In order to alleviate the doubts of Wang Shicheng and Tian Jialie, on the fourth day after Deng She's illness, with the cooperation of Marshal Pyongyang's Naval Division, Liu Yang defeated the Japanese. More than 300 Japanese pirates were captured and nearly 50 large and small ships were captured. Those who escaped through the net were only the 32 boats of the Japanese people. The coastal waters of Yidu are clear.

This war, which lasted more than a month, finally ended with Haidong's victory.

When the news came to Yidu, Wang Shicheng was overjoyed. On the same day, a banquet was to be held in the palace to celebrate the triumphant Liu Yang and others, but Deng She did not attend on the pretext that his illness had not healed. If he didn't attend, Liu Yang and others naturally didn't dare to attend, so they excused themselves one after another.

Wang Shicheng is in a good mood, and when a person is in a good mood, he is easy to understand others and does not think it is strange at all.

It didn't matter if Deng She was ill, he personally came to the door, changed the place of the celebration banquet to the State Guest House, and postponed the time for a few days. In his original words: "Without the help of King Yan, it will not benefit the peace of the capital." Now for my benefit, the king of Yan is actually dyed with noble disease, and I am deeply disturbed. And when King Yan is well, he will have a big feast to celebrate. ”

Actions speak louder than words.

The great victory of the Haidong Navy Division effectively countered Tian Jialie's suspicion. Thanks to the blessing of Mrs. Wang's pillow wind, the indecisive Wang Shicheng once again strengthened his trust in Deng She, summoned Tian Jialie to see him, reprimanded him, and wanted to withdraw his right to transfer the Yamen to arrest Kuai. Tian Jialie strongly objected.

To be honest, things have developed so far, and Tian Jialie's intentions for Deng She's coming to Yidu are also a little unclear. He originally thought that Deng She wanted to use the excuse to help Yidu suppress the Japanese, so as to develop his influence in Yidu, and then find an opportunity to attack Yidu by water. However, now that the woes have subsided, and the road to Anfeng is not passable, it is not surprising that Deng She will turn back to Haidong after he recovers from his illness, and the inferences of others leaving, "taking the opportunity to attack Yidu" and so on are obviously ridiculous.

However, Tian Jialie still felt a faint uneasiness. It's like on the eve of a rainstorm, he stands tall and looks up at the dark clouds.

Wang Shicheng couldn't resist his strong opposition, and finally did not take back the right to transfer the Yamen, but sternly warned him: "King Yan is an honest gentleman, help me Yidu regardless of remuneration, on the occasion of this success, I Yidu must not do something ungrateful!" Otherwise, spread it out so that the heroes of the world know that you and I are not the son of man! Since you are still suspicious of King Yan, then you can continue to investigate, but if I know, you have done anything decent with profit or loss, hum. Shape up or ship out! He left him and walked away.

This is not the first time Tian Jialie has been treated like this, not long ago, Wang Shicheng gave him a similar embarrassment in front of Ji Zongzhou. The tables and chairs in the room still have a long shadow, and Tian Jialie's figure is still short. However, he didn't seem to take this embarrassment to heart, and he didn't feel ashamed of it.

The weather was hot, Wang Shicheng was in a hurry, Tian Jialie's front placket was slightly loosened, and some clothes were untidy. He was sweating profusely, alone, standing indoors for a while, muttering, "All the bustling exchanges are for the sake of profit." In the troubled times of the world, I have not heard of such a person who is anxious for justice and righteousness! It's weird, but it's also weird. ”

In Wang Shicheng's study, there are two characters hanging on the walls on both sides. His gaze unconsciously crossed from above, and he saw the left side written: "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." On the right, it is written: "I also have the good things that I have left, although I have not regretted my death." These two sentences are from "Lisao", Tian Jialie is easy to read Qu Yuan in his spare time, and these two characters are from him.

His gaze wandered in deep thought, and he glanced at the words, then turned outside and muttered, "Strange! But it's also strange. ”

Tian Jialie pondered. Indoor and outdoor, silent for a while. Outside, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, only three or two fallen leaves, with the breeze, drifted into it, curling and flying, like a butterfly, or falling on his short shadow, or falling on the long shadow of the table and chair.

……

"Although our Haidong Naval Division has won a complete victory today, in the past two days, the ministers and others have gone out, and the Yidu Yamen, who has been tracking behind, has not only not decreased, but has gradually increased, and it has intensified." Tong Shengyang's face was not angry, and Luo Guoqi was worried, "The lord's plan to divert Yidu's attention with the victory of the sailor seems to have not achieved the expected effect. ”

"How did Shicheng react?"

