Zude?
Jiang Pengji searched in her mind before she could match the person.
"The Zude you mentioned, is it Tang Yao?" Jiang Pengji was not very interested in Wei Ci's past life. She rarely took the initiative to ask about it, unless she was bored and wanted to listen to stories to kill time. "Tang Yao and Jing Rong don't seem to have any interactions? Why are they fighting each other? "
"In their previous lives, Zu De and Jing Rong were both Huang Song officials. Zu De was born in an aristocratic family, so he attached great importance to his family status. Jing Rong was born in a poor family, but Huang Song put her in an important position. Of course the two of them didn't get along. The discord between them ran deep. " Wei Ci knew Jiang Pengji's temperament. Telling her these things would not affect her trust in Yang Si. "Her Majesty took the initiative to befriend Jing Rong and frequently gifted her with delicious food and delicacies. At first, it was nothing, but as time went on, Yang Si and Huang Song grew apart. After that, he used several successive stratagems to sow discord. Jing Rong had no choice but to seek refuge with His Majesty. "
Yang Si did not jump ship because of his gluttony, but the cause of his jump ship was indeed because of his gluttony.
In his previous life, if it weren't for Tang Yao's godly assistance, the possibility of Yang Si taking the initiative to jump ship wasn't high.
Jiang Pengji listened with great interest. She did not forget to mock him.
"I'm afraid that Jing Rong is going to regret his actions. If it's recorded in the history books, the future generations will know that he made a mistake because of his gluttony."
This reason was really shameful.
She could totally imagine what the students of later generations would call Yang Si —
Foodie.
Wei Ci pursed his lips and smiled.
Wasn't that right?
In his previous life, Yang Si had often hugged him and poured out his grievances. This dark history was simply an unspeakable pain in life.
Jiang Pengji asked again, "What about Tang Yao?"
Wei Ci lowered his eyelids and said lightly, "After Huang Song was defeated, he committed suicide."
He wasn't lying, but he wasn't completely lying either.
Under Huang Song's command, Tang Yao often gave Yang Si a hard time. The two of them were always at loggerheads with each other. Tang Yao even used the excuse of being drunk to point at the mulberry tree and scold the locust tree that Yang Si was the 'son of a prostitute'. Yang Si endured the humiliation. Later, when Huang Song was defeated, he returned the humiliation to Tang Yao. In the end, Tang Yao could not bear the humiliation and was forced by Yang Si to commit suicide by hitting the wall. It couldn't be said that Yang Si was wrong in this matter, but his means of revenge were indeed somewhat vicious.
Wei Ci did not want his lord to be dissatisfied with Yang Si because of this.
Jiang Pengji did not question further.
"Tang Yao should be compiling books with Master Yuanjing now, right?"
Wei Ci said, "This is more suitable for him. It's also safe for him."
The world was in chaos and the feudal lords were in internal strife. It was either you die or I live.
With Tang Yao's temperament, he would be fine under any lord, but he was indeed not suitable for Jiang Pengji.
The pride of an aristocratic family had long since melted into his bones and was deeply rooted. It wasn't something that could be corrected with just a few words.
Rather than letting him come into contact with power and provoke discord among the forces in Wanzhou, it was better to let him make the best use of him and follow the teacher in writing books.
Not to mention anything else, Tang Yao's knowledge and literary talent were truly impeccable.
"You're right. Writing books is more suitable for him." Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows. She was short of manpower at the moment, but she would rather have none than have a substandard one. Tang Yao was indeed talented, but he was indeed not suitable for her at the moment. "He won't quit while he's ahead like Jing Rong, and he won't take the initiative to give in like Wen Zheng."
The biggest possibility was that he would argue for what was right and put everyone on the spot.
Jiang Pengji and Xu Bei had completely shed all pretense of cordiality. After Gu Xu Gorge, she had Qiguan Rang write a declaration of war.
The previous declaration of war was a public condemnation, but this one was an official declaration of war.
When Xu Bei received the declaration of war, he flew into a rage. He immediately sent someone to write a declaration of war to scold them.
