The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 28: Happy to know each other.
The cargo ship I'm going to take is from Zhenze Lake and travels north to Jingkou along the Jiangnan Canal. This is a ship that transports grain and grass from Wuxi to Huaidong. The first battle in Huaidong last fall was the autumn harvest. At that time, because the Yong army invaded the territory, the pellets were not harvested. After the Huaidong was regained by the Southern Chu, the two armies confronted each other and urgently needed food and grass. Therefore, since the end of last year, grain ships from Wuyue to Huaidong have been in an endless stream. There are official grains as well as private grains, of which more than 60% are shipped from Wuxi. Most businesses such as grain shops are under the control of aristocratic families, but this does not prevent the businesses controlled by Tianji Pavilion from running around once, buying grain from ten ships and eight ships in Wuyue and transporting them to Huaidong for sale. This is a very common thing. In fact, there is an endless stream of ships like this on the canal. Naturally, no one knows that one of the specially-made cargo ships contains a few more illegal immigrants who shouldn't exist.
On the surface, this cargo ship has nothing to do with ordinary cargo ships, but it moved its hands and feet when designing it. A secret room was added to the cabin to carry some valuable private goods. Now, I am being entrained. Xiao Shunzi became the servant of Liang Chuan Guan (Shanzi). He only needs to change his appearance. There are only a few people who can see his depth, so there is no need to worry that someone will see him. Identity. But Hu Yanshou and the other four guards were all sealed by Xiao Shunzi with 70% to 80% of martial arts, and then they were thrown on the boat to do coolies. Anyway, after changing into the boatman's coarse cloth shirt, the light in his eyes was dim. Apart from his taller figure, he could hardly see that he was a soldier in martial arts. As the East China Sea Army went south, these people had already survived the seasickness. This time, I specially sent someone to train them how to sail for a long time. As long as they don't talk nonsense, they can barely serve as boatmen. These guards are all conscientious, shrewd and capable sergeants, otherwise they would not be selected as Hu Ben guards. If they work hard, they must be one of the best boatmen by the time they disembark. Actually, I didn't care about Hu Yanshou's face and let him also be a boatman. It's just that the secret room on the boat is smaller and it's ok to live alone. If you add another one, it would be too crowded.
This secret room is only two feet square. There is only one bed, one table and one chair. In addition, there is only a small area for people to move around. Although the ventilation is not bad, there is even one connected. The small room can be washed, but it is not comfortable enough after all, especially for me who is used to enjoying it. But I am also helpless. Huaidong is no better than Wu Yue. If I show up and show something wrong, I can't escape even if I want to run, so I can only feel wronged and hide in the secret room. This is also the condition that Xiao Shunzi promised me to sneak into Nanchu. . Thinking that I need to be bored here for ten and a half months, I just complain of suffering. Although Hu Yanshou is a little bit pitiful, they can at least see the sky, and Xiao Shunzi can wander freely outside. With his martial arts, he is It’s really depressing to see such a strong contrast when you come back after a stroll on the shore.
Looking at the Ye Mingzhu embedded in the bulkhead, there is a hint of happiness in my heart. Although this kind of secret room ventilation is good, it is unbearable if the lights are lit for a long time. However, there is no sky here. If the lights are not lit, then It's because you can't see your fingers. If someone else hides in it, you can only endure it for a while. But the mountain is very elven. A small mechanism was temporarily added to the wall, which can be embedded with a few night pearls. This way, the indoor pearly light is bright, although it is not as good as the sky, but the line of sight is unobstructed. Even if you want to read a book, you will not feel that the light is too light. Dark, if it weren't for this, how could I suffer for the past ten days?
