Peerless Pirates

"My son Boyan paid homage to Emperor Dawei: On August 21st, my son welcomed the Qi envoy Song Zheng to the Kuizhou Prefecture. At first he wanted to scare him with military force, but his face did not change and he smiled softly.

The latest chapter of the rebirth of the rich man. Three more generals were selected to compete in the martial arts arena the next day. Their personal guard Zhang Chong arrived at the first general, and the guard general Zu Jie

An arrow beats a general. Song Zheng himself fought against my famous general Long Zhanfeng with two spears. He handled it with ease and his skills were amazing. Everyone was shocked. However, he won without being arrogant, won without being arrogant, and had an excellent demeanor. My son and minister also

I heard that Xue Qimeng, a talented Hanlin scholar, wrote hundreds of antithetical couplets with him at the head of the river. It can be seen from this that his talent and thinking are astute..."

In the secret room, Lou Jing held the memorial written by Lang Boyan. After reading a few lines, he frowned and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the Holy One will be unhappy if you write so straightforwardly."

Lang Boyan smiled and said, "Even if I don't write it, the higher ups will still know. Do you think Fengjie City is really rigid? If I don't say it, Xue Qimeng will say it after he arrives in Chengdu, not to mention the hidden clues from the higher ups. You go there

See you next time!”

Lou Jing nodded and glanced behind him.

"...Song Zheng was a genius in the world. He lived up to his reputation as the best in both civil and military affairs. He was also a great man in the world. His sons and ministers admired him very much and called him sir. They took advantage of the opportunity of sending him back to the capital to learn from him.

I hope it will be helpful."

Lou Jing's frown deepened, "Your Highness, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"His Highness praised Envoy Qi so much that he even wanted to bow down to him. His Majesty may be angry."

"It's better to be angry!" Lang Boyan said proudly, "The more I defend Song Xiaolang, the less others will doubt me. It's best if the entire Chengdu Mansion is jealous of Song Zheng. In that case, if something happens to Song Zheng, it will be even worse

There is no doubt on my head."

Lou Jing suddenly realized, "That's it! Your Highness's plan is very clever! But...don't you think it's too aggrieved?"

Lang Boyan laughed loudly, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters and just call me sir a few times. Does Song Xiaolang really dare to ask me to teach him the etiquette? Besides, the young emperor of Qi Dynasty calls him Master Song, so it doesn't matter if I call him sir."

Big deal.”

"That's true." Lou Jingyi smiled.

Lang Boyan took the memorial and used his private seal, then called his servants and immediately sent someone to Chengdu.

After chatting for a while, Lou Jing hesitated and then said, "At today's banquet, His Highness invited Su Chan to sing, it seemed..."

"What does it look like? Is there something wrong?" Lang Boyan walked to Su Chan's portrait and carefully looked at the beautiful face that he had seen thousands of times.

"Su Chan was originally sent to Daqi by our Shu Kingdom. When he was in Jiangning, he worked for Lord Jiang Kui. Now His Highness has revealed to Song Zheng that he and Su Chan are old acquaintances. I'm afraid that Song Xiaolang will doubt His Highness and Lord Jiang.

relation."

"How many twists and turns have we made? How could Song Zheng have thought of this so easily? Besides, it was only in the past few years that I asked Mr. Jiang to cooperate. Even Su Chan didn't know about it, let alone Song Zheng?"

Lang Boyan took two steps forward, rubbed Su Chan's red lips in the portrait, and then said, "I looked carefully at Song Xiaolang's expression at the banquet. Although he concealed it very well, he still let me see it.

A clue. Song Zheng is already wary of Cicada. After today's incident, I'm afraid he will avoid it even more, so that's just what I want."

"Your Highness, you are too obsessed with Miss Su."

Lang Boyan turned his head and glanced at Lou Jing. Lou Jing shivered in fright and quickly bowed down.

"Lou Jing, do you think I deliberately revealed that Chan'er and I were old acquaintances in order to create a gap between Song Zheng and Chan'er? To tell you the truth, no!" Lang Boyan twirled his fingers, as if he could feel it The hand was as smooth as a stick, "Chan'er has a crush on that Song Xiaolang. I'm afraid that she will fall in and leak all her background and background to Song Zheng. What we need to be more prepared for is that Chan'er will spy on Master Jiang and his relationship with Song Zheng. If I tell Song Zheng about my relationship, then all our efforts will be wasted."