It was a joyous scolding battle.
As the conflict of public opinion escalated, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties became more and more intense. Xu Bei followed Han Yu's previous suggestion and mobilized his troops in preparation for war. Jiang Pengji was not to be outdone. She occupied the Qi Chuan plains to train her troops, and at the same time, she ordered the rear to transport more weapons and rations.
At this juncture, Xu Bei played a trick in private.
He sent a messenger to Huang Song's side to persuade him, preparing to form an alliance with Huang Song to resist Jiang Pengji. This suggestion was jointly proposed by Han Yu and Cheng Xun. The officials in the tent all agreed. Although they didn't want to admit it, compared to Jiang Pengji, Xu Bei's military strength was indeed inferior.
Everyone knew that once Xu Bei fell, Jiang Pengji's next target would be Huang Song. The two of them had a mutually dependent relationship.
No matter what schemes Huang Song had in mind, he couldn't remain indifferent.
Huang Song quickly replied and formed an alliance in private.
To express his sincerity, Huang Song even sent a very special woman to Xu Bei.
Xu Bei was speechless.
Did he seem like such a lecherous person?
Xu Bei was born in the Xu family. What kind of woman couldn't he get? Why did he have to play with a married woman?
Yes, Huang Song had sent him a woman who had turned over a new leaf. This woman had married four husbands and caused the death of four of them.
When Xu Bei heard about this, he was so angry that he almost exploded.
Was Huang Song trying to form an alliance, or was he playing a prank on him?
Until he read Huang Song's reply.
"Is this true?" Xu Bei furrowed his brows. "Can we really use this woman to drive a wedge between Yang Si and Liu Xi?"
The skinny woman knelt on the ground. Beside her knelt a thin and weak little boy.
According to Huang Song's letter, this woman had a history with Yang Si. The little boy beside her was Yang Si's only child.
In the battle of Cang Prefecture, Jiang Pengji and Huang Song had peacefully divided the two counties of Cang Prefecture and Chenzhou.
The two counties of Cang Prefecture belonged to Jiang Pengji, while Chenzhou belonged to Huang Song. Chenzhou happened to be Yang Si's hometown.
Not long ago, this woman had been arrested by her neighbors and sent to the magistrate's office for killing her husband. According to the law, she should have been beheaded in public. However, she mentioned Yang Si, and this case was handed over to Huang Song. After a round of investigation and interrogation, the woman confessed that she and Yang Si had a past when they were young.
Huang Song had been tricked by Yang Si so many times that he hated him to the core.
When he heard the woman's words, he immediately paid attention and sent people to investigate.
Yang Si's hometown was in Chenzhou's Jiangding County. This matched the woman's testimony. What they found later also matched the woman's testimony.
This woman had killed her fourth husband because he had beaten her son.
Huang Song's intuition told him that he could make a fuss about this.
However, he didn't dare to agree with Yang Si's taste.
Yang Si was the son of a prostitute, yet he had impregnated another prostitute and had given birth to a son …
Hehe …
Huang Song said to the woman, "I heard that Jing Rong is still unmarried and has a very pitiful life. He will definitely bring you and your daughter back and treat you well."
The woman shrunk her shoulders and hung her head low. She looked timid and timid, but when she heard Huang Song's words, her eyes lit up.
Her eyes were filled with greed. Huang Song was very satisfied.
He handed the woman and the child over to Xu Bei's messenger.
How Xu Bei operated was none of his business.
Yang Si used his own experience to illustrate a saying —
A man sits in his tent, and a pot falls from the sky.
When the two armies started the war, they first probed the enemy on a small scale. Jiang Pengji ordered Qin Gong and Yang Si to lead 20,000 troops to Longshui in Shanghai County. This was the place where Qichuan Plain and Shanweng Town bordered each other. They would hold back a portion of Xu Bei's troops. Another 30,000 troops were dispatched to launch a probing attack on Zhe County to find out the enemy's strength. The remaining troops were to stay behind and wait for the situation to change.
