Hegemony

Chapter 87: Intrigue

Linping City.

In the temporary council hall.

The atmosphere is warm enough.

"Liu Guangshi, don't rely on the old man. My surname is Lu won't buy your account." Lu Yihao said with a red face and excitement.

"It's right that Linping was defeated by our four armies, but it is explained in advance, but with the command of Mrs. Han and the assistance of Brother Xiao, Linping has been defeated, but Lin'an City is not peaceful. Is it a little early for General Lu to grab his achievements now?" Liu Guangshi was a little calm, but he didn't give in and out of his words.

After Linping was shot down, the armies of each family returned to their respective departments. Lv Yihao and Wang Shijun heard that they also rushed to Linping in the future. Originally, they wanted to discuss their plans later. Unexpectedly, after hearing about the power of Xiao Yan's artillery, they all wanted to 'see'. Of course, if Xiao Yan knew each other, they would send a few doors or control. It's okay to tell them how to do it.

But Xiao Yan just pretends to be deaf and dumb. For him, these people are all resourceful people. Each city is so deep that no one dares to say anything. It should be noted that the technology of artillery was still extremely backward at that time, and the Southern Song Dynasty had just settled in the south of the Yangtze River, and its roots were unstable. All generals supported their own troops and were self-respecting. Although no one dared to rebel, who is strong must be of weight in the eyes of the imperial court and today's officials.

Although Linping City is small, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In their eyes, Linping's death and injury must be extremely serious. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan had such a killer mace, which forced Ma Rouji to surrender.

Think about yourself again. If Xiao Yan's artillery comes to you, the consequences must be extremely miserable, so everyone is coveted by Xiao Yan's cannons and wants to get a piece of the pie. However, Xiao Yan has been shirking, so the two of Lv Wang and his work on Linping's merits, hoping that Xiao Yan would take the initiative to fight for his achievements. They could take advantage of the topic. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan blushed and turned a blind eye to them, as if he had nothing to do with himself. In the end, he fought with Liu Guangshi.

"Two, two!" Wang Shijun's heart was like a mirror. Seeing that Lv Yihao's little Jiujiu did not succeed, he came out and said, "Is it credit? It's still General Liu and General Xiao, Mrs. Han."

Speaking of this, I took a look at Lv Yihao.

Lv Yihao naturally understood that Wang Shijun had laid a step for himself, and he had to go up instead! So the words turned around and lowered their voices and said, "We are all important ministers of the imperial court. We usually call ourselves loyal to serve the country. Now the emperor is still in the tiger's den. I'm also in a hurry. Brother Wang is right. The credit is yours, and no one can compete with it."

"Just, just." Lv Yihao hesitated for a moment, "In case the emperor inquires about the process of the war, we will always have an explanation to the emperor."

Seeing what Lv Yihao and Wang Shijun said, Liu Guangshi suddenly understood the real purpose of the two. His feelings were also shocked by Xiao Yan's cannon and wanted to make some money. It happened that Liu Guangshi also wanted to really see the mysterious guy Xiao Yan had been hiding.

But Liu Guangshi will not follow the thoughts of King Lv. He smiled and made a stump for them. "General Xiao, now I understand that General Lu and General Wang are not here to compete with our old Liu, but to be greedy for your mysterious guy!" After saying that, the two of them laughed again.

Lv Wang and the two were exposed by Liu Guangshi. Just as they were about to say something to distinguish, Liu Guangshi did not allow them to say more and said, "Actually, I also want to see it, I don't know..."

"This is no problem, but I'm afraid that the elders will be disappointed at that time." Xiao Yan saw that the matter was on the table, and no longer said that it was easy to make them suspicious, he laughed.

Liang Hongyu has been watching coldly on the sidelines. At this time, when she saw these people knocking from the sidelines and taking them to the table, they all wanted Xiao Yan to take out the cannon. Liu Guangshi saw that it was empty and interrupted, "Guys, little women, can you say a few words?"

These people have been intrigue, but they ignored Liang Hongyu. Hearing Liang Hongyu's words, they couldn't help blushing and nodded and agreeing.

"The little brother has agreed, so should we talk about what happened in Lin'an City?" In Liang Hongyu's words.

In fact, I'm afraid they already have plans before several people get together, but no one will say it first. When they have merit, they will squeeze their heads and become shrinking turtles when they take responsibility.

"Let me see if General Ma is called over to discuss it together. After all, he knows more about the situation in the city than we do." Xiao Yan said to himself when he saw that everyone was silent.

In fact, Xiao Yan also wants him to have a chance to make contributions, and it's easy to talk when he succeeds in suppressing the rebellion in the future.

Several people didn't expect Xiao Yan to make such a proposal and looked at each other. Don't agree, tell me the reason, and agree, in case something changes, it's not easy to control.

Seeing that they didn't say anything, Xiao Yan was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea in front of him and looked at him with a smile.

In the end, Liang Hongyu first agreed and agreed.

