Hou Fangyu?" Maoxiang smiled and said, "Brother Jianheng, guess what."
"I guess?" Yan Yingyuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm here to be a lobbyist, to persuade you to surrender and become a slave, right?"
Maoxiang looked at Yan Yingyuan with surprised eyes and said, "Brother Jianheng, you are so awesome, you can guess all this."
Yan Yingyuan smiled and said, "It's actually easy to guess this. Please listen to my analysis. First of all, it is extremely suspicious for Hou Fangyu to enter the city at this time. Jiannu has just retreated with his front foot, and he entered the city with his rear foot. How could it be such a coincidence?
?The second one is that before Jiannu went south, Guide Mansion had just been blocked and everyone had equal land. Then, Hou Fangyu and you were classmates and friends in the Imperial College, and they were both leaders of Fushe. Finally, this person was killed last year
When he left Shanyang, he often spoke rudely to the Holy One, so I dare to conclude that he must have come to act as a lobbyist for Jiannu, and most of the Hou family have joined Jiannu."
Maoxiang was stunned when he heard this: "Brother Jianheng, after your analysis, it seems that it is not difficult to guess Hou Fangyu's intention."
"It's not difficult to guess." Yan Yingyuan smiled and added, "There are many things in this world. As long as you think carefully and study them carefully, and add some supporting evidence, it is not difficult to find out the truth."
"I have learned a lesson." Maoxiang bowed to the ground, "Hou Fangyu is really here to be a lobbyist. This thief has indeed taken refuge in Jiannu."
After a pause, he added: "If it weren't for our past friendship, I really wanted to arrest him directly, but even so, I sent someone to secretly monitor him to see if he would find anyone else in the city.
people."
Yan Yingyuan pondered for a moment and then said: "I guess he just came to find you."
"Just looking for me?" Maoxiang frowned and said, "You mean he came specifically for me?"
Yan Yingyuan said: "Whether Hou Fangyu came specifically for you is actually easy to detect. If he comes to you again, it means that my guess is true. Then you can just be conceited."
"Is it false?" Maoxiang said, "Brother Jianheng, don't always say half-sentences and leave half-sentences behind."
Yan Yingyuan said: "I heard people say that when the old slaves first started their troops in Liaodong, they especially liked to learn the tactics of alienation used by the Three Kingdoms. The slave chief Huang Taiji even used the alienation tactics to the extreme. This shows that the tradition of building slaves is useful."
Maoxiang suddenly said: "So you guess that Hou Fangyu is here to drive a wedge between you and me?"
"Nine times out of ten." Yan Yingyuan hit the knot hard and continued, "If Hou Fangyu really followed the order of the leader of the slave building and came to drive a wedge between you and me, this would be a good opportunity to use his plan."
Maoxiang said solemnly: "Are you saying that Jiannu hasn't given up yet?"
"It's only normal that Jiannu hasn't given up yet." Yan Yingyuan said, "Before, I always felt that something was wrong. I always felt that Jiannu shouldn't retreat so easily. But now I understand. It turns out that he wanted to create a divorce between us. Hehehe
, since he wants to create a estrangement, then we will use a trick to counter-inflict it on him."
Maoxiang also became interested now and asked, "Brother Jianheng, what should I do?"
"You don't have to do anything." Yan Yingyuan said, "Just wait until Hou Fangyu comes to find you."
After a pause, he continued: "Then no matter what Hou Fangyu says, don't agree to him, but don't say it completely, leave him some thoughts, and just hang him like this for half a month."
"Understood." Maoxiang said, "I'm good at this."
This is how Dong Xiaowan caught up with him.
…
In the room of Guide Guild Hall, Hou Fangyu and Fan Chengmo had a fierce quarrel. Of course, although the quarrel was fierce, both of them kept their voices to a minimum for fear of being heard.
Hou Fangyu: "Mao Bijiang has become a fool. Now he won't listen to anything, so there is no need to waste our efforts. Let's go back and report to the prince."
Fan Chengmo: "You didn't even listen to what I just said, did you? Do you know if we return without success, what kind of punishment will be waiting for you and me?"
Hou Fangyu: "I can only accept any punishment."
Fan Chengmo: "What if he was treated like an animal and beaten to death?"
Hou Fangyu: "Fan Chengmo, don't lie to me. Your Majesty will not do this."
Fan Chengmo: "Hou Fangyu, how many days have you been with him? Our Fan family has submitted to the Qing Dynasty since the 46th year of Wanli. It has been more than 27 years. I, Fan Chengmo, was wrapped with a white flag on the day I was born, so
Do you think I know Prince Yu better, or do you know him better? Listen to my advice, this matter must be done."
"But..." Hou Fangyu's brows were already frowning.
"There is no but." Fan Chengmo repeated again, "It must be done."
"Okay." Hou Fangyu said helplessly, "I'll just look for him tomorrow."
"When we meet tomorrow, you have to use your brain more." Fan Chengmo said, "Don't go up and tell everything. How can you be so open-minded in planning a divorce? You have to do it step by step, you know? Don't be in a hurry."
After a pause, he complained again: "Really, I still have to teach you these things."
"Okay, I understand." Hou Fangyu lost his breath and said, "Step by step."
Fan Chengmo hummed and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly."
Then Fan Chengmo blew out the oil lamp, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.
