Qin Ziqing turned his head to look, but saw that in the twilight, Wu Qingyi was about to walk down from the picture scroll. Qin Ziqing was electrocuted, but he never expected that the danqing that Xu Ruyu showed him at the bow of the boat would appear in Yuan Gongchen's hands.

It was said that Qin Ziqing was strolling with wine on the shore of Sangbo Lake in Jiangning, met a light boat, invited him with the wine in his hand, boarded the light boat, and found that the two people drinking on the light boat were Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang. A conversation on the bow of the boat, a pot of wine, and a picture of a lady, when Xu Ruyu and Chen Ang left in the water, Qin Ziqing suspected that he was in a dream, and sat on the bow of the boat, as if he remembered many things, but he couldn't remember anything afterwards. When he came back to his senses, the light boat had drifted to the mouth of the lake with the wind, and was shallow on the shore of the lake where the reeds and grass were withered and yellow. Qin Ziqing didn't know where to go, so he sat in the reeds for a while, and Ji Siqian came suddenly. learned from Ji Siqian that Jiang Ning had gone out of the city privately because he had issued a kill order, and sent a hundred shadow warriors to chase and kill him.

Qin Ziqing had seen Ji Siqian when he was talking about war in Xuancheng, and he already knew the identity of this brown-clothed and white-bearded old man at this time. After Ji Siqian took some trouble to bring him to the foothills of Linxiang Mountain, Qin Ziqing understood that the Jinghu Sect Master in front of him also made Xu Ruyu calculate.

As Yuan Zhen said, who in the world is willing to be a pawn of others? Qin Ziqing regarded the affairs of the prince as just dung, and was even more unwilling to be driven by Xu Ruyu to Nanping to be a dead man. Thinking that Xu Ruyu personally arranged for himself to go out of the city, the others only regarded him as a betrayal of Jiangning, and Si Wencao also issued a chase and kill order, this Jiangning could not go back. Although Xu Ruyu arranged everything seamlessly, if he made a move in Nanping, how could he hide the thoughtful Tianji Xueqiu, Rong Yanmen and others? Thought: Isn't it easy for them to take my surname?

Yuan Zhen sent a few envoys to invite, but Qin Ziqing just pushed but didn't see it, and said: "I'm in Jiangning, and I can still keep my life, why does Ji Dazong bother with my surname?" ”

Ji Siqian only thought that he was afraid of Rong Yanmen and did not dare to help Yuan Zhen seize power, but he didn't think about it further: Nanping was divided internally, Jiangning benefited the most, and Qin Ziqing helped Yuan to fight for power, how could Rong Yanmen not guess that all this was actually due to Xu Ruyu's arrangement?

Unless the forces of Yuan Zhen's family can bring down Rong Yanmen, there will be no place for him to die.

After Xu Ruyu returned to Jiangning, he made many moves against the equal forces in the East China Sea and Nanping, which made people feel confused, and probably no one expected that there would be a trick to the death.

If it weren't for this dead person, he would probably have sighed in his heart, and he would have been overjoyed to be the first to understand Xu Ruyu's arrangement. However, what Qin Ziqing thought about most at this time was how to keep his surname, neither letting Xu Ruyu nor Rong Yanmen take advantage of it.

But it was Yuan Gongchen who took out the portrait of Wu Qingyi, which made Qin Ziqing stand stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by thunder, his face changed suddenly, and it could be seen that he was extremely complex and contradictory in his heart.

Qin Ziqing remembered what he said when he knelt down in front of Xu Ruyu: "Qin Zhongshu didn't dare to spare his body, but asked General Qingfeng to protect Wu Qingyi in Jiangning. ”

Qin Ziqing sighed secretly: Xu Ruyu really only needs his own words.

Where can Yuan Gongchen see through what Qin Ziqing is thinking? Seeing that his face changed suddenly, he should only guess his sore feet.

Although Yuan Gongchen had only met Qin Ziqing a few times in Jiangning, Wu Qingyi was present every time, and from Qin Ziqing's eyes when he looked at Wu Qingyi, Yuan Gongchen could see at a glance that he had the same obsession with Wu Qingyi as himself.

