Chapter 215: Jinhua Alliance

"Jinhua, that place is good, there are many camellias, Marshal He really knows how to choose a place!"

"As long as Jinhua guards the heights on all sides and does not let the cavalry of the South China Sea come in, it will be safe!"

As soon as Jinhua was mentioned, the civil officials were immediately interested, presumably because of the "Lanting Collection Preface" that made them know a lot about Jinhua.

"Surrounded by mountains on three sides and sandwiched by a river, the basin is scattered and contains three rivers" is the portrayal of Jinhua, Huiji Mountain, Xianxia Ridge all wrap this place.

In fact, it is also a good choice for the Southern Navy, and it is not too far from Xianxia Pass.

The ministers of Wei chose the location of the alliance, and the next thing was to inform Zhou Dapeng and Li Xiaofei of the Southern Navy.

As for how to inform the two leaders of the Southern Navy, Jia Yuanen decided that the team of the alliance would set off with the messenger.

Walking not far from Qiantang, he met the messenger of the Southern Navy, and Jia Yuanen met this person only to learn that Zhou Dapeng had also chosen Jinhua as the place of the alliance.

Zhou Dapeng had already taken people to the direction of Jinhua, and sent a team of personal soldiers to inform Li Xiaofei that he would also go to Jinhua to join the alliance.

In order to ensure that Sanjiangkou would not be besieged again, Li Xiaofei left the White Horse Battalion and the Bow and Crossbow Battalion at Sanjiangkou, and he only took the Dead Soldiers Battalion and the Spear Battalion to the Alliance.

Before leaving, Chen Jingyi and Lin Changsheng asked Li Xiaofei when it would be their turn to gallop across the field, and they were quite disappointed.

Li Xiaofei hugged the two of them one left and one right, "Good steel must be used on the blade!" When the peace agreement is reached, you will board the boat and go up the river by water! If the peace agreement fails, the Wei army will definitely attack Sanjiangkou again, are you two still afraid that there will be no battle? ”

"Tracing the river? Isn't it too late for peace talks to be reached? Chen Jingyi silently calculated the schedule from Sanjiangkou to Jinling in his heart

"General Chen is really smart! Third Brother Zhu and Second Brother Tian will arrange it, don't worry! As Li Xiaofei spoke, he withdrew his hand and moved towards Zhu Asan

Zhu A Santian Erzhuang smiled knowingly, "We have done a lot of things in the dark Chen Cang, don't worry!" General Chen and General Lin will be able to board the ship tonight! ”

"What should I do with Lao Meng? Am I left to defend the city again? I haven't seen my wife in months! Li Xiaofei, you can't fool me like this! Meng Crow also shouted

"Haha, Brother Meng misses his sister-in-law again, okay, I just want to send someone back to the South China Sea to report to Old Prince Chen about the consumption of grain and materials in the past few months, and Brother Meng just goes back with him!"

"Then who will guard these three river esturies? We're all gone, how can this work? ”

"The Southern Navy is full of talents, and there is no shortage of people who defend the city! You can't stay in this Sanjiangkou all the time! What's more, the brothers recruited again from the South China Sea are also almost here! Let's all take their place and do their job! Let's get together in Wuchang on another day and celebrate the success with wine! ”

After saying this, Li Xiaofei stepped on the back of the horse and hit the horse and walked forward, and everyone hugged their fists to send each other.

Half a month later, Wei's peace team and Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng of the Southern Navy finally met outside Jinhua City.

Although the Wei army on Jinhua City knew that the Southern Navy had come to negotiate peace, they did not dare to relax in the slightest, and they all stretched out their bows and arrows to the ground in case of contingencies.

Li Xiaofei asked Zhou Dapeng to retreat to the sword and shield camp, and rode alone to the Wei team under the city gate and slowly paced.

When he walked ten zhang away from everyone, Li Xiaofei got off the horse and saw that nearly half of the characters from Wei Guolai were acquaintances, so he waved his hand and greeted him with a smile.

The officials of Wei State lowered their heads and did not dare to respond, but Jia Yuanen was free and easy, "Master Li, who is exquisite, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect that the one who came to negotiate peace with us today was actually it."

You! Haha, it looks like it can definitely be done! ”

"Lord Jia, I am fortunate to be here, thanks to Lord Jia's care in Jinling back then, Xiaofei and I have where I am today!"

"Lord Li, didn't you say that the two of you bosses came to negotiate peace? Why are you here alone? ”

"There are bows and crossbows in the city, it's nothing if I die, if Marshal Zhou dies, this army will be leaderless, and then it will be chaotic! Please also ask Lord Jia to raise your noble hand and let Marshal Zhou and me enter the city! ”

Jia Yuanen waved his hand towards the city, "Put down the guys in your hands!" Master Li is an old friend of ours, don't be nervous! ”

The soldiers in the city immediately lowered their bows and crossbows and waved in response.

Li Xiaofei turned around and waved his hand towards the Southern Naval Formation, and Zhou Dapeng walked over from the Sword and Shield Camp.

"Marshal Zhou's letter, Jia has always been with him, I can see it today, it is really like his person, admire and admire!"

"Lord Jia has won the award, it is rare that Lord Jia has the courage to have today's alliance!"

"Master Jia, let's go into the city earlier, Marshal Zhou and I are hungry, presumably there is ham for us to eat in this Jinhua City!" Li Xiaofei smiled and touched his stomach

"Into town! Town! Eat first, then talk about peace! Jia Yuanen beckoned everyone to get out of the way, and pulled Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng into Jinhua City.

The sword and shield battalion commander outside the city, the halberd battalion, the Kaishan battalion retreated, set up three miles, set up the camp, hung up the battle-free card, and began to make a fire to cook.

