Chapter 1070 1070: Fanning the flames (Part 2) [Please vote]
Ning Yan originally thought Shen Tang would be angry about this.
Shen Tang suddenly laughed out loud.
This kind of smile reaches the bottom of the eyes, rather than laughing in anger.
Ning Yan was puzzled: "Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
The smile on Shen Tang's lips could no longer be suppressed.
"Why doesn't Tunan smile? Don't you think this is interesting? Wu Zhaode must have been a grindstone in his previous life, otherwise why would he be so recruiting? Brother Zhaode, Brother Zhaode, how bad of a person are you to be like this? He was not a good monarch and forced Gong Su to take away his righteousness. His husband was unqualified and the couple separated. He failed even more as a father. His two sons killed each other because of his confusion. Now there is Mei Jinghe. At least we are still alive. With the past of 'Tangdi's deep love', we shouldn't laugh at him like this..."
She is professional at holding back laughter, unless she can't help it.
Following Shen Tang's words, she looked over Wu Xian's bad debts and felt really happy. Thinking of Wu Xian's early reputation, Ning Yan could only sigh in her heart: "I think Wu Zhaode was also a hero..."
She remembered that Wu Xian came to recruit Xingning three times.
If Wu Xian hadn't demoted Zheng Qiao to nothing three times in a row - at that time, Xingning felt guilty towards Zheng Qiao, blaming his junior brother's misfortune and depravity on the senior brother's negligence - judging from Wu Zhaode's courtesy, virtuous corporal, righteousness and heroic spirit at that time, Xing Ning may not let go and help. If Xing Ning was not interested, how could he give Wu Xian two chances after he stepped on the thunder for the first time?
Because of this, the contrast between before and after is even more embarrassing.
At that time, Wu Xian didn't dare to think that he would be like this many years later. He had no ambitions and was completely reduced to a puppet playing power. He could play well, but he didn't play well. He made compromises time and time again. The temporary stability of power, and compromise will inevitably lead to deepening constraints and fall into some kind of vicious circle.
If it were Wu Xian back then, he would have had the courage to destroy a cauldron and sink a boat, but now he only knows how to cut out flesh and mend sores.
Shen Tang said: "A good man must not mention how brave he was back then."
She added: "But he is not a good man anymore."
In addition to being "brave back then" that can be used as a talking point, how much does Wu Zhaode have to boast about today? What should he be praised for? Praise that he lost his wife and two sons in a stupid way?
As long as he doesn't flip back and forth like a seesaw, changing orders from morning to night, he won't force his brothers and sisters to fight against each other. If he's not close, if he's a little further, what will Gongsu's righteousness gain?
"Mei Jinghe wants to complete the consummation ceremony, so Wu Zhaode will definitely die." Shen Tang rolled his eyes, obviously planning something. She has never been a generous character, on the contrary, she is very grudgey, otherwise why would she do it for The matter of Qin Li and Zhao Feng had such a bad impression on Wu Xian? How many times did he stumble upon Wu Xian?
Not only does she hold a grudge, she also doesn't like to be taken advantage of.
Even Mei Meng's "stealing the country" itself is beneficial to her.
Shen Tang had an idea in mind.
He smiled and said: "After all, it was a 'Tang Di deep love' scene. I really can't bear that Brother Zhaode died in an unknown way. If there is a chance, we should let him be a clear ghost instead of being confused all the time."
Ning Yan asked: "Now?"
If he told Wu Xian now that someone around him wanted to step on his corpse to gain power, Wu Xian would not believe it at all. Instead, he would be sure that this was a clumsy plan by the Lord to sow discord, and he was afraid it would not work. Kang Guo fought with Gao Guo again. Only by fighting and believing can there be ghosts.
Shen Tang shook his head and responded: "Of course not now, but when Wu Xian is defeated, give him a chance to make him understand. It would be better if you can destroy the promotion smoothly... Tunan, do you know how to destroy the success of the promotion? ceremony?"
