CHAPTER XV

Shangguan Yuanji asked, "Lord Lu, what do you think of the king's trip to Besa to welcome his relatives this time?"

"Oh......" Lu Hao groaned for a moment and said, "Naturally, it went smoothly and returned home to marry Princess Besa." ”

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said, "Many ministers in the court are worried, thinking that Beisa may have the intention of harming the king, don't you think so?"

Lu Hao nodded in response: "The lower officials think ...... Bessa will not harm the king. ”

This point coincided with Shangguan Yuanji's speculation, and he didn't ask Lu Hao why he said, and said: "Lord Lu, if the king successfully marries back Princess Besa, what will happen to our country?"

Naturally, Tia was sent to the army. Lu Hao said secretly in his heart, but he understood that Shangguan Yuanji would ask such a stupid question, and there must be something in it. He pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "There are many borders between Tia and Ningdi, including many cities and villages, and our army can pretend to be the Duki army and launch a sneak attack on some villages, so that our country has a legitimate reason to send troops, and our country and Besa have been married, and Besa will never help." If the soldiers in front of our army fight smoothly and can defeat the Duckey army, our country can also send envoys to Bessa, lobby the king of Besa, send troops to Duki, and annex it in one fell swoop, so that it will be profitable for Besa, and the most important thing is that our country can never suffer in the future. ”

After Lu Hao finished speaking, Shangguan Yuanji straightened his waist, smiled, and turned his eyes to look at Qiu Zhen, which undoubtedly meant to say: How is it? This Lu Hao I recommended is a talent, right?

Qiu Zhen smiled, most of the ingredients of a bitter smile, these civilian officials can't lead troops to fight, but when it comes to using conspiracy methods and playing with power, they can definitely be called first-class. He said: "Lord Lu is really the pillar of my gale!"

From his words, it was difficult to hear whether it was sincere praise or cynicism, Lu Hao's face was slightly red, and he bowed his hand and said: "Qiu Xiang has won the award, and he will kill the lower official." ”

"On this trip, you have to try your best to assist the king, although the king is wise, but sometimes he is easy to be impulsive when encountering problems, you can't be ashamed of Shangguan Cheng's recommendation to you!"

"Yes, yes, yes! The lower official will do his best. Lu Hao nodded repeatedly.

Regarding Lu Hao's opinion just now, Qiu Zhen thought about it seriously, and felt that Lu Hao's idea was really feasible, and this was also one of the best ways for his side to send troops to Tia, it seemed that he should start preparing for the military uniforms and armor of the Du Ji Army now......

Two days later, Tang Yin set off for Besa.

The military generals who accompanied Tang Yin were Jiang Fan, Shangguan Brothers, Ah San and Ah Si, the civil officials had Lu Hao, and the soldiers below were Tang Yin's personal guards of 5,000 people, 5,000 people directly under the army, and 100 people with hidden arrows, and 100 elite people from the Duwei battalion, which were people who could fight, and there were many slaves and retinues, and there were many carriages in the team, most of which were filled with dowries, and the other part was the grain and grass needed on the road, baggage, etc.

This team of more than 10,000 people can also be called a huge battle, leaving Yancheng and going all the way north to Besa.

Since entering Yancheng and becoming the King of Wind, Tang Yin has conquered the east and west, but he has never gone north, and the north of the Wind Country is the place where he started his army. Along the way, Tang Yin was familiar with many places and cities he passed, and he even clearly remembered how many brothers were killed and how many enemies he destroyed when he conquered this place.

The most boring thing on the road for Tang Yin is that there are too few people who can speak, Brother Shangguan and Ah San Ah Si are responsible for protecting Tang Yin's safety, and they must always be on guard and unable to be distracted, and Lu Hao, who has nothing to do like Tang Yin, is a stuffy gourd, he is not good at words, and he is very restrained in front of Tang Yin, so as long as Tang Yin does not speak, he will not take the initiative to speak.

Tang Yin is not a person who talks a lot, but even he is almost unbearable because of the lifeless atmosphere around him.

On this day, he called Lu Hao into his carriage. Tang Yin's carriage has a lot of space, and even if there are five or six people sitting in it, it will not feel crowded. After Lu Hao came in, he knelt at the door of the car in a proper manner, didn't dare to raise his head, and asked cautiously, "What do you have to call Weichen to the king?"

Tang Yin was almost angry, and said, "Can't you call over to sit and talk if you're fine?"

Lu Hao was frightened, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Tang Yin frowned and said, "There are not so many rules in front of me, and there is no need to kowtow at every turn." "When Tang Yin's self-proclaimed 'me', it means that he didn't treat the other party as an outsider, but Lu Hao was not familiar with Tang Yin's habits, although he sat up straight, he still lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.

"We're on our way to Kannan County, right?"

"Back to the king, we will arrive in Kannan County this afternoon. The implication is that it's not there yet.

"Where are you staying tonight?"

"You can live in Nakamichi Castle. Wechen has sent someone to ride a fast horse to take the first step and go to Zhongdao City, so that the other side is ready to meet the car. Lu Hao Zhengse said.

