Volume 7: Ma Ming Feng Xiao Xiao, the young man is raising his sword, Chapter 474: Secret Confrontation
Xu Youzhi was wondering, but Xiao Yuanche said with a smile on his face: "Haha, today is a coincidence, Baiyi, come in quickly, I'm going to leave you!"
The curtain cage was raised, and a young man in white walked slowly in. He smiled lightly at Xiao Yuanche and said, "My lord, am I here at the right time?"
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly and said: "No sooner than later, come sit down and talk!"
Xu Youzhi looked at this person and saw that he was in his thirties, with a fair complexion, bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and he was naturally charming.
Wearing a plain white gown, white clothes are better than snow.
But for some reason, Xu Youzhi had a vague feeling that this person seemed to be in poor health. Although his eyes were bright, there was some cyan in the eye circles, and the whole person looked extremely thin and thin.
Not only that, he also discovered that this person had a thicker cloak in his hand, and he thought he was wearing it while walking.
Now that spring has turned into summer, it is still a bit hot even at night, but he came wearing a cloak.
In addition, Xu Youzhi felt that this person looked very familiar, as if he had seen him many years ago and couldn't remember where he was.
Guo Baiyi sat down naturally. As soon as he sat down, he frowned slightly and coughed twice.
Xiao Yuanche hurriedly said with concern: "Your body is a lot worse. Please drink some hot tea and relax for a while."
Guo Baiyi thanked him, drank a few sips of tea, and then said: "It doesn't matter, I know how my health is. I miss you..."
Xiao Yuanche nodded and said: "You have to take care, Mr. Su..."
Su Ling cupped his hands and said, "What are your orders, Prime Minister?"
Xiao Yuanche said sternly: "After this battle is over and we return to Longtai, I will give the sacrificial wine a holiday, and you can take good care of him..."
Su Ling nodded and suddenly said with a smile: "I can take care of his body, but the Prime Minister has to ask him if he is willing to take care of his concubine. Otherwise, I will make up for it here, and he will have diarrhea over there.
There is no point in staring..."
Guo Baiyi's old face turned red, and he laughed and said: "There is a saying that if you die under peonies, you can be a ghost and be charming... Su Ling, you don't understand, you don't understand..."
As he said that, Guo Baiyi stood up first, raised his hands towards Xu Youzhi, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Xu, we said goodbye more than ten years ago. Do you still remember me?"
Xu Youzhi hurriedly raised his hands in return. After thinking for a while, he could only say apologetically: "You look familiar... I thought I had seen you before, but I just couldn't remember it for the moment. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Guo Baiyi smiled and said calmly: "It seems that Sir is a noble man who forgets things a lot. Let me just mention that thirteen years ago, the world was talking about Taoism at Xuanyuan Terrace in Mount Liyou!"
When Xu Youzhi heard this, he immediately remembered who the person in front of him was. He put his hand on his forehead and suddenly said: "Oh! So you are Guo Baiyi, brother Guo! When I met him more than ten years ago, I admired him so much that I have admired him for a long time.
! I can’t wait to make friends with you, it’s really a regret in my life!”
Guo Baiyi laughed loudly and said: "In those days, Mount Liyou issued a post on Taoism, recruiting talented people from all over the world to go to Xuanyuan Terrace of Mount Liyou to discuss Taoism in the world. The saint Xuanyuan Guigu personally examined the teachings. He was really the best in the world.
A first-class grand event. At that time, the world's talented people gathered together to discuss Taoism and major world affairs. Mr. Xu's performance still makes Baiyi yearn for him to this day!"
Xu Youzhi quickly waved his hand and said: "Brother Guo is joking. I was only young and energetic at the time, and said some nonsense... Now it seems that it was just out of emotion, but Brother Guo's argument was more pragmatic, so it's no wonder that he was defeated.
The talented man in the world has won the favor of the old sage from Xuanyuan Ghost Valley, and being able to listen to his sermons face to face for an hour is really enviable to others!"
Guo Baiyi smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said: "So what? I tried my best to become a disciple of Liyou, but no matter what, I couldn't get into the eyes of his old man in Xuanyuan Ghost Valley. I just listened to the sermon for an hour.
, I still feel regretful..."
Xu Youzhi also lamented over and over again, shaking his head and saying: "Old Saint Xuanyuan's meritorious deeds are astounding and beautiful. He is truly one of the gods..."
Unexpectedly, Guo Baiyi shook his head and sighed: "The two of us tried hard to get into Liyou's sect, but we couldn't do it. But now there is a disciple of Liyou beside my lord, how can we not make people envious and jealous!"
When Xu Youzhi heard this, his expression changed, and he said with a look of respect: "Oh? Brother Guo, who is this person? You can't wait to meet him right away..."
