— "The History of the Northern Han Dynasty: The Flying Biography of Longting"〗
Wang Ji looked calmly and said: "The grass people are wandering around, and although they have extensive knowledge, they know some information. Although the Dayong court claimed that the princess was recuperating in seclusion because the hunting palace was frightened, there have long been rumors about this among the people. Caomin was in Dayong at the time of the incident, and I heard a lot of rumors, so I know a little more in detail, Caomin is not a spy, please ask the princess to learn from it."
Lin Bi's eyes flashed and said, "Mr. Wang is overthinking it. He is proficient in horses and horses, and he has extensive knowledge. He is the talent I long for in the Northern Han Dynasty. If you please condescend, this palace will definitely honor you as a guest."
Wang Ji hesitated and said, "The princess is so important, Caomin should have obeyed, but Caomin is about to go to Penglai in the East China Sea, so I'm afraid he won't be able to obey."
Lin Bi was slightly taken aback and said, "What are you going to do in the East China Sea?"
Wang Ji said respectfully: "Caomin saw his old friend recently, and said that the benefactor was healthy and happy, so he wanted to go to celebrate."
Lin Tong said curiously, "Isn't your benefactor an old man, why does he have a son?"
Wang Ji was stunned and smiled: "The county master must have misunderstood, the benefactor of Caomin is still in his prime, and he has nothing to do except a young lady. He has only recently added a son, and next month will be the son's first birthday. Hearing about this, I intend to go to congratulate.”
Lin Bi's expression changed. Although this Wang Ji is young, he has a very extraordinary manner. His benefactor must not be an ordinary person, and he is not going to the East China Sea. If he has the opportunity to see his kindness Lord, maybe I have another pillar of the Northern Han Dynasty. Thinking of this, she said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that Ben Gong will be visiting the East China Sea soon. Would Mr. Wang be willing to accompany Ben Gong?"
Wang Ji was stunned for a moment and asked, "The princess is an important official of the Northern Han Dynasty, so why would she go to the East China Sea? You must know that although the East China Sea is the sphere of influence of the Duke of the East China Sea, although the Duke of the East China Sea is still unique, who in the world does not know that the Duke of East China Sea has been in recent years? The reconciliation with Dayong has already begun, and there are quite a few contacts, if the princess is going to the East China Sea, I am afraid it will be dangerous."
Lin Bi said with a smile: "It's okay, sir, I don't think you know, the Marquis of the East Sea got married, and the happy stickers have been spread all over the world. This palace lord was ordered by the king to go to congratulate, and the rare treasures meeting that will be held at the same time is also a big event. , I also want to see exotic treasures."
Lin Tong was overjoyed when he heard it, and said anxiously, "Sister, does Qizhen know? I'm going to see it too."
Lin Bi smiled slightly, reached out and patted the girl soothingly, preventing her from interrupting.
Wang Ji slapped his palms and said, "Ah, the Rare Treasures Association, Caomin has also heard of it. In the past two years, there have been wealthy merchants in the East China Sea, who have built large ships to travel to and from Goryeo, Japan, and Nanyang, exchanging porcelain and silk produced in the Central Plains and Jiangnan for gold. Silver jewelry and all kinds of special products are said to be more than a thousand times profitable, presumably this rare and precious event was held by Hai Wuya?"
Lin Bi smiled and said, "That's right, Hai Wuya took advantage of the Donghai Hou Aizi's wedding to hold a rare event, and now who doesn't want to cooperate with Hai Wuya and monopolize the profits of ocean-going trade, this opportunity is naturally the most suitable. ."
Wang Ji said doubtfully: "But who doesn't know that Hai Wuya must be backed by the East Sea Marquis. If you want to share the profits here, I'm afraid it won't be so easy? And there are giant businessmen in various countries who cooperate with Hai Wuya. A balanced situation, if the princess wants to monopolize the profits, I am afraid that both Dayong and Nan Chu will not agree."
