Seiwa

If you use eight words to describe Li Jinglong, nothing is more appropriate than gold and jade.

Li Jinglong's figure and appearance are very similar to Li Wenzhong, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, a square chin, a crimson unicorn suit, and a colorful jade belt around his waist. If you don't know the details, you will definitely say "yes" when you meet him for the first time.

The hereditary duke, the prince and grand master, the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops.

At this time, Li Jinglong was facing the most difficult and most glorious period of his life.

Not being able to defeat the King of Yan, and not being able to do business with the emperor, being sandwiched between the pair of uncles and nephews, only he himself can understand the feeling.

During his stay in Dezhou, Li Jinglong was always frowning, and the group of people who surrounded him in the past also hid away at this time.

Even if the emperor hadn't withdrawn his official seal, the few orders issued by the court were equivalent to slapping him hard.As long as you have a brain, you can guess what Cao Guogong's current situation is like.

It was in this situation that Meng Qinghe hooked up with Du Ping, tried every means to gain Du Ping's favor and trust, and thus gained the opportunity to meet Li Jinglong.

Opportunities are hard-won. If Du Ping hadn't been caught with the bait of making another contribution and meeting his family, things might not have gone so smoothly.

Meng Qinghe walked into the big tent, only took a quick glance, then knelt down to salute.

"Humble to see the general!"

He didn't dare to lift his head, and his face was full of sincerity and fear, vividly expressing the excitement and fear of a low-level pawn seeing the coach for the first time.But he was slandering in his heart, just looking at the appearance, no one would believe that the person in front of him would have the reputation of fearing war and running away.It is even more difficult to imagine that under such a dignified appearance, there is a stomach full of idiots.

Is this the so-called "appearance"?

Li Jinglong held the official document and did not lift his eyelids, as if he was too lazy to look at Meng Qinghe.

Du Ping, who accompanied him into the account, cupped his hands and said, "Zong Rong, this person has important information."

"Say."

Li Jinglong didn't cry out, Meng Qinghe could only continue to kneel.

What is this, official prestige?As for him a little soldier?

Grit your teeth, just kneel, everything is for Jing Nan!

Sooner or later, I can make up for it!

Meng Twelve Lang deliberately lowered his voice, shrugged his shoulders, and almost shivered a few times to show that he was overwhelmed by Li Zongrong's arrogance.

I have watched the special performances of historical celebrities many times, and my acting skills must soar.

"Back, back to Zongrong, when you fled humbly..."

"kindness?"

Li Jinglong glanced over, as if carrying a knife, Meng Twelve Lang immediately realized that the words were wrong, and immediately changed his words.

"On the way to retreat with Tongpao, I saw two Yanni troops fighting in the direction of Datong."

Two Yanni armies?

Li Jinglong's expression finally changed, "Can you see clearly?"

"Back to Zongrong, I dare not lie when I'm humble." Meng Qinghe's face was pale, as if he was recalling the situation at that time, "The looped jackets on them are different from those of the humble ones, and their accents are also different. They are all riding war horses. They are really scary to kill. It's not uncommon to lose an arm or a leg, and I've even seen those who lost their heads and continued to rush forward, and those who clutched their stomachs..."

"do not talk!"

Li Jinglong's face also turned pale. Meng Qinghe's words reminded him of the tragic battle under the city of Beiping, and his expression was quite ugly.

As Zhu Di said, he has never experienced a big battle, and he holds military books all day long, thinking that the battlefield is just talking and laughing while the masts and sculls are wiped out in smoke. Let such a person lead hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against the frontier army who can fight well. joke!

As the commander-in-chief of the army, he was actually frightened by the fighting scene on the battlefield, so he left the army and fled overnight.

With such a useless idiot son, Li Wenzhong knows, maybe he will die of anger again.

In the big tent, Meng Qinghe lowered his head, while Li Jinglong and Du Ping were both pale-faced, and no one spoke for a while.

After a brief silence, Li Jinglong suddenly asked, "Who was your subordinate before?"

As a southern army, but with a northern accent?

"Returning to Zongrong, his humble ancestral home is Hebei. He was originally the guard of Fuyu, and he was transferred to Shandong with hundreds of households. Before he fought against the rebellion with the Heavenly Army, he was broken by the rebels outside Beiping City. He fled all the way... retreated and was lucky. I survived. Knowing that Zong Rong is training soldiers in Dezhou, the humble and living brothers escaped through untold hardships..."

