Fortunately, Wang Ling probably has no prejudice against people who come from Cao Shuang's house. Wang Ling is still willing to listen to Qin Liang's opinion.
I heard that Sima Yi and Wang Ling had a good personal relationship. Sima Yi seemed to get along very well with the gentry in Bingzhou, Hedong (Shanxi), but Wang Ling should not be Sima Yi's. As the nephew of Wang Yun, the early leader of the gentry in Hedong, Wang Ling's
His network of contacts was so vast that no one in the Wei Dynasty could match him. In his heart, he couldn't stand Sima Yi's argument.
Guo Huai, the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Yongzhou, was Wang Ling's brother-in-law, and his son-in-law was Jia Chong, the Marquis of Yangliting. Wang Chang, the general of Zhennan and the governor of Xuzhou, was Wang Ling's eldest son. He had known Wang Ling as his brother since he was a child.
.There is also Jiang Ji, the boss of the Forbidden Army and the leading general, who is also Wang Ling’s good brother for a long time.
It can be said that Wang Ling has friends all over the world. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, who are in charge of the power of the court, can only win over each other with smiles. However, Qin Liang vaguely remembers that Wang Ling's end seems to be tragic? History has once again proved that hedging his bets is a fool.
, it is not 100% safe, even for a big shot with a solid foundation like Wang Ling.
However, Qin Liang secretly analyzed through the common sense information he collected in the officialdom and found that although Wang Ling had good relations with both parties, he might be more inclined toward Cao Shuang than Sima Yi.
Qin Liang has his own reasons.
For example, Wang Ling's nephew Linghuyu has just become the long history of Cao Shuang's house. Wang Ling also served as an official in Qingzhou. Wang Ji is completely Wang Ling's confidant. Last year, Sima Yi recruited Wang Ji.
Ji didn't go, but recently I heard that he was going to Cao Shuang Mansion to work as a lieutenant.
In addition, Cao Shuang took the initiative to win over many people. For example, he wanted to ask Wei Zhen to be the minister, and even proposed marriage to Wei Zhen's family for his younger brother, but was resolutely rejected. When Cao Shuang wooed Wang Ling and wanted to confer the title of General Zhengdong,
Wang Ling readily accepted the kindness...
So although Wang Ling didn't pay much attention to Qin Liang's statement, he still listened to his words patiently.
Qin Liang was also very knowledgeable and tried to keep his words as brief as possible. He did not go into details, but analyzed Sun Wu's motives for attacking Wei in detail.
However, Qin Liang repeated some of the remarks he had made to Sun Li before in front of Wang Ling. The new king of Wei was young and had opportunities to take advantage of him.
After saying this, Qin Liang looked back and boldly emphasized a more specific hypothesis, "I think that Sun Wu's attack time is most likely to be this autumn. If our army can predict the opportunity in advance and make early preparations, we can have an attack."
If you are prepared and unprepared, this battle will definitely give you a unilateral crushing advantage over Sun Wu's army."
Wang Ling asked: "Does Qin join the army with concrete evidence?"
Qin Liang said: "Hefei New City. The new city has moved away from Shishui. The place where the new city is today is not close to water, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is obviously a preset battlefield for our army. Please enter the urn. The new city is small and strong.
Wu Jun's forceful attack consumes troops, but does not bring much benefit. Therefore, it is best for Wu Jun to directly plot Shouchun. If Shouchun is obtained, the situation in Huainan will change. Wu Jun's strategic benefits will be great. "
He paused for a moment and then continued, "Every autumn, there will be continuous heavy rains in Huainan, and the river water will rise sharply. At that time, the canals with fertile water can be navigable. Wu Jun can use this time window to transport troops with boat divisions |
For food, we will directly attack Shouchun. I guess there will be war in autumn."
Qin Liang talked on the phone, but Wang Ling still didn't express his position. This can't be entirely blamed on Wang Ling. It's all speculation, how can it be completely reliable?
Even Qin Liang himself was just taking a gamble. Anyway, if he made a wrong bet, there wouldn't be much serious consequences. At worst, those celebrities would comment that Qin Zhongming was not good at planning. If he was not good at planning, he would not be good at planning, and he would not lose a piece of meat. People involved in wars
It’s impossible not to bet. What if the bet is right?
Wang Ling tilted his head, and Wang Guang, who was kneeling next to him, whispered: "There's no harm in preparing before autumn."
At this time, Wang Ling thought for a while and finally said: "Qin Jun's words are reasonable. At that time, I summoned the garrison guards to prepare for war if there is anything. If there is nothing, train."
Qin Liang praised: "Ming Gong is wise!"
With the result, everyone stopped talking about Wu Jun's attack. After all, even if Qin Liang was right, it would be half a year later. Wang Ling began to talk to Sun Li about Luoyang, and then talked about anecdotes.
People chatted happily. As the governor of Yangzhou, Sun Li had to look up to others in Shouchun, but he didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction. He still chatted and laughed with Wang Ling. So Qin Liang felt that Sun Li sometimes spoke very straightforwardly, but he was not a difficult person.
People to get along with.
Soon it was time for lunch, and it was a feast of wine and meat.
However, compared with the scene in later generations where the table was filled with dozens of dishes at every turn, the banquet at this time was just like that. Each person was divided into three or four dishes, which was nothing more than roasted or stewed meat. There were many rivers in Yangzhou, and there were also
There is a dish with dipping sauce for raw fish, as well as soup with vegetables and fish.
