The place where the alliance met was arranged on the flagship of the Anlan docked at the Mengjin ferry, and the giant five-story ship with a height of more than ten zhang and a length of more than 50 zhang was just docked at the ferry, which attracted the stunned officers and men of the Jianghuai Army sent by Wang Shichong to the labor army. Although most of the Jianghuai army were Jianghuai people, and many of them were from the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River and were accustomed to seeing boats, it was the first time that everyone had seen such a huge warship.

The flagship of the Anlan is the flagship of the Anlan fleet among the four fleets of the Liaodong Naval Division, and unlike the two offshore fleets of Zhenhai and Nutao, the Anlan fleet is a naval fleet that specializes in traveling between the offshore sea and the Yangtze River and lakes. Because they specialize in the Yangtze River and offshore waters, there is no need to worry too much about storms at sea, and the construction of warships is also different from those of the two fleets. The characteristics of the Anlan fleet are tall and large, and the building ship is the characteristic of the Anlan fleet.

The five-story Wuya battleship, the three-story Yellow Dragon battleship, and the two-story Qinglong battleship. These warships are more than ten zhang high and dozens of zhang long at every turn, as if they are moving cities on water. In order to transport soldiers to the greatest extent possible for the sake of safety, Zhang Zhongjian specially transferred the Anlan fleet, which has the strongest transportation capacity among the four fleets, and transferred many warships from the other three fleets to form a huge fleet this time, transporting a full 50,000 soldiers and horses at one time.

"It's a little early, Your Highness." When Chen Kefu took Chen Lei and several gold-armored guards onto the fifth deck of the Anlan and had a panoramic view of the entire Mengjin Ferry, Chen Lei reminded.

The fifth floor of the Anlan is like the gate tower of a city. The eaves of the cornices, the top layer painted bright yellow, and the open view. Chen Kefu's Chen character Daxu has been hung on the top of the high mast, and there is a flag embroidered with the word Anlan on the side. Chen Zi Daxu is high in the wind, and the hunting sounds.

Standing there, Chen Kefu could clearly see the Yellow River circling like a brocade ribbon, and even Mengjin City, which was not far away. In the morning breeze, the sound of the Yellow River water is loud, and the ubiquitous breeze brings the unique fishy smell of the Yellow River water from all around.

The Liaodong soldiers who came ashore were dividing into a team and cutting down all the trees between the Mengjin ferry on the north bank and the Mengjin city. The craftsmen who accompanied the army used the felled trees to build a water camp, make catapults, and make fires for cooking and heating. Year after year, from ancient times to the present, the trees on this shore have been cut down by many troops passing by.

King Wu of Zhou fought and allied with the princes twice. This is one, King Wu to the Zhou Dynasty Shang. Thousands of years later, he himself arrived here, and he also joined the three families.

If that abnormal astrological sign is really a sign of heaven in the underworld, then I hope that heaven can bless him, and this alliance can go smoothly.

Looking at the tall and fluttering Chen Zi Daxu, Chen Lei was very nervous. Although he was also a general, his duty was not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but to protect the safety of King Chen. Even if something went wrong, he couldn't forgive himself.

The son of a daughter can't sit down. He still remembers what happened in Luoyang, and he escaped death several times, which makes him unable to sleep at night when he thinks about it. In his opinion, it was an unwise choice to go deep into Mengjin this time. If you really want to make an alliance with Wang Shichong and Li Yuan, you can directly send someone to take them to Jijun. Although Ki is also an enclave surrounded by enemy forces, it is much safer than running all the way to Hanoi.

Although he also felt that Wang Shichong and Li Yuan couldn't do anything now, Wang Shichong and Li Yuan were not the only ones here. A little to the west, there are Yang Xuan's soldiers and horses, and to the south, there are Li Mi's soldiers and horses. Either way, the two of them wouldn't be polite right now. If I knew that King Chen had arrived in Mengjin, I was afraid that he would not miss this opportunity. …,

"Now it is Wang Shichong and Li Yuan who have a request for us, why should His Highness go to Mengjin in person." Chen Lei persuaded, "Your Highness had already taken a lot of risks by leaving a large army in Hengshan County and running to Ji County alone. At present, without consulting with the generals and ministers of the court, he went all the way to Mengjin, which was really a useless adventure in the eyes of his humble position. ”

"We've been taking risks." Chen Kefu stroked the female wall of the real estate with his hand, his eyes staring farther to the west, "Do you really think I want to come here?" He let out a long sigh, "No one really likes this kind of adventure with their lives in their hands. I don't like it, not at all. If possible, I would prefer to stay in Kyoto, where there are my beloved women and my beloved children. Wouldn't it be better to sit in a luxurious palace and review the recitals every day? ”