As he spoke, Meng Qinghe began to cry, his voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the tent.

"On the way to retreat, Humble and his brothers were hungry and gnawed on the bark, thirsty to drink snow water. After several heavy snowfalls, the bark couldn't be chewed, and the front teeth fell off!" Meng Qinghe said while crying, "Humble He used to be a strong man, with eight-pack abs! But now, his thighs are not as thick as his arms before, and I am afraid that even if he wants to marry a wife, he will be rejected by others. He has been sworn all the way down the road, and he will not share the sky with the traitor!"

Li Jinglong: "..."

Du Ping: "..."

If that's the case, that's pretty miserable.

"Zong Rong, the captured brothers are even worse! They are not given food or drink, and they are whipped three times a day! Zong Rong, we must avenge our brothers!"

With that said, Meng Qinghe fell to the ground, hiccupping from crying.

Li Jinglong was moved, and Du Ping burst into tears.

The southern soldiers who heard it outside the tent had their eyes red, it was so ruthless and cruel!

Meng Qinghe said a lot more intermittently, mixed with truth and lies, making it difficult for Li Jinglong to tell the difference.

Has there been a war in Datong?

There was indeed, but it was not that there was internal strife in the Yan army, but the previous encounter between Zeng Jun, governor of Jizhou, and Xu Zhong's troops, which ended with Zeng Jun being snapped by Xu Zhong.

Is there a team in Hebei that wants to join Li Jinglong?

There are also.Zeng Zhenfu's hard-core, Hebei commander Zhang Lun is indeed a red heart to Nanjing, but it is a pity that Shen Xuan led the troops to catch up.

Meng Qinghe deliberately confuses what he said, and sometimes howls a few times, letting Li Jinglong explore in his words and discover the "truth".

When offering advice to the King of Yan, Meng Qinghe had already stated that it was not necessary to tell Li Jinglong which of the bases of the King of Yan was empty, and doing it deliberately would be inferior.It is enough to make Li Jinglong tempted, thinking that sending troops into King Yan's territory at this time is likely to reap benefits and take advantage of it.

The northern land is extremely cold, and the southern army must not be used to the northern weather.Entering December, it snowed heavily for days on end, and the frontier troops stationed outside the Great Wall were a little bit overwhelmed.If you can lure Li Jinglong to send troops, you don't need to fight head-on, you just need to block their retreat path, or use suspicious soldiers to lure the army to lose their way, and lead them in circles in the snow. The bad weather is enough to become a reminder for the southern army. , let them come and go.

If the King of Yan extended a helping hand at the right time, there must be many soldiers grateful for the life-saving grace.

If Chen Dudu, who took refuge in King Yan in Zhengcunba, showed his own experience, it would be even more effective.

Compared with the coach who sent them to die, King Yan is more benevolent and righteous!We must rely on King Yan to calm down together!

This calculation can be regarded as a conspiracy, it is very crude in the eyes of resourceful people, it can only be called a child's play, but it will be very effective when used against Li Jinglong.

If it was Xu Huizu who was training troops in Dezhou at this time, King Yan would never adopt Meng Qinghe's strategy, and would reprimand him for "nonsense".

When it was Li Jinglong, Zhu Di directly approved and praised Meng Twelve Lang as "talent!"

It can be seen that beauties need to be compared, as are geniuses and idiots.

Meng Qinghe cried so much that he was finally helped out of the big tent.Of course, it may also be because of kneeling for too long, the blood is blocked.

Afterwards, Li Jinglong summoned Meng Qingjiang and several other Yan soldiers. Everyone's rhetoric was different, and only a few points could be matched, which made them more credible.

Unanimity makes people suspicious.

Yang Duo didn't show up and stayed in the tent.Ji Gang huddled in a corner of the tent, carefully looking at the dagger in Yang Tongzhi's hand. The knife flashed, and it was not as sharp as usual.

Ji Gang is very nervous, and occasionally has facial nerve disorders, which happens to anyone when their lives are threatened.

Yang Duo glanced at him, smiled, and was exceptionally handsome, "Don't worry, you're safe now."

safe now?

Is it just not safe later on?

Ji Gang shivered, lowered his head resolutely, his lips turned white, but a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

After a long time, Meng Qinghe and others came back one after another. Judging from the relaxed expressions of everyone, things should have gone smoothly.

