In the eighteenth year of Emperor Zhaowu, on the third day of the seventh month, the weather was fine and there was mist on the river. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoZodiac auspicious day、Everything is appropriate。

It was an extremely ordinary day, with neither natural disasters nor **. If you open the history books hundreds of years later, there may be only one record of this day's 'Five Highnesses Envoy', which is still worth reading carefully. Expand on the incomparably refined but slightly less rich text of the historian, and the following paragraph is obtained:

Qin Yutian, who had worshiped the emperor of heaven and earth and the capital from afar, and was dressed in a black gold-painted royal dress, led a team of envoys composed of Wang Anting, a scholar of the Xianzheng Palace, and Zhou Baojun, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, accompanied by the marshal of Zhennan Bo Xian, and boarded the largest and most magnificent battleship on the river in Great Qin...... The building ship 'Marshal'.

This 'Marshal' is a five-story warship, ten zhang high, thirty zhang long, and five zhang wide, with the bow not visible to the stern, and can carry more than 3,000 soldiers, with a majestic appearance. The ship is lined with spears, tree flags, heavily guarded, and infinitely powerful. The officials were surprised to find that there were cavalry patrolling back and forth on the ship, like a water fortress. This shocked the officials who saw this kind of scene for the first time.

Under the combined pull of the sergeants on both sides of the city gate, the water gate slowly opened to the left and right. A big ship with the envoys of Daqin and the banner of the king of Daqin County, escorted by more than a dozen warships, sailed away from Jiangbei Shuicheng in turn.

Today's weather is really good, the sun is shining, there is no wind and no waves, standing on the deck of the huge building, looking at the thousands of blue waves on the river, the officials can't help but feel relaxed and happy, because of the unknown but destined to be a difficult journey, and the anxiety that breeds in the bottom of their hearts is actually much lighter.

However, in this world, there are still many things that are destined to be unsatisfactory, and just when the officials of the mission just felt that the sky was clear, a dark cloud drifted from the upper reaches of the river. Marshal Bo Xian's expression suddenly became ugly, and when Qin Lei's inquiring gaze came over, he gritted his teeth and said four words: "Southern Chu Water Army......"

That's a fleet...... Oh no, it should be the fleet! They swaggered down the river, and in a short time they burst out of the mist, clearly revealing their figures. I saw more than a hundred huge warships, and soon surrounded more than a dozen ships of the Qin State in a fan area.

The Southern Chu warships were mainly building ships, and their size was extremely large, almost every one of them was similar in size to the 'Marshal', and there were even a few seven-story ships, which were a full head taller than Qin Lei's car.

Facts have proved that the old marshal used his flagship to carry Qin Lei across the river, which was really the right idea. If it is replaced by an ordinary three-story official ship, I am afraid that after the two parties get closer, Qin Lei and the others will not be able to see the top of the other party's ship even if they tilt their necks. If the soldiers of Nanchu get seasick and vomit or something, they can directly drench them...... It is estimated that in that case, even if Qin Lei is angry, he will not be able to raise his head in front of the Southern Chu people.

Weak countries have no diplomacy. Although Great Qin claims to be the first in the world in terms of military strength, it is only on land, more precisely, on the plains. And on this great river, the sailors of the Qin State have never completely defeated the Chu State, but have been wiped out three times.

So at this moment, in this place, Great Qin is a weak country. Although Qin Lei would never admit it, it did not prevent the people of Southern Chu from thinking so.

Looking at the largest building ship opposite, there was a sailor holding a striking red flag, and he was waving some kind of flag at his ship, Qin Lei asked softly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Stop advancing," said the old marshal expressionlessly, "otherwise you will bear the consequences!" These words caused the officials to be indignant, and even more young and vigorous gritted their teeth and said: "Let's just drive straight over and see what they can do to us?" ”

Before the old marshal could speak, Qin Youde, who was accompanying him on the side, couldn't help it, rolled his eyes, and said in a rough voice to the young official who spoke: "Boy, if you have strength, you can naturally be arrogant, but if you don't have the strength and insist on being arrogant, you can only think that your life is long...... People don't care about the official uniform you wear! ”

The official's face was a little unbearable by what he said, and he couldn't help muttering: "How can we Qin people suffer such a, what are you Zhennan Army doing...... "After speaking, he consciously lost his words, and before he could change his words, he was grabbed by the collar by Qin Youde, who was like thunder, and lifted it up. I only heard the curly beard Qin Youde said viciously: "Boy, without our Zhennan Army to shelter from the wind and rain, your wife would have been arrested by Nanchu to be a camp prostitute!" ”

Qin Lei didn't seem to be silent, but when he saw Qin Youde clashing with the accompanying officials, he had no choice but to speak up: "General Qin is angry, the Chu people are looking at us, don't be laughed at by them." ”

You can not listen to other people's words, but Qin Youde didn't dare not listen to the words of the old queen mother's heir, and viciously slammed the official to the ground, turned his head and stopped talking.