Yuan Gongchen said: "Jiang Ning deceived people too much, Xu Ru was greedy for the beauty of the girl in Tsing Yi, and forced her to stay in Jiangning. I went to reason with him, but he took out this painting to humiliate me Nanping, saying that 'Linxiang is a poor and remote country, even this picture of a lady will fade some color', which is really alive and angry. ”

Did Xu Ruyu leave Wu Qingyi in Jiangning?

"Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?" Yuan Gongchen's short and fat face was slightly distorted, "Since Xu Ruyu became the lord of Jiangning, he has been so arrogant that he doesn't even take me Nanping in his eyes!" ”

Qin Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down the agitated mood, and then cast his eyes on the picture scroll, which had returned to his previous tranquility, and said indifferently: "If the two families can be reconciled because of this woman, and the dispute can be put to rest, isn't it what Nanping wants?" ”

Yuan Zhen snorted coldly, and arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it from Ziqing, the dispute with Jiang Ning is what Rong Yanmen wants, but it is not what Nanping wants." ”

"Oh, Ziqing doesn't know what's the difference?"

"Since Xu Ruyu began to mess with the world with "County Policy", the land of Zhongzhou has been divided, Beihu took the opportunity to invade Youji, and Zahuer invaded Qinzhou. The Fu clan perished, and it was logical for the Yuan clan to return to the throne of Zhongzhou. In the past, Li Sixun, an important minister, also bowed to the table, invited me to ascend the throne, and called on the heroes to expel Hu Lu. Thinking that the two families of Chongqing and Wu Luo were both famous families of the old dynasty, they should unite to resist Hu Lu together, rather than to conquer and eliminate them. ”

Qin Ziqing said secretly: It was not only the Jiang Ning family that instigated Yuan Zhen to fight for power with Rong Yanmen. Xun Zhuwu controlled almost the entire territory of Qinzhou, but his foundation was still shallow, and he was afraid that after Rong Yanmen conquered Chengyu, his troops would go out of Hanzhong to threaten the southern border of Qinzhou.

Seeing Qin Ziqing's solemn expression, Yuan Zhen only wanted to be moved by his words, and continued: "I want to be in the land of Zhongzhou, based on the system of the family clan, but Jiang Ning wants to subvert it, his heart is no different from that of a foreign race, so he should be the first to suppress it, rather than live in harmony with it. ”

Qin Ziqing said: "In this way, it seems that Rong Yanmen is bent on going west to conquer Chongqing. ”

Yuan Zhen's expression froze, and the resentment on his face was particularly obvious.

Yuan Gongchen said: "Brother Qin's expectations are not bad, when Rong Yanmen led the army to the west, the emperor blocked Wu and Luo Er's family on the grounds that they were all famous ministers in the past, and once said: Xu Ruyu is a disaster to the world, and if you want to use troops, you should add Jiangning first. Zuo Du did not listen to the holy words, insisted on going his own way, and led the soldiers and horses of the North Road to invade Chengdu and Chongqing, which caused Jiangning to sit big. ”

It is an inevitable choice for Rong Yanmen to lead the troops to the west and let Jiangning sit on the throne. If you want to allow Yanmen to lead the troops to invade Yue County first, then the forces in the southeast will definitely resist Nanping together under the leadership of Jiang Ning, in that case, the vitality of the entire south will be greatly damaged, but the Hulan people and Xun Zhuwu in the north will win the opportunity. Rong Yanmen first invaded Chengyu and then Jingxiang, occupying the shape of the upper reaches of the river, and looking at Jiangning from a high point is the best policy.

Xu Ruyu was afraid of forming such a situation, so he let himself come to Hunan Province.

