Looking to Chang'an from the North

Xia Yizheng invited several people into the mansion, first he ordered people to cook sumptuous meals to reward the soldiers, and then prepared some wine and food to entertain He Jingzhi and Shen Feng.

The border is not peaceful, and they all have their own affairs to be busy, Xia Yizheng only left them to rest in the city for two days, and then sent someone to send them back.

Although there is no longer a shortage of food, and we can fight a protracted war, it is not an option to just procrastinate.

If the spies were to be eliminated, the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty would also have to retreat.

Lin Chuhuai only left Xia Yizheng alone in the study, and thought about it before telling him.

"Tomorrow, you call your eldest brother and some generals in the army, and tell them that you are going to play an empty city plan."

"Empty city plan?" Xia Yizheng didn't understand what Lin Chuhuai meant.

Lin Chuhuai was not in a hurry to answer either, it wasn't hard to understand.

"You mean to pretend to be an empty city, but in fact you want to catch a turtle in a jar?"

Since there are fine works in the army, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't make use of them?

"You suspect big brother?"

Xia Beixiu had been guarding Yuyang City all along, so he didn't need to be told how to deploy Hankou.

"I'm not doubting brother, it's just that we can be safe." Lin Chuhuai explained eagerly.

In fact, Lin Chuhuai really felt that Xia Beixiu had a lot of suspicion in his heart. He felt that the way this elder brother got along with Yunji was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange.

Seeing that Chang Yun was flustered, Xia Yizheng squeezed his hand, "It's okay to really doubt it, everyone on the battlefield is a brother, so naturally they should be treated equally."

Although he didn't want to be suspicious, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. Xia Yizheng really didn't want the elder brother he had always respected to be the one who stabbed him in the back.

Xia Yizheng agreed with Lin Chuhuai's proposal, and asked all the officials of the general to call, and explained the arrangements for tomorrow with them in detail.

The good show has begun, and I don't know how it will end.

In order to make it realistic, Xia Yizheng asked Zhong Qi to set up defenses in the city in advance, and asked his eldest brother to ask him to borrow some soldiers and horses when he returned to Yuyang, while he himself brought out all the generals and made people close the city gates.

Later, Meng Lingsu also received a tip from the man in black that the previous food and grass arrived at night, so Bei Qi didn't know that Xia Yizheng was no longer worried about the lack of food.

Looking at the letter in his hands, Meng Lingsu didn't have any doubts. He just thought it was a desperate fight, so he took the letter to Si Nanxian's big tent.

"Ye Lin, this is an excellent opportunity. First go to Hankou, then capture Qin Pass, and finally capture Yuyang. According to the current situation, we will be able to return to His Majesty soon."

After hearing this, Si Nanxian didn't answer. He always felt that the matter was not that simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Wait and see first, don't act rashly, wait until tomorrow to make a decision."

Meng Lingsu felt that Si Nanxian was overthinking to some extent, but if Tianyu had no food, he couldn't last a few days, and it didn't matter if he waited an extra day.

At dawn the next day, Xia Yizheng really came out with all the generals in the city, calling for battle two or three miles away from the Northern Qi military camp.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Si Nanxian no longer hesitated, leaving only half of his troops for Meng Lingsu to deal with Xia Yizheng, while he mounted his horse and took the other half of his troops to capture Hankou.

During the chaos, Xia Yizheng also disappeared in the army.

Si Nanxian didn't use ladders or cannons. He just had people smash the gate of the city open with a cart. The city was really empty of troops, only some scattered soldiers were still fighting.

He rode his horse deep in, but the city gate was closed behind him from outside the city. At this time, countless soldiers holding guns appeared on the city tower, and the arrows pointed at them like this. exist.

Xia Yizheng, who was supposed to be outside the big tent, also stood shoulder to shoulder with Lin Chuhuai on the tower.

"I once fought against you, I remember that you are not such a brainless person." Xia Yizheng said this with extreme sarcasm, but somewhat regretful, in fact, despite other emotions, he still valued Si Nanxian as an opponent.

"To listen to and to believe, this king is really inferior." But that's just because I want to conquer you too much, and I want to see you kneeling in front of me and bowing your head in surrender.

But defeat is defeat, and Si Nanxian is not someone who can't afford to lose.

"I have something to say to you alone, would you like to listen to me?" This was the first time Xia Yizheng invited Si Nanxian, and wanted to sit down and have a good talk with him.

Si Nanxian was a little shocked, but he didn't refuse. He would cheat with Lin Chuhuai but couldn't refuse any of Xia Yizheng's requests.

He took off his saber and threw it aside, dismounted and walked to the place where the city gate was ascending, where the soldiers made way for him.

Si Nanxian stepped on the steps step by step, neither happy nor sad, but he felt that the battle under his leadership was like a sad joke.

Lin Chuhuai looked at the people who were about to come forward, took a look at Xia Yizheng and walked behind Zhong Qi. Although he didn't know what they were going to talk about, he still chose to leave room for them.

Zhong Qi protected Lin Chuhuai and retreated to the other side of the tower, where he could watch Xia Yizheng and the others closely without hearing their conversation.

