It rained a bit, and it got a little cooler.
Geng Shu successfully completed the garrison of Song County and took over the city defense, but did not interfere with the government affairs and people's livelihood in the city, and still left it to Song Zou to take care of it. According to his observation, Song Zou is quite capable of identifying and employing people, and he does not need to take care of the big and small matters. The county government of Song County should be handled by officials.
Song Zou could still take the time every day to come and play chess with Geng Shu. Geng Shu is keenly aware that Song Zou is getting to know him and understand him with the greatest sincerity. As for what this guy is thinking, Prince Takiruo may be able to give some pointers. Just relying on Geng Shu, it is impossible to guess. arrive.
His city is too deep.
"Where is General Juice from?" Song Zou said.
"Yongren." Geng Shu replied, at first he was very wary of Song Zou, but after finding that the county magistrate had entrusted him with the transfer arrangements for the city defense, he slowly let down his guard, after all, as long as he was dissatisfied with him , No matter how clever a civil servant is, he can't beat a knife on his neck, he doesn't need to play tricks on himself.
"You are not from Yong." Song Zou said with a smile.
Geng Shu said, "Do you know that I'm not from Yong?"
Song Zou changed the subject and said casually, "I heard that the general is going to marry the Princess Daiguo soon? I heard that the princess is really a beautiful woman who has conquered the country and the city, or the empress of the Ji family."
Geng Shu replied, "Where did you hear it? Why don't I know? I haven't even seen the face of my fiancee."
The two of them settled down, and Song Zou suddenly said again: "There is one thing I don't understand."
Geng Shu didn't answer. After a while, he also said, "This general also has one thing that I still don't understand. I wonder if Master Song can help me?"
Song Zouyi smiled and said, "General, please speak first."
Having said that, Song Zou fell, Geng Shu knew that his chess skills were not Song Zou's opponent at all, so with him, Song Zou could no longer let go.
"I don't understand," Geng Shu said, "the people of Song County are so looking forward to the arrival of the Yong Army. Is it possible that the people here are prosperous and the scene of peace is all an illusion? Called, are you looking for a dead ghost to fight?"
Song Zou suddenly laughed and said, "General, you are joking."
If Prince Taki was here, Geng Shu would be reminded that no one has called Geng Shu "His Royal Highness" since he entered the city. Everyone called him "General Cavalry". And the subtle difference between these two identities symbolizes the difference in Song Zou's subtle attitude.
But Geng Shu is not Prince Taki, let alone Jiang Heng, he has no heart in this regard.
"The people welcome the general into the city," Song Zou said. "It is because the emperor of Jin has his heart on it. He is still reluctant to give up the fire in Luoyang five years ago and the dumb king of the world. The general once served under General Zhao, and the general's The position is personally bestowed by the Son of Heaven, and seeing you is like seeing General Zhao coming in person. As for the soldiers of which country you brought, what difference does it make to us?"
Geng Shu was silent for a moment, and finally chewed some hints and special tastes from it.
"I guess the general also has the same idea of revitalizing the Jin family." Song Zou said, "Since this is the case, the people should welcome it, why is it wrong?"
"It turns out that Master Song thinks so." Geng Shu had a threat in his eyes, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, "What if I don't?"
"I don't have this idea," Song Zou said. "Why did the general show the badge of the cavalry captain? It's better not to take the officer down and make a joke. If there is no badge..."
"Sword Comes"
Geng Shu: "What will happen?"
Song Zou said with a smile: "The military and civilians in this county should fight against the backwater, but they can't beat it. Just follow the example of the emperor and set fire to themselves."
Geng Shu: "..."
Geng Shu returned to the son, the chessboard was clearly black and white, and he was obviously defeated and did not want to play any more.
"You never thought about it, what if I fake my identity?" Geng Shu said.
Song Zou replied with a smile in his eyes, "Is it true or false, does it matter? Those who are willing to carry this king's flag are worthy of the world to follow..."
"... What's more," Song Zou leaned slightly, got closer to the chessboard, looked at Geng Shu's eyes with a sly smile, and said, "What's wrong with the people I saw with my own eyes? Does the general still remember me? Five years ago , in Luoyang."
