After summing it up, Le Yi decided to disguise himself as a scout and go outside the camp that night, trying to get in touch with the wandering Fangcheng cavalry.

In order to hide people's eyes, although Rong Yi was also eager to meet the former brothers, he finally decided to stay to prevent anything from happening after Le Yi left the Yan military camp.

This is not to guard against Zhao Hao, although Le Yi does not trust Zhao Hao, but it is only because Zhao Hao misses Zhao Guo.

At least on the issue of Qi Guo, Zhao Hao has never hindered Le Yi, after all, Zhao Hao has no friendship with Qi Guo.

Therefore, even if Zhao Hao learned that Le Yi sneaked out of the military camp and secretly conspired with the Wei army to calculate the Qi army, Zhao Hao would pretend not to know, what Le Yi and Rong Yi really guarded against was the Qi general Tian Touch's side - if it happened that Tian Touch sent someone over, wouldn't it be exposed?

Although this possibility is actually very small, Le Yi's character is like this, as long as he can think of a flaw, no matter how small it is, he will not turn a blind eye with a fluke mentality.

At around three o'clock that night, Le Yi quietly left the tent with a team of henchmen and guards.

These guards are all the children of the Le family from Zhongshan Kingdom, that is, Le Yi's real clansmen, and Le Yi's trust in them is like Meng Zhong's trust in Mengyi's children.

I have to say that as the commander of the Yan army, Le Yi knows the patrol deployment of his Yan army, and it is very easy to avoid those sentry posts and guards.

As for Le Yi himself, as long as he honestly pretends to be an ordinary soldier to prevent his whereabouts from being seen by Yan soldiers, so as not to leak the news.

After quietly leaving the Yan military camp, Le Yi and Le Che looked around.

Since it was the end of the month, the moon in the night sky was obscure, and even the stars could not be seen, so that it was pitch black outside the camp.

In addition, in order to hide people's eyes, Le Yi and others did not dare to hold the torch high, which made Le Che not know which direction to go at all.

But Le Yi was very calm, and he said to Le Che and the others: "Today, Menghu hinted that I went out of the camp to meet him, presumably because he was instructed by Ah Zhong, so he can't see me and won't leave." …… Look around here and around to see if there is any fire in the distance. ”

The car and the others nodded, looking for the fire as they walked.

After walking about a mile or two, they saw several fires.

Due to the distance, the light of the fires was extremely faint, like fireflies in the night.

"Where to go?" Le Che asked Le Yi.

At this time, Le Yi also frowned and thought.

He originally thought that Meng Hu and the others should only leave one firelight to facilitate him to identify the location, but he didn't expect that there were several.

After thinking for a long time, he had to lead the people towards the nearest firelight.

After walking for about three or four miles, Le Yi and the others finally came to the location of the firelight.

Fang Cai didn't look carefully, but when he looked closer at this moment, Le Yi and the others found that they were several bonfires, but strangely, there was no figure around the bonfire.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, even Le Yi was stunned.

However, at this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves under the night sky around them, and then the sound of horses' hooves came closer and closer, and it seemed to be coming straight for them.

"Da Sima." Leche's face changed slightly, and his right hand subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The rest of the guards also stood back to back, looking around nervously and solemnly.

At this moment, a thought couldn't help but come to everyone's minds: Hit the plan?

A moment later, many Fangcheng cavalry appeared around Le Yi and the others, and Le Yi glanced at it roughly, there were about thirty or forty horsemen.

"Don't act rashly."

Le Yi whispered a warning to his guards.

Although he didn't understand what Meng Hu and the others were doing, he knew very well the strength of Fangcheng's cavalry, if the other party had thoughts of being unfavorable to them, with thirty or forty cavalry on the opposite side, there were only a dozen people on his side, and no one would be spared at all.

And just when he was suspicious, a Fangcheng cavalry on the opposite side suddenly asked, "Wait, is it the patrol of the Yan Army?" ”

Because he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, Le Che stopped Le Yi, who was trying to come forward, behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, what advice do you have at your feet?" ”

Immediately, the chariot heard several cavalrymen on the opposite side whispering, saying something "It doesn't sound like Zosima", and before he could react, he saw the cavalry on the other side and asked in a low voice, "It's not you." …… Is Zosa available at? ”

"Zosima?"

