After Li Congshan finished speaking, he took out a stacked piece of paper from his sleeve, Zhao Guangyi frowned and took it and opened it, there were only a few words on the paper, "Bright Moon on the Sea", the handwriting was almost the same as his own, Xiao Tao's words! Zhao Guangyi's hand that was still holding the paper casually tightened. Trembling slightly, he took it to the candlelight and carefully flipped it around, and there was nothing else but those five words. It seems to be the waste paper that Xiao Tao throws away from practicing calligraphy on weekdays.

Zhao Guangyi folded the paper and put it in his sleeve. Looking at Li Congshan's gaze as cold as an ice blade: "What does he mean?" ”

Li Congshan saw that Zhao Guangyi's face became infiltrating, and hurriedly said, "I don't know. He just asked me to give this to King Jin, saying that the second generous gift is related to the person who wrote this word, and you must know who it is. The first generous gift was naturally the naval army defense map of Wankou. It's just that he wants to meet King Jin in person. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "In this case, you bring him here." But," Zhao Guangyi's voice became sharp, "if he dares to hit someone else's idea, you tell him, he will die an ugly death." ”

Li Congshan had never seen Zhao Guangyi speak so violently, so he nodded again and again.

Half a month later, Li Congshan took Fan Ruoshui to the Jin Palace. Zhao Guangyi met them in the flower hall in the backyard. Fan Ruoshui shook his fist at Zhao Guangyi and saluted. Zhao Guangyi glanced at this person coldly, his body was thin, his face was dark, although he was silent and shy, his eyes were gloomy and cold, and he was not right when he looked at it. Zhao Guangyi said lightly: "Coming?" Where did it come from? ”

Fan Ruoshui replied: "Wankou, I made a long detour, so I only came now." ”

Li Congshan was afraid that Zhao Guangyi would blame him, so he hurriedly explained: "Although it is close to Runzhou, it is difficult for Qi Zhengxiu to cross the river. Fortunately, he was very familiar with the naval army in Anhuikou, so he secretly came from there. There was a delay on the way. ”

Fan Ruoshui said in a deep voice: "Adults don't have to explain. The reason why King Jin asked this was because he thought of this layer. ”

Zhao Guangyi sneered, looked at Li Congshan and said, "I want to talk to him alone." Li Congshan hurriedly waved his hands and retired, and sat down in the hall where he was entertaining guests in the front yard.

Only Zhao Guangyi and Fan Ruoshui were left in the flower hall, Zhao Guangyi sent his subordinates far away, looked at Fan Ruoshui and said: "The naval army in Wankou has changed?" ”

Fan Ruoshui smiled slightly: "It was expected that the King of Jin would ask this question, so when I borrowed the Wankou this time, I deliberately delayed it for a few days, and measured the width of the river in detail at the quarry rock of the Wankou fortress. The sediment deposition under the river. King Jin must also know that the rain climate is different every year, and the hydrology at the quarry rock must be a little different from that of previous years. However, the water military fortifications have basically not changed. ”

Zhao Guangyi asked directly: "Then according to your opinion, is it feasible to beat the Southern Tang Dynasty from Quarry Rock?" ”

Fan Ruoshui clenched his fists: "When the dry period of the Yangtze River arrives in a few months, it will definitely be feasible to erect a pontoon bridge." ”

Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips and said, "Pontoon, it's not like I haven't thought about it." However, to erect a pontoon bridge, it is necessary to have a full understanding of the water surface of Quarry Rock and the military defense of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so as to quickly erect the bridge without being destroyed by the Southern Tang naval army. So, your diagram is important. I will introduce you to Your Majesty, I wonder if you want to be famous? Or is it pro? ”

Fan Ruoshui said fixedly: "Ruoshui is a scholar." Naturally, high school fame is the dream of this life. It's just that in Nantang, this wish has not been realized for many years. Now that I am dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty, I hope to get what I want and make up for my past regrets. As for gold and silver, if the water is not demanding. ”

Zhao Guangyi's hand knocked on the table and said lightly: "That's fine." I, the Great Song Dynasty, also welcome talented people to serve in the court. You have this heart best. If your picture can indeed solve my Great Song Dynasty's predicament, I dare not guarantee anything else, at least the official positions below the fourth rank of the Great Song Dynasty, you can choose. This Lord, I did. ”

Fan Ruoshui's heart trembled fiercely, it was four products, which he never dreamed of before. He was satisfied that he could be a nine-grade sesame official in the Southern Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately he never passed the exam. But when he came to the Great Song Dynasty, he was a fourth-grade official. Fan Ruoshui tried his best to hide his excited introspection, and said to Zhao Guangyi in a deep voice: "You must do your best in the future." ”

Zhao Guangyi took a sip of tea and opened his mouth again: "The first generous gift has been negotiated." I would like to ask what is the second gift? ”

Fan Ruoshui lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone: "King Jin, the second generous gift must be what King Jin wants." It's just that it can't be said yet, and after the first generous gift takes effect, it's good to say the second one. ”

