Dao fruit.

On the second floor of the restaurant, several tables were drinking and talking.Please use to visit this site.

The situation outside the window just now seems to be just an episode. The common people have no news channels, no more than the officials, and they don’t know about the military disaster in the south.

However, students and Confucian scholars are very interested in the military situation. They just wrote down the military strategy in the rural examination yesterday, immersed in the pleasure of pointing to the southwest and making decisions for thousands of miles. Now that there is a military situation, they are aroused again. One is eager to try and express ideas.

"It shouldn't be the marsh people. The marsh people have long been subdued by the envoy of Song Jiedu and have lost their temper..."

"I guess, the military situation is very likely related to it. The Fanren are competing with the imperial army for Longyou. It is not surprising that the Fanren are splitting up a small group of troops to harass Jiannan. It is exactly the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao."

"That's right. Yesterday, I mentioned a point of view in the military strategy, which is called standing still. That is to say, no matter how the enemy fights, I just don't move and consume the opponent's strength. Anyway, I am rich in land and resources, and it is nothing to kill a few people. .”

"That's right, Brother Fang, I don't know what your opinion is about that policy question?"

……

"Brother Qiu, you are also a well-known talent, how about your strategy?"

Listening to the high-spirited discussions at the neighboring table, Zhang Zhen and the others did not see any response, but the Confucian scholars who were eager to talk asked from a long distance away.

At this time, Confucian scholars had already gathered on the second floor, and it was inevitable that they would compare themselves with each other.

"Brother Qiu, since someone asked, you might as well tell me your own opinion. My statement of 'diligence in martial arts' still has a lot of flaws. It should be improved by listening and thinking more. To be honest, I have always been very interested in the way of generals." Fang Ziyan also showed a curious look.

Qiu Yan shook his head and was about to refuse, but the words did not come out.It was interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Deng!Deng!Deng!

The sound of footsteps was heavy and muffled. Stepping on the stairs, there was a feeling of a storm, and one could tell that it was not made by ordinary footsteps.

Afterwards, three soldiers came up, dressed in brave attire and thick leather military boots, with anxious expressions on their faces.

As soon as the three soldiers came up, the entire second floor was suddenly silent.

then.The leader of the soldiers clasped their fists and asked, "I don't know who Qiu Yan and Mr. Qiu are? 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 hurried forward.

Observer Liu Jing received two more military reports just now, but many officials in the hall were helpless after discussing for a while, so he had no choice but to send someone to look for Qiu Yan.Ask about it.

There were quite a few people sent out, and the three soldiers were just one of them. They patrolled the streets and got the news.I rushed to the restaurant.

"This is Mr. Qiu?"

Following the gazes of others, the soldiers walked to Qiu Yan's table and saluted with fists clasped.

"I'm Qiu Yan, you are looking for me. What's the matter?" Qiu Yan stood up and returned the salute.

"Young Master Qiu, it's urgent. Please follow me to the government office. It's the observation envoy who wants to see you, so I can't disclose the specific situation." Speaking of this, the leader of the soldiers looked around.

Qiu Yan squinted his eyes and guessed the reason, so he didn't say any more, and after explaining a few words to Zhang Zhen and the others, he went downstairs with the soldiers. Before he could leave the restaurant, two more soldiers came looking for him.

After Qiu Yan left for a while, Zhang Zhen and Zhou Guan came back to their senses, looked at each other a few times, and saw suspicion and uneasiness in each other's eyes.

Around, many Confucian scholars also recovered from the silence.

"Observation envoy? That's the head of the herdsmen of our Jiannan Road!"

"Why did the Observation Envoy seek that Qiu Yan?"

"Does this Qiu Yan still have friendship with the observer?"

……

The students talked and discussed.

But Fang Ziyan's eyes were beating with jealousy, and then he smiled coldly and said: "Qiu Yan is really incredible, even the observation envoy looks at him differently, this must be sure."

These words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other Confucian scholars.

"That makes sense. I heard that Qiu Yandao tried to get the case, but there was something tricky in it."

"This person has a very close friendship with the prefect of Yuanning, and he sent a picture to flatter him before the exam."

"I heard that the observation envoy's son is also taking the exam this year. A few days ago, he returned to his hometown of Jingxiang. The observation envoy's son has a good friend who says he has extraordinary calligraphy skills!"

……

"This Fang Ziyan really has bad intentions."

Zhang Zhen and others became more dissatisfied when they heard these words, and Luo Jiayun wanted to stand up to argue, but Zhou Guan stopped him.

"Brother Qiu is not here, so it's inconvenient for me to stand up, otherwise I'll be used by that Fang Ziyan. The reason why he said this is to ask you and me to come forward. We can't fall into the trap. In my opinion, we should leave here first and make a long-term plan."

Zhang Zhen also said: "Brother Zhou Xian's words are reasonable, but Fang Ziyan is so smart that he dares to make up the rumors of the observers, and there will always be regrets." When he said this, he smirked, not knowing what he was up to.