The flag was repeated on the other side, and now it was inevitable to stop the ship.

Glancing at Marshal Bo Xian, who had a solemn face but was reluctant to give an order, Qin Lei knew that he couldn't give this order...... The old marshal is the commander and soul of the Zhennan Army, in a sense, he is the Zhennan Army, how can he be held back under the threat of the enemy of life and death?

Smiling at the old marshal, Qin Lei said slowly: "Stop the boat!" Bo Xian's parting face relaxed, and then he sighed ashamedly. He knew that Qin Lei was taking the shame on him.

Chu Qianjun's father is the commander of this fleet, and when he heard this, he looked at the old marshal, and nodded heavily with his uncle, Chu Po gritted his teeth and said, "Stop the boat!" ”

Under the triumphant gaze of the Southern Chu army, the huge building ship finally slowly stopped.

Seeing that the Qin ** ship did so, the Southern Chu people became even more rampant, and after a while, the soldiers holding the flag drew again, this time meaning: 'Take a small boat to step forward.' It seems that they are very dissatisfied with the Qin people coming by boat, and they must let them taste the feeling of looking up.

The noses of the Qin people here were crooked, and Wang Anting stomped his feet and said, "This ...... This is meant to humiliate us! Some young officers and soldiers shouted: "Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!" Looking at Qin Lei again, the green tendons on his forehead also jumped suddenly.

Qin Lei is indeed angry, he has already established an image of a bully in China who cannot be touched, even if he is a bully of Old Li, he must be polite to him. He couldn't remember the last time anyone dared to humiliate himself like this,

But Zhou Baojun, the secretary of Honglu Temple, arched his hand to Qin Lei with a worried face: "The prince is detailed!" This is not the central capital, you must not be emotional...... "This guy is worthy of being the leader of the diplomatic front, and he speaks at a level, and with a soft word like a dragonfly, he reminded Qin Lei that the other side is not a hundred officials in the court, and it is unlikely that he will buy your account.

Qin Lei was silent for a while when he heard this, he also knew that looking at Nan Chu's posture, it was clear that he was looking for provocation, and if he attacked rashly, he was afraid that he would bring humiliation on himself. After such a long period of court struggle, he has learned the word 'weighing'. Only then did he suppress his anger, glared at Zhou Baojun and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhou Baojun said unhurriedly: "Fight with reason," he said softly: "The people of Southern Chu have always thought that our Qin State is a wild land, and their Chu State is a civilized land. Especially when facing us, I like to show this sense of superiority the most. Do you think you can take advantage of that? ”

Qin Lei pondered along this line of thought for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Tell the other side, how can there be a reason in the world for guests to bring their own dishes and chopsticks." Since your army has come to meet you, have you forgotten to prepare a boat? How can such negligence occur in your country, which has always been hospitable? ”

Sure enough, not long after the news passed through, several small boats sailed out from behind the Chu Guolou ship and stopped in front of the 'Marshal' in a row.

Seeing that the other party put out the dishes and chopsticks, it was also time for Qin Lei's group of outsiders to enter the table. Qin Lei waved his hand, and the officials and guards of the mission went downstairs in an orderly manner and boarded Nan Chu's boat from the bottom deck. They were missions, with two thousand guards and a lot of luggage, and these boats were not enough.

After some coordination, a small team of boats was sent from the opposite side to help transport them together. This back and forth will take time, Qin Lei pointed to the back, and together with the old marshal, he slowly walked to the stern, obviously wanting to say something considerate.

Seeing that his subordinates were far away, the old marshal finally said with an apologetic face: "It's still not good for our Zhennan army, if you can overwhelm them in momentum, brother, you won't suffer such humiliation." ”

Qin Lei smiled faintly: "Since I was preparing to go south, I have made this kind of preparation. Only then did Bo Xian Saiyang notice that from the moment they met, this brother, who had always been sunny, always had a faint worry hidden between his eyebrows.

Bo Xian's face changed for a while, and he suddenly grabbed Qin Lei, pulled him to a nearby cabin, closed the door and said, "Just let a few ministers go, why do you want to go?" What if you are also detained, brother? ”

For the old marshal's emotional outpouring, Qin Lei smiled sincerely and said softly: "When is it, you still say this?" Don't worry, I'll be fine. ”

The fox stared at Qin Lei suspiciously for a long time, and the old marshal finally asked word by word: "Could it be that there is something wrong here?" Seeing that Qin Lei was about to smile and avoid the past, the hot-tempered old marshal couldn't hold back any longer, and pressed him with almost weak hands, and roared in a low voice: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was thinking over and over: 'Why do you want me to train for you?' And it's 300,000! I didn't figure it out, but I knew you must be hiding something from me! Tell me! If you still treat me as a brother! ”

Hearing this, Qin Lei's heart, which was already as solid as stone, suddenly softened, and finally nodded heavily, and said softly: "Let go of me first, your arms are about to be broken by you!" ”

The old marshal snorted and said, "It's just right to fold, I can't let you go south." But he let go of his hand.

