Chapter 2747 Gui Zi Scroll The feast is coming
Being silenced by You Shilu's words, You Shigong didn't know how to argue with the other party for a while. He thought for a moment and then said: "It's too risky for you to want to do this now. Since there are others who are willing to do it, why not
Just wait for others to go first, why don't you take a look first and then talk?"
"Brother, it's not just any border town that thinks this way. This reduction of the army requires 400,000 layoffs in one breath. Who can bear it? Even if our Xuanfu is the elite of Gyeonggi Province, if we have 100,000 people at least, we will have to lay off 20,000 people, right?
This is probably the minimum requirement. Let me ask you, how do you cut it? Which movie do you cut? Which movie do you cut without any trouble?"
You Shigong was speechless.
To be honest, he had never thought about laying off his subordinates. He only thought about laying off his subordinates when the time came. He would wait and see what the situation was like. He couldn't bear to lay off even 10,000 people, let alone 20,000 people. How could he lay off them?
?No matter how you cut it, it won’t be fair.
Go make a fuss, You Shigong supports it, but if you want to push Xiao Feng to wear a yellow robe, this is a bit out of line, and You Shigong has never thought about it.
And will Chief Assistant Xiao Feng accept it? He is a scholar who was a Jinshi Shujishi and a Hanlin Academy scholar, not a martial artist!
But what You Shiwei, You Shilu and others said was an irritation to You Shigong.
Conglong was originally an adventure, just a gamble. He also believed that many people in the entire Jiubian and Ten Towns had this idea. It was no wonder that his two younger brothers were eager to try it.
"Besides you two, who else has this idea?" After a long time, You Shigong lowered his voice and asked.
"There are too many, but who is willing to tell the truth to us about this kind of thing, just like we can't tell the truth to them, everyone is testing each other, but Denglai Town must be the vanguard, Ji Town over there
, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu, plus Mao Chenglu, and Mao Wenlong of Liaodong, were all promoted purely by Xiao Feng's chief assistant. Who among the other town commanders looked up to him? They were all unconvinced by him as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and even
Even Chen Jisheng has become a Dongjiang general soldier. How can he not be happy when Xiao Feng is so kind to him? Now they are testing each other and waiting to see who will make the first move, but once it is finalized, they want to rush to make the first move.
That’s why we…”
You Shilu didn't hide it, and said frankly: "This is the power of Conglong, you have to be at the forefront, you have to be conspicuous so that people can remember it, otherwise it will be greatly compromised."
You Shilu's words are correct, and You Shigong is not stupid. Of course, he understands that to follow a dragon from a dragon, you have to go to the front to be remembered by the dragon. Those from behind who are waving flags and shouting will make less of an impression.
After pondering for a long time, You Shigong asked again: "In the Jingying camp, in Wenzhao, do you have..."
You Shilu and You Shiwei exchanged glances, knowing that their eldest brother was still tempted, and nodded: "Denglai Cao Bianjiao has contact with Jingying. We have also contacted Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen. Their attitude is ambiguous, but they have no objection, I guess.
When the time comes, just turn a blind eye..."
You Shigong knew that He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji were Feng Ziying's confidants. After the defeat of the Santun camp, it was Feng Ziying who saved He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji and even reused them. Now they have become the pillars of the Fifth Army camp.
If both He and Yang had this intention, then entering the city would really not be a problem.
Cao Bianjiao was also involved. I'm afraid Cao Wenzhao is also very entangled now. Thinking of this, You Shigong felt much more at ease.
"Shi Gong, please don't go. You can help me organize things. Shi Lu, you can weigh it yourself. Don't be too pushy, but you don't have to lag behind. You should be measured in what you do, but one thing is that you can't hurt Jingzhong."
The common people, Xiao Feng, the chief minister, are most taboo about things that hurt the common people. As for the other things, you can think about it..."
You Shigong finally relaxed.

Standing on the pier, Liu Baichuan looked northward uncertainly.
It is a busy season on the canal, and there is an endless stream of ships coming and going. It feels a bit like thousands of sails racing and thousands of boats competing for the current.
Xuzhou is indeed a good place, but it is a pity that it has become a retirement place for soldiers.
Liu Baichuan knew from the moment he learned that the Mongols were beginning to stir up troubles and the imperial court wanted to disarm, that this contradiction would break out sooner or later.
Xiao Feng's influence on the scholars is still not enough, or in other words, countless scholars are full of prejudice and dissatisfaction with Xiao Feng's rapid rise. If Qi Yongtai was still there, perhaps this conflict would not be so intense, at least the Beidishi
The person's side could still be suppressed, but once Qi Yongtai died and Qiao Yingjia fell out again, the relationship quickly faded.
Liu Dongyang's letter is still in the bag.
The ambition and murderous intent revealed between the lines are undisguised.
This guy is like this, his hatred for civil servants has reached the extreme.
If this guy was really on Cao Wenzhao's side, Liu Baichuan even doubted whether this guy would slaughter all the important officials in the capital.