The reason why Yang Duo didn't show up was because he was worried that Li Jinglong would become suspicious.If Ji Gang and Du Ping don't know him, Li Jinglong, who has experienced the Hongwu Dynasty and is also a noble in the court, will definitely have an impression of Yang Tongzhi, the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town.

Yang Tongzhi was Yang Duo's father. Not long after Jinyiwei was abolished, he was accused and convicted of being exiled to the frontier.After his death, his wife died for her husband. Because of his old relationship with the King of Yan, the two remaining sons were transferred to Yanshan Guard.

Family changes happened overnight, but Yang Duo and Shen Xuan have similarities.

In terms of personality and behavior, the two are very different.

Shen Xuan is an out-and-out general, while Yang Duo has rich family background outside of the battlefield.

If Ji Gang is wiped out by Meng Twelve Lang's butterfly wings, and King Yan sets up Jin Yiwei again, Yang Duo's chances of ascending to the throne are far greater than Shen Xuan's.

The biggest reason why Ji Gang didn't die well was that he was too arrogant, corrupt, reckless and reckless, he had a heart of disobedience, and dared to play the dangerous game of pointing a deer into a horse in front of Emperor Yong Le.

Since asking for a dead end to this point, who will die if he doesn't die?

So, without further ado, Zhu Di said that he himself was late, and the whole family distributed him.

Ji Gang's fault was that he forgot who he was and who was sitting on the throne.

If it was Shen Xuan or Yang Duo, as long as they didn't make such mistakes, even if they also had to take the blame for the emperor, they might not be unable to get out of it.

What's more, Jin Yiwei, who was re-established in Cheng Zunian, was not everyone's choice.

In addition to the son of a good family, there are many heroes later.

"How's it going?"

Yang Duo handed the water bag to Meng Qinghe, took out a hard cake, stuck it on the dagger and baked it.

"Everything is going well." After unscrewing the water bag, Meng Qing and Gudong Gudong took two big mouthfuls, and the water snaked out two trickles along the lower jaw and disappeared into the neckline.

Yang Duo looked away from Meng Qinghe, "Stay here or leave early?"

"What do you think?"

Meng Qinghe didn't answer Yang Duo's words directly, but also took out a piece of cake, sat by the brazier and baked it.After the aroma came out, he broke open half and handed it to Ji Gang who had been silent all this time, "Eat some, don't be disgusted."

The smell of scones rushed into his nose, Ji Gang swallowed, "Give it to me?"

"En." Meng Qinghe simply stuffed the cake into his hand, "Eat it, thanks to Brother Ji's help, things went so smoothly. When I go back, I'll treat you to roast lamb, stewed elbows, and a jug of good wine!"

Yang Duo, who was discussing with everyone whether to leave or stay, glanced over inadvertently and asked.Meng Qinghe smiled, biting the cake with one bite, puffing up one cheek.

He knew that Yang Duo wanted to kill Ji Gang, but this man couldn't die yet.

Ji, whose life was in danger, couldn't resist the temptation of the sorghum pancakes, and ate them one bite at a time, licking all the crumbs from his fingers.

Another half of the cake was handed to him, Ji Gang raised his head, Meng Qinghe held the cake in his mouth, and motioned for Ji Gang to take it.

Ji Gang didn't refuse any more, nor did he say thanks, but the circles of his eyes were a little red.

He remembered these two pancakes, and he also accepted this favor.

He is a villain, and the villain will also be grateful.

Yang Duo and the others quickly discussed and came up with a charter. It was impossible to leave all of them. Li Jinglong might call him for questioning again, but someone had to go back and report the letter.

"Twelve Lang and I will go back together." Yang Duo handed the baked pancakes to Meng Qinghe, "Gao Fu and the others stay here. Once Li Jinglong gives the order, find a way to sneak in and 'lead the way' for the army."

"Follow the order!"

Meng Qingjiang also stayed behind. Meng Qinghe opened his mouth, only to see him shaking his head at him.After thinking about it, I could only continue to grind my teeth with sorghum pancakes, without saying a word.

Ji Gang, who has been working on the scenery board, suddenly said: "If you don't dislike it, I should be able to help you."

"you?"

"Although I have no official position, how many acquaintances do I have? Whether it is delivering news or dealing with inquiries, I can save a lot of trouble by coming forward."

