Early in the morning, Chu Tianya came to the Xiao Cavalry camp to observe Yue Fei's training.

As the saying goes, the ruler is short and the inch is long, and Chu Tianya never thinks that he is an all-round talent. In terms of martial arts, there are batches of people around him who can casually knock him down, even including his women; If he is more resourceful and talented, he is definitely not as good as Bai Xu; If you talk about the method of training and using soldiers, Jiao Wentong, Xue Yu, Ma Kuo, Liu Ziyu and others are all better than him.

Chu Tianya is only trying to do a little bit now, firmly enveloping these capable people around him. Therefore, he formulated a firm principle for himself to employ people: employ people without doubt, let them play freely, and never blindly command "outsiders lead insiders".

Therefore, when observing Yue Fei's military training, Chu Tianya didn't say a word, Zhang Xian took the initiative to ask, "Please ask the lord for guidance", Chu Tianya only clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "Very good, you continue".

Jiao Wentong laughed on the side and said nothing. Although he and Chu Tianya have not known each other for a long time, because they have fought and have painstakingly tried to understand each other and defeat each other, the two of them understand each other much more deeply than ordinary outsiders.

Jiao Wentong smiled because he clearly knew that Yue Fei, a thousand-mile horse who had "strayed into this", was about to be caught by Chu Tianya with this kind of "inaction" rope.

Controlling rigidity with softness and wanting to capture the old and indulge, the wrist used by Chu Tianya when he subdued Yue Fei was so clever that it was not visible, but he slowly subdued Yue Fei's proud ambition.

Yue Fei is young, talented, arrogant, and has never met talents. In the past, when he was in the Great Song army, he was only a cavalry commander at the highest, who didn't give him a look? Even if there is talent and retribution, there is nowhere to show. Now that his subordinates have soldiers, horses, money, and food, arms and brothers, and a field and stage for him to gallop on, he can show and play as much as possible - this grace of knowledge based on unreserved trust, how many warriors have been able to meet in the past?

Therefore, although Yue Fei never mentioned the word "gratitude", and even personally talked about Chu Tianya with his closest Zhang Xian and others, Jiao Wen informed that Yue Fei was already one of them.

When the sun was on the third pole, Liuhe came to report, saying that the envoys of the Jin State immediately loved to see.

Chu Tianya laughed, "He drank a good amount of alcohol, but he didn't get drunk to death!" ”

"Lord, even if he dies, he should be scared to death." Jiao Wentong said with a smile, "My subordinates are ignorant and want to ask, doesn't the lord really want Shi Liai's character?" ”

"Half-truths." Chu Tianya replied with a smile, "It is undeniable that Shi Liai is a talented person. Twenty years later, Bai Xu should almost be like this. Such a character, even if he can't be used by me, can't cheapen the guys in Jinguo. Besides, although Shi Liai was born in Liao, he is also of Han blood. actually helped the Jin people kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he is simply a bastard! -- Such a person is far more hateful than the golden man. He fell into my hands, how could I possibly put him back, wouldn't it be to let the tiger go back to the mountain? ”

"The lord has a point." Jiao Wen channel, "After the Jurchens wiped out the Liao State, they hired their civil and military talents together, regardless of the good or the bad. In the final analysis, even the Jurchens themselves know that what they lack most is talent, especially a wise man and erudite person like Shi Liai. In the western court of the Jin Kingdom, Shi Liaigui was the privy envoy, and the Jin people called him the 'mastermind', which was actually equivalent to the military advisor in our army. If he can pull out Shi Liai, it will undoubtedly be like knocking out Yan Zonghan's head. It would be much easier to clean him up. ”

Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows, approached and whispered, "Those who know me, second brother too!" ”

Jiao Wentong was stunned suddenly, "The next unintentional word, the lord doesn't want to ......"

"Heaven must not be divulged." Chu Tianya smiled mysteriously, "The second brother is injured, and he should rest more." The matter of military training can be entrusted to Yue Fei with confidence. ”

"Okay." Jiao Wentong smiled, although he was a little tired and sickly in his smile, he was very comfortable, "The lord can rest assured, what else can't his subordinates rest assured?" -- My subordinates will go back and lie down! ”

"Good. I'm gone, I'll go back and fall in love for a while. Chu Tianya smiled and said goodbye to Jiao Wentong.

Jiao Wentong squinted at the background of Chu Tianya's strides away, and sighed lightly, "How could I have thought of being an enemy of him in the first place?" How foolish ......"

Shi Liai sat in front of him, looking at his nose and nose, trying to stay calm and indifferent. But I felt a chill on my body, as if I was locked in an ice cellar. Yesterday's half-joking, half-serious "request" of Chu Tianya was really unexpected by him, and it really frightened him.

Now, Shi Liai has a feeling of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat". Even Chu Tianya's joke could make him tremble.

In the final analysis, as long as Chu Tianya has this idea, he has the ability to make his "joke" a fact.

This is power.

"Whew-"

A wind sounded, and Chu Tianya lifted the curtain and entered.

Shooting in a dazzling sunlight and rolling in a cold wind, Shi Liai subconsciously raised his arms to protect his face, and his body trembled slightly.