Su Ling snickered in his heart, but he was happy that Guo Baiyi praised him like this, but he knew that this Xu Youzhi was not a master who could be easily convinced. Letting him know his true identity would be of no harm to him.
Guo Baiyi laughed loudly, pointed at Su Ling, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, how come you don't know that disciple Li You is far away in the sky but right in front of you? It's Su Ling, Su Changshi!"
Xu Youzhi was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly, took two steps back, and with a solemn expression of admiration, he bowed towards Su Ling and said: "It turns out that Su Changshi is a disciple of the old saint Xuanyuan. Forgive Xu for his blindness!
It’s really disrespectful! How disrespectful!”
Su Ling laughed loudly, stood up quickly and returned the courtesy: "Mr. Xu, there is no need to be too modest. I am young and far behind in terms of experience. It is just a false name. When Mr. Xu was in Bohai, he was known to the world for his cleverness.
Mr. Xu needs to give you a few more tips in the future!"
At this time, Xu Youzhi could no longer describe his admiration for Su Ling, he was simply astonished.
With such a status - a disciple of Liyou Pavilion, a person who can be counted on ten fingers in the world, he is still so humble.
Not only that, this man is truly a genius. If it weren't for him, the three Xiao Yuanche would have also failed.
What's even more amazing is that he is so young!
"The waves in front push back the waves in Jingjiang. In this world, new people replace old ones! Su Changshi's future is limitless! Limitless!"
Xu Youzhi couldn't help but admired.
Su Ling laughed loudly and said: "This is all nonsense. Originally, Mr. Xu and I were our own masters. Now we work together to protect the Prime Minister, and we must take care of each other in the future!"
Xiao Yuanche squinted his eyes and watched the conversation of the three wise men in front of him with a smile, and understood the intentions of Guo Baiyi and Su Ling.
From his conversation with Xu Youzhi just now, he could feel that Xu Youzhi was easy and difficult to control, so he was happy that his right-hand man put some pressure on Xu Youzhi.
The four of them sat down again and drank some tea for a while. Fang changed the subject and got to the main topic.
Xiao Yuanche said with a solemn expression: "Excuse me, I have just given you the allegation. Now the grain and grass from outside cannot be transported in. There are only two days of grain left in Old Zhang. Shen Jizhou's army is besieging the city and is watching with eager eyes. Our army wants to have something.
There are only two days left to survive, break the situation, and even completely defeat Shen Jizhou... If we can't do it within two days, the big thing is over!"
Xu Youzhi nodded, with a confident look on his face, and said loudly: "My Lord, I have no worries, I have a plan that can immediately replenish our army's food and grass. Not only that, it can also cause Shen Jizhou's formation to be thrown into chaos, and his army will be defeated like a mountain!"
After he said this, there was a trace of satisfaction and pride in his eyes.
Suddenly thinking of the two people sitting in front of him, one was favored by Xuanyuan Guigu, and the other was directly accepted as a disciple. He hurriedly restrained himself, cupped his hands and said: "Of course, this is what you have thought about yourself, and you are somewhat sure, but There is no room for error in the situation of our army, and I ask you both to tell me if you think there is anything wrong or imperfect in my suggestions!"
Guo Baiyi and Su Ling looked at each other, smiled faintly, and nodded.
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly and said: "Everyone is here for victory, so just tell us everything you know!"
Xu Youzhi then raised his hand and said: "Actually, it is very simple to solve the problem of our army's lack of food. Our army has no food, and it is impossible to raise it in a short time. But we can borrow food from someone!"
Xiao Yuanche said in surprise: "Borrow food? From whom? There is no food in Nanzhang. We can only borrow food from Longtai or Bacheng, but there..."
Xu Youzhi looked at Su Ling and then at Guo Baiyi, as if he wanted to test their talents, and said with a smile: "Who can I borrow food from? I would like to hear your opinions!"
Su Ling and Guo Baiyi didn't know what Xu Youzhi meant. They also knew exactly what Xu Youzhi said about borrowing grain.
However, Guo Baiyi's position today is that of a green leaf. He wants to set off Su Ling's talents. He knows that in the future, the only one who will play the leading role next to Xiao Yuanche is Su Ling.
It's not that I can't do it, it's just that my body won't allow it to happen in the future.
Guo Baiyi sighed, calmed down and said, "Mr. Xu, this has troubled me. Baiyi really doesn't know. Su Ling, what do you think?"
When Xu Youzhi heard what Guo Baiyi said, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Who is this person in front of him? Guo Baiyi, known as the divine conspirator in white, is Xiao Yuanche's number one conspirator. He is also confused at times!
