Chapter 11 The Prophet
Chu Tianya packed up at home, picked up some daily necessities, and was ready to go to the barracks to settle down. At home, I left it to Uncle He to take care of the house. Anyway, he also knew about Bai Shu and others, so Chu Tianya told him that if Qixingshan sent someone to contact him, he would ask him to go to the military camp of the prince's mansion to inform him.
Originally, ordinary people can enter a place like the royal palace. However, the city of Taiyuan can't lock He Bo, and Chu Tianya is not worried at all about how he will enter the prince's mansion.
Out of the door, Chu Tianya went to the prince's mansion with a burden on his back. When I walked to the head of the stone bridge, I saw a man at the top of the bridge with his hands cut his back and stood by the bridge railing and looking into the distance. His eyebrows were not depressed.
It's Ma Yan.
Chu Tianya's heart moved, and he can't let go of this great opportunity to get close to Ma's expansion. So he thought about it in his heart and stepped forward to talk to him.
"Ma Dujian."
"Well, is that you?" Ma expanded back to his senses and looked at Chu Tianya, "What can I do for you?"
"The last general lives not far ahead. He just told the messenger of the prison city to come back to get something, and then he was ready to go back to the barracks." Chu Tianya hugged his fist and said, "It's just that I happened to meet Ma Dujian on the road here."
"Oh..." Ma Yan answered with no heart, "If you have nothing to do, go back to the camp early!"
"Yes." Chu Tianya answered, but he didn't leave.
Ma Yan frowned, "What else do you have to do?"
"The last general sees that Ma Dujian is sad and seems to be upset. Why don't you let the last general do it and ask Ma Dujian to go to the Star Building to have a drink to relieve his sorrow?" Chu Tianya said, "The last time I got the help of Mengmadu Supervisor, the last general didn't thank me, and I had the right to do it with a few glasses of thin wine."
Ma Yu frowned slightly. Seeing that he didn't seem to be very willing to talk to Chu Tianya, but he reached out and didn't hit the smiling face. Chu Tianya was extremely affectionate, so he nodded indifferently, "It's okay."
"Ma Dujian, please!"
The two went to the Star Tower together and called a quiet Accord. Chu Tianya just asked for the best delicious wine in the store and filled a table.
Ma Jian has been quiet. When the wine and dishes were on the table, he was slightly stained with meat under the persuasion of Chu Tianya. At first, Chu Tianya would drink wine for him and worship him little by little. But he seemed to be really upset. He let Chu Tianya put down the wine pot and pulled it by himself, and poured the best Dukang wine into his stomach one cup after another.
"Ma Dujian, why is it so annoying? Can you tell it to the last general? Maybe the last general can relieve the troubles of the capital and make a little more effective? Chu Tianya asked tentatively.
Ma Yu drank several cups in a row, and it was already a little light. At this time, he took a long breath, shook his head again, did not say anything, and continued to drink wine one cup after another.
Chu Tianya thought to himself that I came from a lowly vulgar official. He was a real general from a military background and looked down on me from the beginning. It's really difficult to get close to him. But if I can say what he thinks in one word, he will definitely look at me with new eyes!
After thinking about it, Chu Tianya thinks that people like Ma Yu will definitely not make a fortune for their children's private affairs or promotion. He is so annoyed and refuses to tell the truth. What can annoy him should be mostly related to the military!
Chu Tianya took a try attitude and said, "Is Ma Dujian worried about the real woman?"
Ma Yanzheng dived a glass of wine to his lips, and then his action stagnated, "What are you talking about?"
"The last general said nonsense, please forgive me!"
"Go on."
Chu Tianya hugged his fist and said carefully, "The last general is also hearsay. It is reported that after the Jin people destroyed the Liao Kingdom, they constantly recruited and mobilized soldiers and horses in the name of searching for the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, operating soldiers and horses, and looking for livestock and pastures in the border area. In the area of Yanyun, the army of the State of Jin is quite frequent... Is it that they are going to go south to invade my Song Dynasty?"
"Bang!"
Ma Yu put the wine glass on the table and said harshly, "This is a military and national event. You are a little official... How dare you say it?"
