Li Hongtu replied: "Something happened in the territory of Qi? ”

can make Yang Zhiyong give up the temptation to break through Yudu and directly lead the 100,000 army to withdraw, which is not a small change.

Xiao Ming nodded: "Does the king remember the news from the spies from the Qi State a month ago?" ”

Li Hongtu thought slightly, a month ago, the relics of the old Chu launched a rebellion in Chu and Qing prefectures in the south of Qi, and then the Northern Song Dynasty, which had been silent for many years, waved his army south after defeating Che Tian at Yumen Pass, and attacked the northern important town of Xiangzhou in Qi State...

Li Hongtu's eyes narrowed, could it be that Qianyu was taken down by the Northern Song Dynasty?

Come to think of it, this is the only reason that can make Yang Zhiyong make such a decision.

"Although Che Tian is a wine bag and rice bag, the 100,000 troops under his command are also uneven. But in just a few months, he first suffered a big defeat at Yumen Pass, and then he threw away the wealth..."

Xiao Ming shook his head, he only sighed why the King of Qi didn't send Che Tian to kill Yong. If Che Tian comes, he still needs to be so cautious, I am afraid that he will persuade the king to fight a decisive battle with him.

Li Hongtu said: "After the Northern Song Dynasty captured the Yu, it will definitely be dissatisfied in the face of the empty Xiangzhou, and Zhao Qingquan will turn the Qi army around in Qizhou, plus the barbarians in Northern Xinjiang are in civil strife.

With such a good opportunity, if Lone is Chen Xi, he will also lead the army south and go straight to Tianlan. Not to mention, there is still an inseparable blood feud between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Qi State. ”

The two of them walked as they spoke, and before they knew it, they had entered the palace.

Li Hongtu took Xiao Ming into a palace room, raised his hand and waved away the palace maid, he sat down directly, and at the same time motioned for Xiao Ming to sit next to him with his eyes.

After Xiao Ming sat down, Li Hongtu asked: "This time the Song army goes south, what will be the outcome of the victory?" ”

Xiao Ming replied: "There are too many variables, and the outcome is unpredictable. On the bright side, the momentum of the Song army was fierce, and the remaining Qi army in Xiangzhou was full of remnants of defeated generals, and the Northern Song Dynasty had a great chance of winning.

But Zhang Liangyuan's old fox will not sit still, and there is also a number one in the world who has been in charge of Tianlan for 20 years..."

It is said that the strength of an individual is insignificant on the battlefield, but what if it is the best in the world today?

In that year, the Song army was encircled and suppressed in Qizhou, and Yongguo also participated. The soldiers who survived the war by luck after the war, when they mentioned the peak battle between Guo Yi and Zhao Wenqi, their eyes were full of horror.

"Did a sword almost shatter the city walls..."

Li Hongtu groaned: "... Even if Zhao Wenqi can do it, after making that move once or twice, it is estimated that there will not be much strength left. No matter how high the realm of martial arts is, he is still a human being, not a god. ”

As a master of the realm of potential, he thought that if he struck with all his strength, he would be able to leave some marks on the city wall, so he did not doubt that Zhao Wenqi could smash the city wall with one sword.

But so what, in the face of thousands of troops, even if you can use such moves once or twice, when you run out of energy, you are not tied to death?

Xiao Ming nodded.

"But... can fight on par with Zhao Wenqi in the realm of grandmasters, but in the end, he only lost half a move. Guo Yi, the god of war, must also be in the realm of grandmasters..."

"Is the god of war really dead?" Li Hongtu asked suddenly.

Xiao Ming said: "I heard that Guo Yi and Zhao Wenqi finally handed each other a move, Zhao Wenqi was shot through the abdomen and luckily avoided the vital point, while Guo Yi was slashed into the cliff by a sword.

At that height, it is impossible for Guo Yi not to die. Moreover, if Guo Yi is not dead, with his rumored limelight temperament, how can he be unknown so far? ”

Hearing this, Li Hongtu sighed: "It's a big pity that I can't see the demeanor of the military god with my own eyes, I just hate being born a few years late." ”

Speaking of Guo Yi's death, Li Hongtu's eyes showed infinite regret.

As everyone knows, for this Northern Song Dynasty military god who once broke through the gate of Dayong, Yongwang Li Hongtu not only has no disgust, but respects him very much, and even dresses up to be similar to it, and at this moment he is even more Guo Yi's death and sighs.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming couldn't cry or laugh for a while. Who would have thought that the arrogant and self-respecting king would become like this as soon as Guo Yi was mentioned.

He was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the palace, and then a crisp voice came: "What makes the king sigh?" ”

Dressed in palace clothes, a petite woman came to the two of them with tea, and after putting the tea on the table, a pair of bright apricot eyes fell on Li Hongtu, and her eyes were full of love.