Putting down the scroll, I sighed again. It's really lonely. Maybe it's a habit. I used to like quietness the most, but now I feel that I can't stand loneliness. Xiao Shunzi is true too, leaving me alone to go to Happy, it is strange to say, if he is by my side, even if he doesn’t say a word a day, I don’t feel lonely. I tossed over and over on the couch several times, and finally couldn’t bear it. Staying, jumping out of bed and pacing on the ground, after a few laps, I felt more suffocated and wished to go out to let the air out, but when I thought that I had an appointment with Xiao Shunzi and couldn't leave the secret room on the way, I could only feel sad. When I was very troubled, the small door of the secret room slid open silently, and Xiao Shunzi leaned in, carrying a food container in his hand.
I was overjoyed. When Xiao Shunzi put the food box on the table and was about to go out, I pulled him and said, "Come with me. It's not too late to go out after eating." Xiao Shunzi glanced at me. At first glance, he ignored me, just took out the dishes and tableware in the food box. I was overjoyed when I saw it. There were two sets of tableware. Xiao Shunzi was really loyal and knew I was bored, so I deliberately Having dinner with me, thinking of this, I quickly took two teacups and put them on the table, and eagerly lifted the pot to pour tea, ready to please him, not paying attention to the smile that flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes.
After eating, I saw Xiao Shunzi packing up the dishes and chopsticks there, thinking that he was going to hang out again, but I became a cocoon, and a strong feeling of depression surged in my heart. I lay down on the couch, turned inward, and stared. Staring at the wall in a daze. Soon after, I heard the sound of Xiao Shunzi leaving, and his heart became more and more slanderous. If he wants to leave, he can definitely be silent. How can I make such a noise? It's not about me, but think about me He was not allowed to kill Ding Ming, but didn't tell him the reason. No wonder he was so angry with me. Thinking wildly, Xiao Shunzi said indifferently from behind: "How about the next chess game?"
I was overjoyed and quickly turned over and sat up. Even the last time I was killed by Xiao Shunzi in sweat, and vows not to play chess with him, I completely forgot, and hurriedly said: "No regrets, at least three games. "
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, and a warm expression appeared on the delicate face that had recovered his true face. This is a rare expression these days.
I was only halfway through a game, so I frowned again, watching the bitter smile on the board that had been smashed by Xiao Shunzi, raised my head, and saw Xiao Shunzi's look and courage. I was bold. Said: "It's not interesting to play chess, let's just chat?" Xiao Shunzi's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "What are you talking about?"
I smiled and said: "Anything is fine, you can ask or say anything, it's rare to be so leisurely and there are no outsiders around."
I thought in my heart, as long as Xiao Shunzi asks, I can explain to him the reason for his reckless behavior these days, so that he will not feel unhappy. Who knows, Xiao Shunzi thought for a while, and said: "The son proposed to the emperor to go with the water army to the south, and the emperor asked the son why. The son only said that he wanted to make the Chu army misunderstand that the main direction of our army was Wu Yue. I want to come today. The reason is not only that, one is to reconcile with Jing, and the other is to share the pressure of Jiang Hou?"
I picked up a chess piece and joked in my hand and said with a smile: "It's true that I want to reconcile with Jing's. Even if someone else comes, I can show mercy to Jing's men. Unfortunately, I know that his uncle is stubborn and tough. If I can’t resolve my heart knot with my uncle, the Jing family will never be used by our army, but the emperor will not worry about my return to Jiaxing, so I didn’t mention it. As for sharing the pressure on Haitao, how can I say this? What?"
Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "This is the first time the East Sea Army has fought since its return to Dayong I. The victory and defeat is very important. Wu Yue is the essence of Southern Chu. Even if he succeeds in a short time, he will inevitably suffer defeat. Moreover, with the rule of the king and the strategy of sea bandits, I am afraid that it is easy to be attacked. Even if no one says anything now, it will be a big crime when it happens in the future. The son will go south together and discuss the strategy of robbing Wu Yue for the future. If someone wants to blame this, he must consider the son's position. Doesn't the son share the pressure for Jiang Hou by doing this?"
