Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 978;

Chapter 930 two;
A hundred steps outside the camp of the patriarch of the second room.

Li Yu stood with his hands behind his back, followed by the Big Dipper of Taoism, and his concubine Lin Bawang, and Lin Bawang's son Hei Niu was holding the nurse's hand by his side.

A group of maids from all walks of life in the second room and a few senior stewards stood beside him. Of course, the first chief steward of the inner house, Mrs. Liu Si, was also serving half a step behind Li Yu.

There are also several generals of the Minzhou Guard standing beside them. These are the leaders of the thousand-man team protecting the princess. Their task is to stay close to the princess at all times.

These few were all sent by the imperial court. They knew the rules of the imperial court and the weight of this lord. Although the emperor regarded the princess as a thorn in his flesh, this lord had a serious relationship...

They can guess the result with their toes, the generals in charge of the guards, the whole family can't survive, the emperor is happy, but at the same time, he will use them as scapegoats in the name of weak guards to appease others!

The neighing of war horses in the distance, the shouts of the tribe, and the running of the army remind the world that a desperate fight is going on here!

The tense battle did not cause any waves in Li Yu's heart. He has long been accustomed to life in this time and space, and with a powerful force in his hands, he naturally has a solid heart and is as stable as a rock.

Seeing the ten centurions in front of the camp in a neat defensive posture, Li Yu became more at ease. The [-] troops of the Minzhou Guard were organized and built by him.

They are all from the native tribes of the south of the Five Ridges, almost all of them are half-savages, and their combat effectiveness is quite strong. There is a training plan personally designated by Li Yu, so Li Yu knows best in his heart that with these ten centurions at the front, they will be matched with the best armor, even if the opposite army rushes over, it will not be able to harm itself!

So he talked with confidence;

"As for military strategists, the first thing to bear the brunt is naturally the martial arts of the leader and the ability to dispatch back and forth. However, more is to compete with each other's food supply, as well as logistical equipment."

"The head of the family is wise."

"Supremely wise."

"The princess is wise."

"However, there are no absolutes. There will always be a few times when the situation is evenly matched, when all situations are evenly matched."

"At this time, it depends on the respective soldiers, who is stronger and who is weaker in terms of morale and courage."

Grand Palace Master Liu of the Shangqing Palace answered with a smile;
"What the supreme said is true, so the ancients have a saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road."

"My lord, looking at today's military affairs, this disciple seems to be...the main general who is facing the battle doesn't have the heart to fight to the death!"

"indeed so."

"The palace lord has a unique vision and can see clearly. It can be seen that their central army is stagnating and the right wing is also preserving their strength. It is not difficult to see that the leader of the confrontation is not an ordinary person. It seems that they have clearly seen the intention of the head of the Liang family. "

The conversation between the two made the able-bodied Taoist priests around them unable to bear it. The priest of the Nine Dragons Temple looked at Li Yu with a frown;

"If you've seen through General Liang's trap, why did you call their left wing to fight against the limelight? It's really strange and ruthless."

"That's right, Senior Sister's eyes are like torches."

"From Pindao's point of view, the right-wing general he is facing is by no means a simple character."

"Senior Sister Wulei still sees clearly!"

"It's not that the poor can see it through. Let's just talk about Liang Shijiu, the general on our left wing. I heard that he is a great military strategist who goes hand in hand with the head of the Liang family."

"It's not difficult to guess how it is, but it was evenly matched with the opponent's right army, and they didn't back down half a step."

"And when our General Liang Nineteen deliberately retreated to lure the enemy deep, the opposing right wing did not rashly pursue it, but only advanced steadily, maintaining coordinated operations with the central army at all times, and supporting each other. It can be seen that the characters brought out by the opponent It's not easy."

"Not bad!"

Li Yu didn't turn around, and remained motionless, only staring at the empty battlefield five miles away from the slope.

"You are all very sharp. This deity is watching. The left army that is facing the battle, the former leader is not stupid. More than 700 people were sent out to attack the elders of the Liang family, but he led the cavalry behind him."

"It's not uncommon. What surprised me is that that guy didn't move, turning a blind eye to the lives and deaths of more than 1000 cannon fodder. Just with this concentration and calm heart, he is not a simple guy."

"What's more, as soon as the left and right troops of the two elder sons of Liang's family appeared, he retreated with more than 700 troops. Obviously, that guy can accurately estimate his combat strength. If he can't win, he retreats immediately."

"The supreme judge is very accurate, and the disciple thinks the same way. He is indeed not a simple person."

