Above the restaurant, the air seemed to solidify, and in the huge upper room, it could be said that needles dropped.
Lu Zheng drank tea in his spare time and stared at Cheng Hu with squinting eyes. Cheng Hu was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he was fighting fiercely in his heart.
I don't know how long it has passed, he said bitterly: "The scholar of dog days!"
He looked at Lu Zheng and said, "Master Lu, you can tell me how can I trust you!"
Lu Zheng laughed, gently raised his hand and said, "Come here, the picture above!"
The map of Liuhe was neatly placed, and Lu Zheng pointed his finger along the coast of the river and said: "There are many mountains in the north of Liuhe, and the cavalry on the mountain is like a fish on the shore. If things go on like this, five thousand tigers will become five thousand sheep sooner or later.
Along the river, there are 10,000 mu of grassland and a horse Pingchuan, which is convenient for the cavalry to gallop. Moreover, this place is above the waterway of the big river, passing boat merchants and nobles can see my great demeanor with their own eyes! "
"General Cheng, you are a wise man, why don't you understand what I just said? The fifth battalion of the Nanfu Army was scattered from the beginning. The emperor broke up the fifth battalion. He just didn’t want the fifth battalion to be grouped together, only the fifth battalion. This army is safe only if they are in their respective camps. Is this the general said?"
Lu Zheng paused, and then said: "In this case, at this time when the fifth camp is going down the mountain, if the general takes the lead, this will be enough to give the court and the emperor peace of mind.
You, a small general, can appear in the memorials of various imperial histories, and the emperor can learn about the cavalry camp of the Jiangnan Nanfu Army in the memorials. Isn't it possible for General Cheng to weigh the benefits of such a thing? "
After Lu Zheng said this, Cheng Hu's face changed drastically, and he had to say that he had never thought about Lu Zheng's concept, but after careful consideration, he found that Lu Zheng's words really made sense.
The current five battalions of the Nanfu Army come from different provinces in Dakang, isn't the imperial court doing this for fear of the five battalions of the Nanfu Army forming a group?
For Jiangnan, the imperial court was beyond reach, and the Jiangnan power lords were close at hand, so the split of the Nanfu Army was more at ease to the imperial court than the unification of the army.
When Lu Zheng saw Cheng Hu's expression, he smiled lightly, and said: "The Nanfu Army Chief Governor Zhan is a celebrity next to the prince, but the appointment of the Nanfu Army Chief Governor requires the emperor to make the imperial decree himself.
Master Cheng knew Master Zhan's background, didn't the emperor know it? Now that the emperor knew about this, he still asked Master Zhan to oversee the Southern Army. The intention behind it was subtle. Can people like you and me figure it out clearly? "
Cheng Hu's heart was shaken, and Lu Zheng's words slammed his heart. It can be said that he hit his weakness and made his thinking as if he had entered a new world.
In fact, Cheng Hu’s usual thoughts are very delicate, and he would think twice in case of trouble, but after he had a conversation with Lu Zheng today, he realized that his usual thinking twice compared with Lu Zheng’s thinking is like a firefighter than the sun and the moon. .
It's still a great scholar. Although Cheng Hu started studying hard when he was a child, he was still memorizing the art of war and classics, but after all he was still not as good as a real scholar. He read more books and did a lot of weird things. This really makes sense!
Nie Yong, who was on the side, also opened his mouth wide when he heard it. He had seen someone with a sharp mouth, but he had never seen someone like Lu Zheng who turned his hand for the cloud and the hand for the rain.
Obviously that thing was going east according to normal thinking, but Lu Zheng was able to say the truth to the west, and these truths sounded so impeccable, credible and reliable, this kind of ability is really amazing.
Cheng Hu's psychological defense gradually collapsed. He pondered for a long time and said, "Master Lu, good! My cavalry battalion is willing to deploy defenses. As long as there is an order from Lord Zhan, I will definitely implement it!"
Lu Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Master Cheng, how can I say that I am here to help you today? To tell you the truth, you can't decide which battalion of the five battalions of the Southern Army Army has the opportunity to deploy and defend. I It can’t be decided. Master Zhan decides in the end."
Lu Zheng sneered, and said, "No one is a fool these days. You can understand what I said just now. Do you expect the other generals to not understand the truth?
Let me tell you this. The question now is not whether you are willing to go down the mountain, but whether you have the opportunity to go down the mountain.
Let’s not hide from General Cheng, we have seen General Ma from Shenji Camp before, and General Ma wants to descend the mountain just like General Cheng. But my Liuhe County is a little bit bigger. This time we allocated 200,000 taels of silver to build barracks and training grounds for our Nanfu Army.
Judging from the current situation, only one battalion can be stationed in this area. So, General Cheng, the only thing I can help you with is this. In the end, whether you can go down the mountain is up to you! "
"Huh?" Cheng Hu was stunned, he was completely confused by Lu Zheng, listening to Lu Zheng's meaning, the adjustment of defense has now become a sweet steamed bun? Everyone wants to adjust the defense? How is this going?
Lu Zheng approached Cheng Hu with a smile, and said in a low voice: "General Cheng may not know that there are three piers along the river. These three piers are all rich and oily places.
