第686章 面圣
有钱能使鬼推磨。

有钱也能让姜汤文见到养病的李阁老。

李阁老头发花白,瘦削如鹤,但目光如电,射人不敢仰视。

不知为何,姜汤文一见到李阁老就知道,李阁老和佟太师是完全不一样的人。

电光火石间,姜汤文改变直接道明来意的想法,而是告诉李阁老自己是西夏来使,想要面圣。

李阁老深深地看了一眼姜汤文,然后垂下眼眸,端茶送客。

姜汤文等人留一些见面礼后,便出了阁老府。

“老大,你刚才为何不直接跟他道明来意?”申车心疼送出去的见面礼。

那可是一箱子宝石,贼贵!
按照计划,这箱子宝石是用来贿赂李阁老的定金。

可是却被姜汤文当成见面礼送出去了。

姜汤文小声道:“世人都传李阁老两袖清风,刚正不阿。他如此爱好名声,如果我们道明来意,他肯定不能同意。”

申车傻眼:“那我们岂不是白来一趟?”

姜汤文勾起嘴角:“怎么会白来呢?他不也没明着拒绝吗?且耐心等等,若我们能成功面圣,那就是说明李阁老愿意和我们合作。”

姜汤文没有说,如果不能成功面圣会是什么样的一个结果,因为他觉得李阁老肯定会同意的。

果不其然,没出五日,就有宦官来通知他们准备面圣,并且教授了他们面圣的礼仪。

在金钱的诱惑下,宦官还告诉了他们一件不大不小的事。

李阁老在朝会上提起西夏派使来访的事,想要定下面圣的时间,却遭到佟太师的驳斥。

佟太师说并没有收到西夏方面的官方奏请,所以不能肯定姜汤文等人西夏使者的身份。

两方人马好一顿争吵,最终还是大周皇帝拍板,私底下召见姜汤文等人,不走官方正常流程。

姜汤文送走宦官,心里对大周朝堂的阵营有了清晰的认知。

佟太师并没有他表面上表现的那样反对云国公。

李阁老也没有坊间传言的那般公正无私,但他是针对云国公,还是因为钱,还需要进一步的观察。

大周皇宫比姜汤文想象中的还要繁华,一草一木都散发着奢靡的气息。

一路上,申车看的眼睛眨都不眨,他以为万统城是最繁华的,最坚固的,最漂亮的城池。

万统城里的皇宫,是神仙才能住的地方。

可它和大周皇宫相比,一个在天上,一个在地下。

年轻皇帝在自己的御书房召见他们。

姜汤文先是一顿吹捧,然后才道明自己的来意。

“呵?和你们,吐蕃合作?”年轻皇帝冰冷淡漠的眼神落在姜汤文身上,像是在看蝼蚁一般。

西夏屡次被大周打败,有什么资格跟大周提合作?
至于吐蕃,确实是个麻烦,但也不是解决不了的麻烦。

让年轻皇帝生气的是,西夏和吐蕃是觉得自己打不过顾南夕呗?
年轻皇帝懒得再听姜汤文不自量力的话语,只觉得自己当初脑子抽了,为什么要因为反对佟太师而同意见他们?

真真是浪费时间!
年轻皇帝挥挥手,想让内侍把姜汤文带出去,就听见殿外响起急促的脚步声。

“报!八百里加急!”

……

新郑县外二十里处,谢蕴章率领中军和一千前军汇合。

谢蕴章长得虽然是一副儒生的模样,治军却十分严格。

每日扎寨时,栅栏要怎么建,壕沟怎么挖,尖刺怎么摆,谢蕴章都会细问。

谢蕴章带着手下们巡视军营,一边观察着弓箭,矛杆是否完好,士兵们是否能适应冬日行军,身体可吃得消?
甚至连营中随地解手都要严查!
营中的士兵不大理解,谢将军何时变得如此龟毛?拉屎在哪拉,不能喝生水,每天都要洗手,细节要求到令人发指。

谢蕴章理直气壮道:“细节决定成败。你们可快满足吧,知道这些细节,是我们花费了多大的代价才从云州弄过来的吗?云州士兵天天如此,既然他们能做到,你们也能做到!”

