The night was deep, and a half-moon hung in the night sky, and the moonlight was as cool as water.

Guo Shao returned to the bedroom to rest. Yang was lying on the bed, and when she heard the door ringing, she looked back, just in time to meet Guo Shao's gaze, her face flushed, and she pinned her head inside.

She said very little, after all, she had only known each other for a few days, and she was still forcibly occupied. Guo Shao was also silent, ready to sleep.

At this moment, suddenly a voice outside the door said: "General Luo came from Shouzhou overnight, saying that he had something important to report to Guo Du. ”

"Which General Luo?" Guo Shao asked.

"Luo Yanhuan." The guards outside the door said.

It's all dark this day, and Luo Yanhuan may not be easy to enter Xia Cai Town, there must be something important. Guo Shao had no choice but to say to Yang: "You wait for me, I'll come when I go." ”

Yang didn't answer, and still fell asleep on his side.

Guo Shao picked up the robe he had just peeled off and put it on, and when he opened the door, he saw Luo Yanhuan really pacing anxiously around the courtyard. This mansion is just a courtyard, and there is only one place to enter the gate.

When Luo Yanhuan saw Guo Shao coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I really have something important." Guo Shao said: "I know." ”

Luo Yanhuan said: "Today, the scout caught one of the fine works, but two of them ran away on horseback. The captured horse was shot dead by our scouts and hit by an arrow in the leg, so he was caught. After I was arrested, I ordered a beating, and then he recruited him, saying that Lu Mengjun, the general of the right guard of the Southern Tang Kingdom, had sent them to see Li Chongjin and came from Haozhou; I ordered another beating, and he really didn't know what he saw Li Chongjin...... However, the generals of the Southern Tang Kingdom have dealings with our guards Sima Budu? This is not a trivial matter, I quickly came to the lord. ”

"It's a ......bit serious," Guo Shao paced two steps and said, "You first let the soldiers arrange a room for you, rest for the night, I have something to send to you tomorrow morning, and let me think about it." Guo Shao said in a deep voice, "Don't call me the lord in the future, you and I are both generals of the forbidden army, and you are not my general." ”

Luo Yanhuan nodded.

Guo Shao turned around and pushed open the door and went in, but suddenly saw Yang standing at the door, wearing a plain white middle coat and his hair was scattered, which frightened Guo Shao if he was not careful. He was angry and said, "What are you doing standing here?" My generals and I are talking about military affairs, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Yang's face was very bad, and he asked in a daze, "Are you talking about Lu Mengjun?" ”

"It seems to be this name, General of the Right Guard of the Southern Tang Kingdom...... Do you know? Guo Shao asked, because the Yang family was originally from the Southern Tang Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, a large tear fell silently from the corner of Yang's eye. Guo Shao didn't know why.

Yang suddenly knelt on the ground and choked up: "General Guo, you can help me kill Lu Mengjun...... He's my enemy. Before this person surrendered to the Southern Tang Kingdom, he was a person from the Chu State, and when he changed the establishment of Ma Xichong, the king of Chu, he killed all the Yang family, and I was the only one left...... The ancestor of Shuzhou, the assassin of Yang Zhaoyun, and the Yang family, all of whom were slaughtered by him, Lu Mengjun was a heinous executioner with blood on both hands! ”

Guo Shao hurriedly supported her, and said comfortingly: "I heard that he arrived in Haozhou, I am going to Haozhou this time, if you win the battle, I will arrest him for you." ”

"If General Guo can help me take revenge, I will repay you as a cow and a horse." Yang cried.

Guo Shao sighed, waiting for her to cry enough. She cried for a while, and then said: "I'm not going to Tokyo anymore, I'm just waiting for Lu Meng Jun to die in Huainan!" ”

Guo Shao comforted him, then he didn't care about the Yang family, thought about it, and simply wrote a whistleblower letter, preparing to send his henchmen to Yangzhou on a fast horse early the next morning...... Make small reports. He said in his heart: Come and don't be rude, it's time for me to make a small report.

……

Li Chongjin is heading to Zhengyang, and the first part of the guard Si Long Jiejun is stationed there (the rest of Long Jie's army is in Hebei to guard against Khitan); Hantong's sailor army is also in Zhengyang.

When the group walked to the evening, they found that there was no post house nearby, so they had to set up a camp and set up tents for the night. At this time, he met the "messenger" of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and he actually knew that he was rushing back to Huaishui from Yangzhou, and maybe Yangzhou also had their fine work; The messenger was waiting for him on the way.

Li Chongjin retreated left and right, and called the messenger in for questioning. The messenger took out a wax pill, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a secret letter, and presented it to Li Chongjin.

In the letter, he proclaimed himself the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty and sent Lu Mengjun to find a way to send it to Li Chongjin. There is no concealment in the content, that is, to persuade Li Chongjin to surrender to the Southern Tang Kingdom, and the Southern Tang Emperor will reuse it, and promise to grant him high-ranking officials and glory and wealth; He also assured that the people who surrendered to the Southern Tang Kingdom were doing well, and Lu Mengjun, who contacted him Li Chongjin, was a good example.