Qin Lei rubbed his sore arm, and his face became more and more gloomy: "You have been in the south for a long time, and you don't know the changes in the capital. When the time is right, he will be wiped out of the ugliness of Shengdan, leaving him alone on the stage. ”

Bo Xian couldn't believe his ears, and when he heard the words, he lost his voice and said, "Who has such a great ability?" ”

"Your Majesty, that is, my father." Qin Lei's face didn't change much, as if he was telling a trivial matter: "From the day he ascended the throne...... Perhaps a little earlier, His Majesty began to weave this web like a spider. He has the forbearance of the world's only steps, and he has waited too long and given up too much for the day of self-supremacy, so all those who hinder him from collecting the net will be ruthlessly swept away. ”

Bo Xian rarely returned to Beijing, and he only met Emperor Zhaowu a few times, but his evaluation of that emperor was very average, and he shook his head in disbelief: "I don't look like ...... Your Majesty's personality is a little weak, can you be as powerful as you say? ”

"Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Xiang died that year, who knows the truth of his life? Qin Lei said softly: "After all, you haven't had much contact with His Majesty, and you don't know his style of acting. Saying that, he put his hands in his sleeves, and said lightly: "He is a complete conspirator, coupled with his stoic temperament and far-sightedness. Huang Fu Dan and Wen Yanbo were both heroes for a while, and they seemed to be behemoths, but they were both knocked down by him silently...... Maybe even his five older brothers. "Now, Qin Lei must be honest with the old marshal.

Qin Lei never thought that he could defeat Wen Yanbo, just like he didn't believe that Li Hun could kill the Huangfu family one-on-one. Behind the major events that have happened in Great Qin in the past twenty years, the shadow of the Ninety-Five Venerable can be vaguely found.

Bo Xian's purple face turned a little pale, and he said with difficulty: "That...... What's going on this time? ”

"Conspiracy! From the time the prince went on to make an envoy, it was a complete conspiracy. Qin Lei said categorically: "Things have gone too smoothly in the past two years, Your Majesty's stoic heart can't help but be ready to move, he is going to start the last battle, and the battlefield is this big military exercise!" Whereas...... All irrelevant personnel must be out of the field! He laughed at himself and said, "Unfortunately, the prince and I are unrelated. "Obviously, in the emperor's heart, the rice of the Chu State is better able to feed his two sons.

Bo Xian exclaimed, 'No, right? Tiger poison doesn't eat children...... said and shook his head vigorously: "Besides, you and the crown prince are the right-hand men of His Majesty, how can you abolish your martial arts when the enemy is present?" Brother, is it too worried? ”

"The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook; The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, obviously His Majesty thinks that the victory is in hand, and there is no longer a need for lackeys and good bows. Qin Lei's expression became sad, and he said softly: "The second brother has never been the ideal heir in His Majesty's heart, and the reason why he was made the crown prince is only to be used as a weapon to fight political enemies. And I'm because the edge is too strong, Your Majesty doesn't want to press the gourd to float the scoop......"

"And he's still using your people on a large scale?" Bo Xian's eyes widened and said: "Lu Yanwu, Zhuo Wenzheng, and Xu Tancheng are all your disciples!" As he spoke, he remembered something and said, "Moreover, I also made you the chief examiner of this subject!" ”

This old man is too naïve in politics, Qin Lei smiled slightly: "Don't forget, they are all officials of the imperial court, if their master is gone, who do you say they should listen to?" To whom should they be allegiated? ”

Bo Xian finally said in despair: "It seems that you have made up your mind." ”

Feeling that both of them were a little depressed, Qin Lei hurriedly collected his feelings and said with a forced smile: "But don't worry too much, when you arrive in Chu State, you will eat, drink and serve well, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than back then." "He was talking about the claustrophobic years in Eastern Qi.

The old marshal listened to the five internal desires, gritted his teeth and said: "No, I can't let you go like this." As he spoke, he took his hand and said, "It's better for us to do the opposite, with the current strength of the south, with your appeal brother, plus my Zhennan army!" The emperor may not be able to endure us, how about it? ”

Qin Lei looked at the old marshal fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "What about Daqin?" Do you want to repeat the tragedy of 18 years ago? Bo Xian's face was stunned, and he saw Qin Lei shaking his head firmly: "If it really comes to the day when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, brother, I will be arrested!" ”

The old marshal's eyes were red, filled with muddy tears. But after hearing Qin Lei's words, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will come back safely, the weak proton back then can return safely from the tiger and wolf capital, not to mention Qin Lei, who is countless times stronger!" ”

Said with a sly smile: "Don't forget, I'm not fighting alone!" ”
