However, Di Renjie's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively: "Is this the other meaning of what the Lord just said?"

Yang Fan nodded, then shook his head.

This behavior made everyone even more confused.

Is what Di Renjie said right or wrong?

This time Yang Fan didn't keep everyone waiting. He looked at the letter in his hand and sighed: "Ding Fang is really a rare military genius, and he has won my heart!"

"After he arranged this matter, it gave a certain room for his plan to go further. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone!"

"Originally, I just wanted to let go of the Shanyue people to contain the Jiangnan nobles and make friends with the Shanyue people. However, Dingfang did not send reinforcements immediately and instead asked Suzhou City for help. This gave me a new idea."

Seeing everyone's confusion, Yang Fan said: "So many Shanyue people can arrive in Suzhou without anyone noticing. Do you think there will be no officials here involved?"

"Although Su Dingfang sent people to ask for help, I am sure that those with evil intentions will do everything possible to obstruct it, and the reinforcements will definitely be delayed."

"Since these people don't want us good, they are our enemies. Why not take this opportunity to get rid of them in one fell swoop?"

Everyone suddenly realized that Su Dingfang did not immediately send troops to come to rescue, but instead chose to go far away for this purpose!

Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Yang Fan said again: "Of course, there is a more important point. In addition to being loyal to the imperial court and doing things for the people when we go to the south of the Yangtze River, don't we want to gain some merit for ourselves?"

"Speaking of meritorious deeds, do you think it is more meritorious to defeat the enemy in one blow, or to fight to the death against an enemy several times stronger and finally charge with all your might to turn defeat into victory?"

Everyone thought for a moment, looked at each other, and replied in unison: "Of course it's the latter."

Although the results of both are victories, the former's process of defeating the enemy in one fell swoop was a little too mundane.

There is a sense of taking it for granted, which does not bring any impact at all.

But the latter is completely different.

After all, the latter is a majestic image of a man who refused to surrender in a bloody battle and charged to the death in the face of a desperate situation, which better reflects the difficulty of victory and his strong will.

Comparing the two, their achievements are completely incomparable!

It's just that no one understood the reason why Yang Fan asked.

However, Pei Xingjian had an idea and seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Yang Fan with his mouth wide open in astonishment and asked, "Do you want to exaggerate the difficulty of this trip to your majesty?"

Yang Fan made no secret, waved his hand and said matter-of-factly: "How can you say that the difficulty is exaggerated? We are besieged by dozens of Shanyue people, that's how it is!"

"Besides, what kind of ministers do superiors like the most? Of course, they are the ones who face difficulties head-on. Do you think that's right?"

We are all not fools, so we naturally know who the superiors like.

However, what does this have to do with the current situation?

Pei Xingjian rubbed his confused head and asked again: "Master, this is completely different from our situation. Those Shanyue people pose no threat to us at all!"

Looking at this future capable military general, Yang Fan said angrily: "I thought you were smarter than them all, but I didn't expect that you still have a big head."

"Haven't you ever heard that you have to overcome difficulties when there are difficulties, and you have to create difficulties even when there are no difficulties? Are you thinking this way?"

Pei Xingjian was immediately speechless!

What does it mean to create difficulties when there are no difficulties?

But when Yang Fan said this, everyone present understood.

Of course, some people feel ashamed to have such a shameless boss like Yang Fan.

However, Yang Fan was accustomed to the bad habits of officialdom in later generations. He did not feel ashamed. Instead, he taught: "We serve as errands for the emperor. We have to do things and do them well. But when we do things, we can't just work hard. We need to be flexible and think."

What the emperor wants."

"Under the premise of pursuing victory, we should let the superiors know our hard work as much as possible so as to maximize our achievements."

"Which of the people who come with us doesn't do it for the glory of their family, and who doesn't do it for their own future?"

"If we kill all the people in Shanyue at once, or pacify Jiangnan in one battle, how will we write our memorial?"

"Could it be said that when I encountered Shanyue's rebellion and was deeply surrounded, the whole army fought back with all their lives and killed all of Shanyue, and that's the end of it?"

"If there is much merit to be gained from such a mediocre performance, it would be completely different if we slow down, don't rush out, don't attack from a flank, just stay here, and then send out a message for help."

"Go... don't stand there stupidly, go get two pieces of white cloth!"

Xi Junmai quickly went to the baggage area to dig out pen and paper, then took two pieces of white cloth and spread them in front of Yang Fan.

Looking at the pen and ink he brought, and just about to dip it in the ink, Yang Fan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly put the pen aside and said to Wang Xiaojie: "Go to the corpse and get a jar of blood."

Wang Xiaojie ran to the Shanyue man's corpse and filled a jar of human blood, then returned to Yang Fan in a few strides.