Lin Bi took a deep look at Wang Ji and said, "Mr. Wang really understands world affairs. It has been five years since Hai Wu Ya established his business in the East China Sea. The first two years were just shipping operations. In the past two or three years, he has organized three ocean-going operations. Among them, the dozens of large ships he built by himself not only carry a lot of cargo, but also have a high speed, and are equipped with various new weapons. There are nearly 100 merchant ships accompanying them, as well as the warships of the East Sea Marquis. If it is said to be incompetent to support the planning , I don't believe it at all. If nothing else, there are giant merchants in Nanchu, Dayong, and I in Northern Han who cooperate with him. Just because the three companies benefited, no one was embarrassed by him. This kind of scheming and daring is what I admire very much. , but there are advantages and disadvantages, Hai Wuya is so pleasing in all directions, although it can still work now, but in recent years, the war has become more and more raging, and there is absolutely no possibility for Dayong and Beihan to coexist, so Hai Wuya has to rebuild Think about it, rather than being neutral, it's better to choose a master."
Wang Ji was heartbroken when he heard this. He heard this kind of secret matter to himself. I was afraid that he would never be able to escape. He looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that the men and women guards and knights were all holding the hilt of the sword, and they could only do it. As if he didn't see it, he smiled and said: "The princess is right, but Caomin said something disrespectful, Hai Wuya can not cooperate with others, but Donghai Hou really can't let go, without Donghai Hou's escort, the merchant ships sailing far away. It is absolutely impossible to be safe and sound. In terms of rich products, Dayong and Nanchu originally occupied the rich land. After the fall of the Shu Kingdom, the products in the middle of Shu were also divided between the two countries. If Hai Wuya only chooses one party to cooperate, No matter if Dayong or Nanchu were chosen, it would not be surprising, but the Northern Han would have lost a bit of an advantage. If there was a three-way check and balance, the Northern Han would still be able to get a share of the pie. "
A cold light flashed in Lin Bi's eyes, and said, "Sir is right, and this is what Ben Gong thinks. My Northern Han was at a disadvantage in ocean-going trade, and my husband also misunderstood what Ben Gong meant and wanted to monopolize the benefits of ocean-going trade. It is not me from Northern Han, but from Southern Chu. When I came in, Southern Chu sent envoys. They wanted to cooperate with Northern Han and coerce the Duke of Donghai to reach an agreement. The three parties joined forces to control ocean trade, exclude Dayong, and the imperial court sent this palace to go there. Donghai just wants to take advantage of this opportunity. If the Duke of Donghai agrees to this, then he can cut off Dayong's overseas profits, which will naturally be beneficial to us and harmless.
Wang Ji nodded repeatedly and said, "Caomin is from Southern Chu. Although he has been in the country for many years, he knows that our country is the most important business. It is natural to have such a plan, but I don't know who is responsible for this in our country this time?"
Lin Bi smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the envoy of Southern Chu who went to congratulate Donghai Hou's only son this time is the son of Lu Xin, Duke Zhenyuan, the important minister of Southern Chu, the general Lu Can, and the envoy of Dayong is Qing. Wang Likang and the Minister of Rites, Gou Lian, both spared no effort, so my envoys from the Northern Han Dynasty could not send just one person, so I had to reluctantly. Maybe this palace still has a place to rely on.”
Wang Ji said respectfully, "The grass people are fortunate enough to have their tails attached to them, how dare they not obey."
Lin Tong hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm going too." Lin Bi looked at the younger sister and saw that the younger sister's eyes were full of desires, and she was circling constantly, clearly determined that if she was not allowed to go with her, she would go privately. idea to go. With a doting smile, he said, "Okay, as long as you are obedient, I will take you with me." Lin Tong was overjoyed, clasped his hands together, and swore that he would never make a fool of himself, Lin Bi just smiled and said nothing, thinking that the trouble is natural It is indispensable, but this time it is not a matter of life and death. Nan Chu thinks it well, saying that the interests are shared, I don't want to see your faces at that time. This Wang Ji is a talented person, and he is not as lazy as those ordinary Southern Chu people. If there is no problem with this person, no matter what method is used, he has to stay and serve me in Northern Han.
