Chapter 147 Night Talk

(please subscribe for monthly pass)

Yang Feng didn't come alone. The champion Hou sent ten officers and officers to discuss with the Juan Hou a plan to ambush the Huns.

The general plan has been formulated by the generals. The Northern Army is secretly mobilizing troops and ambushing 30,000 people in the valley outside Shenxiongguan within half a month. Take advantage of it, you can only move to the west.

Chai Yue, on behalf of General Zhenbei, coordinated with the Northern Army, while Han Ruzi sat on the sidelines and asked only one question: What should he do if the Huns attacked the Iron City within half a month?

A North Army general was in charge of gathering intelligence, claiming that the Huns are currently scattered, and it is impossible for them to gather together within half a month. They may harass Iron Broken City, but the force will not exceed 1,000. General Zhenbei. Thousands of soldiers were completely able to defend.

Han Ruzi listened carefully to the conversations of these professional soldiers, and occasionally glanced at Yang Feng.

Yang Feng, as the chief historian, was the head of the Northern Army officials. He only cared about the supplies from the rear and never commented on how to fight the war. Therefore, after the first half of the discussion, he had nothing to do. Like Han Ruzi, he stood by the generals and officials. Behind them, looking at the map, listening to them talk about how to attack, how to contain.

There are not many Huns who will fight this time, not more than 10,000 people, so everyone wants to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

As the negotiation was about to end, Han Ruzi couldn't help but ask another question: Wouldn't the frequent mobilization of the Chu army disturb the Huns?

Hearing this question, the generals and military officers all laughed, thinking it was inappropriate, and they all put away their smiles one after another, Chai Yue explained: "The Huns are not good at inquiring about news, and they don't trust the Chu people who occasionally defect. Moreover, the mobilization of the Chu army is not only in the broken iron city, but every city in the northern part of the Saibei has its defenses. retreat."

Chai Yue was also very young, but he had a very detailed understanding of the battle between Chu and Hungarian. All the generals and officers nodded, indicating that he was right.

Han Ruzi smiled.

It was getting late, and the people of the Northern Army stayed overnight, and Chai Yue and others received them, so Han Ruzi didn't have to accompany him.

The banquet over there went on for a while, and Yang Feng came alone to ask to see him.

Zhang Youcai and Loach received orders, and they let Yang Feng enter the tent without notification.

Han Ruzi was sitting on the bed reading a book, looked up at Yang Feng, and asked, "How does Taizu treat betrayers?"

"Kill." Yang Feng replied and came over.

"But according to the records of national history, Taizu let go of the betrayers several times..."

"If you let me guess, Taizu didn't know that those people would betray them. Look at a record in July of the second year of Taizu's uprising. He was surrounded by the army of the previous dynasty, escaped alone, and threw the army he finally established. If you have to clean it up, will such a person show mercy to the betrayer?"

"Some people have been betrayed by many people, and they also lived after the Taizu Dingding."

"Because these people are not the heirs of the Taizu in the first place, they each have their own powers, today they will fall to this side, tomorrow they will fall to that side, and they never intend to be loyal, so naturally there is no need to betray. Taizu keeps them just to show Chu The military wide opening means that the betrayal of these people does not have much impact on the Taizu. If you look at the record of Taizu's 15th year of Dingding, the last general who was once wavering was also exterminated."

Han Ruzi turned the book according to what Yang Feng said, and he saw the relevant records, but it didn't say what happened to the army that was abandoned by the Taizu, nor did it indicate that the minister who was exterminated was "the last wavering general" .

Yang Feng stood in front of the bed and said, "When opening the door, everyone has to accept and endure, so as to attract real talents. When eradicating dissidents, you have to be ruthless, but you must give a well-known reason. , if it's useless for the time being, don't let the betrayal get too close to you."

Han Ruzi closed the book, "After encircling and destroying the Huns, I will get rid of..."

"Don't tell me this, I'm the chief history of the Northern Army. If the champion Hou Ruo asked about your movements, I can't help but tell you."

Only then did Han Ruzi remember that Yang Feng was not his subordinate, they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"What can we talk about?"

"Everything public."

"Well, should I participate in the Battle of Ironbreaker?"

"should."

"I was hesitant..."

Yang Feng was still as stern and straightforward as before, interrupting Han Ruzi, "I said 'should', because you have already done it, instead of hesitating, it is better to move forward bravely. Did Taizu know in his early years that he would definitely be able to establish the Great Chu? Of course not possible , he just pushes hard until he defeats all the enemies. He doesn't dare to hesitate, the emperor's fault will be magnified by his courtiers, and any hesitation will be fatal. If you decide to do it to the end, the one who walks in the front is destined to see If there is no road, whichever way he goes may be the future road."

Han Ruzi suddenly had nothing to ask. For him, Yang Feng was not a counselor, but a teacher.

"I have a looker here, do you want to meet me?" Han Ruzi asked.

"See you."

Han Ruzi called Zhang Youcai and ordered him to invite Lin Kunshan.

Yang Fengdao: "I recommend two people, Marquis Tien can meet."

"Who?" Han Ruzi was surprised.

"Don't be too strict on the patrol tonight, the first person will come to you."

"Meng..."

