The two teams met on the way to Linyi, stopped each other, and raised their flags.

The principals of the two sides had met at the front of the team at this moment, and the eldest prince froze and looked at each other with an incomprehensible expression. The person in charge of the other party was a young man, wearing a red and black battle armor, a Tuanjiao cloak, and a sweaty horse. He didn't wear a helmet, his hair was draped casually behind him, not long or short, and he looked heroic.

The eldest prince stood, and the young man opposite naturally didn't dare to hold it up. quickly dismounted, bent down to the eldest prince first, and said, "Meet Your Highness." ”

The eldest prince looked at the young man who was saluting respectfully, and then at the heavily armed army behind the young man, and said with a smile: "Why is the king of Nan'an here? ”

That young man turned out to be the Great Qin Nan'an King Fu Deng! He straightened up and said without humility or arrogance: "I heard that the imperial court was defeated by the water, and Your Majesty was covered with dust, and my heart was uneasy. He specially led the righteous army of Longxi Prefectures with a total of 50,000 people, and wanted to go to Xiangcheng Qin King to escort him. It was inevitable that Beijing teachers and students were suspicious, so they deliberately made a detour to Qingxu and passed through here. It's getting late today, and I want to bring all the troops into Linyi to rest. ”

After hearing this, the eldest prince's face suddenly softened, although there was also a relationship between him and the king of Nan'an to compete for the throne, but firstly, he did not put the king of Nan'an in his eyes, and secondly, he still had a clear distinction between right and wrong. Now that the imperial court is newly defeated, a large number of troops are needed to stabilize the front-line situation, and the king of Nan'an has brought 50,000 people to the king of Qin, which is a move of loyalty and righteousness, and must not be treated coldly.

"Wen Gao is righteous, and the lonely ancestor has thanked Wen Gao on behalf of his father. If there are a few more high-level characters in the clan, why should the imperial court be afraid of the southern barbarians! The eldest prince smiled and said, even with the title of a much more cordial person. Wengao is the table character of the king of Nan'an, and the king of Nan'an, Fu Deng, is the word Wengao. Although the king of Nan'an is about the same age as the eldest prince, he is a generation lower, he is the nephew of the Qin Emperor, and if he talks about the generation, he should also call the eldest prince an uncle. The eldest prince is commensurate with the words of the table, which is to convey goodwill.

Thinking of the reason why King Nan'an said earlier to detour to Xuzhou, the eldest prince was even more overjoyed. It stands to reason that the nearest distance from Longxi to Xiangcheng should be to take a straight line, passing through Jingshi all the way to the south. And the king of Nan'an first detoured to Qingzhou, then went down to Xuzhou, and then turned into Xiangcheng, which was actually a big circle. The reason for doing this, according to what King Nan'an just said, is that it is inevitable that Beijing teachers and students will be suspicious. Just imagine, His Majesty poured all the troops into the south, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who stayed in Beijing, only had tens of thousands of old and weak under his command, at this time, your King Nan'an brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the Beijing Division, what would the prince think? You said that you were borrowing the road and were going to the south to King Qin, how did the prince know if you wanted to take the opportunity to seize the capital and carry out a coup d'état?

Therefore, the Nan'an King's detour to Qingxu is actually the most appropriate route to the south. However, if the king of Nan'an does not detour to the prince, he will definitely be suspicious, but the prince will also be unhappy after the king of Nan'an detours, and he will feel that the king of Nan'an does not trust him and underestimates his mind. Therefore, no matter how the king of Nan'an chooses, as long as he goes south to the king of Qin, he will inevitably have a dislike with the prince. For the eldest prince, this is a good thing, and it is no wonder that the eldest prince is smiling at the moment.

"Your Highness is not driving with Your Majesty, how can you come here?"

After a period of greetings, King Nan'an was also very puzzled when he saw the same huge team led by the eldest prince. The only difference is that he is carrying an army of King Qin, who has strict military discipline, and although there are officers and soldiers in the team led by the great prince, the formation is much looser and more casual, and there are many civil officials and gentry and so on mixed in.

At this time, under the leadership of Wang Guoan, Pei Shengqin also came to the front of the team, looking at the opposite prince and the king of Nan'an at close range, and his heart was very excited. Fu Pi, the former Qin Aiping Emperor in history; Fu Deng, the former Qin Gao Emperor in history. If history had not changed, the two young people of the imperial family who were now opposing each other would have become the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty one after another! If Fu Pi's performance during his reign is only mediocre, then after Fu Deng succeeds to the throne, it can be described as "turning the tide".

At present, Qin has killed two generations of emperors in a row, Fu Jian and Fu Pi, within three years, and even Chang'an, the capital teacher, has fallen into the hands of thieves. It was Fu Deng who succeeded to the throne in Longxi in danger, rectified the rule of officials, improved people's livelihood, prepared for the establishment of dead and retired guards, and suppressed rebellions. provoked the survival of these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains on the shoulders of one person, and guarded the crumbling Great Qin Dynasty for nine years until its fall. In this way, he perfectly fulfilled the oath he made in the enthronement edict: Desperate for his life, he will be overcome!

Pei Shengqin focused his main attention on Fu Deng, faintly revealing this admiration. After crossing over, because he inherited the memory of his predecessor Pei Shengqin, Pei Shengqin was not excited when he saw the big shot. Even seeing the eldest prince today is just an ordinary treat, after all, the original Pei Sheng Qin is a noble son who has seen the Qin Emperor. But when he really saw Fu Deng, it was still difficult to suppress the surging in his heart, because it was a sad emperor worthy of admiration and worship by future generations. It can even be said that in terms of his contribution to the former Qin, Fu Deng is not inferior to Fu Jian, the ancestor emperor who swept away the kingdoms. Fu Jian laid down an unprecedentedly huge territory, but Fu Deng was responsible for guarding it.