Wang Ji had other thoughts in his heart, whether to stay in the Northern Han Dynasty as an undercover agent or return to the benefactor. The words are full of joy, presumably the benefactor is in a good mood now, which is no wonder, the confidante is accompanied, he is unfettered and free, and now he is a new son, presumably the benefactor will not want to go out now, but in the past few years, Dayong and Beihan are at a standstill. I don't know how many days the benefactor's happy life will last
After staying in Daizhou for a few days, Wang Ji followed Lin Bi and Lin Tong on the journey to the East China Sea. Although he could cross Wutai Mountain and go to sea from Ludi, Lin Bi made a big circle and went first. Qinzhou.
Qinzhou is guarded by General Long Tingfei. It is an important town in the Northern Han Dynasty. It controls Taiyuan in the north and Luze in the south. Taiyuan is not only the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, but also a battleground for the military. In the southeast, there are Tianmen Pass, Shiling Pass, Chitang Pass rejected Dayong's army from outside, and it was most easily defended and difficult to attack. Qinzhou is the gateway to the south of Taiyuan. Most of the territory is hills and rivers. Long Tingfei's army is stationed here. In the past two or three years, every autumn harvest time, Long Tingfei brought an army from Qinzhou to attack Zezhou and Luzhou, and even invaded Zhenzhou, disrupting the autumn harvest at the border of Dayong. After 25 years of Wuwei's lessons , King Li Xian of Qi adopted the practice of building a strong wall and clearing the field, sending a large army to strictly guard the pass, establishing a Baojia system, and setting up beacon towers on the border to monitor the actions of the Northern Han army. If the Northern Han army attacked, they would all send out to meet the enemy. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, Long Tingfei changed his ways and used the characteristics of the Northern Han army to be good at long-distance raids, coming and going like the wind, and used rangers to invade the border of Dayong. Dayong Mingming's military strength was higher than that of the Northern Han Dynasty, but he was suppressed to death by Long Tingfei. In the end, King Qi simply could not hold on, and moved all the residents of the border area to the defense line, leaving a blank area of about a hundred miles. In this way, with Dayong's powerful military and the scattered fortresses, a tie was finally maintained.
Thirty miles away from Qinzhou, Wang Ji saw the smoke billowing in the distance. He looked closely and saw that the smoke and dust did not disperse. He knew that it was an elite cavalry, but it was still in the Northern Han Dynasty. The Dayong cavalry is now resting on its laurels, and you don't need to think about it to know that they are friends rather than enemies. It must be sent by Qinzhou City to welcome Princess Jiaping.
But for a moment, in the smoke and dust, it was already clear that it was a cavalry in red armor, and the leader was also wearing a fiery shirt. The mask on the helmet was not lifted, so the appearance could not be seen clearly, but the vigorous posture , the momentum in full swing, people have been heartbroken. A look of joy flashed in Lin Bi's eyes. Even as she stepped forward, the guards around her who were always there were uncharacteristically stagnant. Just as Lin Bi rode forward alone, the leader of the cavalry and the general in red became more and more numerous. When they came out, when they were three feet apart, they jumped up and stretched out their hands at the same time, held each other in the air, and gently landed on the ground, and then the fiery red embraced the emerald green. Infected everyone, they were all silent, watching the two people quietly.
After a while, the two figures separated and walked towards Wang Ji and the others hand in hand. Wang Ji dismounted with everyone and stood with his hands down. The two approached the crowd, Lin Bi's face was beaming with joy, and she was extraordinarily charming and charming. And the general in red also lifted the mask on his helmet, revealing a handsome and flawless face, with his slender and handsome eight-foot male body, as deep as a pair of slightly blue eyes in the night sky, with elegance in the mighty The graceful demeanor of the breath made everyone, including Wang Ji, bow down in convincing, and said in unison, "My subordinates meet General Jin An."
Of course, Lin Tong wouldn't bow down, but happily stepped forward and hugged the left arm of the general in red, and said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, Tong'er thinks of you every day, when will you marry my sister? "
Although Wang Ji had already guessed that the red-clothed general was Long Tingfei of the Northern Han Dynasty, he still couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart. It was a blessing for three lives to meet such a hero. The heroes whom I have seen in 2008 actually think that no one can beat this Long Tingfei, that is, Li Zhi, King of Yong, and Li Xian, King of Qi. A bit inferior. Or the only person who can be compared with this person is the benefactor who gave him everything. Thinking of that weak and handsome young man, Wang Ji couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. That person has such characteristics, no matter who you are in front of, you can't bear it. She kept her eyes on him.
