Although he thought about how to deal with it, Li Cunhuan did not see Li Zhen immediately. The next day, Park Jinghui was sent to negotiate with Li Zhen, and in the evening, Park Jinghui came back to report the negotiation to Li Cunhuan.

On the bottom line of the negotiations, Li Cunhuan has always let Park Jinghui bite, either to give up Yunzhou, or to give up Luoyang Mansion, Zhengzhou and other places. It stands to reason that Li Zhen will either refuse or give up Yunzhou. After all, compared to Luoyang Mansion, whether it is geographical danger or fertile land, Luoyang Mansion is much better than Yunzhou.

However, the geographical location of Yunzhou is very important, if Zhengzhou is lost, that is, Bianzhou will be exposed under the iron hooves of Lu Longjun. But exposing Yunzhou means exposing Xuanwu under the iron hooves of Lu Longjun, and compared to Bianzhou, Xuanwu is undoubtedly much more important.

It stands to reason that Zhu Wen should also strongly refuse, but in order to prevent Zhu Wen's dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Li Cunhuan promised Zhu Wen that he could withdraw troops from the north of the Yellow River, but Li Cunhuan would not send troops to obstruct it. This withdrawal is different from marching, although the Yellow River has frozen, but if Li Cunhuan insists on sending people to obstruct it, Zhu Wen really can't retreat. It may sound paradoxical, but it's actually similar to climbing a mountain, which has been easy to climb and difficult to descend since ancient times.

And this withdrawal of troops and marching is the same reason, withdrawing troops, soldiers will inevitably panic in their hearts, and their hearts have been firm in their minds to retreat because of the military order to withdraw troops. But marching is another matter, no matter what, it also has a clear purpose, which is to kill the enemy and advance.

After getting Li Cunhuan's promise, Zhu Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Led the troops to retreat to the territory of Luoyang Mansion. Zhu Wen: What he was most afraid of before was that Li Cunhuan dragged it until January, when the Yellow River melted. Then Zhu Wen has to fight if he doesn't want to, otherwise Zhu Wen will be isolated again because of the melting of the ice on the Yellow River. At that time, Zhu Wen was really trapped in the river, in a dilemma. But in the face of the Lu Long army defending the fortified city of Heyang, Zhu Wen was not sure that he would be able to capture it after sacrificing a large number of soldiers.

Of course, Li Cunhuan will not be so kind, now that he has a new plan, he is naturally afraid of provoking Zhu Wen. Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, and they are even called Zhu Wen, a jackal. That's why this will make Zhu Wen slip away.

In the tugging and pulling, December has quietly passed, and the first year of God's blessing has become history. In the second year of Tianyou, whether it was Lu Long, Xuanwu, or Huainan, their armies were dragged on the line of the Yellow River and did not go home for the New Year. The breath of war was not diluted even a little bit by the joy of the New Year.

After nearly two months of tug-of-war between Park Jinghui and Li Zhen, the peace treaty has basically been decided, and the land north of the Yellow River is destined to belong to Li Cunhuan. But in cutting the land, Park Jinghui resolutely wanted Luoyang Mansion, while Li Zhen was resolute not to cut it, and would rather give an additional 250,000 yuan every year. The coins offered were fully doubled, but Park Jinghui still did not agree, but only expressed consideration.

Xuanwu and Lu Long negotiated peace, and the news also reached Huainan, and Yang Xingmi immediately led the army to retreat to Linyi to garrison, but even so, he did not forget to surround Yanzhou, and it seems that Yang Xingmi has a lot of resentment against Liu Yan. And nominally, Yang Xingmi was sick by Zhu Wen's self-assertion of peace and anger. In fact, everyone knows that Yang Xingmi is afraid that Zhu Wen will sell himself to Li Cunhuan, so as to save one million or hundreds of thousands of yuan is offering. Zhu Wen can really do such a thing, and there are not a few people who joined forces with Zhu Wen back then and were sold by Zhu Wen.

Huang Chao, Li Keyong, Zhu Xuan, and Zhu Jin are not the heroes of the world, one side is strong, stomping his feet, and the world trembles. In the end, it was not one by one to give Zhu Wen a miserable pit. Although Yang Xingmi is also a smart person, he will not be stupid to think that Zhu Wen will not dare to pit himself. Or be confident that you won't be pitted by Zhu Wen.