"At the behest of my father, I went to the beach to meet the triumphant return of the Pei Marine, oh, now the Pei Sailor has been renamed the Tiance Army. The Tiance army attacked Huiji, presumably the king of Nan'an had heard about it. Oh, that is Pei Yuanluo, the chief general of the Tiance Army, Pei Taishou, and that young man is the real person in charge of the Tiance Army, the son of Pei Taishou, Yulin Lang Pei Shengqin. ”

Following the instructions of the eldest prince, Fu Deng successively swept his gaze over Pei Yuanluo and Pei Shengqin's father and son, and happened to meet Pei Shengqin's eyes. As if he saw the admiration in the young man's eyes, Fu Deng was very interested in Pei Sheng Qin and returned a kind look.

"I heard that there was a partial teacher in my dynasty who broke the meeting with a strange plan, it turned out to be Pei Taishou father and son, and the virtuous father and son saved the country with strange strategies, which is really admirable." In Xu, Yu and other prefectures and counties close to the front line, the story of Pei Shengqin's father and son winning the Huiji has long been spread, and it has even been adapted into a book commentary by the storyteller, which can be said to be known to everyone. However, Fu Deng's headquarters came all the way from Longxi, and although he also received information that an army had captured Huiji on the way, he did not know the specific situation. But it did not prevent him from expressing his respect for Pei Yuanluo's father and son, with Fu Deng's mind, how could he not know what it meant to Qianqin to take Huiji at this time.

"The king of Nan'an praised it falsely, my father and son's work is slight, why worry about it." Pei Yuan was slightly modest and didn't say much. Although he is a rough man, he has been in the court for decades, and he still has basic political wisdom. The eldest prince and the king of Nan'an, this one is long and the other is virtuous, but there is a competitive relationship. The two of them were in front of him at the same time, and unless business needed to be discussed, it would not be good for him to gossip with anyone.

Pei Shengqin naturally understood what his father meant, although he worshiped King Nan'an, he had no choice but to pay a respectful visit to Fu Deng at the moment, and praised things in a false voice, and it was not good to say too much gossip.

At this time, Fu Deng also saw Fu Rong in the crowd, and I have to say that it is difficult to make friends in the royal family by generation, Fu Deng and Fu Rong are actually about the same age, but they are two generations apart. This pair of ancestors and grandchildren, who thought that yin and yang would be separated forever, saw each other, and there was a sigh of embarrassment, needless to mention.

Although the eldest prince did not complete the goal of winning over Pei Shengqin today, he was not in a hurry, after all, Pei Shengqin was here, and there was an opportunity behind him. On the contrary, today he received Fu Rong, the general of the expedition to the south who came back from the dead, and also met the king of Nan'an, Fu Deng, and his army of 50,000 Qin Wang. It is conceivable that when the eldest prince returns to Xiangcheng with the Tiance Army, the General of Zhengnan, and the Longxi Qinwang Army, he will definitely be able to surprise Emperor Qin.

The eldest prince was full of welcome, and immediately invited Fu Deng to accompany him, return to Linyi, and then rush to Xiangcheng together after a few days of rest. Fu Deng disagreed, at this time, Xiangcheng had gathered hundreds of thousands of Qinwang troops, although the more the merrier, but it was not in urgent need. After resting and recuperating, it is always better to pass a group of tired soldiers.

The two teams merged, and the Longxi Army followed behind the Xuzhou officers and soldiers led by Wang Zhenwei and marched towards Linyi together.

At dusk, the sky in autumn has been darkened, and the Linyi city wall has been visible to the naked eye. This time, the imperial court prepared materials consumed by a million troops, which were piled up in various cities near the front line, including Linyi. Now the imperial army has lost hundreds of thousands, which is equivalent to an extra amount of grain and grass for hundreds of thousands of people to consume out of thin air, so the resources of the states and counties near the front line are extremely rich.

Linyi City had already received the news and began to set up a banquet for the triumphant soldiers, and the smoke curled up. Before entering the city, the soldiers in the team smelled the aroma of wine and meat, and couldn't help but relax their minds.

Including Pei Shengqin, he also relaxed at this time, looking at the scenery along the way, while chatting casually with Wang Guoan.

At this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred.

"Bang!"

A group of men in black sprang up from the grass on both sides of the road, throwing balls in their hands, which exploded in mid-air and sent out black smoke.

Black smoke spread, and a section of the long line was completely filled with smoke, making it impossible to see what was going on. Obviously, these black-clothed people were purposeful and premeditated, and what was shrouded in black smoke was exactly the part of the team where Pei Shengqin was.

Pei Shengqin only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell into a situation where he couldn't see his five fingers, and at this time, he only heard a very nice female voice beside him: "This young man is Pei Shengqin, who is going to capture Huiji, for Tyrannical Qin, catch him!" ”

"Yes!" There were a few more dull responses around him, and then Pei Shengqin felt that someone had grabbed his arms.

At the same time, there was a noisy exclamation in the ranks. Pei Shengqin's section was mostly the gentry who followed the eldest prince to greet them, and the psychological quality of these people was not comparable to that of the army.

"Ugh!"

Pei Shengqin only felt a violent impact on the back of his head, and then his eyes turned black and he was unconscious.
