Taishifu.

Cai Jing, Gao Yu, and Li Qi sat in the hall. After the end of the dynasty this morning, Cai Jing asked Li Qi to go to his mansion, and invited Gao Yu by the way. This matter came too suddenly, and Cai You's move was unexpected, it is obvious that there must be an unknown secret in it, and it must be related to Li Qi.

Cai Jing sat in the chair, took a sip of tea, glanced at Li Qi, and said straight to the point: "Li Qi, You'er recommended Yue Fei and Niu Gao to go with him, you arranged it, right?" ”

In front of Cai Jing, Li Qi didn't dare to be smart, and nodded: "Exactly." ”

"So, you already know about it?" Cai Jing asked.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "I only found out yesterday, and it was Zhao Mingcheng's wife who sent someone to send a letter to inform me. Saying that, he apologized to Gao Yu and said: "Tai Wei, I'm really sorry, the matter is urgent, I had to act in vain, I didn't inform Tai Wei, and I ask Tai Wei to forgive me." ”

Gao Yu's heart is like a mirror, and the reason why Li Qi did not consult him was not because he was afraid that he would hinder him, because he would definitely agree to Li Qi's trivial request, and that was because Li Qi knew very well that he was unwilling to get involved in this matter, and for him, he would rather not know, unless Li Qi transferred all his "craftsmen" to the front line. He said, "You still know that you can do it in vain." ”

Cai Jing frowned slightly and said, "But why are you doing this?" ”

"Master, can you allow Li Qi to say something offensive." Li Qi turned his head to look at Cai Jingdao.

Cai Jing said: "It's too much for you to offend the old man, say it." ”

Li Qi said seriously: "First of all, the largest ports in our Great Song Dynasty are all in Deng, Laizhou, in other words, whether overseas trade can be developed, these two states are very important, so for us, we must be cautious." However. The British Duke had never made any achievements in war since he became privy councillor, and he would have personally led his troops on this expedition, but, as we all know, he would not fight at all. Moreover, if there is no conscience to help, I am really afraid that it will be self-defeating and defeated, and if so, the new law will definitely be postponed. Therefore, I came to recommend Yue and Niu to the British public. ”

Cai Jing nodded and said: "The old man knows my son very well, he is arrogant, but unfortunately he has few talents in his belly, and his military talent is impossible to talk about, if he is allowed to command the army, it is indeed a very dangerous thing." But. With your grudge against Yu'er, is that all your purpose is? ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "Taishi, although I, Li Qi, am not a righteous gentleman, but I also know that I will never seek personal gain in such matters with the overall situation as the priority, and besides, with the means of the British public, I will win." The credit must be his, and the defeat must be the responsibility of Yue Fei and Niu Gao, in this case, how can I have another plan, if I have to dig deeper, Zhao Mingcheng and his wife may be a more personal reason. ”

Cai Jing ha: "You know you quite well. ”

Li Qi smiled: "No matter what." I don't know each other with the British duke, so it can be said that I know the roots, and on the contrary, he knows me very well. Otherwise, he would not have acceded to my request. ”

"Yes! Often the person who knows you best is your enemy. Cai Jing glanced at Li Qi meaningfully, and said with a straight face: "To get back to the point, how sure are you in this battle, or can Yue and Niu really be up to this important task?" ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly and said: "Although You'er has a lot of conflicts with me as a father, he has always been a member of my Cai family, and he is also the eldest son, and winning or losing this battle is also related to the reputation of my Cai family." ”

As the head of a family, his first consideration is never his own interests, but the interests of the entire family, which is true no matter what era it is. The family is like this, not to mention a country, this is also the biggest difference between Song Huizong and Tang Taizong, one thinks of himself first, and the other thinks of the country.

Li Qi said: "Taishi can rest assured, this battle will undoubtedly be won, I have great confidence in Yue Fei and Niu Gao, if Taishi doesn't believe that I, a novice with military talent comparable to the British Gong, I should also believe in Chonggong, both of them are proud disciples of Chonggong!" ”

"Haha, this is also true, the seed master Dao has praised this Yue Fei repeatedly and four times in front of the old man, which shows that he is by no means a man on paper." Cai Jing nodded reassuringly

Due to the urgency of the battle, Cai You's meritorious service, and the fact that it was a rapid march did not require too much time to prepare Niangcao, so the army was scheduled to go out two days later.