Everyone was silent.

Should I trust Ji Gang?Is it worth taking the risk?

What if he betrayed the remaining Yan army to Li Jinglong?

Meng Qinghe looked at Ji Gang, and he could clearly see the word ambition from that simple and honest face.

To the court, or to King Yan?

He also didn't dare to confirm.

Finally, Yang Duo nodded.

He also discovered Ji Gang's ambition, an ambitious villain, as long as he gives enough benefits, he can become a dog wagging his tail.

"Kill him immediately when you find something wrong." Yang Duo said to the remaining Yan Jun, "If you are called to ask questions, bring him with you."

"Yes!"

At night, there is a curfew in the city.

Except for the soldiers patrolling the camp, there was silence all around.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from a tent, followed by crying.

"Pillar! Wake up!"

"Second dog, what's wrong with you?!"

"Idiot!"

The eyelids of some people who were crying twitched, hold back!

"What's the noise?"

The soldiers patrolling the camp came over and impatiently opened the curtain, and at a glance, they knew that there was a dead person in the tent.

Scenes like this happen almost every day.

Those who died of serious injuries, starved to death, and frozen to death, two were just carried out of the camp during the day, and they were not safe at night.

"Stop howling, you will be batoned if you disturb thousands of households!"

Probably frightened by the army sticks, there was no sound in the tent.

"When did it end?" Although the soldiers saw too many dead people, they didn't want to enter the tent. It was bad luck. "The city gate was opening at Maoshi. Let's make do with it tonight, and send it out after the city gate opens."

The people in the tent fell silent, and those lying on the ground were covered with ragged jackets. Ji Gang's eyes were red, "The brothers were all wounded, and they managed to come back, but..."

"Okay, this is the fate of the army man. To be buried in the city tomorrow, it can be regarded as a fellowship."

In the light of the fire, the soldier's face was a bit complicated.

There's nothing to cry about, at least he's gone with all his beards and tails.On the battlefield, he is missing an arm and a leg, and he is still a disabled ghost in the palace of the king of hell.

When the curtain fell, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Meng Qinghe, who was lying on the ground, felt a chill behind his back. I don't know if it was because of the cold winter night or the words of the soldier.

When the city gate opened, before dawn, Meng Qing, Tong Yang Duo and others were carried out of the barracks.

In order to pretend to be a little more like, Meng Qinghe stretched his hands and feet as much as possible and remained motionless.The guards guarding the city gate thought they had seen too much, so they didn't ask any more questions, and let them go after seeing the badge.

There are still sporadic Southern troops waiting to enter the city outside the city gate.

Meng Qinghe closed his eyes and forced himself not to look or think about it.

Everyone has a heart of compassion, but we must distinguish our positions.

If Yan Wangjing fails, his end will only be worse than these people.

After leaving the city, they found the meeting point agreed in advance, and immediately the Yan army who stayed outside the city came to meet them.

Meng Qinghe wrapped himself in a thick cloak, moved his stiff hands and feet, and said to Meng Qingjiang who sent him out: "Fourth cousin, be careful!"

"En." Meng Qingjiang nodded, "Don't worry, Twelve Lang."

Wealth and wealth are in danger, and if he has the opportunity, he will definitely fight for it!

There is no time to say more, Meng Qingjiang and others must return to the city as soon as possible, and Meng Qing and Yang Duo also need to return to Peiping as soon as possible.

If there is no mistake, Li Jinglong will soon send people to the vicinity of Datong to find out the reality, just in time to put on another good show for him.

The director of this scene can only be King Yan, neither Meng Qinghe nor Yang Duo is qualified.

After taking the reins, Meng Qinghe jumped on the horse, waved the whip, and the cloak flew with the wind. The north wind rushed towards him, inhaling the cold into his lungs.

Meng Qinghe once envied Shen Xuan's chicness when riding a horse, and after personally experiencing it, he sneezed a series of times.

Although the cloak is good, he wants a padded jacket more now.

Riding horses in the snowy field, domineering and unrestrained, very chic, but also really freezing.

It is getting far away from Dezhou City, and when I look back, there is only a vast expanse of whiteness behind me.

Stopping, the steed snorted, and the hot air it exhaled condensed into a white mist.

There was thunderous sound of horseshoes coming from the front. It should not be the enemy coming from the north, but everyone dared not let down their guard at all.