"It's a pity, with only seven hundred soldiers. If it's the same as their left wing, with three thousand soldiers, it won't be easy for Elder Liang to win."

"Senior sister said yes, but according to the report of the subordinates, their left army is indeed 3000 people. For example, at this moment, the remaining more than 2000 people will be defeated by Elder Liang and transferred to thousands of people. Still can't stand the opponent's momentum."

"Something's wrong, my lord, since their left army also has [-] soldiers, why did they deliberately distance themselves from the former army's [-] soldiers?"

"Yeah, if we charged together before, it wouldn't be easy for Elder Liang to kill the murderers."

"Humph!"

Li Yu snorted coldly;
"Actually, it's not hard to guess. It's nothing more than family scandals, or factional games, or it's the fight for power and position. There are fewer generals who have been wronged and died on the battlefield since ancient times?"

"That's true."

"That's right, the Supreme is right. Many generals died not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own people."

Li Yu sighed and shook his head;
"It's a wise saying since ancient times that generals will not accept the orders of their rulers abroad. How can the factions and civil officials far behind know the changes in the situation ahead?"

"When it was necessary to wait for an opportunity, it was regarded as fear by the uninformed laymen in the rear, so the Babaili family urged the initiative to attack, but they didn't know the meaning of the situation. As a result, the general who led the army had no choice but to do so When he was mature, he gritted his teeth and went out to fight, but he was defeated and died."

"There is also an unlucky general who is at a critical moment in the military situation. The supply of food and grass in the rear is not enough, his throat is stuck, and he goes to fight with people on an empty stomach, and his own people kill him."

"What's more, the battle was not over yet, and they were directly changed before the battle, arrested and beheaded for various trumped-up charges, or died in a cell."

"All these things all show how terrible and horrible the selfishness of those literati in power is, and it is extremely chilling."

Li Yu's conclusion can be said to express the general's sorrow and difficulties, and the capable people present fell silent.

Mrs. Liu Si, the chief steward of the inner house, grabbed Li Yu's left hand in time to comfort her;
"That's why the Supreme doesn't like the civil servant faction in the court?"

"Yes, but not all of them were killed at once. For example, Du Pushe and the house servant shot a group of them. They are bloody men. They are hardly civil servants. Their aura is more like military generals."

"Then, the Patriarch thinks, what about the eldest grandson Shangshu who stayed in Minzhou...?"

Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Liu Siniang;

"You mean him?"

"Well, I think he is really capable. In the past few months, he has managed many things in Minzhou City in an orderly manner. He should be regarded as a character?"

"It's a person. But he is not a capable minister, nor a direct minister, nor a loyal minister. None of these have anything to do with him."

"Patriarch, you have confused me about my concubine's identity. She is nothing. What kind of minister is he? He can't be a traitor, right?"

"You're half right. Changsun Wuji is a half-traitor, plus a half-powerful official."

"Half treacherous minister? Half powerful minister? I don't understand what I mean?"

"The reason why he is said to be a half-traitor is because he has a treacherous heart, but he restrained himself and tried not to show it. That's why he is called a half-traitor."

"Then what about the semi-power minister that the head of the family said? I heard that the eldest grandson Shangshu is not greedy for power?"

"That's because he hid it well, and it's not time yet, so he didn't dare to reveal it. You just wait and see. After the emperor dies, he will be an out-and-out minister of power. This kind of person will not end well." That's great, family raids and family extermination are common things."

"That is, since the Patriarch said that he is a powerful minister, the concubine can understand it, just like those of our aristocratic families, if a minister who wants to seek power and usurp the throne has no rebellious heart, the Patriarch of any family will not like it. It is often necessary to kill the whole family of this person, and it will cause disaster if they keep it, so it is better to kill it."

"That's why I said that Changsun Wuji's future will not end well. If he blocks the footsteps of those in power, he will end up dead. This is something that all fools know. Only officials in power always choose to forget this place."

"No wonder the Patriarch didn't get close to him. It turns out that the Patriarch has already guessed his funeral."

"Well. It's not that I'm worried that he will cause trouble for us. He comes from a small wealthy family. After all, there is a limit to how he wants to cause me a lot of trouble."

"And things in the court are not as simple as he thought. Among the three provinces and six ministries, which one is easy to get along with? All of them are human beings. Therefore, even if the eldest grandson's idea is to be realized, he has to overcome obstacles and overcome obstacles. It may not be possible to achieve the goal.”

"The reason why I don't want to get close to him is more because I don't like his methods of dealing with people, and I abandon everything to achieve my goal."

