Chen Ziyi talked with that person on his knees, and he didn't sleep for three days and three nights. Like a sense of enlightenment, he found that his previous pattern was too small, and he couldn't see the situation in the world clearly, and he once despised Nanli's treason, but the two were on good terms, so it was over, thinking that it was common for the country to change, and he just needed to guard it.

Nanli, although sometimes stubborn and paranoid, is a good emperor in his heart. He trusts him as he trusts himself.

"Sir, don't you hear that the merit is high and the two tigers are fighting, he is now on an unstable foundation, and he is courteous to you, if one day this court is solid, where should Mr. be placed?"

It's not that he didn't think about such a consequence, but when the Yandu Palace was broken, it was he who knelt down to greet him, cleared the obstacles for that person, and ascended the throne smoothly. He didn't think that Nanli would cross the river and tear down the bridge, he smiled lightly, "If he lets me live in the temple, I will follow Wei Zheng's example, if he lets me live in the mountains, I will learn the Tao Qian, pick chrysanthemums in the east fence, and be leisurely." ”

"Didn't that gentleman hear that Liu Bei Tuo Gu Kong Ming Adou didn't help Zhuge to drink and hate Wuzhang Yuan, Shang Ying changed the law to Zhen Qin Gang, and the villain was jealous and hated Gongsun Ying, who was falsely accused of being divided into Xianyang? Outstanding talent is certainly a pearl, and only by holding simplicity and humility can you stand. ”

The Taoist asked one after another, Chen Ziyi was a little speechless, what he said was undoubtedly right, but he deliberately ignored it.

He responded calmly, "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the friendship of brothers, the importance of Chen should be clear, I only do the duty of the minister, without the slightest transgression, if he can't tolerate me, I will banish the mountains and forests, dashing red dust." ”

"It's good that Mr. understands, now here, I'm afraid you can't leave without permission, please go back to repair the book, and it will be fine in another month."

Chen Ziyi was puzzled, "This canal will only be completed in two or three days, why should it be delayed for a month," although he has no worries about food and clothing here, he works hard every day and is very annoying. At first glance, it was even more uncomfortable to hear that it would be a month to stay.

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if Childe listens to me, he will definitely be fine."

He didn't think so, although the Taoist priest saved him a few times, but he never believed in the life and death of people. However, for the sake of prudence, he still wrote to Emperor Chen to give him time and let him deal with the matter.

It was evening when Nanli received the letter, and the sun was about to set, he looked out the window at the afterglow, thinking that Ziyi had always been decisive. What is the purpose of such a delay?

There is also the mysterious Taoist, when did such a Taoist come out in the land of Chen, it is an interesting thing to make Ziyi look sideways.

And Chen Ziyi was following the advice of the Taoist priest to reorganize the troops and close the delayed case.

There is a thirteen-year-old case that can hardly be found. He looked for something suspicious in the old case file and went to reopen the coffin for autopsy, only to find that the woman had been buried alive to death. Just because of the loss of virginity, her mother-in-law can't tolerate her, and she is also choked.

He was touched in his heart, Chen has always attached great importance to women's loyalty, so there have been many inhumane things, and women have died without turning a blind eye. Some even drowned with children. And the people called it salvation and sent them to liberation.

A half month has passed, and Yandu sent an urgent flying pigeon to pass the book, so that Chen Ziyi went to the northern region to negotiate with the garrison of the Snow Country, and gave them the city a year ago, and now, it has intensified. However, after a while, they began to disturb the borders again, making the people's livelihood miserable.

The Taoist held a withered peach branch in his hand, "Childe has forgotten the January appointment?" ”

"I haven't forgotten, it's just that the king has an order, and the minister doesn't dare to disobey."

Chen Ziyi summoned Yunxiao outside the door, "You go and call those people over, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Yes, my lord," Yunxiao left, and after a while, he was followed by a string of officials, county orders, and master books.

"This kid is clever. His roots, do you want to go with my Taoist to cultivate immortals? He quipped.

"Don't." Yunxiao refused and didn't even look at it. He glared hostilely and did not budge.

"Just kidding, you're serious."

"It's not funny."

"You two go to quarrel, I still have something to explain."

Chen Ziyi explained all the defense affairs of this area clearly, and deliberately asked them to pay attention to the channels. Don't be harsh on the people, say a bunch of them, and those subordinates silently write them down. As for implementation, it will be a long time later.

Chen Ziyi naturally didn't know the inner monologue of this group of people, otherwise she would definitely be angry. He is in a hurry to talk about it now, so he can't say much. He suddenly felt that he could stay here, and it wasn't bad. It's just a battlefield kind of place, he really doesn't want to go.

Sending those people away, he wanted to turn off the lights, and the man said ghostly.

"If you don't listen to people, you will suffer first." He smiled bitterly, where is the king's order that he can control, if he suffers a loss, then it will be good to grow wise.

He packed his baggage. I hired a carriage and then went to the Northern Regions, only to know that it was completely like an ice nest in the Northern Regions, and it was cold to the heart. I couldn't help but wrap my crane feather tightly, but I still felt cold to the bone. The barracks is not far away, and when he gets closer, he hears the sound of hoops inside, talking around the fireplace, and it is very pleasant.

