Chapter 30: Willing to Play for You
Fortunately, Wang Ling should have no prejudice against the people from Cao Shuang's mansion, so Wang Ling is still willing to listen to Qin Liang's opinion.
I heard that Sima Yi and Wang Ling had a good personal relationship. Sima Yi and the Bingzhou gentry in Hedong (Shanxi) seemed to get along well, but Wang Ling should not be Sima Yi's. As the nephew of Wang Yun, the early leader of the Hedong gentry, Wang Ling had a wide connection and it was difficult for anyone in the Wei court to look down on him. He still said whether he could afford Sima Yi in his heart.
General Zhenxi and governor Guo Huai of Yongzhou are Wang Ling's brother-in-law, and Guo Huai's son-in-law is Jia Chong of Yangliting; General Zhennan and governor Xuzhou are Wang Chang of Wang Ling's childhood friend. He has been with Wang Ling since he was a child, and it is well known in the court. There is also the boss of the imperial guards, Jiang Ji, the leader general, and Wang Ling has been with him for a long time.
Wang Ling can be said to be friends all over the world. Sima Yi and Cao Shuang, who are in charge of the court's power, can only win over with a smile. However, Qin Liang vaguely remembers that Wang Ling's fate seems to be very miserable? History once again proves that betting on both sides is not 100% safe, even a big man like Wang Ling with a strong foundation.
However, through the common sense information collected by Qin Liang secretly analyzed that although Wang Ling had a good relationship, he might be more inclined to Cao Shuang than Sima Yi.
Qin Liang has his own reasons.
For example, Wang Ling's nephew Linghu Yu just became the chief minister of Cao Shuang's mansion. Wang Ling also worked as a private servant when he was an official in Qingzhou. Wang Ji was completely Wang Ling's confidant. Last year, Sima Yi summoned Wang Ji, but Wang Ji did not go. Recently, he heard that he was going to Cao Shuang's mansion to be a central officer.
In addition, Cao Shuang took the initiative to win over many people, such as asking Wei Zhen to be the Minister of the Secretariat and proposing marriage to Wei Zhen's family for his younger brother, but they were firmly rejected; and when Cao Shuang tried to win over Wang Ling and wanted to be appointed as the General of the East, Wang Ling happily accepted the kindness...
So although Wang Ling did not pay much attention to Qin Liang's statement, he still listened to him patiently.
Qin Liang was also very tactful and tried to make the words very brief. For example, if there must be Huai and Jing, he did not elaborate on the common sense of "Sun Wu's motives to attack Wei" from the details.
However, Qin Liang repeated some of the remarks he had made to Sun Li before, in front of Wang Ling. The New Lord of the Great Wei Dynasty was young and had the opportunity to take advantage of.
After a while, Qin Liang looked back and boldly emphasized a more specific assumption, "I think that the time for Sun Wu's attack is likely to be this autumn. If our army can predict the opportunity in advance and prepare early, so as to have prepared for the attack but not, this battle will definitely be able to form an advantage of unilateral crushing against the Sun Wu army."
Wang Ling asked: "Do you have any definite evidence for joining the army?"
Qin Liang said: "Hefei New City. The new city has moved away from the shore of the water supply. Today, the new city is not dependent on water, but easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is obviously a preset battlefield for our army. Please get into the trap. The new city is small and strong, and the Wu army's strong attack consumes troops, but there is no great benefit. Therefore, the Wu army's best plan for Shouchun directly. If you get Shouchun, the situation in Huainan will change | Heaven, and the Wu army's strategic benefits are great."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Every autumn, there will be continuous heavy rains in Huainan and the river water will rise sharply. At that time, the canal connected to the water supply and the fertilizer can be opened to navigate. The Wu army can use this time window to transport troops and grain from the boat army to directly advance to Shouchun. Therefore, I guess there will be military affairs in autumn."
Qin Liang said a call, but Wang Ling still did not express his opinion. This cannot be blamed on Wang Ling. It is all speculation, so how can it be completely reliable?
Even Qin Liang himself was just a gamble. Anyway, it would not be a serious price to bet wrong. At worst, those famous scholars would comment that Qin Zhongming was not good at planning. If he was not good at planning, he would not be good at planning and would not lose a piece of meat. People involved in war would not not bet. What if he was right?
Wang Ling leaned his head and knelt beside Wang Guang whispered: "It's no harm to prepare before autumn."
At this time, Wang Ling thought for a while and finally spoke: "Qin joined the army and said it was reasonable. At that time, I summoned the Tunwei. If there was something to do, prepare for war, and if there was nothing to do, train."
Qin Liang praised: "Ming Gong is wise!"
With the result, everyone stopped talking about the topic of Wu army's attack. After all, even if Qin Liang was right, it would be half a year later. Wang Ling began to talk about some topics about Luoyang with Sun Li, and then talked about interesting stories.
People had a great time talking. As the governor of Yangzhou, Sun Li had to rest in Shouchun, but he seemed to have no dissatisfaction and still talked and laughed with Wang Ling. So Qin Liang felt that Sun Li was sometimes very straightforward, but he was not a difficult person to get along with.
It was soon time for lunch, and we treated each other with wine and meat.
However, compared to the scene where dozens of dishes were filled in the table in later generations, the banquet was just like that. The only dishes were divided by one person, which was just roasted and stewed meat. There were many rivers in Yangzhou, as well as a dish with raw fish dipping sauce, and soup with vegetables and fish.
