Chapter 30: Coming Back Suddenly
"The emperor said...... Bringing troops to conscription? Zhou Yongnan asked in disbelief, seeing Li Jingyao nodding solemnly, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "The emperor thinks twice, it's a big matter, just in case...... This ......"
Zhou Yongnan said a few words incoherently, his eyes suddenly glanced at Lichu, and said stupidly: "There are fierce generals in this court, and there is no need for the emperor to lead troops to recruit in person." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle!"
A neutral voice suddenly came from behind him, Zhou Yongnan's face changed suddenly, and he only heard Li Jingyao ask interestingly: "Zijian, are you willing to lead the troops to the battle?" ”
Zhou Zijian bowed and saluted, and said categorically: "Zijian is willing to fight to the death against dog thieves for the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty!" Swear to defend the great rivers and mountains of the Southern Tang Dynasty! ”
"Okay, I'm very pleased!"
Seeing Li Jingyao's eyes shining, Zhou Yongnan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Zijian is young and has no experience in going on expeditions, so he rashly leads troops to fight, but I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. The battle of the Song and Tang Dynasties is so important, if Zijian is allowed to go, I am afraid that it will give the Southern Tang ......"
"Uncle!" Zhou Zijian was very dissatisfied with the prime minister's description of him as so incompetent, and he hurriedly shouted out the word uncle, and said with a firm gaze, "Zijian has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he has studied under the Nine Xuan Dao, why can't he lead troops to the battle?" ”
"Nine Xuan Dao Chief? But Xue Dingshan's master? Li Jingyao's eyes were even more joyful, and Zhou Zijian nodded and admitted, "That's right, it is Xue Dingshan's master, the head of the Nine Xuan Dao, Zijian is sure that he can defeat the Song army in one blow!" ”
Zhou Yongnan was so angry at this time that he almost couldn't go through it in one breath, don't look at the many people in the hall who sneered at the Song Kingdom, and even those who boasted about Haikou, but with his decades of experience, he could see that whether it was troops or grain and grass, in the future, it would be momentum and talent, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was far inferior to the Song Kingdom.
This battle can be said to be a must-lose, he originally wanted to instigate Li Chu to go, but he didn't expect to kill a nephew halfway, which really gave him a headache.
"Chaozong, what do you think?" Li Jingyao already had the answer in his heart, so he set his eyes on Li Chu.
Whenever Li Jingyao had an answer, he liked to ask Li Chu what he meant, but every time he listened to his opinion, he just listened to it, Li Chu sneered in his heart, and replied to Li Jingyao's answer: "The minister thinks that what the prime minister said is good, General Zhou is indeed young and does not have enough combat experience. ”
Zhou Yongnan turned his head abruptly to look at Li Chu, his heart was overjoyed, looking forward to Li Chu volunteering to go to battle, but he didn't expect that Li Chu actually said: "But this is not a big problem, looking at the first time I led the troops to fight, and fought with blood, but it inspired the passion of many soldiers, and since then, it has been even more overwhelming, and no one can stop it." As long as the minister mentions some things that General Zhou needs to pay attention to, the minister is expected to be able to defeat the Song army. ”
Li Jingyao nodded with great satisfaction and said, "With your help, my heart will be more stable." ”
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhou Yongnan couldn't help gritting his teeth fiercely, thinking in his heart how to find a way to turn over Zhou Zijian's plan to go on the expedition, but Sheng Zhe announced his retreat from the dynasty with a loud voice.
"Zijian, you were too impulsive just now!" Zhou Yongnan saw Zhou Zijian standing in place waiting for him, stepped forward and walked away quickly after dropping a word.
Zhou Zijian looked at Zhou Yongnan who was far away in puzzlement, and he was extremely puzzled, he was still young, and now he didn't lead troops to fight, could he wait until he was middle-aged and had no one available, and then send himself to fight?
"Zijian, I have a set of rare formations, if you are interested, come to my house to have a look." Li Chu patted him on the shoulder and reassured, "The prime minister is old, so I can't help but worry about you young but high-minded children, don't pay attention, your triumphant return in the future is the best proof." ”
"Then Zijian, thank you General Sima for mentioning it!" Zhou Zijian already had a very good impression of Lichu in his heart, and when he saw him encouraging himself, he felt more and more that he had done nothing wrong.
Li Chu walked out of the palace with a smile with him, and happened to bump into Li Xun who was talking to Zhou Yongnan, and saw that Li Xun was always looking at him, so he stretched out his hand to straighten his clothes and motioned for him to meet him in Yijing Pavilion.
Li Xun caught his action, saluted Zhou Yongnan and said goodbye, and then arrived at Yijing Pavilion with Li Chu one after another.
"What's the matter?" This place is only a few miles away from the palace, Li Chu looked at the surrounding environment with some vigilance, if he was seen alone with Li Xun, he was afraid that it would not be good for Li Jingyao's ears.
"Three days have passed, why haven't you moved?" Li Xun looked very anxious, and without waiting for Li Chu to answer, he threw out another question, "Have the ears and eyes you said earlier come back?" He...... What did he say? ”
The person who replied said that Baisha was entangled endlessly, and after Zhuge Mingyu cut off ten fingers, his arm was removed, and according to Zhuge Mingyu's itinerary, there is a tendency to go north, and it is only a matter of time before he passes through the west.
Li Chu naturally couldn't tell him about this, so he only said: "It's not good, my person disappeared after they found out, and he hasn't been found yet." ”
"So! Isn't that bad? If I don't know where Mingyu is, then where do I find her? Li Xun's brows were tightly twisted.
Li Chu comforted him and said: "Don't worry, there are not ten or eight people I sent, presumably new news will come soon, you can do your business with peace of mind." ”
"Okay......" Li Xun said and took a breath, looked at Li Chu and said, "By the way, I heard what the prime minister meant, he wants to unite the officials to release your military power in the next few days, you should be careful yourself." ”
Li Chu's eyes tightened, this day still came, faster than planned, it seems that Zhou Yongnan can't bear it.
"Someone is coming, I'll go first." Li Xun said and jumped, jumped out of the long pavilion, and disappeared through the woods.
Jin Yuan walked into the long pavilion, looked at the shaking branches, and asked curiously: "Who has passed?" Run that fast. ”
"It's Li Xun...... Didn't you scare you away? Li Chu gave him a funny look and sat down on the stone bench.
"Zhuge Mingyu is here, I'm waiting for you in the house now, I finally persuaded her, otherwise she will come here to find you again!" Jin Yuan said softly.
Li Chu stood up abruptly and said in shock: "What? She...... She's actually back? Did she spot my eyeliner and bypass them? They're too careless! You came to me, so who is watching Mingyu? ”
"Zishan...... Nangong had to take care of Ding Mi, he didn't look at it, and Feng Jiu couldn't look at Zhuge Mingyu. Jin Yuan glanced at Li Chu as he spoke, Li Chu's heart was shocked, and he asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I just saw Zishan, presumably he couldn't bear Zhuge Mingyu's temperament, so he simply ran out, so now he ......"
