On the day Yang Longyue left Dongliang County, Su Yuchi, the general stationed in Yunyang, sent someone to send an invitation, but invited Hu Xiaotian to go to the east of Yunyang and Heisha, a small city on the west bank of the Wangchun River, to discuss the matter of ensuring the autumn harvest.
This invitation came relatively suddenly, and inviting Hu Xiaotian to the vicinity of Yunyang at this time cannot but make people doubt his motives.
After hearing about this, most of the generals were opposed, and the leader was Yu Tianxing.
Yu Tianxing said: "The lord must not go, although the black sand is located in the middle of our western border and Yunyang, but it is located in the west of the Wangchun River, in fact, it is within the control of Su Yuchi, Su Yuchi is the general of Dakang, and the lord is called a traitor by Dakang, I think what is just an excuse to suppress bandits, his real purpose is to be unfavorable to the lord." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The person he invited is not only me, but also Xingzhou Guo Guangbi, as well as Xichuan Li's, this spring's crops are growing gratifying, if there is no accident can usher in a long-lost harvest year, this harvest is extremely important to the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, to the people on both sides of the Wangchun River, Su Yuchi proposed that everyone discuss together, temporarily suspend the army, and it is reasonable to win a bumper harvest. ” Yu Tianxing said: "But the west of the Wangchun River is not under our control, Su Yuchi proposed that each side can only lead a thousand people to go, you must know that the garrison in Yunyang has nearly 50,000 people, and it is only a hundred miles away from the small city of Heisha, once Su Yuchi has ulterior motives, I am afraid that it will be too late for our army to rush over after receiving the news." ” Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Su Yuchi's vision will not be so small, if he dares to make a hindrance from it, he will have to risk a full-scale development, and he really has to fight, and this harvest year that he was finally able to usher in is over, and it is not only us who are unlucky."
It's not just the soldiers, but also the people, the people have experienced years of famine, and they can finally usher in a bumper harvest, Su Yuchi must weigh the pros and cons, I think he values this autumn harvest more than us.
If there is no harvest this autumn, Yunyang's generals will not be able to support it. ” Zhao Wusheng said: "The lord's words are reasonable, but the concerns of the military advisor are also very reasonable, I still know a little bit about Su Yuchi, this person's ability to lead troops to fight can definitely be called the top three in Dakang, and this person must not be taken lightly." ” Hu Xiaotianli decided to go to Yunyang in person, this trip was very important to him, before going to Tianxiang Kingdom, the crisis in the rear must be resolved, although Su Yuchi was loyal to Dakang.
But his allegiance is Long Xuanen, and now that Long Xuanen is dead, Qiqi keeps this matter a secret, if he reveals the truth to Su Yuchi, it is difficult to guarantee that his position will not be loosened.
On the matter of going to Yunyang, Zhuge Guanqi and Hu Xiaotian had the same opinion, and he decided to accompany Hu Xiaotian to Yunyang, except for the two of them.
Hu Xiaotian called Huo Shengnan and Chang Fanqi to accompany him.
This trip brought a total of 1,000 soldiers and horses, escorted by 10,000 sailors led by Zhao Wusheng.
Follow the Yongjiang River upriver and enter the tributary Wangchun River.
Hu Xiaotian and his entourage landed near the Tongyuan Bridge, which was destroyed when Jiang Zhengyang fled and has not been repaired, and it is also a relatively narrow section of the Wangchun River.
Zhao Wusheng said to Hu Xiaotian: "Lord, you land from here."
It takes about two days to go to Heisha, and I will lead these 10,000 soldiers to stop nearby, and if there is an abnormal situation on the other side of Heisha, we will go to meet it immediately. ” Hu Xiaotian and Zhuge Guanqi glanced at each other, and both of them laughed.
Zhao Wusheng apparently still thinks their trip is risky.
Zhuge Guanqi said: "General Zhao, if there is any abnormal situation, even if you receive the news as soon as possible, it will be too late when you arrive."
However, if General Zhao senses that the situation on the other side of Heisha City is not good, he can feint to attack Yunyang, which is only a day and night away from Yunyang, and surviving Wei to rescue Zhao can relieve our pressure. ” Zhao Wusheng nodded and said, "Just according to what Mr. said." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Wu Sheng, you just have to rest assured, we are going to peace talks this time, not to fight, and Su Yuchi's choice of Black Sand City is also for this purpose." ” Zhao Wusheng hugged his fists and said: "That subordinate is here to wait for the good news of the lord." ” Hu Xiaotian and Huo Shengnan marched side by side in the middle of the team, and there were still four days before the Heisha talks, so Hu Xiaotian was not in a hurry, and ordered everyone to march slowly, so that they could conserve their physical strength to the greatest extent, and by the way, they could also check the surrounding movements.
