Chapter Seventy-Seven: Negotiations by the Sea
After telling Rihito everything he wanted to tell him, Rihito frowned and said, "Oh! Li Zhixiao wants to negotiate peace now, what, does he have any requirements? ”
The spy hurriedly said: "Our Li Shuai doesn't have any other requirements now, just want to play a scene with Chaozhou Hou." ”
"Huh? Acting? What kind of play? Liren didn't understand, and asked directly.
"Specifically, the marshal of my family needs to talk to the Hou Ye in person." The spy replied to Liren in 1510, without hiding at all.
Li Ren looked at his subordinates on the left and right, and then asked, "Your marshal wants to see me?" When? What location? ”
"Outside the east of the city, by the sea, tomorrow at the third watch." The spy finally said everything he wanted to say, and quietly waited for Rihito's answer.
"Tomorrow night?" Li Ren frowned suddenly, just wondering what this Li Zhixiao wanted to do? Liangjiu Rihito said to him: "Go back and tell your marshal that I will be on time for the appointment tomorrow." Then he addressed his men: "Untie him and let him out of the city." ”
Zhang Hu and the others have always suspected that this spy is not well-intentioned, and now Hou Ye actually agreed to him, and they collectively stepped forward and bowed to Liren: "Hou Ye, you~~"
Rijin waved his hand and motioned for them not to speak now. After the guards took the spies out for a while, Li Ren said: "Tomorrow Zhang Lei will arrange all the people to monitor, Zhang Hu will lead people to step up the inspection of the city wall, and Dasha and Mr. Fang will accompany me to meet with Generalissimo Li." ”
"Lord, you can't go." Zhang Hu was anxious and had no choice, so he walked in front of Liren in two steps and knelt down on one knee to stop it.
As soon as he knelt down, the captain and Mr. Chen behind him fell to the ground, and Liren suddenly became angry: "What are you doing at this time? Could it be that he asked me out with a little marshal, and I didn't dare to go to the appointment with the Marquis of Chaozhou? All arose, and the matter was not discussed. With that, Rihito walked back to the middle seat and sat down angrily.
Fang Ning looked at the situation, but replied with a fist: "My subordinates must accompany Hou Ye to the appointment." ”
Chen Lin looked at this Fang Ning and felt that this person had changed, he frowned and said to Fang Ning, "Mr. Fang, how can you instigate the Hou Ye to take the risk of going to the appointment?" Don't you know that the whole of Chaozhou has to count on Hou Ye? ”
Fang Ning smiled slightly, walked over to help Li Ren pick up Chen Lin and said, "Mr. Chen, don't you know his temper after you have been with Hou Ye for so long?" Before Chen Lin could reply, Fang Ning said again: "Think about it, why did Master Hou dare to go to the appointment this time without even thinking about it." Doesn't Hou Ye know the danger? ”
"This time~~?" Chen Lin was silent for a moment, thought about it, and suddenly smiled embarrassedly and said: "Yes, this time it is at the beach, it should not be that Hou Ye is in danger, but that he Li Zhixiao." ”
Zhang Hu and the other captains are also confused now, Chen Lin explained: "I just forgot that there is our large warship on the beach, even if he Li Zhixiao is plotting against him, Hou Ye will not be in danger." ”
At this time, Li Ren waited for Chen Lin to finish explaining, and then walked up to the captains who were still kneeling on the ground, and shouted at them: "I really don't know, where did you learn the strategy and tactics you learned before?" Didn't you summarize why there are no enemies in the east? Hum~! From tomorrow, all the vice-captain and above will take turns to study at the military academy on the island, and after three months, I will check your results. If anyone pretends to be sick and doesn't go, I'll kick him out and be a husband. ”
Suddenly, the captains behind Zhang Hu all had bitter gourd faces, and even whispered: "Damn, why didn't I want to kneel again just now, and now I want to go to see those wood-faced masters, it is better to kill me." ”
"Shhh~! Be quiet, don't let Master Hou hear it, do you really want to be a man? ”
"Go~! Who is going to be a gangster, didn't I just complain~! The general who complained just now suddenly shrank his head and muttered quietly.
On the second day, on a moonless night, the sea breeze blew slowly, and more than 100 soldiers next to him played the wind lanterns, illuminating this seaside place and even a sea crab clearly. Soon, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves, "cluck~~!" It came from the west, and a guard in charge of lookout hurriedly hugged his fist in front of him: "Lord Qiqi, the enemy has a total of more than 300 people and horses, and they are coming." ”
"Hmmm! Continue looking. Rihito waved his hand and spoke.
The shadow of a horse with the wind appeared in the dark night, followed by the shout of slowing down: "Yu~~~!" ”。
Soon, accompanied by a hundred pairs of soldiers, one was slender, with a white and clean face, and a pair of slender hair. Wearing an aqua blue Confucian costume, it will make people know that he is a person who knows how to enjoy. But his pair of triangular eagle eyes make people know at a glance that this person is scheming.
