Lin Bi stood on the deck, staring coldly at Jinghai Villa, which was gradually moving away. A middle-aged guard walked behind her and reported, "Your Highness, I don't know what we should do next?"
Lin Bi lightly frowned and said, "I first entered the Jinghai Villa, and I still had the idea of waiting for an opportunity, but the murderous aura of the Jinghai Villa was hidden, and I knew that I should not act rashly. Master Cizhen will come to the East China Sea, which makes Ben Gong very fortunate that he did not launch it without authorization, it seems that we have to assassinate on the way."
The middle-aged guard frowned and said, "But didn't Master Cizhen follow Emperor Dayong's will to welcome Princess Changle and Jiang Zhe back to Chang'an? They will be protected by heavy troops along the way, as well as Master Cizhen and the evil shadow Li Shun. This kind of character protection, even if the master is afraid, is powerless, it would be a pity if the soldiers were destroyed in vain."
Lin Bi didn't answer his question, instead she flicked her hair and said, "Xiao Huwei, you've been by Ting Fei's side for a long time, and you're a disciple of the national teacher. Naturally, your eyesight is different. What do you think of King Qi and Jiang Zhe?"
Although Xiao Huwei hadn't witnessed the situation above Tingtao Pavilion, he had already heard Lin Tong's vivid description, he hesitated, and said, "King Qi is indeed a famous general, but he is far worse than the general. Too arrogant, domineering, or there is an opportunity to take advantage. As for Jiang Zhe, the subordinates find it very funny. The subordinates have heard that this person is very intelligent, but after listening to the county master, why do they think this person looks like a handsome man? The big boy makes his subordinates doubt whether he is really the chief counselor of King Yong who is so clever."
Lin Bi smiled lightly and said, "Bengong also thought it was funny at first. Before I met Jiang Zhe, I thought that he was an amazing and thoughtful genius. When I first saw him at the seaside, I thought he was floating out of the dust. He is not like the people of the world, but listening to Tao Pavilion opened my eyes. This Jiang Zhe has a pure heart, but this is what makes him terrifying. I used to be wary of him, but now I am afraid of him."
Xiao Huwei asked strangely: "Although his behavior is a bit funny, if the princess said that he was good at covering up, his subordinates would not be surprised, but why does the princess think that it is his true color, but thinks that he is more terrible, subordinates I have also learned the art of war and tactics. They all say that the general must be calm and ruthless in order to be invincible. I think this strategy is the same. Isn’t it that the wise man is ruthless? If Jiang Zhe still has emotional weaknesses, why does the princess think that he is even more terrifying. Woolen cloth?"
Lin Bi's eyes became dark and deep, and said, "I was a general in the Lin family's time. Although I can't be called a master of the art of war, I have some unique insights. Some people say that leading troops to fight requires ruthlessness, which is not bad, but according to our many years of experience In terms of military experience, if the enemy general is completely ruthless, and only uses his troops according to the tactics and situation, he will be defeated in nineteenth. In this way, although it can hardly be mistaken by emotion, it is the soldiers who rely on the war, and the general can be ruthless and calm, but his soldiers are flesh and blood people, who will fear and hate.
The same is true of being a counselor. The level of counselors can be roughly divided into three levels. Although the third-level counselors have their own strengths, they also have their own weaknesses. Fear, the second-class advisors are ruthless and ruthless. They only have interests in their hearts. Although such characters are scary, they also have opportunities to take advantage of. The emotional factors of their opponents are calculated. Since ancient times, heros have often died in unfortunate circumstances, and those who are good at calculating often suffer for themselves, because they forget that for some people, interests and power are not worth loyalty and family affection, and if a person has only interests in his heart , then what they do is traceable, so that if their opponents are resourceful, they can guess their tactics, and as long as the strength is sufficient, it is not difficult to win. And the most terrifying first-class advisors are those who have rich feelings themselves, but they can abandon the influence of emotions when making plans. Such advisors are already rare and difficult to deal with, but such advisors also have weaknesses, and their talent and scheming often People are afraid and do not want to be close to them, so it is often difficult for them to give full play to their talents, and it is difficult for people around them to implement their plans with all their hearts. Although these third-class advisors are terrifying, they all have weaknesses that can be used. But Jiang Zhe is different, he has surpassed this limit.