However, at this time, Yang Xingmi, who was wary of each other, did not know that in fact, he and Zhu Wen had been pitted by Li Cunhuan......

…… Dengzhou ......

More than 100 horsemen galloped in, their hooves digging up the damp dirt and digging shallow puddles of mud on the road.

"Open the door!" A cavalryman led the way in front, shaking a gold medal in his hand, and before the men and horses arrived, the land camp of the Dengzhou Navy Division had been opened, and a hundred horsemen followed closely.

"Stop! Horses are not allowed to gallop in the camp! A patrol of soldiers hurried over and shouted.

"Blind your dog's eyes and can't you see what this is?" One of the leading cavalrymen, when he heard this, was furious, with this gold medal, he 'passed the test' along the way, when was he stopped.

"Stop!" One of the cavalry members raised his hand and commanded in a deep voice.

"Phew! ......" The whole cavalry immediately sounded the sound of reins and neighing horses.

The man lifted the hood from his head, revealing a handsome face with a beard covered with stubble, and although his face was tired, his eyes were still as bright as two stars in the night. came, but it was Li Cunhuan, who rushed to Dengzhou overnight.

"Dismount!" A middle-aged military man walked over and said solemnly to Li Cunhuan. He only said that Li Cunhuan was the commander of this arrogant cavalry.

"Not bad! Are you from that army? Didn't Li Cunhuan ask this knowingly? In the barracks of the Dengzhou Water Division, aren't they soldiers of the Dengzhou Water Division? Different from the army, it is divided into six parts: cavalry, infantry, bow and crossbow, left and right compartments. Instead, it is divided into five armies: front, rear, left, right, and center. Therefore, Li Cunhuan asked whether this army was not the other army.

"How! I want to find my general to wear my little shoes! Hearing this, the military man looked at Li Cunhuan vigilantly and said viciously.

"Bold!" Zhu Jilong, who was following Li Cunhuan, was furious, stared at the military man viciously, and shouted: "This is His Royal Highness the Emperor's younger brother, King Qin, how can you talk like this!" ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Don't be annoyed, this military man attaches great importance to military law, okay!" Feng Baodu, you go to the Dengzhou Navy Division to command Wang Jian, so that this official will be promoted to one level, and no matter how big or small the military camp is, even if it is this king, you must abide by the laws and regulations of the army! ”

"No!" Feng Bao on the side responded.

Li Cunhuan also ignored the stunned military man, since someone informed Li Cunhuan of his arrival, Li Cunhuan dismounted, and did not wait long, Wang Jian came over with a group of people, accompanied by Zheng Zilong, the commander of the Beihai Division.

"The last general, Wang Jian (Zheng Zilong), has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin Chitose! Chitose! Chichitose! ”

"Sit down, are you all ready? What about Han Mengyin? Li Cunhuan didn't care about etiquette, found a stone and sat down, and asked Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong.

Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong, near Li Cunhuan, sat down on the spot, glanced at each other, Zheng Zilong opened his mouth and explained: "Deputy Commander Han Mengyin took a boat yesterday and went to the direction of the Lutai Army to urge the ordnance. ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he nodded noncommittally and said, "That's it, you go and prepare a resting barracks for this king, and you will send someone to inform Han Mengyin." Also, prepare quickly and leave in three days. This king estimates that Wang Maozhang is almost here! ”

"Back to His Highness, General Wang Maozhang has already sent a messenger yesterday, let us prepare a hot meal at dusk today, and it is estimated that we will arrive at dusk today." Wang Jian interjected on the side.

"Hmm!" Li Cunhuan responded: "Let's go, find a place to rest!" ”

"Your Highness, please come with the general." Zheng Zilong stood up, bowed in a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully.

In terms of accommodation, Zheng Zilong didn't dare to snub Li Cunhuan, but he also knew that Li Cunhuan didn't like luxury, so the barracks he prepared was just a clean barracks.

When Li Cunhuan woke up, it was already the fourth watch of the next day, Li Cunhuan put on a mink fur and a Tang knife pinned to his waist. However, Zhu Jilong was too vigilant, Li Cunhuan had just pinned the Tang Dao, and Zhu Jilong had already asked vigilantly outside: "Who!" ”

"It's the king!" Li Cunhuan said with this wry smile on his face.

