After Jian Yurang returned home, he carefully recalled what happened when Lin Ye met him today, especially what Lin Ye said to him. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Ye was trying to persuade him.
Because his mood was a little shaky and his mood was not very high, he did not go back to Huben Camp. He just wanted to have some peace and quiet at home.
He had not come home for several days. Mrs. Kang, who was originally happy to see her husband come home, saw that her husband's face was full of sorrow, and her joy disappeared.
Mrs. Kang personally made the tea and brought it to her. She walked softly to Jian Yurang. Jian Yurang looked back at her and tried his best to smile.
"What's wrong, General?"
Mrs. Kang put down the tea and gently squeezed Jian Yurang's shoulders from behind. She seemed to be able to feel her husband's mood and her hands were cautious.
"It's nothing, just some military worries."
Jian Yurang casually covered it up.
No matter how he is an official or a person, he is always very good to his wife.
When he was still unknown, his wife took him in and supported him in studying and practicing martial arts.
Mrs. Kang's family was well off, and her father was an official in the DPRK and China. Although he did not hold real power, he helped Cambodia a lot on his life path.
Mrs. Kang said: "I know many things that the general is not comfortable telling me, but I just want to tell the general that if it is difficult to live in Guzhu, why don't we leave. After selling our things at home, we will go to sea to find a place to live in seclusion.
If we don’t provoke anyone, there is no need for anyone to provoke us.”
Jian wanted to turn around, took his wife's hand and said, "Today I went to see the great general Lin Ye, and he talked a lot with me."
Mrs. Kang was startled: "Didn't you say that Lin Ye was targeting you? Why did you go to see him again? He didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Jian Yurang shook his head: "You didn't make things difficult for me."
He explained the matter to his wife in detail. After listening, her expression became complicated.
The couple discussed for a while, and both felt that Lin Ye's words were a reminder or an admonition. To put it more directly, it was a warning.
At this moment, a servant came in and said that Mr. Kang had arrived, and the couple hurriedly welcomed him out.
Just an hour ago, Lin Ye paid a secret visit to Mr. Kang.
Although Kang Boyei was not an important minister in the Guzhu court, he had been ups and downs for decades, and no matter how bad the storms in Guzhu were, he was not hurt at all, which shows the wisdom of this man.
It was precisely because Lin Ye sent someone to check on Kang Boyei that he went to see him.
After Kang Bowei entered the door, he sat down and sighed.
"Yu Rang, what are your plans?"
Cambodian Yurang quickly replied: "A while ago, many adults in the DPRK discussed with me privately, and they all felt that this military power cannot be let go under any circumstances."
Kang Bowei nodded: "Having military power in hand is indeed important. I came to see you today to advise you about this military power."
The old gentleman looked at Qian and wanted to give in: "But there is something. I want to ask you first. Why are the adults in the court so close to you?"
Without waiting for an answer, the old gentleman continued talking on his own.
"When they are close to you now, are they caring for you or counting on you?"
Cambodian wanted to give in and said: "If I still have the military power in my hands, they will always be close to me. If I lose the military power, how can they get close to me."
The old gentleman smiled: "It seems you are not confused yet."
He said: "I might as well tell you directly that just before I come, General Lin Ye will come to see me in person."
Jian Yurang's expression changed: "What does he mean?"
The old gentleman said: "If Lin Ye was completely confident and didn't take you seriously, would he come to see me?"
Cambodian Yurang asked: "Does he really dare not be too tough?"
The old gentleman shook his head: "He dares."
These words made Jian Yurang stunned.
The old man said: "In Lone Bamboo, what do you think Lin Ye dare not do? Here the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is the one who really holds the military power. He came to see me in person because of the trade-off.
Pros and cons.”
Cambodian Yurang became more and more confused.
The old gentleman said: "He dares to do anything, but it depends on whether it is worth it. The military power is in your hands. If he can use you, it will be a good thing for him and for you, so as to avoid trouble."
After hearing this sentence, Cambodian Yurang understood.
His father-in-law came to act as a lobbyist for Lin Ye.
The old gentleman continued: "Don't say it's you. I have been an official in the court for decades. Have the big shots who are close to you now ever been so close to me?"
He said: "You came from a poor family and have been in trouble for the past twenty years. Have they really helped you?"
Jian Yurang shook his head: "No."
The old gentleman said slowly: "The way of being an official is that you don't have to ask about right or wrong when doing things, but you must ask about the pros and cons."
He looked at Jian Yu and said, "Think about it, do you make shurikens for those people, or do you make shurikens for Dayu?"
Cambodian's expression of desire kept changing.
Mrs. Kang said: "I think what my father said is right. Guzhu has destroyed the country. Dayu can no longer use them to serve as officials. Now they want you to fight against Dayu. If you lose, it has nothing to do with them. If you win, you
What they win they take away.”
Jian Yurang nodded.
Just as the old gentleman was about to say something else, a servant came to report again, saying that it was Qin Ya, the deputy commander of the Huben Battalion, who wanted to see him.
At the same time, the General's Mansion.
Lin Ye sat in the yard, brewed a pot of tea and put on the chessboard.
Feng Xiu, the deputy commander of Wu Lingwei, sat opposite him and asked Lin Ye tentatively: "The general asked me to play chess because of the incident in the Guzhu Army, right?"
Lin Ye: "Playing chess is just playing chess, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of Guzhu Army."
Feng Xiu shook his head: "I don't believe it."
Lin Ye: "What are you betting on? You and I are playing chess today. If whoever mentions the matter of Lone Bamboo first, he will lose."