You have also seen his strategies. He penetrates people's hearts, like weak water, all-pervasive. He is the most adept at using all external forces that can be used. His pure heart, no matter how vicious he uses, he is sincere to the people around him. In this way, no one around him will hinder him and he can fully utilize his talents. You have also heard that not only the Dayong Emperor Li Zhi trusted him, but also the Qi King Li Xian, who had always been at odds with Li Zhi, also loved this person very much, and he would not be angry because Jiang Zhe touched his inverse scales. Now, his son has become the future son-in-law of King Qi, and a close disciple of Shaolin Master Cizhen. Even Shaolin no longer regards him as a potential threat. Such a person has both earth-shattering means and a spring breeze. Charm, with him around, Dayong will no longer have civil strife, you say, this person is very scary. To put it in my heart, this person is my confidant of the Northern Han Dynasty. If he doesn't die, I can't feel at ease. "
A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Huwei's eyes, and he said, "Why don't we send someone out to try to assassinate him at all costs?"
Lin Bi was noncommittal and said, "Do you think King Qi has a higher military strategy than Ting Fei?"
Xiao Huwei said in shock: "How could Your Highness ask such a question, then how can King Qi be compared to the general, not to mention that he has never had a good deal with the general over the years, that is, in the hands of Prince Nan Chude, he does not Did it fail miserably?"
Lin Bi sighed and said: "Actually, the way of using soldiers, although it sounds complicated, is actually nothing more than leading elite soldiers and knowing how to advance and retreat. This is already a rare and famous general. There are only one or two people who can do it. King Qi is also a good military man. At that time, if the famous generals were in command, I am afraid that no one would be able to go out to the right of King Qi, and the elite of Dayong iron cavalry was not in our Northern Han army. However, King Qi was always suppressed by Ting Fei. Even in Nanchu, he was defeated because he was stubborn and eager to win. Although this kind of temperament has some advantages, when he was defeated, he often persevered and persevered. In the battle, there will be a day of victory, but often one will not retreat, and even be taken by others. King Qi has a arrogant personality and is easily reluctant to convince others. If the person who persuades him is not someone he admires in his heart, he will often He returned without success, so he couldn't beat Ting Fei in the northern Xinjiang for several years, but King Qi did have the talent of a general, and after the change of seizing the throne, his temperament also forbeared a lot, which was how he maintained Dayong. The stability of the northern border. When I saw King Qi this time, I was not worried, because although he was imposing, his temper was still stubborn and stubborn, and his desire to die was better than the idea of survival. Ben Gong originally wanted to go back Then tell Ting Fei so that he can start from this direction.
But after King Qi saw Jiang Zhe, it was different. The stubbornness of mind became soft, and his temperament was much brighter. Even the former death ambition became vigorous. Such King Qi is not me. What I want to see, and I am more worried that Jiang Zhe will stay by King Qi's side, and that there is such a counselor whom King Qi loves to advise him, the pressure on Ting Fei will be too great. "
Xiao Huwei said: "His Royal Highness, isn't Jiang Zhe going back to Chang'an? We can't let him go to King Qi's army."
Lin Bi smiled coldly and said, "I don't believe that Jiang Zhe will really go back to Chang'an. In this case, I'm afraid he will go directly to the army with King Qi. King Qi's character is very domineering, I'm afraid Jiang Zhe wants to accompany him. When Princess Changle returns to Chang'an, he won't let anyone go."
Xiao Huwei said in shock: "Impossible, Master Cizhen is here to pass the order. Does Jiang Zhe dare to go against Emperor Yong's will, and he is not worried that Emperor Yong suspects that he is colluding with King Qi?"
Lin Bi smiled and said, "Have you seen the imperial decree? Didn't you just hear Master Cizhen's message? How do you know what the real decree is? Besides, is Jiang Zhe someone who obeys the imperial decree?"
Xiao Huwei said, "Then what is your Highness' plan?"
Lin Bi looked at the sky in the distance and said, "I want to see if Jiang Zhe has the ability to enter the Dayong Barracks. King Qi and Jiang Zhe, you are all my confidants of Northern Han, and I will never let you. It's easy to reach the battlefield. Strangers meet and become confidants, and he sees this heart in the battlefield. Li Xian, Li Xian, do you still have the mind of life and death?"