Tang Yin nodded secretly, quite satisfied with Lu Hao's work, but felt that he spoke too rigidly, had no personal feelings, and looked like he was completely businesslike. Tang Yin snorted softly.

Lu Hao's heart was shocked, thinking that the king was dissatisfied with his arrangement, and hurriedly asked, "Does the king think it is inappropriate to stay in Zhongdao City?"

Tang Yin deliberately embarrassed, and said: "This king travels, he has always been simple, and he doesn't like to worry and alarm places, you send someone to Zhongdao City again, and tell him there, this king will not spend the night in the city, only pass through the city." Tonight, we set up camp in the wilderness. ”

Lu Hao grinned, for the past few days, he had spent the night in the cities he passed through, and he hadn't heard anything wrong with the king, so why didn't he suddenly want to alarm the place today? He boldly said: "The king, sleeping in the wild is inconvenient, and it is too dangerous, in case there is an assassin ......."

"Wouldn't it be good if an assassin came to assassinate the king?" Before Lu Hao finished speaking, Tang Yin continued: "This king is looking for the whereabouts of those assassins, and if the other party takes the initiative to come to the door, it will save the king a lot of trouble." What's the matter? Lord Lu thinks that this king can't win against just a few assassins?"

Lu Hao shuddered in fright, and said repeatedly: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't dare." ”

"Then arrange it according to the king's will. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Lu Hao nodded in agreement and retreated out of the car.

Seeing his submissive look, Tang Yin didn't even bother to say a word to him, and said angrily: "Call Jiang Fan over." ”

"Yes, King!"

Finally retreated to the outside of the car, Lu Hao sighed, stood at the door of the carriage, and bowed deeply to the car, and then turned to leave.

According to Tang Yin's meaning, Lu Hao found Jiang Fan and explained to him that the king had summoned him. Jiang Fan nodded, and was about to see him, when he found that Lu Hao's complexion was not good, and he had sweat on his forehead, and asked, "Lord Lu, are you not feeling well?"

"No, no, Xia Guan's body is very good...... "I was just intimidated by the king's yin and yang weirdness. The second half of the sentence Lu Hao didn't dare to say.

Jiang Fan looked at him strangely, couldn't understand what was going on, and finally shook his head and turned his horse towards Tang Yin's carriage.

Lu Hao didn't talk much in front of Tang Yin, it was out of restraint, and Jiang Fan said even less, it was because of his nature. Jiang Fan entered the king's carriage, only said the king, and then disappeared. Tang Yin didn't have anything to say, and asked, "Jiang Fan, have you ever been here before?"

"Never came. ”

"At the beginning, I led the army all the way to Yancheng from here. Tang Yin said with a smile, and when he spoke, his face naturally showed a smug look.

"The king is wise and martial!" Jiang Fan praised from the bottom of his heart, but the words were still pitiful.

Tang Yin lifted the curtains, looked out for a while, and said, "On our east side, it should be Yicheng, right?"

"Yes, King. ”

"The defense of Yicheng City is extremely strong, and it took a lot of effort for our army to attack Yicheng at that time. ”

"Oh!" Jiang Fan replied softly.

Tang Yin said that Jiang Fanying, often the former said a long list of words, and the latter couldn't even reply to ten words, and after talking for a while, Tang Yin suddenly felt bored, and now he suddenly found that the two people recommended by Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen to him were really not wise choices.

It was already evening when Tang Yin's team passed through Zhongdao City, but it did not stop, and directly passed through the city and continued to rush north. The local officials who had already lined up to greet them were also busy in vain, and they couldn't even see Tang Yin's face.

As Tang Yin wished, at night, the team walked to a place where there was no village in front and no store in the back and stopped, Jiang Fan and Lu Hao went to see Tang Yin together and asked, "King, camp here tonight?"

Walking out of the carriage, Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around, on both sides of the official road, on one side of the barren grassland, on the other side of the mountains and forests, it was pitch black, and there were no people. He nodded, stretched out his hand to the meadow, and said, "Camp on the prairie." Tang Yin is not good at the art of war, but he also understands that it is spring, the climate is dry, and it is not suitable for camping in the mountains and forests, and once a fire breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Jiang Fan and Lu Hao should have given up, and they both went to arrange manpower and set up camp.

The camp of more than 10,000 people was not large, but it was not small, and it only took half an hour for the wind army to set up the camp, and groups of soldiers walked around the camp from time to time.

After dinner, Tang Yin sat in the tent for a while, walked out, and when he got outside, he happened to see Jiang Fan, he waved his hand, called Jiang Fan over, and asked, "Are there villages and towns around here?"

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, "There are no people within ten miles here, but there is a mountain temple on the opposite mountain, but according to the brother who inquired, the mountain temple has been abandoned for a long time. ”

"Mountain Temple?" Tang Yin thought for a moment and said, "Since we are passing by here, let's go to the Mountain Temple to worship." ”
