In the uproar, Chai Rong waved his hand, Chai Rong is a tolerant person, although he doesn't like to hear Li Yan's words.

After everyone quieted down, Li Yan gracefully saluted the civil and military ministers around him, and then he turned to Chai Rong and said solemnly: "Your Majesty thinks, why did Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty recall Li Jingjin at this time?"

The current Northern Zhou side is really blind to the big and small things that happened in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they really don't know why the Southern Tang side changed generals before the situation was so favorable to them.

After thinking for a while, Chai Rong leaned slightly, looked at Li Yan with blazing eyes, and said, "Li Qing is blunt. ”

Li Yan said: "The minister thinks that the reason why the Southern Tang Dynasty recalled Li Jingjin, who has won many battles, is that he is worried that Li is talking about winning again and will sit firmly on the throne of the prince, and the prince that Li Jing really wants to establish is his sister-in-law Li Yu." Second, Li Jingjin defeated His Majesty twice, and the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty was superior, and the Northern Zhou army was far inferior. Yan thought that the Southern Tang Dynasty was afraid that His Majesty was not enough to fear, so they would change generals before the battle. ”

Li Yan's eyes were clear, he looked at Chai Rong, and said after a while: "So Yan thinks that when the Guo father and son first came, His Majesty needed to let them win one or two times, so as to be proud of the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

As soon as Li Yan's voice fell, the ministers became noisy again. Zhao Kuangyi was the first to disagree, he said coldly: "Listening to Li Lang's meaning, could it be that we are really afraid of that Li Jingjin, and we are afraid that the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty will send him over again?"

Li Yan has a high temperament, he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Kuangyi, just looked directly at Chai Rong, and said in a loud voice: "Li Yan thinks that the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty lies in the naval army. And now, the commanders of these naval armies are Guo and his son. If His Majesty can make the Guo father and son arrogant, and then at the most critical time, he will give the Southern Tang Navy a head-on blow. At that time, even if there is a natural general like Li Jingjin in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the general trend is gone, and there will be no military strength to compete with His Majesty. ”

The meaning of Li Yan's words was to let Chai Rong put aside the temporary victory and defeat and reputation, and the main purpose was to eliminate the living force of the Southern Tang Naval Army.

But this is easy to say, and it is really not easy to do. Over the years, Chai Rong has relied on his reputation for repeated victories to attract the heart of the world, and now he has formed the trend of the world's heroes.

The generals made a lot of noise, and one by one they began to discuss. Although Zhao Kuangyi was not resentful of Li Yan's contempt for him, he couldn't help but think at this time: As long as he can get the final victory, his temporary reputation is really nothing.

The generals talked and discussed, and in the final analysis, they still felt that Li Yan's method was feasible, but their majesty had always loved face. In the muttering, one by one the generals turned their heads to look at Chai Rong.

Chai Rong has been pondering.

Slowly, he let go of the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, looked up at Li Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Okay!

This is easy for others to say, but it is really not easy for Chai Rong, who has always only liked to move forward bravely. Li Yan sighed with emotion, he couldn't help but bow to Chai Rong, and said in a clear voice: "Your Majesty can bend and stretch, and he is really a great man." ”

Li Yan's words are obviously flattering, but his demeanor is too good and his bearing is too good, and when he does this, it is pleasing to the eye, which makes people just happy.

Chai Rong laughed, and he looked left and right: "You see that Li Lang is born like an immortal, and he can speak flattering words, and he is also calmly like he is reciting poetry." Hahaha. In a blink of an eye, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, it's noon, let's go to dinner." ”

"Yes. ”

According to historical records, at the beginning of October, Guo Yanwei took advantage of Chai Rong's unpreparedness to launch a death squad of more than 1,000 people to attack the Zhou army.

In this way, as soon as Guo's father and son took over the Southern Tang Army, they gave Chai Rong a dismount.

Once again, the easy victory of the Southern Tang Army over Chai Rong pleased the Southern Tang Dynasty, and for a while, when the Southern Tang people mentioned Chai Rong, they all called him a defeated general.

Guo Yanwei's victory over Chai Rong this time also officially allowed him to stand on his feet and master the Southern Tang Naval Army.

In the blink of an eye, the end of October arrived, and at this time, the Huai River had already snowed twice and officially frozen. After Chai Rong handed over the army to the generals, he returned to Daliang City with some soldiers and horses. This time, when he returned to Daliang, Zhao Kuangyi, Shao Jun, Jiang Mi and others accompanied him.

......

On the other side, Fan Yuxiu also hit the road.

After listening to Shao Jun's letter, Mrs. Shao sent two hundred people to pick her up and return to Daliang, which made Fan Yuxiu, who thought that she would die in the countryside, both happy and worried.

Fan Yuxiu has a straightforward personality and no city government, and because her appearance and figure are too ordinary, deep down, she even has a little inferiority. Especially when she thinks of the beautiful concubine who grew up with Shao Jun's childhood sweetheart in Daliang City, she is even more timid.