Geng Shu: "!!!"
Geng Shu frowned deeply, looked at Song Zou, Song Zou said again: "That year I went to the Wangdu to report my work in person, and you were standing outside the hall. You wore the Yulinwei leather armor and carried a sword box on your back."
Geng Shu was at a loss for words, let alone whether Song Zou's remarks were true or not. When he revealed the pattern and texture of the sword box, Geng Shu had no doubts and finally believed it.
Geng Shu has always been defiant. He must have glanced at Song Zou in a hurry at first, but he had long forgotten it.
"You are not from Yong," Song Zou said with a mysterious smile, "Xiaguan is very clear."
"I didn't come to seek justice for the Jin family." Geng Shu said solemnly, "The emperor has passed away, and Jin's state is over. In a world of great competition, someone who is capable will take his place."
Song Zou smiled and said, "I understand, I understand, it's been really hard work for the general to lie dormant in the enemy country all these years."
Geng Shu: "..."
Geng Shu just wanted to grab Song Zou's clothes and punch the grinning guy. Song Zou looked like he regarded Geng Shu as a general who had endured humiliation and burdened the country. He was not at all curious as to why Geng Shu became Prince Yong, but instead regarded Geng Shu as an undercover in Yong Kingdom. Bento all over the world will follow, and restore the mountains and rivers of the Jin Dynasty.
When Geng Shu didn't know how to differentiate, a general hurried in.
"His Royal Highness." The general gave Geng Shu a wink, and Song Zou wisely got up and said goodbye.
Geng Shu still looked at the game of chess on the table, and realized that Song Zou's strength might not be underestimated. The chessboard was full of relics of his siege, and he was forced to retreat to a corner, just like the territory of Yong Kingdom.
"There is news from Yubi Pass," the general said in a low voice, "Zheng Guo's troops went out of Laoshan, and the car cut off our back road and captured Luoyang, and General Zeng Yu returned to Guancheng."
Geng Shu said: "The prince guessed right, and they really used this trick. The order was sent to ambush along the way. This time, Zheng Guo's entire army must be wiped out, and they will suffer."
After the first snow, Jiang Heng came to the Weishan Pass with the qin prepared by Prince Ling for him.
"I can't see," Jiang Heng said, "how is the situation?"
These days, Zhao Qi has been loyally serving as Jiang Heng's eyes, staying by his side all the time, explaining to him: "As usual, there are only 8,000 troops left in the garrison. These days, the wind is very strong."
There is an endless plain at the foot of the Laoshan Mountain. In the distance to the west, Luoyang is under the gloomy sky. At the end of the wider plain to the north, on the skyline is the Yubi Pass hidden in the wind and snow.
Luoyang, the capital of ancient times, has been among the five passes, including Yubi Pass leading to Beiyong, Wei Pass leading to Zheng Kingdom, Lan Pass going southeast to Liang, Jianmen Pass leading to Western Han Dynasty and Dai Kingdom, and Yingdi Pass in the south. , The Qin Pass at the foot of Yuheng Mountain is surrounded by the five passes that surround the capital of the emperor.
"I haven't been to Laoshan yet." Jiang Heng smiled with a black cloth covering his eyebrows.
There was the sound of wind in his ears, and the gust of wind whistled and swept across the Laoshan Mountain.
Zhao Qi said on the side: "Young master looks like he hasn't been to many places."
"Yeah." Jiang Heng nodded slightly, tapped the cane to close the wall and ground paved with masonry, and walked slowly along the source of the wind.
"The wind in Laoshan, the snow in Languan, the flowers in Qinguan, and the bright moon in Yubiguan," Jiang Heng said.
Zhao Qi said: "After this matter is completed, the young master can take off the blindfold and take a good look at Weiguan."
Zhao Qi carefully accompanied him. In the past two weeks, Jiang Heng has become accustomed to the life of a blind man, and can easily hear footsteps.
At this moment, Sun Ying walked up the stairs along the wall, Jiang Heng turned his head slightly, and heard his footsteps in the wind.