Feng Xiu: "The general is short of money recently?"
Lin Ye: "..."
Feng Xiu: "You shouldn't. No matter how short of money the general is, he shouldn't worry about the money from his humble position."
Lin Ye: "Just playing chess."
Feng Xiu: "I have played chess with the general. This is the ninth time now. I have never won once. If the general is looking for someone to play chess with, it's not like he can't find someone who is equally matched. Come to me. The general will be safe."
What kind of heart you have, you can still guess a little bit about your humble position."
Lin Ye: "I have arranged everything. What can I do with you?"
Feng Xiu: "There was an incident at the Huben camp last night. The general met Qin Ya and Jian Yuyi successively, and went out again. Apparently he was planning to make some big move."
Lin Ye: "You lost."
Feng Xiu: "What did I lose?"
Lin Ye: "Whoever mentions it first will lose."
Feng Xiu: "Hey!"
He had a damn serious expression on his face.
Lin Ye said: "Since you mentioned it first, I will say a few words."
Feng Xiu: "..."
Lin Ye said: "Now Cambodia is vacillating. I don't have to keep this person, but I can't keep all Guzhu people. I have to leave some power to them. Compared with other people, Cambodia wants to give up."
OK."
Feng Xiu said: "General, just give your orders."
Lin Ye: "Can't you think about it yourself?"
Feng Xiu: "I don't want to think about it anymore. No matter how smart I am, I can't think of anything more than the general. It's better to give the general's direct orders."
Lin Ye glared at him.
After a while, Lin Ye said: "If Cambodia wants to still have some prestige in the Huben camp, but if Guzhu is to be stabilized, the army must first be stabilized."
He looked at Feng Xiu: "Since Cambodia wants to sway, let him stop swaying."
Feng Xiu stepped forward and asked, "What do you mean, General?"
Lin Ye: "Find a way to go by yourself, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable if you were idle all day."
Feng Xiu: "..."
After a while, Feng Xiu asked tentatively: "Most of the people under Cambodian Yurang are from the major families in Lone Bamboo. They seem to be loyal to Cambodian Yurang, but in fact, these people are very important to Cambodian Yurang."
It’s also a hidden danger.”
Lin Ye gave him a "continue" look.
Feng Xiu said: "There is a man named Ming Wuyuan in the Huben camp. The Ming family is also a wealthy family in Guzhu. His prestige in the military is second only to Cambodian Yu Cang."
Lin Ye looked at him, his eyes full of encouragement.
It was as if the old man was looking at a child of several years old and encouraging him with his eyes, "You won't die from eating this pepper, try it now."
Full of kindness.
Feng Xiu was a little scared when Lin Ye looked at her, so she had no choice but to continue talking.
He said: "I will go to see Ming Wuyuan tonight and tell him that the general is already annoyed that Cambodia is wavering. If he is willing to serve Dayu, then the Huben camp will be handed over to him, and the general will be relieved.
As long as the Ming family takes a stand, the general will certainly give the Ming family face."
Lin Ye: "You have such a bad heart."
Feng Xiu: "Ah?"
Lin Ye said: "I don't want to play chess with such a narrow-minded person like you. I'm afraid I'll learn bad things from you, so you should leave quickly."
Feng Xiu: "Ah?"
Lin Ye: "I've figured out the solution, what are you waiting for? Waiting for me to take care of your food? Go, go, run."
Feng Xiu sighed: "General, why bother to find me? Just send someone to say no."
Lin Ye: "I brought you here because I was afraid that your idea was not good enough."
Feng Xiu sighed: "It's not bad enough."
Lin Ye smiled: "Go quickly."
Feng Xiu stood up, bowed and bowed before saying goodbye and leaving.
Lin Ye looked towards the back room: "Jiao Tianbao, have you heard everything?"
General Jiao Tianbao responded in the back room: "Go back to the general, all my subordinates have heard it."
Lin Ye asked him to come out of the back room and asked: "What do you think of General Feng's method?"
Jiao Tianbao immediately said: "To say that my subordinates really don't have this kind of foresight, I have to be a general to do it."
Lin Ye said: "Feng Xiu has chosen a person, and you choose one too. You go and get the piece of paper from the table."
Jiao Tianbao went over, took the paper, looked down and was surprised.
Because what was listed on the paper was a list.
The first person on the list is Ming Wuyin, and the names written after him are all generals in Guzhu Huben Camp.
Lin Ye said: "Feng Xiu has chosen one, you choose one from the remaining people and go and meet him tonight."
Jiao Tianbao was stunned.
He asked: "The great general had already thought about what to do before General Feng came, and then he deliberately tested whether General Feng could think of this method?"
Lin Ye: "You talk a lot of nonsense. Go get some work done. If you don't get it done, your military pay will be deducted for two years."
Jiao Tianbao sighed: "It is obvious that the general is the bad one, but we still have to force General Feng to admit that he is the bad one..."
Lin Ye: "After talking so much, it seems that you don't really want military pay, so I'll deduct it for one year first, and then I'll reward you when it's done. If it doesn't work, I'll deduct it again for the second year."
Jiao Tianbao: "Take my military pay as a reward? Give it back to me?"
Lin Ye: "You can also use your military pay as a reward to Feng Xiu."
Jiao Tianbao turned around and left: "My subordinates will definitely be able to handle it. I want it from him!"
Lin Ye: "..."
He thought that this man named Jiao was so smart, and if things didn't go well, he couldn't blame him.
