Chapter 66: The Dog-Headed Military Advisor Jiang Zhongda
When he was at Dayaoqiu, Jiang Yao used sword pills and puppets to kill the spy Ji Han, and then sent a message to report to Lord Qing.
Qingzhu replied: "Unexpectedly, this happened. Han died unjustly and nearly ruined Zhongda's life."
This is evident in his character.
Jiang Yao sat upright and listened quietly to everyone's speech without saying a word.
When you are in a circle, you must not be transparent, but you must not draw attention to yourself. Cherish your words and speak only when it is time to speak, and your words will definitely hit the mark.
But I heard the first-class retainer Wen Xin say: "The Jin Clan is so evil that they want to fight the Lu Clan under the pretext of not sending a single gold soldier to help. Even if they have resources, they don't even have a piece of spiritual jade."
"Unfortunately, the gold master is still the in-law of the lord, but he did not save him and just stood aside. When I went to the Jin clan as an envoy, I was given a cold reception, so I knew that things were not harmonious."
The retainers of the Dushan tribe who were sent as envoys also had angry expressions on their faces, "My lord, the Dushan tribe has eaten a lot of weights and is determined to join the Meng clan in attacking Daqing. They naively thought that Daqing was going to die. How could they?"
Are you willing to give up? In my opinion, we should send out partial troops to destroy the Dushan tribe first, and then let go and deal with the Meng army."
"Their poison masters assisted the Meng army, causing Daqing to suffer repeated losses. We were defeated again and again. We must deal with them first."
Lan Sheng also had a sad look on his face, "My lord, now I, Daqing, have lost three battles, lost one county, and lost 30% of our financial resources, which has caused people's hearts to wander. And the Mengdu Allied Forces are aggressive. Without reinforcements, Daqing will be really in danger.
"
"What do you think, my ministers, should we send people to seek peace with the Meng clan, call off the troops and make a truce, and temporarily cede Kuaiwei County?"
Jiang Yao laughed secretly when he heard this. He didn't expect that these retainers would also open their mouths and keep saying "I am Daqing" now. It seemed that it was really poisonous.
So, will it spread to the Jin family, and then the people of the Jin family call themselves "I am a big gold"?
interesting.
Everyone spoke one after another, but there was no suggestion that could save the crisis.
Even the first general of the Qing Army, Yin Zhu in the late Wuzhen period, was frowning at this time and was at a loss to do anything.
Master Qing was very disappointed and snorted coldly: "There are many retainers in the palace, but no one can share the worries of me. If my ten thousand year old Qing Dynasty foundation is destroyed in one day, what will you do?"
All the retainers held their breath together, as silent as cicadas. The silence in the main hall was so terrifying that you could hear a pin drop.
When Master Qing saw this, his expression became even more sinister.
But when the palace was full of retainers who dared not speak, and the atmosphere in the palace was extremely depressed, suddenly a clear and clear voice sounded unhurriedly: "My lord, I heard what everyone said and was enlightened, but I have some shallow opinions.
"
The faces of Lord Qing and all the retainers were slightly relaxed.
"Zhongda, just say what you have to say." The aloof Qingzhu's tone became much gentler. He really didn't expect that this young man would actually have something to say.
"Nuo." Jiang Yao stood up, leaning on the snake staff, "Lord, please take a look."
After saying that, he actually handed over a brief letter.
What?
All the retainers were stunned.
They always spoke directly when speaking and discussing matters. How could they write their words on slips and show them to the lord?
Qingzhu immediately realized that Jiang Zhongda was worried that there were spies in the palace, so he wrote it instead of saying it.
This way of giving advice is quite new.
After unfolding it, there were only a few words. Qingzhu was a little surprised in his heart, but his face showed a look of disappointment, "Zhongda's plan is too humiliating. You don't have the shame to say it in public. Do I have the shame to do it?"
Everyone thought, no wonder Jiang Yao didn't say it in public, and it was also because his method was too humiliating. But it seemed that the lord would definitely not adopt it.
Jiang Yao's heart was like a mirror. How could his "memorial" contain the slightest hint of humiliation? Master Qing said this, of course it was a cover-up.
Obviously, Lord Qing suspected that there were spies among his retainers.
He would probably adopt his three strategies, or in other words, Qingzhu would have done so.
Why is ginger medicine so actively sold?
Because at this time he and Qing Clan share weal and woe.
If Qing Clan is finished, his peaceful days will be over again.