"Besides, I don't have the right temper with him. There is really no need to waste energy on him. Wouldn't it be better for me to be in the yards of beauties from all walks of life, listening to the piano and drinking wine?"

"That's right! Of course the Supreme doesn't need to waste energy on those unnecessary people."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The Supreme One needs to do whatever he wants, the way is natural, and he can do whatever he wants."

"The head of the family can do whatever he wants, and the concubine supports you in everything. Even if his eldest grandson becomes a high official in the court, it's just a matter of changing the name of the chief steward to the secretary of the household department. From the perspective of the concubine, the two There isn't much of a difference either."

"Well, the metaphor of a lady is very appropriate. For example, the commander of our Lin family's imperial army, the head of the Lin family, is nothing more than changing his name to the Commander-in-Chief when he goes to Jiufang."

"It's almost the same as the patriarchs of the imperial army here. The second house, the nine house, the Taiwei, and the patriarchs are all the same in the eyes of wise people."

"Okay, let's go, let's go in and have a rest, and ask the kitchen to get some food and wine. Tonight, I will have two or three drinks with all the ladies, and we will be happy."

"Supreme doesn't care about military affairs anymore?"

"Yes, yes! Didn't the Supreme Master say before that you should check it out?"

"That was before."

Li Yu carefully checked the situation on the battlefield, put down Hawkeye, and handed it over to his general.

"It's nothing to look at now. The left army against each other started to stop, no longer fighting and charging. This shows that they received the order or achieved their goal."

"Look at their right army. They are standing next to Liang Shijiu. Although they are so nervous, they don't show any killing intent."

"The Central Route Army stopped after five miles away from the camp, which means that the leader of the confrontation has seen through the scheme of the head of the Liang family and does not want to get into the trap."

"Even looking back, the fight tonight was just for show. Especially the central army and the right wing who were facing each other. They shouted a lot, but they didn't take any action. They hid left and right, and didn't fight with our army."

"Only their left army can charge, but it's hard to fight alone. I estimate that the total damage of the three armies facing each other is no more than a thousand people, including minor injuries. A fatal fight turned out to be those behind them. The game of wine bag and rice bag is really boring."

"So I think, tonight, there should be no excitement to watch. At most, I just need to deal with it a few more times, so I can have an explanation when I go back. The large-scale killing is probably coming to an end. This is the same as the 600 people shot and killed by Elder Liang. It might have a lot to do with it."

"Oh."

"The meaning of the supreme is that Elder Liang has done a lot of merit this time!"

"you can say it this way."

"However, Master Liang will not reward him for a while. After all, he disrespected the order and did not retreat in time after the military order was issued. The root of the problem has nothing to do with military achievements, they are completely different things!"

A group of people unhurriedly walked back to Li Yu's big tent and sat down, Liu Siniang asked cautiously;

"Patriarch, then... the elders of the Liang family, what do you want to do with it? It's not that I'm talking too much, it's really important. Elder Liang made a decisive decision, took the matter that was tightly closed, and won the first merit. He is also an important member of the Liang family. A person who has never made a mistake in half his life, if he is too strict, I think...it's not good, right?"

"Ah."

Li Yu casually agreed, and ordered;

"Tell the kitchen to prepare the food and drink, and then ask Mrs. Dong to arrange to come over. I want to watch some dances and listen to the piano skills of the mother and daughter, whether they have improved."

"Oh, I see, come on, hurry up and get ready."

"only!"

"Sit down too. Don't worry too much. I don't want to be nosy. The Liang family will take care of it."

"Oh, as long as the head of the family doesn't pursue the matter, it will be much easier for the subordinates, and the concubine can feel at ease."

"Si Niang thinks it's too difficult to serve me. Military law is ruthless, but people are affectionate. I'm not a foolish king, so I won't bite her down."

Liu Siniang leaned against Li Yu awkwardly;

"Oh... Patriarch, why are you so difficult to serve? I am also thinking about important affairs in the clan, so I inevitably want to say a few more words. From now on, I will just say nothing."

"I didn't say you're asking the wrong question. For hundreds of years, most of the nineteenth surnames came and went, and most of them were mediated by the first chief steward of the inner house. If you don't think about it, what do I need you for?"

"You can't just serve me at night."

"There are a lot of people, the Patriarch...the concubine is ashamed."

"Hahahahahahahaha, you're still shy...Come on, let me see if the lady is hot, is she too shy..."

"Well, the Patriarch doesn't want..."