士兵们无话可说,或许是有想说的,但不敢说。

军官们则双眼发亮,耳朵竖得直直的,一双大眼睛像探视灯似的,来回扫视军营。

这可是云国公的治军秘籍!学到了!
巡视完军营,谢蕴章把中高层军官召集到主帐中,安排明天的攻城事宜。

“我们的目标不是一个新郑县,而是整个河南郡!不要一味鲁莽往前冲。根据探子的消息,县城内守军数不过三千人,刨除流民和农夫,真正能战之兵不足一千。你们到时候可得悠着点。”

主帐内的气氛很轻松。

己方兵力几乎是对方的十倍,要人有人,要物资有物资。

拿下新郑县是十拿九稳的事,大家伙儿想的是如何漂亮地拿下它,以及这天降的功劳,该谁去拿?

“将军,让我去吧!打头仗还是得拨个头彩,我手下的大部分是老兵,肯定会完成的又快又好!”

“将军,这个小小的任务还是让我来吧!有将军坐镇后方,此时正适合让新兵练手。”

“你没听见将军说,要留着力气打后面的县城吗?探子说,那女将军就在新郑县内,这么硬的骨头,该我来啃!”

“可拉倒吧!你无非是想抢功劳!”

一群军官争着吵着要去捏这个软柿子,甚至动起拳脚。

最后,谢蕴章拍板,让他的副将带头去拿一血。务必从从气势上压垮叛军的心理防线,使其升不起反抗的意志!

与此同时,新郑县城内,元娘也得到了谢蕴章在城外驻扎的情报。

看来,明天就该是一场大战了。

“城墙修好了吗?”

杨澜:“修好了。”

“让兄弟们今晚吃好,早点睡,留足精神,明天打一场硬仗。”

杨澜欲言又止。

刚才他去营地里转了一圈,村里的叔祖劝诫他,不要瞻前顾后,不要想着随时投降,只要挺过这场难关,整个葫芦村就站起来了!

理虽然是这个理,但杨澜一想到对面密密麻麻的士兵,心肝就发颤。

“将军,李明德那边派来的人何时到?”

元娘叹口气:“应该快了。”

After Binding with the Maternal System, I Became a Slacker.

绑定慈母系统后,我摆烂了
Author:

After Gu Nanxi died from overwork, she bound a kind mother system and entered a book to become the matriarch of a noble family. The entire household was filled with villains, and ultimately, they all faced execution. Whether dead early or late, death was inevitable; it was better to lie flat and wait for it. The indecisive eldest son was a lovesick fool who ultimately squandered their family fortune for a merchant girl and even lost his life. After Gu Nanxi arrived, he no longer hesitated or chased after the merchant girl; instead, he carried "Five Years of Spring Imperial Examination, Three Years of Simulations" and followed Gu Nanxi daily, saying, "Mother, the teacher wants the parents to sign the papers; hurry and sign!" The sickly second son wanted to venture into the world, but in the end, he was framed by bandits, which implicated the whole family. Gu Nanxi had him lie down in the sun while reading martial arts novels, saying, "You might as well wander the fields; you might just save a disaster victim and become a master!" The second son’s eyes lit up: "Mother makes a good point!" The youngest daughter, who dreamed of becoming an empress, tirelessly provoked trouble for the favored concubine, only to end up in the cold palace. Gu Nanxi tossed her the housekeeper's keys and "The Thirty-Six Stratagems," saying, "If you can't even sweep your own room, how can you rule the world?" The kind mother system was in distress: "Is this how you're supposed to use the secret manuals I gave you? Is there such a thing as a kind mother?" Gu Nanxi could lie down for twenty hours a day, with the remaining four hours used for eating: "If you're capable, you go handle it." Gu Nanxi's nonchalant attitude turned the entire noble house upside down. Unexpectedly, the eldest son became the youngest premier, the second son was a general guarding the borders, and the youngest daughter became a renowned virtuous empress.