"Entrepreneurship is always like this, Chen Lei, thinking about the time when we were in Liaodong, we have all come over to more difficult and difficult days. At that time, when was there a day when we were not disarmed? Although our situation is good at the moment, we must not be careless in fighting for the world. Li Yuan and Wang Shichong are very important to us, and Hebei still has a long way to go if it wants to win the world. You don't know the previous relationship between the Li family and me, if I don't come in person, who can guarantee that Li Yuan will cooperate with us with confidence? ”

Across the fields and rocky hills of the spring snow, he saw the rushing Yellow River rushing all the way east. On the north shore stands the tall and sturdy city of Monjin,

It completely obscures the mountains behind it. Under those light gray boulders, he seemed to see Wang Shichong's tired Jianghuai army, as well as the cities of Hedong in the farther north, Changping, Shangzhang, Taiyuan, and Yanmen

"Your Highness." A golden-armored guard pointed to the distance to the north, and a cloud of smoke and dust moved in the direction of Damengjin City. From a distance, in the smoke and dust, you can still see the flag raised high and looming in the smoke and dust. "It should be the father and son of the Li family, they have arrived."

"That's right," Chen Kefu looked there, and in order to see more clearly, he took a clairvoyant mirror and looked at it carefully.

The smoke seemed to be huge, but there weren't many of them. Chen Kefu could see at a glance that there were only dozens of people coming. The knights on the horse were dressed in tattered armor, and the knights at the front were still flying a few flags. But the flags were also tattered, peeling in color and stained. In the exhibition of the flag, you can vaguely see the Tang characters and Li characters on the flag.

The procession came quickly, and dozens of horsemen were soon stopped in front of the dock. A team of Hebei sergeants stepped forward to inquire, but they had no intention of letting them come over for a while. Chen Kefu had already seen from the clairhand mirror that it was Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng who was stopped outside the camp.

"Chen Lei, pass my warrant down, let Li Jiancheng come over, don't embarrass them." Chen Kefu put away the clairvoyant mirror and turned to Chen Leidao. Fortunately, it was Li Jiancheng who came, if it was Li Shimin's guy who was stopped just now, it is estimated that this kid would definitely have to make trouble.

Since he had already had a way to deal with the Li family, Chen Kefu no longer cared about some trivial things on the surface. To deal with the Li family, you have to erase them fundamentally, instead of playing some superficial simple games like children.

After a while, Chen Lei took the dusty Li Jiancheng to the fifth deck of the Anlan.

When he got closer, Chen Kefu saw that it was not only Li Jiancheng who had arrived, but also Li Yuan, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning. Just now, I only saw Li Jiancheng who was negotiating in front, but I didn't expect that all four members of the Li family had arrived.

After not seeing him for a long time, Li Yuan was much haggard again, he was wearing a purple and gold crown on his head, and his hair and beard were mostly gray. The whole person has also weakened a lot, and his dry face and eye sockets have sunken. Standing there, his back was also a little rickety, and his body was covered with a purple mink fur, but at this time this precious cloak was covered with stains, not only broken in several places, but even the coagulated blood stains on it could be seen in several places. Under the cloak, there is a python jade belt, which has also lost its original color. …,

"King Chen!" As soon as Li Yuan came up, he immediately stepped forward a few steps, his knees weakened, and he knelt directly in front of Chen Kefu.

Li Yuan made this big gift, which made everyone stunned for a moment. Although Li Yuan has actually become a homeless dog, on the surface, his daughter Li Xiuning is still Chen Kefu's wife, and in the previous letter to him, Chen Kefu also stated that he would still retain Li Yuan's title of Tang King in the future. Chen Kefu's current public identity is King Chen of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Yuan is the King of Tang, and the two are equal.

How inappropriate is it for him to make this great gift. But he didn't hesitate at all, and came up to make this great gift.

Chen Kefu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to help. Halfway through, though, he stopped. He sat on the chair and laughed a few times, withdrew his outstretched hand, and changed it to a false support, "Why does King Tang need to be like this, please get up quickly, this king can't afford it." ”

Li Yuan saw Chen Kefu wanting to get up and help him before, and his heart was happy. But when he saw Chen Kefu sitting there with a big sting, he calmly accepted his big gift, and a coldness flashed in his lowered eyes.

That action just now was just a temptation on his part. Although he is now here to seek refuge with Chen Kefu, he still can't judge Chen Kefu's true thoughts. Just after that ceremony, if Chen Kefu refuses to accept it, it will make him a little more defensive in his heart. But Chen Kefu accepted it safely, which can only show two problems, the first is that Chen Kefu doesn't care about himself at all, maybe he has already made up his mind and brought himself here just to catch them all, so he doesn't care about his attitude and views at all.

Another possibility is that Chen Kefu no longer takes him to heart, thinking that he can no longer threaten him. That's why I didn't care about my feelings at all, and accepted that big gift. This shows that Chen Kefu wants to use the action just now to show him the status of the two in the future.

In just a few moments, several thoughts flashed in his heart, and Li Yuan's heart was extremely complicated for a while. On the contrary, he couldn't guess what Chen Kefu's idea was.
