But he didn't understand what the Misty Pavilion was up to. "Since it's the Misty Pavilion's idea, why didn't they be more direct with Yan and Han? Why did they ask for our help?"
"If they could do it directly, they wouldn't have to do it sneakily. Since they are sneaky, they must have their reasons." Gao Pin waved his hand. He didn't want to talk about this. He looked at the enemy's camp and asked, "I heard Meng Shanming is here?"
Yin Chu answered, "Yes. It's no secret. Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming came with great fanfare. According to our scouts, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming live on that hill. "He pointed in the distance.
Gao Pin stared for a while and sighed, "Shang Chaozong is not a problem. But Meng Shanming is a bit tricky. With this old man here, the Yan army won't be able to defeat him."
Yin Chu laughed, "People say that Yan Shanming, Qi Wuhen, and Huyan Wuhen, who are on the same level as Meng Shanming, were defeated by Marshal. I'm afraid Meng Shanming will also be defeated by Marshal."
Gao Pin looked back at him, "As long as you feel something is wrong. You are the one who disobeyed His Majesty and even killed the Princess's man. How did you learn to flatter him?" The so-called killing of the Princess's man was obviously referring to the killing of Chen Changgong.
Yin Chu chuckled, "Maybe I am flattering but not flattering. Our Jin has a strong army now. That's why I dare to say this. Huyan Wuhen can't stop them and Meng Shanming may not be able to stop Marshal. "
Gao Pin shook his head, his eyes filled with worry. He sighed, "It's not that I want to tarnish Huyan Wuhen's reputation. Although he is on the same level as Meng Shanming, I'm afraid he is still not as good as Meng Shanming."
Yin Chu nodded, "What do you mean?"
Gao Pin said, "In his life, Huyan Wuhen has only fought with Jin. What about Meng Shanming? You should know that this old fellow suppressed the State of Zhao in the west, forced the State of Han in the north, and subdued the State of Song in the east. He fought with all kinds of people and was truly tempered by hundreds of battles. "
"Last time, when Yan was on the verge of death, this old man came out of the mountain again with his old and crippled body. He forcefully turned the tide and dragged Yan back from the gates of hell."
"The Song Kingdom, which was supposed to be victorious, was attacked by him alone. The entire Song Kingdom was killed by him, causing everyone in the Song Kingdom to panic. Rumor has it that the mention of Meng Shanming's name in the Song Kingdom can stop a child from crying and make the Song Emperor, Wu Gongling, lower his voice. "
"Rumors can be treated as jokes, but that battle was a classic example of the weak defeating the strong. You have to know that it was won when the Yan army went deep into the enemy's territory without any supplies. If it were you or me, could we do it? Although our army is strong, how can we guarantee that we will not follow in the footsteps of the Song army? "
Yin Chu was silent.
Gao Pin's eyes swept to the direction of the Han army, "Meng Shanming is good at attacking and often uses attack to defend. But the Han army's commander, Jin Jue, is really good at defending … I heard that Shang Chaozong once said that those who are good at fighting have no illustrious achievements! I quite admire this saying. Jin Jue is this kind of person. "
"In terms of fame, he is not as good as Meng Shanming. In terms of military achievements, he is not even qualified to carry Meng Shanming's shoes. But it was such a person that allowed South Korea to stand firm among the previous seven countries. No matter how the situation changed, no matter how powerful the foreign enemies were, South Korea, with Jin Jue, has always been stable. "
"Brother, you have to know that Meng Shanming's legs were crippled by Jin Jue! Now these two people, one good at attacking and the other good at defending, joined hands to fight against our Jin Jue … Brother, as a general, you should know yourself and your enemy. This battle is not easy! "
Yin Chu could not help sighing, "That's why I said, I don't know what those sons of b * tches are thinking. They forced us to act hastily."
Gao Pin's eyes flickered and were deep, "If we want to win, if that person of my Jin Jue is willing to come out, this battle may be much easier."
Yin Chu, "Who?"
Gao Pin, "Imperial College's Governor Shao."
Yin Chu was stunned, "Shao Pingbo?"
Gao Pin nodded, "This person's talent is suitable to break the deadlock. Unfortunately, he was defeated by the joint efforts of all the ministers in the court, so he had to hide in the school and become a teacher. But even as a teacher, he is still the best. His adversity in the court has been revived by him. He is really a rare talent. "
"Previously, when I deployed troops to prepare for the Eastern Punitive Expedition, I had already anticipated the predicament before us. I went to him several times to ask for his help. After the capital was moved, I even paid him a visit three times with lavish gifts, but all of them were in vain. All I got was a word from him."
Yin Chu was quite interested, "What sentence?"
Gao Pin, "I don't know if he knew that the Misty Pavilion was supervising the battle, but he only advised me that now was not the time for the Eastern Expedition! I did not give up, so I went to His Majesty, but it was useless even if His Majesty came forward. This Governor Shao refused to come out even if he was beaten to death. "
Yin Chu, "Does he dare to defy the imperial edict?"
