Chapter 59 [Strategize, guess the other party]
The saying "old cow eats young grass" is almost a private saying between husband and wife. A certain female war goddess who once conquered the world suddenly turned into an extremely well-behaved and well-behaved baby.
Gu Tianya took her hand, and the two walked to the brazier together. Xiaoqing and Xiaorou quickly stepped aside, and the two girls' faces seemed to be flushed.
At this time, the old lady suddenly spoke, as if to smooth things over: "Gu'er, mother is hungry."
Gu Tianya nodded quickly and said, "Eat, eat, let's eat now."
He is the male of the family, and according to the rules, he should take the first bite. Although he comes from a poor family, this etiquette has always been observed.
But this time, Gu Tianya didn't eat first. Instead, he stretched out his hand and tore off a roasted leg of lamb. Suddenly, he handed it to Xiao Qing with both hands and said solemnly: "In ancient times, there was a saying that guests follow the host's will, but his family is really poor, so...
I can only lend flowers to the Buddha and use this roasted leg of lamb as a thank you..."
He didn't wait for Xiaoqing to hesitate, and then added: "General, please don't refuse, because this is my gratitude."
After finishing speaking, he solemnly held the roasted leg of lamb in his hands, with gratitude on his face, waiting for Xiaoqing to take it.
Only then did Xiao Qing have the chance to speak and said: "You...you...Master Gu has already thanked you just now, why do you suddenly want to thank him again? I heard Miss Zhaoning say that Gujia Village has always abided by the ancient rules.
, whenever we have a meal... uh, when we eat, the male head of the house takes the first bite, so why should I eat first? You have already thanked me once."
She seemed to be nervous, so even her words seemed repetitive.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya shook his head and said solemnly again: "The thanks I gave you just now were for your personal kindness, but the thanks I have now are for leading the troops to rescue me..."
He paused for a moment and then added: "Today's events are quite twists and turns. Although I had expected that Sun Zhao would be tough, I didn't expect that the Sun family would dare to send out servants. If it weren't for General Qing, you would lead
The soldiers surrounded the Sun family. I am afraid that what happened today will have a different outcome. At that time, there were only twenty-one of us, but the other party had more than a hundred servants. Once the two sides started fighting, we were afraid that we would all be killed in the county government.
among.”
"They dare..."
In the small room, three women shouted softly at almost the same time, saying in unison: "How can the little Miyun Sun family have the guts to fight with us?"
Xiao Qing followed closely and said: "When I led the troops to surround the Sun family today, their whole family was trembling with fear. They were very timid and had no backbone. In my opinion, they were scared out of their wits. We can continue in the future.
If you continue to use this method to intimidate other aristocratic families to be so obedient, it may not take long before your wish can be fulfilled. Then all the occupied land will be recovered and returned to the people of Hebei Province..."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya slowly shook his head and said solemnly: "It's difficult!"
Xiao Qing was stunned and asked, "Is it difficult?"
Xiaorou spoke softly next to her, as if she wanted to encourage Gu Tianya, Rouju said: "Gu...Gu Tongpao, our Detachment of Women is very powerful. When there was chaos in the late Sui Dynasty, we even dared to fight Dou Jiande."
"I know!" Gu Tianya nodded, but then added: "But what we have to do now is not something that can be solved by leading troops to fight, but another special kind of struggle and contention."
He paused for a moment as he spoke, as if he wanted to sort out his thoughts. After a long time passed, he spoke again: "Today's battle between the Sun clan, it seems that we won, but I can be sure that we only won
A small game."
The three women in the room looked at each other, but none of them could figure out what he meant.
But Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said, "When you are fighting with others, you should put yourself in someone else's shoes. If I were the head of the Miyun Sun family, how do you think I would respond to today's events?"
The three women looked at each other again, each frowning and lost in thought.
After a long time, Zhao Ning was the first to speak and said: "With my character, I would naturally not want to suffer such a big loss."
Xiaoqing followed closely and said: "Me too, I won't suffer any loss."
Only Xiaorou thought for a while and said: "I might be patient and wait to see if Mr. Gu will make another move. If Mr. Gu only asks for land once, he will stop doing anything after today."
