudly.
At this moment, Xiao Jianshu admired Xu Yi's talent beyond measure. He suddenly held his hand and said, "Brother, you are a great talent. If I succeed, I will be my brother's mastermind!"
Xu Wei bowed and said: "I insist on my wish, but I dare not ask for your ear!"