"His Royal Highness is listening to the report of the march," Sun Ying said. "General Che has done as you have arranged. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."
After arranging everything, Prince Ling took Sun Ying and Jiang Heng and left Jeju, the capital of Zheng, and led 6,000 guards of the Imperial Forest Army to Laoshan. The military reports from Luoyang were delivered like a stream, and the forward general of the Yong Kingdom, Juiciao, was cut off, and Zeng Yu returned to Yubi Pass. Jue Ling led the army to storm Luoyang several times, but returned without success, while Jue Cong left Luoyan City and came towards Yubi Pass.
Jiang Heng asked, "What did Liang Guo say?"
Sun Ying replied: "They are willing to send troops to form a coalition, and together with Zheng, Chen Bingyubi closes the gate."
"It should be like this." Jiang Heng said. He did not doubt Liang Guo's sincerity in the slightest. After all, once Yong Guo entered the Central Plains, it would be a sure-fire fact that Liang Guo would break down in time and then be divided up.
"Dai Guo's reaction was also expected by you." Sun Ying said, "They are watching, and they have no plans to help Yong Guo."
"It's reasonable and reasonable." Jiang Heng turned his head slightly, facing the direction of the wind, and said, "The alliance between the two kingdoms of Dai and Yong has not yet been completed, and King Dai Wu needs Juicong to prove his strength. In a few months, after the princess married Luoyan, she would It's another story."
Sun Ying held the sword and looked at Jiang Heng with a smile.
"Mr. Luo." Sun Ying said.
Jiang Heng turned his head again, facing Sun Ying.
"How many years have you been studying under the Cangshanhai Pavilion?" Sun Ying said.
Jiang Heng said lightly, "Why does Mr. Sun ask this question?"
Sun Ying said: "Looking at your appearance, you are only sixteen or seventeen years old. Under the masters of the ghost masters, there is a technique of preserving beauty, and even the secrets of rejuvenation and rejuvenation. It is only learned by Mr. Luo. You are not at this age. ?"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "If I really have this age, do you think I will agree to His Royal Highness's request?"
"That's true," Sun Ying said. "People are like this. The older they get, the more they cherish their lives and fear death."
Sun Ying shook the long sword in his hand and said, "Let's practice the sword? How is your practice on weekdays?"
Jiang Heng handed the cane to Zhao Qi, slanted Sun Ying, and pondered.
"Hey," Sun Ying said, seeing that Jiang Heng was not facing him, "I'm here."
"I know." Jiang Heng's voice was barely audible in the wind, but Sun Ying's body had already moved and rushed towards Jiang Heng with his sword!
Like a flying eagle spreading its wings and descending in one fell swoop, like a hummingbird flapping its wings and turning into a phantom in the sky. Jiang Heng turned sideways, his wrist flicked, and his speed was actually faster than Sun Ying's. The fingers around his wrist were soft like flying, and with a "swoosh", they spread out straight and pointed directly at Sun Ying's throat!
Sun Ying suddenly stopped and was almost pierced by the sword, cheering loudly.
Zhao Qi stepped aside and observed Jiang Heng and Sun Ying practicing swordsmanship. Within fifteen days, Jiang Heng re-acquainted with the softness of the fingers, and gradually turned the attack into a defense.
But because of this, it was difficult for Jiang Heng to chase and kill Sun Ying who escaped.
Sun Ying finally retracted his sword, sweat on his forehead. Just now, he attacked Jiang Heng forty-seven times, and he was able to completely avoid his ground-breaking move, but only five times. This is because he knew that Jiang Heng had an edge in his hand, and it was absolutely enough to be an unsuspecting person.
"Your Highness." Jiang Heng said suddenly.
Prince Ling came to the two of them, witnessed the whole process, put one hand on Jiang Heng's wrist, loosened his fingers softly, handed it to Zhao Qi, and ordered, "Send it to Mr. Gongsun's pharmacy."
Zhao Qi responded.
Prince Ling said, "Ji Cong replied, and is willing to negotiate with us."