Originally, Li Qi wanted to go in person, but unfortunately it backfired, so worrying was unavoidable.

in the barracks.

The three armies were on standby, and Li Qi, as the commander of the three armies, made an inspection and said something to boost morale.

After the inspection, Li Qi summoned Yue Fei and Niu Gao to the house, and said earnestly: "You have read more books than me, and you are ten million times stronger than me in terms of fighting, in this regard, I will not be here to get an axe, as for victory or defeat, I will not say much, I just want to tell you, compared to the enemy, we can't afford to lose, I don't want to put pressure on you, but I hope you understand the facts." ”

Yue Fei said: "Bu Shuai, please rest assured, we will definitely return triumphantly." ”

"Of course, I have absolute confidence in you in this regard." Li Qi smiled and sighed, "Butβ€”there are some aspects that I am deeply concerned about. ”

Niu Gao said: "Bu Shuai is worried about the Xuanfu envoy? ”

Li Qi didn't answer directly, and said, "How much do you two know about the Xuanfu Envoy?" ”

Yue Fei and Niu Gao were both stunned, looking at each other, and after a while, Yue Fei said cautiously: "Bu Shuai, can you tell the truth?" ”

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "I like to listen to lies. ”

Yue Fei sighed and was silent.

Li Qi waited for a moment before sighing, "You are like this, how can I rest assured." The Xuanfu envoy is the commander-in-chief, you are not even willing to say two good words, it is conceivable that I am afraid that before you have encountered the enemy, you will fight yourself, I really don't know whether it is right or wrong to let you go. ”

Yue Fei said: "Bu Shuai, the last general is here to quell the rebellion, what does this slap have to do with us?" ”

Niu Gao also nodded in agreement.

Li Qi said: "Why is it okay? No matter what, networking is always inevitable. Besides, he is still your boss, if he is a tolerant and generous person, but unfortunately he is not, not only that, but he is also the best of villains, as long as you have a word that makes him unhappy, he may hold a grudge against you for the rest of his life. This will be handsome and discordant, it is a taboo for soldiers, how to win this battle? ”

Yue Fei frowned and said, "Then I don't know what Bu Shuai wants me to do?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "It's very simple, listen to your words, or don't say it, or if you want to say it, you have to say good things." ”

Niu Gao said anxiously: "Bu Shuai." If we obey his words, then this battle will not be won, and the Xuanfu envoy will not be able to fight. ”

Li Qi laughed and said, "It is precisely because of this that I let you obey his words. ”

Yue Fei and Niu Gao were confused, and looked at Li Qi suspiciously.

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "You also know that he can't fight, and he is still the kind of military idiot who can't even think of stupid moves." He has only one tactic, and that is you, that is, you have full control in this regard. If I'm not mistaken, when the army marches to Michigan, he will find all kinds of excuses to stay in Michigan and not go to Laizhou. ”

This sounds strange.

Yue Fei and Niu Gao were shocked in their hearts. Yue Fei said again: "What does that Bu Shuai mean by what he said. ”

Li Qi said: "The rest. He smiled and said, "Actually, it's also very simple. What is your Taoist Enlightenment that concerns him most now? ”

Niu Gao said: "Naturally, it is victory. ”

"Not bad. Before the war, he will only discuss the results with you, so you have to keep instilling in him the belief that he will win, don't be afraid to say it, even if you say that you can kill tens of millions of people by yourself. Or, if the battle is unfavorable, or even if you lose the first battle, you have to say that the disadvantage is good. Only in this way will he continue to trust you, and you will have the qualifications to continue fighting. All in all, one word says, win! As long as he is happy, it is easy to say. ”

Li Qi smiled slightly: "This is only before the war, and after the war, if you lose, then there is no need to say anything." If he wins, he will definitely try his best to win you over, because as a privy envoy, he has no prestige in the army, and he does not have a confidant, so he will definitely want to develop his own power in the army, and this time is also an opportunity for him. At this time, you also have to obey his words, and you must not be disobedient, because this is directly related to your future development, you must know that I can only give you the qualification to train the army, but I cannot give you the right to command the army, and if you do not have the right to command the army, then there will be no war merits to stand, and in this regard, he can give you, and what he wants to get from you is only war merits, and he will not use you to mention him for evil, and there is no conflict between the two, so it is of great benefit to you that you please him. ”

Yue and Niu frowned secretly, obviously unwilling in their hearts.