Immediately afterwards, the three got up to pay the bill, turned around and left, making Fang Ziyan regret for a while, but then disappeared, chatting and laughing with others.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a dark blue shirt came upstairs and walked straight to Fang Ziyan.

As soon as Fang Ziyan saw this person, he immediately got up to greet him, and said respectfully, "So it's Mr. Li. Mr. Li is here. I don't know why?"

Fang Ziyan certainly recognized this person, this person was a diner at Yushi Li Qi's residence, he had seen him before when he visited Li Qi's residence.

Fang Ziyan intends to defect to the New Party and has connections with Pan Xiang, but he mainly followed Li Qi's line. Li Qi was a serious Jinshi, while Pan Xiang was only recommended. No matter how you look at it, his prospects are not as good as Li Qi's.

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 pass on the words of my master."

"Oh? Master Li has something to say to me?"

As soon as Fang Ziyan heard this, he immediately regained his spirits. Li Qi was still grading the papers, and it was difficult to leave the Gongyuan.

However, Mr. Li's subsequent words caused Fang Ziyan's complexion to change suddenly, from sunny to cloudy——

"My master asked me to tell you that all the schemes against Qiu Yan should be stopped. This person is a great talent. Instead of suppressing him, it is better to win him over. You can try to make friends with this person."

"What? Lord Yushi wants to let Qiu Yan go?" Fang Ziyan was puzzled.

Seeing this, Mr. Li smiled, and said earnestly, "Mr. Fang, I know what you're thinking, but how can there be any unresolvable hatred in this world? It's better to win over and become a right-hand man than an enemy? In the future, the officialdom doesn't necessarily require you to die, and besides, you and that Qiu Sheng don't have a deep hatred, please think about it..."

Fang Ziyan shook his head: "This is too absurd. Qiu Yan is close to Ma Yang. Once he steps into the officialdom, he will immediately become an obstacle. He needs to be killed before he becomes successful!"

Mr. Li shook his head, and just said: "I'm just giving a message, and you can make up your own mind about the rest." After saying that, he left.

…………

On the other side, 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 heavily guarded.

In the hall, all the officials looked at the scholar with suspicion, but when they thought of the military strategy just now, they didn't dare to take it lightly.

"Student Qiu Yan, I have met you adults." Qiu Yan raised his hand in salute without any timidity.

The list of the township examination has not yet been announced. He is just a scholar, but he has a reputation, so he doesn't need to be humble in front of officials.

"You are Qiu Yan?"

Liu Jing looked at this young scholar who was neither humble nor overbearing, and couldn't help feeling good: "You came just in time. With your intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess why you are invited here? Then I won't waste time..."

As he said that, he picked up the strategy on the table beside him and asked, "I just discussed it, and I still don't understand the use of the strategy."

The staff next to him immediately stepped forward and said: "Just mobilizing the soldiers, in terms of strength and combat power, it seems that it is not enough to fight against the marsh people. Compared with them, perhaps we should concentrate our forces and wipe out the enemy in one go..."

Qiu Yan was not too wordy. After he handed over his hands, he first listened to Liu Jing's staff give a general description of the situation, and then said: "The officers and soldiers are newly defeated, their morale is low, and their hearts are unstable. They are not suitable for fighting the enemy head-on. In fact, the internal instability, the tribes guessed each other, and divided the troops into two groups, one of which was used as bait, our army can use this as a breakthrough, and pay equal attention to suppression..."

Qiu Yan talked eloquently, and Qiu Yan could understand the movements of the marsh people through the deity, while the fan people relied on their demons to spy on them. As for the fat letter, although he led the army alone, he was always connected with the fan people. But there are also traces, and Qiu Yan can indirectly grasp the movement.

As the military saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Today, although Qiu Yan cannot control the situation due to his status, he has a lot of information, so he can make full use of the information asymmetry and thus gain a strategic advantage.

The internal contradictions of the marsh people, the strength and purpose of the fan people, and even the location of Fat Xin are all under the control of Qiu Yan, but in order not to be suspected, he still has to use analysis and guesswork to speak out, but from a superficial level In-depth, clear description.

The surrounding officials still had doubts at first, and then nodded involuntarily.

After about a cup of tea, Liu Jing affirmed Qiu Yan's words: "The method you said is relatively safe, you might as well write down a marching guide."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan said: "After all, the students are not familiar with Darui Army Town, they are just talking about it on paper. In this march and battle, we should let a general like Song Jiedu make a decisive decision." His words vaguely advised Liu Jing, Don't meddle in the command.

Liu Jing remained silent, and finally said with a smile: "Okay! If that's the case, I will pass on what you just said to the envoy Song Jie."

After he finished speaking, he ordered people to go down, and soon a Taoist priest came from outside the hall, with a broad robe and a wide collar, and a handsome face. As soon as he walked in, he saluted calmly, and finally looked at Qiu Yan.
