"Where did the petition come from? You can't let your father attack the marshal, right? Gao Yan frowned and asked.

"Let people rush to make a Lu Long's Li Zi banner, and don't do anything else." Gao Li said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, there will be a place for us to use force!" ”

"What? No way? Gao Wei said dissatisfiedly, he wondered if his younger brother was perfunctory to himself and his father, or he didn't know how to pretend to understand, and said nonsense.

On the contrary, Gao Yan's fingers tapped on the armrest, and his brows slowly relaxed. "Second brother, what you mean is that my father understands. It's a pity that your surname is too ruthless! ”

Hearing this, Gao Li nodded noncommittally. With his wisdom, he also understood what his father's unspoken words probably meant, wasn't it that if he could change a little, it would be best for him to take his father's position in the future.

Don't look at Gao Li as smart, but he is indifferent and ruthless. and the generals under Gao Yan, the relationship is either dull or the relationship has deteriorated. Unlike his brother Gao Wei, although he can be on the stage in addition to martial arts, his other abilities are very mediocre, but his surname is relatively peaceful, but he is in a league with Gao Yan's generals. Otherwise, in this troubled world, it may not be his eldest son's turn to take his father's place. Just like Du Ling's son, he had three sons, but he only let the younger son take over. Because these are troubled times, what is needed to survive is talent. The eldest son, can he be Zhuge Liang? Talent and wisdom are the last word.

"There's nothing to do, the child is gone!" Gao Li arched his hand to his father Gao Yan and eldest brother Gao Wei, saying that it was a question. But he didn't mean to ask for other people's opinions at all, and as soon as the words fell, he turned around and withdrew.

"You!" Seeing this, Gao Wei couldn't help but blush with anger, he is the most filial piety, and he can't see other people who are not filial, not to mention that this person is still his younger brother, and the object of unfilial piety is still his father.

"That's it! That's it! Gao Yan raised his hand and stopped Gao Wei's scolding, which had already reached his mouth. You don't know the second brother's surname, don't worry about him! ”

"Yes, Father!" Although Gao Wei was unwilling, he easily let go of his younger brother and didn't teach him a lesson. But this matter is open to his father, can he really disobey his father? There is only no choice but to respond. But suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Father, what did the second brother mean by what he just said?" Didn't you just start talking about casting names? How did it suddenly become silent, that is, to hang a flag. ”

"You're good at everything, you just don't think much about things." Gao Yan shook his head and taught his son a lesson.

Gao Wei was trained to be submissive, but it is estimated that the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out.

Gao Yan also knew what kind of material his son was, so he didn't teach him a lesson, and began to explain to Gao Wei: "As long as Huzhou surrenders Li Cunhuan, it's fine." What Li Cunhuan wanted was for Huzhou to help him guard the flanks and prevent Yang Xingmi from getting involved, so the rest of Li Cunhuan naturally didn't care. Speaking of soldiers and horses, the northerners are much stronger than the southerners, you see the martial arts under the command of Qian Bi, using Sun Ru's troops. Although there were only 5,000 people, under the leadership of Gu Quanwu, they conquered the south and the north and built the foundation of the thirteen states of Wuyue. There is also Yang Xingmi's Black Cloud Capital, which is composed of northerners, which shows the strength of the northerners. As for the vote, the flag is the vote. And it is certain that Yang Xingmi ordered Tian Hao and An Renyi to mix, and when we kill more Yang Xingmi, this is a complete vote! ”

If Gao Wei couldn't understand it at this time, he would really be stupid, and muttered: "What my father means is that Li Cunhuan wants us to cut ourselves off, Jieshuai (Qian Biao) and Yang Xingmi are all offended, so the only way to go all the way with him to the black!" ”

"Well, but there's no way around it now! Li Cunhuan is pacified, Wu Yue, it is already a doomed fact! There was a deep sense of powerlessness in Gao Yan's voice.

"How is that possible?" Gao Wei's voice was incredulous.

"Look...... The news will come soon! Because of one person. Gao Yan muttered.

"Who?" Gao Wei asked incredulously, "Is it Zhou Yanpet?" I heard that he is now the chief mastermind under Li Cunhuan! ”

"Yes...... Prevent...... Edge! Gao Yan's voice was filled with countless gloom.

…… Hangzhou ......

