Chapter 619 Strategies (800 Months)
"It's the father of the Minister Wang." The guard handed over the famous post. Li You took it and saw that the visiting was Wang Ji's father Wang Xun. Wang Ji is now highly valued under the rule of King Fu. No wonder his famous post can be delivered to Li You all the way.
"Hurry up and invite me." After Li You said that, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he quickly called the guard and took Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu and others to greet him in person. Not to mention Wang Ji's relationship, the person who came was an elder of his father-in-law's generation, and it was also appropriate to be a respectful person and a wise man.
When he arrived outside the camp, he saw that although Wang Xun was dressed in a blanket, he still looked calm. There was no anxiety or regret on his face of the Wang family being trapped in the enemy. There was only an old servant by his side, and there was no other man. When Li You came out, he immediately bowed slightly and said, "Wang Xun Langya has met the Grand Marshal."
Li You immediately returned the courtesy, "I heard that Brother Wang talked about the old man for a long time in the past. I really admire him when I saw him today." The family was almost uprooted and still so calm, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
After a few greetings at the camp gate, Li You immediately welcomed Wang Ji inside. Wang Xun looked at him without taking the opportunity to peek at the reality of the Jiazhou army. Instead, he said in a pun, "I am a little famous. No matter where I visited before, I only need to write the four words "Langya Wang Xun" on the post. I don't expect that today I can only enter with the face of a child."
This sentence is by no means blamed the guards guarding the gate, but it reveals another meaning. Now it is no longer the era of Wang Xun, Yang Jiefu, Lu Chengqing and others. In the future, the whole world will become the stage for young people, and the old people should gradually withdraw. Li You understood the taste after a moment of thinking, but he was still a little puzzled. If he was willing to accept this reality, then staying at the King of Jiazhou Mansion, why should he come here to visit him?
He buried this matter in his heart and came to the tent to sit and drink tea with Wang Xun. In addition to Sun Chuyang staying to accompany him because of his rough understanding of literature and writing, Qin Shixin, Zhou Bofu and others said goodbye one after another; Li You was not in a hurry to ask questions, anyway, if he had a purpose, he would definitely show it, so there was no need to ask questions.
"Congratulations to the Taiwei for restoring Duji Road. I just don't know when the Taiwei will attack Henan Road?" Perhaps because he felt that it was almost done, Wang Xun finally began to reveal the true purpose of his visit.
It seems that you are a high-ranking official under the King of Qi. Now that I have taken the Duji Do, which belongs to the King of Qi, you not only have no dissatisfaction, but also come to congratulate you. Can you really give up your position? Thinking so in your heart, you did not hide your true plan, "Now that Duji Do has just been taken, the army must clear the bandits everywhere, and I am afraid that there will be no way to attack Henan Dock for a while."
Although Dugi Province has no large army of the King of Qi, it is still not peaceful. Before, Dugi Province had been full of disasters and could not survive and had many forces that rose up. There were countless riots in various prefectures and counties who tried to take advantage of the names of gods and Buddhas, and they disrupted the world like the Hunyuan Sect at the time. Those officials and gentry who were despairing their official positions also had unwillingness to cause trouble everywhere. As for the bandits, there were more. It was indeed not possible to completely restore peace overnight.
Wang Xun nodded slightly, without seeing any disappointment, but instead praised, "I thought that the Taiwei Master won many battles and would definitely lead the troops directly to Henan Road. Unexpectedly, the Taiwei Master could calm down and restore people's livelihood. This move seemed to slow down the speed of unifying the world, but it was extremely safe. I really admire it."
This sentence was beyond the sincerity. Wang Xun thought that Li You was young and vigorous, and could not help but take down the temptation of Henan Province. However, now it seems that he is more calm than most people and knows that hasteness will not be understood. Although Li You's military strength is unparalleled for a while, Yuan Zhang is not so easy to deal with. He now has only 50,000 troops. It would be a good idea if he rashly went deep into the troubled soldiers of Duji Province and cut off his retreat. Instead, it would be better to fight as steadily as he is now.
In addition to the information obtained from many sources, Wang Xun had no doubts at this time. He politely said, "The Grand Marshal is far-reaching, but he can't sit idly by and watch Yuan Zhang take Henan Dao for himself. I am willing to help the Grand Marshal cause some trouble for him."
"Oh?" Li You suddenly became interested. The Wang family is a wealthy family in the world. They have been operating in Henan Road for hundreds of years. Although they are now escaping, they still retain a lot of connections in Henan Road. If he interferes with it, it is indeed not easy for Yuan Zhang to completely digest Henan Road and take it for himself.
"Before Yuan Zhang's army broke through the city, I knew that Henan Road could no longer stop them, so I immediately sent people to disperse all the food stored to the people of the countryside, except for a few hidden places. If Yuan Zhang wanted to support his 100,000 troops with Henan Road, he had to seize the food from these people. Moreover, our Wang family had already trained many regiments before, and now I have asked them to go up the mountain to find opportunities to attack the left-down Beilu. In addition to these people, more than 40% of the heroes from Henan Road can order people to contact them and let them follow the orders of the Taiwei. Among the government offices of various prefectures and counties, there are also many officials who surrendered to Yuan Zhang. The officials have received the favor of my Wang family, but they dare not say anything but follow them, but they will not sit idly by."
Wang Xun said one by one, showing Li You the foundation of the aristocratic family. Although Wang Xun has left Henan Road, with just one word, he can stir up huge storms on Henan Road, making Yuan Zhang unable to safely and steadily incorporate Henan Road into the rule of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
On the one hand, I admire the Wang family's background, but on the other hand, I am even more afraid of him. With such strength and being able to provide such capital, Wang Xun's request will not be small, right? What exactly does he want to do? "The old man's kindness really makes me reluctant to refuse, but what does the old man want me to do?"
"There are some descendants of the Wang family who followed me to escape this time. I heard that the Taiwei opened many schools of martial arts and mathematics in Jiazhou. My Wang family's children have always been interested in learning, and I hope the Taiwei will allow them to study in Jiazhou." Wang Xun's request sounded particularly simple.
He is really a scheming guy. Li You suddenly understood his intention. Wang Xun must have seen that he would not allow these aristocratic families to exist as before. So he chose to put the young people in the clan into various schools that Li You valued to show his support for this change. In return, these Wang family members would never have no way out. When Li You unified the world, their Wang family would still be rich. (To be continued.)
