The army of more than 200,000 people retreated when they said they would retreat, and when they retreated, the Xianbei people were like a rolling river, retreating one by one, and gradually disappeared into the sunset. ◎ Top Novel,

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Lin Lin was not flustered at all when he saw that the Xianbei people were retreating, so he immediately ordered.

Lin Lin's reinforcements were only 4,000 people, but he used suspicious tactics to make the yellow sand roll, and it looked like there was a steady stream of troops galloping behind, so that all the Xianbei people avoided its edge.

After the Xianbei people withdrew, Tai Shi Ci and Lin Lin's soldiers and horses joined forces, Tai Shi Ci turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Lin Lin, and said loudly: "The criminal minister Tai Shi Ci, knock on the general king!" ”

Lin Lin jumped off the horse, personally helped Tai Shi Ci up, and said with concern: "If General Tai Shi is guilty, then the crime of this king is even greater." As the commander of the three armies, this king failed to do the same dispatch, which put General Taishi in danger, and this king's rescue was late, and he also hoped that General Taishi Haihan! ”

"Lord Wang......" Tai Shici was deeply moved by Lin Lin's words, his eyes were already soaked with tears, and he just held Lin Lin's hand tightly, not knowing what to say.

Lin Lin could feel Tai Shici's heart, and immediately said: "The great general has made great contributions, with 100,000 people, he successfully contained the 300,000 people of Xianbei people, so that this king and General Zhang of the expedition to the west have achieved excellent results, all of this comes from the general, if there is no great general to contain these 300,000 people, how can the Western Regions be so smoothly subdued?" Let's not talk about polite words, the general will tell me about the combat effectiveness of this Xianbei person......"

So, everyone rested in place, and Lin Lin's subordinates began to distribute some dry food and water to the soldiers to drink, although it was a drop in the bucket, but it could also solve the urgent need.

Lin Lin had a detailed discussion with Tai Shi Ci, and learned from Tai Shi Ci that the Xianbei people still had about 250,000 troops. Moreover, Da Dan learned that Kebineng's younger brother Ke Wuneng also learned that the Xianbei people had an iron cavalry. After asking all the details, Lin Lin grinned and said to Tai Shici: "General, your injuries are not light, and you have used too much force. In addition to the injury, I'm afraid that without a month or two of effort, this injury will not be healed. In this way, how about I send someone to send the general back to Yunzhong Mansion to heal his wounds? ”

"Nope! I can't go, I still have to go to war! Tai Shi Ci said stubbornly.

Lin Lin didn't give Tai Shici a chance at all, and immediately shouted outside the tent: "Come here, send the general back to Yunzhong Mansion to recuperate." ”

Tai Shici wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Lin. He said lightly: "General, don't say it again, this matter is settled, all the consequences will be borne by this king, and tomorrow morning, I will send the general to Yunzhong Mansion." ”

Seeing that Lin Lin's opinion was firm, Tai Shi Ci didn't say anything anymore, but just shook his head helplessly. said lightly: "Lord Wang, the dog Taishi Xiang is still in the army. The force is not bad, if the prince is useful, even if he goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, he just sends it. ”

Lin Lin nodded and said, "General Taishi, I'm bothering you." ”

The voice fell. Tai Shici was carried away.

Lin Lin beat the drum and raised the tent, passed on all the generals above the captain, and specially summoned Tai Shixiang, and immediately gave the order to set out tomorrow.

Early the next morning. The grain and grass escorted by Sima Yi arrived, and he immediately began to bury the pot to make rice, giving Lin Lin and more than 60,000 others a full meal.

After the full meal, the morale of the whole army was a little high, so Lin Lin asked the soldiers to rest in place for a while, and took advantage of this break to summon Sima Yi to his side.

Sima Yi was wearing an ink-colored robe, and his handsome face looked a little elegant, but he had also learned martial arts in the army for a long time, so he looked strong and a warrior.

"Knock on the Great General King!" Sima Yi came to Lin Lin's side and immediately bowed.