There are also good reasons to persuade him to surrender. First of all, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde were at odds...... I don't know where the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty learned about it, Zhang Yongde once reminded in front of Chai Rong: Li Chongjin has two hearts, and he must be on guard!

Li Chongjin had also heard about this incident, but it was not made up by the Southern Tang people.

Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, still has some words, which roughly means: The lord of the Zhou Dynasty (Chai Rong) has long wanted to kill you, but because of the affection of relatives and the inability to convince the soldiers, he did not move for the time being, but sooner or later he will find a way to rectify you. I heard that the lord of the country instigated Wang Pu to force you to serve fried fish to your subordinates, and this humiliation has been transmitted to foreign countries (Southern Tang Dynasty), where does General Li's face and prestige exist? Doesn't General Li understand this joint? Come early, the mighty Southern Tang Kingdom welcomes you......

Li Chongjin was ashamed and angry, endured a bad breath, and coldly examined the visitor. Suddenly, he saw blood on his legs, so he asked, "Did you encounter something on the road?" ”

The envoy had no choice but to tell the truth: "I accidentally ran into the Zhou army ranger." ”

"Someone was caught?" Li Chongjin asked.

The envoy shook his head: "He is dead, and he doesn't know what it is, and I am the only one who knows this letter." ”

"Humph!" Li Chongjin sneered, already knew the general process, and immediately shouted, "Come on, take down the spy!" ”

"You ......" to make a big hurry.

Li Chongjin said: "Take the two of them, bring this wax pill and secret letter, and send them to Yangzhou to the official family together." ”

…… However, Chai Rong had already learned about this first, but he remained silent. When Li Chongjin sent the secret letter, Chai Rong appreciated it and sent someone to comfort and reward Li Chongjin for his loyalty.

However, Chai Rong was still very angry, and scolded in front of several important ministers: "Li Jing'er, dare to do this!" ”

Wang Pu hurriedly persuaded: "If you want to use a divisive strategy to provoke my monarchs and ministers and generals, this is too clumsy." Your Majesty is wise, how can you be fooled? ”

Wang Pu basically doesn't shoot sycophants, even if it is not easy to pat the emperor's sycophants; This is more upright than Feng Dao. Last year, Feng Dao "directly advised" the emperor not to conquer Hedong in person, and bluntly said that Chai Rong was not as good as Tang Taizong; Later, Chai Rong realized that Feng Dao was a disguised horse, and he made a very upright appearance...... Wang Pu would not say that.

Chai Rong thought about it for a while and understood what Wang Pu meant. He felt that partnering with Wang Pujunchen was really getting more and more tacit.

Chai Rong showed the secret letter to Zhang Yongde.

Zhang Yongde said: "The minister and General Li Chongjin are both generals of the Zhou army, if the generals are not in harmony, it will affect the morale of the army, and the minister's words last year were not considered." ”

So when Chai Rong, Zhang Yongde, and Zhao Kuangyin led the Inner Temple and the Iron Cavalry to leave Yangzhou, Zhang Yongde asked for an order to go to Zhengyang first.

Zhang Yongde rode into Li Chongjin's camp alone, and then entered his Chinese army tent to talk and laugh. Li Chongjin didn't show him his face this time, and the words were very harmonious, and then left Zhang Yongde to eat and drink, and they talked very happily. Zhang Yongde took the initiative to mention last year's incident, not out of personal resentment, so the two said that they would let go of their previous suspicions and start over.

However, after Li Chongjin drank high, he suddenly mentioned: "Guo Shao, the commander of the infantry military division, made meritorious service in Gaoping last year, and it seems that Zhang Jiandian said some good things for him." ”

Zhang Yongde said: "Guo Duzhi had military merits last year, but I just treated everyone equally out of fairness, and I had no personal relationship with him. Except for meeting a few times on official occasions, I have never met or spoken to him in private. ”

"I see." Li Chongjin nodded.

Zhang Yongde persuaded: "Guo Duenvoy is a subordinate of General Li, I don't think he wants to humiliate you. General Li thinks back to the situation in Yangzhou a few days ago, it is not that Guo Duzhi is bent on getting along with you; In my opinion, this little thing, just let it go, General Li don't take it to heart. ”

Li Chongjin was reminded, he really recalled it, and then Guo Shao's chewing "let's chirp" was very delicious in his ears, and the kid ate it after taking a bite, and he actually wanted to clip it a second time. Is fried fish really that delicious?

Li Chongjin's face was red and white for a while, and his words became less and less.

When Zhang Yongde left, Li Chongjin sent a message to his generals, asking which part of the scouts who were wandering the road that night. The generals didn't know, and sent people to check for a long time before they figured out: the first army on the left side of the Hujie Army.

Li Chongjin was even more vigilant in his heart. The First Army, the Second Army, and Guo Shao of the Hujie Army had been to Qin Feng, and no one could take care of them over there...... No one who has Guo Shao in it believes it.
