The next day, Chu Tianya specially invited Yao Chong to the Star Picking Tower to discuss how to inform King Kang of Xiangzhou.

King Kang is a relative of the royal family and a marshal with troops; Yao Chong was a general at the edge of the town, and he was the most jealous and careful military general of the Zhao and Song dynasties. If these two people have any private contact outside behind the back of the imperial court, it is a big taboo, not to mention that it also involves state affairs and military affairs.

This is all the more careful. If you don't get it right, that's the sin of the Zhu people.

Therefore, Yao Chongneng offered to connect Chu Tianya and King Kang, and Chu Tianya was still very moved. Nowadays, there are not many officials who can regard the interests of the country and the safety of one party as more important than their lives and personal honor.

Yao Chong knew better than Chu Tianya what was at stake in this matter, so he was very cautious.

Because of the urgency of time, Chu Tianya wanted to set off as soon as possible. Yao Chong's idea was that Chu Tianya would send a powerful henchman to go with him, and Yao Chong would bring a military carrier pigeon with him. If King Kang allows, he will send a carrier pigeon notice over there, then Chu Tianya will send troops directly from here, which can save time as much as possible.

"I have to go in person." Chu Tianya said very decisively, "King Kang is not an ordinary minister and general, if I don't go in person, then he will think that we don't even have the most basic sincerity." ”

"The Admiral himself goes?" Yao Chong couldn't help but be stunned, "Who is in charge of Xiaocang Mountain?" ”

"The military advisor is in vain." Chu Tianya said, "I can leave most of the things to Bai Xu, I can rest assured." The only way to go to Xiangzhou to see King Kang is that I have to go in person. ”

"How many soldiers and horses is the general going to bring?" Yao Chong asked again.

"Eight thousand cavalry."

Yao Chong was even more stunned, "This is almost all the cavalry belongings in the hands of the general, right?" ”

"Yes, that's right."

Yao Chong's expression became more and more serious, "It seems that the general has made up his mind to fight this battle." But did the general ever think about it...... It is very likely that these 8,000 cavalry will not return. ”

"I've thought about it." Chu Tianya replied indifferently, "Since it is a war, it will definitely kill people." Partial sacrifice is for the victory of the whole. Among the 100,000 rebels, there were only 8,000 cavalry, and 5,000 of them were my personal guards. How reluctant it is, Yao Dutong can imagine. But in order to reverse the strategic passivity, this sacrifice is inevitable. ”

Yao Chong took a cool breath and nodded, "The general is a person who does big things......

"This time, I'm going out myself." Chu Tianya's words surprised Yao Chongda again.

"This, this is not appropriate!" Yao Chong hurriedly said, "The general is involved in thousands of things, and he is the mainstay of Hedong, how can he personally take risks?" ”

Chu Tianya said: "I have already thought about it very clearly. Here in Hedong, there is Baixu in Xiaocangshan, and there is Zhang Zhifu in Taiyuan, with a total of 150,000 troops, and there is no problem in defense. Even if Yan Zonghan's army is killed, he will at least be able to protect it. I'm staying here, which is the icing on the cake. However, the surprise attack team was handed over to anyone, and the effect was not as obvious as that of my personal command. Whether it is the route of the march or improvisation, including such a major event as negotiating with King Kang, and the diplomatic and ethnic problems that may be encountered in the future, it is not something that ordinary leaders and generals can properly solve. So, it had to be me in person. ”

"It seems that the general has already thought about it......" Yao Chong looked at Chu Tianya with a frown, and said meaningfully, "The general is already the master of ten thousand people when he is young, so he still sacrifices his life and forgets death, what other concerns can Yao have?" - General, without further ado, let's leave at once! ”

"Wait a minute. On the other side of Xiaocang Mountain, I have to make arrangements before I can leave. Chu Tianya said, "Also, this matter can't be exposed at all, firstly, it is for the sake of careful action and not to expose it, and secondly, it is also out of consideration for the safety and future of Yao Dutong." The place in Governor Zhang's Mansion was mediated by me, and Yao Dutong went to Xuanfu Si to take a sick leave, and then disguised himself as my pawn to accompany me. In this way, you can also avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

"Okay, it's really General Lao who thinks so well for Yao." Yao Chong hugged his fists gratefully, "Yao will go back to Xuanfu Division to take leave." With the general coming forward, he is not afraid of Governor Zhang's embarrassment. ”

"Yao Dutong, please!"

Yao Chong is gone.

"Dumbo!" Chu Tianya called.

Xiao Fei came in, "Please command, lord!" ”

"You are fast, immediately run to Xiaocang Mountain." Chu Tianya said, "Call Bai Xu, Jiao Wentong, Tang Ang and the old man to come to see me immediately." Remember, don't let Lord Xiao know! ”

"Yes!" Xiao Fei knew that it was a big deal, so he didn't dare to slack off and left immediately.

Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Liuhe, pen and ink are waiting." ”

"Yes." Liuhe prepared the four treasures of the study, and waited for Chu Tianya to speak, and then he wrote.

Chu Tianya thought for a while, "It's better for me to come by myself!" ”

Holding the pen, Chu Tianya pondered for a moment, and wrote a two-word head-up on the notebook - "suicide note"!

As many as seventeen pages, Chu Tianya wrote for an hour or two. After writing, he put it in a sturdy wooden box, sealed it with wax, and placed it at the head of his bed.

On the battlefield, no one can be 100% sure that they will come back alive, let alone this operation is so dangerous. Chu Tianya was not a sentimental person, he had already died once, and he could imagine how sad and overwhelmed his relatives and friends were at that time. Now, he didn't want the Hedong Righteous Army to fall into a mess after his death, and Xiao Linglong didn't know what to do or even do something stupid.

So he talked about the heir in his suicide note, as well as his explanation to Xiao Linglong.

When doing these things, Chu Tianya did not feel particularly excited and emotional, but was very calm. Perhaps because of the reincarnation, although he cherishes many hard-won things in front of him, but at the same time, he also thinks very thoroughly about some things between life and death.

Even if he comes back alive from this operation, this suicide note can always be kept, and it will naturally have its value. To put it mildly, it can at least become the "political program" of the 100,000 Hedong Army in the next few years, figuratively "moving to Guanzhong"; It also pointed out the historical trend between the Song and Jin countries, and also predicted a number of major events that might occur in the future.

Chu Tianya is confident that no matter who will take over the Hedong Righteous Army in the future, as long as he does what he said in the suicide note, he will be able to do something. The only way that cannot be taken is to become a vassal of the imperial court. The Great Song Dynasty court did not lack people or soldiers, and the 100,000 Hedong troops were like grass in their hands, not only would they lose their previous personality and sharpness, but the outstanding generals and ministers in the army might also die at the hands of their own people.

How good and meritorious is Yue Fei in history, and what is the result?

Therefore, if you want to make a difference in this troubled era, you can only find a unique way, and you can't be with the regime.

Among the leaders of the Hedong Righteous Army, the most capable are none other than Jiao Wentong and Bai Xu. But Chu Tianya believes that the only one who can really convince the people and lead them to stick to his line is Meng De.

Perhaps Meng De is not outstanding in talent, but he has outstanding personality charm and open-mindedness. With Bai Xu assisting him, even if he won't have earth-shattering achievements, he won't make many low-level mistakes.

For the rest of the things, Chu Tianya couldn't worry too much.

As for personal issues, Xiao Linglong ...... Chu Tianya couldn't arrange her life, so he could only ask her to continue to survive bravely!

That night, the people Chu Tianya wanted to see rushed to Taiyuan and entered the Star Picking Tower. Chu Tianya asked first, didn't you alarm Lord Xiao, right? Uncle He replied affirmatively no, because the young master was not there, and the Lord Xiao had lived in the barracks of the Yaksha Army for the past two days, and he was training vigorously.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I have something important to announce." Chu Tianya invited everyone to sit down and said, "Jiao Wentong, Tang An!" ”

"In!" The two of them stood up and solemnly clenched their fists in agreement.

"I order you two to lead the Xiao Cavalry and the Tiger Ben Cavalry, and secretly assemble at the mouth of the Yellow Dragon Valley tomorrow night." Chu Tianya said, "Remember, it's a secret operation!" You don't have to carry most of your baggage, and you can travel lightly! ”

"Yes!" The two didn't ask much, and generously agreed.

Chu Tianya looked at Jiao Wentong, "Second brother, please be sure to avoid Lord Xiao and don't let her know." ”

Jiao Wentong nodded, "Okay." ”

Everyone didn't ask much, but they had vaguely guessed something, and thought of the gravity of this incident.

"Bai Xu!"

"The subordinates are here!" Bai Xu hurriedly agreed.

Chu Tianya got up and walked in front of him, and handed him a splendid cloth bag and sword, "This is my seal letter and order sword, which will be handed over to you for safekeeping from today onwards." Before I return, the whole Hedong rebel army will be controlled by you. The other chiefs will receive my orders and learn about this. ”

"Ahh ......" Bai Xu was shocked, his face turned white, and he hurriedly retreated, "Xiao, Xiaosheng dare not accept it!" ”

"What, you're scared?" Chu Tianya stiffened his face, "When it was critical to employ people, you, the military advisor, were actually afraid?" ”

"Xiao Sheng is not afraid, he is ......" Bai Xu's eyes widened and he looked at Chu Tianya in horror, and suddenly shouted, "Lord, you must not take risks in person!" ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely tense, and everyone stood up unconsciously and gathered around Chu Tianya.

"Sit down." Chu Tianya said softly, but it was irrefutable.

Everyone had to sit back, including Uncle He, who didn't say much.