Yang Fan drove away all the dandies and craftsmen who were following him, leaving only a few trustworthy ones, and then dipped his fingers in blood and wrote on the white cloth.

"I was ordered to go south. When passing through Suzhou, I unfortunately encountered the Shanyue rebellion and was trapped in a dangerous place. Facing dozens of times more enemies, the soldiers fought hard and were unable to defeat them, and were in deep trouble."

"As the official of the Tang Dynasty, I will not succumb to thieves. We and our team intend to stick to our integrity and repay His Majesty's grace."

"If Wei Chen can lead a counterattack and escape, it is really a blessing for Wei Chen. If Wei Chen unfortunately dies, when the imperial army annihilates Shan Yue, I hope that Your Majesty will bury the bones of the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the souls of the soldiers will forever guard our country.

Tang territory..."

Only then did Pei Xingjian fully understand Yang Fan's intentions.

Then he put his hand on his forehead again, feeling a little speechless. Dear sister, this formation is so big that even the last pen of the book was written in blood.

Di Renjie, this little cunning guy, had eyes shining with admiration on his face. He thought Yang Fan was really awesome!

Unconsciously, the future prime minister became more slippery.

Zhai Changsun, on the other hand, was filled with envy.

If he had been so spiritual when he was the leader of the Xuanjia Army, he would not have become an abandoned lieutenant now!

People are so irritating!

A person's ability is really not calculated based on age.

I just don’t know where Yang Fan knew these official principles at such a young age. This is such a thief!

Seeing everyone's shocked looks, Xi Junmai and Wang Xiaojie looked proud.

My father-in-law is different, and everything he says and does contains hidden meanings.

Yang Fan wrote two pages in one breath, and his fingers were almost worn out!

As the blood dried up on the cloth, Yang Fan kneaded the cloth vigorously into a wrinkled ball, then handed it to Xi Junmai and said:

"Later, you can find a few smart people and Wang Xiaojie to deliver this piece of cloth in two parts, and then send it directly to the guard stationed in Suzhou, and ask them to expedite 800 miles to send the 'blood book' to Chang'an. Remember

, when the blood letters were delivered, they were one day apart..."

Di Renjie suppressed his laughter and his heart was pounding. How could he still play like this?

Wang Xiaojie's face was full of excitement. He was shocked that Yang Fan was a man of heaven. He was shocked that he would not take credit for his achievements.

After this blood letter is delivered to the emperor, he still cannot become a loyal and martyr?

He is a fifth-grade general, so he has to go one step further.

As an old man in officialdom, Zhai Changsun is naturally well-informed, but he doesn't take it seriously.

Of course he knew that the army often played tricks like this to ask the emperor for money and merit, but it was just not as bad as Yang Fan's.

Pei Xingjian felt that there was something wrong with this matter, but after thinking about it carefully, only a few of them knew the details, so he felt relieved.

After all, this prince even sent away Quan Wanji, leaving them alone, which shows how much he trusts them.

Besides, given this gentleman's character, if he doesn't do something, will Yang Fan still be the stick that everyone fears?

As for Xi Junmai, he followed Yang Fan's advice and carefully wrapped the "blood letter" in two pieces of oilcloth.

One piece was handed over to a smarter guard, the other piece was handed over to Wang Xiaojie, and the details were carefully explained.

These people are all hidden masters. There is really no one who can match them in walking through the mountains and forests.

As long as they weren't fighting head-on, Xi Junmai wouldn't worry at all about the other party being able to stop them.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Yang Fan patted Wang Xiaojie on the shoulder and said cautiously: "Be safe on this trip. I wish you a safe journey. I will lead someone to make some noise in a while to attract the attention of the people in Shanyue. You take the opportunity to go down the mountain."

, go find Su Dingfang first after coming down the mountain and let him do this..."

After saying that, Yang Fan led Zhai Changsun and the others down the mountain slowly from the front.

Due to the deliberate noise, dust was flying on the hillside. When the Shanyue people hurriedly came out to stop them, Yang Fan quickly led his people to retreat to their positions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xiaojie quickly hid in the jungle with a few guards, as if he had merged with the forest.

After several repetitions, the Shanyue people were exhausted from the tossing and realized that Yang Fan just wanted to harass them and didn't bother to pay attention to them.

As long as Yang Fan didn't escape, they didn't care what Yang Fan's purpose was.

But no matter what, Yang Fan's several provocations made Lei Kunming furious.

This is so fucking bullying!

Of course, it was people like Zhang Liang who made him angry the most.

I originally wanted Zhang Liang to lead a charge, but this guy refused many times because he was not good at mountain fighting.

If he hadn't been seriously injured, he would have wanted this guy to look good.
Chapter completed!
