In this way, Qiu Yizhi in Jiangbei and Zheng Xin in Jiangnan fought a pen battle across the surging Yangtze River. This battle is related to who the hearts of the people in the world belong to, and it is more important than the duel on the battlefield where you come and go, and you have real swords and guns. Therefore, for those trivial government affairs in daily life, Qiu Yizhi did not ask Uncle Lin to ask, and wrote articles to deal with Zheng Xin's strong words. Lin Shuhan was stimulated to be a bookseller, and he didn't have to work the case, so he was also happy to dance and write all day long, and compete with Jiangnan Zheng Xin for the short and long of his tongue.

After arguing like this for more than a month, Qiu Yizhi's long-awaited 20,000 Bohai Iron Cavalry finally assembled and asked to enter the battle through Youyan Road.

Qiu Yizhi not only hoped that this group of elite new forces could add a heavy weight to the balance of victory for himself, but he also felt that the Bohai people were not my race after all, and it was difficult to guarantee that there was no dissent when they went deep into the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

However, the Bohai people only went south to fight according to their own requests, and if they sent troops to monitor them at all times, it would not only increase the already overstretched military burden, but also hurt the morale of the Bohai people, which was a thing that outweighed the losses. So Qiu Yizhi had an idea, thinking that according to the agreement, the supply of grain and grass for the Bohai Iron Cavalry would be in charge of the Han Dynasty, so according to the frequency of once every three days, the amount of grain and grass supplied each time was only three days, so that even if the Bohai Navy intended to cause chaos, it would not have the capital to succeed.

Dali Khan, the lord of the Bohai Sea, was also a heroic figure who was able to sit on an equal footing with the old emperor Zheng Rong and the Turkic Viximi, how could Qiu Yizhi's little trick hide from his eyes. He saw that Qiu Yizhi was quite defensive about himself, but he was unwilling to withdraw the army, so he resorted to a small trick, so he asked the county lord of Yiran, who originally went south with the army, and her and Qiu Yizhi's sons, to return to Bohai Country to recuperate in the name of not adapting to the water and soil and occasionally feeling a little sick.

Of course, Qiu Yizhi knew Dali Khan's intentions, and scolded him fiercely in his heart, but he thought about it from Dali's position with his heart, and was immediately relieved, only feeling that as long as he could win the decisive battle with Zheng Xin in front of him, and then take advantage of his new victory and the emptiness of Bohai to ask Dali, Dali would definitely not be able to resist.

Therefore, although there was a slight disgrace, the iron cavalry from the Bohai Kingdom still arrived under Tongguan on time.

In order to prevent these Hu people who went south to help the war from attacking the people after entering the pass, Qiu Yizhi asked Wang Shijie, the general of Tongguan, to set up a camp outside the pass for 20,000 iron horsemen to be stationed, and ordered him to strictly guard the pass, not to take it lightly, and sent Yelu, a person who knew the general knowledge, to restrain the Bohai people, and Prince Urdun was forced to stay in the capital.

In this way, it was already early summer, and the soldiers and horses in Qiu Yi's hands, plus the 20,000 iron cavalry in Bohai, plus the forbidden army that he had reorganized and trained, also had nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the men and horses under Dai Luanxiang who was operating behind Zheng Xin, the total number of people had exceeded 100,000.

So Qiu Yizhi felt that although Zheng Xin had nearly 300,000 men under his command, only 2.34 million could command Ruyi, and with 100,000 horses under his command, the victory rate of fighting with him was actually more than 70%.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi made a special trip to Lin Shuhan's side and asked him to draft another war book and invite Zheng Xin to cross the Yangtze River north to fight the victory.

Lin Shuhan thought that the current strength was only half of Zheng Xin's, and the decisive rate of the head-on battle was not very large, so it seemed that he should not be in a hurry to find an opportunity to fight with Zheng Xin, and should take advantage of the current trend of the two sides' forces declining and the other's strengths, continue to wait for a month or two, and wait for the balance of power to turn back, and then find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle.

In this regard, Qiu Yizhi put forward three reasons:

First, the early rice in the south of the Yangtze River will mature in another month, and the supply of grain and grass that Zheng Xin seems to be a little embarrassed for a while will be completely solved. In the north, it will take another month for the rice to mature. Now Qiu Yizhi's advantage in logistics and supply will turn into a disadvantage.

Second, the situation in the Han Dynasty has been unstable in recent years, especially Jiangnan Province, which is the country's most important land of money and grain, has experienced wars and turmoil several times, and it has reached the point where it can no longer afford to toss. If Zheng Xin continues to confront himself, he will inevitably be in the south of the Yangtze River, and if he drags on any longer, the Han Dynasty will inevitably be greatly injured, and it will be even more difficult to restore the national strength.

The third is that the Turkic Pisimi is cruel, treacherous, and ambitious, and seeing that the Han is busy dealing with civil strife and the Bohai Sea is sending elites, he must have some intentions. If it dragged on too long, Visimi would have made a move. At that time, there were Turkic invasions in the north and Zheng Xin in the south, and the taste of being attacked by the enemy on both sides would be uncomfortable.

At the end, Qiu Yizhi also added: "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, I can't know Zheng Xin's person very well." He imitated my father-in-law Emperor Daxing everywhere, but he only imitated a layer of fur everywhere. Especially in a war with soldiers, he may be able to win the battle, but once there are variables, he has no ability to adapt at all. Aren't we able to deal with such people? ”

Although Lin Shuhan didn't understand military affairs, he felt that Qiu Yizhi was too full of words, and he was a little worried about him, but he couldn't splash a basin of cold water on his head, so he could only say: "The husband is the winner of the temple without a fight, and he has to count a lot; The temple is invincible without a fight, and it is ...... if it is few."