Qin Ziqing sighed and said, "If Rong Yanmen prevents you from ascending to the throne, who can do anything?" Ziqing has not asked about the world for a long time, but he also knows that Nanping's elite soldiers, and the top ten are all under the orders of Rong Yanmen. ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Please Ziqing teach me." ”

Qin Ziqing said: "Ji Dazong took me captive to Linxiang, and when you know my surname, your brain is really too lazy to turn. ”

Ji Sixian's old face turned red and said: "Ziqing's whereabouts in Jiangning are monitored by Jing'an Division's eyeliner, if I don't invite you to Linxiang, Jiangning can still tolerate you for a long time?" ”

Qin Ziqing said: "Xu Ruyu sells his reputation and reputation, and before he wins the world, he will not harm my surname." With these long periods of time, Ziqing may be able to converge on his surname. Ji Dazong seemed to save Ziqing from the sea of suffering, but Ziqing had nowhere to hide. ”

Yuan Zhen was annoyed by his words, and said slightly angrily: "Ziqing doesn't want to help me, just stay in Linxiang, Yuan Zhen can still protect your surname." ”

Qin Ziqing laughed and said, "Three or five years later, you can still save your surname and say this again." ”

Yuan Zhen's forehead was bruised, and he said, "Why do you say this? ”

Qin Ziqing said: "Since Rong Yanmen has prevented you from ascending the throne, he naturally thinks about the throne in his heart, and when that time comes, he can still tolerate you." ”

Yuan Zhen said: "When there is such a possibility, but if Rong Yanmen wants to ascend the throne, he will also stay until the world is decided, why does Ziqing think that Rong Yanmen will be able to preliminarily determine the world in three or five years?" ”

"The first to set the world?" Qin Ziqing snorted coldly, "Rong Yanmen finally has no such possibility in his life. ”

Yuan Zhen was shocked, he didn't know why Qin Ziqing made this assertion, he was stunned, and he forgot to ask him why.

Ji Siqian said: "Ziqing is a little alarmist. ”

Qin Ziqing said: "All the heroes in the world, who does Ji Dazong think is the most powerful? ”

Ji Siqian said: "Hulan is the first, Nanping is second, Jiangning, Xun, Gu, Chen, Yi, Huo, etc. ”

Qin Ziqing waved his sleeves, his eyes were full of disdain, and said: "Ziqing thinks that Hulan and Jiangning are tied for the first place, Nanping is second, Xun Zhuwu is again, and the rest are not enough trouble." In the end, the one who wins the world must be one of Hulan and Jiangning, and Nanping will never have a chance. ”

Yuan Gongchen opened his mouth, but still closed it, did not say a word, and said secretly: When they met in Jiangning, they only knew that he was as obsessed with Wu Qingyi as himself, Ji Dazong brought him back to Linxiang, saying that he had great talent, and he would be suspicious in his heart. I regret saying a lot of good things about him in front of Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's expression was extremely solemn, and he bowed for a long time and said, "Please teach me, sir." ”

Yuan Gongchen was slightly startled when he heard Yuan Zhen use the honorific title, and said secretly: Big brother let this frivolous man be bluffed?

Qin Ziqing was a little frenzied, sat on the dangerous rock, looked down at Yuan Zhen, and said: "Xu Ruyu took me to Jiangning, but gave me the opportunity to see Jiangning up close, the deeper I understood, the more surprised I was in my heart, so I had such an assertion, which was by no means alarmist. Let me ask you, who can surpass Xu Ruyu in the world? ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Xu Ruyu's rise to Jiangning has never had setbacks, but he has never encountered a strong enemy, and it cannot be said that he is the best in the world in terms of soldiers." ”

"You don't have to meet to know, and the difference between the realms is also. At the beginning of Hulan's northern invasion, I thought that no one in the world could stop the iron horse that came and went like the wind, Xu Ruyu laid a son in Wuhu, and I knew that the world could reject Hulan, but Jiang Ning also. But I want to ask you, what is the power of the Hulan Iron Cavalry? ”

Yuan Gongchen saw that he was condescending and arrogant, and he was afraid that the eldest brother would be angry, so he replied first: "The Hulan iron cavalry invades like the wind, charges like cutting, and the infantry camp is lined up at the beginning, and the iron cavalry has galloped in front of him, and he can't stop it, but the strong wall is defended and the city is fortified. ”

