Don't forget, in this world, there is not only the state of Chu. ”

As soon as Fang Qingchen's words came out, the hearts of the people in the house were even more shaken. When the fire burns the eyebrows, it is natural to look at the eyes. But now that the confrontation between the north and the south of Chu has been completed and the situation has stabilized, since they have taken this breath, they can withdraw and retreat, and they can see farther.

The large and small countries adjacent to the Chu State have been watching from the sidelines until now, and have never been involved in the Chu civil war, but because the Chu State has been suffering from natural disasters and military disasters, the time to come over to this troubled water is not the best. Who doesn't want to expand their territory and strengthen their country? Those small countries can say that when they and Qin Xufei fight to the point that both sides are defeated, if Qin and Qi don't come to reap the benefits, it will be hell.

But can this battle not be fought? Even if Qin Xufei could allow them to live in peace in the south, how could they sit idly by and watch the land being divided in half by aliens? For these warriors, it will be a stain that cannot be erased for a lifetime.

In the end, it was Zhuo Lingyun who stepped out of his seat and said in a deep voice: "Fang Hou urgently called us here to discuss, thinking that he had already made up his mind in his heart. No matter what the benefits and losses, if there is anything to say, Fang Hou just commands. ”

Fang Qingchen's gaze swept over everyone's faces very slowly and slowly, and after a long time, Fang said lightly: "I have an idea, I can make the Great Chu return to unification without raising troops, so that all the powers in the world will not dare to look at our land again, but ......"

Since he replied to Fang Qingchen's letter, Qin Xufei has been restless. He thought that with Fang Qingchen's temperament, he might not abuse and torture Liu Heng, but it was definitely possible to turn his face and kill people. Thinking of Liu Heng's possible encounter. Qin Xufei was impetuous. Sleepless nights.

The Qin army has been stationed on the north bank of the Huai River, and the herald soldiers have been coming and going. Army reinforcements from the rear arrived one after another. The grain and grass are heavy, and they are also transported all the time.

He brought in 200,000 soldiers and horses from the land of Chu, and so far he has not suffered much land loss. He still has more than 150,000 troops in his hands. Qin Xufei suffered a loss because he could not replenish the attrition, covering a wide area, and the people were still hostile, so even if he sent troops to fight, the rear base area must be left heavily guarded, and he could not do his best.

In this battle with the Suncheon army, he brought no more than 50,000 soldiers to the front line. But after Fang Qingchen appeared. He issued an order for the full transfer of troops and food. It is impossible not to oppress and bully the people in a short period of time, and to recklessly transfer the troops in the rear to guard the situation, which will inevitably give the people who still have Chu in their hearts an opportunity to cause chaos. He is not unaware of these consequences. However, he had no choice.

He couldn't sit idly by and watch Liu Heng be killed. I didn't dare to give Fang Qingchen another chance to sit big. If you don't take advantage of Fang Qingchen's unstable foothold now, the people in the sphere of influence will be exhausted and poor. After chasing and fighting, when Fang Qingchen let the south recover, the end of their army will come.

He could see through this situation, and it was impossible for Fang Qingchen not to see through it. He is frantically moving troops. The Chu army on the other side was not idle. More and more generals in the army. More and more heavy grain and grass are flowing into the torrent of confrontation.

After the Qin army had made the most adequate preparations for a major battle that might break out at any time, it was early in the morning. On the other side of the Huai River, several small boats came. The ship was still in the middle of the river, and a large number of Qin troops were already holding bows and swords, guarding the riverside.

Through the early morning fog, everything on the ship gradually became clear. The sergeants along the river were all stunned, so shocked that they couldn't speak, forgot to intercept them, and even forgot to report to the commander for a while. After being stunned for a long time, someone finally ran to the big tent of the Chinese army in Qin Xu's enclave:

"Your Highness! Your Highness ......"

The big tent of the Qin Army, which had the most neat military regulations, actually happened that the summons soldiers went directly to the ground without waiting for the communication. The tent guard was about to draw his sword to stop him, when the messenger shouted, "Boat! Boat! General Yoo ...... on the ship"

The sergeant guarding the tent suddenly forgot that his responsibility should be to kill all trespassers, and they were stunned on the spot. There was a loud bang in the tent, like the sound of a table toppling over, and then they felt a gust of wind pass by, and they almost couldn't even open their eyes. When he calmed down again, he only had time to see the corner of the fiery red ground, flashing away in front of him.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Do you really think this won't backfire?"

