Treacherous ministers have deep routines

Lin Rang stared at Wei Man faintly, and Wei Man was almost taken aback by him.

Lin Rang said: "Since Wei Gong didn't do anything, why don't you... invite Wei Gong to taste Xiang'er's new sweet and sour pork, how about it?"

Wei Man: "..." Lin Rang definitely saw that he had sprinkled salt just now.

Lin Rang said, and handed the chopsticks to Wei Man.

Wei Man braced himself, he was pretending to be stupid just now, and it was not easy to refuse at this time, afraid of slapping himself in the face, he coughed and said: "This...you are so kind, it is not easy for me to refuse you , make you sad, then... just take a bite."

He said, biting the bullet, using chopsticks to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin with crystal bright salt particles, and slowly, extremely slowly sent it into his mouth.

Like a broken wrist, the strong man closed his mouth and started chewing.

"Hey!"

"Squeak-"

"Squeaky-"

At that time, the salt particles were naturally not as delicate as modern ones. Wei Man bit the bullet and chewed the sweet and sour pork tenderloin. It tasted salty in his mouth, and the moment it was salty, it was bitter. The thick salt particles were chewing in his mouth, Still grinding his teeth, those who don't know may think that Wei Gong is about to change his body!

Wei Man felt like dying from eating, this was the first time he ate salty, no, bitter sweet and sour pork, the taste was quite amazing.

Lin Rang watched indifferently as Wei Man ate a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin. After Wei Man ate a piece, he really didn't want to eat any more, so he quickly threw down the chopsticks.

Seeing his frowning, pitiful appearance, Lin Rang felt "unbearable" in his heart, so he kindly handed Wei Man an earcup of water.

Wei Man took it over with his hands, "Gudong Gudong!" Two mouthfuls, like a cow drinking, directly suffocated the water, which dilutes the bitterness in his mouth.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Lingxiang, who was watching the fun, seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and covered her mouth to laugh out loud, her round face turned red.

Wei Man was very shameless, but he could only pretend to be ignorant.

Since the sweet and sour pork tenderloin was covered with salt particles, there was no way to use it, so Xiao Lingxiang fried it again and made other dishes.

Lin Rang wanted to pass Yingzi Yunyun himself, but Wei Man stopped him and said, "I have something to do with Mr. Gu, so don't carry it over, let Xiang'er carry it over."

In fact, Wei Man just wanted to make an excuse, there was nothing wrong with it at all, he just didn't want Lin Rang to get closer to Ying Ziyun, and as for why, Wei Man didn't have an answer in his heart yet.

It can be said that Wei Man did not want to have an answer in his heart, because this answer made him flustered...

Lin Rang didn't bring the food over in person, Xiao Lingxiang took a few servants and brought the food over.

Naturally, Ying Ziyun didn't know how to eat. Not only did he not eat the food, but he also beat and cursed the servant who brought the food and knocked the food to the ground.

When Wei Man heard this, he couldn't help but sneered, and said, "Ying Ziyun is a tough guy, so it's okay to be shameless like this!"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, and then said, "We are holding a meeting in the council hall to deal with Ying Ziyun, who doesn't know what to do."

Wei Man urgently convened the council, and everyone knew before they got to the meeting hall that it was Ying Ziyun who angered Wei Man, and he was too ignorant.

Ying Ziyun is still unknown now. He followed Liu Bei a few days ago, and later returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. It was not yet the time when Ying Ziyun really showed his sharpness.

In Wei Man's eyes, Ying Ziyun like this is just a small ant, not worth mentioning at all, but he is stronger than his bones.

Simply overwhelmed.

Everyone rushed to the meeting hall to assemble, and all sat down. Lin Rang also heard about the incident, and came to the meeting hall together. Soon, Wei Man appeared as the last one, sitting in the position of the leader.

Wei Man's face was terrified, with a hint of ferocity, and he said coldly: "You must have heard that there is a man named Ying Ziyun under Wu De's command, who is extremely arrogant. Don't take Wei Gong alone In my eyes, now is the plan for Gu An to stabilize Tanzhou, if such things are spread, who else can be convinced and Gu?"

"My lord is polite."

"Then Ying Ziyun is really arrogant!"

"But I heard that he is a man of great talent."

Among them, the person who knows Ying Ziyun best is probably Sima Bogui. After all, Sima Bogui was Ying Ziyun's boss in the past.

Sima Bogui stood up and said: "My lord, I don't know. Although Ying Ziyun is a bit stubborn, he is indeed a talent. He is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also familiar with the art of war. He is a once-in-a-lifetime general. Yes, not only is there no rebellion in Ying Ziyun's nature, but he also won't be foolish and loyal..."

Many people have rebellious bones in the back of their heads, and they are naturally fond of betrayal.

Wei Man wondered if Jiang Duting had rebelliousness in the back of his head. If he didn't have rebelliousness, who would have rebelliousness.

Although some people are not rebellious, they are very foolish and loyal.

Like Mr. Duan Su, because Tong Gao appreciated his talent at that time, Mr. Duan Su would sacrifice his life for Tong Gao, even if he lost his life as a meticulous work, he would not hesitate.

For these two types of people, it is not good to turn back to the bone and say that it is not good to be loyal, and it is not good to say that it is not good to be loyal.

As for Ying Ziyun, Ying Ziyun is neither rebellious nor foolish, he is a rational, courageous and resourceful person.