"No courtesy. Lord Sima, a long time ago, this king has admired your name for a long time, and my father has always valued you very much, so naturally there is a reason to value you. Maybe your father knows your skills very well, so he gave you such a high official position and named you Hou. However, you are a stranger to this king. ”

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Sima Zhongda can meet the famous general Wang, it is really a blessing for three lives, I ......"

"Enough!" Lin Lin raised his hand, interrupted Sima Yi's words, and said, "It's better not to say this kind of high-sounding words. I know you're incredibly smart, so I'm curious to know if you're really what you're rumored. There are about 250,000 Xianbei people, who stop in Thang Long City, about 80 miles away. Moreover, as far as this king knows, Thang Long City is the lair of Xianbei Da Shan Yu, do you have any way to exterminate this gang of thieves with 60,000 people? ”

Sima Yi thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that Weichen is going to disappoint the prince, and the minister has no effective way to deal with Shenglong City for the time being, and the only feasible way is to besiege the city!" ”

"Siege?" Lin Lin sneered and said, "How long can you surround it like this?" In the unlikely event that the Kushan Empire in the west sends troops, then we will be attacked on both sides, and the Western Regions, which has an unstable foundation, may also rebel against our country, and we will lose far more than we gain. ”

Sima Yi didn't say anything, just lowered his head and didn't say anything.

Lin Lin sat there and stopped talking, but he was thinking about something. After a long time, Lin Lin finally spoke and said, "Sima Zhongda, I know that you are very talented, if you are not talented, how can my brother Lin Qi worship you as a teacher?" I know that you and the imperial brother are very close, and the imperial brother is also jealous of me, and I have heard the rumors in the court, but no matter who my father chooses to be the crown prince, it is all for the good of our Chinese country. If Xianbei does not settle the war as soon as possible, the war will drag on for a long time, and the whole country may be stuck in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate itself. I Lin Lin is not talented, I rely on my bravery, but I don't have much strategy, I usually have a mentor by my side to give advice, but now the mentor is no longer by my side, and the people available in the army are only you, Sima Zhongda. It is an indisputable fact that I have the same father and sister as the emperor, but no matter who it is, it is the blood of my father that flows in my body. ”

Seeing that Lin Lin said so sincerely, Sima Yi couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and immediately said: "Lord Wang, Sima Zhongda really doesn't have any clever plan to break the enemy, the only feasible strategy. It's just a siege. However, the manpower required for the siege is huge, so we can only wait here for a day or two, and wait until the general of Zhengxi leads the army to arrive, and then our army will go to fight with the Xianbei people! ”

"Smack!"

A loud bang came out, and Lin Lin slapped the small cases in front of him with one palm, and the things on the small cases all fell to the ground with a bang. Some were smashed to pieces.

"Sima Zhongda, this king has already given you enough face, don't toast or eat and drink. The royal brother is only a candidate at best, I am already a king, although my father did not canonize the crown prince, but the position of the prince will be mine sooner or later. You are giving me advice now, if you can calm the Xianbei people, I will be the prince in the future. Naturally, your benefits are indispensable, you don't know the times! Lin Lin said angrily.

Sima Yi bowed to Lin Lin and said loudly: "The prince is angry, Sima Zhongda has no lies, if you want to fight and completely conquer the Xianbei people, the only way is to besiege the city!" The prince is angry, and it is inconvenient for his subordinates to disturb. Say goodbye! ”

"You ......" Lin Lin saw Sima Yi turn around and leave, obviously not giving him any face. Immediately, the anger was almost seven holes.

Lin Qi and Lin Lin are Lin Nan's eldest and second sons, and the two of them are one and one martial artist, and they were only a short time apart when they were born. In order to train his two sons, Lin Nan drove Lin Qi and Lin Lin out of the palace very early, and Lin Qi first spent a few years in Sima Yi's Wuwei Library, and then began to work as a small official in Xuzhou. Step by step, I went up, visited famous teachers, learned poetry, etiquette, the art of war, etc., and successively saw the township test, the meeting test, and the palace test, and the result was three yuan. He became the youngest champion in the history of Huaxia Kingdom, and he was also the only person who won three yuan in a row.