During the dinner, Wang Ling said politely: "Yangzhou is a troubled place and there are no songs and dances to add to the fun. Please forgive Deda and others. The drinking is not lively and a bit boring."
Sun Li raised his glass and said, "Where is it? Thanks to the governor, I served you with fine wine, fish and meat. It's very sumptuous."
Qin Liang didn't get involved in their business exchanges, and he didn't say much after the banquet started. Except when he wanted to really do something, like when he made suggestions just now, Qin Liang usually kept a low profile.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guang, a bearded man with a beard, said: "I heard that Zhongming is good at poetry and poetry. This scene, above the pavilion, the scenery is just right, and the seats are full of friends. Why don't Zhongming appreciate his face, compose a poem, and sing one?"
Qin Liang carefully observed Wang Guang and felt that Wang Guang was just giving him face and had no ill intentions. Moreover, Wang Guang had helped and persuaded his father just now, and he seemed to have a good impression of Qin Liang.
Qin Liang was willing to give face to others. But he was completely unprepared. He was asked to compose a poem out of the blue and copied... No, which one is better? He can indeed compose poems and limericks, but how easy is it to compose a good poem?
Are you going to drink? It doesn’t seem to match today’s situation. Qin Liang just drank a lot of wine, and his head was a little dizzy for a while. He didn’t think of which song to “compose”.
When others saw that he was silent, they thought he was developing a literary talent, so several people looked at him. Especially Wang Guang, who had an expectant look on his face. People couldn't bear to shirk his good intentions.
Qin Liang suddenly had a thought in his mind, and he remembered "Sauvignon Blanc", which he had changed the music score when he was in Luoyang. Of course, Qin Liang didn't know the Tang Dynasty music score of this Yuefu poem. But he used ancient Yuefu music to accompany Luoyang folk songs.
The tune was slightly changed, and I was originally going to wait for Chao Yun to come and perform it with her. But Chao Yun never showed up, and the music was never put to use.
Qin Liang reached into his arms and took out a piece of cloth that had been in the bag for a long time. There was a simple musical notation on it. He stood up and said: "I have a Yuefu song that can be played for you. I need a piano, a piano."
A sword and a man playing a harp."
Wang Guang cupped his hands and said, "I know the music well. If Zhong Ming doesn't mind, I would like to play it for you."
After saying this, Wang Guang walked down, talked quietly with Qin Liang for a while, and then ordered people to get the piano and sword.
After some preparations, as time dragged on, the guests who had just looked at him began to toast and talk to each other again. Qin Liang raised a sword, glanced at the scene in the attic, and then looked at the gray sky outside the window.
, then he looked at Wang Guang, who was kneeling next to him, and nodded slightly.
Wang Guang gently waved his hand and flicked the strings outwards, which immediately produced a very pleasant sound. With just one sound of strings, Wang Guang was not only familiar with it, but at least proficient. The priority of playing the piano still tested his basic skills.
Qin Liang acted like he was drunk, slowly waved his sword, and sang: "Sauve Acacia, in Luo'an. The autumn cries of Luo Wei and Jin Jinglan."
At this point in his singing, his movements were gentle, and the tune didn't fluctuate much, but even to Qin Liang's taste as a modern person, the song sounded pretty good.
The next line, "The light frost is desolate and the mat is cold," begins to change the order of high and low. When the song reaches "The solitary lamp...not...bright...thinking, desire, and despair", the tone keeps rising from low to high, until the word "明" is reached.
At this time, the scheduling gradually decreased. The last word was very low but powerful, as if it was the depth of emotion.
Wang Guang's piano also played very well, and the rhythm of each stroke of the piano was almost completely synchronized with the lyrics, which heightened the emotional intensity of the last three words. Each word seemed to penetrate the wall and pierce the sky.
In fact, it is very difficult to coordinate the sound of the piano in this sentence because the rhythm changes are relatively complicated. Previously, Qin Lang planned to play the piano by himself and Chaoyun sang the lyrics. At that time, he was also a little afraid that he would make mistakes on the spot.
However, this bearded Wang Guang seemed to have a tacit understanding with Qin Liang's ideas, and they were able to fit in perfectly at once. Qin Liang was really surprised by the level of playing the piano played by such a black-bearded and ruthless man.
(Sure enough, the lyrics of the ancient Yuefu-based music should be sung with the pronunciation of this time. The pronunciation of the languages in this era is still very different. For example, the pronunciation of "WEI" is a bit like each other (wei is still pronounced Wei), "Qi"
It's a bit like Che, and "desire" is a bit like yo. The most different thing is that some characters have more than one syllable, such as "bu", which is similar to "puwo". Fortunately, there are Chinese characters that don't change much. Otherwise, there would be two thousand
People of later generations may not quite understand what the people of the Wei Dynasty are saying.)
Soon even Wang Ling, who was in charge, also got involved. He put his hand on his left forehead and lowered his head as if he was secretly feeling sad.
The guests in the room all had sad expressions, and some of them were already looking towards the northwest toward the capital. Many of the princes here have their families serving as hostages in Luoyang, and the higher the status, the more hostages they have to give away.
Some people even started sobbing. Qin Liang and Wang Guang only played a few lines, which shows the depth of emotion in the ancient music.
The people who were chatting and laughing just now seemed to have returned to the capital of the Wei Dynasty. The eyes that stared blankly were filled with longing for their wives, concubines, and relatives. What was the purpose of separating their families and bringing swords to Huainan? Wei and Wu were all Han, and they looked after each other.
The brutal killings, thousands of miles apart, are just for the sake of power and interests that are reluctant to let go.
