Chapter 253: The meeting in the hall decides the countermeasures
"Do you want to join the Literary and Art Army?"
Holding his chin, Yao Ruoyu looked at Wang Jin standing in front of the desk with a smile and asked.
He was reading a book in the house, but Zhou Zhi suddenly brought Wang Jin to him, saying that Wang Jin had found him and expressed his hope to join the Literary and Art Army. Zhou Zhi had advised Wang Jin many times earlier, but unfortunately he failed. Now his friend finally realized that he planned to apply for it. Zhou Zhi was naturally very happy and immediately brought Wang Jin to find Yao Ruoyu.
For some reason, although he and Yao Ruoyu were both in the fourth realm, but when the other party looked at him like this, Wang Jin felt that his body was cold. It was not the feeling of being seen through, but as if the prey was being spied by a hunter.
After calming down, Wang Jin looked left and right, and Yao Ruoyu immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one dares to monitor here."
Zhou Zhi was stunned when he heard this and looked at Wang Jin suspiciously, not understanding why he was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on the side if he wanted to apply for it.
Grinning, Wang Jin ignored the pressure in his heart for the time being and said directly: "Li Huo came to me yesterday afternoon and said that he had contact with Guang'an City. The Guang'an army will attack the city again in seven days. At that time, he will lead the elites of the Xixia tribe to ambush the city in the city and attack you from behind while the battle is fierce."
Zhou Zhi was shocked when he heard this and said in horror: "What?"
"What's scaring?" Wang Jin said angrily, "He also said that most of my former subordinates are now serving as city defense forces in Diaoyu City. As long as I am willing to contact them to take action secretly to stop the news of Hezhou City, I will be able to serve as the lord of Hezhou City at that time."
"It's so sincere!" Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Then why didn't you agree?"
"I said I'm considering it," Wang Jin glared at Yao Ruoyu viciously and snorted, "But although I don't feel good about you, no matter what, they are all Song people. Those Xixia dog thieves want to instigate me to rebel, and they think beautifully."
After a little silence, Yao Ruoyu smiled with a complicated expression and nodded: "Thank you, then you come this time..."
Wang Jin replied: "Of course I want to find an official and fool Li Huo so that he can think I can help him block the news."
"I understand, since that's the case..." After thinking for a while, Yao Ruoyu ordered, "Zhou Zhi, I remember that you are the commander of the city defense of Diaoyu City now? Then let Li Huo be your side as a deputy commander."
At that time, whether under Yang Yiming or the previous city lord, Zhou Zhi and Wang Jin were both the chief and deputy commanders of the city defense army. Now that they have regained their positions, even though Wang Jin is unruly, he has inexplicably had a bit of complex emotions.
Just as the three of them were talking, the guard outside the room suddenly knocked on the door and said aloud: "Sir, Li Huo is asking for a visit."
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao," Yao Ruoyu laughed and shouted, "Let him come in." After saying that, he asked Wang Jin and Zhou Zhi to stand aside for the time being, waiting for Li Huo to enter the house.
A moment later, Li Huo had already arrived at the study. He glanced at Wang Jin and Zhou Zhi suspiciously, then came to the table and bowed with fists, and said with awkward expression: "I have seen the leader."
"What's the matter?" Yao Ruoyu asked casually, then he pulled out a memorial and started reading it.
Seeing that he was casual and contemptuous, Li Huo's eyes were even more hatred, but he did not do anything in the end, but whispered: "It was the fault of me who bumped into the military office a few days ago. Today I would like to give a reward. Please do not be surprised by the leader." After that, he had already pulled out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Yao Ruoyu's table.
Yao Ruoyu glanced at the gift list, picked it up and read it several times, and suddenly laughed and said, "Spiritual Fire Glass Cup? What is this?"
Li Huo explained: "This is my famous ornamental spirit weapon in Xixia. The flames in the glass cup dance like spirits, which are extremely beautiful, and are particularly loved by women."
Yao Ruoyu suddenly realized and looked at the gift list again. He found that in addition to the ornamental items such as the Spirit Fire Glazed Glass Cup, most of them were spiritual medicines and gold and silver. These were things that could not be used in the short term. It seemed that Li Huo had also spent some time thinking. He thought that this person could still get these things back after the mutiny in seven days.
After thinking about it, Yao Ruoyu nodded: "The things are good, I am very satisfied. This matter was exposed. I hope that the leader of Clan Li will do his best in the future. The king will be sure of military power. Don't have any more thoughts."
Li Huo bowed his hand and turned around and wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, Yao Ruoyu suddenly said, "By the way, I know about you two, then Li Huo, you will be Zhou Zhi's deputy, and manage the city defense force in Diaoyu City from today."
"Affect the order." Li Huo and Zhou Zhizhi started acting and immediately bent down to salute.
Then Yao Ruoyu asked the two to retreat and walked out of the study with Li Huo.
After walking out of the leader's mansion, Li Huo glanced at Wang Jin with some suspicion, and then smiled at Zhou Zhi: "General Zhou, this person is..."
Zhou Zhi laughed in his heart, but also pretended to explain: "This man who used to manage the city defense force with me, but later he retired after the city-state was established. He was persuaded by me today to continue to serve as the deputy commander."
"Oh?" Li Huo smiled and bowed, "Li Huo, Director of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Works."
"Li Huo." Wang Jin bowed his hands lazily, not even thinking of taking the other person seriously.
However, the more casual he was, the less doubtful Li Huo was in his heart. However, this person had always been suspicious and thought about it, but he decided to go to Wang Jin tonight and ask carefully what was going on.