Where any army is stationed here, where can the water flow through it that does not moisturize? The court of the Southern Army Army didn't allocate enough silver for each month. The leading soldiers have no money these days. It is hard for the brothers to sell their lives! General Cheng, don't you think? "
"Huh?" Cheng Hu's expression was completely moved. Lu Zheng's last few words can really speak of the problem that has plagued him for three years. His soldiers are cavalry, and raising soldiers is the most difficult. Not only do the soldiers need food and salaries, but there are also thousands of animals who need food!
The Nanfu Army’s non-combat soldiers, logistical supplies are controlled in the hands of the Jiangnan power lords, and there will be disputes almost every time the payment is made. In recent years, Cheng Hu has been struggling to deal with this matter, and his heart is haggard.
What Lu Zheng said now is to give the Nanfu Army a chance to get a share from the three major piers of Dajiang. If this matter is really successful, Cheng Hu will no longer have to worry about food. .
"This time I'm going to defend my cavalry battalion!" Cheng Hu patted the table and said, he stood up and arched his hand at Nie Yong, saying:
"Master Nie, you are Liuhe's parent officer. This matter will ultimately fall on you. Regarding the deployment of the cavalry battalion, Cheng Hu still needs your help!
Let me put it this way, as long as Master Nie is willing to help, Master Nie will encounter difficulties in the future, as long as there is a place where I can use Cheng Hu, I will go through water and fire, and I will not hesitate! "
Nie Yong stared at Cheng Hu, his whole person was completely numb, and he still couldn't believe that what was in front of him was true.
Zhan Tianqi thought that the task of getting the fifth battalion of the Nanfu Army down the mountain was difficult to ascend to the sky, and Nie Yong also believed that, for this reason, after he received Zhan Tianqi's military order, he tried hard these days, and finally found nothing.
But now, Cheng Hu begged him to go down the mountain instead. If Nie Yong hadn't seen this scene with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it was true!
Lu Zheng looked at Nie Yong not daring to speak, he laughed, and said, "Okay, General Cheng Kuairen, I agreed on behalf of the teacher. However, the teacher can help you, but the rules cannot be changed. According to Master Zhan’s plan, he decided to deploy the five camps. The matter will be decided by the contest.
Among the five battalions, which battalion can win the battle, whoever is eligible to deploy defenses along the river, General Cheng, this rule seems to be fair, but in fact it is greatly beneficial to General Cheng.
There are five thousand cavalry under the general's seat. Each of these five thousand soldiers and horses is a hero in a hundred battles. There shouldn't be a problem with the general Wucheng, right? "
"Haha..." Cheng Hu suddenly laughed. He clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Okay, it's a deal! Hmph, I want to see who dares to compete with my Ji Liao cavalry. It's fun, it's been a long time. Activities, this time the children can relax their muscles and bones, haha..."
Cheng Hu laughed, and immediately he stood up and said, "Master Nie, Master Lu, this meal today is the love between Cheng Hu and Cheng Hu. Since we are going to compete, we should focus on military affairs. I will go back and make preparations immediately. , Today this banquet will be over!"
Cheng Hu left after leaving Biyun Tower and immediately greeted his soldiers to leave Biyun Tower. Only Nie Yong and Lu Zheng were left upstairs in Biyun.
"Flap, pop, pop!" Suddenly there was applause, Lu Zheng turned his head to see that it was Liang Chuan who came in with a high-five smile and said, he said:
"Brother Zheng, today you have really made the old man insightful. It is not an exaggeration to say, brother Zheng, you are really amazing, and you are not as old as you. It is a godsend for the adults to get your help. what!"
Liang Chu said these words very sincerely, without half politeness. Today, Lu Zheng's lobbying is really wonderful. It can be said that Cheng Hu has been brought into control step by step.
In the fifth battalion of the Southern Army Army, Cheng Hu is the most difficult general to deal with, because this man is a warrior who has really seen blood on the battlefield, and he is extremely wary of scholars. To be honest, Liang Chang I am not optimistic about today's lobbying.
But the final result was that Lu Zheng won a big victory, especially in the end, Lu Zheng cleverly used the combative nature of the five people to rebel against the guest, changed the nature of the downhill matter, and let the five camps fight for this place. It can be said that it is true. The stroke of the gods is wonderful and wonderful, which makes people breathtaking.
Lu Zheng said modestly: "Old Liang is polite, I just tried my best. Wuying down the mountain is the first step. With this step, the teacher will have a bargaining chip from now on.
However, there is still a long way to go in the future. Students are not talented, and they are willing to follow the teacher and work for the teacher! "
Nie Yong was stunned, with a very moved expression: "Brother Zheng, the teacher has really got you as Liu Bei has got Zhuge Liang. With your talents, you will surely be able to soar into the sky in the future. You should sharpen it by your teacher's side and wait until next year. Kaienke has won the Juren, and the teacher will arrange for you to go north to Beijing.
The Jiangnan Power Sovereign has declined. It is indeed not a wise move for you to stay in the Jiangnan Lu Family. The teacher now finally understands your previous painstaking efforts! It's ridiculous that those who don't know the inside story say that you are not filial if you don't return to the Lu family. Those little siskins have a good ambition? "
