Chapter 7 Mysterio, non-war is the best strategy

Although Long Jiu was the leader of the bandits, in the face of righteousness, he resolutely chose to stand on the side of the imperial court and went to Han Tao's camp to attend the military meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Attending a formal court meeting for the first time, Long Jiu, who had been born and died for decades, behaved very cautiously. But even so, because of his bandit background, he was still ridiculed by the young general Dong Yuan. Long Jiu can bear it, but the baby daughter Long Yan was angry, and flew out a secret weapon to Dong Yuan, wanting to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, Han Xiaoyue ignored her previous suspicions, threw out the token, and rescued her, so that Dong Yuan would not suffer from flesh and skin. And when the public chased out of the tent, they found that Long Jiu and the three had already left.

Dong Yuan was holding the wooden token with a hidden weapon in his arms, and he was shocked.

"Han Xiaoyue actually saved my life regardless of his previous suspicions! This kindness, I'm afraid it's really difficult for me Dong Yuan to repay it! Dong Yuan thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel very self-blaming, regretting that he was too narrow-minded. With his head down, he strode over to the handsome case and placed the token on the table.

Qi Yuanzhen hurriedly stood up and bowed to Han Xiaoyue and said, "General Han, thank you for the rescue!" Otherwise, the loss of generals before the war will really be detrimental to our army! ”

Seeing this, Dong Yuan realized that he only put the token on the table, but did not say the grace of saving his life, which was really rude. So, Xiang Han Xiaoyue knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and arched his hands: "General Han!" General Han's life-saving grace, Dong Yuan is unforgettable! The previous things were all because of contemptible narrow-mindedness and jealousy. I also hope that General Han and General Han Haihan! "Just get down on your knees and grab the ground with your head.

Han Xiaoyue was originally in instinct to come to the rescue, but she never thought that Dong Yuan would regret it so much, let alone actually knelt down on her knees and kowtowed to thank her, so she hurriedly walked in front of Dong Yuan and helped him up: "General Dong!" The same dynasty is a general, and they should rescue each other. That's so polite! ”

"Alas!" Dong Yuan sighed, "General Han doesn't care about his past suspicions, which really makes Dong admire!" As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

Han Tao stood up and laughed: "Haha! All the generals are united, why worry that the enemy army will not retreat? ”

After hearing this, the generals knelt down on one knee and shouted: "I am willing to listen to Lord Qi and General Han!" ”

Qi Yuanzhen stood up and said happily: "Okay! Seeing that you are united, this official will have no worries! Today's matter, please go back and think again. If you have any ideas, you can always find this official or General Han. When the enemy retreats, the official personally celebrates for you! After speaking, he said goodbye to Han Tao and left.

The generals retreated one after another, and only Han Tao's father and son were left in the big tent.

Han Tao glanced at Han Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, among the people in Qingyunzhai and Fang Cai, are there people you know?" ”

Han Xiaoyue was shocked in her heart: "Could it be that I had a relationship with that Yan'er girl and was cut down by my father?" ”

Without waiting for him to answer, Han Tao said with a smile: "Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father." How can I, as a father, not know what my son thinks in his heart? After speaking, the conversation changed, and Han Tao's expression became serious, "It's just, Xiaoyue!" Did you know that since ancient times, good and evil have not been opposed? You and I are both generals of the imperial court, so we must not let the bandits get lost, understand? ”

Han Xiaoyue was reluctant in her heart, but she couldn't argue with her father. Because, in this matter, what my father said is indeed not wrong.

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "The child must follow the teachings!" ”

"Well, that's right!" Han Tao smiled with relief and said to himself, "However, when the child is older, he really has to worry about getting married." When this battle is over, my father will definitely find a good family for you! ”

Han Xiaoyue understood that her father was saying this to herself, and she wanted to forget about this girl named Yan'er. However, if you fall in love with each other, how can you easily forget about it?

Han Tao looked around and saw that there was no one, and then said to Han Xiaoyue mysteriously: "My son Xiaoyue, do you know why your father is late today?" ”

Han Xiaoyue shook her head.

Han Tao looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "That's because, early this morning, a mysterious visitor visited. As he spoke, Han Tao pointed out of the tent and saw a man in a pale pink costume walking in.

This person has a well-proportioned figure, graceful demeanor, and a noble look. The pale pink dress is gorgeous and elegant, and the accessories are extensive. Holding a folding fan in his hand and smiling, he feels very close.

