[A month ago, at the beginning of the Northern Dynasty's expedition, Xianbei, Yanzhou Khan Palace]

On the promenade of the palace, Tuoba Hong and Tuoba Jue walked side by side.

"Second brother. ”

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

"The Northern Dynasty raised the strength of the whole country to conquer my Xianbei this time, and my father Khan inquired about the recurrence of the old disease, and has been placed in the northern royal city, and now the burden of repelling the army of the Northern Dynasty falls on the shoulders of you and me. ”

"The eldest brother is really tormenting the second brother, I am not good at fighting, and I even struggle to ride a horse, so I can only give advice to the eldest brother in the camp tent. ”

"There is a saying in the book of Chinese soldiers, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, sometimes, the second brother, your few words, is better than 100,000 male soldiers. ”

"Hahaha...... Big brother just makes people comfortable when he speaks. ”

"Second brother, speaking of which, I heard that Wen Bohua, the prime minister of the Northern Dynasty, is also a good strategist, and the second brother is confident that he can defeat him in battlefield strategy. ”

"This ...... I have been an envoy to the Northern Empire, and I have seen this man, and this man's wisdom is unfathomable, and I am not as good as him......"

"Oh, it's the first time I've heard the second brother bow to the upper hand in terms of resourcefulness, Wen Bohua, it seems that you should be careful of this person. ”

"Big brother, don't worry, although I think it's difficult to suppress Wen Bohua, but isn't there still a big brother? Big brother can be civil and martial, and this time he also accurately predicted Di Shuo's actions, so I believe that under the command of the eldest brother, my Xianbei army will be able to defeat the Northern Dynasty in one fell swoop, and maybe enter the Central Plains, at this time, hahahaha......"

"Haha, if that's the case, I don't have to worry so much. However, I didn't predict Di Shuo's actions, I did think that he would surprise the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but I didn't expect him to devote all his strength to fight my Xianbei, I couldn't figure out what he was going to do......"

“...... So big brother, what is the strategy to defend against the enemy?"

"No, nothing......"

"So, big brother, I think that no matter what tricks the Northern Dynasty has, since they are pouring out of the nest, the rear must be empty, so it is necessary to ally the Southern Dynasty to attack the Northern Dynasty, and this strategy must be feasible. ”

"Well, I'll immediately send a letter to Liu Yu of the Southern Dynasty...... No, I'll write a secret letter to Li Zhong first......"

"Big brother is wise!"

[At the beginning of the Northern Dynasty's expedition, the Southern Dynasty, the General's Mansion]

The hall of the mansion is pretended to be magnificent, and many generals dressed in the armor of the Southern Dynasty stand here, and there are many discussions.

"The Great General has arrived. ”

With the shouts of the servants of the mansion, the originally chaotic Southern Dynasty generals immediately quieted down and stood in two columns, standing on both sides of the hall.

Surrounded by many armor soldiers and servants, a middle-aged man in gorgeous armor walked into the hall and sat on the top seat.

The man is tall, but not bloated, there is no middle-aged man's greasy belly, and the facial features are profound, which can see the traces of the carving of the years, but it does not affect the handsomeness of the man, but gives people a mature charm.

But the most striking thing is the man's eyes, to be precise, the pupils.

The man's eyes are different, the right eye is no different from ordinary people, but the pupil of the left eye is red, the two eyes are black and red, there was a foreign monk for his face, saying that it is the killing god descended into the world, this saying was popular in the Southern Dynasty for a while.

"See the Great General. After the man took his seat, the generals knelt in unison.

"Get up. The man raised his hand and said, the generals returned the salute, and then got up.

"The reason why the generals have gathered here is already known. With that, Li Zhong picked up the tea next to him and took a sip before putting it to his mouth.

"In this way, I hope that the general will send troops to the Northern Dynasty as soon as possible, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”

"Yes, general, the Northern Dynasty is now vigorously conquest of Xianbei, and the rear must be empty, and the shame before the snow is today. ”

"General, send troops quickly......"

"Yes, General, let's send troops quickly......"

......

In the persuasion of the generals, Li Zhong slowly put down the teacup, looked at the generals, and said, "Have you already received the king's order to send troops?"

"This ......"

"I don't have an order, but I gather here to persuade me to send troops, how different is it from rebellion!" Li Zhong said coldly, and the murderous aura made the generals chill.

"General!"

The bearded general came out of the ranks and said—

"It's really no wonder that we have not had an early dynasty for almost three years since the last time we repelled the Northern Dynasty army, and we have a low position, and we can't see the king in private, so how can we get this military order......"

After that, the generals were silent, and the hall was silent.

"Well, having said that......"

Li Zhong glanced at the generals and continued-

"But now, the prime minister's faction is advocating reform, opposing the monopoly of power in the army, and you are all gathered here today to persuade me to send troops and spread the word, who can bear the responsibility for this crime. ”

"The last general has not thought it through, I hope the general will forgive me!" the generals said in unison.

"Okay", Li Zhong waved his hand and said: "The general will go to meet the king today and persuade the king to send troops to conquer the Northern Dynasty." Go back to camp and get ready. ”

"Wow. The generals gave up their hands and slowly withdrew.

【Southern Dynasty, Royal Capital Palace】

In the luxurious hall, several beautiful and graceful Jiangnan women are dancing in the hall.

On the top of the main hall, a beautiful young man about twenty years old, half-untied dragon robe, drunk and hazy, leaned on it, picked up the wine glass on the desk from time to time, and raised his head to drink.

