In this regard, Qiu Yizhi of course agreed, so he ordered the army to ring the golden bell and signaled the whole army to slowly retreat.

Zheng Xin Yaoyao heard the sound of collecting troops on the opposite side, and he was also relieved, and also ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, in addition to leaving heavy troops to defend against the enemy's sneak attack, the rest of the men and horses chose a suitable site to set up a camp, and ordered half of the rafts docked in Jiangbei to stay in place, and half to return to Jiangnan to continue to transport grain, grass and baggage across the river.

When Qiu Yizhi returned to his forehead, he was sweating profusely because of the hot air, and after a few breaths, he said to Lin Shuhan, who was the counselor with him: "Zheng Xin is really difficult to deal with, and he actually mobilized all his troops to Jiangbei at once. Now Zheng Xin's advantage over our army's strength is too great, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win......"

Lin Shuhan was also sweating, he couldn't stop fanning the paper fan in his hand, and replied: "That's natural, Zheng Xin was once ordered to lead the military affairs of Shanxi Province, although he can't compete with the old Lingnan prince, but he can be regarded as a handsome person who can take charge of himself." It's no surprise that we can perform like this today. ”

Qiu Yizhi carefully savored Lin Shuhan's words, and sighed: "Mr. Lin's words are to the point. Thinking about coming to my half of my life, I met people with slightly mediocre talents, such as Zheng Yao, Wen Honghui, etc., and I could probably overcome them. And when he met those people who were slightly superior in martial arts and wisdom, such as the prince of Lingnan and Marshal Dai, they never won. Alas! It seems that this Zheng Xin also has some real talent, it seems that I took the liberty of luring him to Jiangbei, maybe it was too much......"

"Mr. Bansong" Lin Shuhan is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he has never had a word "lose" or "fear" in his heart, so he is a confidant of a person like Qiu Yizhi, who is also arrogant.

But today, listening to the words of his confidant, Lin Shuhan seemed to be a little shaken, and Lin Shuhan realized what a difficult opponent he was facing.

But Lin Shuhan is now Qiu Yizhi's military advisor, but above his duty, he can't help but cheer for Qiu Yizhi, only to hear him pretend to smile lightly: "When have you ever been so discouraged?" According to the students, Zheng Xin may not be able to have any great talents. If he really had real talent and learning, then the first emperor would have passed the throne directly to him. The students thought that this Zheng Xin was strong on the outside and dry in the middle, but it was an embroidered pillow......"

Before Uncle Lin finished speaking, he heard Qiu Yizhi sigh again, and said: "I know Zheng Xin, and the first emperor has evaluated him in front of me more than once. It is always said that Zheng Xin learns from the first emperor everywhere, but he only learns a scratch ...... But Emperor Wen Taowu is such a heroic figure, it is very rare to be able to learn a little bit of his old man's skin......"

Lin Shuhan said: "Why do adults need to be so ambitious and destroy their own prestige? According to what you say, seeing Zheng Xin's army pressing the border, what kind of battle is there going to fight, just surrender, it's really troublesome. Don't forget, adults, even if a scholar like me surrenders to Zheng Xin, it is not difficult to save his life by begging for mercy. Zhao Chengxiao is a big deal, and then he falls into the grass, and Yu Chi Jiming is a person in the martial arts who also has a place for self-preservation. But my lord, and Miss Wen behind the adult, once this step is wrong, there will be a cliff behind her, and the so-called death without burial is the current situation of the adult. ”

Qiu Yi nodded while listening to Lin Shuhan's words: "I understand what Mr. Lin said......

"Oh? Do all adults really understand? Lin Shuhan said, "If the adult really understands, in the face of a strong enemy like Zheng Xin, the adult should show twelve points of sharpness and fight with him." 'Do it when you know you can't do it', that's what a big husband does. What's more, Zheng Xin's every move now was expected by the adults in advance, but it was just a little faster and a little bigger, in fact, the changes were not very big, Lin really didn't know what the adults were discouraged about. ”

Lin Shuhan's words really woke up Qiu Yizhi, slapped the table and said, "Mr. Lin is really reasonable. Zheng Xin's actions were indeed swift and atmospheric, but they were just quickly and generously drilled into my pocket. Even so, I naturally have to take action, and I can't let Zheng Xin act recklessly. ”

After that, Qiu Yi slapped the table and greeted loudly: "Someone! I'm going to herald! ”

Qiu Yizhi and Zheng Xin's nearly 500,000-strong army confronted each other for five days in this small open space along the river in Xuzhou, Shandong. During this period, both sides were on guard against the opponent's sneak attack, but neither dared to attack the opponent rashly, and a battlefield that was about to turn into a sea of blood turned into the core of the storm in these five days, but it seemed extremely calm.

Finally, on the day of "Xiaoman", a round and bright moon slowly sank into the western horizon, and a round of rolling red sun could not wait to rise from the east, as if to take a look at the world for the fleeting fame and fortune of the desperate struggle.

The uneasy hearts of the armies on both sides calmed down before the final battle began. After eating a specially added breakfast of a few meat dishes, countless soldiers, under the urging of the generals, put on neatly and prepared their weapons without any opinions, began to arrange their formations, and waited calmly and numbly for the judgment of fate.

In such a formation, the armies and generals of the two sides do not know how many times they have practiced it, although it is inevitable that they will encounter occasional mistakes, and the formation is quite stable, but in an hour, the armies of the two sides will face each other in an extremely tight and neat formation, but they do not dare to act rashly, and strive to suppress the murderous spirit and excitement in their stomachs, and try their best to maintain a formation that is about to break out.

There are less than 100,000 infantry troops on Qiu Yizhi's side, which is much smaller than the more than 200,000 troops on Zheng Xin's side.