Li Ren had already seen him on the high earth platform in several siege battles, so he knew that this person was Li Zhixiao, and immediately bowed his hand to the person in front of him: "Oh! Generalissimo Li, I will be fortunate to meet ~! ”
Li Zhixiao got off the horse and saw a person like the stars holding the moon, under the arch of soldiers with unknown lanterns. Immediately knew in his heart that this person was the Marquis of Chaozhou, and when he walked into two steps and saw this person carefully, Li Zhixiao looked at it carefully in his heart. I saw this Chaozhou Hou, dressed in a white Hanfu, with dark blue clothes and embroidery showing this person's taste. The face is beardless, and the wheat yellow skin shows that this person is very healthy. A pair of eyes that are always shining, as if they can see through anyone. After taking two steps closer, he could immediately feel a burst of oppression on this person's body, which made Li Zhixiao very uncomfortable.
Frowning, Li Zhixiao smiled at the young man in front of him and said, "Hehe, I think this is Lord Yang Liren Yang of Chaozhou." Tsk, it's really a hero who is not a young man, but I didn't expect that Hou Ye would be so young. ”
"Haha, Master Li praised it falsely." Liren pretended to be embarrassed and bowed his hand to Li Zhixiao again. Then Li Ren didn't wait for Li Zhixiao to pretend to be stupid with him again, and asked euphemistically with a smile: "I don't know what happened to Generalissimo Li today, looking for me, a thief who is considered by adults?" ”
Li Zhixiao suddenly felt that this Chaozhou Hou was not simple, and immediately said with a smile: "Master Hou misunderstood, hehe, misunderstood~!" How could Hou Ye be a thief? ”
"Oh? I'm not a thief, why did you, Generalissimo Li, with hundreds of thousands of troops, shout to destroy the thieves, and come to attack my city? ”
Li Zhixiao suddenly wanted to lose his temper, but the henchman next to him touched him lightly, and then shook his head at him. Li Zhixiao realized that he was now negotiating with others, and immediately smiled at Chaozhou Hou and hurriedly said, "Master Hou misunderstood, what a misunderstanding." ”
"Oh? What did Generalissimo Lee have to say? Riren asked.
"Master Hou, you don't know. Now that the marshal of my family knows that he is attacking the Marquis of Chaozhou, he regrets it. The general next to him immediately took over Li Zhixiao's words, and after speaking, he gently bumped into Li Zhixiao, who was one step ahead of him.
Li Zhixiao reacted and immediately said, "Yes, now I regret it." ”
"What's the explanation?" Rihito smiled and wanted to see what the two were trying to make up.
Li Zhixiao didn't know how to say it now, so he hurriedly turned around and urged the general with his eyes, and the general quickly took over the conversation and said, "Master Hou, do you know Shi Miyuan's history?" ”
Li Ren was just amused in his heart, nodded and replied: "You know, isn't it the Shi Miyuan Shi Xiangye who brought disaster to the country and the people?" This person knows him as long as he is a subject of the Great Song Dynasty. What, could it be that this matter has something to do with Shi Miyuan? ”
The general suddenly made an exaggerated expression on his face, and praised loudly: "Oops~!" I didn't expect Hou Ye to be a god, just guess it, yes, this matter has a lot to do with Shi Miyuan. ”
"Shi Miyuan, is it? Hum~! This old bastard is really looking for scolding. Li Ren also pretended to be vicious and began to curse Shi Miyuan.
When the general saw the current appearance of the Marquis of Chaozhou, he thought that he had entered the urn. immediately added oil and vinegar, and painted how Shi Miyuan promulgated the holy decree and how to urge Li Xiaozhi to attack. In the end, Li Xiaozhi was described as a fool who knew nothing and would only act according to orders, and put all the responsibility on Shi Miyuan, who was far away in the capital.
Ke Liren is not a fool, and said to Li Zhixiao with a smile: "Okay, Generalissimo Li was really deceived by the villain and beat me Chaozhou by mistake." Haha~~" laughed for a while, and suddenly Liren stared at his eyes and asked, "Okay!" Then let me ask Generalissimo Li, since you were wrongly deceived by the villain, why are you so vicious to the Chaozhou Xiong Zhizhou family, and why do you have to raid the homes of the people of Chaozhou? ”
Li Zhixiao was dumbfounded by the question, and the partial general next to him wanted to say something, but Liren directly interrupted him and asked: "Generalissimo Li, what do you say, why?" ”
When Generalissimo Li was asked like this, he suddenly shouted loudly to Li Ren: "Bah~! You little Chaozhou Hou, do you have to ask questions about Lao Tzu's work? Coming to see you tonight is to give you face, don't be too ignorant of lifting~! Lao Tzu has thousands of people with him, don't blame me for not being affectionate~! ”
"Hahaha~! Okay! If it doesn't make sense, you're ready to use force. Yes, you think I'm afraid that you won't succeed, you have only a few thousand people, haha, today I called you to come and go~! After Rihito finished speaking, he took out a cupola cannon from his arms, and pulled the ring in his hand and prepared to launch.
At this time, Li Zhixiao's partial general was already in a hurry, so he hurriedly persuaded both sides, but his temper as a coach was too hard.
Li Zhixiao had already taken the first step to let his soldiers launch a rocket into the sky, and Li Ren did not show weakness when he saw this, and immediately pulled the cupola cannon in his hand. "Whoosh~~~! Syllable~! A red fireball quickly rose into the sky and exploded into a yellow chrysanthemum.
"Tom! ~! I only heard a loud noise on the sea, and then dozens of sounds reached Li Zhixiao's ears. He was stunned for a moment, and asked in a panic, "What, how did you use that thing on the sea?" He was no stranger to this kind of sound, because the day before yesterday there was such a sound in the siege battle.