As soon as the dawn broke through the thick clouds, the quiet wilderness was awakened by the crisp sound of hooves and wheels. On the empty official road, a four-wheeled carriage covered with a cyan cloth was guarded by more than 400 knights. Moving forward briskly, the more than 400 knights were divided into four teams, one team opened the way, the other team broke the back, and the other two teams were protecting the carriage from left to right. The color of their armor is also divided into two colors, the two teams of knights guarding the carriage, one team is black and black, the other is red, and the two teams of knights in the front and back are red. If anyone who knew the details of Dayong's army saw it, they would be amazed, because no matter who the army was in Dayong's army, they basically wore cyan armor, and the cyan was almost black, but except for one army, other The army would never wear pure black armor, and that army was King Yong's guard. In addition, the guards of the King of Qi wore red armor, the guards of the Qin Yi army preferred to wear white armor, and the imperial guards wore yellow armor. Now that King Yong has ascended the throne, the original Imperial Guard has changed its name to Longchung Guard and is still responsible for guarding the imperial city. However, the former Yong King Guard has been renamed Huwei Guard, guarding the palace city. Longchung and Huyu are also called the Imperial Guard. Shang Hei did not change his previous style because he was responsible for protecting the Son of Heaven. No one in Dayong knew that black armor could be worn by everyone except the Imperial Army. Then this nearly 100 knights could only be the Tiger Guards who were trusted by Emperor Li Zhi's side. However, it was King Qi's guard who protected the carriage with them, which made people wonder the identity of the person in the carriage.
I smiled and looked at King Qi, who frowned, and said, "His Royal Highness, this time I asked the East Sea Marquis to help me, and I blocked the East China Sea for half a month. Lin Bi would definitely not have the opportunity to send a letter back in advance. With our strength, It should be safe to return to His Highness's camp. Why is His Highness so worried?"
King Qi sighed and said, "I also believe that the Northern Han Dynasty has no way to send the information out. I didn't know until yesterday that you invited Lin Bi to restrict the actions of the Northern Han Dynasty, and then mobilized the forces of the East Sea Marquis to help prevent the Northern Han Dynasty. The army got the information in advance and ambushed us on the road. After all, this road is only a few dozen miles away from the border. If the Northern Han cavalry ambushed on the road, it would be very difficult for us to escape. This area is close to the border, and Dayong's military strength is not enough. I have the absolute upper hand, and I can't mobilize too many troops to protect it, so as not to be frightened or taken by others. But I brought three hundred personal guards, and the emperor sent another hundred tigers to be your personal guards. These four hundred cavalry, even if we encounter the enemy, we can find opportunities to break through or stand firm for help. Besides, if there is no time to plan for a few days, I don't believe that the Northern Han has the ability to set up a net of heaven and earth."
Having said this, King Qi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you and the emperor are also cautious enough, who would have thought that Hu Weiwei was already waiting in Binzhou, and as soon as Master Cizhen arrives and Lin Bi leaves, you will set off immediately, I am afraid Now Lin Bi is still behind us, even now that Lin Bi has sent the news back, it is too late."
I couldn't help but ask: "Why is Your Highness so worried now? Is it because you are worried about Li Lin? With Zhen'er taking care of him, are you still worried? Lin'er is still young, and no matter how anxious you are, you can't let him get away with it now. On the battlefield, let him follow Zhen'er back to Beijing this time, you don't have to worry. On the way, Master Cizhen will protect him."
Li Xian frowned again and said, "I know that Changle will protect Lin'er well, I wasn't worried at first, but for some reason, I always feel that we have overlooked something? Although we temporarily cut off Lin Bi and Beihan's Intelligence channel, but there are Demon Sect masters in the Northern Han Dynasty, if they have already got the news, I am worried that they will ambush halfway, Suiyun, you are not skilled in martial arts, if you encounter the enemy, I am worried about your safety."
I chuckled and said, "This risk is always taken. This is the nearest road. Hurry up, you can reach the camp in five or six days, and there will be 300,000 troops to protect you. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it. When encountering the enemy army, there is His Highness commanding to reject the enemy, Zhe is also relieved, and besides, Xiao Shunzi is also with the army, and at the worst, he can protect me from the siege."
Li Xian's brows stretched slightly, and it was strange to say that he thought Jiang Zhe's plan was very meticulous, but Li Xian noticed something strange along the way. They didn't encounter each other, which made Li Xian feel that there was a danger that the storm was about to come and the building would be filled with wind.
At this time, someone said from outside the car: "Your Highness, Lord Jiang, something is wrong. The scouts sent out have not heard back."
Li Xian frowned and said, "The terrain in front is flat, and it is the battlefield where the cavalry will exert their power. We must guard against it. Send two people, don't ride on horses, and go to the front to take a look." The two guards of King Qi dismounted and took off the heavy Iron armor, put on plain clothes, disappeared into the grass by the roadside, and disappeared from my sight in a blink of an eye.