After Li Huo, Wang Jin and Zhou Zhi left, Yao Ruoyu sorted out the copywriting submitted by each department today. After the processing was done, he went straight to the Ministry of Personnel to look for Xu Xuanrong.
At this time, Xu Xuanrong was still working in the study room, and Song Kai was there. Xu Xuanrong was not surprised when he arrived, but smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to do," nodded to Song Kai. Yao Ruoyu walked to the desk and sat down. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, smacked his lips, and smiled helplessly, "Oh, I haven't drunk a carbonated drink in almost a year."
"That thing is not good for the body, why are you drinking it?" Xu Xuanrong laughed and asked, "What the hell is it?"
Yao Ruoyu briefly described the incident of Li Huo planning to collude with Wang Jin to plot chaos, and then smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Xu Xuanmeng glanced slightly at the corner of his lips and sneered: "He is not very brave, but he is, after all, he is not a Song Dynasty person, but he is not afraid of attracting Yang Gujun in the future?"
Song Kai shook his head and said calmly: "There are conventions among all countries, and the eight realms cannot be easily taken. Then the strongest people in the Yanggu Army will be the sixth realm. The Xixia tribes have strong people in the sixth realm and have the support of the Jin Kingdom, so they are naturally not afraid of the Yanggu Army."
Shrugging, Xu Xuanrong held his chin thoughtfully and said with a smile: "What are you planning?"
"Since they have a rebellious intention, then just start the fight first and directly attack the generals to suppress it," Yao Ruoyu put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Now there is only one of the Xixia tribes in the city, and the remaining few five realms are not worth worrying. I will deal with it if I can."
"What's the reason?" Xu Xuanrong laughed and said softly, "After all, they have not been in chaos. If you take action directly, what would the Dali tribe think? The rabbit died and the fox was sad? Be careful to provoke them to take action!"
Yao Ruoyu smiled slightly when he heard this. Although he relied on his sword soul's ability to suppress the lower level of the fifth level or even the sixth level, if the masters of the two clans gathered together, he would not be sure to deal with it.
"So, the best way is to force them to make trouble when we choose." Xu Xuanrong smiled.
"When we choose?" Yao Ruoyu pondered for a moment, while Song Kai asked lightly: "Seven days later?"
Xu Xuanrong smiled confidently and nodded: "Yes, he will definitely gather elites of the Xixia clan by then. How could he not arouse suspicion? Even if we show a warning attitude, he will have to rebel if the arrow is on the string."
"What should I do with the Dali tribe?" Yao Ruoyu thought for a while and suddenly asked, "They should not have participated in this matter yet, but I don't know if they will participate in the past seven days..."
"They don't know," Song Kai rolled up his sleeves and said coldly, "Although the two tribes support each other over the years, they can occupy this city now. In order to ensure the dominance of the Xixia tribe in the future, Li Huo will definitely not let the Dali tribe participate in this matter, and may even use the power of the Jin Kingdom to weaken the Dali tribe."
Yao Ruoyu immediately laughed and said, "Kai Kai has always been very accurate in seeing other people's weaknesses!"
Didn't hear whether he praised or demoted him, Song Kai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I will leave the Dali tribe to deal with it. I will definitely not let them interfere in this matter. However, the Xixia tribe is the Western Xia royal family after all, and the foundation must be quite large. At that time, there will be a lot of preparations, so I still need to be careful."
"The left and right are just kings against kings, soldiers against soldiers," Xu Xuanrong smiled casually, "With you here, there is no need to worry about the sixth and five realms of the Xixia tribe, but the four five realms of Guang'an are a little troublesome..."
"You and Old Minister Bai can deal with one separately," Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly and sighed, "If I go to deal with the remnants of Xixia, no one will be able to deal with Wanyan Zhu and Wanyan Xiao."
"Let me leave the Xixia tribe, I just need to lend me some people."
Unexpectedly, Song Kai suddenly raised his head, and his handsome face was filled with a faint confidence. The two looked at each other after hearing this, and Yao Ruoyu nodded: "Since that's it, then I'll leave the Xixia tribe to you. Who do you need to borrow?"
Song Kai thought for a while and said, "The three division commanders of Yang Doudou, Li Huan and Chen Meng were also seconded to me. I need someone to protect me."
Yao Ruoyu nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "No problem, then Mengmengda and I will concentrate on dealing with Guang'an."
"I wonder if the person behind Wanyan Qiongyu will take action, but what strategy can he use this time?"
Xu Xuanrong suddenly smiled with a little self-deprecating smile: "The first time he was determined and unintentional, so he surpassed me in strategy. Now he has been exposed, so I want to see what means he can use."
"Be cautious, I always think this person is not simple." Seeing that she seemed a little excited, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but frown.
"You are just suspicious by nature and too cautious," Xu Xuanrong covered his mouth and joked with great brilliance, "In the battle in seven days, after this confrontation, we will definitely be cautious here and not give each other a chance. Since that is the case, the Xixia clan is the only chance, and if he wants to start, this is the only point."
Yao Ruoyu thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "You should be careful. If Wang Jin is a double-faced spy, it will be extremely dangerous to have two-faced and three-pointed swords at that time."
"Then do you think he is dangerous?" Xu Xuanrong couldn't help laughing.
Yao Ruoyu suddenly stopped, and after a few breaths of silence, he smiled bitterly: "I don't think so."
"Will that be over?" Xu Xuanrong narrowed his eyes, chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said softly, "Seven days later, I will let that person know that the person dares to plot against us behind his back, which is more wise than wisdom... I have never been afraid of anyone!"
