It's easy to see Chen Lanruo, but this is the case. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Shen felt a burst of melancholy and sadness in his heart.

However, he only collected his thoughts in an instant.

As a big warlord, there are too many things on his body, and it is natural that he will not spoil big things for his own private affairs. Besides, as a straight man, since others already resent you and hate you, why bother with it.

Big husband, you can afford to take it and put it down.

After another long day, he finally returned to the feast. Li Cheng and Tao Zisi were gone, leaving only Ma Jin and a few generals still drinking with each other.

When I asked, I learned that Jian Mingxuan Jian Zhizhou was too drunk to say goodbye, and Li Tianwang sent it out.

In fact, Jian Zhizhou and the other gentlemen and Li Cheng did not speculate for more than half a sentence, and being able to attend this time was just to give face to Wang Shen, the highest military and political chief in the Jinghu area.

When Ma Jin saw Wang Shen, he shook his body and came over with a wine bowl: "Wang Junzhi, come on, let's drink again." You have made a great name this year and created a great career. However, we are not convinced, and we have to win or lose today. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already rumbled to the ground, and then there was a loud snoring sound.

After sitting down for a long time, someone said that Li Cheng was also drunk, went back to the house to rest, and asked him to come over and confess his guilt.

"Well, then, it's time for the envoy to go back." Yan Yumeng stepped forward and helped Wang Shen to go out, his hands were very cold.

After leaving Li Cheng's line, getting on the war horse, and walking for a while, Yan Yue Meng breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When will the military envoy return to the old camp?" ”

Wang Shen: "I have to discuss military affairs with Li Cheng tomorrow, and I have to meet with Jian Zhizhou and a group of local gentry the day after tomorrow, and I should be able to go back the day after tomorrow." ”

"The envoy should leave the city early tomorrow morning, no, no, no, he should leave the city immediately. Otherwise, there will be many dreams in the night. Yan said Meng Ranran.

Wang Shen: "What's the hurry, the matter hasn't been done yet?" ”

Yan said that Meng hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that someone in the city will harm the military envoy." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Shen asked in surprise.

"Li Cheng has ill intentions towards the military envoys." Yan Yuemeng's face turned a little pale: "Military envoy, you were respectful before, and your subordinates couldn't rest assured, so you also followed." But I couldn't see you as soon as I went out, so I walked around Li Cheng's line for a long time, but I accidentally got into Li Cheng's bedroom. At that time, there was only one subordinate in the room, and his subordinates chatted with him for a few words, but found clues. ”

"What's the clue?"

Yan said that Meng Tie blushed: "My subordinates saw that Li Cheng's case had an Anlu map on it, the military envoy, he stayed in Dingzhou well, what do you look at with our Anlu map?" ”

Wang Shen: "On the long-eyed family, no one else can care about the map of the place he wants to see, and besides, a mere map does not mean that Li Cheng wants to plot against a certain plot." ”

"Military envoy, the map clearly indicates the strength of our Sizhou army stationed in various cities and roads and passes in Jianghan, as well as the flag of the unit and the name of the commander of the army. You say, he, Li Chengyuan, is in Hunan, how can he be so clear about Jianghan's affairs? Yan said Meng Dao: "It must be Li Cheng's internal response after Anlu's side, we are friendly troops, why did he send so many fine works to lurk in the past, he must covet the place where Jiang Han is plastered." That's right......"

He sneered in a low voice: "Li Cheng is now exhausted, and Hunan alone can't support him so many people, if he wants to survive, he can only go north, military envoy, this person's wolf ambition is already obvious." ”

Wang Shen touched his nose with his hand, and he couldn't see any expression on his face.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Yumeng said again: "Military envoy, didn't Du Xiang let you kill Li Cheng?" Li Cheng slaughtered the people after coming to Dingzhou, and the people were extremely angry. ”

Wang Shen said lightly: "Li Boyou and I are friends who are irreversible, and a certain person will definitely not do such a thing, Du Xiang is there, and a certain person will explain it to him." If the Mani thief has not been eliminated, how can we have infighting, it is ridiculous. ”

The so-called irreversible friendship is to say, in the face of interests, the so-called private friendship is nothing. He and Li Chengdu have to support so many people under them, and their individual will has already been kidnapped by the collective.

However, now that the enemy is present, it is better to unite as one to destroy Zhong Xiang first. Otherwise, both of them will be trapped in the damn place of Dongting Lake, and no one will be able to leave.

Seeing Wang Shen say such a thing, Yan Yumeng naturally didn't believe it, so he had to say: "Military envoy, no matter what, it's better to leave this Dingzhou City first." If you really want to stay in this city, it is better to temporarily set up the line in the state office of Jian Zhizhou. When Li Cheng ransacked Dingzhou, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Lord Jian. "Yes, if there is a good thing in the governor of a state, it is a terrible political event.

Wang Shen nodded: "But, go to the state office." ”

********************************************

At this moment, in Li Cheng's bedroom, Tao Zisi and him were sitting and talking together.

Unlike the drunken eyes in the hall before, Li Cheng's eyes at this time were full of fine light.