It wasn't until the sound of horseshoes approached and seeing the familiar shirt of the knight on horseback that the tense atmosphere was lifted.

Yang Duo patted Shen Xuan, who stepped forward on the horse, who was walking on the snow.

With a crimson military uniform and a fluttering cloak, his face seemed colder than ice and snow.

"I met Commander Shen."

"No need." Shen Xuan immediately replied, "Yang Tongzhi returned from Dezhou?"

"Exactly." Yang Duo approached and lowered his voice, "Within five days, Li Jinglong from Dezhou will definitely take action."

Shen Xuan's expression remained unchanged, he just nodded, "So, we need to report to the prince as soon as possible."

After finishing the words, his eyes turned to behind Yang Duo and landed on Meng Qinghe.Seeing his pale face, he frowned.

Meng Qinghe couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he got off his horse and stepped forward, "I have seen the commander!"

"En." Shen Xuan suddenly reached out and covered his forehead, frowning even tighter, grabbed his arm, "Get on the horse."

"what?"

Surprised, Meng Qinghe was caught on Shen Xuan's horse.

"Slim again."

The voice was very low, as if talking to himself, but it clearly reached his ears.

Most of the guards who followed Shen Xuan were Yanshan guards. They knew that Meng Qinghe was not in good health, so it was not surprising to see him being brought to the horse by Shen Xuan.

His face was so pale that he almost lost all color, and it was not easy to persist until here.

"Meng Qianshi is a man!"

Then let Meng Chen ride a horse by himself?Falling halfway is no joke.

Shen Xuan wrapped Meng Qinghe tightly with a cloak, turned his head to Yang Duo and said, "Let's go to Hejian first."

"Follow the order!"

Meng Qinghe and others hurried to Hejian Mansion, where Yan Wang Zhu Di was so irritable that he wanted to kill someone.

Although Gao Wei was imprisoned and temporarily lost his freedom, he was treated quite well.

Three meals a day, every meal has meat, and there is no shortage of snacks. Coupled with the lack of exercise, I have gained a lot of weight in just a few days.

As long as you have a little understanding of current affairs and see King Yan's attitude clearly, you should calm down and stay honest.

Gao Wei didn't, and the King of Yan didn't see him, so he wrote a letter of advice every day, stating the facts and reasoning, and made up his mind to persuade the King of Yan to stop the army.

"Your Majesty is devoted to the country. His Highness believes in his words. He rests his army according to his armor and apologizes. If the proton enters the capital, then the will of heaven will be in order, the hearts of the people will be peaceful, and the spirit of Taizu in heaven will be at peace."

"If you persist in your obsession and don't get over it, you will be victorious, what is the public opinion of future generations!"

Zhu Di was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking. It was the first time he saw someone so fearless.

Read a few words silently, this person cannot be killed, if killed, there will be big trouble.

His forehead was still full of veins.

Zheng He saw the luck of King Yan's livid face, and carefully came up with an idea, why not take Gao Wei's pen and paper?He didn't have the tools to commit the crime, so let's see how he is still pissed off.

Zhu Di nodded, yes.

As a result, not even a scrap of paper can be seen in the wing room where Gao Wei lives temporarily.

Mr. Gao also has a way, don't give him a pen and paper?It doesn't matter!Tearing off the hem of the clothes, biting the fingers, writing in blood, more sincerity!

Looking at the blood book sent in front of him, Zhu Di took a deep breath, and then took a deep breath, breathing in a bloody smell, he couldn't bear it anymore, so what if he got a bad name on his back?This old boy must be hacked to death in order to relieve his hatred!

This time, even Monk Daoyan couldn't stop him.

hug your thighs?

Who dares?

Holding a knife, Zhu Di strode towards the wing where Gao Wei was held. Seeing that a murder was about to happen in the palace, Zheng He suddenly ran all the way, "My lord, I have something to report."

Hearing this, King Yan paused, "What's the matter?"

"Go back to the prince, Commander Shen sent someone to report that Yang Tongzhi and Meng Qian have returned from Dezhou, and are starting from Hejian Mansion, and they can arrive in Peiping today!"

After a while, the knife was put away, and King Yan turned back to the Nuan Pavilion.

Compared with hacking Gao Wei to death, it is more important to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of imperial troops in Dezhou.
