Before Chen An could answer, a little servant came to report and said, "Your Excellency, Li Hai and Li He ask to meet." ”

After listening to the little girl's words, Chen An and Wu Qing glanced at each other, and they both looked happy, but this joy only stayed on their faces for a moment before disappearing, and the faces of the two became solemn.

Chen An said to the little guy, "Let them in." ”

"Yes." The little guy went away.

Chen An and Wu Qing sat down together, and after a while, the second Li Hai and the third Li He came in, and immediately knelt down for Chen An and Wu Qing, and said, "See the Prime Minister, the Minister." ”

"Get up!" Chen An said.

"Master Xie." The brothers got up together.

"Why are you two left?" Chen An asked with a frown.

The second eldest Li Hai and the third Li He glanced at each other, and the third Li He said, "Back to the two adults, my eldest brother is now in the north of Qinshan. ”

"To the north of Qinshan?" Wu Qing asked in surprise.

The third Li He said: "Yes, my lord. ”

Chen An said with some excitement: "That means that your three brothers have found a way to cross Qinshan?" ”

"Yes, sir." The third Li He said.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Chen An and Wu Qing couldn't help but glance at each other again. Then they laughed.

Wu Qing said with a smile: "Your Excellency, it's done at this time!" ”

Chen An nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Lord Wu, now we can be regarded as having an explanation to Your Majesty." ”

Wu Qing then said to the second brother Li Hai and the third brother Li He: "You three brothers have made a great contribution this time. When the Prime Minister and I get to know Your Majesty, we will make a reward. ”

"Thank you, sir." The two brothers arched their hands together.

Chen An said: "Okay, now let's talk about how you found the way over Qinshan!" ”

"Yes, sir." The third Li He arched his hand and said.

Wu Qing said: "Prime Minister, seeing that the two of them are sweating profusely, they must be hurrying up, so it's better to let the two of them sit down and drink hot tea." ”

Chen An nodded and said, "Well, what Lord Wu said is extremely true. Come and give tea to the seat. ”

"Thank you, both of you." The brothers arched their hands at the same time.

After sitting down, taking a sip of tea, and taking a breath, the third Li He explained in detail the difficult journey to find the road over Qinshan Mountain. When Chen An and Wu Qing heard that the old village chief had fallen off the cliff, they were all embarrassed.

Finally, after hearing that the three brothers recognized a lonely old couple as their parents, Chen An couldn't help but praise and said: "You three brothers can be so kind again, which makes the old man admire!" ”

The two brothers said together: "The villain doesn't dare. ”

"Okay, in order to find this road over the mountain, you three brothers can be regarded as walking through the ghost gate. But you are fortunate enough to have completed the difficult task given to you by the imperial court. Go down and rest first. Lord Wu and I will attack and report to Your Majesty. Chen An said.

"Yes, my lord."

The second Li Hai and the third Li He got up at the same time and replied.

Wu Qing called the little servant and said, "Take the two of them down to rest, and make them a delicious meal first." ”

The little guy agreed to come down and took the second Li Hai and the third Li He.

At this time, Chen An said eagerly: "Lord Wu, let's attack and meet Your Majesty now!" ”

"Let's go." Wu Qing also seemed to be a little impatient.

After speaking, the two entered the palace hand in hand.

Liu Yong was reading a book in the Qingxin Palace, and Chen Xiaochun reported and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Chen and Lord Wu ask to see each other. ”

"Let them in." Liu Yong said while reading the book.

"Your Majesty." Chen Xiaochun bowed and left.

Chen An and Wu Qing followed Chen Xiaochun in, and knelt under the case together and said in unison: "Weichen see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

"Get up!" Liu Yong continued to read the book and said casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them stood on either side.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yong still asked while looking at the book. It seems that one of his hearts can do two things.

Chen An arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty, two of the three brothers sent to Qinshan by the minister are back. ”

"Oh? Is it? Liu Yong said lightly and turned a page of the book.

Chen An looked at Wu Qing opposite, and both of them were surprised. Because Liu Yong's reaction was greatly unexpected by them. But Liu Yong didn't ask, and Chen An couldn't continue.

Liu Yong was still reading the book seriously, as if he had been immersed in the book.

Chen An and Wu Qing glanced at each other again, and then both looked at Liu Yong.

I saw Liu Yong looking at it, suddenly laughed, and then looked at another page, then put down the book, looked at Chen An and Wu Qing, and asked with a faint smile: "Have they found a way over Qinshan?" ”

Chen An hurriedly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Liu Yong smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I guessed it a long time ago." These three brothers did a good job, why did they come back two? ”

Chen An said: "Your Majesty, the eldest Li Shan has stayed with his parents who were recognized by the three brothers in the north of Qinshan. ”

"Oh? Hehe, it seems that these three brothers have gained a lot from this trip. Then call the two brothers at once, and I will question them myself. Liu Yong said with a smile.

Chen An arched his hand and said, "It's Your Majesty." Then he said to Chen Xiaochun: "It's troublesome for my father-in-law." At this time, the two brothers were in the yamen of the military department. ”

"Don't bother Lord Chen, I'll just call a little slave." Chen Xiaochun said with a smile, and then bowed to Liu Yongshen and went.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "You two sit down, now you can think about how you can use this huge advantage." ”

"Your Majesty."

Chen An and Wu Qing agreed to come down together, and then sat down on the chairs.

Wu Qing said: "Your Majesty, tactics have been worked out in the minister's yamen. ”

"Tell me about it." Liu Yong said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The tactics formulated by the ministers were to cross the Qinshan Mountains with 100,000 people, and then divide the troops into two routes, one to recover Pingliangfu north of the Qinshan Mountains, and the other to go south around the mountains to attack the eastern foothills of Qinshan and the important town of Gyeongju north of the Tianjiang River. As long as Gyeongju is defeated, then our Han army will have a passage into Jiangbei. It would be impossible for the Tatar slaves to take Tianjiang as a risk. Wu Qing said.

Liu Yong listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "This time you and I have thought together." Just do that, remember, the attack on Gyeongju is the most important. This is our critical passage. As long as Gyeongju is occupied, it is equivalent to driving a wedge under the feet of the Tatars. They're going to be very uncomfortable. As for the distribution of troops, in this way, 30,000 people will attack Pingliang Land, and 70,000 people will attack Gyeongju. As for the place across the river from Gyeongju, 100,000 troops and horses must be prepared, and as long as Gyeongju is defeated, they will immediately cross the river to defend themselves without deployment, and completely take Gyeongju into their pockets. ”