Because the imperial examination system of Huaxia has been improved every time, there were no township examinations and general examinations in the previous sessions, and the talented people all entered Beijing to take the examination. Lin Qi is rich in literature, successively served as the prefect of the county and the prefect, and is now the right-hand man of Xun You, the governor of Jingzhou, and has also made many suggestions to resolve the dispute with Wu through peaceful means. Therefore, Lin Nan asked Lin Qi to stay in the southeast of the town, mainly responsible for foreign affairs.

Lin Lin is different, Lin Lin has been born with divine power since he was a child, and his strength is infinite, plus he has learned all kinds of blades from famous teachers, and he is proficient in all kinds of blades, of course, the most powerful thing is the halberd method of Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd that he learned. Since leaving the palace at the age of five, he has never returned to Luoyang, has been in the northwest, officially joined the army at the age of ten, repeatedly won the credit in the war against Xiqiang and the Western Regions, and finally was promoted to the head of the northwest and was named the general king.

The growth of the two people is different, and the people who have been supported are also different, Lin Nan has never talked about the canonization of the prince, so among Lin Nan's sons, Lin Qi and Lin Lin are the two most qualified. Therefore, from the courtiers to the local officials, they all chose their own affairs, and most of the generals in the army supported Lin Lin, while most of those local officials supported Lin Qi, and gradually formed two different factions, one called the Qi Party and the other called the Lin Party.

Sima Yi is Lin Qi's master, so he naturally supports Lin Qi, so in Lin Lin's opinion, Sima Yi deliberately did not help him.

After seeing Sima Yi leave, Lin Lindang wrote a letter, sent someone to hand it over to his mentor Guo Jia, praying for a perfect solution, and urged Zhang Fei, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others to lead the army to come quickly.

The vast Gobi Desert stretches for several miles, and nearly 180,000 troops have just crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and now they are sleepy and tired, and they are all lying in the military tents to rest.

In the camp of the Chinese army, the lights were flickering and dimming, and Zhang Fei wore a woolen coat and sat around the bonfire to roast the fire. The temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi is very large, and it is too hot during the day to be unbearable, but it is very cold at night, and there is still a cold wind howling at night, and if you don't put on thick warm clothes, you will definitely freeze to death.

"Have you all read the prince's letterhead?" Zhang Fei is in his forties, and he has experienced vicissitudes of life, and he no longer has the violence of the past, in exchange for a mature charm. His eyes shot out of the Dao Essence, and after glancing at Guo Jia and Pang Tong, he landed on the fire again, staring intently at the flickering firelight in a daze.

Guo Jia first said: "The prince urged us to speed up the march, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”

"Our army walked all the way, did not avoid hardships and dangers, just crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and now is walking on the Great Gobi, the water on the Gobi is the most important thing, sometimes up to hundreds of miles will not meet a water source, the army walks unspeakably miserable. If the march is accelerated, I fear that this army will be dragged down before it reaches its destination. Zhang Fei analyzed carefully, "The prince's subordinates are all good horses selected from Dawan, who can travel 800 miles a day and are full of stamina. It is beyond our means, and it will take at least ten days to reach the destination foretold by the king. ”

"Ten days? Ten days later, I am afraid that the prince has already lost the time to compete with the Xianbei people, and the prince also made it very clear in his letter that Taishi Ci's department is short of grain and grass, and it can last for two days at most. General Zhang, you don't want the prince to be defeated, do you? Guo Jia said suddenly.

"Say whatever you want. I only guarantee the safe arrival of the army, and if I am greedy for merit, I am afraid that it will backfire. Zhang Fei knew that Guo Jia was Lin Lin's mentor, but he had always been such a temper, he did not shy away from the powerful, as long as it was right, he would stick to it to the end.

"You ......" Guo Jia was furious, and immediately pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted.

Pang Tong saw this. Hurriedly reconciled from it, and stood up at once. took Guo Jia's hand and said, "Lord Duke, you and General Zhang are not wrong, the prince urged us to march quickly, naturally there is a reason for the prince." It's just that the forced march is blind. I'm afraid that the whole army will be dragged down. The prince is the emperor's son, can General Zhang not be saved when he dies? Besides, if the prince is defeated, it will not do General Zhang any good, so why should General Zhang do such a thankless job. I have a compromise. Maybe give it a try......"

