"Mr. Gu, Zishuo also said that the matter of recruiting Lian Min was actually a temporary move, and it was not planned a long time ago, and even if it was in front of the two armies that day, Zishuo did not have the slightest confidence that General Lian would come to vote."

After Xiao Zishuo learned that the army of the Chu State had entered Qi, the original careful thought of wanting to kick out the Qin people suddenly disappeared, so he immediately explained after Gu Daoyuan finished speaking.

Gu Daoyuan used his eyes to stop Fang Hengxin, who was not good-looking, from continuing to ask questions, and nodded and said to Xiao Zishuo:

"The eldest son said that the plot against Lian Min was a temporary decision made by the prince when he suddenly remembered that Lian Min had been favored by you in the past, so he made a temporary decision, is this true?"

Listening to Gu Daoyuan's inquiry, Xiao Zishuo suddenly blushed, and the anger in his heart instantly filled his heart.

He is also the eldest son of Qi State, this Gu Daoyuan is just a doctor, and he dares to question himself like this, looking like he doesn't believe himself.

This greatly hurt Xiao Zishuo's self-esteem.

But he finally endured it and said to Gu Daoyuan:

"What Mr. Gu said is very true, Zishuo did say so."

After hearing this, Gu Daoyuan frowned slightly, and asked again:

"Before the battle that day, General Lian Min mentioned a gentleman surnamed Xiao, which shows that the person sent by the eldest son to persuade Lian Min is surnamed Xiao.

This person dares to go to the Quanyu camp alone, and can persuade Lian Min to be like-minded, he must be an ordinary person.

Gu was fascinated by this gentleman's courage for a few days, and asked the eldest son to introduce this gentleman. I'll wait to see this Mr. Xiao's demeanor. ”

As soon as Xiao Zishuo heard Gu Daoyuan's question, the secret path finally came, so he hurriedly said:

"Mr. Gu praised it falsely, this person is just a relative of mine, and he is not a powerful person.

It's just that he had an old relationship with Lian Min at the beginning, so he was sent by me, but he didn't expect to make this matter more effective with half the effort, which made Mr. Gu look forward to it.

That day, Mr. Gu also heard General Lian say that Mr. Xiao was injured and could not get out of bed these days, so please forgive Mr. Gu. ”

After Gu Daoyuan listened to Xiao Zishuo's words, although he didn't believe that Mr. Xiao was Xiao Zishuo's relative, the injury was also real, so he simply said that it was okay and stopped mentioning it.

But he and Fang Hengxin's eyes intersected, and they both saw each other's worries.

The appearance of such a powerful capable person next to Xiao Zishuo is a tricky thing.

The appearance of this person may have some extraneous branches for this big plan, how can the two of them not scruple about it.

Originally, they thought that this Mr. Xiao appeared when he was between Moxian and Xiaoshui on the march, but when Gu Daoyuan and the others asked the generals of those counties no matter what, they all said that they didn't know who Mr. Xiao was.

Only Edo had remembered that Xiao Jin, a staff member in his house, was beside Xiao Zishuo, but thinking about his age before the weak crown and his humble status, he laughed it off.

On the yellow water that has passed away, a series of giant ships carrying 120,000 troops are marching towards Tokyo, hundreds of ships almost occupy the water, and dozens of miles of boats are lined up in front and behind.

When he set off from Xiaoshui, Xiao Zishuo not only took away the 20,000 soldiers who came to surrender earlier, but also took 70,000 horses under Lian Min and 30,000 Qin troops.

Standing in the front cabin of the giant arm, he couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism in his heart as he looked at the turbulent yellow water in front of him and the countless ships of the 120,000 army behind him.

He tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand and said seriously to Xiao Jin beside him:

"Xiao Jin, do you think I can sit in the position of the monarch of the Qi Kingdom?"

Xiao Jin, who was also shocked by the yellow water and the fleet, said with a smile:

"Brother Zishuo, the 120,000 army is sent to Tokyo, even if Gongziyan is powerful, what can you do, when you ascend to the throne of the monarch and lead the troops to the south, the 100,000 Chu army is just a frightened bird, and it will definitely take the initiative to retreat.

Besides, isn't there still a Qin State that supports you?

So Brother Zishuo can rest assured, in my opinion, except for those ministers in the center who need you to plan and fight again, other things are not to worry about. ”

After Xiao Jin finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zishuo looking back at himself, and said with a smile:

"If you are a good Qi countryman, I will make you a military advisor, as long as you are by my side, I will always be down-to-earth."

Xiao Geun understands that Xiao Zishuo hardly consults with anyone except to talk to him about the current situation and discuss future plans with him every day.

Because apart from himself, among the 120,000 people who traveled with Xiao Zishuo, there was no one who could make Xiao Zishuo completely let go of his defense.

"Brother Zishuo said and laughed, where was born is given by God, where there are so many ifs, besides, I promised you to help you win the public position, you didn't laugh at my mantis arm as a car at the beginning, I will do my best today to realize what I have said and do my best to repay the grace of the encounter."

Xiao Zishuo smiled, patted Xiao Jin's shoulder, and looked at the young and immature cheeks seriously.

How many people in this world can have this talent if they are not as weak as a crown.