Le Che and the other Le Yi's guards looked at each other, not knowing who the other party was referring to, but Le Yi understood, and at the same time learned the identity of the other party.

The few whispering Fangcheng cavalry were definitely the first batch of Fangcheng cavalry transformed by Wei Wushu, and only those first batch of cavalry would call him Zuo Sima.

Thinking of this, he pushed away the protection of the guards, stepped forward and said, "It's me." ”

Hearing this, the cavalryman drove the war horse and slowly approached, and stopped only a foot away from Le Yi while Le Yi signaled Le Che and the others to be calm.

Immediately, the cavalryman turned over and dismounted, saluted with fists, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Zosima, don't come unharmed." ”

At this time, Le Yi also saw the other party's appearance clearly, about thirty years old, with a beard, but the whole person looked powerful, and he knew that he was a fierce pawn at a glance.

Especially the momentum of the other party, the kind of momentum like a beast, Le Yi had only seen it in Wei Wushu before.

Sure enough, after chatting, Le Yi learned that the other party was indeed the first batch of Fangcheng cavalry from Wei Wushu, the absolute backbone of Fangcheng cavalry.

During this period, the strong cavalry man also told Le Yi: "Meng Sima is waiting in the distance. ”

Le Yi nodded, and at the same time realized that the Meng Sima in the other party's mouth was actually referring to Meng Hu, not Meng Zhong.

"By the way, what does that mean?"

As if thinking of something, Le Yi pointed to a few bonfires not far away.

The strong cavalry man glanced at it, and then said with a smile: "This is a tactic that our tiger riders are pondering...... A few days ago in Taoyi, the cavalry of Zhao used this trick to deceive us, they deliberately made a few bonfires at night, pretending to stay overnight, but in fact they lurked around, waiting for people to sneak attack them, our army did not notice for a while, accidentally tricked, was attacked by the cavalry of Zhao for a while, fortunately, the strength of Zhao cavalry is not as good as our army, and finally my tiger cavalry still repelled the other party...... Later, Meng Sima thought this trick was good, so he told us to try it too. ”

"Use it on my Yan Jun?" Le Yi asked with a strange expression.

The strong man hurriedly said: "Zuo Sima misunderstood, even if we catch the scouts of the Yan army, we will not harm them, at most we will temporarily detain them." ”

Hearing this, Le Yi nodded slightly, after all, when this group of cavalry just appeared, they really didn't mean to attack them, otherwise, the other party didn't need to get close at all, as long as they launched a few volleys towards the firelight in the distance, it would be enough for them to lose more than half.

Thinking about it this way, this trick is really a good trick to trap the enemy.

"Was it the cavalry of Zhao who invented this tactic?"

Le Yi glanced at the bonfires, and the evaluation of the cavalry of the Zhao State in his heart immediately raised a few notches.

Subsequently, under the leadership of this team of Fangcheng cavalry, Le Yi came to Menghu's foothold.

It was a forest with little light, and it wasn't until Le Yi approached the woods and took a look that he found that there were many trees in the depths of the forest, all surrounded by thick cloths, which effectively concealed the light of the bonfire in the ground.

"Yo, look who's coming."

Just as Le Yi was looking around, with a ridicule, a figure walked towards him.

Hearing this voice, Le Yi guessed that it was Meng Hu, and among their brothers, this guy was the least upright.

Under the stunned gaze of Le Che and others, Meng Hu walked towards Le Yi and gave the latter a hug, looking very enthusiastic, but Le Yi felt as if he had been pounced on by a bear, and said angrily: "Let go, Ah Hu, I am almost out of breath with your head." ”

Hearing this, Meng Hu let go of it in a daze, and said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't seen you for two years, how can you become so cold?" ”

Hearing this, Le Yi was about to habitually retort and sarcastically say a few words to Meng Hu, but suddenly heard a voice from behind Meng Hu: "Don't make trouble, Ah Hu." ”

"This voice ......"