After Guo Jia and Zhang Fei heard this, they asked in unison, "What way?" ”

Pang Tong said: "You can first send a force to support the prince in the posture of a forced march, and the rest will be led by General Zhang to continue to lead the advance, after seeing the prince, he will explain the difficulties of our army, the prince is reasonable, naturally will not blame, in this way, we will not disobey the prince's orders, but also support the prince, kill two birds with one stone, why not?" ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good! What Shi Yuan said is exactly what I thought. General Zhang, then I will lead half of the cavalry first, and the general will lead the rest behind, how about it? ”

Zhang Fei said: "Yes, but you are not allowed to take any of my subordinates away, if you want to take them, you will take away the 80,000 cavalry of the prince, and the remaining 100,000 cavalry will be used freely." ”

Guo Jia said: "Okay, that's it, but I still need to borrow a general from you......"

"Who?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Rebel against General Guan Ping." Guo Jia knew that when Lin Lin left, he took away all the elite soldiers and strong generals in the army, and if he acted alone, he must have a general, so he spoke.

Zhang Fei frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I promise you, when will you leave?" ”

"Tomorrow morning."

After the meeting broke up, Zhang Fei paced around the military tent alone. Not long after, Guan Ping stepped into the big tent and saluted: "General, are you looking for me?" ”

"Ping'er, sit down." When Zhang Fei saw Guan Ping coming, he was immediately overjoyed and personally helped Guan Ping to sit down.

"General, what are you looking for me?" Guan Ping asked.

"Ping'er, there are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite to our uncle and nephew." Zhang Fei glanced at Guan Ping, and felt a little more sentimental in his heart, after all, he was the eldest son of his second brother Guan Yu, who had been with him for so many years, and now he suddenly wanted to let him go on his own, but he couldn't bear it.

Zhang Fei has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Zhang Bao died young, and the second son Zhang Shao is frail and sickly and is not suitable for martial arts, so he has a feeling that there is no successor. Guan Yu was unwilling to return to Huaxia with him, and he couldn't let go of Liu Bei in his heart, which was not to blame him. But Guan Yu didn't want to drag down his heirs, so he still let Guan Ping follow Zhang Fei's side, and Zhang Fei also doted on Guan Ping very much, regarded Guan Ping as his son, and loved him very much.

"Uncle, what are you looking for me for?" Guan Ping saw that Zhang Fei was nervous and the reluctance in his eyes was revealed, so he asked first.

Zhang Fei immediately told Guan Ping about the matter, and then asked, "Ping'er, are you willing to go on the expedition with Guo Junshi?" ”

"Since it is a military order, my nephew does not dare to disobey it, and my uncle just gives the order." Guan Ping didn't think about it, so he agreed.

"But do you know the danger of going here?" Zhang Fei said with a little worry.

"The eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal feats, even if he dies on the battlefield, he will die well. Uncle, you have always loved and cared for your nephew, and your nephew understands it. However, the nephew does not want to live under his uncle's swaddling clothes all the time, and one day, the nephew will still have to face life. Doesn't the uncle want his nephew to be able to become a great general in his own right one day? Guan Ping said lightly.

After Zhang Fei heard this, he knew that he couldn't keep Guan Ping, and just as Guan Ping said, he also hoped that Guan Ping could take advantage of this opportunity to show his talents, and in terms of force, Guan Ping was definitely first-class. It's just that I haven't had the opportunity to show it. This time to rescue the general king, once he was selected by the general king, he was included in the palace of the general king as the general of the guard, which can be regarded as a kind of creation of Guan Ping, and maybe he will go further and further in the future.

He is not a fool, the Qi Party and the Lin Party are very influential among the civil and military officials in the government and the opposition, although he himself does not join any party, but he hopes that Guan Ping can go further. Maybe it's out of a kind of doting on the younger generation by the elders, or a kind of hope for them. In his heart. Although Lin Lin is a bit domineering, it is undeniable that the reputation of the general king is famous in the border area, and it is powerful in all directions.