"It deserves to be the first city in Jiangdong!" Li Cunhuan rode his horse on the gem mountain in the northwest of Hangzhou, from here, you can see Hangzhou like a waist drum, at that time some people jokingly called Hangzhou the waist drum city, this is the reason. To the south, you can see the world-famous West Lake.

Du Ling looked at this Hangzhou city with complicated eyes, and when he saw him again, Du Ling didn't know what it was like, or, all the flavors!

"Tengyun (Du Lingzi), how do you think it's good to attack this city?" Li Cunhuan asked.

"No matter how strong a city is, it can't withstand an internal attack!" Du Ling half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can plan against the martial arts and make it decay!" ”

"Wu Yongdu? Can Gu Quanwu be rebelled by this king? Li Cunhuan asked in disbelief, Gu Quanwu is the number one general under Qian Biao, born in Qian Biao's most trusted inner tooth, and he is also the commander of Wu Yongdu.

When Du Ling heard this, he showed a puzzled look on Li Cunhuan's face, and was surprised that such a look appeared on Du Ling's face.

"Doesn't Your Highness know the news that Gu Quanwu has died?" Du Ling asked.

"What? Gu Quanwu is dead? Sick and dead? Li Cunhuan subconsciously said, in his opinion, Gu Quanwu could only die of illness. I'm sorry that Li Cunhuan looks down on Huainan's generals. It's really Gu Quanwu's ability is too outstanding, and he has won every time since he led the troops alone, and he has not been defeated once, not even if it was a draw. In Li Cunhuan's view, Yang Xingmi asked his first general, Li Shenfu, to send troops, and most of the battles between Gu Quanwu and Li Shenfu were draws, even if they were defeated, they were only small defeats.

"To be precise, it should have been killed by Li Shenfu! However, it can also be regarded as a death from illness. Du Ling opened his mouth to explain.

What does that mean? And how could Li Shenfu kill Gu Quanwu? This is Gu Quanwu, even this king has heard of his reputation in the north. And when did it happen, how did this king not know? Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, could it be that Du Ling deceived himself? If it is even more impossible in the near future, Yang Xingmi is stuck in Shandong, and he still dares to fight on two fronts? Besides, if he has the guts, he must also have the ability. If it weren't for the recent incident, it stands to reason that Jin Yiwei would have sent the news over.

Du Ling also heard the meaning of Li Cunhuan's words, his face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! His Royal Highness means to suspect that Du Ling deceived His Highness, since His Highness thinks so, Du Ling has nothing to say, please deal with it! ”

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he hurriedly persuaded him: "It's the king who is wrong, Tengyun, don't lose your temper." Who is without fault! ”

When Du Ling heard this, his face softened, but his voice was still a little stiff, but he also said the reason for Gu Quanwu's death. "In February last year!"

Feng Baodu on the side hurriedly interjected: "At that time, the Jinyi Guard's manpower was concentrated in Hedong!" ”

What Feng Baodu meant by this was that they were all working hard for the Battle of Hedong, so they would naturally ignore other places, not to mention Wu Yue, who was already weak in Jinyiwei. The places where Jinyi Wei made the most fine works are Hedong and Xuanwu, followed by the Huaihe River area and Guanzhong in Huainan, and other places are just sowing seeds, the power is not strong, and even basic information is difficult to get, Wu Yue is this type.

Du Ling glanced at Feng Baodu, and then said: "At that time, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that the festival is handsome...... That is, money...... Qian Biao (Du Ling is not quite used to calling Qian Biao by his name) is dead. Yang Xingmi sent Li Shenfu to lead troops from Shuzhou to attack Wuyue, numbering 80,000. ”

"Shuzhou? Li Shenfu? It seems that Huainan is not so calm and united on the surface! Li Cunhuan touched his chin and muttered. Li Cunhuan's words are not unfounded, Shuzhou is now Qianshan, located in the southwest of Anhui. and Hangzhou, located in Zhejiang, has a straight-line distance of more than 700 miles. If it is a road distance, it is more than 900 miles and almost a thousand miles away. But Yang Xingmi has no other choice?