Le Yi was stunned, and he didn't care about Meng Hu's brute strength making him very uncomfortable, turned his head to look at Meng Hu's back, and immediately saw that Meng Zhong walked up to him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Ah Yi." ”

Le Yi's lips moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Long time no see, Ah Zhong." ”

Since they were familiar siblings, there was no need for too much politeness, so everyone sat down around the campfire.

During this period, Le Yi asked curiously, "Ah Zhong, why are you here?" I thought you would be in Tancheng ......"

Meng Zhong said with a smile: "I know you, you never like to procrastinate in doing things, since Ah Hu and they hinted at you today, then you will definitely try to contact us tonight...... That's why I'm just waiting here. ”

On the side, Hua Hu also said smoothly: "I've been waiting for you for two hours...... Well, on the wine, the prey caught by the soldiers, we also roasted and ate a lot, the rabbit and pheasant are gone, and there is still a roe deer, the roast is almost done, you can make do with two bites. ”

"Huahu." Meng Zhong frowned and said.

Of course, Le Yi could hear that Hua Hu's words were a little dissatisfied, and as for what the reason was, he also knew it in his heart.

He explained to Meng Zhong: "I am afraid that my whereabouts will leak out, so I dare to leave the ......camp until the soldiers in the camp have rested."

"I know."

Meng Zhong nodded, and after reaching out and patting Hua Hu, he said to Le Yi: "You know, Hua Hu's character is like this, he doesn't care about things, don't care." By the way, what about the Glory Worm? ”

"He stayed in the camp to prevent anything from happening."

Le Yi explained, then turned his head to look at Hua Hu, and said, "Since I'm late, I'll punish myself with three cups, Hua Hu, so you won't blame me anymore, right?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Hu slowly showed a little smile on his face, scooped a large bowl of wine from the copper furnace on the bonfire, and handed it to Le Yi.

On the side, Leche and the others looked at each other.

They said in their hearts that this place was not far from the Qi army camp, but these people were here to barbecue meat and eat wine, and they simply didn't take the Qi army seriously.

However, they didn't know that at this moment, there were more than 3,000 cavalry from Fangcheng wandering around the Qi army camp, looking for and hunting all Qi army scouts within the scope of exploration, and the Qi army had no way of knowing the situation here.

The only information that the Qi army could get was that the scouts sent out all encountered accidents without exception, and none of them could come back.

Drinking wine and eating meat, Meng Zhong told Le Yi about the changes in the area around his city in the past two years.

Including the fact that Qin sent Sima Cuo and Bai Qi to crusade against Chu, Chu was forced to submit to Qin, and then Qin and Wei organized a coalition to launch the Battle of Wanfang, etc., Le Yi listened very carefully.

Because if he hadn't defected to Yan State at that time, he would definitely have been a member of Fangcheng's army, fighting side by side with Meng Zhong, Meng Sui, Meng Hu and others.

After talking for more than half an hour, Meng Zhong finished talking about the experience of the past two years, and then he asked Le Yi: "What about you?" How have these two years been? ”

Hearing this, Le Yi put down the wine bowl and began to speak.

“…… On that day, after Rong Yi and I defected to Yan Kingdom, we first went to visit my clansmen from the Zhongshan Le clan, and then visited Xi Xin...... Ju Xin was very surprised by the defection between me and Rong Yan, but he was also extremely polite to the two of us, hehe, as you and I guessed that day, that person was holding three important positions, and he was indeed very busy, so much so that when I opened my mouth and begged him to introduce him to King Yan on my behalf, he immediately took me to see King Yan, and took the initiative to express his willingness to step down from the position of Great Sima......"

Hearing this, Meng Hu's eyes widened in surprise: "Da Sima? Ah Yi, are you already the Great Sima of Yan Kingdom? ”

Le Yi chuckled and said, "Otherwise, why should I be in charge of tens of thousands of Yan Army?" ”

Meng Hu and Hua Hu looked at each other, and even Meng Zhong couldn't help but be a little stunned, after all, he was away from the position of the Great Sima of Wei State at the moment, but there was still a gap from Tian Wen.

