On March 14, the night sky was cloudless, the moon was clear, and the sea was sparkling. From time to time, a swordfish boat rows quietly by, tearing the sparkling waves into a thin white refining.

The doors and windows of the rows of gunwales of the warship were closed, only one window was open, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy in a Confucian shirt stood in front of the window, quietly admiring the blue sea and bright moon. If this young man is in a green shirt and scarf, shaking a golden fan, strolling between the green willow and the red mansion, those who don't know him will only think that he is a son and brother who is a flower and willow, and it is difficult to imagine that he is General Dayuan Zhaoyong, the head of tens of thousands of households, and the head of Jiankang Mansion, Zhang Qi.

There was a knock and a report from the hatch: "General, Mr. Wen brought it." ”

Zhang Jue turned around, dressed up, opened the door, folded his sleeves and folded his palms, and bowed: "Student Gongduan, meet Mr." ”

There were three people standing outside the door, two guards, and one with his back reflected in the moonlight, holding his hands proudly. Under the moonlight, the figure is thin and graceful, revealing an indescribable sense of loneliness.

The man didn't move, but said lightly: "The general is the head of a mansion and is in charge of ten thousand households, so why should he be too humble?" ”

Zhang Jue smiled gently: "The student once taught Mr. Yu Zhongzhai, and the two gentlemen were both from Mr. Gu Xin's disciples. Therefore, students are true students, not self-humility. ”

The man was shocked, took a step forward, and the indoor light reflected, but he saw that this person was in his forties, his eyebrows were clear, his face was thin and haggard, and although his hair was messy, he was not handsome. Although facing the enemy general as a prisoner, his waist is straight and high, and his eyes are as calm as if he were looking at a puppet. At this moment, he was slightly moved: "Zhongzhai was also captured?" ”

"Yes, Mr. threw himself into the water twice on the south reef of Kushan Mountain, and both of them were rescued by our sergeant. Jiayan refused to surrender after many persuasions, but treated him with courtesy and ordered the students to seek advice. Zhang Jue said with half admiration and half sigh, "Mr. Bo is well-versed in the past and the present, and his mind is full of strange learning, although the students have been taught for a short time, they have benefited a lot. ”

The man only said two words: "Good! Good! Obviously, it is not to praise Zhang Jue for learning well, but to be glad for the perseverance of his old friend.

Zhang Jue didn't care, and said with a smile: "The moon is bright and the tide is flat tonight, and Mr. must be stuffy in the cabin for a long time. ”

The man flicked his sleeves, took a step back, and said loudly: "The prince of the Great Song Dynasty, Shaobao, the prince of Xinguo, and the right prime minister Wen Tianxiang, have seen General Zhaoyong of the Great Yuan. ”

Wen Tianxiang.

Zhang Jue was stunned, and suddenly understood that the Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty officially reported all the official titles in this way, which was tantamount to declaring that he had drawn a line with himself. I don't recognize any of the gentlemen or students. Sure enough, as my father said, it was a tough and hard stone. Even if he moved out his friend and Deng Guang, a waiter of the Song Rite Department, as a teacher and a son, and pulled the banner of the late Song Prime Minister Jiang Wanli (Gu Xin) as a tiger skin, it failed to make him relax his vigilance...... Hehe, the more this is the case, the more I have to give it a try to see if it is really as my father said, and I can't even get into the slightest crack.

Zhang Qi is young and old, quite a city government, his smile is undiminished, and he solemnly invites: "Prime minister, please." ”

Wen Tianxiang arched his hand and sat calmly. The two guards behind him bowed and closed the door, and pressed their swords to guard the door.

Zhang Jue toasted, Wen Tianxiang raised his drink, three saluted and three drank, and never said a word.

Zhang Jue raised his glass to the bright moon: "The dew is white tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming." In this situation, can the prime minister remember his hometown? ”

Wen Tianxiang stopped his cup and turned his head, looking at the huge full moon from afar, and came out of his mind. Just as Zhang Jue was secretly happy in his heart, he thought that he had provoked Wen Tianxiang's homesickness, and he could act cheaply next.

Zhang Qi just wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and then come up with a few more homesick sentences, but Wen Tianxiang's indifferent voice came from his ears: "The prisoner under the stairs has no intention of Fengyue." If the general wants to recite poetry, please change it to someone else. ”

Zhang Jue almost choked, and the hand that pinched the cup tightened, and the small wine glass made a clicking sound. Zhang Qi took a while to control it, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Well, if Mr. doesn't want to talk about Fengyue, then talk about state affairs." There is a newspaper and a military newspaper here, and Mr. can take a view. ”

Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned in the Yuan army, his ears were unpleasant to smell outside the prison, and he was extremely hungry for news from the outside world. Hearing this, he was not polite, he took the newspaper and the military newspaper handed by Zhang Jue, and watched them one by one, but the more he looked at it, the more sad he looked.

