When Lin Yi and Zu Keyong led 2,000 people on a rapid march all the way to the camp of Zukuan in Qianxi, it was still more than half an hour before dark, more than an hour earlier than the original plan, and one night earlier than the latest arrival time for the reinforcements requested by Zukuan.

On this day, the Tartars did not attack the city, and Zu Kuan was extremely enthusiastic about Lin Yi and Zu Keyong, and personally led people to take them into the camp.

As soon as the two sides met, like old friends who had reunited after a long absence, they took Lin Yi's hand, patted Zu Keyong's shoulder, talked and laughed, and shouted loudly.

Zu Keyong and Lin Yi's respect for Zu Kuan is not inferior to Lu Xiangsheng, but the heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and Lin Yi always has a string in his heart.

Zu Kuan asked Lin Yi and them to put all the men and horses, saying that the barracks had been prepared for them.

Lin Yi pondered: "Lord Commander, we only have 5,000 people and tens of thousands of Tartars, if they surround us, what can we do?" The subordinate means, we are camped in two places into horns, I don't know what the adults want? ”

"Lord Lin is really talented, and if he is thoughtful, he will rely on Lord Lin." Zu Kuan gave Lin Yi a lot of face and promised it.

Lin Yi's generals looked at it, after only a few days of hard work, Zu Kuan seemed to have changed as a person, the more this is the case, the more he can't take it lightly.

About ten miles away from Zu Kuan's camp, Lin Yi and Zu Keyong chose a camp and set up camp. The 2,000 soldiers will be divided into two, and one part will set up tents and bury pots to cook. The other part is to dig ditches and build fortifications.

The reason why Lin Yi had to camp separately from the people and horses of Renkuan was that it was indeed out of the needs of the war, and in the face of the tens of thousands of troops of the strong enemies Azig and Amin, it was a tough battle to block them from passing here.

In addition, Lin Yi was also out of consideration for Zu Kuan, knowing that Zu Kuan had a short temperament and a despicable character. Dig into his corner and pry his face, this is what has just passed, and he will definitely not forget it. The soldiers of both sides will camp in one place, and any further friction will not be conducive to the joint confrontation of the enemy.

Zu Kuan is his superior, speaking is an order, Lin Yi can only make a suggestion at most, but he didn't expect Zu Kuan to really give face, so he agreed so quickly, Lin Yi was also very happy.

After the camp was set up, it was dark, and at this time, Zu Kuan ordered someone to invite Lin Yi and Zu Keyong to his camp for a banquet, and Lin Yi agreed without hesitation.

"Brother Lin, aren't you worried about Zu Kuan's Hongmen banquet?" Xiao Ying pouted in opposition.

Wang Jian, Zhang Hua, Erhu and others also disagreed, in case Zu Kuan played any conspiracy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lin Yi nodded, "What you said is very reasonable, it's not groundless, but the generals are not in harmony, and this battle will be lost." If Lin doesn't go, Zu Kuan and the others obviously realize that I am guarding against him, and when he camps during the day, he will be aware of it, so tonight's banquet will have to go even if it is a Hongmen banquet, even if it is a pit, he has to jump in, after Brother Zu and I left, Brother Wang Jian will be responsible for the affairs in the camp. ”

"That's too risky, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Lin Yi patted Xiaoying on the shoulder and comforted her, "If Zu Kuan really wants to deliberately cause harm, Lin Yi will definitely not let anyone slaughter them, with the skills of me and Brother Zu, I will kill them on their backs!" ”

Lin Yi decided in this way, and Xiao Ying and Wang Jian couldn't persuade them anymore, so they had to suggest that he bring more manpower and hard hands to prevent accidents.

Xiao Ying, Zhang Hua, He Tao, Er Hu, Wang Qi, Dong Sheng, Yang Fang, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Tingshou, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan, all of them are scrambling to follow.

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "The two military camps are so close, it is not appropriate to bring more people and horses, but it will make people laugh at Lin Mou for being timid and afraid of death, you just have to prepare for emergencies in the camp, but remember not to act rashly until you have to, listen to everything, Brother Wang Jian's military orders are acted, there is no movement, and nothing can be done, so as not to give the Tartars a chance to take advantage of."

In order to show the greatest sincerity and zero defense to Zu Kuan, Lin Yi and Zu Keyong went to the meeting alone without a personal soldier.

The two rode two horses, Lin Yi stepped on the steel knife, and stuffed a dagger knife into the military boots, Zu Keyong brought his big axe, and also tucked a short knife at his waist, out of the camp, Pegasus came to Zu Kuan's camp.

Xiao Ying, Wang Jian and others were at the gate of the camp, watching the two war horses disappear into the night, and they immediately returned to the camp to prepare.

2,000 men and horses do not leave the saddle, and the soldiers do not unload their blades.

To step up patrols, one is to guard against Tartar attacks on the camp, and the other is to prepare to meet Lin Yi and Zu Keyong, and sent a number of spies to inquire about the situation at any time, and if there is any trouble, take immediate action.

Wang Jian knew that there were a lot of Leng Touqing in the army, like Zhang Hua, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and others, all of whom were thorns, and only Lin Yi could stop them.

Xiao Ying seemed to have no soul and couldn't sit still anymore. She was dressed in military uniform, and she went to the camp tent for a while, and looked outside for a while, Fan Dai frowned slightly, and her mind was full of Lin Yi.

I don't know how long it took, but the night was quiet, and Xiao Ying stood alone outside to look, and the sound of Tartar's horn could be faintly heard in the distance.

Xiao Ying silently blessed and prayed in her heart, God bless Brother Lin must be safe and sound, Xiao Ying's life is hard, Xiao Ying is the only one in this world, Brother Lin is alone, God you can't be too cruel, if Brother Lin has three long and two short, Xiao Ying will never be the only child......