The only reference she knew was Jiang Sheng. Back then, Qi Shan disguised herself as Xian Deng's wife and stabbed Jiang Sheng in the back unprepared. Xian Deng failed that time and was trapped in Luxia County. Year. Is there anything we can learn from this example?
Ning Yan thought for a while and got an idea.
"Just destroy the most critical link."
"For example?"
Ning Yan said firmly: "Mei Jinghe's way of being a scribe will only be successful when she personally kills the 'little thief who steals hooks and steals the country and rebellious ministers'. The former can be replaced by any little thief, but the latter is the most critical existence in the entire ceremony." .This person must be beheaded by her own hands. If this person is beheaded by others, commits suicide, or inherits the throne legitimately and does not meet the status of a 'rebellious minister and traitor', Mei Jinghe's ceremony of completing the Way of the Scholar will be considered a failure. .”
Shen Tang was surprised: "Is it that simple?"
Ning Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Precisely because it is extremely easy to destroy, all the literati and scribes who have been able to perfect the way of scribes throughout the ages are the lucky ones blessed by God. Perfection is not an easy thing."
"That is to say, if I capture Wu Zhaode and whoever Mei Jinghe chooses to be the 'rebellious minister', I will ask Wu Zhaode to write an imperial edict and pass the throne to whomever. As long as she is one step ahead of her, I will succeed?"
Ning Yan nodded: "That's the truth."
He added: "But we must also be prepared to be prepared for her."
Which literary scholar is not a cunning rabbit with three holes?
If the guess is wrong, the winner is Mei Meng.
"Well, let's take a gamble."
As long as she didn't bet with Kang Jishou, her luck would not be bad.
Although Ning Yan seemed to be in good spirits, Shen Tang still urged her to rest early. When Ning Yan returned to the resettlement camp, as soon as she loosened her waistband, soldiers sent a bunch of objects. These objects looked similar to each other no matter how they looked. It's armor, and every piece of it is quite heavy on the hand.
Ning Yan picked it up and weighed it.
From the shoulder swallowing, we can roughly infer that this armor is made of strong materials. The whole set weighs about fifty kilograms, which is standard heavy armor. This does not include the weapons. The weapon sent by the soldier is an overly long knife, and the blade alone is He is taller than Ning Yan. Was it sent to the wrong person?
This heavy armor looked brand new, with no knife marks on the armor.
Which general was supposed to be rewarded, but ended up sending him here?
Ning Yan lowered her shoulders and signaled the soldiers to close the big box: "Send it away. Don't be so careless next time."
Although brave warriors can create their own armor, and when their strength reaches a certain level, the defensive capabilities and flexibility of the armor are far better than the armor made by craftsmen, but it does not mean that generals do not need armor. This kind of armor is often given a special meaning of glory. .A pair of armor is expensive to make, and the armor you are given as a reward can be regarded as a family heirloom.
If the military commander who was sent to the wrong person knew about this, I am afraid he would be unhappy. But the soldier said: "It's not wrong, this is from the servant."
Ning Yan almost thought she was hearing hallucinations.
The soldier repeated it again.
Ning Yan: "..."
In addition to this armor and surprisingly heavy weapons, there are also several brochures with rough paintings. The people in the brochures only have simple lines. It took Ning Yan a long time to identify them before she realized that the little figures with the lines were showing moves. Just by looking at the painters, she could tell who the brochures were from. hand.
"This is?"
Even though I recognized it, I still had to confirm it.
"The Lord drew it with his own hands."
Every literary scholar in the military has a copy.
Ning Yan: "..."
Her mind is a little messed up and needs to be sorted out.
The explanation of this matter is very easy to understand. To put it simply, there is an old man with weird abilities among the enemies. In order not to be caught off guard by the opponent, everyone must familiarize themselves with the reversed skills in advance. Ning Yan, as a Wenxin scribe She also needs to learn how to fight hand to hand. This armor allows her to adapt in advance.
