Huangfu Jixun was helpless, and at the same time he lowered his head and looked at Zhao Dezhao with a trace of poison in his eyes.

Zhao Dezhao and the others came out of Huangfu Shaojie's room, and at this moment they heard the scholar in green shirt shouting behind him. Zhao Dezhao looked back, he didn't know what this scholar in green shirt was going to say, but he already vaguely knew his identity in his heart.

"King Wei Chitose?" The scholar in the green shirt bowed and said.

"What's the matter with Brother Tai?" Zhao Dezhao looked at this scholar and asked deliberately.

"Chitose, it's not appropriate to say much here, why don't you go to the tea shop?" The scholar in the green shirt raised his injured right hand and made a gesture of please.

"That's good!"

The scholar in the green shirt opened the way in front, Zhao Dezhao and Xiao Guizi and other five people followed, and the six people walked along the streets of the Qinhuai River after leaving the Huangfu Jixun's mansion.

When I arrived at Zhongshan Tea Shop, the tea shop next to the street was opened in the west of the Qinhuai River, and there were not a few people who drank tea and drank in the tea shop every day, most of them were some scholars, according to the scholar in the green shirt, he used to come back here often to drink tea.

"Chitose, please go this way!"

On the left and right of the street, pedestrians walked.

"Brother, when you're out of the house, don't call me this title, make something else."

The scholar in the green shirt bowed down again and said: "Gongzi [the son of the prince, used by people with high status, is not popular, and the title of ordinary scholars began to be popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties]!" ”

The two of them found a place near the river, which was secluded and relatively few people, and on the river bank outside the window, some painting boats were docked by the river, and it seemed that there was no one during the day. Zhao Dezhao had already sat down, while the scholar in the green shirt stood respectfully opposite, waiting for Zhao Dezhao to speak.

Zhao Dezhao saw that the right hand of the scholar in the green shirt was still wrapped in gauze, so he said: "Brother Tai has an injury, so there is no need to give such a big gift, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you for your concern!"

"Brother Tai has something to say directly."

"Childe, this ......" The scholar in the green shirt looked up at the little nobleman beside Zhao Dezhao and the three guards.

"Little nobleman, you are waiting outside the tea shop now, and I will come out after talking to this brother." After speaking, he let Xiao Guizi and the three guards out of the tea shop.

The scholar in the green shirt began to speak, and Zhao Dezhao was also listening. This green-shirted scholar is named Fan Ruoshui, since Shuqing, Zhao Dezhao was not surprised when he heard this, because he had already guessed that if he was excited in his heart, he was just pretending to be calm and patient at the moment.

What Fan Shuqing said is absolutely true, because he offended Huangfu Jixun, he was beaten like this by Huangfu Shaojie, if it wasn't for a kind person to save him, I'm afraid he would have died at the mouth of Wuyi Alley, and he has been recuperating in the house of the life-saving benefactor for the past few months, during which he went to inquire about some news in Jinling City. I met Zhao Dezhao at the gate of Huangfu Jixun's Mansion today, if there was no Wei King Chitose of the Song Kingdom, I am afraid that he would have been swept away by the barbaric evil slaves in the Huangfu Mansion, and he would not have received some compensation and apology.

Now that Fan Ruoshui has completely offended Huangfu Jixun, he will not have a good future in the Tang Kingdom in the future. Looking at Huangfu Jixun, his father Huangfu Hui died, and Huangfu Jixun was promoted to the commander of the Shenwei Army, he was young and had no military achievements, but relying on his father's prestige, he became a general. Huangfu Jixun is greedy for pleasure, the famous garden is the first in Jinling, and there are many prostitutes, so no matter what, such a person will not be conducive to the development of a country if he becomes a generation of unified army generals.