No, close to Wu Yue, there are Ning Guojiedu envoy Tian Hao and Runzhou An Renyi, both of whom are not weak. An Renyi has a world-famous Runzhou crossbowman, with more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the envoy of Ningguo Jie in Tian Bao, according to Xuan, She, and Chi Sanzhou, the soldiers and horses under his command are fully mobilized and nearly 30,000 people. Moreover, Xuanzhou in Tian and Ruzhou in Anrenyi also border Wu Yue, and the nearest distance is only 200 miles, and the road is smooth, and it is not a problem to march 100 miles. It is better to send troops from thousands of miles away. Besides, although the soldiers and horses under the command of Li Shenfu are claimed to be 80,000 people, they are not necessarily more than the soldiers and horses under the command of Tian Hao and An Renyi. It is claimed that there are 80,000 people, squeezing out the water, whether there is a quarter or not, Li Cunhuan thinks that this is a problem.

Li Cunhuan, who is familiar with the battlefield, knows that anyone who has an army of n million can squeeze out the water and be general, and he is already honest. Even if it's only one-tenth, Li Cunhuan won't be surprised. Because the ancients liked to exaggerate, in addition, the army is not necessarily full of soldiers, and there are people, these people may even be more than soldiers, and there are some shortages in the army, etc., except for them, there are not many people who can really go to the battlefield. Not to mention the beneficial factors such as the soldiers and horses under the command of Tian Hao and An Renyi who are familiar with the environment and fight more with Wu Yue.

From here, Li Cunhuan can see that Yang Xingmi was quite jealous of Tian Hao and An Renyi, and in order to prevent them from expanding their power, he did not hesitate to transfer troops from thousands of miles away. Otherwise, how good it would be to directly let Li Shenfu travel lightly to Xuanzhou and Runzhou, with Li Shenfu's prestige, I am afraid that Tian Hao and An Renyi will have much resistance, after all, it is the two of them who will lay the ground.

"Your Highness is wise!" Du Ling said in a deep voice.

Li Cunhuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about Tian Hao and An Renyi in a while, how did Gu Quanwu die of illness?" Or how was he killed by Li Shenfu. ”

"Speaking of which, it's also timely! Fate! Luck also! Du Ling sighed, and then said: "At that time, Gu Quanwu was arrogant and set up Bazhai to resist Li Shenfu, Li Shenfu attacked for a few days, and without the slightest progress, he asked people to prepare the class teacher, which is really a trick!" ”

"This Gu Quanwu is too stupid! Such a simple ploy has also been won! Wang Maozhang, who was on the side, sneered. He had never fought against Gu Quanwu, but he had heard a lot about Gu Quanwu's reputation, so he was instinctively hostile.

Du Ling also ignored Wang Maozhang's cynicism, shook his head and said, "Where is it so simple!" At that time, the captured Wu Yue soldiers fled, and Li Shenfu did not chase after him, and after a few days, Li Shenfu really retreated. But Gu Quanwu was very cautious and sent troops to hang far away. But Li Shenfu had already had a trick, and the first to go was the weak soldiers. His elite soldiers and horses lay in ambush on the green hills halfway through. And it happens that this time ......"

Du Ling originally wanted to say that he was handsome, but suddenly thought that now that he was already a person under Li Cunhuan, he naturally couldn't use this respectful title, so he hurriedly changed his words and said: "Qian Biao, but he sent someone to let Gu Quanwu send troops to pursue him." This was an ambush, Gu Quanwu led 5,000 soldiers and horses to be trapped in the valley, and the soldiers and horses outside the valley made Xu Zaisi somehow, some people said that Xu Zaisi fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he couldn't attack the valley. But some people say that Xu Zaisi is jealous of Gu Quanwu, and hopes that after Gu Quanwu dies, he, the general who ranks second in martial arts, will become the commander of the capital. Anyway, in the end, Xu Zaisi couldn't save Gu Quanwu, and Gu Quanwu was naturally captured by Li Shenfu. But I don't know what the reason is, Qian Bi believed the latter one, and scolded Xu Zaisi fiercely after the war, but for various reasons, the evidence was insufficient, and Gu Quanwu was captured, Wu Yue's strongest martial arts were all mastered by Xu Zaisi, and Qian Bi did not punish Xu Zaisi in the end. ”

"Qian Biao is not doing it right here! Obviously, he has already moved to kill Xu Zaisi, so he should be decisively killed, so as not to leave a big trouble for his henchmen. But Tengyun, what did you just say, saying that Gu Quanwu was killed by Li Shenfu? Li Cunhuan asked suspiciously.