The young man admired the posture of the dancing girl in the hall, and a waiter stepped forward with a wine jug in his hand and said softly: "Your Majesty, the prime minister asks to see you." ”

"Well, pour the wine, and Prime Minister Xuan will go to the palace. ”

"Wow. ”

-----------------

Under the leadership of the chamberlain, an old man entered the hall. The old man has white hair and long hair, not angry and arrogant, like the appearance of a saint in an ancient painting.

The old man bypassed the dancing girl in the center of the hall, came to the dragon case, and knelt down and said, "The old minister Wang Quanxu, see the king." ”

"Get up, Prime Minister, and give me a seat. ”

Wang Quanxu thanked him and sat down on the throne that the chamberlain had moved.

Liu Yu saw Wang Quanxu sitting down, and then said: "The prime minister came just in time, this king has recently made a new work, called "Jiangnan", please ask the prime minister to serve as a staff officer or two." ”

"Wow. Wang Quanxu stood up and returned the salute and took the paper from the chamberlain.

Wang Quanxu read the moment silently, and arched his hand: "The king's artistic conception is lofty, like a dragon rising from the fog, the brushwork is delicate, like a trickle of water, which really opens the eyes of the old minister!"

"Haha, the prime minister praised it falsely. Liu Yu laughed, his joy overflowing.

"However, according to the humble opinion of the old minister", Wang Quanxu continued: "If the 'falling goose' in the last section is changed to 'falling bird', it may be more lyrical. ”

"Luohu, Luoyan......" Liu Yu muttered in a low voice, then clapped his hands and got up, and said: "Second, Prime Minister, such a change, not only is it a pun, but also the artistic conception pattern is also on a higher level, and the Prime Minister is worthy of being the crown of my Southern Dynasty." ”

"The Fu written by the king is rare in ancient and modern times, and the old minister has only changed it slightly. ”

"Haha, the prime minister's miraculous pen is amazing, and this king has decided to reward you with a thousand gold and a thousand silk horses. ”

Just as Wang Quanxu bowed his hand in return, the previous chamberlain came to Liu Yu's side again and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Liu Yu's face disappeared with joy, and he asked the chamberlain to tidy up the dragon robe for himself, and waved his hand to let the dancing girl in the hall withdraw from the side door.

Wang Quanxu looked at the few people in front of him, and he already had a rough idea of what was going on.

After some care, Liu Yu sat on the throne and patted his cheeks with both hands, hoping to protect himself from the influence of the good wine he had drunk before.

"General Xuanda, enter the palace. Liu Yu, who had prepared everything, looked at the waiter and said with disgust.

"Wow. ”

The chamberlain retreated, and soon, Li Zhong, who was dressed in armor, entered the hall under the leadership of the chamberlain.

Li Zhong walked behind the chamberlain, his eyes scanned both sides of the hall, and found that there seemed to be a cup poured, and the curtain next to the pillars in the hall was not neatly tied, without the majesty of the royal palace, but like a place where the merry scholar sang and danced, revealing a luxurious atmosphere.

Li Zhong frowned slightly, walked quickly to the dragon case, knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general, Li Zhong, see the king." ”

"General, please. Liu Yu sat on the throne and held a hand in the air with one hand.

"Thank you. Li Zhong returned the salute and got up.

"I don't know why the general is coming?" Liu Yu looked at Li Zhong and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Dynasty has mobilized the strength of the whole country to conquer Xianbei, I don't know if the king can hear about this?" Li Zhong arched his hand.

"Ah, this...... Prime Minister!"

Liu Yu pinched his chin with his hand, and then looked at Wang Quanxu like grasping a life-saving straw.

"Your Majesty, the old minister came this time to report this matter......

"Since the prime minister also knows about this, it will be even better. ”

Before Wang Quanxu finished speaking, Li Zhong said directly: "Your Majesty, the army of the Northern Dynasty is on an expedition, and the country must be empty. ”

"Ah!" Liu Yu looked at Li Zhong's enthusiastic plea in the hall, and said in a daze: "Since this is the case, then ......"

"What the general said may not be too generalized. Just as Liu Yu was about to give an order, Wang Quanxu's voice suddenly sounded.

"What does the prime minister mean by this?" Li Zhong turned around and asked Wang Quanxu rhetorically.

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Quanxu didn't pay attention to Li Zhong, but saluted Liu Yu directly-

"The front line came to report, the North Korean military camp on the Yangtze River was continuous, the sound of drills was endless, and the two Zhang brothers led the cavalry to patrol the camp day and night, and the Northern Dynasty was empty, I'm afraid it was nonsense. ”

"Our army in the royal capital of the Northern Dynasty made a detailed return, the Northern Dynasty went out to conquer the army, there should be more than 400,000, and the total number of troops in the Northern Dynasty is only 500,000, the riverside military camp is just a suspicious soldier deployed by Emperor Shuo, and the second general of the Zhang family patrols day and night, which also shows the emptiness within the Northern Dynasty. ”

"Haha, the general is really eloquent, it's just that the number of all the troops of the Northern Dynasty, you can't hear the details of your disguised businessmen and civilians, so how did you know, did Shangguan Xihua tell you, or did Emperor Shuo tell you?"

"The prime minister said with a smile, I have been at war with the Northern Dynasty for more than ten years, don't I even know how many sergeants there are in my opponent? Besides, I heard that Xianbei also gave me a letter of state for the Southern Dynasty, and the king is afraid that he will not know it. ”

"Ah, this...... Prime Minister!"

Liu Yu pinched his chin with his hand again and repeated the previous action.

"There is indeed this book, and the old minister came this time to present it to the king. With that, Wang Quanxu took out a roll of parchment from his cuff and handed it to the chamberlain.
