Chapter 145, Your Majesty, be more decent
"Master, I don't know where that human bone... comes from?"
"Ah, it is available for sale in Xiyangcheng Hospital. It is made of all wood. It has ten skeletons for adults and six skeletons for children. Although it is made of wood, it has good skills. It has also been painted with potions and painted to prevent insects and moisture..."
Speaking of this, Yuwen Wen couldn't help but promote it: "The clinic has been conducting promotions recently. You can get a 10% discount when buying three pairs of skeletons or more. If Cui Changshi is interested, he can buy a few pairs and go back to give it to someone. 『"
This kind of joke is not funny at all. Cui Dana coughed dryly and forced a smile: "The king is joking. It seems that the Imperial Hospital also has a human skeleton from Huangzhou?"
"That is, just as you must know the situation of the enemy and our army when leading troops in wars, if a doctor does not know the five internal organs of the human body, does not know the meridians and acupoints, and does not even understand the distribution of bones, how can he be a good doctor?"
Bored, the commander Yuwen Wen and the Chief Supervisor Shi Cui Dana began to talk nonsense. The origin of the topic was that Yuwen Wen asked the soldiers to hang up their bones and used a carriage to scare the defenders.
Cui Dana disagreed with this approach. He didn't think that Chen Jun would be scared to death. However, the human bones were indeed a bit cunning. At first, he thought Yuwen Wen was using real human bones, but the result was fake.
The topic was so unstoppable that it was nothing, but the timing was a bit wrong, because the army was preparing to attack the city, but the two of them were talking about topics that were irrelevant in front of the formation, which was indeed inappropriate.
The day before yesterday, the Zhou army attacked Xunyang Village, and Yuwen Wen led his troops to the south of the Yangtze River and pulled out the guards of the Fengkou in the Fengshuibian Fortress on the outskirts of the southern suburbs of the city. Next, he would attack the isolated Fengkou City.
The so-called isolation and helplessness are a window period. This window period is as long as ten days or as short as three days. Chen's army from nearby counties will come to reinforce. Of course, this kind of reinforcement seems nothing great to Yuwen Wen, but it will increase variables and increase casualties on its own.
If you die a fewer soldiers, you will have fewer graves. Besides, the fewer variables, the better.
The reason why he emphasized the fast attack this time was to defeat Chen troops in Jiangzhou as much as possible before the reaction was achieved, so as to avoid the situation of long-term siege, and at the same time reduce the logistical pressure.
For this day, Yuwen Wen prepared for several years, taking advantage of his advantage in the upper reaches of Jiangzhou, maximizing the ship's transport capabilities, using fast attack tactics, and even raising a large amount of materials for it and practicing various tactics.
Siege equipment such as siege machines that can be built quickly can achieve various ships from water to 6 attacks, soldiers and spearheaders who can fight in the rain (light rain), and a large number of materials prepared, emphasizing that they are "prepared".
When fighting in Jiangnan, it is very likely to encounter rainy days. You can't stay in the tent at this time, so as long as it doesn't rain heavily, you can't be idle. The speed of the attack should be as fast as possible.
Now it is finally moving to the city of Chengkou, ushering in the most critical battle node. Whether the next battle will be smooth depends on now.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen looked up at the sky. It was afternoon now, and all preparations were ready. If you delayed, you could finish work and have supper. He turned to Cui Dana and asked:
"Changshi Cui is in Yecheng, I want to hear some rumors?"
The topic became too fast, and Cui Dana felt a little confused: "King, there have always been many rumors in Yecheng. I wonder which one is the rumors that the King said?"
"It's just that there are rumors that I have an affair with Chen State, and there are various evil deeds of reselling military supplies, food and grass, and even human trafficking, etc.."
As soon as this statement came out, the generals next to him looked around and said something else. Except for Marshal Schoe Danah and the marching chief Murong Sanzang, the other generals present were all Yuwen Wen's "his own people". So I knew that the content of this rumor must be false, but I don't know what the two of them were thinking.
Murong Sanzang felt a little speechless. He had heard of the rumors that King Yuwen of Xiyang was acting strangely. This time it seemed that what he said was indeed true: This kind of destruction, whether there is or not, should not be said in public!
Murong Sanzang was "not sure about the truth and bystanders" and could pretend not to hear it. Cui Dana was the party involved, and he couldn't avoid such topics. Yuwen Wen directly picked up the words, and he could only make a fuss.
"Well, some people have indeed talked about this, but the Prime Minister naturally laughed it off."
Cui Dana is a veteran in the officialdom. When it comes to answers to sensitive topics, he neither agrees nor opposes the answers he made, which is the so-called official accent.
What does the implication mean: Does the Prime Minister know this kind of rumor (say)? I know.
What is the Prime Minister’s opinion? It is currently believed to be heard because there is no evidence for the time being.
The implication of Cui Dana's words is: As for when there will be evidence, it depends on whether you understand or not.
The Huangzhou General Administration Office confronted Zhou and Chen on the front line, and the Huangzhou General Administration Yuwen Wen vigorously promoted the industry of the prefectures and counties. According to news from various channels, Chen State merchants frequently appeared in Xiyang, which means that Yuwen Wen violated the ban and had been engaged in business with the enemy country for many years.
This kind of incident has long been heard by Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong, but the old minister did not argue with this matter at that time. Cui Dana, as the confidant assistant, certainly knew that it was strange:
What Yuwen Wen sold to Chen State was only cloth, books, glass mirrors, and various commodities, but there was no food or iron.
It is indeed wrong to do business with the enemy country, but it is a bit reluctant to invest in the enemy. Anyway, he is in charge of this little bastard, so the court far away in Yecheng is too lazy to get involved. At most, it is a reason for this matter and occasionally take control of Qi, Yuwen Liang.
Now Yuchi Dun, who succeeded to Prime Minister, also thinks the same way, so the topic of "The King of Xiyang affairs with the Southern Dynasty's capital and enemy stolen the country" is just a rumor, and it will only be appropriately mentioned when it is necessary to criticize Yuwen Liang.
The result is now that the person involved put the soaking shit on the table and fiddled with it.
Cui Dana thinks Yuwen Wen is really crazy!
"It seems that Choi Changshi seems to believe this rumor?"
"The king was joking, and the officials just thought this rumor was a sensation."
"One day, I will ask the emperor and the prime minister to uphold justice in the court and argue with those who have ulterior motives in public!"
"Uh... some people are just hearing, please calm down."
Yuwen Wen's words were astonishing, and Cui Dana almost blurted out, "Master, be more decent!", at least he held it in his mouth and changed his words. He felt that Yuwen Wen was a little out of tune, and probably his mind was really broken.
But soon Cui Dana came to his senses. He found that he had fallen into Yuwen Wen's language trap without realizing it, and his thinking and emotions were inadvertently mobilized. If the other party wanted to make a cliché next, he would probably have one set of things to be accurate.
Little fox, no wonder the Prime Minister looked up to you first!
When Cui Dana thought of this, he was secretly alert. Prime Minister Yuchi Jiong had a good evaluation of his grandson-in-law Yuwen Wen before, but he felt a little puzzled at that time. Now it seems that the old man has indeed seen countless people and has seen through Yuwen Wen's "true face".
Yuwen Wen doesn't care what Cui Dana thinks. He doesn't like to give people a handle when doing things. The "flaws" exposed for various reasons, such as doing business with the merchants of Chen, naturally, there must be a statement to go back to avoid being exposed to cause trouble in the future.
"As the saying goes, 're not afraid of fire', Cui Changshi will give me a testimony today."
"The subordinate official is stupid, please give me advice?"
