The Western Xia dispatched troops and generals in the Ningxia Plain, hoarding grain and grass in an attempt to break the country to resist the Han army. Liu Qi detected Xia Ren's movements, and he felt quite tricky. Li Yongqi believes that now the soldiers and horses of the north and south of the Han Dynasty are combined, and both the number of troops and the combat effectiveness are far superior to the Xia army, and the matter of Western Xia should not be difficult.

Liu Qi said: "Our army has the convenience of the day to attack the Western Xia, but the ancients have a cloud: 'The city of three miles, the Guo of seven miles, the one who attacks it and does not win', this time is not as good as the location!" Since ancient times, the word 'remote' has been the most terrifying! The key to the failure of the Sui and Tang expeditions to Goryeo lies in these two words. The Xia people have a good location, if we blindly defend it, even if our troops are ten times better than him, we may also be killed! ”

In the middle of the discussion, a ministry came to report that he had caught a spy with suspicious appearance and dressed as a businessman, and after torture, the spy said that he had important military information and would not reveal it until he saw Liu Qi. Liu Qi was already a general at this time, and his status was close to Cao Guangbi and Xiao Tienu, where did ordinary spies need him to meet? It was only because the matter of Western Xia was in trouble that he muttered: "I don't know if this spy really has an important military situation." ”

Li Yongqi said: "Why don't I go and meet him!" ”

Liu Qi thought about it and nodded in agreement. Li Yongqi came to see the "spy", and when he saw him dressed as a businessman, Li Yongqi did not say his real name, so he said that he was Liu Qi. The "spy" looked at him twice, but said, "You are not General Liu!" I've met General Liu! ”

Li Yongqi was stunned: "Have you seen General Liu?" ”

"Not bad." The man said: "When I served my master before, I saw General Liu twice, and I will never admit my mistake!" Who are you who dare to come and deceive me? ”

Li Yongqi asked, "Who is your master?" ”

The man said, "I can't tell you this!" If there is anything to say, I have to meet General Liu before I can say it. Seeing that Li Yongqi still refused to believe it, he said: "Although I can't tell who the master is, I can tell you that we are a family." If General Liu sees me, he will know. ”

Li Yongqi discerned his face and felt that he didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he returned to the camp to explain to Liu Qi, and told him his opinion of that person, and felt that most of the important news about this person was there. Liu Qi always believed in Li Yongqi's vision, so he brought up the person to see, and when he saw it, he felt a little familiar, recognized it for a long time, and said: "It turned out to be you!" ”

When the man saw Liu Qi, he saluted and said, "General Liu, the villain is doing things for his master, risking through the Han and Xia, and he doesn't want to escape the patrol of the Xia people, but he is caught by his own family. The villain is brave and wants to ask the general to make it easier for the villain to walk, so that the villain can go to Tanggu to recover his life. ”

Liu Qi asked: "It's no problem to send you to Tanggu." But you said before that you had an urgent military situation to see me, but you don't know what kind of emergency military situation it is? ”

The man said no, Liu Qi said angrily: "You dare to deceive me!" ”

The man smiled bitterly and said, "If the villain doesn't say this, where can he see General Liu?" If you can't see General Liu, how can you get out of trouble and return to Tanggu? After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Don't hide it from General Liu, the villain actually has important military information, but it's just ...... It's just that I don't dare to talk nonsense without the permission of the master. ”

Liu Qi snorted and said, "Since it is an urgent military situation, it should be said." You also said that it was your own family, and I opened the door for you to make it convenient, but you hid it from me, what is the reason! ”

The man smiled bitterly: "General Liu, the villain's trip this time is for a private matter, only because the villain's owner has a special identity and because of his shape, he will take on some public affairs...... That's it, the villain didn't dare to say anything about it, but General Liu is no one else, and the villain is punished heavily, so he told General Liu. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yongqi.