"Okay, since you've made a decision, and your uncle won't stop you, you can set off tomorrow with Guo Junshi. The road ahead is up to you. Zhang Fei said.

"Yes. Uncle! ”

………………

Jingzhou, Jiangxia Mansion.

"Lord Qiqi, without the permission of our country, the Wu navy openly sailed into our waters, patrolled along the river to stop it, but was hit and sunk by the Wu navy military ship. Of the twenty-one people on the cruiser, all but the captain survived. ”

In the hall of the government, Lin Qi sat in the position of the prefect and heard the words of the person kneeling below. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Got it, go down." ”

"But adults ......"

"Go down!" Lin Qi said angrily.

"Yes......" the scout reluctantly retreated.

"General Huya has arrived!" At this time, a shout came from outside the mansion, and the shout spread throughout the hall.

After Lin Qi heard this, he immediately walked to the outside of the palace hall, and just collided with Zhang Liao, the general of Huya, only to see Lin Qi hugging his fists and bowing: "Lin Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia, see General Huya!" ”

Zhang Liao had an extra mustache above his lips, he looked very mature, he was wearing a suit of armor, and when he saw Lin Qi paying homage to him, he immediately said: "The eldest prince doesn't have to be like this, the eldest prince really killed Wen Yuan like this." ”

Lin Qi said: "The laws of the Chinese country, the lower officials see the upper officials, this is normal etiquette, now I am the prefect, the official of the second grade, but the general is high and powerful, he is the mainstay of the country, and he can no longer be measured by the level of supplies. ”

Zhang Liao said: "This ...... The eldest prince, the Wu navy crashed and sank our country's patrol ship, presumably the eldest prince has heard about it, right? ”

"I just received the information, the general personally visited, it must be for this matter, I don't know what the general thinks?" Lin Qi said humbly.

Zhang Liao said: "Hey! Wu Guo is too arrogant, causing trouble for many years, making trouble every month, the emperor ordered me to wait and endure it again and again, but if this continues, I am worried that my soldiers will be driven crazy by Wu Guo. In terms of national strength, the strength of our army is above that of Wu, and in terms of military strength, our army could have destroyed Wu State a long time ago, but ...... The eldest prince, this incident happened in Jiangxia, how do you plan to deal with it? ”

Lin Qi said: "The incident of the Wu State Navy crashing and sinking our country's patrol ship, there must be a reason, Wu and our country are allies, so naturally they will not do this kind of thing, presumably this is a misunderstanding, I am ready to come forward to mediate At this time, I will have an interview with Zhou Yu, the governor of Wu State." ”

"The Great Prince...... If you do this, I am afraid that it will damage the national prestige of our country! Zhang Liao didn't dare to agree.

"Hehe, I also follow the holy decree, the holy decree is written, no trouble is allowed without reason, everything is based on forbearance. The emperor said this, naturally there is the emperor's reason, general, are you right? Lin Qi asked rhetorically.

Zhang Liao sighed heavily, didn't say anything, and turned to leave. When he was about to walk out of the hall, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Lin Qi: "Great Prince, there is one thing I must remind you, there is a degree to everything, and blindly forbearance is cowardice." My army is in Xia, and if the eldest prince needs to transfer troops, even if he sends someone to inform me, I will do my best to give Wu a dismount. ”

Lin Qi smiled and said: "I understand the general's kindness, but I don't think I will need to meet each other." ”

Zhang Liao frowned, not knowing why Lin Qi did this, but shook his head helplessly, and quickly disappeared into the prefect's yamen.

Lin Qi looked at Zhang Liao's departing back and secretly shouted, "General Zhang, sooner or later, there will be a day." You'll understand how hard I'm doing this......"

On the Xunyang River, a flat boat with light sails rolled, Lin Qi sat on the bow of the boat, and gently played a flute sound, which was crisp and melodious, and spread far and wide.

Thin mist. With a faint song, everything seems so peaceful and comfortable. However, who would have thought that this Ye Bian Boat would soon fall into the encirclement of 10,000 people.

There were only two people on the boat, the captain and Lin Qi, after Lin Qi played a song, he put the flute in his waist, he wore a white robe, and slowly stood on the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back. His eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a hint of sadness on his fair and handsome face.

