Zhao Fuyi glanced at Yan Sikong in a daze, and waved him to hand it over.
Yan Sikong walked over.
Zhao Fuyi spread out the letter, read it quickly, nodded, said "yes" emphatically, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Sikong again.
Zhao Fuyi had already heard that Feng Ye and Yan Sikong had a good relationship, and thought that Feng Ye brought this little Hanlin here just as a favor, to give him a chance to make meritorious deeds, so that he could be promoted in the future, seeing this little Hanlin so alert today , the written official letter is impeccable, no wonder he was able to give lectures at the banquet and read it for the prince, it seems that I have underestimated him. Zhao Fuyi praised: "Your Excellency Yan is so talented, thoughtful and thoughtful, he is really a formidable future generation."
"The general praised it absurdly. This is the job of a subordinate official."
Xu Yan's face darkened, and he remained silent.
Zhao Fuyi narrowed his eyes, and carefully looked at Yan Sikong: "You and I... Have you met somewhere before?"
Yan Sikong laughed and said: "But the day when His Majesty sacrificed to heaven?" Ten years ago, he and Zhao Fuyi met once in Guangning City, he didn't believe that this person still remembered.
"No..." Zhao Fuyi shook his head again, "Maybe I misremembered, Master Yan was born with such a face, ordinary people have seen it, and I'm afraid they will never forget it."
Yan Sikong smiled and cupped his hands.
Leaving the tent of the Chinese army, Xu Yan said flatly: "Master Yan can predict the future and guess what General Zhao is thinking. I admire you very much."
Yan Sikong smiled and said: "I don't dare to do it, I just worry about the war day and night, my heart is so disturbed, I have to express it in my pen, I didn't expect it to come in handy, it's just a crooked attack."
Xu Yan snorted softly: "It sounds like Master Yan is even more magical."
"Master Xu just laughed." Yan Sikong blocked Xu Yan back with jealous provocation lightly, walked a few steps quickly, and left him behind.
This person failed the Jinshi examination for many years, and he is still a Juren, but because he is Liang Guang's nephew, he was able to stay in Beijing to seek employment. At this time, Liang Guang was imprisoned, and he was more flustered than anyone else. Yan Sikong didn't bother to argue with him.
After waiting for two days, Bao Yunyong wrote back, sincerely agreeing to send Liang Guang back, and explaining that killing Liang Guang's entourage was a misunderstanding, but he didn't mention anything about recruiting security. An illiterate person like him couldn't write decent correspondence documents. Just as they guessed, Bao Yunyong had advisers by his side.
The next day, Bao Yunyong sent Liang Guang back, which was both reasonable and unexpected, making one wonder what Bao Yunyong was planning.
Liang Guang was obviously treated courteously in Kuizhou City, and his hair was not messed up even though the three people with him lost their heads. His face was gloomy and he kept silent all the time. When he returned to the camp, he asked Zhao Fuyi to retreat everyone and talked with him in secret.
Yan Sikong pulled Feng Ye to a dark place, and said in a low voice, "You came out of the camp to pick up Mr. Liang just now?"
Feng Ye nodded: "What on earth does this Bao Yunyong want to do? Did he really let Mr. Liang back so easily?"
"He's delaying time." Yan Sikong narrowed his eyes, "He has no intention of pacifying us at all, but he also doesn't want to confront us head-on. If we delay for a day, it will consume my day's food and grass."
"That's right, what should we do now?"
Yan Sikong thought for a moment, seemed to be talking to Feng Ye, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "What is Bao Yunyong most worried about? What is he most wanting?"
"Huh?" Feng Ye lowered his head, "Kong'er, what are you talking about? Speak up."
Yan Sikong nodded his shoulder: "Don't make a mistake when you are outside."
Feng Ye coughed twice, held back his laughter, and called out in a tone of voice: "Master Yan."
Yan Sikong raised his head: "What Bao Yunyong is most afraid of is the old Kuizhou army. His rebel army had to rebel because they were about to starve to death. How many people in the old Kuizhou army wanted to rebel? They had no choice but to defeat Bao Yunyong if they were killed because of the defense."
"Bao Yunyong had expected this early on, so he killed Master Liang's followers and imprisoned him. The spies sent by General Zhao have not been trusted yet. Kuizhou's troops are already under Bao Yunyong's control. With the support of King Liang, I'm afraid this matter..."
"King Liang, Bao Yunyong, the former Ministry of Kuizhou..." Yan Sikong suddenly smiled, "I have a plan."
"Oh?"
Yan Sikong looked around, and said in a low voice: "We sent spies pretending to be King Liang's people to contact the old Kuizhou Ministry, and then let Bao Yunyong know on purpose, Bao Yunyong must be afraid that King Liang would want to draw his salary from the bottom of the pot, and even You can send envoys there again to harass their eyes and ears, and then... "
"Then what?"