General is the general name for all medium-level military officers in the army in the Song Dynasty. The military officers of the Song Dynasty have three grades with their own titles, from high to low, namely, the capital school, the general school and the level. In fact, Chu Tianya and Ma Yan belong to the "General" level, but Chu Tianya is only the lowest level of the head army, which is at the bottom of the general level.
"All of them are angry." Chu Tianya did not panic and hugged his fist and said, "It is everyone's responsibility for the rise and fall of the country." Although the last general is a micro general, there is nothing wrong with caring about state affairs. Moreover, the last general just talked to the supervisor at the wine table, and he would not go outside to preach demagogy.
"Where did you hear these words?" Ma Yan's eyes became sharp and stared at Chu Tianya.
"To be honest, I guess!"
"Guessed?"
"That's right!"
"Then guess again, do I believe you?" Ma Yan looked at Chu Tianya with great surprise and suspicion. Suddenly, he was angry and slapped on the table and shouted, "If you don't tell the truth today, I will take you down and treat you for stealing into the government and stealing military aircraft!"
Chu Tianya was stunned and said, "Sneak into the government hall and steal military aircraft? ...So, the last general guessed right?"
"Are you still prevaricate?" Ma Yu stared angrily and habitually drew a knife to his waist. When he touched it, it was empty. It turned out that he had changed his flat clothes to go out today and did not wear a knife.
"Why didn't Ma Dujian ask indiscriminately to make the last general?" Chu Tianya was not surprised. He poured a glass of wine and raised it up and said, "If the general really stole the military plane, how could he deliberately leak it to Ma Dujian? Isn't he looking for his own death?"
Ma Yan was obviously stunned: This makes sense!
"Why don't the supervisor sit down and talk about it peacefully?" Chu Tianya still held the wine and said seriously.
Ma Yan looked at Chu Tianya carefully from head to toe. I'm afraid this was the first time he looked at Chu Tianya with his eyes. Although he was full of doubts, he sat down, poured a glass of wine, and drank it at the invitation of Chu Tianya.
Chu Tianya secretly breathed a sigh of relief: What I just said are all the historical events I learned from books and the Internet in my previous life. Before the state of Jin went south to invade the Song Dynasty, there were indeed these actions. In order to catch the Song Dynasty off guard and strive to win with one blow, they secretly gathered troops and horses at the border and strictly blocked the news. Finally, a large number of elite cavalry were used to raid the south with a "blitz" to invade the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo of the Song Dynasty - at present, these are undoubtedly highly military secrets. But judging from Ma's performance, he seems to have known about it.
"I seem to underestimate you?" Ma Yu did look at Chu Tianya like a knife and suddenly said, "I sent someone to investigate your details. Although you are from a scholarly family, you are famous in Taiyuan City. You are an idle and incompetent person. He is known as 'Longcheng Taibao'. Now it seems that... you are not!"
With Ma's status, it is indeed straightforward to speak to Chu Tianya. You don't have to be polite or euphemistic. Therefore, Chu Tianya didn't care, but just smiled indifferently, "Maybe people will change."
"Then your change is too big!" Ma Yan suddenly shouted, "Say, who instructed you?"
"No one." As Chu Tianya looked at Ma, he did not move to respond, and his expression was even more silent. He said, "You don't have to cross-examination left and right. I'm not a spy of the State of Jin. If I am, I should ask you about the victory of the victory and the victory army, instead of telling you about the movements of the golden soldiers at the border.
Ma Qian was slightly stunned and said in surprise: Can he gain insight into people's hearts? Why does he know what I'm thinking?
"Then what do you want to do?" Ma Yan stared at Chu Tianya and felt more and more that the person in front of him was very mysterious. In front of him, he was already completely different from the prison official who "flattering and devulged Xue Yu" at the beginning!
"It's very simple. I want to save Dragon City!" Chu Tianya said half seriously and half jokingly, "I'm called 'Longcheng Taibao'. Shouldn't this be?"