At this time, Fan Ruoshui was completely dead to the Tang Kingdom, decadent and sad for a few months, thinking that either the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha would have his last life, or he would have a good time. For Fan Ruoshui, there is no hope for the Tang Kingdom at the moment, but the world is so big that it is not just a Tang Kingdom. Now the Great Song Dynasty has wiped out several countries and swept the wave of unification of the world, and the Tang Kingdom is just the next goal, and the Great Song Dynasty must have a place to let themselves rise to the top and show their ambitions.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, five dynasties and ten kingdoms, how chaotic the world is, the emperors take turns, dynasties change, the rise and fall of the country is very frequent, and officials often serve as officials in several dynasties in a row, such as the tumbler Feng Dao, the concept of patriotism is not strong. Even if he is an upright scholar from Confucianism, he does not necessarily need to be loyal to his country, especially in such a gloomy country, where the mediocre monarch and the minister are in power, Fan Ruoshui shouted in his heart, for his own ambitions...... The only way out is to go north.

The Great Song Dynasty is the orthodox country of the Central Plains, the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin is a generation of heroes and heroes, and a generation of good emperors, and the son of the Song Emperor Zhao Dezhao is young, both civil and military, and has a benevolent heart, Fan Ruoshui is deeply impressed by it, and now Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, is upset with a little scholar for him, he is very grateful to this good prince in his heart, and at the same time in order to thank the prince for his grace, he intends to express his heartfelt words to Zhao Dezhao today.

Fan Ruoshui chatted with Zhao Dezhao for a long time, and at this moment, he suddenly said: "Does the son have the ambition to dominate the world?" ”

Zhao Dezhao smiled, and did not shy away from it, but said directly: "The general trend of the world, it will be united for a long time, since the rebellion of the late Tang Dynasty, the world has been divided so far, and this will naturally be unified in the future." ”

Fan Ruoshui said bluntly: "For the sake of reporting the son, I want to send a big gift to the honorable driver, to the Great Song Dynasty!" I don't know Childe? ”

"Oh? What is the gift? Zhao Dezhao speculated, maybe it was.

Fan Ruoshui's expression suddenly became a lot more solemn, he looked up and looked around, and saw that there were no pedestrians around, so he leaned over and said in a low voice: "Before that, please ask Gongzi a question first." ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"Is Childe's trip just to explore the movements of the Tang Kingdom and prepare for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible?"

"Huh!" Zhao Dezhao didn't answer positively, but said with a smile, "Could it be that Brother Tai wants to offer a strategy to level the world?" ”

Fan Ruoshui leaned over, pretended to pour tea, and while pouring tea for Zhao Dezhao, he whispered over and over again: "The little talent is shallow, how can he talk about leveling the world, but he can contribute to pacifying Jiangnan." ”

Zhao Dezhao's heart moved, "I wonder if Brother Tai can reveal a thing or two?" ”

"That's what we're here for today." Fan Ruoshui suddenly looked at the Qinhuai River outside the window, and continued, "Childe can see, this Qinhuai River is like a big river moat, opposite is Jiangbei, and where Gongzi and I are located is Jiangnan. If the people on the opposite side want to think of this, one can cross the river by boat, and the other can lay a pontoon bridge to cross the river. ”

Zhao Dezhao already understood what he was going to say next, he listened quietly, and did not interrupt Fan Ruoshui's words.

Fan Ruoshui continued: "Childe may be worried. However, the reason why Tang and Tang were restless was because of the great river and natural danger, so Song and Tang focused on crossing the river. If you land across the river, you will be flat in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise you can only sigh across the river. ”

After Fan Ruoshui said this, he took a sip of tea, and the bitter taste suddenly filled his tongue, "But although the actual river is dangerous, how can it absolutely block the enemy in the north?" The Jin Dynasty destroyed the Eastern Wu, and the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Southern Chen. Jin destroyed Eastern Wu first destroyed Shu according to Jingxiang, and Song wanted to destroy Tang must first level Shu according to Jinghu, condescending, and attack Jiangdong downstream. The policy of Emperor Song back then was just to prepare for the destruction of the Tang Dynasty in the future. ”

Zhao Dezhao wanted to applaud Fan Ruoshui's wonderful strategy at this time, but at the moment in Zhongshan Tea Shop, there were people walking around the corridor outside, and the two of them had to lean against the window and whisper, like thieves under the noses of others.