"Mr. Shi had a hangover, but he woke up so early, but he dislikes the harsh conditions in our army and is not used to eating?" Chu Tianya approached with a smile and asked.

Shi Liai hurriedly got up, bent down and bowed his hand to wait, "The prince is hospitable, and he feels at home." It's just that Xiaosheng is in charge of state affairs and military affairs, and he doesn't dare to slack off. ”

"Oh, that's it." Chu Tianya smiled casually, waved his hand to signal Shi Liai to sit down, and then sat down in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Shi Liai continued to look at his nose and nose, his nose looked at his heart, and his heart was pounding.

This feeling is like a sheep being forced into a dead end with no way out by a hungry wolf, waiting for the verdict of death.

"Slap" Chu Tianya suddenly slapped his face, and Shi Liai, who was nervous, trembled inexplicably.

"Damn, Sycamore is really not a good place, such a big mosquito!" Chu Tianya took the trouble to slap Shi Liai, and sure enough, there was a small drop of blood in the palm of his hand, which killed a mosquito that had just been fed.

Shi Liai felt that his nerves were like being pulled by Chu Tianya on a swing, and he was helpless to the bones. He smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, Xiao Sheng wants to talk to Lord Wang today and have a formal talk......

Chu Tianya suddenly interrupted Shi Liai's words with a wave of his hand, "Formal? ”

"...... right"

Chu Tianya's face was blank, "So, Mr. Shi was teasing me yesterday, talking nonsense?" ”

"This ...... Xiao Sheng didn't mean this, the prince was angry! Shi Li couldn't cry or laugh, and lowered his voice almost pleading, "The diplomatic relations between the two countries are related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people. The detailed rules need to be considered in the long run. ”

"Hey, why do I feel like you're threatening me?" Chu Tianya's eyes flashed, and a heavy sound came out of his nose, "Hmm-"

"No, that's not what Xiaosheng meant!" Shi Liai was also calm, and said seriously, "The two countries have been fighting again and again, and it is against heaven and earth to lose their lives. At this time, it is good to strike a truce and form an alliance forever, which is the will of heaven and the desire of the people......"

"Last year, when you besieged Taiyuan and the bloodbath was really settled, why didn't you think so?" The corners of Chu Tianya's mouth raised and he sneered, "Oh, now that I have lost, I see that the shape is not good, but I have moved out of my mouth full of benevolence and morality?" …… Mr. Shi, your sage book is really not in vain! ”

Shi Liai took a breath and frowned deeply. In the face of this king of Luoyang, who is inaccessible to the knife and salt, he really has no good way. And he also seemed to feel that the grass-headed prince in front of him, who was about to take charge of the power of the southern kingdom, did not seem to be sincere in peace talks, and he was deliberately delaying time.

"What exactly is he going to do?" Shi Li pondered so much in love, but he didn't dare to ask.

If you ask, you will definitely fall into his trap. This is not only a game of power, but also a diplomatic negotiation, Shi Liai can not be cautious, the most afraid is that the disaster will come out of the mouth.

"I'm still saying that. If you want to negotiate peace, you must first promise me a few conditions. Chu Tianya said slowly, "The first one is that Mr. Shi will follow me in the future." Of course, I will allow you to do your best for your old club to carry out the peace talks in front of you and end them perfectly. After that, you have nothing to do with Jin Guo. ”

"Lord Wang......" Shi Li's love was even more embarrassed.

Chu Tianya interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I'm the one who hates grinding and grinding the most, and I'm not willing to repeat what I've said—you think about it!" ”

"Okay, Xiaosheng will think about it carefully." Shi Liai sighed helplessly.

At this time, Xiao Fei came to report that the luncheon had been prepared, and the major leaders of the Righteous Army Alliance had arrived to wait for the king of Luoyang.

"Okay, let's eat!" Chu Tianya patted his knees and stood up, "Mr. Shi is a distinguished guest, so he should be seated - please!" ”

"This ......" Shi Liai hesitated, "On such occasions, it is inconvenient for Xiaosheng to attend, right?" ”

"It's okay, please!" Chu Tianya didn't give him room to maneuver at all.

What can Shi Liai do? I had to obediently keep up.

The group arrived near the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, where a large banquet was set up, and more than 200 people attended. Chu Tianya was naturally in the upper position, next to Xiao Linglong, and the left seat of the lower head should have been Jiao Wentong's position, but because he was injured and did not attend, he was empty, and then Yue Fei and Cao Cheng and others followed.

Wanyan Zongwang, the captive, was also invited to the banquet today, and he was ranked as the chief of the right row under the courtesy of the guests. Everyone didn't care, but they found it interesting, which made it clear that Chu Tianya was condemning the "second prince" of the Jin country.

Wanyan Zongwang has been accustomed to Chu Tianya's various tricks these days, isn't it just to have a meal, he doesn't care about it at all. As soon as he took his seat, he began to eat and drink, like a person who was unmanned, but he was calm and calm.

When Chu Tianya, Shi Liai and others entered, everyone stood up and hugged their fists to greet each other, only Wanyan Zongwang ate and drank as if no one was there, and the appearance of eating was particularly ugly.