Ning Yan: "..."
Shen Tang smiled a little awkwardly: "I was originally worried that the number of brave warriors after the inversion was too small, and Tunan arrived too soon. Your swordsmanship is much better than Wangchao and the others, so I might count on you to carry the lead and charge into the battle. Climb and kill the general first."
Ning Yan: "..."
Although the physique of Wenxin scholars is much better than that of ordinary people, it does not mean that they can wear more than fifty kilograms of heavy armor, carry a forty or fifty kilograms of swords, and kill everyone. Just take two steps and dance a few swords. , she felt that her underwear was wet with sweat.
"Did Tunan study those brochures?"
Within a quarter of an hour, the exquisite and elegant literary scholar was already gray and dusty. Sweat was dripping from his forehead, leaving traces of dust on his face. Armor cannot be taken away like martial armor. Ning Yan has to ask for martial arts if she wants to rest. Help her hold it up to reduce the burden caused by the weight of the armor: "Did the Lord draw the album?"
"It's a move I wrote down after careful observation." I asked others about their reading experience, but no one responded. "I plan to take the essence and make it into a martial arts secret book, which will definitely be famous for future generations."
Maybe it can also create a myth of martial arts magic.
"...But fighting is not about fighting with each other."
Not to mention the master's painting skills, these moves are of little benefit to the fighting generals in front of the battle. Few famous generals in the past and present have won with skills. Their killing moves are all instincts honed in life and death, and they pursue a goal. Kill to death.
She felt that the brochure painted by the master was of little use.
Shen Tang: "..."
Ning Yan sighed as she spoke.
"How well do you understand the words and spirits of those scribes?"
Shen Tang: "..."
There is no need for the master to answer. Just by looking at her erratic eyes, you can tell that the master is also fishing. She is very similar to her own daughter who relies on her amazing talent and fast learning speed. Sometimes she will sneak away in the middle of studying. She will feel guilty if she is caught. Look around.
It took Ning Yan two days to basically adapt to heavy armor.
Although her body skills are still a bit cumbersome, they are decent. According to Bai Su's evaluation, Ning Yan's martial arts talent is much better than those of Gu Chi. Teaching Gu Chi can make her sick, but teaching Ning Yan can make her sick. Don't worry too much, it would be a pity not to practice martial arts.
"It would be great if I could cultivate both civil and military skills." Bai Su sighed.
Ning Yan is more generous: "You can't chew off more than you can chew."
She only stayed in the martial arts crash course for two days. It wasn't that Ning Yan was transferred to other battlefields, or that the martial arts crash course didn't come in handy in the end, but that she "graduated" after joining the martial arts crash course for two days - —Only because Wu Xian gave Shen Tang a fighting message.
Shen Tang almost lost his composure when he heard the news and couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "Wu Zhaode finally couldn't hold it in anymore?"
A battle is invited, and the two armies confront each other.
"Why so sudden?"
Could it be that there is something bad in the stomach?
As everyone knows, Wu Xian did this out of help.
Shen Tang dragged him here by attacking in the east and west. Half of Tianhai County was lost. The troops who went to sneak attack Shangnan have not received any good news yet. He sent troops to support Tianhai but was blocked by Shen Tang many times. So far, Wu Xian's losses Not too big.
However, just because his losses were small does not mean there is no pressure.
Tianhai County is the home base of many high-ranking officials. Most of the old officials who assisted Wu Xian came from here. What does this mean? It means that the tombs of their ancestors are all in Tianhai! Half of their ancestral property fell into the hands of the enemy, so they can still sit there live?
What's even more terrible is that Zhao Feng began to take revenge on Tianhai after half the battle, and arranged for soldiers to patrol near their ancestral graves.
This action is a demonstration.
As long as Zhao Feng is in a bad mood, he can dig up their ancestral graves.
