Yu Shan, who was dressed in military uniform, held the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist with his left hand, and when he said this, he looked particularly high-spirited, and naturally there was a domineering taste in it. To say that Yu Shan, who is only in his early forties, is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, maturity and passion coexist at this age, and Yu Shan does have a bit of strategy, so when he says this, people don't feel a little frivolous, but feel that it is taken for granted.

Compared with Yu Shan, the man in civil official clothes behind him is younger, in his thirties, but his bearing has already been a little graceful, not to mention how rare it is, at least it is not a bad one. The man's name is Yu Ruizhi, he is Yu Shan's own family, and he is also the person who Yu Shan promoted and reused, he is resourceful, and many of Yu Shan's useful policies for governing the country come from him. In the army, Yu Ruizhi mainly played the role of a military advisor.

"Although the 30,000 people of the King of Nanyue are not as elite as our army, they are also the strongest troops in his hands. But this is not the main thing, it is only a matter of time before our army conquers Panyu. Rui Zhi is now worried about whether the king of Nanyue will send people to rob our grain and grass, or cut off our back road. According to the wisdom of the king of Nanyue, although the possibility of this matter is small, my king cannot be unguarded. Yu Ruizhi calmed down.

"There should be no reinforcements, and the king of Nanyue can't feed so many troops." Yu Ruizhi analyzed the matter, and Yu Shan also restrained Fang Cai's domineering a little, and came to discuss the current problem with him carefully, "If you want to cut off my grain path, it's not that this king underestimates him, and the old man really can't do it." But it's always good to guard against one hand, and you have to pay more attention to these things. ”

Yu Ruizhi nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and changed the topic, "Calculate the day, the envoy sent by the Han Emperor should arrive in Wucheng." ”

Yu Shan waved his hand, not looking so concerned, "It's not Wei Qing who comes back this time, Yu Qiong should be able to handle it, and it's always okay to drag it out for some time." ”

"Ruizhi is not worried about this, but those people in the royal city." Yu Ruizhi said leisurely.

Yu Shan snorted a cold breath from his nostrils and said disdainfully: "Are you still worried that those people in the royal city have colluded with the envoys of the Great Han Emperor?" Don't worry, they don't have the guts for the time being! ”

"Others don't have it, but the ugly (King of Minyue) does. Now that you're not in the royal city, no one can take care of him. Yu Ruizhi pointed out.

"What can he do? A milky kid! Yu Shandao, "As long as this king breaks Panyu and flattens South Vietnam, no matter how much they toss, they are just a group of clowns who jump off the beam." ”

Yu Ruizhi smiled slightly, "What my king said is that the most important thing at the moment is to conquer Panyu as soon as possible." ”

"As long as Panyu is conquered," Yu Shan leaned on the railing of the watchtower with one hand and looked at Panyu City again, "Everything is not a problem." ”

Yu Ruizhi nodded lightly, and suddenly frowned, because he thought that if Yu Shan's words were said in reverse, it would be: If you can't conquer Panyu, there will be endless problems.

......

On the way back to the county guard's mansion, Qin Cheng suddenly thought of a very critical issue, so as soon as he returned to the mansion, he called Gongsun Ce and Dou Fei.

"Brother Dou, you're a Legalist, right?" As soon as the few people sat down, Qin Cheng asked Dou Feidao.

"Brother Qin asked what is this? What's the doubt about that? Dou Fei was puzzled.

Qin Cheng continued: "When you and Brother Dongfang were arguing about the issue of sending troops to Minyue before, I noticed that your words were permeated with the ideas of the Zongheng School, the Confucian School, and the Military School, not just the Legalist thoughts, so I asked this question. ”

"I see." Dou Fei understood and said casually: "Today's people, where can they only know the words of one family, most of them are involved in all the classics, which is not surprising. This is because if you only have the knowledge of one family, it is difficult to deal with various problems in practice. It's just that I have studied Legalism the most deeply, and I also think that Legalism is the most incisive and suitable for governing the country. ”

Hearing Dou Fei say this, Qin Cheng had a bottom in his heart, which was also inseparable from the eight or nine guesses in his heart, and continued to ask: "I don't know how much Brother Dou knows about the soldiers?" ”

"Soldiers?" Dou Fei was even more puzzled, "Compared to Brother Qin, I understand a little at most." I don't know why Brother Qin is asking this? ”

Qin Cheng did not directly answer Dou Fei's question, but said solemnly: "Don't hide it from Brother Dou, although Brother Dongfang went to Minyue, it is really unknown whether he can see Yu Shan, even if I wait here to put pressure on Yu Shan, but if Yu Shan is determined to see Brother Dongfang after conquering Panyu, it is not difficult to drag on for ten days and a half months, there is nothing we can do about it, and the current situation is very unfavorable to us." ”

Dou Fei frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Brother Qin is worried that Panyu won't last long?" ”

"Exactly." Qin Cheng said, "Yu Shan's use of troops against Nanyue this time can be said to be fully prepared, although I have never been to Nanyue, but since Yu Shan can be moved west for five or six hundred miles in less than half a month, and directly under the city of Panyu, it can be seen that the king of Nanyue does not have much chance of winning against Yu Shan this time." If Yu Shan deliberately delayed for ten days and a half months, and when he conquered Panyu, it would be troublesome. ”

"That's right." Dou Fei nodded in agreement.

"Wait, if you two want to discuss this, then you will discuss, but what are you calling me for?" Gongsun Ce interjected dissatisfiedly, "I just listened to what you said, I can't interject at all, and it's for nothing to come." ”

Qin Cheng ignored him, waved his hand to signal him to be silent, and just looked at Dou Fei. Dou Fei only pondered for a moment, then understood Qin Cheng's intentions, and asked, "Brother Qin, doesn't he want to help the king of Nanyue defend the city?" ”

"Those who know me, Brother Dou!" Qin Cheng said with a smile.