Looking at Xiao Jin, Xiao Zishuo suddenly felt a little jealous.

"You know what? The last time you went to lobby Lian Min, I actually didn't hold out hope.

Because that Lian Min has become an official to the rank of deputy general, and Quan Yu is also very good to him on the surface, he is reasonable, public and private, I don't think he is a person who can be convinced.

But I let you go anyway, do you know why? ”

Xiao Zishuo said seriously to Xiao Jin, and when he saw him smiling and thinking and looking at himself, he said slowly:

"Because since I was sensible, the people around me have been taking advantage of me, and no one has ever treated me sincerely.

When I grew up, there were so many people who harmed me that even my own father sent me to Qin as a hostage.

I asked Heaven why? But heaven should not be me.

I thought everyone in this world was like this, but until I met you, I knew that the word trust still exists in the world.

So I believe you in everything you do, because I feel that you are my shadow, and I can do what you can do.

I believe in you, and naturally I believe in myself. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Jin was slightly shocked, although he was a little moved by Xiao Zishuo's words, but deep down he still felt that something was wrong.

But before he could think about it, he was hugged by Xiao Zishuo's shoulders, and said in an excited voice:

"If I ascend the throne one day, I will make you my Qi State Xiangbang, do you know that the Xiangbang of my Qi State is like the three watches of your Qin State, and it is the three watches of your Qin State that has so much power, how about it?"

Xiao Jin was hugged hard by Xiao Zishuo, and he felt that he was about to breathe, he felt the excitement in Xiao Zishuo's heart, and he didn't want to interrupt his ambition, so he persevered.

When he heard Xiao Zishuo say that he wanted to make him Xiangbang, he replied with a smile: "Brother Zishuo, this is what you said, you can't regret it, when the Xiangbang of Qi State is not as weak as the crown, it will cause the world to laugh at you, and you can't regret it." ”

Hearing Xiao Jin's words, Xiao Zishuo seemed to have substituted for the future of his dreams, and he said loudly:

"My Xiangbang is the smartest man in the world, although he is not as old as the weak crown, but he is full of wisdom, no one in the world can be the right, which one is not convinced, so come forward to receive death."

After saying that, Xiao Zishuo looked at the waves of yellow water like a real monarch, and then looked at Xiao Jin, who had a frightened look, and laughed.

Xiao Geun is also as happy as Xiao Zishuo, because the hope of his own dream is also being realized step by step.

"Xiao Jin, say it, what do you want. Tell me that you will know and I will reward you when the time comes, and I know that you are a wise man, and once I ascend the throne, there are some things that you will not say. ”

Xiao Zishuo is a very smart person, he said to Xiao Jin seriously.

Xiao Jin also saw that what Xiao Zishuo said was not child's play, so he also said seriously: "I'm afraid that I can't do the position of Xiangbang, a native of Qin." ”

Speaking of this, he saw Xiao Zishuo smile, so he also smiled, and then continued:

"Brother Zishuo, let's call me a doctor."

"Good!" Xiao Zishuo didn't wait for Xiao Jin to finish speaking, so he agreed.

Xiao Jin saw that Xiao Zishuo agreed quite happily, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and saluted Xiao Zishuo: "Xiao Jin bows to Brother Xie Zishuo."

After I have been knighted, I will return to the Qin State and propose to the right man in person.

When I marry Qing'er, I also invite Brother Zishuo to deign to come and have a glass of wine......"

Xiao Jin lowered his head and emotionally told Xiao Zishuo the hope in his heart, but he didn't see it, and when he heard himself talk about Zhao Qing's childhood, Xiao Zishuo's face turned from excitement to clouds.

"Eldest son, the flag from Deputy Marshal Lian's ship said that there will be one more hour to be the Yancheng ferry, and the whole army will land in Yancheng, and I ask the eldest son to show it."

Suddenly, a shout from the messenger interrupted Xiao Jin's words, he raised his head to look at Xiao Zishuo, but saw that he nodded and said "yes" to the messenger soldier, and looked at the sesame seed in front of him.

"I'm back." Xiao Zishuo muttered to himself.

Yancheng is less than 100 miles away from Tokyo.

When the 120,000-strong army arrived at the ferry outside the city, the defenders of the city who had heard the news were frightened by the magnificent appearance and took refuge in the city.

The 120,000-strong army successively landed on the southern shore of the Yellow Water, and without the slightest rest, they bypassed Yancheng and headed for Tokyo.

During this period, his own soldiers took Xiao Zishuo's letter and quickly went to Tokyo to report.

In the afternoon of the next day, when Xiao Zishuo and the others could already see the magnificent Tokyo City, Fang Hengxin, Lian Min and others ordered to be stationed on the spot, because they had received a message from Tokyo City, asking the eldest son to enter Tokyo to mourn, but the soldiers and horses he brought were not allowed to enter the city.

The expected big battle did not happen, which made Gu Daoyuan and the others breathe a sigh of relief and understand the thoughts of the Qi people.

It seems that because of Gongzishuo's strength, Gongziyan and Mrs. Mi have given up their plan to use the army to hinder Gongzishuo.

Otherwise, the 100,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo City would not let the Qin Qi coalition army come to Tokyo unimpeded.
