Chapter 208 Qiu Yanbing
On the second floor of the restaurant, several tables of people were drinking and talking.
The situation outside the window just now seemed to be just an episode. The people of the people had no news channels, no matter how much officials were, they didn't know the war in the south. After scolding the messenger, although some people went to investigate the reasons, more of them were returning to normal.
However, students and Confucian scholars were very interested in military affairs. They had just written down military strategies yesterday in the provincial examination and were immersed in the pleasure of guiding the southwest and making decisions thousands of miles away. Now when they heard about military affairs, they were rekindled to try and express their ideas.
"It shouldn't be the swamp. The swamp was long overwhelmed by the Song Jiedushi and lost his temper..."
"I guess the military situation is very likely to be related. The foreigners are fighting with the imperial army for Longyou, splitting up small groups of people and harassing Jiannan. It is not surprising that they are joining the plan of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao."
"That's right. I mentioned a point yesterday, "I'm going to hold on to it, that is, let the enemy fight, I just don't move, and consume the opponent's strength. Anyway, I have a great land and a wealth of things, and killing a few people is nothing."
"Yes, Brother Fang, I wonder what your opinion is?"
...
"Brother Qiu, you are also a famous talented man, and you don't know what to do?"
Listening to the nearby table talking loudly, Zhang Zhen and others did not respond, but the Confucian scholars who were in the forefront of the conversation started asking from a distance.
At this time, Confucian scholars had gathered on this second floor, and they were inevitably comparing with each other.
"Brother Qiu, since someone asks you, you might as well talk about your own opinions. My statement of "diligent in speaking martial arts" still has many flaws. You should listen and think more to slowly improve it. In fact, I have always been interested in the way of generals and soldiers." Fang Ziyan also looked curious.
Qiu Yan shook his head and was about to refuse, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a burst of rapid footsteps.
Thumb! Thumb! Thumb!
The footsteps were heavy and low. When you stepped on the stairs, you felt like a storm and rain. You could tell at first that it was not ordinary steps.
Then, three soldiers came up, dressed in brave clothes and thick leather military boots, and looked anxious on their faces.
As soon as these three soldiers walked up, the entire second floor suddenly became silent.
Then, the soldier in the lead clasped his fists and asked, "I don't know who Qiu Yan is Mr. Qiu? Please come forward."
After saying this, many people subconsciously turned their heads to look at Qiu Yan in the quiet second floor.
Seeing this scene, the three soldiers immediately knew the reason and rushed forward.
The observation led to Liu Jing receiving two more military information reports, but many officials in the lobby discussed for a while, but they were helpless and forced to send someone to find Qiu Yan and ask.
There were many people sent out, and the three soldiers were just one of them. They patrolled the streets and after they got the news, they rushed to the restaurant.
"This is Mr. Qiu, right?"
The soldiers followed the eyes of others and walked to Qiu Yan's table, holding their fists and saluted.
"I am Qiu Yan, you are looking for me. I wonder what's wrong?" Qiu Yan stood up and returned the gift.
"Mr. Qiu, the matter is urgent. Please follow us to the government office. It is an observation that the master wants to see you, but it is inconvenient to disclose the specific situation." Speaking of this, the soldiers in the lead looked around.
Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes, guessed the reason, and stopped talking to Zhang Zhen and the other two, and then followed the soldiers downstairs. Before he could walk out of the restaurant, two more soldiers came over.
After Qiu Yan left for a long time, Zhang Zhen and Zhou Guan came to their senses and looked at each other for a few times, all of which saw a hint of doubt and uneasiness in the other person's eyes.
Around him, many Confucian scholars also recovered from silence.
"Observer? That's the leader of the herdsmen in Jiannan Road!"
"Why did the observant master look for Qiu Yan?"
"Is Qiu Yan still having a relationship with the observer?"
...
The students talked and discussed.
Fang Ziyan's eyes were jealous, and then he smiled coldly and said, "Qiu Yan is really amazing. Even the observation made the adults look at him differently. This juren must be sure to be sure."
These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other Confucian scholars.
"This is reasonable. I heard that Qiu Yandao tried to take the case, but there was something wrong with it."
"This person has a close relationship with the prefect of Yuanning. Before the exam, he sent a picture of the letter to flatter him."
"I heard that the son of the Observer took the exam this year. He returned to Jingxiang a few days ago. The young master of the Observer had a good friend, saying that he had extraordinary achievements in calligraphy!"
...
"This Fang Ziyan is indeed malicious."
When Zhang Zhen and others heard these words, they became more and more dissatisfied. Luo Jiayun wanted to stand up and argue, but was pulled by Zhou Guan.
"Brother Qiu is not here, so I can't stand up, otherwise I will be used by Fang Ziyan. The reason why he said this was to inspire you and me to come forward and not be trapped. In my opinion, I should leave here first and make a long-term plan."
Zhang Zhen also said: "My brother Zhou is right, but Fang Ziyan is smart and dares to arrange rumors about the observer. There are always times when he regrets it." Speaking of this, he smiled wickedly, not knowing what idea he was going to do.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them got up to pay the bill, turned around and left, which made Fang Ziyan feel regretful, but then disappeared and chatted and laughed with the others.