The graves were dug up once, three times, and five times, and filled back up again and again, so that the bones of the ancestors were "rediscovered" over and over again! This news is such that any descendant will be furious after hearing this news, and the Three Corpses God will be furious!
"I don't think Zhao Dayi dared!"
As soon as they received the news, Tianhai and his family couldn't sit still. Even if their reason told them that Zhao Feng would not do such a beastly thing, emotionally they did not dare to take a gamble. Marching and fighting to dig up ancestral graves to make a fortune, which warlord has not Have you done it before? Wu Xian didn't do it before just because he was not short of money, and if he had money, most of his ancestral graves belonged to aristocratic families, so he didn't want to offend the aristocratic families for this little profit.
"I don't think he dares? Why doesn't he dare? When you are still forcing Zhao Feng's brothers to death and keeping his family in the house without talking nonsense?" Zhao Dayi, who was different, had a rough background and had a grudge against Tianhai. , I guarantee you won’t be able to do it right away.
"This this--"
The ministers of the Gao Kingdom who were born in Tianhai were speechless.
Zhao Feng knew best how to stir up the nerves of Tianhai and his old colleagues, and ordered people to publicize the news. He openly intensified patrols on the pretext of protecting the family's ancestral tombs from thieves, but what he did secretly was not known to outsiders. The most common people in the world They like to judge other people's hearts by their own hearts, so they will naturally not think about things for the better.
Everyone couldn't sit still and went to Wu Xian to think of countermeasures.
They said they were thinking of countermeasures, but they were actually forcing Wu Xian to send troops.
Fight Tianhai back!
Wu Xian meant to wait a little longer.
When the news comes from going south, a three-pronged attack will have a better chance of winning.
He reluctantly calmed down the group of courtiers whose ancestral graves were about to be destroyed. However, before the situation was stable for a while, another news of a mountain landslide came from Tianhai. The location of the landslide was the ancestral graves of a certain family with mountains and rivers. To say that this was Coincidence, who believes it?
Not only Tianhai and the others didn't believe it, but Wu Xian didn't believe it either.
So, he was forced to send troops.
Even though the influence of the Tianhai family has been greatly reduced due to the resource tilt caused by the relocation of the capital and Wu Xian's suppression, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated after they unite, especially at this critical moment when Wu Xian and Shen Tang are fighting. .If Wu Xian could just sit back and ignore the crisis at the ancestral tombs, don’t blame them for not helping others. He didn’t say the words so harshly, but they all meant the same thing. Wu Xian’s face suddenly turned darker than the ashes on the bottom of a pot.
It seemed that he didn't expect that the veteran minister would embarrass him so much.
As everyone knows, three feet of ice cannot be frozen in one day.
The grievances of the Tianhai family were not accumulated in a day.
Their situation in the Kingdom of Gao was very similar to that of the Qin Li family back then. In order to contain the Tianhai family, Wu Xian promoted and re-employed upstarts. These upstarts often caused obstacles for them, and they could tolerate it once or twice, and many times. , friction and conflicts naturally escalate.
From the time Gao Guo established the capital to the present day, there have been deep grievances.
Seeing that Wu Xian was still indifferent to the matter of their ancestral graves, it was impossible not to be disappointed, so he said harsh words in a hurry.
Even if he regained his sense and realized that he had said something treacherous and guilty, and was frightened, the words he said were like spilled water, and it was difficult to recover. Wu Xian looked at them with gloomy eyes, and finally relented and sent troops, but no one could breathe a sigh of relief.
"mob."
Inside the camp, the inconspicuous scribes sneered.
_| ̄|●
What a day of chaos.
Get up at five o'clock, go to the airport more than 40 kilometers away, fly to the capital at 8:10, land before 11 o'clock, sign in, go to the photo studio to take a bareheaded photo, and then go to the community hospital for a physical examination... Also, why is the capital more expensive than the capital? Is Wenzhou so warm?