Xiao Ming bowed his head and saluted, while Li Hongtu smiled: "Xuan'er, why are you here?" ”

"When the concubine heard that the palace maid who served tea said that the king had returned to the palace, she hurried over to see the king." Princess Yong Tian Xuan said with a smile.

Li Hongtu said softly to her: "Gu and the military advisor still have something to discuss, you go back first, and Gu will look for you later." ”

Hearing Li Hongtu's words, Tian Xuan's pretty face with a little baby fat turned red, and then said: "Then the king doesn't want to deceive his concubines, he must come." ”

Seeing Li Hongtu nodding with a smile, Tian Xuan left with joy, like a child who had gotten his favorite toy.

Looking at her departing back, Xiao Ming shook his head.

A year ago, when Li Hongtu was traveling, he happened to see this girl with bright eyes in the crowd. When he returned to the palace, he immediately sent someone to investigate the girl.

Then, Li Hongtu recruited the girl into the palace, and resolutely made her the princess despite the opposition of the ministers.

King Yong named a commoner girl as a princess, which caused an uproar in the Yongguo Kingdom at that time. While many women envy the girl, whenever Li Hongtu travels, they will show off their dresses, hoping to attract Li Hongtu's attention.

However, since then, Li Hongtu has never accepted a princess.

The world only said that Li Hongtu was infatuated and single-minded, and Xiao Ming smiled and said nothing.

He knew that the reason why Li Hongtu traveled that day was because the ninety-second marriage proposal to the Northern Song Dynasty was rejected, and he went out of the palace to relax in irritation.

He knew that the reason why Li Hongtu accepted Tian Xuan, who was born in a commoner, as his princess was because her appearance was quite similar to someone.

Xiao Ming said: "I don't know when the king proposed the ninety-fourth marriage to the Northern Song Dynasty?" ”

Li Hongtu, who was drinking tea, squirted out the tea in his mouth violently, and his handsome face turned red.

Xiao Ming didn't look at his embarrassed appearance, and continued: "If the king agrees to go out of Shu to contain Yang Zhiyong, it is impossible to say that King Song will send the pearl of the marquis of Liaoling to the king as a princess in order to take care of the overall situation. ”

"Hmph." Li Hongtu wiped the tea on his face and said coldly: "In the early years, I was lonely and ignorant, but now with Xuan'er, she is gentle and lovely, where can I still look down on the Zhao whisper who doesn't know how to lift?" Don't talk about it again. ”

Xiao Ming was silent for a long time, and said: "In this case, the minister spent several months preparing for the king's marriage, the man will be silent when he sees it, and the woman will cry when he sees it, and the love letter that touches the world will not be used." ”

After that, Xiao Ming took out a letter from his sleeve and was about to tear it apart, when a coercion suddenly burst out from his side, and then three afterimages appeared in front of him.

Xiao Ming looked at his empty hands, and then turned his head to look at Li Hongtu.

Li Hongtu snorted, silently put the letter into his sleeve, and then asked, "... Can you really make men silent after watching it, and women crying after watching it? ”

“……”

"Lone is just curious if this letter is as magical as the military advisor said."

"This letter draws on the words used by the military god Guo Yi to courtship Yao Wei, the first beauty in Kyushu, and it is said that the effect is outstanding."

"Very good, very good."

Li Hongtu nodded with satisfaction, and then saw Xiao Ming looking at him with a smile.

He coughed lightly and said, "That, just now you said that you will be busy next, why on earth?" It can't be to help Gu prepare for the wedding. ”

He had just given the letter to the king, and he was already thinking about marriage.

Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly, "What the minister said is that I am out of Shu." ”

Li Hongtu tilted his head: "If the Song King refuses to be lonely for the ninety-third time, wouldn't the matter of going out of Shu be a wedding dress for the Northern Song Dynasty in vain?" Although Lone likes that Zhao whispering a little, he will not abandon his public because of personal gain. ”

"Definitely." Xiao Ming smiled and said: "Whether the Northern Song Dynasty agrees or not, the king should lead the army out of Shu." ”

"Why?"

"Although it is divided into three points today, the Qi family occupies seven states, and although the Yongguo has relied on the terrain for many years, it is not a long-term way. Now that Song and Qi are at war, and the south of Qi has suddenly rebelled, in this situation, if I don't go to get involved, it's not too much of a pity... Ahem. ”

Xiao Ming took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed twice, and continued: "Now that the Song army that has broken through the wealth is the thorn in the side of the Qi State, it is inevitable for Yang Zhiyong to return to Tianwei Pass, and Dayong should take this opportunity to send troops to Jiangzhou." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming smiled at Li Hongtu: "Presumably, the king doesn't want to stay in Shuzhou all the time." ”

"Nature."

Li Hongtu stood up and stretched out a hand, as if he wanted to grab something: "In this world, how can I, Dayong, not fight." ”