"Yesterday was on Wednesday, and it happened to be a provincial civil and military meeting. Wang Shicheng praised the benevolence of the lord many times in court and praised the mightiness of our Haidong Naval Division. Judging by his words, it should be from the heart. ”

"In this way, not only will the surveillance of you not be reduced, but will be intensified, and it must not be the intention of Shicheng, or it may be instructed by Tian Jialie."

"Tian Jialie, Shi Cheng is also the master. With his constraints, things may be difficult to do. ”

"The news from Tian Feng's side will come soon, and if Tian Feng agrees, then the time to do it is imminent. Looks like we'll have to find a way to remove his stumbling block. ”

"Will the plan be released?"

In the dark room, the curtains were tightly drawn, and the sunlight that came in sprinkled mottled shadow marks on the faces and bodies of Luo Guoqi and the others. Deng She was half-lying on the bed, contemplating and meditating, and suddenly heard Pan Xianer say: "The minister has a plan." More than a dozen people in the room turned their eyes to look, and when they saw his gaze, they flickered.

……

The stars are moving, and the stars are shining in the sky.

In the middle of the night, Wang Shicheng has not slept yet, sweeping the palace of the king, the civil and military generals gathered together, in order to celebrate the suppression of the troubles, tonight will sing and dance. Wang Shicheng was drunk, and he went down in person, drawing his sword and dancing. Continuing the ancestor and Gao Yanshi held a candle for him next to him, the candle shadow was flickering, and the sword was as cold as water.

After a dance, the house applauded.

Ji Zongzhou knelt down and raised his wine, and said: "The minister read the Tang book, and saw that there was "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", and the dance of celebration of victory was also. He once performed outside the Xuanwu Gate. With 2,000 horse troops, lead the team into the field, beat the big drum, the sound shook for hundreds of miles, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent! Today's dance of the king is not inferior to the king of Qin. Be a one, in order to enhance the martial arts! ”

"I'm dancing at will. In Qing's opinion, what should be the name? ”

"The success of the suppression of the widows, the king has this dance. The ministers watched the king's dance, flashing and moving, flying over the whole field, like thunder and anger, like the light of the river and the sea, Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, and was like a group of emperors and dragons. The minister doesn't know others, after the minister watchs, he still feels thrilling, and the former Gongsun Aunt's "General Pei is full of power", and the reappearance of today's person is also! Please call it "Full House of Extermination". ”

""Full House of Destroying the Situation", "Full House of Destroying the Situation". Ha ha. Good, good! ”

Wang Shicheng took advantage of the wine and danced casually, without thinking too much. Ji Zongzhou was clever and sycophant, and the earth-shattering sound of the sycophant beat was pulled out to compare it with the dance of King Qin's breaking array. Even if you know it's fake, you're happy.

He was full of joy and complacency, and he turned his sword on his eyes.

……

"Yesterday, Wang Shicheng had a night banquet for the ministers of Yidu and made a sword dance, called "Full House to Destroy the Japanese Situation". Yan Zhixi made an appointment to meet Ju Sheng, and the two had a conversation in a secret room.

"How do you know?" Ju Sheng was slightly surprised.

"I have my own sources. Yirou, our chance has come! ”

"What chance?"

"Yan Wang Jun ordered you and me to promote Yidu Wenyuan, and asked Wang Shicheng to present at least 30 praises and praises to Wang Shicheng within two days. Texts can also be written, poems can also be used. ——,It's finally time for King Yan to use us, Yirou, isn't this an opportunity to make meritorious contributions? ”

Ju Sheng was still puzzled and asked, "Tell us to shoot Wang Shicheng's ass?" What does King Yan mean by this? ”

"Tell us to do it, and we'll do it. King Yan is far-sighted, and I don't know much about his intentions. That's not something we can guess. And we will know later. ”

Yan Zhixi's excited words trembled, and after waiting for many days, he finally saw Deng She move. In order to strengthen his confidence, Deng She allowed Li Shousheng to tell him some inside information about Haidong, so that he had a clearer and deeper understanding of Haidong's strength, and his confidence in Deng She's victory was even more sufficient.

Although Dun She's message to him the day before yesterday that his plan of action might change as events unfolded, no matter what, as long as he started to act, would victory be far away? Even if he fails, there is nothing to lose for him. As early as a few days ago, Deng She quietly transferred all his family members, including Yan Shurong, to Haidong through connections.