Next, basically Fan Ruoshui was talking on the other side, and Zhao Dezhao listened attentively.

"However, those who go down the river are only naval forces, and the warships and sailors alone may harass them, but they cannot defeat the enemy. If you want to level the south of the Yangtze River, you must cross the river and land on foot, does the son think so? ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded and continued.

"The second way to cross the river, one is to take a boat, Guazhou and quarrying are the best ferries, of course, the river is meandering, and then find other places to cross the river. But how many boats do hundreds of thousands of troops need to cross the river? ”

"Moreover, the soldiers are noble and fast, and the Song army can only win by fighting quickly and besieging Jinling. Otherwise, it will be protracted, and even if it wins, the Song State will inevitably pay a heavy price. Crossing the river with thousands of boats is easy to detect, once the Tang State is prepared, how can it be said to fight a quick battle? Therefore, it is not the best way to cross the river by boat. I thought that building a pontoon bridge and crossing the river with a large army could destroy the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. ”

Zhao Dezhao deliberately asked: "The river is vast, how easy is it to build a pontoon bridge?" Sui destroyed Nan Chen, and Han Baohu also led the army to cross at night. Brother Tai's plan is exactly ......"

"Childe said this, which is also everyone's doubts. In addition to familiarizing himself with the books of the sages, he also has a knowledge of hydrology, the art of war, and construction. Last year, I visited along the river, and found that the quarry rock river was narrow, and it was completely possible to erect a pontoon bridge. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Dezhao wondered.

"It's difficult, and the difficulty lies in the water situation on the quarry river, the geological mountains and rivers on both sides of the river, and where to fix it. How deep is the water in the river, how to drive piles, how to connect and so on! ”

"I want to give it to my son, and the gift to Da Song is the quarrying water situation and the method of building a pontoon bridge! After the Song army attacked the Tang Dynasty for several years, he was willing to spend several years personally measuring the water situation and recording it for the Song army to build a pontoon bridge. ”

"It's a very good law." However, Zhao Dezhao said, "But you are floating on the river, and measuring the water situation is not a day's work." If it appears frequently, the quarrying defenders will be aware of it, and you will not be able to protect yourself. ”

"There is naturally a way to do this, and I can't tell my son about it for the time being."

Zhao Dezhao then changed his name and arched his hand: "Thank you, Mr. for your advice, this is a great achievement, and the little king will return to Beijing another day to show His Majesty." When the pontoon bridge is built, that is when you are on your way. Zhao Dezhao swore solemnly.

Fan Ruoshui was a little surprised, he stood up from his seat, "Thank you Chitose!" I do my best under the next by all means! ”

"Sir, don't be humble, I don't know where Mr. will stay temporarily? Come back another day. Zhao Dezhao asked deliberately.

Fan Ruoshui told him where he lived, and then the two got up to say goodbye.

……

Out of Zhongshan Tea Shop, Xiao Guizi and the other four followed Zhao Dezhao's pace and continued to walk around the streets of Jinling......

In the back, he followed the two of them, one of whom said: "Leader Ouyang, that person is Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei of the Song Kingdom." "It was the second brother who spoke, named Ma Yuan, "The guards around him should be the forbidden army sent by Li Yu, it is not convenient to do it here on the street, so let's wait for other opportunities to make a move." ”

Ouyang Yuntian said: "Well, second, what you said is right, tonight I want to visit the Tang Kingdom Protocol House, and I will kill Zhao Dezhao no matter what, so that the lord can rest assured." ”

"The subordinates went to the east of the city at night to pack up the people and kill the protocol." Ma Yuan raised his head and looked at Ouyang Yuntian.