Li Shenfu did not kill Gu Quanwu in the end, probably because Yang Xingmi wanted to befriend Qian Biao and sent Gu Quanwu back, and Qian Biao naturally reciprocated Li by returning the former Huainan general Suzhou Assassin Shi Qin Pei who had been captured before, and then asked his fifth son Qian Yuanqian to marry Tian Hao's daughter and become a proton. Not long after, Yang Xingmi asked his daughter to marry Qian Bi's younger brother Qian Jiao. Du Ling shook his head and spoke.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he patted his thigh, and suddenly realized: "This king was strange at the beginning, how could Yang Xingmi be brave enough to go north, not afraid of a fire in the backyard!" It turned out that he was married to Qian Biao! also beat Qian Biao hard, and Gu Quanwu has a division. But how did Gu Quanwu die? It's not that I put it back. ”

Du Ling lowered his head noncommittally, and then said: "It's all because Gu Quanwu is arrogant. In addition, he said that he killed the generals in the Huainan Army, who did not have any relatives and friends in the army, although he was not tortured, he was not less insulted in the Huainan Army. After coming back, except for the beginning of meeting Qian Biao, he closed the door. The next day, his family invited the doctor to come, and the doctor came out, and Qian Biao specially sent someone to summon the doctor, which was said to be a heart disease, which caused the recurrence of old injuries on the battlefield for many years. Qian Biao sent many famous doctors to diagnose and treat, but it was useless, and he was released from the Huainan army, but within five days, Gu Quanwu died of grief and anger. For this reason, Qian Biao reformed the Wuyong capital, changed the left and right Wuyong soldiers and horses, let the original soldiers and horses Xu Zaisi be the left soldiers and horses, and promoted Sun Ru's old general Xu Juan to the right soldiers and horses. ”

"I'm afraid Li Shenfu did it on purpose!" When Li Cunhuan heard this, he shook his head, not knowing whether to sigh that there was one less general in this world, or whether he should be happy that he had one less big enemy in his southern expedition. As for Gu Quanwu, Li Shenfu is the commander in the army, if he treats Gu Quanwu well, he will send people to protect him closely. The generals under him, even if they have a deep hatred like the sea, can they still kill the soldiers sent by Li Shenfu and break into the tent to kill Gu Quanwu? Otherwise, let alone the insult, Gu Quanwu would have died a long time ago.

"Your Highness is really thorough in seeing the real thing!" Du Ling sighed.

"It's not thorough, it's just that Li Shenfu is not kind to this thing, I'm afraid not only this king, I'm afraid Tengyun also knows!" Li Cunhuan looked at Du Ling with a smile.

When Du Ling heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and Li Cunhuan saw through his thoughts.

"But in this way, it is easy to rebel against Xu Zaisi, but what about Xu Xuan? He is the right soldier and horse envoy, and he has at least two or three soldiers and horses in his hands, if he informes, or restrains him, Xu Zaisi may not dare to make money and rebellion, even if he dares, I am afraid that he will fall short in the end! Li Cunhuan touched his chin and muttered.

When Du Ling heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "This highness doesn't have to worry, alas! Speaking of which, too, are for the people of us...... Alas! ”

"What's wrong?" Li Cunhuan couldn't help but be curious when he saw Du Ling's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

Du Ling sighed, and stopped without saying anything. "Your Highness knows the difference between the guest army and the Turkish army?"

"Guest? Turkish army? Li Cunhuan frowned slightly and muttered.

Wang Maozhang, who was still on the side, knew, and said: "There is no such situation in His Royal Highness's army, in fact, it is mainly because of the language barrier and the local complex, the army is divided into guest army and Turkish army, the guest army is naturally an army composed of foreign soldiers, and the Turkish army is an army composed of local soldiers. There are many contradictions between the two sides. Generally speaking, the southern guest army is composed of mostly northerners, such as Yang Xingmi's Heiyundu and Qian Bi's Wuyongdu, which were incorporated by Sun Ru's Caizhou soldiers who surrendered. These people are brave and good at fighting, and in order to appease them, the adults above naturally need to give more money and silk, and in order to make them rein, they have to give land. This undoubtedly harmed the interests of the local soldiers, who were naturally hostile. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Maozhang glanced at Li Cunhuan, and then said: "In order to fight against the Turkish army, the guest army naturally gathered together, competing for merit on the battlefield, competing for water in the fields, and fighting for wind and jealousy in the battalion (female branch), anyway, there are countless contradictions. Even His Highness's command had this situation, but under His Highness's mediation, nothing major happened. In the South, however, there are many problems. ”