"The generals are so interested," before the others could enter, the voice came out, and the old general was embarrassed and stepped forward to clench his fists.

"You are General Ziyi, the Holy Decree has mentioned you, please come in quickly, it is Shi who is negligent."

"General Shi doesn't have to be polite." Chen Ziyi went in. swept around tepidly, and included everyone's demeanor. I have a scale in my heart. He could see that there were many people who disobeyed him.

But those people have been cunning for decades, and naturally they know that they have to do it slowly. They flattered and looked submissive.

Chen Ziyi understands the trickiness of this matter, and if he doesn't handle it properly, he can only fight each other. But where are the people of this city going, and are they wandering? He can't do it, he can't do that, he can only keep them safe, with his own life.

The Snow Country did not overwhelm the border with large troops, but constantly sent small forces to harass and plunder slaves and supplies in the border areas.

The people were overwhelmed and complained. It stands to reason that small groups of troops are easy to eliminate, but they are mobile and flexible, and they are impossible to find.

Chen Ziyi is facing this situation, and now the situation cannot be fought, only negotiated. So he wanted to make an appointment with the other party's head general to talk, but the other party avoided it, and three times in a row, he said that he was busy with military affairs, and he would talk about it next time.

The so-called "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion." Although Chen Ziyi's self-confidence has not been crushed, it has also been damaged, and the soldiers below have a worse impression of him, and many people criticize him for relying on His Majesty to ascend to the throne and have no practical learning.

He only smiled calmly back when he heard it, as if it were a polite greeting.

On the ninth day, the peace talks were answered, and the other party's main general, Wang Lang, was willing to talk. The condition is that both sides can only have one person, and no ambush is allowed, otherwise the peace talks will be abandoned.

Chen Ziyi was pleased to respond, he came to the city gate, and rode out of the city for a hundred miles before stopping, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him started. He turned his head to meet the man's gaze, and it took a few seconds to withdraw his gaze.

"General Wang, long time gone." He clenched his fists.

"You, I've seen you?" Wang Lang looked puzzled.

"The untouchables of Gu Village, do you remember?"

Wang Lang smiled heartily, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's really feng shui in turn, today you and I have become opponents, maybe it's the will of God." ”

"Yes, I miss Brother Wang very much." He missed biting so hard that he smiled with relief in an instant.

"Brother Wang, what do you think of this northern region? Recently it can be frequently tightened. ”

"Heroes of fertile soil seek together, the world is like this, and expanding the territory is the true character of heroes."

"Oh? But Brother Wang's petty fight scene is like a playful child, what do you say? As if he was telling a joke, he turned over and dismounted to see the remnants of the sun like blood.

"Tell me about the conditions? Do you have any reason for asking for a sum that appeals to my heart? ”

"Please? I, Chen Ziyi, have never asked for help, only talked about profit. ”

"If I take this place directly, won't I get more profit? Land, women, slaves, everything. Wang Lang said nonchalantly that he felt that such negotiations were a bit boring, and he still liked the pleasure of licking blood at the tip of a knife.

"Oh? Then you have miscalculated, if you attack. You are only 50,000 horses, and I lead 70,000 troops, plus there are countless city residents, who loses and who wins, if you can't protect your own land, jade burning is also a good choice. ”

Chen Ziyi calmly analyzed, he weighed the pros and cons, and the head was the way. It's just that Wang Lang doesn't believe it.

"You guys, not so united, just a plate of loose sand."

"Have you forgotten that if you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, and how can you build a tower without gathering sand?"

Chen Ziyi was surprisingly confident, he crossed his hands around his chest and looked at the horses grazing in the distance, "Why don't we race horses, if you win, I won't interfere with you, if I win, you won't be allowed to harass the Northern Regions for twenty years." ”

"Twenty years is too long, ten years, only ten years for you, but just you, you can't win me."

He got on his horse and galloped, Chen Ziyi then went hand in hand, the two were on par, Chen Ziyi turned over and attacked Wang Lang, the crossbow arrow in his hand shot an arc, Wang Lang pulled the reins in his hand, dodged lightly, and the arrow passed by. Stick it in the grass.

"I didn't expect to have two hits, but I'm not a vegetarian right away."

The Long Moon Scimitar in his hand struck, Chen Ziyi lightly clamped the horse's belly, flew up, avoided the sharp blade, and kicked Wang Lang with both feet. Wang Lang couldn't turn around, the big knife was too long to withdraw, and he was kicked firmly.

Chen Ziyi didn't love fighting, turned around and caught up with the horse that ran away, and said with a smile, "Accept it, the little brother will take the first step." ”

Wang Lang got on the horse and slapped the horse's back fiercely, and chased after him quickly, but he lost the opportunity, so even if he was only thirty seconds short of the finish line, Chen Ziyi still won.

"That's it, the eldest husband dares to lose and admit it, I will sign this armistice agreement."

"Refreshing."

Chen Ziyi returned to the front of the battle with the people and signed an agreement, but the guards of the Northern Regions were stunned, and when the people left, they asked, "General, how did you do it?" ”

"Want to learn?"

"Nature." They answered in unison, and the answer they got was no.

"You will understand later that there is a kind of negotiation called speculation."

Everyone looked confused. Chen Ziyi smiled warmly, and Yunxiao behind him returned to the camp with the attendants.