Li Qi smiled slightly: "You have to remember that serving the country loyally has nothing to do with personal principles, if you can give up the fame and fortune of one person and benefit tens of millions of people, this is a great righteousness, and you should give up your name and righteousness." If you only care about one person's fame and fortune or principles, and ignore thousands of people, even if you insist on the right, it is only a personal insistence, which can be said to be a kind of selfishness. And what can you bring to the people? To put it simply, it is to protect them, and based on this, there are times when personal principles can be put aside. Having said that, Xuanfu enables him to give you the opportunity to protect the people and the country, even if you have thousands of reasons in your hearts for reluctance, but for the sake of the people of the world, what does it matter if you say a few words against your will, as long as you can stick to the bottom line of the people, no matter what you do, you can be worthy of your heart. ”

Yue Fei and Niu Gao glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said in unison: "Bu Shuai's good words and advice, we will keep it in mind." ”

Li Qi said, "I hope so." ”

Outside the east city gate, the dust is flying, and the columns of soldiers are more majestic and solemn in the autumn wind.

Li Qi came here early to see him off, but the protagonist Cai You has not arrived for a long time.

Yue Fei was unhappy in his heart, and muttered: "This army is going on an expedition, as a commander, you should lead by example!" ”

Li Qi glanced at him and said, "Don't say anything like that." ”

Yue Fei nodded and said no more.

At this time, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the door. Li Qi raised his eyes, patted his head and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, your boss is a Taoist fan, you should really crammed last night, read some wordless books, and can have more common topics with him." ”

When he had finished speaking, he rode up to meet him.

I saw Cai You wearing a Taoist robe and a group of personal soldiers riding over on horseback, and when he saw Li Qi, he squinted at it and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "Of course I'm here to see him off." ”

Cai You snorted: "I don't believe that you will be good enough to come and see me off." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Of course not, if the British Duke is going to go far away, I'm afraid I don't even want to know, let alone see off, I'm just here to see off my soldiers." ”

It's straightforward.

Yue Fei and Niu Gao were in a cold sweat when they heard this, and they thought to themselves, this Bu Shuai asked me to please Xuanfu yesterday, but he didn't save a trace of face for the other party.

As everyone knows, if Li Qi is very attentive, it will attract Cai You's suspicion. Anyway, the grievances between the two of them are known to the world, and they don't even need to pretend.

Cai You immediately snorted angrily.

Richie quipped, "Wow! British Princess, you are really dressed in style today! It can be said that the past is shining brightly. ”

Cai You couldn't hear the irony in his voice, and hummed again: "Ordinary people." I'm going to go on this expedition, can you just stay aside, and when I see you, my heart is blocked. ”

"Hehe, I'm a mortal, and I've never thought of soaring." Li Qi smiled, and then said: "I will be exempted from seeing off the British duke, but if he returns triumphantly from the British duke, he will definitely prepare a hundred jars of good wine for the British duke to wash the dust." ”

Cai You said disdainfully: "Then you have to prepare early, I will be back soon." After that, he rode forward and smiled at Yue Fei and Niu Gao: "Yue Fei, Niu Gao." ”

"The end will be."

"You must have a grudge against Ben Shuai, but it doesn't matter, in order for the army to be able to return triumphantly one day, it is nothing for Ben Shuai to be wronged, in fact, Ben Shuai made a divination last night, if he sets off at three o'clock, this trip will be a success, so it is too late."

divination

Yue and Niu couldn't laugh when they heard it, but they didn't dare to say much, Niu Gao hugged his fists and said: "Xuanfu makes him think thoughtfully, Niu Gao admires it." ”

Li Qi nodded secretly, this bull has finally opened his mind, but my idol, alas, it seems that he will be annoyed in the future.

Cai You smiled and nodded, rode forward again, and said a few nice words in front of the eight thousand forbidden troops, in fact, these words were all learned by him from Tong Guan.

After waiting for a while, an attendant beside him stepped forward and said, "Master, the hour is almost up." ”

Cai You nodded, looked at the sky, and waved his big hand: "Let's go." ”

Yue Fei and Niu Gao hugged their fists towards Li Qi and said, "Bu Shuai, I'll wait." ”

Li Qi nodded and beckoned, "Go, go." ”

It wasn't until the army completely disappeared from view that Li Qi sighed, turned around and went back with Ma Qiao. (To be continued)
