Chapter 246: If you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm
The corner of Ye Duo's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand and smiled: "Mr. Jiang, you are joking! Many important people are protecting you! Who dares to touch you!"
After saying that, he walked to a wall with a map hanging on it with a smile. After opening the map, Jiang Chengfeng's eyes lit up.
This is a military map with rough lines, but all the strategic points are marked.
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Ye Duo in confusion. This old fox and old man Tang were both civil servants, but he didn't expect that they could even draw military maps!
As if seeing through Jiang Chengfeng's thoughts, Ye Duo said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Mr. Bo Hu is both civil and military, so drawing military maps is no problem for him! This map is the sketch he drew! During this period, he summoned more than a dozen generals to study strategies to defeat the enemy, and I am fortunate to be here to listen!"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded, these two people were indeed like that!
"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Bo Hu told me this morning before he left. He said four words: No need to hide anything! The Red Immortal Cult is becoming more and more rampant, and it has posed a great threat to our Northern Tang State. This cancer must be eradicated as soon as possible!"
"Even if I don't tell you, Master Jiang must know that the reason why the Red Immortal Cult is so rampant is that there must be someone supporting it behind the scenes! Moreover, the person who supports the Red Immortal Cult must be a big shot! Moreover, according to our spies, this big shot has a close connection with the Hu people!"
"What?" Jiang Chengfeng's eyes widened. This damn guy not only harmed the people in the country, but he actually colluded with foreign enemies. His crime was unforgivable!
Ye Duo's expression became more solemn. "Next spring, the Hu people will certainly send out troops again. In addition, the Red Immortal Cult is causing chaos in the country. The Northern Tang Kingdom is facing internal and external troubles! So, this person is extremely selfish. For his own benefit, he even bet on the entire Northern Tang nation! If such evil villains are not eliminated by humans, God will destroy them!"
Jiang Chengfeng sighed and remained silent. In fact, the evil thieves that Ye Duo mentioned were too many throughout the history of China, and he was no longer able to complain.
"To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation! Therefore, the Red Immortal Cult must be eliminated!" Ye Duo waved his hand and said solemnly: "This winter, to be exact, in the next few days, the soldiers from Ludong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang will take joint action. Lord Tang will be the commander-in-chief, and we must eliminate this scourge of the Red Immortal Cult!"
This kind of thing was originally top secret, but Ye Duo told Jiang Chengfeng everything. He really didn't treat him as an outsider!
Jiang Chengfeng grinned and said, "I have no doubt about Lord Tang and your determination to eliminate the Red Immortal Sect! But I have a question. Why don't you directly mobilize the troops from Jianghuai, but go to mobilize the troops from Ludong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"
Ye Duo smiled bitterly, "Mr. Jiang, you are making fun of me again! Don't you know better than me why you don't mobilize the troops from Jianghuai? Long Fengyang has been managing the troops from Jianghuai for many years and is deeply rooted. Although I have the power to command him, I am powerless!"
Jiang Chengfeng laughed triumphantly, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Actually, it's not that difficult to get rid of Long Fengyang. Now is a good opportunity!"
Ye Duo's eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "Mr. Jiang, why don't you speak frankly!"
Jiang Chengfeng did not answer him , but asked: "I would like to ask Sir Ye first, do you have any evidence of Long Fengyang's crime?"
Ye Duo sighed: "In fact, I already had enough evidence, and I was just waiting for the right opportunity to report him!"
Jiang Chengfeng laughed sinisterly, "As the saying goes, if a man is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm! There is no point in criticizing him! The right thing to do is to chop him down!"
"Kill him?" Ye Duo didn't quite understand. "Could it be that Master Jiang is planning to let me bribe some assassins?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"What Lord Ye said is a solution!" Jiang Chengfeng pulled a chair and sat down, and continued: "Lord Ye, you said just now that you wanted to bring down Long Fengyang, but why can't you succeed? Even if Long Fengyang has a big shot behind him, you have the emperor behind you. Is there anyone bigger than the emperor?"
"The emperor has sent many guards to protect your safety, which shows that the emperor values you very much, but you can't bring him down. Why does the emperor turn a blind eye to it?"
Ye Duo's sparse eyebrows frowned, and a gleam of brilliance flashed across his eyes.
"Mr. Jiang is indeed very insightful. In fact, Lord Tang has also talked to me about this before! However, he was vague about it. However, Lord Tang mentioned your name later , which means that Lord Tang believes that Mr. Jiang can help me solve the doubts in my heart!"
Hearing Ye Duo say this, Jiang Chengfeng couldn't help but secretly despise Old Man Tang. Old Man Tang couldn't say it himself, so he kicked the ball to himself!
"Has Lord Ye figured out the reason?"
"Of course I have thought about it! But I really can't understand it. It is said that Long Fengyang is corrupt and has been working for nothing. The evidence in my hand is enough to chop off Long Fengyang's head ten times! But the emperor has remained silent. In fact, not only I, but other colleagues are also confused!"
"If you say that a few years ago, when the emperor first ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable, he couldn't touch Long Fengyang, this is understandable. However, today, the emperor has long had the ability to eliminate Long Fengyang, including the people behind Long Fengyang, but he still hasn't made any move. Now, Long Fengyang is even more daring, colluding with the Red Immortal Sect to harm our Northern Tang Kingdom. His crime deserves death! But he still hasn't made any move. This is unacceptable!"
Jiang Chengfeng stood up and paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he paused and said with a smile: "I was thinking, maybe the emperor is not anxious, he may be more anxious than you!"
Ye Duo was even more puzzled. If he was more anxious than me, why didn't he take action? He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "I think the emperor thinks that relying on the memorial to bring down Long Fengyang is really ineffective! So, the emperor simply kept dragging his feet and not dealing with it! It seems that the emperor wants me to kill him with one blow and eradicate the roots!"
"So! The emperor didn't get rid of Long Fengyang, but he rewarded you. The deep meaning is to let you continue to do what you do, Lord Ye!" Jiang Chengfeng laughed and said, "I guess what the emperor appreciates is your ruthless means. If you can kill Long Fengyang in one go, the emperor will be very grateful to you!"
"So, the emperor wants me to--" Ye Duo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, slapped his forehead, and said, "Alas, I have figured it out now! No wonder Lord Tang has been unwilling to speak out!"
As he spoke, Ye Duo bowed deeply to Jiang Chengfeng, this bow represented his gratitude to Jiang Chengfeng for the enlightenment he had gained.
"Mr. Jiang, please teach me a way to bring down Long Fengyang! " Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Duo shamelessly asked Jiang Chengfeng to help him to the end.
"Then may I ask what did Lord Tang bring with him when he came to Huayang this time?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