Di Bao focuses on the recent situation of the Yuan army pursuing the remnants of the Song army after the end of the Battle of Kushan. It is mentioned that Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi were pursued by the Yuan army all the way, losing troops and losing generals, and they were at the end of the road, and several generals died. The Yuan army is stepping up its pursuit.

The military report was submitted by the generals Liu Zili and Chen Yi, and the content was a battle report on the battle of Chen Jiachong in Dongling: "...... Yinping Mountain gathered 36 bandits, and half of them were awarded; There were 3,000 rioters, and all of them were exterminated. Jiang's son and several bandit leaders absconded. Dayuan covers the world, the four seas return to the heart, even if there is the danger of the mountains, it is difficult to hide its traces, forgive it and it is difficult to escape the net. It's ridiculous that the rats are raging, still shouting 'punish Chen Yi, welcome the prime minister', and they will be ambushed without turning their heels......"

Wen Tianxiang's hands tightened, crumpled the military newspaper into a ball, and the sleeves of his beard were windless.

Zhang Qi saw it in his eyes, the depression finally dissipated, his heart was happy, and he said with a smile: "Jiang Fenglie, I have also heard of this son, I have heard of his reputation for courage and perseverance, but unfortunately I couldn't meet him, so I only sent two generals to represent a certain meeting." His father, Mr. Dao Zhai, was loyal and brave, and his soldiers were heroic, and his family was also quite praised. The so-called tiger father has no dog son, and Jiang Fenglie can make such a move in this dilemma, which is not bad. Liu Zili's words of 'rat generation' are too much, too ......"

Zhang Qi is the real behind-the-scenes commander of Chen Jiachong's ambush.

Chen Yi is a navy with thousands of households, Liu Zili is not more than ten thousand households, and he can command him but cannot instruct him - especially Chen Yi uses himself and all his wealth as bait. With Chen Yizhi's old spicy and treacherous slickness, but such a willingly huge effort, how could Liu Zili, a mere southerner, do? Even if Liu Zili is on his own, he doesn't have the power to use his entire army - he still has a Daru Huachi (Mongolian "town guard") staring at him, how can he let a southerner general drain all the soldiers and horses?

Only Zhang Qi, the head of the Governor's Mansion whose authority is higher than that of Wanhu Mansion, has this power. To be more precise, it is the prestige of the person behind Zhang Qi - Zhang Hongfan.

Zhang Jue originally did not need to stop at Haifeng to replenish food and fresh water, but after learning that there would be a rebellion in Haifeng Yinpingshan with the purpose of rescuing Wen Tianxiang, he decided to preemptively nip the rebel army in the bud, so as to eliminate the hidden danger of sending the prime minister of the Song State to the north.

Zhang Jue first released a rumor that he would stop at Haifeng to replenish, with the heart of An Yijun (in order to do enough tricks, he did replenish supplies in Haifeng), and then secretly arranged Liu Zili to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to set up an ambush. And took advantage of the psychology of the leader of the rebel army who wanted to get rid of Chen Yi and then hurry, using Chen Yi as a bait and Song San's surrender as the internal response, and successfully lured the rebel army into the army. If it weren't for Ouyang Guanhou's timely appearance to expose Fang Yulong, the righteous army would not have escaped the doom of the annihilation of the entire army.

However, in Zhang Qi's eyes, the rebel army has been completely wiped out - only three or two big cats and small cats escaped, the Juyi rebellion was collapsed, and the rescue operation was aborted.

"Strategizing on the sea, winning a decisive victory in the mountains and forests, and destroying the ashes in a snap ......of a finger" Liu Zili's beautiful words in the military newspaper certainly have elements of patting horses, but it has to be said that they are infinitely close to the truth.

"Prime Minister, please." Zhang Qi smiled and raised his glass again.

Wen Tianxiang stood up with the cup, walked to the porthole, and raised his glass to the sea: "This cup is a tribute to the heroic souls of the heroes of Yinping Mountain." ”

Drinks rained down on the surface of the sea, all on the head of a dark shadow attached to the bottom of the ship.

"You won't be so unlucky, will you encounter a drunkard peeing?" The black shadow snorted and wiped his face, "Well, it's okay, it's a wine ......"

The moonlight is obliquely reflected, shining on the face of the black shadow, it is Zhao Lie!
