"Your Highness, the army of the Black Kingdom is stationed in the mountains, and in terms of topography, our army does not have the upper hand." Lei Jiaojie said to Yin Shenglin.

"Where's the fire attack?"

"There are a few families nearby...... But fire attack is a good method, but according to your ...... Your Highness"

"It's winter, and once the fire is too fierce, it will be difficult to control, so you can't use this strategy." Yin Shenglin said: "This king decided to camp here, and the night darkness attacked him with a surprise attack. ”

"My subordinates will arrange it."

Yin Shenglin said to the personal bodyguard: "You take a few to explore the terrain here and the situation of the enemy army." ”

"Yes!"

"Report!" A voice came from outside the account: "The envoy of the imperial thief Liu Zhangzun has arrived." ”

"Oh, there are friends from afar, although they are far away, they will be punished. Come up, please. ”

Yin Shenglin took the bag. When I opened it, I saw seven words written on it: If you don't see gold and silver, don't open your mouth.

"King Qi, I am the master of the door, and the master of the palm has a life, and I hide the trick in my mouth. When you see gold and silver, you can get a good plan. ”

"Money obsessed with the mind." Yin Shenglin smiled: "Then what price do you Liu Zhangzun want?" ”

"Ten taels of gold."

"Dare to ask what Mr. is called?"

"The surname of the contemptible person is You, and the word is repaired."

"Someone! Take down this Mr. You for me and behead it for public display."

"Slowly, slowly! I said, I said yes. ”

"What? Don't want money again? This doesn't look like you Liu Zhangzun's actions? Yin Shenglin scoffed.

You Xiu said to Yin Shenglin: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the palm lord still left a sentence, if the King of Qi can take Jizhou, ten taels of gold can be avoided." If you can't take it, when you return to Beijing during the Spring Festival, you will ask His Royal Highness King Qi for it. ”

"I see that you want to be beheaded again, go around with me here, Lao Tzu is not rare in any gold, quickly tell me the clever plan!"

"Zhangzunyan, attacking Jizhou, the Leopard Torch Army and the Jiwang Army are equal in strength, they can't be attacked, they need to be outwitted."

"A bunch of nonsense! Let's decapitate this Mr. You. ”

You Xiu raised his hands: "Slow!" His Royal Highness the King of Qi can know that in this art of war, there is a plan: the donkey is poor. ”

"What do you think...... Is there such a plan? ”

"Huh? Am I mistaken, oh yes, this plan is actually called: Touching the Donkey in Troubled Waters! No, no, my memory...... Is it a donkey in troubled waters? Fish and donkey? Donkey water touching? What's coming ......?"

"You are from Ju (Ju, pronounced the same as 'lift', Ju is a small country affiliated to Dou State, rich in good donkey breeds, named: Ju donkey), right?" Yin Shenglin said: "Why did you come to such an unreliable doorman, beheaded." I don't even know if I'm fishing in troubled waters. ”

You Xiu suddenly understood: "Yes, yes, yes, it's fishing in troubled waters." ”

"You still need to say it! Specific! ”

"It's all about how to create a muddy water."

"How?"

"How?"

"Don't tell me you forgot again!"

"I remember! It's not that the donkey is touching the donkey in troubled waters, it's my mistake, this trick is called pumping the donkey from the bottom of the kettle! You Xiu said: "According to the Zhangzun line report, the army of King Ji will use the Tongjiang River as a waterway to transport grain, as long as His Royal Highness can go down from the southwest, send a small number of soldiers into the territory of Jizhou, intercept their grain transportation route, there is a way to defeat the army defending the city of Jizhou." ”

"The plan is good, but are you sure that's what Liu Zhangzun meant?"

"Yes...... Bar...... Should. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's or not, it's useful anyway." Yin Shenglin said: "Go and get the gold, I need military funds here, I can't give you too much, let my brother Lei Jiaojie give you ten taels from his own account." ”

At this time, Lei Jiaojie's heart was like a knife. looked at Yin Shenglin reluctantly, and had to obey the order.

"General Lei is also a first-class general, and there must always be ten taels of gold, right?" You Xiu asked.

"Yes, yes, Mr. You, come with me." Lei Jiaojie wanted to quickly call You Xiu to get the money, lest this guy raise the price again after a while.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the villain is leaving."

"Wait. I want to ask you something important. Yin Shenglin called You Xiu.

"Lord Zhangzun is in excellent health, and he will return to Beijing at the beginning of the lunar month, and I hope that His Highness will make a quick decision."

"It's not about that."

"Oh, Zhangzun and Miss Wu have a very good relationship, and Miss Wunian will also return to Beijing with Zhangzun." You Xiu said with a smile.