In addition to sighing, Meng Zhong also congratulated him: "Congratulations, brother." ”

Le Yi smiled slightly, and then couldn't help but say a little deflated: "Actually, there is nothing to congratulate, although he has sat on the position of the Great Sima, but Yan Guo ...... You also know that since the rebellion of the son of Qi took advantage of the fire and robbery, the whole territory of Yan Kingdom was in disarray, and Ju Xin had repaired the city walls and restored the cities everywhere before, in addition to settling the displaced people and encouraging farming, it is conceivable that he had no time to train the army, so that when I took over the army of the Yan State, I was simply ......"

He shook his head, and there was a sense that the past was unbearable.

Looking at Le Yi's expression, Meng Zhong couldn't help but want to laugh, but it was inappropriate to think about it carefully, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is the army of the Yan Kingdom very weak?" ”

Le Yi thought for a while and explained: "Simply expressing strength and weakness is too general. …… The soldiers of the Yan State are actually not weak, especially when the enemy is the Qi State, I have no doubt that the soldiers of the Yan State will fight bravely to kill the enemy, the key is that the foundation of the Yan State for forging weapons and building armor is too weak, and almost all the original workshops in the country have been destroyed by the Qi army, and the craftsmen are either killed or do not know where to flee, there are soldiers, but there are not enough soldiers and armor, which is the biggest problem of the Yan State today. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong nodded and comforted: "It will always get better slowly, you look at Fang Cheng, you also know what happened two years ago, but now, Fang Cheng's army has expanded to 50,000 people, and Ye Yi has more than 100,000 people, I Guan Yan Wang is a benevolent and diligent monarch, under his governance, Yan Kingdom will inevitably prosper." ”

"Hmm." Le Yi nodded, and said with a slightly emotional expression: "King Yan...... I was indeed treated with me. Do you know? At the beginning of my defection to the Yan Kingdom, although I was recommended by Ji Xin, there were still courtiers of the Yan Kingdom who questioned my intention to defect to the Yan Kingdom, thinking that I was trying to use the power of the Yan State to contain the Qi State...... So King Yan summoned me alone and asked me if I could do this? ”

"And then? Did King Yan rebuke you? Meng Hu, who was fascinated by the hearing, couldn't help but interject.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Meng Hu.

Le Yi looked at Meng Hu and smiled, then shook his head and said, "King Yan didn't blame me, and besides, he handed over the heavy task of subverting the Qi State to me. …… Later, I heard that King Yan's close ministers also mentioned this matter, saying that I tried to use the Kingdom of Yan and King Yan to achieve the goal of weakening the Kingdom of Qi, but at that time, King Yan said, as long as I can destroy the Kingdom of Qi, don't say that I use him, even if I take his life, he will accept it with a smile......"

Meng Zhong nodded slightly.

He had no doubt about the Yan Wangzhi in Le Yi's mouth, after all, when he was in Zhao State, he had followed Lord Zhao's father to see Yan Wangzhi, and Yan Wangzhi hated Qi Guo to the bone at that time.

also hated the Qi State, Xue Gongtian Wen mainly hated the current Qi Wang's field, and the Yan Wang's position was different, he hated the King of Qi Xuan, hated the entire Qi State, after all, it was the Qi State that slaughtered countless Yan people, making his Yan Country fall into such a poor and desolate situation today.

In addition to sighing, Meng Zhong also noticed Le Yi's title to Yan Wangzhi.

Don't look at Le Yi is still a Yan King, but the tone of his title is completely different from the tone he calls King Qi and King Wei.

The reason for this is nothing more than that Yan Wangzhi trusts him incomparably, and he will inevitably feel a little guilty when he trusts Le Yi himself, after all, the close minister of Yan Wang is right, he Le Yi is indeed trying to use the power of Yan to contain and weaken Qi State, but the profit behind this matter may not be Yan Guo.