"My subordinates have misunderstood." Lou Jing gave a long salute, "The most important thing now is to make Song Zheng trust His Highness. Therefore, Miss Su cannot be allowed to have contact with Song Zheng again. Your Highness will accompany Song Zheng to Chengdu tomorrow, and we will also have to Keep an eye on Miss Su and don’t let her communicate with Song Zheng again. After arriving in Chengdu, Mr. Jiang will probably make arrangements. Of course, if His Highness brings Miss Su into his room..."

Lang Boyan waved his hand, "It's good that you know. The gap between Song Zheng and Su Chan is already deep, and with me by my side, Su Chan has no chance of secretly communicating with Song Zheng. As for arriving in Chengdu, no surprise, Song Zheng The safety of Zheng and others should be protected by Mr. Jiang, so I don’t need to worry about it."

"Everything is planned by His Highness!" Lou Jing bowed respectfully.

"Brother Zheng, Master Fan asked me to protect your safety before I came, so you should let me accompany you to Chengdu Mansion!" Zu Jie repeatedly advised Song Zheng in his room.

"Young Master, General Zu's words make sense. Although Lang Boyan respects the Young Master very much, I always feel that something is wrong. General Zu's archery skills are unparalleled. With him here, the Young Master's safety will be more guaranteed." Zhang Chongyi was anxious. typical.

"You don't need to say any more." Song Zheng sat on a chair and used a tea lid to gently scrape a few tea leaves floating on the tea. "If the people of Shu are not good for me, no matter how many people they bring, they won't be enough to kill them." , It is useless to have one more Zujie. Tomorrow morning, I will send Zujie to the boat first, and then we will go west with Lang Boyan."

"But..." Zu Jie was still unwilling to give in.

Song Zheng smiled and said, "Zujie, one more person means more worries. It's easier for me and Zhang Chong to do things. You can rest assured. The latest chapter of Infinite Escape. Back then, I was trapped in the Dajin Palace alone for a year. Why don't you come out as usual? It doesn't matter, if the timing is wrong, I will escape from Chengdu. It's not that easy for the Shu people to capture me."

"Trapped in the Dajin Palace?" Zu Jie and Zhang Chong looked at each other. They really didn't know that Song Zheng had such a life.

Song Zheng did not hide anything and simply explained a few words. Even if Song Zheng explained briefly, Zu Jie and Zhang Chong were shocked. They really could not imagine that Song Zheng actually had such a thrilling story.

"You should be relieved now? If the time is not right, I will try to escape. Zhongdu can't trap me, and the same goes for Chengdu!" Song Zheng said calmly, "Besides, it's good now, the second prince of Shu calls me Sir, if I don't enjoy this filial piety, I would be sorry for him."

Shaanzhou, Luoyang Guanqi Army Camp.

Pang Hui was lying on the couch with bloodshot face, looking through the latest battle report. Duan Ren and Gao Dingshan stood under the couch, holding hands and saying nothing. Fu Hai was carefully baking a slender piece of hibiscus paste next to him, which was warm and greasy. The aroma permeates the room and is intoxicating.

After a cup of tea, Pang Hui leaned back, resting his neck on the pillow, closed his eyes and sighed, "For twenty days of bloody battle, under Tongguan City, more than 30,000 soldiers were killed or injured, and Tongguan could not be conquered for a long time. Could it be that God is so naive?" Do you want me to sit back and wait for this opportunity?"

"My lord, don't be anxious. Two days ago, our army almost attempted to ascend Tongguan. If it had not been for the sudden reinforcements from Xixia, our army would have defeated them long ago. After these two days of bloody battles, the enemy's reinforcements have also been exhausted, and we will definitely be able to ascend the city in the next two days. Gao Dingshan comforted him softly.

"Reinforcements, hum! Li Yuanqing has less than 100,000 troops in total, 40,000 at Tongguan, 20,000 at Aoguan, another 10,000 guarding Chang'an, and the rest are stationed in various places in Guanzhong. Can you tell me where these reinforcements come from?"

Gaodingshan remained silent.