Qin Ziqing shook his head, his eyes wandered on the faces of Yuan Zhen and Ji Sixian, and said, "Hulan's invasion of Youji has brought the advantages of cavalry into play. Tens of thousands of iron horsemen quickly detoured back to the weakly defended southern border of Youji from the western foot of Taihang Mountain, conquered Hanyang and other places in one fell swoop, and then interspersed in depth, cutting and encroaching on the entire territory of Youji, so far only Fanyang is a lonely city. At that time, Xu Ru was in Youji, and there was nothing he could do in the face of the Hulan Iron Cavalry that was coming from a distance. Hulan Iron Cavalry set off from Pingcheng, crossed Yanmen Pass, attacked south from the western foot of Taihang Mountain, detoured back to Hanyang, traveled more than 2,000 miles, and was attacked by more than a dozen cities belonging to the Xun clan of Fenjun County along the way. ”

Yuan Gongchen was stunned, but he didn't expect this, seeing that Yuan Zhen and Ji Siqian both nodded slightly, and asked: "Qin Qing said that Hulan Iron Cavalry is so powerful, and what does it have to do with Xu Ruyu?" ”

Qin Ziqing smiled slightly and said, "So far, I have only discovered that only the Jiang Ning family has come up with a good strategy to deal with the Hulan Iron Cavalry. ”

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but ask, "What is the good policy?" ”

"After the appearance of the longbow and crossbow, the cavalry charged into battle, it is not so terrifying, the most important thing is the strategic mobile surname, only this mobile surname can make the rapid long-range delivery of troops a reality, and it is also the most daunting place of the Hulan iron cavalry. Xu Ruyu spared no effort to develop the water camp force from the beginning of his rise, which shows that Xu Ruyu regarded the water camp warship as a strategic tool comparable to the war cavalry for rapid and long-range delivery of troops. ”

Yuan Gongchen said: "However, after the Jinghai War, Jiangning no longer developed the water camp, not only the Gantang water camp was withdrawn, but the establishment of the Yongyang water camp was also reduced to 10,000 people. The dockyards in Jiangning, Yongyang, and Quanzhou also stopped building warships on a large scale. ”

Qin Ziqing smiled and said: "Xu Ruyu showed that the enemy was weak, so he tried to do it again, but some people couldn't see through it. ”

Yuan Gongchen's old face turned red and said, "But I can't figure out where Xu Ruyu hid the battleship?" ”

Yuan Zhen and Ji Siyi also felt the same way, how could they hide the docks for building various warships, but they didn't understand how Xu Ruyu showed weakness.

Qin Ziqing said: "Xu Ruyu revitalized HNA in Quanzhou, Yongyang, Gantang, Yi'an and other places, and the family knew the benefits of HNA, and they rushed to build ships and go to sea. The ships built can all resist the seafarers, and the surnames can be no worse than ordinary warships, and in case of emergency, Jiangning can requisition these ships. According to the usual practice, the Jiangning garrison and the water battalion were stationed in the same place, such as Jiangning, Zhenhai, Wuzhou, Quanzhou, Fengling and other places, all because it was convenient for the infantry battalion soldiers to practice water warfare. While warships and boats were used to cross the river, Jiangning looked forward to opening up a battlefield in the wide waters. ”

Seeing the horror on the faces of the three of them, Qin Ziqing continued: "Jiangning's method of raising soldiers cannot be learned by other families. It is like a water camp, with no more than 50,000 or 60,000 people, but it can be expanded to 100,000 in a few months, but it does not cost the army to raise troops. In addition, the system of military households and tuntian made Jiangning have sufficient troops, and the system of accumulating generals in the martial arts hall enabled Jiangning to expand the infantry battalion more than twice in a short period of time. "At first glance, Jiangning is weaker than Nanping, but in fact it is much stronger than Nanping, if Nanping is still allowed to sit big, it will only be a matter of three or five years." ”