"So you approached us with a purposeful and premeditated approach?" Ma Yan's eyes narrowed, and there was a faint flash of anger in it. He said in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"Didn't the prison have already investigated my details? Why do you have to ask?" Chu Tianya paused the wine glass in his hand on the table, sighed and said, "Is it wrong for me to care about state affairs as a member of the Song Dynasty? I just said what I wanted in my heart, and the prison was questioning. Does it mean that people in the world don't talk about state affairs, so that the Song Dynasty can have long-term stability? What's more, I used to be a junior official, and now I'm a general in the army of the Song Dynasty. I have been nurtured by the Song Dynasty before and after. Shouldn't I care more about the major affairs of the military and the country? - I repeat, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country!"
"I didn't expect that your eloquence is not bad." After listening to this, Ma Yu seemed to relax his vigilance a little and said, "It's a responsibility for the rise and fall of the country. That's a good word. But I'm still very skeptical. How did you learn about Jin Bing's movements at the border?
"So, my guess is correct?"
"Let's just say - you tell me, how do you know?"
Chu Tianya couldn't help smiling. Recalling the words that Bo He analyzed that the Kingdom of Jin was bound to invade the south, as if it was in his ear. This saves me the trouble of searching for dead intestines to organize words.
Therefore, Chu Tianya talked about He Bo's words, coupled with the recent historical knowledge he knew, and added jealousy to Ma. The long talk was like a torrent, which lasted for half an hour.
During, Ma Yan didn't say a word and listened attentively. It can be seen that this man who has experienced the baptism of war is not ordinary calm.
"I'm done." Chu Tianya said, "The above are just stupid opinions. I once put myself in my shoes and thought that if I were the general of the Jin Kingdom, when I planned to go south to invade the Song Dynasty, I would secretly mobilize the soldiers and horses when the horses were fat after summer and autumn. Then in winter, in the season when the river is frozen and the Yellow River withered water is beneficial to give full play to the mobility advantage of cavalry, I will go south with lightning speed. . Although the fighting power of the Jin soldiers is strong, after all, they have just established the country, and their total population is only seven or eight million. Among them, there are also many people abduction from Liao. People's hearts are not stable, and the food and materials are not very sufficient. They can't stand the long-term battle - therefore, it is their best strategy for me to prepare for lightning attacks. Tactics!"
"Taiyuan, it really lives up to the name of Dragon City. The earth spirit man is crouching with tigers and hiding dragons!" Ma expanded to meditated on this sentence and didn't know whether to praise Chu Tianya or be strictly guarded. His eyebrows sank, and he said, "Why don't you say these words to Master Tong?"
"There are three reasons." Chu Tianya has already been in his chest, so he answered like a stream, "One, I can't see him; second, even if I see the master, Ma Dujian has the patience to listen to my long speech, the last general, he may not; third, even if I finish the above words with the teacher, it is useless! Not only will he not believe it, but he will kill me with a decisive knife!"
"Why did the master want to kill you?" Ma Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Tianya.
"Because Taishi was sent by the court of the Song Dynasty to discuss with the Jin people and deliver the land of Yunzhong County occupied by the State of Jin. Now that the city has not been obtained, the two countries are about to go to war. Isn't it fearful that the Taishi has betrayed the entrustment of the court and caused a military disaster? Chu Tianya said, "It's just that such a thing has been told by me, and Tong Taishi has no room to cover up the sirk - how can he tolerate me?"
"Then why do you dare to tell me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the master about this? Ma Yan's words are very threatening.
Chu Tianya smiled indifferently, "If this is the case, I only complain that my intelligence is short and eyeless, and I mistakenly recognize Ma Du as a righteous and generous man. Chu has the intention to serve the country and is unable to return to heaven; God's will is like this, what can he do?
Ma Yu stared at Chu Tianya for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "You are really smart. Your speculation is correct. Today, our army received a number of simultaneous reports from many states and counties in front of us, saying that Jin Bing was active at the border frequently, which meant to invade the south. However, the imperial master refused to accept it and still sent me to go to Yunzhong to meet Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the State of Jin, and urged him to hand over the state and county cities, so I was aggrieved and depressed! - Seeing that the Jin people were about to be beaten down, the Taishi not only did not mobilize troops to set up defense, but also eagerly looking forward to the Jin people to send me the city! ...Chu Tianya, you still have He Gaojian, let's talk about it all!"
