No shortage of walls

Ye Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, came next to him and said:"Return to your Majesty! We must send the order to counterattack and recapture Xiangzhou Pass."

Wu Jun said:"Who is going to seize the pass?"

"I recommend Lu Yao, a third-grade general.

Wu Jundao:"Pass the message!" General Lu Yao led 40,000 troops to seize the pass. Each department prepared food and fodder. How many days would it take?

Ye Xuan said:"General Lu is still in Yanjing, and the sergeants will be transferred from each city. It will take three days."

Wu Jundao:"Prepare overnight!""

The ministers obeyed. They each dealt with their own affairs and retreated.

Wu Jun paced back and forth in the harem. His face was full of anger. He said:"Such things! Doesn’t the princess know?"

The queen asked back:"Even if the princess knew that she was in the Qi country and the Qi people had been plotting for a long time, how could she know it? So what if you know it? In a foreign country, what can the princess do?"

Wu Jun knew it was right. His son-in-law wanted to do such a big thing, and his daughter knew about it, so what could she do? So he said nothing, but secretly scolded the nobles in Qi Jun's palace.

……

Song Xing had dinner and went to Dayu Palace to solve the problem. Then he remembered something, got dressed quickly, and came out to tell Lu Zhi to find Liu Guo and come to the imperial study.

Liu Guo came in a hurry.

Song Xingdao:"You seemed to have mentioned last time that the second prince of Qi State married the eldest princess of Wu?"

Liu Guo said hurriedly:"That's right!"

Song Xingdao said:"It turns out that the Ministry of National Security secretly divided the prince of Qi State. If it is not conducive to the prince at this time, With the Hu people, and even started to tell the second prince about the kickback with Long Quan, will the prince be deposed?"

Liu Guodao:"The Ministry of National Security has more than a dozen things about the prince of Qi, including secrets in the palace; once it is revealed If you give it to the second prince of Qi State, the crown prince of Qi State will be deposed. Moreover, there have been rumors in Qi State about the prince's style problem for a long time; even Qi State has said that the prince may be deposed. Now that the two departments are working hard, if the prince of Qi is deposed, it should not be a big problem. Yes. But the problem is that taking Xiangzhou Pass by surprise in order to return to relatives must be the plan of the second prince of Qi. It is widely said in Qi that the second prince is extremely talented and resourceful. Even Liu Gongquan sent spies in and had to sell a lot of useless information. , only two people were sent in; due to the careful work of the Ministry of National Security, eleven people have been lost because of the second prince of Qi State; the news I received is that the people from the Ministry of National Security were aware of this incident of entering Wu, and in order to gain trust And the second prince of Qi was on guard against them and secretly sent his confidants to keep an eye on them; but he did not dare to send the message back first. Death was a small matter, but the role of spies was a big deal. The news came from the people who escaped from Wu State. Generally speaking, it came from He said that although the people from the Ministry of National Security have joined the second prince Qi's account, the second prince Qi still doesn't trust them very much. Because the second prince Qi is too scheming, the people from the Ministry of National Security cannot be sure, so they specially apologize to His Majesty. At this moment, the second prince Qi The prince has already done a lot of work. Now, if we overthrow the prince of Qi, the second prince of Qi will not be the prince. When the time comes, all people will be of the same mind, which will not be a good thing for our country."

Song Xing said:"This is what I think. The prince of the country cannot It is easy to abolish the establishment, but the crown prince is deposed; the second prince may not become the prince so quickly. As long as he gives the information to the people in the Ministry of National Security, as long as he does it naturally, the people in the Ministry of National Security will be reused, and he will have a bright future in the future, and important information will come back. Once the prince is deposed, we try our best to support the third prince to fight against the second prince. As long as the king of Qi does not establish a prince, they will fight among themselves. This battle is very serious. If it is good, the country of Qi will be in chaos. In a few days, as long as there is a dispute for the crown prince in Qi State, Liu Gongquan will be able to find an opportunity; the news from the Ministry of National Security is already late. I guess that the Qi people in Xiangzhou must have sealed off four cities to prevent the news from leaking. We have already delayed him One step, can this strategy stop for some time?"