Pang Hui replied in his own mind, "Xiao Dingguo was really right. Da Jin drove away the wolf and occupied Danzhou, Yanzhou and Ningzhou first, cutting off the passage between Guanzhong and beyond the Great Wall, but he did not rush southward, but instead Aiming at Yan'an Prefecture and Huanzhou in the north, we sit back and watch as we fight to the death with Li Yuanqing. If my guess is correct, these reinforcements are transferred back from the north of the Weihe River."

"Li Yuanqing actually sat back and watched Dajin annex the Northland?"

"What can I do if I don't sit back and watch?" Pang Hui coughed several times, and the handkerchief tightly covering his mouth was already splattered with blood. Pang Hui wiped his lips clean quietly and continued, "Li Yuanqing knows he can't resist. The coalition forces of Daqi and Dajin live in the area, so they have to defend Chang'an. He can't take care of the north of the Wei River, so he can only block us at Tongguan. Presumably he has received a hint from Dajin and knows about our relationship with Dajin. March plan. Only then will troops be moved from the north of Weihe River. What I'm worried about is that Li Yuanqing will move all his troops to Tongguan, and reinforcements will continue to flow."

"I have already informed the Jiezhou Jin Army camp. We have to take the road to Tongzhou, from the north of the Wei River to the back of Xixia. But...it's just that the Xixia Army is very guarded against me, from the mouth of the Wei River to the Bay Valley on the Yellow River in the north. There are heavy troops in the town, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to land ashore." Gaodingshan also had a serious look on his face.

Pang Hui felt as if there was a stone pressing on his chest and couldn't breathe. He called out to Fu Hai with difficulty, and Fu Hai quickly handed the newly installed pipe to Pang Hui's mouth.

After taking a few deep breaths, Pang Hui felt better and said slowly, "I have also thought of a few strategies in the past few days, which are better than nothing. You and Xiao Dingguo can discuss it and see if they can be used."

Fu Hai picked up a piece of paper from the table beside the bed and handed it to Gao Dingshan.

Gao Dingshan looked at it intently, smiling slightly.

"Okay, Dingshan, you go down first."

Gao Dingshan bowed his hands and walked out of the room.

"How is the situation in the army?" Pang Hui asked again, naturally asking Duan Ren.

"It's pretty stable. Only one general from the former Tokyo Pass, who once drunkenly talked about military aircraft and uttered war-weary words, has already won it."

"kill!"

"yes!"

Pang Hui took a deep breath of opium smoke and said helplessly, "The war is not going well and the soldiers will have complaints. It is inevitable. But at this time, we cannot relax. Once we relax, it will be all over."

Pang Hui's voice was low, as if he was talking to himself.

After a while, Pang Hui suddenly asked, "Where is Song Zheng?"

"Song Zheng? Oh, my subordinates heard that he left Zigui on August 14th. It should be Fengjie now."

"Fengjie, Fengjie," Pang Hui muttered several times, and suddenly said, "Fu Hai, take out the Golden Tiger Token. Ask Duan Ren to send someone to find Chihu, and ask her to go to Bashu in person to protect Song Zheng."

"Prince, you..." Fu Hai looked at Pang Hui in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to give it to Princess Wei?"

"Weier has Yingji and Yang Dong by her side, so it should be enough."

Seeing that Fu Hai was still hesitating, Pang Hui said, "Xiao Dingguo had anticipated the current battle situation, and Fan Zhitong and Song Zheng, who were far away in Shuguan, had also anticipated this battle situation, so they wrote me a secret letter. I The strategies I just gave to Gao Dingshan came from Song Zheng and Fan Zhitong. Especially the clever ideas in them are very likely to come from Song Zheng. However, I can't tell Gao Dingshan clearly, lest I make all the generals jealous."

"Your Majesty, Song Zheng went to Shu alone. If there is any danger, it might not be easy to deal with even if Chi Hu goes away."

"Chihu is different from ordinary people. With her, Song Zheng should be a little safer." Pang Hui said slowly, "You also know the situation in Jiangning. If I die here, there will probably be immediate action over there. Huang Yuandu It's unreliable, and even some high-ranking officials who have always claimed to be loyal to me will also let the wind take control. If things really come to a head, perhaps only Song Xiaolang can have a little bit of power to turn things around."