Fortunately, this guy is far away in Shanxi and is out of reach. But even so, this guy is still restless and wants to send an army to Beijing.
Shanxi Town is not close to central Beijing, and to enter Beijing, you have to pass through Datong Town and Xuanfu Town. Starting from Ningwuguan, take Daizhou, Pingxingguan, Lingqiu, Guangchang and Zijingguan to reach Yizhou.
The capital is not far away.
Since Liu Dongyang has written to him, the implication is self-evident that he will not change what he has decided, and this also means urging him to make a decision.
Liu Baichuan smiled bitterly, could he stay out of it?
If he doesn't send troops, will the officials in the capital think that he is not one of Xiao Feng's chief ministers?
It turns out that this lineage coming out of the northwest has long been branded with the Feng family, and this is a trace that cannot be eradicated.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about, just do it.
What a big deal, if the sky falls, Chief Feng will still be there to support it.
Dong Yang sent his nephew to go out, and his own nephew could also lead the army.
As for whether to present the yellow robe or support the chief assistant, it depends on the situation. It is mainly Xiao Feng's chief assistant's mind. It is difficult to grasp now.
*******
Wang Ziteng could feel that Niu Jizong was a bit old, and the changes in his body could not be concealed. Although the guy's eyes were still shining brightly, his steps no longer had the vigor and agility of the past.
However, everything was revealed in his eyes. While Wang Ziteng sighed, he also had to admit that this guy was quite determined not to give up until he achieved his goal.
"What did Feng Tang say?" Niu Jizong asked immediately as soon as he entered the door: "Isn't this guy still pushing and blocking at this time?"
"Not to mention, this guy is really a tortoise. He just refuses to come forward. He only says that he will confiscate his family and exterminate his family for this kind of thing. Moreover, he has retired now and he can't make the decision on his son's affairs."
Wang Ziteng shook his head and saw that Niu Jizong was a little angry. He smiled: "But I think Feng Tang's attitude has nothing to do with the overall situation. What he said is right. He can't influence Feng Ziying at all now. His connections and subordinates can't influence him anymore."
Instead of listening to him, we have to listen to Feng Ziying. The replacement of the Feng family has been completed."
"That's best. Sometimes I get angry when I see old man Feng Tang caring for his grandson. We are cheering for the Feng family, but he doesn't get angry. Isn't this the opposite?" Niu Jizong
He said angrily: "Feng Ziying is hiding in the house and pretending to be dead. Who are we shouting and jumping up and down for?"
Wang Ziteng said nonchalantly: "For whom? For him, but also for ourselves. If the status of warriors is not improved, we martial artists will never get ahead. Feng Ziying can advance, attack, retreat or defend. Of course he is not in a hurry."
"That's not necessarily true. Isn't he really interested in fighting Mongolia? Otherwise, why would he tell us? Has he finally experienced the hardships of fighting wits and courage with these rotten civil servants?" Niu Jizong said with disdain on his face.
Only now do I think about how good our warriors are, what have we been doing?"
"I can't blame him. He couldn't establish the Governor's Office or the Privy Council with just one word. This is reducing the power of the civil servants. He will be criticized by the civil servants for raising any proposal. He dares to risk the power of the world so easily.
No? Let's wait until his prestige reaches the level of Qi Yongtai. We also have to be patient." Wang Ziteng's eyes were a little more hopeful, "You can always wait. After this time, I think there is hope.
.”
Niu Jizong also knew that he could not become fat after eating one meal, but this time Feng Ziying should learn a lesson. Did he really think that these civil servants were of the same mind as him?
Look at the time when he was "sick", the examination method was put on hold to be re-examined and adjusted, and the reform of the imperial examination was completely terminated. A group of people said it was inappropriate and thought it needed to be overhauled. It's the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
, the use of troops against Mongolia was directly rejected, but on the contrary, disarmament was carried out with great enthusiasm, which also angered all military personnel.
Even the policy to reward industry and commerce is only on paper now, with no concrete strategy. There are constant disputes within the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Commerce, and there are also objections from the Metropolitan Procuratorate outside. It gives the outside world the feeling that there is almost no relationship between the DPRK and China.
It's just such a mess that nothing can be done except disarmament.
"Then what else can we do now?" Niu Jizong still felt a little unfinished.
"To add fuel to the flames, if we can write some more articles in those newspapers and magazines, it might relieve Ziying a little bit of pressure." Wang Ziteng put his hands on the case with a look of fascination on his face, "I just want to take a look.
How should these civil servants deal with the large armies from various border towns entering Beijing? Can we do a plowing and sweeping of caves? Well, it's a bit wishful thinking, but it will definitely make these civil servants remember and stop being so arrogant."
Niu Jizong and Wang Ziteng watched all this with expectation. As the days passed, they tried their best to do what they had to do. They also contacted everyone they could contact in the towns, including some in the Beijing camp.
The old team also said hello. This was something we understood immediately and we just added to the fun.
Just looking forward to the arrival of this feast.