I looked around through the window and saw that in the late autumn, the dead grass on both sides of the road was exceedingly high. When the autumn wind blew, the waves were undulating. In addition, the road was quite high, and the two sides extended diagonally downward. Even if you hide thousands of troops, you may not be able to see it. My heart couldn't help but feel cold. Could it be that there are really ambushes? Did I set so many obstacles that I hoped that they would think that I was preparing to return to Chang'an, but they were all in vain? But in such a short period of time, how could they have set up an ambush? Although the border of Dayong is now almost undefended for the Northern Han, it does not mean that they can enter Dayong without careful planning.
At this time, a sharp copper whistle suddenly came from the front, and I trembled in my heart. This was the alarm sound from the scouts. They did not return quietly. It seems that they have encountered great danger. The scale is still huge.
King Qi heard the alarm sound, raised his sword eyebrows, jumped out of the carriage, and turned on a fiery red warhorse. Xiao Shunzi, who had been in charge of driving, had a worried look on his face. He checked the horses he was driving and asked in a low voice, "Sir, the speed of the carriage is too slow, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up, what should we do?"
When I was in danger, I calmed down and said calmly: "You and I are not good at commanding on the spot, these matters are things that His Royal Highness Qi has to worry about. This carriage is made of stainless steel, and the carriage is surrounded by steel plates, as long as you protect it. After the carriage, you don't have to worry about my safety, and in a while, you will also obey His Highness's instructions, in this case, if there is no surprise victory, we will all die here."
At this time, King Qi had ordered a diversion to the territory of Dayong. It seemed that he wanted to join the Yong army guarding the area. At this moment, horns sounded from all directions, and I had blocked the steel plate inside the car window. Looking out through the small window above the car door, I saw that the Northern Han cavalry had already appeared in the field of vision. They were like tigers and horses like dragons. They interspersed vertically and horizontally, and soon surrounded our army from a distance. I calculated with my heart that the enemy army had at least 3,000 people. This was definitely not a chance encounter. The troops of the Northern Han Dynasty cruising in Dayong were generally small cavalry with about 100 people. At this time, I saw a big flag with red letters on a black background erected in front of me, with a big "stone" written on it.
"General Feihu Quartz," I heard King Qi shouting loudly: "You dare to sneak into my Dayong territory to wreak havoc, but don't you take my Dayong in your eyes?"
A middle-aged general in his thirties, with a thin face and a stern expression, also said loudly: "Northern Han Dayong is an enemy country, His Royal Highness King Qi does not know his own weight and takes risks lightly, no wonder Shi Mou, Today you are dead and alive, if you dismount and surrender, or I see your status as a noble, I will not take your life." Beside the general was a sergeant in the armor of the Northern Han army, his visor had been lowered and he could not see His features, I could see with great eyesight that the sergeant was pointing in the direction of my carriage and saying something. Then I saw that the middle-aged general's eyes also fell on the carriage, and that icy gaze swept across, I just felt cold all over. At this time, the middle-aged general shouted loudly: "My sons, kill Li Xian for me and capture that carriage, who can bring me Li Xian's head and a bounty of 100 catties, and who can capture that carriage for me? The people above, the bounty is a thousand pieces of gold."
Then, the middle-aged general closed his visor, and the horse lance in his hand took the lead in rushing down, while the king of Qi, Li Xian, sneered, pointed forward with the treasured saber in his hand, and said loudly: "Breakthrough!" After that, I As soon as I noticed that the carriage began to run quickly, I quickly held the handle on the wall of the carriage tightly, and the small window on the door was also closed by Xiao Shunzi from the outside. It was pitch black inside the carriage, and I couldn't see the battlefield outside, but I could feel the deafening cries of killing all around me.
At this moment, I smiled bitterly in the dark, I have already figured out a lot of things, why is Lin Bi still behind us, but the ambush seems to have been waiting for a long time, just because I misestimated a person, Lu Can, only It might be Lu Can, he went to see Lin Bi, not to form an alliance or something, but to reach an agreement with Lin Bi. Southern Chu is in charge of delivering information, and Northern Han is in charge of ambush. No matter how resourceful I am, there will only be one fate in the face of thousands of troops. Lin Bi and Lu Can both understood the truth that the humble is better than the skillful. Strange to say, I should have felt sad, but my first disciple, Lu Can, was so cruel that he wanted to send me, my master, into Huangquan. But in my heart, there is some faint joy. In my opinion, Lu Can is a little less cruel and stubborn, and now he can be said to be my proud disciple. Listening to the voices outside silently, I know that I am useless here. If I die here, I wonder if it will be a joke