I smiled and said, Xiao Shunzi continued: "In fact, if the East China Sea Army were not the best at landing and robbery, even if the young man made a plan and prepared an accurate map of Wu Yue, it would not be possible in just over ten days. To complete such a strategy, if Jiang Hou is not prepared to do so, he will not prepare so many offshore warships, and the process of the robbery will not be so clean. Now although the son has won the contribution of the strategy, Jiang Hou will fight the strategy. The execution is so perfect, it is an unworldly achievement, but the son takes the possible attack on himself, and he does not know whether the future will be a blessing or a curse."
Looking at me, Xiao Shunzi said again: "The son naturally also considered the consequences of doing this. In the future, if the son loses his imperial heart, it will be inevitable that someone will use this to attack the son, but the son will naturally not let these things go. In my heart, it is Jiang Hou. He is young and energetic. If he is separated from Dayong, it would be a pity for this navy that runs all over the world. And as long as Jiang Hou is fine, Hai’s boat trip will not be affected, and we will There is a back road to retreat, so the son will not care about the reputation, but will take the responsibility of providing advice."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but smile and said: "Cunning Rabbit Three Caves, this is also the way to self-sufficiency."
Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly and said: "If the son only wants to leave a back road, he can stay in Dinghai, and he will return to the Central Plains in the north when the weather is calm. However, the son is determined to cross the Chu realm alone and go to Huai. East."
My face went red and said: "Didn't I explain this before?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "The son did explain to me. In March this year, the Jiangnan Xingyuan will be built, and the son needs to go to work. Once the Southern Chu Army knows that the son is in Dinghai, Ninghaihai Camp will definitely stop the north. Road, within a short period of time, the son can not go north, even if the navy is escorted, he will inevitably encounter Ninghai raids. If the son stays in Dinghai, it will inevitably miss the military opportunity and make the emperor dissatisfied with the son's decision to go south. In order to hurry and also for safety For the sake of it, it’s better to walk on land, under the cover of Tianji Pavilion, but it is safer."
I smiled and said: "That's it, I didn't lie."
Xiao Shunzi glanced at me and said, "The son of course didn't lie, but he just avoided the importance. You want to leave Dinghaifei for the military affairs of Jiangnan, but for Jianghou. If the son is in Dinghai for a day, Jianghou's All the credits are inevitably discounted. Jiang Hou and his son are named masters and apprentices, but he serves him like a father and a brother. The son is naturally unwilling to compromise Jiang Hou’s reputation, so he hurriedly left Dinghai. As for leaving Mr. Cong, it was for the sake of staying. This creates the illusion that the son is still in Dinghai. Secondly, it is also to let the son of Cong assist Jiang Hou. Although the son is young, he has a calm heart. Although Jiang Hou is brave and good at fighting, he is a little energetic. If you compare with Lu Can, I am afraid that it is a little inferior, but there is With the assistance of Master Cong, he will surely stabilize the situation in Dinghai, and even a small setback will not suffer major damage."
I sighed softly and said: "There is another reason, but you didn't guess it."
Xiao Shunzi raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the son saying that this time is also to test the son Cong?"
I was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You also thought of this?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "Princess Cong's life is unknown, but he is the most loved by him. He always can't bear to forcibly ask questions. But in recent years, Mr. Cong is highly regarded by the prince and the king of Jiajun, and he will definitely become a great minister in the future. , Young Master Yi Cong’s ability and talent, it’s not difficult to want power to be in the hands of the people. It’s nothing at all, but Young Master is worried about the gap between him and Dayong. This time he deliberately left him in Dinghai, unlike before. Always restrain him by his side, he is suddenly free, and it is inevitable that his thoughts will be revealed. The young man must have left a dark child in Hu Benwei, monitoring the behavior of young man Cong. Once you find something unusual, you can ask Jiang Houjiang. He was put under house arrest. Dinghai was lonely overseas, and Master Cong had done something improper and could hardly affect the overall situation. Moreover, even if something happened, Jiang Hou could help to conceal the truth and prevent it from leaking out. The son acting like this is both. In order to test Master Cong, but also to protect Master Cong in case. I only hope that Master Cong can be considerate of his heart and not to do things that hurt him."