Such a person is what Wei Man needs most.

Of course, what Sima Bogui meant was to tell Wei Man that Ying Ziyun was not a foolish and loyal person. The reason why he was loyal to Wu De was because of Wu De. Because of his reputation, Ying Ziyun is unwilling to follow Wei Man.

But Wei Man also has a ray of "life", because Ying Ziyun is loyal to Wu De's virtues, not the foolish loyalty to Wu De.

So Wei Man still has a chance to really impress Ying Ziyun and take it for his own use.

Doesn't Wei Man know this truth?Of course he knows.

But as the leader of one side, Wei Man still has to defend his own honor. If he is humiliated like this by Ying Ziyun, what is the majesty of being a state shepherd if he pays respect to a corporal?

Wei Man narrowed his eyes and said: "It's not that Gu can't tolerate people, but that Ying Ziyun really doesn't know how to flatter him. After all these days, Ying Ziyun still refuses to surrender. If he really starved to death in Gu In my hands, I am afraid that I will be accused of abusing famous people, so everyone has a good way to speak freely without taboos."

Lin Rang sat on the mat without saying a word, squinted his eyes, and said, "The humble minister has a plan, and he can draw from the bottom of the pot."

Wei Man heard him speak, and said: "Sir, if you have any plan, please tell me quickly."

Lin Rang stood up, cupped his hands and said: "The reason why Ying Ziyun refused to submit to the Lord is nothing more than two points, one is that he is loyal to Wu De, and the other is that he has not seen Wei Gong's virtue. "

The two points Lin Rang said are very correct. Ying Ziyun's refusal to surrender is a two-sided matter, not a one-sided matter.

Wei Man squinted his eyes, what should he do to solve the two shortcomings at once?

Lin Rang's face was cold, without worry at all, he said very calmly: "My lord will send someone to look for Wu De, write a letter to Wu De, and tell Wu De that as long as he can second Ying Ziyun to Wu De After Wei Gong has three months, Wei Gong can promise Wu De to return Wu De to the three thousand soldiers and horses that Wu De lost in Tanzhou."

When Lin Rang said this, the hall of the parliament was immediately chaotic, and discussions began.

"Wouldn't it be too much of a loss for three thousand soldiers and horses to be exchanged for Ying Ziyun alone?"

"Yes, three thousand soldiers and horses is not a small number!"

"And it's only on secondment for three months."

It was very common to borrow soldiers and horses at that time. It was not uncommon for many people to second their confidant generals to other people in order to unite with each other.

But with three thousand soldiers and horses, it is really rare to second one person for three months, it is simply a loss-making business!

As soon as Lin Rang's words came out, some people looked happy and looked at Lin Rang in great surprise. The leader was naturally Mr. Duan Su.

Mr. Duan Su stood up involuntarily, and said, "My lord, what Mr. Feng Xiao said is true!"

Some people think that Lin Rang's method is too bad, while others think that Lin Rang's method is just right and kills two birds with one stone.

At this time, Lin Rang explained unhurriedly: "Wu De fled selfishly, and the remaining three thousand soldiers and horses were mostly composed of refugees taken in by Wu De along the way. Although the number is considerable, it is not practical. Once Going to the battlefield, there will inevitably be many casualties, and staying under Wei Gongying will also consume food, so the gain outweighs the loss."

After his analysis, everyone immediately calmed down, looked at Lin Rang, and nodded. This is indeed the case.

Lin Rang said again: "Even so, why didn't Duke Wei use [-] soldiers to replace a general like Ying Ziyun? Just write to Wu De, although the [-] soldiers are old, weak and disabled, but Wu De escaped alone, lost Military power, how can we let go of this opportunity to regain military power? Wu De will definitely not refuse. If he does not refuse, he must personally send Ying Ziyun to Wei Gong, and only rely on Wei Gong to dispatch..."

As Lin Rang spoke, a slight sneer appeared on his face, and he seemed to be very comfortable, as if he was standing on the top of the peak, overlooking it at a glance.

Lin Rang said lightly: "Duke Wei, please think about it. Ying Ziyun, who vowed not to surrender, suddenly received a letter from the lord, telling him that he was seconded to Duke Wei, and he would obey Duke Wei's arrangement within three months. You are General Ying, what do you think in your mind?"

Wei Man smiled, what do you think?

Ying Ziyun is afraid that he will give up on Wu De at this moment.

His loyalty, but what he got in return was that when facing the precipice, the lord's step in the face of danger made him fall into trouble, how could he not make people give up?

On the one hand, Ying Ziyun can give up on Wu De, but on the other hand, within three months, Ying Ziyun must obey Wei Man's arrangement.

Lin Rang raised the corners of his lips and smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Within these three months, can't Duke Wei exchange for General Ying's loyalty?"

"it is good!"

Wei Man clapped his hands and laughed, and said, "Well said, you kill two birds with one stone."

Wei Man said again: "General Sima, Yuan Yun."

Sima Bogui and Xia Yuanyun immediately stood up, clasped their hands and said in unison, "Master!"

Wei Man smiled ferociously on his face, tapped the table with his slender and strong index finger, made a "da da" sound, and gave orders: "Go to Wu De immediately, release the news, and tell Wu De that I will return his soldiers and horses." , If such a big bait is released, Gu will not believe that he can still hide in the ends of the earth."

"Humble General!"