After listening to Lin Tong's questioning, Long Tingfei couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. He and Lin Bi have not been married for two years, but there are many reasons. One is that Long Tingfei did not want to renew the string so soon. In the past two or three years, Long Tingfei has been busy fighting with Dayong, so exhausted, naturally he can't care about marriage. A more important reason is that although Lin Bi is a woman, she is extremely talented in military strategy. Her brothers are not as talented as her. In recent years, because of Lin Yuanting's poor health, the military and political power of Daizhou is actually in Lin's hands. In Bi's hands, in order to prevent the northern barbarians from taking the opportunity to capture the Northern Han, it was impossible for Lin Bi to take off his shirt and marry a mistress, so the marriage was delayed, but the reason was not clear. Long Tingfei's eyes turned and landed on Wang Ji, then he stepped forward with a smile: "This is Mr. Wang, the genius doctor of Bole. Hearing that Mr. Bi has arrived in our Northern Han army, Long was really overjoyed. I heard that Mr. Wang is good at treating horses and horses, and he must be very good at raising horses. If he can get help from Mr., the war horses in our army will be even better."
Wang Ji bowed again and said, "The Caomin is ashamed to be worthy of it, the so-called 'Bole's genius doctor' is just a false name. Although Caomin is a citizen of Southern Chu, he loves Mobei Fengyan. If the general does not give up, when Ji returns from visiting relatives, he will definitely Serving for the generals, doing my best, and dying."
Long Tingfei smiled slightly and put Wang Ji up with both hands and said: "Mr. Wang is willing to serve me in the Northern Han Dynasty, it is the king's fortune, you have been wandering for many years, you must be used to walking outside, this time you are going to the East China Sea with the princess, I hope you do your best."
Wang Ji saluted and said, "If you obey your orders, you will definitely live up to your trust."
Long Tingfei smiled faintly again. The smile was full of joy and joy. Wang Ji couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
The group returned to Qinzhou City. Lin Bi was a princess and Long Tingfei's fiancé. Although Long Tingfei did not publicize Lin Bi's whereabouts, he just invited a trusted general to hold a banquet for Lin Bi to wash away the dust. The general's mansion was still very lively. When the banquet was the most lively, Long Tingfei and Lin Bi disappeared. Everyone only said that the fiancée had been talking in private for a long time, so they all winked. That's it.
Long Tingfei and Lin Bi really had a secret conversation in an elegant study room, but to everyone's surprise, they were not talking about love between sons and daughters, but about military aircraft.
Back in the mansion, Long Tingfei had already changed into a sky blue robe, looked at Lin Bi with radiant expression, and said, "Sister Bi, you don't have to worry too much this time, just watch on the sidelines, if Nan Chu really does If you have the ability to persuade the Duke of Donghai to exclude Dayong's power, then we will naturally have a share of the pie, and we can also take the opportunity to attack Dayong. After reaching a covenant with the Duke of East China Sea, if we can get the cooperation of Duke of East China Sea, Dayong will really be surrounded by enemies."
Lin Biliu frowned and said, "Ting Fei, but you know very well that Dayong's troops are the strongest. Although you have the upper hand, as long as you can't defeat King Qi, you can't really threaten Dayong. What are you going to do? Confrontation like this is not good for us. Although our Northern Han army and people are brave, compared to Dayong's strength and Nanchu's wealth, we really have no bargaining chip to unify the world."
Long Tingfei stood up, walked to the wall, pointed to the map hanging on it and said, "Look at Bimei, now King Qi can't bear it, our army is invincible, but Dayong's strength has nothing to lose. Although the army is brave, but it does everything it can, it is only a mere 200,000. Although there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Daizhou area, they are used to defend against the barbarians and cannot be easily mobilized. The reason why I can confront us is all because King Qi is experienced in military use. I think Li Xian has grown a lot after going through all kinds of ups and downs. If Li Xian can be eradicated, then I am confident that there will be no rivals in Dayong, as long as I get Zezhou and Zhenzhou, Dayong will no longer be able to effectively contain our country."