However, Zheng Xin didn't dare to be careless, he had already received information, saying that Qiu Yizhi had requisitioned 20,000 iron cavalry from the Bohai Kingdom to help in the battle, but today he was obviously not in the battle, and he was undoubtedly going to use it as a surprise soldier and a trump card, and use it at the most critical time, until he died.

Suddenly, I heard a war drum beating in the formation of Qiuyi, as if it was a muffled thunder rolling in the sky, and as the sound of war drums gradually subsided, a bright yellow clawless golden dragon flag rose from the flagpole in the array, and a bright yellow umbrella cover appeared in the center of the formation.

And under the umbrella cover, a person sits on the dragon chariot, and the clothes on his body are also a bright yellow color glowing with the sun's brilliance - it is the current emperor Zheng Qi. Ironically, the person who was in front of the emperor was actually the emperor's biological father Zheng Xin.

When Zheng Xin saw this scene on the other side, his heart tightened, and he was about to make further observations, but he heard a shout from in front of him: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" With the tsunami-like sound of "long live" from the mountain, the soldiers on the opposite side all knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor to say goodbye.

After the ceremony, he saw a general in the Qiuyi array riding out of his horse and reprimanded loudly: "Do you want to rebel?" The emperor is here, how dare he not kneel? This general is the "black-necked toad" who came out to shout a few days ago. This "black-necked toad" has a very loud voice, although his shout cannot be heard clearly by all the soldiers of Zheng Xin's department, but at least the tens of thousands of horses in front of him can hear the truth, and the formation is a little flustered for a while.

Zheng Xin hurriedly ordered the order to go down left and right, saying that the people in the opposite array were the puppet emperors set up by Qiu Yi's disobedience, and there was no need to bow to him. He ordered the ban, and the team instantly regained stability.

When Qiu Yizhi heard the situation, he said to Emperor Zheng Qi: "Your Majesty, it seems that the enemy army is in full swing, and you can't help but go over and suppress it." Please also ask the emperor to go to the front of the battle, so that the traitors can see what the real dragon son is! ”

Zheng Qi was less than ten years old, and he was timid and cowardly by nature, so he hurriedly refused: "Everything is advocated by my uncle, I just came to see a lively scene, so I don't have to go to the front of the battle, right?" ”

Qiu Yizhi's eyes were horizontal, and he said, "The emperor's words are wrong. At that time, although the first emperor went north to the grassland, he had a bloody battle with the Turkic Shan Yu Biximi in Mantou Mountain. At that time, the minister was only eight years old, and he was able to make suggestions for the first emperor's reference. Now that the emperor is ten years old, and he is a genius, how can he just watch from the wall in this big war? ”

Although Zheng Qi was the emperor, he was publicly accused by Qiu Yizhi, who was a courtier, and his face was already red with shame, and he lowered his head and couldn't speak.

But he heard Qiu Yizhi say again: "The emperor doesn't have to worry about the danger before the battle. Mo said that the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he naturally has the protection of God, and the ministers have sent so many elite soldiers to guard him on the left and right, and there is absolutely no danger. ”

Saying that, Qiu Yizhi's face sank, and he shouted: "What? Don't you want to escort the emperor to the front to sweep the formation? ”

In this way, the emperor Zheng Qi, who was the king of a country, was both escorted and coerced by Qiu Yizhi to the front line of the battle between the two armies.

So Qiu Yizhi called the loud "black-necked toad" next to him and shouted at the enemy: "The emperor has arrived, and Zheng Xin has not come out to greet him?" ”

When Zheng Xin heard the news, he wanted to see the reality of Qiu Yizhi with his own eyes, so he also came to the front of the battle under the escort of the army, and saw that the person above the imperial chariot, under the canopy, and wearing a dragon robe was his youngest son Zheng Chao, who was very familiar with him, and suddenly his heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and various complex emotions such as gratification, resentment, and regret were intertwined.

Qiu Yizhi saw that Zheng Xin's expression seemed to be a little ambiguous from a distance, and knew that he had called up the emperor's strategy to disturb Zheng Xin's mind, which had played some role, so he smiled proudly and said loudly: "Zheng Xin, the emperor is here, if you still think that you are a descendant of the Zheng family and a member of the Han family, you should quickly kneel down and beg for mercy." The emperor may still be able to be lenient! ”

After all, Zheng Xin was not an ordinary person, so he immediately stabilized his mind and scolded loudly: "Zheng Qi, what are you messing around?" Why don't you hurry up and return to Luoyang, the capital? ”

Zheng Xin has always been strict in educating his son, Zheng Qi was a little scared, and hurriedly agreed: "Father ......"

But the word "pro" in his mouth was only half of what he said, and he was interrupted by Qiu Yizhi: "Your Majesty, please be careful when you speak." The person in front of you is a traitor who you don't share, but not your father, your father is Zheng Miao, the Third Highness. Don't forget! ”

Zheng Qi was a cowardly child, and when he heard Qiu Yizhi's words, he neither dared to agree, nor did he dare not agree, and lowered his head with the crown again.

Seeing this, Zheng Xin immediately reprimanded: "Qiu Yizhi, how did you speak to the emperor? Do you still look like a courtier? ”

Qiu Yizhi immediately grabbed Zheng Xin's words and said: "You said this well, Zheng Qi is the emperor, and he is the emperor who will ascend to the pole after holding the Great Funeral Ceremony of the Great Emperor!" It is an emperor who is supported by the empress dowager and the empress! He is the emperor of the world! The emperor as a matter of course! Now that the emperor is on a personal expedition, he is going to ask you, a traitor who killed the king and slaughtered his brother and slaughtered his brother, why don't you immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy? ”

Zheng Xin was speechless by Qiu Yizhi's series of interrogations, but he just said the word "emperor" from his mouth, and he really couldn't refute half a word.