I sighed when I heard this, I have been delaying the affairs of Cong'er for many years, but now I can’t ignore it anymore. The prince has already begun to get involved in military affairs. If there is something wrong with Cong'er, I want to Just figure it out before the prince reuses him.
Xiao Shunzi said in a surprising way: "These things are easy to understand. It's just that the relationship between the son and Na Ding Ming and Ku Zhuo made me puzzled, but I suddenly thought about it today. I understand, so I also want to ask if the son is correct?"
When I heard this, I was very interested. These days I thought Xiao Shunzi was angry about this incident, but I didn’t think he was thinking of reasons for me. I have to listen to whether he understands my intentions. Sitting up straight, his face showed a respectful look.
Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "In the beginning, the son was only happy with the hunt and wanted to spend a while with talented people. Who knows that after the two got on the boat, the son knew their identities, so he deliberately borrowed it. I was worried. This character is rare in the world. If they think about it carefully, they will inevitably think of the real identity of the son, so they advocate killing two people, but the son does not allow me to do it, just hinting that I will join the fan in the boiling water of the third tea. Medicine, then kissed the water, stunned the two of them, and left a token, suggesting the identity of the master of the pavilion of heavenly secret. Only then did I understand the profound meaning of the son, the mysterious and unpredictable of the pavilion of heaven is a legend, they know that the son is After the Tianji Pavilion Lord, no matter what the flaws are, they can be explained in their eyes. Naturally, they will not think of the real identity of the son. The son’s parental procedure is to make them mistakenly believe that the son himself inflicted the poison, but they Naturally, I don’t see the clues, and I think that the son is deeply hidden. In this way, I would never think that the son is Jiang Zhe Jiang Suiyun. The world knows that the son is a weak scholar. But I don’t understand why the son is bothered. Is it just for Ding Ming's heartfelt words to keep their lives?"
I smiled faintly, and there was a sly in my eyes. I was proud of the strategy I came up with, but also smiled secretly that Xiao Shunzi only saw the superficial article. Who knows that Xiao Shunzi smiled slightly, and continued: "So I have been thinking about it these days, and finally I figured out the whole thing, because what they are going to do is also what the son is going to do, and they do It is more effective to get twice the result with half the effort, so the son would rather let the two people go at the risk of revealing their identities. However, although the methods are the same, the purpose is worlds apart. They want to protect the people of Nanchu society, but the purpose of the son is In order to weaken and eradicate the Wu Yue family.
The son was born in Jiaxing, and 40% of the Tianji Pavilion industry is in Wuyue. Although the son is exiled, he has never forgotten his hometown. This time the son offered a plan to rob Wuyue and captured Wuyue. I'm afraid some people criticize him for not thinking about the hometown. But I don't know the son is painstakingly.
In the eyes of the son, the Wuyue family is the biggest obstacle. The decline of South Chu is the main reason for the competition between the royal family and the family. For the son, the family’s power is harmful and unprofitable. Now other families in Nanchu Most of them withered, only the land of Wu Yue, but because they were far away from war and ocean trade, the power of the family became stronger and stronger. Since the son has voted for Dayong, he naturally does not want Dayong to repeat the same mistakes in the future, so the Wuyue family must be cleansed. However, after Da Yong ruled the world, the Wu Yue family must look forward to the wind. Regardless of whether it is true or false, if it is cleaned again at that time, I am afraid that the Jiangnan people will be unstable. The emperor is the British lord. He will definitely not indulge the Wu Yue family. The Wu Yue family will not give in. Provoking civil rebellion, in this way, the Jinxiu River and Mountain will surely become a blood sea slaughterhouse, dancing pavilion and singing stage, will be broken and ruined, and the land of Wuyue will probably not be able to recover within a few decades. Therefore, after thinking hard, the son decided the strategy of robbing Wu Yue.