The boat rode the wind and waves, slowly sailed towards the shore of the Xunyang River, and when it was about to reach the shore, the warships with the Wu flag surrounded it from all directions, enclosing the leaf boat in a narrow water.

"Who's coming?" On the deck of a large warship, a general wearing armor and a silver helmet asked loudly.

Lin Qi looked around. There was a hint of contempt and contempt in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "I didn't expect it." Welcome to me, a powerless person, who actually uses such a big pomp, and most of you governors really look up to it. ”

"Are you...... The Jiangxia prefect invited by most of us to the meeting? On the deck of the warship, the general asked after hearing Lin Qi's words.

Lin Qi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

The general waved his hand. The warship slowly sailed away and lined up in front of Lin Qi, after which the warship beat a rumbling drum. The drums rumbled, and the general stood at the bow of the ship and hugged his fists and said: "In the Lower Wu State, Hengjiang General Lu Meng, I have seen the Kochi Mansion. ”

"It turned out to be General Lu. Look up for a long time. Lin Qi arched his hand.

"I heard that the Jiangxia prefect is a half-hundred-year-old man, but when I saw it today, I didn't expect it to be so young, and the rumors are really unbelievable." Lu Meng looked at Lin Qi and said slowly.

"Hehe, General Lu is right, but the previous Jiangxia prefect was a half-hundred-hundred-year-old man, and I just took office. General Lu, this is not a big camp of your army, and talking on this Xunyang River is inevitably a loss of hospitality, right? ”

Lu Meng smiled and said: "Don't blame the adults, I will take the adults to see the governor of my family." ”

Turning around, Lu Meng immediately shouted: "Get out of the way, let the adults pass!" ”

So, Wu's navy was divided into two sides, and the captain supported the boat, carrying Lin Qi through it.

Lu Meng kept looking at Lin Qi, and when he saw that there was no fear on this person's face, he felt very strange, and secretly thought: "At such a young age, he has such courage to dare to come to the meeting alone, it is too much to take us Wu people in his eyes......

So, Lu Meng turned around, summoned a personal attendant, and whispered a few words in the ear of the personal attendant, and the personal attendant left casually and quickly.

In Xunyang City, Zhou Yu sat on a small pavilion in the heart of the river, stroking the qin, the sound of the piano was long, giving people an extremely wonderful feeling, making everyone who heard the sound of the piano feel as if the surroundings were a paradise, and it was so quiet.

After a while, a rush of footsteps disrupted the sound of the piano, and there was a knocking sound from the wooden floor, which made people feel very harsh, and the people listening to the piano looked sideways, but when they saw a scout running fast, they knelt in front of Zhou Yu with a slick of smoke.

"Qiyu Metropolitan Governor, Hengjiang General Lu Meng sent news that the Jiangxia prefect came to the appointment alone......"

Zhou Yu pressed his hands on the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and his slightly closed eyes opened up again, and he immediately shouted: "Xu Sheng, Ding Feng!" ”

"The last general!"

"You can prepare a banquet, arrange singing and dancing, and the mansion will personally invite this Jiangxia prefect ......," Zhou Yu said lightly.

"No!"

Zhou Yu slowly stood up, glanced at the generals standing around, and immediately shouted: "Ling Cao, Zhu Ran, drive all the battleships to the river and display them on the riverside of the pheasant, Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, and Jiang Qin led the army to approach forward, waiting for the order of the government." ”

The generals replied in unison: "No! ”

Zhou Tai was beside Zhou Yu, and when he saw that everyone had errands, but he didn't, he asked, "Governor, what about me?" ”

"You follow the side of this mansion and go with me to the Jiangxia prefect's banquet." Zhou Yu said.

"Yes, Grand Duke."

Outside the north gate of Xunyang City, the honor guard of Wu was displayed very neatly, and the propaganda team was also neatly arranged, Zhou Tai rode a high-headed horse, leading fifty cavalry behind him to wait there. I saw that there was a team of Wu Guo coming on the road in front of him, led by a young man in white, with a face like a crown of jade and eyes like meteors, looking so handsome and chic.