No one could stop Fang Qingchen, but the only one who had the courage to question him face to face was Zhao Wangchen, an apprentice who didn't know what to respect the teacher for.

Fang Qingchen looked at the misty river in the distance, and there was a smile on his face that Zhao Wuchen was quite familiar with and could judge as evil without hesitation.

"If you want to take it, you must give it first."

Zhao Wangchen's face was full of "I don't believe you would be so kind".

Fang Qingchen thought it was funny. The whole army was quite suspicious of his behavior, but others thought he was too pedantic, and only Zhao Wangchen decided that he had ulterior motives. But this time, he really didn't have any intentions.

He just gave Liu Heng back to the Qin people. didn't secretly poison Liu Heng, didn't try to find someone Liu Heng cared about to threaten him to go back as an internal response, and didn't lose Liu Heng's soul and try to make him assassinate Qin Xufei...... This time, he really didn't do anything.

He just figured it out.

In terms of situation, he is stronger than Qin Xufei. He is strong enough, so the conspiracy is enough, so why conspire? Qin Xufei is a smart person, a smart person who knows how not to be impulsive. Qin Xufei is still a hero, a gentleman.

If you are smart enough and know how to be tactful, you can go to the dark without going all the way. As for the gentleman...... A gentleman, you can deceive him.

After the battle of Huaijiang, he must have cut off all illusions about the big brother of Qin behind him. The Qin army assembled on the other side of the river looked mighty, but in fact it was a desperate poor army. Even if he can beat the other Fang Qingchen, so what? If it really comes to that point, the Qi State adjacent to Southern Chu will definitely be very interested in carving up the Chu State with the Qin State without any effort or risk. The eldest brother behind Qin Xufei, as long as he added a finger casually, he could cooperate with Qi Guo and cut off his life.

Then, Qin Xufei was still a gentleman. Since he can really die for Liu Heng, since if someone uses Liu Heng to threaten the Qin army. He can really grit his teeth and refuse. So, what if the other side is not a threat? What if the other party Qingchen didn't mention any conditions at all?

couldn't repay this love, he remembered that he wanted to fight with other Fang Qingchen, and it was inevitable that he would lack some confidence.

Fang Qingchen smiled. Conscience is such a thing as a harmful thing. Of course, he didn't expect Qin Xufei to vote for him as Liu Heng and repay him as Ruohong. But as long as he has this guilt, in front of him, he will naturally have the intention of retreating. He wants land, which is the meaning of this retreat. This kind of concession, he will take advantage of it to the fullest.

In this era of underdeveloped information. People and people

It is impossible to judge the matter on a case-by-case basis, and cannot expect strict contracts and fair legal information to guarantee and protect. Naturally, in this day and age. Fame and prestige, which are ethereal things in the eyes of future generations, are willing to be relied upon. That's why it's very important. Because there is a real lack of better and more accurate alternatives.

In this environment, the martial artists, who are a little enthusiastic and have a little ability, are inevitably romantic and heroic. When fighting people, the enemy horse stumbled. You can't take his life when he falls off his horse. Instead, you have to wave your hand, shout, you change horses and fight again! The two border generals will fight wits and courage. The marshal of this country was sick, and the generals of that country sent a doctor to see him and bring him medicine. The generals of that country loved to drink, and the marshal of that country also collected good wine for him and sent it to him. Don't be careful, it's poisonous! Because the other party will not do such a thing!

The most important thing is that they ate and drank without blinking, and in the end, it was really possible that they were not poisoned.

Whether in history books or folklore, this is called a beautiful talk. But in Fang Qingchen's view, this is purely risking the future and lives of the officers and soldiers of the whole army to gamble on his own bravery and judgment. However, if his opponent is willing to do so, he is not against it at all.

Xiao Yuanfeng, Zhuo Lingyun, and these people all have some of this kind of tendency, but they have been trained by Fang Qingchen, and they are much more mature and transparent. And Qin Xufei was too young when he joined the army, and he was a prince, standing tall enough. Then, the darkness and injustice in the army, he feels much shallower. This kind of heroic romanticism is already deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Even though there have been many setbacks over the years, the hearts of young people have gradually become cold, and the edges and corners have gradually become rounded, but the country has never been easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.