Liu Guodao:"What the Holy One means is to give the Wu State time to prepare troops? When the two countries fight, and Chen Sui and Erguan have fewer sergeants, it will be easy for our Song army to attack the city. ?Secondly, Commander Yi also has time to mobilize his troops to the north? With the expansion of the emperor's harem, the three things are combined for great benefit?"

Song Xingdao:"I asked Jin Chuan to write more ugly today, just in the hope that our Song army can have fewer casualties.."

Liu Guodao said:"You are still in the state body, how can you write randomly?"

After he finished speaking. Then he said:"Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it!"

Song Xing did not disturb him.

Liu Guo stood up and paced back and forth. Nodding to his forehead with his hand. After a while, he said:"Great idea! Wu Jun must not want to wait for the Qi people to come. He has already arrived in Xiangzhou, and he is unwilling to let go. The two armies are fighting, and I am only interested in it. When the time comes, I will send someone to sell the Hu people to The second prince and I, Song State’s soap, white sugar, liquor, etc., were sold to the third prince at the original price, making the goods in the hands of the third prince cheaper than the second prince’s. When we bought the third prince’s things, the prices were raised a little to make everyone think that the second prince was getting kickbacks. Let the third prince come forward to fight with the second prince. They are fighting for the throne. We only need to keep it a secret and prevent them from finding out that it was the Song Dynasty that did it intentionally. If the barbarians find out that we have goods passing through the Liao Dynasty, they will infer that the people For smuggling, the newspaper published a story about arresting private businessmen for smuggling, killing men, and sending women into slavery. If the Hu people refused to comply, Long Quan would be transferred back, and the next thing to be downgraded and investigated would be from the Hu people. It's over."

Song Xingdao:"That's what I meant, but it's hard for Long Quan to take the blame."

Liu Guodao:"Everything is for the Song Dynasty, everything is for the emperor, I will go there in person. First, to avoid the news leaking, and secondly, The third prince personally confessed that Long Quan is willing to die for the sake of the Song Kingdom and the emperor."

Song Xing said:"Then you go back and tell Liu Gongquan. Then he left quietly and saw me when he came back. He must tell his cronies when smuggling. , go away by yourself; when the time comes, I will scold him in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and scold him severely in the newspapers, and the Hu people can get over it. I only promise the Hu people until the end of this year, and they must act carefully no matter what, and hold on until the end of this year. At the end of the year, if you have to take the blame halfway, it will be in vain. Tell Long Quan that you will take the blame until the end of the year, and I will ask Jin Chuan to publish a message in the newspaper, asking the Qi State Security Department not to move, and gaining trust is the most important thing. Things."

Liu Guodao:"Your Majesty, don't worry! Long Quan will definitely be able to complete it. I will resign."

Liu Guo walked out backwards, admiring him in his heart. The crown prince, at a young age, was more considerate than himself.

Ye Chongwei's attack was harsh enough. The next day, people were ordered to remove all the gold and silver from the public houses in Xiangzhou City, and the homes of wealthy families were also ransacked. As long as no one was meddlesome and no one was killed, the government was ordered to manage affairs and salaries would be paid as usual.

What a great idea, even if it is taken back by the opponent, it will still be an empty city!

Ye Chongwei looted the city, which was worse than a bandit; then he went out to sue the people, but he didn't do much, but the writing was very nice and upright. The people of Qi treated the people of Wu as if they were relatives, but in the end, after surrendering to Qi, everything changed. Like the people of Qi, if the state of Wu is willing to surrender, all property will be returned.

He is full of benevolence, justice and morality, but he does extremely shameless things, which are not as upright as killing people to establish prestige.
