Before Zhao Guangyi came, Cao Bin and Qi Zhengxiu had been fighting for a long time in Runzhou, but there was no progress. Wu Yue attacked from the waterway, and Cao Bin attacked from the land battle, but he still couldn't capture a small Runzhou. Cao Bin was also puzzled, obviously the combined strength of the Great Song and Wu Yue was enough to be worth twice that of Runzhou. Why is Runzhou still immovable? Qi Zhengxiu's strategies emerge in endlessly, and the art of war is applied to the pervasiveness, and the sound of fighting cattle across the mountains is not the same every time, coupled with the unique military deployment of Runzhou, Cao Bin naturally has no way.

Cao Bin was at a loss, but he received Zhao Kuangyin's will and a letter from his family. Cao Bin first hurriedly opened Zhao Kuangyin's secret letter. I was overjoyed to see the map of the naval army's defense, which was really a relief in the snow, a rare opportunity. With this, no matter how capable Qi Zhengxiu is, he can't escape his palm. Cao Bin roughly glanced at the naval army's defense map, and the places that used to feel like a labyrinth suddenly opened up at this moment. The Tang people's brains are powerful, and Runzhou, which is a big palm, can be arranged so pervasively by them. No wonder he hadn't touched the doorway for so long.

Cao Bin happily began to look at Zhao Kuangyin's letterhead again, but his hands began to tremble when he looked at it. As soon as I saw half of it, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on the corners of my forehead. His Majesty actually had the intention of getting rid of King Jin. This is something he never dreamed of.

Cao Bin also fought with the army very early, not only with Zhao Kuangyin. also has an unusual life-and-death friendship with Zhao Guangyi. Let him calculate Zhao Guangyi behind his back, he really doesn't know how to make a move. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi have always had a deep brotherhood, and after Zhao Kuangyin became the emperor, Zhao Guangyi's status in the imperial court was even more rapid and rose rapidly. Why did it become incompatible all of a sudden? Cao Bin was in a mess, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out a way, so he quickly hid this secret letter in his sleeve. It's better to wait and see, wait and see, don't be impulsive, Your Majesty regrets it, and then settle accounts with him, he can't afford it.

Putting down Zhao Kuangyin's letter, Cao Bin picked up the letter again. This letter made him angry. A punch slammed into the table. Zhao Kuangyin is too pressing, not to mention that he will definitely follow his will, even if he has doubts, he will definitely discuss it with him. Why did Zhao Kuangyin suddenly bring his youngest son to the palace without saying a word? Said he liked to stay. Isn't it just being a hostage? Too much deception, too much deception!

Cao Bin walked back and forth in the tent, physically and mentally restless, the child didn't know if he could get used to it in the palace, and whether he would suffer any grievances! Cao Bin walked back and forth in the tent like a trapped beast, and it took a while to calm down. can't panic, now that the child is pinched in Zhao Kuangyin's hands, he can't act rashly. Zhao Kuangyin must not be misunderstood. Cao Bin thought about it for a while and sent a letter back to his family. Tell your wife and children not to panic, be cautious in your words and deeds, and you will arrange for palace people who are familiar with the palace to take care of the children, and you can't talk about it casually.

A few days later, Zhao Guangyi took Xiao Tao to the southwest of Runzhou, Cao Bin's camp. Cao Bin hurriedly came out to greet him in person, and arranged a banquet for Zhao Guangyi to wash the dust. Xiao Tao's health has not been good, although there is a royal doctor to recuperate, but every day is worried, although the trauma of being kicked by Zhao Kuangyin has been healed, but the whole person is pale, the spirit is sluggish, and he can't eat or sleep. Xiao Tao didn't want to attend the banquet arranged by Cao Bin, but just fell asleep in the camp tent all the time.

Zhao Guangyi and Cao Bin chatted about the recent military while drinking, Cao Bin couldn't help but look at Zhao Guangyi carefully, wanting to see some clues from Zhao Guangyi's eyebrows, and couldn't help but knock on the side What is the contradiction between him and Zhao Kuangyin: "King Jin has been gone for so long since he returned to Kaifeng, and I thought that His Majesty would not let King Jin come back." "Wai Yu fork.

Zhao Guangyi only remained silent, and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty left me in Beijing, just to discuss how to arrange troops, so that we can take Runzhou as soon as possible." After all, it has been attacking for so long and there is no result, this is just a small Runzhou, and the original attack on Nanping in Southern Han was much faster than this. ”

Cao Bin's face flushed: "Yes, Runzhou's defense is really strange"

"The arming of Runzhou is the essence of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's natural to be hard to fight. Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows, "However, it's different now." We already have a great chance of winning, so I came in person, as long as I don't get out of the basket, we should be able to take Runzhou soon. ”

Cao Bin's heart suddenly, does the "now different" in Zhao Guangyi's mouth refer to the naval army deployment map? Looks like he knows too? Cao Bin was a little confused, and he didn't know what tricks the two brothers were playing. But he had to respond: "Yes, yes." ”

"So now, it is even more important to fight steadily, don't be clever, but lose your innate advantage, and finally be counterattacked, it will be ugly." Zhao Guangyi's voice was deep, "So I have to say in advance, no matter how you send troops, whether it is a sneak attack or a hard attack, everything must be done according to the method we have discussed. ”

"Yes, what His Royal Highness the King of Jin said is extremely true." Cao Bin nodded. This is clearly setting the rules to have military power. Cao Bin had no right to resist, so he had to obey. Who made King Jin much higher than his status. Besides, Zhao Kuangyin only said that he attacked Zhao Guangyi when the situation was wrong, but he didn't say that he would not listen to the command. Cao Bin naturally obeyed.