The Lance Battalion and the Diggers did not show up, and Cai Guishan was leading them to set traps at several intersections outside the city.

This is all arranged by Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng, they are sincere about peace talks, but they have to guard against people. Only if the people and horses of the six battalions outside the city are safe and sound, can the lives of Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng be guaranteed.

Yu Tao's statement is that it is better for the six battalions of men and horses to go around the city a few times and show their military prestige with great fanfare.

The rest of the battalion generals also have this opinion, and Zhou Dapeng tried his best to disagree with the public, "If all the men and horses of the six battalions are exposed, it will make the ministers of Wei State and the peace of Wei State suspicious, and if they don't get it right, it will stimulate them." It is better to have half of the men and horses stationed outside the city to show goodwill, and the other half to secretly control the various intersections, so that even if there is a real change, Jinhua can be besieged immediately. ”

Of course, the Southern Navy thought that it was too risky for the two commanders to participate in the alliance, Li Xiaofei patted Yu Tao on the shoulder, "If you leave the two of us, won't you fight anymore?" You will all be in command of thousands of troops and horses in the future, and today these six battalions of men and horses will let you lead for three days! ”

As he spoke, he untied the sword and handed it to Yu Tao, who took the sword, "Lord Xie Li trusts, and the original will be returned in three days!" ”

After entering the city, Zhou Dapeng's worries weakened, because the soldiers and civilians in the city were like facing a great enemy, and when they saw Zhou Dapeng covered in armor, they bowed their heads or looked at each other angrily.

Jia Yuanen quipped, "People in the countryside don't understand etiquette, don't be surprised"

"Very well, Lord Jia, sincere hostility is better than a false smile." Zhou Dapeng smiled

"Marshal Zhou always speaks so directly, Lord Jia should also forgive me, I, Li Xiaofei, think that this place is somewhat similar to the place when I first became a taishou, and it is a good place with simple folk customs."

"Li Daren is both civil and military, a good talent in the world, and it is a kind of luck to be able to work with Li Daren. If Master Li had stayed in Dawei, many of Dawei's problems might have been solved! Jia Yuanen mentioned it as he spoke

Old things

"Lord Jia is exalted, the land of the four battles of the Great Wei, Guanzhong Heluo has been short of food for a long time, and Jiangnan is under the threat of Cui Ju and the South China Sea. Although the land of Lianghuai is full of soldiers and food, sooner or later it will become a big trend. Where does Xiaofei have the ability to cure so many stubborn diseases? ”

"Master Li is looking at the fire, Jia admires it, don't say it, don't say it, it's time to eat and drink in the welcome building!"

"Lord Jia is honest and honest, and Xiaofei admires it very much"

Several people laughed and went up to the welcome building to eat and drink under the guidance of the slave.

As soon as they saw the zongzi on the table, everyone remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

"Don't eat the meal first, Marshal Zhou, Lord Li, if you are wronged, take a few zongzi to fill your stomach first. Jia wants to go to worship Dr. Sanlu first! Please forgive me! ”

As he spoke, Jia Yuanen led everyone down, and Li Xiaofei and Zhou Dapeng also followed.

"Lord Jia, this ancestor of the great sage, we also have to worship, the car left us!"

"Master Jia, go together!"

"Okay, good, I didn't expect the two of you to respect Dr. Sanlu so much, it's great"

Jia Yuanen led everyone to the Shuanglong River outside the east gate of Jinhua City, only to see that the river was already crowded.

On the riverbank, old and young, women and children are cheering and shouting together, and there are many vendors carrying zongzi, plums, peaches, and apricots to sell.

The five dragon boats in the river are chasing me, the men on the dragon boats are paddling hard, and the people sitting on the dragon head are constantly waving their hands rhythmically and shouting "Win the handsome!" Win the handsome! ”

The men paddling on the dragon boat also shouted to the beat, only to see that the five dragon boats were almost parallel, and no one was far behind, and the shouts of the men had overshadowed the sound on the shore.

"After the dragon boat race, it's time to worship Dr. Sanlu, Jinhua is too guarded by Yu Weizhong, this place of worship is still bothering you to take us over!" Jia Yuanen said to Yu Weizhong

Yu Weizhong's face was embarrassed, "This, Lord Jia, our Jinhua worships Wu Zixu, a sage, and failed to prepare the three animals and the statue tablet of Dr. Sanlu!" ”

Jia Yuanen just wanted to ask, his face turned gloomy, and then he smiled again, "Follow the customs, follow the customs, then you take us to worship Wu Zixu!" Marshal Li, what do you think? ”

"It's also our negligence for a while, this is the land of the ancient Wu Kingdom, Wu Chu has a feud, I'm afraid we won't worship Qu Yuan! This Wu Zixu is a great hero of Wu and a generation of famous generals, and it is also appropriate to worship him! Zhou Dapeng also reacted

"I don't read much, but this Qu Yuan is a loyal minister, loyal and patriotic, even in the land of Wu, it is within the scope of worshipping him!" Li Xiaofei did not agree

"Lord Li's opinion, Yan also agrees, Qu Yuan is a loyal minister, as long as he is a descendant of Yan and Huang, they should be worshipped, and they should not be divided into each other!" Yan Ruohua saw that Zhou and Li had different views, and they were openly agreeing with Li Xiaofei, but secretly they wanted to provoke the two

The rest of the people also followed suit, some said that they only worshiped Wu Zixu, and some felt that they should worship together with Qu Yuan.

Before he finished speaking, he had already arrived at the place of worship, a statue of Wu Zixu was about one zhang high, and dozens of people dressed as Wu soldiers held Wu hooks in front of the statue and chanted words.

Since there was only Wu Zixu's altar, everyone had to kneel down and worship first.