Tao Zisi's face was full of anger: "What a person surnamed Wang, he was so majestic and murderous when he spoke before, and he was powerful in front of the Heavenly King, and he didn't want to think about his background." I think when I was in Jianghuai, this guy was like a dog in front of the king. It's just good luck, climbing the high branch of Du Chong, and they are about to be a husband. ”

Li Cheng grinned: "He really has the majesty of commanding thousands of troops, Zisi, don't underestimate him." Today's Wang Daosi is no longer the little friend we know, as soon as he came, he showed his majesty, but then he was full of humility, regardless of his identity and the soldiers in the army. The body shelf can stand up and put down, and it is really not easy to deal with. ”

Tao Zisi heard the meaning of Li Cheng's words, and was surprised: "The king of heaven also knows that this guy didn't have a good heart when he came to Hunan?" ”

Li Cheng didn't say anything: "Don't break the contact with Li Heng and Li Xianggong, he should have an arrangement, we don't need to think about it, everything will be calmed down after the demon thief." ”

Tao Zisi said angrily: "Pacify the demon thief, pacify the demon thief, when will you be able to get out of this quagmire?" ”

Li Cheng: "Don't worry, didn't Wang Shen say that he would soon be able to find out Zhong Xiang's lair, maybe our old friend will really give us a surprise." Zisi, don't look for trouble until the big thing is decided. Wang Shen came from afar, I don't know the geography, if there is something, you try your best to cooperate, go down! ”

"Yes, Heavenly King."

When Tao Zisi retreated, Li Cheng silently looked at the sky outside, his expression was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

*******************************************

Sixty miles outside of Dingzhou, this is already the edge of the Dongting Lake area.

The scenery has changed again, the crisscrossing rivers and dotted lakes are no longer visible, and the rolling hills are everywhere, and the blue limestone cliffs reflect the clear water of the river.

Lush forests and bamboos, red maples on the road, flocks of flying water birds, and a row of fireworks that do not eat the world, let people be in the prosperous world of the balance in a trance. The bloody rain and bloody wind in the Dongting Lake area are like a nightmare.

On the ridges of the paddy fields that had already been harvested, there were about 20 people walking in a row. The group were tall men, all dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a bamboo hat on their heads. The straw sandals made of straw underfoot have worn out, revealing black toes.

Looking at their dress, they look like refugees. However, unlike the people who bring their families and mouths, these people walk with a whirring wind, and they naturally have a murderous aura on their bodies, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.

"General Niu, look at this river, this is our second largest river in Hunan, Yuanshui, and further east is the Xiangjiang River. This area is all mountainous, the people are poor, and there are not many soldiers. Therefore, the anointing land of Hunan is in the Dingzhou Lake area and the Xiangjiang River basin in Tanzhou. ”

"Master Weizhuang, don't call me General Niu, when we came out, we already said it, I was your subordinate from the beginning, and I was listened to carefully by the demon thieves, and it was a big matter for the military envoy." A fat man reminded in a whisper.

Master Weizhuang: "Yes, yes, I forgot, General Niu forgives me." He continued: "Dongting Lake is now uninhabited for thousands of miles, and the Manichaeans see that there are so many mouths open to eat, and they have lost one after another on the battlefield for a while, so they can't stay in Dingzhou any longer. If I'm not mistaken, they should have withdrawn to Taoyuan. ”

That's right, this Wei Zhuang owner is Wei Hui, and General Niu is naturally Niu Gao.

Three days ago, they received a secret order from Wang Shen, saying that they had discovered Yang Mi's traces, and ordered them to immediately take people to pretend to be lost Manichaeans to find Yang Tai, waiting for an opportunity to infiltrate the demon thief team and find out Zhong Xiang's whereabouts.

Wei Hui: "Taoyuan Mountain is high and dense, although it is not suitable for the army to be stationed, but because of the dangerous terrain, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is possible to escape here to get a moment of respite." ”

Niu Gao: "But it's also, by the way, Wei Zhuangzi, is this Taoyuan County the Taoyuan mentioned in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring"? ”

Wei Hui glanced at Niu Gao in surprise: "Niu Jiang...... Lao Niu, do you also know Tao Yuanming? ”

Niu Gao laughed: "I've read it before." In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the fallen flowers are colorful. The fisherman is very different. Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest. When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. ”

Wei Hui originally thought that Niu Gao was just a rude military man, but he didn't want to read a book, and his perception of him suddenly changed: "Old Niu, you are very knowledgeable!" "Thinking about it again, yes, I heard that Niu Gao used to be a big man in Henan, and he also hung up an official position as a regimental training envoy, and he can be regarded as a gentleman, and he is naturally an elegant person who has read books.

It's just that this person is too ugly, and he is dressed as an ordinary person at the moment, and he is no different from a farmer in the field.

Niu Gao: "If the topography of Taoyuan is as written in the book, it is a good place to hide soldiers, I know that everyone has been on the road for three days, and their hearts are already impatient. Don't be anxious, if you go on for a while, you may have a harvest. ”

Wei Hui: "Yes, I can't come in a hurry." As he spoke, he took out a pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew a red flame on the bamboo on the side of the road. This is the secret code for Manichaean followers, and if a thief passes by, he will naturally catch up and find out.

"I hope Mrs. Yang is here." Wei Hui thought in his heart: "Otherwise, it is not a way to go on like this." ”

After walking for a while, Niu Gao couldn't help but say: "Master Weizhuang, I saw that you were also an elegant person before. ”

Wei Hui: "I used to be a scholar, and I was cold for ten years, but unfortunately I failed to get famous. ”

Niu Gao asked curiously: "As far as I know, the demon thieves burn the official mansions, cities, temples, temples and Haoyou's houses everywhere they go, and kill officials, Confucian scholars, monks, witch doctors, and divination. You, a scholar, are an evil demon to them, how can you still save a life and hold an official position in the pseudo-imperial court? ”