, then I will endure this tone, and at most we will no longer interact with each other..."
Gu Tianya was startled for a moment, then glanced at Xiaorou subconsciously and said, "You are a soft-hearted person, but unfortunately Miyun Sun is definitely not."
He stopped talking, looked outside the door, and said leisurely: "If I were the head of the other party's family, how could I endure this incident? The land returned to eight villages is small, but a bad start is big.
As the head of the family, I shoulder the high expectations of the entire family. If the family wants to continue its inheritance, land is the top priority. As long as we continue to usurp other people's acres, how can we tolerate others asking for them back. So, today's matter,
Can't bear it..."
Xiao Qing blurted out: "But we have soldiers and surrounded them today."
Gu Tianya glanced at her and said solemnly: "Sudden events cannot be regarded as common sense. Leading troops to siege is something that can only be done once or twice. Even if we have an army of 200,000, we can only besiege the family two or three times.
If it exceeds this number, it will inevitably cause an uproar, because these are not troubled times, and because the other party is not a rioter. The most important thing is that this can easily push the other party to extremes..."
He paused again as he spoke, and then continued: "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar today. Although the other party is only a family from one county, the families in the world have always shared the same hatred. We can lead today
If the soldiers go to surround the Sun family, will they also go to surround other families tomorrow? After the other party has this idea, they will definitely make a counterattack."
"How to fight back?" Zhao Ning suddenly spoke, as if he was very concerned about this.
Gu Tianya glanced at her and said in a deep voice: "First of all, let's speak to the court. After what happened today, the Miyun Sun family will definitely shout out their grievances. Maybe at this moment, they have already passed on the news. The interests of the aristocratic families are in alliance and marriage.
They are one, the Sun family lost eight villages of land, which is a bad start for all the aristocratic families, so they will definitely speak out through the court and want to suppress this trend under the rules."
"Is there a dispute in the court..." Zhao Ning murmured, suddenly smiled at Gu Tianya, and said: "You are just guessing about this kind of thing. After all, you have never met those people from the Tang Dynasty royal family.
I don’t know if their character is willing to admit defeat.”
"No, you are wrong!" Gu Tianya suddenly spoke, and then added: "I have met people from the Tang Dynasty royal family, and we just met Princess Pingyang a few days ago!"
He paused and then said: "The princess has a very strong character!"
Zhao Ning was startled at first, and then laughed again, with a slightly weird tone, and said vaguely: "Even if Li Xiuning has a strong character, it doesn't mean that the characters of other royal families are also strong? Maybe there are feminine people? Maybe it is.
There is a needle hidden in the cotton. If a noble family wants to start a dispute in the court, they may not be able to force the matter."
Gu Tianya nodded, as if he was persuaded by Zhao Ning's statement.
But he quickly spoke again and said: "The dispute in the court is the first-hand strategy. If I were the other party's family, I would definitely have second-hand tactics, such as exerting pressure from the local government."
Zhao Ning frowned and couldn't help but ask: "How to apply pressure?"
Gu Tianya sighed softly and said: "Control not to sell food."
Zhao Ning's expression suddenly changed.
Gu Tianya glanced at her and said: "Hebei Province has been in poverty for a long time, and now it is the cold winter season. Almost no one has overnight food at home, so they need to buy food from the family's shop. If the family suddenly unites to close the food store,
Guess whether our work can still be carried out."
Zhaoning stayed there, Xiumei frowned tightly.
Gu Tianya sighed again and said: "So, this matter is a big trouble, but although it is troublesome, I also have a solution. What really worries me is that the family may jump over the wall in a hurry."
Zhao Ning quickly looked up at him and asked urgently: "Why is a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry?"
Gu Tianya suddenly stood up, pointed towards the north, and said: "Collude with the Turks and move south in a big way. When the army suddenly rises, our women's army will definitely defend the territory and protect the borders. Under the huge pressure, it is difficult to have the energy to fight.
Returning to the land occupied by the aristocratic family, there is a 70% chance of this..."
