"The next official is Jiang Jiong, the meritorious officer of Hanyang County."
After Jiang Ji introduced his identity, he was interrupted by Ma Chao before he could tell his plan.
"How dare a mere meritorious officer dare to discuss military matters?"
Ma Chao curled his lips disdainfully.
Jiang Ji's expression froze and he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, another general beside Ma Teng stood up and said quickly,
"Jiang Gongcao is a brother of the last general's clan. He doesn't know the rules very well. I hope the general and you guys won't take offense."
"This is Fuyi General Jiang Xu."
Ma Teng introduced.
Jiang Ji, Jiang Xu?
Why do these two names sound so familiar?
Yang Ling touched his chin, frowned and thought hard.
But his look in everyone's eyes suggested that he was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Jiong and Jiang Xu.
Ma Teng's face sank and he scolded,
"General Fuyi, Jiang Gongcao, why don't you quickly apologize to the general!"
Jiang Jiong originally had good intentions and planned to offer advice to Yang Ling, but he did not expect to cause Yang Ling's displeasure.
Even Jiang Xu, the elder brother of the clan, was scolded.
He cast an apologetic look at Jiang Xu, then bowed his hands to Yang Ling,
"I am lying to you, please forgive me, General!"
"I see!"
However, Yang Ling had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly remembered Jiang Jiong's identity, and couldn't help but scream.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Yang Ling with astonished eyes, wondering what he was thinking of.
"Are you Jiang Ji from Tianshui County?"
Yang Ling looked at Jiang Ji with bright eyes.
Jiang Ji was a little confused, but he nodded honestly and said,
"Yes, but as early as the Yongping period, Tianshui County was renamed Hanyang County."
I see.
Yang Ling suddenly realized.
If Jiang Jiong had just said that he was a creditor of Tianshui County, then Yang Ling would definitely be able to remember his identity immediately!
Jiang Ji, who is he?
Historically, in the 19th year of Jian'an, Ma Chao borrowed troops from Zhang Lu and contacted Han Sui, the Qiang people, and the Rong people to rebel.
Jiang Jiong fought alone to protect Jiang Xu, the prefect of the county, and others, but unfortunately died in the battle because he was outnumbered.
His experience is far from brilliant, but it is his son who really makes him famous.
The last general of the Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei!
Thinking of this, the smile on Yang Ling's face became much brighter.
"The prime minister must be from the state headquarters, and the fierce generals must be from the army!"
"How do you know whether today's unknown people will become world-famous in the future?"
"If one day they really become famous all over the world, will you regret what you have done?"
He smiled and said to Ma Teng and Ma Chao.
"What the general said makes sense!"
Ma Teng nodded quickly, but he was quite puzzled in his heart.
Why does Yang Ling value a small meritorious officer so highly?
"You said just now that you have a plan to deal with the rebels. Why don't you tell me about it? If it makes sense, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Yang Ling looked at Jiang Ji with a smile on his face.
Jiang Ji was a little flattered. He took a deep breath and said cautiously,
"Although the rebels are powerful, they are powerful on the outside but capable on the inside."
"Oh, what kind of way is it to be strong on the outside but on the inside?"
Yang Ling said with great interest.
"Although they have 200,000 troops, they are scattered in various counties."
"In addition, these rebels belong to various princes and barbarians, and their command is extremely chaotic."
Jiang Ji talks eloquently and authentically,
"The number of people who can really threaten us is only a hundred thousand at most!"
Yang Ling nodded slightly and motioned for him to continue.
With Yang Ling's encouragement, Jiang Ji became more confident and continued,
"The rebels are powerful and have won several games in a row, which will definitely breed pride and underestimate the enemy."
"Therefore, I suggested that the general set up an ambush in advance to catch the rebels by surprise before they attack Long County!"
His remarks can be described as well-founded and convincing.
"I didn't expect that such a talented person would be just a minor meritorious officer. It seems that the governor's subordinates are also full of talented people."
Gao Rou couldn't help but smile.
But his joke sounded a bit harsh to Ma Teng.
It seems to be a satire that he has no ability to understand people, so that he has buried a talent like Jiang Ji.
"What Jiang Gongcao said makes perfect sense."
Yang Ling thought for a while and said to Jiang Ji and Jiang Xu,
"You two can go together to ambush the rebels this time."
As the father of Jiang Wei, there is no need to say more about Jiang Jiong.
As his clan brother, Jiang Xu, although not well-known, is also a loyal man.
In history, when Ma Chao rebelled in Liangzhou, he, Yang Fu, Jiang Jiong and others fought to the death to resist Ma Chao. They even defeated Ma Chao and killed his wife and more than ten of his relatives.
Ma Chao was so angry that after capturing Licheng, he massacred the city and even killed Jiang Xu's mother.
Yang Ling also intended to promote the two of them, so he let them go together.
All the Liangzhou officials looked at Jiang Ji and Jiang Xu with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Just as everyone was taking orders and preparing to go down to prepare, Yang Ling suddenly said casually,
"Jiang Gongcao, I heard that you have a son named Jiang Wei?"
He just asked casually, wanting to confirm Jiang Wei's situation.
But he didn't expect that after Jiang Ji heard this, he hesitated for a moment, bowed his hands and said,
"I have something to hide from the general, and I hope the general will forgive me!"
Yang Ling was confused by him.
"What do you have to hide?"
"Actually, Xiaguan's strategy was not proposed by Xiaguan..."
"Oh? Who is that?"
Yang Ling was even more confused.
"It's Jiang Wei, the son of the lower official."
Jiang Ji said honestly.
"Your son has such a talent, why don't you explain it directly? So that he can serve the court."
Ma Teng frowned and said with some displeasure.
"This...this..."
Jiang Ji hesitated, looking troubled.
Jiang Xu on the side couldn't stand it, so he had to explain to him,
"General, you superiors don't know something. His son is only...seven years old!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.
"How can a seven-year-old child have such insight? Are you kidding us?!"
Gan Ning's face darkened and he scolded in a cold voice.
Others also looked unconvinced.
Although the ancients were said to have matured precociously, they were not so precocious as this.
A seven-year-old child can clearly see the situation and come up with strategies?
Are you making trouble?
"I really don't dare to hide anything. It's true."
Jiang Ji smiled bitterly.
He just considered that this matter was too shocking, so he said it was his own strategy.
But Yang Ling's casual question about Jiang Wei just now caused him to misunderstand, thinking that Yang Ling knew something.
Although Jiang Ji's attitude was sincere, everyone did not believe it.
After all, this kind of thing is really too bizarre.
But Yang Ling was different from them and knew Jiang Wei's future achievements.
"In ancient times, Gan Luo worshiped the prime minister at the age of twelve. It is not surprising that Jiang Wei could have such knowledge at the age of seven."
Yang Ling smiled and said to Jiang Ji,
"You might as well bring your son here so that everyone can take a good look at it."