"Your Highness, are you going there?" Zhu Jilong, when he opened the door and saw Li Cunhuan who was dressed neatly, he was stunned and asked. Zhu Jilong didn't seem to have a good rest, the beard on his jaw was messy, like a chicken nest, and his eyes were a little bloodshot, but the overall person looked quite energetic.

"Go on a patrol, you didn't sleep, did you? Let Feng Baodu come to accompany the king, you go and have a good rest, chop wood and don't mistake the knife sharpener. Li Cunhuan stopped Zhu Jilong, who was about to follow him.

Zhu Jilong was silent for a while, and when he saw Li Cunhuan's resolute attitude, he never nodded unwillingly. But Zhu Jilong was embarrassed and woke up Feng Baodu, who was already asleep, but personally ordered four soldiers from Tieyingdu to escort Li Cunhuan.

Li Cunhuan came back after watching it at the beach. At this time, not only was breakfast ready, but Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong also came to the barracks and waited for Li Cunhuan.

"Have you blown breakfast?" Li Cunhuan asked gently.

"I've eaten it! I've eaten it! When Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong heard this, they were flattered and hurriedly responded respectfully.

Li Cunhuan looked at the faces of the two of them, and estimated that they were lying, so he pointed to the barracks and said, "Go in!" I haven't eaten it yet, this king is a big-headed soldier, and he doesn't pay much attention to etiquette. ”

When Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong heard this, they glanced at each other and made eye contact. Only then did he cautiously follow Li Cunhuan into the barracks, and breakfast was cooked by the soldiers with good cooking skills in Li Cunhuan's Iron Eagle Capital. Although Li Cunhuan also wanted to share weal and woe with ordinary soldiers, he is now the king of Qin, and he is the king of Qin, with tens of millions of people and millions of troops.

It is not impossible that an Assassin would ambush among the soldiers, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Li Cunhuan. Or poison the food, Li Cunhuan is always bad for people to test the poison first, and then eat with the soldiers. Although others understand in their hearts, understanding is understanding, and in the face of this kind of distrustful behavior, it is inevitable that they will be a little dissatisfied in their hearts. So Li Cunhuan didn't do this thankless thing again.

Although it is cooked by a private chef, Li Cunhuan's breakfast is not luxurious, and the ingredients are very simple. A pot of white porridge with white mist, a small fried fish no longer than the palm of your hand, and a small plate of pickles are very simple. The fried fish is still the sea fish caught by the sailor soldiers in the morning.

"Go, tell me to add two more chopsticks and two eggs!" Li Cunhuan instructed the soldiers on the side.

Li Cunhuan sat down, and saw that Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong were still standing there stiffly, as if they were crawling with ants, and they couldn't sit or stand. Li Cunhuan couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at it, pointed to the stool next to him, and said with a smile: "Sit!" You're welcome, in fact, I'm very casual in private, and this king is not casually hanging, the etiquette is not bad, but it's too rigorous, and it's too boring for a person to get it. ”

"Yes! Your Highness Xie sat down. When Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong heard this, they relaxed a little and sat down with a smile, but if they wanted to completely relax in front of Li Cunhuan, I am afraid it is not so easy.

Li Cunhuan didn't force Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong to relax all of a sudden, after half a sound, mixed with a piece of fish meat, and drank a big mouthful of white porridge, Li Cunhuan looked at Wang Jian and asked, "Wang Jian, do you think my plan this time is good?" ”

When Wang Jian heard this, his face, which was originally eating white porridge slowly, immediately stiffened, gently put down the dishes and chopsticks, and groaned for a while, and then said cautiously: "Since His Highness asked, the last general will also say it directly, the lower official is not optimistic about this plan, and feels that it is too risky, and in the current situation, His Royal Highness should not be so risky, and he will be in person." It is important to know that the sea is the most ruthless. ”

Zheng Zilong saw that Wang Jian's more and more wrong he said, as if he was accusing Li Cunhuan, he touched Wang Jian with his knee under the table.

Wang Jian's voice paused slightly, as if he had come to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and muttered: "The last general's is just what the reckless man talks about, what the reckless man talks about, don't be surprised by Your Highness!" ”

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said: "No, it doesn't matter if you say it directly, even if you scold me Li Cunhuan here, it doesn't matter, it's right, it's right, it's wrong, it's wrong!" People can cover up their mistakes, but they can't change the mistakes they make. In fact, this time it was indeed very dangerous, and the military advisor agreed with it beforehand, but when you know that I am personally leading. Immediately turned pale with anger, and turned his face with me at the beginning, and said that he would hang the seal and leave, heh! Scold! I guess you can't imagine what it's like to be angry with a military advisor who is calm about everything! ”

"Huh! Scold! ......" Wang Jian and Zheng Zilong laughed when they heard this, but their minds also relaxed a lot.