Han Xiaoyue looked him up and down, obviously not familiar with him. And he smiled, as if he knew himself very well.

"Brother Xiaoyue, don't come to harm?" The man clenched his fists and said.

Han Xiaoyue stood up and hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Dare to ask what is next? ”

"Li Zhongyu is down there!" As he spoke, he pulled out a small wooden sword from his cuff. "Brother Xiaoyue, can you recognize this sword?"

When Han Xiaoyue saw this small wooden sword, she immediately recognized it. The person in front of him is the prince of Tang who played with him when he was a child, Li Yu's eldest son Li Zhongyu.

"Zhongyu, it's you!" Han Xiaoyue ran down in a few steps, hugged his arms tightly, and looked up and down, wanting to see how he had changed in more than ten years.

Li Zhongyu and Han Xiaoyue have been playing together every day since they were children, and this small wooden sword was made by the two of them. Since Li Zhongyu was made the crown prince, the two have fewer and fewer opportunities to play.

When Han Xiaoyue was ten years old, a rebellion broke out in the Tang Kingdom, and Li Yu personally witnessed the rebellion and recalled Li Zhongyu back to the palace, so that in case of an emergency, he could make the crown prince the emperor. In order to escape the war, Han Tao's family defected to Shu, and finally became the mainstay of Shu by relying on their martial arts.

Li Zhongyu looked Han Xiaoyue up and down, and his heart was also full of joy: "Xiaoyue, I haven't seen you for more than ten years." Unexpectedly, you still remember my childhood playmate! ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Yes! Of course I remember you. Do I remember your other siblings, how are they? ”

Li Zhongyu nodded and said, "They are all good." Especially my sister, she remembers you punching bullies for her! ”

Han Xiaoyue shook her head self-deprecatingly and said, "Hey! What kind of punching bullies, it's obviously a bad boy about the same age as us. I really want to reunite with all of you again, let's have a good meal! ”

Han Tao saw that the two of them had endless brotherhood, and he was very happy for the two, but he had to interrupt their conversation. Because, Li Zhongyu came here this time to have more important things.

Han Tao stood up with a smile, walked to the two of them, and said, "Xiaoyue, Li Zhongyu is now the crown prince of the Tang Kingdom. Now that your identities are different, you are all adults, and you must learn to distinguish between dignity and inferiority! ”

"Uncle Han, there are only three of us in this account, don't pay attention to those red tapes. If you think about it, I secretly learned some marksmanship and swordsmanship from you and Xiaoyue when I was a child, then I still have to respect you as my mentor. ”

Han Tao smiled and waved his hand: "Those are all idle and funny, how can the tutor say it!" ”

Li Zhongyu shook his head and said, "Uncle Han, you don't know anything. To this day, you still helped me build my martial arts foundation. As he spoke, Li Zhongyu was about to bow down, "The master is above, and the apprentice will bow down!" ”

Han Tao hurriedly helped him and said, "Okay, okay!" In that case, we don't care about all this red tape. Please take a seat! With that, Han Tao gave Li Zhongyu to his seat.

After sitting down, Han Xiaoyue hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhongyu, why did you suddenly visit Jiangyuan City?" ”

Li Zhongyu opened the folding fan and said, "Actually, I heard the rumors in the rivers and lakes. To tell you the truth, I don't have the heart to be a prince at all, little brother, prince. Ever since my father summoned me to the palace, I have always been nostalgic for the outside world. I always have to sneak out of the palace every once in a while, and I have made a lot of friends on the rivers and lakes. With that, Li Zhongyu took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Han Xiaoyue, "Brother Xiaoyue, look at what this is?" ”

"What is this?" Han Xiaoyue said and took it. I saw that this book was only a few dozen pages thin, and there were pictures and words in the book. The cover of the book has only four large characters "Kenka Benji", which is no different from other books.

""Jianhua Benji, what kind of book is this?" Han Xiaoyue looked left and right, not knowing what the purpose of this book was.