Liu Qi said: "I know everything about Li and the army, so there is no need to avoid it." ”

But the man said, "No." After listening to the villain's words, General Liu felt that he could tell the soldier and tell him again, but the villain could only say this to General Liu alone. ”

Liu Qi was helpless, shook his head, and motioned for Li Yongqi to go out first. Li Yongqi was curious about this person's origin, but he didn't want to ask in person, so he came out first.

Liu Qi and the man didn't know what to talk about inside, and it wasn't until half an hour later that the man came in and passed Liu Qi's order to let Li Yongqi and another general enter. After Li Yongqi entered the door, he saw that Liu Qi's eyes were very different from half an hour ago, and he knew that that person had really revealed an extraordinary military situation. Liu Qi instructed the general and asked him to arrange for the man to go to Tanggu secretly, and after the general took the man away, he leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh.

Li Yongqi asked, "General Liu, who is that person?" ”

Liu Qi said: "He's just an errand runner, it doesn't matter who his surname is." ”

Li Yongqi asked again: "Then his master ......?"

Liu Qi hesitated for a long time before he said: "You and I are like leaders and confidants, I'll just talk to you." This person is Lin Yi's subordinate. ”

Li Yongqi was surprised: "Lin Yi? ”

"Not bad." Liu Qi said: "He was running business for Lin Yi this time, but because of an accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was trapped and died in Western Xia, and he saw him before he died, because the two were colleagues who shared life and death in the past, so he asked him to bring news to the Prime Minister." ”

"Prime Minister?" Li Yongqi was even more surprised: "Then he went to Tanggu this time, is he going to see the prime minister?" ”

"Yes."

Li Yongqi said: "Thinking about this news must be extraordinary. Although he didn't ask, when he said this, he didn't ask.

But Liu Qi didn't answer his words, shook his head and said: "I can't believe this news yet, and I can't tell you at this moment." But there are some things that should be prepared. ”

Not to mention that Liu Qi was secretly preparing, but it was said that Lin Yi's subordinates went straight to Tanggu under Liu Qi's arrangement. When he arrived in Tanggu, the weather in the provisional administrative capital of the Han Dynasty was very different from half a year ago! Although Zhi Yanchong, who has been staying in the clouds, has not yet returned, since the good news of Mobei came, the whole city has been filled with cheers of victory, and even the citizens of Shengdou are full of pride between their words!

Lin Yi's subordinate entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and conveyed the code, so he was given priority by Yang Yingqi. Although he used to be a member of the intelligence department of the Han Ministry and often worked for Lin Yi, it was the first time he saw Yang Yingqi, and he peeked at the news when he reported it, and saw that the world-famous prime minister had begun to enter middle age at this moment, with slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyebrows.

Yang Yingqi didn't move after hearing this, so he asked him to go down to receive the reward, and said: "You are not doing things for the country now, knowing such a big thing, according to the rules, I have to detain you for three or five months, and you are not allowed to contact anyone, and I will release you after the matter is over." ”

Lin Yi's subordinate said: "The villain knows this rule, but the villain has another thing, I don't know if he did it right or wrong." Then I also told the story of meeting Liu Qi in Shaanxi, and after speaking, I asked for guilt again and again.

Yang Yingqi pondered for a moment and said, "After I got this news, I should have informed Liu Qi as well." Now he has the bottom in his heart, which is beneficial and harmless to the country. I'll just assume that you're not doing anything wrong. Let's go down. The man went down.

After he left, Lin Yu, who was waiting outside, came in with a box of things, and said casually: "The person who went out, is it Lin Xian?" He's still doing things for the public? ”

Yang Yingqi said: "No, he has been out of public office for a long time, and this time he was temporarily found on official business." ”

Lin Yu didn't ask when he heard that it was a business matter, took the box and said, "The queen has learned to make cakes, let me bring it to you to taste." ”

Yang Yingqi opened the box, tasted it, covered her mouth, shook her head and said: "Sister-in-law's work in making pastries is very sparse. Cover the box and say to Lin Yu: "You Lao Tzu is happy today, this box of cakes will reward you." ”