"And what if it doesn't matter?" Qiu Yizhi's general Lin Shuhan's words interrupted, "I have read the art of war of the Soldier Saint many times. I understand the kindness of Mr. reminding me to be cautious, but I Qiu Yizhi is this character, if there is a sixty percent chance of winning, I have to try it, not to mention that the current odds of winning are far more than sixty percent! ”

Lin Shuhan was stunned by his words, and looked at Qiu Yizhi's eyes silently.

Qiu Yizhi also felt that his attitude was a little impatient and rude, and he laughed twice to relieve the embarrassment, and said: "Sir, let's write the rebellious text for me first." If Mr. This article spreads all over the world, Zheng Xin's morale will inevitably be greatly hit, and our army's chances of victory will be even greater. Okay, I still have important things to do with Zhao Chengxiao and others, so let's get busy first. ”

With that, Qiu Yi turned his head, turned around, and walked out.

Lin Shuhan looked at Qiu Yizhi's conceited and resolute back, and sighed - this Qiu Yizhi is not the Qiu Yizhi he knew back then......

Qiu Yizhi really has important things to do.

Originally, Zhao Chengxiao was ordered by him to take on the task of reorganizing and training the forbidden army in the Guannei, and he was already very busy, but today he was specially called into the capital by Qiu Yizhi, even Zhao Chengxiao felt a little strange and asked: "My lord, you called me over today, could it be that there is something important to do?" ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled slyly: "If you want to go to face the saint, is this matter important?" ”

In the past, meeting the supreme emperor of the world is of course an extremely important thing. However, at present, Zheng Qi, the emperor himself, is supported by Qiu Yizhi, and Qiu Yizhi goes to see him, just like taking out a puppet that he has carefully dressed up, so it is not important or unimportant.

But despite the facts, Zhao Chengxiao still couldn't bypass the etiquette of the monarch and ministers on the surface, and said: "Important, important." It's the clothes on my body that seem a little undignified. How about I go and change into clean clothes and go with the adults? ”

He had just returned from the playground where he was training, and his clothes were old and dirty, with a few holes in them, and he really looked "not very dignified."

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you Zhao Chengxiao has not been promoted yet, and you are actually paying attention to it." If you can come to see me in this 'undignified' dress, why can't you wear it to see the emperor? Where does so much attention come from? ”

Zhao Chengxiao smiled innocently: "Aren't adults and me my own people?" I didn't think about it that much......"

"My own people" and "my own people", these three words circled in Qiu Yizhi's mind a few times, making him sigh and say: "Okay, don't change your clothes, I also asked Yu Chi Jiming to go with me, it's not good for you to change your clothes but ask a little girl to wait." ”

When Zhao Chengxiao heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, then my lord, let's go, and I will lead the way." I just don't know where Miss Yuchi is now? ”

Qiu Yizhi replied: "She is now with your bandit brothers, let's get together with them first, and then enter the palace together." ”

Yu Chi Jiming died his father under Tongguan, and first escorted his father's body back to his hometown for burial on the order of Qiu Yizhi, and then inherited the family business of Wei Chi's family and the honorific title of "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" in accordance with his father's will and Qiu Yizhi's arrangement. I've been busy like this for nearly two months, and I didn't reappear by Qiu Yizhi's side until today.

Zhao Chengxiao saw that Yu Chi Jiming had not seen him for fifty days, and the childishness on his original face had long been gone, although his eyes were still round and big as before, his eyes were as elusive as a bottomless pool of water, so he hurriedly arched his hand: "The little master hasn't seen him for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

Wei Chi Jiming also returned the salute and only replied: "General Zhao, don't come unharmed." Her voice is also like a pool of unstable lake, which is unpredictable.

When Zhao Chengxiao heard this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Qiu Yizhi had something important to do, so he beckoned the people present and said, "Go, follow me into the palace!" ”

The place where Qiu Yi is located is not far from the palace, and after only a few turns, he came to the gate of the palace. Now it is different from the past, and now the leaders of the guards guarding the palace are all promoted by Qiu Yizhi from his own personal soldiers, seeing that the benefactor is coming, how can there be any reason to block it, so he quickly let out of the way and let Qiu Yizhi enter the Forbidden City with a group of fierce and vicious personal soldiers.

Qiu Yizhi first led the people all the way to the "Shuli Palace" where the emperor should see people and do business, and when he saw that the emperor Zheng Qi was not inside, he asked the eunuchs waiting in the palace, only to know that Zheng Qi went to the "Lizheng Palace" where the empress dowager was located.

So Qiu Yizhi led his subordinates again, turned around to the outside of the "Lizheng Palace", and asked the guards guarding outside, the emperor was indeed talking to his grandmother, the Empress Dowager, in the palace.

Qiu Yizhi shouted loudly outside the palace: "Chen Qiu Yizhi asks to see the emperor and the queen mother!" He did not wait for the palace to answer, but pushed the door into the palace, and sure enough, he saw the emperor talking to his grandmother.

When their grandparents and grandchildren saw Qiu Yizhi coming uninvited, they were a little surprised and a little angry.

I only heard the Empress Dowager say: "Yizhi, this is the mourning family's dormitory, why didn't you listen to the summons and come in without permission?" Because her husband Zheng Rong has died, she also changed her self-proclaimed name to "mourning family".

Qiu Yi said with a smile: "The minister seems to have heard that the emperor opened his mouth to summon the minister in, and the minister dared to come in." The word 'unauthorized', the minister really did not dare to accept it, and asked the empress dowager to take it back. ”
