Chapter 1106 Asking price is too high
Li Jing said: "I think this is an opportunity, but it requires some sacrifices. Cong Jia, tell us about the ideas we discussed. Master Liu and Taoist Wu Yazi don't know our plan yet."

Wu Yazi was not present when Li Jing and his party were discussing. Li Jing asked Huangfu Jixun to find Liu Renshan first, and then discussed with everyone, and by the way, went a step late to listen to Liu Renshan's opinion.Li Jing asked Huangfu Jixun to do some other things first, so Huangfu Jixun was late.

Li Jing deliberately went to find Wu Yazi first on the way to Liu's mansion, and then the group talked about it while walking, but they only mentioned this matter, and did not mention the result of their discussion.So Wu Yazi didn't know what Li Jing was thinking.

"Yes~!" Li Congjia said: "Now that the spring rain has begun to fall, the navy has already assembled and will be dispatched immediately when the water in the river rises. As Mr. Liu said, it will take half a month. Zhou Jun thought It will take at least two or three days to evacuate, but...if the pontoon bridge on the Huaihe River is destroyed, it will take several days to repair the pontoon bridge. If we can destroy the three newly built pontoon bridges in Dazhou at the right time, If so, then there is a great chance to trap the Zhou army east of the Huaihe River, and when our army cuts off the Huaihe River, it will be the end of the Zhou army."

The more Li Congjia talked, the more excited he became, as if the opportunity was right in front of him, as long as he followed his plan, he would surely defeat Zhou Jun.

But this plan is really good. Although some luck is needed, as long as Zhou Jun’s pontoon bridge is destroyed, it will take several days to build another pontoon bridge. When the spring rain is falling and the river is rushing, it may not be possible to build it in a few days. good.

As long as it is delayed until the Southern Tang navy takes control of the Huaihe River Basin, the Zhou army will be trapped east of the Huaihe River. At that time, even if they want to jump into the Huaihe River and swim to the other side, their sacrifices will be in vain.The water army hardly needs to attack, as long as the Zhou army is trapped, there are plenty of ways to kill them.

This time the Zhou army came with nearly 20 soldiers. If all the 20 soldiers were killed or captured, the Zhou army would fall into an unprecedented crisis.At that time, there is no need to prepare anything. It is not a problem to attack Xuzhou directly and drive all the way into Bianliang City.

"This plan is feasible!" Liu Renfan said excitedly: "Your Majesty is indeed a genius of the world. Although there is still half a month, as long as the pontoon is destroyed, the Zhou army's retreat can be delayed. As long as the navy controls the Huaihe River, the Zhou army can be captured in one fell swoop. The army may even capture Chai Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others alive."

Li Jing was very happy to hear that Liu Renshan agreed with this plan so much. This defender who only knows how to defend but not attack agrees with this plan, which is naturally very subtle and easy to understand.

"Of course, this plan is absolutely feasible." Li Jing said excitedly: "But it does need some luck. It just depends on when the Zhou army withdraws. Before they withdraw, destroy the pontoon bridge. I hope it can be delayed until the navy arrives."

"Father, in fact, we can also destroy the newly built pontoon bridge of the Zhou army and the progress of their construction of the pontoon bridge. For example, if we throw a lot of driftwood upstream, the impact of the driftwood going down the water will be very strong. If it hits the soldiers of the Zhou army, A piece of driftwood can kill several people."

"It makes sense." Li Jing turned to look at Wu Yazi, who was at the back of the team, and said to himself, "Master Wu Yazi, what do you think of this plan?"

"Silence is golden. Last year I took money, so I offered some advice. This year I didn't take money, so I didn't speak. I recognize money but not people, so you can pretend that I don't exist." Wu Yazi said: " As the saying goes, a word is worth a fortune, but I talk a lot of nonsense, a small opinion may turn into a long speech, and I will empty the Nantang treasury by then."

Despise, everyone despises this shameless Taoist priest.I have never heard of such a thing that an expert outside the world actually recognizes money but does not recognize people.

However, the people present also knew how high Wu Yazi's fees were. He only received a thousand taels of gold for being a bodyguard, and ten thousand taels of gold for being a staff officer. How much is the prime minister's salary for a year?Although Wu Yazi is much more useful than the prime minister, Li Jing is not a fool, he doesn't have so much money to waste.

The money for building the Shouzhou fortifications was originally paid in advance. Now that the salt tax revenue is even less, how can Li Jing still have so much money?It's not that I can't afford it, but I can save it if I can.

In such a situation, there is no need to seek Wu Yazi's opinion. Anyway, Shouzhou is indestructible, and it is just a trial attack. If it succeeds, it will completely change the relationship between Dazhou and Southern Tang. , from passive to active.

It doesn't matter even if it fails, it's just sending a unit to destroy the pontoon bridge, and it's just a loss of a unit if it fails.