When Lin Yu heard this, his face was full of disdain: "Come on, you!" Obviously I can't eat it, and it's hard to throw it away, so stuff it for me! I've never seen a man like you in the world! The prime minister of the Han Dynasty! I don't want it! Eat it yourself! This is something made by your queen's sister-in-law herself! If you don't want to eat, you have to eat! After speaking, he didn't care about Yang Yingqi's reaction, turned around and left, and almost bumped into a young man in a wide robe when he went out, but it was the current prince and the eunuch of the Han Dynasty! Lin Yu saw that it was him, and called out "Brother Wu", only to catch a glimpse of the guards behind Zhi Yunwu, and hurriedly changed his words to ask for a salute, and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, are you here today for public or private reasons?" ”

During this time, good news was frequent, and Zhi Yunwu was also in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, I just want to find Uncle Seven to play chess." You don't have anything to come in. ”

Lin Yu sighed and said, "I see that most of the time you can't play chess when you go in." Zhi Yunwu asked why, Lin Yu said: "Someone came just now, and they were dusty." I didn't ask what it was, but it was mostly business. You'll know when you go in. ”

When he was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhi Yunwu, leaned closer and asked in a low voice: "There has been good news in the past few months, but Uncle Seven always looks unhappy, do you know why?" ”

Lin Yu sighed and said, "I don't know either. In the past few months, I have often made him happy, and sometimes I have made him laugh, but after laughing, his eyes flashed with that kind of worry, fear and even sadness. I also tried to ask him what was wrong, but he just wouldn't say. Brother Wu, if you don't ask him, you are the crown prince, and he may not be able to answer. With that, he retired first.

After Zhi Yunwu entered the door, he saw that Yang Yingqi was really waving at the desk, and when he saw him come in, he threw his pen and came over to salute. After seeing it, Uncle Yunwu's eyes swept over the table and asked, "Seventh Uncle, but is there any good news in the northwest?" ”

Yang Yingqi smiled slightly and said, "When did your eyes and ears become so powerful?" ”

Zhi Yunwu said: "I was originally going to talk to Uncle Seven, but when I entered the door, I bumped into Lin Yu, and he said that we probably couldn't get off the game today, so I asked this question." ”

Yang Yingqi snorted and said, "Although there is a little business, what does it matter if you talk about a game?" So he took him and sat down to catch him. The two of them were fast against fast, and after a while, more than forty sons had fallen, and Yang Yingqi said: "The prince has a smooth hand today. ”

Zhi Yunwu asked: "What about Uncle Seven's handstyle?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "It's also smooth." ”

Zhi Yunwu said: "I see that there are hidden worries in Uncle Seven's chess moves. Yang Yingqi heard this sentence but didn't respond, pretending to be concentrating on the chess path, and said again: "I don't know how my father's hand style is?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "I laid out a chess piece in the northwest before, and it happened to fall at the feet of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother picked it up casually and put it in a better place." Judging from the news received, the eldest brother's hand style is also very smooth. After a pause, he said, "Let's play chess, and I'll talk to you about this later." ”

Zhi Yunwu dropped another son and said: "Seventh uncle, I haven't seen my father for a long time, he just summoned his second brother to get together the day before yesterday, and I also want to take a trip in the clouds, what do you think." ”

Yang Yingqi pressed his hand, ate a small piece of Zhe Yunwu, and said, "It's not appropriate." Although the eldest brother has arrived in the clouds, and everyone in the world knows that the Northern Expedition has been completely victorious, but if he does not return to Tanggu for a day, you are still in prison, and it is not appropriate to leave the center without permission - in fact, the eldest brother only summoned Yunwen and did not summon you, which means very clearly. Besides, although we are in a good hand at the moment, the more we have to tremble and walk on thin ice when we are about to win a major military event. There are many things that have fallen short in ancient and modern times, and the chess game has not ended in one day, so it is still necessary to be more cautious in case there are changes. ”

Zhi Yunwu sighed, although he didn't say anything more, but when he fell, it was no longer as loud and powerful as before.