Xiao Ying's eyes were a little red, the stars in the sky were blurred, and the night insects were screaming louder......

The two camps are about ten miles apart, and this distance will arrive as soon as the war horses scatter flowers.

When he arrived at the gate of Zu Kuan's camp, Zu Kuan's deputy general Li Mingfu had already greeted him there with several generals.

After greeting each other for a while, Lin Yi and Zu Keyong got off the horse, someone took the horse over, and Li Mingfu accompanied Lin Yi and Zu Keyong to go inside.

Zu Kuan is the deputy commander-in-chief, and Li Mingfu is his assistant to the deputy general, that is, his general, in terms of official rank, Li Mingfu is higher than Lin Yi and Zu Keyong, but today the two of them are guests who come to the banquet, which is an official informal occasion, and it is eight hours away, so it is not so much attention to it just after being polite.

The banquet was set up in Zu Kuan's big tent, and when he arrived at the door of the big tent, Zu Kuan also took it out, and the two sides greeted each other warmly, Lin Yi and Zu Keyong untied the sword they were wearing, handed it to the guards at the door, and sat down after coming in.

Of course, Zu Kuan sat in the main seat, and the deputy general Li Mingfu sat sideways to accompany him.

Lin Yi saw that this table was very sumptuous, which could be described as a sea of wine in Roshan. Secretly, the camp will not be able to hold it immediately, and it is so richly arranged, it seems that this table is well-intentioned.

Lin Yi raised his vigilance in his heart, Lin Yi knew that wine was a good thing and a bad thing, it could be a good thing or a bad thing, and it must not be excessive.

But Lin Yi also knew clearly that since he came today, he came for a harmonious relationship, for this battle, otherwise he could find ten thousand excuses not to come.

Dafan has a little way to turn his face today, and he can't make this ancestor general unhappy, he must consider the overall strategic situation of this battle.

Lin Yi's mind remained highly clear, and at this time, Zu Kuan looked at the two and spoke: "Zu is a rough man, today's meal mainly has two meanings, one is to thank the two for risking their lives to come to the rescue, and the other is that the two commanders have been promoted to the guerrilla commanders of the governor, which is really gratifying." This meal of wine can be regarded as Zu's congratulations to the two commanders, and he has washed the dust. Without further ado, please drink this cup first. ”

"Thank you for your kindness."

Lin Yi picked up the wine and was about to drink it, Zu Keyong stood up and said first: "It's rare for an adult to be so gracious, Zu Keyong has also had the honor to serve an adult for a few days, this old love plus new joy, this first glass of wine, Zu Mou will not let go, do it first as a respect."

Zu Keyong took the glass of wine and drank it all, and then put the wine glass on the table, and he was not polite, while praising the good wine, he put the vegetables in his mouth and chewed, "Good wine, the dishes are also good......

Zu Keyong's behavior looked a little reckless, which made the scene a little embarrassing, as if he was afraid that he would not drink enough. Or it can be interpreted as that he and Lin Yi have discussed and acted.

Of course, Lin Yi knew Zu Keyong's intentions, he was afraid of the wine and food, so he drank and ate a couple, and then let others slaughter him, Zu Keyong was trying wine and food for Lin Yi.

Actually, Lin Yi really didn't let him do it.

The smile on Zu Kuan's face suddenly froze, and he secretly hated himself: "I don't know whether to live or die, I really made Lin Yi the new master, and I don't know how to die after a while!"

Li Mingfu hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "Brother Keyong is still so bold, admire, admire."

"Hehe, see you, laugh, laugh." Zu Keyong responded.

As soon as Lin Yi saw that he had to speak, he picked up his wine glass and stood up.

"Lin thank you for your kindness, Lin didn't know how to drink, but today the two adults were so gracious that they had to sacrifice their lives to accompany each other and make this drink." Lin Yi drank it all as he spoke, and the deliberately pretended liquor choked him and coughed a few times, his face was red and his neck was thick.

"Commander Lin is really a bold person, hurry up, eat vegetables and eat vegetables." At this time, Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu were really happy, and hurriedly gave in to each other, and put two delicious chopsticks between Lin Yi and put them on the plate in front of Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is also not polite, he eats with relish, the wine is good and the food is good, and it tastes so refreshing.

This is Zu Kuan speaking again, "Brother Lin, seeing that you are relatively young, Zu is two years older than you, don't you mind calling you like this?" ”

Lin Yi said with a smile: "It's Lin's honor to be called a brother and a brother with the chief soldier, why do you mind?"

"The last time there was a little unpleasantness between us, after the incident, Zu was very sad, he felt that he was too reckless, he was so old, his temper was still so violent, he was still so competitive, and he was reckless, it was difficult to become a big thing, Brother Lin would not go to his heart, today's banquet also has the intention of apologizing for Brother Lin."

"Don't dare, don't dare, the chief soldier said so, but just kill the little brother, and blame Lin Yi for being young and vigorous, but Lin Yi has long forgotten about that matter."

"Hahaha, well, well, in the future, we will all be officials under the command of the Governor, Lord Lin is young and promising, and the future is limitless, come and toast."

Li Mingfu also stood up with a cup and persuaded Zu Keyong to drink.

In this way, Zu Kuan and Li Mingfu, one cup on the left and one on the right, drank it with Lin Yi and Zu Keyong.

Lin Yi looked at it, how could he drink it like this, he would drink too much for a while, and he had to think of a way to retreat.

So, he began to talk nonsense, staggered, and after barely drinking two glasses, Lin Yi quickly pretended to be overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and fell asleep on the table......