Maybe Deng She's original intention was to strengthen his control over him, but as far as Yan Zhixi was concerned, he was desperate to join Deng She anyway, and he didn't care about it. Without worries, he drove at full speed, saw Ju Sheng, and then rushed to the city, and then met Guo Yongan and others.

These people are full of poetry and texts, and it is easy to brew something that praises virtue. In the next few days, after their skillful guidance, "Full House of Extermination" smoothly became the focus of public opinion among Yidu literati, Confucianism, and scholars. Even, gradually began to affect the lower class of people, no matter where Yidu is, wherever people gather, the most talked about topic is Wang Shicheng's sword dance, and the extension of "outstanding martial arts, great future" and so on.

All the people, some on purpose, some under guidance, in short, seem to have forgotten who really exterminated the pirates.

……

"Public opinion has been created. In the past two days, generals Tong, Yang, and Guo Zhu have all invited banquets, intentionally or unintentionally, to bring the topic to the joint attack on the capital. And according to the instructions of the lord, he vaguely promised that if Yidu was willing to participate in the war, then the matter of foreign aid could be handed over to me Haidong, so please rest assured. ”

"How do the generals of Yidu react?"

Now that Yidu is up and down, the praise of Wang Shicheng is so high that it cannot be repeated. Even when the generals go out, there are often people on the street who know and don't know them to give them a thumbs up. They have never been treated like this, and they are honored one by one. There are few old and serious, and many are proud and indulgent. ”

"What has happened to Tian Jialie recently?"

"Shut down."

Dunshe smiled at the crowd. Yidu's public opinion suddenly appeared one-sided, regardless of whether they supported Wang Shicheng or not, all of them praised and sang in unison, and it was expected that Tian Jialie would definitely be like falling into the clouds, confused and confused. Shut the door, that's right.

Deng She made a decision: "It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord." According to Master Pan's plan, the matter of transferring Tian Jialie was immediately implemented. ”

Set off public opinion in Yidu, which praised Wang Shicheng, was a prelude to persuading Wang Shicheng to join the army. This is said: "First be proud of your ambition, and then move your will." Pan Xianer's strategy is: to use the promotion of public opinion to kill two birds with one stone, first make Tian Jialie inexplicable, and then Liu Yang came forward and proposed, "After the big victory, you can't do without a teacher." Haidong Sailor has long admired Wang Shicheng's prestige, and hopes that Wang Shicheng can take the time to go to the beach with Deng She to participate in the review."

Every time there is a big victory, there must be a review, this is the practice of Haidong, and Yidu is often like this, and this excuse is used seamlessly. It was difficult for Wang Shicheng to find an excuse to refuse. Judging from Wang Shicheng's character, he will not shirk. However, since Tian Jialie suspected that Deng She was cheating, he would definitely come forward to stop him after hearing the news when he couldn't figure out the situation and was full of suspicions. The reason for the prevention is nothing more than "Deng She is sick", and it will not be too late to wait until Deng She recovers.

Then, Haidong sent a letter to Wang Shicheng in the tone of Deng She: first thank Tian Jialie for his care and kindness, and then happily accept Tian Jialie's suggestion, and stop reading the teacher for the time being. However, it seems inappropriate to ignore the fact that the Haidong Naval Division came from afar to help the capital, fought hard for more than a month, and finally won. I'm afraid it will hurt the heart of the water master. Therefore, he planned to send a person, as a representative, to rush to the beach in the near future to inspect on his behalf.

How will Wang Shicheng react when he hears this?

With the sentence "Haidong sailors have come from afar to help", he will definitely not ignore it, and will inevitably simply send someone to accompany him and review it on his behalf, just like Deng She. It stands to reason that even if he sends someone, he will 100% send an important member of the army, and the possibility of continuing his ancestor is the greatest, but he still can't move Tian Jialie.

But it doesn't matter, although Deng She is a guest in Yidu, when it comes to reviewing the water master, he is the master of course. Tong, Yang, and Guo Zhu, he didn't send any of them. Among the courtiers who brought Yidu, Luo Guo had the highest position, and Deng She sent him. Military generals to military generals, civil ministers to civil ministers. In this way, who Wang Shicheng will send to accompany him is about to come out.

……

On the sixth day after Deng She's illness, he sent Luo Guoqi to the beach to inspect the sailors. Yidu, who has the friendship of the landlord, sent Tian Jialie to accompany him, bringing brocade and money countless for reward.

……

The next day, Tian Feng's reply came, concise and to the point, eight words: "I know the will of the king, and I am willing to join you." ”