However, just a moment later, Hou Fangyu's suppressed roar sounded in the room: "Hey, hey, where are you touching? What do you want to do? Let me go, uh..."
…
The next day, Hou Fangyu found Maoxiang again.
Seeing Hou Fangyu come to the door, Maoxiang was secretly happy, but on the surface he said with a dark face: "Hou Fangyu, you still dare to come? Aren't you afraid that I will report you to Yan Yingyuan?"
Hou Fangyu felt happy when he heard Maoxiang call Yan Yingyuan by his name.
From Maoxiang's tone, it seems that the relationship between the two is not harmonious?
At that moment, Hou Fangyu said with a smile: "You can't do it, because you are from Maobijiang. Who in the whole of Nanjing, no, in the whole of Southern Zhili, doesn't know that Maobijiang is the most righteous scholar?"
"Stop trying to bully me with your high hat." Maoxiang said, "I am no longer the Mao Pijiang I used to be."
"Yes, I understand, you are now a scholar of the Prince of Qin." Hou Fangyu said, "But a scholar of the Prince of Qin is also a scholar. You can't even deny your old friends, don't you think so."
Maoxiang asked, "May I ask which country you are a scholar from?"
Hou Fangyu said: "Of course you are talking about the scholars of the Ming Dynasty."
Maoxiang asked: "A scholar from the Ming Dynasty actually worked as a lobbyist for Jiannu?"
"Brother Bijiang, we won't talk about this today, we will only talk about poetry and romance." Hou Fangyu changed the subject and said, "Even if you and I are brothers who really belong to two countries from now on, we can still be close friends, as was the case in ancient times.
There are precedents, such as Yang Hu and Lu Kang during the Three Kingdoms period, isn’t this the case?”
The expression on Maoxiang's face finally calmed down.
"That's what you said. We only talk about poetry and romance."
"That's what I said. We only talk about poetry and romance."
The two talked about a few lines of poetry first, and Hou Fangyu pretended to be casual and asked: "Brother Bijiang, how do you think Yan Yingyuan's poetry is? Is this person half as good as you?"
"He?" Mao Xiang said suddenly, "He is just a man with a rough grasp of writing and writing."
"Proficient in writing and calligraphy? Not that much." Hou Fangyu said, "I heard that he was born in Juren."
"He is a martial arts examiner." Maoxiang said, "Because he failed in the examination many times, he retreated to the martial arts examination. His reputation is just that of a student, no different from you and me."
"Hi." Hou Fangyu clapped his hands and said, "Turns out he's from Wuju."
Maoxiang waved his hand and said, "This man is vulgar, don't talk about him."
"Okay, don't tell me." When Hou Fangyu heard this, he felt even more happy.
It seems that there is a way. The relationship between Maoxiang and Yan Yingyuan is not unharmonious, but very unharmonious. In this case, it will become much easier to separate the two people, but there is no hurry in advance.
Anyway, Prince Yu's army won't come back so soon.
So he has plenty of time to implement the divorce plan.
…
On this day, Duduo had just led a group of banner men to loot the Dongtai Saltworks.
After retreating from Shanyang, Duduo immediately divided his 60,000 troops into twenty groups and attacked the two sides of the Yellow River (Huaihe River) and the towns and salt fields on the seaside.
There are only two purposes of this trip, to grab salt and to collect food.
To Duduo's disappointment, they did not grab much grain, but they did grab a lot of high-quality Huai salt.
Looking at the white salt filled with hundreds of carriages, Duduo finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, because the carriages were not loaded with salt, but with silver.
The salt is shipped back to Beijing and can be exchanged for silver.
If it is handed over to Fan Yongdou and the others, it can be sold at a higher price when transported to the Mongolian grasslands. The Huai salt alone can almost make up for the losses in the battle of Shanyang. Of course, the lost flags cannot be replaced. Flags are no better than leeks.
, leeks will grow back quickly after being cut, but if Qi Ding died in the battle, he will have to wait until the children grow up to make up for it.
He Luohui, who was accompanying him, was also very happy, but at the same time he was a little regretful: "I just didn't grab a few bags. Master, would you like to go to the south and have a look? Not far south, it seems that we will enter Yangzhou Prefecture."
Duduo was also a little moved, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's forget it."
Shanyang City had already beaten them to the point of breaking their muscles and bones. Yangzhou City was said to be stronger than Shanyang City. How many people had to die in battle to capture it? I'm afraid even if they all died in battle, they might not be able to capture it.
Therefore, it is better not to go deep into Yangzhou Prefecture easily.
After all, it is already the end of April and the weather is gradually getting warmer.
And the biggest feature of South Zhili is the crisscrossing rivers.
If after they go deep into Yangzhou, all the rivers thaw, and then they fail to raise ships in time, then it will really be a disaster for the sky and the earth.
Thinking of this, Duduo said again: "He Luohui, you immediately send out flying cavalry and ask people from all walks of life to carry supplies and rush to gather at Liulingtai Town, twenty miles east of Shanyang."
"Hey!" He Luohui responded respectfully.
Soon, dozens of flying knights scattered in all directions.
After receiving Duduo's military order, the other nineteen people who had been sent out gathered at Liulingtai carrying the captured people, livestock and supplies.
At this time, Hou Fangyu's rebellion against Maoxiang had entered the final stage.
After nearly half a month of preparation and testing, Hou Fangyu decided to show his trump card.