"Besieged the city, summoned the Luoyang army, completely surrounded Kuizhou, cut off the connection between Bao Yunyong and the king of Liang, and said that the king of Liang had already gone south to take Jinling, and left him here as bait to contain our army. At this time, Bao Yunyong had Kuizhou's former troops are in trouble, and there are large armies besieging the city, so whether he advances or retreats, it is in our favor."
"Then what about King Liang? How to make him refuse to save Bao Yunyong?"
"It's very simple. Surround and not attack. If we don't do anything for a day, King Liang will not act rashly."
Feng Ye agreed: "Good plan, as long as Bao Yunyong believes that King Liang has abandoned him, then this battle will definitely be won."
Yan Sikong said: "In fact, this is our army's strategy from the beginning - divide and break, but now the situation is more complicated, and we need to deal with it in an extraordinary way."
"That's right, if the alliance between these two thieves is not broken, our army can't send troops no matter what, otherwise we will definitely lose." Feng Ye's eyes were full of rewards, "Konger, you are always so smart."
Yan Sikong smiled and said: "General Zhao and Lord Liang will surely come up with a clever plan, we will discuss it in the council."
"I heard that you also wrote the official letter to Bao Yunyong?"
"As a clerk, isn't it my duty?"
Feng Ye pursed his lips and smiled, seeing no one around, quickly sipped Yan Sikong's face, and said with a low smile: "Sometimes, I really hope that only I know your goodness, instead of the whole world seeing it."
Yan Sikong said with a smile: "How can I be so good, only you, maybe it's because I've been watching it for a long time."
Feng Ye raised his chin triumphantly: "That's right, my people, from childhood to adulthood, are good in everything."
Yan Sikong looked at Fengye's domineering and high-spirited appearance, like a lake under the scorching sun, shimmering with waves, like stars in the daytime, so bright, so dazzling, this is what everyone in the world admires. It's good to see, but for him, everything is just a fake.
—
After the sunset, Yan Sikong was summoned by Zhao Fuyi to the tent of the Chinese army. In the tent, there were already three trusted generals of Liang Guang, Xu Yan, Feng Ye and Zhao Fuyi.
Zhao Fuyi said: "Lord Yan, sit down."
"Thank you, General." Yan Sikong sat beside Feng Ye.
"I discussed with Mr. Liang for half a day, and heard about your plan from Shizi, and it actually coincided with our thoughts. There are so many people talking, I was afraid of leaking the secret, so I only called you and others to discuss this matter. "
Yan Sikong clasped his hands and said: "What is the virtue and ability of this officer, the general's trust in this officer, this officer will never forget it."
"You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we all came here to quell the rebellion. You have outstanding talents and learning, and you should be reused. You don't have to be polite, Lord Yan."
"Thank you General."
Liang Guangdao: "My lord Yan, I will also discuss with my lord Zong Bing to find another way to separate Bao Yunyong and King Liang."
"I don't know what Master Liang has seen and heard during the few days in Kuizhou City?"
"Bao Yunyong regards me very strictly. I can't get in touch with any of the old Kuizhou ministries. However, I bought one of his guards with a lot of money. According to this person, a large part of the old Kuizhou ministries do not accept Bao Yunyong as a reckless rogue. , Those who dare to openly resist have long been dead and imprisoned, and most of the rest are obedient and obedient, they would rather go to King Liang than be ordered by Bao Yunyong."
"It's exactly what we want."
"That's right, we will take advantage of this to make Bao Yunyong and Liang Wang mutual suspicion." Zhao Fuyi said, "It's not appropriate to just let spies complete this matter. I'm worried that it will be self-defeating, and Bao Yunyong will expose our trick."
"I also mean this." Liang Guang said in a deep voice, "Bao Yunyong seems to be just a rough and rough man, but he has a subtlety in his roughness, and he is very good at manipulating people's hearts, relying on the word 'loyalty' to deceive the people under him The most important thing is that he has a counselor. It is said that this person was punished for cheating in the examination room and could not be an official for life. If it were not for this person, Bao Yunyong would not have cut off my entourage immediately and sent me to prison .”
Zhao Fuyi pondered and said: "Isn't this back to the original problem? If you can't get in touch with the old Kuizhou Ministry, everything will be in vain. But there is no news of the people I sent out so far. I'm afraid it's more or less auspicious."
"The lower officials think that it is not necessary to have direct contact with the former Ministry of Kuizhou."
"Do you have a good plan?"
Yan Sikong pursed his lips and glanced at Feng Ye. Just as Feng Ye was still pondering the meaning of Yan Sikong's eyes, he had already stood up, bowed towards Zhao Fuyi and said, "I would like to help you Messenger, go to Kuizhou City, Bao Yunyong for a while."
Feng Ye stared straight at his eyes.
Zhao Fuyi seemed to be waiting for Yan Sikong's words. His expression was not surprised, but he just leaned forward: "You... want to go to Kuizhou? Do you know what happened to Mr. Liang? Are you not afraid of dying?"
"Your Majesty knows it, but it is my duty to share His Majesty's concerns and solve the problems of the people."