Wang Maozhang's words are not exaggerated, in history, Xu Zaisi and Xu Juan launched a rebellion, led Tian Hao to come, and once attacked the city of Hangzhou, and finally because Yang Xingmi was afraid of Tian Bao's power expansion, he forced Tian Hao to retreat. Qian Biao also reciprocated the favor, and when he said that Tian Hao rebelled, he also sent troops to attack Tian Hao's rear.

Even so, Wu Yongdu broke out again in the Chen Barrier Rebellion, and almost paid the Qian Biao regime. This time, it was also supported by Yang Xingmi. compressed Qian Biao to the point that only seven or eight states remained, but in the end, because of Yang Xingmi's illness and death, followed by the turmoil in the Wu regime, Qian Biao was able to turn the situation back.

Li Cunhuan nodded and said, "These are a breakthrough for Xu Juan to cooperate." However, this matter is not very certain! ”

When Du Ling heard this, he smiled and said, "That, in June and July this year, at that time, a few of our old men in Badu persuaded Qian Biao to let Wu Yongdu go to the field to dredge the ditch!" ”

"Ditch?" Li Cunhuan, who is not familiar with agricultural terminology, asked suspiciously.

"It's the waterway between the fields!" Du Ling hurriedly explained.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, he immediately understood how hot the weather was in June and July, and he went to the unobstructed fields and bent over to dredge the waterways. This dredge order, it is strange that the soldiers of Wuyongdu do not take off a layer of skin, and Wuyongdu is still composed of northerners, I am afraid that there are many people who are not adapted to the heat and suffer from heat stroke. Qian Biao also had a lesson about the thoughts of these proud soldiers who refused to serve their lives on the battlefield and let Gu Quanwu die of humiliation. But when it comes to the proud soldiers of Wuyongdu, I am afraid that everyone will be resentful, no wonder Du Ling said it so surely, but at the beginning he wanted to stop talking.

Li Cunhuan turned his head sideways and instructed Feng Baodu with a smile: "You send someone to contact the fine work in Hangzhou, and let them plot against Xu Zaisi and Xu Xuan." Don't say that there is no Jinyiwei stronghold in Hangzhou! ”

Li Cunhuan said that he was a little dissatisfied. Because of the death of Jinyi Wei and Gu Quanwu, almost a year has passed, and he has not returned it to himself. If he hadn't personally marched south and subdued Du Ling, it is estimated that he would not have known about this matter in that year and month.

Feng Baodu saw that Li Cunhuan was dissatisfied, and he also resented it in his heart, not that he resented Li Cunhuan, he didn't dare, and he couldn't, this matter was indeed Jinyiwei's ineffectiveness. Feng Baodu resented the Jinyi Wei in Wu Yue. He also didn't trust Wu Yuejin's ability anymore, and even he wondered if he was bought by Qian Bi. Feng Baodu then opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, I'll go to this matter personally!" Otherwise, there is some anxiety. ”

Li Cunhuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It's okay for you to go out in person, but in Hangzhou, the guys under your command are all beaten with twenty military sticks, and they are paralyzed!" Such an important matter, it is just that Lu Long can't be fed back! How long has this king been coming to Wu Yue, and he hasn't been notified of his arrival! ”

"Yes, please rest assured that Your Highness is doing this!" Feng Baodu's face became more and more gloomy, and he hated the Jinyi guard in Hangzhou to grit his teeth, and rarely did not intercede for his subordinates. You must know that Jinyiwei is very united, and if there is any punishment, Feng Baodu will either directly or tactfully want Li Cunhuan to ask for mercy, although it is not successful every time, but it is better than nothing. This rare lack of intercession can be imagined Feng Baodu's hatred.

Li Cunhuan saw that Feng Baodu was so knowledgeable and interesting, so he didn't say much, turned his horse's head, and prepared to go back to the camp to pick up a pen and write to persuade Xu Zaisi and Xu Juan to surrender the letters.