"Didn't you say that the prefect of Jiangxia was an old man who was over half a hundred years old. How did you come to be a handsome boy? When Zhou Tai saw this, he turned around suspiciously and asked, "Is the scout's news wrong?" ”

"General, no, the scout's news has always been accurate."

Zhou Tai couldn't figure it out, so he didn't ask anymore, and when Lin Qi was sent close by Wu Guo's troops, he rode forward, and arched his hand towards Lin Qi on horseback: "Zhou Tai, the general of Wu Guozhenbei." I have seen the prefect of Jiangxia. ”

Lin Qi also responded politely: "Under the account of the governor of Jingzhou in the Huaxia Kingdom, the prefect of Jiangxia has seen General Zhou!" ”

Zhou Tai saw that Lin Qi didn't say his name, and there was a look of displeasure on his face, and he asked, "I don't know what to call adults?" ”

"Hehe, when I see the governor of Zhou, I will inform you in the next place. Although General Zhenbei is in a high position, he is indeed an official of the third grade in our Huaxia Kingdom. I'm still a prefect, you see me. It should be courteous, at least dismount and pay homage. Lin Qi said with a smile.

"You ......" Although Zhou Tai didn't like it in his heart, what Lin Qi said was the truth, General Zhenbei was indeed the third product in the general system of Huaxia Kingdom, and the civil and military system of Huaxia Country was very clear. Moreover, the military and the government are separated, so under normal circumstances, even if the general is very powerful and sees a superior superior, he must pay homage. It's a matter of etiquette.

"General, the Metropolitan Governor said, don't cause anything wrong......" The people around him saw that Zhou Tai was about to be angry, and immediately comforted.

Zhou Taiqiang held back the anger in his heart, jumped off the horse very reluctantly, and said to Lin Qi: "In the next Zhou Tai, I have seen the prefect!" ”

"Well, that's right. We are allies, and the most important thing between the two countries is the issue of etiquette. If you do this, it will be a great country etiquette! Lin Qi got cheap and said obediently.

"When the Metropolitan Governor waits for the prefect for a long time, please come with me into the city." Zhou Tai's face was cold, and he said to Lin Qi with a straight face.

Lin Qi smiled: "Then there is General Lao Zhou." ”

From beginning to end, Lin Qi never got off the horse, and under the leadership of Zhou Tai, he came to the county government of Xunyang City, and at this time, he got off the horse and followed Zhou Tai into the county office.

In the hall of the county government, Zhou Yu's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Zhou Tai bring Lin Qi in, he didn't expect the Jiangxia prefect to be so young, just from the appearance, body shape and temperament, it is not difficult for Zhou Yu to guess that Lin Qi is a pampered and wealthy person. He thought of the past and the Lin Lin of the Huaxia Kingdom, and seemed to have heard the scout say that Lin Qi, the eldest son of the emperor of the Huaxia Kingdom, had been in Jingzhou, so he asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, is it the Yan Hou who has been rumored for a long time recently?" ”

Lin Qi smiled, looked at Zhou Yu carefully, and saw that Zhou Yu was elegant and abnormal, with an extraordinary temperament, and a handsome face, so he hugged his fists and said: "Jiangxia Governor Lin Qi, I have seen the Governor of Wu!" ”

When Zhou Yu heard Lin Qi's name, he did prove that he had not guessed wrong, and carefully looked at Lin Qi's appearance, and found that his eyes and nose were indeed very similar to Lin Nan. He laughed and said slowly: "Yan Hou has good eyesight, but what I didn't expect was that Yan Hou would come to the appointment alone, isn't Yan Hou afraid that I will use any treacherous means to not let Yan Hou go back, so as to blackmail your country?" ”

Lin Qi said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I just can't ask for it, it just so happens that I can also enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, I heard that there are many beauties in Wu Kingdom, maybe I can also take a wife." ”

Zhou Yu saw that Lin Qi was not afraid at all, so he said: "Yan Hou really has the courage to dare to say such a thing to me, it is indeed quite a father's style." Yan Hou, please be seated! ”

Lin Qi bowed his hand politely, in response to Zhou Yu, and did not say anything more.