"Bai Xu, listen, I am giving you an order as the lord, not discussing with you!" Chu Tianya said sternly, "Do you dare not take it?" ”

"Small, small, ......" Bai Xu's lips trembled, and he had never been nervous and hesitant.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, walked to the side of the bed and picked up the box containing the suicide note and gave it to him, "Take it." If you don't know the bottom of your mind, or if you hear anything about me, gather all the leaders to open the box. Remember, don't open it until you have to. ”

Bai Xu Muran caught it, and looked at Chu Tianya in a daze, his eyes were straight.

"Don't be afraid." Chu Tianya patted him on the shoulder and smiled easily, "I just asked you to act as an agent for a few days in military affairs, what are you nervous about?" Haven't you done this before? ”

Bai Xu hugged the box, his hands shaking.

"I know you can do it." Chu Tianya slapped Bai Xu on the shoulder and pouted He Bonu, "Old man, I ask your old man to help take care of him, so that he doesn't suffer any harm, just like you have always taken care of me." ”

He Bo stood up slowly, his brows furrowed deeply, but his eyes were bright, he neither asked nor pushed, he just nodded, "Okay." ”

One word reassured Chu Tianya.

Chu Tianya looked at He Bo and read more and more of the taste of "father" in his eyes. So he smiled, and Uncle Ho's eyes suddenly moistened.

The old man nodded heavily and sat down.

A father's love is always deep.

He Bo naturally knew what Chu Tianya was going to do. Of course, he was unwilling to let Chu Tianya take such a risk, and he didn't let him follow. However, when the son grows up, he will always fly solo, he has his ideals and pursuits, and his purpose in life.

The sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps - let him go!

Concern and reluctance, longing and pride, at the same time gathered in the old man's heart. For the first time, his eyes were red and wet in front of outsiders.

How many years has this kind of thing happened?

"Tang An." Chu Tianya called out, diverting everyone's attention from the old man.

"I'm here!" Tang Ang hurriedly came up and looked at Chu Tianya with longing.

The people who can be called here today are all people who are about to shoulder a heavy responsibility and are worthy of Chu Tianya's trust. Tang Ang is a straight person, and he doesn't want to fall behind in anything, he is such a reckless person.

"You've been in charge of the Tiger Rider with Anu. But tomorrow, I want you to find a way to get rid of him, quietly leave Xiaocang Mountain with my cavalry, and join Second Brother Jiao in Huanglong Valley. Chu Tianya said, "Can you do it?" ”

"Uh, this ......" Tang Ang scratched his head, "Then I drunk him and tied him up, right?" I am a brother with him, and he won't blame me for a reason! ”

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "If you do this, you will chase after the county lord Xiao before you arrive in Huanglong Valley-what is the relationship between Anu and the county lord Xiao, and he will report something early in the morning." That's why I'm only calling you today, not Anu. ”

"What then?" Tang An's head was too big, so he went to drag Bai Xu in a hurry, "Military advisor, military advisor, hurry up and think of a way for me!" ”

Bai Xu also waved his hand with a wry smile, "Tomorrow, I will give an order on behalf of the lord to temporarily transfer Anu to Qixing Village to change guards with you!" - It's just that the lord, if Tang Ang goes, who will guard the Qixingzhai Heavenly Trench Pass? ”

Chu Tianya said lightly, "Now that you have full authority to give orders on my behalf, do you still need to ask me?" ”

Bai Xu was slightly stunned, "Okay, Xiaosheng knows......"

Chu Tianya exhaled, "After nightfall tomorrow, the soldiers and horses will set off." At the beginning of the day, I will wait for you in the Yellow Dragon Valley to enter the valley together. At night, they were stationed in the Yellow Dragon Valley. Remember, be careful to hide your whereabouts and not reveal them! All insiders must keep their mouths shut, including to their brothers and relatives, and they are not allowed to divulge a little! ”

"Yes!!"

"Twelve Qingwei, the old man, Lord Xiao, Xiaofei and Taiyin Taichang are all left." Chu Tianya said, "Others, follow me." ”

"Lord, why am I ......!" Xiao Fei was in a hurry, and was about to argue, when he saw a cold light in the eyes of the old man next to him, and immediately shut up.

Chu Tianya smiled slightly, "The old man has someone around him, you are quick to do things, stay and serve; Too often ...... Go and take care of the county lord for me. ”

"Yes......" Xiao Fei replied softly, and Taiyin Taichang didn't dare to say more.

"So be it!" Chu Tianya smiled, "If there are other things I don't understand, I will explain it separately." Disperse and prepare – remember, secrecy is paramount! ”

"Yes! ……”

Everyone agreed, and their expressions became more complicated than the other. Bai Xu was holding the Seal Signal Sword and the wooden box, feeling like he was holding a mountain, and his arms were extremely heavy.

Chu Tianya walked up to him and smiled easily: "Guard the camp and the city, and wait for me to come back." ”

Bai Xu's eyes turned red all of a sudden, his teeth were biting his bones, and his voice seemed to erupt from his chest cavity - "The city is in the people, and the city is lost!" ”