Yang Feng waved his hand, motioned Hou Juan to stop talking, and continued: "There is another person, surnamed Fang, named Daye, who is not very easy to deal with, is a little old, and is recovering from the broken iron city. Help, it depends on whether you have the ability to win over him."

Yang Feng came up with a proposition as soon as he arrived. This is the first time that Han Ruzi was asked to do it in detail, not just think.

Han Ruzi nodded, and was about to ask about Fang Daye's origin, when Zhang Youcai had already returned with Lin Kunshan.

Lin Kunshan bowed to Han Ruzi first. His status in the army was an aide, and he had no specific official position. Instead, he didn't need to give a big gift. When he saw Yang Feng, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"You recognize me." Yang Feng said.

Lin Kunshan said with a smile: "The famous Yang Feng, who in the world doesn't know about it? I have seen a portrait of you, so I can recognize it at a glance."

Yang Feng stared at Lin Kunshan for a while, "Please, Your Excellency, give Chunyu Xiao a message for me."

"Okay, as long as you see the old teacher, you must convey, what does Duke Yang want to say?"

"Tell him to stop, it is impossible to win the world by relying on the sidelines."

"Haha, Eunuch Yang really looks down on the old teacher, well, I will definitely bring it."

Yang Feng bowed his hands to say goodbye and left.

Lin Kunshan smiled and asked Juan Hou: "Yang Gong sees me for this trivial matter?"

Han Ruzi was also very strange, especially when he felt that his conversation with Yang Feng was not over yet, "It seems so."

"Forget it, I'm about to see Marquis Tired."

Han Ruzi signaled to Zhang Youcai and asked him to leave the tent to guard.

Lin Kunshan stepped forward and said, "How did Marquis Tien feel on the way?"

"Fortunately, it's easier than I expected."

"Marquis Tien is relieved, but the common people are not."

"Mr. Lin may wish to speak directly." Han Ruzi thought that those who hoped for qi were somewhat useful, but he was always vigilant about their words.

"From Mayi City to Shenxiongguan, the road travels more than a thousand miles, the army travels a hundred miles a day, the roads are paved, the barracks are ready-made, food, grass, slaves, etc. are all prepared. There are at least 40,000 people on the road toiling for it."

"Yeah." Of course Han Ruzi knew that these things were not created out of thin air.

"The riot that was thwarted by Marquis Tien started because of this. It was the autumn harvest season, and many people were conscripted by the government to build roads and build camps for the army. The army stayed overnight and left, but the people had to pay at least ten days. Once the autumn crops are harvested, more than half of them will be taken away by the officials and sent to the border cities, and by then, there will be more riots.”

Han Ruzi was silent for a while, "It's no use telling me this now."

"Of course, I just hope that one day Huanhou can remember what I said now."

"I'm afraid this 'one day' will not come soon."

"Hehe, not necessarily, the general trend has been completed, there is only one excuse."

"What is the general trend? What is the beginning?"

"It's not that I'm cheating. The only one who can see through the two is my teacher. I'm still waiting for the fire. In short, Marquis Tire remembers what I said just now." ?"

Han Ruzi shook his head: "He is the chief history of the Northern Army, and going to Shattered Iron City with me is tantamount to being demoted."

Lin Kunshan left with a smile, but Han Ruzi had a feeling that Lin Kunshan was very afraid of Yang Feng, and this fear was deep down, not just because Yang Feng had arrested many hopefuls.

Han Ruzi sat alone for a while, and asked Loach to call Chao Hua, "When you arrive at Shenxiongguan, you can rest for a while. You can only keep people at the gate at night, and you will be exempted from inspections."

Chao Hua was a little surprised by this order, but he didn't ask any further. He went out to arrange a rest for the soldiers on the night watch, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the camp gate.

Zhang Youcai and Loach usually take turns living in the Huanhou tent, and Han Ruzi asked them to go to the tent next door to rest early on the grounds of reading a book.

He did read the book, and after Yang Feng's instructions, Taizu's deeds began to appear out of order. Although the history of the country tried his best to highlight Taizu's foresight, he claimed that when he was still a commoner, he had expected that one day he would be "invaluable." But more details show that Taizu originally only wanted to protect himself, and he had the ambition to compete for the world at least three years after the uprising.

"Go forward bravely." Han Ruzi couldn't help but think that Taizu's "going forward" could cause a lot of trouble. To survive to the end, half depended on alertness, and the other half depended on luck.

No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, but very few people dare to try, and there is no one who succeeds. Looking at it later, the only person who is called the emperor really seems to be protected by some kind of power.

Han Ruzi suddenly understood why he and the King of Donghai were so "popular". As the sons of Emperor Huan, the road for the two to fight for the throne was destined to be less than half of the ups and downs, but there were still half of the ups and downs, which could kill them at any time.

Pfft, the candles were burned out, Han Ruzi sighed softly, covered the book and meditated, thinking that he should not imitate the Taizu before the uprising and in the early days, but should pay attention to the Taizu when the three heroes were fighting.

"Have you insisted on practicing the exercises?" asked a familiar voice that he hadn't heard in a long time.

"Practice."

"Well, let's have a test. I win, turn around and leave, and cut off communication from now on. I lose, tell you all the truth, and then let's negotiate a deal."

Meng E was a stranger than Yang Feng, and Han Ruzi was about to say that he was definitely not an opponent when a palm was slapped with the sound of wind in the dark.