Not long after, a famous middle-aged man in dark blue clothes walked upstairs and walked straight to Fang Ziyan.
When Fang Ziyan saw this person, he immediately stood up and greeted him, saying respectfully: "It turns out to be Mr. Li. Mr. Li is here, I don't know what's going on?"
Fang Ziyan recognized this person as a diner in the censor Li Qi's mansion. He had seen him when he visited Li Qi's mansion.
Fang Ziyan intends to join the new party and has connections with Pan Xiang, but he mainly follows Li Qi's line. Li Qi is a serious Jinshi, while Pan Xiang is only recommended. No matter how he looks at it, his prospects are not as good as Li Qi.
As soon as Mr. Li came, he asked Fang Ziyan to follow him to a corner of the building, and then said, "I came here to convey my master's words."
"Oh? Is Mr. Li who has something to say to me?"
When Fang Ziyan heard this, he immediately became energetic. Li Qi was still placing papers and it was difficult to leave the tribute court. It would be difficult to pass the message, but he deliberately asked someone to come to find him, which shows his importance and of course made him happy.
However, Mr. Li's subsequent words made Fang Ziyan's face suddenly change, and it turned into cloudy-
"My master asked me to tell you that all the strategies against Qiu Yan were stopped. This person has great talent. Instead of suppressing him, it is better to win over him. You can try to make friends with this person."
"What? Lord Censor wants to let Qiu Yan go?" Fang Ziyan looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Mr. Li smiled and said earnestly: "Mr. Fang, I know your thoughts, but there is no hatred in the world that cannot be resolved? Some people are very talented, and others are jealous, but if they can win over it and become enemies, it will be better than becoming enemies? In the future, the officialdom will not necessarily be a life-and-death battle. Besides, you and Qiu Sheng have no deep hatred. Please think about it..."
Fang Ziyan shook his head: "This is too ridiculous. Qiu Yan and Ma Yang are close to each other. Once they enter the officialdom, they will immediately hinder them. They need to kill them before they become popular!"
Mr. Li shook his head and said, "I'm just telling you, but you'll have the other ones." After that, he left.
……………………
On the other hand, Qiu Yan followed the soldiers to the center of Jiannan City, entered the yamen, and went straight to the lobby.
There are soldiers everywhere in the government office, and the guards are very strict.
In the hall, all the officials looked at the scholar and seemed a little suspicious, but when they thought of the military strategy just now, they did not dare to underestimate it.
"Student Qiu Yan, I have met you all." Qiu Yan raised his hand to salute without showing any timidity.
The list of provincial examinations has not been announced yet. He is just a scholar, but he has fame and fortune and does not need to be humble in front of officials.
"You are Qiu Yan?"
Liu Jing looked at the young scholar who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him and couldn't help but feel good: "I came just right. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult to guess the reason for asking you to come here, right? That official will not waste time..."
As he said that, he picked up the Bing Ce on the table beside him and asked, "We have just discussed it and are still puzzled by the use of troops."
The aide next to him immediately stepped forward and said, "Just mobilizing the garrison soldiers, in terms of their strength and combat power, it seems that they are not enough to fight against the swamp. Compared with this, perhaps we should concentrate our troops and annihilate the enemy in one go..."
Qiu Yan was not long-winded. After bowing, he first listened to Liu Jing's aides and general description of the situation, and then said: "The officers and soldiers were newly defeated, their morale was weak, and their hearts were unstable. They were not suitable for fighting against the enemy. However, the swamp seemed to have many soldiers, but in fact they were unstable internally. The tribes speculated on each other, and they were divided into two groups, one of which was used as bait. Our army could be a breakthrough point and give equal importance to suppressing and pacifying..."
Qiu Yan talked freely about the movements of the swamp people, Qiu Yan could understand them through his own deity, while the foreigners rely on the inner demon to spy on them. As for the fat letter, although he led his troops alone, he always had connections with the foreigners. In this way, there were traces of them, and Qiu Yan could indirectly grasp the movements.
Military corporations say that you know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.
Today, although Qiu Yan cannot control the situation due to his identity, he can fully utilize the ambition of information and gain strategic advantage after mastering a lot of information.
The contradictions within the swamp people, the strength and purpose of the foreigners, and even the place where the Birth Xin is located are all under Qiu Yan's control. It is just to avoid being suspected, but it must be expressed in an analysis and guesswork tone, but from shallow to deep, the description is clear.
The officials around him had doubts at first, and then nodded.
After about a cup of tea, Liu Jing affirmed what Qiu Yan said: "What you said is more reliable, so why not write a next article on the marching command."
Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan said: "Students are not familiar with Darui Army Town after all, and they are talking about war on paper. In this marching battle, generals like Song Jiedushi should make a decision in the face of the battle." His words vaguely advised Liu Jing not to interfere in command.
Liu Jing said silently and finally smiled, "Okay! Since that's the case, I will convey your words to the governor of Song."
After saying that, he ordered someone to go down. A Taoist priest soon came outside the lobby, with a wide robe and a handsome face. As soon as he walked in, he saluted calmly and finally looked at Qiu Yan.
"I have met Mr. Qiu after I was not yet continued." (Please search for Astronomy in Huan, the novel is better, and it is updated faster!
