Bai Sha said: "General, this matter can't be underestimated. Because this place in Haicheng is really the capital of the emperor, it is the place where the king is called the emperor. ”

"Now that Haicheng is dead, Haicheng's two sons, Haitian and Haidi are at odds with each other in order to compete for the status of successor, they are split, and among these two people, there is another Ziyang, who is known as the hero of the world, and the situation in Haicheng is very unclear. I hope that the general will send me to Haicheng to take a look, nominally to mourn, to send our condolences to Haicheng, but in fact, to see what will happen to them in the future, if Ziyang, Haitian, and Haidi unite, we can unite with them and fight against Hu Lan together, if the three of them fight, can't we take the opportunity to do something? ”

Lu Jing nodded: "Okay, you go." ”

Bai Sha looked at Lu Jing and smiled faintly: "Thank you, General." ”

Why thanks?

Because Baisha knew that it was not easy for Lu Jing to make this decision.

Because, the Lu family and the Haicheng Hai family in the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River have a feud.

Lu Jing's father was killed by Haicheng's general, and he had a grudge against killing his father.

However, politicians are not emotional, nor are they presumptuous.

After getting Lu Jing's approval, Baisha set off by boat.

When the ship arrived in Jiangling, Baisha got the news that Haidi had surrendered and Ziyang had fled.

The people around Bai Sha asked Bai Sha: "Sir, do we still want to go to Haicheng?" ”

Baisha said: "No need to go, we have to unite Ziyang." ”

The man said, "So let's sit here and wait?" ”

Bai Sha shook his head: "No, let's go meet him." ”

Bai Sha knew very well where Ziyang would pass if he wanted to flee to Jiangling, so he went north head-on.

Sure enough, he and Ziyang met.

Bai Sha said to Ziyang: "I don't know where Ziyang Gong plans to go now?" ”

Ziyang said: "I'm going to go to Cangwu Taishou. ”

Because Cangwu is too guarded, he is Ziyang's old friend.

Bai Sha smiled and said, "No need, Cangwu Taishou is just an incapable person, he can't protect himself, can he not protect you?" My opinion is that Ziyang Gong should unite with our family General Lu, and our General Lu is first-class in terms of morality, character, prestige, strength, and people. How can you unite with our General Lu and fight against Hu Lan together, won't you be able to accomplish the great cause? ”

Ziyang listened, and did not answer Baisha immediately.

Bai Sha's gaze also fell on Mingzhu beside Ziyang: "Mr. Mingzhu, I am also Mr. Mingyue's best friend." ”

Mingyue is Mingzhu's elder brother.

Mingzhu smiled faintly.

In fact, Baisha doesn't need to be close to himself at all, because Baisha's suggestion is actually in the hands of Zhongziyang.

Ziyang is now desperate, there is a person who can unite with him, how can he refute it if he asks for it.

And as for Mingzhu himself.

The plan he once made for Ziyang was to unite with Lu Jing and fight against Hu Lan.

Now that Lu Jing has taken the initiative to unite, how could they not agree.

It's just that sometimes it's just a superficial fit.

So, Mingzhu persuaded Yang again, and Ziyang readily agreed.

So, the three of them reached a verbal agreement here.

Then, they went east with Haitian and the others who came to pick them up, but they didn't go to Jiangling, but to Xiakou.

Bai Sha said: "Compared with chasing you Ziyang Gong, I believe that the Hu Guild is more interested in the treasure of Jiangling." ”

Haitian sighed: "It's just a pity that Gangneung is a place, there are a lot of military supplies here." ”

Mingzhu said lightly: "There is nothing that is more important than life, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood." ”

When they arrived in Xiakou, they arrived at the periphery of Lu Jing's sphere of influence, and Lu Jing promised to protect Ziyang and them, so that their safety would be guaranteed.

At this time, they can already take a breath.

However, Hu Lan didn't intend to let Ziyang take a breath.

After Hu Lan took Jiangling, he obtained a large amount of military supplies, so he went down the river, and the spearhead of the struggle was directed at Ziyang, he wanted to fight Xiakou and fight Ziyang.

In such a situation, Mingzhu stood up.

He said to Ziyang: "My lord, now that the matter is urgent, we should immediately ask General Lu for help." ”

Ziyang nodded heavily.

Now the situation is already very critical, in this case, Mingzhu stepped forward, Ziyang was immediately made a decision, and there was no time to hesitate at all.

Now, it is the time of defeat, between the dangers.

Mingzhu immediately followed Baisha to see Lu Jing.

This is a matter of life and death for Ziyang and others, so Mingzhu must complete the task.

It's just that this matter is not due to Ziyang, nor to the wishful thinking of Ziyang and others, nor does it depend on, or rather, does not entirely depend on Mingzhu's diplomatic talents.

It depends on Lu's interests.

Politicians make decisions based on their own interests.

And Lu Jing's political interests are completely different from Ziyang's.

Mingzhu knew very well in his heart that this task was very arduous, and this task was extremely difficult to complete.

Because, Lu Jing and Haicheng are feuding, Haicheng's general killed Lu Jing's father, Lu Jing also killed the general, and slaughtered the city.

Therefore, there is a deep estrangement between them.

Although, before this, Baisha had already sent an envoy to Haicheng to ease the relationship, and Ziyang was not Haicheng, but the estrangement still existed.

Besides, Ziyang is the general of the defeated army, and the general of the defeated army does not dare to speak bravely, what qualifications does he have to ask others to unite with him? At least, on the Yunjiang side, there are concerns. It is not cost-effective to unite Ziyang, a person who has just lost the battle.

Finally, there is himself.

He is only in his twenties now, and for Lu Jing, he is just a hairy boy, a fledgling, and he has no fame, nor does he have any official position.

However, he went without hesitation.

Because he knows very well that when the sky falls, someone should always step forward to stand up.

What's more, when he decided to follow Ziyang, some things had already been decided in his heart.

Of course, Yunjiang didn't know Mingzhu at all.

In Haicheng, there are still many scholars who respect Mingzhu.

But if you want to say how much it is respected in all aspects, you can't talk about it.

All in all, it was a very difficult mission.

After Mingzhu and Baisha arrived at the lower reaches of the Yunjiang River together, Mingzhu met Lu Jing first.

When he first met Lu Jing, Mingzhu made an extraordinary appearance.

He was sent by a force that had just lost the battle to ask for help, and in today's situation, the strongest is Hu Lan, the weakest is Ziyang, and the combination of Ziyang and Lu Jing is not a strong alliance, but a strong and weak combination.

It is not easy to convince the other party.

When the weak see the strong, they are naturally short of breath, or they can't raise their heads.

But Mingzhu is not like this, on the contrary, he behaves very atmosphericly.

When the guest and host meet, there is naturally a greeting and politeness, and after entering the main topic, Mingzhu is extraordinary.