Zhao Guangyi snorted coldly, looked at Fan Ruoshui with a cold expression and said, "Don't play tricks with me." If she is a little bit bad, let alone the official position, your life will not be saved. ”

Fan Ruoshui was down-to-earth in his heart, and his unforgettable good memory really helped him a lot. Fan Ruoshui had seen Zhao Guangyi's words, and when he saw Xiao Tao's words that day, he felt familiar, he just wondered how an official prostitute in the Southern Tang Dynasty could be the same as the words of King Jin of the Song Dynasty. He hurriedly asked the statement to introduce him to Xiao Tao. Later, I met Forsythia by chance, knowing that Forsythia had served Xiao Tao, so he pleaded to let Xiao Tao let Forsythia come out, these days when he stayed with Forsythia, not to mention anything else, he knew a lot of Little Peach's gossip. In addition, he inquired about Zhao Guangyi's old past, so he basically guessed about it. It's just that Xiao Tao's guise really worked, not only did he meet Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, but even the negotiation conditions were smooth.

Fan Ruoshui looked at Zhao Guangyi and smiled: "King Jin is too worried. Since I sincerely defected to the Great Song Dynasty, I will only try my best to protect the people I care about the King of Jin, so how can I make up my mind. It's just that the second generous gift really has to wait until the first one takes effect. I hope King Jin will forgive me. ”

Zhao Guangyi said coldly: "Then prepare the first one." I'll pick it up at any time. ”

Ten days later, Fan Ruoshui handed over the Southern Tang naval army in Anhui to Li Congshan. Zhao Guangyi presented it to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed and exclaimed: "If you attack Nantang again this time, you won't have to worry at all." After that, he laughed loudly at Zhao Guangyi, "Hurry up and reward that Fan Ruoshui." Guangyi, what do you think is appropriate? ”

Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice: "Then Fan Ruoshui is only interested in the official position. His Majesty can handwrite a secret letter to him, granting him a six-rank official position. When he presents the rest of the confidential information, it will not be too late to be promoted. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned: "There is still a secret?" Isn't it just a map of the naval army? What else is that kid hiding? ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "The quarry rock in Anhui has always been turbulent and unpredictable, so it is the key to the danger. Half in the defense of the Southern Don, half in the hydrological situation. That Fan Ruoshui left a hand, and only gave us the defense map, but did not give us hydrological data, and he had information on the width, water depth, and water flow speed of the quarrying rock. But they didn't give it to us. ”

"The Tang people are treacherous." Zhao Kuangyin frowned and said, "Then according to you, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Guangyi said: "Give him a handwritten letter of the six-rank official position, and give him a reassuring pill." I will be able to prepare an army to march to the mouth of Anhui in the near future, and then Fan Ruoshui will be able to give us an internal response, and second, with his hydrological data, it will be easy to build a pontoon bridge. ”

"Good!" Zhao Kuangyin immediately agreed. For many years, the attack on Nantang has only been suffering from no way, and now it has been sent to the door with a gap. It's an eye-opener. Zhao Kuangyin immediately wrote a secret letter to Fan Ruoshui and handed it to Zhao Guangyi. After thinking about it, he said, "Whenever an army is raised to fight, there must always be a reason. Li Yu, a soft persimmon, has also been cautious to the extreme over the years, and I really can't grasp his shortcomings. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, "Why don't you have a rebellion?" "Bird quotes.

Zhao Guangyi lightly hooked his lips: "The Southern Tang Dynasty was originally a vassal state of my Great Song Dynasty, and it had its own army, where did it come from to rebel?" And Li Yu has always been respectful, this reason is difficult to convince the public. After that, he looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Brother Chen has an idea." In winter, it is time to prepare for sacrifices, and in previous years, the Southern Tang Dynasty also came to pay tribute at this time. It is better for His Majesty to issue an order this year to let Li Yu personally come to Kaifeng to pay tribute and sacrifice to the sky. If he comes, Li Congshan's fate will be his fate, and we will save troops, and capture the thief first to capture the king; If he didn't come, wouldn't that be a ready-made excuse to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty? ”

Zhao Kuangyin thought carefully for a long time, and slapped the table suddenly: "Okay, just do it." ”

Zhao Guangyi clasped his fists and said to Zhao Kuangyin: "It's just that the younger brother wants to be this envoy himself, go to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and order Li Yu to come to my Great Song Dynasty to worship the sky." ”

"You're going in person?" Zhao Kuangyin looked at Zhao Guangyi with some amusement, "Why?" "There are more people who can be sent to the Southern Tang Dynasty, why do you need such an important person as Yin and King Jin of Kaifeng Mansion?

"One is to show the sincerity of my Great Song Dynasty, and the other is that my brother wants to personally visit the Tang army garrison along the road." Zhao Guangyi replied calmly. He had been thinking about it for days, and this time, he had to go in person.

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, looked at Zhao Guangyi and smiled: "Okay." ”