Li Zhongyu laughed and said, "Brother Xiaoyue, you don't know anything. This "Sword Hua Benji" was written by the sword master for a long time. As early as the pre-Tang Dynasty, Xu Jiurang combined his family's swordsmanship with Ge Shuhan's marksmanship and swordsmanship to write this book. For a long time, Jean was a master of swordsmanship, and Ge Shuhan's marksmanship was famous in the Tang Dynasty. After several compilations by later generations, the book was divided into twelve volumes. All you have in your hand is one of the volumes. ”

Han Tao nodded, but he didn't realize what was important about this book: "Hey! It's just a sword book! ”

"Not bad." Li Zhongyu continued, "Brother Xiaoyue, don't underestimate this book. Of all the books in my father's collection, this one is the most precious. Because the entire twelve volumes of the "Jianhua Benji" are not marked in order, and they have been scattered for many years, no one has been able to collect these twelve copies for nearly two hundred years. So to this day, no one understands the mysteries of the Simplified Notation at all. It was precisely to help Uncle Han and Brother Xiaoyue that I brought this book here on the orders of my father. ”

Han Xiaoyue was puzzled: "How can this book help us?" ”

Li Zhongyu stood up and said as he walked in the tent: "The Song army came to take Shu this time, not for any purpose to conquer the city, but actually for another volume of "Jianhua Benji" in the hands of the emperor of Shu. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Han Xiaoyue listened with wide eyes, he couldn't believe that the origin of a war could be just a book.

"I have friends all over the world, what is there that I Li Zhongyu doesn't know?" Li Zhongyu said proudly, "Zhao Kuangyin's ascension to the throne all relied on the help of Qingshuimen. When he was young, he worshiped under the door of the Spirit Source Master of the Qingshui Gate. And the reason why he became the emperor was because of the secret assistance of the Spirit Source Master. As a condition, Zhao Kuangyin promised him that he would help him collect the "Sword Hua Benji" scattered all over the world. So, just after becoming the emperor, he sent troops to attack Shu. ”

Han Tao nodded and said, "Xiaoyue, if what Li Gongzi said is true, we only need to ask His Majesty to present the Sword Hua Benji, and we can make Shu less warsome." ”

Han Xiaoyue handed back the "Sword Hua Benji" to Li Zhongyu's hand, with a suspicious expression: "Brother Zhongyu, if this book is so precious, how can Your Majesty rest assured that you brought this book here alone?" ”

Li Zhongyu laughed and said, "Haha! Unexpectedly, after many years of not seeing, you became wary of me. However, I can understand human nature. In fact, what my father meant was that if the Shu Kingdom was destroyed, how could my Tang Kingdom survive alone? Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Shu Kingdom, and the next step will be to come to my Tang Dynasty. ”

"So, what does Your Majesty mean is that if Shu hands over a volume, Your Majesty hands over a volume, and our two countries can escape this war?"

"Not bad! Not only that, but our two countries can join forces. In this way, it can be confronted with the Song army. ”

Han Xiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little moved in the face of this "Sword Hua Benji". Since she was a child, Han Xiaoyue has had a soft spot for marksmanship and swordsmanship. Today, seeing that Li Zhongyu admired this "Jianhua Benji" so much, he had the idea of wanting to explore it, but he was not willing to dedicate it to the emperor of the Song Kingdom.

Han Tao also saw some clues in his eyes. From childhood to adulthood, Han Xiaoyue's obsession with martial arts far exceeded that of herself. However, if you want to threaten the society for the sake of this book, you must stand on the side of the society.

Han Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "However, even if this sword score is given to the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, there will still be a threat of war in the future, and our two countries still have to join forces, in that case, won't we lose our wife and lose our troops?" Wouldn't it be better for the two countries to join forces now and jointly resist the Song Dynasty? ”

Li Zhongyu shook his head and said, "With the current strength of our two countries, even if we join forces, we are not the opponent of the Song army. If this sword book can buy us some time, it would be a good thing! ”

Han Xiaoyue nodded: "It seems that it has to be like this!" ”

Han Tao sighed and said, "I didn't expect that this battle was caused by this book, it's ridiculous!" As he spoke, he returned to his position and instructed left and right: "Come on, get a pen and paper!" ”

In less than half an hour, a letter was written. In the compromise, he expounded the benefits and disadvantages, hoping that Emperor Meng Chang could focus on the Jiangshan Sheji and dedicate the volume of "Jianhua Benji" to the Song State to avoid war.

He set off from Han Tao's military camp and went straight to the palace.

Han Tao waited with anticipation for the approval of the recital, hoping that he could avoid a vain battle with this book.

Li Zhongyu had been catching up with Han Xiaoyue in the camp until the early morning of the next day. Since he came to Jiangyuan City this time with the task assigned by his father, he did not stay too long and hurriedly returned to China to resume his life. Although Han Xiaoyue has been catching up with him, she still thinks about the twelve-volume "Sword Hua Benji" in her heart, and she can't let go of it for a long time.