Shi Liai saw Wanyan Zongwang from a distance, his expression changed suddenly, and his pupils widened.

"Second Highness?" He couldn't help but whisper.

Chu Tianya deliberately stopped in front of Wanyan Zongwang's table, bent down and asked with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, is the diet still to your liking?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Chu Tianya nonchalantly, and didn't want to deal with it at all, and was about to continue to bow his head to nibble on his leg of mutton, but he caught a glimpse of Shi Liai, and his expression suddenly froze, and he raised his head in surprise.

Shi Liai knelt head-on, "Weichen Shi Liai, meet the Second Highness!" ”

"Master Shi, is it really you?!" Wanyan Zongwang was quite surprised, threw the leg of mutton and stood up, "Zong Han sent you to be an envoy?" - What happened to the Western Route Army?! ”

It was really a difficult encounter, sympathy for the same disease, Shi Liai's tears reached the edge of his eyes, and he endured grief and said with trembling lips: "Fighting hard in Luoyang, you can't advance an inch." ”

"Chu Tianya personally led the main force to fight against the general in Tokyo, who else in Luoyang can stop Zong Han's army?" Wanyan Zongwang's eyes widened, and he asked with a roar like thunder.

"Haha!" Chu Tianya smiled on the spot, "Second Highness, you also think too highly of yourself." Let me tell you this, I, Chu, don't know anything about soldiers at all, and I'm just a layman. The reason why I came to Tokyo to fight the wildfires is ...... It's because your second highness can't do it. Therefore, I left the most warlike troops and the best generals of the Hedong Righteous Army in Luoyang, coupled with the natural danger of the flooding Yellow River - how could Wanyan Zonghan be able to fight? ”

"You! ......" Wanyan Zongwang was really angry at this time, and pointed at Chu Tianya tremblingly, and spit out the broken mutton in his mouth, "You deceive people too much!" ”

"If your subordinates are defeated, don't be prestigious." Chu Tianya sneered, "Let me tell you clearly, Wanyan Zonghan sent Shi Liai to come to me to ask for peace-Mr. Shi, tell your second highness, yes or no?" ”

"Shi Liai, you say!!" Wanyan Zongwang roared angrily.

Shi Liai knelt on the ground, beads of sweat on his forehead rolling down, and he didn't dare to speak.

"Why don't you say that?" Wanyan Zongwang was so angry that he really stomped his feet, "My invincible Jurchen people have never bent their knees to anyone and begged for mercy!" - Zong Han, how could he do such a thing? ”

Chu Tianya said with a smile: "Second Highness, have you forgotten, you are the brother of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, if you make a mistake, where can Zong Han afford to be offended?" - I think so, since Zong Han cares so much about your life and death, it is better to let him exchange a hostage with you! ”

Zong Wang and Shi Liai were stunned when they said this, and they all looked at Chu Tianya in surprise.

Chu Tianya pointed left and right at the two people in front of him, "Just the two of you, change - the second prince will go back, and Shi Liai will stay." ”

"What?" Shi Liai didn't have any special reaction, and Yan Zong was shocked when he looked at it, "Are you serious?" ”

"You're leaving, you can do it now!" Chu Tianya pursed his lips nonchalantly.

"Chu Tianya, what do you mean?!" Zong Wang stared at Chu Tianya in disbelief.

"Come on, lead the horse to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and by the way, return him some gold and silver plates, and then pick two Jurchen guards for him from the prisoner camp." Chu Tianya ordered.

His men were also stunned when they heard it, but since the lord had given the order, they did so.

Not long after, two Jurchen captives, as well as three horses, Wanyan Zonghan's drape and other items were taken together.

"While I haven't changed my mind, I'm going to go." Chu Tianya said.

Wanyan Zongwang snatched the reins, still staring at Chu Tianya with suspicion, looking at these southerners around him.

Shi Liai stood aside, silent, his face like ashes.

"I'm not a gentleman, and I'm going to regret it right away. I counted to three. Chu Tianya raised a finger, "One!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang turned over and rode his horse wildly! The two Jurchen sergeants ran as if they were dead.

Countless people pulled their bows and wound them to shoot him, Chu Tianya shouted, "Don't let go of the arrow, let him go!" ”

Everyone had no choice but to put down their bows and arrows, and watched Wanyan Zongwang run outside the barracks.

"Chu Tianya, you will regret it! Hahaha!! Wanyan Zongwang laughed loudly.

"If I don't let you go, I'll really regret it." Chu Tianya sneered and muttered to himself in a low voice.

Xiao Linglong was beside him, smiled knowingly, and whispered, "I heard it." ”

Chu Tianya said to Shi Li Ainu, who was standing there in a daze not far away, and watched Yan Zongwang in the distance, "I can guarantee that he didn't hear it." ”

"I can assure him that he will want to die now." Xiao Linglong smiled dumbly, "Tianya, your divisive plan is really too poisonous and ruthless!" ”

"The bell must also be tied to the bell. Only the master of the Jin Kingdom can make Shi Liai, a loyal hound, die. Chu Tianya looked at Shi Liai's thin back with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Shi Liai, I'm going to decide!" ”