"Just say what you have to say!" There was rarely a peaceful exchange between them, and every time it was a tense exchange.

Xia Yizheng first stared at him for a while, then turned his face away to look at the distant mountains and rivers and the village at the end that still seemed to be smoking.

"Look there, there will be smoke rising every day. In my imagination, people should still live and work in peace and contentment." His voice was very soft, as if yearning and yearning.

Si Nanxian followed his gaze but did not answer his words.

What is this doing, imagining the future with him?

Xia Yizheng withdrew his gaze, and once again put his gaze on the person opposite, "I know, but you actually don't like war."

Is this trying to persuade myself to withdraw troops?

Si Nanxian snorted softly, "Xia Yizheng, how do you know that this king doesn't like it? My lifelong ambition is to level up Kyushu, unify the world, and make the surrounding countries respect me and Northern Qi."

These words are very ambitious, but Xia Yizheng knows that this is not the truth of the person in front of him.

Although Si Nanxian has power over the government and the public, he is not an ambitious man who aims at the world.

Xia Yizheng smiled, that smile was really light, but it was just a curved lip around his lips that could temporarily distract this person.

"You won't. If you really had that ambition, Si Yangche wouldn't be able to sit on the throne for so many years."

Although this person has dominated the Northern Qi Dynasty for many years, he has always left room for Si Yangche, giving him all the dignity of being an emperor.How can a person who is not even interested in the throne have the heart to conquer the world.

"Perhaps, I can ask you to say that if it wasn't for me, you would never allow this war to happen."

Hearing these words, Si Nanxian did not refute, but thought for a moment before saying, "You do understand me."

"So, stop, Ye Lin. Like me, you want to see He Qinghai Yan, the world is peaceful. If you want to break the peace just for your own selfishness, don't you think it's too selfish. What's more, I can tell you clearly that even if the war lasts for one year, two years and countless years, there will be no end between us."

Xia Yizheng uttered these words almost without a pause, he knew very well whether it was war or peace that was between Si Nanxian's thoughts.

"What did you call me just now?" Si Nanxian raised his eyes and asked him, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

This person has never called his small print, and this is the first time today.

Xia Yizheng didn't seem to expect this person's focus to be this, but he called again, "Ye Lin."

It wasn't an auditory hallucination, the man was really calling him small characters, Si Nanxian glanced at the village in the distance, and asked him, "You want me to withdraw the troops, don't you?"

"Yes, the people are innocent. What's more, you should also know that the use of military force is of no benefit to Bei Qi." Xia Yizheng gave him an affirmative answer, and he saw the wavering of this man.

Si Nanxian didn't give him an answer immediately, but asked something irrelevant, "If I am willing to retreat, will you forgive me?"

Forgive Si Nanxian for not saying it clearly, but both of them know it well.

At that time, his father died at his hands, his mother committed suicide at home, his elder brother was captured for many years and his brothers were divorced. All the misfortunes of the Xia family were all thanks to the people in front of them.

Xia Yizheng couldn't answer for his deceased parents, he was silent for a long time.

Si Nanxian also got the answer from this long silence, he smiled miserably, but there was no resignation in his eyes, "Forget it, I understand. I will retreat, but you remember this is for the sake of the world, not for you Xia Yizheng alone .”

After he said these words, the smile on his face was very bitter. After all, all these years of longing were in vain.

Xia Yizheng looked at him for a moment, feeling sorry for the deep affection of the person in front of him, and he still had to live up to it. He bowed and said, "Yun Ji, on behalf of all the people in the world, thank the regent Gao Yi."

Thank you for all the people in the world, but you are still not among them.Forget it, from now on, from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other.

"Finally, give me another hug. After hugging, I promise you that Daqi will not take the initiative to invade Tianyu's border within five years." This was his original plan, and it cannot be regarded as an exchange condition.

Xia Yizheng's original refusal words were already on his lips, but the man's last sentence made him swallow it back.It is very worthwhile to embrace the peace of the northern border for five years, and he also believes that Si Nanxian is a person who will keep his word.

He just opened his hands to hug this person but was hugged into his arms.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chuhuai's pupils shrank slightly, and Zhong Qi paid close attention to it for fear that this person would do something impulsively.But Lin Chuhuai just watched and didn't move extra, he believed in Xia Yizheng.

Xia Yizheng was as stiff as a log the whole time, not at all as comfortable as when he was with Changyun.

How could Si Nanxian fail to notice the changes in the person in his arms, he just hugged him lightly and then let go.Indulge yourself one last time, and from now on, he will still be the regent of Daqi, no one can hurt him again.

After he let go, Xia Yizheng took half a step back, looking at him without the disgust he once had. As long as this person still has the world in his heart, he is not such a hopeless person.

When Si Nanxian looked at him again, his eyes seemed to have lost the previous obsession. He took out something from his arms and handed it to Xia Yizheng, "This thing, it should be my last gift to you."

The author has something to say: Mou Tang: Goose, you see, Ma Ma still loves you, if you are allowed to be with the prince, you can only be the one who is hugged~
