Four hundred and ninetieth octopus, bait and fisherman
Li Deming had never doubted Gu Lepu's loyalty, nor did he believe that the information he had gathered would be wrong or omitted. There was no way such a big thing could be false, but in fact it was far beyond his imagination.
"Ye An, the Marquis of Yunzhong County? That's quite interesting, but that Ye An who fought with the Liao envoys in Jingfu Square and killed a Khitan warrior in the middle of the dispute?"
"Exactly this person!"
"Interesting! Interesting! Let's tell you what you saw and heard. This young man is too special. He has already heard that spies from Tokyo City have come to report that Ye An is a young and promising man. He contributed good seeds to the Song Dynasty and was awarded the title of Marquis of Kaiguo.
A bachelor of the official family of the Song Dynasty... It is unheard of that a sixteen-year-old boy can be the emperor's teacher! I never thought that he could use soldiers... Although it is weird, I have to believe it!"
Li Deming stretched out his hand to lift up the bone on the ground, patted his shoulder and handed him a cup of tea. He never hesitated to show kindness to his favorite soldier.
But recalling what he had seen and heard, the hand holding the tea cup could not help but tremble. Especially when he watched the young man fighting beside Shiliang Ferry, the shock in his heart could not help but surge out.
"Gu Lepou, aren't you scared by a Han doll? Are the eagles on my grassland only as courageous as grass rats?!" The soldiers around Li Deming saw his appearance and immediately sneered.
Voice.
Li Deming's expression finally turned serious. He understood that Gu Lepou, a person who could make him feel frightened when he recalled it, must not be an ordinary person. It seemed that he had underestimated the young and stature of the comfort deputy.
"In the battle of Pingyuan Village, the Western Qiangzi tribe occupied the city fortress of Pingyuan Village and planned to defend the city. Unexpectedly, the Anhua army actually had weapons to attack the city. Fireballs fell from the sky like big stars and fell into the wild. They shook the ground and houses fell down.
The house collapsed. The fire spread. It is said that the water will not extinguish it. It moved along the water and ignited countless houses and forage! Zihebu had no choice but to break through the gap..."
"Stupid... Breaking through the gap is seeking death! Shiliang Crossing must be the most dangerous place for the Western Qiang people!"
Gu Lai looked at Li Deming with admiration and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Shiliang Crossing is at the gap, and the Xiqiang people led their troops out. Unexpectedly, the ravines on the ground are crisscrossed, and they are all horse traps with embedded thorns. Zihe's troops suffered losses.
Tragic! When they were halfway across Shiliang Ferry, Ye An came forward wearing armor and wielding a sword. The Song army was so fierce that they were not afraid of death, but Zihe's troops defeated them..."
"The right time, right place, right people, and the right conditions were used. Did you really lead the army for that young man?"
Li Deming's doubts are also everyone's doubts. The adviser beside Li Deming, Weming Zhihai, frowned and said: "How can a teenager in his teens have such a plan? Could it be that Cao Yi is leading the army?"
Gu Lepou shook his head slightly: "It's not Cao Yi. I went to Fangqu Town to find out that the Anhua Army respected Ye An and called him Commander Ye. The battle at Pingyuan Village has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone has heard about his military skills.
wonderful!"
For a while, the small tent fell into silence. Everyone had an expression of disbelief, even Li Deming. After a long time, he sighed: "The Song Dynasty was the first year of the Han Dynasty. There are always talented people coming to the world. God bless them."
Chang! However, it is not a good move for a civil servant to lead an army. This son will definitely suffer many misfortunes in the future!"
"Where is Mubo Town? Someone came forward to report that Mubo Town was besieged by the Baima Tribe. Could it be that he, Ye An, led the army to rescue the siege?"
Gu Lai nodded with a pout: "My subordinates and Jitou Mountain were able to get a glimpse of the whole situation. The Anhua army advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and the orders were passed down clearly. In the past, the army in the army faced the enemy, and the cavalry was attacked on the flanks. When the Baima cavalry was all gone, we used
The cavalry skimmed the formation but failed to attack, constantly harassing the enemy's flanks... It is said that he was in the middle of the army and slashed the white horse Rising Sun with his face unchanged!"
"This boy really has some tricks up his sleeve, and he also knows the Han family's majestic army and the old wisdom of the Zhengzheng Banner. Although Baima Xuri has many soldiers and armors, he is a man who is greedy for pleasure and is not strong enough to fight against the Anhua army commanded by Ye An.
...It’s just that this Yunzhong Lord is so bold that he actually dares to behead White Horse Xuri, and now he is in a fight to the death with the White Horse Tribe.”
Weiming Zhihai's words made Li Deming feel a little more relaxed. What he was most worried about was that the Song Dynasty would quickly quell the chaos in Huanzhou. Recently, after hearing that the Song Dynasty sent important ministers to appease Huanzhou, the Xiqiang people already had some plans.
They have found a way out, but how can I let them have a way out after planning so hard for so long?!
Now the White Horse Department must fight to the death with Ye An and even the entire Song Dynasty. Isn't this a God-given opportunity?
Li Deming believed that the Song Dynasty was like a big fish, and the Xiqiang people were the most suitable bait. As for himself as a fisherman, Li Deming had already made plans in his mind on how to use the Xiqiang people to get rid of the "big fish".
The biggest advantage of pretending to be a merchant from the Western Regions is that it can deceive others. Except for Li Deming in the tent who looked at the busy slaves from the Western Regions in front of him and smiled, no one would have thought that he, a king of Great Xia, would leave the Western Regions and come to Huanzhou when the war in the Western Regions is in full swing.
On the other side, no one knew that Dangxiang's army had begun to secretly withdraw from the Western Regions and mobilize them.
My goal has never been the land of Huanzhou, but the two states of Gansu and Liang!
It's time to remove the nails that the Song Dynasty had nailed to Dangxiang's land. As for Huanzhou, which was surrounded by Dingbian Army, Qingzhou and Zhenrong Army on three sides, it was better for the Xiqiang people to create chaos.
As long as the Huanzhou Rebellion lasts for one day, it will consume Song's power in the northwest, and it will also clear the way for Dangxiang's army to capture the two states of Gansu and Liang.
Yunzhong Junhou, who is both civil and military? So what!
Weiming Zhihai stood next to Li Deming and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you want to order the armies of the Western Regions to attack again in order to confuse the enemy?"
Looking at the somewhat reserved Wei Ming Zhihai, Li Deming smiled: "My brother, why are you afraid of me? How many years have we been born and died? You should believe me. As long as I, Li Deming, am still alive, your family will be honored.
They are always the great clan of my party!"
Seeing Wei Ming Zhihai's face full of gratitude, Li Deming patted him on the shoulder and said: "As for the countries in the Western Regions, they are only small areas. Attacking at this time may not be very good. Instead, they should be allowed to recharge their batteries and learn more from them."
The best strategy for the Song Dynasty is to make money. Once the two states of Ganliang and Gansu are captured, won’t the entire Western Region be in the pocket of our party? The worthless cattle and sheep will have to be slaughtered for meat!”
If Ye An were here, he would definitely snap his fingers and say: "What a coincidence, I think so too!"
Fishing requires superb skills and long-lasting patience, both of which are indispensable. However, under the sparkling and even charming sleep, it is not necessarily a poor fish, but sometimes a real "predator" lurks.
There are too many stories about fishermen being eaten by fish, but these warnings are often ignored by ordinary people. The relationship between fishermen and fish may change in a very short period of time, but when the fisherman discovers it, it is too late.
, he had been pulled into the water by the ferocious "piranha" and swallowed all his juices in an instant!