After Zhou Yu saw Lin Qi sit down, he said: "Yan Hou was able to come as promised, which really impressed me." However, things belong to things, and friendship belongs to friendship. The day before yesterday, our navy inadvertently hit and sank the Guizhou patrol boat, it was just a misunderstanding, at that time the river was foggy, and our navy could not see clearly, and accidentally hit the Guizhou patrol boat, and asked the prefect Haihan. ”

Lin Qi said: "I already know about this matter, our army and your army are allies, and I think your army will definitely not do such a thing that damages the alliance between the two countries." I have made proper arrangements for this matter, and the Governor does not need to worry too much. I came here today as I promised to talk to the Governor about something else......"

Zhou Yu saw that Lin Qi didn't mean this, so he asked, "Oh, what's the matter?" ”

"Although our two countries are allies, but the two countries have different systems, and the places under their jurisdiction are also different, and your army has repeatedly shuttled back and forth in our waters in the name of training sailors, seriously interfering with the normal life of our army's fishermen along the river, so I hope that the Metropolitan Governor can put a stop to it, so as not to escalate the conflict in the future and put on unnecessary disputes, and when the time comes, I am afraid that it will really damage the alliance between our two countries." Lin Qi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yan Hou said this is not right, our army is obviously catching water thieves in the river, and the water thieves flow into your waters, and our army has decided to sail into your waters out of the relationship of allies, so as to catch water thieves for your country, so as not to lose the fishermen of your country. Your country should be grateful to our army, how can you say that our army is not? Zhou Yu said.

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Governor Zhou, you are really good at talking......"

"...... each other," Zhou Yu also said with a smile.

Lin Qi put away his smile, looking at Zhou Yu's eyes full of wisdom, he couldn't help but feel more pressure in his heart, in the face of such a person, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get any benefits from Wu Guo. Before assisting Xun Yu in Jingzhou to deal with these problems, he had never shown his own face, and there were also the opinions of Xun You, Sima Lang, and Zhuge Jin, and now he faced Zhou Yu alone, but he was afraid that he would not be able to do it.

"No wonder my father has always praised Zhou Yu, this guy is really difficult to deal with, and he has repeatedly tested the strength of our army with water, what is the purpose? Could it be that this war between Huaxia and Wu is really about to break out, but the war in the northwest has not yet been settled, and if there is another dispute in the southeast, it will fall into a situation of fighting on two fronts......" Lin Qi thought secretly.

Zhou Yu saw that Lin Qi didn't speak, so he asked, "Yan Hou, what are you thinking?" ”

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "I'm wondering, should I meet your Emperor Majesty!" ”

"Hehe, I don't think there's any need for that, our majesty has entrusted me with carte blanche over the things here, and you and I say it's the same." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

After Lin Qi heard this, a glimmer of light burst out in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it's different, you are a minister, the emperor is a king, how can it be the same, if it is the same, then is the emperor a minister, or are you a king?" ”

Zhou Yu was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect to be caught by Lin Qi, and immediately explained: "Although Your Majesty and I are not brothers, we are better than brothers, Your Majesty's affairs are my affairs." Please don't distort the meaning......"

"In just one month, Wu and our army have had many conflicts in the river, and I can not blame the sinking of the patrol ship in the past, but I hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future, otherwise, my Huaxia country is not in vain, and the 300,000 navy is not just a decoration!" Lin Qi suddenly said sharply.

Zhou Yu looked kind, and said: "Yan Hou Mo is angry, let's talk about this matter slowly, but the waters around the pheasant in Xunyang Road have not been decided, so it will become a dispute between our two countries, if the pheasant can be returned to my Wu country, maybe this kind of thing will not happen." ”

Lin Qi said: "When the Pheasant County Order rebelled, you Wu Guo couldn't take it for a long time, and later invited our Huaxia State to send troops to help, and agreed that whoever captured the city, the Pheasant County was anyone's." Later, General Huya of our country led the army to conquer Xiapheasant County, and won Xiapheasant City in one fell swoop, and our army occupied Xiapheasant County according to the agreement, so why not? Do you want to break the contract? (To be continued......)
