After getting drunk, Li Canglan talked about the Battle of the Birch River for the second time, Zhang Xiaowu didn't know why he remembered it, so he asked what the Battle of the Birch River meant to you, Li Canglan was silent for a long time, and then said: "My father was a member of the Xuanwu Army in the Battle of the Birch River, and the family teacher was one of the few surviving generals in the Battle of the Birch River. ”

Zhang Xiaowu then understood why he was obsessed with the battle of the Birch River, it turned out that the national enemy and the family hated together, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "In the future, you and I will lead the army to the north to attack Beiyi, smash the capital of Beiyi, and capture the king of Beiyi alive. ”

Li Canglan slapped the table and said, "I want to lead the Xuanwu Army and set foot in the Kanto!" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I'll help you!" ”

Li Canglan looked excited and said: "With the help of the first, a certain family is like a tiger with wings, you first talk about how to cut off Beiyi?" Have a plan in mind? What are the requirements? ”

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you really have this plan?" ”

Li Canglan said with red eyes: "My wish is to set foot in the eastern part of the country and expand the territory, how can I laugh?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu pondered for a moment and said: "The plan to destroy Beiyi is really huge, I only say that my previous plan, if you want to destroy Beiyi, you must first destroy the Yao." If you want to destroy the mitweed, first win over the mitweed. Each of the eight divisions is different, and it takes turns to be the king, and we can do business with one or several of them, make them rich, and make them a model of sinicization, so that it will definitely arouse the jealousy of the other departments. After that, we sowed discord and let them kill each other, and took the opportunity to assimilate and co-opt, so that the country will definitely perish. For so many years, Beiyi has not sent a large army to destroy the Ya, because they know that once the Ya is destroyed, one is to hurt the muscles and bones, and the other is to face the holy Han. ”

Li Canglan said: "What you are talking about is the trend of the situation, so how should you fight on the march?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You can't use soldiers to destroy Beiyi, you must use soldiers to destroy Beiyi, Beiyi has its own language, writing, culture, beliefs and sacrifices, so you must attack with an army to destroy Beiyi." The biggest difficulty in destroying Beiyi is not how difficult Beiyi is to fight, but the more difficult it is to march north, especially the need to pass through twelve rivers and several swamps, so it can only be attacked in winter. However, the winter attack faced a long supply line, and the Beiyi people were accustomed to fighting in winter, and they had the geographical advantage of the time, so they could retain the Beiyi Khan's court. Therefore, on the one hand, we can press the border and threaten the Beiyi people to fight a decisive battle with the army, and then send two strange troops, the first way is to fight the cavalry to the northeast along the Dead Sea Desert in Saibei, and the other way is to go forward by boat along the east coastline, and finally arrive at the coast of Beiyi East China Sea, and penetrate directly into the heart of Beiyi's abdomen from the east and west. ”

Li Canglan's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted, "You have already thought of a countermeasure?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said nothing, but instead shook his head and sighed: "The Holy Han Empire has failed several times in the Northern Expedition to the Beiyi, so once the crusade against the Beiyi is proposed, it will definitely be hindered in every way. Even the generalissimo would not take out his White Tiger Legion to crusade against Beiyi, so this strategy is just a fantasy. ”

Li Canglan laughed, directly put the two jars of wine on the table, and said, "Come on, come on, enjoy, enjoy, drink!" Zhang Xiaowu gave up his life to accompany the gentleman, and he took a sip of the wine jar with him, this sip of wine was indeed in place, he put down the wine jar slowly, and saw that Li Canglan was also in a trance, but laughed and said: "Brother Xian, if one day, I am the commander of the Northern Expedition, you are the deputy marshal, you and I will destroy Beiyi together, how about it?" ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Zhang Xiaowu Top Gun Lingyun Road.

Li Canglan laughed heartily and said: "I will definitely become a commander, and I will definitely lead the Xuanwu Army to level Beiyi!" After saying this, maybe it was really too much, Li Canglan fell directly on the table, smashed his head into the plate and bowl, and dropped the wine and food on the ground.

The soldiers outside rushed in after hearing the sound, and his subordinate Min Bachi sighed, and pushed Li Canglan who was lying in the wine and food in surprise, and called: "Senior uncle, senior uncle, junior uncle?" Then I found that he was really drunk and unconscious, so he could only smile bitterly, and said as usual: "Yes, there are more, my little uncle can't drink enough and still wants to drink, but he just met a friend, it seems that my little uncle admires General Zhang very much." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was also stunned for a long time, he thought that Li Canglan was full of pride in drinking, but he didn't expect to be so drunk so thoroughly, so he could only smile and shake his head. However, Zhang Xiaowu admires him very much in his heart, this person has ideals and ambitions, and wants to rebuild the Xuanwu Legion Northern Expedition to Beiyi to avenge his father's hatred, and now he has taken refuge in Dushanbo and is reused as the general of the Imperial Forest Army, which should not be far from the goal.

The subordinates packed up everything, Min Bachi asked to change the table of wine and food, Zhang Xiaowu said that he had eaten and drunk enough, and there was no need to eat and drink anymore, Min Bachi bowed and retired, and advised: "We will definitely protect the safety of the general." ”

Zhang Xiaowu heard a little inexplicable, in the middle of the night at the third watch, suddenly heard a commotion outside, he got up to visit, but saw a group of royal forest soldiers firmly protecting the warehouse. Zhang Xiaowu turned around and took the Beiyi people's weapons from the box and held them in his hands, but then the outside calmed down. Zhang Xiaowu didn't sleep soundly, and he didn't know what kind of enemy he was about to face.

The next day, when Zhang Xiaowu woke up, he only heard someone talking outside, and then he saw a servant bring up the decanting soup and some snacks, lowered his head and said cautiously: "General, please eat some breakfast." ”

Zhang Xiaowu had a splitting headache, waved his hand to let him go down, after the servant went down, Zhang Xiaowu returned to the bed and continued to fall asleep, this time he really slept until he woke up naturally, and he was very thirsty after waking up, so he was ready to drink sobering soup. But he had an extra heart, poured the decanting soup first, and then said: "When people from outside come in, is there still decanting soup?" ”

Two Imperial Guards walked in and said, "General, we don't have a sobering soup. ”

Zhang Xiaowuqi said: "In the morning, someone came to deliver the sobering soup. ”

The two looked at each other and said, "In the morning, a eunuch was found to be strangled outside, and we went to see the excitement, but we didn't see anyone else, and we didn't send anything. The Lord Commander said that we are not to enter the treasury and disturb the general's rest unless you call us. ”

Zhang Xiaowu was taken aback and asked them to go out first.

After a while, Li Canglan came with someone, and when he saw that there was a snack on his table, he walked over to take it and eat it, Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly stopped it, and said something strange this morning. Li Canglan immediately asked people to find a dog and fed the snack to the dog, and the dog died of convulsions after a while.

Li Canglan said angrily: "Who? Who dared to do this to General Zhang? ”