Gao Pin, "It's not that serious. I guess His Majesty also saw his usefulness in the Imperial College and did not force him too much. It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to rule it. His Majesty has his own thoughts, so I can understand his feelings. But after all, the world has not been conquered. Strength should be used on the blade. This Governor Shao hides in the back and does not come out. It is a pity. He is not someone who is willing to teach for the rest of his life. "
Speaking of the Imperial College, something touched Yin Chu's mind, and he suddenly coughed, "Marshal, speaking of Governor Shao's Imperial College, my wife often sends me letters to make a fuss. Sometimes she says that someone has entered the Imperial College, and sometimes she says that someone has been sent by the court to become an official after graduating from the Imperial College. One side is still a student, and the other is already an official for practice. As a woman, she is envious. Moreover, I have a young son at home. My wife does not want that boy to fight and kill on the battlefield … I heard that Marshal's eldest grandson has also entered the Imperial College?"
Gao Pin cast a sidelong glance at him, "What do you mean?"
"Sigh!" Yin Chu rubbed his hands, "It's not like you don't know what happened between me and the princess. It's really hard for me to speak up. If I speak up, won't I be exposing his scars? I don't know what Governor Shao will think later. That person is not a good person. He dares to arrest the family members of the court officials and throw them into prison. "
Gao Pin paused and remembered. He was annoyed and amused at the same time, "You also know that it's hard to speak up. You can't speak up about those things between the two of you, but I can? Why don't you speak to His Majesty? With your military merits, His Majesty will definitely make an exception for you. You should go and look for His Majesty. "
Yin Chu, oh my, "Do you think I can speak to His Majesty when it involves the matter of the Seventh Princess? If I really speak up, won't I be asking for trouble? The entire court doesn't want to get involved in this matter. I really can't find anyone, and my wife is noisy every day. I can't even focus on fighting the war. "
Gao Pin said, "Don't give me that. If your wife is noisy again, you can just divorce her and remarry again."
Yin Chu was dumbfounded and stared at him, "Marshal, I have followed you for many years, but there is no one like you."
Gao Pin said with his hands behind his back, "It's hard for anyone to speak up about this matter of yours. Other matters can be discussed, but I really can't help you with this matter. "
Yin Chu said eagerly, "I heard that Marshal and Governor Shao have a good relationship. Think about it again and see if you can think of a way to help."
Gao Pin said, "You're thinking too much. I do have some friendship with him, but it's not that good. It's not to the point where I can get involved in this family scandal."
Yin Qu glared at him and said, "Marshal, don't say it like that. I heard that the two of you have colluded together to make a fortune. When the war started, I heard that the two of you have been wantonly buying properties in Qi Capital. Now, you are making a lot of money. Who would believe that the two of you didn't discuss this in private? "
"Because of this, I finally returned home with great difficulty, but I was scolded badly by my wife. She said that it's all because of the war. Other people get rich from fighting, but I don't get rich. Not only that, but I also do things that offend people and even cut off the path of my descendants. I'm a dignified man, but I can't even lift my head after being scolded … "
Gao Pin was furious, "Nonsense, where did this rumor come from?"
Yin Chu said, "Is this a rumor? Your rich and powerful mansions and countless fertile fields are all there. I heard that you even bought a dock outside the city. In the future, all the ships that come and go from the capital will have to pay money to you. You are making a fortune by sitting on the land! With the prices of those properties, Marshal, you're overflowing with wealth. Who knows how many people are drooling with envy? I say, why didn't you tell me about this before? Now I'm scolded by my wife every day. Isn't that too much? "
"…" Gao Pin was speechless and pointed a finger at him.
Yin Chu said, "If I'm wrong, you can punish me according to the military law. If I'm not wrong, you can help me solve my son's problem."
Gao Pin waved his hand and said helplessly, "It's not what you think. I didn't expect Shao Pingbo to buy so many properties in Qi Capital at first. When I invaded and occupied the capital of Qi, I confiscated some of its properties. That was when I received his letter and discovered that he had a share in it. "
"After I asked and got a reply from the Black Water Group, I found out that Shao Pingbo bought so many properties in private for the convenience of doing things in Qi Capital and to find a cover."
"He bought them with his own money and made a great contribution. What could I do? Do you think I can confiscate his property? "
"Shao Pingbo wrote a letter saying that if there was a recurrence of the war in the future, these properties could still be used as a cover. Not only could I not confiscate them, but I had to help protect them. Of course, he also mentioned in the letter that I should buy some as well. He said that if I bought properties there, it would help to stabilize the people. "
"Then I thought about it. If I bought properties there, it would mean that the Jin Army had the confidence to stand firm in Qi State, and it would indeed help to stabilize the people. So I reported to His Majesty, and His Majesty thought it was reasonable. So I bought the confiscated properties from the imperial court at a price that no one was interested in at that time. "
"I didn't know that the capital of Jin State was going to be moved to Qi Capital. Why didn't the other people in the imperial court buy them? Facing Huyan Wuhen's attack, no one was confident. If they bought them, it would be throwing money into the water. Listen to me, I didn't want to get rich at that time. I lost money to stabilize the people. It's not as dirty as you think! " 4_4734/