But Yan Wangzhi didn't care about this, he even told Le Yi directly that as long as Le Yi could destroy the Qi Kingdom, it didn't matter if Le Yi used him Yan Kingdom, and even Yan Wangzhi was willing to sacrifice his life for this.

can meet a monarch who trusts him so much, and it is no wonder that Le Yi's tone changed when he mentioned the position of King Yan.

Merely......

Taking a deep look at Le Yi, Meng Zhong couldn't help but have a thought.

At this time, Le Yi was still talking about his experience in the past two years with great interest, and just happened to talk about his marriage: "By the way, I got married. ”

"Huh? Are you married? ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, and Hua Hu all asked in unison.

"Hmm." With a few smiles, Le Yi explained: "After I arrived in Yan Kingdom, the elders of the clan arranged it for me, and the woman is not from a famous family, but just the daughter of a family that is quite close to my Le family...... I also wrote a letter about this. ”

"Letters? What Epistles? Meng Zhong asked puzzled.

Seeing Meng Zhong's stunned expression, Le Yi smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "It seems that Rong Yi is right, it must have been the post guard who lost my letter halfway, forget it, anyway, if I saw it in person today, I just said it in person...... After arriving in the Yan Kingdom, I wrote you two letters, the first of which was after I became the Great Sima; The second letter is to tell you that I am about to get married......"

Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, and Hua Hu looked at each other after hearing this.

During this period, Meng Hu and Hua Hu also subconsciously touched their whole bodies, and then looked at Le Yi with an embarrassed expression, obviously embarrassed because they couldn't find something suitable as a congratulatory gift for a while.

"Why don't I give you this sword as a celebration?" Meng Hu said as he licked his face.

Hearing this, Le Yi rolled his eyes: "Forget about others, I know the origin of your sword...... You gave it to me with the congratulatory gift from Ah Chung when he got married? I haven't seen you for two years, how did you become so cunning? After that, he looked at Meng Zhong and the others, and said with a chuckle: "In short, I told you about this matter, you didn't arrive to eat the wedding wine, it was your own problem, as for the congratulatory gift, one is not less, remember to tell Meng Sui, Xiang Yu, and Wuying when you go back." ”

"You guy......" Hua Hu pretended to grit his teeth, but there was a little smile in his eyes.

may seem to him that Le Yi at this time is like the Le Yi in their memory, not the obviously restrained Le Yi when they first met.

After some jokes, everyone ate wine and meat again, and around the end of the day, Le Yi estimated that the hour was almost up, so he said to Meng Zhong solemnly: "Ah Zhong, the wine and meat are almost eaten, I want to talk to you about the business." ”

With that, he glanced around a few times, meaning something.

Meng Zhong was stunned, and before he could speak, he saw Meng Hu shouting dissatisfiedly: "Hey, can't even me be here?" ”

Le Yi said mercilessly: "No, you have no mouth to hide, in case this matter leaks out, it will be too much to ......"

Seeing that Le Yi's expression was serious, not as if he was a fake, Meng Hu and Hua Hu finally avoided it for the time being, after all, they trusted Meng Zhong, unless this matter was really as big as Le Yi said, otherwise, Meng Zhong would never hide it.

After a while, the people nearby all retreated temporarily, leaving only Meng Zhong and Le Yi.

At this time, Meng Zhong took a sip of the wine bowl and asked casually, "Is it about Qi Jun?" ”

"Hmm."

Le Yi nodded and asked rhetorically, "How are you going to deal with this Qi army?" In other words, how to deal with the Qi State? ”

Of course, Meng Zhong understood the meaning of Le Yi's words, and asked, "Do you think that if the Yan army defects at this moment, will the Qi State fall because of this?" ”

Le Yi shook his head and said, "Your brother-in-law Kuang Zhang is still alive." ”

Meng Zhong frowned slightly when he heard this.

Indeed, the Qi army with Kuang Zhang's commander and without Kuang Zhang's commander are two completely different armies, the former can fight the Qin State for peace, and the latter can't even defeat the Song State's Tancheng.

Facing his righteous brother Kuang Zhang, to be honest, Meng Zhong was not sure.