Zheng Zilong hesitated, and said tentatively: "Actually, the general also thinks that His Highness should not risk his life in this matter, after all, this is the first time. A total of 40,000 people traveled from the south to the south, and the routes along the way were all traveled by merchant ships. And the number of warships heading south this time is more than 170, so many warships are sailing in rows, it is difficult to say that they will not encounter some unknown reefs, after all, there are only two or three merchant ships, and the space required is also a lot less. Speaking of this, Zheng Zilong paused, peeked at Li Cunhuan, and saw that Li Cunhuan's face was a little encouraging, and then continued: "In addition, if the enemy intercepts the back road." Your Highness, isn't your situation even more dangerous! ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he sighed: "I don't understand what you say, this time is an adventure." But it was also a crucial battle. To other people, I don't feel at ease. Instead of being scared, it's better to go down in person. Also, as you said, in case of siege, the first thing a soldier thinks of is surrender. But if I, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, are here, the soldiers will arouse their fighting spirit and fight hard. Sometimes, one person can change the outcome of a war! ”

When Zheng Zilong heard this, he nodded, but he still didn't want Li Cunhuan to do it himself.

Wang Jian saw that Zheng Zilong said, and Li Cunhuan did not scold, with Zheng Zilong's asking stone. Wang Jian also began to ask boldly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's not just this reason, right?" ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he smiled noncommittally. Of course, it's not just this reason, now there are only six and a half generals who can take charge of Lu Long, Zhou Dewei, Ge Congzhou, Yang Shihou, Fu Cunxian, Yelu Abaoji, and Liu Jun.

The last half is Li Cunxiao. Li Cunxiao is good at everything, in terms of experience, he has participated in battles since the Huangchao Uprising, and his military career has been nearly 20 years, and he has experienced not 100 but 99 battles, and he has rich experience. However, the disadvantage is that Li Cunxiao's force value is too high, and he often likes to be strong. For example, this time Li Cunxiao supported the battle of Pinglu, led more than 100 cavalry assaults in Jeju, and Yang Xing's secret killing was embarrassing, and Zhou Ben, the first general in Huainan, and Mi Zhicheng, the first marksman in Huainan, were almost folded in Li Cunxiao's hands. Yang Xingmi's Chinese army was about to break through, and he was forced to retreat while fighting, and retreated to Mount Tai to rely on the terrain to resist.

But then again, Li Cunxiao's force value is certainly high, but there are also cases where Yang Xingmi is underestimated. Yang Xingmi has always only heard of Li Cunxiao's name, but has not seen him, so he naturally has some doubts in his heart. did not pay proper attention to Li Cunxiao, so Li Cunxiao punched the master to death. If Yang Xingmi set up an ambush and took the opportunity to kill Li Cunxiao, who was attacking with a small number of cavalry, then Lu Long's army would not be defeated on the spot. The army was also in turmoil, and was defeated by Yang Xingmi.

Therefore, in Li Cunhuan's heart, Li Cunxiao can only be regarded as half of the generals who are in charge alone.

But now Zhou Dewei has to suppress Monan, Ge Congzhou replaces Li Cunhuan to suppress Heyang, Yang Shihou and Zhang Chengye sit in the Youzhou base camp, and casually let the barbarian tribes in Liaodong settle down. Yelu Abaoji incorporated Wei Bo and surrendered his troops. Fu Cunxian was seriously injured in the battle of the Sanggan River, and it took at least a year to recover, and now it has only been half a year, and it is estimated that he can just go to the ground, not to mention commanding the soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that he will be so tired from the bumps and fatigue on the march that he will be so tired that he will be killed. Liu Yan was trapped in Yanzhou and could not escape.

Of course, Li Cunhuan can let Zhou Dewei replace him, but Li Cunhuan does not think that Zhou Dewei can trust this task. Zhou Dewei has the ability, but he has always been good at commanding cavalry and overwhelming people with power. This kind of thing with infantry and a surprise attack from behind, Zhou Dewei may not be able to do it.