So this time they don't need Wu Yazi's opinion, they can make up their own minds.After all, no matter what Wu Yazi said, he was just an outsider. Li Jing was the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Of course, he didn't need to ask for other people's opinions, but he could listen to them when necessary.

"It's too expensive..." As an emperor, it is difficult for Li Jing to say what is too expensive.But he couldn't afford Wuyazi's "a thousand pieces of gold".

Most people are okay, but Wu Yazi talks too much nonsense.Originally, a few words can express the meaning, sometimes he needs a long period of explanation and deliberation.There is no way, Wu Yazi's two favorite things to do are talking and beating people, this is something you know after getting in touch with him a lot.

Li Congjia said: "It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not. Daoist Wu Yazi, you can just say yes or no. One word, or two words, we can still afford the money."

"Are you sure you want to pay? You won't renege on your debt."

"I can afford to give you this little money, but you can only say yes or no." Li Congjia was the only person in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty who knew Wu Yazi's identity. Of course, he would not default on his debt.What's more, Li Congjia knew very well that Wu Yazi was easy to mess with, and his master Zong Xin was really not easy to mess with.Although Shouzhou's current defense is so strong, it is only against mortals. If Zong Xin is allowed to attack the city, it will not be difficult.

Of course, this time Li Congjia deliberately wanted to show off his ingenuity in front of Wu Yazi, and finally seized this opportunity to wipe out the entire Da Zhou army in one fell swoop. As His Highness Da Zhou, let's see if he is in a hurry.

"No."

When Wu Yazi said no, everyone was surprised. This perfect plan is clearly feasible, even if it fails, there is no loss, but if it succeeds, it will completely change the situation of the battle.Why did Wu Yazi say no?

"Daoist Master Wu Yazi, whether this plan fails or succeeds, it will have no effect on us. Why do you say no?" Li Congjia didn't believe his words, at least not at this time.

He thought that Wu Yazi was King Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and this plan had the possibility of success, so Wu Yazi was a little scared.In order to get everyone to cancel this idea, that's why he said 'no way' to get rid of this idea in this way.

But this is absolutely impossible, because the effort of this plan is extremely small and the success rate is extremely high.Once successful, it is an opportunity to turn the tide of battle.

Wu Yazi said: "Because 'OK' is one word and 'No' is two words, of course I have to earn 1000 taels more gold. It's not difficult for me to explain, one word is worth a lot of money."

"Are you a bandit?"

"How can a bandit make so much money? I am much better than a bandit." Wu Yazi had a face full of shame, no one could do anything to him.

If it was more than a year ago, Li Congjia still had the confidence to defeat him, but now Li Congjia really has no confidence that he will win, and it is just martial arts.Li Congjia knew that Wuyazi had inherited the strange knife from his master, which had almost no solution.

If the two of them fight, Li Congjia and Huangfu Jixun should be able to kill Wu Yazi safely and without injury, but if they fight alone, even if their martial arts is slightly better than him, they may not be able to guarantee victory, let alone facing His knife would be dead if he made a small mistake.

Of course Li Congjia didn't want to fight Wu Yazi, what's more, he was just a little bit shameless, which was bearable.

Wu Yazi's casual 'No' really caught the attention of many people. Li Jing and Li Hongji still trust this money-greedy and shameless Taoist priest very much.But neither of them understood why Wu Yazi said 'no'.How good is the plan?

However, since Wu Yazi had already said one word is worth a thousand dollars, of course it was impossible to continue to ask. After all, he dared not refuse to give him the money he promised, but if he was asked to explain this issue clearly, he would evacuate the Southern Tang treasury.

Li Hongji has seen with his own eyes how powerful Xiaoyaozi is. Even if Wuyazi now cannot subvert the entire Southern Tang Dynasty, as long as he is willing to call him master... Not to mention Shouzhou's current defense, I am afraid that the entire Southern Tang Dynasty will be defeated by them. The master and the apprentice were completely destroyed.

Having said that, such a good plan cannot be abandoned just by the words "Wu Yazi".

Li Congjia said: "It's okay, it's okay, he just wanted to earn 1000 taels of gold more, so he said no. We don't need to read his opinion... I'm a bitch, I wasted so much money and changed two words." Wu Yazi said You'd better stop talking, someone will send money to your house naturally."

Of course Wu Yazi didn't speak, how could a genius be willing to discuss with a group of fools?Ever since Tian Ya met Li Hongji, he had never discussed something, and Tian Ya usually guides these people to do things.But this time they figured it out on their own.

Obviously, this method is actually very good. For ordinary people like Li Congjia, it is not easy to come up with this method.But... they don't know who their opponent is.

"Father, I think what Taoist Wu Yazi said makes sense."

"What's the point?"

"I don't know." Li Hongji trusted Wu Yazi very much. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew that what Wu Yazi said was the truth, and Wu Yazi hadn't said a single wrong word so far.