After Ma Ruoji came in, Xiao Yan briefly described the situation and finally asked, "Mr. Ma understands the situation in Lin'an. It's up to you to introduce the situation in the city."

Ma Rouji was now sure that it was Xiao Yan's intention. He looked at Xiao Yan gratefully and talked about the process from the beginning of the incident to the end of being sent to Linping.

Several people understood as soon as they heard it, but no one dared to speak.

Zhao Gu has been restored, but Lin'an City is still under the control of Miao and Liu. If the four people surround the city, it will inevitably force Miao and Liu to jump off the wall. In case Zhao Gu's crime is injured, who should be responsible for it? Outside Xiao Yan and Liang Hongyu, the three of them hesitated and just go around the circle, but they don't say.

Xiao Yan is young, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and silent, just listening to them.

Yue Lin has been with Xiao Yan because of the relationship between Yue Fei and Xiao Yan. First, he is worried about Yue Fei's safety, but he feels that these long-standing people still can't understand such a simple truth.

There are only more than 10,000 imperial battalions in Lin'an City, but there are more than 30,000 people in front of us, and more than 100,000 troops can be mobilized within a few days at any time. It is easy to defeat Lin'an. If you are worried about Zhao Gu's safety, you can open up and wait for the soldiers to force Miao and Liu to escape under the city, and then catch them.

Yue Lin is straightforward and doesn't have so many curves. She has always wanted to say it, but she was stopped by Liang Hongyu several times and blushed.

Seeing Yue Lin's worried appearance, Xiao Yan sighed and said, "The younger generation threw bricks to attract jade. Please don't blame me."

Seeing everyone agree, Yue Lin said slowly, looking forward to it, "Now you can't attack Lin'an City. You can only put pressure on Miao and Liu. I suggest that the three seniors play together and ask for the achievements of Miao and Liu."

He didn't say Liang Hongyu, because Han Shizhong was still in Lin'an and was afraid of being dragged down. Liang Hongyu smiled at Xiao Yan and understood what he meant and expressed her gratitude.

Yue Lin didn't understand and couldn't help asking, "We didn't come to King Qin because of his chaos. Why do we have to ask for credit for them?"

"Stupid girl! Don't talk yet. Listen to your brother Xiao finish speaking. Liang Hongyu has already seen their intentions in the past few days and teased Yue Lin.

Yue Lin blushed, but didn't say anything. Seeing Xiao Yan smile at herself and said, "After the memorial, Miao and Liu will definitely be in a mess. But if we are surrounded on all sides, it is inevitable that they will jump off the wall, but if the net opens one side, it may force them to escape. For today, it is most beneficial for seniors to see which side of the net open.

How could the three of them not have thought about these words, but Xiao Yan only said half of it. In the end, who would withdraw the troops was the most critical? Xiao Yan kicked the ball back.

But if you don't say it, you can't. In the future, when you come to the court, the officials must be overjoyed by Xiao Yan's words. Is it reasonable and well-founded for the sake of the safety of the officials? If they don't speak at this time, it is inevitable that the three of them will be loyal to the king. In line with the rule that successive emperors like to settle accounts after autumn, the end at that time may not be good!

In fact, they all understand that it will definitely be the best choice for Lu Wang to withdraw. The two are stationed on the southeast waterway. If they escape from the land road, it may make them feel unsafe and not take risks, but the waterway is different. If they go out from any water gate in the southeast, they will soon escape into the vast sea, which is relatively safe. Another is that if two people escape from the land, it is inevitable to hurt the people, but there is no such trouble at sea. The only thing is that the difficulty of chasing and escaping has increased.

But because several people have already divided their work, they must go to the defense of the other three people after they withdraw. In that case, there will be a primary and secondary division. I have already prepared the defense here. It is impossible for you to give it to you as soon as you come! The only result is to be a friendly army. In this way, the credit after the rebellion is greatly reduced.

Liu Guangshi, Lv Yihao and Wang Shijun looked at each other and thought to himself, "There must be no false scholar under the reputation. No wonder they sneaked on the Jin people at a young age, but they are not ordinary people."

Among them, Lv and Liu also thought, "Did Xiao Yan think of today in their respective defense zones from the beginning? If so, it would be terrible!"

The two looked at Xiao Yan and looked at each other again. Lv Yihao said, "The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and General Xiao woke up the dreamer with one word!" Since it can't be avoided, it's better to take the initiative to get the time.

"I and General Wang withdrew the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and stationed them to the defense of the three of you respectively. With your unified command, I and General Wang planned all the money and food for the army." After saying these, Lv Yihao said the specific reasons in detail. In fact, no one knows these, but Lv Yihao's words are completely different from the situation that made him blush and thick neck just now. He looks like a minister who is righteous and loyal to the country but doesn't want to be rewarded.

Xiao Yan and Liu Liang knew that they were dumb and ate Huang Lian, but their faces were serious and praised that they were models for everyone in the court.