For this time let Chang Fanqi lead the army, there are also many people who raised objections, Xiong Tianba is quite unconvinced, he originally insisted on following, in the eyes of most generals Chang Fanqi is a general of Dayong, although because of his mother's request to take refuge in Hu Xiaotian, but Chang Fanqi has not made an inch since joining the camp, and he has not seen what kind of talent he has, many people think that Chang Fanqi is either in vain, or he is floating in things, and he does not really submit to Hu Xiaotian in his heart, but because of the confusion of the form, he has to get by.
It is precisely because of these rumors that Hu Xiaotian unswervingly chose Chang Fanqi, he wants to give Chang Fanqi another chance to perform, and he also wants Chang Fanqi to understand that he has no suspicions about him.
Huo Shengnan turned around and looked at the carriage and horses behind, and whispered, "I don't know why Mr.
Zhuge must follow this time." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled: "I don't approve of him coming, after all, my sister-in-law has just become pregnant, and she needs to be taken care of the most."
In fact, Hu Xiaotian understands that the reason why Zhuge Guanqi wants to personally accompany him is also because he can't rest assured, the Heisha peace talks are related to the interests of many parties, and everyone has an account in their hearts, Su Yuchi, Guo Guangbi, Li Tianheng, these people are all heroes of the dominant side, no one knows what they think in their hearts, and it is difficult to grasp the changes in the future situation.
Huo Shengnan said: "It seems that the risk this time should not be small.
She also guessed the mystery from Zhuge Guanqi in person.
Hu Xiaotian said: "No matter how big the risk is, we have to try it, if the results of the Heisha peace talks are satisfactory, then we can stabilize the situation in this area in a short time."
Even if something really happens, with our strength, there should be no problem in breaking through and retreating. ” At this time, the sky was full of dark clouds, and there was a dull thunder faintly in the distant sky, it seemed that a storm was coming, Chang Fanqi turned his horse's head and came to Hu Xiaotian's side, and asked: "Lord, it seems that it is going to rain, there is an abandoned earthen city high in front, why don't we go there to camp and rest first, and then leave after this storm." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's okay."
Everyone came to the earth city, before they had time to set up camp, a heavy rain fell, fortunately, there are many remnants of houses in the earth city can still shelter from the rain, Chang Fanqi commanded everyone to settle down and rest, seeing Chang Fanqi who commanded in the wind and rain, Hu Xiaotian's lips showed a knowing smile.
The two of them escorted Zhuge Guanqi into the room on the right side to rest, although someone helped to play the umbrella, but Zhuge Guanqi was also drenched like a chicken in soup, seeing his embarrassed appearance, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, followed Zhuge Guanqi to the room to shelter from the rain, the soldiers raised a bonfire in the open area, Hu Xiaotian and Zhuge Guanqi sat down by the bonfire, Zhuge Guanqi smiled while wiping his face: "There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, it is really not as good as the sky." ” Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "This rain came suddenly, but it just dissipated the heat, which is also a good thing for us." ” Zhuge Guanqi nodded, handed the wiped cotton towel to the guards beside him, and sat by the fire to bake clothes.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Guanqi hurry up and change your clothes."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled bitterly: "It's all wet, how can I change it." ” Hu Xiaotian asked people to bring his own special T-shirt and big pants, he changed a set, and let Zhuge Guanqi also change into a set, Zhuge Guanqi was quite curious about Hu Xiaotian's original clothes, although it felt nondescript but it felt comfortable to wear after all.
After changing, Zhuge Guanqi picked up his Confucian robe and baked it by the fire.
Hu Xiaotian said: "These clothes are all made by my sister-in-law."
Zhuge Guanqi smiled and nodded, with a sweet and happy face.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, you shouldn't come with me for this trip, my sister-in-law is now the most in need of someone to accompany her, and it's always bad if you don't have her side." ” Zhuge Guanqi said: "Isn't there Visa to accompany her?"
Hu Xiaotian looked at Zhuge Guanqi's face and said, "Brother Guanqi, although you didn't object to me coming, deep down in your heart, you must not be optimistic about this peace talks." ” Zhuge Guanqi laughed: "How can the lord think so?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you don't feel in danger, you won't personally accompany me on this trip." ” Zhuge Guanqi raised his head, his eyes met Hu Xiaotian, the two showed a knowing smile at the same time, there is a confidant between men, Zhuge Guanqi said: "Don't hide it from the lord, I think if this peace talks are successful, it will be of great benefit to the future situation, but there are too many variables in this peace talks, I can't come up with a reason to oppose you, I think it's worth coming here, but I don't feel at ease, so I have to follow and see in person." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What is the so-called variable of Brother Guanqi" Zhuge Guanqi said: "I'm not sure, there are too many variables in this, Su Yuchi, Guo Guangbi, Li Tianheng Everyone may have variables, relatively speaking, this autumn's harvest has little to do with Li Tianheng, and his territory is only a small part of the northeast corner bordering Shaoyuan, I don't think Li Tianheng may be willing to take the risk to come." ” The second more is sent.,Today's state is OK.,There should be a third change.,It's not supposed to.,It's a certain octopus code word.,The right is to compensate for yesterday's arrears.。