This tactic, on the surface, was just to weaken Wu Yue's resistance, and it was also for Dinghai to confront Wu Yue for a long time. In fact, there are three more benefits. First, in order to worry about the Yong army’s re-landing, the Wu Yue family must eventually organize private soldiers against the Yong army, so that the Wu Yue family’s force can be eliminated in the battle; second, the two sides will fight for a long time, and they will forge a deep feud. Tragedy, dead and wounded, after Da Yong went south, he could be cleansed with the Wu Yue family’s reasons for resisting the king’s master. Under the cover of the nest, there would be no eggs. This move was just and fair. The Wu Yue family wanted to provoke a civil revolt. They will also not get the support of civilians who are tired of war; third, the son of the Jiaxing family will be taken to Putuo, which can destroy the family system within a few years and make it a force that meets the needs of Da Yong, and waits until Da Yong rules the world. After moving these people back to Wuyue, they became the foundation and support for Da Yong to rule Wuyue. In this way, the son can not only achieve the goal of cleaning the Wu Yue family, but also save the life and wealth of Wu Yue's millions of soldiers and civilians. If it is not for the hometown, why should the son take such pains and even not hesitate to bear notoriety.
It is the son who deliberately let Hu Yanshou see the power of Tianji Pavilion, and also to warn the emperor through him. Although the people of Wuyue have a good temperament, they have the essence of being light and daring to die. Since ancient times, the most assassin swordsman, Da Yongzong has destroyed the South Chu, but it is impossible for Jiangnan to be stable without ten years to appease the suppression. Yes, the son must be worried that the emperor would adopt a tough policy because of Wu Yue's resistance to the undercurrent, so he warned the emperor intentionally or unconsciously. It's just that, isn't the son giving himself another accusation of being a dead man and revealing his hidden strength, which makes me always feel a little uneasy. If the emperor intends to hide his bow, how can the son respond? "
I only feel that my heart is very happy. Although I have thought about these things thousands of times in my mind, I can’t tell the father of heaven and earth, my wife, relatives and friends, and I can’t talk about ghosts and gods. I can only be alone. Working hard, although Xiao Shunzi is close, I don't want to mess with his mind. These days, it's really bitter and unspeakable. Along the way north, although I didn’t see many outsiders~IndoMTL.com~, I still heard some people talking about the Yongjun’s abduction of Wu Yue. Most of the people mentioned regarded me as a treason and verbal abuse. In my mind, my heart is also miserable. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shunzi can know my heart without me expressing it. He has always been less concerned with the world in addition to martial arts. This time, he has bothered to think about it. He must be aware of the distress in my heart, so I expose my suffering and use it to comfort me. To me.
Qiang suppressed the turmoil in my heart, and I tried to calmly say: "This is nothing. After the world is ruled, the Tianji Pavilion should become the yellow flower of yesterday. In fact, those industries have already been allocated to the secret camp disciples, but the Tianji Pavilion is still hanging. No matter what the brand of, these powers are known to the emperor, and it doesn’t matter. After Da Yong has ruled the world, even if I have the strongest power, can I still beat the imperial court? It’s better to disperse these powers instead of accumulating force to protect myself. , So that it won’t arouse the suspicion of the royal family. Besides, the emperor’s temperament is not such a mean and unkind person. Don’t talk about it in the future."
Standing up, looking up with holding hands, under the brilliance of the pearls, I only feel that my mood is gradually calming down, thinking that there will be someone in the world who knows my deep heart, and that this person is walking with you day and night, like a flesh-and-blood Shunzi. The joy and joy in my heart is this small and dark secret room, which in my eyes seems to have become a bead palace. A smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I said: "Well, you can go out. If someone finds that you are always missing, there is no way to cover it for you if you want to come to Shanzi."
Xiao Shunzi's eyes flickered, lowered his eyes, turned and left the secret room, before closing the secret door, he heard a chuckle behind him, and seeing the son's depression disappeared, he was also happy in his heart and wanted to come next Young son will not feel difficult for the days. Thinking of this, he couldn't hide his smile and walked briskly outside the cabin.
