Zhao Yuan urgently raised his account, and ordered the civil and military officials who came in a hurry to express their opinions on the current situation, but everyone discussed it but it was difficult for Zhao Yuan to be satisfied. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cui Qi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, at present, there are Khitan people in the north of my Great Qi Kingdom, and there are three pillar countries in the south to provoke. Now that the emperor is personally conquering Pingnan, what he is most worried about is that the Khitans will take advantage of the weakness to enter, so this battle should be resolved quickly. ”

"The Yan State and the Lu State have trade contacts with our country, and they have submitted to our country before, so they are not among the crusades. Although the other three pillar states are not large in size and have limited troops, they have a tough attitude and stubbornly resist. ”

"Guze City is located in the territory of Yiguo, the terrain is dangerous, the climate is complicated, if the army of the three pillar countries cannot hold on, our side will also increase casualties. In addition, if there is an all-out war, the battle line will inevitably be lengthened, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will inevitably fall into a more passive situation. Therefore, we should concentrate our forces and break them one by one. ”

Zhao Yuan nodded after hearing this, and said to the hundred officials: "What Cui Aiqing said is exactly what I want. Now it is only three days away from Guze City, Weiguo, Yiguo and South Korea, which one to attack first, it doesn't hurt for you Aiqing to say it bluntly. ”

Yu Shi Hu Yuanyong said: "There are steep Tongshi Mountains in the territory of Weiguo, Yiguo is in danger of the Chihuo River, it is difficult to defend and attack, South Korea is flat, there are no dangerous peaks and rapids in the territory, it is advisable to attack South Korea first, and expand to the south with this place as a base." ”

Before Zhao Yuan could speak, he heard the roar of a war horse suddenly outside the tent, and a dusty horse walked in quickly. He panted and said: "Report to the emperor, Luo Gang, the assassin of Huaiyang Mansion, who is closest to Guze City, suddenly announced to the outside world last night that he had betrayed the Great Qi State and taken refuge in the Yiguo. He also ordered the defenders of the entire Huaiyang Mansion to hold their positions and fight to the death with the army of the Great Qi State. ”

Zhao Yuan listened, his eyebrows twisted and smashed into the bookcase: "How can this be reasonable!" ”

No wonder Zhao Yuan is so annoying, Huaiyang Mansion is an important town in the southern Xinjiang of Qi State, the army here is not only well-trained and experienced, but also familiar with the tactics of Qi State, if it really meets these people, the army led by Zhao Yuan may not be able to take advantage of anything.

No one expected this sudden situation, and the civil and military generals in the tent fell silent, and no one dared to say a word.

In the end, it was Rui Wang Fuyue who broke this oppressive atmosphere: "Back to my father, my son had seen this Luo Gang a year ago, and my son thought that this person was extremely lustful, but it happened that Yiguo had a beautiful woman, and I thought that Luo Gang must have fallen into Yiguo's beauty scheme, so he betrayed the Great Qi State." ”

It was because Erchen found out that this person had this weakness at that time, so he kept an eye on it and installed a few fine works in Huaiyang Mansion. Now that this has happened, I think that important information will come from these small works soon. ”

At this time, Gui Delang's general Sun Chushan also interjected and said: "In addition to the regular army, Huaiyang Mansion also has a warrior team composed of local barbarians, and the most advantageous battle method of this team is the snake tail sword formation. ”

"The 1,000 men who make up this formation are all chosen from the local barbarians of the deep mountains, and these people can spit fire, step barefoot on the red-hot knife without being hurt by it, as if they have a spell to protect themselves. The knives they use are strange, bendable, straight, and foldable. If this formation is opened, even the heavy cavalry will not be able to rush away. ”

After Zhao Yuan heard this, he was thoughtful and silent.

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Yuan ordered the three armies to march towards Huaiyang Mansion at full speed: "Advance at full speed tomorrow, and before sunset, you must reach Huaiyang Mansion." The battalions were ready for battle at any time with their arrows unsheathed during the march. ”

In the afternoon, the army of Qi was close to Huaiyang Mansion, and Zhao Yuan ordered to rest on the spot, and then summoned Fuyue into the commander's tent to discuss the battle situation.

At this moment, someone came to report, saying that someone from Huaiyang Mansion was coming and wanted to see King Rui.

Zhao Yuan's face froze, and he ordered this person to be sent into the account. After a while, a man dressed in silk and a square scarf walked in. As soon as King Zheng saw him, he smiled: "It turned out to be you." ”

After this person entered the tent, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The villain is a meticulous work sent into Huaiyang Mansion by King Rui, and there is something important to do today." Don't look at Huaiyang Mansion's claim to the outside world that it is stubborn and fighting to the death, in fact, Luo Gang has long panicked in his heart, he has a handle in the hands of Yi Guohou, and he has no choice but to turn against Qi State. ”

Now he has abandoned the city with his family and fled, handing over the command of the army to the deputy general Li Liang. Li Liang could have escaped, but this person was short-sighted and insatiable, and he usually relied on the power in his hands to buy and sell official positions in Huaiyang Mansion, which was well known. ”

"Now he still wants to make a fortune before escaping, so he let out the words, if anyone can take out 100,000 taels of silver, he will hand over the talisman of Huaiyang Mansion and ask the person who paid to be the assassin of Huaiyang Mansion."

Zhao Yuan thought to himself when he heard this, he had heard of selling houses, selling land, selling melons and fruits, but he had never heard of selling soldiers.

Fuyue was also thinking the same way, he said: "Is there fraud in this? ”

Na Xizuo said: "It's true, this Li Liang has already talked to a few rich people, because everyone doesn't report confidence in the strength of Huaiyang Mansion, so some people come to talk, but no one is willing to really pay for it." ”

Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said: "If this matter is serious, it can really be tried, 100,000 taels of silver is not enough for a day's food and grass for the army, if you really buy a talisman and successfully take over the army of Huaiyang Mansion, then the Pingnan army can greatly reduce casualties." ”

After hearing this, Fu Yue got up and saluted and said, "Father, my son is willing to go and meet this Li Liang for a while." ”

Zhao Yuan waved his hand when he heard this: "No, the future is dangerous if you go deep into the enemy's hinterland, if this matter is a trick made by Luo Gang and Li Liang to deceive us and be fooled, then your trip will be full of dangers." ”

Fu Yue smiled calmly: "The two armies are facing each other, and the comparison is courage and wisdom. The father often taught his sons and ministers that men should share the worries of the country, even if they died in the border fields and were shrouded in horse leather, they should not be afraid. ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "My son is a real husband!" So he asked Fuyue to disguise himself as a wealthy merchant of Yan State, took hundreds of personal soldiers, sneaked into Huaiyang Mansion late at night, and discussed the purchase of military talismans with Li Liang.

After Fuyue entered Huaiyang Mansion, he assumed the alias Lin Cong and made an appointment with Li at the Qianshan Restaurant in the city.

After Li Liang entered the Qianshan Restaurant, he walked into a secluded private room. When I entered the house, I saw a personable young man standing in front of the window, this person was wearing a sky-blue Nine Crane Tengyun Shu brocade robe, a belt with a hundred treasure beads around his waist, a jade crown on his head, a handsome face, and a smile in his eyes.

Li Liang looked at it, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, it was really the son of a rich family, it seems that the person who came this time is quite reliable, maybe the soldier talisman can really be sold.

So he couldn't wait to ask, "Can you bring all the silver?" ”

Fu Yue was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't expect him to be so anxious, so he had to say: "Silver two is not a problem, but how can I believe that you are not framing me?" ”