"Brother Qin wants me to help the king of Nanyue defend the city?" Dou Fei asked again, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Exactly!" Qin Cheng affirmed, "We all have official status, and it is inconvenient to be directly involved in the war between the King of Nanyue and Yu Shan at this time, and Brother Dou is still white, so it is appropriate to go." I wonder if Brother Dou is willing? I asked Brother Gongsun to accompany you, as your entourage, to protect you, and if he shows his official identity as a last resort, he can also protect your life. ”

Qin Cheng said, his eyes looked directly at Dou Fei, waiting for his answer.

"Well, you'll have to ask my opinion on this!" Seeing that Qin Cheng had arranged his own place without asking, Gongsun Ce shouted.

"You obey the arrangement, I am the biggest on this trip." Qin Cheng said indifferently.

"......" Gongsun Ce.

Dou Fei stood up and bowed to Qin Cheng, "Since General Qin can afford it, he should serve the Han Dynasty." ”

Qin Cheng understood the meaning of Dou Fei's words, since he used the official title and deliberately mentioned the Han Dynasty, he raised the matter from a private point of view to a public point of view, and after the matter was over, Qin Cheng wanted to give him credit in front of Liu Che. At this point, Dou Fei can be regarded as ending the inspection period of Qincheng and officially boarding the thief ship of Qincheng. Officialdom can't do without allies, if Dou Fei is a member, he will definitely take Qincheng's line.

Qin Cheng was overjoyed in his heart, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he couldn't hide his excitement: "Okay, Brother Dou's heart to serve the country, the sun and the moon can be learned!" ”

"Brother Gongsun, pack up and get ready to go."

While several people were talking, they didn't think about whether the king of Nanyue would accept Dou Fei's help. Because in the eyes of several people, this is clearly not a problem.

......

Zhangzhi City.

Dongfang Shuo and Yu Shan arrived at Zhangzhi with a group of guards when it was almost dusk, from Wucheng to Zhangzhi more than a thousand miles away, Dongfang Shuo and Yu Qiong and others, who threw off the brigade of horses and "galloped", still walked for four days, what is the greasy Dongfang Shuo knows, but the tiger fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and the strong dragon really couldn't suppress the head snake, and Dongfang Shuo didn't think that he could have anything to do with the tiger and the strong dragon. The relationship between himself and Yu Qiong is at most between a big dog and a small dog, a fat snake and a small snake.

After entering the city, Dongfang Shuo was led by Yu Qiong to the post house to rest, preparing to hurry again tomorrow. After a few days of tossing, Dongfang Shuo has long lost his desire to lose his temper, and he doesn't even bother to give an ugly face, and his expression is just expressionless - it takes effort to make an expression, right? Now Dongfang Shuo felt that there was no need to bother with Yu Qiong.

Although he had long expected that it would be impossible for him to come to Minyue and want to see Yu Shan as soon as possible, it was one thing to know, and it was another feeling to personally experience the snubbing and greasy behavior of Yu Qiong and others, and it was impossible for Dongfang Shuo to be indifferent as if nothing had happened.

"The waiter will rest first, and when it is dawn tomorrow, I will wait for the next step, and the lower official will retreat, and the lower official is really a little uncomfortable with his body after rushing for days, and he will be a little dizzy today." Yu Qiong arranged a place for Dongfang Shuo to live, and with a smiling face that was extremely beaten in Dongfang Shuo's eyes, she retreated.

"When the matter here is over, Lao Tzu will throw you to the Wulong River sooner or later!" Dongfang Shuo scolded and went to sleep under the covers. Sleeping in the bed in the south, sleeping on the kang in the north, Dongfang Shuo, who first arrived in Minyue, was inevitably a little unaccustomed, but fortunately, the weather is getting warmer now, and it is not so difficult to bear.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Shuo got up early, and was about to leave after cleaning up, when Yu Qiong's servant ran over and said to Dongfang Shuo: "Yu Shilang, my master suddenly fell ill last night and is now bedridden. ”

"What?!" Dongfang Shuo was so angry when he heard the words that one Buddha came out of his body and the second Buddha ascended to heaven, pushed away the servant and strode towards Yu Qiong's room.

I already knew that this guy wouldn't be in a hurry honestly, and he just had a few moths on the road, but now he started to pretend to be sick! How can Dongfang Shuo not be angry?

But when Dongfang Shuo saw Yu Qiong lying on the bed with a dying appearance, he really couldn't raise his temper, it is always common for people to get sick when they are alive, and no one stipulates that they can't get sick when they have something serious, and even if Yu Qiong pretends to be sick, Dongfang Shuo has no choice.

After staying in Yu Qiong's room for a while, Dongfang Shuo had to say two words of comfort against his will, and he was ready to go back to the room to continue staying.

Just as Dongfang Shuo was about to go out, a sergeant in military uniform hurriedly ran over, ran into the house without even calling the door, and said to Yu Qiong lying on the bed in a panic: "My lord [note], the big man has raised troops!" There are more than 20,000 land and water troops, and they have entered the Wulong River! ”

"What?!" Yu Qiong was startled, where was there still half an injury, and rushed out of the door. When everyone climbed the city wall of Zhangzhi, they really saw the Wulong River not far away, the boats on the upper floors were vertical and horizontal, the flags covered the sun, and countless sergeants dressed in Han military uniforms lined up neatly on the shore, and the soldiers pointed to Zhangzhi City from afar, and there was a sense of slaughter!