More importantly, he wanted to make contributions, earn a fief, and live freely on the fief.
"My lord, please forgive me. It was my subordinate Meng Lang who made a bad idea." Jiang Yao looked ashamed.
Qingzhu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Will you gain anything from going to the Great Medicine Hill?" He changed the subject, "The enemy's poison domain is very powerful, and the solution to it will probably fall on Zhongda."
Jiang Yao complained: "I only found some herbs that can break the poison domain, but I found nothing. Please forgive me, my lord. I will do my best to study the method of breaking the poison domain."
While the two were talking, they had already exchanged glances, and Jiang Yao felt even more determined.
Next, Lord Qing ordered the meeting to adjourn, and then called a few names and asked these people to stay and discuss secretly.
Among them, there is ginger medicine.
In addition to Jiang Yao, there are five other people including Lan Sheng, Yin Zhu, and Han Cang, four Wuzongs, and one Wuzhen. Only Jiang Yao is a poor warrior.
Of course, he is a second-class pharmacist and a disciple of the Medicine Saint. This status is enough to offset his lack of cultivation.
Arriving at the back hall, Master Qing ordered the spiritual wine to be placed, and then said directly: "Zhongda, you can speak out your suggestion directly at this time."
The other five people smiled together. Of course they knew that Jiang Yao's letter during the meeting in the main hall was definitely not that simple.
Jiang Yao shook his feather fan and said shockingly: "My intention is to attack Zheng!"
What? Attack Zheng?
The five ministers looked shocked. They did not expect that Jiang Yao actually suggested attacking the Zheng clan.
At present, the combined forces of the Meng clan and the Dushan tribe have invaded the territory of the Qing clan. Although this is part of the lord's plan, at least on the surface, Daqing is indeed at a disadvantage and is completely passive.
The Lord's plan is actually quite risky. After all, given the strength of the Qing Army, no one is sure whether the plan can be successfully completed.
Once it fails, the consequences will be catastrophic.
At this juncture, how can we divide our forces to attack Zheng? Although the Zheng clan is at war with the Gan clan, it is not an easy bargain.
However, the five of them are all important ministers, so naturally they will not refute immediately, but will listen patiently.
Jiang Yao pointed his feather fan north and continued:
"I heard that the main force of the Zheng Army and the Gan clan were in a fierce battle, with each other winning and losing, and the troops in the territory were empty. More importantly, the Zheng clan never expected that Daqing, in such a critical situation, would not resist the Meng clan and the Dushan tribe.
, but attacked Zheng without any sense!"
"This is a surprise. With the troops of the Gan clan, I captured Zhangtai County of the Zheng clan and used Zhangtai County to make up for the loss of Kuowei County I lost. This is how to make up for the losses in the north and gain chestnuts from the fire."
When the five people heard this, their eyes lit up.
This strategy is reliable!
If the north is lost and the south is compensated, the success of this approach is very likely.
However, Han Cang quickly raised questions: "Zhongda, it seems possible to lose the north and make up for the south. But if we deploy troops to attack Zheng Fang Zhangtai County, then we will have fewer troops in Daqing, and we will lose another county.
. Speaking of which, it’s not an advantage.”
"That's not right." The first general, Yin Zhu, a master of martial arts, took the initiative to brainstorm the strategy of supplementing ginger medicine:
"Zhangtai County is the largest and richest county of the Zheng clan, and it is also the main city of the three counties of the Zheng clan. By winning Zhangtai County, we can almost make up for the losses of the two local counties."
"As long as I don't lose my largest and richest Qinghuang County, I won't suffer any loss! Not only is this strategy feasible, it will also be more conducive to my lord's plan."
Master Qing smiled and said, "The strategy of a few people is very risky. Originally, the chance of winning was at most 60%. But if combined with Zhongda's strategy of losing the north and making up for the south, the chance of winning can reach 80%. If Zhongda finds a way to crack the poison domain,
That’s a must-win situation.”
"If we succeed, I, Daqing, can destroy the Meng Clan in one fell swoop, divide the Zheng Clan equally with the Gan Clan, and be promoted to the second-class martial arts clan."
"Zhongda, please continue."
"Yes." Jiang Yao shook his feather fan slightly and continued to talk. He found that in terms of military strategy, this world that believed in the supremacy of force was really not as developed as ancient China.
"The second strategy is to borrow a knife to kill someone. But this knife needs to be borrowed without leaving any trace, so no one knows..."