During the meal, Wang Ling said politely: "The troublesome place in Yangzhou has not been able to enjoy singing and dancing. Please forgive me for Deda and others. The drink is not lively and it is a bit boring."
Sun Li raised his glass and said, "Where is it, thanks to the governor's fine wine, fish and meat, it is very rich."
Qin Liang did not get involved in their business and he didn't talk much after the banquet. Except when he wanted to do something, just like he made a suggestion, Qin Liang was usually relatively low-key.
Unexpectedly, Wang Guang, a bearded man, said: "I heard that Zhongming is good at poetry and essays. This scene is the scenery above the pavilion, and there are many guests. Why don't Zhongming admire his face and write poems and sing a poem?"
Qin Liang paid attention to Wang Guang and felt that Wang Guang was just giving face and had no malice. Moreover, Wang Guang had helped and advised his father, as if he had a good impression of Qin Liang.
Qin Liang is willing to give face when others give face. But he was completely unprepared and suddenly asked to write poems and copy...what is wrong, which one is better? He does know how to write poems and limericks, but how easy is it to write a good poem?
I was about to drink? It seemed that it didn't match today's situation. Qin Liang had just drunk a lot of wine, and was a little dizzy for a moment, and he didn't expect to "made" which song to do.
When others saw him not speaking, they thought he was brewing literary talent, and several people looked at him. Especially Wang Guang, who looked expectant, really made people unable to bear to shirk his kindness.
A thought suddenly flashed through Qin Liang's mind, remembering the song "Chang Xiangsi" that he had revised when he was in Luoyang. Of course, Qin Liang didn't know about the song of the Tang Dynasty song of this Yuefu poem. But he slightly changed the tune of the ancient Yuefu song with the tune of Luoyang folk songs. He was originally going to play and perform with Chaoyun when he came. However, Chaoyun did not appear later, and the song was never useful.
Qin Liang reached into his arms and took out a piece of cloth that had been kept in the bag for a long time, with a simple piano score marked on it. He stood up and said, "I have a Yuefu song that can be played for all the officials. I need a piano, a sword, and a person plays the piano to reunite."
Wang Guang bowed and said, "I understand the music clearly. If Zhongming doesn't mind, I'm willing to play it for you."
After saying that, Wang Guang walked down, talked with Qin Liang for a while, and then ordered someone to pick up the piano and sword.
After some preparation, as time delayed, the guests who were looking sideways started to toast again and talked to each other. Qin Liang raised a sword, glanced at the scene in the attic, and looked at the gray sky outside the window. Then he looked at Wang Guang, who was kneeling beside him, and nodded slightly.
Wang Guang waved his hand gently and brushed the strings outward, immediately making a very pleasant string sound. With just one sound, Wang Guang was not only a little clear, but at least he was proficient. The importance of playing the piano was quite a test of basic skills.
Qin Liang was drunk, slowly waved his sword and sang: "Such a long time is on the Luoan. The autumn crying of the golden well."
When he sang this, his movements were smooth and his tone was not very fluctuating, but even in the taste of a modern Qin Liang, this song was very nice.
The next sentence "The frost is a bit sad and cold in color" begins to change slowly and quickly. When the song "The lonely lamp... is not... is clear... thoughts, desires, and death", the tone continues to be high from low to high, and when the word "ming", the dispatch gradually decreases. The last word is very low but powerful, as if the depth of the emotion.
Wang Guang's piano also cooperated very well. The rhythm of each piano playing was almost completely synchronized with the lyrics, which further strengthened the emotional strength of the last three words. The words seemed to penetrate the wall and stabbed into the sky.
In fact, the sound of the piano in this sentence is very difficult because the rhythm changes are relatively complicated. Qin Lang was planning to play the piano himself and sing lyrics in Chaoyun. At that time, he was a little afraid that he would make mistakes on the spot.
However, this bearded Wang Guang seemed to have a very tacit understanding with Qin Liang's idea, and he could fit the ball in one go. The image of such a black bearded rash man really surprised Qin Liang.
(As expected, the lyrics of the songs on the ancient Yuefu tone must be better pronounced at this time. The language pronunciations of this era are still very different. For example, the pronunciation of "Wei" is a bit like Ge (Wei is still pronounced as Wei), "Shen" is a bit like Che, and "Hui" is a bit like Yo. The most different thing is that some characters have more than one syllable, such as "No" is similar to "Puwo". Fortunately, there are Chinese characters that have not changed much, otherwise people born in the past two thousand may not understand what the Wei Dynasty is saying.)
Soon, even Wang Ling, who was in power, got involved in the role. He put his hand on his left forehead and lowered his head as if he was quietly sad.
All the guests at the seat looked sad, and some of them had already looked towards the northwest capital. Many of the families of the people here were hostages in Luoyang. The higher the status, the more they had to send hostages.
Some people even made sobs. Qin Liang and Wang Guang only played a few sentences, which shows how deep the emotional strength of Gu Yin was.
The people who were chatting and laughing just now seemed to have returned to the capital of the Great Wei. In their eyes, they looked blankly, they were all missing their wives, concubines and relatives. Why did the family separate and bring swords to Huainan? Wei and Wu were both Han, killing each other, and killing each other thousands of miles of bones, just for the power and interests that are reluctant to let go.