Seeing that Meng Zhong was silent, Le Yi said again: "Besides, the deployment of the army of the Qi State and the location of the granary, I have not thoroughly understood it this time, and more importantly, the Qi people do not trust our Yan army now, even if my Yan army defects, you can only defeat the Qi State at most, but it is not enough to destroy the entire Qi State...... Speaking of this, he glanced at Meng Zhong and added: "The King of Yan treats me as a national soldier, I naturally want to repay him with a national soldier, unless I am sure of the destruction of the Qi country, otherwise, I will not ask the Yan army to defect." ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong raised his head to look at Le Yi and asked in surprise, "You mean, you intend to help Tian Yi retreat, so as to gain the trust of the Qi State?" ”

"Yes." Le Yi nodded truthfully.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong didn't know what to say.

You must know that Le Yi's decision to support the retreat of the Qi army under Tian Touch's command means that his Qin, Wei and Song alliances cannot avoid fighting with the Yan army.

It is not the Yan Army that has been seriously released before, but the Yan Army who will show real strength.

Including the commander of the Yan army in front of him......

Thinking of this, Meng Zhong shook his head and said helplessly: "This is what you want to say?" For this reason, Ah Hu and Meng Hu were separated? ”

"Of course not." Le Yi shook his head, and immediately said to Meng Zhong, "Do you know Su Qin? ”

"Su Qin?" Meng Zhong was slightly stunned and said, "It seems to be King Qi's guest, right?" I haven't seen him, but I've seen his brother Sudai, what's wrong? ”

Le Yi smiled faintly and said, "This person is the ...... arranged by King Yan in the Qi Kingdom."

"What?"

Meng Zhong was stunned, and his face showed a little surprise: "No wonder you want to break up Ah Hu and them, this matter is indeed very important, if the news leaks, the consequences will be unimaginable...... Did this Su Qin do anything in the Qi Kingdom? ”

Hearing this, Le Yi opened his mouth to speak, but after glancing at Meng Zhong, he suddenly showed hesitation and changed his words: "Su Qin, he is trying to find a way to separate the relationship between Qi and Zhao...... You also know that if the Zhao State turns its back on the Qi State, the Qi State will be isolated, so ......"

"I see what you mean."

Meng Zhong nodded.

Unlike him, who only wanted to weaken the Qi State, Yan Wangzhi and Le Yi really wanted to destroy the Qi State.

And this does not seem to be harmful to the Song Kingdom.

"Anything else? There is something about that Su Qin......"

"......" glanced at Meng Zhong a few times, and Le Yi shook his head slightly.

"That's all I want to say......"

He lowered his head and picked up the wine bowl, avoiding Meng Zhong's gaze.

About half an hour later, Le Yi took Le Che and the others back to his Yan army's camp.

On the way, the music car asked Le Yi in a low voice, "Did you say that?" ”

Le Yi shook his head wistfully: "I don't know how to speak." …… Do you want me to tell Ah Zhong that the reason why the Qi State tirelessly attacked the Song State was because the King of Yan instructed Su Qin to instigate it? And I, although I know about it, can't stop it? …… I think it's better not to mention this matter, after all, the original intention of King Yan and Su Qin was only to arouse the vigilance of the countries against the Qi State, not against the Song State......"

"But if you don't mention it today, you will ...... it in the future"

"I know, but ......"

Le Yi couldn't help but sigh, he glanced back at where he came from, and said bitterly: "There is no doubt that they are all my brothers, but ...... Maybe I should be glad that Yan is far away from Wei and Song, and there is no conflict, so it won't ......."

At the same time, Meng Zhong was also looking at the departing Le Yi and the others from a distance.

I don't know how long it took, Hua Hu walked up to Meng Zhong and asked, "How is it?" Ah Yi, is it still the same Ah Yi that used to be? ”

Meng Zhong let out a long breath and said with a smile, "Of course." It's just that he is now the Great Sima of Yan Kingdom, so there will be some changes. …… This is his duty as the Sima of Yan Guoda, don't think about it. ”

"Hmm." Hua Hu nodded slightly.

In fact, Meng Zhong saw Le Yi's appearance when he mentioned Su Qin.

But he believes that Le Yi will not harm him or Song Guo.