Looking at the dust raised on the official road, Fan Yuxiu squeezed out a smile and thought: Why do you want to do so much? Everything will wait until the girder.

Seeing her poking her head out of the carriage, a round-faced young man approached her, and he smiled and asked, "Madame, are you tired?"

This young man appeared not long ago, he followed the two hundred guards sent by Shao Jun, although this kid insisted that he was also a guard sent by Shao Jun, but the two hundred guards didn't know him, so Fan Yuxiu felt that this young man with a Youzhou accent seemed to have another purpose.

Even if the young man has other purposes, Fan Yuxiu, who has always been accustomed to acting on instinct, not only did he not guard against his kindness to him, but he also trusted him.

Fan Yuxiu, who has a lively personality and no arrogance, glanced at the young man when she heard this, and replied: "I'm tired and can't rest, why are you asking these useless words?"

The young man Ah Jing squinted his round eyes with a smile, and he said crisply: "If Madame is tired, A-Jing will accompany Madame to talk." In a blink of an eye, he said, "Madame, are you worried that life will not be easy after arriving at Daliang? ”

Ah Jing's words really touched Fan Yuxiu's heart. Thinking of the mother-in-law who hated herself, the concubine who was very cherished by her mother-in-law and husband, Fan Yuxiu sighed bitterly and said, "How can you not be worried?"

Ah Jing grinned and said happily: "That's because there will be someone to help Madam when you get to Daliang City." ”

"Someone to help me?" Fan Yuxiu didn't believe it, she widened her eyes and asked repeatedly, "Who?

Ah Jing said with a smile: "Madame doesn't know, Marquis Li Mo, who came from the Southern Tang Dynasty just now, is very valued by His Majesty, and his wife is Madame's friend Zheng Wen when you were in Shu Kingdom. ”

"Zheng Wen?" Fan Yuxiu screamed with joy, and she asked anxiously, "Is it really Zheng Wen?"

Ah Jing became serious, and he said seriously with a round face: "Don't dare to deceive Madame!"

Fan Yuxiu was really overjoyed at this time, she casually pulled the curtain of the carriage, and said happily while unconsciously pulling: "Zheng Wen has also arrived at Daliang? Great, great, I have someone to talk to now." In a blink of an eye, she said to herself, "Mother won't let me go out then, will she?" She was happy and sad for a while, and her round face, which had lost a lot of weight, was very rich.

In a carriage not far away, several Shaw servants frowned at the same time when they saw Fan Yuxiu's appearance, revealing a look of disdain. In the blink of an eye, a Shaw steward asked in a low voice, "How long is there?"

Among the guards, a middle-aged man in his thirties glanced back at Fan Yuxiu with disdain, and said to the steward: "Yellowbeard and the other bandits will be haunted in the vicinity within seven days at the latest. Rest assured, after this incident, the little lady will definitely reward you a lot. Another guard in his twenties said uneasily, "But what about the old lady and the head of the house?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "If there is no acquiescence from the old lady, the little lady is just a concubine, how can she dare to attack the master mother? As for the lord, he has always been filial to the old lady, and he has always believed in the words of the little lady. Rest assured, I have arranged everything in place, and it will not affect you. ”

The words of this middle-aged man successfully appeased everyone. Along the way, all the guards and maidservants regarded Fan Yuxiu as a dead man and ignored him. Originally, such an obvious bad attitude should make Fan Yuxiu vigilant, but she has lived such a day in Shao Mansion over the years, and she is used to everyone's rudeness to her. Did you notice anything wrong? Only the round-faced young man who was turning around her looked at everyone with an invisible sneer.

In this way, after walking on the official road for seven or eight days, in the afternoon of this day, Fan Yuxiu was swaying in the carriage after dinner, and suddenly, there was a sound of fighting and crying outside.

Fan Yuxiu woke up suddenly.

When she woke up, she found that a group of mountain bandits appeared at some point, and those mountain bandits blocked the official road!

Seeing Fan Yuxiu come out, a mountain bandit grinned with yellow teeth and laughed: "Yo, there is a little lady." Yes, yes, the owner of this village is missing a lady who presses the village. Sons, come on, take this little lady captive to the owner of the village!"

What Fan Yuxiu never expected was that as soon as the owner of the village shouted, not only those mountain bandits surrounded her, but also the two hundred guards sent by Shao Jun, and at this time, they also made a look at each other, and one by one, taking advantage of the divergence of the mountain bandits, they rushed out of the encirclement and fled for their lives, leaving her, the housewife, in the local area!

Fan Yuxiu was born in a family of military generals, seeing this, after she gasped, she quickly picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the wall of the carriage, quickly jumped off the carriage, cut the rope, and then turned over and jumped on the horse.

At this time, the only person guarding next to Fan Yuxiu was the round-faced boy Ah Jing. At the moment of the great enemy, Ah Jing seemed absent-minded, and he was frequently looking towards the official road in front of him, with an anxious expression.