Zhao Guangyi and Cao Bin talked about wine for a long time, from the battle situation in Runzhou to Wu Yue, and then to Jinling, until late at night, Zhao Guangyi returned to the camp.

Xiao Tao hadn't rested yet, leaning on the bed with a candle and a bloodless pale face. Seeing Zhao Guangyi coming back, his voice was a little urgent: "How is Yin'er's matter?" Is there any progress? ”

Zhao Guangyi's heart ached, and he patted Xiao Tao's hand: "Don't think about it." I'll arrange it. It's not so fast, we can't try to be fast, we have to ensure Yin'er's safety, right? ”

"Well, safety is the most important thing." Xiao Tao nodded again and again, her eyes empty and desolate.

Zhao Guangyi took off his robe and sat on the edge of the bed, Xiao Tao suddenly climbed on Zhao Guangyi's arm, wanted to say something, and closed his mouth again.

Zhao Guangyi shook Xiao Tao's hand with his backhand, and his voice was gentle: "What do you want to say?" ”

Xiao Tao's gaze wandered away and hooked her lips: "It's nothing, it's just, I think it's so fast." It's Runzhou again. ”

Zhao Guangyi was stunned for a moment, and went to Runzhou again? Zhao Guangyi's expression was a little stiff: "You, do you want to go to the Tang people's military camp?" According to Xiao Tao's temperament, she drew Zhao Kuangyin the naval army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and she must have wanted to tell Qi Zhengxiu as soon as possible.

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up, and Zhao Guangyi just hit her mind, but how could it be? If she goes to the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, don't say that Qi Zhengxiu may not be willing to see her, even if she is willing to see her, what will the Song people here think of her? There must be Zhao Kuangyin's henchmen among these people, if someone secretly tells Zhao Kuangyin, he may not know how to torture Yin'er. Thinking of this, the light in Xiao Tao's eyes dimmed: "Forget it." Or don't give people a handle anymore. After a pause, Xiao Tao looked at Zhao Guangyi and asked hesitantly, "Tingyi, will you be angry with me?" ”

Zhao Guangyi shook his head: "No." You are a Tang person, and it is normal to have such thoughts. "He can't blame a person who loves his country, let alone this person is Xiao Tao. After thinking about it, Zhao Guangyi said, "Tomorrow morning, I will ride you to the market outside the city in the east of Runzhou, which is not far from Qi Zhengxiu's military camp, and he will notice you." He's a smart guy, and what you want him to know, he'll be able to guess. ”

Xiao Tao's heart stirred, it would be great if that was the case. As long as Qi Zhengxiu can change the deployment of the navy, she will feel less guilty in her heart.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Qi Zhengxiu walked out of the camp tent and was about to go to inspect the navy, when suddenly an attendant came in to report that there was a group of people in the southeast of Runzhou City who were a little abnormal.

"What's wrong?" Qi Zhengxiu asked.

The attendant replied, "There used to be a market in the southeast of the city every morning, and many people would go to the morning market. But the fighting broke out, and all the gates were shut. So I could see very clearly, the pedestrian was standing on the slope of the hill outside the city, there were men and women, as if they were waiting for something, it had been almost an hour, and there was no movement. He sent the soldiers guarding the city to ask, saying that they were waiting for someone, but they would not say who they were waiting for. But they are outside the city, not in the city, and there is no reason to arrest them. ”

Qi Zhengxiu's heart moved, are there men and women? He immediately turned over his horse and galloped towards the east of the city, and when he arrived at the city gate, Qi Zhengxiu strode up to the city tower and looked down from above. On an early summer morning, a woman in a pink dress stood side by side with a purple-robed man on a slope outside the city. The woman's body seemed to be a little weak, leaning against the man from time to time. Behind them were a few shrewd and capable attendants.

Although the city tower was too high to see the woman's appearance, but that familiar figure, Qi Zhengxiu closed his eyes slightly in disbelief, opened them again, and looked at the woman greedily, didn't she go to Song Land? Why did you get to Runzhou again? Why is your body so weak? Why would she still come to war? Qi Zhengxiu had countless questions coming to his mind, and his originally calm mood was entangled the moment he saw Xiao Tao, stirring up pain.

Zhao Guangyi raised his eyes and looked at the city tower, his brows furrowed slightly, and the strength of his hand holding Xiao Tao was unconsciously great. Xiao Tao suddenly shook her spirit, raised her eyes and looked, a white-clothed shirt on the city tower stood in the wind, who could it be if it wasn't Qi Zhengxiu? Xiao Tao looked at Qi Zhengxiu's silhouette from a distance, and all kinds of feelings in her heart were twisted together, joy, familiarity, excitement, guilt, and shame finally lowered her head. She didn't have the face to say goodbye to Qi Zhengxiu. When she raised her eyes again, the white figure on the city tower was gone.

Xiao Tao was stunned in her heart, standing in place and at a loss. Zhao Guangyi patted Xiao Tao's shoulder: "Let's go." He should know what you're going to say. "The first time to read the "Three More Peach Blossom Drums" is free.