Haha, this is a victory. I promise you that with this great achievement, Xiao Yuanche, how can you be so patient with me!
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Su Ling, as if he was watching a show.
Su Ling understood Guo Baiyi's good intentions and naturally could not let him down.
Su Ling sneered in her heart, Xu Youzhi, Xu Youzhi, you really don't know how to behave, how long have you been here? And you are so arrogant? As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local coward, but you are good, but you want to make Guo Baiyi suffer.
Lao Guo doesn't want to treat you like a child. Otherwise, if he sells you, you will have to count the money for him.
Not only did you want to make things difficult for Lao Guo, but you also brought me along with you. How could I show weakness?
I have the secret tip given by Luo Dahuang, I'm afraid you won't succeed!
Thinking of this, Su Ling laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this? Can't we just borrow food from Shen Jizhou? He has a lot of food and can't finish it. Let us use it. I don't think he will disagree... .. .”
"You are talking crazy again! If Shen Jizhou is not crazy or stupid, he wants to lend us food? He wants to devour us as military rations. How can he lend us food..." Xiao Yuanche glared at Su Ling , not in a good mood.
Su Ling laughed and pointed at Xu Youzhi: "Prime Minister, that was in the past. In the past, if we borrowed food from him, it would only be a delusion. But now that Mr. Xu is here, relying on Mr. Xu's friendship with Shen Jizhou, we can borrow food from him." A thousand pounds of food and grass is nothing to worry about..."
When Xu Youzhi heard this, he waved his hands and said, "Su Changshi is joking. If I were so easy to use, I wouldn't tolerate Shen Jizhou..."
Su Ling laughed loudly and said to himself, I'm trying to kill you, I can't even hear it.
"I was just joking, but you can really borrow food from Shen Jizhou, and there is a high probability that you will be able to borrow it!" Su Ling's expression became serious.
"Oh? Su Ling, tell me in detail quickly!" Xiao Yuanche said eagerly.
Xu Youzhi also lost his complacent expression at this time and looked at Su Ling thoughtfully.
Su Ling stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, do you still remember that I said before that Shen Jizhou's army is much larger than ours. If we transport food from Bohai City to the front line, the front line will be too long. , if there is an accident on the way, the morale of the entire army will inevitably fluctuate. So at that time, the boy boldly guessed that Shen Jizhou was located around the camp where he was stationed, with a radius of no more than 200 miles at most, and there must be a place for him to store food, and, This grain storage place is most likely a city."
Xu Youzhi suddenly interjected: "May I ask Su Changshi, why do you conclude that Shen Jizhou's grain harvesting land is only about two hundred miles in radius?"
Su Ling smiled and said: "It's simple. Although Shen Jizhou has a large number of troops, he still has no absolute confidence in defeating the Prime Minister. Moreover, at the beginning of the battle between the two sides, he was defeated by the Prime Minister. If it weren't for his rich family background, he could gather a large army in a short time. I am afraid that the army has been defeated long ago. Therefore, after the last failure, Shen Jizhou must be cautious this time. If the land for storing grain is more than 200 miles away, it is too far away, and it will not be easy to transport grain to his camp. Secondly, once the land where grain is stored changes, it will not be easy to rescue."
"What about something closer, such as within a hundred miles?" Xiao Yuanche asked.
"Within a hundred miles, it is too close to the battlefield. On the one hand, it is not conducive to hiding the food area. If we find out the information, he will definitely devote his energy to the food area to defend it; secondly, if it is a frontal battlefield, If you are defeated, the situation of defeat will not be conducive to gathering the defeated troops for a hundred miles. Therefore, for all the reasons mentioned above, I boldly guess that this grain storage place must be a secret place within two hundred miles." Su Ling talked eloquently. , said in high spirits.
"What a clever plan!" Xu Youzhi praised him with his first blow.
"Su Changshi is really a talented man. His words are comprehensive and impeccable..." Xu Youzhi praised repeatedly.
Xiao Yuanche nodded, but still said regretfully: "However, even if we calculate that his grain farm is within a radius of 200 miles, there is Zhangshui River here, and there are high mountains blocking it, plus Shen Jizhou's army besieging the city. It is impossible for us to send a large force to search the net..."
Su Ling laughed loudly and said: "Don't be like this, it's too troublesome. The Prime Minister doesn't know where Shen Jizhou's food station is, and neither do I nor the big brother in white. However, there is someone who knows about Shen Jizhou right now." As long as he explains where the grain garrison is, the prime minister will send a general to kill the garrison there and bring the grain back, then Shen Jizhou will lend us the grain in vain and we will return it. No need to pay it back..."
After saying that, Su Ling looked at Xu Youzhi, grinned and said, "Isn't that right, Mr. Xu?"