Lin Bi frowned and said, "It would be best if Li Xian could be removed, unless Li Zhi would lead the expedition in person, then no one in Dayong would be able to resist your army, but if Li Zhi went in person, Nan Chu would be able to attack, and then Dayong would be able to attack. Fighting on both sides, the situation is even more precarious. But Li Xian is the prince of the royal family, and Li Zhi trusts him, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to eradicate him?"
Long Tingfei said with a smile: "The power is high, and there are a few generals in the world who will not be afraid of leading troops. Li Zhixiong is the only one, and this suspicion is unavoidable, not to mention that Li Xian and Li Zhi still have heart problems that have not been eliminated. An colluded with Fengyi Sect to force the palace to rebel. Although Li Xian did not personally participate, the suspicion was very deep. His concubine even committed suicide. According to the information we obtained, Li Xian was already under house arrest. If it wasn't for me leading the attack, Li Zhi was helpless and had to pardon Li Xian. But this Li Xian's temper was too weird. He did several wrong things. One of them was to reject Li Zhi's offer of marriage. Li Zhi wanted to marry Li Xian years ago. The princess was chosen, but was rejected by Li Xian. The second is that the original son born to the original Princess Qi had lost his status as a prince. If Li Xian was smart, he should have ignored this son, but he put this The son brought the barracks. As a result, King Yong couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. He was really stubborn when he talked about this Li Xian. , I will not be polite. Since last year, I have been spreading rumors that Li Xian could not stand firm, but to support his troops and respect himself. If this matter is changed, Li Zhi's mind and talent will not be too mindful, but If Li Xian was suspected of conspiracy, but Li Xian is so ignorant, what do you think Li Zhi would think? In the past few months, Li Zhi has issued several imperial decrees to comfort Li Xian. "
Lin Bi thought for a while and said, "If it were another general, this kind of comfort would only make him grateful, but if it was Li Xian, this kind of comfort would make him feel deeply suspicious."
Long Tingfei said: "That's right, Li Xian also attached several memorials to report the military situation to show his intentions, but this kind of thing is impossible to argue, and now even the city of Chang'an is full of rumors. I want to come. Li Zhi is also very embarrassed, if he does not recall Li Xian, I am afraid that rumors will spread, and Li Xian is afraid, even if he has no remorse at all, he will have revolt."
Lin Bi said: "Actually, if Li Zhi can send a sufficient supervisor, he can also stabilize the hearts of the army and the people."
Long Tingfei smiled and said, "How easy is it to do this, this supervisor must not only have the ability to suppress King Qi, but also must not arouse the anger of King Qi's generals, and also be Li Zhi's confidant, where is there such a person in Dayong now? As long as this situation continues, whether it is to protect King Qi or prevent King Qi from rebelling, it will be a last resort to recall King Qi. At that time, there will be no commander in charge of Dayong, and there must be someone who can't help but attack, so I can do it. Take advantage of the situation to destroy the living force of the Yong army."
Lin Bi sighed and said, "I hope you can succeed in one fell swoop. I, Beihan, can't bear a long confrontation."
Long Tingfei said confidently, "Don't worry Bimei, after I captured Zezhou and Zhenzhou, Bimei, your marriage should not be delayed."
Lin Biyu's face was crimson, she was speechless, Long Tingfei walked up to her, held her slender hand and said, "I know you can't worry about Daizhou, it doesn't matter, I have figured out this matter, Long Ting Fei is not a short-sighted person, as long as it can make the Northern Han Dynasty prosperous, you and I will get together less and leave more."
Lin Bi was moved for a while, and after a while, she said, "After you defeat the Yong army, go report to King Ming and my father."
Long Tingfei was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to embrace the beloved beauty in his arms. The candle shadow shook red, reflecting the figures of a pair of beautiful people. How could it not be fascinated by this situation.