Yin Shenglin was a little incredulous: "Really...... No, that's not what I'm talking about. ”

"What's that? Could it be that the king of Qi has insufficient military funds and needs Liu Zhangzun to inform the king of thieves? ”

"No, I just wanted to ask you a personal question."

"Oh?"

"May I ask what kind of hatred Mr. You has with animals like donkeys?"

……

Changling Imperial City.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qi sent troops to resist the decree this time, but he disregarded the emperor's prestige." Tong Wen knelt in front of the emperor and recounted Yin Shenglin's crime of resisting the decree.

"My son, can I still kill him?" Yin Qiu said: "How many times have I told you, don't come to see me before noon." I have a good game of chess, which really hurts the elegance. ”

"The minister is guilty. But Your Majesty, King Qi is so arrogant, you can't turn a blind eye and listen to it! ”

"He doesn't always do this, you take care of it."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, if King Qi wins, it will be a great achievement. If the merits and demerits are offset, there will be no big problem. But the battlefield is like the emperor's chess game, there are variables. If the King of Qi did not win and did not punish him, then where was the royal dignity? ”

The emperor was a little impatient: "Tong Aiqing, this court matter, you and discuss with the prince, I still have to play chess, you should retreat first." ”

"Yes, the old minister retired."

The crown prince Yin Shenglong was waiting for Tong Wen outside the palace: "Prime Minister, what does Your Majesty think about this matter?" ”

"Your Majesty is playing chess, and does not want to discuss this matter with me, and will leave the right to deal with it to you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. However, I would like to remind Your Highness that if this matter is not handled well, it will not be a trivial matter to lose the royal majesty. Tong Wen said: "Even if His Royal Highness King Qi wins, he will never be allowed to continue to mess around." ”

"This matter must indeed be dealt with strictly, what the prime minister said is extremely true, and Shenglin must not be allowed to act arbitrarily and arbitrarily."

"All matters still need to be decided when King Qi returns to Beijing. His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister retired first. ”

"The prime minister walks slowly."

Tong Wen hadn't gone too far before someone came to report: "The southern war report shows that the King of Qi has captured Tonger County yesterday and crossed the Tongjiang River in the south, which is Jizhou." ”

……

"Your Highness, if we take this Tonger County, it is equivalent to cutting off a piece of meat in Jizhou!" Lei Jiaojie said.

"It's time to retire." Yin Shenglin said indifferently. The Leopard Torch Army had just experienced a big battle, and even Yin Shenglin himself was slightly injured.

"Retirement? Don't cross the Tongjiang River? ”

"That You Xiu sent by Liu Zhangzun, do you understand what he said?"

"Isn't it just cutting off the grain and then attacking Tong'er?"

Yin Shenglin sneered: "If it's really that simple, then it's not Jin Yishan's style. Mr. You has been emphasizing that Ju Donkey is intended to remind me how Ju has become a vassal state of my Dou State. In that year, King Ju also led his army south, and General Yang, the garrison of Jinzhou, pretended to leak the news and gave up Jinzhou, but as a result, he set up an ambush south of Jinzhou and north of Changling, surrounded the enemy army, and annihilated all of them. This is called inviting the king into the urn. ”

"You mean ......"

"That's right, the current situation is the same, the jealous king is deliberately throwing away Tongyi, he thinks I am belligerent and will take advantage of the victory to pursue. So as early as the north of Tongjiang and Jizhou, we set up an ambush, just waiting for us to get in. With the experience of the past, I can't afford to make the same mistake again. ”

"Then Liu Zhangzun's envoy didn't make it clear to us directly, so he had to pretend to be stupid."

Yin Shenglin said: "This is not a sell-off, Liu Zhangzun is testing me, my brother, always thinks that I am young and stupid, and wants to see if I grow up, presumably if I really go south, he will stop me." Otherwise, why didn't the gentleman named You Xiu go back for a long time? ”

"Oh, I see."

"However, we have also maximized our interests, and the situation of winning Tonger, Hei and Dou across the Dou River has become a situation of standing across the Tongjiang River, and we have won thirteen cities in a row.

"Becoming famous in a fight, and then retiring after success, Your Highness is really high."

"Take it when you see it. Don't offend the old thing Jin Yishan, but sooner or later you will offend. ”

"That'...... His Royal Highness resisted the order and sent troops, what should I do about this? ”

"My goal has been achieved, the black country has lost very badly this time, except for the jealous king and retaining a certain strength, I don't have to care about the rest. They just take my military power, and if it is a little heavier, it is just to take away the title of Prince Qi from my head, which is not a big deal. ”