Fang Qingchen can be both hard and soft, in order to achieve the goal, do a good job, and change in an instant, it is a breeze. Since you treat others with yourself, you want to imagine our Qingchen as a hero in the open and upright, then I will really be a "hero" last time. After you have already prepared for the worst, I will suddenly send Liu Heng back to you alive......

Thinking of the impact on Qin Xufei's soul on the other side at this moment, and the extreme joy, the great gratitude and apology to Fang Qingchen, Fang Qingchen pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.

yes, that's a pretty evil smile.

Qin Xufei, I said, I will give you a big surprise, and you have to agree to my request.

――――――――――――――――

"Ah Heng!" Qin Xufei rushed over like a gust of wind and called out his friend's name loudly. With his hands on his shoulders, he looked at him several times with surprise, joy and puzzlement, to make sure that he really didn't have a missing arm or leg, and stood in front of him alive, before he finally remembered to be surprised: "How could he let you come back?" ”

"He suddenly came to see me this morning and said to let me come back, I didn't believe it, who ......knows" Liu Heng shook his head, and was also puzzled: "Although he said that although he wanted to exchange me for the abolished emperor, but since you insisted on not changing, he didn't want to kill the hero, so he was willing to return me and the other brothers to you." Before sending me on the boat, he also said that he had other plans to save me, and now he has failed to do so, so we owe him nothing. In the future, when they meet on the battlefield, they will fight according to their abilities, and there is no need to show mercy. ”

Qin Xufei was stunned on the spot, and only after a while did he sigh: "Fang Qingchen is so unscrupulous? ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly. Fang Qingchen may be pretending to be generous, but no matter what, he saved their lives, and he also released them back unconditionally. Even if it's a fake, it's a good fake. If it was Qin Xufei in the past, he would definitely return Chu Ruohong to Fang Qingchen and ask for peace of mind. Now, he wasn't worried that Qin Xufei would do such a stupid thing. Although he will have trouble sleeping because he owes this great favor, he will not be willful after all, and let go of his interests and lose his rewards.

Liu Heng sighed lightly: "Fang Qingchen said that if His Royal Highness is uneasy about this matter, please give him a face, have a drink with him, and return his affection for saving me." ”

Qin Xufei was shocked, and said in a lost voice: "Fang Qingchen wants to see me." ”

Liu Heng nodded: "Fang Qingchen told me that in order to show that he has no malicious intentions, the two sides can meet above the Huaijiang River." His Royal Highness entered the river by boat, Fang Qingchen boarded the boat again, and there were no other ships on both sides of the river. If the officers and men of the two armies are not at ease, they can prepare heavy troops and ships on the riverside to deal with the situation. ”

Before the words fell, there were already generals on the side who whispered: "Your Highness, Fang Qingchen's martial arts are peerless, we need to prevent him from assassinating!" ”

Liu Heng smiled bitterly: "Fang Qingchen also has an explanation, his martial arts are famous, although His Royal Highness's martial arts are also known to the world, but the safety of the whole army is in danger, if you want to be light, you will be strong, I am afraid that the generals in the tent will be powerful." So, he will be bare-handed and unarmoured? Sharp weapon, board His Highness's boat alone to show his sincerity. And the oars and boats on His Highness's ship, we can all choose those who are good at fighting in the army to replace them......"

Qin Xufei frowned slightly: "He arranged it like this, when I was ...... something?"

Liu Heng shook his head: "Your Highness, when I was leaving, he explained very sincerely, and in this arrangement, there was no deliberate contempt and insult, but His Highness was too heavy, and the soldiers must have many concerns. ”

There's really not much more to say. What should be said has been said by Fang Qingchen. It's just a meeting, everyone has retreated to this, and the big favor owed to him here is still hot, who is embarrassed to say no?

On the other side, Fang Qingchen was still smiling. Qin Xufei, you are a gentleman, then you must know that there is no free lunch in this world. Since I have saluted you by a foot, then, now, you are ready to pay homage to me.

He waved his hand in a dashing manner: "Prepare the boat for me." ”

Because he was extremely dissatisfied with the boss's overly bold actions, Ling Fang procrastigated and refused to act: "Qin Xufei hasn't replied yet." When he agreed, it was not too late to prepare. ”

"No, he'll say yes." Fang Qingchen laughed: "Go quickly!" I can't wait! ”
